Warnings: Veela!Draco, Vampire!Severus, Fae!Harry, mpreg, submissive creatures, dominant creatures, mild violence, slash, OCs, after school, AU, threesomes and whatever else we two demented authors think up.
Summary: Life seems to be okay, but when you find out you have to mate, it only gets stranger. Isn't a person meant to only have one mate? What does it mean when you've got two? What do you do when only one is the submissive? Well, three people are to find out soon.

Notes: This is a new header now, as Tiger has changed her style a bit. But the main part of information is that we are trying to make some parts as believable as possible. This is also a warning, though we think people have realized by now, this is not a fic for people who like Hermione. Also, there will be more pairings appearing in this story; it will just take time to show up.

Chapter 15

It was Christmas time at Hogwarts and Ron was sitting alone in the Gryffindor Common Room. All of Gryffindor except for him had gone home for the holidays. He was worried; it had been two weeks since Draco had gotten the letter from his father. Ron had left the room and written a letter asking if Mr. Malfoy would meet with him, before seeing his son and trying to take the blond Veela away from the rest of the triad. He had hoped for a speedy reply and was still waiting for one. There was a tapping sound coming from the window and he looked up to see the Malfoy owl waiting to be let in.

Ron stood up and let the owl in, watching as it dropped a letter at his feet. He found it quite amusing that the owl seemed to drop letters on the floor with much ease. Ron shook his head and picked the letter up, opening it. There was something wrong with this image to him, but he couldn't figure out what to do in some sense. While he had hoped for a reply, now that it was here, he was nervous. He sighed and began to read the letter.

Mr. Weasley,

I was very surprised to receive a missive from you about my son. Last I had heard about you both was that you were sworn enemies. But you have written to me asking for a meeting about my son and his mates. As you are a seventh year, you are allowed to go to Hogsmeade during the weekends. As it's a Saturday, I would appreciate you meeting with me today at 1 pm, I shall be waiting at The Three Broomsticks for you, please be prompt as I do not wish to waste my time.

Yours sincerely,

Lucius Malfoy

Ron put the letter down and shook his head. He looked at the clock and saw that it was twelve-thirty. It would take time to get to Hogsmeade; this meant he had to leave now. Running upstairs, he made his way up to his dorm to get his cloak; it didn't take long for him to retrieve it. Once he had it on, he ran off out of the common room, making his way towards Hogsmeade and The Three Broomsticks. He was frowning a bit. He hoped that he would be able to talk Lucius into letting Draco be happy. He had never seen the boy as happy as he was with Harry and Severus. He could see him becoming quite the happy father to Harry's children.

It was five to one when he walked into The Three Broomsticks, he looked around, hoping to spot a blond head amongst the crowd, but couldn't. He felt a hand clasp his shoulder. "Hello Mr. Weasley, I have organized a quiet room for us along with some lunch," came the silky smooth voice of Lucius Malfoy. Ron turned around to look into the eyes that were the spitting image of his new friend's. Ron nodded in agreement and they both made their way to a back room where there stood a table with their lunch.

Lucius sat down and motioned for Ron to do the same thing. Ron sat across from Lucius, not saying a single thing. Lucius motioned for Ron to eat, he did the same thing. Neither said a thing, the silence being broken only by the sound of cutlery on plates. Ron finally sighed, getting tired of the silence. He looked up to see Lucius' eyes focused straight on the plate in front of him. "Sir…I don't think you should really try and break Draco up from his mates." Lucius' hands stopped moving. He set his knife and fork down and looked at Ron, not saying a word. His silver eyes just stared straight into Ron's blue ones.

There was aptitude in the blue eyes he was looking at, an ability to see the truth in anything, and the heart. "Mr. Weasley I appreciate that you care about my son, I do as well, but it is not possible for me to let him go with whomever he had mated with. He has a duty to this family and that is to marry a respectable pureblood girl and have an heir. If this does not happen then the Malfoy family will end with him," he said, his voice was hard, but Ron could tell there was a sadness about it, telling the young redhead what he truly thought about what he was feeling.

Ron shook his head. He knew that Lucius understood and wished that Draco could be happy with them. Of course, he wasn't taking everything into perspective. Ron took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He opened them again and returned his gaze onto Lucius. "Mr. Malfoy, you don't have to worry about Draco not having an heir. Harry's a submissive Fae. This means that he can provide heirs to his mates." Lucius looked at Ron intently for a moment. He could tell that Ron was indeed speaking the truth. This meant that Harry really could provide children. Then again, he was somewhat curious about how Ron knew this for a fact.

He looked over to his companion and asked, "How have you come into all of this information? As well as to how you knew I had sent a letter to Draco? I know for a fact that Draco would never share a letter that I have sent with anyone." His curiosity getting the better of him, the Weasleys in general did not have this type of intelligence of forethought; they were mainly temperamental sort, especially the Weasley matriarch. He had often heard Draco going on about this particular Weasley's temper and the consequences of such.

Ron sighed. "For one thing, I helped Harry research when he came into his Fae inheritance. For another…He's currently pregnant with his mate's child. And I was in the room with Draco and Harry when he received your letter. He doesn't hide things from his mates." He looked back at his food and took another bite, enjoying the meal quite well. He sighed a bit, knowing that this would intrigue Lucius all the more. He had expected a lot of questions, which was a good thing.

Lucius looked thoughtful, he knew one of Draco's mates was a submissive Fae, but he had yet to find out who the other mate was, was it another submissive, which did not seem likely as it was unheard of that two submissive would be with only one dominant. So it would be another dominant, he did not know of any other person that would be in a triad with his son. He looked over to Ron. "You know who the other mate is, and will you kindly tell me?"

Ron nodded and took a deep breath. He swallowed his food and looked at Lucius once more. "I'll tell you. I don't know how much he'll freak out. But if it helps you, it's Severus Snape. Harry's currently having Severus' children." He finished the last of his food on his plate and set his utensils down. He had his hands in his lap as he continued to watch Lucius.

Lucius may not have looked shock at the revelation on the outside, but inside his mouth was gaping like a fish. Severus Snape, his old school friend was with his son. "I don't know whether to be worried or pleased that I know he will be taken care of properly. Severus is older, but that means he is wiser to the ways of the world. It was one of my main concerns for when he left home. What about you Mr. Weasley, how do you feel about your friend being with two people whom you have hated in the past?"

"I'm happy for Harry," Ron said. He sat there for a moment more, not elaborating in any sense. "I mean, I have to put my prejudices aside. Harry is my brother Mr. Malfoy, as long as he's happy I don't care who his mates are. Draco and I have called a truce, we're not necessarily friends, but we're not going to fight for Harry's sake and we'll learn to like each other maybe. Professor Snape and I, well…We've gotten closer with how often I've protected Harry from what Hermione did." He picked up his glass of Butterbeer and drank a bit from it. He wasn't going to say anymore than necessary, but that was Ron. He was answering Lucius' questions, that was the best thing he could do at that particular moment. He wasn't going to let Draco lose his mates because of Lucius.

Lucius mulled over what Ron had said about putting aside his own feeling and letting someone he cared about be happy. Should he do that with Draco? Let the young man make his own decision? Ones that will let him be happy? "What do you think I should do, should I let Draco stay with his mates?" he asked as Ron put his drink down.

Ron nodded. "I think you should. I've seen the three of them together. I've never seen Draco as happy as he is now. He enjoys every moment he has with his mates." He took another sip of his drink and went to looking around the nicely decorated room. It wasn't every day that someone got to do such a thing. He liked the look of the room. The only thing he was uncertain of was the fact that he didn't think that Lucius would allow Draco the happiness he deserved, but that was no guarantee.

Lucius got up from the table and walked over to the window. He looked out into the snow covered Hogsmeade. He saw some of the older students walking around, buying last minute Christmas presents for their friends and families, a pensive look on his face. Would he let Draco stay with them? Or did he take the young blond away? "I need to talk with Draco. It would be best if I did. There are some things that I need to ask him, before I make a proper decision," he said finally as he turned around to face the room.

"You need to see how the three of them interact and I don't think they'll exactly let you anywhere near them. They don't want you to take Draco away," Ron said. He was still sitting in his seat, not moving a muscle. He wasn't about to move without being told to. He didn't want to make Lucius mad. That was one of the things that was constantly on Ron's mind. He knew that if he moved that there might be a chance at Lucius attacking him. It wasn't often that a Weasley could sit for this long and not get attacked by a Malfoy. He could only hope that Lucius would see reason.

Lucius began to pace the room. "If, as you say, I need to see them together to know whether or not I should let Draco stay with them, then I should. But you also say they won't let me near them. Then how am I supposed to see them together? I have no other heir and my wife is dead, so having another child to keep the family name going is not an option for me. If it is as you say that one of his mates can have children then I may allow the relationship to continue. Find a way for me to talk to my son, and to see them all together maybe the only way that I can be convinced that staying with them is what is best for Draco and the Malfoy name."

Ron nodded and stood up. "I will do so sir. I'll talk to them and see what I can do. But I really should head back to the school." He knew that standing up would startle Lucius, but he had to get back and talk to them. He was looking at the blonde haired man, and was unable to take his eyes away from the pacing. He hadn't ever heard of a Malfoy pacing and this was a new sight to him. Lucius stopped pacing and looked at him, his eyebrow raised. "I will take care of it sir, don't worry about it." He then walked out before Lucius could say another word.

Lucius sat down at the table. The young man intrigued him. He had the attitude and the manners of someone from the aristocracy. It wasn't the selfish arrogance that most of the upper Wizarding world had, but a worldly attitude with kindness. He hoped he would have a chance to get to know the young man more. He wondered if he would be true to his word and try to get the three mates to meet with him. With one last glance around the room he left.

Ron went straight to Severus' rooms where he knew that the three would be. If they didn't have to, they wouldn't leave. Of course, Severus wouldn't allow them to not do schoolwork, though he was generally nice about helping. At that specific moment Harry was trying to get Severus to let him take a break from his Christmas schoolwork and just cuddle. Of course, Harry wasn't exactly winning, that was the one thing that Severus was adamant about. Draco wasn't even bothering; he was just breezing through his essays. Draco knew that it would be quite the stupid idea for him to try and fight.

Ron said the password to the rooms and walked in when it opened. The portrait had been given an instruction that if they were within the bedroom or doing things best friends shouldn't see, the portrait would remain closed. "I have just talked to your father Draco; he won't take you away just yet. He wants to talk to you and see the three of you together," he blurted out when they all looked at him as he entered the room.

Draco paled a bit. "He wants to talk to me?" Ron nodded. He looked at his two mates and worried. Usually his father didn't talk. He wondered what was up, but had no idea how to ask. He took a deep breath and shook his head. He didn't want to have to figure out what was going on. Something was not right in his mind, but that was typical for Draco to think. He looked at Harry who shrugged. He wasn't about to make a decision. His attention went to Severus who gave him the, 'you decide for yourself' look. Ultimately, Draco was the one that had to somehow come with the final decision.

Ron went over to where Draco was and sat down near the blond and began to explain what had happened. "Your father wants you to carry on the Malfoy name that is the main thing he is worried about, if you can prove that Harry can have a child to be the Malfoy heir he will let you stay with them both. He didn't know who your mate, well mates were. He thought that whomever your mate was that they would not be able to provide you with children. I think he was frightened that if he let you be with them then the Malfoy line will die out and end with you. I think he wants you to be happy, but he needs to make sure that you will be happy with them by seeing you all together and talking to you. I think he has some questions of his own to ask you. Though I don't know what they are," he finished.

Draco just whimpered slightly and stood up. "Why am I not surprised? I don't want to leave them." He looked at Severus and Harry for help. Harry shrugged once again. He looked at Severus once again and took a deep breath. He wanted to figure out how to answer the question and he also wondered if he should let Lucius come and see them. He knew his father was true to his word, but that didn't mean that he didn't worry. He took a hand and placed it over his chest as it began to feel tight. Less than a minute later a smaller hand took his into it. He looked and saw Harry holding his hand. He looked at Draco with a loving gaze. It let Draco know that nothing bad would happen; at least that's what he thought. The only thing Draco could do was nod, as he was entranced by Harry's eyes.

Ron looked at them and smiled, this is what he wanted Lucius Malfoy to see. He knew that other things needed to be said between father and son. But Ron thought that if Lucius Malfoy could see the three of them together, he would think twice about taking Draco away. "If you don't want to see him say so Draco, I know it's a hard decision, but I think you should give him a chance at seeing the three of you together," Ron said to the blond.

Draco only sighed. "Fine…I'll see him, but…I won't let him take me away." He was quite resolved in not leaving them. Draco knew that in the beginning he had joined them because Harry would have been worse off without the both of them, but now he was actually in love with them. His day was complete around them and he wished that he could move into Severus' rooms like Harry had. Of course, that didn't necessarily help that he was only a dorm room away. He sighed and stood up, helping Harry stand as well. "I know that he'll probably try to make me see reason, but I won't allow it." He gave Harry a kiss on the cheek and smiled at Severus. Severus only shook his head, quite amused at the way Draco was acting.

Ron nodded his head in understanding about what Draco was saying, though he whispered to himself, "I don't think he will take you away. He cares more about you than you think." Severus looked at him curiously.

Draco smiled. "Well…I'm going to go lay down." He then walked out of the room and sighed. Harry looked at Severus and walked over to him, sitting down and cuddling Severus. Severus placed his hands on Harry's stomach and kissed him. Ron shook his head and left the room. He was going to tell Lucius that Draco agreed. Of course, he was going to make sure that it took place in Severus' rooms. That was the only way he could guarantee Draco's safety. He gave himself a secret smile; he knew things were going to turn out just fine.

A/N: sorry for the wait people. There's a problem with the editing, still kicking poor Tiger's butt. She's worn out and has other works she's doing as well, plus other editing for people. So she's quite tired. So it's quite upsetting it took so long. We are also sorry to report now that Tiger will be gone for two weeks, and so updates might not take place, but the work is going with her, so a chapter or more might be done when she gets back. Later

Duochan here, well we have nineteen chapters to go and Tiger hopes that she can get a few done while on Holiday so be thankful to her and review so I can share them all with her. We have also started another joint fanfic called Stolen Time, we have chapter one/prologue done and it stands at 25 pages, and the first two pages of the second chapter. Lol. Hope you have enjoyed this chapter.
