Mates
Pollux blushed as he noticed Draco staring unashamedly. The blonde smiled softly as he approached him kindly. It gave Pollux a chance to notice the way he looked. Draco wore a full black suit, although the coat was long like a trench coat. He noticed the black dragonhide boots that went well with the suit. He then smiled softly at the soft touch of masculine jewelry.
"Hello, I am Heir Draco Lucius Malfoy." He said softly, taking his hand and kissing the back of it sweetly. "It is a pleasure to meet you."
Pollux could not help the blush on his cheeks as he curtsied slightly with a smile. "Hello, Heir Malfoy. I am Heir Pollux Slytherin. It is a pleasure to meet you as well."
"I am pleased to see my mate is as beautiful as he is proper." Draco said softly. "I quite enjoyed your letter."
This made the Veela in Pollux to burst happily. The letter Pollux had sent was one to inform Draco that he was aware of their mate status and was delighted to meet him. It was one that Severus helped him write. He, as well as his brother, had to go through days of rigorous lessons to prepare for this.
"I am glad I please you so." Pollux said softly.
Castor smiles softly as Blaise makes his way over. He noticed the Italian dressed in a dark blue suit with white accents. His eyes looked into Blaise's dark brown eyes which showed love.
"I genuinely thought I would never meet you. I was overjoyed when I saw your letter, Love." Blaise whispered as he kissed the back of his hand. "You look beautiful."
"Thank you." Castor says genuinely. "You look very handsome yourself."
The Veela in Castor was purring in happiness as they saw the joy in their mate's eyes. He saw as Blaise's smile softened even more. His features seemed less tense than before. It was as though Blaise had been just as nervous to meet him as he was. Which, for Castor, helped ease his nerves.
Severus smiled softly looking at Thomas. The same man who held his heart for all these years. He let out a small laugh, however, at the obvious struggle his husband was having. He could see Thomas wanting to go and lock up their son's. It was adorable in his eyes to see his mate so protective of their children. It was...invigorating...as well.
"They will be alright, Love." Severus said softly. "We both know Blaise and Draco well. Neither will hurt our son's."
"I still worry." Thomas admits. "We just got our son's back."
"I know." Severus says simply. "I do as well. However, we will be able to make situations go our way. Let us go see how Lucius, Narcissa, and Maria are fairing."
"Oh Severus! Isn't this just wonderful! Our sweet boys! Mates!"
Severus chuckled softly as Narcissa's excitement and nodded. He couldn't disagree that he felt better knowing his sons were mated to the two young men he knew well. While he was friends with Lucius, due to his Submissive nature he was always close to Narcissa and Maria. Thomas was closer to Lucius and Antino Zabini.
"Maria," Thomas began softly. "Where is Antino?"
"Ah. The Italian Minister needed him." She rolled her eyes. "Of course with the rise in activity from the Serio family my husband is needed much more lately."
"Of course. Of course." Thomas says with a knowing smile.
As the day went on the two young submissive's were filled with absolute joy.
Castor was hesitant to begin talking on his favorite subject, Herbology, as many found it lacking and quite boring. Yet, as he watched the Italian listen closely with kind eyes, he couldn't help but go on a full tangent. It was primarily about the complete disaster that was the Hogwarts greenhouses. Castor was still irritated because he knew Professor Sprout tried her best but without an assistant the poor woman did not truly have enough time for the Greenhouses, Teaching, Grading, and her Head of House duties.
That made Castor pause. He and his brother looked at each other with wide eyes. Of course! That is why all the teachers were so ignorant of most of the ongoings in Hogwarts!
"Professor Sprout, with what I listed." Castor started as he and his brother sat across from each other.
"Professor McGonagall with teaching, grading, Head of House duties and then her duties as Deputy Headmistress!"
"And Professor Flitwick with his teaching, grading, Head of House duties and he helps Professor McGonagall with her Deputy duties!"
"And the other Professors don't have as much power as the Heads!"
"And then Mama is busy with teaching, grading, Head of House duties, and then his work as a spy!"
"So if we start with using our powers as Lords of Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin we can order the Board of Governors to change it so every teacher has an assistant at least, if not two!" Pollux added excitedly.
"And we can talk to Luna as Lady Ravenclaw! Of course!" They finished together.
They blushed heavily as they turned to see the other occupants watching them in amazement. Their Papa quickly grinned as he clapped.
"My sweet geniuses! I never thought of that! And you know Lady Ravenclaw?" He asked.
"Well yes." Pollux nodded. "Luna Lovegood? Her Father, Xenophilius Lovegood is related to Rowena Ravenclaw but never wanted the title. He allowed Luna to take up the mantle of Lady Ravenclaw early. Then I am Lord Gryffindor as well as Slytherin. Gryffindor because of Potter. Then Castor is Lord Hufflepuff because of Alice Longbottom."
"Making you three complete control of Hogwarts." Lucius said in awe.
"Yes. So I must ask that you give us a list of those on the Board and who is best to contact to get the ball rolling so to speak. Muggle saying." Pollux finished explaining.
"I will make sure to get those to you or your Papa and Mama by the end of tomorrow evening." Lucius stated with a nod before quickly adding. "My Dark Princes."
"It is quite alright, Lucius." Thomas said calmly. "Only when we are in meetings and they are there or when they are mentioned in such do you need to call them the Dark Princes."
"Well Draco, seems our Mates are quite the smart ones." Blaise stated with a smile.
"Yes, very clever." Draco said with a nod.
"I think we got the best mates of the entire history of mates."
"I agree."
The Heir of the House of Malfoy and the Heir of the House of Zabini both relished in the beautiful color of red their mates had on their cheeks. The two Dark Princes were looking anywhere but their two mates, making the adults in the room (particularly Narcissa and Maria) cooing.
By the end of night Blaise and Castor were making plans to set up dates in the kitchens, Draco and Pollux were set for a date in the Astronomy tower, and Lucius was writing to the Board of Governors.
