Magical Lineage

Both wizards just stared at her. Since neither of them were saying anything, she forged ahead. “Please say something. I know I should have told you both. I just didn’t want you to think there was something wrong with me. I’ll understand if you want to leave. It’s really not a problem, we could just do this and get it out of the way.” She was rambling and making no sense. They were still just staring at her.

Just as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she felt arms around her. Two sets of arms. They were kissing her and saying words that were not making any sense. “Unbelievable… perfect… kill Krum… Yule Ball…”

She finally got her wits about her and said, “What is happening? You’re not mad at me? You’re not disappointed?”

“What the hell are you talking about?” Draco asked. “How could you be a virgin? Better still, how could you being a virgin be a disappointment?”

Theo said, “I wanted to kill Krum at the Yule Ball. You looked so beautiful and he had such a reputation.”

Draco laughed, “Although to his credit he never did say that he had sex with her.”

Theo responded, “He never said he didn’t have sex with her. Plus Weasley was so pissed. You do remember I punched him in the back of the head.”

“Of course I remember, I healed your hand. I don’t think he ever knew who hit him.” Draco chuckled.

Hermione finally grasped that there was a conversation that was going on around her, “What are you two talking about? You're not mad?”

“Theo, the witch we fantasize about, the one we wanked to, the one you assaulted someone over, wants to know if we are mad that she is still a virgin.” Draco said.

Theo said, “That bastard Weasley still deserved what he got.”

Hermione finally found her voice. “What Weasley? You hit Ron? When? Why?”

“That fucker called you a name. He’s lucky I didn’t use an unforgivable on him” Theo growled.

She knew she should be angry with his solution to the situation, and she was, but she was also very excited at his protective reaction. “Okay. Stop. Start at the beginning. What did you do to Ron and why and when?” That should cover everything. There should be no way they could avoid giving her direct answers.

Theo clenched his jaw, she could see the muscle tightening and flexing. Reaching for his jaw and gently nudging him to look at her. Finally, he did and said, “After the Yule Ball, when I was sure that Krum was enjoying more than your company. I had a few too many firewiskeys…”

Draco chimed in, “You drank the whole bloody bottle.”

“...Yes. Well. If memory serves you had your own bottle and were commiserating at what the son-of-a bitch was doing to the brightest witch of our time. Anyway, we were sitting in an alcove on the fifth floor when that red-haired git walked by grumbling to himself. We heard him say, ‘She so smart, I think she’s a bloody idiot. Panting after him like a bitch in heat. After tonight the Gryffindor Princess will be just another one of his slags.”

Draco added, “We were just about to step out of the alcove, and start shit with him. Thought he was talking about his date. Never imagined he was talking about you. Then it hit us he said ‘Gryffindor Princess’. Before I knew what was happening Theo stepped out and tapped his shoulder, as he turned Theo punched him in the side of his head and down the bastard went. It really was glorious. We actually thought about putting him outside in the snow, but we heard someone coming so we duct back into the alcove, threw up a silencing charm and waited.”

Theo chuckled, “Turned out it was Snape. He saw Ron laying on the floor and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, shook him until he came to. The moment the idiot opened his mouth, Snape smelled the alcohol and dragged him away. Heard he had to serve three weeks of detention with Filch, cleaning the lavatories without magic. Our Head of House really did give your house the worst fucking detentions.” Both men laughed then.

Remembering that evening, she was hurt. That was the night so many things changed. Viktor was a gentleman; he wanted more physical pleasures than she was willing to give. She had fought with Ron and he had called her names. Their conversation was overheard by Fred and that was when Fred defended her. That was also the night that both Fred and she realized their feelings for each other were developing into…more.”

She was quiet for a while. When she spoke, it was barely a whisper, “Thank you for defending me. I had no idea either of you felt anything other than dislike for me.”

Draco shook his head, “Granger, when you walked down the staircase in that dress, I felt like the air had been sucked out of my lungs. In my mind I was fighting with everything I had ever been taught. I thought, ‘How could a witch, who was so beautiful and talented, be “wrong”. Why would magic do that?”

Theo added, “I saw you that night and I knew I was fucked. After the ball I found every reason to seek you out. Most of the time you were so distracted by Krum or Potter, that you didn’t even notice me.” His voice dropped, “That’s alright. It’s not like the son of a Death Eater could ask you out to Hogsmead. Not to mention I was a Slytherin.” lowering his gaze, “I just wanted to be near you.”

Hermione felt sad. She reached for their hands. The moment she touched them, she felt the static again. “‘OH, Wow. You really have had feelings for me. I never knew. I was so busy helping Harry, hunting horcruxes and trying to stay alive.”

Draco added, “I hated having to call you names or bully you. Unfortunately, if it had gotten back to my father that I showed anything other than contempt and disdain towards you, he would have been less than pleased.”

“He would have beaten you. And if mum had tried to intervene he would have taken it out on her that you were ‘weak’ because of her.” Theo said. “The fucker was crazy with trying to prove himself loyal to the pure blood cause.”

“Well it wasn’t any better for you. Theon Nott was a Death Eater in every aspect of his life. He enjoyed hurting people weaker than him. He took pleasure in their suffering. Sadly he didn’t draw the line even when it came to his son. Before Hogwarts, before Voldemort’s return, my father wasn’t bad. He was kind and loving to my mother and me. Yes he believed in blood prejudices. He believed that muggle-borns had no right to magic. It’s what he taught me. But, he was a devoted husband and father. That was when my mother asked him if Theo could live with us as often as possible. She knew what he was going through in that house of horrors. Father supported Mother’s fight to have Theo stay with us.”

Theo’s voice dropped to barely a whisper and was filled with shame. “Every time I did go home, Mum would be upset at the marks, cuts, bruises and unhealed broken bones I would return with. Then when his dark lord returned, Theon didn’t care where I was staying as long as I was out of his hair. As a matter of fact, I think he liked me staying at Malfoy Manor because then he could use me as an excuse to come over and be in the presence of his master.”

Theo saw how sad this made her. They had gotten way off topic, and said topic had become too depressing. So in true Theo fashion with the cutest most mischievous smile he said, “A virgin. Want us to fix that for you?”

Hermione laughed. Which made Draco laugh and then finally Theo. What she said next silenced both wizards immediately. “Well I suppose we should discuss and make a plan to remedy my situation.” They both looked at her as if she had a hippogriff on her head. So she added, “Shouldn’t we discuss a plan of action. I don’t want my first time to be when I’m trying to get pregnant. I do want to enjoy sex before I get pregnant. There are a few things I have heard of and read about that I might like to try. I will assume that neither of you are virgins.”

“Um No.” Theo said.

“No.” said Draco. “I’m still trying to figure out how you are. You did go to Hogwarts; everyone was sneaking around fucking everyone else. They taught us disillusionment charms and silencing charms. If they didn’t want us to screw around, they shouldn’t have taught us magic that allowed and even encouraged it.”

Hermione had never thought of it that way. How could the professors think the students would not be sexually active. Holy Helena Ravenclaw, they even taught us the contraceptive potion and charm third year. The wizards knew exactly when it fully hit her that everyone was having sex or trying to have sex at Hogwarts. “Shit. I may be the only one that didn’t have sex in school.”

Draco inquired, “So Granger, nothing. Please don’t tell me that what we did with you tonight was the first time you had an orgasm?”

Theo chimed in, “Orgasms.” Holding up two fingers, “Two mate. One from you and one from me.”

“Okay. Okay. Orgasms.” Draco amended and rolled his eyes.

Shit. She knew she would have to address this sooner rather than later. Well here goes. As if reciting a passage from a book she stated, “No, today was not my first orgasm. I have pleasured myself before. I also have been touched on my bare breasts. My bum and um, center have been touched, massaged, and fondled through my clothes. I have had someone suck on my nipples but other than that just heavy petting. I did give someone a hand job one time.”

“Fuck.” Theo said and looked at Draco and realized the wizard’s eyes had glazed over. Yep he was imagining everything she had said. Theo was stuck on her pleasuring herself. He would love to see that.

Draco found his voice, “So what we did was not anything new.”

She answered, “Well yes and no. No, in so much as I have had orgasms before. Yes, in the fact that I have never had an orgasm that was given to me by someone else. Or in the presence of anyone else. I have had someone else get me all worked up but he was unable to help me finish.”

“Please tell me that was not the Weasel.” Theo asked.

“No it was not Ronald.”

They sat in silence for a few moments. Hermione was waiting for one of them to come up with a solution. Finally, Draco asked, “Do you have parchment and quill we could use?” Hermione excused herself and went to get her work bag and returned with parchment and quill.

She handed it to Draco who promptly wrote their names in column fashion. He looked at Theo and said, “Well snake, try to find your inner lion. It’s time to help our witch. You know she works better with research and visual aides. We are going to list everything we have done.”

Theo’s eyebrows shot up and he looked at Draco as if he wasn’t sure what to say. Then he saw the vulnerability on Hermione’s face and realized how hard it had been for her to confess everything to them. So he jumped right in. “I have had sex with a few women, I’m not going to say who or how many. Vaginal and anal intercourse, oral intercourse, I have had sex with one wizard, anal and oral both giving and receiving.”

Hermione tried to even out her breathing. She was shocked that both men were trying to be so open with her. If she were to be totally honest, she was also a little turned on by the thought of Theo with a wizard.

Draco spoke up, “I have also had vaginal and anal intercourse with both witches and a wizard, both giving and receiving. I enjoy giving oral to both women and men, maybe even more than receiving.”

Hermione squared her shoulders and said, “I told you what I have done. But I also want you to know, I have never been naked in front of anyone in a sexual situation. I did experiment one summer break with a girl I met at the library. We snogged a few times and touched over our clothes but ultimately nothing came of it. She was a muggle.”

Draco said, “Do you have questions or want to ask us something about our experiences?” She blushed at him and was once again biting her lip. “Sweetheart if you keep biting that lip, we may have your situation rectified today.”

She looked up at him, brows furrowed. “Oh, I’m sorry.”

He smirked at her and said, “Don’t apologize, I have thought about biting that lip for years. It was so damn hard to concentrate in Potions. Watching you measure your ingredients while biting your lip. Shit I almost blew myself up a few times.”

Theo laughed. “I would watch you in the library. Researching something for class and you would chew that lip raw.”

“I still can’t believe you noticed me. I used to daydream about both of you when we had classes together. Pansy used to trip me or hex me in the halls after class because she would catch me staring.”

Theo said, “Fuck witch. You noticed us? Back at Hogwarts, you noticed Drake and I?”

“How could I not notice you both. Sure, Slytherins weren’t the nicest to me, but you both were the two most attractive wizards there. Every girl noticed you. But everyone knew that Slytherins didn’t socialize with other houses.”

Then the witch surprised them both, “Draco, I would watch your lips in potions. You would purse them so tight they would lose their pink color. Then when your potion was complete you would release them and they would be swollen and turn deep red as the blood would flow back into them. I would wonder if they were as soft as they looked.”

Turning to Theo, “ I would be mesmerized by your hands as you performed your wand work in charms. The way your hand would grip and your long fingers would caress your wand. I would stare at your fingers and wonder what they would feel like holding me, touching me.” She felt her cheeks warm, knowing that they were red. Clearing her throat and pushing past her embarrassment. She turned to Draco, “I do have questions. I have researched a lot of sexual terms and topics. Things that I may eventually want to discuss or learn more about.”

Rolling his eyes, “Really? Granger doing research. That’s a shocker.”

She smacked his leg and he caught her hand, kissing her palm, then he kissed each finger tip. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. “Could we look at the list and discuss what we need to do in order for me to get some experience.”

Theo gave her a devilish smile and said, “Well, you could take your clothes off and we could check that goal off the list.”

Hermione said, “You show me yours. I’ll show you mine.”

Despite her bravery, Draco sensed she was nervous. “Theo let’s not push it too far today. We have a lot of time to ‘check things off our lists’.” He turned back to Hermione, “Love, let's go to the manor and have lunch and maybe take a walk around the grounds.” He stood and took her hand. Theo grasping her other one.

She said she would follow them in about thirty minutes. She wanted to freshen up and change her clothes.

_____________________

As soon as they stepped out of the fireplace in the game room, Draco called out, “Mopsy.”

The little elf appeared, “Yes sir.”

“Could you have Tipsy pack us a picnic lunch. We are going to take Miss Granger for a walk around the grounds. I thought it would be nice to have lunch by the lake.”

“Mopsy will see to it.” and then she disappeared.

“Theo, I don’t think we should push her too fast. I don’t want her to be scared. I don’t want her to regret anything she does with us.”

“Draco, she’s a lion. She fought in a war and came out a hero. I don’t think much scares her.” Theo smiled.

“I know she is brave, but I think there is something she hasn’t told us yet. I don’t want to push. She’ll tell us, I know she will, as soon as she works up the nerve.”

“Dray, are we going to tell her about us. She needs to know. Do you think she’ll have a problem with ‘us’?”

“Honestly, I don’t think she will, but if she does, we will address everyone’s concerns. Now, I don’t know about you, I need to go change. That sexy witch doesn’t know her own powers. While she was riding my leg, the second she came, I shot my load in my pants like a bloody second year Hufflepuff.”

“Well my handsome wizard, I seem to be wearing Hufflepuff yellow and black too. I also need new undershorts. Let’s hurry before she gets here.”

Thirty minutes later she was waiting for them in the game room. Draco walked in with a picnic basket and Theo carried a blanket. She grabbed each of their hands and went out the french doors.

Draco was so excited to show her the property. He pointed out Narcissa’s rose garden. The fruit orchard, “Jack and Hippy tend to all of the grounds and animals.”

“Animals?”, she squealed.

“Yes. We have horses, owls, of course Theo’s favorite, mum’s albino peacocks.” Draco said.

“Those fuckers hate me. They only like mum. They’re even mean to Hippy and Jack, and they take care of them.”

Hermione squeezed Draco’s hand, “Could we please see the horses?”

So, they stopped at the barn on the way to the lake. Hermione could not believe her eyes. He had four magestic black Shire horses. “Oh Draco, these are the most beautiful horses I have ever seen. May I give them a treat?”

Putting the picnic basket down, the blonde reached into a bushel and grabbed an apple. He used his wand to slice it into quarters. She fed each of the horses a quarter. He was mesmerized by the vision her feeding, petting and talking to the horses. “Oh my, aren’t you a handsome boy? You are so beautiful. Here you go, I have a treat.”

“If you think these are beautiful, go around the corner.” She just looked confused. As she turned the corner, she squealed so loud. The men met her around the other side of the barn. She gave Draco a bear hug and yelled, “You have flying horses. Oh Merlin, You have flying horses.”

The two wizards were laughing at her reaction. The witch was literally jumping up and down. Theo said, “Would you like to give them a treat?”

“Yes. Yes. What do they like?”

Draco handed her a very large ladle. “Here Granger. They love this.”

She smelled it and looked utterly confused, “Scotch. You want me to give them alcohol?”

“Not just any scotch, single malt. It’s only a treat. But that’s what they like.”

Theo confirmed it. “They sure do.”

After she gave both the winged horses a ladle each of the scotch. She petted them and fawned over them for a while. Eventually puller her away from the barn they left to head to the lake. “Draco, thank you so much for letting me see the horses. They are so beautiful.”

“Sweetheart, they are pretty and majestic. You are beautiful. Watching you with them was magical. They were very comfortable with you.” Draco kissed her on top of her head and added, “Let’s go have our picnic.”

They walked across the grounds to the lake. The three had lunch, and laid around on the blanket and cuddled up and talked, kissed, touched and they even dozed off. Hermione told them about her being offered the librarian position at Hogwarts. “I have been petitioning the Board of Governors for over two years. Finally they said I could start in August. I have so many ideas for the library.”

Neither of the men spoke for a while. Then in a quiet soft voice. “Granger, are you going to live at the school? Madam Pince lived there. I know that all the teachers and staff have private living quarters in the castle.” Theo sounded worried.

“Well I am given living quarters. I had planned on working there during the day and then taking the floo home in the evening. I was going to make arrangements with a friend to watch the library in the evening and on the weekends. I guess there’ll be times I stay over but I don’t suppose that will happen often. McGonagall said my leaving in the evening is fine. During term exams, O.W.L.S and N.E.W.T.S. I’m sure I will have to adjust my schedule.”

Draco smiled at her and kissed her lips, “We will gladly support your choice to work at Hogwarts or in any job you want. What I think Theo’s concerned with is how this will work. The Ministry is not going to let you get out of the program.”

“I don’t plan on getting out of the program. I told you both that I’m committed to it. Many muggle women work, maintain relationships, and have children. I would like the opportunity to try.”

Theo exhaled, “Witch I believe you could do anything you set your mind to. We will support you in anything you want to do. Thank you for wanting to try with us.”

They sat by the lake and watched the sun set. Then they walked back to the manor. To Theo’s utter dismay, the peacocks were roaming the grounds. Hermione walked right up to them and they flocked around her, just like they do with Narcissa. She heard him mutter, “Bloody birds.”

As if the thought of the witch called to her, Draco saw his mother standing on the second floor balcony. He waved to her and she waved back. As they walked toward the manor she apparated to the stone patio outside of the game room.

“Good evening Darlings. Did you have a lovely day?”

Draco answered, “Granger took us to a muggle market and we shopped and tried different foods. Then we spent the rest of the day getting to know each other a little better.”

Narcissa noticed Hermione’s blush, so of course being Slytherin she said, “I hope both of my boys were gentlemen and minded any boundaries you may have set.”

“Yes. They were both lovely. They were kind, considerate and very understanding.”

“Good. I notice my peacocks seem to like you Miss Granger.”

Theo sarcastically said, “I don’t know why those damn birds like everyone but me and Dray.”

“Theo, I do believe my birds remember two wizards that would chase them on their brooms.”

Draco looked ashamed, “That was at least ten years ago. Those bloody birds cant remember that long ago.”

Laughing, Narcissa locked arms with her son and walked toward the french doors she explained, “These are magical birds. They live to be over eighty years old and they remember everything. You should not have terrorized them on your brooms. They will likely never forget.”

Theo rolled his eyes and said, “Great. The next fifty to sixty years avoiding their attacks.”
The two withes laughed, Draco inquired, “Mother, will you be joining us for dinner?”

“I’m sorry my dragon, no. I didn’t stay at Andromeda’s because my stomach is bothering me. I am actually going to head up to my rooms, change and rest. If I feel better, maybe I will join you for breakfast.”

“Should I call the healers?” he inquired.

The older witch glanced between them, “I don’t think it will help. I’m just going to rest. Maybe later I’ll have Tipsy make me some tea and toast. If you would like to stay, I had Mopsy make up the guest room.” A true mischievous twinkle in her eye she added, “You know, so you have options. If not, I will see you upon your next visit. Goodnight, everyone.”

Both wizards leaned in and kissed her cheek. Hermione smiled sweetly and bid goodnight to the witch.

They were all quiet for a while and then Hermione asked, “Draco, what’s wrong with your mum?”

Draco stared into the fireplace and quietly answered. “She has stomach issues. Sometimes she gets really nauseous and can’t eat. It happens quiet often. Usually she will push through and at least eat a little. Sometimes though it is actually painful and she is unable to eat for a day or two. Thankfully she is able to drink so at least she stays hydrated.”

“That’s awful. Has she had this illness her whole life?”

Draco dropped into the chair. Theo answered, “It is a side effect of being exposed to the cruciatus curse for extended periods of time.”

“The Dark Lord punished my mother for my father’s failures and then when he was in Azkaban, he punished her because of my failures. Plus, my Aunt Belle enjoyed hurting her. They had her in a cage in the main dining room. She was tortured and starved all for their entertainment.” Draco’s voice cracked.
Hermione and Theo both rushed to his sides and took his hands. Hermione kneeling on his right and Theo on his left. When she looked into his face, she saw the pain in his eyes. “I’m sure your mother doesn’t blame you. You were just a child. We were all children fighting a war we had no business fighting.”

“I know my mother doesn’t blame me. It would not have mattered if I succeeded or failed, they enjoyed torturing, starving and humiliating her. Belle deserved to die. That fucking megalomaniac deserved to die. My father deserved to die. They all hurt her and I witnessed it. I don’t really blame myself, I just wish I could have saved her and gotten her out of this house before the damage became permanent.”

Hermione was quiet for a while and then she said, “What have the healers said?”

“They told us, ‘There was too much nerve damage done during the torture. She will have pain and discomfort most days and it is most likely she will become malnourished and weak.’ So she rests as much as possible and eats on the days that she can. And I watch my mother waste away.” Draco’s voice was so quiet and had such an edge of anger he didn’t sound like himself. She could feel his magic thrum through the room.

Theo reached up and gently stroked Draco’s cheek, he instantly pulled his hand away. But not before she saw the love in his eyes. Their relationship became clear. She didn’t let on that she saw what had transpired between them in that private moment.

Theo stood and walked to the fireplace. “You can’t blame yourself. We’ve had the healers working with potioneers to create something that will help her. Yet all they can do is make her comfortable. Sadly, the combination of the potions drains her energy.

Hermione was quiet, the two men didn’t know what she was thinking. Draco stood from the chair and reached for her hand to help her up. She just continued to stare into the fire. He gently touched her shoulder and she focused her eyes on him. “Come on Granger, let's get cleaned up before dinner. I’ll show you to the guest room.”

“Oh thank you, but no thank you. I’m sorry I really need to get going. I can’t stay, I have a few things I need to do at home.” She smiled and headed to the hallway that would take her to the floo in the main entrance. She walked in front of the two and reached the fireplace before them. “Thank you so much for a lovely day. I’m sorry that I have to rush out I just didn't realize how late it was.”

She stood staring at them, vulnerably waiting for…

Draco moved in first and stepped right in front of her. She looked up into his beautiful eyes, he leaned in and kissed her. With her eyes still closed she felt him step back and Theo's fuller lips were on her.

After he stepped back Draco said, “Are you sure you need to leave? We could have dinner together. You don't have to stay the night. What will you eat? You only had vegetables and fruit from the market.”

“I’m sorry, I really do need to get going. I’ll be fine. Good night.” and then she was gone in a flare of green light.

Theo turned and punched the wall, “Shit. I fucked up. I’m sorry. I’m so fucking stupid. I was lost in the moment and saw you were upset and instinctively reached to comfort you.”

Draco didn’t say anything. He reached for the other man and embraced him. “Don't’ worry about it. I’m not sure she saw anything. Even if she did, she was going to find out sooner or later.” Then he gently kissed Theo. “Thank you for caring about me, for wanting to comfort me.”

“But Drake, what if…”

“Stop. We are not going to worry about what she may or may not have seen. I had a wonderful weekend and now I would like to grab something to eat. Check in on mother and then head to bed. Would you like to join me or are you going to sit down here all night and fret over our witch?”
