Jaxson
Theo felt the witch get up three times during the night. She left the room only to return a few minutes later. She was checking on Jaxson. Each time she had left grey eyes met his.
As they dressed the next morning, Hermione asked Theo several times, “Are you sure it’s okay that Jaxson hang out with you today? I could maybe take him to the preserve with me.”
As Theo buttoned his shirt, “Kitten, Jaxson and I will be fine. I have a couple brews to check on, then I’m free. I thought I would take him out to the stables and the lake.”
Draco came out of the closet. “I have a meeting this morning but I thought we could take him flying after lunch.”
Hermione jumped quickly and turned to him. “Oh I don’t know. He is kind of young to be flying. I’m not sure that is a good idea.”
Theo laughed, “Hermione he is old enough to be on a broom with one of us. Hell he should have already been flying on a training room. Every witch and wizard starts on a two foot broom.”
She looked confused, “What is a two foot broom?”
Draco laughed and pulled her into his arms. “It’s a training broom. Little ones learn to hover and maneuver on it. The broom only lifts off the ground two feet.”
Theo pulled her away from Draco and hugged her, “Hmmmm. Maybe we should get you one. Then we could teach you how to fly.”
Laughing and shoving him back, “I’m good. I don’t need a training broom. Thank you though.”
He swatted her bum, “Yes you do. You need to get that lovely bum on a broom. Our witch can’t be afraid of flying.”
Her bum safely turned away from Theo, was fair game for Draco. He swatted her next. “Yes witch, your wizards love to fly and think about or kids.”
Grabbing her backside she backed up against the wall. “What about our kids?”
Don’t you think they would want their mum to be flying around with them?” Theo answered.
Both men crowded her against the wall. Draco collard her neck with his hand rubbing his nose just under her jawline. Theo’s hands grabbed hold of her waist and he pushed his hips against her. She let out a little whimper.
Draco whispered in her ear. “Theo and I know how to maneuver two brooms to hold you up in the air while we eat that delicious pussy.”
Theo chuckled, We even know a way to maneuver two brooms so we can both fuck you at the same time.” He pushed his thigh against her center.
Sparks shot through her core. Her body reacting to its need for them, she pushed her mound against him. Her words in direct contradiction to what her body wanted. “We don’t have time for this.”
Draco was sucking and biting her shoulder, his deep voice ordered her, “Ride his leg Hermione. Use him to come baby. Soak your pretty knickers for us.”
Theo’s hands moved to her breasts. He kneaded them, pinching her nipples through her clothes. “Come on baby. Show me the face you make just for us.”
Her hips were moving, the fabric of her knickers felt delicious against her clit. Draco’s grip on her throat tightened and Theo’s hands both teased and tortured her tits. They were saying the filthiest things to her.
“Your cunt tastes like fucking heaven.”
“I want to bury my fingers so deep in you and feel your honey flow over them. Then lick them clean.”
“Such a good girl, slide that little pussy until you soak your panties.”
“I’m going to fuck you so hard tonight, you are going to lose count of how many times you come.”
Their words and her need had her crying out her release. Both of her tiny hands fisted in their dress shirts. Gripping them so tight her knuckles were white. Theo captured her lips, When he pulled away, “You shatter so beautifully for us.”
Draco kissed her next. “Such a good naughty girl.”
Hermione’s head fell against Draco’s shoulder. She was panting hard. Theo’s knee was still between her legs, her hips still rocking against him. “Hmmm. Dear gods,” Her hands released their shirts and drifted down their chests. Just before she reached their pants. Both wizards grabbed her hands.
Draco kissed her palm. “No Sweetheart. Not now.”
Theo held her hand over his heart and was shaking his head.
Brown eyes searched grey then blue. Her gaze slid down, looking at the obvious bulges in their pants. “But you are so…”
Theo kissed her cheek. “Yes we are. But we will wait for tonight. This,” He pushed his thigh against her center, causing the lace on her knickers to rub against her clit, shooting sparks through her. A gasp caught in her throat. Which caused Theo to moan in the back of his throat. “This was just for you.” He and Draco stepped away, physically adjusting themselves.
Draco put his hand out, “Come, let’s go collect the little wizard wolf and head to breakfast.”
Hermione shook her head, “I need a minute. I have to change my knickers.” Smiling at them, “Some naughty wizards made me soak them.”
Theo couldn’t contain his laughter, “Well I think you should give your wet knickers to the wizard whose knee you road like a dirty little girl.” He licked his lips, “I think he earned those knickers. Don’t you?”
Draco nodded his head, “Yes, I think he showed great restraint.” He turned to her, “Take off your knickers Pet and give them Theo.”
She tried to act scandalized that Theo wanted her panties, but she wound up just looking resigned. As she reach up under her skirt to remove the wet satin and lace material she just shook her head, “You know I need to take another trip to Wicked Intimates.”
Draco smirked at her, “Oh Pet, I would gladly give you all the gold in my vaults to spend on pretty little underthings that the wizard and I could soak and steal from you.”
Theo took the satin and lace panties from her and, as she knew he would, he raised it to his nose and inhaled. “Sweet Circe.” He went to his knees in front of her and began lifting her skirt. “One taste. One fucking taste and I promise I will behave until tonight.”
Hermione tried to bat him away, “Theo we don’t have time.”
Undeterred, “We would have time if you would stop arguing with me.” He cast a quick binding spell and her hands were joined at the wrists and extended over her head. “Now hush witch. This will only take a moment.”
Hermione looked to her other wizard, “Could you please help me…” her head fell back against the wall.
Draco was shaking his head. “I’m sorry love. I’m not coming between that wizard and your pussy. Best to just let him finish.”
Her voice hoarse, “Draco please.”
Theo growled from under her skirts. “Wrong name Kitten.” A wet smack sounded.
“Owe Theo.”
His mouth obviously full of the witch he mumbled. “That’s more like it.”
Draco sat on the edge of the bed and watched the two. Then flicking his wrist her skirts lifted and he had a view of the back of Theo’s head with one of Hermione’s legs over his shoulder. Their witch was balancing on one leg and thrusting her hips forward onto Theo’s face. Draco listened to their needy wanton noises. She was close. Just then he watched as Theo brought his hand up and began fucking her with two fingers. “Come on Pet. Give Theo your honey. You know how much he love your taste.”
Theo felt her walls tighten around his fingers. He held his fingers deep and stroked her velvety walls. Pulling away, using his other hand he began flicking her clit with the tip of his finger and the witch screamed out her release. “That’s it Kitten, give me all of your fucking honey.”
“Fuck. Fuck. Theo oh gods. Theo.” She panted.
He removed his fingers and held her in place. Licking and sucking her down from her orgasm.
Draco watched as Theo stood, righted her skirts and released her arms. He pulled her to him and gently rubbed her shoulders. God he was an attentive lover. He watched as Hermione wrapped her arms around him and they gently kissed. She whispered something to him, that caused the wizard to nod his head. Theo turned to Draco, their love had watched the entire scene. He had not joined them, only watched. He walked over to the blond and bent to kiss him. “Want to taste our girl.” Then he captured Draco’s lips in a bruising, owning kiss.
When Theo kissed him and drove his tongue into his mouth, Draco tasted their witch, but he also tasted toffee. “Hmmm. I taste my good boy and my good girl.” He continued to kiss Theo until Hermione had a new pair of knickers on. Wrapping his arms around each of them. “Come let’s go wake our little guest.”
Hermione hurried across the hall to her rooms. She rushed through the sitting room, but stopped just in the doorway of the bedroom. “Where is he?”
Draco caught up to her, “Hmm. Mopsy must have taken him down to breakfast.”
Down in the small dining room the trio heard Jaxson laughing, they also heard Narcissa. Just as the three of them entered they stopped and watched the scene before them. Narcissa and Jaxson were sitting on the floor with a transfigured tea table between them. Theo looked to Draco who smiled. “Were we not invited to the tea party Mother?”
Narcissa smiled up at them. “Well of course my loves are invited, but we were not going to wait all morning. Jaxson was getting hungry. We can’t have a hungry little wolf just running around the manor.”
Jaxson smiled, his face covered with white dusting sugar. He jumped up and ran over to Hermione. When she bent down, he wrapped his little arms around her neck. Theo noted she now had dusting sugar in her hair. “Hermione. Hermione. Cissy said I could have all the sweets I want this morning. She said I didn’t have to eat porridge. They make me eat porridge every day at the children’s home. We are never allowed to have sweets.” He grabbed her hand and started pulling her to the table.
Hermione noted that Mopsy was standing off to the side, her little arms crossed and she was mumbling. “Porridge every day. That’s just wrong. Bet they not even have good flavor or fruit or sugars. Poor little wizard wolf.” Baring her little teeth the elf growled.
Draco wrapped his arm around Theo. “Come on mate, we get sweets this morning.
Theo gave him a wicked grin, “Don’t you mean we get ‘MORE’ sweets.” Then he jumped, “Owe” he looked at Draco.
“Not me. I didn’t hex you.” Hermione looked over her shoulder and smirked. “I did.”
“Witch, that hurt. You need to work on your aim you almost got my bollo…” He jumped “Owe.”
Draco laughed, “That one was me. Language mate.”
Hermione laughed as she sat next to Narcissa. “So what are we having?”
The older witch smiled, “Well imagine my surprise when I woke up and ran into this little man. He was walking around the library asking Mopsy all about the children’s books.”
Hermione turned to Jaxson, “Did you use your manners when you met Mrs. Malfoy?”
The little boy looked confused, “Who is Mrs. Malfoy?”
Narcissa answered, “Well I am Jaxson. But I told you to call me Cissy.”
He turned to Hermione, seeking permission, “Is that okay?”
She chucked her finger under the little boys chin. “That’s fine. She gave you permission to call her Cissy.”
He finished his glass of pumpkin juice and said, “Cissy read me three books. She said that there were more children’s books. The pictures move around.”
Hermione was confused, “Jaxson do they not have books at the orphanage?”
“No. Sometimes one of the nice helpers will tell us stories, but no. No books.”
Draco nodded his head, “Well I will make some calls this morning and see if we can’t change that. Mr. Readington is about to get a very large order.”
Theo kissed him on the cheek and so did Hermione. Narcissa beamed proudly at her son.
Draco smiled at the little boy as he and Theo continued to load up their plates with at least one of every pastry. “Cissy is my mum. When we were little, she would let us have sweets for breakfast.”
Theo added, “She is also kind of my mum too.” Seeing the little boys confusion he pushed on. “When I was really young my mommy died. So Cissy is my godmother. She kind of became my mum.”
Jaxson chewed an orange cranberry cookie and nodded his head. “I might get a new mum. Mine didn’t die but she said she couldn’t be my mum because I am a wolf now.”
Everyone grew silent. Hermione felt her eyes fill with tears. Narcissa’s mouth fell into a frown. Draco and Theo both looked angry. But little Jaxson just kept chewing his cookie as if what he said was just the way life was. Then he smiled up at Narcissa, “Can I have more pumpkin juice?’
“Of course dear” and as she refilled the little wizards cup, she noticed Hermione wiping tears from her cheeks.
As if he just noticed the amount of food on the two men’s plates, Jaxson commented. “Wow that’s a lot of food. I would get a belly ache if I ate all of that.”
Draco laughed, “Oh I’m pretty sure I will get a belly ache too. But it will be worth it.”
Theo laughed. “Like Dra said, Mum would have these types of breakfasts or special teas or sneaky picnics with us when we were about your age. Sometimes we would eat so much the medi-witch would give us a potion and say, ‘Maybe next time you’ll stop when your full.’ Guess what?”
Draco and Theo spoke at the same time. “We never did.”
Draco added, “We got sick every single time. But it was always worth it. The three of us spending time together and eating such delicious treats.”
Hermione did cut Jaxson off when he had finished his fourth pastry. She made him eat some fruit, he chose a banana. Mopsy, who had been popping in and out of the room asked, “Does Miss want Mopsy to take little Master now?” Smiling, her hands clapsed in front of her, “Hippy and Jack want to see Mopsy’s little wizard wolf.”
Hermione looked to Draco, Theo and Narcissa. “Maybe I should just send an owl to Ginny to see if she could help at the preserve and I’ll just stay here today.”
Narcissa put her arm though Hermione’s, “Nonsense. You have commitments. We will make sure little Jaxson is cared for.”
Mopsy began tapping her foot. Clearly agitated. “Does Miss not know Mopsy took care of all the wizards and witches in this manor. Mopsy can handle a wizard wolf.”
Theo said, “Love I told you last night, I have a few things to check on then he and I are going to explore the grounds.”
Draco jumped into the conversation. “After my morning meetings, I planned on hanging out with them and maybe ‘F-L-Y-I-N-G’ he spelled.”
Jaxson looked up at Draco. “You spelled a word so I don’t know what you said.” Everyone laughed.
Draco nodded his head, “Yes. little man I did.”
Hermione looked at the four of them, “If you are all sure. I will be done at the preserve early and come here to pick…”
Theo cut her off, “Stay as long as you need to. We will bring Jaxson with us. Dra and I are helping distribute before the lock down. Then we are supposed to go to the Tipsy Wizard with everyone.”
Biting her lip she nodded her head. “If you’re sure?”
Mopsy took that as permission to take Jaxson’s hand and pop out of the room.
Draco took her hand and walked her to the gates. “We are sure Pet.” He kissed her softly and whispered in her ear. “Be a Good Girl today. Take care of the dragon eggs and we will take care of the little wolf.”
She apparated to the preserve.
_______________
Theo took care of the three potions he had brewing. Two of them were complete. He packaged one and sent it to the magical creatures’ healer. Blood replenishing for creatures was different than for humans. The potion needed to adapt to the species it was healing. It was a complicated brew to make and like everything for creatures, was very time consuming. And of course expensive. Since he was a little boy both he and Dra wanted to be animal healers like their favorite character, Edwin Wildman. So Theo took every opportunity to brew and help the creature healers.
The last brew wouldn’t be ready for a few day. He added the needed ingredients and left his lab. Stopping in Draco’s study he saw several packages on the table by the window. Nodding to Snape’s portrait he went to the wizard behind the desk. “What are the packages?”
Draco smiled. “Well I ordered a training broom for Jaxson. Then mum and I talked about maybe needing some toys.”
Theo worried his lip. “Dra where are we going with this little boy.” The other man looked at him questioningly. So he went on, “I mean, is he a permanent house guest? Is he a full moon house guest?”
Draco shook his head, “I don’t know.” Walking over to pour them each a firewhiskey. As he handed Theo his. “I honestly don’t know. That little boy looks at Hermione like she hung the moon. And she, well she was ready to curse anyone that was going to stand in the way of him getting the wolfsbane yesterday.”
“I know, my fucking heart. Her hair was sparking, the crack of apparition had me worried that she fucking splinched herself. Then I got to the orphanage and that Jennara bitch was crying.”
Draco sat in his chair shaking his head. “When Dam said to get to the ministry and he told me to bring gold for bail, I thought that fucker Weasley had done something to one of you and that you or she had…” Not wanting to finish where his thought had gone. His mind had instantly gone to what Theo had told him about how Weasley had attacked them in Hogsmeade. The fucker was lucky that Hermione was able to calm Theo down. He was also grateful that she was a sound sleeper, because he is shit at remembering to cast silencing charms when he is emotional. After he had heard what happened he went to the little grove on the property. When he had finished working out his anger, they had at least five less trees. Hippy and Jack have already replanted saplings.
They were both quiet for a while. The silence was broken when Theo laughed. “You know Baby, she is the only witch that could go to the ministry to rip the Minister apart about a little werewolf, and a corrupt system and wind up flushing out a death eater want to be.”
Draco laughed too. “I know. I don’t know if she’s that lucky or if this shit just follows her around.”
“But seriously Dra what are we doing with Jaxson? I’m only asking because, she is really getting attached.”
Grey eyes looked into blue, “She is. Mum is. The bloody elves are. Hippy and Jack had him planting roses by the terrace. Mopsy and Tipsy are doting on him. I’ve ordered him toys and a training broom. I told myself it’s for ‘when he is visiting’.”
Theo nodded, “Well I also ordered him a potions training case. ‘For when he is visiting’.” Theo stood, “I’m done for the day. How long before you are?”
“Give me another two hours. I’ll meet you both by the lake.” He cuffed Theo around the neck, “Don’t look so worried. If Jaxson is meant to be a part of our lives, it will all work out. I believe fate will work her magic.” He kissed him. “Now go find the little wizard wolf and show him the stables.”
Theo found Jaxson in the library with Narcissa. He stood in the doorway watching as his mum read to the little boy on her lap. Memories flashed of he and Dra sitting on the floor while she read to them. He loved how she used her magic to let the story play out in the air like a play. He loved her, she was going to be such a wonderful grandmother.
Mum saw him and smiled. “Have you come to steel my little friend away?”
“Yes, but go ahead and finish the story. I love this one.”
As she began reading again, the unicorn from the story began galloping over a rainbow in front of the little boy.
“…JuJu, the little lost unicorn followed the rainbow back to the enchanted forest. He found the most delicious apple tree and began eating from it. As he finished his third apple he heard voices. Following them to a glittery pond. There were other unicorns there. He looked around but didn’t see his mother or his father. Tears burned behind his eyes. He was still lost.
A very deep voice sounded behind him. “Well little prince I see you have finally found your way home. Did you have an adventure?”
JuJu turned to see his father, the king of the unicorns. He was the most magnificent unicorn, so tall and his coat was so black it shined. His father was the bravest and strongest unicorn in all the lands. He turned and rushed to him, the king lowered his head, JuJu began rubbing his face against his father’s neck. “Daddy. I’m sorry I ran away. I was so scared, I couldn’t find you or mommy. I couldn’t find the rainbow to bring me home.”
His father chuckled, “I know JuJu. I watched you through the magical waters. I watched your whole adventure.” “Why didn’t you come for me?” “Hmm. Well you see little one, every little prince needs to have an adventure that challenges them. He needs to get into trouble and make mistakes and learn from them.”
“But what if I needed you?” “Well then I would have been there to help you.” JuJu’s father smiled at him. “Let’s go home, your mummy will be so happy her prince is back.”
Jaxson watched as the two unicorns walked off into a sunset. Narcissa closed the book and smiled at him. “Did you like that one?”
“Oh yes. I loved the adventure the little prince had. I was scared though when he couldn’t find the rainbow. I didn’t know if he was going to make it home.” He thought for a moment. “I was scared first when I went to live with the other children. Mary told me that she would be my friend.”
Narcissa smiled at him. “Well I’m glad you and Mary are friends. Is she a little girl at the home?”
“Yes.” Jaxson shrugs his little shoulders, “Mary got a new family, so I don’t see her anymore. I miss her.” Climbed off of Narcissa’s lap he walked to Theo and smiled up at him. “Hermione said she is my friend and she said that you all are my friends now.”
Theo instinctually picked him up, “Yes we are little wolf. Is that okay? Do you want to be our friend?”
Jaxson smiled and nodded his head enthusiastically. “Oh yes. It’s so much fun having friends.”
Narcissa rose from her chair. “Well what are you to boys doing today?”
“I thought I would take Jaxson around the grounds and then maybe the stables.” Theo pronounced.
“Theo, what are stables?” The little boy asked.
“Oh, It’s a surprise. But, you’re going to like the stables. They are Hermione’s favorite.” Then thinking about it, “She likes the pond too.”
The little boys eyes sparkled, “Pond? You have a pond? Can we play in it? Can I go swimming? Are there fish in it? Can we go fishing?”
Theo and Narcissa both laughed. The wizard put a finger up to hush the little boy. “Yes we have a pond, although some would say it is a small lake. We can play in it and swim if you want. Yes there are fish in it and we can go fishing. I’m not sure we will have time to do everything you want to do before dinner and the sanctuary.”
Jaxson started wiggling in Theo’s arms. “Well come on Theo let’s go.” Theo put him down and the little boy grabbed his hand and started tugging him toward the door. “Thank you ‘Auntie Cissy’ I had fun reading books with you. Theo come on we have to go.”
Theo bent and kissed Narcissa on the cheek. Jaxson saw this and ran back to the witch and threw his arms around her. “I will see you later.” Grabbing Theo again, “Theeeeooooo.”
The two adults laughed. Narcissa whispered. “Good luck.” She watched as the little boy dragged the wizard out of the library.

Draco was just finishing signing parchments when his floo flared to life. It was Hermione. “Hello Beautiful. How is your day going?”
“Fine. I was just taking a lunch break. How is Jaxson?”
“I think he is fine. He is with Theo. The last report I received from Mopsy they were swimming in the pond.”
“Lake. Draco. That is a small lake. Is he okay? I don’t know if he knows how to swim.” Worry laced her voice.
“Sweetheart, he is fine. Theo took him to the stables, he lost his shit over the horses and then he lost his shit even more over the flying stallions.” She smiled at him. “Then he took him to the pond and they are swimming and waiting for me and lunch.”
Just then Mopsy popped into the room with a picnic basket. “Here is lunch for your picnic Master.”
Hermione heard the little elf, “Mopsy have you checked on Theo and Jaxson. Are they okay? Does he know how to swim?”
Mopsy crossed her little arms and tapped her foot. “Master Theo is playing in the water with the little wolf. They are swimming and splashing.”
Hermione cut her off, “But I’m worried that Jaxson may not know how to swim.”
Mopsy sighed, “Master Theo made sure little wolf knew how to swim but he also cast a floating charm on him so that he will not drowned.” She turned to Draco. “Tipsy put lunch in the basket. There is many many sandwiches, and Miss said that he must have fruits and vegetables. When enough of the fruits and vegetables are gone the gold plate will have desserts.”
Draco laughed, “What if Theo and I eat all the vegetables and Jaxson eats none?”
Mopsy uncrossed her arms and glared at Draco, “The Masters will be in trouble with Mopsy and Miss.” She pointed to the floo, Hermione wore the same agitated expression as the elf.
Raising his hands in surrender, “I was just kidding.” The little elf raised her eyebrow and then popped out. Turning back to the floo, “You know you females are all a little scary.”
She nodded her head, “That’s fair.”
“Well I had better be going. I’m sure Jaxson has probably thoroughly worn Theo out. We will see you at the sanctuary. I’ll make sure Jaxson eats something before we leave.”
She smiled at him, “Thank you. See you later. Love you.”
The rest of the afternoon was spent playing in the water, fishing, and finally after casting a sticking charm to his little bum the two wizards took Jaxson on their brooms. Theo flew over the orchards, “Are you having fun Jaxson?”
“Oh yes.” The little boy was giggling at the up and down motion. “That tickles my tummy Theo. Do it again pleeeease.”
Theo obliged the little wizard’s request, several more times. Draco flew next to them, “Jaxson would you like to fly with Draco for a while. He was a seeker on a quiditch team.”
When he nodded enthusiastically, Draco reached a hand out and plucked the little boy from Theo’s broom. After casting the sticking charm he raced off. Jaxson’s squeals of delight could be heard all the way to the terrace where Narcissa was watching.
Jaxson said his goobyes to Narcissa, Mopsy, Tipsy, Hippy and Jack. Theo and Draco made sure he used his manners and thanked them all. The three then apparated to the sanctuary.
They met Hermione at the check in table. Jaxson ran right up to her and hugged her. “Hermione. Hermione.”
“Hey there handsome. How was your day?” She wrapped him into her arms. Hugging him tightly. “Did you have fun with Theo and Draco?”
“Yes. We had so much fun. Theo showed me horses and then giant horses with wings. They fly. I didn’t see them fly but Theo said they can. He said I can come back someday and see it. Maybe even ride one.” She looked up into blue eyes and smiled.
“Then we had a picnic and we all went swimming and fishing. Draco used magic and made me a float bubble. He made a bubble of air and I floated around.” She searched out grey eyes and bit back her laugh at the little boys excited recounting of Draco and Theo pushing him around in a bubble.
“Theo helped me catch a ginormous fish.” Theo held his hands about eight inches apart. “I got to go flying with them on their brooms. My tummy tickled and Draco let my feet drag in the water while we went really really fast.” When she looked to the two this time they both were looking anywhere but at her.
She hugged the little boy to her, “I’m so glad you had a good day.”
A line started forming for witches and wizards to receive the wolfsbane potion. Hermione told Jaxson to sit in the chair between Dam and her. “You’ll get your potion last and go into the sanctuary with Mr. Bill. Until then you can help me by taking the potion vials from each person I check off.”
For the next thirty minutes a steady stream of people came through the line. After their identity was confirmed, and it was verified that they had already received consecutive doses, they were given a vial of wolfsbane potion. Hermione watched them consume it. Jaxson took the empty vial and they were admitted into the sanctuary.
When the line slowed down, Hermione noticed Dam talking to the little boy. He was asking him about his day at the manor. Her friend was smiling when he asked, “You really floated around in a bubble?”
Jaxson enthusiastically nodded his head and added, “Yep. Then I caught a fish that was ginormous. Theo took it off the hook for me?”
Dam reacted appropriately surprised. “Well did you make Tipsy cook it up?”
Jaxson wrinkled his nose, “No. We threw it back into the water. He wanted to swim not be eaten.” Her attention was pulled back to the people coming through the line. But Dam and the little boy continued to chat.
When the time came to lock down the sanctuary, Jaxson took his potion and Bill took his hand. Right before they walked through the gates, the little boy pulled his hand from Bill’s and ran back to Hermione. As she knelt down he threw his arms around her neck. “Thank you again for letting me play with Draco and Theo today. I had fun with Mopsy at my sleepover.” Then he kissed her cheek and turned to run back to Bill.
Draco and Theo were at her side. The witch’s eyes were glazed with tears. Neither wizard said anything to her. They just hugged her. Theo broke the silence, “Thank you for letting Draco and I play with Jaxson today. We had a great day.” He then kissed her forehead.
After everything was cleaned up, they agreed to meet at the Tipsy Wizard. Ginny was staying with Fleur tonight, since Bill was in the sanctuary. Neville, Justine and Luna, were heading to the pub with Hermione, Draco and Theo. Harry, George and Angelia were meeting them there. As they headed to the apparation point Theo noticed Dam wasn’t joining them. “Dam, are you coming to the pub?”
The older man smiled and waved his hand, “I don’t think so. Not this time. I am joining Cissy and Dromeda for dinner. Tulip took Teddy to Bill’s for a sleep over.” He smiled a Slytherin smile. Theo nodded his head in understanding, “Have fun. See you Saturday.”
When they appeared in the ally by the pub, Hermione turned to Draco, “Does it bother you that Dam is involved with your mum and your aunt?”
He thought about it for a second then shrugged, “No. He is a good guy. Talented wizard, master potioneer. He has his own wealth. He seems to care about them. Most importantly my mum and aunt seem really really happy now. They all laugh, joke and bring happiness to my mother’s life. She isn’t an old witch, she should be having fun, All sorts of fun. I think between the potion he and Theo created along with our triad magic mum is doing so much better. She hasn’t had an episode in so long. Mopsy reports her eating is good. Her hand tremors are almost non existent.”
Theo added, “Not to mention she looks younger. Her relationship with Dam and Dromeda has giving mum back some of her vibrancy.” Then in true Theo fashion, “Plus fucking on a more regular basis makes everyone happier.”
To her astonishment, Draco just nodded his agreement, “I know I’m happier after we all fuck.”
As they entered the pub, Hermione shook her head, “Snakes. No shame.”
Charlie sent a message that he wasn’t going to be able to join them he was sleeping in the nest tonight and was tending to the eggs. The group in the Tipsy Wizard was loud and rowdy. Hermione noted that the werewolves weren’t the only ones affected by the full moon. About a half hour into pub night, Theo noticed her quiet demeanor. “You’re tired Love. Do you want to leave?”
“I don’t know maybe I’ll head home. You and Draco should stay. I don’t want you to cut your night short. Stay and play darts and drink.”
Theo began to protest, when Draco came over and put his arm around the wizard’s shoulder. “Theo, Potter and Longbottom have challenged us to a darts tournament.” Making to pull Theo away, he noted that the wizard would not budge. “What’s wrong?”
“Hermione want’s to go home.” He states.
Before he can go on she jumped in, “I said you and Draco should stay. I’m going to head home.”
Draco now had an argumentative look. “We’ll go with you.”
She crossed her arms and looked defiant. “No. You. Will. Not. I am more than capable of going home, showering and putting myself to bed. It’s early, you two stay and have a good time.” Noticing they didn’t seem to agree with her plans, she added. “I am tired, I just want to go to sleep and it will make me very sad to know that you cut a night of fun short, just to come home and what… Stare at me sleeping? …Hang out in the game room playing magical darts there instead of here? Please stay and have fun. It will mean so much to me that you are making friends.”
Draco was the one to give in first. Tightening his grip on Theo, “Okay Sweetheart. If that’s really what you want.” Feeling the other man tense up he added. “We will stay and play a few rounds with your friends.”
She smiled at them. Noting that Theo never did actually agree to this arrangement. “Thank you. It means so much to me that you are becoming friends with my friends.” At her words she saw the raven haired man’s shoulders drop and heard him sigh.
