Healing, Hugs, and Hunts

Harry and Donovan

The next morning Harry woke up slowly and stretched. He grinned when he felt the small soreness that came with a good night. He turned over and borrowed himself closer to the body in the bed with him. Donovan wrapped his arms tightly around him and he smiled and pressed a kiss to the Joker's cheek.

"Good Morning, Submissive Mine," Donovan stated in a deep sleepy voice. Harry loved the sound of it.

"Morning, My Joker," Harry purred up at him. Donovan flipped them so that Harry was on his back with Donovan hovering over him. "Oh, playtime before breakfast? I am always up for that."

"It's like you read my mind," The Joker stated with a smirk. Harry reached up and twined his arms around Donovan's neck and pulled him down to bring their lips together. Donovan didn't pull away until Harry was breathless and flushed. Then Donovan proceeded to slowly and deliberately drive Harry mad with need. He teased Harry and edged him over and over again until Harry was begging for release. Finally, the Joker gave in and Harry was certain it was the most intense orgasm he had ever had. Donovan was quite smug and preened when Harry told him exactly that when he finally came down from his high.

Luckily, by the time they made it to the dining room, everyone was just sitting down to eat. Donovan sat down next to Wikhn and winked at him as he started on his breakfast. Wikhn just rolled his eyes and continued eating. Harry smiled and laughed when he was pulled down into Aither's lap. His Air Princess was quite happy to fill his plate with twice as much food. Harry reached for a fork when it was handed to him but the Gheyo just plucked it out of his hands and proceeded to hand-feed Harry.

"Oh, that's nice," Harry murmured and got more comfortable in Aither's lap and allowed the Princess to feed him while he listened to the happy chatter around him. Harry smiled up at Theo when he pressed a kiss to his head as he was about to leave the dining room.

"What time are we supposed to leave for the beach today?" Harry asked his Beta.

"In about two hours. Did you hear back from your parents yesterday to see if they are coming as well? Bahn will want to know so that he can make sure there is enough food for everyone," Theo asked Harry. The Submissive smiled.

"I actually have no idea if they replied," Harry told his Beta. Theo just smiled and ruffled his hair.

"They responded. They are happy to join us for an afternoon of fun on the beach. We just need to let them know when and where to meet us," Bill said from where he was still sitting at the table eating. "The message was waiting for me when I popped into the office on the way to breakfast."

"Perfect, I will send a message back and let them know when and where while you lot finish breakfast," Theo said. "By the way, you look lovely this morning, Princess." Theo pressed another kiss to Harry's head and Harry blushed so prettily that multiple of his bonded cooed at him. Which just made it worse. Harry watched Theo leave the room and then turned back to breakfast when Aither kissed his cheek and offered him another bite of eggs.

Harry smiled at his Alpha, who winked at him. He knew that Sunday had worried his bonded and that Bill had talked to all of them about his issues with food. Every meal since then he had been pampered and fussed over but in the nicest ways. This was not the first meal since then that he had spent in one of his bonded's lap being fed. He didn't mind at all and truly appreciated the effort that all of them were putting into taking care of him.

"Harry," Donovan came up to him after eating. Harry smiled up at his very lovely Joker. "I have to make arrangements at work, see if someone else can cover for me. It is too busy right now to close shop. I will be back thirty minutes before time to leave if I am able to make it." Harry stood up and pressed himself against the Joker.

"I understand, Donovan. I know that you have a job and a life before me. I don't expect you to rearrange everything for me. Are you planning on leaving now?" Harry asked. Donovan smiled down at him and pulled him closer.

"I am leaving now so that I can open shop and work on calling someone in. I have plenty of people that can run the shop today. Finding a bonded, especially a soul-bonded is something special someone will cover for me. I will see you in a bit, Darling," Donovan told his little Submissive. He pressed a kiss to Harry's waiting lips and was surprised when Theo handed him a piece of folded paper.

" I overheard the conversation. This is the address of where we are going. If you use these coordinates it will bring you right to the beach that we will be on. Just in case you can not get away before we leave," Theo told the Joker. Harry grinned at his Beta as Donovan took the paper with a smile and tucked it into his pocket.

"Thank you, Beta," Donovan said and then turned and pressed another kiss to Harry's smiling lips. Then he strode off toward the transportation room. Ethan hurried off after him after pressing a light kiss to Harry's lips when he walked passed.

"Donovan, may I?" Ethan asked as he caught up. Donovan just nodded. "I just wanted to talk to you about helping you whenever you decided to move in..." the Pareya's voice trailed off as they turned the corner. Still smiling, Harry turned toward his Beta and hummed happily as he wrapped his arms around him.

"Thank you, Theo," Harry said and accepted the kiss that was placed on his lips.

"No need to thank me, Princess. Donovan is yours and important to you, that means that he is important to us as well," Theo told him. Harry smiled again and snuggled closer to his Beta. "Did you get enough to eat?" Theo asked Harry gently.

"Yeah, Aither made sure that I ate plenty. I am actually feeling quite restless," Harry told his Beta as they headed out of the dining room.

"You could always come with some of us to the training field for a bit, might work off a bit of that restlessness," Kisten offered. Harry brightened up.

"That sounds great," Harry said. He pressed a quick kiss to Theo's cheek and bounced over to Kisten who grabbed him and threw him over his shoulder causing Harry to squeal and laugh. They were followed out of the room by a few of the other Gheyo. Harry laughed to whole way even when Kisten swatted him on his rear and told him to stop squirming before he dropped him.

"There now let's play for a bit," Kisten said as he placed a still-laughing Harry on his feet outside. They had been followed by Hadrian's entire suit plus Charlie. Harry was super excited to spend time learning to fight with his Gheyo. They had been teaching him the basics of fighting with blades the past week and he really enjoyed it. He pulled out the blade that Wikhn had gifted him with a few days ago and flipped it in his hand. He got into the first position that he was instructed on and then the practice began.

~~~~~~~~

An hour and a half later Harry was happy and if possible humming with more energy than when he had gone outside. Charlie laughed at the way the Submissive was practically vibrating out of his skin. The workout had energized the little Ferros and he still had a lot of energy to work off. However, they needed to start getting ready to meet with Theo's family circle.

"Come on, Trouble let's go take a shower and maybe work off some of that energy before we get dressed," Charlie swung Harry up into his arms. Harry wrapped his arms around Charlie's neck and grinned he knew exactly what his Fire Joker had in mind to work off energy. "Why don't you pull on your link to our Rheyo and invite him along as well?" Charlie added. "Might need the extra help to tire you out." Harry blushed but tugged on his bond to Caelus.

They made it across the yard and into the house by the time that the Rheyo reached them.

"You wanted me?" He asked leaning down and nuzzling Harry's nose with his own. "I thought the Gheyo took you outside to work off that energy. Why does it look like it had the opposite effect?" Charlie grinned and leaned forward to kiss Caelus and Harry delighted in being pressed between the two large men and watching them kiss each other quite thoroughly.

"Our Submissive needs us to help him work off some of that energy. Wanna join us in the shower?" Charlie asked their Rheyo. Caelus smirked at the two of them.

"I definitely want to join. Lead the way, Dragon Tamer," Caelus said in a voice that sent a shiver down Harry's spine. Charlie grinned and then took off toward the shower with Caelus close on his heels. The three of them disappeared into the shower.

~~~~~~~~

"Hey, you three should come out of there before Ethan and Oliver come in there and get you," Bill called from the other side of the bathroom door. Harry laughed and turned off the water. He hopped out of the shower and grabbed a towel. The three of them had conveniently just finished a second round of fun in the shower and Harry was only barely worn out. Hopefully, a day out in the sun on the beach would help him work off some of that energy.

"Coming," Harry called and dashed out of the shower, under Bill's arm, and straight into the arms of his fussy Pareya. Oliver flicked a drying charm at him just as he threw himself into Ethan's arms. Harry giggled as Ethan pressed a kiss to his head and passed him to Oliver. "Hi Ollie," Harry said after he kissed his former Quidditch captain.

"Let's get you dressed, Little Seeker, while Ethan fusses over the other two," Oliver pulled swim trunks and a shirt out and helped him get dressed.

"Did Donovan make it back?" Harry asked once he was dressed and waiting for the other two to finish being fussed over. He had Bubble in his hand and he was gently petting the little pink snake. He had been leaving him at home a lot because he hadn't been going places he felt comfortable taking the little thing. Just like today. He knew there would be children and didn't want to risk an accident. Bill sat down next to him and pulled him into his lap.

"Not yet, Trouble," Bill said and placed a kiss on the side of his head. Harry tried not to show that he was just a bit upset about the fact that his Joker had not been able to make it. He truly did understand that he had other responsibilities he had just hoped that he would somehow manage to get off of work to make it out to be with them. Bill just held him tighter and tucked his head under his chin while they waited.

"Oh Draco wanted me to let you know that they headed out a little early they wanted to pick up a gift to take over to Juniper's house," Oliver told Harry as he sat down next to them.

"We should make sure that we do that too before we head over there tomorrow," Harry said absently.

"If I know your brother at all, he picked up something for you to take over there as well," Bill said with a chuckle. "He is much better at those things." Harry just chuckled with him.

"Yeah, you are right. He wouldn't trust me to pick up something appropriate," Harry said.

"All right, we are all ready to go and we will only be a little late. Harry, be a doll and tug on those bonds. Everyone should be ready now, they can meet us in the sitting room," Ethan said with a smile. Harry smiled back and tugged on all of his bonds except for Donovan's. He didn't want to distract his Joker if he was busy.

"Done, let's go," Harry said and wrapped his arms around Bill when he just stood with Harry still in his arms. They headed for the sitting room and met up with their other bonded.

"Everyone here and ready?" Bill asked. There were sounds of agreement from everyone so they made their way to the transportation room. Theo, Harry, Bill, Hadrian, and Riven went first so that they could be there to make sure that no one was attacked by Bahn's people. So Harry was standing happily and a bit nervously between Theo and Bill when they transported and stepped out onto a beautiful beach.

The first thing he noticed was a group of beautiful people. They were so lovely to watch. Most of them were tall, slender, white-haired, and dressed beautifully. Harry had a moment to look before he was pulled into the familiar arms of Ilsa. Harry smiled and hugged her back. Her hugs were just as comforting as the first time she had held him.

"Hi, Ilsa," Harry said with a happy sigh. She pulled away so she could get a good look at him. She seemed happy with what she saw.

"Hello, Loveling. You look happy and healthy. I hope your new circle is taking good care of you?" Ilsa said and looked up to stare at all of the ones that were currently ported in. Harry smiled and nodded.

"Of course, they are. They are taking wonderful care of me," Harry told her.

"That's good to hear, Loveling," Ilsa said and then a throat was cleared. Ilsa chuckled and turned with Harry so that his back was to her chest. He was turned toward a white-blonde dragel with pale skin, high-sloping cheekbones, and a kind smile. He was also very pregnant. "Harry, this is my Submissive, Bahn Deveraine. Bahn this is our Theo's Submissive, Harry."

The pregnant Submissive smiled brightly and strode forward and pulled Harry into a tight hug. Harry returned it. He was so grateful that so far everyone he had met here, other than that nose-dive Yanek, was so nice and friendly.

"It is so good to meet you Harry, we are going to be great friends," Bahn told him. Harry smiled and nodded.

"I would like that very much," Harry replied.

"Now, Theodore, introduce us to your new circle," Bahn said to Theo as he tucked Harry close to him. Harry figured he didn't plan on letting go of him anytime soon. He found he didn't really mind at all.

"Let's all get settled over on the blankets over here and get comfortable while we do that," Ilsa insisted. Bahn just shared an exasperated smile with Harry and led the way with Harry.

"Are yours as bossy as mine?" Bahn faux whispered to Harry. Harry smiled.

"Only a bit. But I get lots of cuddles and fussing when I do what they want. And I find that I just don't mind doing what they tell me to do as long as I get all of the affection that they smother me with," Harry told the other Submissive with a slight blush.

"He does love a good cuddle. The sweet Loveling is always cuddled into someone his circle is probably very happy with all the touch he enjoys," Isla offered. There was a lot of agreement noises from behind them. Bahn chuckled.

"Well, just so long as you also find ways to keep them on their toes. Don't let them fool you, you are the boss, not them," Bahn replied.

"Oh, keeping us on our toes is something we have all gotten used to. That little troublemaker is quite a handful. Never a dull moment with that one," Theo cut in. Harry blushed when Bahn looked down at him with a bigger smile.

"I don't see him causing any trouble, blushes too easy," Bahn teased. They had made it to the blankets and everyone settled down and the introductions were all made. When they were finished quite a few of them decided to play a game that looked to be a mixture of volleyball and football. Harry sat with Bahn and chatted with him. Even sat and cuddled a baby for a bit. He had never been around a baby before and had been really nervous at first when Bahn had handed him the sleeping babe. But the longer he sat and held him the more comfortable he was.

~~~~~~~~~

About an hour later, there was a feeling of magic in the air and Ilsa shouted that there was a portal incoming. Harry smiled as a few of the Pareya came to stand near them and then a few of the Gheyo stood facing where the portal was coming in.

"It is probably my family circle," Harry told them. "You should probably take him back. My dad, Sirius is a bit rambunctious." Bahn laughed and took the still-sleeping baby out of his arms. Harry stood up and moved up next to Mistral and leaned against him. The Pareya wrapped an arm around him and pressed a kiss to his head just as the portal opened up and his family was left standing there. He heard Hadrian inform the others that they were Harry's family and everyone relaxed. Harry saw that Laurent was with them and chirred happily. He hadn't seen his third since the first time.

"Go on, Princess," Mistral said with amusement. Harry grinned up at him and then took off running toward the group that made up his family. Laurent swept him up in his arms and held him tightly. Harry held him back just as tight and sighed into the embrace.

"All right, all right, quit hogging him. The rest of us missed him too," Sirius called out. Harry felt Laurent chuckle and then he was being turned and pulled into Sirius' embrace. "Hey, pup."

"Hey Siri," Harry replied and laughed when Remus just hugged them both tightly. "Hey, Mooney."

"Hey pup," The werewolf said.

"Now who is hogging Harry," called James. Harry laughed again and greeted the rest of his family circle including Neville and Luna, along with Ernie and Su, with hugs until he was happily tucked up close to Lucius. The two of them headed over to where Bahn was now standing waiting for them.

"My Ilsa was right, you are a cuddly thing aren't you?" Bahn said with a smile. Harry smiled and just let his Papa hold him tighter.

"Yes he is, and all of us love it quite a bit. He is the most affectionate of all of our children," Lucius replied with a smile. Harry was just as affectionate now as he was two years ago when they had first been united. Honestly, he hoped that Harry never grew out of it. Luna as their youngest was still affectionate but was like Draco. She would happily allow her parents to cuddle with her but there was a limit that she would take before she wanted a bit of space. Harry didn't seem to ever tire of being cuddled up close to someone.

"This is my family circle...." Harry introduced his family to the others and then was quite content to sit back down with Bahn. Luna and Lily sat down with them. Bahn handed the now cooing baby back to Harry who happily took him this time. Neville, Ernie, Sirius, Remus, Laurent, Alice, and James went with the others to go back to playing games. Lucius, Frank, and Xeno went to sit with Bahn's Alpha and a few others who were not playing. Narcissa, Su, and Severus joined the Pareya who were tending to children and preparing food.

Harry was quite happily playing with the baby in his arms while he talked with Bahn, Luna, and Lily about the hunt and their plans for walking. Not even thirty minutes later there was magic in the air once more that signaled an incoming portal. They were not expecting any more people to show up, so everyone was on guard. Harry gently and quickly handed the laughing baby to Bahn and stood up. Everyone seemed so tense and he didn't plan on doing anything stupid but he still had a bonded that hadn't shown up yet and he wasn't going to let anyone hurt his Joker because they assumed he was a threat.

Hadrian had been heading toward Harry when the magic shifted and he watched as his Submissive stood and tensed. He smiled as he recognized the fact that he was ready to move fast if he needed to. Hadrian prepared to intercept him just as Donovan stepped out of the portal and was surrounded by Bahn's Gheyo. Harry, just as Hadrian predicted, snarled and launched himself toward the group of Gheyo. Hadrian snatched him mid-run and pulled him close to his chest to keep him from making things worse. Hadrian then whistled loudly to get the attention of everyone present.

"I would sincerely appreciate it if you would all quickly back away from my Submissives new Joker. He is quite distressed," Hadrian called out. Everyone was instantly tuned in to the distressed and feral Submissive that was clawing and biting at the Shadow Ace. Everyone backed off and Donovan grinned and quickly made his way to the pair of them. He rumbled and happily accepted the Submissive who launched himself into his arms the moment that Hadrian released him. Harry sniffed him and buried his face in the neck of his Joker after making sure that he was not harmed.

Harry bit into Donovan's offered neck and purred contentedly wrapping arms and legs around the Joker. Everyone went back to what they were doing and Bill and Hadrian explained who Donovan was and let Harry's parents know that they had bonded the night before. Another soul-bond. Harry finally pulled away and licked his bite closed snuggling closer to Donovan.

"Hey there, Kitten. That was quite a welcome," Donovan stated. He pressed a kiss to Harry's lips when he pulled back and looked up at him. Harry smiled brightly.

"I missed you. I am glad that you made it," Harry said while pressing another kiss to Donovan's jaw. The Joker nuzzled him.

"I am sorry that it took so long to get here. The person who agreed to take over my shift had a scheduled fight and couldn't come until afterward," Donovan explained. Harry chirred and nuzzled the large Joker back.

"It's ok, My Joker. I understand," Harry replied. Finally, he relaxed his shoulders and exhaled finally completely calm.

"Better now? Ready to join the others? Your parents look like they are just waiting for permission to get close," Donovan teased. Harry pulled back and turned to where his parents were standing together at a safe distance. He trilled at them and Lucius, Lily, Laurent, and Sirius came toward them. Slowly at first until they were sure that Harry was completely calm and then with more confidence. Harry chirred at Donovan to set him on his feet and the Joker let him down gently. Lily fussed over him a bit and then stepped back when she knew he was fine. Lucius tucked her under his arm.

"Papa this is my Lovely Joker, Donovan. We discovered last night when he bonded that he is another of my soul bonded," Harry introduced his new Joker. "Donovan this is my Sire Lucius, My Bearer Lily, My Third Laurent, and this is my Dad Sirius he is their Princess." They exchanged greetings and made sure that Harry was completely settled and then they went back to doing what they had been doing before. Donovan had made a move to join the others but he noticed that Harry was very reluctant when he released him.

His submissive was going to let him join in on the games even though he still wanted him close. Donovan smiled and leaned down to kiss Harry and then grabbed his hand and indicated for him to lead the way back to the group of Submissives. Harry beamed up at him and happily headed back to the others. Donovan sat down in the open space next to the Deveraine Submissive and Harry happily settled between his spread legs.

"Well, introduce me," Bahn said with a smile. Harry smiled at the older Submissive.

"This is my Joker, Donovan. Donovan, this is Bahn Deveraine. Sorry about getting so worked up. I don't react well to my bonded being in danger," Harry said looking a bit guilty at the other Submissive. Bahn just patted his knee gently and then passed the baby back to him. Harry smiled brightly at the show of trust from the other Submissive. He was glad that he wasn't seen as a threat now that they knew he was a Ferros.

"There is nothing wrong with being a Ferros, Harry. The way you reacted was perfectly normal and nothing to be ashamed of," Bahn soothed him.

"He is right, Love. Following your instincts is never something to be ashamed of," Lily added. Harry nodded and leaned back into Donovan's chest while he rocked the baby who was quickly falling back asleep. Harry held tightly to the baby and listened to the sound of the others talking and playing around them.

He must have fallen asleep because the next thing he knew a tiny hand was fisted in his clothes and he smiled down and at the cooing baby. Harry smiled down at him and then looked back up at Bahn. The other Submissive smiled and reached for the baby.

"Arms sore?" He asked with a knowing look. Harry nodded and purred up at Donovan when he took hold of Harry's arms and gently began to massage feeling back into them.

"Lunch is ready," One of the Pareya called out to get the attention of the others. Harry moved to get up when Donovan pulled him back down. Harry looked up at the Joker and Donovan nodded his head in the direction of the tables. The Submissive looked over and saw Oliver heading their way with two plates.

"Hungry, Little Seeker?" He asked. Harry nodded with a smile. "Donovan?" The Joker also nodded.

"Thank you, Captain. I am starving," Harry said as Donovan reached up for both plates and handed one to Harry.

"Thank you," Donovan said. Oliver smiled and ruffled Harry's hair before heading back to the tables. Severus brought a plate of food for both Lily and Luna. He also ruffled Harry's hair before heading away again.

"Captain?" Donovan asked. Harry nodded.

"Yeah, Ollie was the captain of my quidditch team back in school," Harry explained.

"What is quidditch?" Bahn asked.

"Quidditch is a popular wizard sport. Played on flying brooms way up in the air...." James sat down next to them and started to explain. Sirius had also sat down with them and the two of them went back and forth explaining all about Quidditch.

"So you were a seeker?" James asked excitedly. "What year did you make the team?" Harry beamed at him.

"First year," Harry said with a voice full of pride. James looked at Sirius who nodded. Then he turned back to Harry with a grin.

"That isn't even allowed unless the rules changed. You can't join the house team until second year," James stated. Harry just shrugged trying to hide his smile.

"The rules didn't change. There was a situation that happened and McGonagall caught me flying. Instead of getting in trouble, she made an exception for me since she was the deputy headmistress. I was the youngest seeker in a century and the only time I didn't catch the snitch and win the game was in third year and it was because I was attacked by Dementors and fell off my broom," Harry told them. Lily made a sound of distress and James rumbled to soothe her.

"Why were there dementors at the school?" James asked. Sirius grimaced and looked guilty.

"That was the year that I escaped Azkaban. They were looking for me," Sirius stated. Harry chirred at him.

"What is a Dementor?" Donovan asked and Harry shuddered.

"They are creatures that literally feed on humans. They steal all of the happiness and joy out of a person and then they take your soul and leave you as nothing but an empty shell," Harry stated with as little emotion as possible.

"They are used to guard the prison," Sirius interjected. "I was exposed to them for over a decade and I have to tell you it is really bad for a person's mental health." James patted his knee and pressed a kiss to his cheek. Sirius smiled at him.

"Well, that sounds absolutely awful. Thank goodness that isn't a beast that you have to worry about here," Bahn stated with a shiver. "Earth sounds dreadful."

"It is dreadful. We are all very happy to be here," Lily stated. Then the conversations were steered back to more pleasant things. Finally, everyone finished eating and headed back to enjoy games on the beach.

"Come on, Trouble. Let's go play," Bill stated as he strode up to the group. He pulled Harry up and then tossed him laughing hysterically over his shoulder. "You too, Donovan." The Joker was up quickly and running after the two of them grinning. Harry was deposited on the sand and the rules were explained to him. He spent hours playing with the others. He also noticed that when he managed to get the ball he was always gently put on the ground as opposed to the way all of the others were slammed into the ground.

Finally, he called it quits. Bill moved to follow him off of their makeshift court and Harry waved him away with a smile. Just because he was ready to call it quits didn't mean that anyone else had to. He felt a cleaning charm wash over him and smiled gratefully at Ethan who was sitting with the other Pareya. Harry had a destination in mind. He headed straight for Lucius who was still very contentedly talking with a few others who hadn't joined in on the games.

"Papa?" Harry said quietly as he reached the group. Lucius looked up and smiled at his clearly exhausted son. He opened his arms and Harry chirred happily. He crawled into his Papa's lap and sighed when he felt the arms tighten around him. Lucius pressed a kiss to his head and then continued with his conversation as if nothing had happened. Harry was contentedly lulled into sleep by the soothing sound of the quiet talking.

The next time he became aware of the people around him he was being handed to one of his bonded. He was pretty sure it was Bill. He could barely open his eyes. He only ever felt like this when it was time for his Resting Period. But he was pretty sure that it wasn't time for that yet. Then he remembered that his resting cycle could change after bonding. He fell back asleep as he heard Bill call for everyone to circle up.

He woke again when he was gently placed into the middle of the bed in their resting room. He snuggled into the press of bodies around him and drifted off again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry woke up feeling really well-rested and stretched. He felt a hand card through his hair and a gentle kiss pressed to his cheek. He smiled and blinked open his eyes to see his Alpha hovering over him. He reached up with both arms and chirred happily when Bill gently extracted him from the bed where his Pareya were still sleeping. A few of his Gheyo were sitting in the room keeping guard and he was happy to let his Alpha carry him out of the room and down to the dining room.

"Aww, welcome back to the waking world, Princess," Theo stated and kissed him. Harry nuzzled his Beta and chirred at him. Bill sat down in a chair at the table and settled Harry in his lap.

"Some of us have eaten but the rest were waiting for you. Are you hungry, Trouble?" Bill asked. Harry nodded and buried his face in Bill's neck. He trilled quietly at Bill who chuckled. "Go ahead, Trouble. Take what you need." Harry licked a few times and then bit into his Alpha's neck. He licked the spot closed after a few minutes and stayed sitting with his face in Bill's neck until a plate of food was set on the table in front of them.

"It is time to eat, Trouble," Bill said gently. Harry sat up and accepted the offered bite. Other's joined them at the table and soon they were all eating happily.

"How long did we sleep?" Harry finally asked.

"Well, you went to sleep on Tuesday and now it is Friday evening," Draco answered. "That is your shortest resting period."

"How long do they normally last?" Kisten asked.

"Normally, I sleep for six days every six weeks," Harry answered.

"Impressive," Kisten replied.

"We will have to see what your new normal will be. You are hunting so it will be unpredictable until you are through adding to our circle," Bill stated. Harry nodded his understanding.

"Friday? We missed dinner with Granddera and meeting with the Merrow," Harry said quickly when he realized. Bill soothed him.

"I let Granddera know what happened and they understand. You will just have to make plans with them next week when you get a chance. As far as the Merrow, don't worry Mera told me that they already talked to the Merrow and let them know what happened," Draco answered. He had apparently efficiently taken care of things while they had been sleeping.

"Thank you, Drake," Harry said gratefully. Draco just smiled and waved him off.

"You will do the same for me when it is our turn," Draco stated. "It will still be at least half a day before your Pareya are up. We can talk about our plans for the hunt in the meantime."

Harry nodded and was more than happy to settle in Bill's arms in the sitting room after dinner. He was happy to add to the conversations about The Hunt and make plans with all of them. Afterward, they played chess and other games. After a few hours, they forced themselves to head back to bed so that their sleep schedules didn't get messed up. Tomorrow their Pareya should wake up and then they could finalize plans and prepare.

Harry was super excited about The Hunt. He could tell that Draco was too. This was going to be so much fun. It was even more exciting that his little sister would be hunting as well. He couldn't wait to spend time with Luna going through favors and all of the other things that went along with hunting. This was truly a great start to their new life.
