A knocking on the door had Molly Weasley rushing to answer it, before inviting the two men inside moments later.
"Sorry to interrupt anything Mrs. Weasley…"
She waved Remus' apology off before ushering them inside, "Nonsense, you are always welcome here. Is Harry with you?"
Sirius shook his head, "Still off on one of his fabulous vacations, I am actually surprised you and your husband let Ginny go on one with him."
Molly smiled, "She needed to do something on her own, to get out and see the world a little. Although I don't regret it, Arthur and I married right out of school and I was pregnant not soon after. I love my children more than anything else, but I wish I could have just been a young adult for a few years rather than immediately settling down and starting a family."
The Lord Black gave a nod, "Hey just say the word and I'll set you and Mr. Weasley up on a tropical vacation, Harry took advantage of that a few weeks ago and loved it."
"Oh, no we couldn't impose in such a…"
This time it was the Marauder's turn to wave off her argument, "Please, that was the first time they have been used in years . Someone might as well take advantage of how much money my great-great-grandfather spent on the darn thing. But anyway, we are here on a bit of business. Fred and George home by chance?"
The woman frowned, before shouting up the stairs for her twin boys, "What did they do this time…" she half-muttered as the sound of footsteps filled the air.
"Yes?"
"Mother dearest"
"Light of our lives"
"Star of our hearts"
"Best cook in the entire…"
She interrupted their tirade before it could continue by gesturing to the two older men, "Sirius and Remus are here to see you. I do so hope you haven't done anything wrong…"
"They didn't Mrs. Weasley, I assure you." The Werewolf gently intoned, "Actually we were here to talk to them about their future business plans."
The twins' eyes widened in excitement, while their mother gave a sigh and motioned for them to take a seat on the nearby couch. "I will make some tea then hm? Can't have you discussing work on empty stomachs." As she left, she just made out the enthusiastic conversations starting up between the four men and a smile formed on her face. It was always one of her dreams for the two mischievous of her children to find their calling in a way that would continue past school.
...
"Fleur?"
The older blonde looked up from where she had been reading through a list of local attractions to where her sister was standing nearby, twitching a bit nervously. "What is wrong Gabbie?"
"I uhm… thank you for letting me come along with you and Harry. I know you wanted it to be just the two of you but… thank you."
A warm smile formed on the older girl's face, "Of course Gabbie, and I am glad you came. I love spending time with you."
Nodding slightly the girl continued shifting a bit, a sign of anxiety. It was then that Fleur noticed another little quirk, her sister was making a rather obvious effort of not looking to their bathroom, where Harry was currently relaxing in a bath.
"Gabbie…"
Her soft voice brought the younger from whatever had captured her thoughts, "Y-yeah?"
"Is something else wrong?"
"No… no of course not…"
The older Witch stood, before slowly making her way over to the, now slightly trembling, girl before kneeling to eye level. "You are a dreadful liar Gabbie… tell me what is wrong."
"I…" this time the younger did glance over to the bathroom, before blushing slightly and quickly diverting her eyes to the floor.
'So that is the issue.' Fleur noted with a mental smirk. Her sibling was certainly in the age where Veela began to feel the urge to begin experimenting, so it wasn't all that surprising, and while she had personally been hoping for her baby sister to wait a few more years for such activity there was no denying that if she had to choose a future lover for her it would be Harry. Someone who would take it at the younger girl's pace rather than rush things and then grow bored.
"Gabbie, would you like to join Harry? I'm sure he wouldn't mind…"
...
A soft knock on the door earned a confirmation of entrance from the boy-who-was-currently-relaxing-in-a-bubble-bath. The entrance quietly opened, before being quickly shut once more as the younger Delacour sister made her way inside.
"Gabbie, is everything okay?" he inquired, his eyes still shut with his back to the door despite being submerged up to his chin in water.
"Uh-uhm… I was just wondering if… if I could maybe…"
"Would you like to get in the tub?"
She nodded, not realizing he couldn't see the gesture.
"I can get out if you would rather…"
She quickly interrupted, a bit louder than originally planned, "NO! Uhm I mean no that's okay, I don't mind if you don't."
"Not at all my dear." Luckily the tub was rather deep, meaning that despite being almost completely under the water Gabbie was able to get in as well without overflowing the sides. "Just tell me when I am allowed to open my eyes again." He called out to the girl, who blushed as she had just slid in.
"I have a uhm… bathing suit on…"
"Ah" he opened his eyes, noting that she did, in fact, have on the bikini. Noticing his gaze, the girl lit up even brighter as she finally slid into the water with a happy sigh, all the while trying to avoid sitting on his legs or feet.
Shifting around a bit she finally found a comfortable place and fell into silence merely enjoying the warm water and bubbles surrounding her.
"So, are you enjoying your vacation so far?"
"So, are you enjoying your vacation so far?"
Gabrielle nodded excitedly, "I am, thank you for letting me come along."
He smiled at her innocent excitement, "Of course my dear, I am happy you could join us."
"I know that Fleur wanted it to be just the two of you but…"
"But your sister loves you, so it is no problem at all."
She nodded once more, falling silent as she bit her lip in concentration, "I told her…"
The raven-haired teen quirked up an eyebrow in curiosity, "Told her what?"
"About uhm… that one day when we were under the desk… about… uhm…"
"Ah, about how uncomfortable you were."
The blonde nodded, "She told me it was okay but I still… I wanted to help but…"
"But?"
The girl's face scrunched up as she searched for the correct wording, "Fleur said I should ask you about trying by myself… that maybe I was embarrassed because the others were there."
He nodded at the logic before giving a slight shrug, "If you want to."
This time she nodded, before scooting a bit closer to him.
...
"Could I ask you something?"
The boy next to her gave a slight nod as she curled up next to him. It may have taken her a few days, but she had finally convinced her younger sister just to give them some alone time for the evening. With Gabbie sleeping on one side of the bed they hadn't had enough privacy for anything 'physical' and thus it had been the first time for sex during their vacation.
Harry had calmed any fears she had about her younger sister being alone in the hotel by applying a few Charms that caused practically anyone not directly being talked to by the girl to overlook her, thus ensuring her safety.
Fleur took a calming breath before continuing on, not exactly sure where the question would lead her but knowing that she had to ask it regardless, "What was your childhood like? I have seen the way you smile at Gabbie's excitement and innocence, the way you are around those younger than you so I just… if you do not wish to tell me it is fine, but I wanted you to know that if you ever wanted to talk about something…"
"It wasn't a happy time." He gently interrupted, causing the girl's eyes to widen. She, of course, knew about his parents but had always assumed that either Sirius or Remus had raised him based upon how protective they were. "You undoubtedly know about the first year or so, and after Voldemort killed my parents, I was sent to my Aunt's to be raised. Sirius had been imprisoned and Werewolves were still far too untrusted so instead it was my mother's Muggle sister that Dumbledore saw fit to take care of me. Apparently, she disagreed thus I lived at an orphanage."
He fell silent, hand still stroking her back as his mind took him back to his earlier years, "Hedwig was my only friend back then. I believe it had something to do with my developing Magic that I hadn't had enough control over as the other children hated or were terrified of me, same with the adults. My first human friend was probably Draco… although he started off as a follower like many others."
"Harry…" she whispered, tears forming at her eyes at his explanation. She had always assumed he had been a very happy child growing up but with a darker streak, but this ?
"It is quite alright, everyone has their own problems as children hm? You and Gabbie had a rough time with your parents did you not?"
The blonde nodded, "Yes, I suppose we did I just… I'm sorry you did not have more friends."
The boy-who-lived shrugged in response, "It doesn't really matter now regardless."
"True, and now you have all the friends and lovers you could want."
"Including one with me right now." He finished, before grinning at her as she rolled on top of him.
"Perhaps…" she whispered huskily, "We should go for round…"
Whatever she was about to say was interrupted by the door slamming open with an excited squeal, "Fleur! You will never guess what they have on the third floor!"
Practically throwing herself off the teen, the older girl wrapped herself up as best she could, without taking any of Harry's coverings, before glaring at her younger sister. "GABBIE! What did I say about knocking!? "
Giving her best 'but look how adorable I am' smile the girl gave a shrug, "Oh come on Fleur it isn't like I haven't seen you naked before, we used to take baths together remember?"
" Yes " she Witch hissed, "I also recall never having sex in front of you!"
Blinking the girl glanced back and forth between the two teens laying in the bed covered in blankets before blushing a bit. "Oh… uhm sorry? But does this mean we can have a slumber party in bed tonight?"
Fleur merely bit back a groan, before nodding slightly as her lover chuckled beside her.
...
"You're sure about this Draco?" Pansy inquired as the two teens walked down the hallway of the mansion, "I mean knowing about, and approving, are one thing but this is a bit…"
The blonde huffed, "For the fifteenth time, yes I am sure. It is a way to cement my loyalty to our Lord, to elevate myself above all others and show him exactly why I am the best choice for future Minister of Magic."
Forcing herself not to roll her eyes the dark-skinned girl merely nodded. It was all just a poorly scripted excuse from her betrothed, they both knew that Harry was going to make him Minister regardless of whether he went through with this latest plan or not. Hell, he had even told the boy he would despite all of Lucius' numerous betrayals. Draco just wanted to finally get his chance to watch like he always talked about, nothing more.
"Fine, so long as you are okay with it. I don't want you getting all weird and ruining any…"
The Malfoy heir gave her a hush as they reached the door to their Lord's office, the teen having returned from his official 'vacation time' the day prior, "Of course not, now remember the script alright?"
Pansy sighed but gave a nod. True she had considered trying out one of the 'fantasies' that had been the talk of the various girls at Hogwarts and leave it to her future husband to practically demand they try one out.
