After some more playful, fast-paced dances with the girls, Daphne leaned in to Aaric's ear and whispered, "I'll have a dance with Fleur, okay?" She then gave him a quick, loving kiss on the cheek and gracefully departed.
Aaric gave her a light caress on her cheek before she left and held Luna by the waist as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
The music became noticeably slower and more romantic, and they swayed and moved together in each other's arms with wide smiles on their faces, gazing intimately into each other's eyes.
Aaric gave the weird sisters a little thumbs up and a cheeky smile behind Luna's back, getting one in return form the lead singer.
They danced like this for the duration of a full song, after which Luna left to dance with Fleur, and Daphne immediately stepped in to take her place.
Aaric smiled and held Daphne by the waist as well, while she wrapped her arms warmly around his neck.
"You are looking at me like I am the only person in the world," Daphne whispered to him with a heartfelt smile and a slight blush coloring her cheeks.
Aaric held her waist firmer and just smiled in response, there was no genuine need for words between them.
Another song later, Aaric, Daphne, and Luna sat together to the side and just talked casually as more upbeat music played loudly around them.
Aaric gave Harry a thumbs-up and a smile when he saw Harry jumping around and dancing enthusiastically with Ginny. He received a wave in return.
Pyra was running circled around the two from time to time as well, getting giggles and smiled from Ginny.
Draco was with Astoria. Their dance was more like they were joyfully playing with each other as they bumped into each other's sides, and Astoria would step on his shoes just for giggles.
Daphne smiled gently as she saw how happy Astoria was and noticed Fleur walking toward them. She gave Fleur a subtle, approving nod.
"Well, can I 'ave a dance now?" Fleur asked Aaric, giving a glance toward Luna and Daphne.
Luna and Daphne glanced at each other, then toward Aaric, before they nudged him playfully by the shoulders, implicitly allowing him to share a dance with Fleur.
"I would love to..." Aaric said and gave both his girls a grateful kiss on the cheeks before he took Fleur's hand and moved onto the dance floor while Alice sat down with Luna and Daphne.
"I honestly don't understand why you allowed that," Alice muttered, giving Luna and Daphne a baffled glance.
The girls just gave her a playful shrug in response. They knew they would have an eternity with Aaric, and he had already made them goddesses just because he truly cared for them.
In Luna and Daphne's eyes, he would always be worth it, even if he had not conferred such power upon them.
On the dance floor, Aaric was holding one hand with Fleur while his other hand rested securely on her waist, holding her firmly.
Fleur's movements were captivating, elegant, and otherworldly, and Aaric moved with her naturally, effortlessly matching her flow.
"Lessons with a goddess of dance played out, huh?" Aaric muttered and caressed her back lightly, making her take a sharp breath.
Even with the age gap, they were of the same height, so their eyes never left each other.
Fleur hummed softly as her deep blue eyes gazed intently at Aaric's black orbs. She held his neck tighter and moved closer to him, with an expression of curiosity in her eyes.
"You know... every time I look at you. I zink about how much my life 'as changed in such a short time," Fleur whispered, her head tilted as if she was trying to deduce Aaric's existance.
"All good changes... I hope," Aaric whispered back softly, making her hum again.
"Tonight... In ze Dreamlands, will you come wiz me to meet 'er?" Fleur asked Aaric softly, as she moved her fingers in small, suggestive circles on his neck.
"Of course," Aaric answered in an instant, immediately receiving a radiant smile from Fleur.
"Zank you Aaric... for everyzing," she whispered softly and moved her lips towards his. She moved to the side mid-way, instead giving him a lingering kiss on the cheek and then letting go.
"It is their night tonight," Fleur said, glancing over at Luna and Daphne. "I 'ave stolen you enough... for now." She finished, giving Daphne and Luna a wave before she went to talk to Hermione.
Luna and Daphne waved back and held Aaric's hands before the three of them left the Great Hall to have some fresh air in the garden as the clock struck midnight and the last song of the ball was sung.
Alice had already retired for the night and was resting in her room.
The three walked through the moonlit night as a comfortable silence took hold of them. They would occasionally see students snogging passionately in the bushes and would just shrug or chuckle softly as they walked by.
The three sensed something and looked up. The darkness of the night did not hinder their vision, and they were able to clearly see a certain giant couple riding a majestic dragon high under the moonlight.
"Good for him..." Aaric muttered and glanced at the girls. "Well... shall we retire for the night?" he asked.
The girls hummed and exchanged a quick glance before Luna waved her hand and formed a portal for them.
The three entered the portal, but only two emerged on the other side in Aaric's dorm room.
Aaric looked at Daphne and chuckled softly when he instantly figured out what had happened.
"Is this night special enough for you?" Daphne asked, her cheeks flushed, as she wrapped her arms around Aaric.
"You tell me," Aaric said and held Daphne's thighs, easily picking her up as she immediately wrapped her legs around his waist.
Daphne responded by giving Aaric a passionate kiss as she hugged his neck tighter.
Aaric carried her to the bed and laid her on it gently, with him immediately on top of her.
"Luna will join us after some time," Daphne whispered to Aaric, and soft moans and gentle grunts filled the room for the next hour.
A/n: I don't feel comfortable writing beyond this in terms of sexual content because of their physical ages. I think I will write my first lemon between Ra and Elia.
| In the Dreamlands |
Aaric arrived in the Dreamlands as per his promise to Fleur. Luna and Daphne had opted not to enter the Dreamlands that night and just wished to have a normal sleep.
He saw Fleur standing calmly by their cabin of the island, with her white phoenix companion faithfully by her side.
She smiled radiantly when she saw him and held his hand with warmth.
"Shall we?" She asked and waved her hand as a silver portal formed immediately beside her.
Eilistraee had clearly given her the authority to form a direct portal to her realm from wherever she was in the Dreamlands.
Aaric nodded and entered the portal with Fleur as the white phoenix flew away to roam through the island.
