Chapter 12 The Night Before the Day Of

The stunning blondes and the brunette made their way to their suite in the dungeons. Harry gave the password and helped them in. Harry looked at the two and led them both to the couch. He saw them settled and headed for the kitchen.
had hadn’t cooked for this many people before, but he had cooked for the appetites of his relatives so it was about the same he figured. He began pulling ingredients out catching on to what Hermione had said about the pasta. They could all use a little boost tonight and it would be easier on Lucius if he went with a very light sauce.

Harry was humming as he worked around the kitchenette and remembered to put on tea. He carried it out to the common room and served “his three Malfoy’s ”. It was still sinking in; he was going to be a father.

He wanted to talk to Draco about it, but wanted to do it when they were alone. It could wait until later.

They talked about the past couple of months, catching Lucius up on things he had missed. Lucius kept watching the clock and the door. Harry tried to figure out what he was waiting for.

“Um, Lucius, may I call you Lucius or should I call you Sir or Dad? I couldn’t call you father.” Lucius took pity on the man/boy in front of him. “Whatever you are comfortable with, Harry, is good enough for me.” Harry nodded. “Do you have any requests for dinner?” Draco smirked at Harry and turned to his father and smirked again. “You should try his Baked Oysters with Spinach sometime. Delicious.” Draco ran his tongue over his lips teasing Harry. Both remembered how that meal ended. Harry chuckled and leaned down to Draco. “Behave or you’ll be waiting until I cook them again.” Draco snorted. “You couldn’t hold out that long, Lion.” Lucius observed them teasing each other and smiled. They had a good start at this relationship. He wondered what his chances were with his former lover now that the path was clear. “Harry, I believe you offered me a bed. Would you show me to it, please?” Draco stood up, “I’ll take you Father, Harry can start on dinner. How would you like a shower first, or do you want me to wake you up in time for one?”

Lucius chuckled. It had been a long time since he had seen his son this happy and excited. “Draco, why don’t I grab a quick one now to relax me to help me sleep and then one before dinner?” Draco was happy to get his father everything he needed to be comfortable. He even turned down the bed while waiting for his father. Lucius walked back in and shook his head. “Draco, thank you son. Now why don’t you go help Harry? Call me about 6 so I can have time to wash again.” Lucius crawled under the covers and pulled them up to his chin.

Draco went back out to the kitchen to see Harry moving like a whirlwind. “Harry what can I do to help?” Harry looked at him and said, “Just stay there and be my inspiration.” Harry moved by him to get something else, slowed long enough to steal a kiss, and kept moving.

Dinner was well under control and he could rest. He looked at Draco and held out a hand. “Come shower with me?” Draco grabbed the hand and dragged Harry to the bathroom off of their bedroom. Once inside, Draco made a grab for Harry who was grabbing at the same time. They came together in a mix of kisses and caresses bringing the long, sensuous moans to the surface.

“Harry, Silencing Spell, Hurry!” Harry cast the spell and let his lips travel to Draco’s ear and neck. Even if he had wanted slow, it was going to go fast this time in the shower. There was always later. Draco soaped his hands and began washing Harry, stroking him and causing more sounds to echo off the walls. Harry decided fair was fair and soaped his hands. He started in the middle and worked his way up Draco’s chest, stopping to torment the nipples, first with his mouth and then with his hands. Draco felt himself harden even more. “Harry, don’t stop.” Harry didn’t plan on it. He kept working on Draco, keeping pace with the ministrations being performed on him. Draco hit a spot just under Harry’s left nipple. Harry shuddered, grabbed the back of Draco’s head, and brought him into a searing kiss. Tongues dueled and teased. Hands moved and they clung closer to each other, rubbing against each other, Harry’s hand slid down to Draco’s cock and began spreading the seeping juices around, making sure to bring his hand up in front of Draco and licked it clean. Draco grabbed the hand in front of him and began licking and sucking on each finger until he was satisfied and plunged his mouth over three of them and sucked for all he was worth, letting his tongue lave them and tease them. Harry growled and backed Draco against the wall and proceeded to rub their hardened members together causing a delicious friction between them and sending their senses soaring. Harry’s free hand reached between them and gently rolled and tugged at Draco’s quivering sack. Draco had both hands free at the moment and put them both to work. With one he massaged and kneaded Harry’s arse and ran a finger down the crack to tease him at his opening, The other free hand had found a nipple and was playing with it – first palming it, to tweaking it, to applying more pressure on it between his fingers. Both men were on overload and growled. The simultaneous sound caused them both to explode and collapse onto each other, panting, heaving and sweating in the shower. They clung to each other until their breathing slowed and then set about washing each other. Stepping out of the shower, they smelled Harry’s dinner and hurried to dry and dress to finish the preparations for dinner.

Both men came from the bedroom smiling and holding hands. They were greeted by a freshlshedshed Lucius sitting in the chair, flipping through a textbook. He looked at them and smiled. “Guys, just a word of advice. When in the shower use double silencing spells, showers echo everything.” Lucius just chuckled as they blushed.

Harry went about placing the food in the serving dishes and placing them on the table as the first knock registered on their door. Draco opened the door and admitted Hermione and Severus in at the same time.

“Thank you for joining us this evening. Harry has dinner on the table and we can start any time. Severus, can I offer you and father something stronger than pumpkin juice for tonight?” Both men shook their heads and said pumpkin juice would be fine.

Draco went to Hermione and offered his arm to lead her to dinner. He led her to the chair between him and Harry while Severus and Lucius sat next to each other, across from them. All ate their fill and proclaimed that Harry could cook for them anytime he wanted. The young Gryffindor blushed.

After dinner they moved off to the common room and let the house elves take care of the cleanup. Once they were seated comfortably, Harry brought up the subject that was on all their minds. “Hermione, Draco, Professor, I just want you to know I had no idea this would happen. While I t ret regret it between Draco and myself, I can see that two of you resent me for it. I’ve thought about it and the only solution I can come up with is to let me have the children when they are born and you can go about your lives.” All eyes flashed in wonder at the young man.

Severus was the first to speak up. “Harry, I know how your life has been and how you long for a family. We share that desire. I will not give my child to you or Draco to raise, but I will not keep it away from you. I’ve had time to think about it today and realized that I had wanted a family years ago. Draco, you’ve been the closest thing I’ve had to a son, now its time for me to have my own.” All parties were shocked and then dumbfounded when Severus gave them a smile they never thought to see on his face. He was enraptured.

Hermione looked at Harry and Draco. “Harry, are you sure about that offer? How would you take care of multiple babies?”

Harry looked at Hermione and tried to keep the excitement out of his voice. “Hermione, I’d take care of multiple babies the way families have done for millennia. You love them, care for them and nourish all the needs they have.”

Hermione considered him and Draco again. Draco was beginning to get sleepy after the hectic day, and no nap. “Harry, you know I’ve always planned to go to university until I knew what I wanted. If I were to keep this baby, I wouldn’t be able to follow my dream and I would end up despising the poor little thing. I know it would be better with you and Draco and me as the doting Aunt in years to come. Have a lawyer draw up the papers, I will let you have the baby when its born with no fight, just let me see it once in a while.”

Harry could not believe his ears. This was not what he was expecting at all, he figured if anyone gave it up, it would have been Severus. “I’ll have the papers ready for you in three days ‘Mione. You will also let me take care of any expenses resulting from the pregnancy – clothes, books, special diets if you need it. We will take care of you Hermione. If you aren’t comfortable in the tower, I’ll even ask Dumbledore for quarters for you near us, or let you move in here. The choice would be yours.

Hermione got up and hugged them both. “With that fellows, I’m going to thank you for dinner and head back to the towers. I’ll see you in a couple of days. Draco, remember you promised him sunsets and sunrises away from here.” Hermione started to leave when she was stopped by two older male voices.

Lucius spoke first again. “Miss Granger, allow me to escort you as far as the door to your room. You know how Peeves is, and the ever moving staircases. I would feel easier knowing you reached it safely.” Hermione thanked them and started to head out again. “Miss Granger,” this was from Severus, “I would like a chance to talk with you tonight. Why don’t I escort you back to your room also?” Both men moved in and extended arms to her, She accepted both, gave a nod to Harry, and walked off with the two men. Before they got too far, Draco rushed over to his father and gave him the password; “So you can get back in here tonight” Lucius looked at him with a sad smile and wondered how much he really knows about Lucius’ previous life? Lucius thanked him again and joined Severus and Hermione.
