Chapter 25
The next morning Harry awoke to the smell of bacon, eggs, toast, and coffee. When he looked over to Hermione’s side of the bed and found it was empty, but then he heard the tinkle of glass hitting glass and looked over to a table that was sitting in front of the bay windows of the room. The table was full of food and there by the table stood an awake and apparently clumsy Hermione this morning. So, Harry grabbed his robe, put it on and went over to sit down.
“Morning, Harry.”
“Morning, Mione.”
“Sleep well after talking to Draco?”
“Yes. Wait, how’d…”
“How’d I know that you went to talk to him? It’s me you’re talking to, Luv, I always know. So, what did you two figure out?”
“We’re having a duel for the wand this afternoon after we train a bit because…”
“He only has its alliance, you’re meant to own it along with the other Deathly Hallows.”
“Mione, can I ask you something?”
“Yes?”
“Think this over completely. And know if it’s not what you want we’ll think of something else, ok?”
“Okay, I will. So what is it?”
“Draco asked if we would be willing to consider moving in here with him and Ali. Living with them here. All four of us. If you don’t want to, that’s fine. We’ll find our own place I don’t mind. I just want you to be happy.”
“Yes.”
“You don’t have to answer right away. You can take some time to think about it. Make a pro/con list like I know you like to do.”
“Yes.”
“You don’t have to say yes because you think it’s what I want. I want you to be happy and if you’re not here, that’s fine.”
“Harry, listen damnit! I said yes. I’d love to live here with Draco and Ali. I’ve really been thinking about what I learned talking to Fred and George and I get it now. I’m actually glad you need her and she needs you. I get it and I’m okay with it. I’m not saying I won’t be upset about things every once in a while, but I really get it. I’d love to live here, but you know my parents are going to want to come over for holidays and things, especially once they learn about what’s been going on. Especially when they learn that we’re married. We’re going to have to make it so they can come and contact us, you know. We’ll have to let at least our friends know where we are once this is all over and we can live our lives you know.”
“I know and we’ll figure that all out when we can, if we can, I promise.”
“Don’t you ever let me hear you say that again Harry James Potter-Black!”
“What, I promise?” Harry tried to coat over his earlier words with a joke.
“If we can!?! If we can! We WILL, I’ll make damn sure of it myself if I have to. I’m having a life, a family, a future with you! Do you understand me?”
“Yes, dear,” Harry said pulling the raging Hermione into his pal and kissing her neck to nullify her.
“Good. Now I think we should get up and ready because didn’t you say we had training to get too.”
“Yes, I did. So, are we showering separately or together…to conserve water of course,” Harry said smiling.
Hermione caught the twinkle in his eyes and smacked his arm lightly replying, “If we shower together we’ll never get to what we’re supposed to be doing today. So, no mister we aren’t going to shower together…and as the wife I should go first,” she finished as she got up of his lap and ran for the bathroom with a trying to act mad while laughing husband running after her.
An hour and both their showers later they were dressed for training and headed to the training room. Once they stepped inside they were greeted by the other two married occupants of the house already at work. As they set their things down and began to warm up Draco and Ali were in the middle of a warm up sparring match. With Ali getting Draco with triple butterfly kicks then deftly blocking Draco’s reverse hook kicks with double outer forearm blocks. Draco tried to switch things up and go for points on the midsection with front and reverse punches and palm heel strikes but Ali saw what was coming and dodged. Then she came back around with a heel kick. That left Hermione just gapping and looking over at Harry as if to say “I want to learn that”; which just made him smile and reply with a nod “you will, dear”.
When the match ended with Ali winning the pair turned to a now warmed up Harry and Hermione.
“So, how do you want to do this oh fearless leader?” Draco asked with sarcasm dripping from his voice.
“Leader? Huh?”
“I know about you being the leader of Dumbledore’s Army, don’t you remember I was the one that led Umbridge and the Slytherins when we busted you?”
“Oh, yes Umbridge! You know that was a DADA class and not really Dumbledore’s Army right?”
“Now I do. So? How do you think we should do this?”
“Well, I think we should figure out what each of us knows about muggle and wizard fighting and what we’re all best at spell wise and what we each need help with first. Before we go any further, let’s spend maybe an hour going over the basics of fighting and spell casting. Especially, DADA spells with some charms and transfiguration mixed in. Also as much as this kills me we may need potions so we better work on that a bit too, k?”
“Okay,” the other three replied.
So, that’s what they did for the next couple hours actually. Harry and Draco helped Ali with learning her magic while also showing what they knew, how strong or weak it was, and so on. Hermione helped Ali with Potions while the boys showed each other what they knew about muggle and wizard hand to hand and weapon fighting. After this Draco helped Harry with his Potions while Ali and Hermione showed each other what they knew of fighting. They switched on and off with each other and each other’s spouses to see what would work best as a training routine. After they all figured out what each of them was best at they took about an hour long break to eat and give Harry and Hermione time to figure out a schedule of sorts for their training.
When they got back to training they worked on the basics for muggle fighting for Hermione’s benefit as well as for Draco too. Then they moved on to spell casting which was a good learning tool for Ali as well as a nice review for all of them. Then they moved to throwing spells during muggle fighting practice which was for all of them. Finally, they worked on dueling by throwing spells and countering and protecting. They took another break to get some more food and drink and when they got back the boys were about to get into dueling positions, but suddenly Ali called out.
“Hey, Ash why don’t we duel? I need the practice and plus I’ve always wanted to know if I could best you,” she smirked.
“Oh, really you think you can Ice. Okay, come on over here then. Draco our rematch will have to be put on hold yet again,” Harry smirked at Draco and then looked at Ali as she walked up to the dueling mat they had set up earlier.
As Ali stepped forward Draco began talking to both because he decided he would be the referee for this match. Secretly hoping to get pointers as well. He told Ali the rules of a wizarding duel and then let Harry and Ali get into position. They greeted each other in the dueling way and walked the required amount of steps away. As they prepared to fire off their first spells they smirked at each other and that was the only indication that this duel was going to be worthwhile. And suddenly the duel began with Harry shooting off an Expeliamus; which Ali blocked with a Protego and shot of a Stunner, but Harry dodged and shot off a Dancing Legs jinx. Ali cast the counter on herself and shot her own version of the Expeliamus at Harry which he dodged with a flip to the side and threw a shot of fire at Ali. She then proceeded to shoot off a shot of ice which met Harry’s fire in the center and created steam. With the firing of their elements they threw their wands to their spouses and began dueling with their elementals and martial arts together.
All Draco and Hermione could seem to do was stand as far back as possible and gape as Harry and Ali shot fire and ice in between kicks and punches at each other. Heck one time as Draco watched and Hermione was hiding her face at the moment, Ali and Harry both fired their elements straight at each other, as if throwing a punch instead. Their elementals actually took on the shape of fists and flew at each other, which they both dodged by rolling to the side. Suddenly after what felt like forever Ali fired a shot of ice at Harry’s feet which he jumped to avoid and as he came down he slipped on the very edge of the ice and rolled trying to get to his feet but it was already too late Ali was running at him. She flipped over the fireball he fired off and landed a kick to his chest which he blocked by kicking her right back in her chest. As they both fell to the floor they each had a hold of the other’s foot and were aiming punches at each other’s faces with flashes of ice blue and red surrounding their fists.
Finally Harry stood up pulling Ali to her feet. “Enough! We can’t beat each other Ali shall we call this a draw?”
Ali dusted off her pants and agreed “Yeah obviously we are way to evenly matched. A draw sounds good to me.”
She turned towards the edge of the training platform and grabbed Draco’s hand hopping down. He handed her a towel and as she wiped her face he spoke.
“Damn Harry, Ali that was amazing. I knew you both could fight but not like that.”
Harry also hopped down and wiped his own face off. After taking a quick drink of water that Hermione had handed him he answered. “Yeah well when it comes to spells and our elemental power we are evenly matched but when it comes to martial arts Ali can kick my ass.”
Draco laughed “Yeah she can kick mine too in martial arts.”
Hermione spoke up. “Ali?”
“Yeah Mione?”
“What belt are you?”
“Well considering that I’ve been in taekwondo since I was 3 I am a 5th degree black belt. I’m working on getting my 6th degree.”
“And I have the battle scars to prove it.” Harry said laughing.
“Why what do you mean Harry?” Hermione asked.
“When I first started coming here I would watch Ali and Uncle Anthony spar and I wanted to learn myself so Ali taught me.”
Draco asked “So what degree are you?”
“2nd degree.”
“So do you have a belt Draco?” Hermione asked.
“Yeah I’m red/black. Ali is an awesome teacher.”
“Can you teach me Ali?”
“Sure Mione not a problem.” Ali said sitting down. “So Drac do you still think you can beat Ash?” she asked her husband smirking.
“I’m sure going to try Ali.” With that Draco climbed back on to the training platform.
Harry threw a mischievous glance at Ali and mouthed ‘He’s going down.’
Ali giggled and made herself comfortable on the floor next to Hermione.
“So Ali do you think that Draco can beat Harry.”
“He doesn’t stand a chance Mione.”
“I heard that Ali.”
“Sorry my love but it’s true.”
“I know. I can’t beat you and if Harry can’t even beat you then I’m done for.”
“Hey Ash?”
“Yeah Ice?”
“Hurt my husband and your bits are history.”
“Hun, don’t you that! I like those bits. I need those bits for future use. You know my future kids are in those bits,” Hermione turned to Ali with a smirk while Harry replied to Ali at the same time.
“Alright Ice I won’t hurt him. Much.” Harry said under his breath.
‘What was that Harry?”
“Nothing Draco. Are you ready?”
“As ready as I can be.”
The two did the usual wizarding bow and turned around to walk away, but before they got to far Draco turned and asked with his patented Malfoy smirk, “Scared Potter?”
“You wish, Malfoy.”
Ali and Hermione looked at each other rolling their eyes and said in unison, “What is this second year! Get on with it!”
The boys looked at them smirking and went on to their spots turning to face one another.
