“I think, all in all, this day has been a success.” Lucius said lightly, as the last few guests besides Jasper left, leaving only family members and a incurable flirt at Malfoy Manor. “So, who is going to join me and Harry in the white parlour for a drink and the chat you two no doubt want to have before my new husband and I retire?” He asked, mostly to Annabelle and Aceline.

The two women quickly accepted the offer, as did Severus and Draco. Jasper nodded. “I’ll join you. Who knows when I’ll see you two next?” He teased.

Lucius looked him over with a raised eyebrow. “Well, if I had more opportunity to go out dancing whilst serving as a teacher, rest assured, I’d take it.” He said dryly.

Draco’s eyes widened as he stared at Jasper. “I just realized why you look so familiar!” He said—loudly. “You’re the guy I could never place in all those pictures of Father and Severus when they were younger! When they used to go out every weekend! I knew you looked familiar!”

Jasper laughed. “Yes, that’s me. And, not surprisingly, we’ve never had occasion to meet properly.” He added in amusement.

Lucius sighed. “Yes, Draco, that is Jasper. You’ll meet him many times in the future, since I see myself going out quite a lot once the school year is over.” He told the younger blond. “He works as a bartender at The Inferno.”

Draco’s mouth opened in an ‘O’ of realization and he nodded. “I see.”

They all took seats in the parlour as Lucius went to the liquor cabinet and poured them all drinks.

He levitated them toward the person they were for, carrying the last two over and sitting beside Harry. He held out one glass to Harry and took a sip from his.

Draco cast a spell over his before drinking from it.

“Alright, Annabelle, Aceline, I know you have things to say you’ve not been able to thus far. We are amongst family—and as good as—now, so let’s hear it.” Lucius remarked calmly.

Annabelle looked at Aceline, giving her sister permission to speak first.

Aceline drew a breath. “You are old enough to be this young man’s Father.” She stated.

Severus interrupted. “Lucius is five years older than his father.” He corrected.

Harry flushed at the startled gasp from both women.

They turned to each other and started furiously whispering in French, Draco listening in with a small smile on his face. After a few moments, they both turned back to Lucius and Annabelle took the reins. “On top of that, he is still a virgin, and you made him swear to fidelity.” She chided him. “Even Narcissa was allowed her freedom once she bore you an heir! How can you be so selfish with such a young man?! To be the only sensual touch he’ll ever know, when you can’t say the same for yourself!” She finished hotly, tossing her hair.

Harry cleared his throat. “To be fair, he promised me fidelity, too, and we agreed on that point before the wedding. Neither of us want anyone else.” He said quietly.

Aceline sighed. “It still isn’t fair. You might change your mind in a few years; youth is fickle.”

Harry just sighed and shrugged, taking a sip of his drink.

“Also, this is a love match, if I heard my ear correctly?” Aceline asked, eyeing both Harry and Lucius in turn.

Harry smiled and took Lucius’ hand. “It is. We’re very much in love.”

Lucius cleared his throat and spoke in French to them briefly. Harry’s breath caught in his throat as he heard the language on the man’s lips properly for the first time. He thought he caught the word “Faurae,” but couldn’t be sure.

Annabelle and Aceline both nodded at whatever explanation the man had given, as they both smiled and nodded. “That makes sense. Well, then, that’s all that needs to be said. We both wish you well.”

They all finished their drinks and stood.

“I’m going to head back to the hotel. I’ll see you there, Aceline. Feel free to bring him, if he’s up to it.” Annabelle said softly to her sister before Apparating out.

Aceline turned a flirtatious smile to Jasper. “So, were you serious earlier? Do you think you can handle us both?” She asked.

Lucius groaned. “Yes, he can, just take him and go! Merlin, if I’d known you two were going to sink your claws into him—“ He let out a loud sigh as Aceline gripped Jasper’s arm and Apparated out with him.

Severus and Draco laughed softly.

“Well, Father, Severus and I are going to head back to Hogwarts. See you in a week. Have fun, you two!” Draco said, as the two headed for the receiving room where they’d Floo back to Hogwarts.

“Now that we’re finally alone…” Lucius purred.

Harry grinned. “Bed?” He suggested.

“My thoughts exactly.” Lucius agreed.
