Dragon Mate

Chapter 8

Sadly September 1st finally came and they had to start playing their roles again.

They managed to see eachother more often then last year with Harry's help. He and Hermione had made an agreement to be eachothers excuse. It seemed that Harry and Severus and come to an agreement; much to Lucius's and Hermione's amusement. They would switch off covering for eachother giving both couples more private time then they would otherwise be available to them.

The year passed by quickly and Halloween soon approached. Two weeks before it, Lucius and Severus where called to Voldemort's side. The Snakey Prat told of his great plan to attack Hogwarts on Halloween. Lucius had to grab Severus's arm to keep him from giving himself away when Voldemort started talking about killing Harry on the same day his parents died.

When the meeting was over they went to Dumbledore. When they were done telling him everything he called the trio and the Order. Lucius hugged Hermione once she was there, not caring who saw. Weasley was shocked at the move and turned to say something to Harry only to be even more shocked to find him in the arms of Severus. He turned to Dumbledore who just laughed gently and told him you can't stand in the way of true love. When the Order was assembled they where surprised at Hermione in Lucius's lap and Harry in Severus's. Sirius just shook his head and smiled gently.

Dumbledore briefed them all on the upcoming attack. He gave them a chance to think and then planning started. He looked at Lucius and Hermione with his eyebrow raised. They looked at eachother and then at him and nodded. He was now going to tell the rest of the Order about them.

“We do have two secret weapons in this fight against Tom.” Dumbledore told them. There were surprised exclamations around the room. Dumbledore continued. “Two of our members have found they have magical creature blood. Lucius and Hermione are Dragons.” The room was silent as everyone thought of the implications of that.

It was the twins, of course, that broke the silence with, “Wicked!” Lucius and Hermione laughed.

Mrs. Weasley asked, “Is that why she is sitting on his lap? Are you her mentor?”

Hermione rolled her eyes and stated proudly “No Mrs. Weasley he's my mate.” Molly gaped at her while Lucius pulled her closer, happy that she was proud to be his. Molly started to sputter. 

Lucius looked at her and said, “We already have her parent's approval Mrs. Weasley. We don't need yours.”

Molly was flummoxed. So she moved on to Harry. “Why are you in Severus's lap Harry?” Harry just gave her a wicked grin, “He's my lover Mrs. Weasley.”

Lucius couldn't help but laugh at her scandalized expression.

Dumbledore called the meeting back to order, “As interesting as our social lives maybe, we are here to plan for Tom's attack on the school. So, let us get back to work.” A couple of hours later the meeting broke up and they had a good plan. Now there where things to prepare and then they would wait. He and Severus where called a few more times to fine tune somethings and they would report to Dumbledore and fine tune the Order's plan as well. The time slowly neared. The night before the battle, Harry was in Severus's rooms, Weasley was with his family and Hermione was in Lucius's rooms. They currently where sitting on the couch holding eachother after a nice romantic dinner. He pulled her face to his and kissed her. When he pulled away, he looked into her eyes. He knew what he needed to do.

“Hermione. When you come of age, would you marry me?” he asked her gently.

She lit up like a light. “Of course I'll marry you Lucius. Nothing would make me happier.”

He smiled the biggest he had in his entire life. “Gods, I love you Hermione.”

“I love you too Lucius.” he pulled her on to his lap and kissed her while he fished the ring out of his pocket. He pulled back and slipped it on her finger. She gasped,

“Lucius, it's beautiful!”

“I'm glad you like sweet heart.”

She kissed him deeply, making him moan. He stood and carried her to the bedroom. He gently layed her on the bed, climbing on top of her. He pulled back and looked into her eyes again. He whispered the spell she had taught him, making her smirk, while there clothes disappeared. He slid his hand down to her core and found her already wet and ready for him. He slowly slid into her tight heat. They both groaned. He was going to go slow tonight. He wanted this to last as long as it could. Hermione seemed to feel the same way. He slowly thrust into her. There eyes staying on eachothers as they touched and caressed and loved eachother. Soon, to soon, they where both reaching their completion and neither could hold off much longer so he sped up and thrust as hard as he dared. Hermione screamed his name as she fell apart and he called hers as he went over the edge with her. He rolled over, bringing her with him so that she was on top of him and he was still inside her. She pulled the blankets up around them and they fell asleep. The next morning they were both up early and made love one more time in the shower. Then they went downstairs to have breakfast with the rest of the Order.

The younger students and those not in the DA where all locked in their dormitories with house elves to guard and take care of them. The children of deatheaters were being doubly guarded; there would be no warnings. Soon it was time for everyone to take their positions. Lovers and families held eachother for a few more minutes. Friends hugged or shook hands. Then they all went there separate ways. Lucius and Severus waited by the gate to allow Voldemort and his lunatics on to the grounds. After they where in they would close and re-lock the gate so they couldn't get out. Then they would circle around them to join forces with the Order.

He turned to Severus and said quietly, “I asked Hermione to marry when she comes of age last night.”

Severus grinned at him. “Congratulations. She is a bit of a know it all but she is a good person.”

Lucius laughed. “She tends not to be so much of a know it all around me. She definitely has a sneaky slytherin side to her.” Severus laughed and agreed.

They heard the pops of people apperating on the other side of the gate. They looked at eachother. It was time. The fighting was fierce. Severus and Lucius had killed several deatheaters each by the time they reached Hermione and Harry. Hermione was holding her own and had several dead around her. He hated the fact that she had to kill but knew it was the only way.

When he made it to her side, Voldemort yelled! “Kill her Lucius! Kill her now!”

Lucius gave him a look of contempt. “Why would I kill my mate?” Lucius yelled back.

This was the signal. He and Hermione transformed. Voldemort and his deatheaters were stunned long enough for their opponents to take them down. Harry and Severus held hands as they both sent the killing curse at Voldemort. He died with a shocked look on his face. The rest of the deatheaters where either killed or captured.

Then there was silence, blessed silence.

Then Lucius and Hermione threw there heads back and roared in triumph as the rest of the order cheered. They had made it though with no deaths and few casualties.

Later, after the clean up by the Ministry and the Celebration Feast. Lucius and Hermione retired to his rooms again where they spent the next few day.
