Chapter 8

The events that led to Minster Scrimgeour being removed from office were almost anti-climactic in nature. It was handled through official channels as if just another problem, another issue that needed to be resolved quickly and quietly.

Once President Dennison was briefed on the state of the UK magical community he immediately contacted the Prime Minster of Britain and had a closed door discussion on exactly how much he was displeased with their magical community’s civil war and the fact that it threatened exposure of witches and wizards all over the world, including the United States. The Prime Minister was furious to realize that he had been completely kept in the dark by Minister Scrimgeour on what had been happening within his country over the last few years.

Though the events in the magical community had been very public within that society, it had been carefully covered up to keep the muggle government and public unaware of how bad it was becoming. Minister Scrimgeour used every option he had available to keep his place as the Minister of Magic for as long as he could.

As soon as the Prime Minister was up to date on Scrimgeour’s actions he contacted the Ministry of Magic immediately. Though he was the Prime Minister of Britain there were clear divides on his power within the magical community and he was very aware of it. The UK’s magical community was basically a secret sovereign nation within the UK’s borders, self governed and policed.

From the moment of his contacting the MOM a chain of events led to Scrimgeour’s succinct removal from office. The Wizengamot, hearing of the Prime Minister and American President’s displeasure and veiled threats of action if the situation was not resolved, had an unscheduled meeting. Amelia Bones, Chairwoman of the Wizengamot, brought a motion of no confidence in Minister Scrimgeour and the motion passed 53/19 in favor of removal.

Per a vote of the Wizengamot, a temporary Minister was elected until such time that a proper Minister could be selected; Amelia Bones became the Minister of Magic-Elect shortly thereafter.

Two days after Aurors busted into his home, Harry returned with his family in tow. The place was a mess; the back door busted in, furniture broken, two of the walls had plaster and wood blown off of them, glass was broken…

“Dobby be’s cleaning this up, right away Harry Potter Sir!” Dobby said with a gasp after he saw the state of the house.

He quickly began snapping his fingers in a rapid secession; soon the bits of wall lying around the room were gone, soon followed by repair spells mending the broken furniture and the splintered door hanging by one hinge. Within a few minutes it was as if nothing had ever happened and Harry smiled in happily.

“Thank you, Dobby.”

Dobby bobbed his head spastically and blinked his big doe eyes, their surfaces watered slightly at Harry’s words. Over the years Dobby had gotten somewhat used to Harry’s thank you’s and please’s and the like, toning down his all-out balling at any wizard showing him kindness.

“Is there be anything mores needs taking care of Harry Potter Sir?” Dobby squeaked.

“No thank you, Dobby. I think we’ll head off to bed for the night.” Harry said quietly as he held a sleeping Teddy in his arms. Beside him Ginny yawned quietly and nodded her head in agreement. Dobby nodded his head and then aparated away.

“Night Harry, Jack, Daddy…” Ginny yawned again as she headed up to her room.

“See you in the morning.” Arthur said quietly with a kiss on Harry and Teddy’s foreheads and then followed his daughter upstairs.

Jack and Harry walked up the stairs and into Teddy’s bedroom quietly. Placing his son carefully in his bed, Harry covered him up and kissed his forehead and leaned back against Jack’s chest.

“I’m so glad it’s over…” Harry whispered, sighing in pleasure as Jack wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled Harry back tightly against his warmth.

“So am I, baby.” Jack replied as he kissed the nape of Harry’s neck thanking anyone listening for allowing Harry to remain in his life. “Come on let’s get to bed…”

Jack pulled Harry along through the house into the bedroom and closed the door behind them. Once within the room, cut off from the rest of the world, Jack turned around and pulled Harry into a tight embrace and breathed in his scent reverently.

“God, I love you so much Harry.”

Harry smiled up at his lover and linked his arms around Jack’s neck. “I love you too, Jack… so much. I never thought I would have this… you, a family… it feels like I’m dreaming sometimes.”

“Well, if you’re maybe dreaming, I definitely am… a young hot lover who loves me and is willing to let me do dirty perverted things to him… yeah, dreaming.” Jack said with a smirk as he cupped Harry’s ass and lifted the young wizard up.

Harry smoothly wrapped his legs around Jack’s waist and held on as Jack carried him over to the bed and laid him down on the soft down comforter. He sighed as Jack’s weight settled over him, pinning his body to the bed. Jack claimed his mouth in a sweet soulful kiss. Their tongues slid erotically against each other’s, the subtle spicy flavor of Harry mingling with Jack’s minty flavor and creating a new completely different one, a flavor only the two lovers could create.

Jack ran his hands down and then back up Harry’s body, as if cataloging every curve and valley to memory. Soon their slow kiss turned into a consuming one and they began ripping and pulling their clothes from each other’s bodies, desperate to touch the other. As Jack pulled the rest of Harry’s clothes from his body, he let his mouth travel down from those pouted cherub lips to the soft skin between Harry’s collarbones to the pointed peeks of those gum drop nipples. He sucked one into the warm cavern of his mouth grinning around it as Harry cried out as it was engulfed.

“Oh merlin, Jack…” Harry moaned, his fingers digging like claws into the bedding below him as he arched his body, trying to get closer to the source of his pleasure.

Jack lifted his mouth from Harry’s nipple and said, “Baby, did you remember to put up the silencing spell?”

“Fuck!” Harry groaned and flicked his wrist and then nodded.

“Didn’t know you could do that wandlessly…”

“Yeah I can, but it’s not second nature so I usually grab my wand before I remember I can do it that way… my wand is way down there on the floor and you are right here… so you do the math.” Harry said with a smirk as he waggled his eyebrows.

Laughing at his lover, Jack leaned down and proceeded to nip and suckle Harry’s other nipple with just as much fervor.

Soon Harry was bucking up against Jack’s mouth and groaning loudly. “Okay, my turn…” Harry said as he flipped Jack over onto his back and proceeded to lick, nip and suck any available body part he could find, all the while making his way down Jack’s body to his target. Once he reached Jack’s cock, Harry nibbled the soft flesh under it, laved the heavy balls with his tongue and groaning at the musky smell of his lover.

“Harry you mouth should be illegal…” Jack sighed in pleasure as he tried to maneuver Harry closer to his dick.

Harry smirked and finally took the tip of Jack’s cock into his mouth, sucking the head deeply and then slowly taking more and more of its length. Soon Harry was deep throating Jack, his head bobbing up and down on the length, moaning at the blissful feeling of Jack’s heavy cock on his tongue.

At Harry’s moan Jack groaned loudly and said, “Baby, you had better stop or this is going to be over quick.”

“Don’t want that.” Harry whispered hoarsely as he let his cock slip from his mouth and worked up Jack’s body, straddling his lap. Lifting up one of Jack’s hands, Harry concentrated pointing his finger at Jack’s fingers and said, “Lubricus.” Jack’s fingers glistened in the bedroom light as the lube appeared. “Stretch me Jack…”

Jack slipped his hand down behind Harry’s ass and found the muscled entrance to Harry’s body. Pushing a finger past the ring of muscle, Jack pushed it in all the way and then pulled it back out again, this time slipping a second finger in with the first.

Harry groaned at the breach of his body, pushing back against the digits pushing back into him. Jack scissored them, slowly stretching Harry’s body, preparing it for him. Soon he slipped a third finger in and Harry cried out, “That’s good enough; please Jack… get in me now!”

“Yes sir!” Jack laughed and pulled his fingers from Harry’s body using the remaining lube to slick his cock and then wiped the excess off onto the sheet below him. Placing his hands on Harry’s hips Jack said, “Okay, baby why don’t you take the reins.”

Grinning, Harry reached behind him and positioned Jack’s cock at his entrance and then slowly seated himself on the stiff member, groaning with each inch that made its way inside him. As Jack bottomed out, Harry leaned down to place his hands on Jack’s chest and rolled his hips and smirked as Jack groaned, his hands tightening on Harry. Using his thigh muscles to lift himself up, Jack’s cock slowly slid out of Harry’s ass and then just before it was out completely Harry pushed back down onto Jack and it slid slowly back inside. He did this a few times giggling evilly each time Jack groaned at the slow pace torturing him.

“Having fun?”

“Immensely!” Harry smirked and then squeaked in surprise as Jack flipped them over.

“My turn now…” Jack grinned down at his lover and then pulled out and slammed his cock back inside Harry, his grin widening at Harry’s scream of pleasure. Thrusting deeper into his lover, their groans mingled as their orgasm slowly crept closer and closer. Sliding a hand down in between their bodies, Jack wrapped a hand around Harry’s cock and started jacking it, groaning at the mews coming from Harry.

He thrust over and over into Harry, their breaths syncing with each groan and sigh. Harry wrapped his legs around Jack’s waist and thrust his fingers into Jack’s hair, pulling him down for another searing kiss. When Jack flicked his finger around the tip of Harry’s cock, Harry ripped his mouth from Jack’s and yelled in rapture as his orgasm overtook him. His cock erupted with warm gooey cum and his body seized up in bliss. From above him Jack groaned as Harry pulled him with him, tumbling over into oblivion and shooting his seed into Harry’s waiting body.

As their bodies cooled down, Jack’s cock slipped out of Harry. Lying down beside Harry, Jack pulled him into his arms and nuzzled his messy raven locks and leaned down to kiss his Cupid’s bow lips.

“Mmmm… that was great, Jack.” Harry murmured as he laid an arm across Jack’s waist and rested his head on his lover’s sweaty chest.

Jack, his breath slowly coming back to him, nodded in agreement and smiled at Harry. “Always is with you.”

Harry smirked and then fluttered his eyelashes coyly. “Oh you flatterer you…” Snuggling closer to Jack Harry whispered, “Love you, Jack.”

“Love you too, baby.” Jack said softly as he pulled Harry in for another kiss.

A few days later Jack and Harry had SG-1, Dr. Fraiser and General Hammond over for a barbeque to celebrate Harry’s staying in America.

Everyone was outside save Harry and Jack who were in the kitchen sneaking a kiss before bring out the meat to throw on the grill. Wrapping his arms around Jack’s neck, Harry stood up on his tiptoes and pressed his lips against Jack’s. “I’m glad we did this, Arthur and Ginny need to meet more people and socialize with more than just us. It’s good for them after everything that’s happened…”

“It was a good idea…” Jack mused as he grazed his lips against Harry’s.

A throat cleared from behind them and Harry quickly pulled himself from Jack’s arms and found General Hammond watching them with an amused smile on his face. “Colonel, Harry… I just came into see if I could help bring anything out.”

“Um… General Hammond… this isn’t what it looks like…” Harry began.

“Oh, I thought it was pretty clear to me.”

“Sir… I… shit…” Jack said, but didn’t know what to say. General Hammond was his friend, but he was also his CO and he had been caught kissing another man in front of him.

“Save it Colonel, I’m not going to condemn you for loving another man, besides you won’t have to wait much longer and you’ll be able to do it freely and out in the open.”

“Sir?”

“The President has been over the last few months revising the UCMJ. As this is his second term in office and he only has a little over two years left, he feels he should go out with a bang or so he says. It won’t go into effect for a year or so as its still in the preliminary phase, but soon this won’t even be an issue.” General Hammond said with a smile.

“Thank you sir, I love the Air Force, but if it came down to it… I love Harry more.” Jack said with a thankful look on his face.

“Nothing to it, Colonel… So was there anything you needed help bringing outside?”

Harry cleared his throat and nodded. “Why don’t you take out the chips and dip for everyone to snack on while the meat is cooking.”

The older man smiled, his face softening slightly as he looked down at Harry, then nodded and took the food outside.

“Oh my god Jack…” Harry moaned as he leaned against the counter behind him. “That could have been very bad.”

“Fuck!” Jack breathed. “We’re going to have to be a little more careful until the new UCMJ takes effect…”

“Well, at least Janet is the only one who doesn’t know. We are careful in the mountain already; we’ll just have to pay closer attention when Janet is with us outside of the mountain.” Harry said.

It was quiet for a while as they looked at each other, their faces slowly morphing into full on grins.

“Jack in a year or so we won’t have to hide anymore… we can walk outside hold hands, kiss, officially live together…”

“I know baby… first thing I’m gonna do when that happens is marry you!”

“Oh yeah, who says I’ll say yes.” Harry laughed.

“Come one, who can resist this!” Jack replied gesturing to himself.

“You are pretty irresistible…” Harry murmured as his eyes dilated, eyelashes growing heavy with desire.

“Ah Ahh, none of that until we’re married mister. What do you think I am, easy?”

Twenty minutes later, Jack stood at the grill flipping the meat occasionally and trying without success to keep his eyes off his young lover as Teddy and he built a sandcastle in the sandbox there in the backyard. Harry looked amazing in a pair of old faded and ripped jeans and a plain white t-shirt. His laugh carried over the yard as Teddy dumped a bucket of sand in his lap and giggled.

It was startling how much they had come to mean to him and for a moment he felt a deep ache in his chest. Charlie and Sara had been his life for so long and when his life had fallen apart he had felt like nothing would ever mean anything again. Then he had found a purpose if not a life that meant something and for a long time that had sustained him and then a nineteen year old smart mouthed wizard had walked into his life and changed everything.

He didn’t know what he would do if he ever lost them… he knew he wouldn’t survive it, not after losing Charlie so long ago. There was war going on around them and bigger enemies turning up every day, but as long as he had them, protected them, he would be okay.
