~~~ HERMITAGE ~~~
After the McLaggens had delivered their storm warning the Blake family looked glum.
*Let’s stay in our new abode.* suggested Harry.
*Isn’t it a bit risky?* Queried Astoria.
*Probably, but we do need to see if it leaks.* he replied.
*We can always apparate if things get too problematical.* said Draco.
*If things work out, it will give us confidence in the structure we built.* Jinevra opined.
“Galvin, my guardians are having a think-talk again. I want to stay in our new house; it’d be fun, Uncles and Aunts … Please … Pretty please?”
*So be it.* “Okay Teddy, when you’re hiding at the back shivering in fright because of the storm, we’ll remind you of your decision.”
“With all four of you plus Uncle Dean here, why should I be afraid?”
“Thank you for your confidence, Young Man. Berwyn and Galvin, would you mind if we borrowed all the mattresses off the Sirius for the night, please? Also, would you mind taking the Sirius back to your anchorage for us?”
“We’ll do better than that; we’ll lend you some camp-beds and two picnic sets. If you accio your stuff from the Sirius we’ll go and get the beds etc. There’ll be time before the storm starts building. Look over there at that dark line on the horizon, that’ll be it, two to three hours away at least.”
Pop: “Can we stay as well, please? We’ve already been given our beds from Elder Kreacher’s store.”
“Of course, Reagan, you’ll be better equipped that we are.”
“Oh Mistress, we’ll sleep on the floor then.”
“No you won’t, you’ll do as you intended, okay? I was only joking.”
“Thank you, Mistress.”
###
It was a bit of a rush making sure everything was collected and moved.
One children’s room had three small beds placed in it, the other one Lilly inhabited by herself. The two single rooms had Dean and Teddy as guests, with the four seers in their respective double rooms downstairs.
When the McLaggen brothers had returned with the beds etc, they had brought with them a portable cooker and some lanterns as well. The elves had been busy and had laid in a stock of food and bottles of water because Draco did not think their supply would have cleansed itself yet. It would be alright for washing, but safety suggested drinking bottled or magically cleansed water for the next few days.
The Sirius disappeared the same way she had come, neither of the McLaggens wishing to try their hand at the Scours Passage, especially with the wind freshening. The voyage only took three-quarters of an hour, because there was no need for the long tack out to sea, also the wind was brisker.
Draco kept watch, until he saw the tip of the sail approaching the anchorage. He could see the pennant and top two feet over the ridge of Holm Island, but did not wait to see them land because the wind was rapidly becoming very strong.
~~~ STORM ~~~
When Draco came in, he found Ginevra on child duty, so he carefully locked the child gates on the veranda before closing the doors. The child gates matched the railings between the pillars, which followed the pattern of a piece of bridge rail from the flotsam. The doors effectively stopped eddies of wind, and despite the front being open, there was little disturbance inside.
“Have you cast a calming charm, Ginny?”
“No, whichever muggle planned this site planned it well, didn’t they?”
Draco agreed and then went to assist with the plumbing and installation of basins etc. The four elves were busy around the camping stove preparing a meal and defending the hot utensils from inquisitive children. The meal was slightly late, not that it mattered overmuch. Dean was the last to appear, having completed the connections to all the taps. As they sat down the rain began; by the end of the meal it was impossible to see either of the islands across the sound. It was also difficult to hear because of the howling wind.
There were a few drips which allowed Dean to hold an impromptu ‘Aqua Divertio’ class. Firstly, finding the holes and then sealing them.
“We need a name for this place,” said Astoria, when they all had gathered once again, “And it should be agreed before we go to sleep, or the old ghosts will haunt us.”
“It’s like one of those places where monks used to go to be solitary,” suggested Teddy: “Father John was telling us about Godric, not so long ago, he was a hermit, wasn’t he.”
“Well done, Teddy; how about the Harco Hermitage?” proposed Harry.
“OOH YES!” everyone agreed. Draco cast the naming spell. And so it was.
###
Because the young ones were frightened by the thunder Astoria took them to bed and Draco read stories to them until they went to sleep. He reported later that the sound of the tempest was quite muted under the stone roof.
“It will be quieter once we have the internal doors made and fixed,” Ginevra observed.
“I’ve put the children’s window-eyes to sleep as well,” added Astoria: “So that the lightening doesn’t wake them up.
Whilst Astoria and Draco were settling the youngest; Harry had sat James on his knee. To try and alleviate his older son’s fears they started to play a guessing game as to where the next flash would be. It also provided a counting lesson in between flash and thunderclap. James was reluctant to leave the game once his bedtime came, which the seers felt was a good sign of the child overcoming his fears.
Then it was time for the adults to study their mosaic floor:
It was bordered by a double line of deep terracotta tiles, between which were alternate grass-green and sea-blue tiles. These enclosed four panels, each with a depiction of a God or Goddess surrounded by a wreath of leaves. There was only one fully clothed depiction; her garland was of holly and berries. She was standing on a whitish floor. Winter, everyone thought. The next one was obviously male above the low-slung draperies; he was surrounded by daffodils and cherry blossom and was therefore Spring. He had the sun and two cavorting pink dolphins as his sign. The summer lady was under the moon and stars decoration. She had sheaves of corn as well.
“Those stars represent two constellations: the pan with the bent handle is Ursa Major, and the ‘W’ of Cassiopeia,” remarked Ginevra.
Autumn stood on a cornucopia of fruit, plus a neat depiction of a Satyr with an overflowing wine-cup. His surrounding decoration was of vines and grapes.
Once they had finished discussing their treasure the adults followed their children into the arms of Morpheus.
~~~ DAWNING ~~~
Draco and Harry woke as the Friday dawn began to show through their magic window. Draco blearily registered a clean bright sky and asked their window-eye to close its eyelid. Not wishing to rise just then, an amount of amorous exploring took place. It started with stroking and slowly built up into a full session, causing the coverings to slip onto the floor.
They were at it doggy fashion, with Draco pounding Harry’s arse and neither of them curbing their passionate urgings of the other. In the middle of the amorous adventure Harry had the feeling that they were not alone and managed to peek under his armpit. There stood Teddy with his small appurtenance at full mast. His eyes were wide, his mouth agape, and two fingers massaging his erection.
*Teddy’s watching us,* sent Harry in a Draco only thought.
*So he is, it’s bigger than mine was at that age.*
*Mine was a little bigger, I think … I can’t stop I’m nearly there.* Harry let out a gasp of fulfilment and squirted his seed onto the sheets.
Draco howled quietly as his fulfilment came, a second later. He hugged his partner and looked at Young Lupin: “I thought we said our lovemaking was private, Teddy.”
“Yes Uncle, you did. But there was so much noise coming from your room I thought someone was in trouble. I would have called the Aunties if there had been. You do it like the bull did to the cow, don’t you? Does it feel nice to have his cock in your bum-hole, Uncle Harry?”
Harry giggled: “Yes, Teddy, more than just nice. Our magics tingle every time, and each of us knows how to make the feeling special for the other. As I said before, it gets better as you grow up.”
“Could Jamie and I do that?” By this time Teddy had lost his stiffy; he was in questioning mode again.
“It probably would not be a very nice feeling. And you would need to be very careful not to hurt each other. There is no way that you must force each other to do what the other doesn’t want. Do you understand that, Teddy?”
“Yes Uncle, that would be rape, wouldn’t it. Something the nasty death-eaters used to do. I wouldn’t want to hurt Jamie and I’d not want him to hurt me. Does it hurt, Uncle Harry?”
“Occasionally, when we aren’t attending to the other’s feelings; we use an oil to help things slide in and out properly and there is a special place we aim for to give that extra thrill. I’m not sure whether yours has developed yet”
“Is that what I can smell?”
“No Teddy, that’s our seed: the stuff that would combine with one of the Auntie’s eggs to make a child inside her.”
“Did you put your seed into Aunty Ginny to make her pregnant, Uncle Harry?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“Good … Erm … How soon is breakfast?”
“As soon as everyone is up, washed and ready.”
“Do you want me to wake everyone?”
“Why. Do you want to?”
“Not really, the Aunties look at me funnily if I go into their room. Anyway, I like you two best.”
“How about I go and teach you how to cast a heating charm on the shower-tank and then you can have a hot shower?” suggested Draco.
“That’s what I was going to ask you to do, but then I found you having fun. Yes please.”
Draco arose, and Teddy inspected the half hard member: “Will mine grow as big as that?”
“It will grow much bigger than it is at the moment, just as you grow taller. Some of it will depend on how much magic you have. Now you are at Hogwarts you measure your penis twice a term, it’s called gauging. In that way you can see how your magic is growing too. Our cocks are bigger than normal because we have a lot of magic in our cores.”
“Yes I know. That’s when Jamie and I found we liked doing it to each other. You’ve got hair there, I haven’t got much.”
“When it starts to grow, that’s when you’ll start to feel the extra thrills, not immediately, but very soon afterwards.”
“Ooh, good … Do you have a potion to make that happen, Uncle Draco.”
“Sorry, Teddy; it’s best to let your body tell you when that time is approaching. Uncle Harry developed his nearly two years before I did, so don’t be surprised if some people start growing hair before you, even if you are about the same age.”
“Mmm … Thanks … How about that hot shower, please?”
Once in the shower room, Draco showed Teddy how to cast the charm and Teddy started to enjoy his shower. Draco left him to it.
Harry was chuckling when Draco returned: *Well, that’s got another hurdle or two jumped. I still find it difficult when he questions us like that.*
*Having a door on the room instead of a pinned-up blanket will help. But it’s best to treat things normally if we can. I agree, I find it difficult too. I just hope we don’t give him too many hang-ups.*
*Well, we are following the medi-mage’s advice. My Uncle never told me anything about procreation. He used to slap my penis when it went hard.*
*Yes, I remember you telling me about it plus the hot and cold showers. My father was just as non-communicative. I think it was one of the elves that told me. I soon learned much more when Voldie came along … Some of it very nasty.*
Harry got out of the bed and they cleaned up the mess, straightening the bedclothes and then waiting for Teddy to finish his shower.
“Hi Uncles, I’ve finished now … Are you two going to shower together?”
“We normally do, yes!”
“Do you do it in the shower as well?”
“Sometimes, when the mood takes us, but not just now thank you,” Draco looked at the boy meaningfully: “We’d prefer not to have an audience either.”
“Yes Uncle … Shall I go and inspect the cistern to see if the storm has filled it?”
“If you want to, yes.”
Teddy went off leaving Draco and Harry to wash each other under the shower. Almost too soon Astoria and Ginevra were in the queue. So, whilst they showered Draco and Harry went to see to the needs of the younger members of the family.
As they sat down for the meal Teddy said: “There is not much more water running down the leat. With all the rain I thought there would be a flood.”
“Did you go and look at the marsh?”
“Yes, I checked the leat in case something had blocked it. The marsh was very squelchy when I got there.”
“That proves what I said, Teddy. The marsh is like a sponge and only allows so much water out at a time. “How was the cistern?”
“About three quarters full, it looked as if it had been fuller. I suppose it was all the showers we had.”
###
Over breakfast and amount of planning took place. Door making, sods for the roof, fix the alcove for the cooking stove, finish the drains, and all the little finishing touches which, even with the speed of magic, would take up most of the day.
Next was the business of furniture and furnishings. Beds and bunks were procured from Kreacher’s store and bedside mats went into each bedroom. The four elves became enthusiastically involved, lightening the load on the mages.
Teddy was developing a proprietorial attitude towards the water system. It was something the seers did not want to discourage; feeling that it would be a good way for him to learn about responsibility. The result was that Dean took the young Lupin under his wing and they spent quite a bit of the day with pipes and filters trying to make the cloaca flush properly.
###
After tea Astoria cast some growing charms on the newly sodded roof whilst Ginevra spent her time encouraging the rose trees to twine round the pillars. The female seers’ efforts were aimed at making it almost impossible to see the Hermitage from either Laggen Isle or the slightly nearer Holm Island.
###
Mackerel salad was part of the evening meal; partaken on the beach in the cooler evening sunshine.
“These small tomatoes are delicious, Reagan, where did you find them?”
“In the midden, Mistress. We started to clear it out this afternoon; but decided not to go any further. There is a tangle of all kinds of food plants down there; all the kinds of plants that rely on small seeds to start growing. Our theory is that the seeds passed through people, down the drain and have re-seeded many times since then. The nutrients in the spoil help them to grow; adding water just enhanced the process. The fruit for gooseberry fool for dessert came from the same source.”
Draco chuckled: “Well … Recycling is becoming all the rage … Now we’re putting it into practice. So, if we eat melon and you throw the seeds into the midden, we might have melon next year.”
“It’s quite possible, Master. The climate here is very mild. We think we’ve seen a small pineapple plant but it’s nowhere near ripe yet. It could be some other plant with similar leaves. We’re just going to make trenches to siphon the effluent all over the patch.”
“Don’t go too far, Reagan, please. We want the place to look unkempt. If we have straight bean-rows it will advertise our presence here. We aim to have a retreat to be away from people except the very close family.”
“Yes Mistress, that’s why we stopped clearing the tangle, the channels will be made beneath the plants, without disturbing them too much. We can create low elf-high pathways that way too, so as to be able to harvest the produce.”
“Uncle Dean has shown me which plants act as filters, so I’ll be replanting a few in the midden as well,” Teddy put in.
They all had an early night, being tired out after their exertions.
~~~ SLOOP SIRIUS ~~~
Dean had already departed to spend Saturday with Seamus when the household became compos mentis. Showers preceded breakfast which was followed by a broomstick visit from Berwyn.
“How did the new house stand up to the storm?”
“Very well thank you. Dean taught us a sealing charm for the odd drips that plopped through. How is the Sirius?”
“Quite safe, thanks,” replied Berwyn, “That’s what I came to see you about. Do you have any plans to use it further?”
“Why do you ask?”
“The Smiling Ones would like to take their fiancées out for the weekend on the Sirius if it’s vacant.”
“Are they at the Lodge?”
“Yes; they arrived hoping to use a couple of tents, but when they saw the Sirius moored at our jetty, they wondered why you weren’t using it. We said that you had returned it yesterday, which was stretching the truth slightly. Galvin’s taking his time, showing them around the boat whilst I pleaded another urgent job.”
“I think we’d better say we don’t need it, don’t you. Otherwise we’ll have to make another excuse. Yours seems fairly watertight; just keep them away from Long Island, please.”
“We have suggested that they visit Tresco, that’s north of here.”
“Yes … Sophie and Thomasine love garden plants, so that’ll be right up their street,” Astoria observed: “That was one of the places I had hoped to visit this holiday.”
“We still can if you want to.”
“What about meeting the Smiling Ones?”
“We can go after the weekend’s over.”
“Oh … So you’re planning another week, are you?”
“I wasn’t really planning anything; just getting used to the idea that we have no commitments.”
“We have lots of those; just no timetable.”
“Before you lot start a long discussion I’d better get back and tip my brother the wink.”
“Okay Berwyn, thanks for warning us, Cheerio.”
“See you tomorrow, perhaps; Tim’s coming over to conduct a midday, open-air service on our patio, followed by a picnic – Bye!”
Berwyn mounted and flew off; leaving the Blake family sorting out their priorities and playing with their children.
###
There was little to report about the rest of Saturday, the Blakes were supra lazy, except for the bare essentials to keep the children on an even keel. Teddy inveigled Draco to circumnavigate the island, partly by walking and the rest by swimming, however they were scrupulous in keeping inside the wards – Teddy’s ward-bruises showing up if they started to stray.
###
The Sunday service gave the seers the impetus to start planning. This, coupled with the onset of a cloud belt, had them returning via the portals to Chantry Cottage for the night. Back in the world, they had their normal lectures and meetings to attend plus the extras; covering for people who had covered for them during the week previous. As well as that, Draco had a ‘Severus Lecture’ to give to the Guild of Potioneers, Harry was due to teach in the Aurorbunker, Ginevra was specialling a Quidditch team at Cerroverde, and Astoria had a date with the Italian professors trying to reach an agreed syllabus on European History of Magic as seen from an Italio/iberian point of view.
They intended spending some of the Halloween holiday at the Hermitage, but something else intruded.
~~~ ABDUCTION ~~~
The seers had spent a fairly relaxing couple of days at the Hermitage using some of the time to visit the merpeople. Harry’s Principals’ meeting had gone smoothly, with just a couple of kinks to sort out to ensure that no-one’s professors grabbed all the work or vice-versa were not snowed under by volunteers. The heads, between themselves, were fairly pleased with the swapping procedures. Although they agreed that certain self-aggrandising tutors needed to be watched. They also started to discuss which professor was most suitable for which grade of student, but they realised that it would be a very nasty can-of-worms to open; putting that decision off until later.
###
The seers plus Dean and Seamus spent a jolly two hours, after the fire jumping ceremony, charming more pairs of cabinets. They had found that cabinet charming worked best between pairs of gay lovers and that a red pair could also charm cabinets. Although the seers were needed to create portals and posterns from linked cabinets.
###
Three or four days later a very polite elf came to see the seers: “Minister Weasley and Chief Shacklebolt present their greetings and ask if you could attend them soonest on a very delicate matter.”
“You three go,” said Ginevra: “Dad’ll understand about me looking after the kids.”
So it was that three seers went to see Arthur and Kingsley.
###
“Morning, Uncle, morning Kingsley; tell us what it’s about, please?”
Kingsley cast some intricate privacy charms then Arthur started:
“Your Dad’s been at it again, Draco. This time he’s abducted someone well-known in the muggle world and is making demands that this person’s estate hands over one of the Maldives Kays. Now this is being developed into a green-energy resort and both the British and American governments want it to prosper.”
“So they can copy it?”
“Yes Draco, but they cannot afford to be seen to be supporting a millionaire film-star’s resort, for quite obvious political reasons.”
“There’s another side to it also,” added Kingsley: “The governments concerned have at last managed to get a high-powered green meeting about tigers. It took ages to get the Russians to agree and if this person doesn’t make an appearance the whole thing is likely to disintegrate. Their president wishes to talk, person to person, so it seems. On top of that there is a Chinese cartel of the less scrupulous wanting to scupper the talks.”
Draco smirked: “Nice to know the muggle world has its divisions as well as us, isn’t it?”
Arthur scowled at Draco and continued: “Before you ask ‘why us’ Harry. Because a mage, or group of mages, appear to have caused this problem the leaders of both nations are looking to us mages to solve the problem. In fact, the muggle prime minister was fairly scathing in his remarks.”
Harry chuckled: “I can imagine, it too. So, because of our high security rating, we’re being asked?”
“There’s more to this as well, isn’t there Kingsley. Could it be that the governments concerned wish to keep it at arms-length. So, if things go pear-shaped, they can say they were not involved?”
“Got it in one! There’s also another nuance. There’s a suspicion that he shares the same outlook as you two.”
“We suspect that the Chinese cartel is putting pressure on the Russians, so they need a face-saving way to be seen to be pressured into, after all, a wise decision.”
“Fine, Uncle … I see … Where do we start?”
“In Heathrow airport. We know he was on the plane from America and it stopped over for an hour or so. Something about fire alarms in the engines. The problem was sorted, but when it came to take off our chappie was missing,” Arthur told them.
“It’s going to be difficult tracing him; hundreds of people pass through that airport every day.”
“It’s easier than that, he was in a VIP suite when he disappeared, and it’s been sealed off. Here are the co-ordinates. They’re expecting you.”
“Are they muggles?”
“Yes!”
“What about the Statute of Secrecy?”
“Like in the Village, certain muggles are in the know. They have the highest security ratings, just as you seers have.”
“Fine … Let’s go!”
“Just a minute Harry. Erm … Astoria, would you mind staying here as an anchor person? It’d be useful if you could pass messages, wouldn’t it. If things move into Europe, then we’ll move you so as to keep the link.”
The suggestion was so obviously sensible, that the seers agreed immediately.
Draco and Harry went off to the Ministry apparition circle.
