Chapter 31
By March, Adrian was revising for his NEWTS and Blaise for his OWLS…
Blaise was surprised when there seemed to be an odd flu epidemic happening starting in March and going into April.
He practically lived on chocolate…
His temper was shorter then usual and he felt more emotional…
During a moment of weakness he agreed to elope with Adrian on the last day of term.
Instead of boarding the Hogwarts' Express, they would floo from the Three Broomsticks to the International Floo Centre. From which they would take the first floo to Scamander…
He regretted agreeing because he knew that it would hurt Adrian in the end but he was glad that Adrian hadn't give up on him…
He loved his mate more then anything…
While their eloping wouldn't hurt Giselle, Daphne would…
How would she take having her cousin 'steal' him away?
XoooooX
Blaise was just finishing his Numerology exam when he was tapped on the shoulder.
"Professor?"
"You're finished? Good, Consort Lovegood was sent to fetch you. He's waiting in the corridor." Professor Marchmanks said quietly.
Blaise frowned even as he handed his exam to the proctor, silently he rose, he was grateful he didn't bring anything into the exam with him.
He made his way to the corridor and was surprised to see a vaguely familiar blonde wizard.
"Xenos Lovegood, my wife Demeter is…was Daphne's aunt. I heard rumours that a match between you is being discussed."
Blaise sighed, "Rumours aren't always true. You remind me of Draco's father."
The man flinched, "Lucius is my brother." He handed a sealed bit of parchment to him.
Blaise noted that the seal was made in blood.
The note said that Draco had requested him, that he was being asked to serve him as a witness at his bonding and that his discretion was needed. He was to leave the castle with Xenos Lovegood.
Blaise swallowed, "I'll need to retrieve proper robes from the dormitory and I will be bringing a date."
Xenos gave him a dreamy looking smile, "As long as it is someone that Lucius would trust."
Blaise glowered, "Draco is my purported best friend and if he trusts me enough to request my presence then he can trust me in regards to my choice in guest."
Xenos nodded, "I'll go fetch my Luna. We'll meet you outside the Oak Doors where the carriages stop."
Blaise sniffed, "Very well."
Then he went to find Adrian, he would not attend Draco's bonding without his mate.
XoooooX
Adrian frowned, "What do you mean Draco's to be bonded? Surely it would have been announced in the Prophet. Purebloods always announce engagements in the Prophet."
Blaise had grabbed his robes and chosen to send an elf for his mate while he made his way to Adrian's Head Boy suite. He shrugged, "I showed you the note and that's all I know. While I would like to refuse the request, we both know that no one else can be trusted."
Adrian sighed, "I see your point…are you sure that I can come with you?"
Blaise snorted, "I don't care if you can, a witness is allowed a companion and I choose you. I don't really care if I'm expected to attend with Daphne, I won't do so. "
Adrian kissed him, he was proud that Blaise would make such a choice when it took months of begging and pleading for Blaise to finally give him the answer they both wanted…
They dressed quickly and then left both Adrian's Head Boy apartment as well as Slytherin proper before making their way up to the large oak front doors where Blaise planned to meet consort Lovegood and Miss Lovegood.
To both of their surprise, also waiting was Dowager Lady Longbottom and the future Lord Longbottom…
"Neville!" the diminutive blonde said ecstatically.
Longbottom greeted her with a fond embrace and expression. "Luna! Gran said you'd be joining us." Then he noticed them, "Pucey and Zabini isn't it? Why do I have a sinking suspicion that we're being summoned for similar reasons?"
Blaise blinked, "That maybe so but this is hardly the place to discuss such a possibility."
The group consisting of Adrian, Blaise, Luna Lovegood, her father, Longbottom and his grandmother left Hogwarts proper and made their way towards Hogsmeade where they portkeyed to Longbottom's home to wait for the summoning to the bonding's location.
XoooooX
Consort Xenos Lovegood arrived via Dowager Lady Longbottom's portkey with his daughter Luna and Blaise who were dressed in beautiful clothes. Luna was wearing a brilliant yellow dress that shimmered like sunlight. Blaise was wearing a dark suit that looked tight and a cloak that was covered in silver snakes. Xeno Lovegood wore a silver poet's shirt and trousers with a blue cloak. Adrian Pucey who was unexpected accompanied Blaise but it was ignored just as Blaise had hoped.
The Greengrasses arrived as a family with the exception of the absence of the middle daughter Maia.
Daphne was wearing a clinging dress of green silk. Her sister Asteria was in a similar style but it was cornflower blue. Their father and mother were wearing complimentary outfits but their mother was more fetching, which made sense since Adrian's uncle Titus was a consort like Xenos Lovegood and Madam Aurora was the Head of the House of Greengrass. Dowager Madam
Neville's face split with a grin when he offered his arm to Luna. He was looking more relaxed then most of the guests had ever seen. Neville was wearing a flattering suit and a scarlet cape that bore the crest of Gryffindor. His grandmother wore dove grey robe frock that was cut in a flattering style. She wore a hat with a large bird of paradise on it but she looked proud of her grandson.
Neville Longbottom seemed to have noticed a chestnut hair witch and called out pleasantly, "Aunt Andromeda."
The witch nodded at him in greeting, "Neville, how wonderful to see you. I was quite pleased when I heard that Harry had chosen you."
Longbottom beamed, "I was surprised and pleased too."
Luna grinned, "I knew he trusted us!"
Lady Narcissa Malfoy was attired in a fashionable suit that was silver with green accented. Lucius was dressed in a high collared black suit and his usual style of robe. This was his formal attire; it bore the crest of the Malfoy Family.
Susan Bones of Hufflepuff accompanied her Aunt Emelia; they were wearing matching buttercup yellow dress suits. They made their similar features more apparent. Emelia was wearing a cloak that bore the family crest.
They weren't the only surprise guests aside from Adrian; the troublesome Weasley twins were also present.
Their former Defence professor Remus Lupin was wearing a seat of old-fashioned dress robes that seemed to have been raided from someone's closet.
Their Head of Slytherin House Severus Snape had arrived in an outfit that stunned everyone; he hadn't shown up in his customary plain black robes. Nor was his hair in its customary fashion. If he hadn't been in the robes of Lord Prince he might not have been recognized.
While Professor Snape didn't pay much attention to his status as a Lord, persons like Adrian himself knew it…
Blaise wouldn't have recognized him if he hadn't smelled the same as always. Professor Snape's hair fell in soft waves and he was more pale then sallow. He was surprising handsome for a 'dungeon bat', Ron Weasley's words not Blaise or Adrian's. they respected their Potion's teacher far too much to use such phrases to describe him.
Draco wore a pure white robe over a black suit that was similar in style to his father. He entered the Great Room and strode confidently towards the Bonding Altar.
Blaise and Daphne left the crowd and took their places beside him.
There was something distinctly different about Draco and his father, the both smelt like Veela and Blaise sensed they were using Glamours. The magic radiating off them was intense.
All talking stopped when Draco turned towards the door…
Standing there in a golden robe that bore the Potter crest was Harry Potter. He was glowing; few had ever seen him so happy.
Draco appeared stunned, as he held out his hand and smiled at Harry.
When Potter shyly entered; he ignored the others, for he seemed to have eyes only for Draco.
Azkaban Escapee Sirius Black was dressed as Lord of the House of Black; his hand was gripping a dragon headed cane. He gripped it in his left hand and raised his right in greeting. "We are here as witnesses to the most unlikely Bonding, that of my godson Harry Potter and my cousin' only son Draco Malfoy. Harry, the son of my best friend growing up and a talented witch who was his soul mate. I was blessed to be present when he was born. Harry is now blessed already with their first children. You are all witnesses to this private Bonding." he turned to Draco first because in this Bonding Harry was joining the Malfoy family, "Do you Draconis Lucius Malfoy take Herodotus James Potter to be bonded one to another? To guide, comfort, provide and to care for his children? To be equals and partners?"
There were a few gasps of shock at that question. The line that should have been said was: 'His wealth will be your wealth and your wealth his. Which meant what was Harry's was Draco's and what was Draco's was his. As the 'dominate partner' Draco should have 'owned' everything.
"I do, I promise to guide, comfort, provide and care for the children he bears. I promise we shall be equal partners. What is yours shall be yours and what is mine shall be mine. What is ours is ours " A silent promise he'd been keeping from the day they first found out about their sons. His father had taught him from an early age that to a Malfoy, to be Bonded meant to cherish; to treat with respect, to provide for, to honour and protect. Things Harry deserved more then anything…especially in light of his treatment by his Muggle relations.
"Do you Herodotus James Potter take Draconis Lucius Malfoy to be bonded one to another? To guide, comfort, provide and to care for his children? To support him and stand with him?"
Harry blushed, "I do. I promise to guide, comfort, provide and care for the children he sires. I promise to support him and stand with him?"
Lucius stepped forwards with the Gringotts' Bonding contract while Neville, Luna Daphne and Blaise signed as witnesses. It didn't matter that neither of them were an adult, this was a Blood and Magic based Bonding. The one that would be held later would be a legal one that would be filed with the Ministry after the children was born and by Harry's seventeenth birthday. Among purebloods, inheritances were handled through Gringotts more often then the Ministry.
Harry and Draco signed the contract, magic leapt from the parchment entwining around their wrists with silver and gold chains.
Draco said quietly, "Bound to one another by magic that shall never be torn asunder." the magic flickered but the connection between them was stronger then before that transformed to rings.
Lucius removed the wand from his cane and held out it out as Andromeda sealed the scroll, "Let us bless the couple…"
"As it is written…so mote it be…" the chorus was taken up with raised wands that showered the couple with gold and silver sparks.
Luna Lovegood hugged Harry immediately after they all signed, "I'm so happy for you. I know he makes you very happy."
Harry's choice of witnesses should have stunned them; most would have expected him to insist on his best friends Granger and Weasley…
Since he was bonding to Draco of all people, it made sense considering the animosity between those two and Draco. For some reason he'd felt that he should ask Luna Lovegood, when he'd mentioned her as a possibility he'd learned that she like Tonks was born to a disowned pureblood. Luna however was a pureblood while Tonks was a Halfblood like himself.
Draco had chosen Blaise, Blaise knew he had been Draco's closest friend and he most assuredly disliked Pansy. Blaise wondered if he was chosen because paid lip service to the pureblood cause but wasn't supportive of the Death Eater's cause. As a first generation Slytherin and a dual citizen of the Italian and Basque Ministries, he had refused to be involved in British Wizarding Politics. Likely Draco had picked Daphne because a four witness contract was stronger then a two witness one.
As neutrals their witnesses were excellent choices.
Ron Weasley would be doubly furious, not only did he hate Draco with a vengance, but he lumped all Slytherins with Draco and considered them treacherous, slimy and loathsome. Arrogant git!
Blaise was surprised to see Harry rest a hand on his stomach then Draco pulled him close and gave a toe-curling kiss.
Harry pressed himself to Draco; seemingly trying not to smash his stomach against their fellow Slytherin but he apparently couldn't help it.
Andromeda clapped her hands.
Draco broke the kiss and glared at her.
Andromeda chuckled, "Give the others time to congratulate you both. Then we will go to supper. After supper you may leave for the bridal chamber."
Draco scowled but he kept a claiming arm around Harry.
Harry stayed snuggled into Draco's side but was content to shake hands with their guests until he saw the Weasley twins.
He squealed, "Fred! George!" he wiggled away from Draco and threw himself at Fred.
Fred caught him and spun him around. "Hey there little brother."
George ruffled his hair. "You actually think we wouldn't come?"
Harry turned red, "I was afraid to ask. I know you aren't fond of Draco. He was responsible for us getting banned from Quidditch for life."
Lucius snorted, "Her pronouncements are illegal. Her conduct is illegal and it shall be dealt with. She had no right to do any of the things I have heard she has. I'm filing charges on behalf of Harry soon and I'm sure more will be filed when Parents are informed at the next Governors' Meeting. Let's not spoil their Bonding with unhappy tidings."
Fred and George exchanged glances.
Fred put Harry down and held out his hand, "I guess we're family. So we'd better start off on the right foot. My name is Fredrick Maris Weasley, fourth son of Mary and Arcturus Weasley."
Lucius was impressed; he hadn't thought that Arcturus' children had any knowledge of manners.
George took his cue off his twin, "George Caius Weasley, fifth born son of Arcturus and Mary Weasley."
Lucius shook both their hands, "Lucius Abraxus, Lord of the House of Malfoy. Firstborn of Abraxus Malfoy and Aelia formerly of the House of Pucey."
Harry grinned he was happy that at least some of his friends and family seemed happy for him.
Neville and Luna seemed inseparable; Neville was mingling and actually introduced Luna to his formidable grandmother with pride with his hand resting gently on Luna's slim forearm.
Sirius Black snuck up on Harry and wrapped him in a bear hug, "So how does it feel to be Harry, the mated man?"
Harry blushed, "It's nice…"
Black poked his stomach, "You take care of your papa. Unc…"
Harry put a hand on his arm, "Grandpa."
Black's eyes sparkled after the shock wore off, "Grandpa?"
Harry nodded, "You and Remus are the closest things to dads I've got. Someone has to play with them. I bet I used to crawl all over Snuffles and pull on his ears and tail."
Black swallowed, "You used to pull on Prongs' tail as well and grab his horns. You loved it when we did that."
After Draco and Harry we congratulated by all of their guests Dippy arrived in a clean tea towel.
"Dinner is being ready."
They followed Dippy to the Dining room, where the long mahogany table was set with Black china and silver for the exact number of guests. It was filled with food: there were large salads, a platter of baked chicken, a roast beef, steamed broccoli and other delicious smelling things that Harry didn't recognize.
Black took his place at the head of the table and Lucius at the foot.
Every place was labelled in silver script on a green card.
Harry and Draco were on Black's right, while Andromeda, her bonded, Lupin and Snape were on his left.
The Longbottoms were seated next to the Lovegoods while the Weasleys and Nymphadora Tonks were seated with Greengrasses.
Someone had been rather curious and placed Emelia at Lucius' right and Narcissa at his left.
There was much conversation about how surprising the bonding was, the guest choice, the witnesses chosen and how stunning Harry looked.
Draco appeared quite impatient to carry Harry off but he seemed to recognize the need for refreshment and sustenance.
Andromeda didn't wait for dessert before leaving her place and moving to make sure Harry was quite alright before casting some spell.
The pheromones Lucius and Draco were giving off made Blaise's nose twitch.
Andromeda put her hand on Draco's shoulder and leaned over to whisper, "You can take Harry now." She clapped her hands, "I believe it is time for the newly Bonded couple to depart."
The guests rose and clapped calling out their congratulations.
Andromeda seemed to observe that Luna Lovegood, George Weasley, Susan Bones, and his Blaise more closely then Adrian was comfortable…
Draco lifted Harry in his arms and smirked, "This will be a night you will never forget Harry."
Harry blushed, but seemed too enthralled to say anything in response.
Once the couple had departed the guests returned to their meal.
All but Andromeda who made her way to Luna, "Lady Luna might I speak with you in private?"
Luna raised an eyebrow, but she silently nodded and dabbed her mouth with her serviette.
Neville moved to slide her chair back but let her leave with his 'aunt' likely his godmother without a whisper of protest. He waited a few heartbeats before following them out to the corridor.
It didn't take long for them to return, with Longbottom fussing like a mother hen.
Andromeda left them only to move onto the younger Weasley twin, she tapped him on the shoulder. "Can I speak with you?"
George nodded, finishing his pumpkin juice and rising.
Adrian's brow furrowed, he was only slightly distracted from noticing Daphne's despondent eyes at his appearance. While his Aunt Aurora would only be irritated at his pouching Blaise, Daphne would be hurt, for all her intelligence his cousin had yet to realise that Blaise was bent and a submissive at that.
When Andromeda returned it was sans Weasley and she glanced from Madam Bones to his Blaise before making her way to Emelia's chair and tapped her on the shoulder, "Emelia may I speak to you and your niece privately?"
Lucius glared at her.
Emelia looked startled, she glanced at her niece eyes widening and let out a stammer of a reply before rising, "Of course healer. Come Susan."
Andromeda returned seven minutes later without either Bones witch.
XoooooX
Andromeda had no sooner entered the Dining Room than Blaise's guardian Lucius met her.
"Where is Emelia? Why did you hurry her away?" Lucius' harsh voice reached Blaise's keen ears.
Andromeda sighed, "Get a grip on yourself or I shall not share my news."
Lucius glared, "Very well."
"She received some news, some of it shocking and some made her quite pleased. It would be safe to say that another pregnancy, this time a single girl was discovered. I believe since she was clearly focused on her studies and had no significant other she merely dismissed any signs that would have pointed to pregnancy. It happens. Especially in cases such as these, we have two pregnant witches and two wizards, I can find no correlation other than that they were clearly interested in someone they felt they had no chance with. With your permission I would like to examine your ward."
Lucius glanced over at Blaise and Blaise felt a shiver of wariness, "Draco said he seemed to be focusing on his studies and had no time for relationships."
"Draco saw merely what Blaise no doubt wanted him to see. You mentioned that his mother was interested in a relationship between him and Lady Daphne. If he leaned another way would she have listened?"
Lucius shook his head, "Not likely. She has forgotten what it is like to be a young Veela. Since the death of his father she has come to believe that all relationships are transient and that no one can complete one."
Then Draco's father approached Blaise.
Blaise rose reluctantly, "What do you need Lord Malfoy?"
"A few moments of your time son." Lucius said quietly.
Adrian started to rise.
Lucius gripped his shoulder, "No need for us to spoil your dinner. We will return shortly."
Lucius escorted him to the Large Parlour.
"Is there a reason I have been taken from my evening meal sir?"
"This healer would like to examine you."
Blaise sniffed, "I would like to refuse. I am a private person and I am not comfortable with the idea."
"We can do this in a completely magical manner that will allow you to remain clothed." Andromeda said politely.
Lucius nodded, "That is agreeable."
Andromeda cast a myriad spells before finally announcing her findings. "It seems that young Master Zabini is indeed pregnant. He is approximately five months along, though he's relatively healthy for not having proper treatment throughout his pregnancy. I would say that he is most likely due in early August. A nine-month gestation period is as usual unwise and he will most likely deliver just past the seven-month mark."
"The sire?" Lucius asked.
"My mate. It couldn't be anyone else. We always used protection so I don't see how I could have conceived." Blaise whispered, his hands shaking as if they couldn't actually be made to touch his stomach. He had a glamour that hid his Veela traits but he never expected that glamour to hide an entire pregnancy…
"You bear the echo of an incubus. No doubt it used Adrian's seed to impregnate you as well as ensure conception. If you would like to verify Adrian's status as sire…"
Blaise turned to Lucius; "If it is Adrian's does that mean I can't be forced to Bond to Daphne? I don't want to be with anyone but my mate…" he would not permit his sons to be taken from his mate and blood adopted by Daphne no matter what their respective parents wanted.
Lucius sighed, "Yes, that is if his parents are agreeable. I will do my best to speak on your behalf to Tiberius. I don't see how it would be a problem. There has not been twins in the Pucey line for a few generations."
Andromeda cast the spell just to be sure…
To Blaise's relief the spell said:
Bearer: Blaise Gabriel Zabini
Sire: Hadrian Justice Pucey
Andromeda cast a spell that created a 3-D image above the half-Italian, half-Basque Veela's abdomen. "See two, twin sons." She snapped a few photos using the charm, before handing them to him. "He's expecting twin boys, same as Harry. I think you'll enjoy these."
"Sons? Adrian will never be able to resist me now…" the words escaped Blaise's lips before he realised what he'd said. He dropped his glamour and the platinum vine decorated engagement ring was visible on his left hand.
He hurried away from them and made his way back to the dining room where he forgot all propriety. Blaise knocked aside his own chair and reached for Adrian's chin pulling him into a passion-filled kiss.
Adrian blinked before surrendering and kissing him back.
There were exclamations of horror and disbelief at his behaviour but Blaise didn't care.
When they parted, Adrian had eyes only for Blaise…
"What was that for?"
Blaise pressed his lips to the shell of Adrian's ear, "You're going to be a father…"
Adrian was quiet as if he were struck dumb before he embraced him, "How?"
Blaise blushed, "I'll tell you when we're alone."
"Even knowing your mother's feelings on the matter of your future spouse and Adrian's expected betrothal you dare pursue him?" Madam Greengrass said stiffly.
Adrian glared at her, "Actually Aunt Aurora I was the one that pursued him. He tried to tell me that our loving one another was folly because you and our parents meant us for other persons. I told him that wouldn't matter, especially when I knew that Giselle would never willingly come to my bed even if she were forced to bond to me. Anymore then Blaise would have gone to Daphne's, he's a Veela. I honestly doubt he could have sired any child with her."
Blaise flushed, hiding his face in Adrian's neck.
"Is this true?" Daphne stammered, "You couldn't want me? Why aren't I enough?"
"Daphne Junia Greengrass, such behaviour is not appropriate." Madam Aurora snapped. "I can hardly believe that you could slight a cousin this way."
Adrian shrugged as he rose and lifted Blaise into his arms, "I am quite lucky that no contract for either of us was made, yet I would have pulled an 'Andromeda' even if there was and faced the consequences. Aye I had already determined to thwart any attempts to push a contract between Giselle and myself even to extent of eloping before it could be filed. Besides, you know as well as I do that your daughter would not have taken in children sired by someone else and I would not let her even if she would have. Those are my sons and the elder if Father will allow it will be second in line to inherit the title."
"You couldn't feel anything for me?" Daphne asked in a small voice.
Blaise said in a shaky voice, "I'm Veela, I couldn't. If I was with you, I'd be so miserable and you'd come to hate me because I couldn't return your feelings. Because you're not my mate, I'd probably waste away and my magic would drop to squib levels because I wouldn't be able to boost it. If you managed to get me trapped in a bonding contract, I would likely resent you. You're a smart, funny, wonderful witch who deserves better; you deserve someone who can truly love you and support you. That will never be me…"
Adrian quietly said goodbye to the other guests at Harry and Draco's bonding.
Then they made their way to the floo and Adrian took Blaise back to Ivy Hall where he proceeded to show Blaise just how ecstatic he was that he was pregnant with twin heirs…
