Chapter 36-A final summer

Severus and Remus had just settled into Wisteria when both Aurelius and Alphard arrived.

“We have a surprise for you three.” Aurelius smirked.

Severus frowned, “Oh?”

“Since your bonding was rushed and you plan on entering into apprenticeships immediately, we decided it was best to take a grand tour this summer. Think of it as cultural education.” Alphard grinned.

“Are you sure this is wise? Oughtn’t we be studying for our NEWTs?” Lily interjected.

“You have plenty of time for that. Convincing Irma was most difficult but Charity and Ethan will be joining us. We chose to send Ethan across the pond for schooling so he is home for now.”

“What about Edgar?” Remus asked curious.

“Eddi? They are pregnant and would rather stay at home, especially while nursing and expecting a child.”

“Why is ‘Eddi’ the stay-at-home parent while Marlene is in Hit Wizard training?” Remus frowned.

“That is a discussion best left until never,” Alphard muttered, then he sighed, “My apologies, my Black upbringing is showing. Eddi was forced by social and Hogwarts expectations to present as male due to his birth gender. Unlike me, Eddi wasn’t born a Metamorphmagus. Eddi prefers to present as androgynous but identifies as female. Yet Eddi still delivered a male child as a firstborn. Since Eddi came out to us, Emelia came out as asexual and declared her intent to never marry.”

“Irma is asexual herself; she is attracted to neither gender and has stronger relationships with her books then her peers. This is why she chose to apprentice to the Fortescue family.” Aurelius shrugged.

Lily and Severus felt nervous about being so sexually perverse…

They both had suspicions about the other’s first time being when they were in animagus form with their lovers but didn’t dare mention it for fear the other would suspect the same.

Reluctantly the mark-conscious Seventh years agreed to this trip.

XoooooX

With Lily and Severus reluctantly excited about this World Tour, James and Sirius had agreed only to become more excited than they were.

They flooed over to the Prince estate in France, exploring the centre of the French Wizarding community in the Rue de Leon first and then Lily and Severus dragged James and Sirius into Muggle Paris.

The two Pureblood firstborn heirs were stunned by the art of the Louvre and even the architecture of the fine French Houses that they explored.

Lily had bought a map of Paris with all of the apparition points clearly labelled.

It saved them from having to spend much time on Muggle Public Transportation.

They purchased tickets for a boat trip down the Canal de Saint-Martin riding down the locks only to dock in the Parc de Villette where they followed the sound of music.

There seemed to be a music festival going on.

The music was Jazz today so Lily and Severus dragged their wizard and taught them how to dance the ‘Muggle way’.

They danced until they were exhausted and then they apparated back to the Prince Chateaux.

XoooooX

After two days in Paris, it was off to Greece of all places.

Aurelius and Alphard had acquired reservations at Atlantia, a wizarding resort in one of the islands of Santorini.

They puttered about the ruins of Atlantis, the first all-wizard city-state who had sought to control the entire world starting with Greece itself.

They were punished for their greed and lust for power with the destruction of their empire.

Lily was dragged shopping afterwards at Mount Olympus by her Burbage cousins, Faith, Constance, Irma and Charity leaving Severus alone with Remus, James, Ethan and Sirius.

Severus and Remus chose to stay in their room in their villa while James and Sirius were off taking surfing lessons or sailing a yacht they’d rented. Unlike the Malfoys; neither the Princes, the Bones nor the Burbages owned a boat…

They were to join up for dinner to take a hippogriff carriage ride to the restaurant.

The carriage was far larger than expected and fit them all easily.

They arrived quickly and were escorted into a private room where there were no chairs only chaises.

Dinner was very different from what Severus and Lily were used to due to their childhoods in Wales.

The food had different flavours, textures and even was eaten with one’s fingers.

James and Remus decided that feeding Lily and Severus was a smart idea…

This just made them physically uncomfortable…

The two teenage couples were quite happy when their carriage was announced.

Even sleeping over a dormant volcano didn’t dampen their hormones…

XoooooX

They were soon portkeyed to Scamander where they ate a meal with a light sleeping potion to get acclimated to the time difference.

There was a lovely resort called Pelican Beach and like Atlantia no one cared that Lily was rooming with James instead of Charity.

Andromeda had dosed the two couples with strong contraceptive potions brewed herself to appease their guardians.

Of course to handle their entire party, their guardians had rented out the entire resort.

Lily and James as well as Severus and Remus shared one of the Queen studios, Sirius and Ethan had a ‘spa’ Studio and their female cousins took both the 2 x 2 bedroom apartments for themselves. The other two Queen Studios were taken by their guardians Elaine Bones and Alphard Black, as well Aurelius Prince and Hope Burbage.

Australia was quite different…

There was beach everywhere.

It didn’t take long for Sirius to discover that surfing was here as well and to drag both James and Ethan along.

Lily and Severus chose to go on a kayaking tour instead and leaving their female cousins mostly to entertain themselves.

This was interesting anyway…

It was after all Lily and Severus’ first time out of Britain.

Lily didn’t like to think about that this was her guardian’s gift to make up for her ever encroaching dismal future.

Severus sensed her dark thoughts and overturned their kayak on purpose.

She could hex him for it later but this vacation was about having fun…

XoooooX

Their final vacation spot was a large house on Buzzard’s Bay, Martha’s Vineyard.

There were plenty of bedrooms; eight of them all beach facing and with two kitchens it was quite comfortable even with the number of persons.

Since there were no house elves Lily and Severus took American money from their guardians and dragged their bemused lovers grocery shopping.

Lily and Severus had learned to cook from Lily’s mum and it would be fun to cook for once.

The other places they stayed had room service as well as restaurants in walking or apparition distance.

The trip was mostly for their benefit and they did want to show their gratitude.

James found a brochure for moonlit sailing as well as boat rentals.

Sirius would demand they go surfing, which had become their excitable friend’s favourite pastime.

XoooooX

Lily and Severus were surprised their first officially morning on Martha’s Vineyard that a very shy Charity appeared and asked to learn to cook.

Of course with fourteen mouths to feed a third set of hands was welcome.

A British fry up was the easiest choice and while Charity was mostly responsible for drinks and setting the table they were soon ready for the others to wake.

Warming and stasis charms were wonderful when cooking for large groups, Lily was grateful for magic.

Unlike their previous stays, this was a completely Muggle town which would make things very different.

Although with James and Sirius running around dressed like James Dean when it was the late Seventies was quite ironic.

No one could rock a muggle t-shirt and dungarees quite like James…

Poor Charity spent much of their vacation claiming to be sunburnt…

For all his playboy ways, Sirius could be quite oblivious…

XoooooX

They enjoyed Martha’s Vineyard so much that they almost didn’t leave in time to return to Hogwarts.

They portkeyed back to their respective homes Wisteria Meadows, Merit Manor and Maison de La Manche two nights before the train to Hogwarts.

Ethan had already been delivered to his own school in Michigan: Tahquamenon Institute of Magic.

Lily wasn’t sure when her promised honeymoon to Rome would be but Hogwarts would be so very different.

Especially when she was supposed to be Head Girl and Remus Head Boy…

James had agreed to be a prefect and passed on Quidditch Captain to Sirius.

Severus was proud of Remus; Prefect was more than enough for him. He didn’t really enjoy being in authority, then again it was likely because most Slytherins didn’t respect him…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
