Author’s Note: This chapter is relatively short. But I would like to point out that this fic was written in a series of snapshot memories and then as it got closer to the present snapshots of their life. If you like the situation and characters I created drop me a line and you can write about it.
Review Reply To Those Who Thought Draco Got Off Easy: Thanks for the review. The way I look at it was that they would have to wait almost a full year for the next Lughnasadh for the engagement. That would be a year of everyone hounding Draco; his parents, his ex-wife, the lawyers, the press. I figured Harry would consider it torture enough. Then there is the Handfasting where after their first big fight three months in, Draco couldn’t up and leave. Harry and Draco would have to live to together for the minimum year and a day. So I figured that would be plenty of time for retribution, but not the focus of the fic, sorry. We are also to assume that Draco was black out drunk as well as Harry was and probably doesn’t remember in great details how the quints came about. But alcohol does have the habit of helping people voice their thoughts even if they hadn’t admitted them to themselves.
So sorry if you don’t like how I wrote this it was supposed to be short, sweet, and soppy.
Happy Reading!
Chapter 4: What Magic CombinesLughnasadh means ‘the funeral games of Lugh’. Lugh was the Irish Sun God. These funeral games are not his own funeral games, but he oversees the funeral games of others, mainly to commemorate his foster-mother. The land reminds us that it was time for harvesting and preparations for winter Lughnasadh was a celebration of the first harvest or the grain harvest. Traditionally a time of community gatherings, market festivals, horse races and reunions with distant family and friends. There were also sexual undertones and games played at that time. Anyone caught in the fields alone would owe a favour (usually sexual) to their captor. It was also said (in other beliefs) that if Thor brings good weather on this day then the crops would not spoil. One should plant the seeds of the fruits consumed in ritual or at the feast. If the seeds sprout; grow them with love or they are a symbol of your connection with nature and/or the gods and goddesses.And due to these traditions and beliefs Lughnasadh also became the time for handfasting. Traditionally a handfasting was a temporary wedding that lasted a year and a day and generally were done during this holiday as it was not long before the beginning of the year. During the year and a day, the couple engaged to be wed would move in together and share their life as if married. After the year and a day there was the option to break the contract before the New Year or to stay together and have a more permanent ceremony.
Lughnasadh, August, 2014 Draco Malfoy appeared and handfasted Harry. He moved into the manor house in Ireland, and they began their betrothal year.
Draco remembered how beautiful Harry was when they were in school, nothing like any of the children that he had grown up with. Harry had been skinny, awkward, and endearing. And Draco had probably loved him. He had forgotten all of those things but slowly he remembered.
The blond read all of Harry’s baby books documenting the quint’s life. He watched all the muggle video footage of every major event in their lives, he read every report card.
He had gone into town, many a times, met the locals and was generally pleasant. On one trip he busted the sole of his shoe and an old man taught him how to repair it. He returned to the man’s home, time and time again, and got the strangest of hobbies.
A year and a day had come to pass. Was Draco in love with Harry Potter? Not yet. But it didn’t matter; it had been the best year of his life. He loved his kids and he loved Harry’s kids.
After a long discussion of their wants and need Harry and Draco agreed to marry in early Spring in February to be exact. After all Molly Weasley wanted Harry to marry in the snow. But they weren’t giving her the winter wedding.
A few days before the quint’s turned seventeen. Draco Malfoy named Marcus Malfoy heir to the Malfoy name. he set aside half of the fortune that was in his control for Marcus and the other half was combined with the Black and Potter fortunes to be evenly split between the eight children. Harry Malfoy named Thackary Potter heir to the Potter name and Cetus Black heir to the Black name. “Just to get it out of the way,” Severus said; Severus Snape named Albus Prince heir to the Prince name, and gave him half the fortune. Severus kept a quarter of the fortune to himself, mainly heirlooms that were his mother’s by right, and split the remaining quarter amongst the eight children.
Draco had stated that even if Gemini didn’t have children he had four other children that as long as one of them gives birth there would be a new generation for Marcus to name heir with.
Author’s Note: Please tell me what you think!Note on Spring in February: According to Solar Reckoning, which is based off the overall temperature of the Earth, Spring starts around the beginning of February. According to Astronomical reckoning, which is based on the position of the sun in the 12 zodiac constellations, spring starts at the Vernal Equinox. Traditionally in Celtic and Germanic beliefs they went by solar reckoning—hence why still today the Summer Solstice (which America at least says is the beginning of Summer) can still be called Midsummer. I have no clue when this ideology switched or why, if you’ve got better information on it then please share! I’d love to have that discussion.
