Enigums

Life goes on

January 2007

The group has their monthly meeting. Draco is sitting behind Remus, his arms are wrapped around his middle. He is stroking Remus' stomach, in a few months he will be able to feel their babies kick. He is giddy, he wonders how Remus' wolf will react to being pregnant and moody. So far he has been silent. He places a kiss on Remus' neck and inhales his scent. He looks over to Hermione who is reading Eileen's new book about squibs. Eileen and Reggie are close to giving squibs their magic back. His eyes find Harry and Severus who are softly murmuring to each other. Severus' birthday is in four days, after the surprise party fiasco from ten years ago where Severus stunned them all and turned them into mice, they decided no more surprise parties for him. They will have a get together, besides Severus doesn't like parties.

Bella is eating pizza ice cream, she has had some weird cravings lately. Her husbands are talking to Charlie and his husband Victor Krum. Lucius and Narcissa are talking to Luna and Xenophilius, Luna and Lucius have become best friends over the years to the surprise of many. Regulus and Tom are chuckling about something, most likely about Kreacher's venture into designing clothes for house elves. The rest are mingling and waiting for Gellert to arrive so they can start.

Gellert has an angry look on his face when he enters the room. Tom walks over to him, "What's wrong?" Gellert sighs, "Tatiana, that's what's wrong. She was bullying her assistants and on top of that she tried to steal their work and pass it off as her own. I fired her and blacklisted her. She threated to have me arrested on sexual assault charges. Told me she had connections in high places and would make sure my name was ruined. Said it was not the first time she did so. Little did she know that said connections were on the other side listening in. She thought because she was a muggle the rules wouldn't apply to her here."

Severus shakes his head, "I knew she was trouble. She looked at me with disdain and arrogance. Like she was better. She also made comments about my pregnancy. Called me a freak. She thought I didn't hear her but I did. I was the one who banned from the upper floors. What else happened?" Gellert sits down and sips on his whiskey, "Paul walked out and confronted her. She made a call to her daddy, she started crying and spun a tale about how Paul and I forced her to have sex with us and threatened her." Narcissa laughs, "Steve was in the next room too, wasn't he?" He nods and smirks, "The look on her face was priceless. He asked me to cast a truth spell on her. I was happy to oblige, she could give Ginny and James a run for their money with her attitude. She almost looks like she could be their bastard child. He disowned her and she has now been arrested for plagiarism. She threw my name plate at my head. The edge hit my head and I had to go and see Poppy."

Tom clenches his fists, he wants to hunt her down and throttle her. He hates people who hurt his husband. Gellert pries his hands open and squeezes his hands, "Breath, love. I am fine. Poppy fixed me in no time. Won't even scar. She is not worth your anger." Tom looks at his love, "I know but I am still angry at her. You know I hate people who hurt her." Gellert nods, "I know. Sean is still limping from the beatdown you gave him." Tom growls, "He kept hitting on you, despite you telling him more than once that you were happily married and bonded. He is lucky I only broke his leg and didn't kill him. He tried to kidnap you." Gellert cuts him off with a kiss, "Don't dwell on it. It's in the past. He is now in the muggle world, banned from our world." Tom kisses him back and whispers, "I want another baby." Gellert laughs, "I wasn't expecting that." He pecks his lips and nods.

Bella burps loudly, everyone is looking at her, "What? That felt good. S'not like you haven't done the same. So what else is new?" Lucius clears his throat, "Kingsley came to me yesterday after the Wizengamot session. Doge and Diggle tried to escape Azkaban. They bribed some prison guards. Needless to say they failed. Doge and Diggle will receive the kiss in two days. The prison guards were fired and are now in jail themselves. This will help us push the bill to remove guards forward."
