Jade and the Silver Dragon

Chapter 7

Severus and Sirius were walking through the hallway on the way to the kitchen the following morning when they happened to glance through Harry's open bedroom door. Harry lay sprawled on his stomach, his leg wrapped around a pillow at his side, wearing a pair of loose pyjama bottoms. They came in as Harry groaned in his sleep and flopped over onto his back, his arms under the pillow that his head rested on.

"Looks like he had a good time," Severus said smirking as they saw the various bite marks and hickeys all over Harry's upper body, not to mention the marks on his hip that the pyjama bottoms were revealing on the one side.

"I wonder what time he got in?" Sirius asked quietly as he pulled Severus's arm to pull him out of Harry's room.

"Probably pretty late. If Devlin had some of that aphrodisiac spray with him, they were probably going at it for five or six hours straight," Severus asked.

Sirius shook his head bemusedly. "He is going to be sooo sore," He said laughing.

"Yes, he probably will be," Severus agreed. "Maybe we should turn on that hot tub after breakfast for him."

Hours later, after the two older wizards had lunch, Harry made his appearance in his cut-off shorts and tank top, his feet bare. They both looked up from their reading to watch as Harry gingerly sat down on the kitchen chair and ran his fingers through his sleep-tousled hair.

"Rough night?" Sirius asked impishly.

Harry looked up to see them both smirking at him knowingly. "We had a good time. I met Raiden... Devlin's partner."

"So there were three of you?" Severus asked.

"Hmm, hmm," Harry murmured as he gripped his coffee mug in both hands to drink it down to soothe his overworked throat.

"We started up the hot tub for you," Sirius said smirking, "thought you might need it."

"Gods... that sounds good," Harry said. "I invited Devlin and Raiden over for the party next weekend, they may stay for the whole week."

"We have lots of room," Sirius said. "Just make sure you use silencing charms on your rooms," he added cheekily.

"Has Selkis come by this morning?" Harry asked ignoring his godfather's good-natured teasing.

"Yes, she came with another. She now trusts me enough for you not to be there," Severus replied.

"That's good to hear," Harry said finishing off his coffee. "Did Bill say he was coming next weekend for the party?"

"I haven't heard, but I'll find out for you," Sirius said.

About an hour later Harry sat back in the hot tub, his head leaning back on the edge as he talked to Selkis who lay coiled by his head. "Sorry, I wasn't here this morning... late night," He hissed to the snake.

"We were okay, the other human treats us with care," Selkis hissed back.

"There may be a man that is coming soon that lives in your homeland that may be able to take you and the others back," Harry hissed.

"How will we travel?" Selkis asked, worried about being put in a metal box again.

"Not sure yet. Apparating may be less stressful for you," Harry hissed, "And maybe we can find a basket of some sort with lots of air holes for you to be transported in."

"Well, let us know. There's quite a few of us that are quite homesick for our warm sand," She replied as she rubbed her nose on Harry's cheek.
