A Chance at Happiness

24. Wake me up when August ends.

Draco and Astoria had returned to their Mansion, while Severus and Charlotte returned to Hogwarts, since September was only 1 week away and they had to settle down for the new term.

The kinky weekend of the 2 couples were never mentioned again, they had all agreed to keep it a secret and never bring the issue to discussion ever again. In addition, they had all vowed under Unbreakable Vow that no participant would try to flirt in any way with any other than his own companion and no participant would ever manage to bring this thing up if not all of them were present.

Nathan was about to start his second year at Hogwarts, so Severus would take him shopping.

He had grown even more during the summer. His head would reach up his father's half neck.

His voice had started to deepen and he had started having new areas of hair on his body.

The only thing that actually stressed him out was the lack of privacy at Hogwarts.

His father had also promised him to teach him the non verbal spell of urgent relief in order to avoid embarrassing moments during class and generally in public.

Bella was also much taller now and she could easily pass for an 8 years old instead of 6.

Severus was also going to miss the privacy of having a room with a door that actually locked. His intimate moments with his wife was something necessary for him. He wanted to feel her love and passion towards him. He was very insecure for having a much younger wife, and part of him was jealous of Draco , who was young, strong and with an amazing body. He did not dare to speak his thoughts to his wife, though.

- Severus, will you take Nathan shopping today ? Charlotte asked him while they were enjoying their morning coffee.

- Yes, love, why do you ask ?

- Bella has asked me to go with Minerva today. Minerva has promised her to take her get a specifically designed transfiguration toy wand, so I could use this day for a walk too. I was wondering if I could join you. Charlotte explained.

- Of course, dear. But make sure you take 1-2 hours for yourself, because I had in mind to talk to Nathan about some "men stuff" . He is starting to hit puberty, so ... you understand. I hardly think he would enjoy female company during this conversation.

- Oh sure. Well, I can go for personal shopping then. New underwear , new perfume... she trailed off giving him a wink.

- Like we have our own space, huh ? Severus commented.

- Actually, I have talked to Albus and he agreed to make arrangements to our rooms. I was keeping it as a surprise for you. He will expand the rooms and we will have a private bedroom with private bathroom and a door that actually locks! Bella will have her own room too and Nathan will have his own room too, in case we need family time together. He will need his privacy, won't he ? I have noticed some things too, you know . She replied with a small smile.

Severus said nothing. Instead of speaking , he chose to hug his wife tightly and give her a passionate kiss.

Nathan chose to appear right then and there.

- Get a room, people! he said.

- Are you ready ? We are going shopping and I have also reserved us a table for lunch, son. Severus asked him.

- We can leave right now, if you wish, his son replied.

They floo'd to Diagon Alley and went to shop new robes first.

Charlotte took Bella to Minerva. Bella loved Minerva, as if she were her grandmother. The feeling was mutual, because Minerva always wished to have children and grand children but her wish never came true.
