The Marriage Law - A Harry Potter Fanfic

10

A huge Siberian Tiger sat outside the door waiting to be let in. I grinned and ran over to open the door letting him in. George hid behind Alex and spoke softly his eyes wide "I thought you were joking."

"Nope, I sure wasn't Georgie."

I knelt down and pet Tigger happily "Hey, I missed you, Yes I did."

Tigger yawned and I stood up "Come on Tigger, let's get you something to eat and then in front of the fireplace."

I went over to the fridge and grabbed some milk pouring it into a large mixing bowl and then looking at George "George, could you warm it? Harry still has my wand."

George flicked his wand and steam started to rise from the bowl. I carried it past the two of them and into the living room stopping as I saw Fred. He stood and walked over frowning as he looked into the bowl "Mione, What are you carrying around a giant bowl of milk?"

"For Tigger."

"Tigger?"

"My tiger."

"You don't have a...TIGER!! HOLY FUCK!!" Fred froze as Tigger walked past him and sat down by the fireplace waiting for his food. I brushed past Fred and set down the bowl before sitting down "Please don't scream Fred, it gets awfully annoying, plus I'm sure plenty of people have tigers in the wizarding world ."

"Nope, as far as I know no one has tigers!!"

"Oh, ok." I sat down and leaned against Tigger, Fred relaxed after almost 10 minutes and spoke quietly "Heather wants us to get remarried."

"Heather? The one you cheated on me with?"

"I didn't cheat on you, I swear."

"Oh yeah? I may have lost some part of my memory or something but I sure as hell remember that part. Don't treat me like I'm stupid."

"I'm not!! I'm telling the truth!!"

"No, your not, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop lying."

Fred stood and moved over to sit beside me "I solemnly swear that I did NOT cheat on you."

I scoffed and Fred reached out, turning my face towards him so he could kiss me. My eyes fluttered closed and then I pushed him away "DON'T!!!"

He grabbed my waist and yanked me down kissing me roughly. Tigger growled quietly as I squirmed. Fred slowly pulled away "Baby, call off your tiger please."

"No!! Get off!"

Harry suddenly spoke from upstairs "Mione? Are you home?"

Harry and Draco both came downstairs and stopped "Um...give us a warning next time yeah?"

"I told Fred to GET OFF!!!"

Tigger stood and there were several cries of surprise as he growled softly over top of Fred. Fred rolled his eyes and kissed me gently before pulling away and walking out of the room. I sat up and Tigger nuzzled my face "Good boy Tigger."

Draco looked stunned "Granger, that's a tiger."

Harry smiled and ran down the rest of the stairs "Hey Tigger."

Draco followed more slowly and sat down on the couch as Harry petted Tigger "Who's a good boy? Tiggers a good boy."

I smiled and then looked at Harry "Have you got my wand?"

"Yeah, Draco's got it."

Draco pulled it out and tossed it to me "There you go."

I caught it and smiled tucking it behind my ear "Thanks."

The blonde crossed his legs "So uh...what's going on with you, Fred and the giant tiger?"

"Fred's being an arse, Tigger's gorgeous as usual, and I'm fine."

Harry and Draco spoke in unison "When a woman says she's fine..."

"SHUT UP!! YOU TWO ARE JUST AS BAD AS GEORGE!!!"

Draco grinned "Who do you think taught George and Harry?"

I groaned and they laughed. I looked up the stairs to see Ginny's door close "Harry, how is Ginny?"

Draco immediately slid down on the floor to sit beside Harry, pulling him close and nuzzling his neck . Harry's eyes slowly closed and he reached up to run a hand through his boyfriend's hair "Stop it, Ginny's just a friend."

"A friend that had sex with you?"

"Ok listen, me and Ginny were to be married so of course we had sex. We've had this talk about 300 times love."

I rolled my eyes "Plus Draco your one to talk."

Draco flushed "Don't turn this back on me Granger."

Harry's eyes opened "What are you talking about?"

"I dated Draco in...6th?"

Draco nodded as Harry turned "You conveniently forgot to tell me that."

"Did I? Huh...weird..."

Harry rolled his eyes "Ginny's not doing well, she refuses to speak to her partner."

"Who's her partner?"

"Dean Thomas."

"Oh god."

"Yeah."

We were all quite for a minute before I stood and murmured quietly "I'm going to bed for awhile, I'm pretty tired."

Harry nodded, "You'll have to sleep in the twins old room though, all the other rooms are taken."

I nodded and walked up the stairs Tigger following me, I stopped on one of the upper landings and looked back down to see Harry and Draco sitting on the floor kissing, Draco's hand sliding up Harry's leg slowly. I felt an ache in my chest as I watched them, god how I wished for that with someone...

Fred's POV

I watched Hermione from the kitchen as she walked up the stairs, Merlin she was beautiful. Harry turned in Draco's lap and kissed him deeply, I looked back up and saw that Hermione had paused and looked down, her hand squeezed the railing tightly and she brushed a tear from her cheek before rushing up the rest of the stairs and disappearing into one of the rooms

I slid down the doorway and rested my head on my knees as I wrapped my arms around myself "Oh Mione, What have we done? Why are we destroying each other?"
