When Darkness Rises

Birthday Party Part 2

"My mate," Charlie breathed. His normally blue eyes became a vibrant yellow, and Harry notice his features were more defined than all of the pictures he has seen. His muscles were clenched in excitement. Harry is standing behind Draco, watching the ginger's body quiver.

"Draco," Harry muttered. Yellow eyes snapped to the small teen. Slowly, the dragon trainer moved to his mates. While the others were giving the trio space, they watched attentively.

Charlie breathed in deep when he hugged the blonde and raven haired teen. They stayed in an embrace for a few moments before moving back.

A loud voice broke the silence, "Come on, let's eat." Everyone glared at Ron. The tall boy just shrugged, "What?"

Fred slapped him on the back of the head. "You-," Fred started, "Prat," George finished. The twins went on.

"Today is-"

"Not about-"

"You!" They both yelled.

"Boys enough! Now why don't we all sit down and have a nice morning, hm?" Molly Weasley quickly shut them up and had everyone finding a seat.

It was obvious who was together. Sirius was shoulder to shoulder with Remus, the same for Molly and Arthur, and the mated trio's three chairs might as well been a bench. Moody, Kingsley, and Tonks were seated in the three chairs closest to the fireplace. Then McGonagall and the rest of the Weasleys, down to Siri at the head of the table.

Its hard to follow any one conversation in the roar of noise. But let's see what Charlie is hm?

"So when will you come into your inheritance, Harry?" Charlie asks.

"Tomorrow," the raven teen murmured in reply.

"How is he not in pain, veela? I could barely get out of bed a week before my inheritance, and then I was in pain afterwards. What about you?"

Draco cleared his throat. "I started to ache a week before, but my back felt like hell a couple days before my transition. We just do not know about Harry, but you can tell us about you."

"I am a red wyvern. I'm a dragon like creature. It makes it a lot easier to work with the dragons themselves."

Conversation continued, catching ups were done. Then a fine feast appeared on the table. Everyone toasted to Harry and started eating. A large cake sits in the middle of the table.

Its later when the cake is cut, then presents are opened. Books, Harry got lots of books from the Hogwarts teachers. Molly presented him with a knitted sweater, Arthur gave him an enchanted muggle artifact, a joke set from the twins, and from Tonks, an enchanted wand holster. Siri gave Harry a family crest ring, and Remy got him an engraved leather bracelet. The teen put them on with a smile. Draco put a small ring, with his crest on it, on his mate's small left middle finger. Charlie put a dragon claw necklace around the raven hair's neck.

Harry graciously thanked everyone. 

The party continued until late into mid afternoon, then everyone parted ways.

Siri, Remy, Harry, Draco, and Charlie sit down on the couches in the sitting area, tired. Then Tom pops in, "Evening people." They mutter a greeting and lay their heads back again.

"Well, aren't y'all a boring lot."

" 'm tired," the youngest murmurs and gets comfortable on his mates' laps.

"Well I guess we can talk in the morning. Go to bed, I'll make myself comfortable somewhere..." Tom trails off.

Everyone scatters as the sun kisses the horizon.
