Coming back

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 20:30:17 GMT

Hello everyone! I’ve missed you all. I’m still off fanfic- trying to get things together, but I miss you too much. So I’m going to try and just socialize. My journal is going to be friends only and posts are going to be RL only. So if you de-friend me I understand. If you want to stay here, that would be great.
Hope everything is going well with everyone.

Love Witchdragon

Missing all of you!!

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 00:16:56 GMT

Hugs and kisses to everyone!!! I miss you all so much. How is everything? Jobs, kids, houses, pets, partners?

Life is good, I’m needed to watch my spending- I got a speeding ticket- my first ever- it was $211 – sucks.

I’ve lost ten pounds- yeah!

Work is work- one of my favorite girls left Friday to a foster placement. I’ll miss her. That night I was watching my eight-year-old rage and actually hoping at one point she’d go far enough so I could call the police and be done with it. Not so much fun that.

I have done a ton of writing- I have three chapters to show for it and a ton of drafts that needed to be altered. I’m looking at started a writers group with a couple of friends.

Did I mention I miss all of you? I hate not knowing how all of you are *squishes*. I’ll post again soon- let me know how things are- you can even link me to rl posts, no porn yet *pouts*

Love Witchdragon

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 22:47:04 GMT

Update

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 02:57:48 GMT

Hello everyone- I just wanted to say I’ll be gone for a while. I’ve tried to cut back on how much I read- as some of you know, but really moderation and hot boys having sex just doesn’t work for me, so I’ve had my son remove the internet from my home computer and I don’t read porn at work- I work with kids and that is just wrong. Anyway you can still email, and I might pop in now and then to post, I’ll miss all of you, but I really need to do this right now.

Hugs, kisses and licks to all of you!!

Update

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 21:12:54 GMT

Okay the investigator is gone- it looks like everything will be just fine. Now I just have to wait for a letter saying if they believe me or her. fingers crossed On a better note I just saw Azur and Asmar with girl child- it is so beautiful. I highly recommend it.

Full panic mode.

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 18:53:56 GMT

Okay so it had to eventually happen, but still I'm totally freaked out. Last month one of my girls was throwing a fit and kicking furniture, at bed time. I chose to move her to another room. When I moved her she got a rug burn- which I didn't find out about until two days later because she complained to the school nurse it hurt. School calls CPS, cute cop comes out- he doesn't file a report because one wasn't needed. CPS casework gets into a snit and I'm formally reprimand- a piece of paper was added to my file. Well apparently this is so horrible that a CPS investigator is coming to talk to me. And what the report now reads is that I drug her through he house by one arm- WTF!! I know I didn't do anything wrong, but I am so freaked out. My job isn't a help to my family it supports us completely! And right now I don't have the money to move (we live where I work as part of my job) So while I know it my head it will be fine the rest of me is in full panic mode and I don't know how I'm going to survive until 10:45am tomorrow!

Anyway just wanted to vent.

My eyes are hot

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 23:54:44 GMT

I'm sick and running a fever that is high enough my eyes feel hot and feverish. On top of that tomorrow is DD's 9th birthday party and I have to make cupcakes for it! Thankfully I was able to get someone to work for me tonight so I don't have to work on top of everything else. *sighs*

Bad acting knows no prejudice and a youtube vid

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 13:43:27 GMT

Okay hubby brings home a treat for me from the video store, vampires *claps hands* gay boys *fans self* un-rated *bounces up and down gleefully* runs to bedroom, puts show into player- ignores hubby who yells- 'Hey maybe I want to watch that too.' Puts in show- 'The Lair'- sees lovely boys who must be porn actors trying to get a break because the acting is SO bad and cheesy and even though they are vampires and naked and gay I get more turned on watching clips on youtube of Queer as Folk- I'm so sad right now. This is the second time I've tried a gay tv show- the other being "Noah's Ark' and I was deeply disappointed. Hello the actor who plays Brain in QaF is straight, but he WANTS Justin when he touches him *swoons* please there has to be something else out there. Honestly I can't stand the way they treat each other in QaF and mostly just watch clips on youtube to get my fix- any suggestions?? Or you can complain with me.

In fun news here is a vid from youtube- I know the doll is scary but watch it till the end. It’s worth it!

Confession

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 00:30:36 GMT

Sorry if you see this in more than one place, but I'm posting it everywhere.

I'm a control freak- now stop laughing because this is a new realization for me. I didn't realize how much of a control freak I am because I'm just a really good control freak. I don't have to fight with teachers, the school system, or outside influences because they aren't there. I home school them- I know where they are, and who they're with, and exactly what they're learning at all times. I order food in so I don't have to worry how my kids will act in the restaurant. Before my current job I didn't have to worry about people judging me because I only hung around people who's lifestyles are similar to mine.

Now I have a job, where I live with broken children who at any moment could decide- or not decide and just freak out- to stop doing as I ask, or could start hurting one of the other kids, or could start cussing me out, or any number of things and I can't control that. I can't control the totally fucked up decision to send one of MY GIRLS back with her Grandparents, which I know is going to fail, and her and her brother will end up right back in care. Most likely another group home, because they're aren't any empty beds in town and as soon as she's gone I'll wind up with another girl. I can't control how they do in school, or who they hang out with, or the choices they make, or the truly stupid choices their councilor/case workers/ family make and it drives me nuts. I feel helpless, and completely powerless, and useless, and god it is driving me mad. I have no idea what to do with myself. I don't know how to let go. I don't know how to be detached.

Just think instead of spending thousands of dollars on retreats to learn Zen philosophy I get paid to have it forced on me. If I don't figure out how to let go of my need/desire to control things I'll either go crazy or have to find another job. And honestly right now there is nothing I could do to make the kind of money I make right now, so realistically I need to learn to let go- dammit!!!!

Live long and marry fic

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 20:29:04 GMT

I've written a little fic- 1,300 words, and I'd love to get some feedback on it, and even a bit of beta help- if anyone is interested. I plan to submit it to the live long and marry anthology to help fight prop 8, and really I don't want to turn in something iffy and full of errors, so any and all help would be great. It is NC-17 if that helps :)

Fic search, General update, comma beta needed, and TMI cause I’m sick with ticky boxes!

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 16:49:55 GMT

Hello all I’ve been meaning to update for ages, but you all know how life can get! So here it is- finally LOL! For those interested, curious or just really bored! Fic search- I’m looking for an old Snarry- I read it on ink stained fingers. Harry, Ron and Hermione run a security agency. Snape is the headmaster of Hogwarts and being sent death threats, and his office is bombed- the Muggle way. Harry moves into Snape’s manor to protect him. I know more about the plot if you need it- but in case someone hasn’t read it and it’s found I don’t want to spoil anything. General update- Things are going well. I’m getting ready for the holidays. Or at least I have lists started. My work kids were out of control for a while, but I have it figured out and things are better. They need an Alpha- not a friend or companion or someone who understands, but an Alpha in charge at their house. You see according to ‘Emotional Intelligence’ (one of those books you should read before you get pregnant) babies in-utero and for the first two years of life who live in extremely stressful environments- i.e. their daily survival in question- have the reptilian and mammalian parts of the brain grow larger than babies in a safe environment who have a larger frontal lobe. What this means is my work kids have a pack mentality happening, so if I treat them like wolves I think things will go a lot better. I have started writing again. I have begun an original fiction- for teens, which I’m going to try and get published. I’m also working on a short story for the livelongandmarry anthology. I also have a homeschooling article in the works, so we’ll see what is anything comes of these. I started to post Gypsy on Hex files- and Sevfan has been great, but seriously I need my missing, run away and just in the wrong place comma’s taken care of before I submit anymore chapters. Anyone- it’s long 84 chapters- but Rakina has beta-ed every thing else. So I’m really looking for some one who loves to put commas in their place. LOL! TMI- My family and I have been sick with the flu. It’s bad stomach cramps, throwing up, and diarrhea. I was feeling better yesterday, and I’m starting my period so I wanted Mexican food so guess what I did-

My wish list

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 19:22:04 GMT

Step One
- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your IJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your IJ, so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two
- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use—or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free—do it.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf—to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not — it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

My wish list-

1- LUSH if you live near a LUSH store I would love bar shampoo, lotion- esp. with sunscreen, Angles on Bare skin, Herbalism, Imperials, ‘Eau Roma Water, Buffy the Backslide Slayer, soap and any other wondrous goodies!
2- Homemade goodies – I can’t eat wheat but I’ll share with my kids J anything homemade, art, food, crafts, card anything.
3- Porn- cause the holidays are about happiness- drabble, story, art anythingJ
4- Books to read to my kids. I would love books for kids/teens, which could inspire my work kids and my own kids. They have been removed from their homes by CPS they have a intense since of entitlement and are very angry, so stories where people have picked themselves up from nothing, chosen the right things instead of the easy thing, stories about kids who have a lot less and make the most of every opportunity- books like that.
5- I would love a beta for an original story I’m writing, someone to help me keep the plot in line, and my grammar and spelling errors to a minimum. It isn’t slash. It’s a teen book with a supernatural theme; my main character is a girl. I’m writing it first person-, which is a challenge, and I’m hoping I can pull it off. I ~~want~~ WILL get it published so any help would be wonderful.
6- Candy I do so love candy. This bit will sound odd, but I would really enjoy candy from your area or ethnic background. The work kids have introduced me to Mexican candy and it is very fun!
7- DVD of your favorite foreign or independent film- but please don’t make me cry without a happy ending.
8- Music that you love. I enjoy a wide variety of music and I love finding new people to listen too, so have you found something new and wonderful you want to share??
9- Shirts, mine are getting old and stained, I wear a medium. And while I adore snarky rude t-shirts please remember that I work with children, and I live where I work so I have to behave most of the time. I usually don’t wear pink or red.
10- Give- time, money, food, toys, whatever you can or what to, give something and tell me about it.

Now I did edit my friends list a while back in order to get RL working better- this is still a project- so please link your lists to me, I don’t want to forget anyone, although I’m not sure how much I can get done.

Fic recs??

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 18:42:02 GMT

Okay I'm all PMS-y and I would like to read some angry Harry- who doesn't forgive easily- or maybe at all. Slash of course. Anyone?? i normally read happy fluffiness so I'm not sure where to start.

Help lost fic!

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 18:32:36 GMT

Okay I've done it again- I can't remember the name or author of a fic becasue of course I would remember so there is no reason to add it to my favorites. *glares*
Anyway- it was really good, past Harry/Ron, Harry lived alone then comes back to Hogwarts to help Ron's daughter Margret? and he and Draco have a romance- it is really good and of course I can't find it any where!

          Gabriel’s hands clutched at the katana piercing the Dark Lord’s body. His magic, energy and life force were stretched to the brink. He could feel the presence of his family, and was deeply thankful for their help as the pieces of Tom Riddle's soul slowly came together. He could hear the battle going on around him, and could feel Draco behind him, but Gabriel was removed from all of it. The potion Draco had fed him had successfully pulled him into the spirit world so he could do his work. Gabriel continued to chant the incantation as he forced the pieces together. They were so close, almost touching. Gabriel could feel that they wanted to join, but just couldn’t. Taking a deep breath, Gabriel forced everything he was and everything he was being given into the fragments.

          Light and magic swirled as Tom Riddle’s soul became whole once again. Gabriel felt his body fall back onto Draco, as the last of Voldemort’s life drifted away. Gabriel stayed kneeling, shivering as he separated from his body. Looking up he saw a handsome teenager. Tom thanked him and then floated away into a warm golden light. Gabriel felt draw to the light. Then he heard Draco and Vincent calling to him. “I don’t want to go. I need a way back into my body,” Gabriel thought and instantly was sucked back into his body, as Draco’s potion did its final task and faded from his body.

          Gabriel didn’t know were he was. The bed was firm and the air smelled of potions and nothing else, like it had been cleaned so deeply that nothing existed in it. He could faintly hear the song Mbiriviri would sing to protect him from others' emotions. A cool hand held his. Gabriel wanted to turn his head and open his eyes, but he couldn’t. He felt as if he was too deep inside his body, as if he had to come closer to the surface to get control over himself again.

          “Your school is very interesting; I hope you get up soon so you can show me around,” Jaime said to him. “Your friend, Luna, has been showing me around. She’s been telling me all about rare magical creatures. Have you ever seen a blibbering humdinger?”

          Gabriel drifted off happily listening to Jaime talking.

          “I hate him,” Draco sneered softly, as if he didn’t want anyone else to hear him. “I know he’s your friend, but he’s been more than just a friend. I can tell by the way he touches you. Merlin, earlier today he was running his fingers though your hair! Then he laid next to you talking about everything, and I wanted to throw his aquatic arse out the bloody window! You’re mine, and I want you to wake up right now and tell him so!” Gabriel heard Draco stomp his foot.

          The bed shifted and a warm body was pressed against his. “Please, Gabriel, please come back. I miss you so much.” Draco’s voice hitched with a soft sob. “Please, I need you.”

          Gabriel fought to get closer to the surface, cursing the blackness as it took him again.

          Tatiana and Aubrey were dancing on his bed. Music filled the room, and his father’s voice could be heard singing along.

          “Are you sure he’s going to wake up, Baba?” Aubrey asked as he bounced over his brother’s sleeping form.

          “Of course, he just needs an incentive to wake up.”

          “Like triple ginger biscuits?” Tatiana squealed.

          “Yes, shall we have some?” Dad said.

Gabriel felt them sit down around him, and the sterile smell was replaced with the scent of fresh sweet ginger. Gabriel’s nose twitched as he rose to the surface before fading away again.

          “I love him, and I wouldn’t do anything differently, but still, my leg,” Adonis cried softly whispering his confession. “I can walk, but I have a limp. I’ll never be able to be part of our performances again. I don’t even know that I’ll travel with the troupe again. I want to be with Severus and was planning on talking with him about what we would do, but now what will I do? Cook, clean, help cut ingredients for his potions?”

          Gabriel felt Adonis grasp his hand holding on tightly. “I want to do those things and I want to help him, but I can’t see that being all I do, or all that my life is.”

          Gabriel surged forward as much as possible and squeezed Adonis’ hand. He blacked out even before he heard Adonis’ shocked gasp.

          Hard heels clicked rhythmically against the stone floor. “I should have protected him. I should have kept him safe. Instead he almost died. Gabriel, he was so pale. Madam Pomfrey had to start his heart twice because of how much blood he'd lost. And I’m so happy that he is with me, it’s all I really care about. He has lost significant use of his leg. And I don’t know if I can keep him happy. He’s used to traveling. How will I keep him happy?” Severus sat down with a sigh.

          “Speaking of unhappiness, you need to wake up soon; my godson is driving me insane with his moping. He keeps glaring at Jaime who I think winds him up just for fun, or to keep his mind off of you.”

          “Gabriel,” Kamala sniffed, her face buried in his chest. “Tomorrow is Christmas. There’s a big tree, and we haven’t opened our Solstice gifts yet. The adults said we would open them tomorrow, but all I want is you.”

Kamala cried as she clutched his top. He could feel the dampness of her tears. His fingers twitched; he wanted to comfort his sister. His hand moved and darkness enveloped him again.

          He woke to the sound of cheerful chatter, the morning light banishing the darkness behind his eyes. The rich smell of sticky buns and eggs filled the air.

          “Okay everyone, gather round and we’ll start opening presents,” Ria called out. “We’ll go youngest to oldest, so Talha will go first.”

          Gabriel could hear the paper tearing, and Talha shriek with delight.

          “Guess what, he loves the paper! Who would have guessed,” laughed Soto.

          Gabriel smiled softly before returning his focus to waking up. The bed dipped. “I’ll tell you what everyone gets, okay,” Kamala said.

          Kamala described each present as Talha, Aubrey and then Tatiana opened their gifts. Gabriel received hugs and kisses as thanks for his gifts.

“It’s my turn now.” Kamala moved to stand up when a hand gripped her wrist. Gabriel forced his eyes open, smiling up into her chocolate brown eyes. “Gabriel!”

          Everyone rushed to the bed, and slowly he made eye contact with them all, except Talha who was busy chewing on wrapping paper. Gabriel tried to say something, ‘I love you,’ or ‘Merry Christmas’, anything at all, but instead his eyes fluttered closed and he feel asleep.



“Everyone else is in the Great Hall having Christmas dinner, but I wanted to come and spend some time with you.”

Gabriel could tell that he wasn’t going to actually reach consciousness and instead faded back into sleep as his godfather explained in great detail about the Weasley twins’ great victory at the Ministry of Magic.

          “I could make him orgasm, that should wake him up,” Lysander offered casually.

          “What!” Draco yelled.

          “Well, he responds really well to my bite. So I could drink from him, and he could have another powerful, amazing orgasm, which I’m sure would wake him up.”

          Gabriel could feel Draco seething, and by the sound of his footsteps he was advancing on the vampire. This was not good.

          “Draco,” Gabriel breathed softly. He wasn’t sure anyone would hear him, but then the room went completely silent. Suddenly a potion vial was pressed against his lips. Gabriel recognized the spicy taste of Pepperup Potion and felt steam come out of his ears. It was much milder than he was used to and his expression must have shown his confusion.

          “It’s a version of Pepperup used for small children when they are sick,” Severus explained. “Madam Pomfrey insisted that you needed to stay awake for a while. She has been giving you potions, but only in small doses, and you need to eat something.”

          “Okay,” Gabriel rasped. Blinking rapidly he tried to adjust his eyes to the light. Thankfully someone noticed and turned them down. A large figure swam into view. Before Gabriel could focus on who it was he was wrapped up in strong arms. Inhaling, he breathed in the scent of his Baba.

          “Cherub, we were so worried!” Mudiwa said softly as he helped his son sit up.

          Vincent adjusted his pillows and took Gabriel into his arms. “Never again can you scare us like that, do you understand me, young man?”

          “Never again, I promise, Dad.”

          “Are you feeling okay?” Ria asked, worry marring her brow.

          Pausing before he answered Gabriel shrugged his shoulders. “I’m achy from lying down for so long, but other than that I feel fine. What time is it?”

          “Eight-thirty,” Adonis answered limping into view. “The little ones are going to be so angry that they missed seeing you awake. Soto and Naveen put them to bed, but they should be back soon.”

          Tears filled Gabriel's emerald eyes. “I’m so sorry about your leg. I should have…”

          “No! No, don’t you dare!” Adonis choked hobbling to Gabriel’s bedside. “You did enough, more than enough. And yes my life will change, but I wouldn’t do anything differently. Not a single thing, do you hear me.”

          Gabriel sniffed and nodded, burying his face into golden curls as Adonis held him tightly.

“I’d better let you go, there are others waiting to say hello.”

          As Adonis stood up Lysander flung himself on top of Gabriel with a wicked grin on his face. “Your boyfriend is rather easy to wind up.”

          Gabriel smiled and looked over Lysander’s shoulder to see a very annoyed Draco. “He’s coming over here.”

          “Well then, I’ll have to do this quickly.” And with that Lysander leaned down and pressed a quick kiss to his lips before leaping off the bed like a cat and landing safely away from striking distance.

          With grace and dignity Draco took a clean washcloth from the bedside table and with a quick spell had it warm and damp. Carefully he wiped Gabriel’s lips. “I wouldn’t want to catch anything,” he sneered before leaning down and kissing Gabriel softly.

          “I love you,” Gabriel sighed as Draco sat up.

          “I love you too.”

          “Sorry to end the sweetness, but I have some potions and soup for Gabriel,” Elena said as she placed a tray over Gabriel’s lap.

          “Thank you.” Gabriel looked over the potions and took the nutrient and strengthening potions before eating, leaving the magic stabilizing potion for later. “While I eat can anyone tell me how long I’ve been asleep and what has happened?”

          Gabriel took a spoonful of the rich smelling pumpkin soup and hummed happily. Everyone smiled as their fears of Gabriel not returning to them dissipated.

          “You have been asleep for four days. Today is Christmas Day.” Vincent told him.

          “Madam Pomfrey said that other than being exhausted, physically and magically, there was nothing wrong with you,” Severus explained, his arms wrapped around his fiancé.

          Gabriel set his spoon down as if was going to speak, when Ria interrupted him. “Oh no you don’t! You go right back to eating! We can wait to hear you part of the story. We have already shared ours. Draco and Severus told us about the potion. Draco also shared his experience during the battle. Your family and friends from all over the world meditated and sent you energy. Did you feel it?”

          Gabriel nodded, not willing to try speaking again.

          “Perfect. The Magical Creatures Council came and helped. We would have lost so many if they hadn’t been here. Most of them have gone home, but Lysander, as you know, is still here.” Ria gave Gabriel a sly look. “How did you keep your innocence while training with him all those years?”

          Gabriel blushed and before he, Lysander or Draco could comment, Mudiwa took up the conversation. “Jacob, Miriam, Jaime and Shawn are also still here.”

          Draco snarled.

          “Before they attacked here, Death Eaters were sent to the Ministry. Unfortunately many people died, including Dumbledore, but no one else you knew,” Vincent explained trying to divert attention away from his son’s ex-lovers. “Voltaire and the other council members have been working closely with the new Ministry officials. Things are changing quickly. You should be very proud.”

          Gabriel blushed and focused more intently on his soup.

          The next few days were spent reconnecting with everyone and slowly regaining his strength. The Ministry held a ball in his honor, which Gabriel attended under protest. However, in his speech he listed everything everyone had ever done to help him, and expressed his gratitude for all the good work the Ministry was now doing. Orders of Merlin were presented to everyone who had helped. Gabriel beamed with happiness as so many of his friends and family were presented with the coveted awards. This was the first time that magical creatures and Squibs had been awarded the Order of Merlin.

          Narcissa Malfoy attended the party with Hydras. She cried when she saw Draco, holding him closely to her and praising him for the man he had become.

          Later that night Draco had cried for the loss of his father, and for his mother’s words. Gabriel held him tightly through it all.


July 14^th, 1997. Oma’s Farm, Switzerland

          Gabriel took a deep breath of the fresh, flower-scented air. The sun had just begun to set and the sky was washed in soft colors. Adonis and Severus stood before Oma. They were getting bonded today and everyone had come. Draco and Blaise sat next to Gabriel, with Hydras, Aubrey and Tatiana crawling all over the three of them. Gabriel hugged Hydras to him, as Severus began to say his vows. His deep voice was rough with emotion. Adonis beamed in happiness as his eyes filled with tears. As the newly bonded pair kissed Draco laced his fingers through Gabriel’s. Gabriel leaned over and kissed Draco’s soft cheek, with turned pink with embarrassment.

          This was what Gabriel had fought and been willing to die for. Looking around he saw all of his family and friends: Ria’s family from India; Jaime and his family; Dario and Luca; and Philip, Freja and Lucas with their family and pack were all at the farm. Lysander and his girlfriend Marcy would be arriving at dark for the party. And of course there were the gypsies Gabriel had lived with since he was five, plus Soto and Elena’s new baby boy, Riku.

          Everything was working out. Severus didn’t want to stay at Hogwarts. Instead, he would be making potions for those who ordered them. He already had orders from St. Mungo's and the Hogwarts infirmary. Severus also wanted to collect a lot of the ingredients himself, so he and Adonis planned to travel frequently to collect top quality fresh ingredients. For their honeymoon they were going to Costa Rica, a place Adonis had never been.

          Adonis was going to focus on his artwork for now. He still hadn’t decided what he was going to do with his time. Severus said he would need to find something to occupy his time soon, because apparently the golden man got horny when he was bored, and Severus couldn’t get any work done.

          Draco and Hydras were spending the summer traveling with the Dragonheart clan. Gabriel was thrilled to be able to spend his summer with them. Mrs. Malfoy was convicted of being an accessory to Death Eater crimes, and was confined to her house. She was currently writing her memoirs and Draco thought she would be back at the top of the social circles in no time.

          “Are you going to sit here all night grinning like a loon, or shall we join the party?” Draco drawled, amused at his lover’s behavior.

          “Do you want to get married someday?”

          Draco raised an elegant silvery eyebrow at the uncouth emerald-eyed man. “Yes, someday I would like to get married and have a family. But until then, I think I would like to see the world. Do you know any way I could travel around Europe and Asia learning about the people and cultures? Eating new foods and buying exotic clothes and trinkets, perhaps? Or maybe you know a place where my baby brother could come along too?”

          Gabriel grabbed Draco and kissed him fiercely. “With me, you can come with me, and I’ll show you everything!”

                                      The end!!

slash=incest WTF???

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 13:04:52 GMT

Okay I'm a mod on a Jonas Brothers fanfic site *looks away in shame* It's my friends site and she can't even think of the boys as having sex let alone hot gay sex, so I want the slash section for her. Well most of these nasty teenagers want the brothers to be doing each other. Now I personally have nothing against people writing incest, and some of you have even tempted me into reading it but mostly its a squick. However my friend does not want incest on her board- it's a rule you must agree to before signing up.

Anyway i keep getting people who are whining- why have a slash section if you don't allow incest. It's fine for the brothers to be gay- you have no rule about that.

Ummm hello but slash and incest are two completely different categories! You can have het incest! OMG they are so stupid, and seriously do they think all gay men are lusting after their brothers? WTF

Anyway I'm done ranting I just wanted to complain to those who would understand.

Bye bye money hello fun

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 04:19:04 GMT

Chapter Eighty-two

Lucius Malfoy snarled as his robe got tangled in yet another bush. They should have already been at the castle, but the forest seemed to be fighting them for every step. Looking down at the clear path before him, Lucius rushed forward. He could see the last of the children rushing towards the castle; if he hurried he could catch a few. His foot caught in a tree root and he fell, landing solidly on the now rocky ground. Waiting for his breath to return Lucius heard soft laughter in the trees. The groans of pain from the other Death Eaters were the only thing that cheered him up. Thankfully their Lord was not with them, he would Portkey in when Lucius let him know it was safe to arrive. Pulling himself up, Lucius carefully walked forward, seething as he saw the children had disappeared into the castle.

________________________________________________

His lungs burned as he ran through the castle. He had to get to the Potions lab. Sliding to a stop, his shoulder painfully connected with the heavy wooden door. Whispering the password, Draco burst into the room, slamming the door behind him. Looking at the clock, he groaned: 9:55. Looking at his clothes Draco ran off to his room to change.

At 10pm Draco ran back into the lab, his dark gray battle robes swirling around him. The potion hadn’t changed color! Rainbow colors still swirled through the thick liquid. He had failed, oh Merlin! Draco’s body began to shake with fear. The clock began to strike the hour. Draco froze, his eyes fixed firmly on the potion; he didn’t breathe, didn’t blink, nothing moved as he waited, all his hope and faith in the swirling liquid. As the ninth chime sounded the potion darkened and then turned midnight blue with iridescent white flecks.

“YES!” Draco shouted. Grabbing the potion off the shelf, Draco ran.

“Draco!” Blaise and Pansy shouted as they saw him. “Where are you going?”

The blond didn’t answer. He didn’t have time; he had to get to Gabriel. Rushing outside he could already see the Death Eaters emerging out of the forest. There was a blue glow around Hogwarts, and several students were transported out onto the lawn. When he saw Gabriel and his father talking Draco thought his heart would stop. There was no turning back now.

“I want to stay!” Tatiana demanded as she stomped her foot.

“We need you to be safe.” Vincent insisted as he hugged her goodbye.

“We can help,” Aubrey sniffed his large lavender eyes pleading.

“And you will,” Mudiwa said as he kissed his cheek. “At Oma’s you and the others will sit down and focus all your love into the crystal and we will send that energy to Gabriel.” Aubrey nodded, obviously not happy, but knowing nothing was going to change.

“Come on,” Ria said, holding Talha in one arm and reaching out to the others.

“We need to go so we can call everyone together as quickly as possible.” Elena kissed Soto. “I’ll see you soon.”

“Yes, as soon as is possible.”

With tears in their eyes the Portkey activated.

“Now that the women and children are gone, what should we do first?” Adonis asked.

Vincent blinked. “I didn’t realize we had sent away all the women, I didn’t think of it like that. Anyway, we need to sit in a circle with me in the middle; I’ll be the connection between the other groups and Gabriel.”

Quickly they all got into position. Clearing their minds they connected to Vincent, with their strength and energy ready to be sent to their Cherub.

The trees rustled, and shouts were heard. A werewolf howled. And Gabriel began to speak. Vincent took a deep breath, not letting his fear cloud his thoughts. He could feel glimmers of the other groups, but there wasn’t a true connection yet. Splitting his focus, Vincent touched the edge of Gabriel’s aura ready to send the energy on to him, but not wanting to distract his son.

_______________________________________________

Gabriel walked out of the tent into the crisp night air. The full moon hung low in the sky and lit the snowy ground in its soft light. Stars twinkled in the clear sky. It didn't look as if a battle was about to happen, as if evil itself was about to descend upon the school. Gabriel closed his eyes, feeling for where the Death Eaters were coming from, before walking out to where they would be emerging from the forest. Smoothly he knelt on the ground mindless of the cold.

"Hogwarts, please I need your help," Gabriel whispered as he connected with the wards. “Evil men are coming and hoping to take over the school. Please, I need your help to engage the ward allowing only those who mean no harm into the school." The castle's magic and sentience answered with a reassuring hum and together they pulled one of the oldest wards out of the very ground itself. It was a ward set up by Salazar Slytherin with the help of druids. It would block anyone, magical or Muggle, from approaching the castle. Slowly the ancient spell was brought to life; it pulsed and shuddered then burst forth only a few feet from the castle edge creating a sphere of protection around the school.

Worried that there could already be supporters of the Dark Lord in the castle, Gabriel directed the spell to scan Hogwarts. It wasn't long before several students appeared at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, ejected by the magic. After sending the castle his thanks Gabriel stood. Curses could be heard along with painful crashes. The trees sparkled with multi-colored lights as the fairies slowed the Death Eaters down. The students expelled from the castle gathered closely and glared at Gabriel while whispering furiously, too afraid to actually do anything just yet. Just as he saw figures in the trees Gabriel heard footsteps behind him. Turning, he gasped. There stood Hermione, Ron, Seamus, Luna, Justin, Dean, Neville and several other students who were in Hermione’s defense group. "What’s going on? What are you doing out here?"

"This is our world too, and we want to help protect it." Ron said his voice strong yet uncertain.

"You do understand that Death Eaters are coming and that I fully expect to see Voldemort himself soon?" The angry howl of a werewolf echoed through the night. "That was a werewolf; please go back inside where it's safe."

"No," Hermione stuttered. "We are going to help.”

Black robed figures broke through the foliage; it was too late.

"The castle and the forest are the safest places to go if you need any help. Stay behind me and don't attack until they do," Gabriel ordered the students. Getting nods of agreement he turned to the approaching Death Eaters. There were at least a hundred led by Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange. "Good evening, can I be of any help?" Gabriel asked as he walked forward.

"You foolish brat!" Lucius snarled. "You will fall this night."

"Well, you can certainly try."

"You stupid boy, how can we fail?" the mad witch cackled. "The Dark Lord's most powerful followers are before you, and behind us hungry vampires and werewolves."

As if summoned the dark creatures walked out of the forest stepping into the pale moonlight. Several of the students cried out in fear, and the creatures responded with cruel smiles, showing their fangs.

It was time. Reaching into his shirt Gabriel pulled out the amulet and lengthened the chain enough to hold it above his head. Walking forward he called out, "I am a member of the Magical Creatures Council, if you attack me, you attack them."

Lucius was unaware that the dark creatures had begun backing up, as out of the shadows the council began to appear, Lysander and his team coming behind the group, swords drawn ready for battle. The surface of the lake rippled, and Selkie warriors emerged from the dark water, their magic swirling around their hands, black eyes cold and calculating.

Hermione gasped and looked around. "Ron, look!" Turing to the roof of the castle Ron and the others saw dozens of vampires waiting, silhouetted in the moonlight.

"Your necklace means nothing, boy. And if you think for one minute that we're afraid of you and your little friends, you’re sorely mistaken."

As one the Death Eaters raised their wands. "Crucio!"

Gabriel threw up a shield protecting everyone standing behind him, As the spells ended Gabriel fell to the ground with a gasp.

"Children shouldn't do such power spells, aw… poor ikkle baby," Bellatrix crooned.

"Gabriel!" Draco called, falling to his knees next to his lover. "Baby, are you okay?" Taking his limp boyfriend in his arms, Draco made eye contact with his father and gave a slight nod. "Love, I need you to drink this for me, okay? It will help, but it will take a while to take effect." With a trembling hand Draco pressed the vial to Gabriel's red lips and watched the potions disappear.

Lifting his hand to his mouth Lucius spoke into his ring. "It is safe, my Lord."

The students screamed as Voldemort appeared before them, his gray skin even more ghastly in the moonlight and his red eyes glowing. Walking towards the black-haired boy he grinned triumphantly. "It is time this is ended. You and your little friends can do nothing! Congratulations, young Malfoy, you shall be properly rewarded for your help."

"You lying snake!" Ron yelled.

"Lucius, Bellatrix, please take care of these insolent children, and clear the way into Hogwarts for me. I'll take care of Potter."

Gabriel gasped and forced his body into a kneeling position, he desperately wanted to meet Tom on his feet.

"No, don’t bother getting up," Voldemort sneered as he walked closer. Gabriel heard his classmates call out spells as the Death Eaters advanced on them. Reaching over his shoulder, Gabriel pulled his sword out of its scabbard with a groan. The metal rang as it hit the ground. "Don't worry, boy, when I re-tell this story I’ll make sure to say how you fought until the very end."

Black robes swirled in front of him, and Gabriel looked up.

"You have great strength, and no control. I've recently come across a spell to remove a person’s magical core; you will stay still while I try it out on you. Draco, hold him."

Draco’s arms wrapped around Gabriel as a skeletal hand reached down and touched his forehead. As soon as the cold finger touched his skin, Gabriel leapt into action. Pushing off the ground he drove the katana through Voldemort's body. The razor sharp steel cut through his body like it was nothing, the silver tip bursting out his back. In that moment a hundred different things happened. Gabriel began to chant the ancient incantation. Fawkes and Mbiriviri appeared, dropping Aurora onto the Dark Lord. Aurora bit the madman, injecting him with poison. Instantly his nervous system began to shut down, and a huge amount of Voldemort's magic went into fighting the poison rather than Gabriel.

The two phoenixes circled around them creating a circle of protection, which no one could enter. They began singing and a glow surrounded the Dark Lord's body as his soul was called forth.

Draco prayed the potion would work. His wand was drawn and he was ready to help when he could. His father pounded on the barrier, glaring at him, and Draco knew his father would try and kill him as soon as he got the chance.

A voice called out over the battle. "I am Voltaire, head of the Magical Creatures Council. Those of you who would like protection sit down now and we will see to you after the battle; for those of you who choose to fight, we will kill you." Pausing a moment Voltaire waited to see if anyone would sit down. He was happy when several vampires and werewolves sat right where they were. "Attack!"

The vampires swooped down from the roof of the castle. Surrounding the students they fought against the Death Eaters. Voltaire smiled as the children sent out curses from between them.

The Selkies surged forward, calling to the water inside those who would hurt them. Jaime closed his eyes as he took all the water from an enraged werewolf. Hurrying he tried to get to his friend.

Lysander grinned as the call to attack was heard. Ruthlessly he cut down those in front of him, his sword whistling as it sliced through the night. One of the other vampires yelled: "Merrik!" A tall, vicious-looking vampire came forward.

"I was hoping I would meet you tonight," Lysander snarled.

"Do you want to join me?"

"No, I seek vengeance."

"For whom?"

"Marcy."

Merrik’s eyes widened. He attacked. Before he even touched Lysander his body was in two pieces on the forest floor. Merrik blinked up at the angry warrior.

"You will not hurt anyone else ever again!" With one fluid stroke Lysander severed the vampire's head from his body. Lysander allowed himself a brief second of satisfaction before turning back to the battle. More than half of the remaining vampires were now sitting down.

A blinding explosion of light had the vampires shying away. Neville was separated from the group.

"Poor wittle baby, are you lost?"

For a moment he was caught between fear and anger, then he stood up, his back straight and head held high. Turning he faced the woman who took his parents from him.

"What's the little baby going to do?" Bellatrix cooed at him as she raised her wand.

Strength and power flowed into Neville; he raised his wand and a green light shot from it and the insane witch fell to the ground.

Gabriel, meanwhile, was shaking with effort. Energetically he followed the sword into Tom's body and then began looking for his soul. At first he couldn't find it, and then the potion Draco had fed him started to take effect. Suddenly he could see the wispy fragment of Tom's soul. Everything else slipped away and Gabriel's focus was sharp and clear. It wasn't as hard to work with the spiritual world as he'd feared it would be, especially with a battle going on all around him.

As he chanted, cobweb-thin strands went out from the shard of soul. As he continued to chant Gabriel sent his magic into the soul fragment and down the strands; it took longer than he'd expected for his magic to reach the different pieces of Voldemort's soul. Gabriel took a raspy breath. He felt as if he couldn't breathe, his body, magic and life-force were all stretched to their very limits. Focusing on the soul energy Gabriel began to pull the pieces together. Merlin, it was hard; he wasn't sure he could do it. Slowly he pulled on the pieces of soul, trying desperately to loosen them from their prison.

Vincent was becoming desperate; the energy wasn't any greater than when he'd felt the first spark. He gasped as his son’s aura shrank almost to nothing. They needed to do something soon! Gabriel’s life-force flickered. “No, please no!” Vincent cried in his mind. The spark began to grow. Slowly at first, then in a rush of magic, love and power. Instantly the gypsies added their own and sent it to Gabriel. They breathed as one keeping the connection open, sending their beloved Cherub everything they could.

Gabriel screamed as his body was flooded with even more power. Groaning he pulled again, and the soul began to draw together. He could feel his family with him. As the energy kept coming, the different parts of the soul moved closer and closer together. Throwing everything he had into Tom's soul, Gabriel finished the incantation. The soul fragments and magic combined, swirling together until the pieces were once again together, and whole.

Gabriel laid back against Draco. His face and lips were colorless and his breath was coming in shallow pants. Voldemort’s body was lifeless beside them and Tom Marvolo Riddle hovered above them. He was a handsome teenager once again. Transparent tears fell down his cheeks. "Thank you, Gabriel Alec Dragonheart."

Tom disappeared into a soft golden light as Gabriel collapsed.

"NO! Merlin, Gabriel, please no!" Draco screamed tears filling his eyes. The two phoenixes landed on Gabriel’s still body and began to cry.

"Gabriel!"

Draco turned and saw his lover's family rushing from the tents.

Despite the fall of their leader the Death Eaters didn't stop fighting. Adonis saw Severus fighting against a man with a pug nose and black hair. Behind him a troll-like man came up and pointed his wand at Severus' back. Running with everything he had Adonis rushed to save his lover, throwing himself the last few feet. Adonis screamed as his leg was sliced open, the force of the intercepted curse breaking his bone.

"You are no longer protected, Draco."

Lucius stepped closer to his son. Draco’s arms were filled with his lover and two crying phoenixes. "Thank goodness I have your brother as my heir."

A flash of silver flew through the air as a throwing star sank deeply into Lucius' wrist. Before he could react he felt a sharp burning in his leg. Looking down he saw a black, iridescent snake slithering away towards his son. Lucius couldn't even say a word before he fell to the ground.

"Are you okay? How is he?" Vincent asked Draco as he fell to his knees.

"I don't know. I can feel him breathing but each breath shakes his whole body, and he's so pale."

"If you can clear a path I can carry him to the hospital wing."

"Yes," Draco answered, "let's go."

As they turned towards the castle they saw all the Death Eaters had been taken care of. Mudiwa was carrying a very bloody Adonis as Severus guided him through the crowds. Naveen and Soto were helping the injured. Feeling a tug on his robes, Draco looked down and picked up Aurora. "Thank you for killing him. Let's go, we don't want to miss it when he wakes up."

Draco felt his heart falter as Gabriel's limp body swayed with his father's movements. He just had to be okay.

Self-discipline???

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:19:34 GMT

How does one instill self-discipline? Do I yell, threaten and punish until I see what I think Boy child should be doing? Do I let it go and have him suffer if he doesn't get what he wants- even if that means college? Do I set an expectation of behavior and then with no nagging give a set consequence when he doesn't do it? And how do I accomplish these things when I'm the only adult doing it?

Looking for a fic

witchdragongc@gmail.com — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 21:11:09 GMT

Okay I have looked and can't find this one. Harry sees Draco in a bar- his friends don’t know he's gay- Harry and Draco haven't met (Draco went to another school) Harry is an Auror and a virgin- they have sex for the first time in the club.
Anyone know what I', looking for???

Also while I'm asking any strong Draco stories to rec? I've been reading lots of delicate snooty Draco (which is much fun) But I'm up for some strong Draco now.
Thank you!!!

Chapter Eighty-one

Song lyrics are underlined.

9pm

Headmaster Dumbledore tugged on his beard as he contemplated the current situation. Voldemort and his Death Eaters had not attacked the Ministry, or anywhere else for that matter. He had sent everyone home at eight when nothing had happened. Molly had been overjoyed to know her husband and sons were coming home without having to fight.

Dumbledore's frown turned into a soft smile as his children spilled out from the gypsy’s tent. Their laughter reached his ears up in the tower. He watched as friends laughed and helped each other up the slippery path to the castle. Sweethearts kissed and held hands. Straightening his posture, Dumbledore knew he had to do whatever was necessary to ensure that his children were safe and would be free to live their lives without fear. Yes, sending the gypsies to Voldemort would not only ensure Gabriel’s compliance, but would also secure his spy's place at Voldemort’s side. It wouldn’t be too long, and hopefully there would not be too many more necessary sacrifices to rid the world of Voldemort and his followers.

The clock chimed the quarter hour and Dumbledore withdrew from the window, confident that Severus would find the groups of wayward children hiding behind the tent and dancing. He was just pouring a cup of tea when the fire blazed green.

“Professor Dumbledore! The ministry is under attack! They have vampires and werewolves with them.”

“I’m coming, Kingsley. Let me contact the Weasleys and I’ll be right along.”

“Yes, sir, tell them to use the storage room Floo, it’s secure.”

Dumbledore threw a pinch of Floo power into the fire. “The Burrow! Arthur, are the boys with you? The Ministry has been attacked. They've brought vampires and werewolves with them.”

Molly cried out as Arthur knelt in front of the fire. “Yes, Albus, we are all here. We’ll go to the Ministry directly.”

“Wait, Dad!” called Fred.

“We have some new toys to try out, we need to go to the shop first,” finished George.

“Very well. Percy, Bill and Charlie get your things. We’ll see you there, Headmaster.”

“Thank you, gentlemen. Molly, could you Floo the other Order members? We will need all the help we can get.”

“Yes, yes of course. What about the other teachers?”

“I’ll be asking Minerva and Filius to join me. Remus, Sirius and Severus are at the dance, I want the children to have this last night as it seems war is now fully upon us.”

Molly dabbed at her eyes with her pink handkerchief. “Yes, quite right, they deserve one more night of peace. Thank you, Headmaster.”

Dumbledore nodded and withdrew from the flames. When he arrived at the Ministry the storeroom was empty. He could hear the shouting and ran out to help. There was nothing but chaos: people screaming in pain and yelling for help. Bright flashes of spells lit up hallways, and Dumbledore could see that currently there were more Death Eaters than warriors for the Light.

The Weasleys, Minerva and Filius came up behind him, and joined in the fight. A few minutes later the twins showed up, and they cackled as they threw small, soft objects into the air. When they hit they exploded and liquid sprayed out covering those near them. The people were unharmed but the vampires and werewolves howled in pain and fury.

“Yes!” the twins shouted in triumph. They lobbed the colorful balls everywhere and soon the side of Light was gaining the upper hand.

More order members arrived. Dumbledore smiled, only those at the school weren’t here.

“We need to set up the wards!”

“Merrik, Samuel, cover us; it is time!”

Dumbledore rushed to stop them, trying to shout when a body fell, landing in the middle of the floor. Minister Fudge lay dead, his body broken and bloody. Cheers of victory and screams of horror filled the hall, making it impossible for Dumbledore to stop those casting the wards. The Headmaster could feel the pressure of the wards and knew that Apparating, either out or in, was now impossible.

“I challenge you, Lucius Malfoy!”

The blond paused for a moment and then turned in shock, as Dumbledore bore down upon him.

“I have heard Voldemort is here also; would he be brave enough to face me?”

Lucius snarled as the snake-like lord appeared at his side.

“Well, Tom, not looking too good,” Dumbledore quipped.

“Dumbledore, you’re a fool.”

Then both Death Eaters doubled over in pain. A moment later Flint and Crabbe senior stood there.

“Where? Why?” the old man whispered.

“Our lord will own your precious school by morning.” And before Dumbledore could respond he was hit in the back by the killing curse.

Minerva screeched in horror. Without thinking she sent the killing curse to the black-robed figure who had cast the curse at Dumbledore. Umbridge lay on the floor, her toad-like face frozen in surprise. Following their leader's death, the members of the Order attacked with a viciousness never seen before from them.

Blood dripped from Merrik’s teeth. “I love it when my food is feisty.”

Smoke growled in happiness, not able to answer more in his wolf form.

“I think these creatures need to be dealt with once and for all, brother.”

“I agree, brother dearest.” Together the red-headed twins levitated all of their balloons spreading them out over the battle, and as one dropped them together. Liquid silver and trapped sunlight exploded over everyone. Inhuman screams filled the air, and the creatures collapsed onto the floor.

Only a handful of Death Eaters remained standing, and were easily captured.

“Fred! George! I’m so proud of you both.” Arthur said as he pulled his boys into a hug.

“Dad, you kicked arse! McNair never stood a chance!”

“Oh, well,” stammered their father as he blushed.

“Is everyone okay?” Fred asked.

“I don’t know yet. We need to set up one team to locate and stabilize the wounded, and another to work at breaking the wards so we can leave. Flint said Voldemort was going to attack Hogwarts, and if you look around none of his favorites are here.”

“Oh Merlin, the kids are having a dance; they aren’t even in the castle!” Tonks cried.

Arthur’s face hardened. “Very well; who here knows about wards? Those of you with your hands up, go with Filius and Bill.”

“Charlie, you know basic healing spells, does anyone else?” Only five others raised their hands. “Right then, the back hallway is relatively clear so we can use it as a temporary hospital.”

“I’ll organize people to look for survivors plus any supplies that could be useful.” Minerva offered through her tears.

“Thank you. Right, everyone, lets get to work!” As he heard a clock chime ten times, Arthur prayed they would get out in time to help protect Hogwarts.

9:10pm the dance

Draco entered the tent with the others and looked around, wondering what would happen next. The tent was much darker now; the lights had been turned down so everything was covered in a soft glow. You could see easily, but it would also be easy to hide a lot. Once everyone was settled Mudiwa came out onto the dance floor. He had changed and was now wearing a midnight black vest, which covered very little, and a pair of seemingly painted-on black slacks.

“Welcome back, I’m sure you’re all wondering what has changed besides the lighting. Well, the music is much more provocative,” Mudiwa's deep voice made everyone shiver as he spoke. “We thought about making you all wait, however, we are here to please.” Several of the girls squeaked as he said this. His resulting chuckle made many knees weak. “I hope none of you are disappointed. And please join us on the floor at any time.”

Vincent, Soto, Adonis, and Gabriel joined Mudiwa. All of them had changed into tight revealing clothing; at the moment it was Gabriel’s outfit that held Draco’s attention. Black leather encased his legs, and was laced up the sides leaving an inch-wide strip of bare skin visible from his feet all the way to his hips. His top was a see-through black tee shirt which left nothing hidden. The men on the dance floor froze, then a voice screamed and a thrumming beat started.

Together they moved in the most sinfully erotic way, switching movements between hard thrusts and sinuous circles. They rubbed against each other in a way that had everyone blushing. Draco caught site of Severus and saw his wide eyes and flushed cheeks. Looking further he noticed Remus holding Sirius back, apparently he wasn’t as happy with the show as everyone else.

Turning back to the gypsies, Draco raised an eyebrow as the men separated and spread out strategically, placing Gabriel directly in Draco’s line of sight and Adonis in Severus’. Gabriel looked right into Draco's gray eyes as he brought his hand up to his neck and dragged it down his body, even as his body undulated.

“Let me show you baby I’m a talented boy.”

Draco’s breathing came in quick gasps as Gabriel continued to dance, each movement a perfect complement to the naughty lyrics. Draco felt drawn to his lover and it was only sheer force of will that kept him from going down there and fucking the brunette into submission.

As soon as that song ended another began this time the music was more bouncy and the gypsies reached out pulling people onto the floor. Draco growled as Gabriel returned to the floor with Longbottom. Neville seemed like he wanted to get away, so to prevent that Soto came up behind the boy. Soon the three of them were pressed together, Gabriel and Soto guiding Neville’s movements.

“Push it, push it real good.”

“Well those lyrics don’t leave any question as to what they mean, now do they,” Blaise quipped. “I’m going down there to see if I can get into Neville’s place for the next song, 'bye!”

Draco turned to growl but only saw the back of Blaise’s shirt. Stomping to his chair Draco sat down and sipped on his butterbeer. He wasn’t worried; he didn’t need to see what was going on. The current song was much slower and the lyrics didn’t seem that provocative. Draco relaxed into the chair with a sigh.

“I want your sex.”

Draco shot up and looked over the railing where Blaise and Gabriel were wrapped around each other. Blaise is straight, for fuck's sake! Draco screamed in his head. It didn’t seem to be stopping him from putting his filthy hands all over Draco’s boyfriend!

“Instead of glaring at them as if you could make them die, why don’t you just go and dance with Gabriel,” Pansy advised.

“I’m sure they're just fine. I’m not worried,” Draco answered unconvincingly.

“What’s your definition of dirty, baby? What do you call pornography? Don’t you know I love you till it hurts me, baby? Don’t you think it’s time you had sex with me?”

Pansy laughed as Draco rushed down the stairs and ripped Blaise away from Gabriel.

“Did you miss me?” Gabriel asked his voice filled with laughter.

“I don’t want anyone else dancing with you like that,” Draco snarled.

“Then you’ll just have to stay with me, won’t you?”

Determined to wipe that superior look off Gabriel’s face, Draco kissed him fiercely. Normally Gabriel would let him control their kisses, but not tonight. Gabriel thrust his tongue in Draco’s hot mouth claiming every part for himself. Draco melted under the passion of the kiss and eagerly let Gabriel take charge. Draco didn’t even notice the song ending as they moved together and snogged.

“I don’t want to interrupt anything, however I do want to take a moment to thank Professors Snape, Lupin and Black for chaperoning this evening.” Soto led everyone in a round of applause. “This next song is for them.”

As the music began, Adonis snuck off to find Severus while Sirius dragged Remus onto the dance floor. The two men danced far more respectably than the kids around them.

“And I’m hungry like the wolf.”

Gabriel could see Remus blushing in the dim light. Sirius threw his head back and laughed, pulling his lover closer to him. Looking around, Gabriel didn’t see any sign of Adonis at all. Happily he returned his attention to Draco, running his hands up the blond's sides as he sung along.

“I’m on the hunt I’m after you.”

Sweat dripped down his skin and his breath came in short pants. Gabriel closed his eyes for a moment, just enjoying the feel of his lover’s body against his. Draco had stayed with him, and they were both happily tired from dancing for so long. Gabriel wanted to dance to one more song with Draco and then he was going to drag him off to his bedroom.

“I can’t believe Muggles wrote a song about masturbation,” Draco whispered into his ear.

“Does that mean you don’t think about me when you touch yourself?”

Draco inhaled sharply, his erection growing even harder.

“I want to dance to one more song, and then take you to my bedroom,” Gabriel purred.

“And what will you do with me there?”

Gabriel chuckled. “Don’t you mean what will you do to me?”

Draco placed soft kisses on Gabriel’s neck. “No. I want you to make love to me. I want your hard cock in me. Fucking me. Making me scream.”

Gabriel’s body shuddered in pleasure. “Merlin, Draco, you drive me crazy. I want to take you away right now, but I’ve dreamed of you while listening to this song.”

“You have promised me one more dance. You’ll just have to control yourself.”

“That sounds like a challenge. Maybe it will be you who loses control.”

“Not likely,” Draco scoffed. “What’s the song anyway?”

“Closer, by Nine Inch Nails.”

Gabriel slowed his movements to the deep thumping rhythm. Running one hand down to Draco’s slim hip he grabbed it tightly, rubbing his thumb firmly over the sensitive ridge. Draco gasped just as Gabriel’s other hand reached into his hair and tugged. For a moment Draco thought about fighting the obvious domination, and then let go. Gabriel growled low in his throat as his lover’s body relaxed against his.

“You make me violate you.”

Gabriel slid a firm thigh between Draco’s legs, offering support and teasing stimulation. “Look at me,” Gabriel demanded.

Fluttering his eyes, Draco did as he was told. And just in time as Gabriel sang along with the song causing Draco’s insides to clench in desire:

“I wanna fuck you like an animal.
I wanna feel you from the inside.
I wanna fuck you like an animal.
My whole existence is flawed.
You bring me closer to God.”

Draco twisted his hands in Gabriel’s shirt, holding on as Gabriel controlled their movements. Leaning down, Draco licked the edge of the ear in front of him. “I’ve been dreaming about you taking me… what it will feel like to have you inside of me, to give myself to you… to feel that vulnerable, that open and exposed.”

Gabriel shuddered, and tightened his grip. Draco felt a twinge of pain as his hair was pulled, but the waves of pleasure from his hip made it delicious. Draco sucked on the lobe and worried it with his teeth. “Will you be gentle with me?" he whispered. "As if I’m made of porcelain… or will I get to feel all of the power within you? Will your magic wrap around me as your body forces its way into me? Will I tingle and ache afterwards? The next morning will I still feel your presence within me, or will it have faded away?”

Keeping his hands where they were, Gabriel lifted Draco up, causing the blond to squeak and wrap his long legs around his lover’s waist. Gabriel didn’t stop dancing, as he held Draco to him taking all of his weight. Their erections rubbed together, and both were on the edge of coming. Draco was just about to warn Gabriel that he was close when Gabriel released his magic and Draco cried out, coming hard. He could feel Gabriel everywhere as his lover’s magic surrounded and filled him. Without a spell being uttered or any sign of intention, Draco was cleaned.

“Oh, Merlin,” Draco whispered. Opening his eyes he looked down into glowing green. He could still feel the hardness of his lover’s cock and ground himself into it. Gabriel’s eyes darkened, and his hands tightened again. Draco couldn’t wait to see the bruises Gabriel’s fingers were making on his hip. “Are you going to take me to bed now?”

“I should throw you over the nearest surface and fuck you in front of everyone.” Gabriel said as he began walking towards his room. Suddenly he stopped. His magic went from passionately hot to cold in a second; the music stopped suddenly. “Everyone needs to get to the castle, Voldemort’s here.”

Draco could feel the horror filling him. Fumbling for his wand he cast a Tempus while he got off of Gabriel. 9:45 – it wasn’t ready yet!

“Gabriel listen to me,” he pleaded. “I have a plan and I can get you close to the Dark Lord, but I need you to wait for me. Please promise me!”

“You should stay in the castle.”

“No, I won’t. Promise me!” Draco pleaded; his gray eyes locked to emerald green as if he could force the promise out of him with sheer will.

“Only if you promise to be safe and get away as soon as you can.”

“Yes, anything,” Draco lied.

“Then hurry! I will wait, but I don’t know that he will.”

“How long do we have?” Draco asked as he joined the crowd headed for the castle.

Gabriel closed his eyes. “They’re in the Forbidden Forest. Ten, fifteen minutes at the most.”

“I’ll be back, wait for me!” Draco called as he began to run, praying to anyone who would listen for just a few more minutes.

“I love you,” Gabriel called as he closed his eyes. His clothes were replaced with battle robes, and his sword was strapped to his back. Turning to his family he held his fathers tightly. “Go! Go now, I won’t be able to keep you safe. I love you, and thank you for everything.”

“We will see you soon,” Mudiwa grumbled.

“We love you, never forget that,” Vincent said as they moved away.

Gabriel took a deep breath steeling himself for what was to come. The last of the students had left and were close to the castle. Calmly he walked into the night, for the last time.

Okay let's see where to begin.

My car died- it isn't coming back, so we all have bikes now and will be using those and the bus to get around. I feel pretty good about it, but it really is changing my whole outlook on how I go about my life. It should be interesting to see how everything comes together.

Work- It is going well- but these teenage girls drive me nuts- especially because they are always running off or sneaking away. I really need to either figure out how to stop them, or let go of my sense of responsibility in what they do.

Family- Everyone is doing well. hubby's work is good. He's really busy I'll have to post pictures when he gets this garden finished. Girl child is excited about doing several new classes this fall. Boy child went to San Fransisco and Wyoming this month and had a great time at both places. He can now juggle and do zippo lighter tricks.

I'm good, once I finish ch 83 my story will be completed, next I'm going to work on an original fiction. I've hired a life coach- I've only had one session with her and already things are coming up and I'm seeing negative behavior patterns. It's exciting and scary! So if I'm crazier than normal, now you know why LOL!

I hope everyone is doing well.
