Chapter Six, The Mate Meet

Chapter Six, The Mate Meet

After having lunch, the guys all followed Mia and Chantelle as they did a bit of shopping before they all headed home.
"Good afternoon, Mistress and Masters." Dobby greeted, when the trio shadowed into the kitchen. There was a large pile of favours at the bottom of the table which was sorted into two piles, and a tray of honey tea, green tea, coffee and milky tea for Dobby were sat in the middle.
"Hi Dobby." Mia replied happily, taking a seat at the table and holding her arm out to Hedwig who landed on her arm and snuggled into her. "Dobby has deep cleaned the whole house, weeded the garden, and done the washing. Dobby has also sorted those letters for Mistress into two piles; on the left are letters from males and on the right are ones from females. There's no curses on them Dobby checked." Dobby informed them, as he climbed into his seat opposite Mia.

"You didn't need to do all that Dobby, but thank you." Mia replied.
"We have something to tell you, Dobby. Mia is expecting twins instead of one baby. One baby will be mine and the other André's." Fred revealed to Dobby, who squeaked happily and nearly fell out of his chair as he proclaimed he had to start making double and he'll let the family know later.
"There's another thing, Dobby." André said more gravely. "We had to set up a Ward to protect Mia as someone sent some letters with an abortion curse and other things weaved into it. We've reported it so it'll get dealt with but please can you check each one that arrives just in case?" He asked.
"Of course Dobby will! How can they do that to my Mistress! Evil, evil people!" Dobby ranted. Dobby took a deep breath to calm down a few minutes later before he spoke again.

"Don't touch those letters, Mistress, Dobby will do a deeper scan. I will not have my Mistress or her babies harmed! No I shall not!"
"Thank you Dobby but make sure you get some rest and relax too." Mia said, as she stood up and changed Hedwig's food and water after cleaning out the bowls, at the base of her stand there were enchantments around the stand to catch, clean the stand, and vanish any droppings as soon as it touched the barrier.
"There we go girl. Some nice cold water as it's getting hot." Mia said, stroking Hedwig's feathers as she took a drink, while getting out an Owl Treat from the cupboard with her other hand. "I'm going to change." Mia said, once Hedwig was asleep a look in her eye as she swayed her hips as she left the kitchen. Fred was the first to react as he drained the last of his coffee and raced after Mia, scooping her up into his arms with André right behind them. As they made their way upstairs they ended up christening a number of places.

***

Later that afternoon when they awoke from their nap after their daytime activities, Mia changed into a black lace pyjama set that was almost like lingerie with a blue, silk dressing gown over the top. She was sat propped up in bed with André and Fred on either side of her, discussing what to do with the favours.
"Favours started being sent as a way to shorten how long the Mate Meets went on for. They used to go on for weeks at a time. And those you reject normally won't turn up to the Meets." André explained. "You can only have one Alpha and one Beta as instead of having a stable mate-ship there'd be multiple fights breaking out all over the place.

Which isn't good for you or the children, or anyone really. But you can have multiple Protectors, Warriors and even Healers. If you don't like the scent, or you scent out any Alphas or Betas, or even if you don't like women a certain way, all you have to do is place your hand over them and will your magic and the shadows to send it back to them unopened."
"Doesn't that seem rude, though? Can't I at least - for the women dominants - place a letter on top stating why and apologising and thanking them for the favour?" Mia asked, a frown on her face.

"You, my love, are one of a kind." Fred said, kissing her temple lovingly, pride in his tone. "You can do that if you prefer, we'll help you duplicate the first letter so you don't have to keep writing it." He added.
"Thank you Freddie. Thank you André." Mia said gratefully, kissing their cheeks. "Dobby." She called. A second later Dobby appeared in the bedroom.
"What can Dobby be doing for his kind Mistress?" Dobby asked.
"I'd like to go through the favours please, if possible. Are they safe to go through?" Mia asked.
"Dobby has checked them and they are safe. No harm shall come to Mistress, her sweet babies or Dobby's kind Masters." Dobby informed them.

"Thank you Dobby. I want you to take a break if you wish after sorting all through them. I'll come down and collect them and grab a tray of tea." André said, climbing from the bed and wrapping a light green dressing gown over his boxers.
"Dobby can do the tea." Dobby insisted firmly. "Dobby has such a kind wizard family that Dobby shall do it gladly. Then Dobby shall take a break in the garden before starting dinner." Before they could argue Dobby popped away and returned a moment later with a tray with three cups, a small bowl of sugar, another small bowl of honey, a jar of milk, teaspoons and a teapot covered in a tea cozy.
"Thank you Dobby." Fred said, summoning some paper and a pen so he could help Mia pen the letters while they wait for the favours. It was going to be a long day.

***

The next morning, they all woke up bright and early as the Mate Meet would start at eleven. Heading into the bathroom Mia did her cleansing face routine and brushed her teeth at one sink, while Fred shaved and brushed his own teeth at the other, and André was in the shower. Then Mia got into the shower once André was out while he shaved and brushed his teeth, then finally Fred had a shower. As it was rather hot today Mia decided on a nice flowy purple summer dress that stopped at her knees at the front and trailed down to her calves at the back. Mia added the beige belt across her waist, brown sandals and gold bracelets before she worked on her hair and makeup. Mia put her hair in a half up half down style with the top half twisted back into a thick fishtail braid; for her makeup: she added purple eyeshadow, black winged eyeliner and mascara and finally fuchsia lipstick.

Adding a Stasis Charm so she didn't have to keep reapplying she left the closest only to come face to face with her gorgeous mates. Fred wore a blue checkered shirt, beige shorts, sunglasses hooked on the pocket of his shirt, the watch she got him for his fifteenth birthday on his left wrist, and brown loafers. Andre wore a white shirt with sunglasses in his pocket, blue jean shorts, white ankle socks and white and black converse.
"Wow, you look beautiful sweetheart." Fred said, kissing her temple lovingly and then taking her right hand and kissing the back of it.
"Mon amour, tu es superbe!" André exclaimed, copying Fred's actions but kissing her knuckles first and then her temple.
"Merci, mes amours." Mia replied, a wide grin spreading across her face when she got it right, given by André's proud and happy smile.

André has been teaching Fred and Mia some French everyday and it has become a sort of bonding experience for all of them.
"You both look amazing." Mia continued in English, pressing a soft loving kiss to both of their lips. "I love you both."
"I love you too." Fred and André replied together, the trio were smiling happily as they went downstairs and had a wonderful breakfast before shadowing to the Dragel Halls, inside the reception this time.
"Hello my darlings." Candice greeted them warmly, smiling widely at them. "I have a few things for you to know before you enter the Hall. First; the despicable and disgusting Dragel's who sent you those vile things have been apprehended and have been served the most severe punishment via the King himself." Candice informed them.

"They were executed, mi amour." André explained, spotting Mia's confused expression. "The King put that Law in place as his own daughter had suffered from such a curse when looking for her third and final mate, she lost the baby and it destroyed her. She hasn't been the same cheerful woman she used to be. So the King and Queen put that Law in place, mainly as a warning but also to protect Dragel's and their babies. They didn't want a family to go through the terrible experience that they went through. Here, if you purposely harm someone with the intent to kill, like sending that abominable spell, you pay with it with your life. Who was it?" André explained before turning and asking Candice.
"It was total shambles, I can tell you that. Elder Allen Von Barren's son Alexander sent the abortion curse. The Elder was executed along with his son early this morning as he knew about it." Candice explained angrily, practically vibrating with anger.

"The others who sent the fake scents have been heavily fined but it was also traced back to Von Barren as he'd sent three. The abortion curse, the fake scent and the compulsion. The Dominants who sent the other fake scents were his friends, most likely following Alexander. The lot of them never had much sense, nevertheless, they were all made to watch as the two Von Barren's were executed and warned this would be their fate if they did not change their ways."
"Thank Merlin for that." Fred breathed with relief. "What was the second thing?" He asked.
"Oh, yes!" Candice exclaimed, calming down from her anger. "You have two young Dragel's here already even though it's only 10:17. Before you ask they're Blaise Zabini and Damon Lestrange-Gerard."

"We spoke to them a little yesterday. They're nice and Blaise was in my year at Hogwarts." Mia replied, eager to see the two again which Candice took note of.
"Seems you are quite taken with them, sweetie, perhaps your Mate Meet will be rather quick. But be sure to give the others a fair chance, won't you?" Candice asked.
"Of course." Mia agreed, Fred and André nodded their heads. As the two new mates will also have to get along with André and Fred as well as Mia to create a harmonious Mate-ship that Mia and their children will feel safe in.
"Excellent. Now, good luck." Candice said, waving her hand to the door that said, 'Mate Meet'.

As they entered through the dark cherry wood doors Mia was amazed that this large room was styled exactly like the foyer on the other side of the door, except it had a three doors leading off the left side of the room, each door had something different written on them, 'private room', 'female bathroom' and 'male bathroom'. Mia guessed the private room is where they would hold one-to-one sessions. At the back of the room to the opposite of where they currently stood was a small dark wooden platform that already had three Warriors in their armour on the platform and a few dotted around the room just like the day before.

Like in the previous rooms, the floor was made of white marble with swirling grey patterns, and cream walls and large bay windows that made it feel more homey and welcoming, than grandeur. In the middle of the room on the main floor stood Elder Talbot talking to Damon while Blaise was talking to one of the Warriors.
"Ah, Mia, Fred, André." Elder Talbot greeted with a kind smile. "How're you three?"
"I'm a little nervous to be honest." Mia confessed, squeezing both André's and Fred's hands nervously, the pair kissed her head and squeezed her hands back soothingly.
"That's to be expected, but don't worry everything will be fine, I promise." Elder Talbot said, smiling at them. "Congratulations are in order. You always manage to surprise me." He added, with a cheeky smile.

"Thank you." Fred replied, smiling happily and rubbing his thumb over Mia's knuckles soothingly.
"Now, why we wait, for the others to arrive. Why don't you head into the private room and relax for a bit and either myself or Warrior Grettus will come get you when we're ready." Elder Talbot suggested.
"Thank you Elder Talbot and thank you for acting so quickly with those despicable favours." André said with a small growl towards the end.
"You don't have to thank me. I'm just sorry such a thing happened." Elder Talbot said with a small growl and disappointed shake of the head before he took his leave to inform Warrior Grettus, a tall dark skinned man with brightly coloured wings, of the plan.

Entering the private room, it was once again Mia who was amazed as Fred and André had been in here before. The walls were done in a soft cream colour with silver swirling patterns on them, royal blue carpet and two stone fireplaces on either end of the room, each with plush pastel blue armchairs, sofas and a cherry coffee table in front of it. It gave a semblance of privacy but the other seating area was close enough that Elder Talbot would hear and see everything that was going on, and could act quickly if it was needed. There were also large windows looking over the bazaar and bringing a lot of light to the room, silver curtains drawn back letting in the bright sunshine and the room had a cooling charm cast over it for the summer heat. André and Fred led the way to one of the sofas and sat down with Mia between them, the three didn't need to speak, they were just content to snuggle together.

***

Mia sighed in frustration as she looked over the still long list of Dominants she had to go through. At the start of the Meeting Elder Talbot had given her a clipboard with all the Dominants names, ages, wing and scale colours, wing length, genders and anything else she could need and they were listed in the order they arrived. Before they had begun she had already sent one Dominant, a year older than herself, away because he'd shouted at her to send all the older Dominants away so she'd purposefully started with the 'elder' Dominants.
"Do you need a break, sweetheart?" Elder Talbot asked kindly. "You've been going for two hours and you do need to eat."
"Maybe a few minutes." Mia agreed, setting the clipboard and pen on the coffee table.

There were more Dominants here than she expected and most of them never bothered to ask her questions and either only spoke about themselves or only spoke to Fred and André which made her mad. Some of the Dominants of the favours that she had turned away yesterday had turned up, including some Alphas and Betas but Elder Talbot, Warrior Grettus and Candice had turned them away as soon as they arrived as they had a list of those they'd turned away.
"Of course. I'll have some sandwiches and ice cold Butterbeers brought in." Elder Talbot assured, leaving the room and having Warrior Havrick take over for Warrior Grettus, so he can have a break before informing the Dominants to go get something to eat and be back here in thirty minutes.

Thirty minutes later, Mia had just finished taking her prenatal potions when Elder Talbot entered with the next Dominant he'd gone to fetch. Mia, Fred and André could already tell they weren't going to like him as he had his nose snobbishly in the air and was looking at Mia as if she was some sort of prize which made her fight back a growl. He was a tall man, a little shorter than Fred and André at 6"0 but he had a strong build, lime and khaki coloured wings of around 20 ft, dark brown hair and black coloured eyes.
"Alexci Ramirez, thirty years old. I am a Lord." He introduced himself with a thick Turkish accent.
"André Aubert, Alpha, owner and Founder of Guérison Potion." André introduced, a glare on his face and his arm around Mia's shoulders.

"Fred Weasley, Beta and Protector and co-owner of Weasleys Wizard Wheezes." Fred introduced a glare on his face and an arm around Mia's waist.
"Lady Mia Potter-Black -" Mia started but was cut off by Alexci.
"You are fond of the werewolf Remus Lupin, no?" Alexci asked rudely, seating himself opposite them and spitting out the word werewolf.
"Ramirez you cannot interrupt!" Elder Talbot said firmly, a frown upon his own face.
"Yes!" Mia said sassily, her magic becoming thick within the room at a threat to her remaining family.
"Do not speak to your Dominant in such a rude way, girl!" Alexci growled.
"You are not my Dominant!" Mia shouted, just as Fred and André shouted the same thing but Alexci ignored them.

"As my Submissive you will cut ties with the werewolf immediately. I will not have such-"
"Say another word about Remus I dare you!" Mia growled, her emerald eyes becoming brighter, her wings, claws and fangs bursting out and her claws coating in acidic. "Remus is the only father figure I have left and I will not have a pompous and self important arse like you, tell me who I can or cannot have in my life! I suggest you get out of my sight unless you want to feel the acidity of my claws and find out just how I defeated Voldemort!" She hissed.
"Well, I never!" Alexci roared, jumping to his feet as did Fred and André who stood in front of Mia, along with Elder Talbot who summoned Warriors Grettus and Havrick into the room and who immediately grabbed onto Ramirez's arms as soon as they entered. "I suggest you give her a good beating if you want her to obey you! Beat the fire out of her!" Ramirez hissed nastily at them.

Fred and André roared in anger and went to attack the horrible Dominant but Elder Talbot created a barrier between them, although even he was shaking in anger at Ramirez as he like Fred and André knew about Mia's home life, as were the two Warriors who looked like they too wanted to pummel him, despite not knowing about Mia's home life. To suggest such a thing was despicable and unacceptable.
"Get this piece of filth out of here!" Elder Talbot ordered.
"With pleasure." The two Warriors snarled.
"I shall be informing the King and Queen of your behaviour here today Ramirez and be assured an investigation will be taking place." Elder Talbot warned darkly, before he fully left through the open door. "Fred, André I know it's hard but calm yourselves for Mia's sake!" He warned the two, spotting the shock on her face. Knowing she was most likely going through a flashback.

"Darling, we will never do that to you and nor would we let anyone do that to you." André promised, kissing her temple.
"We will never let that happen to you, my love. I'll kill anyone who tries to harm you or our children." Fred promised, kissing her other temple. "I think it's best we finish here for today and continue tomorrow." He said to Elder Talbot.
"I agree. Make sure she has some chocolate and I'll inform the Dominants now." Elder Talbot agreed.
"Thank you." André said gruffly, before the three shadowed home. Once Mia had a piece of chocolate, they went upstairs to their room where Mia broke down in tears laying on the bed wrapped up in Fred's and André's arms until she cried herself to sleep.

***

The next morning Mia was still a little sad so Fred and André treated her to breakfast in bed, a massage and a nice bubble bath, before they had to get ready for the second day of Mate Meetings. They also decided to do something different as well. They were fed up of having to put Mia through Meets with shallow, snobbish and self-centred Dominants that they had written to Elder Talbot and confessed that they think Blaise and Damon were Mia's final mates and explained their reason for this. Elder Talbot had written back agreeing with them and with the amazing idea that he, Blaise, Damon and Warriors Grettus and Havrick meet them on the beach if they were agreeable and hold a private Meet there which would put less stress on Mia and the babies. Which Fred and André instantly agreed to.

"Where are we going?" Mia asked, confused, as they walked down to their beach instead of going to the Dragel Halls for the Mate Meet.
"We hated that you were so sad and stressed after yesterday so Fred and I wrote to Elder Talbot and explained that we think Blaise and Damon are your final mates as you could pick out their scents in a crowded Bazar and recognise the scents at the Ceremony before we met them." André explained.
"He agreed with us and came up with the amazing suggestion that we hold a private one at our beach. Just you me, André, Blaise, Damon, Elder Talbot and Warriors Grettus and Havrick." Fred finished explaining.
"So I don't have to deal with any more snobbish arseholes?" Mia asked hopefully, Fred and André laughed, shaking their heads. "Thank you. Thank you." She cried happily, hugging them both tightly and kissing their lips.

After making out with Mia for a few minutes they continued to the beach, a little late, and spotted Blaise and Damon dressed in summer clothes. Damon wore a white T-shirt, blue jean shorts and white and black trainers, whereas, Blaise wore black shorts, a light blue shirt and white plimsoles. And both of them were holding bouquets of lilies.
"For you Mia." Blaise said, holding out his bouquet. "I'm sorry you had to deal with all that yesterday. When I heard what that... thing said I wanted to tear him apart."
"You're not the only one." Fred, André and Damon said. Even the Warriors and Elder Talbot looked to be in agreement.
"Thank you, both of you." Mia said, happily accepting both bouquets when Damon handed her his and smelling them, letting out a happy sigh. "They're beautiful." Mia smiled. "Dobby!"

"What can Dobby be doing for his kind Mistress?" Dobby asked, bowing once he popped besides Fred.
"Could you please put these in water?" Mia asked, handing him the two bouquets.
"Of course Mistress." Dobby agreed, accepting the bouquets and popping away.
"If you join our family we treat Dobby as an equal and are kind to him." Mia warned firmly, the look in her eyes warned them that if they didn't agree then they could leave as she wouldn't be swayed.
"We would never be horrible to Dobby." Damon stated. "My...Sire may have been but my mother and father taught my siblings and I differently, so I'd be more than happy to follow your example. After all, it sets a good example to the children."

"You know I'm not like Draco, Mia. My mother and I were always courteous to our House-Elves but like Damon I will be warmer to Dobby I promise." Blaise promised, smiling when Mia beamed at him as they all sat down on the blanket to talk and get to know each other. Halfway through the day Damon offered to take a look at the Wards and strengthen them if they needed it, once they'd finished which André, Fred and Mia gratefully agreed to. While they were all talking Elder Talbot was writing things down on his clipboard while smiling happily at the five of them as they were happily getting along with each other and acting like a mate-ship was supposed to. After lunch he asked the all important question.
"So, Mia, you seem to be getting on really well with Blaise and Damon as do Fred and André. Are they your two final mates?" Elder Talbot asked seriously, stopping all conversation.

Mia thought about it seriously for a moment as she not only wanted what's best for her and her babies (as Fred and André told her was extremely important), she also wanted what was best for Fred and André as well as their future children. Fred and André got along really well with Blaise and Damon and there didn't seem to be any problems which was good as that was important for a stable mate-ship and family. She thought about someone else as her mates to see what her Dragel thought which would prove either way, when her Dragel growled loudly in the back of her mind.
'No! They're mine! MY MATES!'
"They're my new mates." Mia confirmed.
"Excellent." Elder Talbot beamed, writing something down on his clipboard. "I'll register these and notify the other Dominants. Congratulations." He added, just before he and the two Warriors shadowed away.

"Welcome to the family." Fred and André said together, holding out their hands to Blaise and Damon.
"Thank you." Blaise and Damon said happily, shaking their hands and kissing Mia's cheeks.
"How about a tour and then you can look at the Wards." Mia said, as she happily led the way back to the house. "Now, we can finally decorate the house." She cheered, making the four men laugh. All seemed to be going well and all they had to worry about is the introduction heat so Mia would mate with Blaise and Damon, the pack fight to sort out the pecking order between Blaise and Damon as André was Alpha and Fred was Beta, and making sure this pregnancy ran smoothly and they couldn't wait.
