THIRD POV

Severus groaned inaudibly at the stiffness in his neck as he tried to get up, only to feel a weight in his lap. Looking down, sadness etched on his face as the memories of last night resurfaced. Casting a tempus, Severus dubbed it late enough for Draco to get up. Putting a light sleeping spell and a monitoring charm on Harry, Severus gently awoke Draco- who promptly rolled over and tried to snuggle with the empty space next to him- only for the blonde male to jump up in concern. "Hush, Harry is asleep. He had a bad night. Come, we have some things to talk about." Severus quietly whispered as he prodded his amos from underneath the covers. Draco grumbled and grabbed his wand, casting a light warming charm over himself before getting up. Severus chuckled lightly and put Harry in Draco's place, cozying him up in the covers. Quickly nabbing Draco before he could walk to the bathroom, the pair walked to Tom's room. Still grumpy from being awoken, Draco refused to wake Tom up. Sighing, Severus pocketed Tom's wand from under the pillow and gently shook his animus. The reaction was instantaneous. Tom tensed, reaching under he pillow- and upon not feeling his wand- grabbed his and Severus' pillows to launch them at Severus and Draco with perfect aim. Severus batted it away with a lazy hand motion while Draco only squawked and fell on his bum. "Get off your lazy arse Tom! If I'm up, you're up." Tom gave a tired sigh as he sat up, holding out one hand for his wand while rubbing his eyes like a little child with his other one. Sensing his trap, Severus cast an aguamente spell and quickly picked up Draco, speeding down to the kitchen. Tom growled to himself and went to the bathroom for a towel, annoyed that he did not have his wand. A simple drying charm would do wonders in these types of situations... Draco laughed as Severus deposited him in a chair, continuing into the kitchen for his morning coffee. Severus silently walked back into the dining room a few minutes later, three cups carefully balanced in his arms. "Are you awake now Amos?" Draco shook his head with a happy grin on his face. "You did that to purposely wake us up, didn't you?" The only tell was the smirk that appeared on Severus' lips as he gently kissed Draco's head and set his coffee down in front of his submissive. A few minutes later, an english breakfast popped into existence in front of the pair as Tom walked into the room and silently summoned his wand to himself. Finally casting a drying charm, Tom straightened his robes and sat down next to Severus, taking a hash brown off his plate in revenge. Quickly, a plate appeared in front of him as well. Silence reigned as the mates dug into their meal. Placing his glass down next to his coffee, Severus politely dabbed a bit of mysteriously red liquid off of his lips and sighed, grabbing the attention of the two males on either side of him. "We need to talk about what we are going to do about Harry with the Hogwarts school year coming up. I will not allow my karus to be mistreated any longer by that dictator." Tom hummed as Draco glared at the table. "I'm also in Slytherin. I won't be able to protect him all the time. Especially with the fact that we are suppose to be mortal enemies." Severus grumbled to himself as his masterful mind picked up his limiter as well. "I will not be able to watch over him either. Changing our behavior in the smallest of ways could possibly alert Dumbledore that we are no longer under his potions and he may try to rectify the situation with a more dangerous solution." Tom cleared his throat and leaned forwards a little, drawing the attention of his submissives. "That is true, it'll be hard to keep him safe, but we must try. He'll have to know that we can't act differently in the public eye. I'm sure Harry'll understand, it's going to be hard on all of us." Tom took a quick sip of his coffee to let the thought sink in a little. "Why don't we take a trip to Diagon Alley for the day? We missed Harry's birthday, and he still needs to get his school supplies. It would be easy to slip away with the guise of having to buy something for the mansion or your studies... I suggest protection disguised as something mundane, but endearing for a gift, like, say, a charmed locket." Draco smiled mischievously, plans already forming in his mind. "I can't wait."
~Somewhere in Scotland, a shiver went down poor Professor McGonagall's back. "Dear heavens, what ever could that have been?"~
Severus and Tom chuckled at the expression on Draco's face, before Severus' eyes got a faraway look. "Harry's waking up, I'll bring him down." Tom nodded as Severus seemed to phase away, running back up to their rooms. Draco frowned a little when a small plate of fruits and vegetables with buttered toast appeared next to him. Draco scowled at the reminder of what those terrible muggles did to his submissive. His thoughts were torn away from their current track when Severus walked in with a sleepy white-haired Harry curled up in his arms, lion tail gently flicking. Severus smirked and gently kissed his karus on the head as he pet his head, eliciting a small purr from the little one. Draco was up in a flash, leaning over the unsuspecting submissive. "What a cute little kitty." Tom chuckled and Severus smirked when Draco took Harry and sat back down in his chair. Harry didn't seem to mind at all by the pleased purrs he couldn't stop from rumbling in his throat. The dominant submissive cooed and cuddled Harry to his chest while offering him little pieces of fruit, gently petting his white doe ears. Tom and Severus both sat back and watched with warm smiles as their two missing pieces finally fit perfectly together.
