A/N: So For You I Will #1 hit 100,000 reads the other day. It's absolutely mind blowing. Thanks to everyone who has read, voted, commented and hopefully enjoyed. It's really humbling and again, mind blowing. Thank you. Onto the chapter.

Y/N sat down at the kitchen table in Dean and Penny's apartment, magically flicking the light switch on. He reached out and patted Penny's owl, Archimedes, as he heard his brother in his head.

You did great with your training Y/N.

Y/N sighed, sending back:

It had better be enough.

He heard:

Just make sure you practice your animagus transformations in the Room of Requirement and keep it to yourself, it's an Azkaban sentence for being unregistered. Hermione can know but no one else.

Yeah I know, op sec. You coming to the wedding?

I'll be there running security. You won't see me.

Y/N nodded as Jacob's communication withdrew from his mind. He continued to pat Archimedes as he looked over at the calendar- 2nd August 1992. One week until the wedding. It was the only reason he came back so early, a month of holidays still to go. He looked across at the owl who was enjoying his strokes and spoke out loud:

"Can't wait for Penny any longer. You happy to deliver a letter for me mate?"

The owl hooted happily and Y/N smiled. He summoned a piece of parchment and quill from his pouch and started to write.

Dear Hermione,

How are you? How has your summer been? I just got back to Dean and Penny's. Know that I haven't forgotten Bane's warning. I have pushed myself harder than ever. I will not fail you.

I've missed you so much. Can I see you tomorrow?

My warmest thoughts
Y/N

PS Please give your parents my best.

Hermione was sat in the lounge with her parents. They were watching The Two Ronnies, Wendell laughing loudly. Hermione was deep into Mind your Mind volume II, a book she had borrowed from Dean and Penny when Monica asked suddenly:

"Can I hear a window tapping?"

Hermione gasped in happiness, exclaiming "Y/N!" and rushing to the window. She opened it and a beautiful short eared owl flew in, landing on the coffee table and hooting proudly.

"Hello Archimedes. Is that for me?" Hermione asked happily as she took the rolled up parchment from his leg. She read with a huge smile as Monica got a leftover pattie from the fridge, giving it to the happy owl.

"Y/N asked if I can see him tomorrow. He's back from his training. Can I Mum, Dad? Please?"

The Grangers chuckled and Monica nodded.

"I'll have to drop you off tomorrow at 8:30 before we go to work. Can you write back and ask if that's ok?"

Hermione nodded happily, thanking her parents and rushing off to get a pen and paper.

-~-

Y/N sat at the kitchen table, rubbing his eyes. He looked at the wall clock, it was 7:30pm. He was sore, really sore, from his transformation. He was tired, it had been a really hard five weeks. He still had to meditate for an hour, hear from Hermione, hopefully see Dean and Penny, and then get some sleep. He rubbed his eyes again.

-~-

Penny and Dean had had an enjoyable early dinner with their friends. Rowan, Bill, Tonks, Tulip, Chiara, Badeea, Talbott, Barnaby, Liz, Jae and Andre- it had been a big reservation. As they exited their apartment building's elevator Penny walked excitedly towards their front door. Today was supposed to be the day.

"Cutie Pie?" She called out hopefully as she opened their front door.

"In the kitchen Pens" she heard a voice call out. It was deeper than she remembered but she had no doubt, it was him.

"CUTIE PIE!!!" she screamed in excitement, forgetting the soon to be husband she left at the door as she rushed towards her kitchen as he stood. She barrelled him into an impossibly tight Penny hug, Y/N chuckling as he held her back.

Penny stood about 5'6" and Y/N was grateful he was a good three inches taller than her now. When he was small he would nearly suffocate in her hugs, especially when she hadn't seen him for a while. Her hugs made Hagrid look like a first year. As the two stood in the loving embrace they heard Dean call out with a laugh:

"I'll get the door"

Penny leant back with a large smile, as she took Y/N in:

"Look at you Cutie Pie, look at you. I've missed you so much. You've gotten so big. What is that?"

Dean entered the kitchen as Penny turned Y/N's head quickly to look at his earring.

"What...why have you got that? Why did Jacob let you get that?" Penny asked concerned. Y/N chuckled.

"It's an earring Pens, obviously. And Jacob didn't let me get it or stop me from getting it. It was my choice. I entered into bondship with the Romany people. Undertook their Manêrg, their initiation into manhood. I did so willingly".

Penny scowled and made an unhappy mmhhmm noise. Dean chuckled until he noticed the tattoo on Y/N's forearm.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" Dean yelled as he grabbed Y/N's left arm. Y/N pulled it from his grasp, replying:

"Calm down Dean. It's a just a tattoo"

"Calm down? CALM DOWN! YOU'RE NOT EVEN 13 YET!" Dean roared as he continued to get angrier.

"Look just chill Dean, it's a magical protection sigil- watch."

Y/N flicked his right wrist, unsheathing his wand and holding it's tip on the sigil. It emitted a pale blue light briefly before Jacob appeared with a pop.

"It's not a fuckin toy Y/N!" Jacob bellowed before noticing the look on Dean's face.

"Hey Jacob, I was just making sure it worked. I think Dean wants a talk with you" Y/N chuckled. Dean snapped to Jacob "come with me!" and the two stormed off towards Dean's office.

Y/N chuckled again at his two brothers as he sat again, exhausted. Penny sat next to him, wrapping her arms around his and resting her head on his shoulder.

"I sent a note to 'Mione with Archimedes. Hope that was ok" Y/N smiled.

"Of course. How's your girlfriend?" Penny asked.

"Uh. I don't know. Why?" Y/N asked puzzled.

"Oh, so you didn't message her first?" Penny asked, as she tried her hardest, and failed, to hide a happy smile.

"No. Shit I probably should've, shouldn't I? To be honest I didn't even think of Katie until you mentioned her" Y/N answered. He should've at least thought of Katie. He was pulled from his thoughts as Archimedes hooted, flying through the open kitchen window.

"Thanks buddy" Y/N smiled, pulling the rolled up paper from his leg.

Dear Y/N,

It is so great to hear from you. I've missed you so much. How was your training? I hope Jacob didn't hurt you too bad. Mum said I can come tomorrow but I have to get dropped off at 8:30. My parents have to work all day. Is that ok? I've missed you so much.

Love
Hermione
Xxxx

Y/N smiled, as did Penny who happily read over his shoulder.

"Would that be ok Penny?" Y/N asked with a wry smile as she read.

"Of course, we have to get your tuxedo tomorrow for the wedding, but of course Hermione can come. Ooh, I'll call Monica now!"

With that Penny was off, over the other side of the kitchen to the telephone, quickly getting hold of Monica Granger and having a quick natter, organising the nexts day's activities.

Y/N smiled, stroking the owl as Newt had woken and climbed onto Y/N's shoulder from his pocket resting place, getting a pat as well.

Penny finished and said goodbye to Monica just as Dean and Jacob appeared from the office, Dean still scowling as Jacob disappeared with a pop.

"All sorted?" Y/N asked as Dean gave him a grumpy look before the two were distracted by Penny's gleeful squeals.

"Monica is dropping Hermione off tomorrow morning. I can go shopping with her in Diagon while you two get your final fittings done"

"Awesome thanks Pens" Y/N smiled.

"Are you going write to Katie now?" She asked with a grin.

"Nah, I'm tired and I've got an hour of meditation yet. I'll do it tomorrow night."

"Meditation?" Dean asked puzzled.

"Yeah, I gave Lord Dhalsim my word I would meditate an hour each night" Y/N replied as if it was obvious.

"Wait- Dhalsim from Kedarnath?" Dean asked puzzled. Y/N nodded. "I spent a fortnight with him in India. He helped me a lot".

"You were in India?" Penny asked shocked. Y/N nodded.

"Wow. So you're sure you don't want to write to your girlfriend?" Penny added with a smirk.

"Oh you haven't written to her yet?" Dean asked. Before Y/N could reply Penny spoke excitedly:

"Nope, he wrote to Hermione as soon as he got home but is too tired to write to Katie"

Dean smirked as Penny gave him a knowing look. Y/N raised an eyebrow.

"Anyway. Thanks again for asking me to be a groomsman Dean."

Dean smiled proudly at his little brother.

"You don't have to thank me mate. Excited to get your tux tomorrow mate?"

"Yeah" Y/N chuckled. "I'm gonna go meditate in my room. I'll see you both in the morning. Looking forward to sleeping in a bed again"

"Your bed you mean?" Penny corrected. Dean though had a bad feeling.

"You meant a bed, didn't you" he enquired, attempting to hide his anger.

"Yeah. The last week with the Romany, Jacob and I slept around a campfire. Before that at Kedarnath it was straw on a stone floor"

"What? Why?" Penny gasped.

"Well I was with Lord Dhalsim to learn Yoga. Unnecessary comforts were unnecessary burdens. And with the Romany we weren't their people, we weren't allowed to sleep in a Sacred Vardo. Night"

Y/N smiled, kissing Penny on the cheek and hugging her before hugging Dean and walking to his room with Newt on his shoulder, leaving the shocked couple in his wake.

-~-

Hermione had woken up at the crack of dawn as normal. She had pulled half her dresses from wardrobe, taking an hour to finally decide on a sunflower yellow coloured one. She raced to the shower, getting in the bathroom just before an annoyed Wendell, calling out:

"Sorry Dad!" as she locked the door behind her.

-~-

Hermione and Monica were travelling up the elevator to Dean and Penny's apartment having greeted the concierge at the desk. Monica was called in for an early appointment/double booking and when she had called Penny and asked if 7:30 was ok Penny was more than happy.

The butterflies were building in Hermione's stomach. The summer had dragged for her. The five weeks anyway. She had spent a fortnight in France with her parents, she had visited Penny several times with her Mum, she had enjoyed it all but she had missed him. She'd thought of him everyday. She hoped Jacob hadn't hurt him too badly. She was worried when his note said how hard he had trained.

Hermione smoothed out her dress for the hundredth time. She wanted to look really nice for Y/N. She had asked her mum if she could wear make up but Monica had said no, extremely surprised. Her daughter had never shown the slightest interest in such feminine things before. Then the reason behind it had struck Monica. She looked over at her daughter and chuckled, rolling her eyes.

"You look wonderful Hermione. I'm sure Y/N will think you're beautiful".

"I... I don't know what you're talking about Mum" Hermione answered awkwardly. Monica smiled.

The elevator arrived at the Penthouse floor and the two walked over to Dean and Penny's door, knocking as Penny let them in, hugging them both.

"I have to run to work but I'll be back at 5:30. Be good" Monica said with a smirk causing Hermione to roll her eyes as she said goodbye.

Hermione and Penny sat on a couch in the lounge, Penny smiling as she said:

"You look beautiful Hermione"

Hermione looked down blushing, fighting back a large smile.

"Thank You Penny..... wh- where's Y/N?"

Penny's smile faltered somewhat.

"He's asleep still love. When he got back last night he... he looked like he had a hard month. Usually he's the first up so when I got up and saw he was still asleep I let him rest. Also... I wanted to talk to you quickly, just the two of us".

"Oh ok, what's up Penny?" Hermione asked slightly concerned.

"You and Y/N. What's the story, really?"

This caught Hermione off guard, she couldn't help but stutter: "Oh, um, well"

"Do you still care for him, maybe even love him? He told me what happened before he started dating Katie." Penny asked sympathetically.

"Oh, right" Hermione answered, looked down sadly. "Yes. I do"

"Excellent" Penny smiled and clapped her hands. Hermione looked at her confused, asking:

"Pardon?"

Penny smiled widely, unable to hide the excitement on her face:

"When he got back last night the very first thing he did was send you Archimedes. The very first thing. He didn't even think of Katie until I mentioned her. And he still hasn't owled her. Said he was too tired. So just... just be patient Hermione."

Penny smiled deeply and Hermione felt her heart jump in her chest. At that moment the two witches heard a door open and footsteps before Y/N came round the corner. Hermione's mouth dropped wide open.

-~-

Y/N was running though the corridors of Hogwarts... he heard the voice again:

"Die....die....die!"

He arrived horrified at Hermione's body, before he shot around to be met with two large yellow eyes.

He gasped as he shot up, desperately inhaling. Newt ran over from his terrarium next to Y/N's bed and cuddled into him as Y/N wiped his sweaty brow.

"Sorry Newt. Didn't mean to scare you mate".

He gently stroked the Bowtruckle who hugged him tighter. Y/N checked his watch, it was 7:45am. He had slept in but still had 45 minutes before Hermione arrived.

"Must have needed the sleep" Y/N sighed to himself. His throat was parched, he must have been screaming, as he released the silencing charm around his bed and walked towards his bedroom door with Newt on his shoulder.

He needed a drink of water badly, he was in his underwear but Penny had seen that before and didn't care. He exited his room and walked towards the kitchen before stopping in his tracks as he got to the lounge room.

Hermione looked at Y/N, stood there in only his boxers, and her mouth dropped open.

He had gotten taller, he looked like he had stacked on even more muscle, it was even more defined. He hadn't shaved in a while, black stubble lining his face, and his hair had grown, it was pulled back in a short ponytail. She felt her cheeks burn bright as a giant smile broke on his face:

"Hermione!"

His voice was far deeper than she remembered, but the thought disappeared from her mind as Y/N rushed across, wrapping her in a tight hug that was returned. Penny smiled at the pair as they finally separated from the embrace.

"I've missed you so much" Y/N said as he smiled warmly.

Hermione returned it, still blushing brightly as she replied:

"Me too... but Y/N, you're in your underwear".

Y/N's eyes widened in realisation, a hue crossing his cheeks as he muttered:

"I... I'd better go get shorts on for my workout. Sorry"

He turned and walked out the lounge quickly.

-~-

Hermione sat with Penny as Y/N went to their home gym and pushed himself to his new extremes before showering, dressing and heading back to the lounge. As soon as Hermione saw him, in shorts and a tight shirt, clean shaven and refreshed- she rushed over and hugged him tight. He returned it as Newt jumped over to Hermione's shoulder and got lost in her bushy hair.

"Someone missed you" Y/N smiled as the pair stood back, holding their hands together. Hermione smiled widely:

"I missed you too Newt"

She lifted one of her hands to gently pat Newt with one of her fingers as he cuddled into her neck.

"Sorry about before, didn't know you were here already. You look absolutely stunning Hermione"

"Th-thank you Y/N. And that's ok, I had to be dropped off early" Hermione smiled as a bright blush crossed her face again.

Y/N cooked his breakfast while Hermione sat in the kitchen, the two of them catching up about their summer breaks:

"So France was really beautiful. But enough about me, you looked uh... great... like you've been... working really hard?"

Y/N chuckled at Hermione's awkward reply as she struggled to find the right words. He sat next to her at the kitchen table, a plate full of eggs and a bowl of what looked like yoghurt.

"Thanks 'Mione. Been working hard. Really hard. I will protect you"

Y/N's voice hardened as Hermione smiled sadly and rubbed his arm.

"I know you will. So the earring and tattoo are new" she said giggling. "So is... is that yoghurt?"

Y/N smiled as he levitated over a punnet of blueberries, a pack of seeds and some nuts. They were magically mixed together.

"The earring was part of an initiation ceremony with the Romany. I am a man of their tribe now. The tattoo is a magical sigil from Jacob. If I need him I can tap it and he will be drawn to me. And this is Greek yoghurt, mixed with blueberries, chia seeds and almonds. Nev's cousin Noel recommended it each morning as well as the eggs with my new workout".

Hermione smiled before waving her hand.

"Wait wait wait. Nev's cousin? Romany? Just what did you do this summer?"

Y/N spent the next half an hour catching Hermione up before there was a loud knock at the front door. Dean answered it as the two walked into the lounge and Rowan, Bill and a man Hermione didn't recognise entered the apartment.

Y/N walked up smiling, embracing each man in a hug before he turned back to Hermione.

"'Mione, you already know Row".

Hermione smiled and shook his hand, greeting him warmly:

"Hello Professor"

Rowan smiled, answering: "I assure you, Rowan is fine outside Hogwarts, Hermione"

Y/N next introduced Bill.

"This is Bill Weasley, before you ask he's the eldest."

Bill smiled and Hermione giggled.

"Yeah there are a lot of us".

"Finally this is Rowan's partner Talbott Winger. He...uh... doesn't say much"

Talbott shot a smirking Y/N a look before smiling at Hermione and shaking her hand, simply saying: "Pleasure".

"Everyone ready?" Dean asked. Hermione looked at Y/N puzzled. He smiled:

"We're going to Diagon Alley to get the suits for the wedding".

-~-

Y/N and the others went to Madam Malkin's for their final fitting while Hermione and Penny left to go around Diagon. Y/N had made Penny promise to make Hermione get something from Flourish and Blotts and place it on his account.

The two witches had a great time looking through the shops before arriving at Hermione's favourite bookshop. After perusing the aisles and selecting a book on advanced charms, the two approached the service desk and a tall lady smiled at them.

"Hello Madam Villanelle" Penny smiled happily as to the lady.

"Hello Ms Haywood and Ms Granger" the tall lady smiled. Hermione was shocked:

"You remembered my name, Madam Villanelle?"

The tall lady chuckled.

"Ms Haywood is one of my regulars, as is young Master L/N. Both have spoken of you a great deal".

Hermione was shocked, Penny blushed at having been found out, Villanelle chuckled again.

"Speaking of Master L/N, could you please tell him his latest request is available. It took quite a few favours being called in to acquire."

"We're meeting with him soon, we can take it for you" Penny said happily. "Hermione's book is to be added to Y/N's account as well per his instructions."

Villanelle chuckled again.

"Very well. Please let him know I have deducted the 500 galleons for this tome as we discussed."

Penny's eyes widened. Hermione was puzzled. It must be very old or very rare for it to be that expensive. That was over £2000. Villanelle placed the book on the counter and Penny gasped as both she and Hermione read the title:

Wickedest and Most Malevolent Concoctions and Brews

"Why would Cutie Pie want that book?" Penny asked shocked.

"Y/N and Jacob have some interesting tastes. It's not my place to question my customers, especially one as frequent as Y/N. He did say though that he needed this book to help protect someone. Some one very important".

She finished speaking while looking at Hermione, who looked down with a smile and a blush.

Following meeting up with the guys Hermione enjoyed catching up with Y/N immensely. Penny had slipped Y/N the book discretely, Y/N nodded and placed it in his pouch.

-~-

It was midday the following day, and Y/N was reading through his latest acquisition. He found the two potions recipes he needed- Garrotting Gas and Potion to Create Extra Eyes.

He quickly noted the ingredients he needed- asphodel, billywig stings, shredded dittany, hormlump juice, lacewing flies, octopus powder and wormwood essence for Garrotting Gas- Penny had all of them in her store cupboard.

The Potion to Create Extra Eyes would be trickier. He needed a raven's feather, six cups of foggy tea, lacewing fly powder and two teaspoons of darkest darkness powder. That was the 'easy stuff'. He also needed two fresh eyeballs from a willing victim. That could be tricky.

He apparated to Knockturn Alley and unsurprisingly it was empty. The Ministry still hadn't had any luck finding the vicious killer from the previous month. Y/N chuckled.

He entered Shyverwretch's Venoms and Poisons, the biggest apothecary in Knockturn. There was only one man in the store, behind the counter. He looked sleazy even for Knockturn standards.

"Aren't you a little young, boy? Lose your way?" The man said with an unmistakably perverted sneer.

"You like Galleons or not?" Y/N snapped.

"Depends, what are you after?"

"I need a jar of foggy tea powder and two vials of darkest darkness powder"

The man smirked at Y/N with a leering grin.

"And why would a little boy like you want that?"

Y/N glared, his lip curling. The man chuckled briefly before screaming in pain grabbing his hand. Numerous three inch purple spines had erupted from the man's left hand, and as he screamed Y/N asked calmly:

"Do you have what I need or not"

"Yes yes yes" the man cried before Y/N released the hex he had non-verbally cast.

The man quickly got what Y/N needed, Y/N placing the four galleon cost on the counter.

"Now i need-"

"I know what you need" the man said with a tone of intimidation. "I know what potion you're making"

"How much?" Y/N asked coldly.

"Four hundred galleons wh-"

The man stopped speaking as hundreds of Galleons levitated out of Y/N's pouch. His eyes lit up at the floating gold.

"Well?" Y/N asked impatiently.

"I.. I don't have any. They're hard to-"

He stopped again as the coins quickly flew back into Y/N's pouch along with his purchases. Y/N turned to leave and the man raised his wand. It was quickly summoned from his hand and into Y/N's, almost pulling the man off balance over the counter top as Y/N spoke even colder.

"Next time... I'll take your hand as well!"

He continued walking towards the shop's entrance as the man called out panicked, desperate to get hold of that glistening gold.

"Wait! I've got more illegal stuff- unicorn blood, dragon liver or... I've even got Adrenochrome".

Y/N stopped near the door.

"Haha you like that huh. It's pure, took it out of some Mudblood muggle bitch myself. She was barely ten. Fear and innocence gives you the purest extract and she was plenty scared. For 200 Galleons it's yours!"

Y/N slid the lock on the door. He non-verbally closed the blinds on the windows and turned around. He'd found his willing victim. He'd be willing by the time Y/N was done with him.

-~-

Y/N had spent the afternoon brewing his two potions. He had them stored into bottles and the lab cleaned well before Dean and Penny arrived home.

Penny got home first and made an audible "mmm" as she stepped out the Floo fireplace.

"Something smells delicious" she said smiling as she stepped into the kitchen, hugging Y/N from behind.

"Dinner's almost ready- venison strap is resting, salad's done. Just finishing the sauce Pens" Y/N smiled as he was kissed on the cheek.

Dean walked in not long after, kissing his fiancée and patting his brother on the shoulder.

"You know you don't have to do that Y/N. We could magic ourselves something easily" Dean chuckled.

"We should be cooking for you" Penny added, feeling somewhat guilty.

"I love cooking guys, and you two let me live here so-"

"Y/N..." Penny said sternly. Y/N chuckled.

"I just mean I like to contribute Pens" Y/N said with a smirk as he placed their plates in front of them.

"Venison backstrap with a chilli sauce and apple, lettuce, radish and walnut salad" Y/N smiled, putting his own plate down.

"I know you don't like it too hot Pens so I only used jalapeños I got from the market today. Lord Dhalsim gave me some ghost peppers in India and they knock your socks off" Y/N chuckled as the three sat down to a wonderful family dinner.

-~-

Dean and Penny were sat at the kitchen table when Y/N walked in after his workout. He magically set his breakfast to cook and sat at the end of the table.

"You two ok?" He asked. They both looked shocked and appalled.

"He's struck again" Dean answered, handing Y/N the Daily Prophet.

Vigilante strikes again! Second gruesome murder in Knockturn in a month.

Wizards and Witches all over Britain will be waking this morning to news that the violent killer, dubbed by some as 'The Punisher' has struck again in Knockturn Alley.

Aurors were shocked to be called to Knockturn late yesterday afternoon to another sickening attack.

The victim this time was Knockturn proprietor Clinton Shyverwretch, owner of
Shyverwretch's Venoms and Poisons. He was killed in a most gruesome fashion, judging by the amount of blood and viscera that was spread around the store. Head Auror Rufus Scrimgeour made the following statement at the Ministry last night.

"Earlier this afternoon Aurors were called to Knockturn Alley for the second brutal killing in a month. Mr Clinton Shyverwretch, 57, was brutally murdered in his shop which was also completely looted of all it's Potion ingredients. We believe this to be the work of the same psychopath who committed last month's sickening attack on Leonard Burke.

Mr Shyverwretch's wand was missing, mirroring the attack on Mr Burke. However, in this instance Mr Shyverwretch's eyes were also removed. It appears this was done before he was murdered. The words 'Child Killer' were also written on a wall inside the premises. We assume it was in the victim's blood.

This vigilante will be brought to justice. It is up to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to apprehend perpetrators of crimes and bring them to justice, and this so called Punisher is just as guilty as his supposed victims. If he or she is reading this. We will find you and you will face the full fury of the law!"

As well as the wand and eyes of the victim being removed, it is believed The Punisher left another potential calling card, a skull left in the victim's blood.

Y/N looked at a picture on the page, it did appear skull like in its splatter pattern.

"Huh. I never noticed that" Y/N chuckled.

"Never noticed what?" Dean asked shocked.

"The skull in this blood splatter" Y/N replied calmly, handing his brother back the paper.

Dean looked at the photo, then at his brother, a horrible gnawing feeling of dread in the pit of his stomach.

"Y/N. What did you mean you didn't notice it?"

Y/N chuckled.

"Yesterday, I didn't notice the blood splatter resembled a skull."

Dean and Penny stared at Y/N. Their eyes opened as wide as their mouths, a pin drop could be heard in the room before the deafening silence was broken by Y/N's bellowing laughter.

"When I looked at the photo, Dean. I didn't notice anything but a splatter until they pointed it out."

He wiped a tear from his eye as he levitated his protein packed yoghurt and eggs over and began to eat.

"That's not funny Y/N" Dean reprimanded.

"What? Come on Dean did you think I went to Knockturn, slaughtered this piece of shit, then went shopping at the London markets and cooked us a nice family dinner?" Y/N asked with a smirk before adding:

"Besides, sounds like the piece of shit deserved it".

Penny sat silently, Dean looked at his brother firmly.

"I know you're a child, but you need to understand. Many that live deserve death, and some who die deserve life. Do not be too eager to deal out death and judgement, Y/N".

Y/N looked up from his plate to his brother, just as firmly.

"You seriously believe that puke you just spit out Dean? Rapists, peadophiles, murderers. They're all lowlifes, scumbags, maggot pieces of shit. The world's better off without them in it"

Y/N went back to his plate.

"Well, now you sound like Jacob" Dean snapped. Before Y/N could reply Penny said quickly:

"Better get going Dean. Goblins don't like lateness. Last day of work before your annual leave. I'll see you tonight"

Y/N smirked, finishing his last egg before moving onto his yoghurt.

-~-

Penny had been busy making phone calls and last minute confirmations all morning, and she went into their home office about lunchtime. Y/N was set up with books all across the large desk.

"Merlin, you look busy Y/N" Penny smiled.

"Working through a Magical Theory assignment. Rowan's been teaching me as an extracurricular subject" Y/N answered without looking up.

Penny smiled. When every other Hogwarts student was enjoying their summer break, when she would have been enjoying her summer break at his age, here he was, nose to the grindstone. Her Cutie Pie knew only one direction and one speed, Nimbus 2001-esque full speed ahead.

There had been a worry gnawing away at her though. One she had to check for herself.

"Cutie Pie, the book I gave you the other day, could I check it quickly. I'd like to see if there's any potions in there I haven't come across before and-"

She stopped her rambling as the book levitated into her hands from Y/N's pouch on the desk next to him. He hadn't even looked up. She shook her head with a smirk. Other first year/second year students would still be trying to master the levitation charm with small items. Y/N did it wandlessly and non verbally without giving it his full attention. Her Cutie Pie was something else.

She sat on the recliner in the room across from the desk and went to the index pages. Eyeballs, human, fresh, page 47. She quickly thumbed through and arrived at a Potion she hadn't heard of before. One that required fresh human eyes. She closed the book. It was a coincidence. That's all. A coincidence. There was nothing wrong with Cutie Pie. He was a good boy. Her Cutie Pie was a good boy. She got up and placed the book on the desk, Y/N spoke again without looking up:

"Find what you needed Pens?"

"Mhmm. I did, thank you Cutie Pie."

She turned to leave, but as she approached the doorway she stopped as Y/N spoke again.

"If you need to ask me a question Penny you can. You're one of two people on this planet I would never lie to."

Penny turned and smiled.

"I don't need to. You're a good boy Cutie Pie. Did you want me to cook that salmon you bought for your lunch?"

Y/N looked up slightly puzzled.

"You don't need to do that Penny".

She smiled at her little boy.

"I know. I want to"

-~-

The rest of the week passed without incident. Katie was in America with her family as a graduation present to Erin so Y/N just sent her a single owl. On Friday night Dean had his bucks night and Penny had her hens do.

Y/N and Dean had argued as Y/N wasn't able to attend because of the strippers Bill had organised. Y/N pointed out he was fine to fight Voldemort but not see some tits. Penny had covered her ears and said 'lalala' again, like the car. Dean had put his foot down.

Y/N took the opportunity to have dinner with Newt and Tina at their estate and had gotten home about 10:00pm. He meditated for an hour before packing what he needed for the next fortnight in his Moke pouch and then settling in for some reading. Newt happily went to sleep in his terrarium. Y/N was looking forward to spending the fortnight after the wedding at the Burrow.

At about 12 he heard Penny and her bridesmaids get back, they sounded drunk and he heard Tulip yelling about kissing her adorable little boyfriend.

Y/N magically locked his bedroom door. There was no way he was in the mood for drunken Tonks and Tulip.

He was woken by a nightmare just after 2:00am and got up for a drink of water. It was just in time to see a heavily intoxicated Dean come in the door. Y/N shook his head and locked the front door Dean had managed to leave wide open. The next morning he 'accidentally' forgot a silencing charm on the home gym for his workout at 6:00am. Dean and Penny were not impressed at AC/DC blaring at that hour. Y/N thought it was funny as hell.

It was a mostly quiet day, Penny leaving at lunchtime to spend the night at her parents and Dean and Y/N picking up their suits from Madam Malkin and having haircuts before having a quiet night with Bill, Rowan and Talbott at the apartment. Y/N couldn't believe tomorrow was the day Dean and Penny were finally getting married.
