Work Text:
Hermione Granger found a quaint coffee shop in the Lake District that she had been hoping to try out, called Endless Java. She texted Adrian Pucey and Dr. Stephen Strange to meet her there.
Once inside, she noticed the coffee shop was quiet and ordered three of the house specialties before finding a room for the three of them. Not knowing that once she goes inside with the other two, they would be locked in until they confessed their feelings.
“Well, this is the place she wants us to meet at,” Adrian told Stephen as they gazed at the ominous building.
“Do you get the sense that something is off? We should've brought Wong,” Stephen grumbled, not liking the aura of the coffee shop and sensing the place was a trap.
. Stephen wary looked around the place looking for anything out of place that would give him a bad vibe.
“Come on, I'm sure Hermione is waiting patiently for us inside.” Adrian opened the door as the two of them stepped inside, feeling a spell wash over them.
“I am sure the possibilities are endless and did you feel that?” Stephen spoke quietly to Adrian as the employees tidied up the place or fixed drinks.
“Yes, let's find Hermione quickly and head back home,” Adrian replied softly as they heard Hermione speak their names.
“Stephen! Adrian! I am over here!” She waved at them excitedly, motioning for the two to enter.
Hermione hoped that the new coffee place would be a hit with her two soulmates. But from the looks on their faces she could see tension written all over there foreheads when she pulled them inside the coffee shop room.
“Hermione, we need to tell you…” Stephen’s voice trailed off when the door slammed shut and locked from the outside.
“Merlin, no!” Adrian exclaimed as he jiggled the doorknob to open.
“I’m so sorry, guys! The shop said the possibilities are endless, and I didn’t realize it was a trap!” Hermione wanted to cry feeling tension rising from her two mates. But Stephen went to comfort her and kissed her tenderly. At the same time, Adrian vainly tried to unlock the stubborn door.
They felt strange magic washing over them, and writing appeared on the door:
One who enters here must declare their love.
Hermione stared at the message, and it dawned on her. She quickly took matters into her own hands, kissing Stephen deeply and pressing her body close to his as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Adrian was beginning to feel left out, but was ecstatic when Hermione turned to deeply kiss him the same way.
They heard a click and another message revealed: This union should be consummated within 24 hrs or all is lost.
“Damn, whoever did this didn’t waste any time.” Stephen scowled at the encrypted message above the door.
“Come on, I'd rather be at home than be stuck in the room.” Hermione hurriedly pulled the men out and apparated them back to the Sanctum Sanatorium.
