Disclaimer: I do not own any part of this story, except the plot. If I was J.K., I would make Harry and Draco get together and Sirius wouldn't die. But I am not a great British author, just a Texan High School student who sticks out for her liberal beliefs.
Basically, most background info is in their already, but 1 thing is that Sirius did not die, and Draco's parents died, and he went on the light side. This is set on September 1st, 1997, 7th year. Harry defeated Voldemort in May of 6th year. This is a Slash, meaning boy on boy relationship, so if you are a conservative ass- person and find it wrong, please do not read.
Talking Through the Past
Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy (now Black because Sirius adopted him after his parents died) were walking to the Headmaster's office hand in hand. Their relationship wasn't secret; they had been going out since sixth year when Draco found the Golden Boy about to jump out of the Astronomy tower. Harry confessed about how his Uncle abused him, both physically and sexually. Also how his best friends were avoiding him; Ron was jealous, thinking Harry had the wonderful life, and Hermione had followed her boyfriend in berating him.
The boys had bonded (not like in marriage but they grew close; muggle definition of "bonding") and they started going out, but sustaining from doing anything past kissing, until Harry's birthday when he had felt for sure, consciously and unconsciously, that Draco would not hurt him.
Their first night, Draco was so gentle; whispering words of comfort and love to Harry, taking everything slow and steady. Harry was so happy to have Draco as his boyfriend and lover.
They arrived at the gargoyle that concealed the Head's office and told the password (Tootsie Rolls) and went up the winding staircase. Draco knocked and the door opened for them. They walked in and saw Sirius and Remus standing by Dumbledore's desk where the said man sat. They had bright smiles on their faces and beamed at the boys.
"Ah, Mr. Black, Mr. Potter, so nice you joined us, please sit down, M&M?" Albus asked, offering a bowl of multi color M&M's.
Harry grabbed a few and popped them into his mouth as he sat in the chair next to Draco who had declined the candy.
"What happened to Lemon Drops?" Harry asked dumping the rest of the candy that was in his palm into his mouth.
Remus and Sirius laughed, while the Headmaster's eyes twinkled.
"I asked the same thing when he offered, Harry," Remus said after he recovered from his mirth.
"I wanted a change," Albus said, "But onto business. Harry how are you doing? With everything I mean."
Harry frowned then looked at Draco and smiled.
"Everything is fine; you don't have to worry about me jumping anymore or cutting. I haven't touched a blade since Draco caught me at Easter," Harry said, steadily. "If it wasn't for Draco talking with me… I don't know…" Harry looked at the floor and felt and arm around his shoulder. He looked up and saw Draco's concerned face.
"It's okay, love," the blonde said. "Remember I'm always here."
"So are we," Sirius said. "And if you need to talk we are here, too."
Harry nodded then looked at Dumbledore.
"Harry, Draco, during your guardian's 7th year, we had two married wizards as Professors," the Headmaster said. "These wizards were different from the rest of the faculty; they didn't teach normal lessons like the rest I hired. They were counselors who helped students who were depressed, had trouble with their sexuality, or just needed someone to talk to. Their names were Harry and Draco James."
Harry and Draco were shocked. They looked at each other, then at Dumbledore.
"What?" they shouted at all three adults.
Sirius and Remus went forward to the two boys.
"The professors helped a lot of people," Remus said. "Even me and Sirius."
"I saw you two this year and suddenly remembered the two men. They came in with a letter that I have right now, that convinced me to accept them," Dumbledore said showing them a piece of paper. "One resembled James Potter and the other Lucius Malfoy. They were you two."
Both looked as if the Headmaster were mad.
"But Professor, how?" Draco asked.
"There is a spell that allows time-travel," Dumbledore said. "It will allow you two to do into the past, to 1979. Since I know it already happened, I am encouraging you to accept. Many lives depended on your counseling."
Harry looked at Draco, who was looking at his shoes, contemplating something.
"Let's say you are right and that was us; how could I help people with problems, when I can't get over my own," Harry said, looking at the ground. Harry felt someone take his chin and make him look at the person.
"But that is why you are a good man for the job," Sirius said, looking Harry straight in the eye. "You know why people cut, are depressed, and attempt suicide; you know what it is like to be in a homosexual relationship; you know what it is like to be bullied; you know what it is like for someone close to you to die; you know what it is like to have a bad home life. You can relate to these kids in ways other Professors can't. Draco helped you, so he can also help others. You won't be alone in helping the students; he'll be there to help as well."
Draco kneeled next to Sirius and gave Harry a peck on the cheek.
"Don't worry Harry, we can do this," Draco said reassuringly. Sirius got back up and stood next to Remus and Draco went back to his chair, though he scooted it closer to Harry and put his hand on his lover's knee.
Harry looked at Sirius, then Remus, then remembered something.
"Did you say they were- I mean we were married," Harry asked.
"Yes, they helped us with our relationship, if you can believe," Remus said. He chuckled a bit. "We were so insecure because, back in the 70's, it wasn't normal to be in love with another man. You helped us be confident with ourselves and many other couples."
Harry looked at his hands and thought a moment. He looked back up to Dumbledore, and smiled.
"We are going to leave tomorrow, right?" Harry asked Dumbledore who nodded. He looked to Draco and grinned. "Draco will you marry me?"
Draco choked on his breath. He looked to Harry whose eyes shone with undeniable love and protectiveness. He pulled Harry into a chaste kiss and nodded.
"Yes, of course!" Draco said, and looked at his guardians who were messing with their own wedding bands.
Harry stood up and pulled Draco up with him. He then looked to Dumbledore, clasping Draco's hands in his.
"Headmaster, would you do the honor of marrying Draco and I right now?" he asked, and looked back to Sirius and Remus. "Would you two do the honor of being our best men?"
The werewolf and the animagus beamed at the boys and walked over to them, giving both the bridegrooms a hug.
Dumbledore stood up and went in front of the two boys, his wand raised over both of their heads. The best men took a hint and went to their positions; Remus next to Draco, and Sirius next to Harry.
"These two wizards, of heart, mind and soul, have found love in each other, and want to complete their hearts in Holy Matrimony," Dumbledore said, while white and silver mist came out of his wand, circling the betrothed. "Both love each other to no end, and would willingly give up their own lives so the other shall live. Both have helped each other in more ways than one, whether it be helping the other to the road to recovery or just loving the other.
"Harry James Potter, do you take Draco Lucius Black to be your husband, to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health and to never part even if death may come?"
Harry looked at Draco, emerald eyes gazing into mercury ones; both full of love for the other.
"I do," Harry said, smiling at his beloved.
"Draco Lucius Black, do you take Harry James Potter to be your husband, to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health and to never part even if death may come?"
Draco looked at Harry with unconditional love generating from his silver eyes.
"I do," Draco said, not tearing his gaze away from his lover- no, his husband.
As Draco said this, the mist began to swirl around them. Remus and Sirius grabbed the boy's hands and made it wear the boys hands were intertwined above their heads. A silver glow grew around their ring fingers, then platinum rings adorned them; etched into them were the words 'Τα λιοντΏ?ια και τα φίδια συνδυΎ?ουν στην αγΏ?η και την ασφΎ?εια.'(1)
The mist died down, but Harry Draco still held their hands up as Dumbledore spoke more.
"Let it never be said that these two lovers' passion was a mistake, or forced. Both have said to one another that they shall always cherish the other, and will never mistrust the other, or take the other for granted.
"On this day, of September 1st, 1997, this couple shall be known as Harry James Potter, and Draco Lucius Potter. Husband and husband."
The newly weds looked at each other and met half-way for a kiss. It was chase, but held passion. They beamed at the other occupants.
"Can you give us the details on our 'assignment'?" Draco asked while he put and arm around his husband.
"You will arrive at Hogwarts gates on August 20, 1977. You go to my office and say the password, 'Cotton Candy,'" Dumbledore said. "You say you would like to apply for a position as a Counselor, and give me the letter. I read it, and ask you some questions then I hire you.
"The way we worked it out was, was that you would hold classes every Tuesday and Thursday that covered how you can tell a friend needs help, how to help them and such. But besides these classes, you had your door open for anyone who needed to talk; appointments with students who needed more than one session."
Both boys nodded, then grabbed each other's hands and walked to the door.
"If there is anything else, please talk to us in the morning; I don't want to be disturbed on my wedding night," Draco said then pulled a very crimson Harry out of the office.
They ran down the stairs and Harry gave Draco a swift kiss, then pulled him up some stairs.
"I know of a room that we can go to, love," Harry said, walking onto the 7th floor. He walked past a wall 3 times then a door appeared. Harry opened it and led Draco into a beautifully decorated room.
The room looked like a honey-moon suit. There were candles everywhere and a roaring fire. The room had hues of red and burgundy, giving it a sensual look. In the middle of the romantic suit, was a king-size, four poster bed, lined with silk sheets.
Harry kissed Draco passionately, and led him over to the bed.
Needless to say, their first night bound in holy matrimony, were filled with unholy activities.
