Written by StrawberryGirl87

Sequel to Memory. Something is coming, something dark and as the chosen one, Harry must stop it from becoming the next Dark Lord but something is happening to him that he can't explain and Draco just might hold all the answers. DRARRY, MPREG!

Chapter One – Privacy

August 31st, the night that Harry went to Draco and confessed his love was the last night that the two of them had any privacy in regards to their relationship. On September 1st Draco went to bid his son farewell as he boarded the train to Hogwarts. All three of Harry's children were already at the school after the horrific events of the summer, spending time with their mother who would be travelling back on the Hogwarts express alone this evening.

Draco asked if Harry would accompany him and of course he agreed. Also coming with them was Lucius who was desperate to see his Grandson. They were going to look a sight when they arrived at Kings Cross station. The Malfoy family accompanied by the Chosen one.

Their first night together had found them consumed with each other in Draco's bedroom, never coming up for air as they worshiped each other endlessly. They made the most of their solitude, locked away and protected by locking and silencing charms because they knew that this peace could never last.

There were very few people that knew about the relationship that had formed between Harry and Draco. When they had returned from Malfoy Manor there had been very little contact between the two and Draco had left before Harry had had the chance to speak to him. Hermione had never been one to gossip and spread rumour and anyone else that knew were not inclined to talk about it because they respected the golden Gryffindor too much.

Ron had no idea that when he arrived on platform 9 ¾'s with his wife and children that he would come face to face with his best friend and Draco Malfoy holding hands, Lucius hovering around awkwardly behind them as they awaited the arrival of Astoria and Scorpius. Even though he had known that Draco had taken Harry in when he had been suffering from severe memory loss he had no idea how far their relationship had gone. Needless to say he was shocked.

He watched as the odd group were approached by a stunning young woman, clearly Draco's wife with their thirteen year old son just ahead looking excited to see the rest of his family gathered to bid him farewell as he embarked on his third year at Hogwarts.

"Daddy, Grandpa" Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy called out, abandoning his baggage laden trolley to his mother, running forward and embracing his father in a hug. "I've missed you."

Draco smiled down at his only son, "I missed you too, did you have a good time in France with your mother?" He asked and Scorpius nodded eagerly.

"Mama taught me to speak French," He said proudly.

"That's fantastic, why don't you go and say hello to grandpa while I speak to your mother okay son," Draco said and his son nodded eagerly, flinging himself into the arms of the oldest Malfoy. Harry had never seen Lucius be so tender with another human being as he was with his grandson, it warmed his heart to see it.

Draco took his wife to one side, away from the group so that he could talk to her in private. Astoria was a beautiful pure blooded witch, two years younger than Draco. She too had been a Slytherin at Hogwarts. To look at her was to think that you were looking at an angel.

"I have something to tell you my dear," Draco began but he saw her eyes wander over to her son who was introducing himself to Harry Potter in stunned awe.

"Do you love him?" She asked, not needing for her husband to say anymore.

"I believe that I do, more than I have loved another in that way," He admitted.

"Then it is good timing, I have met someone also and he has expressed interest in marriage. I know it was never in our agreement to be divorced but our families have the heir they desire, perhaps it is time," She said eloquently and Draco smiled.

"He had better treat you right Astoria or he will have me to deal with," Draco said with deadly seriousness. She smiled at him and nodded, giving him a kiss to the corner of his lips.

Harry had been watching Draco as he spoke to his wife and a spike of jealousy pierced him as she kissed him sweetly. He had never known before what it felt like to be jealous having never loved anyone as intently as he loved Draco. But he wouldn't cause a scene here, not in front of the children. His stomach churned dangerously and threatened to expel his breakfast but with a few deep, steadying breaths he managed to quash the feeling and just keep smiling.

Scorpius ran up to his parents beaming happily, "Mama, Dad, I just met Harry Potter."

"Hermione, what is Harry doing here with Malfoy?" He asked his wife softly so that Rose and Hugo would not overhear. Rose was telling her younger brother all about Hogwarts, exciting him over what to expect from his classes and the sorting ceremony as this would be his first year there.

"They're together," Hermione said carefully, "From what I can gather Harry and Ginny spoke last night and that's when it happened. They got close while Harry was staying with him this summer."

"And Ginny's okay with this, she's loved him since she was eleven. Why would she let him be with Malfoy?" Ron asked not understanding how it had happened. When he looked at his best friend now he wasn't sure who he was seeing. Ron had always seen him with his baby sister, to think of him with anyone else didn't seem to fit right, especially when that someone else was Draco Malfoy.

"It's because she loves him. Harry was never happy with her, couldn't you see it?" Hermione asked glancing over to where she could see Draco talking to his wife. Harry stood behind looking a little paler than usual which sparked her concern but now was not the time to start questioning him about his health. "Just don't start, not here, let's get the children off to Hogwarts and then we can talk about it."

Reluctantly Ron agreed to this. He wanted to get all the facts straight before he confronted his best friend with this and for that he needed to talk to his sister. He wanted to be sure that she was really happy about this and wasn't making the wrong decision.
