I had just gotten the tea ready and was brining it out when Draco walked through the fireplace. I do an inward groan while Hermione and Ron are froze. Then Ron suddenly pulls his wand out, facing Draco. He was the only one to do so, Hermione and I just glanced at each other then I looked at Ron's reaction. Obviously I didn't like what I saw, so I quickly put the tray down and stood between Ron and Draco. Ron looked disgusted, but didn't say anything.
Hermione looks please and stood by Ron while helping lower his wand. So Ron instead spat, "What are you doing here Malfoy?"
Draco looks at me and asks, "You haven't gotten my message yet?"
Just then my phone vibrates to let me know that I have a message or two. That got a chuckle from Hermione. Draco gives a small nod and a small smile at Hermione. While Ron glares daggers, I notice and say, "Ron calm down, if not then just leave. I'm not dealing with you having a fit about Draco.
Ron quietly went to the kitchen. Because he went to the kitchen, I put up a silencing charm on the living room. Then I say to Hermione, "When Ron is calm enough then I'll tell him or you can if you want Hermione."
She nods and looks at Draco then looks back at me with a question in her eyes. I look at Draco, Draco gives a smile. That gives Harry the courage, so he turns to Hermione and says, "Hermione, this might shock you but I'm gay. Yes Ginny knows. I really hope you will support my choice."
Hermione goes to Harry and Draco, giving them a hug one at a time. That shocks Draco a bit so he slowly hugs her back. When Hermione steps back with a twinkle in her eyes, she asks, "Let me guess Draco is your boyfriend right?"
To answer that Draco put his arm around Harry's waist. Harry blushes and prepares for some angry words or spells. Instead Hermione widely smiled and says, "I'll support your choice Harry. Draco, just to let you know that if you ever hurt Harry, I'll be your worst nightmare. You understand that? Oh and when you're ready to tell me your other secret you can."
That shocked Harry and Draco; they looked at each other then looked back at Hermione. After a few minutes Draco stuttered, "H-How did you figure that out M-Hermione?"
Both, Hermione and Harry, frowned at this, but they knew he was trying, so they let it slide. Hermione just laughed and said, "Draco, I'm an Auror and really skilled at seeing things that seem fake. Sure you guys look normal, but to me there's a fuzzy edge around you guys. Ron might not notice, but we know how unobservant he is."
At that Draco and Harry, both just laughed, and Hermione just smiled. Harry thought to Draco, Want to show her our real appearances? If she likes this then she will accept both of us. Ron, I'm not sure about though, yet. We can have Hermione break it to him later as well. Or I would if the time is right.
Draco replies back, Sure. I do know that once Hermione says something that she'll do, she won't take is back at any cost. We'll break this one to W-Ron later though. The first part I don't mind if Hermione does.
Harry smiled at that and he slowly took off his jacket. His light blue button up shirt has two perfect holes in the back. Draco did the same with his professor robes; his light gold with streaks of silver shirt has the same holes on the back, like Harry's. Hermione now has a curious look on her face. Draco got Harry's hand in his, squeezed it, and brought out his wings.
Draco's wings are emerald green and silver with a touch of grey. Hermione gasps; she hasn't seen anything like it. With a small smile, Harry brought out his wings and dropped his glamour. Harry's wings are silver and shamrock green with a touch of dark red. As soon as Harry dropped the glamour, two black cat ears and a black tail showed up.
-Thud-
Harry, Hermione, and Draco thought that is was Ron so they did nothing. Then Ron walks in, they didn't notice him until he said, "Wow! That's really amazing!"
Shocked all three turned around. Draco thought to Harry, If Ron just walked in then who was that thud for?
Harry replies, I don't k-Wait a moment!
Harry rushes over to where his phone is, there are two messages. One is from Draco and the other is from Dudley. Face palming Harry says, "Don't worry about that thud for now, that was just Dudley, my cousin."
The message from Draco said:
I finally told them…^^;
Well my mom caught on and
Said that she will break it to
Dad, but I'm not so sure on how
He will act. L Mom supports
Us though. ^_^ I'm on
My way over. Love you ^_^
The message from Dudley said:
Hey Cuz! Guess What!
I got a day off of
Work so I'm planning
On visiting you. Well…
See you soon! J
"Your cousin?! I thought you aren't talking to them because of what they did in your childhood." Exclaimed both Ron and Hermione. Draco raised an eyebrow and asked, "What did they do? That is the only question that you've avoided answering."
Harry glared at them and sighed. Then he wandlessly got another cup. Harry then sat down on a couch, gestured the others to sit while he poured the tea. Hermione and Ron sat on the couch across from Harry; Draco sat by Harry of course. They accepted the tea and waited for him to tell them. After a few minutes in complete silence, Harry spoke, "I already told you, Herm and Ron. I never had the courage to tell you, Draco because I was afraid of your reaction. Anyway my Aunt Petunia hated my mom for what she was. Even Uncle Vernon agreed her point of view. So while I was growing up, my aunt and uncles forced me to cook them breakfast, lunch, and dinner."
At this Draco clenched his fingers in a fist in anger. Harry took a sip of tea before continuing, "Getting off topic is that Uncle Vernon got really bad that changed Aunt Petunia's mind on the treatment, but she couldn't do anything. Anyways after I started showing signs of magic, Uncle Vernon started beating me. It isn't like a light spanking, like you guys would get if you did something wrong. During this they decided to feed me stale bread a couple of days then starve me for three weeks. Dudley got his friends gathered and started playing "Harry Hunt" to get approved by his dad. I'll tell you more later, Draco. Actually that is where I'm stopping on that for now. Anyway Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia, both, got killed in the war by a couple of death eaters. Dudley was at a friend's house at the time so he was safe. Now that he is not under his father, Dudley is a pretty nice to me."
"That is so true cuz, but tell me why you are dressed up for Halloween." Says Dudley in the doorway. That surprised all four in the living room. Harry smiled wickedly and says, "Why do you want to know cousin? Hey Dray, can you go into the kitchen and get some snacks for us? While I go to my bedroom to change. Ron and 'Mione, why don't you make Dudley comfortable. He has changed and if you want he can help your dad, Ron. He obviously knows more about muggle technology or anything else than any of us do."
At that Draco walked into the kitchen, Dudley sat next to Harry before he got up. As soon as Harry got into the bedroom, Draco said to him, Did you want me to put away my wings?
Harry replies, Yes Dray. Dudley knows that I'm a wizard. He doesn't know about this just yet. I wasn't going to tell him about it until I talked to Ron and 'Mione first. I want to tell Dudley not to say anything about our childhood. I don't want him to say something he'll regret.
Soon Hermione and Ron saw that Dudley got pale and he then nodded after a few minutes. Hermione and Ron were nervous, but they also were angry. They didn't understand why Harry gave him a second chance. When Dudley got pale both, Ron and Hermione, looked at him. After Dudley nodded he let out a long sigh. Even though they were curious, Ron and Hermione asked nothing. A minute later Draco walks out from the kitchen with two bowls in his hands.
One is a green color filled with chips, while the other is a silver-grey color filled with salsa. A few minutes later had Dudley, Draco, Hermione, and Ron talking to each other… Well it consists of asking Dudley questions about the muggle world from Ron and Draco. While Hermione helped answer when Dudley didn't know how to explain it. Suddenly there was a tapping against the window. That got Harry out and he saw two owls waiting outside the window.
