The Deal

I'm glad that you are all enjoying this story. I'm enjoying writing mischievous Harry. I was reading the seventh book when I had this idea, I remembered that Pettigrew owed Harry after he saved his life. Believe me I'm going to have fun writing this chapter, Harry's going to tell Lucius and Narcissa.

Chapter Two

Harry was elated that Draco had been agreeable to his deal. It had gone exactly how he had hoped it would go and he had the added bonus of telling the senior Malfoy's that he was planning not only to snog but also to shag their only son and heir.

Harry was greatly looking forward to announcing this to them. He hadn't had much chance for fun recently and this was certainly going to be one of the highlights of the month.

"Shall we go and tell them then?" Harry asked smiling happily.

"You are far too pleased about this." Draco said rather grumpily.

"Oh relax, your dating me now, you are not allowed to worry anymore." Draco looked sceptical about this but secretly he wasn't dreading this coming month as much as he thought he would. Harry took his hand and pulled Draco towards him.

"What are you doing?" Draco asked, suddenly nervous.

"I'm kissing my boyfriend!" Harry stated.

"Can we wait, just until we tell my parents please, let's just ease into this."

"Okay. Come on then, we're going to go and talk to your parents."

Draco looked terrified at this prospect but Harry stood firm on this fact. After all Draco had insisted that Harry be the one to confront Lucius and Narcissa on this matter.

"Do we have to do it now?"

"Yep" Harry said confidently, "Now point the way, where are your parents?" Reluctantly Draco pointed down to the dungeons, Harry grinned ecstatically, "Come on then, you lead the way." Harry said taking hold of Draco's hand and linking their fingers.

Draco didn't rush to take Harry to the Slytherin Rooms where some of the survivors had been allocated. There weren't any established houses as such currently, wherever there was room was where you were sleeping.

The castle needed extensive repairs done and it was while these were being carried out the only people permitted inside of Hogwarts grounds were the ones who had fought and survived the battle. The press were hungry for a story so no one was eager to leave just yet for fear of being swamped, the likes of Rita Skeeter had been barred from entering the grounds in all forms.

Upon reaching the entrance to the Slytherin common room Draco hesitated. He wasn't overly sure that this was a good idea. He hadn't wanted to be the one to tell his parents about Harry which is why he had demanded that Harry be the one to tell him however now he was having second thoughts about it.

Not about Harry though, he wasn't have second thoughts about the deal, not at all. He just wasn't sure about telling his parents, though he was sure they would find out eventually.

"Come on, what are you waiting for?" Harry asked. "It isn't like I haven't been in here before, I just don't know the updated password." Draco looked at Harry in confusion and slight irritation.

"You've been in the Slytherin common room before?" Draco asked.

"Yep in our second year, talking to you actually."

"I have no recollection of that."

"You wouldn't, Ron and I looked like Crabbe and Goyle."

"I'm not going to ask." Draco said, choosing not to get annoyed Draco brushed this new information aside. It had happened so long ago, there was no point in holding a grudge now. He then turned to the portrait and stated the password.

They entered the portrait hole and stepped into the very green and every dingy common rooms. There were still skulls everywhere and the lights were also tinted green. Overall it was a depressing room but Draco was used to it and Harry didn't care.

Lucius and Narcissa were sat on one of the dark green leather sofas. They were whispering in hushed tones, neither Draco nor Harry could make out what they were saying. Draco cleared his throat and both of the older Malfoy's turned to face them. Neither said anything when they saw Harry standing there with their son.

"Mum, Father, Harry has something he would like to explain to you regarding the two of us." He sounded a lot more formal when he addressed his parents, it shocked Harry how formal he was toward them.

"What is it my little Dragon?" Narcissa asked, standing up, Lucius did the same, he was looking a lot more concerned than his wife.

"I saved Draco's life twice during the battle, because you saved me in the forest, which I am extremely grateful for we have erased one time, however Draco still owes me his life once. I have made him a deal."

"What kind of deal?" Lucius asked, his eyes going to slits as he glared at Harry, he was highly suspicious of what Harry was up to.

"I want to spend a month of time with Draco, I want to date him for that time and then after the month he's free to end the relationship and move on but for a month we will be together." Harry said, he didn't want a fight, he had had enough of fighting. That was why he was treading very carefully however he was having so much fun watching Lucius have small aneurisms as he spoke.

"Dragon, are you happy with this arrangement?" Narcissa asked.

Draco nodded, "I am perfectly happy mum, I would rather date Harry for a month and have the debt erased than live with it hanging over my head for the rest of my life." Draco said, he then turned to his dad, "Father, I know that you cannot be pleased about the arrangement but can you see that it is better this way?"

"I cannot speak for your mother but until this month is up I cannot accept you as my son. No son of mine is going to be gay!"

Harry wasn't surprised by the behaviour of Lucius, though Harry was feeling that he was missing something, it was almost like they had had the conversation about Draco's sexuality before. Draco turned to look at his mother, pleading for her to give a different response.

"I will stand by you, my Draco, if this is the path you wish to choose and you are content then that is all I want for my son." Narcissa said and Lucius did not look happy but he said nothing.

Lucius glared at Harry with pure rage and vengeance, apparently even with the war over and done with past grudges and resentment wasn't going to be forgotten.

"I'm sorry you feel that way Father but I don't want to owe Harry Potter my life and I'm sure if you think about it you don't want that for me either but I don't think that this is about that. I'm not going to be like you. I'm sorry if you can't accept that." Draco said, his mother was smiling and Lucius was scowling.

Harry could see the warning signs, he was prepared when Lucius went for his wand and shouted "Crucio" pointing the curse at Draco. Harry pushed him out of the way and took the curse. Of course it had no effect on him, just like in the forest.

"I don't think that that's very nice." Harry said, Lucius and Narcissa looked absolutely dumbfounded at the fact that the torture curse had hit Harry and yet it had had no effect. "We're going to forget that that happened." Harry said to Lucius very sternly.

"Why didn't it hurt you?" Lucius demanded, he was enraged.

"The killing curse and the Cruciatus curse don't work on me anymore and the Imperius curse has never worked on me so I would advise you not to try that again." Harry warned. "Come on Draco, let's go, we've done all we can here."

Draco looked hurt, he hadn't expected his father to react in such a way. The truth was that Draco had known that he was gay for a long time now but Lucius hadn't accepted that. Lucius had refused to believe that he had a homosexual son.

"Dragon, wait for a minute." Narcissa said as we went to leave. "I'm coming with you my Dragon." She said. Lucius went from enraged, to shocked to absolutely furious.

And that was that. For half an hour Lucius and Narcissa argued while Harry and Draco looked on, the argument ended in Narcissa asking for a divorce from Lucius. Lucius agreed to the divorce and said that he was disowning Draco and that neither of them would get any money from him.
