For Dulzura Letal who requested a happy ending for Charlie, Harry/Draco.

#

'I don't know what you were so worried about', Travis said. 'Your family has been nothing but courteous to me.'

Charlie spent a week preparing him for meeting his family. Letting him know that his brothers were jokesters and to never take anything they said seriously.

'Well', said Travis. 'Except for that one "limp wrist" comment.' Which came from Charlie's little sister.

Charlie tried to hide his smile at that, but still got smacked across his arm. 'I'm sorry, sweetie.' He tried, but failed to hold back his laughter. 'But, the only bent blokes my family has ever been around are Harry and Draco.' He nodded toward the couple in the livingroom.

Almost everyone Travis associated with was gay, so he shocked the Weasley's even though he was mild compared the rest of his friends.

'I could tell.' Travis smiled at him, but then gasped out. 'But you never told me that Draco was a male model.'

He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. 'Because he isn't.'

Travis eyes went wide. 'Have you not looked at him?' He craned his neck to look passed his boyfriend and checked him out again. 'I've had to stop myself from drooling all night.' He sipped his wine.

Laughing again, Charlie agreed. 'He's nice to look at.'

'When I first meet them, I thought "What is he doing with Harry?" But…' he walked over and leaned next to Charlie by the sink. 'After getting a chance to spend a little time around Harry. I definitely see it.' He kissed Charlie to placate him while he talked about other men. 'He's, the most giving, honest, good willed person that I have ever met in my life.'

Charlie laughed and accepted another quick kiss from his boyfriend. It was always interesting to him to hear people who had no idea who they were's opinion's of them. Travis was a wizard and heard many stories about Harry Potter, but no one informed him that the Harry in the living room was him.

If anyone slipped and called Draco Malfoy, then Travis knew who he was as well. His family name was as notorious as Harry Potter was famous, but over the past year his family had dropped the formality and called him by his given name.

The major difference that Christmas, other than Travis, was Draco's mother. After her release, Draco kept her close and though they were hesitant accepted her presence for Christmas. She stuck closely to her son and sister, but got along well with Fleur.

When Harry entered the kitchen it startled Travis and Charlie and they broke apart.

'Don't stop on my account.' Harry picked up the bottle of wine from behind Travis. 'I just came to get Draco some more.' After he filled Draco's glass halfway, Travis held out his glass and Harry filled it as well.

'Well', Travis said leaning toward Harry. 'Aren't you the gentleman.'

It caused Harry to blush and Charlie to shake his head at Travis. He could be such a flirt sometimes. What was more amusing to him was that Harry was completely oblivious. Even when Travis accidently brushed his arm against Harry's three or four times.

'I like taking care of Draco.' Harry's smile brighten when he said Draco. 'It makes me feel needed.'

After the war, Harry had become an Auror. He complained through school about how he never wanted "this". The "this" being the fame and responsibility that was thrown on him. He wanted to be normal, but after everything he learned that he really needed that responsibility. Being an active person being normal was… boring. He still hated the fame, but quit complaining and even offered to do things whenever he was needed.

Draco was about the neediest person he ever met. He needed to be reassured that Harry loved him, wanted him, only him, and that he was attractive. As strong and capable of a person Draco was in every other aspect of his life. When it came to love he was needy. Most people would have been driven crazy by it. Harry loved it. His entire childhood he was told he was worthless, and Draco made him feel important and worthy. The need was his as much as it was Draco's.

'So', Charlie said. 'How's being married?'

Travis narrowed his eyes at him.

Harry shrugged. 'The same as dating only… I don't know. A little more final.' He thought about it for a minute. 'I think it makes a both feel more secure in our relationship. Having made that promise to each other.'

'What I can't believe is that you asked his father's permission.'

Travis laughed along with Charlie, but for different reasons. He thought that was the most adorable thing. Who asked someone's parents permission anymore?

Charlie pictured what Lucius's face must have looked like.

Harry shook his head and joined their laughter. 'I still can't believe Lucius Malfoy said yes.

Travis choked on his wine. 'Malfoy? He's Draco's father?'

Before anyone could answer, Draco entered the kitchen and took his glass from Harry kissing him before taking a drink.

'What about my father?'

Travis embarrassed and afraid that he might say the wrong thing remained silent, but Charlie being the chivalrous, brave, man that he was came to his rescue. He knew he kept him around for a reason other than then his body.

'Harry was just about to tell us how he talked your father into accepting your marriage.'

Draco smirked when Harry blushed, stuttered, and pulled at the hair behind his left ear.

'Well, umm…' He hated telling stories. Draco was better at it. 'I went with Draco to visit it father.' Draco told him it was a bad idea, but Harry wanted to do it. Not because he cared about Lucius or how he felt about them being together. He hated him, but he loved Draco and he wanted to do it for him.

It was dark, as it always was, in Azkaban. A few things were better than they use to be. For one, they were allowed visitors. There were no longer dementors as guards and they had clothes instead of sacks. All of those things were Hermione's doing. She was attempting to make them more like muggle prisons, and considered Azkaban more like a torture camber. Those who were afraid of being accused of being anti-muggle, caved into her demands. The rest wanted the people in Azkaban to pay for their crimes and were harder to persuade, but considering whom Hermione was and everything she went through because of Death Eaters. She got most of what she wanted.

Lucius was not happy to see Harry. After Draco told him about his relationship with him, he refused to look at or speak to Draco during their visits for about three months. He caved in and asked his son, how he had managed to fall into a relationship with 'the boy who lived.' Then they never brought it up again.

One day, Potter was there sitting next to Draco in his cell.

'Mr. Malfoy, I would like to marry your son.'

Draco winced at how that had come out. No prelude?

Before Harry could continue the speech he had prepared, Lucius scoffed. 'I'm not in the position to stop you.'

Harry's posture stiffened and jaw hardened in a way Draco remembered from their fights at school. Pissed already. Draco knew this was a bad idea.

'Listen', Harry said. 'I know you don't like me.' Harry glared into Luicius' blue eyes and was thankful that Draco had inherited his from his mother. 'Merlin knows, I despise you.'

There went his intentions of getting on Lucius good side. Draco never was sure if he was even on his father's good side, and knew Harry never would be. He wanted to hear the speech he prepared though.

'But, I care about Draco. I plan on taking care of him like you never could.'

Insulting him wasn't the best move, but this whole idea was hopeless to begin with. Draco shifted his weight on the stone stool as he waited for the torture to end.

'And I love him', said Harry. 'Like you never did.'

Draco choked and grabbed at Harry's arm in attempt to stop him. That was not fair; he father did love him. He was never the best at showing it, but he loved him.

'But.' Harry ignored Draco. 'For some unknown reason, after everything you put him through and everything he has done for you.'

Lucius looked as if he could kill Harry.

Draco was torn. He wanted to defend his father's choices, but he agreed with his lover that he forced Draco to make difficult decisions.

'After all the crap he has to put up with because of you.'

To say that people were not friendly with him after the war would be an understatement.

'He still loves you and defends you, and even came to fucking visit you. Even when you ignored him for months, because he was actually finally happy.' Harry was yelling, but the guards who were outside watching them made no moves to stop him. Harry would never hurt Luicius, but Draco suspected that even if he had kill him they'd let him get away with it.

'And you know what?'

Draco braced himself, he knew this was going to be bad. He was hoping that Harry kept quiet about anything embarrassing he had learned about Luicius. And left their very amazing sex life out of it, but he never put anything passed Harry when he was angry.

'He is happy. Happier with me than he has ever been before. And it didn't matter to either of us that no one really supports this.'

Draco was surprised to hear that. He thought that he decided to do this, because it bothered him.

'Because, we love each other and nothing that anyone says or does will ever change that.'

Luicius stopped glaring at Harry and watched his son's reaction to everything he was saying.

'But, I wanted to come here and try to get you to accept this, because the only thing that is keeping him from being happy right now is you.'

Lucius starred at his son. He never saw Draco look the least bit guilty about their relationship, but he taught his son to never let anyone know how he felt about anything.

'I can see this is pointless, I'll leave.' Harry turned to Draco. 'I'll see you outside.'

Once he got the door open Lucius spoke. It was forced, and obvious that he was unhappy about it.

'Wait.'

Harry turned and raised an eyebrow, which was something he learned from Draco.

Lucius sneered at the sight. 'I do love my son.'

It was odd watching them have a conversation about him like wasn't there and he shifted again to keep his legs from going numb.

'I am not pleased with your relationship for obvious reasons.'

Harry opened to his mouth to say something probably about love.

'I am not blind. And I can see that…' He grit out his next words. 'You both care for each other.' Lucius turned to Draco.

'Father?'

Harry was getting impatient.

But Draco knew his father and that meant. He was stunned.

'I do not wish to make your life any harder than I already have. I don't like this.' He gestured at Harry. 'But… I love you.'

Draco felt his eyes tear. His father said those words aloud for the first time.

'And I will accept it, if that is what you want.'

'That was a eventful visit.' Draco added whilst he shook the memory out of his head. 'Let's get back out there, before they accuse us of having an orgy in here.'

They all laughed, and then followed him back out into the living room. The Burrow was much too small for this type of crowd. Draco, more that once, suggested they have Christmas at their home; it was four times the size. Harry said that he liked the closeness of the Burrow, and neither of them were certain the Weasley's would feel welcome their no matter what they did.

Ron and Hermione were comfortable, and spent time with them there. Hermione and Draco got along, after finding out they had quite a few common interests. Ron accepted Draco, because he was relieved that Hermione had someone other than him to talk to about the boring details in her books.

The kids where excitingly opening their presents, when they entered the room. The adults in attempt to keep the gift giving from getting out of hand did a gift exchange where before hand everyone picked a name out of a hat. Everyone still got something for their spouse and everyone got something for the children, so there were still plenty of gifts. They all took turns except the kids went at about every other turn.

Draco happened to pick Fleur's name. She was difficult for anyone else to buy for, but he never seemed to have a problem with it. Hermione had played with the idea of tampering with the hat to make sure they always got each other. She decided that would be unfair and defeat the purpose all-together of making them feel more like family.

The men where predictable when it came to buying things for their wives. Candles, soaps and perfume were popular amongst them all. Draco had this thing about getting Harry stuffed animals. Not everyone could quite understand that, and Ginny rolled her eyes every time she saw one. He had explained to Hermione once that Harry was horrible to buy for, because he really wanted nothing material wise. After Harry confined in Draco, and told him about his childhood Draco began to buy him toys.

Some magical toys, but muggle toys as well. Teddy bears were the favourite. Harry once bought Draco a stuffed dragon. Before they had come out about their relationship, Harry spent a lot of time away. Even more around the holidays. Once Harry came back early in the morning before Draco woke up, and caught him wearing his clothes and snuggling with his dragon. As cute as the picture was, Harry never left him alone during the holidays again. He decided that if his friends wanted to see him, then they could deal with Draco to.

Draco got him photo albums that year. Harry was confused at first, but then opened them and saw that Draco had started them. One was for pictures of Harry and Draco, then one for Teddy and the other was for pictures of his friends. Draco was easier to buy for, but harder to make it sentimental. They were already married and had rings and he didn't need another stuffed dragon no matter how many teddy bears Harry then had. Clothes and cuff links; those made him happy.

Then it was Travis's turn, though he wasn't expecting anything at all.

'I know that this is sudden.' Charlie handed Travis a tiny little box. 'But we aren't getting any younger.' He knew what it was from the hints all night and the size and shape of the box. Travis could not believe he was going to ask him this in front of his family, who Travis had barely met.

'Well, it's not the most romantic way of going about it, but if you had I probably would have made fun of you for it anyway.' Then nodded towards Harry. 'No offence.'

Harry waved it off. He knew he was the cliché of romantics.

'Of course, I'll marry you.' They kissed for the first time in front of Charlie's parents. No one said anything if it bothered continued opening presents.

Later as everything was whining down and the children were sent to bed, Charlie and Travis were discussing there soon to be marriage.

'How are you going to do your names?' asked Ginny trying to take part in the conversation.

'Well, I could take your name if you like Charlie', Travis said. 'I never did care much for mine.' Then the inevitable happened, and what Ginny had been hoping for. 'What did you two do?' He gestured to Harry and Draco. 'You didn't take the name Malfoy did you Harry?' Charlie grimaced when it came out of Travis' mouth. Malfoy liked his name and though it was then notorious as associated with dark wizards, he never liked people looking down at it. Harry gave an awkward smile.

'Merlin no', He looked at Draco, 'Not that's is not a good name, but….' There was no need to say anything, because that conversation ended in agreement long before. 'Could you imagine? Harry Malfoy?'

They all laughed at that.

'It sounds like some horrible disease', Draco said. 'But, Draco Potter sounds just as bad.' He turned towards Travis. 'That's one of the reasons we both just kept our own names.'

'Wait?' Travis held a hand up to stop all conversation. 'Draco Potter? Harry your last name is…' He looked over Harry once more, and realized that his hair was long in the front to cover a small scar on his forehead. Unnoticeable, unless you looked for it. 'You're Harry Potter?'

Harry smiled, nodded, and blushed. Which Draco thought was adorable and he took Harry's hand in his and kissed it. Harry blushed for a different reason. 'And you're Draco Malfoy… and you're married to each other?'

Charlie said, 'You weren't surprised about that a fifteen minutes ago, Travis.'

'Well, how is this not in the papers?' Travis asked confused. This would have been the biggest news, since Harry had defeated Voldemort It should have been such a scandal.

'Draco is very good at keeping my personal life out of the papers.' Harry smirked. 'It seems as though a lot of people are afraid he might use dark magic on them if they upset me.'

They all laughed it off as Travis sat there mouth open, gob smacked.
