Chapter Three: Motherhood According to Draco

Draco was perfectly content being a stay-at-manor mom. It was everything he had dreamed of doing when he was child, and when he finally convinced Potter that he wasn't just an insufferable ferret during their school days and they consequently married, Draco knew that all his dreams were going to come true.

He no longer had to worry about being forced into a loveless marriage with a pureblooded woman his parents picked out for him for starters...

Draco didn't have to be the breadwinner in the relationship and actually work for a living either- he simply had to sit at home, tell the house elves what to clean and cook, organize parties for Harry's coworkers and friends, and entertain the many guests who visited their home. In fact, in Draco's opinion, being a house-wife was practically a career within itself.

The Slytherin was also able to spend his leisure time shopping, redecorating the house, going to social functions, and occasionally modeling for the spare wizarding magazine or two. Harry had found out very quickly during their marriage that his husband was a very busy man for a wizard without a job.

The one thing though that brought the most joy to Draco's life, after having his brains shagged out by Harry for hours on end, was raising all five of his kids. Little Jamsie, Narcy, Al, Scor, and Lily-Lu named respectively, James Jr., Narcissa, Albus, Scorpius, and Lily Luna were his reasons for being. They were a product of his and Harry's love. The five of them made everything Draco suffered as a child worth it because they made Harry the happiest wizard in all of Wizarding England. Being a mother was what Draco considered to be a full time job. He loved having a large family.


Harry glanced at his husband from over his copy of the Daily Prophet as they ate breakfast as a family in silence. A seventeen year old, stoic James Jr. had his own copy of the Prophet propped up in front of him as his fifteen year old sister, Narcissa was busy balancing a piece of toast in her mouth while she used nail polish to paint her nails Ravenclaw blue. The twins, Albus and Scorpius, who were a year younger than their older sister were both sitting a bit further from their other siblings while they whispered to each other secretively as they ate. It seemed that their youngest daughter, Lily Luna was the only one to have yet arrive for breakfast, which worried Harry. He stared at Draco through his newest pair of half-moon spectacles and pointedly coughed to gain his spouse's attention. Something might have happened to their little girl without their knowledge...

A loud 'THUMP' then echoed from up the stairs as if to answer Harry's speculations.

The Auror sighed, "Draco, could you please be a dear and go check on Lily Luna?" He looked towards his blonde husband to happily agree and go check on his "reason for being" as he so often took to calling any of his children in the presence of other parents.

Draco didn't bother to look up from his plate and barely managed to grunt out a response:

"Go take care of your own damn kid Potter, I'm busy."

Harry sighed and stood up, 'So much for loving being a stay-at-manor mom,'' he thought with a wry smile.


Author's Note: Heh, this chapter didn't turn out as I expected it to but I love it all the same. I can totally see Draco loving his lazy life as a pureblooded aristocrat while Harry actually has a career and acts as the breadwinner. I can also see Draco being a very loving mother to his kids but not being a morning person XD especially when one could be snapping at his poor husband instead. It seems old habits die hard eh?

Well, please continue to read and review! This story may head into rated M territory pretty soon... (like how each Malfoy-Potter was conceived haha)
