I have been informed that I've been spelling Voldemort wrong. I've been spelling it with an i instead of an e, ahgk I feel stupid, but thanks for letting me know, it helps a lot when you guys tell me stuff like that. Thanks again, here's the next chapter. :)

Chapter 7

Draco sat on the couch in the sitting room next to Harry and thought about the letters contents for the millionth time. His mother had written to him informing him that Voldemort had sent a team to Azkaban to bring his father back and in a week he would be executed if no substantial progress had been made. She had also said that she now had the cabinet in her room and she had sent invitations to the Notts and Zabinis to stay at the manor. They accepted, and were going to arrive either tomorrow or the day after Christmas. The order had him write back saying that everything was going well and to have her write him when they arrived. He wished her a Merry Christmas and then sent the letter as if there was nothing wrong. Draco was terrified, Christmas break lasted a lot longer than a week and they planned on getting everyone after it was over, time was running out and he may not be able to save both his parents after all. If it hadn't been for the room full of people Draco would have started crying the moment he read the letter. The order had called an emergency meeting after that and hadn't left the kitchen for another two hours. When they did finally come out, Draco jumped up off the couch and all but ran to Severus.

"What are we going to do?" Draco asked while trying and failing to hide his worry. Harry was by his side now and was waiting for an answer as anxiously as he was.

Severus looked carefully at both boys his godson looked pail and frantic and tired and Potter looked similar, only thinner, actually a lot thinner, he'd never really paid that much attention before. He sighed and tried to answer them carefully.

"We've decided to try to get them out a bit earlier, but we'll have to move the cabinet here and we've still got to wait until the Zabinis and Notts get to Malfoy Manor. We are going to have to rush a little, but we should be able to get them out in time, try not to worry we're handling it." Draco hated the fact that he wasn't involved in saving his family, they were his family after all, his. Draco just nodded and tried to ignore the feeling that he should be doing something more, when Severus hugged him.

"Don't worry, you've done enough, just stay calm." Severus told Draco quietly before releasing him.

Draco let out a deep breath. "Okay." He said, but he never disagreed more. After that Mrs. Weasley called them all for dinner and Draco just pushed his food around on his plate for a while until it was over. When it was, he just went back up to his shared room and flopped down on his bed. There was a knock at the door and Draco just grunted as a response. The door opened to reveal Harry.

"You okay?" Harry asked as he shut the door and sat down next to Draco.

"Peachy." Draco said as he turned his head to look over at Harry.

Harry reached out and moved some of Draco's hair aside, then realized that he liked the feel of the blond strands in his fingers so he kept playing with his hair. Draco surprised both himself and Harry when he didn't tell him to stop, but it felt good so he just let him. Draco's eyes closed and Harry almost stopped, but Draco grabbed his hand and put it back on his head as a silent request. Harry chuckled, but he continued to card his hand through his hair until he heard Draco's breathing change when he fell asleep. Harry got up slowly after that and quietly flicked the light off and left the room to join the others in the sitting room downstairs. After a few hours Mrs. Weasley finally made them all go to bed, and grudgingly they did. Ron however, had insisted on trading rooms with Blaze, he had seen how Theo was acting around his sister and he wanted to keep an eye on him, Blaze was only too happy with this turn of events. Harry went back to their room and changed for bed, but he left the light off so he wouldn't wake Draco up, then he suddenly heard a whimpering sound. Harry frowned as walked over to Draco's bed, he heard it again and this time Draco twitched a little and then it happened again, but louder this time.

Harry sat down next to him and rubbed his back. "Shh Draco, your okay." Harry whispered near his ear. The whimpering decreaced and his eyes cracked open, when he saw Harry, he grabbed onto his wrist. "It was a bad dream, go back to sleep." Harry told Draco, and his eyes closed again, but his grip oh Harry didn't lessen. Harry sighed, he didn't want to wake Draco and after a moments hesitation he laid down next to him and pulled the covers up over them. After all if Draco was willing to sleep with Harry, then he should probably return the favor, right? Harry fell asleep quickly and neither of them woke up again until the next morning. Draco again woke up first and looked around, he quickly realized two things: one, It was Christmas, and two, he was again cuddling with Harry. Harry sighed into his chest and Draco felt his skin tingle where his breath ghosted up to his neck. Draco realized he liked waking up with Harry and he'd realized a while ago that he probably just plain out liked Harry, quite a bit. Draco wondered how he should wake him up, shaking him wasn't exactly what he had in mind, he wanted to be creative. Yesterday he had just let him wake up on his own, though it had been cute when he'd snuggled into his chest. Draco grinned and started rubbing Harry's stomach Harry sighed in his sleep again and his arms moved to above his head while he was still asleep, interesting. Draco slipped his hand under Harry's shirt and started rubbing the set of abbs that he found there. Harry curled into him like a cat and Draco continued upward, he could sense Harry was waking up. Harry groaned and then rolled over practically on top of Draco and then his eyes fluttered open.

"Morning." Draco said pleasantly. "Happy Christmas."

"Oh er, Happy Christmas to you too." Harry said as he scrambled off of Draco, his face heating up quickly. "We should uh, open our presents now." Harry said as he walked back toward his bed.

"Okay." Draco said as he bit back a laugh and began opening his presents. He received the usual things; some sweets, some clothes, some books, a nice potions set from Sev, and... an odd lumpy package? Draco quickly tore it open and was surprised to find a light grey knitted sweater.

Harry was suddenly laughing. "You got a Weasley sweater too? She must like you." Draco was shocked to realize that it was like one of the sweaters the Weasleys wore and he noticed that Harry was already wearing a dark green one that matched his eyes.

"It's so soft." Draco said as he rubbed it.

"Ya I know, they're great."

Draco smiled. "I'll have to thank her." He said before tugging it on, he was again surprised at how warm it was and how well it fit him. Once all of their presents were opened they headed downstairs and thanked everyone for everything at breakfast.

"Thank you very much for the sweater Mrs. Weasley, it's lovely." Draco said and received a hug in return that surprised him into hugging back.

"Of course sweetheart. It's no trouble." Draco voued to buy that woman an entire shops worth of yarn the next chance he got. He sat back down at the table and began to eat breakfast with the others. After breakfast they all decided to decorate the cookies under the strict supervision of Mrs. Weasley and then ate most of them. After that everyone sat in the sittingroom and talked about school and their presents and played games of wizards chess and exploding snap for the rest of the day. After dinner Kingsley and Severus apparated in with the cabinet. Everyone was silent as they watched them levitate it up the stairs. They put it in Remus's room for now sence he was sleeping in Sirius's room, pretty much everyone had found out soon enough, if they hadn't already known.

Kingsley and Severus were just walking out of the room when they were suddenly stopped. They both looked up to find another missletoe and Severus was about to start cursing someone, when Kingsley shoved him up against the door frame and started snogging him senseless. Severus began responding after a moment of shock and Mrs. Weasley began sheparding everyone back downstairs. This time, she didn't yell at the twins and they both just grinned and slapped eachother low fives. When they came back downstairs their lips were swollen from kissing and nobody bothered holding back their laughter. Severus scowled, but he stayed close to Kingsley until they left, when they did leave, however, he apparated Severus with him to his house, they both planned on staying there all night.

When it was once again time to go to bed, both Harry and Draco climbed into their own beds and they both missed sharing a bed. Draco suddenly got out of his bed and walked over to Harry.

"There's no reason we can't just share a bed again." He announce, Harry grinned and scooted over and Draco climbed under the covers with him and wrapped an arm around his waist before closing his eyes and falling asleep, Harry followed soon after.

This time, Harry was awake first and he was rather certain that Draco had been messing with him before he woke up yesterday and he wanted revenge. Harry slipped his hand under Draco's shirt and made light circles on his stomach. Draco gave a snort in his sleep, he was ticklish, perfect. Harry continued to rub his stomach slowly then moved to his side and slowly slid his hand up, eliciting another snort from the sleeping blond. Suddenly Harry used both his hands and began tickling him, he snapped awake and jumped before laughing uncontrollably. He almost fell off the bed, but Harry caught him and pulled him back before straddling him so he couldn't go anywhere. Draco tried to fight back, but gave up when he realized Harry was too strong. Harry finally stopped, but they both continued to laugh until Harry realized what position he was still in and quickly got off.

"Come on, we should go down for breakfast soon." Harry said still grinning. They both got dressed and headed down to the kitchen, but as they passed the front door someone banged on it.

"Is someone here?" Remus asked as he walked into the room.

"Someone's banging on the door. It might be Snape." Harry supplied as Sirius entered the room.

"Why would he knock?" Sirius wondered aloud as he opened the door.

To his surprise it was not Severus at the door. "Er- Remus." Sirius said. Remus looked over his shoulder and the words to reply escaped him as he looked down at a young baby on the doorstep in a basket and wrapped up in a bundle of blankets. There was a note on top and Remus hesitated before picking it up and reading it, he didn't notice Sirius pick up the baby after him.

Dear Remus,

I'm sorry, but I'm pregnant, or I was, at least. This is your son, I've named him Theodore Remus Lupin and I had my friend in the part of the ministry that handles files and custody of children sign full custody over to you. I'm just to young to have a child right now, please take good care of him. I'm sorry.

Tonks

Remus looked up from the short letter and looked back into the basket. When he didn't see anything there other than the basket, he had a mini heart attack until he looked up at Sirius and saw that he was bouncing and rocking the baby in his arms.

Sirius looked up at Remus. "So can we keep him?" he asked when he saw Remus had read the note.

"I-I don't know, he's mine, and I want to, but I'm so dangerous, and he'll never want a werewolf for a father."

"What are you talking about, of course were keeping him." Harry said immediately. They both looked over at him. "Look, any dad is better than no dad. Trust me he'll love you no matter what, and you can't just ship him off to some orphanage. I'll even help when I'm not at school and Sirius'll help too, right?" Harry asked looking pointedly at Sirius.

"Absolutely." Was his happy answer. "Remus, this is great, your a dad. Congratulations!" It finally seemed to sink in that this was his child, his cub.

Remus couldn't help but smile. "Alright, then let me hold him." Sirius handed him over and Remus walked him inside while Sirius grabbed the basket and a large bag that he hadn't noticed before that was full of diapers and bottles and formula and toys. They walked into the kitchen and suddenly everyone stopped talking and looked at them. Remus took a moment and then explained everything to Molly, who sighed and began explaining what to do when it came time for feeding and to change the diaper and several other things that Remus paid rapt attention to. All of the girls fawned over Teddy, as Sirius had already nicknamed him, but Remus let Harry hold him first. Harry was happy to hold him and he rocked him as he sat down at the table and ate a piece of toast. The others were surprised at how good he was with Teddy, but his aunt had always volunteered to babysit for the neighbors and Harry usually ended up taking care of them. Suddenly Teddy's small tuft of light brown hair turned dark black. Harry gasped and called Sirius and Remus, who all but ran over.

"We'll, he's a metamorphamege like Tonks." Sirius said happily.

"Tonks is the mom?" Ginny asked. "Well that explains why she hasn't been around." The others agreed and continued to stare at the baby, waiting for him to change something again, he didn't though.

Finally around dinner, the order showed up again and all tried to get organized on what to do. The Zabinis and Notts arrived at the manor that morning and they were going to bring everyone here tonight. After much arguing, it was decided that Draco would have to go through with an order member. They decided on Kingsley, and within a few minutes they were both stepping into the cabinet to go through.

Draco opened the cabinet door slowly and peeked out. He could see his mother and father on their bed and they appeared to be talking.

"You know what to do." Kingsley whispered to him, he nodded and, with his wand drawn, opened the cabinet door and stepped out. Draco walked over to his parents who both gasped when they saw him.

"Draco, how-" His mother began, but he cut across her.

"Who is great uncle Thorin?" He asked his mother.

"Er- he was my mothers brother, but he was disowned for marrying a muggle." Draco nodded. "And who was Aunt Earnest?" He asked his father.

"My step-sister, she married a muggleborn and was disowned as well." He answered correctly.

"Alright," Draco said. "mother go and get the Notts and the Zabinis and bring them here with all of their things, please." His mother didn't question him, she simply nodded, stood, and left the room. His father stared at him like he'd never seen him before in his life.

"Draco-"

"Father, pack your things, and mothers as well." He stared a moment longer before rising and moving about the room, packing things as he went. His mother came back in about ten minutes with Mr. and Mrs. Nott and Mrs. Zabini and Blaze's little sister, Amilia. They were all carrying bags and trunks and it was then that Kingsley showed himself. They all gasped.

"Shh, please, I'm here to help, come with me, your children are waiting for you." They all looked to Draco who nodded.

"Hurry," Draco said. "We don't have much time." They all looked back at Kingsley a bit untrustingly, but Mrs. Zabini walked over, levitating all of her trunks and holding her daughters hand. Kingsley helped them fit everything into the cabinet and then stepped in with them after showing them both a slip of paper with the orders address written on it.

"I'll be right back." He promised before closing the doors. Narcissa began hurrying about the room, helping her husband pack everything while the Notts waited for Kingsley to get back. When he returned a moment later he quickly helped them into the cabinet and left with them again. The Malfoys had just finished packing everything and were ready to go. They levitated their things next to the cabinet and waited. A second later Kingsley was back and was helping them shove everything into the cabinet that Mrs. Malfoy hadn't had time to shrink and pocket. They were all just walking into the large cabinet and were about to close the door when Nagine suddenly launched herself at the cabinet. The door closed just as she got inside and they all jumped out of the way, they hadn't closed the bedroom door all the way and she had gotten in. Draco shot a stunner as she lunged at him again and it hit the roof of her mouth. She fell with a thump at the bottom of the cabinet just as the door opened again and they all fell out. Everyone gasped when they saw Nagini and Dumbledore conjured a sack and put her in it before tying it up.

"I believe I will handle this." Dumbledore said as he held up the bag. No one made any objections. After everyone was questioned and put under a secrecy charm they were all allowed to stay. Dumbledore had Harry remove the hinge so it would no longer work and Moody and another order member took it back to Hogwarts where Dumbledore would take it to the room of requirement later.

"Severus we had no idea, if we knew, well we probably would have asked you to get us out earlier." Narcissa said as she saw him.

"I apologize for never telling you, but obviously I couldn't, and there's actually a bit you don't really know." He added to the shocked Malfoys as Kingsley came up and kissed his cheek.

"Well, clearly." Lucius said, though he was smirking a bit.

After that, the bedrooms were sorted out and dinner was served. Everyone was clearly trying to be polite, but it was obvious that the children were better at making amends than their parents. After dinner they all caught their parents up on everything and sat around talking for a few hours before they went to bed, it had been a long day, and Draco still insisted that there was nothing wrong with simply sharing a bed.
