~Harrison POV~
After everyone had calmed down albeit only somewhat we had moved into the kitchen with a newly awakened Rabastan. I pulled Draco closer to my body as we sat in the chair to the left of my Mum and Dad.
"Tabby could you please bring tea and lemon cakes?"My Dad asked his personal house elf that he had called for.
"Right away master Riddley"The house elf replied and disappeared with a pop and left everyone laughing and snickering at the ridiculous nickname the elf had given him. Contrary to what everyone thought my Dad was not insane and bloodthirsty. He was kind, caring, funny, and protective.
We first met when I was ten and had run away from the Dursley's and their abuse. When he saw the lightning bolt scar he also saw a glamour. He had worked his way through the glamour and had destroyed it letting my true appearance come to light as his son. He took me away after putting an Imperio on the stupid muggles so the wouldn't alert anyone that I was gone.
I spent time with everyone and was welcomed back into my home with open arms. My family even though they were extremely crazy at times were one of the best things that happened to me. Draco being the best. I came out of my thoughts to see fresh tea on the table and everyone staring at me.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?"I asked glancing around the table. I looked at Mum and Dad both were looking at me with raised brows.
"Harrison you have been sitting there for five minutes with an insane smile on your face"Severus answered before biting into a lemon cake along with a few others. I let out a laugh that was deeper than my Mother's but just as crazy watching a few of the room's occupants shiver.
"You're going to turn out just like your Mother, Salazar help us all"Dad said laying his head on the table and letting out an exasperated sigh.
"And what exactly is wrong with that?"Mum asked turning a glare toward Dad who shrunk back.
"Nothing nothing at all it's a wonderful thing,"Dad said hurriedly probably hoping he wouldn't be hexed while the rest of us sat around the table snickering. Mum turned away from him with a nod and glanced toward the big grandfather clock.
"It's late I suppose we should retire for the night," Mum said standing up and pulling Dad with her and leaving after giving Draco and myself a hug and a goodnight to everyone. Soon the room had filled out leaving only Draco, Rabastan, and myself.
"Go on up Dragon. I'll be there in a few minutes" I said in a hushed tone in Draco's ear. He turned to me with understanding in his eyes as he looked over to Rabastan before placing a small kiss on the corner of my lips and leaving towards our room.
"Are you okay Rab?"I asked once I had taken a seat next to him and turned to face him.
"Did you kill him, Harr?"Rab asked me after a few moments of silence. I didn't know what he was feeling or thinking because he kept his voice leveled and wore the mask that Lucius had taught us all.
"I did, I had no choice if I hadn't had killed him and Narcissa they would have killed Draco and I"I answered truthfully watching as the mask he tried to keep up fell.
"It's okay you were protecting yourself and your mate" He replied wrapping his arms around my torso and hugging me which I returned.
"I stopped thinking of him as my brother a while ago," Rabastan said as he relaxed more into the hug.
"Do you trust me, Rab?"I asked pulling back and putting him at arm's length. He shook his head and I stood bringing him up with me and heading towards the South corridor where all the others rooms were except our parents. I stopped at a room that had a black and turquoise dragon design on it and knocked.
Charlie opened the door his silver eyes widening when he saw Rabastan and turned questioning eyes towards me. Sine Lucius and Severus had blood adopted Charlie and his brothers they had inherited some attributes from them. They all had mates and had gained a large magical core boost. It also turns out that Charlie's mate is Rabastan.
"I want you to stay with Charlie tonight and let him watch over you,"I told Rab making sure that Charlie could hear what I said also. When Rabastan gave me a nod I turned back toward Charlie who now had opened the door and was standing in the doorway.
"Go on in Rabastan," Charlie said moving to the side so Rab would have enough space to get through. I gave him a quick hug and a goodnight before he disappeared through the door.
"You take care of my brother Charlie,"I said clapping him on the back and then heading towards my room. I opened the door with a green dragon flying through a crown to see Draco sitting at the desk while pulling a black and silver brush through his shoulder-length hair.
"Is he alright?"Draco asked not looking up and continuing his nightly rituals while I slipped out of my shirt throwing it into the wardrobe.
"He is because he is with Charlie"I answered watching as he glanced up in shock at me with wide eyes.
"You left him with Charlie are you sure that's a good idea?"Draco asked me before standing from the desk with the brush hanging loosely from his fingers and looked absolutely adorable in my too big shirt.
"I know what I'm doing pet and Charlie is good for Rab"I answered stripping of my pants and discarding them with my fallen shirt leaving me in briefs.
"Alright, Dominant I trust you"He said motioning me over to him and having me sit at the desk he once occupied. Draco always brushed our hair before we went to sleep. I didn't care about my hair much only enough to wash it and get it trimmed but Draco he loved my hair. He especially loved to style it and he said I quote "It makes you look like a perfect prince and a warrior".
So I let him have his way because in the end it makes him happy and I would do anything for him just to make sure he keeps smiling. I looked up at Draco's reflection smiling when I saw the look of concentration on his face while he plaited my hair.
"Alright I'm done let's go to sleep"Draco said tieing the braid off with a thin strip of leather and pulling me up out of the chair. Once we layed down I pulled him to me and placed a soft kiss on his pale pink lips before shutting off the candle. Once his breath evened out and slowed I soon fell asleep too.
