Harry was sitting next to a blushing Draco in the Great Hall. Harry felt terribly embarrassed though thinking about it, it didn't come from him.

"I've read something about it" Hermione, sitting in front of Harry, told them. Draco was still red and Harry could hear him mutter. It seemed to be a lot of fun for Lyra, sitting next to Hermione. "I've read that there were risks of violent nightmares"

"Oh really?" Draco mumbled, still traumatized by the sight of a Harry bathing in his own blood and dying slowly. Harry suddenly saw a picture of him bathing in his blood. He made a good step back and nearly fell off the bench.

"What the fuck was that?" He looked panicked and shocked. "I saw myself dying in my blood" His voice was high and he began to rush back and forth beside the bench. When he passed by Draco for the third time, the blond reached out his hand and stopped him in his motion and made him sit down again.

"You just saw my nightmare" Harry looked reassured for a second.

"Is it possible?" He asked Hermione.

"I guess so, Draco must have sent it to you without doing it on purpose"

"Wait? Can we send each other pictures?" Draco asked her.

"Obviously" Draco made a smile that didn't please Harry at all. He knew he was right when he saw Dumbledore dancing in a really transparent nightdress. Harry took a disgusted look.

"Oh stop it for Merlin's sake" Draco burst out laughing and Harry was captivated by the laughing Slytherin, so he forgot about the dreadful image in his mind. Draco completely ignored Harry's gaze and continued to laugh. Lyra moved closer to Hermione and whispered in his ear.

"It's happening, right? He's falling for him" Hermione turned her head toward her and followed her gaze to Harry. And she saw the gleam in the green eyes that were watching Draco and she understood. Harry was falling for the blond. She smiled, the way Harry looked at Draco was absolutely beautiful to see. Draco suddenly stopped laughing and stared at Harry with a disgusted look.

"You're serious? Stop it right now, Potter" His sentence was not as threatening as he thought, it was probably because he smiled and laughed lightly. Harry burst out laughing, proud of his little joke. He had added Snape to the image Draco had sent him and imposed it in the blonde's mind. He was laughing all the while and when the Professor Dumbledore crossed the hall, accompanied by Professor Snape, their laughter intensified.

They were crying with laughter when Ron, Blaise and their four children arrived. Ron and Blaise froze, astonished to see them like this. Harry leaned on Draco's shoulder, still shaking with laughter and Jordan leaned over to Lyra.

"Sounds pretty good, hum?" She nodded, smiling. Draco and Harry finally calmed down and Harry finally straightened up. When he met the gray eyes, he blushed, embarrassed by his behavior. Harry bowed his head as he felt his dress pulled. He saw Irina, the blue-eyed girl, so he lifted her off the ground and put her on his lap. She began to eat what was on her plate and quickly Lesath was dissatisfied. Draco then put him on his own lap. Harry was glad to have gone to eat early and to have several tables when he saw the ten people still in the apartment arrived together. They all settled in a happy hubbub. Ginny and Pansy joined them and they were complete. Harry noticed that Ron looked different, less reassured and more open to his children. He smiled at his friend, happy to have found him again. Harry noticed that Dumbledore had risen and approached them. He had a sudden bad feeling. The director stopped at their level and gave them classes for the day to get to know each other better and to digest the new events that took place. Harry knew he was talking about this story of Soul mates. He looked at Hermione.

"I was forced Harry, your lives are at stake as long as we don't know any more about this" Harry didn't know what to answer to this argument.

"It's still hot out there, right?" Nathaniel asked innocently. His brothers and sisters looked at him exasperatedly. Hermione nodded. "So we could go to the park? to the lake maybe?" His twin sighed.

"He wants to know if we can spend the day near the lake to bathe" All the teenagers of that time seemed to understand better and acquiesced. So it was with these words that the teenagers got up like one person and went out. They scared some of the students in the corridors. It must be admitted that seeing all this group coming towards you, Draco and Harry in the lead, did not normally presage anything good. They arrived at the edge of the lake and all sat down in a compact mass.

Harry lay down, beginning to feel bad and not getting into the habit of Draco being a cure. He placed a hand on his head, a migraine taking place. Then he felt a hand resting on his hand and he felt immediately better. He opened his eyes and thanked Draco with a smile. Harry began to feel extremely hot, wearing a black T-shirt. He decided to remove it. He saw Nathaniel hopping in the water with Jordan and Lesath and was seized with a mad desire to go swimming too. He stood up and took off his pants and shoes. He turned to Draco, silently inviting him. The young blonde refused and lay down. Harry then went to join the three people already in the water and had a good time with them.

When others came to join them, he left them between them. He isolated himself while staying in the water and seeing Draco lying in the grass, he had an idea. The blond boy had also undressed, it was perfect for Harry's plan. Harry sent an image of himself drowning in to Draco before disappearing under the surface of the water. The blond opened his eyes and straightened up. He looked for Harry with his eyes but seeing him nowhere, he ran towards the lake. As soon as Harry felt the shock of Draco's foot in the water, he jumped to the surface, literally gushing in front of the blonde. The blonde jumped and would fall backwards if Harry had not held him back.

"You're such a moron!" Draco almost shouted. Harry only realized at that moment that he was really scared. He did not apologize for that. As Draco seemed about to kill him with his own hands, Harry grabbed him by the waist and threw himself into the water, taking the blond with him. Draco screamed, catching everyone's attention. They started to worry but seeing Harry rise to the surface laughing, they calmed down very quickly. Draco went back in his turn and Harry swallowed hard while looking at him. He had never found him as beautiful as he was now.

"You'll pay me for that, Potter" Draco told him. Harry snorted.

"Oh really?" Draco took it as a challenge and tried to catch Harry. The latter dodged him and Draco found himself once again under water. He grabbed Harry's ankles and made him fall.

It was Harry's turn to scream. Then followed a fierce battle until they couldn't breathe anymore. They finally collapsed laughing on the shore. They were out of breath and Harry suddenly laughed. Draco turned his head towards him and Harry could feel his questioning through his arm in contact with his.

"I just thought it was good to be a normal teenager. For a few minutes I forgot that Voldemort wanted to kill me. And it did me a lot of good" Draco made no answer but Harry knew he understood perfectly, being in a similar position since he refused to receive the mark. As he thought about it, Harry understood why Draco looked different this year. He no longer had to hide behind a mask to satisfy his father. Then Harry realized a second thing. Draco had refused the mark before knowing the children, which meant that he had chosen the side of the good, his own side. Maybe it was imagining that he had chosen the side of the good because it was his camp but he decided not to worry. The breeze rose and passed over their two bodies still wet. They shuddered.

"We should go" Harry said, getting up. He held out a hand to help him stand up and they returned to their belongings and dressed. All the others did the same and then they went back to the castle, a storm getting ready behind them. Harry wondered what time it was and the time magically appeared in front of him, as if he had launched a Tempus, he had not launched anything. It was almost four. Harry watched as Draco walked not far from him and he was struck by a revelation. A very, very big revelation. He was falling in love with the blond Slytherin and it frightened him. He froze first in the middle of the corridor, completely petrified. Then, after several of the children nearly hit him, he started walking again quickly, very fast. He climbed the stairs four at a time and rushed to the new apartments almost while running.

"Harry! Stop!" Draco shouted behind his back. Harry almost did it to the agreement of his name in the blonde's mouth but he recovered and accelerated even more. Harry was really upset by this revelation and needed to think about it calmly. He did not need to say the password, the passage opening automatically when he arrived. Draco was not so lucky and found himself stuck in front of the stone wall, not remembering the password. He turned around and saw Nathaniel running towards him, Jordan and Ezekiel not far behind him. He did not bother to slow down and almost shouted the password. He almost hit the wall but Draco held him back as best he could. Draco began to get impatient with the slowness of opening the passage. A black aura with red reflections formed around him and the passage opened at once in the face of this powerful magic.

"What the fuck was that?" Jordan asked, panting.

"Increased powers, remember?" Nathaniel simply replied to his boyfriend. He nodded, trying to catch his breath.

"He surely realized that" Ezekiel finally whispered.

"It's obvious" Lyra and Erin replied as they arrived.

"Do we have to go there?" Emett asked, not quite at their level. They all looked at each other.

"We shouldn't" Lyra finally said. They all agreed.

"We could just go down the hall to be sure everything's okay?" Erin suggested.

"Great idea" Alarik replied, running in with Joris. Erin turned to them and welcomed the kiss that Alarik placed on her lips. They then returned to the apartments, going to stand before the door of the room.

In that same room, Harry had locked himself on the parents' side of the room while Draco was stuck on the kids' side and was trying to get in anyway. The brunet was in panic, how could it have happened? Huh? How could he fall in love with Draco? Harry could not deny that Draco was physically attractive, not in fact he was frightfully attractive in the devilish angel genre. But the worst was that without his mask of ice and contempt, this little cunt was horribly cute and kind. Yeah, he was just adorable and shy.

Then Harry stopped suddenly, stopping pacing and tearing his hair. He told himself that there was a problem in his problem. He originally thought that he had started falling in love with Draco from the arrival of the children, but the children had arrived three days earlier. Out, Harry knew a minimum and could not fall in love with anyone in just three days, especially not Draco Malfoy. Then he thought silently as he started walking again. The answer seemed obvious as he walked near Draco's bed for the fourth time and get on the bed. He had been in love with Draco for much longer, where perhaps he was only attracted to him.

No matter, the facts were there: he loved Draco. And above all, he was going to have to hide that. He jumped out of bed when he heard Draco trying to force the door once more. The door opened on its own as Harry approached and he found himself facing the blonde.

"You're okay? What is it?" Draco immediately asked him, grabbing his shoulders.

"Nothing, everything is fine" He muttered. Draco was not fooled but he did not ask for more details and Harry was grateful. Draco let go and as he was going to talk, the door opened slowly, revealing eight heads. Harry allowed them to enter by the look. They entered, invading the room.

"We just wanted to be sure that everything was fine" Nathaniel said. Harry suddenly saw an image of himself and Draco kissing in front of his eyes, followed by a sense of frustration. He was very surprised and turned his eyes to Draco, it could only come from him. He looked up at Harry and when their eyes met Harry realized that Draco had not intentionally sent this picture and the blond knew that Harry had seen it. His eyes widened and he suddenly became red. He stammered out words that Harry did not understand and ran away. Harry stood there, the children staring at him unrestrainedly. As he watched them, he realized that in the end he knew nothing about them, their ages, their homes, or how they were designed. He told them of this observation.

"We can sit here and discuss anything you want, if you want?" Lyra offered him. He nodded and as the three boys who were not part of the family were leaving, he told them to stay. They closed the door behind them and settled down on the floor.

"So, I'm sixteen as well as Zach. Erin, Nathaniel, Ezekiel, Jordan, Eleanor, Joris and Alarik are fifteen years old. Emett is thirteen. Lesath, Irina, Isallys, Erika and Seth are five years old" Lyra said. Harry was silent, trying to record the information that was coming to him in waves.

"And for the houses?" He asked after a moment.

"Me, Erin, Emett and Jordan are in Gryffindor. Lyra, Ezekiel, Zach, Joris and Alarik are Slytherin" Nathaniel replied. Harry nodded with a smile, proud that a majority of his children were Gryffindor.

"And ... How ... uh ... how exactly are you born?" Harry asked, blushing. Erin laughed slightly in front of his embarrassment. Lyra cleared her throat, preparing for a long speech.

"It's due to your bond. In fact, the link has increased your powers considerably and I don't really know what caused it but you could have children. Then for others, it's more complicated. When you became pregnant, it upset your magic even more and the people close to you were able to get pregnant too. That explains that we are all grouped by age group" Harry was now impressed, thanks to him his gay friends could natural children and he was proud enough to have made them this gift. Harry was still wondering something.

"How far is your present from here?"

"Seventeen years" Erin replied. Harry suddenly widened his eyes.

"But you said you were sixteen! That means we're going to get pregnant soon" The children were surprised that Harry was no more shocked or disgusted than that. Ezekiel jumped to his feet.

"I told you! He knows it, he realizes it" Harry raised an inquiring eyebrow.

"That you love him" Nathaniel clarified.

"Oh" was all Harry could say as he blushed. He threw a new Tempus without his wand and he saw that it was almost dinner time.

"Let's go eat" He said, getting up. The eight children followed him to the living room. Hermione ran to them, followed by Theo, who seemed to take a certain pleasure in being with the pretty brunette.

"Are you all right, Harry?" He nodded to reassure her and even added a smile. He looked around for Draco and was disappointed to see him nowhere. Lesath ran to him and Harry received him as best as he could. Fortunately, Nathaniel who was behind him held him back, preventing him from falling.

"Are we going to eat soon, Daddy?" The boy asked in his high-pitched voice. Harry smiled at him and stroked his hair.

"Yes, let's go now" The boy's eyes lit up and Harry laughed. He then went to the door and headed for the Great Hall, hoping to find Draco here for several reasons. First, he felt the first signs of their distance, so he was starting to have a real headache and vertigo would not be long in coming. And secondly, he had two or three things to clear up with him. He slowed down suddenly and almost lost his balance because of his spinning head. He had remained standing only because he had shown great concentration, from the little boy in his arms he could not afford to drop.

Nathaniel arrived quickly and caught his brother. Harry could see the worry on his face so he tried to reassure him as best as he could with a smile. It did not really work, but Harry couldn't do better. They finally settled at the Gryffindor table, where Harry literally dropped. He didn't participate in the conversation of the whole meal, just staring at the door. Finally, a little before the end of the meal, Ezekiel leaned toward Harry.

"He must be at the astronomy tower" He whispered in his ear. Harry washed himself with a bound and ran out of the room. Ezekiel had whispered loud enough that they all heard.

"How can you know where Malfoy is?" Hermione asked.

"They have always told us that their first kiss took place there" the blonde replied, shrugging. Hermione did not understand where he was going, but let it go.

Harry was now climbing the stairs leading to the tower and when he found himself at the door, he was suddenly afraid to enter. Taking his courage as a brave Gryffindor, he lowered the handle and opened the door. All Harry saw was Draco sitting on the railing, his hair in the wind. He hadn't noticed him and Harry stood there for a long time just watching him. He stepped forward a little, fascinated by the reflections of the moon in the blond hair. Draco then seemed to notice his presence, he got off the guardrail and moved closer to Harry, overhanging him by a few inches.

He seemed to look for his words for a moment.

"Listen, I'm sorry..." He began before being cut off by the image Harry sent him. In this mental picture, they were both exactly where they were now, except that they were much closer and passionately kissing each other. After seeing that, Draco looked at Harry questioningly. So Harry followed his instinct. He approached the blonde, placed his hand in the blonde's neck and pressed his lips on his as the storm raged outside and the wind and rain were falling on them.
