Chapter 8G

Six months into the so-called meetings and the unexpected happened. They finally had the confrontation they needed all this time. It was over something really trivial. During those past six months they grew close. They became friends and discovered that they had many things in common. They shared a passion for spells, magic and dueling. The often dueled after their meetings, Severus and Harry liked sweets, and old muggle movies. Severus unwittingly revealed a lot about him while talking about Lily.

They were in Grimmauld Place, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Draco were at the Weasleys'. Apparently Draco and Ginny were dating now. The pureblood had been reluctant to confess it to Harry. The boy who lived shrugged his head and merely told him that he considered Ginny to be like his sister now. Draco seemed relieved and promised to "set him up" with someone called Astoria.

Arthur almost had a stroke when Ginny brought Draco home. Harry had never seen him like that. The patriarch was incensed and threatened to kill Draco. Charlie and Bill were enraged too, needless to say that the meeting didn't go too well.

"He's a death eater. Fred died because of people like him." Charlie had to be restrained by George.

Surprisingly it wasn't Ginny who came to his defense but Ron. "He's my friend, this is my fault Draco I thought my family was over the prejudices but it seems I was mistaken. Do you really think I would be ok with him and Ginny going out if I didn't know how sorry Draco is or how he's managed to change?" Ron looked directly to his father who was red with anger.

"Let's go mate. We'll have lunch at Grimmauld Place." Ron tried to escort Draco out. Ginny looked sadly at her mother who shook her head. Hermione and Harry were almost by the door with Ginny and Ron close by when they heard Draco speak for the first time since they set foot in The Burrow.

"I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you but I didn't kill Fred. Rookwood killed him. I know you think I'm not right for your daughter but I love her and I won't give her up. She made me laugh again when I thought I would never do it again. She's ninety percent the reason why I wake up every morning. I'm going to marry her with or without your permission." He said seriously, he looked at Arthur Weasley proudly. Harry thought he looked too much like Lucius in that moment. Draco raised his wand. "What is he doing? Is he insane?" Harry whispered furiously close to Ron.

Ron looked pale, "Dear Merlin, he's proposing." Harry's eyes opened comically and then he looked at Ginny who was close to tears.

"Ginevra Weasley will you be my wife?" he asked her turning around.

Ginny squealed and said yes.

Arthur looked ready to kill, Bill was shocked and Charlie was still struggling against George.

That evening was supposed to be one of reconciliation, Arthur had finally decided to let Draco into the house when Molly told him that Ginny was looking for wizarding bond jewelry pieces in the Malfoy vault since he didn't approve the marriage yet and the Weasley heirlooms couldn't be accessed without Arthur's permission.

Severus interrupted him from his musings; Harry was cooking bacon on a pan. "How come you're so good at cooking? Ron and Draco are absolutely clueless and I have to admit I wasn't much better when I was your age.

Harry smiled, "I learned when I was living with the Dursleys, aunt Petunia would hit me with the pan if I burnt it. I have not burn any since I was ten." Harry said proudly.

Severus paled, "What do you mean hit you?" his voice sounded dangerously low.

"I thought you knew. The Dursleys didn't care much about me. They starved me and neglected me ever since Dumbledore placed me in their care."

"No, Albus said that your relatives were glad to take you in. That they considered you their son." Severus stated.

Harry laughed, "No, they hated me. I didn't know my real name was Harry until I was five and went to elementary school. They used to call me Freak."

Severus looked murderous. "Show me." He said and then grabbed Harry by the shoulders.

Harry looked into the dark brown eyes and saw his childhood flash before his eyes. After what seemed an eternity Severus broke eye contact.

"I'll kill them." The potions master made an attempt at apparation Harry grabbed his arm.

They were outside of the Dursley's home when Harry said. "Dad please don't." His boy looked terrified and Severus nodded.

They apparated back to Grimmauld Place. Severus sat down, "you called me dad." He said breathlessly.

Harry misinterpreted the tone of voice, "Sorry I thought it was fine to call you that. I won't do it again…"

"No, it's fine" Severus looked up and hesitated before looking into those beautiful green eyes… he finally said "son." Harry smiled and hugged the older man.

"I'm sorry Harry, I should have known, I should have protected you better. I should have taken you away from them. I knew what kind of person Petunia was and I let it happen. I let Dumbledore convince me that you would be fine in the muggle world."

Harry smiled, his father finally accepted him, he cared about Harry. His anger and these words confirmed that his dad actually loved him.

"I'm so sorry Harry for hurting you for trying to keep away from you." Severus had felt the pain his son felt when he rejected him all those months back in the infirmary.

"Don't worry dad, we have time to start over. Don't we?" Harry smiled openly at the older man who smiled softly.

"We do son, we do."
