Chapter 8:
When he awoke the next morning his head was pounding and he didn't feel very well. The laughter of the children rang in from outside of the house and he knew that Pansy and Blaise had stayed yet another night. He was grateful for them for that, after everything that has been happening in his life he needed the help of his friends. If he didn't have the two of them he didn't know what he would be doing right now.
He dragged himself out of his bed and quickly got dressed. He looked out the window to see if he could see the children but couldn't. He made his way down and threw the house towards the back door, where he knew they were. When he opened the door he smiled as he saw the three kids lying in the snow.
Ladon pulled himself up when he heard the back door open and spotted Draco standing there. He hopped over and pointed to the ground where he was just lying.
"Do you like it Father?" He asked making Draco look at the ground.
"That's a perfect Snow Angel Ladon, you did a wonderful job with that." He hugged his son and laughed when he went back to the twins and started to throw snowballs at them.
Draco sighed as he sat down on the patio chairs next to his friends. He needed to tell them, maybe they could help him with his situation. He grabbed the cup of coffee that Pansy had placed in front of him and took a swig before he started to talk.
"The kids are busy, I think it's time for me to tell you who Ladon's other father is." Draco stated hearing a gasp come from Pansy.
"About damn time mat; I would've thought you could trust us way before now." Blaise stated.
"Yeah I have always trusted the two of you but I wasn't sure how you would react. I was mostly afraid of your reaction then you being able to keep it secret." Draco said looking between them.
"Well then tell us. Who is it?" Pansy pried making Draco laugh nervously.
"Potter." He said that one word and saw Pansy stand from her chair, a furious look on her face. Blaise didn't look too pleased either and Draco thought they were angry with him. "I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking, you know sleeping with him but I fell." Pansy's hand came up telling him to shut up and she sat back down.
"I'm not mad at you Draco dear. I am furious at him. How could he not want anything to do with Ladon. I know you said that you told him he wasn't the father but come on, now that I know it is Potter you look at the boy and you can tell he's a Potter." Draco drew his attention from his friends over to his son and understood that the moment someone put two and two together there would be no denying who his son's other father was.
All he could do was hope that Harry stayed stupid and his friends didn't start to suspect.
