For Kaley the vampire lover.
Chapter 9
She calls him up
She's trippin' on the phone now
He had to get up
And he ain't comin' home now
Draco sighed. He hadn't heard from Harry in almost two months, and he wondered, despite what Harry'd told Ginny, if Harry would return to him. He did love Harry, more than he probably should, but he couldn't stop himself. It wasn't what he'd wanted, a complication in a long line of trouble, but now that he had it, he had no intention of letting go. Even if it meant staying with the Weasleys, even if it meant his father never spoke to him again.
"Draco?" It was his mother. She never bothered to knock when she came around his flat. He knew he should talk to her about it, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. One day she'd find him midst a passionate scene, and he feared that day, but also relished in it; it would teach her to respect his privacy.
He lifted his head, tired, and uttered a dry 'hmm?'.
"Have you seen the papers?" She asked softly.
"No, I don't read that snot anymore." He said, wiping his brow. She put the Daily Prophet in front of him. He read the headlines and let his head fall, no wonder Harry hadn't talked to him. Harry was a very public figure due to his position as Head Auror, and he couldn't afford the bad publicity.
Narcissa's hand lowered to her son's shoulder. In the last few months, she'd been the only one that knew about him and Harry. She turned to the second page, where a picture of Lucius was, staring angrily at the ceiling.
"Dragon's dad talks" was the headline. Draco quickly read through it, and he fought the surge of affection that rose in him for Lucius.
"Did he really say all this?" Draco heard himself ask. Narcissa nodded her head, smiling down at him.
Lucius Malfoy, father of the lover of one Harry Potter, gave his thoughts on his son's new relationship. "Draco is an adult, he makes his own choices." The former Death Eater said, his grey eyes fixated on the headlines of last month's issue, "Draco remains my son, whether he's Potter's lover or not. If his sexuality bothered me, I would've disinhereted him. The fact remains standing that he's my son, his sexuality doesn't change who he is or the fact that I love him."
Lucius had never said that he loved Draco to his face, but Mr Malfoy was full of surprises in general.
Draco flew up as a knock sounded on the door. He rushed to it, perhaps it was Harry (he couldn't believe how pathetic he'd become).
"Son," Lucius nodded. Draco's heart fell, but lifted again. This was the first time in a while that his father had spoken to him.
"Dad," Draco said, forgetting the ever-so-formal 'father'. Lucius seemed to struggle with himself, before he simply took a step forward and embraced his son.
