Chapter Ten: Beautiful Agony

--Last Time--

"Father?!"

"...Dad?!"

A crash sounded and Draco screamed as someone fell.

–

"Harry!" cried James when his son fell.

He inwardly breathed a sigh of relief when Draco caught him and sank to the floor with Harry in his arms.

"Now look what you've done!!!" snapped Draco.

Lucius cocked an eyebrow and James looked incredulous.

"What we've—" started James indignantly.

"Yes!" howled Draco, picking up Harry and depositing him on a silver and black couch that must have cost more than a regular house, "What were you thinking?!" he snapped, whirling to face his father and Harry's dad, "Snogging each other when Harry is here and nearly giving us a heart attack! You cretins!!! I expected more from you especially, Father!"

"Draco?" said James tentatively, wanting to tell him that Harry was stirring.

"And you! James Potter! How dare you snog my Father in plain view?! It will take me YEARS of therapy to expel that image from my brain! How DARE you!?" Draco ranted.

"Draco?" said Lucius nervously, also noticing what James noticed.

"And Father!!! All those years of telling me that Harry is a moron and that I shouldn't waste my time with him! YOU HYPOCRITE! All this time you've told me to forget Harry while knowing that you were once buggered up the arse by James sodding Potter!" Draco raved.

"You told him WHAT!?"

"Nothing, James, dear, don't listen to him, ahah."

"And now here you are, happily snogging James Potter and practically sitting on his lap, and you had the gall to sneer at me when you saw Harry faint!? You asshole! You cretin! You hypocritical, amoeba brained, stupid, insipid, annoying, vapid, fuckwitted, lying, deceiving, retarded, imbecile!" Draco screamed. He stopped then, chest heaving, face flushed and eyes glowing with fury. He turned, ready to storm out, when a tanned hand caught his wrist and pulled him back.

"James Potter," he growled, not turning, "I suggest you get your filthy hands off of mrgrff!"

Draco was livid. How dare that reborn idiot gag him with his disgusting hand!?

Draco was about to hex James into oblivion when James chuckled and said, "Merlin, Draco! You'd think you'd recognize your lover by now!"

Draco whirled around to face him.

And blinked.

For the person holding onto him was not James Potter, but Harry Potter, his lover.

"Harry!?" he squeaked.

Harry grinned, his vivid green eyes sparkling and leaned in to kiss Draco.

Draco sighed, relaxing immediately, and wrapping his arms around Harry's neck, returned the kiss enthusiastically.

Harry pulled back too soon for Draco's liking and he was about to say so, when Harry smiled and said, "As much as I'd love to get..uh, reacquainted with you, love, I believe Lucius and my...dad, have some explaining to do..."

Draco sighed and reluctantly relinquished his hold on Harry, pouting all the way.

Harry turned to Lucius and James and said, "Okay, first of all: are you really my dad?"

James nodded slowly, eyes wide, as he took in the appearance of his now grown son, who was so different from the baby he remembered.

"Yes, I am." he replied.

"How?" asked Harry shortly.

James sighed.

"That's where Lucius comes in..." and they then explained everything that had happened and their suspicions as to why.

By the end, Harry was gobsmacked.

"Okay, so let me get this straight...you're alive because Lucius is a part Veela and you're his mate?" asked Harry incredulously.

James nodded.

"And you didn't come back sooner, because...?" he trailed off.

James looked guiltily at Harry.

"I'm so sorry, Harry...but at that point, it was all up to Lucius and his Veela side and I guess his Veela side didn't feel it was safe for me to awaken. Lucius himself thought I was dead as well!"

Harry sighed, tilting his head back and rubbing the bridge of his nose, before looking up and smiling weakly.

"Well....Welcome home then, Dad..." he said softly.

James sat still before launching himself at his son and embracing him.

"Oh Harry, I didn't want to leave you...I never wanted to leave you! You have to believe me!" choked out James.

"I know, Dad, I know...It's okay...as long as you're here now," murmured Harry in a thick voice.

While the Potters had their little reunion, Lucius sauntered over to Draco.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, "I shouldn't have said all those things about your Potter, when I myself had one at one time...I...I just didn't want you to experience the same pain that I felt when James and I parted ways...I know how much it hurts...to be apart from the one you truly love and being too proud, stupid and stubborn to try to get them back...it's excruciating...and I didn't want you to go through that. I thought that cautioning you to stay away from Harry Potter would save you...but in the end, it only made you want him more...I'm sorry, Draco."

Draco looked at his Father, really LOOKED at him, and saw that Lucius was mad for James...completely head over heels in love. He also saw the pain and sincerity shining in his normally cold gray eyes. In fact, those gray eyes looked uncannily more like Draco's warm gray ones, rather than being the chips of ice they usually were. Lucius Malfoy was truly in love with James Potter. And what's more? He didn't seem to be ashamed to admit it!

Draco sighed.

"It's all right, Father...I understand. You were just trying to protect me...I thank you for that...but I'm sure you already know how it feels to be crazy for a Potter...One seems to forget reason and sanity when they're passionately in love with one," said Draco smiling slightly.

"Indeed," agreed Lucius, smiling fondly at James, who was currently telling Harry stories about his youth, "It seems all us Malfoys are doomed to love Potters...What a beautiful agony, is it not, Draco?"

Draco nodded, smiling softly at Harry.

"It is...but it's an agony I'm willing to endure. I love Harry, and I want him...and Malfoys always get what they want despite the obstacles, right, Father?" said Draco, smiling slightly at the use of the familiar Malfoy motto.

Lucius looked at his son proudly.

"That's right, Draco...that's absolutely right..."
