Chapter 10:
Draco sat on a bench in the ministry, one hand holding Marcus' while the other bounced Felix in his arm, trying to calm the screaming boy down. Marcus let go of his hand and reached for the crying boy, and instantly Felix stopped crying, making Draco sigh in aggravation.
"He can feel that you are upset, remember. He takes your feelings and expresses them himself." Marcus gently reminded him while placing a soft kiss onto his lips.
"I know, I know. It is just hard to sit here knowing we are going to get Harry removed from this marriage. I love him Marcus, I still feel that pull towards him and I don't understand it. I know he is not my mate but." Draco was suddenly interrupted.
"Both Mister Lupin-Flint's please come this way." A tall lady dressed in ministry attire called from across the hall.
Draco looked longingly up at Marcus as he stood up and started to walk towards the lady, Marcus sighing and standing to follow. Draco felt like his feet were dragging and felt a gentle hand pressed to the small of his back, turning his head he saw Marcus smile at him.
"WAIT DRACO!" Draco stopped at hearing his name being yelled down the hall and saw his father running full speed towards them.
"Yes?" He asked as Remus stopped right in front of him.
"Don't go in there yet, I need to talk to the both of you. It's important." Remus said with pleading eyes.
"Can you give us a moment?" Draco turned and asked the lady.
"You have five minutes before they start to get mad, then you have to come in or leave." The lady said moving back threw the door.
"What it so important right now dad?" Draco asked and saw the look Marcus sent him.
"I talked to Harry just now." Remus started.
"Marcus let's go, I don't want to hear this." Draco started back towards the door to knock on it but was stopped by Marcus reaching out and grabbing his hand, making Draco scowl at him.
"Here him out Love." Draco sighed and gave in, moving to sit down on the bench once again, not feeling the strength to stand there.
"He loves you both very much, I couldn't believe the emotion behind his words." Remus started and continued on to tell them the whole conversation. Draco's emotions changed from pissed off to angry, down to shocked and sad.
"Why would he just let us do this then? Why didn't he come here and tell this to us. Marcus we can't let him disappear like this, we need to find him, Please." Draco pleaded, trying not to let the tears fall from his eyes.
"I know. I feel the connection with him also and it feels like we are missing a great part in our lives with him not being here. I couldn't imagine feeling this way for the rest of our lives." Marcus said pulling Draco close to him and kissing his hair. "Remus do you know where he was heading?" Marcus asked knowing Draco was too shook up to at the moment.
"No he said he would be gone by the time I told you two any of this." Remus stated as he bounced Felix in his arms, having grabbed him from Marcus before he held Draco.
"Maybe they can help us here. Did he apperate at all?" Draco asked.
"Yes he did right after we talked." Remus responded.
"Great. They can follow his signature. Hopefully he was too upset to think about that." Draco said walking over to the door just as it opened showing the lady again.
"Are you two ready?" She asked getting a nod in return from both men. "Right this way please."
Arthur and a couple other Ministry officials were sitting at a long table waiting for them to enter. Draco didn't even bother to wait for formalities or sitting down before he started to speak.
"Arthur, we have changed our minds. The only thing we wish for right now is your help." Draco stated getting raised eyebrows from everyone in front of him.
"And what may that be Draco?" Arthur asked.
"Help locating Harry. He took off by apperation and we have no idea where he may be. We don't want to loose him." Draco said.
"Alright. I was hoping I would be able to convince you two today not to dissolve Harry's part of the marriage. We will see what we can do, please wait outside." Arthyr smiled.
"Thank you." Both Marcus and Draco stated leaving the room swiftly.
"They are going to try and find him. Hopefully it won't take to long and he didn't travel by any other way." Marcus said as he sat down and watched Draco take hold of Felix once again.
"We will get your other daddy home little man." Draco said smiling as he kissed Felix on the forehead.
They sat waiting in the ministry for two hours before the door opened again. Arthur came out this time and walked over to the three waiting men in the hall. Remus stood up waiting for the verdict and ready to calm Draco down just in case.
"Well we found him. He traveled to Ireland, to Semus' house." Arthur reviled. "I contacted Seamus to see if he was still there. He asked why I wanted to know and I said that we needed to get a hold of him about signing paper work. He said that Harry was there and he was waiting for the papers, thinking you two were going to do this. So good luck." Arthur stated before walking away.
"I wonder why he would let us know he was there after telling you other wise." Draco said looking to his dad.
"I don't know. He thinks of Arthur as a father so maybe he told Seamus only to tell him thinking he wouldn't really tell." Remus guessed.
"True, Well let's go get out other husband." Marcus said as he handed Felix over to Remus with a smile, knowing the other man wouldn't care about watching his grandson.
"Yeah let's." Draco replied looking a little upset and scared about how this was all going to turn out.
Fornadan: Okay, can I kick myself in the ass now or later because I didn't notice that. I would love to blame it on me in the middle of moving and kids running around but I also know that I probably have other errors in the chapters and I am going to go back and re-read them all and correct them before I put up a new chapter.
Thank you for pointing this out, I have just been wanting to get this typed and posted before I move, I hate leaving stories going unfinished for a long period of time and I have no idea when I'll have the internet back after I move, that is a reason why I have not started a new on to post yet, even though I have an idea.
