Hey everyone! Guess who's computer is fixed! I'm so excited that I can write again! I'm already working on the next chapter as well so that will be up soon! Thank you for the patience, it's appreciated. Now, this chapter will hint at somethings with how the relationship will progress. I hope you like where I'm taking it as I have never done a story this way for Harry Potter. Now, on to the chapter. :)B
Harry watched as the flames engulfed the man he was quickly giving his heart to and sighed. Two days would be a long time for him. He missed his friends, and thought of them daily, but there was something about Draco. Draco relaxed him, made him feel protected and safe. Harry could relax and give up certain parts of himself when Draco was here; he liked that. He didn't understand it, not really as he never had any say in his life and thought he'd really want control. Giving some of it to Draco was a feeling he couldn't imagine. He also knew Draco wouldn't take advantage of it.
Shaking his head of those thoughts, Harry went to take a quick shower and change into some clean clothing. He grabbed a pair of boxers on his way to the bath and then locked the door before turning on the water. He grabbed his toothbrush and did that chore while the water heated up. Getting into the water, Harry let out a sigh as his muscles loosened a bit from sleeping on the floor. While he loved having Draco wrapped around him, the floor wasn't very comfortable. After washing off, the dark haired man turned the faucet off and then grabbed the towel. He ran it over his face and hair so that he could grab his glasses of the counter. He then wrapped the towel around his waist and trimmed his face.
The young man smiled when he was finished and pulled the boxers under his towel before opening the door and walked to his room. He grabbed a pair of jeans, slipped them on, and then pulled a white tee over his head. Getting on the ground of his closet, "there you are" he whispered as he grabbed his trainers, putting them on his feet. As he walked into the living room to leave with the two marauders, he heard Sirius mumbling about having to see Mrs. Weasley. Harry couldn't blame him as he was just a worried about the visit. Molly will once again ask about Harry and tell him it's his duty to continue the line.
"Hey, you guys ready?" he asked as he stepped into the room.
"Yes, cub. Don't let her get to you today. Harry, Gin and Neville, George, the rest...well, they know you and Ginny aren't going to happen. Let them handle Molly, alright? You just have fun." Remus commented to his son.
Harry nodded. "I'll try, that's all I can do."
Sirius sighed. "That's all any of us can do, really. I swear, Moony, one wrong comment and I may hex the bitch."
Harry chuckled as Remus just sighed and shook his head. Remus knew Sirius would do it, and that it wouldn't take much either. One by one, the three men walked through the flames and into the house Harry once thought of as a second home. Red hair surrounded him as he felt someone pull him in a hug. He smiled and wrapped his arms around the girl and smiled in greeting to her other half. Neville smiled back and reached out to touch Harry's shoulder.
"You seem happier, mate." he whispered.
Harry nodded. "Can we talk real quick? I want you guys to know before your mum, Gin."
He watched Ginny's brows furrow in concern then pulled her friend and boyfriend into a secluded corner, throwing a muffliato on the way. The youngest Weasley and the Longbottom listened as Harry told them about Draco and their progressing relationship.
"That's about it. He's really different, Gin. I want you guys to meet him, and he wants to make things right. He listens, sees past the papers. He's always looked past the papers."
The other two smiled and Ginny hugged him again. "If he makes you this happy, then I'm quite alright with it. I would like to meet this new Draco, the one without all the Malfoy stress."
"Me too, Harry. If you say he's different than I can get behind it. Try to help with Molly as well."
Harry smiled a bit. "Thank you, both of you. We just thought you should hear it from me."
Ginny nodded and they all jumped when they heard a cough. They turned to see the matriarch of the family grinning at them and Ginny hastily let go of Harry. Neville whispered a good luck as Ginny pulled him away to greet the other two guests. Harry stood, not sure how to act when he saw Luna walk in. He smiled as she came up to give him a hug.
"Hello, Harry."
"Luna, I thought you were traveling."
"Rolf needed to come home, his grandfather isn't doing well. It's good to see you, though."
He smiled. "You as well."
He followed her outside so he could greet everyone and sat next to Fred. The twins were exchanging prank stories with Remus and Sirius, causing everyone to laugh at the antics each group got into while at Hogwarts. Harry missed this, the fellowship with the family. They only thing missing was Ron, Hermione, and Draco.
"Harry, could you help a moment.'
Harry turned to Molly, who was at the backdoor, and nodded. He got up and went into the kitchen to help bring out some bowls of food. Some of the others followed him. As he was putting the last bowl on the table, Molly pulled him over.
"So you and Ginny looked to be doing better. But Harry, I'm over that. I'm sorry it took a few weeks. I did invite Luna, she's a sweet girl and I do remember you mentioning blondes."
Harry rolled his eyes. "Not Luna, she's with Rolf Scamander, Molly. I also happened to mention blokes in that argument."
"Now Harry. I know you didn't grow up in this world, not totally. You have to understand the importance of having children to carry your name. You poor parents weren't able to teach you, so I can. Sirius and Remus won't because they obviously have different views. Harry, you need to have a wife. A woman can bear you children. No man can do that, you have to wake up. No man, Harry. I won't allow it."
Harry stood there, feeling the air leave him. She would never be alright with a man, let alone Draco. Harry could feel his heart constrict as the mere thought of the blonde man not being with him surrounded him. He could feel the dizziness surround him. He need to get out, get away. He could see Molly's concern, but Harry didn't care, he apparated.
Remus watched the whole exchange and when Harry popped way, he lost it. He got up, not noticing Sirius watching him. He walked over to Molly and stopped.
"What is with you? There are things you don't understand. Things you will never understand. I heard everything you said to my son. Everything, Molly. You don't know half of what you're talking about. Harry won't be back, you just lost him."
"He isn't yours, Remus. You and Sirius need to teach him. He's not yours. He's James and Lily's. They are gone and a mother needs to show him, a father needs to guide him. Arthur and I can do that."
Remus saw Sirius get up and growled at him. Sirius raised his hands and sat back down, knowing his mate was about to lose it. He leaned back, folded his arms, smiling. He just hoped Harry wasn't upset with his father when they found him. He watched as Remus got closer to Molly, they all did as the old professor wasn't known to lose his temper, that was his partner's reputation after all.
"James Potter was a bearer. Sirius and I both engaged in certain activities with him, Lily was barren, and Harry is my cub...my son. Harry knows, Harry's ok with it. He has a father to guide him, has a godfather to help him with the pureblood shit. You don't know anything. Stay away from my son, or so help me I won't hold Moony back anymore. That part already hates you and it's taking everything in me not to hurt you right now. Come Padfoot, now."
There was no asking in the statement and Sirius knew it. He also knew that Remus knew where Harry was, and it wasn't the cottage. They had only seen this situation once, well Harry's reaction, and it was on James. It was also something that Remus and he were going to have to tell the Malfoys, well Draco. Remus would be better at it.
"Good day, this was fun." Sirius stated, smirking at Molly as he walked by. He knew what it took his mate not to touch that woman. He was also walking away, gleefully, since he wasn't going to have to come to this blasted place anymore.
"Moony…"
Remus knew what he was asking and took his hand. Remus let the other man pull him in an embrace before apparating them away. Sirius looked up and saw the front lawn of Malfoy's home.
"He's here."
Remus nodded. "Now, they haven't progressed that fast. Sirius, you saw James with Lily the whole time at Hogwarts. He was always different with her. Always the more submissive one. It's the gene. I know because he found it in a journal. I didn't think Harry would be though, not with the way he grew up. But, seeing that look. He's already that dependent on Draco, Draco will be as well if I'm right."
Sirius nodded. "Lucius will want to know."
Remus nodded. "And He will make an oath or I will hurt him. I will also tell Harry I blurted it out at the Burrow."
Sirius nodded and let Remus lead him up the stairs to the Malfoys.
