Chapter eleven
'So you'll organise to tell everyone tomorrow then be here tomorrow night, right?'
Harry chuckled, 'Yes, I'll be here tomorrow night, then we can work on a day to have everyone over so they can officially meet my partner and the man I love.'
'Okay, well even though I don't want you to go, the faster you do the faster I will have you back with me for good.'
Harry and Draco melted into each other's arms again, kissing with as much love and passion as they could before Harry stepped into the fire to start to explain to everyone about how his life has changed, but definitely for the better.
When Harry stepped out of the fireplace, not just Mr. and Mrs. Weasley sitting there, but Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Charlie, Bill, Fleur, George and Percy were as well. But Angelina Johnson was sitting beside George and Percy had some woman beside him.
'Hi, is there a family meeting going on that I'm disturbing?'
'You are family so if there was, you'd be here Harry. No, we all just want to be here because we all want to know about this mystery person you've been seeing. We want to make sure they are good enough for you,' Arthur gave Harry a smile.
'Must be serious, Harry is sporting one heck of a big love bite on his neck,' Charlie smirked as everyone apart from Ginny laughed, because Harry put his hand to his neck, 'No use covering it now Harry, we've all seen it.'
Harry for some reason felt very playful, 'Yeah, but you haven't seen the rest that I have all over me, I'll be right back,' Harry laughed then ran up the stairs.
'Was that Harry, he wouldn't normally say something like that?' Hermione looked around at everyone.
'When you're in love Hermione, it can make you say and do things you normally wouldn't. We're sorry we pressured you into telling us who this person was, but you stayed silent all the same, showed how loyal you truly are,' Molly gave her a smile.
'I promised and I will never break a promise.'
Everyone stared at Harry as he bounded down the stairs and sat next to Hermione who squeezed his hand.
'You seem in a good mood, so you had a good time then?' Hermione asked.
'I think Harry had more than a good time Hermione,' Charlie said.
'I did, and since we're about to talk about this, I should mention I'm moving out and in with them tomorrow night.'
'Them, are there more than one Harry, got a harem or something?' Charlie raised his eyebrows.
'No Charlie, but I say them for a reason. Now I'm not sure how you all are about this and I've been worried how Ron will act when I tell him.'
'What are you on about Harry?' Ron asked.
'Okay,' Harry felt Hermione squeeze his hand, 'I'm gay and I'm going to be living with a man.'
'Why were you worried to tell me, Charlie's gay and that never bothered me. Merlin I've seen him shove his tongue down a blokes throat.'
Harry stared between Ron then Charlie and saw everyone else looking relaxed and calm. 'All this time I wasn't sure how you were about gay men and one has been here the whole time. Why didn't you tell me before Ron?'
'My doing Harry, I told the family to keep it to themselves. My old boss didn't like gay men and because so many men worked at the reserve if he found out he could have made my life difficult if not just sack me.'
'Oh okay, well now I get it. I'm so use to having to keep thing to myself, I forget other people sometimes do that because they have good reasons to.'
'Exactly, you're not the only person that had to keep secrets. So are you going to tell us who this man is you are going to be living with?' Arthur asked.
'Um, yeah, but I know Ron won't like it even if he's fine with gay men.'
'Now what are you bloody on about Harry?'
'Yes, just tell us who this bloke is,' George said.
'Before I do, are you and Angelina together, hello Angelina,' Harry grinned at his old captain.
'Hi Harry and yes we are, have been for a while.'
'Okay, well you look happy, but Percy, are you going to introduce me to this pretty lady you have with you?'
'You really have opened up, haven't you Harry?' Hermione asked.
'Well yeah, I have.'
'This is Audrey, my girlfriend, Audrey, Harry.'
Harry reached his hand out and shook her hand, 'Nice to meet you.'
'Nice to meet you as well.'
'Okay, introductions over, tell us who this bloke is Harry before I hex you,' Ron said.
'You could try Ron,' Harry chuckled.
'Oh he's gotten cheeky as well, I remember being like that,' Charlie smirked, 'Now tell us before all of us decide to hex you.'
'Alright, well he's not like everyone thought he was. He's very nice, caring, very loving,' Harry made a small growl in the back of his throat as a dreaming look came over Harry's face making everyone laugh, 'Okay, sorry, but it's Draco Malfoy.'
'You've got to be bloody kidding me, the ferret?'
'Ron, I told you how he had to act the part and he wants to invite everyone to our home so they can get to know him properly. Oh and his great aunt was one of the good Blacks and she left that house to Dray. She wasn't like the rest and she knew what Dray was like. So will you just try and see him as he really is Ron, for me, you're best mate?'
Ron glared for a minute, 'Fine, I'll try but if I see that blasted look he used to give me I can't guarantee what I will do.'
'He won't if you just give him a chance. But he wants to meet all our friends properly, like Neville, Luna, Seamus, everyone. So I need to contact them and they'll have to come here to get there as he has his floo blocked, just not to here. We can all go swimming there even if it's snowing. That pool is huge and really warm. So if it's alright with everyone, I said I could organise it for tomorrow?'
'We want to meet him Harry, not just to see what you see in him but to make sure he treats you the way he should.'
'Thanks Mr. Weasley and you'll see he does. We've also planned a little surprise for all of you as well.'
'So did he buy you for this, so you and him will get to know each other?' Bill asked.
'Yeah, he wanted us to get to know each other and he could only do that alone. Like I told Kingsley, he was going to donate that money using a fake name so no one would think he was up to anything. But he heard about the auction and used it to get me to his place, well now our place. He had the deeds changed so my name is on it as well.'
'What where you saying about one of the good Blacks?' Arthur asked.
'Oh the tapestry in Grimmauld Place, it's the Black family tree and Sirius was showing me one day. How his family were related to Dray's family, well and your family, more distance with the Weasley's, were Dra's mother is a cousin to Sirius. Sirius' mother blasted the faces off everyone that were good, like Sirius, all of you, Andromeda, but also the great aunts of Dray, her face was missing, I just can't remember her name. Sirius said if anyone decent came along then his mother would instantly disown them and remove their faces of the tapestry. It was in that room off the main hall, the green door that was always closed. Sirius hated the reminder that's why he kept the door closed.'
'We never saw it and with the door shut, none of us had reason to go in there.'
'So he really had your name added to the deed of his home?' Hermione asked.
'Yeah, when he asked if would move in with him, I was worried that it was his place. So I suggested we buy a place together, that's when he showed me the deeds. You saw roughly how big Malfoy Manor was, well this is big, not that big though. I'd say about half the size. You'll love the library Hermione, it's huge and the shelves go all around the room. There's a full size quidditch pitch with rings and stands, that place has everything. There's also a huge ball room so if we wanted to put on a party, there's plenty of room. I've seen the old piano here, and always wanted to know who played?'
'Well I did when I was young, then I taught Charlie and Bill, Charlie was the only one that kept it up.' Molly said.
'Well Dray plays beautiful and has this huge grand piano in the library. I often sit and listen to him play even if I have no idea what he's playing.'
'It's like you're talking about a completely different person Harry,' George said.
'I know and I knew it was going to be hard for all of you to accept, but once you've seen how he really is, I think you'll realise he's nothing like what you're used to seeing. But the main thing is that he makes me happy, happier than I've ever been before.'
Everyone around the table saw it themselves, they saw how happy and content Harry was. They only hoped that Draco Malfoy was for real and wasn't playing some game with Harry, because they knew Harry would never deal with losing anyone else, even if they never died, but if they betrayed him, it would be worse.
