Chapter eleven

Over the next week and after a lot of discussions on what the three men expected and wanted out of their life together, Harry contacted Kingsley so he could perform the wedding ceremony, but he also bought the documents that Harry would need to fill out, sign to make it binding but Severus and Draco would need to sign so their agreement would be legal. Harry had Kingsley check the binding contract between the three men and once Kingsley knew Harry, Severus and Draco had worked out what they wanted and what they agreed on, Kingsley married first Harry to Severus then Harry to Draco. He admitted to be surprised that Severus would marry Harry but also be the first to have a child. As Severus explained, he was older and he did want children where Draco wished to work for a few years, Severus would not be returning to work until after the child was born and not until the child was a few months old. Since Hogwarts was so badly damaged it was going to take more than a year to repair so having a child now worked for Severus and for Harry.

Severus had prepared the potion he would need, he took his first dose the morning of his wedding and would need his second dose right before consummating the marriage. Draco decided to give Harry and Severus this night alone so he went to see his mother and spend the night with her, he also needed to explain what was going on.

It only took a week before it was confirmed that Severus was pregnant. Harry and Draco saw a great change in Severus at this time, but Harry also admitted that he was excited about being a parent. Something else Harry liked about this, he always thought the name Potter would end with him, but as Harry was Lord Potter, Severus and Draco would take the name Potter but Harry agreed that they could have Severus Potter Snape, Draco Potter Malfoy, but the children would be a combination of the names, Snape-Potter, Malfoy-Potter. All Severus asked was if he had a son that it would not be called James or Sirius, but he would agree to those names being used as middle names which Harry agreed.

One thing the three men did was move into a larger house, but Severus kept his home for times he wanted to be alone. Draco decided to buy a house for himself so when he wanted time alone he could go to his home, Harry wanted to stay in his new big home as it had everything he wanted. It was a large two story country home with three living areas, a large kitchen, small dining room attached to the kitchen but a large dining room next to that. It also had five bedrooms, a library, an office, an indoor pool at the back of the house, an outdoor pool for the warmer weather and a large conservatory off the back of the house. There were also a few other rooms Harry wasn't sure what they were used for, so they decided that Harry would have the main office for himself, Severus would have an office that would also have enough room to set up a large potions room and store cupboard for ingredients. Draco also had a room he could set up for his own office. Harry, Severus and Draco discussed a place for Charlie Weasley to live after the wedding, but because he would also be having a child, they didn't want him too far away, so they had another smaller cottage built away from the main house and they only did that because Harry, Draco and Severus were not sure if they would get on with Charlie Weasley. Harry liked him and they did get on well but he wasn't sure how the second eldest Weasley would take to the news that he had to marry Harry and have a child but could not have any type of relationship with anyone other than Harry unless Harry allowed it. That was something Harry still hadn't decided on yet, it all came down to how the Weasley's handled this bit of news.

During this time, they never told anyone they were married, not even Ron or Hermione who visited quite a lot, one time Ginny even came with them but she seemed frustrated that she could never get Harry alone even after asking him outright for a private word. Harry explained that he had to stay in the presence of either Severus or Draco as they helped him control his power, so even though it was technically a lie, it was also partly the truth.

Harry was swimming the length of the pool with Draco beside him. Draco had taken it upon himself to teach Harry to swim but always stayed close until Harry felt comfortable in deep water.

'Harry, Draco,' Severus called.

The two young men looked up at Severus who was holding an envelope, so they climbed out of the pool and put their robes on that they had bought especially for after they had a swim.

'It's addressed to you but on the back has Molly Weasley's name on it,' Severus held out the envelope to Harry.

'Do you think this is it, she wants to meet about this marriage?'

'You're birthday is only two weeks away, I'm surprised she waited this long,' Draco said.

'Actually I believe she did this deliberately. The closer to your birthday it was would have meant you could not find a way out of the marriage.'

'I wouldn't have if Kingsley hadn't told me and that we weren't involved,' Harry opened his letter and read, 'Dear Harry, there is something I need to discuss with you, it's extremely important. Could you make it to dinner tomorrow night at the Burrow, please send Pig back with your answer, Molly Weasley,' Harry looked up at his husbands, 'You're both going to come with me, aren't you?'

'Yes, this involves us as well Harry, we are your husbands,' Severus said.

'I want to see their faces,' Draco smirked.

'They are very nice people Draco, I just think Molly Weasley went a bit too far. It's like what Kingsley said, maybe being offered anything was just too tempting. The Weasley family never did have a lot, but they had a lot of love and they were happy. I always enjoyed staying at the Burrow even with Mrs. Weasley's fussy over me.'

'She tried to mother you, probably so you could see what a family life with the Weasley's would be like. You better answer her, let her know that we'll be there then you have to let the minister know,' Severus said.

'Okay, I'll do that now.'

'Then dinner should be ready, so you can both shower and change.'

'He likes to play the authority figure, doesn't he Draco?'

Draco laughed, 'I think it's because he's older, he can't help himself.'

'I am older and wiser, so do what you're told or you won't be eating.'

Harry and Draco laughed as they watched Severus leave the pool room, 'I thought he was going to say we won't get sex. Maybe I shouldn't have given him so much freedom.'

'Then he wouldn't have gone along with this, let's get in so you can send her your replay,' Draco and Harry dried off then went into the house, Harry straight to his office with Pig sitting on his shoulder. When Harry sat down the small owl took flight and just kept flying around the room until Harry held out the letter which he took in its beak before flying off.
