A/N: Alright here is the next chapter! I'm so sorry to have made you guys wait with that cliffhanger. I've actually had this planned since I posted the last one, but I've been rather busy and I busted my finger on Wednesday which made it rather hard to type, but here it is. My finger is much better. I hope you all enjoy this chapter, I know I did ;). It is pure fluff and a ton of smut at the end. Let me know what you think! Oh and I just realized that there is probably only a few more chapters left for this story :(
Chapter 11
The beeping in the room was loud and Draco felt his world collapsing around him again. Harry had flat lined and so had Teddy. The two girls were staring wide eyed at the mass of healers that were tending to the three boys. Scorpius's heart rate had slowed dramatically. Draco had to get out. He couldn't be there when everyone he loved died. He ran from the room, down the hallway, and to an outdoor, enclosed garden. He shoved several people out of his way one being Hermione who stared after him in shock. She ran into the room shoving several mediwizards and witches from Harry's bedside. She glanced over at a now stabilized Teddy and the stronger pulse of Scorpius. Harry's monitor was the only beep being heard.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER DON'T YOU DARE DIE!" Hermione screamed. She clutched his arms tightly and stared intently into his closed eyes. The beeping stopped and became a calm beep, beep that everyone in the same situation longed to hear. He had stabilized. She sighed in relief and sank into the vacant seat next to his bed. Scorpius had awoken in all the ruckus and he looked around for a moment his eyes settling on Jade. He smiled at her.
"Hey beautiful," He whispered.
She had tears streaming down her face and a wide smile. "Oh you're awake! Are you okay? Do you need anything?" She asked.
"Just you," Scorpius whispered back. She grinned widely and leaned down to kiss Scorpius hard on the lips. His eyes widened, but closed letting himself become lost in her kiss. He never expected his first kiss to go like this, but he wasn't about to complain even if Jade made the first move.
Teddy stirred next to Sophia. She stood and clutched his hand as he awoke. She sighed in relief and smiled down at him. His golden eyes took in the sight of her and he smiled his hair changing to a happy yellow before going back to his normal teal color. She grinned even wider.
"Hey you. You gave us all quite a fright," Sophia commented.
"Sorry about that. I was having a much needed talk with my Dad," Teddy commented.
She looked over at Harry who was still unconscious and then looked back at Teddy. "He's still unconscious. How did you talk to him?" She questioned.
Teddy closed his eyes for a moment realizing he probably sounded crazy. "Sorry. I'll explain some other time. Listen, Sophia there is something I've been meaning to tell you for a really long time," he said quietly.
She looked down at him before sitting looking slightly nervous. "Okay, what is it?" She asked.
"Sophia, I'm in love with you. I have been for a really long time and I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to tell you. I hope I'm not too late," Teddy told her.
Scorpius and Jade broke apart and looked over at the two in shock waiting to see how Sophia would react. Sophia stared at him in complete shock. She didn't move or utter a word. Teddy looked away suddenly feeling very nervous. She wasn't responding. Oh, Merlin, I've said too much. I should have just gone with I like you a whole lot or something. Shit. When he looked back he saw that Sophia's shoulders were shaking and she began crying. Teddy's eyes widened in worry and confusion at her display of emotion. Jade and Scorpius looked on just as confused. Then Sophia leapt up from the chair and pounced on Teddy earning a groan from him for her weight on his still healing body. She had her arms wrapped tightly around his shoulders as she sobbed. Hermione looked up in alarm and realized that Teddy was okay and only in slight pain.
"Oh Teddy! I've waited so long to hear you tell me that!" She cried through her sobs. Jade and Scorpius grinned and glanced at each other. Teddy looked surprised at her words.
"Do…Do you feel the same?" Teddy asked tentatively. Scorpius rolled his eyes fighting the urge to smack his brother upside the head.
Sophia sat back and got off of him a huge smile on her face. "Of course I do! Would I be here and crying all over you if I didn't?" She replied as she hugged him again. He hugged her back and buried his face in her shoulder. He looked over her shoulder to see Harry still unconscious. He quirked an eyebrow.
"Where is Draco?" Teddy asked.
Sophia sat back and looked over at Harry still clutching Teddy's hand. Jade and Scorpius did the same.
"He ran out of here when you three started having complications. I think this is too much for him to handle," Hermione replied.
"Why isn't Dad waking up?" Teddy demanded.
"Teddy, he is still healing. He'll wake up when he's ready," Hermione assured him as she approached his bed.
"But he said he was ready to wake up. He's got to ask Draco to marry him! He told me he was going to wake up!" Teddy exclaimed trying to sit up. Sophia put a restraining hand on his shoulder.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. How could you possibly have talked to Harry? He's been unconscious this entire time," Hermione said in confusion.
"No! We talked just a little bit ago before I woke up. Scorpius, you were there at the end. Tell her!" Teddy cried becoming more frantic. Scorpius looked at him peculiarly and furrowed his brow in thought.
"I vaguely remember talking to you both, but I thought it was just a dream," Scorpius said.
"It wasn't a dream. We talked right over there between our beds. Why isn't he waking up?" Teddy demanded again.
"Let me go get Draco, maybe that'll help," Hermione offered still looking bewildered. She left the room quickly and found Draco sitting down on a bench in the garden area his head resting in his hands tears visibly streaming down his cheeks and falling to the floor.
"Draco," Hermione said tentatively.
"Just tell me Hermione. Don't sugar coat it. Tell me that Harry is dead and so is Teddy and Scorpius. Just tell me," Draco begged in a shaky voice.
"I can't tell you that," Hermione began.
"Tell me!" He yelled his head shooting up and glaring angrily at her. She jumped slightly and stared back at him.
"I can't tell you that because they aren't dead. Scorpius and Teddy are awake and I think Harry is waiting for you to get in there before he wakes up," Hermione said quietly.
Draco stared at her for several moments before he stood and walked quickly back to his boys' room. He walked in to see Scorpius and Teddy talking quietly with the two girls that had been there for awhile. Draco glanced over at Harry before turning to look at Scorpius again. Jade stepped aside so that Draco could come closer. Scorpius smiled at him and Draco grinned and wrapped his arms around him. He stood back and did the same to Teddy and then he slowly approached Harry's bedside. He grabbed his hand and leaned down really close placing a gentle kiss to his lips.
"Harry, please wake up love. The boys are awake, now it's your turn," Draco whispered.
Hermione stood in the doorway watching them. Harry began stirring and Hermione found herself wringing her hands in front of her as she waited for Harry to wake up. He continued to stir and finally his eyes fluttered open. She sighed in relief and continued to watch. Harry's eyes flicked around the room for a moment and then finally they settled on Draco's smiling face.
"Hey," Draco whispered as he looked down at him.
"Marry me," Harry whispered hoarsely.
Draco stared at him with wide eyes. "Excuse me?"
"Marry me," Harry said a bit louder.
He stood back slightly and closed his eyes for a moment. He couldn't have heard him correctly. He's thinking nonsense. He doesn't want to marry me. He must be dreaming or something. He doesn't want this.
"Harry you don't know what you're saying," Draco began.
Harry narrowed his gaze slightly. "Marry me Draco," He repeated with a bit more heat.
Draco stared at the determined look in his face. "Okay, I'll marry you," He replied finally. Harry grinned at him and pulled Draco in for a kiss. We'll see if he remembers this later. Draco thought as he kissed him back.
The door to their room opened and a furious Ron stepped in. "I hate to break all this up and ruin whatever moment you two are having, but Carikove escaped," He said angrily.
Everyone, but Harry gasped and looked at each other fearfully. Harry on the other hand was completely calm. Draco gave him a bewildered look.
"How can you be so calm?" He demanded.
"It doesn't matter. His magic has been drained. He won't last very long. I'm not going to let him ruin my life anymore. He's done enough. I'm moving forward," Harry replied.
"Harry! He killed someone to get away!" Ron cried.
Harry nodded. "I'm sorry about that Ron, but you will find him again and he will spend the rest of his pitiful life in Azkaban. He is not my concern anymore. My focus is for my family," Harry replied.
Ron stared at him as did everyone else in the room. They were all thinking the same thing. Did a screw get knocked loose while he was unconscious?

A month later, Harry, Teddy, and Scorpius were fully recovered. They were back at Hogwarts and loving it. Scorpius and Jade as well as Sophia and Teddy were happily still together and inseparable. The twins were enjoying the classes they had and loved being at Hogwarts. Everything in life was getting back to normal. They still hadn't found Carikove, but Harry kept his word and didn't concern himself over him. He focused on his family and his career. His magic was back and he was finally feeling normal. He felt like Harry James Potter again and that made him very happy. Draco still didn't believe that Harry wanted to marry him, but continued to go along with it.
Harry sat in his office during lunch one day. A knock at his door drew his attention and he waved his hand opening the door. Teddy walked in with a grin on his face.
"Hello son, you've managed to separate yourself from Sophia for a few moments?" Harry teased.
Teddy blushed. "There is some sort of crisis with a dorm mate of hers that involves a guy being a git and well, I'm a guy, thus I'm the enemy at the moment."
Harry chuckled and nodded in agreement. He was tapping his finger on a small black box that was sitting on the desk in front of him. He opened it and stared down at the intricate band that had swirls of two different platinum shades. Along the sides were channel black diamonds and in the very center was a small princess cut diamond. It was a beautiful ring. Teddy walked over and glanced down at the ring. Harry pushed it towards him and he studied it closely.
"Draco is going to love this," Teddy commented.
"Yeah. I can't believe he still thinks I don't want to marry him," Harry replied with a smirk.
"How did you know that he doesn't believe it?" Teddy asked.
Harry laughed. "Draco likes to think he hides his emotions well, but every time I mention working out some wedding details I can see the disbelief in his eyes, but after tonight he will know I'm serious," Harry said with a wistful smile as he looked down at the ring again.
"Where are you guys heading?" Teddy asked.
"I'm taking him to Paris tonight. I know it's a Hogsmeade weekend, but McGonagall gave us permission to leave. There will be a few extra patrols of aurors in Hogsmeade so I'm not worried about leaving. Promise me you'll stay safe though, all of you," Harry said in a serious tone.
"Don't worry Dad. We'll keep an eye out and be on our toes. You and Draco need this. Go and have fun," Teddy said.
Harry nodded and stood. He walked around and pulled Teddy into a hug, holding him a bit longer than usual. He let him go and smiled at him again before he turned and left the room leaving Harry feeling a bit nervous. He shook it off as just being nervous about leaving the kids behind for the first time since the accident, but Harry and Draco needed this night. Things were different and they had not had anytime alone. The twins were staying with Andromeda and Narcissa and of course Teddy and Scorpius would be at Hogwarts so they were all going to be just fine. Draco had no clue that they were going to Paris tonight and Harry was looking forward to surprising him.
He left his office with the ring in hand. He walked into his bed chamber and changed into black dress slacks with a green collared shirt rolled up to his elbows. The first three buttons were undone showing the beginning of his perfectly sculpted chest. He grinned at his appearance knowing that Draco would melt the second he saw him. He shrunk the ring box and placed it in his pocket and headed to the Great Hall to round up Draco.
When he arrived he found Draco sitting up at the staff table having a heated discussion with Neville. Harry grinned and walked over standing in front of him. Neville saw him first and raised an eyebrow sitting back in his seat. Draco turned to look and his mouth immediately went dry and dropped open as he looked down at Harry. He gulped and shifted immediately trying to quell his burgeoning erection. Harry grinned.
"Potter, what do you think you're doing?" Draco whispered harshly.
Harry continued to grin. "Come on. We're going somewhere. Let's go," He replied.
Draco's eyes widened. "It's a Hogsmeade weekend. We can't go anywhere," Draco replied angrily his mouth beginning to salivate when Harry pulled his shirt to the side slightly exposing more of his chest and his neck.
"Professor Malfoy, Professor Potter as already gotten your time off approved. Go with him. It's fine. As a matter of fact I insist on it," McGonagall explained jumping into the conversation.
Draco looked at her and then out to Teddy and Scorpius who were watching the exchange. They both grinned and gave him an assuring thumbs up. He looked back to Harry and felt his need to be alone with him burning and he looked so hot at that moment. He stood casually pulling his robe out and turned away to walk over to his oldest boys.
"Apparently, Harry and I are going somewhere so we'll see you later. Be careful today and keep an eye out," Draco said as soon as he reached them.
"Of course Dad," Scorpius said. He pulled Draco into a one armed hug and he pulled Teddy in as well.
"We love you," Harry said in a low voice. Both boys blushed slightly and nodded.
"We love you too," Teddy replied. Harry and Draco nodded as did the boys and then Draco turned to follow Harry out of the Great Hall. Harry walked all the way back to his office neither one uttering a word to one another. When they arrived Harry walked in and closed the door behind him.
"Alright, where are-" Draco started, but he was interrupted when Harry pushed him against the wall and kissed him passionately. He let out a squeak at the pure heat that Harry was sending with his kiss. He closed his eyes in bliss and immediately felt at ease. Harry broke away and took a few steps back looking at him through heavily lidded eyes.
"You can't possibly wear that where we are going love," Harry said as he waved his hand. Draco's clothes and robe were immediately replaced with dark gray slacks and a shiny navy blue button up shirt that made his eyes pop. "Much better," Harry said as he ran his tongue over his lips. Draco's eyes widened in surprise. He grabbed Draco's hand and pulled him over to the fireplace. He threw down some floo powder and called out their destination before Draco could ask anymore questions.
After several minutes they tumbled out of the fireplace in a private room at an upscale hotel. Draco stood and brushed his clothes off and looked around. He absently helped Harry up and then made his way towards the window.
"Where are we?" Draco asked.
Harry watched the curious expression on Draco's face and snapped his fingers. The curtains slowly opened revealing the Eiffel Tower and all of Paris. Draco's mouth dropped open in surprise. Harry approached and wrapped his arms around his waist resting his chin on his shoulder. "We're in Paris love. Is this okay?" He asked.
"This is more than okay. This is brilliant. Thank you," Draco said quietly as he turned his body to face Harry. He leaned down and kissed him gently slowly increasing the pace. Harry brought his hands up into Draco's hair running his fingers through it as the increased the pressure. Draco started to push Harry towards the bed, but he planted his feet and didn't move. Draco broke away and looked at him peculiarly.
"As much as I'd love to make love to all day and night here, I have other plans first. I promise you won't regret waiting," Harry assured him with a sly smile.
"Alright, fine. What do you have planned?" Draco asked as he placed some gentle kisses on Harry's cheeks and neck. Harry moaned quietly almost breaking his resolve to wait to ravage him.
"Well, I was thinking an early dinner at a fantastic restaurant," Harry began.
Draco kissed his lips gently as he moved to the other cheek. "Mmm, that sounds good."
"And then I was thinking we could go to the Eiffel Tower and go all the way to the top," Harry continued.
"Of course," Draco said as he made his way down Harry's cheek and to his neck. He pressed his body against Harry, their groins touching lightly. Both boys let out satisfied groans.
"Did I mention before dinner that I'm taking you shopping?" Harry asked. He grinned when he felt Draco pause.
"Shopping?" He asked excitedly as he stepped back to look at him.
"Yes shopping," Harry replied with a grin.
"But you hate shopping," Draco said in confusion.
"But you love it and this trip is all about you babe," Harry said with a wink.
Draco's confused looked turned into utter excitement. "Well, what are we waiting for let's go!" He exclaimed as he kissed Harry quickly and made haste for the door.

After a few hours of grueling shopping a very satisfied Draco and an extremely exhausted Harry made their way to the Eiffel Tower. They had just finished a wonderful dinner and were now walking hand in hand towards their next destination. It was a warm and clear night and Harry couldn't have asked for better conditions for what he had planned next. He felt himself begin to get nervous. He had been talking about marrying Draco for a long time now, but he didn't realize he'd have butterflies when it came to the point of actually asking him.
They had arrived at the tower and Draco craned his neck to look up to the very top. Harry fingered the box in his pocket and pulled it out. He squeezed Draco's hand and watched as Draco turned to look at him, his silver eyes sparkling brightly. The contentment on his face made Harry sigh involuntarily.
"Are you alright?" Draco asked looking slightly concerned.
Harry gulped and felt his face heat up. "Yes, yes, I'm… I'm fine," He stuttered. Draco turned to him fully and brought his hand to his face.
"Harry, thank you so much for today. This is the best day I've had in years. I love you," He said. He leaned down and kissed him. Harry got lost in the kiss for several moments. They finally broke apart for some much needed air.
"I love you too Draco. Listen, there is one more thing that we need to do before we head back to the hotel," Harry began.
Draco quirked an eyebrow in confusion. "What's that?"
Harry took a deep breath and knelt down to one knee. Draco's eyes widened to the size of saucers. A flush appeared on his face and he found himself suddenly becoming weak in the knees. He took several deep breaths to calm his nerves. Harry looked as nervous as he felt.
"Draco, I wasn't kidding or out of my mind when I asked you to marry me when I woke up. I want to marry you. I've wanted to marry you since the day we kissed for the first time. I've been so consumed by the way I felt about myself and I didn't stop to think about you and what you were giving up. I know you've been waiting for me to ask you for years and I can't believe it's taken me so long to do it. I love you so much and I am so happy to have you in my life. You have given me so much. You've given me two beautiful children. You've given me a son to go along with the one I already had. You've given me love and support for six years. You've given me everything in your life and I am so grateful. I can't imagine living the rest of my life without you. Draco Malfoy, will you do me the honor of marrying me?" Harry proposed as he opened the box revealing the ring.
Draco stared at him tears streaming down his face. His eyes settled momentarily on the ring and his knees finally gave out as he kneeled in front of Harry. Harry pulled the ring from the box and placed it tentatively at the beginning of his left ring finger. A huge grin came across his face as he looked back up at Harry.
"Yes! Yes of course I'll marry you!" Draco cried. Harry smiled broadly as he slipped the ring on his finger. A soft light shimmered around the ring as it found its place on his finger. He threw his arms around Harry and peppered him with kisses. "I love you so much!" He cried again. He wrapped his arms around Harry and suddenly they were no longer at the base of the Eiffel Tower, going to the top completely forgotten. They landed on the bed in their hotel room.
They both let out an excited moan as they began kissing each other passionately. Draco's fingers made quick work on Harry's shirt. He unbuttoned it within seconds pulling it apart and over his shoulders. His lips left Harry's and he began a heated trail of kisses down his chest flicking his tongue over each nipple earning a groan from Harry. Draco moved back up to Harry's lips and Harry took the opportunity to remove the offending garment that was Draco's shirt. He slipped it over his shoulders and marveled at the hotness that was Draco's sculpted abs and chest. His eyes widened momentarily and then locked on the molten silver eyes that belonged to his fiancé.
Draco made fast work of removing Harry's shirt and tossed it away. He pushed him back against the pillows and began sucking away on his neck soothing each suck with a lick. Harry bucked his hips into Draco's groin. He moved down from Harry's neck and began kissing his chest and fiddling with his belt. Within seconds he was sliding Harry's pants down his hips following the movement with sensual kisses down his inner thigh and his calf. Harry arched his back in need. Draco returned to his throbbing erection that was begging to be let out of its confinement. He pulled his boxers off in one fluid motion leaving Harry completely naked and basking in the moonlight that was filtering through the window.
Draco sat back and stared down at his panting lover and now fiancé. The look in his eyes was full of need and desire and love. "Gods Harry, you are absolutely stunning."
Harry grinned and shifted slightly causing Draco's eyes to darken. He pounced on him then and engulfed his hard cock in his mouth causing Harry to let out a powerful groan. Draco looked up into his burning emerald eyes and began fast work of driving Harry crazy. He licked, sucked and nibbled making Harry squirm beneath him. He could taste the precum and felt his own pulsating cock bursting to be let out of its cage. Draco reached down to get out of his pants and boxers, but found that they were already gone and he was completely naked as well. He didn't even feel Harry remove them. He looked up in astonishment and Harry merely grinned and then he lowered his gaze to look at the beauty that could only be Draco's.
Draco smirked and lied down on top of him capturing his lips in a heated kiss. Harry gripped his arse and flipped him over, reversing their position. Draco let out a surprised gasp that was soon quieted by Harry's tongue.
"Stop torturing me," Draco breathed.
"You don't like torture?" Harry taunted. Draco's eyes snapped open and he narrowed his gaze. He slapped Harry hard on the arse which caused Harry to let out a moan that was all pleasure and no pain. Draco flipped their positions again and thrust his hips hard against Harry. His lips left Harry's and found their way securely around his leaking cock again.
Draco snapped his fingers automatically lubing up his fingers and Harry's entrance. Harry let out a groan as Draco slowly slid in one finger and continued sucking him in earnest. He slid in another finger and Harry found himself ready to burst.
"Draco, I'm going to cum," He murmured feeling his body tense as it awaited his orgasm.
"No, not yet love," Draco whispered as he thrust another finger in effectively hitting Harry's pleasure spot. He let out a cry and bucked his hips. Remarkably he didn't cum. Draco trailed light kisses all the way up Harry's chest and to his lips as he moved to his side. He wrapped his arms around Harry's stomach and positioned himself at Harry's entrance. He pressed feather light kisses to his back as he slowly entered into him. His hand slid down Harry's side slowly barely skimming it as he began fisting Harry's erection. He began pulling in and out of Harry who was pushing his hips back in sync with Draco's moves.
"Oh Gods, Draco, you're amazing," Harry breathed as he turned his head and his lips met Draco's. Suddenly Draco picked up the pace of his thrusting and increased the kiss and his fisting. His mind became clouded with the need to orgasm. He broke away and let out a cry of absolute pleasure and he came hard and fast, Harry following right behind with his own cries. Both cried out each other's names until they became barely a whisper as they came down from their high.
Draco kept Harry firmly in place as their breathing went back to normal. He slowly slipped out and he lazily waved his hand cleaning up the mess that they had made. Harry waved his hand and the blankets pulled out from under them and covered them in softness.
"You're the amazing one," Draco breathed as he kissed the back of Harry's neck.
"Thank you for saying yes," Harry whispered.
"Thank you for asking," Draco replied.
"I love you," Harry whispered before his eyes closed fully and sleep worked its way into his mind.
"I love you too," Draco replied as he drifted off to sleep in complete bliss.
A/N: Okay so what did you guys think of the smut and especially the proposal??? Hope you enjoyed it!
