Chapter thirteen

Harry sent his letters to Minerva McGonagall and Kingsley Shacklebolt. He explained in both that he wished to hold a press conference and would need a large area to hold it in. So first they needed an idea about that and Harry asked if Kingsley would be able to set it up for two weeks from Saturday. After Harry and Draco fed Evan again, they had dinner with Narcissa and Severus before the little Malfoy-Potter family headed up to their room. But neither Harry nor Draco wanted Evan away from them just yet, so the moved the cot into their bedroom so they could keep an eye on him through the night.

The moment Harry, holding Evan and Draco went down for breakfast, Narcissa handed Harry two letters. So Evan was handed to Draco while Harry read his letters.

'McGonagall offered to use the grounds of Hogwarts and she's called us brave, noble and gallant,' Harry chuckled, 'She loves old fashioned words.'

'The grounds will be big enough for this. What's the other letter, the minister?' Draco asked.

Harry started reading, 'Dear Harry, I'm please to finally hear from you. Yes I can set up a press conference for you and Minerva contacted me about using Hogwarts. I have no idea why you left, why you're back and why you want to do this. I did ask Minerva but she refused to say, all she did say was that you were going to shock the magical world, but it was something that needs to be done. I will have to put a notice in the Daily Prophet to announcing this press conference, so being Harry Potter the saviour of the wizarding world, expect there to be thousands of people, hope you're ready for that my young friend. Every day I get letters asking where you are, they send them to me as they do know we are friends. So at least now that might ease once I let it be known you are ready to tell your story. If anything changes please let me know otherwise I will see you there on the day. Your friend Kingsley Shacklebolt, minister for magic,' Harry smiled, 'I knew he'd be wondering what was going on.'

'Once it's know about you, then us, do you think he will Harry?'

'Normally yeah, I think he would, but he is minister and he's doing a good job. If people don't like this, then Kingsley might find himself being removed from his job. So I'm hoping he doesn't say anything, not yet. Let him prove to the people that he deserves this job because he can do it, he shouldn't get kicked out for his beliefs.'

'You know all your friends are going to be there and some are not going to be happy.'

'I know, but as I told you, they didn't really know me, no one did. So hopefully once I explain everything it might go easier. But you know it doesn't concern me Dra, you're my life, you, Evan, Narcissa and Severus are my family, that's what I want. If they can't accept me as I am or the truth, that's their problem. Dumbledore did say if I ever decided to tell them they might be upset, but it's not like I forced them to be my friend or support me, that was their decision.'

'We know and we are family, they will see it and either accept it or they don't. We know what might happen, but we have each other, we have Evan, we have mother and Severus, we also have McGonagall and I'm sure there will be others. So let's try to relax over the next two weeks while we can.'

'We could organise to have our house built while we're waiting, as long as they don't see me, it should be fine for the builders to start work, especially since you already had plans Drawn up,' Harry gave Draco a cheeky smile.

'Lucky you like my plans. I could contact them, but you will need to keep your hair blond while their here and do what Severus said, put a glamour over your scar. That scar is like a beacon flashing this is Harry Potter.'

Harry slapped Draco's arm, 'I know, you've told me a dozen times. Do you think I haven't heard you?'

'Just saying Harry, but if you think about it, you never did pay attention in class.'

'Thanks a lot, I had Voldemort trying to kill me all the time, what else was I going to be concentrating on, a potion to get rid of boils.'

'Okay stop now before you two end up in a real fight. It's fine to have fun and wind each other up, but you go too far sometimes,' Severus said.

'We're still getting to know each other, but it's fun,' Draco smirked, 'Harry's too easy to wind up, he's too sensitive.'

Harry shrugged, 'Maybe, but you are to about certain things, do you want me to say what they are, right now in front of your mother and godfather.'

'No,' Draco scowled making Narcissa and Severus laugh, 'You do Potter and you will find yourself cuddling up by yourself of a night.'

Harry chuckled then put his arms around Draco, 'Don't pout, it turns me on and I can't do anything yet.'

Draco couldn't help smiling, 'Fine, but behave will you.'

'I always do, I'm the good Gryffindor remember.'

'Oh now you're being a smart arse and don't say it,' Draco shook his head in amusement.

'I don't need to, you know it already.'

'Let's just eat breakfast, mother would you like your grandson since you've obviously finished eating.'

'Naturally I would,' Narcissa took Evan into her arms and left the room with Severus, 'Those two, I'm not sure how they are going to go Sev.'

'I don't either Cissy, but they do usually end up talking about sex. Maybe that's how they will make it, have their fights, arguments, then make up sex. They might have gone through a war, but they are still young, sometimes they act like little boys.'

'Yes, but you have to admit it's amusing to watch.'

'It is, but after teaching for years, the last thing I want to do is listen to is young boys bickering all the time, even in fun.'

'Let's forget them for a while Sev, we're alone with Evan, let's enjoy our time together.'

'You're right Cissy,' Severus sat down beside Narcissa and they both watched Evan sleep, but they heard the footsteps of Draco and Harry heading upstairs. They knew Harry could not do anything right now, but that didn't mean they wouldn't get inventive.
