I could be making a huge mistake, but he was worth the risk. I couldn't say the exact time I first realised that I loved Draco Malfoy. Only that I knew I would never fall out of love with him. I knew that I loved every strand of platinum blond hair on his head, every inch of his creamy flesh. I knew that I loved the very bones of him. But to tell him so was to speak a secret I swore I would take to my grave.
"Scorpius, it's Mr Potter." I knocked on the boy's door. He opened it. "Scorpius your father needs to go to the hospital, he's very sick. I want you to pack up some stuff cause you're coming to stay with me for a while."
"What's wrong with him?"
"No Harry, I'll tell him." Draco murmured smiling at me. "I have cancer, I didn't know how to tell you and I was refusing treatment because I didn't want you to see me in such a state but Mister Pot- no Harry has convinced me to take the treatment and promised to look after you until school starts up again. I will be fine kid. Now go on pack up. All your best clothes since you'll be staying with Allie." He winked.
"Dad." Scorpius hissed turning red.
"Like I care. As long as the two of you don't break the law under my roof, I couldn't care less." I smiled at my son's best friend.
"The letter," Draco whispered. "Did you mean all of that, about loving me, and stuff."
"I told you Draco stay alive long enough for me to prove it."
"And in terms of the life debt. I don't fuck people I'm not seeing, engaged or married to."
"Well I think I know what I'm asking for, but it can wait until I'm divorced and you're healthy." I put my arm around his shoulder. "It might rhyme with, pour sand in carriage."
"Shhhh. Don't be silly Harry. You've not even filed for divorce yet."
"That's easily arranged."
"Without your lawyer?"
"A wise man once told me to never fuck my lawyer. Since I simply must fuck you, step in to my office."
"Why?" He looked at me puzzled.
"Cause you're fucking fired." I winked at him.
