George to no surprise found Draco still with Harry. He knew his family was going to have to get used to having a Malfoy around. He would be welcome for Harry's sake as the family would do all to cheer Harry up. The couple knew Draco was a good man and his dad as well. George thought when his mum saw the two together she would be even more welcoming. Ron would be an issue but he usually was. He had summoned Kreacher to pack Harry's things including the TV.

Harry paled when he was told the entire family was home. George reminded him they would have all known soon but Harry was just pale at the thought of all together. Draco had been told he would be welcome but he didn't come. He knew it would be over whelming enough with just the family. He promised to come soon though.

Harry eyed the house warily "I'm not sure about this. I get the feeling your mum will lock me up and throw away the key."

George shook his head "She may be reluctant at first but she will loosen up. She will be a bit upset you didn't tell her sooner."

He reminded Harry that Molly was a born mum. She had been worrying about Harry since she first met him. When Bill came down with an adult case of the pox the only thing that kept her from the door to pay for Egypt. As much as Harry seemed unable to trust that he was a son. Hermione was a member of the family by marriage as she had her own. Harry long ago was adopted. And Andromeda and Ted who were also there loved him too.

Harry was surprised when only the two older couples were in the sitting room. He knew the others were some where as Teddy was not with the couple. He had the sense to know they would want him not to feel ambushed. He loved them all but was grateful.

Molly came and kissed him on the head "I have had Kreacher set you up in Ginny's old room. Harry you should have told me. I can't believe you were sick all this time."

Harry knew it was a gentle reproach "I just didn't want to burden you. The war and losing Fred I didn't want to worry you."

Arthur came to him "We aren't trying to make you feel guilty. We just want you to understand how much we love you."

They reminded him how much Fred had loved him. If any thing the loss of Fred was even more reason. They had lost one son and couldn't stand to lose a second. They knew enough to know chemo would get worse before Harry got better. Fred would have been angry with them if they were not there for Harry. Fred would never want to be used as an excuse. He was gone and there was no bringing him back and Harry was the one they could help.

His eyes went to the Tonks. He felt such guilt as he was supposed to be raising Teddy not them. He had let down not only Remus and Teddy but them as well. He allowed the couple to think him some playboy so they would refuse him custody.

Andromeda quieted him when he tried to explain "I should have known. I knew how serious you took your promise to your dad."

Ted smiled "We know because of germs you can't stay with us but we're here. We will get you through this. Teddy will be home with you."

He found himself led up to Ginny's old room. It was both by the master bedroom and a bathroom. He found as well as stuff brought from home there were photos and pictures. Andromeda supplied most for they were photos of Harry with Teddy for the most part. They knew Teddy was the key to him getting better. They knew he would get sicker yet and needed a reminder of what he fought for. He loved them all but his desire to be a dad to Teddy would be a driving factor.

They left him to settle in. The others were in the kitchen and when he was ready he could come down for an early dinner. The family had all sworn they wouldn't even mention him hiding this. George had reminded them the last thing he needed was guilt. It took a while but he finally came down.

Harry was surprised to find a schedule of his appointments on the table. "What is this?"

Molly explained "Draco sent it on. Now we have spoken to Oliver and Katie and we have the first few planned."

Harry's head was spinning from how fast they were able to move on this. They knew he would feel guilty if any one gave up an entire day for him so they would in shifts. He was happy Oliver and Katie as well as Alicia were still included. He blushed when Bill said Draco would still be able to come sit with him and welcome here. Penny and Fleur even took a block. The only name not on it was Ron and he noticed Ron wasn't there.

Hermione knew his mind "He was here when George told us. I think he is in shock." He could tell though she wasn't sure she believed herself.

Draco was happy Harry had gone to the Burrow. Draco was not giving up on him but Harry needed his family too. As much as he cared about his friends he would have wanted his dad with him if he was the one sick. He had gone to work and had a schedule of appointments and treatments sent to the Burrow. He also made sure Molly knew no matter what time if Harry needed help she could contact him.

He was on his way home when he stopped in shock. Ron was in the Leaky Cauldron. It wasn't the fact the prat was drinking in mid day which bothered him. It was the fact he had just been told Harry had cancer. He should have been home with the family.

He stopped another drink "He has had enough."

Ron looked up "Who made you my keeper Malfoy? Come to gloat I'm sure that you knew before me?"

Draco threw down some money and pulled Ron over to the fire. He was too drunk to send home as Molly had enough to deal with. He took him to Harry's flat instead. He couldn't believe the prat. Until he opened his mouth he was going to give him the benefit of doubt. He thought for a moment Ron just couldn't cope.

Ron was irate "He hides it from us and now my family is bowing all over the hero once again. He doesn't need us he has you. Just like seventh year."

Draco was steaming "When he turned to adults for help? Never occurred to you he didn't want to get you killed?"

Draco reminded the fool of Harry's parents and Sirius. He had felt guilt they died for him. He may have been seventeen but he was still in school. He had finally come to trust an adult enough that unlike the stone or basilisk he knew he didn't have to do it alone. Harry had been trying to save lives including Ron. If any one was a fame seeker it was Ron. Harry never asked to be who and what he was.

Draco went to go "He envies you. He would love to work and marry. He would trade his fortune for your life in a moment."

Ron sunk down "George said he collapsed before try outs."

Hearing Ron actually concerned for a moment he turned back. Harry had been convinced to go for open try outs for the United. He could have had a private one but he wanted no special treatment. The day before he collapsed with a nosebleed and when he went to the healer found out. All his plans for a career as well as to raise Teddy and date were on hold. And Harry battled with the fear it would never be.

Draco summoned a potion and coffee "Sober up and go home. Take it from me you don't always have tomorrow."
