A/N: Welcome back everyone! I'm so excited to start this again! I hope you all enjoy it and if you want to recommend anything, then please review. We'll, let's begin!

Chapter 1 - Another Beginning

They all scanned the platform for Mrs Weasleys before Ron yelled, "There she is! "

The five of them ran over to her and she smiled at the sight them. She hugged each of them, Ginyn, then Ron and Hermione. Then she finally grabbed Harry and hugged him tight. She let him go and saw the blonde standing beside Harry looking down at his feet. She shot a look of confusion at Harry and he spoke, "Can we speak to you a minute?"

She agreed and they moved aside, but she murmured 'we' again with confusion. "What's going on?"

"Well, when we first joined back, I noticed Draco had changed. He wasn't being himself, he was acting different. I learnt he was struggling with home life and so I offered to help him. The more I helped him, the more we realised we liked each other, up until the point that we knew it. We... We love each other."

She stood still and shot a look between the two of them. Then, after what felt like an eternity, she suddenly grabbed the blonde, and pulled him into a massive hug. "Welcome to the family! ". Then she grabbed Harry and pulled him in aswell. "I'm so pleased for you both. I'm glad you've found each other." She looked like she could have sobbed with joy. "Please would you come and join us for the day? I would love to get to know you Draco."

It looked like a weight had been lifted from Draco's shoulders. "Really? Thank you, Mrs Weasley."

"Don't mention it, lovely, you're a part of the family now."

"Thank you, Molly. We were wondering if we could stay a night or two? If you don't mind."

"Aww, if course! You've made my day! You're both welcome any time."

They regrouped smiling and held onto each other. Molly apparated them to their home and they popped into the living room. They all began to disperse to put away their things, however Draco stayed in the room, taking everything in. "Harry, is this where they actually live?"

"Haha, yeah. Why?"

"I never realised that my Manor was so massive. I mean, I knew it was big, but this is tiny, and they make it work. I feel so... so horrible. After years of bullying Ron for having no money, and I never knew that this is what he called home." He was visibly upset and distraught at how nasty and vile he had been. Harry wrapped his arms around him and kissed him.

"Well, I'm glad you have realised. It all helps you to become a better person. And, remember, they know you've changed."

"I know, but I feel so bad."

Just then, Mrs Weasley returned, "I've got your room ready boys, do you mind sharing a bed?"

"Thanks Molly, and we're happy to share a bed."

"It's really nice of you Mrs Weasley. Thank you."

"I want to make you feel comfy. And, please, call me Molly."

"Ok, thank you... Molly."

She smiled and lead them up the stairs to their room. It was a nice, small room with a double bed at the side, and a wardrobe next to it. There were a set of shelves above the bed aswell, however, that was about it. They placed their belongings down and Draco looked out of the window. It was a lovely view of the fields that surrounded them.

"I hope it will do." Said Molly, wishing she could have given more to impress the guests.

Draco spoke immediately, "It's more than we could have asked for. It's perfect."

"It really is Molly, thank you."

"You're very welcome. I'm glad you like it. Settle in, and if you're not downstairs for lunch, I'll come and fetch you."

Then she walked out of the room, leaving them to settle in. They both collapsed on the bed, tired, despite the snooze they had in the train. It must have been approaching early morning by now. They both got changed into their nightwear and climbed into bed. They sat upright for a while, Draco in Harry's arms, talking about Grimmauld Place.

*Knock Knock*

"Come in" replied Harry.

Hermione walked in and pointed at the end of their bed, with Harry nodding his agreement.

"Are you OK Hermione?"

"Yeah, I'm just tired. So, what are you up to later today?"

"We plan to spend some time here, so Draco can get to know Molly and Arthur. Then tomorrow, we're going to go to the Ministry of Magic to confirm we are taking Grimmauld Place into our ownership. And then, we'll go there and I guess we'll sort out the wards, and possibly a quick clean. What about you?"

"I'm so excited for you both, I can't wait to come and visit again. Well, we're not sure, probably just relax and spend some time here. Anyway, I'm gonna head off to bed. Night you two, see you later."

The boys replied in harmony, "Night." as she left the room, shutting the door behind her.

"Urm, Harry?"

"Yes love?"

"I forgot about Arthur. He used to work with my dad. I'm not sure he'll be that pleased to see me."

"Oh come on, you being hard in yourself. The Weasleys are the kindest, most forgiving family I know. He'll be pleased to know that you don't act like your fa...father." Harry began to slow down and trail off at the end.

"Are you OK?"

"Erm, I need to tell you something. Professor McGonagall informed me yesterday, but I couldn't tell you, your were graduating."

"Go on."

"Well, the laws changed recently, and that meant your father was put up for another trial. They resentenced him to a life sentence." He placed an arm around his lover.

The blonde's face was in shock. "My father could have gotten free, and terrorised more people again. He could have found me." He burst into tears and collapsed into Harry's chest.

"Come on, he's still locked away. He can't hurt anyone anymore. You're safe here, I've got you."

Harry felt so bad for the blonde crying against his chest. He wished he had a better upbringing, knowing his own was difficult, he sympathised with Draco and held him tight. He did as McGonagall had said, comfort him.

When he managed to control his emotions a bit more, he stopped crying and hugged Harry tighter and thanked him for telling him. He knew he would've found it hard if he had gotten told by a letter, especially with no one around. He couldn't stand the thought of that vile man being free. And so, Harry pulled Draco further down into bed, and pulled the sheets over them. He spooned Draco to comfort him some more and they fell asleep almost instantly.

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

The boys both woke to a gentle sound of repetitive knocking. It was lighter now, but the curtains still blocked most light out. They sat up on bed, Harry still hugging his boyfriend. "Come in."

Mrs Weasley opened the door, and smiled at the sight of them, half asleep and leaning against each other. "Hello, I hope you slept alright."

"It was lovely thanks Molly." Harry spoke quietly, still adjusting himself.

Draco, on the other hand, looked like he had been awake for much longer, despite only waking up when Harry did, because he was a much bigger morning person. "Morning Molly, it's was great thank you. Did you want some help with the lunch?"

"Don't be silly! You're the guest! I don't want you to do anything, just relax. We'll, I'll leave you both, and then when you're ready, come and grab some food." She left the room and Draco grabbed his wand, pointing them at the curtains to open them.

"ARGH! That's too bright! I'm not ready yet!"

"Oh, Harry, stop moaning. Come on, we need to get ready, do you know where the bathroom is?"

"Ergh, ok. Yeah, go up two flights of stairs and it's at the end of the corridor."

"Thanks."

The pair of them got ready, Draco much quicker than Harry, and they made their way down the stairs. They walked into the dining room and Mrs Weasley had filled the table with homemade food.

"Wow Molly, this is incredible! It looks absolutely delicious."

"Thank you. Feel free to tuck in. The others will be down soon."

Grabbing a chair, they both grabbed some food and began filling their plates. At the same time, footsteps ran down the stairs, and a face appeared at the end. "Hi guys! I'm so hungry!"

"Hi Ginny." Harry laughed at how she nearly fell off the last step.

"Good morning, Ginny." Draco smiled, about to put a sandwich into his mouth.

Soon after, Ron and Hermione came down and joined them, taking a chair each. Molly also sat with them, beside Draco and began talking to him.

"So Draco, what do you think of the food?"

"It's really nice, thank you. You're a great cook."

Her smile grew with joy, "Really? Aww thanks. I try my best. So then, what do you want to do now you've graduated?"

"Well, thanks to Harry and Professor Slughorn, I've decided I want to be a writer. I really enjoy writing stories, and I'm hoping to release my first book based on my experience on the dark side. I want to share my mistakes to show the serious consequences."

Mrs Weasley looked at Draco in his eyes and said "No way! Really? I love reading books! I'd love to read it when you release it."

Draco smiled, "Definitely, you can get one of the first copies."

Molly smiled back, "I can't wait. You know, Ginny and Ron have both told me how much you've changed and how you helped them to revise. Thank you so much."

"Well, I wanted to see them do well."

Draco felt like he belonged to the family now that he had spent some time with them all. However, he still hadn't seen Arthur at all.

As if Ginny had read his mind, she piped up, "Hey Mum, where's Dad?"

"He's stuck at work. He won't be back until Tuesday because, now that he's head of the department, he has a lot more work to do, so he's sorting it all out now so there's less to do later on."

"That's a shame, I can't wait to tell him my results!"

"Nor can I!" Ron jumped in before Ginny tried to talk some more. "And I bet he'll love to meet Draco."

"I'm sure he'll love to meet you Draco."

They were all sat talking now, and the food was nearly completely gone from the table. Mrs Weasley waved her wand and the dishes all flew into the kitchen, where they began washing themselves. Ginny ran upstairs and Ron and Hermione made their way into the living room.

"Thank you Molly, that was lovely." The blonde said.

"You're very welcome. So, you enjoy writing, do you enjoy reading aswell?"

"I love it. What about you?"

"I've got a room full of books, like a mini library, you can help yourself any time."

"Thank you very much. Will I get my own shelf of books that I write?"

"Of course, I can't wait to read them."

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Harry and Draco got back into bed and Harry help Draco against his shoulder, in what had become a usual position, and they spoke about the next day. Harry was clearly excited about returning to Grimmauld Place, and Draco was pleased to get to look around their house. They were both in a great mood, and were struggling to get to sleep, partly from excitement, and partly from their sleep earlier in the day.

"So, who do we need to see tomorrow?"

"Erm... I don't know. I guess we had best send a letter to the Ministry to meet us there?"

"You could, but how are you going to do that?"

"I could ask to borrow Pigwidgeon."

"Well, I would have just gotten my house elves to do it. The Weasleys don't have one do they?"

"No, they d..." Harry paused and his face lit up. "You are a genius!"

"Well, what's new?" Draco smirked.

"Kreacher!"

*POP*

The house elf appeared suddenly beside the bed. "Yes Master Potter?"

"Kreacher, are you able to send a message?"

"No!" Harry looked sternly towards him, "OK, what does master want?"

Harry jumped out of bed, pulling a quill and ink, and parchment from his bag, and leant on the window sill. He wrote the letter and handed it to Kreacher.

"Kreacher, can you take this to Kingsley Shacklebolt? He'll know what to do."

*POP*

He was gone.

"What did you say?"

"I asked them to meet us at Grimmauld Place at half past twelve. I hope that's alright."

"Yeah, that's fine. I'm excited for it."

"I'm glad. Do you have ownership of Malfoy Manor then? Or the elves?"

"Well, my Mother still legally owns the Manor and all the elves, because Father lost ownership and Mother was next to take them, even if she's left the country. Although, I can still call the elves and they listen to me."

"Oh, so is that where you stayed before 8th year?"

"Yeah, it was pretty lonely. It would have been better with you." He smiled and pulled Harry toward him. They kissed each other goodnight and lay down. They pulled the sheets up and soon dropped off.
