Translator's Note
Hello Guys. It's been a long time. This translation kind of went into an unannounced hiatus. I apologize. Updates are going to be every two weeks now. I will do my best to continue translating and giving you guys chapters. As mentioned before, this story is a translation and the original story in Spanish is far ahead so if you know Spanish and want to read ahead please do so.
I will also revisit previous chapters and edit them since none of the chapters have been edited for errors and mistakes. I am human and sometimes my bilingual brain sees an error and understands it so I sometimes skip them unintentionally. And sometimes some phrases in Spanish make no sense in English in its literal translation so I try to explain them in my notes and search for other phrases in English that fit. I know many of these errors were stated in the comments. Worry not, I will edit them and correct them.
HAPPY READING XD
SPOILER ALERT (not really): Could contain grammatical and/or minor tense errors.

Chapter 14: Living with the Family
Severus received him in the living room along with the owners of the house and the young Malfoy, who merely nodded in his direction.
"All right Severus, we're leaving," he said, "we have a lot of things to do," he looked at the others, and he added, "I'll be back in a few hours for dinner. We must agree on a few points before Potter's return to Hogwarts. My elf will bring you everything needed to feed Potter properly," he said, turning around- "By the way, don't worry about the wards, I'll put new and more powerful ones" With that said, he went out with Severus after him.
Draco watched them leave and soon after felt the protections vibrate. He turned and looked at the adults on the couch, concealed his nervousness, and took a seat in front of them. They were held by the hands, lost in their thoughts; he looked up at the stairs for a second before clearing his throat and looking at the adults who turned his attention to him.
"I... I want you to know that I will court Harry," he said firmly, eagerly awaiting the reaction of the older males.
They looked at him for a few seconds in shock. The first to get up was Remus, who smiled kindly at him and held out his hand, a hand that Draco quickly narrowed as he got up.
"Congratulations! I'm glad you finally made up your mind. Isn't that right Padfoot?"
Hearing his name Sirius rose from a jump, his eyes wide like plates.
"B-but Moony – he stuttered – "My little Prongs is... Is... It's - he moved his hands frantically "he's too young! He said like it was obvious – "Plus that kid's a pervert, don't you remember how he had Harry when we got here by flu?! – He asks looking at Remus in disbelief.
"Oh come on Siri, they're the same age and about being perverted," he smiled sideways, "I think you should remember what you do to me when we're alone," he said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Moony! – Sirius screamed outraged.
"After all, we're both Black," Draco replied with malice, "and it's not like I need your permission, Black, I already have the consent of the Dark Lord," He said arrogantly, and he smiled at the stupefied look in their faces – "All right, I'm going to go see how Harry's doing". He turned around and headed for the stairs.
When he arrived at the brunette's room he opened slowly and was shocked for a few minutes before the scene that received him.
Nagini, the Lord's huge snake, was screwed around Harry. Her tail was hugged by Harry as if it were a pillow, while Harry rested his head comfortably on the snake and the snake rested his huge head on Harry's hips.
Suddenly the snake raised its head sniffing the air with its tongue and then turned towards him. Draco was paralyzed for a few seconds before clearing his throat and asking if he could come in. He received a nod from the snake and that made him feel less stupid and less nervous. He approached the bed slowly and before sitting e looked at the snake with indecision before daring to ask.
"Can I approach Harry? Just for a moment," he said, preventing his voice from shaking.
He observed the snake pull out her tongue a couple of times before nodding.
Draco approached Harry and slowly placed a soft kiss on his forehead and then dropped elegantly on the chair next to the bed.
He felt uncomfortable in the same room as the snake and could not help but cast glances at her every few minutes. After about half an hour he thought that if she hadn't attacked him yet maybe she wouldn't, so he risked conjuring up his potion book with a gentle wand movement. The snake merely blinked before she snuggled up again on Harry.
Sensing no danger, he decided to transfigure the chair into a comfortable armchair, and settling down with his book on his lap, ready to spend a few good hours reading.
He didn't know how long it had been, he was so focused on his reading that he was startled when Harry wallowed in bed and looked just in time to see Nagini slide down the bed.
Harry opened his eyes getting used to the light of the room and rested his green eyes on some grays staring at him expectantly.
Draco got lost for a few moments in the intensity of Harry's gaze and when he reacted, he rose slowly.
"How do you feel sleepyhead? – he felt his heart of ice shake when Harry smiled at him and nodded.
"Tell me, do you need anything? – he asked, approaching.
Harry nodded as he smiled and set aside, palming the empty space with his right hand.
Draco denied with amusement before placing a gentle kiss on the other boy's cheek and lying next to him luring him to his chest. Harry let out a satisfied sigh and clung to the blonde's shirt.
He couldn't help but purr gently as he felt Draco's caresses on his head.
"You're getting very lazy," Draco said, voice laced with amusement at Harry's sounds.
He really looked like a kitten.
"You're to blame" and he continued, stopping the protest that's sure to come from Draco -" You're the most comfortable pillow I've ever had, and the warmest one" And to reaffirm what he just said, he stuck closer to the blonde's torso.
Draco blushed slightly by the words of the brunette and by his possessive embrace. Not finding a better chance he decided to risk telling Harry.
"Harry... I – but was interrupted by a few gentle taps on the door "Come in."
Remus went in and smiled fondly at the image.
"I'm just here to tell you that dinner will be served soon" - he looked at Harry and asked - "Do you feel better Pup?
"Yes Remus, thank you," he said incorporating himself. – "My fath... is Tom still here?" He asked stirring in Draco's arms, who had risen along with Harry and hugged him in the back.
Remus smiled glad to see that Harry was accepting his "new" father in a good way.
"He's gone for a couple of hours," he saw his pup's disappointment with amusement – "But he said he would be back for dinner". The illusion in Harry's eyes was something worth betraying over, even if he had to betray Dumbledore himself and the whole Order. "It seems he still needs to give some orders."
Harry nodded smiling and rose with a jump.
"Come On, Draco, let's get dressed," he said, pulling on a smiling blond man's hand, "I have to take a bath and I want you to help me choose which clothes to wear, will you help me? He asked with shining eyes.
Draco swallowed saliva and nodded.
"Of course, Harry". He sighed, knowing that from now on he knew there would be nothing he would deny the brunette.
A throat clearing pulled them out of his fantasy, causing Harry to blush and let go of Draco's hands.
"I'll see you at dinner," that said, he left the room.
Draco went to the closet and talked to Harry over his shoulder.
"We'd better hurry, I don't think the Lord likes to be kept waiting," he said as he chose Harry's clothes, "I'll pick your clothes and leave them on the bed, then I'll go get dressed," he turned around with the outfit in his hands and placed it on the bed.
"Thank you, Draco." Harry placed a kiss on his cheek before he walked to the bathroom. "I'll see you at dinner."
Draco stood there watching the bathroom door and when he heard the water running, he rushed out of the room.
TR***LV
Dinner had gone as normal as possible, the only one who was oblivious to the tension accumulated in the air was Harry.
After dinner, they went into the living room to talk.
"I don't have much free time, so I'll tell you what your missions will be and... – but his son clearing his throat interrupted him and he had to suppress the urge to roll his eyes, "I hope that you all will be inclined to help me," He saw the perplexity in everyone's face and the bright smile on his son's face. He let out a low growl –" Stop with that silly smile Potter; We will see who's laughing at the end". He saw his son's smile widen and he look at him ignoring the attention others were giving them, "You'll see how I'll erase that smug smile you spoiled brat" He thought. "Lupin" He spat, mad. "You'll be in charge of reviewing all the subjects with Potter and putting him on an academic level that's up to par with his last name; Black you will take care of his physical and magical training, with that I mean physical endurance, sword fight, duel and everything about a quick course to an Auror". He saw the man nod and looked back at his son and it was his turn to smile when he saw the expression of disappointment on his beloved son's face
"Malfoy will take care of giving him quick etiquette classes, and since there's not much time to teach him to eat the different kinds of food, the least I hope is that he learns to behave like a pureblood on the table even if he still eats junk". He heard his son moaning and burying his face in his hands embarrassed.
"As your three tutors will always be available, it is best for the schedule to be set. Therefore, they will start from 6 to 7:30 in the morning with physical training, from 8 to 8:30 breakfast will be served and young Malfoy will be able to take advantage, then you will study with Lupin from 8:30 to 12 pm, you will have half an hour of lunch from 12 to 12:30, you will continue your studies from 12:30 to 3 pm. Young Malfoy will have the time of 3 to 4 for etiquette classes, the meal will be from 4 to 4:30, the remaining hours from 4:30 to 8 p.m. you will train with Black and finally dinner will be served at 9 o'clock and I must clarify that I do not like to wait". He said looking in warning at his son, but this one looked at him in horror.
He smiled maliciously at the thought that he still hadn't revealed the icing on the cake. "Ah, I almost forgot, this schedule will only be Monday through Friday". He heard a sigh of relief at his side and smiled wickedly at the owner of the sigh. "Saturdays and Sundays there will only be physical training because you will have Occlumency classes with Severus... ". He saw the completely desolate expression of the brunette and pitied him a little, just a little. "And Sunday with Malfoy until no more than midday."
Harry couldn't believe his father did all that to him; He definitely still resented him for what happened a few hours earlier.
"You're a monster," he groaned, dropping his head on the table in a sign of defeat.
"It's good to know you haven't forgotten who I am," he said, causing Harry to drop a growl. He got up from the table and looked at everyone. "If there are no questions I'm leaving". He saw everyone but his son's slump figure nod. "Have a goodnight". And he headed to the hallway.
Everyone sat there staring at the figure of the man disappearing down the aisle. The moment he disappeared from the hall; they saw the boy with unruly black hair hasten towards the hallway.
Harry wasn't happy with his obligatory activities, but that didn't mean he wouldn't say goodbye to his father, so he came out like an exhalation from the dining room to catch up with his father before he disappeared.
Tom was about to come to the door when he heard a person running after him and knowing who he was stopped, but he was surprised when something small hit him and clung to his back.
"I... I... -Harry babbled without knowing how to continue.
"I thought you were mad at me,". He said with amusement, but the next second, he was released and turned around to look at his son.
"Of course, I wasn't mad at you! It's just that...– He twisted his hands without looking at his father. "I thought since I found you and you accepted me in your life. Well, I'd have a normal family vacation. But if you don't want to, then...– He didn't finish. He felt uncomfortable. Maybe he misinterpreted things.
Tom didn't want his son to have any misunderstandings, so gently, nothing worthy of a Dark Lord, but yes from a father, he lifted the kid's chin and looked at his eyes.
"Listen Harry" He sighed. "I know you're waiting for family life you never had... that we never had" he corrected himself. "I also desire it, you are my only son, mine and the love of my life and that is precisely why I am doing this son" He cleaned with his fingers the tears that fell down his son's cheeks. "I need to know that you will be as prepared as possible to return to school" He gently denied "I will not leave you to your fate, I will make sure you have protection. But you better than anyone should know that problems are hard to avoid and you have to be prepared."
"Yes Father, I didn't mean to behave in such a manner" He embraced him tightly, but he knew that if he wanted a hug, he had to ask for it. "We're alone, you can hug me please." He asked looking at him with tearful eyes.
Tom felt uncomfortable for a moment, but as he looked at him in that state, he could only squeeze him against his chest tightly, wishing with that act to melt him with his skin and keep him protected always.
"I have to go; I have to settle some issues but... I'll do everything I can to get you to spend Christmas with me". He saw his son's smile of happiness and felt something warm spread over his chest. "Still, I'll try to come to dinner every night before you return to Hogwarts. By the way, this is for you," he said, spreading a jar with a violet potion, "take it today before bed; it'll hurt a little, but by the time you wake up, you won't need the lenses anymore.
Harry nodded pleased and let his father go to take the jar.
"Thank you, father, I know how hard it is to get the ingredients for the potion," he said, smiling, "then I'll see you tomorrow."
Tom nodded and a few seconds later disappeared.
H&D***D&H
Harry was tired. It had been several days since he had returned from the Burrow and had spoken to his father. Every day he received letters from the twins or messages through coins with news about change of plans, visits from the director, sneaky conversations from his "friends" or just jokes.
His daily routines were strictly followed to the letter and thanks to that he had gained a little weight and muscles. He thanked that his father had given him the potion to correct his sight, or else he would lose every sword duel just for losing his glasses half-workout. He had also learned a lot from Remus and now he was sure that with a little effort he would compete for one of the first places, even with Granger and Draco.
In his Occlumency classes, he went very well, Professor Severus had left him several books with many exercises; the only thing he wasn't doing very well was in etiquette classes, not that he didn't learn but rather that he couldn't concentrate. He wanted to talk to Draco about what had happened between them but with all the things he had to do in the day, he ended up exhausted at night and nothing helped the fact that they had been assigned a room each and quite far away.
He sighed and turned on the grass looking up at the sky. He recalled the day they had been left alone after several days, as Sirius was always present in his etiquette classes overseeing his progress and adding comments here and there.
FlashBack
Harry was on his way to the room they had conditioned for his classes with Draco. He was a little stressed about his classes with Remus and walked slowly, he knew that when Sirius arrived, he would get attention, so he was surprised when he walked in and didn't find him.
"Your godfather had to go out but will come back at night," Draco said from the shadows.
Harry looked for the origin of the voice and saw him leaning in the background hidden in the shadows. He wore black trousers and a green Slytherin shirt that looked perfect on him. He gulped.
"Hi Draco, thank you for letting me know" Harry walked to the table and took a seat watching the different dishes served. "what will I learn today? "He asked smiling in the direction of the blond.
Draco felt his legs shaking, all he wanted was to run towards Harry and kiss him passionately.
"I thought we could take a look at everything we've seen," he said as he approached and kept behind the brunette, "why don't you pick three plates and explain to me what cutlery to use, why and with what drink you'd accompany them—he ended up bending over, his breath caressing the brunette's ear.
"Draco" Harry panted with his eyes closed.
Draco knew that if he didn't get away from Harry, he'd end up kissing him, so he walked towards the window and leaned in the wall again.
"All right, it'll be these three," Harry said in a trembling voice, he cleared his throat nervously, and began to explain everything he had learned.
He was so focused that he didn't realize Draco's scorching gaze was on him.
Draco, meanwhile, was being tortured in a very sweet way, he had no idea what the brunette was saying, only hearing his melodious voice as he watched his fingers gently stand on top of the glass and as the liquid went down his throat, but what was driving him crazy were his delicious red lips for the wine.
Draco was unaware that he had already finished until he saw him get up and stare at him. Without being able to hold his gaze he looked at the garden and did not moved his gazed not even when the brunette was getting closer.
Harry didn't know what was going on, maybe he was wrong about something, and that's why Draco wasn't looking at him, but whatever it was, he'd fix it. He got up and approached him but seeing that he was still in the same attitude he decided to apologize.
"Draco, sorry if I messed up, ill try again. don't be angry please." He pleads.
Draco turned his head so fast that he felt his neck hurt. He looked at Harry surprised.
"No Harry! Of course, you weren't wrong, it's just that...– Draco shut up undecided on what to say.
"What, Draco? – Harry asked putting his fingers on the strongly folded arms of the blonde.
Draco was not a man that let himself be guided by his impulses, but with Harry everything was different.
"I'm sorry Harry, I wanted to talk to you before, but I can't stand it anymore". And having said this he took a surprised Harry by the shoulders and pushed him against the wall while capturing his mouth in a voracious kiss.
Draco trapped the brunette's lower lip and sucked it with desire as his hands perched on Harry's hips. Harry groaned inside the kiss feeling Draco's tongue on his lip and immediately opened his mouth, giving in to the insistent tongue. They both groaned when their tongues met, and Harry's hands traveled to Draco's neck burying his fingers in his hair as he felt Draco's hands slide down his back. When the air became indispensable, they parted looking at each other in the eye.
"I've missed you," Harry said in a whisper without letting go of the blond.
"Me too, and a lot," Draco said, turning his gaze to Harry's red lips.
When they realized they were already kissing again, but this time Draco had his whole body on Harry and he could feel him getting excited, he was in the same condition. But a timely elf knocked on the door to say they were waiting for them to eat. If it hadn't been for that, they wouldn't have been able to stop.
End of FlashBack
Harry let out a sigh. How he wanted to repeat that kiss. At night he couldn't sleep well. He needed Draco by his side and knew that at Hogwarts it would be even harder to be together unless... He jumped up, he had an idea of how to fix that problem and if he planned things right, he could get rid of Weasley and Granger and keep Dumbledore on his side without him suspecting anything.
