Harry woke up slowly, wrapping himself in the blankets and bringing the warm body close to him against him. He opened his eyes at once. His eyes fell on a pale neck. He then looked up a little more and saw hair so blond that you could not doubt their owner. Harry decided to analyze the situation before panicking. Already, they were both chest naked since he could feel Malfoy's back against his own chest and one of his arms was against the blonde's. Then Harry didn't really knew where his legs were, too tangled to those of the boy next to him. He suddenly had a doubt and moved down the hand that was previously on Malfoy along his own body and was relieved when he felt he still had his boxer. A slight laugh made him turn his attention to Malfoy.
"You were afraid that I raped you or what?" Harry almost choked on those words, but he recovered quickly, not forgetting that he was talking to Malfoy.
"No, I just checked that I did not rape you" Draco - Harry thought he could call him by his first name since they were almost naked in a bed - laughed again and murmured a sentence that Harry did not understand.
"What? What did you say?" The blond sighed and said his sentence again, much more audibly this time.
"It wouldn't really have been a rape, Potter" Harry nearly choked on himself again and blushed heavily.
"W-what?" Draco turned slowly, to face Harry.
"You understood me very well" It turned out that the blond was as red as Harry. They stared at each other for a long moment, trying to understand the meaning of this conversation. Malfoy stirred slightly before resting his head on the pillow. Their two bodies were now stuck, Harry could feel each parcel of Draco's skin. He also rested his head on the pillow and his nose touched the blonde's one, who looked at him with wide eyes. Harry ran his arm over Malfoy's back again, not knowing where to put it. The blond had now his eyes closed and Harry did the same, feeling suddenly exhausted. The last thing he knew before falling asleep was Malfoy's arm running down his back and bringing him closer to him, if that was still possible.
When Harry woke up again, everything was clearer in his head. He had fainted for a reason he didn't know, he had woken up in bed with Draco Malfoy for a reason he didn't know. No, in fact nothing was clear, everything was confused, he didn't understand a single thing. He didn't really understand how such a situation had happened. He didn't understand how he could have been lying on his back in bed with Malfoy lying on him. And especially he didn't understand why his arms were wrapped around the blonde as if he was afraid he would leave and even worse, why did he like that? And why didn't he want to leave?
He was in deep thought and panicked as he felt Draco's breathing changed in his neck. He straightened slightly and placed his face above Harry's. Then he dropped to the side, dragging Harry with him who still had his arms wrapped around him. They found themselves again face to face, staring at each other. Harry was feeling a lot better now. And before they could say anything, they heard a door open. Then hurried footsteps approached the bed and the curtains opened slowly. Hermione jumped slightly, not expecting them to be awake, and especially that they didn't killed each other. They hadn't looked up at her, still staring so closely at each other. She cleared her throat and Malfoy darted a cold look on her as Harry turned on his back to see her.
"Hey Mione, how are you?" She looked extremely relieved and threw herself into Harry's arms, crushing Draco's arm, still on Harry's chest. The blonde said nothing and simply clenched his teeth. Harry squeezed his arms around Hermione and she pulled back, standing up by the bed.
"Get up, we're all waiting for you in the living room" Then on these words she left and closed the door. Harry turned his head to Malfoy, who was rubbing his wrist with his hand while grimacing.
"Sorry for that" Malfoy only shook his head to show that it was nothing. Harry then got up and found his clothes perfectly folded on the second bed of the room. He realized at that moment that he was in his new room. He then dressed quickly and realized that Malfoy was staring at him as he pulled on his T-shirt. The blond was still lying in bed and when he saw that the brown had noticed that he was looking at him he got up too. He put on black jeans and his sweater and they came out of the room, each opening a door and giving a powerful effect to all those present on the other side of the door. Ezekiel, Nathaniel, Jordan, and Alarik jumped and quickly stood up when they came out of the room. They were originally all four lying on the ground in a kind of star, their heads were all gathered in the center and the legs each pointed in different directions. And they were arguing like that. Harry would have liked to have friends with whom to do that.
"I thought everyone was waiting in the living room?" Draco questioned.
"That's right, except that you seem to have a bad tendency to fight at that time, so we wanted to make sure you stayed whole" Alarik replied with a smile that Harry described as insolent and provocative. The two blond brothers told them to go to the living room before Draco choked someone. They went down the hall and then down the stairs and finally arrived in the living room well filled. In one corner of the room, the five children played with magically animated little cars, laughing with their crystalline laughter. Lyra was in front of the library, probably looking for a good book and Emett was sitting on the carpet in front of the fireplace, staring at the flames. Hermione and Theo were reading a book side by side on a couch. Blaise was leaning against the back of their couch and reading over their shoulders, alternating between Hermione's book and Theo's. Ron was standing in a corner and just watching everyone. Ginny and Pansy were sitting with the five little ones and playing with them. Harry went to sit next to his best friend. Draco went to stand next to Blaise, and the four teenagers settled on the floor in front of the couch. Harry waited a long time but receiving no explanation about his loss of consciousness and awakening near Malfoy, he decided to ask.
"So, these explanations?" Lyra turned back to him, only noticing at that moment that her fathers were there. She walked over to him with a huge book and laid it on her lap.
"It's all there" Harry's eyes widened as he saw the book.
"But do you know what it's all about?" The girl and the four boys behind her gave him smiles that didn't reassured Harry. He dropped his head against the top of the sofa and jumped when he found himself facing Draco's face. Draco looked away from the book he was reading over Hermione's shoulder and looked at Harry, who was looking at him in an odd way.
"No, Potter, I'm not gonna read this for you" Harry's gaze became desperate so Draco decided to help him and leaned in his ear.
"On the other hand, I'm sure Granger would agree to do it for us" Harry immediately straightened and turned to his friend, eyes bright.
"It's okay Harry"
"But I haven't even asked yet" Hermione laughed and looked at Harry.
"Your question seemed pretty obvious to me Harry"
"You're really smart, Mione" Harry laughed with a big smile.
"Except that I want something in exchange" Harry looked shocked.
"I want you to make peace with Malfoy, Harry. It is important for our cohabitation that the atmosphere is relaxed. And above all, Harry, these kids are used to seeing their parents happy together so it's imp-"
"Granger! Your little speech is useless. We didn't wait for you to make peace and we get along very well, don't we, Harry?' Draco cut her, ruffling Harry's hair at the end of his sentence. Harry smiled to approve his words. Hermione looked at them each in turn and was finally quite convinced so she grabbed the book and went upstairs. Harry didn't move, frozen by Draco's hand in his hair. It wasn't until then that he realized that yes, the situation had definitely changed between him and Malfoy. After all, sleeping and having children with someone, even in the future, it brought them closer.
"Come and sit down" He half ordered Malfoy. The blond nodded and jumped over the back of the sofa and landed in the space between Harry and Theo, who was still reading. The latter jumped and got up from the couch, upset to have been interrupted in his reading and went upstairs.
"Hey! But I was reading" Blaise shouted, still leaning against the couch. He then looked back at Harry and Draco, making fun of him. He sat down on the couch too, seeing that the coming conversation seemed exciting. Harry leaned over to Blaise.
"Do you know some things about what happened?" Blaise nodded.
"All I know is that Draco felt bad all morning and that he fainted and I just caught him before he could into the middle of a corridor" Harry turned his head to the blond.
"Wait, did you faint too?" Draco frowned.
"How so "too"? Do you mean we both fainted?"
"Yes, that's what he means Draco. And then comes the moment when I really don't understand anything. Lyra and Jordan arrived and acted as if it was perfectly normal and usual for them. They asked me to take you to the room and your two blond twins came carrying Harry who was as pale as you. I wanted to lie you down in your bed but they forced me to lie you down with Potter. They undressed you and made sure you got in touch and you immediately took colors" Harry and Draco were staring at him, looking amazed, not understanding the situation.
"Just before I fainted, I heard Nathaniel say that they knew it was going to happen" Draco looked at him sharply.
"What do you mean?" Harry shrugged.
"You can't just shrug as we faint Potter! You must know more!"
"No I can't. Because as you said so well, I fainted" Malfoy then grimaced, realizing he was wrong.
"I do not know you, but I want to learn more" Blaise told them before getting up and up the stairs.
"Is it me, or does everyone go upstairs after talking to us?" Harry asked.
"Interesting hypothesis, let's try with your redhead friend" Harry turned his gaze to him and laughed. He then asked Ron, still in his corner, alone. The red then advanced towards them.
"Why are you alone there Ron?" The redhead sighed then.
"I don't trust and I don't want to have anything to do with those dirty snakes" he replied disgustedly. It was Harry's turn to sigh.
"Try to make an effort, okay? They can be friendly and it's important for our cohabitation that the atmosphere is relaxed" Draco chuckled slightly as he recognized Hermione's words and Ron glared at him. Draco tried to hold back his laughter but it was not an easy task. Harry, understanding where his hilarity came from, laughed too and it was the start of a big laugh for both boys. Ron looked vexed and took an angry step up the stairs and took refuge in his room. The hilarity of the boys redoubled when they saw him climbing the stairs and soon all eyes turned to them, wondering why they laughed so much. Lesath was soon in front of them, so they calmed down.
"Is everyone gone because you're laughing? Because at home when you laugh we laugh too, we don't leave. Do we have to leave too?"
"No, of course not" They replied in one voice. The boy gave them a huge smile and ran back to play. Pansy and Ginny had not missed anything of the scene or their smiles when the little boy ran back to them.
"Don't you think it's nice that they love their sons even if they haven't had it yet? I mean, it's like they have that natural paternal instinct with their children. As if deep inside they knew it was their son" Ginny whispered. Pansy turned her head to Ginny, she was not wrong, she was perfectly right to say it all.
"It seems to me that this is normal, their blood must be recognized, in a way"
"That's not stupid, I'll ask Hermione for more explanations" Pansy just nodded.
"Aunty Pansy? Do you know why I haven't seen Dad yet?" The girl turned her head to Erika who looked at her with bright eyes. "I want to see my dads" The little girl snorted, ready to burst into tears.
"Are your dads here?" Pansy asked her.
"Yes, dad Sev is working here" Pansy and Ginny's eyes widened. Their potion teacher was gay, that was a hell of a lot. Pansy got up and took the baby in her arms.
"Draco?" The man raised his head to her and she gave him the little girl in her arms and went back to Ginny.
"Godfather? Can we go see Dad?" She asked the blonde. The latter nearly choke on discovering he had a godchild.
"Yeah, Dad thought it was funny that his godchild was the godfather of his daughter and son" Alarik told him as he stepped closer. Draco slowly looked up at him, a mixture of shock and misunderstanding painted on his face.
"Are you telling me that your father is Severus?" Harry nearly choked on him as the child in his arms nodded vigorously.
"And my daddy's Sirius too" Harry and Draco opened their mouths wide.
"Erika! You had been told not to say it" The girl looked at her brother with a guilty look.
"I'm sorry Rik" He gave her a smile and took her in his arms and walked away. Harry and Draco were still in a state of deep shock.
"Did you heard what I heard?" Harry finally asked. Draco just nodded, feeling traumatized.
"Let's see how it goes up there" Draco finally offered after a while.
"Why do you want us to go together Malfoy?"
"Because from what I understand, we're alive because our children have made us sleep together half-naked, which means that your contact keeps me alive. So if I stay with you, at the slightest sign of weakness, I'll just have to touch you so that none of us will faint again" Harry looked surprised and nodded.
"It stands" They then took the stairs and wondered for a moment where the others might be.
"In our room maybe?" Harry offered.
"Granger wouldn't have gone to our room to do some research"
"Her room then?"
"It seems more likely" Harry started to move forward, Draco next to him. They passed their door, then Blaise and Ron. Then came to a door where the names inscribed were "Black-Snape" On the next door it was written
"Lupin". There was then only one door where no name was inscribed. They opened the door gently and were relieved to find Hermione, Blaise and Theo immersed in thick books. There were two tables, one with a large number of books, and the other, where all three were. They each had an open book in front of them and took notes with an extremely concentrated air. Draco and Harry had closed the door and watched them, their presence not yet noticed. Draco cleared his throat after a while. They turned to look at them and smiled. Harry suddenly had his head spinning and Draco narrowly caught him before he collapsed to the floor. The blonde's hands came into contact with Harry's arms and Harry felt his headache and vertigo disappeared almost instantly. And Draco had to admit he felt better too. The other three looked at each other, then approached the bed where Harry and Draco had sat.
"So? What's happening to us?" Draco asked them. It was Blaise who answered him.
"Guys, it's at the same time really fantastic and wonderful and at the same time fucking scary"
