Harry was lying in bed and smiling like a fool, thinking back to the events that had taken place earlier. So he'd kissed Draco, which destabilized him. Then he finally kissed him back and wrapped his arms around Harry's waist as Harry had his arms around the blonde's neck, sliding one of his hands through his hair. They had kissed as much as they could before running out of air. They then had broken loose slowly, opening their eyes again. Draco laughed nervously, feeling ridiculous for having fled earlier. Harry had just smiled and kissed him again.
A movement on his chest brought him back to the present and he heard Draco mumble something in a sleepy voice.
"What?" Harry asked him. Draco straightened hardly, until he found himself in front of Harry. The brown man found his half-asleep face truly adorable. The blond glared at him.
"I'm not adorable, Potter" Harry giggled, the blond was not threatening at the moment. Between his tousled hair, his eyes gleaming with fatigue, his smile that he was trying to conceal, and the sense of joy that Harry could feel from their touching bellys.
"It's obvious" Harry replied, laughing.
"Oh, shut up will you" Draco growled, letting himself fall back to Harry, thrusting his head into the mattress. Harry swiveled to the side and the blond laid on his back. The Gryffindor could then place his head on Draco's shoulder and they fell asleep for the night, or at least what was left of it.
On the other side of the door, Lyra and Erin smiled at each other.
"I guess they'll keep it a secret for a moment" Erin whispered.
"You guess well" whispered a male voice behind them. The two sisters jumped and turned, widening their eyes, having recognized the voice.
"What were you talking about by the way?" The boy asked now in front of them. He was a tall young man, his black hair just above his shoulders and he was black-eyed.
"Dimi?" Lyra asked, narrowing her eyes, trying to distinguish him better in the dark.
"Himself" They both threw themselves in his arms, delighted to see him again.
"What are you doing here?" Lyra asked, still whispering.
"I was walking down the hall and I heard you whispering very discreetly"
"They're asleep, don't worry" Erin told him, happy to be able to joke with his best friend again.
"I meant what are you doing here? At that time?" Lyra reiterated. He shrugged.
"I don't know, I was walking quietly down the halls looking for an attack plan and then I found myself stuck in that damn room of secrets. Luckily I remembered a few parseltongue words that I heard your brother say in his sleep"
"Wait, when did you heard Zephir talking in his sleep? He finally agreed to go out with you?" Erin asked hurriedly.
"Seriously?" Whispered a voice from a bed. Nathaniel jumped out of it and moved closer to them.
"No, he didn't accept but we are in the same dormitory so maybe I happen to watch him sleep from time to time, but rarely"
"Are you sure you didn't want to say that you watched him passionately every minute that passes?" Ezekiel teased from his bed. Lyra then checked if Lesath and Emett were sleeping and she pulled out all the others to keep it like that. Dimitri groaned as the twins literally laughed at him.
"Stop it you fools! You too are in love too and it seems to me that we're not making fun of you" Tented to defend Erin.
"Because we're not getting rejected" Ezekiel laughed.
"He doesn't reject me!" Dimitri shouted, a little louder than he should have. The door marked
"Zabini-Weasley" opened on Zachady and Jordan.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Zachady started as he closed the door so as not to wake the two sleeping girls inside.
"Is that Dimi?" Jordan asked, hidden by the tall build of his brother.
"In the flesh" Dimitri replied with a wink. Jordan laughed as he saw him surrounded by four blondes.
"It was the voice of Dimitri or did I dreamed?" Alarik's voice asked a little further down the hall.
"Would you be able to dream of my voice, little brother?" His brother mocked him. Alarik came forward laughing and came to hug his brother and Zach embraced Dimitri too.
"So, how is it going with your beautiful boy?" Zach finally asked him with a mocking smile. Dimitri glared at him.
"Go fuck yourselves, all of you, as much as you are" he gasped.
A laugh was heard, far down the hall.
"Ouch! Why did you hit me?" Joris's voice said.
He received no response but his sister came near the others and he joined them a few moments later while holding the back of his head. Lyra mocked him and Eleanor went to hold Dimitri in her arms.
"Well, it's not that we don't have fun here, but it's, what, 4am so now everyone is going to bed" Zach almost ordered. Lyra pulled Nathaniel by the arm since he was literally glued to Jordan. The latter rolled his eyes before releasing the blond.
"I'll give him back to you" Nathaniel laughed and Lyra closed the door gently, leaving Jordan and Zach planted in the hallway. The black finally went to bed, leaving his brother alone in front of all these closed doors.
A high-pitched scream made Harry stand up suddenly the next day. He looked down at Draco, who was still sleeping peacefully, not at all disturbed by the roar. Harry pulled himself out of the blonde's arms and pulled on his pants quickly before heading to the door. He opened it on the fly and fell on a rather puzzling show. Jordan and Nathaniel were sitting on the bed of the last and seemed extremely tired and bored. In front of them, Lyra shouted at them under the amused laughter of their other siblings.
"You two are completely stupid!" Nathaniel got up and faced her. He was slightly taller than her but she didn't pulled herself apart.
"We were sleeping! We were just fucking sleeping!"
"I know it perfectly! I'm sleeping right next to you in case you forgot it"
"So why are you yelling at us so early in the morning?" Jordan asked calmly.
"Firstly, because seeing you kissing my brother, well, what am I saying, seeing you devour his face, when I open my eyes is not what I call a good awakening! And I was scared because you're not supposed to be there" The door opened at that moment, letting in Dimitri.
"Who's that person?" Draco whispered to Harry who jumped, not having heard him coming. He shrugged, having no idea.
"What's going on here, by Merlin?" the newcomer asked. Against all odds, Lesath jumped out of bed.
"Dimi!" Shouted the little blond, running towards the taller one. Given Harry's appearance, Harry would not have thought he was receiving his son with a smile. He had a rather rebellious look to tell the truth. He had black jeans tucked in quickly in black rangers, a red and black plaid shirt open on a black tank top. And Harry was sure he would put on a leather jacket if he had to go out. Looking at him carefully, Harry saw a tattoo that seemed to travel on his host's body. Harry could never see the tattoo completely so he did not know what he meant.
"Jordan came to sleep with Nath, and Lyra is shouting at them" the boy explained, as if it were obvious. Dimitri retreated until he could pass the door of his head.
"JORIS!" He shouted. The blonde appeared almost immediately at the door, pulling on a T-shirt.
He watched the scene, trying to understand why he had been so drowsy so soon. He saw Lyra and Nathaniel glaring at each other as Jordan was lying on the bed, taking advantage of the silence to try and get back to sleep. Joris then stepped towards them, grabbed the blonde by the waist and lifted her off the ground. He passed her over his shoulder like a bag of potato and came out of the room as quickly as he had arrived, determined to go back to sleep.
Lyra was heard struggling violently but he silenced her quickly. It was about time that Draco realized that Harry only had pants on him. He pushed the door with his fingertips and pushed Harry harshly against it as soon as it closed. He first kissed him softly and Harry took advantage of the situation, biting the blond a little too violently against the door. Draco saw the teasing gleam in Harry's eyes. Harry placed his lips on the blonde's and quickly he slid his tongue against his twin. The kiss quickly grew louder than it did at first, and Harry forced himself to stop as he was about to remove Draco's sweater. The latter groaned with discontent.
"Your kids are all huddled behind that door, Malfoy" Harry justified. Draco nodded and then peeled off the door before opening it. He turned to Harry.
"Put on a T-shirt" He ordered. The brunette rolled his eyes but did so. The children laughed and Erin glanced at them in a way that Harry didn't understand but that everyone else understood as a warning about the secret of their fathers' relationship. Dimitri moved quickly towards them and embraced them each.
"Dimitri" He introduced himself.
"Sirius is your father?" Harry asked him. The boy nodded, smiling.
"How?" Harry asked, believing his godfather was dead. Dimitri just laughed lightly and he pushed Harry and Draco into their room before closing the door.
"Do you think Daddy is dead?" Harry immediately had tears in his eyes, he was terribly angry at himself and he was missing his godfather a lot.
"He is not, don't worry" Harry looked up at him with tears in his eyes.
"Sev found a way to get him out just before school, so by the time I talk to you he probably has to sleep to get back from his stroll in the veil" It was too much for Harry. He dropped to the ground and the tears came out without him being able to control them. Dimitri left them alone. The brown on the ground was shaking with rather violent sobs. Draco knelt down in front of him and Harry pressed himself against him. The blond held him in his arms while the tears subsided. Seeing that didn't happen, Draco tried to calm him down.
"Calm down. He's fine, you've heard it yourself. He's alive" It was not really conclusive, so seeing that the tears were intensifying and Harry was starting to spasm, Draco did the only thing that came to his mind. He pressed his mouth against Harry's, who widened his eyes before kissing him back. They parted and Harry wiped his tears, calmed.
"Thank you" He murmured. Draco smiled at him.
"But you're welcome, all the pleasure was mine" It made Harry laugh. They then got up and went out of the room for good. The kids were gone and Harry was grateful for that. They found the whole troop in the great hall. Harry settled in front of Hermione. She greeted them with a smile and Harry was surprised to see Ron laughing with Theo sitting next to Hermione.
"Hermione, do you know how this emotional story works?"
"When you touch each other, you can feel the emotions of the other" Harry leaned closer to her and whispered.
"I can feel some even when we don't touch"
"Especially powerful emotions?" Harry nodded. "I think it's normal then" Harry was relieved.
He remained silent until the end of the breakfast, seriously thinking about going to Dumbledore to invite Sirius and Remus to the castle. He got up with all the others at the bell. He had a DCFM course with the Slytherins. Lyra, Dimitri and Zachady had classes with them and Harry was happy. Draco leaned nonchalantly against the wall near the door and Harry slid to the ground next to him. Draco slid his hand into Harry's neck, they probably could not get in touch for the next two hours so as a precaution they wanted to be in touch, not wishing any of them to faint in the middle of the room. The door opened suddenly and Remus Lupin came out. Harry's eyes widened and he got up.
"Remus?"
"Oh, Harry. I'm glad to see you again"
"What are you doing here?" Harry asked.
"Dumbledore asked me to come back for a children's story and took the opportunity to rehire me for the job"
"You're the most proficient teacher we've had" Draco interjected. Remus turned his head towards him and frowned.
"Malfoy?"
"He's a nice guy now" Harry informed him.
"What is this story of children, Harry? Dumbledore didn't want to tell us anything" The three children approached them, along with Hermione, Ron, Blaise, and Theo. Upon seeing Dimitri, Remus opened his eyes.
"You look like Sirius that's crazy" The boy smiled slightly as he replaced his leather jacket properly on his shoulders, Harry was not mistaken. The door opened a second time.
"Who's like me?" Sirius asked, throwing his head out the door. Harry jostled them all and rushed towards Sirius. He hugged him so hard that the older man thought he was going to end up suffocated. He did not care anymore when he heard Harry sniff. He hugged the boy harder and stroked his hair until he calmed down. Harry pulled away from him, went to get Dimitri and came back to Sirius with a big smile.
"This is Dimitri, your son" Sirius almost choked on hearing that. Draco approached them.
"It's funny, he has the same head as you when Dumbledore taught us about the kids" Draco laughed at Harry. The latter laughed.
"It's not true!" He said with an air of outrage.
"You're right, your face was so much worse" Harry giggled, hitting Draco's chest lightly as Sirius stared at them strangely, not understanding this reversal of behavior. Ron and Hermione came to hug Sirius in their arms. Lyra went close and hugged him too.
"It feels good to see you again, uncle Siri" Sirius's eyes widened. Remus asked them to return to the classroom as the other students arrived, thus preserving their privacy. Before they all got in, Draco held Harry by the arm.
"If you ever feel bad, you just have to come over and scream at me, nobody will find that weird" He whispered in Harry's ear.
"Do that too" Draco nodded and they went back into the room.
Harry sat next to Ron and Draco next to Blaise.
"Well, today we are going to address the unformulated. The theory was taught to you by my colleague so let's get straight to the practice" With a wand motion Remus made all the tables disappear and the students got up hastily before their chairs disappeared. Once the room was emptied, he spoke again.
"In pairs, you will practice spraying yourself with unformulated spells" The duets formed quickly.
Harry and Ron, Hermione and Neville, Draco and Blaise and Pansy and Theo. The teacher let them started and Ron threw an expelliarmus to Harry. When Harry took his wand, for the first time in a while, it was reduced to ashes.
He found himself with a pile of dust at his feet. He then followed his instinct and reached out his hand in front of him. A barely visible force field formed in front of him and Ron's spell rebounded on it and flew his wand that landed right in Harry's second hand. Ron looked at the brunette, totally amazed. Harry looked at Draco and saw a pile of ashes similar to his at his feet. Draco obviously did not have Harry's instinct and was trying to avoid Blaise's spells, which seemed to have a gift for the uninformed.
Other Slytherin students, having noticed that Draco could not defend himself, began to approach him, looking menacing. Draco tried to defend himself by threatening them, promising them a thousand sufferings. But nothing worked, they raised their wand. Harry felt his fingers itch and when he looked at them, he saw sparks at the end of his fingers. He approached and placed himself in front of Draco.
With his left hand, he made a shield appear all around them and with his right hand he expelled all the Slytherins, who had just cast spells, at the other end of the room with a simple movement of the hand. He then lowered the shield and challenged all the others to attack him.
Remus paused in his chat with Sirius, and almost came running.
"What happened?"
"Daddy gave us a little magic show" Lyra explained haughtily, as if he were just a fool.
"How did you do that?" Draco asked.
"Do you mean how do I do that?" Harry asked, revealing a black-colored ball of magic with red highlights in the palm of his hand. Draco looked fascinated as well as everyone else.
"I'll kiss him right now" Harry heard in his head. It was Draco's voice so Harry figured it was probably their psychic bond coming up.
"Do it then" Harry told him aloud.
"Wait, did you hear me? I said it out loud?"
"No, but you're communicating by thought in our day so I think it starts" Lyra replied. Draco nodded, looking totally shocked and lost.
"Harry? Are you going to end up with Malfoy?" The two adults in the room suddenly asked.
"Yeah, it's a long story. Go to the apartment tonight, we will explain everything and we will introduce your children too" The two adults could only nod while the ten teenagers came out of the room, deciding that the class was over for them.
