Chapter 2

Hogwarts Year 7

Draco and Harry had the formal Oath ceremony two weeks later, that same night they sealed their Oath with blood, sex and information. Harry, using the marauders map, found an abandoned set of staff quarters in the south tower. Bribing Dobby with treats and socks, the house elf cleaned the rooms weekly.

It wasn't until after the ceremony that Harry learned of one of the flaws in his plans. After a great first experience of taking the Slytherin Sex God, Draco turned to him and said, "Although, I am accepted that our relationship will be public, you must remember not to blame me for the consequences of your plan."

Basking in post clitoral pleasure Harry replied, "And what consequences would those be?"

Smirking his best Slytherin smirk, "Well how the announcement of me being your lover/boyfriend will affect your life. I mean think about how your friends and family will react to you taking your childhood enemy of six years, whose parents are known supporters of the dark as your own, and you being unable to give them a rational reason. Seems to me that might drive them to abandon or doubt you." With that said Draco felt that he had gotten a little of his own back, since he accepted this deal with Potter.

Harry turned and looked Draco in his eyes, right away Harry knew that Draco had realized that this would cause major problems if he were to go public and he had banked on that to keep Harry, quiet. With nothing to say Harry got out of bed and got dress. On his way to the door, he stopped and said, "God, I was a fool to trust you."

Suddenly Draco was serious, "You can trust me Harry, just remember that I am a Malfoy and a Slytherin, it is best to never to humiliate or make us feel inferior. It never bodes well for those that do." And with that the tone of their relationship was set.

Thereafter every weekend Draco found himself in the abandoned staff quarters, for sex and conversation. At first he and Harry took turns being the bottom, though Draco was a Natural top and had to subdue many of his instincts when he was bottoming to Harry. But as time went on, things changed and he found that 99% of the time he was being fucked by Harry Potter.

After a time their meetings took on a strange kind of routine, like clockwork. Harry would show up at 9:00 PM every Friday night after his Quidditch practice. Harry would walk into the room, say hello to Draco and head to the showers where he would wash up, come out naked and beckon Draco to the bed. Draco then would remove his bathrobe (The first time Harry had taken him, Harry ripped his clothes off his back.) lay down and Harry would start fucking Draco. After two hours, or two orgasms each, he would get up, shower and leave.

After Harry left for the night, Draco would get up to take a nice long shower and then go to bed. Saturday morning Draco would wake up early, eat breakfast in the Great Hall, and then go back to the room to nap for an hour or two before studying for his N.E.W.T.'s. Around 11pm, Harry would come back to the room and spend the rest of the night taking him in any and every way. Then before dawn he would wake, shower and leave.

Again Draco would get up, take a shower, clean the sheets and go back to bed. Sundays Draco would sleep in, get up, go to the kitchens and eat breakfast and then go back to the room and study. At first Draco was okay with this arrangement, it wasn't like Harry was selfish partner, in fact he always made sure that Draco found his release several times before he came. But Draco's feelings changed and his showers became longer and longer, as he scrubbed as hard as he could, trying to make himself feel clean again.

But he made this deal and now he had to live with it.

Anytime Draco or one of those bonded to him received letters from home he would immediately share the information that he had been provided with. It was during these meetings when Draco would feel particular dirty: when Harry fucked him after being told some kind of information. It got to the point that Draco sunk into a severe depression, hating this bargain, hating Harry and hating himself.

As Draco continued to break down, it got to the point where he could barely function. The deal had started off well in late September, yet by February he had all but moved into the abandoned quarters, simply needing a place to hide.

Lucius knew of Draco's deal with Potter, because of the many people involved, Harry and Draco had created a very long and detailed Oath that covered every eventuality. Lucius had been shocked when the Malfoy Oath book informed him that it had been updated and read the Oath.

However, he had also been relived. He knew that others felt the same as he did and wanted a way out of Voldemort's clutches, so he began to carefully feel out a few others to help him with his plans. So after reading the Oath Book, Lucius had in place a network of Voldemort's supports that now agreed to support the Potter boy.

Small battles took place throughout the year, and by April Voldemort realized that there must be another spy. When various plans and traps did not ferret the spy out, and his paranoid grew so strong that he began alienating his remaining loyal followers, he decided to plan the final battle.

Thus it came to be that on June first, the day Harry Potter and his class graduated from Hogwarts; Voldemort attacked. The battle was full of drama, pain and death. But in the end Harry Potter, with the help of Draco Malfoy, killed Lord Voldemort. (Although, history books credit the kill to Harry alone.)

During the battle Lucius Malfoy was hit with a curse that was meant for his son, barely surviving, although he eventually made a full recovery. Most of the purebloods that had joined Harry also survived, and presented Harry with a certain rat that they had secured as a thank you gift after the battle.

When Harry and Draco were cleared to leave the infirmary, Harry went to Draco's room. They both mourned their dead, before Voldemort had died so many were lost. Percy Weasley, Dean Thomas, Millicent Bustrode, Cho Chang, Amanda Travers, as well as almost half of the Order members.

Thus while lost in the pain and trauma of death, Draco and Harry made love for the first time. In the morning they both realized that their deal had been concluded, and having nothing else to say, they got dressed, packed and said good-bye.

At the Ministry inquiry, Draco Malfoy and most of the Slytherins were found innocent of any involvement with Voldemort's second war and cleared of all charges. Most of their parents who were associated with the Dark Lord were found to be guilty but with special circumstances that led to them being released with the payment of heavy fines. The Malfoys secretly helped those families that could not pay the fines. These results left the Weasleys, Hermione, and most of the wizarding world upset. But when the Magical Law Enforcement agency and the Unspeakables looked into the matter they grudgingly reported, even though unable to give exact details, that the trials were fair and that those cleared were done so with good cause. In the end people had to be consoled with the fines that were imposed on the guilty, which went a long way to rebuilding their shattered world.

After the trials Lucius, Draco and most of the ex-death eaters faded into the background and were rarely seen. The only one that really stayed in contact with the outside world was Severus, and that was because although he had been delighted to get married to Lucius after Narcissa his wife was killed, through a strange twist of circumstances he became mated to Remus Lupin during the war. This may for an uncomfortable trio sometimes.

Three months after the demise of Voldemort, Draco's health took a turn for the worse and he had no choice but to call on his Godfather to help him figure out what was wrong with him, so he sent his eagle owl to Hogwarts with a quick note asking Severus Snape to come home.

Snape showed up at Malfoy Manor and after greeting and catching up with his husband he attended to his Godson. The cause of Draco's illness astounded him: Draco, who was male, was also very much pregnant. After calling in Lucius they asked Draco who the other father was.

Draco, fearing their reaction, asked them for some time. After thinking about Draco had them swear a very complete and cleverly crafted Wizard's Oath which forbade them from hurting the other father in any way, including preventing them from communicating to the other father or anyone else the identity of who got him pregnant or anything about the child he carried. After both men swore the Oath Draco told them of all the events leading up to him being pregnant. When they heard that Harry Potter was the other father, their first reaction was shock, and their second was murderous rage.
However, Lucius, skeptical as usual, felt something was off with Draco's explanation decided to find out the full truth, and seeing that the oath he took prevented him from approaching Potter and Draco was not talking about it, left with no other choice a week after finding out about his son's condition he confronted Draco with a mild version of Veritaserum, demanding a more realistic father be named. Because of the wording of the question Draco was not only forced to rename Harry as the father of his child but Draco was also forced to confess the truth to his father about the true extent of his deal with Potter and the charm he had placed on the oath book to prevent Lucius from learning about it. Soon the volume of Draco's sacrifice for his family became clear. Lucius was torn between anger at Draco's dishonesty and affection for his loyalty, while Severus viewed the whole thing with a sort of detached Slytherin pride at Draco's successful cunning.

After that incident and Draco's eventual forgiveness of his fathers for slipping him the truth potion; Draco's pregnancy went along normally. The only people that knew of his impending parenthood were his fathers and a Medi-wizard who was bound by his profession from speaking about the blessed event. As time passed, Draco dedicated himself to his child's arrival. During his 4th and 5th months Draco suffered horrible bouts of morning sickness, which resulted in him being underweight, thus sparking off a chain of events that led to everyone shoving food down his throat for the rest of his pregnancy. During Draco's 6th month he found out he was having twins, a boy and a girl. At the end of his 8th month Draco gave birth to two healthy, if slightly under weight, babies.

After discovering his pregnancy Draco had decided not to inform Harry about the child. Draco was still affected by their previous sexual relationship and did not want Harry to be with him out of obligation or duty- he had enough of obligatory sex and forced relationships, and he couldn't stand the thought of even one second more of such tyranny. Thus he chose to bear all the consequences of their time together alone.

However, upon seeing his children for the first time he understood he had greater obligation in life than his own feelings. His children deserved two parents. He also grudgingly admitted that Harry had a right to know about them as well, and to participate in their life if he so chose. So Draco wrote a very long letter to Harry, detailing his pregnancy, Harry's part in it and the news of the birth of the twins. Draco then charmed the letter so no one other than Harry could read it and sent it off. Draco thought he would have a long wait before he heard back from Harry. However, he received Harry's reply the same day and a small piece of his heart died. Instead of a letter telling him that Harry wanted to be a part of their lives the letter clearly stated that Harry wanted nothing to do with him or his problems. Draco understood then that Harry was interested in neither himself nor the twins. Keeping a copy of the letter for himself, Draco sent the original letter along with a copy of the letter he sent Potter to the department of Births and families to be placed in the twin's file.

Afterwards Draco cried for a long time as he reflected on Harry's terse message, it was true he had whored himself for the Slytherins but he had saved so many lives by submitting to Harry. Draco refused to be ashamed of his actions any longer. After reminding Lucius and Severus of their Oaths against harming his children's father, he showed them the letter.

Then Draco put the letter away, accepting Harry's decision as best he could, and moved on with his life. Draco having the Malfoy fortune at his disposal decided that he would not work outside the Manor, instead he stayed home devoting himself to raising his children and learning to run the Malfoy Empire.

Unbeknownst to Draco was the facts that Harry never received the letter he had written him about his pregnancy and the twins and that Harry did not in fact write that the letter he received in answer to his letter. The reason for this was that Hermione and Ronald Weasley. On the day Draco's letter arrived at Harry's home, he was upstairs taking a shower, while Hermione and Ron waited for him in the kitchen. During their wait an eagle owl they recognized from Hogwarts, belonging to Draco Malfoy landed and held out its leg so they could remove the letter he carried. They took the letter from the bird and upon confirming that the sender was Draco Malfoy they tried to open the letter. However, they found that there was a charm on it so they could not read it, after numerous tries neither was able to read the letter, this made Hermione upset since she considered herself an expert at charms. Deciding not to show the letter to Harry in fear that it would upset him they destroyed it before he came down. To ensure that Malfoy did not bother their friend again they sent him a reply telling him what they thought of him and signed it Harry Potter. It was Harry's bad luck that the letter was the prefect nasty response to the news that Draco written in his letter as well as play on all the fears that Draco had.

Things were the hardest for Severus, who suspected that Harry had never read the letter at all, but perhaps had written a response with the letter unopened. He didn't necessarily like Harry, but he knew Harry's thoughts on being orphaned, and felt that he never would have responded to his own children in such a fashion. Of course, Severus was already walking a delicate path due to the men in his life; he was left in an awkward position. On one hand his godson had sworn him to secrecy about his pregnancy, the identity of the father, and the fact Sev himself was the children's godfather as well as Draco's.

On the other hand, he was mated to Remus Lupin, one of Harry's Godfathers, and also the only man besides Lucius he hated lying to. He hated keeping secrets from Remus, but Draco had left him with no other choice. On most days he thanked Merlin that Draco had taken the decisions out of his hands with the oath. The situation would come to a head eventually, and Severus was glad that his actions were clearly dictated, and felt that he was well out of it. So for seven years, Severus Snape lived two very completely different lives.

But then again nothing lasts forever.
