The love of a child

Chapter thirty – Together again

Harry had of course followed but Severus had apparated out of sight. Harry felt so lost, so helpless, knowing he had family commitments he gave up any thought of going after his husband and decided to return home with Draco.

Leontyne was glad to see them back unharmed and Harry quickly showed her to the guest room where Molly was already asleep on a bed transfigured from a desk (the room had been Severus' study).

Draco remained with Harry a while but soon was fast asleep on the sofa. Harry however wasn't able to sleep, not in there bed any way, not without him. He hovered from his daughter's room to the sitting room, occasionally watching the girls sleep or checking to see if Severus had returned.

At around six in the morning when Harry had fallen asleep in a chair in the nursery his husband flooed in. As he swaggered out of the fireplace it was very obvious that he was drunk. He knocked into the sofa as he staggered towards the bedroom, which stirred Draco from his slumber, at once he sat up wide awake. He was one of the lucky ones, he was a morning person.

"Severus?" He said in little more than a whisper in fear of awakening the occupants of the chambers. He made his way across the darkened room to where the potions master had fallen and then gone to sleep. He looked a wreck and was drooling on the stone floor, his mouth wide open.

Draco levitated Snape into his bedroom and left him there before going to find Harry. He found him in the nursery , the girls were just awakening, he took one by one out into the main room and placed the twins in separate carry chairs and Bonnie into her high chair. He fed and changed each one before anyone else made an appearance.

It was Leontyne and Molly, both were dressed and looking quite cheery, they didn't know what was coming as of yet and Draco thought that it was Harry's job to inform them and not his. "Harry's still asleep, he'll tell you everything you need to know when he gets up."

"Alright, how did everything go…did his husband come back?"

"It didn't go as smoothly as we would have liked it to but he's also asleep, they're just not in the same room." Draco explained, she knew what they meant, it was at this moment that Harry appeared stretching and yawning as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "Good morning."

"Is Severus here?"

"Yes." Draco said, a little disappointed that that had been Harry's first statement of the morning. "He was drunk last night; I'd leave him a while." Then he motioned towards Leontyne and Molly.

"Oh…Voldermort, he wants to see you both, you have three hours with him and then he says he will freely give himself up to whatever the ministry of magic have in store for him, he said the only reason he did everything he did was in anger over his loss of you and your mother."

Harry then without waiting for response or reaction kissed each of his daughter's foreheads before cautiously making his way towards their bedroom. He opened the door a crack and slipped inside shutting it behind him as softly as he could.

"Sev." Harry called out softly as he crawled onto the bed and lay down next to the sleeping form of his husband. "Sev." Harry repeated a little louder, he kept doing this until Snape's eyes opened a fraction; he looked like death warmed up.

"I don't deserve you!" Severus groaned turning over in an attempt to see Harry a little better, it could have possibly helped if he'd actually opened his eyes properly.

"But you have me and despite what you may think I'm not going anywhere, I'm not doing to run of with Draco with or without the girls, you're the only man I want in my love life and I want you to trust that."

Outside Draco was playing with Bonnie while the twins amused themselves on the play mat, Leontyne and Molly had gone to breakfast in the great hall. As much as Draco cared for Harry he knew that it would never be and planned on starting his search for the muggle he had seen in his won vision quest.

Ok I realise that it's short but I thought I had better update and I am practically falling asleep at my keyboard here. Please review xxx.
