Chapter three

Harry climbed the stairs being none the wiser to Draco's Slytherin tricks. He opened his front door quietly and found Josh curled up on the sofa asleep, Matt was due around later, the two were having trouble finding a place to stay and they often slept on Harry's sofa in return from a little help babysitting and help with the bills, not to mention the groceries.

He tiptoed through the living room and opened the door to the second bedroom and peered inside at the twins who were sleeping peacefully. He then moved into his room, pulled off his leathers and fell into bed and was asleep almost instantly.

The following morning Harry followed his normal everyday routine. He got up and feed the twins, during that process Matt and Josh woke up and cooked breakfast, not only for them but for Harry as well. The twins were then lain down on a play matt where they would keep themselves amused for a while during which time Harry would eat.

He wasn't due to work until that evening at Glitter so he and matt were taking Glory and Gavin to the park while Josh went to work. It was a lot of work organizing to take out the two youngsters but finally they were both strapped in and ready to go.

Matt helped down three flights of stairs and out onto the sidewalk before realising that the bottles that he had prepared had been left upstairs so he ran up to get them leaving Harry very much alone.

"Fancy running into you again" A smooth voice drawled from behind him, Harry froze, not daring to turn around.

"Please just go." Harry said not facing the blonde, it was as if not looking at him would also shield the children from him but Harry was slim, too slim to conceal a double buggy from view.

"Who do the rugrat's belong to?" Draco asked not really noticing the blonde hair on Glory or Gavin's silver eyes. He had always been smart but not very quick on the uptake.

"The rugrat's as you call them are my children. You wanted to know what I was hiding from you, this is it" Draco was silent, trying to absorb the news somewhat unsuccessfully. "Now you know why I left, I want you out of our lives, I never want to see or hear from you again and if any one comes looking for us here from my old life then I'll hurt you."

"Harry …"

"Jay!"

"Fine, Jay, you can't cut me out, they are just as much mine as yours."

"No, they aren't." Harry snapped as Matt came back and eyeing the two suspiciously. "You slept with a number of my friends so you can't say anything about them being yours as well as mine."

"Please …Jay, I never knew …"

"You expect me to give you more chances … no friggin way, just crawl back into whatever hole you came out off."

"I think you should go now mister, jay obviously doesn't want to talk to you."

"And who are you to tell me what to do?"

"I'm his friend, now bug off."

"Those children are half mine and I deserve to see them, whether Jay wants me to or not." Draco snapped, Harry just glared at him for all he was worth.

"Stay away from me and my children, you have never been in their lives and you never will be, where I came from will never affect them, ever."

"You can't deny who they are."

"Watch me."

"I'll contact Dumbledore, I'll tell him where you are, what happened."

"You wouldn't dare, not with the role you played."

"I really have nothing to lose Har-Jay."

"You know what I really wouldn't put it past you to do something like that; you're that kind of selfish person that you'd sacrifice other people's happiness for your own."

"I told you Harry, I loved you."

"Past tense." Harry snapped not realising the use of his name. Matt was looking between the two as they argued. "That is so typical of you, besides maybe you should have thought about your feelings for me before you slept with two of my best friends!"

"Wait, did he just call you Harry?"

"Yes, I'll explain later, just could you take the twins upstairs, I don't want them to hear this. Can you manage on your own?"

"Sorry Jay, I'll take them to the park and meet you there otherwise I'll see you back here in an hour or so."

"Okay, be careful with them."

Harry then turned to Draco and motioned for him to go up the stairs; he didn't want a public show on the road side. Once they had entered the poky flat Draco sat down without being offered and began to speak in his defence.

"I know it was wrong but I was seventeen at the time, I was confused and couldn't understand my feelings. How was I to know that what I felt for you was love?"

"That isn't an excuse, I knew I loved you, I was pregnant Draco, I was seventeen and expecting a baby. How do you think finding out about your dirty little secrets was going to affect me? Did you actually think I'd accept it?"

"No, I never meant for you to find out."

"And that makes it alright?"

"No, but last night, when I saw you I couldn't believe it, I felt the same way I had when we were together a year ago. I will get you back Harry, no matter how low I have to stoop to do it."

"Do you really think that forcing me into anything will make me except you into our lives?"

"I don't know, I'm just so confused. When I saw you last night it was great, but now …"

"You thought it would be great, get together again, no strings attached? Damn shame that you're such an imbecile that you didn't even want to know if I had a boyfriend or other commitments."

"That isn't fair and you know it!"

"You don't deserve fair Draco, not after what you put me though."

"What I put you though? How about when you ran away? Ho do you think I felt?"

"I'm sure you deserved every moment of the pain you felt."

"Since when did you become so bitter?"

"The day I found the love of my life in bed with my best friend maybe?"

"Get over it Harry, it was a year ago, we all make mistakes. You can't just keep throwing that back in my face, you have to realise that maybe, just maybe that the only reason you do is to remind yourself why you shouldn't come back to me."

"Like there aren't a million other reasons not to."

"Fine but I'm not going away, not now that I know, you're stuck with me and one way or another you'll come back to the wizarding world."

"I'll never go back, now get out of my house and if I ever and I mean ever see you again then I will personally make sure that you never see the light of day again."

Draco did not go quietly but fortunately Harry knew his neighbour well, he was a beefy man but he was nice enough and he almost threw Draco down the stairs.
