Chapter 6: Oliver's House

After Quidditch Practice Oliver wood flew to the ground, got off his broom, and quietly made his way over to Harry's sleeping form. "I'm proud of you Alyssa, you were good for your dad. Now, let's wake him up shall we." Oliver smiled at his goddaughter, and shook Harry awake.

"Hmm…Where am I?" Harry asked, a little disoriented.

"At the Puddlemere United Quidditch Practice. Har, what's wrong?" Oliver sat down besides him.

"Not here Oli, please? Look, go get a shower and change and then we can go to your place ok?" Harry felt really bad, on top of leaving Draco he felt like he should have protected his son more. He couldn't get over the guilty feeling inside of him.

"Ok, I'll be back in a second and then we'll leave." Oliver left his broom with Harry knowing that it was in good hands and then made his way over to the showers.

"Lyssa, I promise you you won't have to deal with your father. I'm just sorry I couldn't do that earlier." Harry picked Alyssa up and kissed her on her cheek. Oliver returned a few minutes later dressed in a white t-shirt and blue pants. They both apparated back to the flat Oliver owned in muggle London. Once inside Oliver took Alyssa and put her into a crib that he transfigured from a chair. After he did that, he went into the kitchen and made some tea.

"So you going to talk now?" Oliver asked, sitting next to Harry on the couch while the water heated up.

"Draco and I separated, but I needed a place to stay to think things over. Dragon is with my parents because before I left he said that Draco beat him, and that's how he got the cut on his back. How could I have loved a man that was that evil to innocent children? Now that I think about it, I don't think he loved me the way that I did him." Harry started breaking down in tears, Oliver pulled him close.

"Harry, Draco did love you at one point or another, but you have to remember what background he came from. He can't help being whom he is, it's in his nature. I promise you though that Dragon will be safe until you have everything sorted out. You three will be safe, I won't let anything happen to any of you. Do you want to talk to me about it? I'll listen if it helps you sort everything out." Oliver got up to get the tea, handed Harry his cup, and sat back down. He had always loved Harry, it took him until the year after graduation to figure out that it wasn't just because of Harry's excellent skills at Quidditch. It was Harry's personality and drive that attracted Oliver to Harry. He was heart broken when Harry had married Draco, but never the less was happy that Harry was happy.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt. You could give me your input. I think it started when Dragon was four. I had gone to Sirius' for a while leaving Dragon in Draco's care. When I got back, Dragon was leaving Draco's study but he was acting oddly, like Draco had yelled at him or something. It wouldn't have been uncommon since Dragon could perform wandless magic at a young age and was constantly turning ordinary things into dangerous weapons. When I went to go talk to Dragon, he had a huge bruise on the side of his face. I didn't know what to think and when I questioned him about it, he said he was careless with his magic again and accidentally got hurt. Now that I think about it he was always getting accidentally hurt when I was away. It makes sense now doesn't it? I feel like I've been a terrible parent, I should have caught all this when it was first going on." Harry sunk back into the couch, thinking over the past couple years of Dragon's life.

"Harry you weren't a bad parent, if he was constantly getting himself into dangerous situations, how were you to know that he was getting hit? You said yourself he could perform wandless magic, a number of things could have happened when you weren't home. You can't blame yourself, it's obvious that Dragon doesn't. You're a great parent Harry, one of the best. One day I'll prove it to you, I swear I will. When you're least expecting it, I'll randomly jump up and surprise you." Oliver pushed a strain of lose hair out of Harry's face.

"You're too kind Oli, I wish I would have known sooner that you liked me, then maybe everything would be different." Harry confessed looking into Oliver's eyes.

"One day it will all work out, you'll see even if I'm not the guy you end up with. You should get to bed, you have a lot to think about and not sleeping won't help." Oliver got off the couch, pulled Harry to his feet and showed him the guest room. "Alyssa's right next door and the baby monitor is set up in my room so you can sleep. Don't worry about waking up early either, I can take care of her while you sleep."

"Oliver, thanks for letting us stay here. It's a big help." Harry said getting into bed.

"No problem, I told you you're always welcome. I mean it too." Oliver turned the lights off and shut the door. "I love you Harry." Oliver whispered, walking to his bedroom. "No matter what I have to do, I'll make sure you don't suffer because of him." Oliver got into bed, and closed his eyes dreaming of Harry and the family they could have had.

Sirius ended up walking to the room to see what was taking Melissa so long to come back, upon arrival he noticed that the door was open and that Melissa was curled into Dragon's side. "Melissa Black! What did we just discuss not three hours ago?" Sirius yelled barging into the room.

"It's my fault Sirius, I didn't want to be alone, I was afraid that my father might come back. I just asked her to lay with me, we didn't do anything else. You know I wouldn't." Dragon said, popping out of bed like it was on fire.

"It's okay Dragon. I just didn't want you to wake up with my daughter hanging all over you, I wasn't sure if she crawled in without your knowledge." Sirius visibly calmed down.

"Thanks for looking out for me. Is it time for dinner?" Sirius nodded and left the room. Once everyone was seated for dinner Sirius turned back to Dragon.

"Dragon, before you talk to Harry tonight I was wondering what you want to happen between your parents. I'm sure if you wanted them to stay together they would. I'm sorry for the way your father has treated you, you're always welcome at the manor, you know that." Dragon's head sunk a little, then he looked up at Sirius.

"Thank you Uncle Siri, I don't care what happens with my parents, if they divorce then that's what was suppose to happen. I just want my dad to be happy, I want them both to be happy and if that means being apart and seeing other people then I'm not going to stand in the way of that. However, if that happens, no matter what I am not returning to my father on my own. He'd have to kidnap me before that happened. It's good to know that I have more than one save house to go to." Dragon began to eat his dinner again. The dining hall doors burst open and Draco Malfoy rushed through them.

"Give me my son!" Draco yelled, walking up to the table, only to be blocked by James and Sirius.

"Draconis Malfoy, you're drunk, do you actually think we are going to give you your son back when you're in this state?" Lily yelled from the table, standing in front of Dragon. Melissa had snuck out to Floo Harry.

"Yes, he's my son! I want him back, and being that I am his legal guardian you must do as I say." By this time Draco had taken his wand out.

"We don't need to do anything like that. If it's in the best nature for Dragon, we could keep him here for years with your input, as long as it was okay with Harry, who is also Dragon's legal sober guardian." Sirius yelled, taking his wand out along with James.

Melissa had ran into the closest parlor and threw Floo Powder into the Fire…"Harry Potter." Melissa said, sticking her head in. She hoped that it would work in locating him.

"Melissa what's wrong?" Harry asked, climbing out of bed.

"Draco's at the manor, he's trying to take Dragon home with him. I think he might be drunk." Melissa said frantically, trying to listen for any threat of Draco coming to get her.

"Stand back Melissa, I'm coming and I don't want you to get hurt when I get there." Harry pulled on a t-shirt. He jumped into the fire place and was instantly at the manor. "Take me to Draco." Melissa led Harry to the dining hall where Lily had been stunned and Dragon had been backed into a corner with James and Sirius in front of him.

"DRACO MALFOY YOU BETTER EXPLAIN YOURSELF RIGHT NOW!" Harry yelled, drawing his wand and pulling Dragon and Melissa behind him.

"I want my son Potter! I gave birth to him, I raised him, and I'll be damned if I let you take him away from me. You left me, don't you think you've done enough?" Draco asked, putting his wand down by his side.

"No, it's obvious I haven't. Draco you're drunk, you came to get your son when you knew that it wouldn't help your case any when I found out that you had taken him, and you know full well what you were going to do once you got him home. I refuse to let you hurt our son. I have half the mind to divorce you right now. Go home. " Harry's voice was as cold as ice.

"Not with out my son." Draco sneered, he hated being bossed around.

"GO HOME!" Harry raised his wand to Draco's heart. "And don't think I won't do it, I've done it once and I'm sure the Ministry will look the other way if I kill you. Now go." Draco resigned, walked out the front door and apparated home. "Are you two ok?" Harry asked, turning towards Melissa and Dragon. Dragon clung to Harry's waist with tears running down his eyes.

"Don't let him…Please don't let him." Dragon muffled into Harry's t-shirt.

"I won't Dragon. I promise I won't. Do you want to stay here with your grandparents or do you want to come back with me?" Harry asked, pulling a frightened Melissa into the hug.

"Harry there was something I wanted to tell you about earlier today, when Dragon got here, Melissa asked him about what would happen if you and Draco got divorced, and the cut on Dragon's back split open again. We think it might have been because of his magic, but we weren't positive and wanted to let you know." Lily said coming back to reality.

"Thanks, it was probably because his emotions were running high also. I'm sorry that you guys had to witness that, especially you Melissa. I think I'll take Dragon with me, I'm sure Oliver won't mind. Thank you for contacting me Melissa, it was brave of you to sneak off like that when Draco was in that mood, you put yourself in a lot of danger just then. I don't know how I'll ever repay you." Harry kissed Melissa on the cheek and got up. Dragon turned to Melissa then and pulled her aside.

"Thanks Mel. I'm sorry for being so mean to you about the whole sex thing, and I don't want to break up with you, it's just that I want us to be special. I want it to be memorable, and when we're older. Thank you for saving me tonight, I owe you a lot right now and one day I'll pay you back for it, and I promise you'll like it." Dragon kissed Melissa and then went back over to his dad.

"I guess you two made up…again." Sirius joked, pulling Melissa into a hug. He never wanted his daughter to be treated the way Dragon was by Draco. Melissa elbowed her dad to be quiet.

"Har, do you want me to send Remus over in the morning?" James asked, phrasing is sentence carefully.

"If you would. I'd appreciate that, we'd appreciate that. Well, we must be off." Harry handed Dragon some Floo powder and Floo'd back to Oliver's flat.

"We're going to have to share a bed tonight, I don't know where Oliver's other ones are. Are you sure you're okay?" Harry asked looking his son in the eyes.

"I'm just a little shaken. I've never seen him like that unless…well you know." Dragon said, finding the ground highly interesting.

"Look, I'm sorry I didn't figure it out earlier. I think the bathroom over there has a bath, let's get you cleaned up, you'll feel a lot better then." Harry walked over to the bathroom that was connected to his room, placed silencing charms on the walls so the sound of running water wouldn't disturb Oliver or Alyssa. He then turned the water to warm and started turning different taps like he did once in Hogwarts. Once Dragon was settled into the bath tub, Harry snuck out into the kitchen to see if there was any tea left that he could warm up. Oliver, not being able to sleep came out to see who was in the kitchen and why.

"Harry, what's wrong?" Oliver asked, obviously scaring Harry who had jumped and dropped a cup.

"I'm sorry about that Oliver, I didn't mean to drop it." Harry said, bending down to pick it up. Oliver bent down at the same time, placing his hand on Harry's to stop him.

"It's ok, I'll clean it up in a minute. What's wrong?" Oliver asked again, getting Harry to stand up and handing him another cup.

"Draco showed up at Sirius', he tried to take Dragon home. I have Dragon in my room, he's taking a bath. It seems the scar Draco gave him popped open again. Remus Lupin is coming in the morning, I'm getting a restraining order, I don't want him to get hurt." Harry placed the cup on the table, and picked up the tea kettle with shaking hands.

"Here let me get that. What's going to happen to you two though? Are you still going to get back together with him?" Oliver placed the kettle on the stove, and got a tray out so he could put the tea and a plate up cookies on it for Dragon.

"No, that's another reason I'm going to have Remus come over. I hate to ask this, I mean I can always go to my parents house." Harry's question was cut off.

"Harry, stay as long as you like. If you feel safer here than your parents then I don't see why you can't. It's fine, do you want me to stay home tomorrow to take care of Alyssa and Dragon while you're talking to Remus?" Oliver asked, handing the tray over to Harry, who was still shaking with quiet tears.

"No, it's fine, I have to get use to being a single parent. Thank you though Oli, I better get this to Dragon." Harry said, but Oliver stopped him, took the and put the tray down and hugged Harry.

"You can't go see him while you're crying, it will only make him upset. I'm going to stay home tomorrow, you need a friend and I'm going to be here for you. Here I'll carry the tray until we get to your room, that way you don't spill anything, and then I'll come back and clean up the broken cup." Oliver let go of Harry and picked up the tray. Harry suddenly missed the heat from Oliver's body, but didn't want Oliver to think that he was dependant upon his long time friend. Once Harry was back in the room, he placed the tray on the bedside table and knocked on the door.

"Drag, are you almost done in there?" Harry called through the door.

"Yeah, I'll be out in a minute. Dad, where are we going to live?" Dragon asked, coming out of the bathroom.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked, handing him a cup and kissing Dragon on the head.

"Well, it's obvious that you and father are going to get divorced, and I don't blame you, but where are we going to live? I mean we can't live in the same house as father." Dragon said, taking a cookie off of the plate and pretending it was an airplane.

"Drag, stop playing with your food, isn't that a kiddie thing?" Harry joked around. "Oliver said we could stay with him for a while, and then we'll go back to Hogwarts and while we're there I'll look for a flat. Don't worry about it though, we'll find some where." Harry was about to continue but there was a knock on the door.

"Harry is it ok to come in?" Oliver asked through the door. "Is Dragon decent?"

"Yes, it's fine Oliver." Harry unlocked the door so Oliver could come in.

"I found some clothes that Dragon could change into for bed if he wanted. I could make up a room for him also." Oliver walked into the room and placed the folded clothes on the bed next to Harry.

"Thanks, it's up to him on what he wants to do." Harry turned to Dragon, who couldn't look Oliver in the eye, he knew Harry had told him what had happened.

"It's ok, I'll stay here tonight. Thank you for the clothes, you didn't have to." Oliver went back into the bathroom to change.

"He's a great kid Harry. You should be very proud of yourself. I'll get going." Oliver went to the door but Harry placed a hand on his arm.

"I owe you a lot right now Oliver, I don't know how I can repay you." Harry noticed that he hadn't taken his hand off Oliver's arm and quickly removed it. Dragon had been standing by the bathroom door and noticed Oliver's disappointed face. 'He loves my dad, he's nice, and he cares about Alyssa and I even though were not his. My dad deserves him, and I'll get them together in the end.' Dragon thought to himself.

"You don't need to repay me Har, you've saved my life once, and this is nothing compared to that. Sweet dreams Har." Oliver wanted to kiss Harry, but kept his space. After he left Dragon shut the bathroom door pretending he had just left the bathroom and got into bed.

"Dad, what do you think about Oliver?" Dragon asked, turning to face Harry.

"He's a great friend." Harry said staring at the wall.

"I meant do you like him as in someone you could see yourself with?" Dragon took his hands and made Harry look at him.

"Why do you?"

"I asked you first!" Dragon said getting irritated.

"I use to, I don't know anymore. Drag, I just split with your father, I need some time." Harry said turning his whole body towards Dragon.

"If you loved Oliver before you met father, then you would still love him. Look, you said yourself that you and father weren't really in a relationship over the past few months, therefore you should be practically over him anyway, even if he isn't over you, and if you like Oliver, like really like Oliver then you should move now before someone else takes him off the market." Dragon spoke up.

"Drag, go to sleep. We'll talk about this more in the morning." With that Dragon and Harry fell asleep.
