Chapter fourteen

The following morning they all assembled in the living room, no one said a word, not even when the doorbell rang and Carrie went to answer it. Eyes however were dry this morning, training was kicking in however it was harder on this occasion seeing as it was one of their own.

Harry was snuggled up to Draco in a sort of daze unable to believe that this was happening. Manton came in looking sombre but in his hand he had a wad of tickets in his hand.

"I have your tickets here, five are leaving at the four o'clock flight this afternoon and the others are on a later flight of six fifteen. Drew also has a ticket although I'm not happy about it."

"That isn't your concern" Harry said, "If he wants to go then you should let him." It was the first thing that he had said all day, Draco was stroking his hair in a soothing fashion, Manton said nothing more on the subject.

"A car will be sent for both groups when it is time for them to leave; I wish to give you the best of luck for whatever you pursue once you get home, none of you deserved …"

"Cut the crap Manton, please just leave unless there is anything else that you have to say but don't try and comfort us, all they are is empty words." Harry snapped, Manton looked slightly ashamed of himself.

"No, that is all." He said before turning and leaving.

Everyone looked slightly surprised at Harry's outburst but accepted it. The rest of the day was spent packing their belongings, Harry and Draco spoke to no one but each other during this time and even they didn't say very much.

They were going home, it seemed all a little anticlimactic, the deatheaters were dead, as was Logan, the future was so unclear to them, and they felt so out of control. With the baby on the way it wasn't exactly a good thing that they had no direction to their lives.

"Where are we going to go?" Harry asked suddenly.

"We'll find some place, the Potter's were loaded if I remember correctly, the only family who had more money were the Malfoy's."

"So that means that together we have an astounding amount of money." Harry said, "We could pretty much buy a place any where."

"I was thinking the country, or maybe just outside a small village somewhere, a place where we can hide away and where no one can find us." Draco said as he stuffed a t-shirt into his bag.

"Yeah, I'd like that." Harry said, "Somewhere where we can't be bothered." He concluded as he sat down on the bed and watched as Draco zipped up his bag and then joined him on the bed taking Harry's hand in his own. "When we get back, the first thing we're going to do is go and see a proper medi-witch and book you regular appointments."

"I was going to suggest that, not that I don't trust Carrie or anything but I would like to go to St Mungo's when we get back."

"Which flight do you want to get on, the early one or the late one?"

"I don't mind baby, as long as I'm with you I don't really mind." Draco said as they shared a loving kiss before there was a knock on the door and Clayton appeared in their room.

"Sorry guys but I thought I'd let you know that we've arranged the flights and you two are going on the first flight with Sydney, Trinity and Nicholas. Is that okay with you?"

"Yeah, thanks Clay, we'll be down in a minute." Harry told him giving him a forced smile before he left them to it.

"We should really get moving." Draco said but he made no move to follow through on his words. Harry hadn't really wanted him to either; he tucked a stray hair behind Harry's ears and caressed his cheek gently before kissing him again.

"I love you Draco" Harry told him, "I know it hasn't been long and everything has been kinda hectic with us but I know that do."

"I was wondering when you were going to tell me, I mean I realise that you weren't brought up as others were, you always seemed a little closed."

"Well if I was then you were the one that opened me" Then with a small smile he added, "literally."

They both chuckled but soon fell silent, their hands still joined as they picked up their backpacks and headed for the stairs to join the others in the living room, they realised that they couldn't stay hidden away forever.

However they soon realised that it didn't really matter where they were because everyone was very sombre and no one was really saying anything and Harry and Draco had the decency not to sit and snog for the entire time.

They did however notice that Megan and Drew were cuddled up together on the comfy chair, just sitting comforting each other. It was kind of sweet watching them so as Draco went to make everyone a cup of tea he asked them:

"So what are you guys going to do when we get back?" He asked.

"Just get a place together, live our lives I guess." Megan responded, "How about you and Draco?"

"The same I guess, I'm not going back to the ministry that's for sure, I want to live my life with Draco and our baby." Harry said as Draco returned with full, steaming tea cups for everyone and then took a seat besides Harry.

It was strange for them all to think that they would probably not see each other again, especially after everything that they had been through and experienced together, it was something that saddened Harry more than he would ever express in public or even in front of Draco.

As the car pulled up for the first lot of them so they could get to the airport there was a lot of hugging before they were all piling in and on there way, ten minutes behind schedule and a little teared up.

However they made it to the airport in good time and spent a while browsing the duty free shops, buying things that they didn't really need and trying to get back to themselves, it wasn't as if they had never dealt with death before, they had all killed by the time they were thirteen, for some earlier.

When on the plane Harry and Draco began discussing what they would be doing once they landed and had left the airport. "I suppose we'll have to go back to the ministry until we buy a place of our own." Harry said, he hadn't wanted to go back at all unless it was completely unavoidable.

"Unless we go back to the manor for a while" Draco suggested, Harry who had no idea what the manor was asked him to explain. "Oh, it's Malfoy Manor, it's huge and I hate it but the ministry sounds worse, we'll house hunt tomorrow, it's not as if we have anything else to do."

"That's true and I would rather move in sooner so there is no stress on you whatsoever when you start to show." Harry said smiling and placing a hand on Draco's flat stomach and kissed him.

"I know that you want the best for our baby as do I but you have to stop worrying so much, if we have any problems then we will deal with them when they come up, I want to be treated like a normal human being who is carrying a child not someone who is terminal and could drop dead any minute."

"I'll try but this is all really new to me, I never thought that I would be in this position, I seriously thought that I would spend the rest of my life working for the ministry as an Allure and now I'm going to quit whether they like it or not and live a normal life with my boyfriend and child."

"It's a big step." Draco admitted, his hand was resting over Harry's now, which still remained on his stomach, it felt nice, soothing almost to have that pressure there.

"So we'll move into Malfoy manor for at most a couple days if that's okay with you, I mean if you don't want to go back there then I don't mind."

"Well we won't be staying there long just until we get ourselves sorted, I would never allow any child of mine to be raised in those walls."

"Its just bricks and mortar, it's just a house honey, not that I would ever want to live in something as big but there you go."

"It has too many memories for me, I don't think that I could stand it, I'd see my father wherever that I went, my mother, what they did, to each other and to me."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"One day maybe but right now you have your own problems to deal with, don't worry, I'll tell you soon if you really want to know but I don't want to go into it right now."

"Okay, whatever you want honey."

When they arrived back in England however their was a car waiting to take them all to the ministry, Harry looked at it with distaste, in a split second he made the decision not to get in and instead he drew close to Draco and together they apparated away to Malfoy manor where they would rest and rejuvenate before going to look for the perfect house so that they could begin their lives together.

I have a sequel planed don't worry, though it may be a while, depends what mood I'm in to be honest but I will try to have it out soon. And just because this is the last chapter doesn't mean you can't leave a nice review. The more I get the quicker the sequel comes out.
