Raising a Child
AN: Hey peps! I just had the crummiest day of my life!!! Band camp sucks major ass! I'm in a very bad mood. Mind, I'm writing this on Monday. I was there at my school from 8:00 to 4:00! ARGH! Any way someone reviewed and told me that there was a major Ron/Harry Mpreg called something... I don't care. Did anyone else know this? Did anyone else read this other story from this GangstaGirl or something? If you did can you tell me if she used plagiarism from my story? Please? Cause last time I checked it was not aloud in
Well here is the story... This will be the same day as last chapter but in Draco's point of view. Angst is in this chapter, but you'll see why. Major Plot bunny hopped in myhead.

Draco looked up at his ceiling on his bed. It was six O'clock on Tuesday. He two more hours until he flooed to work. He lay there silent tears running down his face. He was so lonely at his home. His manor really. He lived in an empty manor. His Mom moved to somewhere else. Not being able to bear the memories that were engraved into the walls and floors. He didn't want to leave. There were other things he wanted and one was love. He already did, but couldn't have him. Harry. He gave up a long time ago. Harry was Ron's and knew he was and always will be happier with him. That didn't stop him from being the best of friends with the moody angle. He did all he could to spoil them, to make them happy. Draco looked of course, but every other person wanted sex or money. He was in a relationship now, but had no idea if the man loved him really. Sometimes it was hard to tell. Unless you spit it to their face you couldn't most the time. Draco looked at his clock again and cursed under his breath. 6:37.
He got up and went to the shower room and came out twenty minuets later and got dressed. As soon as he put on a pair of black slacks and a black turtleneck he flew down stairs to eat breakfast.
"Mr. Malfoy, sir? You got a letter from Mr. Wesley." Said a small female house elf.
"Thank you, Serena." He said as he took the parchment she handed him.
Hey Draco!
I was wondering if you could make it to my Mum's tonight for dinner. We're going to tell the rest of the family. It would not only mean a lot to Harry, but to me also.
I'd appreciate it,
Ron
"Master Malfoy, sir. Hurry and put this on or Master will be late for work! Hurry, hurry!" The little elf bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet.
"Oh, shit." He grabbed a daneish from the table and then said to the elves in the kitchen, "You guys can have my breakfast!"
He rushed to the fire and flooed to work. He pulled the robe over his clothes and ran to his office. He pulled out his moneybag as he ran and took out a card and ran it over a blue light as he entered the dungeons of the Potions Lab with out pause. He just sat down at his desk when arms wrapped around him.
"In a rush?" Said the owner to the arms.
"You have no idea." Draco said and turned around. "Aren't you supposed to be up in the Charms section, Johnny Maxwell?"
"Not yet. We have a potion down here that needs us Charm people down here." Johnny said and kissed his lover.
Johnny had stolen Draco's heart almost instantly when they met. Draco had just broken up with a boyfriend who played him with a girl. Instant breakup. Johnny on the other hand was just looking for someone to care for. They became friend then lovers in a matter of two weeks. Even though Johnny was kind enough, with all the heartache he didn't know who to trust other than his closest friends.
"Oh? And what potion would this be?"
"To tell you the truth I don't know. Harry sent me down here and well... he is my boss. He gave me the papers though and taught me the incantation. I'll be fine. I'm used to Harry tossing me into something. Plus the pressure makes me work better." He kissed his lover again, then, "Hey, I also wanted to ask you something. Do you want to go out to dinner tonight? It's been five months. Thought we would have a little celebration. Five's my lucky number." He smiled.
"Sorry, love, but the same Harry your talking about already asked. I'm having dinner with him and the Wesley's. It's a get together thing..." Draco didn't get to finish.
"You're not telling me something." Johnny said teasingly, his long braid of brown hair swinging behind him.
"I'm not aloud to tell, Johnny. If it gets to the paper then we're all in trouble."
"I can keep a secret! What! you don't trust me?" He teased and gave his best puppy dogged eyed look he could muster.
"Hon, I know you can, but..." He saw Johnny's look. "Don't look at me like that. Johnny...Okay!"
"YES!"
"Harry and Ron are having kids."
"Really? About damned time! Even if I did tell Draco, this an't gonna get past Rita Skeeter. Know how she is about gossip. Also people are going to see the weight gain and they'll know he just didn't let himself go." Johnny said.
"I bet they know this, but they don't want it out yet." Draco sighed.
"Well, okay then. Can I meet you at your place at nine? Just stay and do something? Movie or something of the sort?" He pleaded, blue eyes shining in the dim room.
"Okay then. You better get going. I'll see you later." He hugged his lover and got one in return.
"Alright then, bye." Johnny left with Draco pondering what this day will bring.
The day went much uneventfully. He did mostly paper work, which was rare in his job, but his secretary was absent today. Also he tried a new conceiving potion to see what the side effects were. The trick was not to have any at all, but he still got a slight burning sensation in his stomach. He didn't plan on making love anytime soon. He didn't know if that's all Johnny wanted, but it too only lasted twenty-four hours. He also saw Hermione earlier and tried to talk to her, but as she usually was with him, kept quite. David from Harry's office came to pick up papers around lunchtime or so about the potion that Johnny brought down that morning. Later just as his day ended he was called up from the Magical Creatures Department to get books on dragon blood and werewolf fang. He expected to Ron there, but he was missing. No doubt he was picking up Harry to go home. Just as he walked off the elevator he saw a patch of flaming red hair.
"Hey, Wesley! Over here!"
"Hey, Draco. Did you get my owl about tonight?" Ron stated to walk towards him and his books shifted. The top one almost fell off, but he caught it in time.
"Yes I did and just warning you now. If they say anything bad about Harry because of this they will end up in the hospital." He wasn't lying either.
"I'm sure you will, but I want to handle this. You can get them after dinner." He got a playful punch on the arm.
"Oh, alright. Delay my fun." He smiled at the look on Ron's face. "Well, we both should get out of here. See you there." After that he walked away.
He took the books to his desk and stopped. Johnny was in the doorway with a look that could kill. He had a smirk on his face and was leaning on the doorframe. Then he smiled. He went over to Draco reached up and kissed him passionately.
When this kiss ended Draco asked, "What was that for?"
"I needed a kiss and I thought you needed one two. I've seen you with a look in the halls and when you think I'm not looking. Are you okay? Did I do something?" He had a worried look on his face.
"No you didn't do anything. I'm not in that good of a mood today that's all." Draco tried to give a good smile, but failed.
"You're lying. I know you are. Draco if something's wrong tell me and I'll try to make it better. I don't know if you know this, but I love you, with all my heart, Draco. You may not believe me, but it's true. I'll prove it to you hopefully one of these days, but only if you let me. Tell me what you want, Draco."
"Johnny, I want love, but I'm scared. I've been hurt so much I don't know how to trust anyone other than my friends. I'm sorry if this is putting a lot on your shoulders. I..."
"Then I'll give you that till you believe fully in me. Draco, look at me. I won't give up till the day you can say you love me back and not be afraid to say it even if you feel it. Tonight at nine, Draco, I'll be there." He kissed Draco again and left a very shocked confused Draco behind.
Draco, still confused, took out some floo powder from the jar on his desk and went home. Thoughts were going through his mind. Did Johnny really mean it, unlike so many of the others? Did he truly love him? He didn't know, but for some reason he thought he was going to find out tonight. A happy little voice kept telling him 'He does love you! Did you see the look in his eyes when he said that! That he loved you!'. He smiled. Of all the people he dated only Johnny looked him and said to his face that they loved him. No one else ever did that, no one what so ever. He changed out of his work clothes and put on a black sweater and blue jeans.
(AN: You already know what happened at the dinner so I'm not putting it in. So time change.)
After he said good-bye to the Wesley's that were still up and also to Ron and Harry he flooed to his Manor, his empty home. It was six after nine when he gracefully walked out of his fireplace that was in the main living room. He had to grab a hold on the mantel when he got his first look at the room. Roses. Black roses everywhere (AN: I know it's overused, but there's more.). There were white silk sheets covering the floors and furniture contrasting with the smoky color of the flowers. Petals kissed the couch and floors and vases full to the brim with his favorite flower.
"I thought you would like it. I did most of it my self. Believe it or not your house elf Serena suggested the Roses. Told me they were your favorite and that the garden in the back was full of them. Also they have a freezing charm on them they'll last as long..."
"You talk way too much. So how about you shut up and kiss me? Solve the problem wouldn't it?" Draco said and put his hands on Johnny's waist.
"Would, wouldn't it?" Johnny being just an inch shorter pulled Draco slightly down for a passionate kiss.
"I'm amazed."
"Now this is only the beginning. I've got more. C'mere." Johnny took Draco's hand and led him to the smaller living room on the third floor. It had a cozy little fireplace that was disconnected from the floo network so they couldn't be disturbed. There was a bottle of champagne and two wine glasses.
"Those were the only glasses I could find the ones you used on our first date." Johnny said at his side.
"Why didn't you ask the house elves? They would have known what you were taking about." Draco said raising an eyebrow.
"I'm not used to be served like you are. Makes me feel weird." Johnny said sitting down on the couch and patting on the seat next to him.
"I don't think I should drink. I had wine..."
"Thought of that." He handed him a bottle of Sober Potion.
"You thought of everything didn't you." Draco smiled and took the potion.
"Five is my lucky number," Was all he said.
They sat by the fire and they were just fine with the comfortable silence between them. In each other's arms they rested on the couch. Draco couldn't believe that Johnny did this for him. He felt safe here with him in his arms. Now, even though he didn't do much, now he knew Johnny loved him. He did something special, but didn't over do it. He kept it simple and very sweet. Draco liked that.
"Johnny?"
"Mmm, hummm?" He heard him say from above his head.
"I love you."
"Your not afraid to say it?" Johnny shifted to look into Draco's eyes.
"No. For the first time I'm not."
They kissed and it was hot and searing. Burning them, but sending shivers down their spines also. Draco got up and led Johnny to his room and he let Johnny make love to him. This time it felt real. True to the term 'making love'. That was exactly what it was. At that moment when they called each other's name they knew they would never be lonely again.
