Chapter 17: Draco's Trial PT. 2

"Father, dad said that Mat and I can eat lunch with you. Where would you like to go?" Dragon asked, hugging Draco around his stomach before kissing his cheek. Draco wrapped his arms around his sons shoulders hugging him tightly, before extending an arm to include Mat in the hug.

"There's a restuarant right across the street called McDonalds, we could go there if you'd both like." Draco said, looking out the window and down at muggle London.

"Sure. Are you going to be our father again?" Dragon asked, looking up at Draco. Both Draco and Mat wore confused looks.

"Um babe, he'll always be your father, as in you two have the same blood line and there is no way he wouldn't be your father." Mat said, looking at Draco as if he were on his death bed.

"Dragon I will never stop being your father. I will never stop loving you, and nothing and no one is going to change that. Whatever happens between your dad and I though, will happen and it's not your fault okay? It's mine. Your dad is doing the greatest job raising you, and he's practically doing it on his own and has been for about two years now and he's doing a great job. You are one of the best sons I could ask for, one of four that I have. You were my first son, you were the first child the love of my life and I had together, and that makes you just a smidgen more special then your other siblings, but only about that much." Draco held his fingers about two inches apart. Dragon chucked a bit at Draco trying to make him feel better.

"Well what about Mat?" Dragon asked, putting on a shocked, yet michevious look.

"Well see Mat is my future son-in-law, the first son-in-law that I will have, he is the future husband of my first son, and he is my son's soul mate. Therefore he's even more special because he cares about you just as much as I do Harry, so I know exactly how much love he harbors for you. Now, come on before you make us miss lunch because you want to figure out just how special everyone is and compare them to you." Draco led Mat and Dragon out of the courtroom, up the stairs, and across the street into McDonalds. Once they ordered, they found a seat and began to fill Draco in on everything he had missed.

Chastity, Severus, Cap, and Harry were sitting outside behind the Ministry of Magic, in one of the parks having a picnic lunch Chastity had conjured. "So Harry, go ahead and let everything out." Chastity handed Cap to Severus, who kissed him on his cheek, before making a plate of lunch for herself.

"There's nothing to talk about." Harry tried to sound confident, really he did, but it came out really weakly.

"You just found out your whole family has been cursed in one way or another for the last two years, and you have nothing to say about it? What about Draco? Where is your relationship with him going to go?" Severus asked while feeding Cap.

"You know, I don't know why I use to be afraid of you." Harry said smiling.

"Because Mr. Potter, I was a Death Eater spy, I AM evil reincarnated. You should still FEAR ME! Oh babe, not you, Shh it's okay daddy will never be mean towards you, only Harry." Severus said, trying to calm Eros down.

"Oh yes, that was so scary! I so fear you now! Watch out Satan, daddy Severus is taking over!" Harry and Chastity both started cracking up at the evil pathetic look Snape was giving them.

"Stop changing the subject Harry. Sev did bring up a few good points." Chastity took Cap back from Severus, and he quieted instantly. Snape scowled at that.

"Well, I'm hurt, upset, and furious that my child was cursed and played with. That I couldn't protect him. I feel betrayed that my own friend would curse my family and myself. I mean how will Dragon trust fully in anyone that he doesn't know? I don't think Draco and I can go back to where we were, too much has happened to return to that point. We aren't divorced, but how is our marriage ever going to be the same? It can't, and keeping him tied down to me isn't fair to him. The divorce papers just need my initials, I don't want to see him go, but I don't want to be in a relstionship that's not based on love and trust and friendship. I use to feel safe and protected with him, but now I can't stop wondering if he's pulling the strings on this case, and if he'll turn around and hurt us again, or if this is the end of this mess." Harry explained, moving the food around on his plate with his fork.

"Oh Harry." Chastity handed Cap back over to Severus, before hugging Harry. "You know this is the end of this ordeal, Michael even confirmed that Draco was innocent, that Oliver and Crabbe were behind it all. Don't divorce Draco until you give him another chance, things may end up better then they were, because now you know how much he loves you and the children, and he knows you didn't mean to put him in Azkaban and accuse him, but that you were cursed into it. He'll be more overprotective of you and the kids also, which is a good thing considering you'll have nine of them soon, all but one the age of two."

"What do you think, your a father now, and went through this whole thing with me since the beginning, what do you think I should do?" Harry asked, taking Cap from Sev so that both parents could eat normally.

"Stay with him at least until all this trial mess is over with and you are able to go through all the actual facts. Once the trials are over with, take a vacation, get away, perferrably with Draco and a vacation where you come back. Work on everything, I know Draco is already planning to make everything up to you. Chances are that, yes you can't go back to the way things were, but you could better what you had to create something that's completely new and a lot better. Plus, this would just prove to the whole world what we already know."

"Oh, what's that?" Harry asked curious.

"You love kicking bad guy arse, and more then that you love your family and Draco and nothing or no one can sperate you two. Try though they might, they will never come between you and your husband."

"Oliver already told me all about your relationship and I couldn't be happier for you two, seriously. I just hope you wait until Dragon's graduation to get married." Draco said, finishing the last of his lunch.

"We haven't even thought of marriage yet Mr. Malfoy. We like things how they are now, but we are trying to adopt Melissa's child. See, I figured who better to teach her child about her and raise him or herlike a Black then Dragon. Harry agreed to sign, we just have to convince my parents." Mat explained looking up at Draco from over his burger. He had a whole new respect for the adult Malfoy heir.

"Congratulations, and you know if you need help your dad and I will always be there." Draco said smiling even bigger. "I'm going to be a grandfather! Oh! I'm still too young to even think the of the idea of being a grandfather! You two just made me feel really old!"

"You aren't old! You're only 32! You're young, younger then most parents with eight children and one on the way. You'll be the cool grandfather! You're the most awesomest dad in the world!" Dragon put his fries down and went over and hugged Draco. "I can't wait to bring you home, I've missed you so much. When I remembered, the first thought I remember was you kissing my finger, do you remember?" Dragon asked, holding his finger out.

"Yep, you wanted to pick a rose for Harry for his birthday, you wanted the prettiest rose in the bush. I told you to wait so I could cut it for you, that way I could get the thorns off, and when I went to get my wand out of my pocket, you decided you wouldn't listen to me. You must have been four at the time, it was adorable, you picked the rose and you didn't even notice it had cut you until you looked down at your finger and saw the drop of blood. Your eyes began to well with tear and I didn't want you to cry so I took your hand in mine, and kissed it." Draco did this to Dragon while he was saying it, "and I told you that my kisses had magic healing powers and that your finger wouldn't hurt anymore. I wrapped your finger in a bandaid and kissed it again. Not once did you cry. Well, we better be going back. The trial starts back up in about 20 minutes." Dragon finished his lunch quickly since he was the only one who wasn't done, threw his trash away and followed Draco and Mat back to the Ministry of Magic. Once inside the courtroom, he saw his dad looking a little bit happier, not much but a little bit. Draco went to sit beside his lawyer, and Dragon and Mat went back to sitting behind Harry.

"How was your lunch with Draco?" Harry asked, turning around.

"Great, he said that he's happy for Mat and I, and that we made him feel old because he might be a grandpa though the baby's really Melissa's. I can't wait to have him home again." Dragon said with a sigh of relief.

"You've really missed him haven't you?" Harry asked, intrigued by how easy Dragon was in accepting Draco back.

"Yeah, aren't you? He's been through hell and back. I mean it's not easy staying locked up in Azkaban because some psycho said he'd kill your family. Plus, now that I know he knows what's going on he'll be more aware of his surroundings right? Which makes him even safer to be around. Plus, he's my father, and I love him and I want him around...Don't you?" Dragon asked a little worried that Harry wouldn't let Draco back into the house.

"It's just surprising, with everything you've gone through you'd be willing to have him back in that's all. I love your father very much, and I do want him around, it's just a bit complicated right now okay? Trust me, I'm going to try my hardest to get everything back together." Harry hugged Dragon before turning, standing up, and facing the front as the judge returned.

"Now that we are all fed and have let today's proceedings run through our minds, has our jury come to a conclusion?" The judge asked, turning towards the jury panel.

"We have your honor. We the jury find Draconis Lucius Malfoy innocent of all charges." Draco, though there was no doubt in anyone's mind after Oliver's confession, heaved a sigh of relief that he was declared innocent.

"I knew it!" Dragon yelled, running over to Draco. Draco hugged Dragon tightly, tears falling down his cheeks, he looked over Dragon's head to notice Harry smiling at the two of them, before starting to walk over.

"I guess we should talk huh?" Draco said, looking down at his son instead of at Harry.

"Here, Mat and Dragon can eat dinner at our house tonight. Why don't you two go home, Draco would probably enjoy a nice shower and clean clothes." Chastity said, holding her hand out for Dragon's, Mat's hand in her other. Dragon looked between his parents before taking Chastity's hand and leaving the courtroom.

"They aren't going to get divorced are they?" Dragon asked in a small voice.

"I don't know Dragon...I just don't know."

D/N: Now that Part 2 is out, Kime is taking her break. She thought it would be evil to just keep you all hanging while she enjoyed her break. However, she has already started typing the next chapter. shakes head she just doesn't stop. I swear next month when Danny and Andrew get married (Yep they set a date and told Kime yesterday) she'll be there with a notebook in hand writing! Oh and Kime wanted me to also tell you that her brother and sister said there first words if you put them together it's quite funny, Tabitha's is Bugger off, and Brychan's is Kim. Starts laughing madly Bugger off Kim! Well, Let's answer your reviews so I can stop laughing and Kim doesn't kill me for telling her to bugger off! By the way, Kime was an idiot and forgot to tell you the song in the last chapter was called Untitled by Simple Plan. Also, Judge Sooy is a REAL person as is the lawyer Samuel though obviously his last name is made up. Sooy's real name in case you want to look it up is Walter Sooy Jeffries, or also known as Walter S. Jeffries. My best advice if you want to look him up, is to look up House of Representatives as he was one of them. Or you could ask me, as he's my great grandfather.

Heather: Oh sorry, I didn't know you haven't figured it out yet. lol you must be a very forgetful person. Of course this chapter isn't as cunning...but the next chapter is Mwahahahahahahaha.
