Chapter 27

Draco's graduation came, he had been a prefect for two years and despite his disownment, due to his marks had been made Head Boy. His year and housemate Aodhan Urquhart had been appointed the Seventh Year Slytherin boys prefect due to Draco being made Head Boy.

Draco's final year was calm, Harry had been Quidditch Captain since his boyfriend's fifth Year having acquired it from Marcus Flint. Slytherin, of course, hadn't dared complain, Harry was their Champion after all.

Draco gave a speech as expected of a Head Boy, he was not surprised by his sire's absence, but his mother's presence was surprising.

He nearly faltered. But his upbringing prevented it…

He saw she was with his Aunt Andromeda, ah so that was how she managed it. She had permission to spend the day with her sister and Andromeda bought her. He doubted she could speak with him about these ridiculous restraints that a more dominant partner could wield, especially if they were a Lord. Draco had little use for such things and resented that his father would enact such things against his mother.

His mother left soon after he received his diploma, Aunt Andromeda along with her family and his godfather brought him to their favourite French restaurant in Paris to celebrate his graduation.

It felt a bit hollow to celebrate without his mother, but it drifted when Harry smiled at him.

XoooooooX

Draco's graduation present was a trip to Greece. Blaise had inherited a property there and let him stay for three weeks in July.

There were a few prepaid dinners at a local restaurant as well as a few hippogriffs drawn carriage rides.

Draco and Harry spent hours together sunbathing, making love, and playing in the water heated by the presence of a semi-dormant volcano.

They returned for Harry's birthday, where all of his boyfriend's friends came…

Blaise even brought Charlie who had the day off, while Percy was brought by Oliver surprisingly enough.

September drew ever closer and once more Harry and Draco would be separated.

Draco was planning to spend most of his time clerking for a law firm in Paris run by a distant cousin of Fleur Delacour who was surprisingly a distant relation of Draco's. while he studied for the solicitor's exam on the side, his hope was to sit the Ministry bar in three years, but they usually expected four.

Harry had taken courses recommended by his dads and had mostly Os, this would serve him well when he finally made a decision as to his career after Hogwarts.

XoooooooX

Harry was studying for his final NEWT exams when his papa appeared…

At his side was Oliver and the manager of Puddlemere United, Kieran Branagh…

Harry swallowed, rising, "Oliver, sir."

"I would like to officially offer you a place on our team. Oliver has spoken highly of you and what we've seen of your skills is impressive. Provided your schedule is flexible, we would like to allow you to attend our practices to see if you're up to be a reserve seeker for our World Cup team."

Harry had known that this was Oliver's goal for ages, but when the offer came, he was caught duck-footed.

"This is wonderful, isn't it, Harry?" his papa prodded him.

Harry swallowed, "Yes, I just was surprised."

Oliver chuckled, "He's always been rather shy when he's praised."

"A good quality to have in a Seeker." Kieran mused.

Harry was overwhelmed and didn't immediately accept, he wanted to consider his options for a little while.

XoooooooX

Draco was informed of the offer from Puddlemere to Harry to sign as their Reserve Seeker. He had been granted access to the Prince vaults as well as a residency at Prince Hall, also known as Merrivale. Harry spent a few days for the last few holidays there, fixing it up as their future home. He made arrangements with his godfather and Remus to borrow Harry for a weekend to celebrate Harry's offer. He also had an approved surprise from his boyfriend's parents.

He picked Harry up in the common room, having arrived early to spend a few minutes with his younger former housemates like Theo and Artemis.

Blaise was likely helping Harry get ready for their date, Charlie was still visiting when he could according to the letters he had. Draco spent the occasional night here, but given his studying for his solicitor exam, he spent more time at Prince Manor.

Draco earned a rare smile when he whispered his plan for the evening to Artemis under a privacy charm.

Blaise dragged Harry out of the Quidditch Captain's apartment into the Common Room, "Here he is!"

Draco rose from one of the deceptively comfortable black leather settees, taking Harry's hand to bow over it and bring it to his lips.

Harry predictably blushed.

There were some playful whispers and a few sulky expressions, but most of their house approved of Harry and Draco. Draco was a successful Head Boy while Harry was both Quidditch Captain and their former Triwizard Champion.

Draco had a portkey for their dinner, it was once more at their favourite restaurant in Paris.

They took their portkey, arriving in their reserved private room.

Draco had used what little money he had in a trust vault from his godfather to reserve a private room. He ordered their favourites which were waiting for them…

There was the chicken salad they liked, French lemonade, crab garnished deviled eggs, Gougères (a cheese pastry), Salmon Rillettes with fresh French bread and a Tarte Flambée that was a french cheesy bread garnished with bacon and red onions.

These were in substantially smaller portions meant for two, there was also French onion soup with fresh from the oven bread. They were served red wine chicken as the main course, along with splitting a French coffee float known as a Café Liégeois and chocolate crepes for dessert.

Their food was delivered with very little interaction with servers, unlike their usual visits.

They were so wrapped up in each other that they didn't notice that there was a slight difference in the appearance of Harry's lemonade to Draco's.

As their meal drew to a close, Harry's face flamed when Draco moved to kneel beside his chair and took his hand.

His voice trembled, "Draco?"

"Harry, you have always been special to me. I know that we are a year apart in age and that you haven't quite graduated yet, but I wanted to officially ask you to bond with me. Not right away," Draco blurted out, "I want to pass my solicitor exam first. I want you to move into our home as my fiancé."

Harry threw his arms around Draco's neck, kissing him and murmuring 'yes'.

Draco called a Prince house elf and they were delivered to their room at Prince Manor. Draco would spend a few hours taking advantage of the energy jolt from their Café Liégeois to celebrate their engagement.

XoooooooX

Harry's graduation was a bit different from Draco's: he wasn't Head Boy himself and Aunt Cissa didn't make an appearance. That hurt a bit, she'd been a big part of his life…

He accepted his diploma from Professor Flitwick and the congratulatory handshake from the diminutive professor. Flitwick had always been so kind and encouraging, he had always enjoyed his classes almost as much as his dads.

They celebrated his graduation at the same restaurant as his and Draco's engagement dinner. It was a belated celebration of that as well, tonight was going to be his last official night at his childhood home before he officially moved in with Draco. He was truly an adult now, his future plans had been decided.

Harry would fly for Puddlemere while Draco finished his solicitor studies, they intended to marry soon after. Then Harry would retire and apprentice to Flitwick while they began trying to start a family.

Harry just wanted to experience adult life for a while…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?

A/N: This should lead directly to Bound to You, Harry's offer from Puddlemere came in April and his pregnancy is set to be discovered in late June.
