Draco lightly traced his fingers along Harry's chest and smiled wickedly as the wizard shuddered a little. You've still got it, Draco, he silently congratulated himself. Harry groaned softly and leaned hungrily towards his husband's touch, pressing himself against the Slytherin - only to be pushed away roughly by the taller man.
"Wha - ?" He protested as he found himself being pinned strongly by the shoulders to their bed. Draco raised his eyebrows innocently as Harry wriggled beneath him, clawing at the infuriating man's shirt in an impatient attempt to free himself so that he could ravish Draco properly. He emitted a low growl as the Slytherin teased him with a tantalising murmur in his ear, his hot breath causing Harry to arch his body involuntarily….
With a deft twist Harry reversed their positions, and in the same movement captured Draco in the kind of kiss that should come with a health warning.
"Oh yuck! Parental affection!" Penny Malfoy covered her eyes just seconds after bursting into the room and wrinkled her nose as the two men chuckled. The bedroom door still reverberated from the force at which it had been flung open as the brown-haired girl stood in the doorway. Harry slid off Draco and ruffled a hand through his hair, still laughing at his daughter's comical expression. "Ok, sweetheart, we're decent!"
Penny giggled and let her hands fall from her face. She rolled her eyes. Her fathers always behaved like a couple of teenagers when they hadn't seen each other for a week.
"You should know better than to burst in like that!" Harry scolded playfully, struggling to hide a smile as Penny ran over to leap onto the edge of the bed.
At that, Penny jumped right onto the centre of the mattress, eliciting an oooof from Draco, who immediately scooped up their daughter in a huge bear hug and began peppering kisses on the top of her head while she squealed. "And how's my little girl?" He was thrilled to see her, after spending a long week away from his family.
"Awww, Dad!" she protested. "Stop ruining my hair!"
"What? Like this?"
Draco's strong arms locked around her tightly whilst he ruffled her brown locks until they stood at alarming angles from her head.
Penny squirmed as he proceeded to tickle her. "Dad! Stop it! I'm nearly twelve!"
Harry laughed and grabbed Penny's bare feet, tickling her soles as he had when she was just a baby.
"Twelve?" Draco suddenly stopped and raised his eyebrows in mock surprise. He turned to Harry. "Were you aware of this?"
Penny collapsed in an exhausted heap, catching her breath, and swatted him. "Funny, Dad." She knew that they'd been planning her birthday for at least a fortnight.
"I don't believe it!" Draco whined, suddenly serious for a moment. "Our little girl's growing up…." He was still smiling but there was a distinct note of sadness in his voice, and he held his little girl a moment longer than necessary before freeing her.
"Dad, you're so old fashioned!" Penny flattened her hair and groaned when it sprang up immediately, in the same defiant manner that Harry's still did.
"Hey – less of the old," Draco commented, narrowing his eyes as Harry stifled a snort. "Any more insults like that, and I'll have to seriously consider withdrawing your gift this year." He folded his arms and leaned back lazily, resting on one elbow.
"Gift?" Penny squealed. She rounded on her parents in light of this new information, her hazel eyes flashing. "Tell me, tell me, tell me! What is it?"
Draco smirked in amusement. He had known that that would get a reaction. Harry chuckled as their little girl bounced up and down excitedly. He bent his head to place a soft kiss on her freckled nose. "You'll just have to wait, sweetheart," he teased her. "But I promise - you'll love it!"
