Soulmates. The other half of your soul, a person who was created just for you. In the magical world, every person has a soulmark that leads them to their other half, but not everything is as it seems. Will Harry and Draco be able to live their lives together when society doesn't want them to be together? HP/DM.

Hello all and welcome back to chapter 2 of my new favorite story. I hope everyone enjoyed chapter 1 and you are looking forward to this new chapter! I hope everyone likes it as much as I do!

Before we get started with this story I want to explain one thing. In this story, there are going to be multiple mentions of abuse and I apologize in advance and will give a trigger warning each time. Though this world has soulmates it doesn't mean that every person has the other halves' best interest at heart. The Magical World is also extremely backward so they believe that women are lying to get their way and that men cannot be abused. This does not reflect my opinions at all.

But I am also going to talk about the ramifications that 'believe all woman' has caused. Some people will take advantage of allegations and claim the same even if these rumors are false. This is the case of Lily who claimed that James abused her and that's why she cheated and broke their bond. She had no proof other than her word but she was still believed because no one wanted to doubt that someone would lie about that.

If this is not anyone's cup of tea please don't read this story and then leave a nasty review. It won't be appreciated and is completely redundant as well. To come after stories just to preach fire and brimstone is stupid. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but needless hate is not okay.

Warnings: Mpreg, gay relationships, mentions of physical and mental abuse. Mentions of rape, homophobia, some bashing, swearing. I think that's it, please let me know if I missed anything.

Chapter Two

Starting

My soul met your soul and it hasn't been the same since - C. Churchill

Harry was sitting quietly at the kitchen table, waiting for the kettle to boil. He had a happy smile on his face, thinking about the date he was going on tonight. He already had an outfit in mind, he stood up and grabbed two mugs from the cupboard, completely ignoring the owl that was angrily staring at him. It had delivered a letter that he had promptly thrown into the trash.

He made the two cups of tea and placed one by the other chair as he waited patiently for his father to come down from his room. They usually spent the morning eating together, having a subscription order for breakfast to be delivered to their dining room table every morning. He chuckled when the crash and bangs started on schedule and his father's groaning voice could be heard. He was on alert however when he noticed something different about his father. He was wearing his usual sleep robe and boxers, and that allowed the new tattoo to be seen.

''Dad'' He got a happy hum in reply when his father drank his tea. ''Did something happen with you yesterday?'' His father suddenly paled, looked down at his leg and then up at his son.

''Yes?'' Was the small response. ''I forgot all about this'' He groaned as he slammed his head down on the table and groaned in pain and aggravation. ''I was just so excited that you found your soulmate that I forgot to tell you a new soulmark appeared on me yesterday afternoon''

Harry blinked at his father, he had only heard of a few cases where a person was granted a second soulmate, but those were only in cases where people had lost their soulmate at a very young age. The fact that his father had received another soulmark was extraordinary. He smiled happily as their food appeared on the table.

''That's great dad! I'm really happy that you have a chance to move on from the bitch!'' He grabbed his plate and looked at his omelet. ''Do you know who it is?'' He bit into his food and groaned in delight, starting to eat hungrily as the last time he ate was when he had been with Draco at lunchtime.

''Oh yes, I do'' James said as he scratched his cheek. ''It's Minister Riddle'' He whispered, hoping his son would miss it. The spoon clattering to the table told him otherwise. He cringed when he looked up and saw that his son was gaping at him.

He sighed deeply and then grabbed his son's hand, he started to tell him what had happened the previous day. Harry suddenly gasped and shot up and ran towards the trashcan, grabbing a letter right from the top. He ripped it opened and started reading it, sitting down by his dad again, he started to laugh hysterically and then handed the letter to his father. He found it funny, but his father was both flushed and furious.

''Oh my Circe dad, she's a loon. What did she think I would do? Side with her after five years and beg you to tell your new soulmate that he must back off? Fucking crazy cunt'' He said as he stood up, but his father smacked his butt. ''Sorry dad'' But he wasn't sad at all, he hated the woman that was his mother and he would never forgive her for what she had done to his father.

James was looking at the letter, Lily had written a scathing letter to their son, demanding that he speak to James. Apparently, Tom had sent her a cease and desist letter and if she ever thought of slandering James again he would take her for everything she had. He was shocked that only after one day Tom was already showing the possessive signs that had taken Lily three years to show. He could feel the desperation in the letter, and instead of feeling upset or even angry at Tom, he felt smug that someone was fighting Lily for him.

''Maybe you should write a letter back to her Har. Tell her exactly how you feel'' He said as he grabbed his breakfast and smiled as his son placed another cup of tea in front of him. He laughed when he eagerly asked if he could, having so much pent up aggression towards his mother.

Maybe this time he could actually start fighting back, he had the strength to do so now.

xXx

Remus walked into the offices of Malfoy and Lupin and placed his bag down on his desk. It was still a fairly small office, even though both of the names on the sign could afford more, they didn't want to attract too much attention towards this operation. He sat down and looked at the papers sitting on his desk and then his daily calendar and blinked when he saw that someone had scribbled in that Bill will come to see him at twelve. Meaning that he had to order lunch.

''How is your day looking today?'' Lucius asked as he knocked on the door and then walked in. ''I only have two appointments, but that can change'' He sat down on the other man's desk. ''I think I might get Ares to come in though''

''Make sure it isn't around lunchtime, Bill is coming for lunch'' He murmured as he started to dig through restaurant leaflets. His law partner hummed and tapped his fingers on the table. ''I know that both of them make each other happier Lucius, but I don't want Ares to be seen as a pariah because Bill is emotionally cheating''

''Yes, yes I understand'' Lucius said as he waved his hand. ''But you are running under the assumption that Bill didn't already tell him what time he will be here anyway'' The two men had met over six months ago, but Ares had no mate and Bill was severely unhappy with the person he was stuck with. They had latched onto each other and it had hardly taken any time for them to become close, he would dare say that they were in love with another but were stopped by neither having each other's mark.

Remus sighed deeply and nodded, knowing that what his law partner was saying was completely true. This was why they were fighting in a small office to change Wizarding Laws. If a person was no longer happy with their soulmate they should have had the full right to no longer be with them. Just because they had your mark, doesn't mean that they had your best interests at heart. He also wanted his friends to be able to marry and share their lives together, he was so fed up with his government and if it wasn't for familial ties he would have been in America long ago.

''He's picking him up at five Lucius, does this mean you're going to sit here the entire time and glare at me? Harry is a good boy, James did a fantastic job with him and he will respect and love your boy'' Remus said as he finally found what he was looking for and started looking for a decent meal. He hummed as he picked two and then tapped the order form, sending it off. ''Goodbye Lucius'' He said as he looked up at the prim and proper Lord, mirth dancing in his eyes.

''I know that! I wouldn't trust just anyone with my son! I just wanted to know how serious the Weasly chit situation is? Draco was uncharacteristically angry about the situation''

''She's a menace, but her older brothers will keep her away from him don't worry. Harry will also make sure that he is never harmed'' Remus said as he stood up. ''I have an appointment at the moment, Lord Harrington will be coming in with his father''

''A Pureblood Lord is siding with his child for once?'' Lucius asked shocked. It wasn't something that usually happened, it was almost always the opposite.

''He walked in on what was happening and heard what was being done to his son. He wants his grandchildren out of the house and he wants his son to feel safe again. He's willing to throw whatever weight he has around to make sure that all of this happens''

''Wait, Remus, he walked in on the young boy being…?''

''Yes''

Lucius sighed deeply as he stood up and nodded, going to his own office so that he could call Ares. He didn't want to be in the room when a young Lord, only a few years older than his actual son, told Remus every single sordid detail of what his young wife had done to him.

xXx

Remus closed his door, sighing in frustration and anger over what had happened on the inside. He had to listen to a hysterical son being held by his proud but devastated father, he had to listen to all the disgusting things that had been done to him by his wife, how she had raped him and made fun of him about being erect during the entire ordeal. How she would stub out lit cigarettes on his body and slap him and beat him when he refused to give her what she wanted.

It had broken him and just imagining his own beautiful godson in that situation made him boil with complete anger. He had left the two of them in his office, hoping that they would be better within the next hour or so. He had a woman in the office the previous day talking about how her soulmate beat her on a regular and had started to show disturbing signs towards their daughter, Remus had contacted someone after that and if the young lady suddenly disappeared it had nothing to do with him.

It was lunchtime and he was pretty sure there were two steaming bowls of curry sitting in the small kitchen, but all he wanted was a shot of firewhiskey and strong coffee. He walked towards the kitchen and sighed when he found Bill and Ares standing and talking. They were so close to one another that if anyone had seen them they would have been in trouble. Ares giggled when Bill pulled on one of his wild curls, hair he had so obviously inherited from his mother.

''William'' He breathed into the younger man's ear, he pulled away from Ares as he heard his friend, but it was very reluctant. ''Ares, Lucius would like to see you'' He received a nod and a smile in return. They went into the kitchen as Ares disappeared around the corner. ''Now can you tell me who said you will be coming around today'' He asked as he gave one bowl of steaming chicken curry to Bill and then took the beef one for himself.

''James came over to the annual Weasly dinner last night'' The redhead sneered. ''Ginny had just been telling them hat Harry had faked a soulmate bond with someone and was rejecting her'' He laughed when Remus only growled in response. ''Harry had sent a Patronus to his dad before coming into the dining room and was basically ambushed by my crazy sister. We were all trying to tell mother that Ginny was lying, but she only believed it after Harry finally told her that she had been lying about him for years. Apparently, she believed his mark was a firebolt''

The older man stared at the redhead, shocked that the little chit believed that hid godson would have something as trivial as a broom as a soulmark. He shook his head and took another bite of his delicious food before turning fully to the young man he had come to care for like a son. Molly Weasly truly had done a number on all seven on the children, and the worst part was that she was only noticing it now.

William Arthur was the eldest, their pride and joy apparently, he was an incredibly talented Curse Breaker who worked for Gringott's, one of the few humans that had been chosen. Remus knew better though, he was crumbling all the pressure and his pretty little soulmate wasn't helping either. She was more worried about the money that he was bringing in from his job and how much she could spend.

Charles Ignatius was their second born and what others considered the Black Sheep of the family. He had been a wild child during his Hogwarts years, often in trouble for sleeping with other students and being drunk in class. Bill had admitted that Charlie had struggled with drugs after school and had been on a downward spiral until he had met his own soulmate. But instead of being happy that their son was no longer spiraling there had been a spectacular row at the Burrow because his mate had been a man, a creature to be exact. Charlie had never stepped back into his childhood home again and refused to speak to his parents.

Percival Septimus was their other pride and joy, he was a hard worker who had received exceptional grades in school. He had been working at their Law Firm the past few years and he was brilliant, but from what he understood he had been a right bastard towards his siblings in school and had been working on becoming a better person. He had been married to his soulmate for two years after both of them had promised to work together to become their better selves and mend the relationships they had.

Fred Gideon and George Fabian were two halves of the same coin. Both mischievous and fun-loving, they were loved by many at Hogwarts due to their pranks and hijinks. It all went downhill however when they decided against joining the Ministry and opened up their own joke shop. It was a wildly successful business, but according to Arthur, not a 'real job'. The relationship soured when Fred started bonded with his soulmate, Angelina, and George finally told them that he had been with his own soulmate, Oliver, for about the same amount of time. Their confrontation had been in public, with many onlookers as George shouted that he would never leave the man he loved and would rather disown himself as a Weasly. He had been a witness when George had walked right past his mother the previous week and hadn't even acknowledged her.

After witnessing all the fallouts between his brothers and mother, it was no surprise that Ronald Billius had done everything in his power to deny his male soulmate. Harry had been there when Ron had been caught in a compromising position with an unmarked girl. His soulmate, Cormac, had been inconsolable for some time. But they had been together since then, and Molly was maybe trying, but in his opinion, she wasn't trying hard enough.

He had been one of the many people who had told her that Harry was not Ginny's soulmate, his godson would have told him if that was the case. But he couldn't stand the irritating little girl and had done everything in his power to get away from her. Molly had encouraged her daughter to pursue him, just like she had instructed Ron to maybe see if other people were his soulmate instead of Cormac.

''Were you drinking again Bill?'' Remus asked as he stared at the young man, only twenty-eight and filled with so much rage that it reminded him of himself. ''Let me see it'' He held out his hand and watched as the redhead pulled his shirt up, revealing a very broken and ugly fleur de lis on his stomach. His soulmark with his girlfriend, it had started to warp and change the moment he met Ares. Severus had a suspicion that because of their bond and unhappiness that maybe Bill's magic was starting to reject his soulmate and was trying to get rid of it.

''It started ripping and bits moved away from it a little while ago. She hasn't even noticed, not that she's at home either way'' He grumbled under his breath. ''We haven't shared a bed the past three months either. How close are we Remus, how much longer will I have to be away from her?'' He begged the man.

''I don't know Bill, but I will be doing everything in my power to make sure we have our rights soon''

xXx

Harry was walking down the cobbled streets, he had to grab a new pair of dueling boots as Justin had damaged it by trying to blast him but got his shoes instead. He was so deep in thought that he had not heard someone shouting his name, he noticed however when someone grabbed his elbow and pulled him. His wand in his hand and a curse on his lips.

''Hadrian James Potter I have been calling you!'' He wished he had fired the spell when he saw his mother, in all her glory, standing before him. ''I sent you a letter and I expected a reply!'' She hissed at her son.

''I would rather cut off my arm and never duel again then ever answer to you!'' He hissed back at her. ''I told you five years ago that I wanted nothing, and I mean nothing to do with you. Not after what you did to my dad!'' He roared, almost every person in the Alley was watching them now. And he heard many mutterings about how ungrateful he was for how he was treating his poor mother.

''I am still your mother and you will still treat me with that respect!''

''You were never my mother! The only person I remember in my life is dad! He was the one who read me bedtime stories, the one who healed my wounds and the one who held me when I cried because my mother had forgotten about my cricket match and was more interested in the corporate dinner that she was invited to!''

''She is still your mother-son, and deserves to be treated as such'' A lady eavesdropping said.

''Excuse me, Miss, kindly shut up and don't interfere where you do not belong'' Harry told her as he glared at he, she sniffed in disgust and muttered something about his father. ''I don't answer to you, I don't like you and I don't owe you shit. I have no father, the only person that matters as a parent is my dad. The one you cast aside to become a whore''

He expected the screech of outrage but wasn't fast enough as she raised her hand and moved to slap him. It was stopped, however, and she was thrown past someone. Harry smiled when he saw two of his friends, both of them staring at his mother in disgust.

''You alright there mate?'' Seamus Lochlan Finnegan asked as he walked towards his friend. His soulmate, Dean Andre Thomas, glaring at a shocked Lily. ''We heard some irritating shrieking and figured we would come and see what the commotion was about. Imagine how shocked I was when it was our dear friend'' He slapped his lover's chest when the man snorted.

''Yeah, it's not because we heard Harry's voice now is it my love?'' Dean asked with an eye-roll, chuckling when his soulmate glared at him. ''Busy Harry, our treat for some of Celestial'' Dean said as he pulled his little mate closer and kissed his cheek.

''Something small, got a big night tonight!'' He said as he followed after his friends. ''I was going to tell you guys, but I met my soulmate yesterday''

''Congratulations!'' Seamus crowed. ''It was only a matter of time, but tell me, is Ginny still insisting that you are your soulmate?'' he asked as they walked into the little shop. They were greeted enthusiastically by Tegan. She took their orders and she shouted something to someone at the back. They sat down, eagerly awaiting their lunch.

''Unfortunately, but I believe that Molly might have noticed that she's causing a lot of damage'' He said with a shrug. ''When I went over last night she actually listened to me and didn't start an argument when I told her''

''So it's a man then'' Dean smiled as the other two looked at him confused. ''You said she didn't argue, and if I remember right, the only son's she has ever argued with were those who had male soulmates'' He said with a shrug as a humming Tegan came and brought their drinks. A hot chocolate for Harry, something fizzy for Dean and then a sparkling apple juice for Seamus, which had Harry narrowing his eyes at the pair.

''Yeah, I'm not sure if you guys remember him. Draco Malfoy from Ravenclaw, the same year as us''

''Oh yeah, that snarky little one'' Seamus said with a laugh as he drank his juice and rubbed his stomach. He winked when Harry opened his mouth, probably to deny it. ''He was a right brat Harry, there's no way to hide it, but Luna also said that he was incredibly sweet when others weren't bothering him and that he was actually struggling with crippling shyness''

''Yeah, I figured that's what it was first thing yesterday. He was snarky and an asshole, but he was blushing and stuttering like a fool'' Harry smiled when a bun kebab appeared in front of him. He was starving and bit into it almost immediately, his eyes narrowed again when he saw his Irish friend was only eating a grilled chicken Caesar salad. ''When are you planning on telling everyone?'' He asked them as Seamus touched his stomach again, a soft look on Dean's face.

''Oh, well um'' Seamus seemed to be at loss for words, which was odd for the fiery man. ''We were going to say something, when we hit the five-month mark, just to be safe'' He whispered as he placed his hand on his stomach and kept it there.

''We didn't want to take any chances, not with what levels people will go to, to get rid of homosexual babies'' Dean said with a sneer, even though same-sex relationships weren't recognized by law it didn't stop people from being with their soulmate and doing what magic gifted them. There had been cases before but with the growing number of homosexual relationships it had been seen more and more, more pregnancies were being seen. Seamus obviously some of the latest cases.

''It seems another congratulations is in order, but you should really tell everyone else'' Harry said as he finished up his sandwich. ''So that we could all be on the lookout if something happens'' Attacks on homosexual pregnancies were rampant, and the main reason that others lost their children, but Seamus had a large group of friends who would protect him. Seamus hummed and looked at his partner, seeing if they were thinking the same thing.

''We'll think about it''

xXx

Draco was standing with his father, saying goodbye to Lord Harrington. He had been unable to leave throughout the entire day, his children had even been dropped off at some point, and they had enjoyed Sirius entertaining them for a little while. More then ever he was glad for the parents he had, Alexander's father was trying very hard but he was the one that had pressured his son into marrying the ghastly woman.

''Well that's another day done and dusted'' Lucius said with an audible sigh, Remus groaning behind them. He had wanted to cancel his following day's appointments, but he couldn't do that to the people. They were very close to having enough evidence to go to the Wizengamot to start taking down archaic laws, and if it meant that some changes could be done he would take hundreds more of what happened today.

Draco suddenly inhaled and started coughing when he saw Harry waving in the distance. His father laughed and smiled at him.

''Circe I remember my first date with Severus, Sirius and I had already been seeing each other but we realized pretty soon that there was something missing. I was in Ravenclaw and Sirius in Gryffindor so we were already an odd match, especially because he was the Black heir and I was a werewolf. There had been rumors of course, that we were disgusting and inhuman for even thinking about having a third partner. Imagine their surprise when Severus actually came forward with the same mark as us. We didn't think it would work, all three of us were just so different, but here we are twenty-six years later. I am stuck with a grumpy snake and an overexcited puppy'' Draco watched as he insulted his husbands oddly. ''But I love them, with all my heart and can't even imagine my life without them. I am one of the lucky ones, and I will never take that for granted''

He smiled at Draco as he placed a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it, he nodded at Lucius and then disappeared into his office. Lucius pulled his son close and kissed his forehead. He held his son for a little bit, savoring his Dragon. He pushed him out the door however when Harry was just outside.

Harry was finding it hard to breathe as he looked at Draco, dressed in tight black slacks and a silver dress shirt that seemed to be made out of silk. It made his mercury eyes seem like liquid silver and those white-blond strands hung freely in them. He smiled and then bowed, making his soulmate blush darkly. He held his hand out and Draco placed his smaller hand in his, squeaking when he was pulled forward and a kiss was placed on his knuckles.

Harry was breathtaking, and Draco couldn't stop looking. He was wearing leather, and the blond nearly fainted when he realized, it showed all of his best assets. He was also wearing a white Oxford button-down with the sleeves rolled up. His hair was windswept and he was wearing a black stud earring today. He was beyond sexy and Draco was already weak in the knees. Harry produced a bunch of white roses from nowhere and gave it to him, making him gasp and hide behind them.

''You look stunning'' Harry said as he pulled him close around the waist and kissed him. People were watching them in the streets, but they didn't care because the only thing that mattered was the other person.

''Thank you, so do you'' Draco whispered against the other's lips, goosebumps breaking out over his skin. He moaned and dove in for another kiss, unable to have enough of his soulmate, when Harry's tongue sought entrance to his mouth he was a lost cause. They were probably mauling each other but he couldn't stop, he needed more. They broke apart, however, violently, when his father ripped Harry away from him.

''Daddy, what?'' He asked, breathless. His father, however, was looking at his soulmate as if he were dirt beneath his shoe. ''Let him go!''

''Let my godson go Lucius, but I think that was for the best Draco, you don't want a premature bond-forming'' Remus said as he walked outside of their office. ''Now go on, time for dinner I think''

Harry only nodded and grabbed his hand, smiling and caressing his knuckles.

xXx

They were sitting inside of Midnight Blue, one of the most expensive and premier restaurants in Wizarding Britain. The fact that Harry had gotten them a reservation on such short notice was a miracle, his best friend had been trying to get his wife a reservation here for months now. A menu appeared before them as well as a bottle of wine. Harry smiled as he poured the wine and held his glass out towards his soulmate, Draco blinked and smiled happily before he picked up his own glass.

''To us'' Harry whispered as the glasses met.

''To us'' Both of them had a drink of their wine before they looked at their menu again. They ordered at the same time and then patiently had to wait for their food.

''So how did your Papa take it hearing about your mark?'' Harry asked as he entwined his and Draco's fingers and caressed his knuckles. He so desperately wanted to lean over and snog the life out of his beautiful soulmate but decided against it.

''Oh yes, he giggled for about thirty minutes after finding out. Father was not as amused and was pouting the entire time, even mother couldn't hide her smiles'' He noticed when Harry wanted to ask about his unique family life but stopped himself. ''I will tell you one day, I promise'' He said as he squeezed the dark-haired man's hand.

''We have eternity to talk, so take your time'' Harry said with a mischievous smirk. Draco blushed immediately, just like how he wanted.

''Stop doing that! How can I pretend to be a snarky little asshole when you make me blush all the time'' The blond said as he fanned his burning face with his other hand. ''It's not fair'' He was pouting, but blinked when Harry stood up and leaned across the table to kiss him. Their lips met in a chaste kiss, which was all that was allowed before an older lady hissed close to them.

''I'll have to make sure to tell Hannah that her establishment is filled with homophobic old bats'' Harry said as he sat down again. He turned to look back at the lady who had hissed and smirked. ''I wonder how you would feel when I tell you her partner Susan will make sure that you never get into proper establishments ever again''

Draco was mesmerized, he had seen same-sex partners being chased out of restaurants, his father had told him that he had sued a restaurant when they had kicked out his godfather with his two soulmates. They had been ignored by every single same-sex couple and to a lesser extent their families, after losing money due to the suit and not gaining enough back they had closed their doors. Celestial Rush opened up a few months later and Tegan and her mother Tanith were loved by everyone.

He was about to say something when their food suddenly appeared before them. He had a brown butter risotto with lobster, while Harry had steak au Poivre with some mashed potato and green beans. He hummed as he looked at the food as he took a bite of his own. Harry cut off a piece of his steak and with a sparkle in his eye he held it out for Draco, the blond was blushing fiercely but there was a happy smile on his face as he took a bite of his food. He hummed as the flavors of the steak burst over his tongue, savoring it as he licked his lips. He returned the favor by scooping some of his risotto and then holding his fork out for Harry, giggling when he ate it.

They ate the rest of their dinner in silence, but Draco could feel the sexual tension between them and look forward to the day they did consummate their final bond. He scraped the last of his risotto up and sighed happily when his plate disappeared, Harry's disappearing shortly thereafter.

''Not sure if you're ready for it, but Hannah makes some of the best desserts'' Harry said as he rubbed his stomach, Draco's attention on the taut and muscled part of his soulmate. He licked his lips and looked up into emerald eyes, they were dark with lust and he nearly moaned out loud, only a whimper escaped. ''Fuck Draco, please don't tempt me. We have to make our other bonds first, I can't take you now after just one date. You will be mine, I promise'' He said as he took his hand and placed a kiss on it again.

''I-I would love some dessert, but only if we share. So c-choose and then we can have it. Then you will escort me home'' He smiled as Harry opened his mouth to protest, but stopped him. ''I know we can't complete our sexual bond until the end, but that doesn't mean you can't push me up against the door and ravish me''

He giggled at the way Harry looked at him, but honestly, this was the happiest he had been. And this was only the start of what was happening to them, he eagerly awaiting the rest.

xXx

He was sitting at the table in his home, looking at the bank statements the Goblins had given him. He had tried to use his card to buy sunflowers for Ares, his favorite when the lady had politely told him that it wouldn't go through. He had stormed over to his job, shocked by what they told him and promptly told them to cut his soulmate off and to get his affairs in order. They had been furious when they fond out she had forged his signature, he had left his work having their reassurance that his money will be back and sorted by the end of tomorrow.

He had come home and had opened a bottle of firewhiskey, so ready to drink it all and forget. He could hear his mother and father, calling him a disappointment because he had encouraged Charlie to be with his soulmate instead of telling him to stay away. He could still hear them screaming at each and him being blamed for his brother not talking to the family. He had been so unhappy for so long that he couldn't even remember how happiness felt until he met Ares. He had decided against drinking and had poured the expensive whiskey down the drain.

He heard the door open and close and his eyes narrowed when Fleur walked in with an expensive shopping bag. She was singing as she pulled a pretty dress out and started to twirl around with it.

''I hope that your parents bought that for you'' She jumped when he spoke, his voice dark and icy. She sniffed and placed the dress back in the bag again. ''After all, if it was with my forged Gringott's card then it will be returned shortly anyway''

''I have no idea what you are talking about'' She said as she placed the bag on the ground and then walked towards him. ''Not that you are around to notice anything anyway'' She flung her silvery blonde hair over her shoulder. ''You are only ever at work or with that mangy little wolf''

''Starting tomorrow you no longer live here'' Bill said as he looked towards his Floo. ''Take your things and then get out. I don't think we are suited for one another'' He growled when her tinkling laughter echoed around the room.

''Not suited for one another? Darling, we are soulmates! So for the rest of your life, you are going to be stuck with me. You will have to work much harder if you wish to satisfy me. We will have to get a much bigger house and forget about the children. I won't breed any other little red-headed monsters'' Bill just listened to her prattle on about everything he needed to change if he ever wished to please her. She stopped talking however when he stood up and threw the powder into the Floo and activated it.

''Remus come through, I need you to be a witness to something'' He said softly, his stomach suddenly burning with anticipation. The fireplace flared green and Remus stepped through. His amber eyes swiveled in her direction and she sneered.

''Get this beast out of our housemate'' Fleur said as she turned around, walking to pick up her packages. She stopped when Bill shouted something at her. She turned around, her blue eyes icy as she also felt a burning sensation on her lower back. ''What did you just say?''

''Magic made a mistake the day she chose you with my mark'' His eyes were alive, his speech clear and she didn't recognize him at all. ''You are not my soulmate, get the fuck out of my house''

''I have your mark William Weasly!'' She roared. ''I am your soulmate, you cannot deny me!''

''Strange, you think that you have my mark'' His voice was mocking, and Remus chuckled as he started to unbutton his shirt. Her eyes widened when she didn't see her mark on his body anymore. ''It's gone, I noticed the moment I got home'' She was speechless, there on her previous soulmate's stomach was the tattoo of a Hydra. ''You stealing my money, forging my signature and then demanding things from me was what made it burn off. I was lonely when that marked formed, but now I know what love is''

''Please, I taught you that! You cannot love anyone else other than your soulmate'' She took a step back however when he only laughed, it was dark and it made her skin crawl. Remus moved behind the eldest Weasly and also tossed some green powder into the fireplace, he whispered something and then it flared to life again.

She shrieked in outrage when she recognized who had stepped through. She had noticed that Bill had come home happier and had followed him one day, not happy that he was walking around with dark riff-raff. It didn't help that Ares Magnus Lestrange was gorgeous. He was the son of two prominent members of Wizarding Britain. He had his mother's ethereal beauty and wild raven hair, which tumbled in dark curls down his back. His eyes were a dark midnight blue, stunning and it just added to his dark and mysterious persona. He had no soulmate, but there on his lower left cheek… Was the Tiwaz rune. The one that was on her back, Remus started to cackle as he made himself comfortable at their dining table.

''You're right, I cannot love anyone else other than your soulmate'' He turned to Ares, who was crying. He was twenty-three and had never had a mark, he thought he was going to be alone for most of his life. But there on his cheek was the mark of the man he had come to love. ''I don't love anyone other than Ares, I never loved you at all''

''H-How dare you!'' Fleur shrieked, ''people are going to hear about this! I will tell everyone!'' She grabbed her package and stormed out of the house, vowing her revenge.

''I will see you two soon, okay?'' Remus said softly just before he disappeared through the Floo

The last thing he saw before he left was Bill and Ares holding one another. Ares crying in relief and his Weasly comforting him.

Harry felt like he was doing something incredibly naughty, but he just couldn't care less. Not with how tight Draco's arms were around his neck and how his legs were wrapped around his waist. They broke apart gasping for air and he groaned, moving down to nip and suck at a porcelain neck, hoping he could leave a few marks so that everyone knew who he belonged to. Their lips met in another desperate kiss and he knew, he just knew that he was already addicted to the beautiful man in his arms.

It was a good thing he was holding him because the next moment the door was wrenched open and they stumbled a bit. They broke apart again and looked to who had disturbed them, Harry placed Draco down on the floor again and helped him straighten his shirt again. He didn't care how he looked, but Lucius Malfoy's potent glare made him squirm a bit.

''Oh, sweetheart stop this'' Regulus said as he appeared behind his husband. ''Hello, Harry! Thank you for bringing our precious Dragon back home'' His son groaned audibly and hid his face in Harry's neck, not wanting to see his parents at the moment. Not after they caught him necking it with Harry. ''He is looking a bit flushed though''

''That's it'' Lucius growled as he pulled Draco back into the house, everyone arguing that he couldn't take his son away from his soulmate. ''You are not going to be spending so much time with your damn brother!'' He growled as he looked at his partner.

Harry suddenly burst out laughing as he saw that Regulus was pouting and that Draco was staring at his two fathers with exasperation. He looked at his soulmate, begging him to help him deal with his embarrassing parents.

''You can't ban me from my own brother!'' Regulus said in outrage as he grabbed his son and pulled him into his arms. ''That's like saying you can't snark like idiots with Severus!''

''We don't snark! Your brother, on the other hand, is a moron who makes you giggle and say silly things'' Lucius thundered in return. Harry was trying to contain himself so hard, the two were not what he was imagining when together. He had met them separately, of course, Regulus was his godfather's brother and Lucius was his other godfather's law partner.

Regulus was very calm at times, but he had seen him act silly and childish, it was difficult not to when Sirius was a giant child himself at times. But Lucius was stern and hardly ever lost his cool, yet here before him, he was watching a strange argument between the two men.

''Baby say goodbye to your date, we are going to make some hot chocolate and then you can tell me why a pure white kitten was dropped off at our house a little earlier''

Draco immediately turned to Harry who was scratching the back of his head and looking sheepish. He mumbled surprise, making his father huff and disappear with his giggling husband. Draco surged forward and they kissed hungrily again. They pulled apart when there was a small meow at their feet. Harry smiled and picked the cat up and then placed it on Draco's arm.

''Harry, I know it has only been one day but I already know''

''Yeah, I felt it too. Our first bond snapped into place already, are you worried that it was too fast?''

''I had no intention of allowing this to move too fast, and I will soon tell you why. But I think I won't be able too, I think I'm going to fall very hard and very fast for you Hadrian James Potter. So I hope you're ready Harry because when a Black falls in love they never let go''

He had expected the other man to be scared, maybe even hesitate and just reject the idea, he did not expect Harry to pull him into his arms and then kiss him so chastely and lovingly that Draco knew he would be crying and dreaming about it later.

''That's alright Draco because it's the same for a Potter''
