Chapter 3

Family

When I saw you standing there I finally knew what happily ever after looked like - Christy Ann Martine

He was sitting inside of Celestial, watching as his friends were fluttering around pretending not to know why they were there. It was obvious however, Seamus wouldn't have invited them all to one placed for no reason, and the fact that each of them already knew individually why they were here. They were doing it for the fiery Irishman however, they didn't want to spoil his surprise for them.

It also took Harry's attention off what was happening with himself. Draco was brilliant and it had already been nearly a month since they had connected but they had hit a snag. Their familial bond was not forming and it wasn't with Harry's family. James had met his soulmate and they had bonded quickly, he had to separate them when James had whipped out his baby photo album and proceeded to humiliate him. His father had cackled when he had given Draco his photo of when he had been posing as a child, wishing to be Freddie Mercury.

The problem was Lucius, he was being cold towards him, something that his wife and partner didn't understand. He had to hold Draco one night after he had a spectacular row with his father. He wanted to confront the man, find out what his problem was, but he just kept missing him! He was close to enlisting the help of his godfather Remus though.

He smiled and cheered with the others when Seamus and Dean walked into the restaurant, both of them flushed with happiness. Dean had his hand on his soulmate's stomach, the slight bump visible with the tight shirt he had intentionally chosen to wear. There were congratulations all around as the two sat at the head of the table and accepted it with pride.

All of them chose their meals, waiting patiently knowing Tanith might be busy with how many there were today.

''Oh, I'm so happy for you!'' Hermione, their one friend gushed, sitting with her soulmate Theodore Nott. ''If anyone of us were to be pregnant first it would have been either you or Nev''

''Luna and I are waiting a bit longer'' Their other friend, Neville Longbottom said as he smiled at his beautiful wife. '"We still have the world to see!''

''Still, it's very exciting. I'm sure Fred is going to be happy that he's not alone'' Ron said as he pulled Cormac closer to him. Both of them had also decided against having children for now. Not until they had more stable careers.

''I think out of everyone I will probably be last'' Harry said with a smile.

''Oh no Harry, I don't think Theo and I will ever have children'' Hermione said with a blush. ''Not that it stops ladies from stopping me in the street and telling me my biological clock is ticking'' She said with an eye-roll. Theo chuckled next to her and kissed her cheek.

''My father isn't too impressed either, but he just doesn't realize that we have no interest in it. We are more dedicated to our studies, Hermione will be opening her bookshop soon and I have a younger brother that can take the title. The older generation just isn't waking up'' Theo told them as he took his wife's hand in his and then kissed her knuckles.

''We aren't in a terrible rush either'' Luna's whimsical voice said. ''I want to study magical creatures more and Neville hasn't opened up his Greenhouses yet'' She looked adoringly at her husband who flushed fiercely. ''His parents understand however and are encouraging us to travel before we settle down with little ones'' She hadn't taken her eyes off of her blushing husband and kissed his cheek, giggling when she felt how hot he was.

''I'm still training with the Unspeakables, and Cormac still hasn't come close to achieving his Quidditch dreams'' Ron said as he shrugged, his partner almost on his lap with how close they were sitting. ''It will be dangerous for us to have children now''

''Right now we're just struggling with his father to accept me'' Harry said with a groan. ''His familial bond snapped in place with my father almost instantly. But for some reason, his dad just can't accept me''

''That might have something to do with what happened to them'' Theo said as he looked at Harry. ''It's not a story I will tell you, but I'm pretty sure it has everything to do with that''

Harry just sighed and rubbed his tired eyes, vowing to find out as soon as possible.

He had decided to confront him immediately, he had just finished Seamus and Dean's lunch and had decided to storm off towards Malfoy and Lupin. He was stopped however when he saw that his mother was screeching at the Minister of Magic. He had spent some time with the man, he was his father's soulmate after all, but he was still unsure about the man.

He was standing cool and collected, almost bored, as his mother waved her hands around. Tom noticed him immediately and smiled softly at him, he waved and stepped passed his mother and stood next to him. Lily stopped talking and her eyes narrowed when she saw Harry.

''Harry, darling'' She simpered, he sneered at her in return, causing Tom to chuckle. ''I was just telling Minister Riddle here that it wasn't good for his image to be seen with your father. First of all, because he is a man and second because of how your father treated…''

''Still spreading those lies madam?'' Tom cut her off, Harry was only staring, not the least bit interested in helping his mother. ''Tell me, what will the people think when I tell them that every little thing you said was a lie?''

''They wouldn't believe you'' She said with a smirk. ''Why would they believe a bully like James Potter over me? When I act like a perfect little meek submissive'' She fluttered eyelashes and looked down at the floor, causing multiple men and some women to surge forward to try and protect her.

''Bully?''

''Oh yes, Harry you have not heard the particular rumor have you?'' Tom knew that James wished to keep this detail away from his son, and he would be furious that he had told him but if there was anyone who could dispel this rumor it was his son. ''You haven't heard that your mother accused your father of beating her, forcing her to do things and then breaking off with him because he wished to be partnered with your godfather's and Severus'' The more he spoke the more enraged Harry became. He was sneering so viciously and looked a demon the way he was looking at his mother.

''You fucking dared'' It was whispered, but everyone could hear it. His eyes were crazed as he looked at the woman who had given birth to him. She took a step back, everyone but Tom did, at the deep swell of magic that rose and flowed out of the man. ''My father is a kind-hearted, amazing and patient man. He raised me and taught me how to treat people around me. He loved me''

''He hurt me!''

''HOW!'' Tom placed a hand on Harry's shoulder, sending him calm and soothing magic. ''Because he didn't coddle you, because he didn't let you go to the six dinners you had a month? Because he got mad when you were caught flirting with another man but he wasn't allowed to compliment another woman? Tell me when he hit you, mother. Was it before or after he caught you fucking another man and then proceeded to call him boring!'' There were many gasps when he said this, and they looked at Lily with new eyes. ''Or was it after he caught you slapping me once because I accidentally spilled some juice on your robes?'' There was silence in the street again.

''What?'' Tom asked, his voice cold and his eyes glacial. He nearly exploded with rage when Harry only gave a tiny nod. He almost deflated when Tom pulled him into his arms, and at that moment he accepted it. How could he not accept Tom, he was holding him like he was his son. The way his Father always held him when he was tired, sick or frightened.

''I-I never did that'' Lily said weakly as the people who had come to defend her stepped away, shocked by what they were hearing. ''It was only that once, it was an accident'' Lily pleaded around her, but there was no one to defend her this time. ''Harry, why are you doing this? I am your mother'' She was begging now, but there was a look in her eyes, one that Tom didn't like. It showed that she was still calculating, her mind was going a mile minute thinking on how she could spin this her way. Harry only sniffed and pulled away from Tom, he smiled and nodded at the man before walking away. His back completely turned to his mother and trusting his father's soulmate that he will protect him.

''I don't have a mother''

xXx

He was sitting on a beautiful but very uncomfortable couch, he had stormed into Lucius's office and had demanded that they speak. The older man had only sighed and nodded, saying that he was set to leave and he should come with him to the Manor. He had been shocked by his behavior but decided to follow.

Narcissa was sitting elegantly on the armchair, her legs crossed over one another and wearing a stunning silk blue gown. Regulus was sitting on a matching couch, Lucius next to him. Another man was standing behind Narcissa, his hands on her shoulders. They asked if he wanted his father to come over, but he had decided against it, instead, Severus was sitting next to him. Draco's snow-white kitten, Eira, had placed herself on his lap and was begging for scratches. He was only too happy to comply.

''It was not my intention to reject you, Harry, I think you will shortly understand why'' Lucius said as he took Regulus's hands in his own and held it tight, both of their knuckles turning white. ''Draco is very precious to both of us and we've had to protect him for such a long time that often we see danger when there is nothing''

Harry was about to shout that he would never hurt his soulmate when Severus squeezed his shoulder and whispered listen to him. It was why he had asked for him, he would be a calm presence that he needed when he was listening.

''You must understand Harry, that things were much worse in our day concerning same-sex relationships'' Narcissa whispered, and the men flinched.

''I was thirteen when I knew that Regulus was my soulmate'' Lucius said as he stared at the man. ''But I always suspected that there was something special about him. My parents had hoped for me to match with one of the beautiful Black girls but I wasn't interested. The only person I ever had eyes for was the little boy who would scowl at anyone who wasn't his big brother'' Regulus blushed fiercely and elbowed his soulmate.

''In those days if you were a same-sex pairing your parents would still marry you to someone else and expect the soulmate to be a mistress'' Regulus told Harry. ''But they were still expected to bare heirs with their wife or husband'' The younger man gasped in outrage, disgusted that people would do that. ''My father was one of those people and his soulmate committed suicide because he couldn't handle it. He was never the same again, my mother never got a mark'' His sadness for his parents was radiating from his very being. ''It's why they decided against making us marry into loveless marriages. Sirius was encouraged to be with Remus and Severus and they were very happy when I told them at age six that Lucius was to be my husband.''

''I will never forget that day'' The other man said with a chuckle, causing Regulus' cheeks to tinge pink. ''This small little thing telling us to unhand his husband at age seven when we were just joking around''

''Shut up Rabastan'' Was the pouting reply. ''I didn't have my mark yet but I just knew, I knew he was my soulmate. My entire being told me that we would spend the rest of our lives together'' His sigh was so happy that it was Lucius's turn to blush. ''My parents loved the thought of their baby boy marrying into the Malfoy family so they snatched up the chance to talk to Belladonna and Abraxas''

''They were furious, my father was deeply homophobic and the thought that of his only son being nothing but a faggot infuriated him'' Lucius told him as he pulled his soulmate into his arms. ''He rejected their offer and told them never to come near me again. Regulus was not allowed to be near me, and it doesn't help that I am seven years older than him. My father arranged a marriage with Narcissa, as she had not received a mark by that stage and even if it did he made sure she couldn't break the contract'' Harry looked at the broken woman, and the man who stood behind her, finally understanding who he was.

''It was stupid of course, making him marry a Black'' She said as she rested her cheek on the hands placed on her shoulders. ''He knew that Lucius's soulmate was a Black, yet he was so arrogant as to believe that I wouldn't help my friends. I made sure that the two saw each other every day, and that they got to complete their bonds''

''Lucius didn't view his parents as his family so the familial bonds were purely with the Black's'' The other man, Rabastan said.

''I hated them, hated what they were doing to us and what they were forcing me to do'' Lucius hissed as he looked down at his soulmate, kissing his temple. ''It was hurting us, everyone around us. I was able to postpone my marriage to Narcissa for a few years, by pretending to study magical law abroad to further my horizons, until it was acceptable for me to claim Regulus in our last bond'' Both of them blushed fiercely and Severus chuckled as Harry wrinkled his nose at the thought. ''My father demanded an heir almost immediately, and if he had done his research he would have found a snag in his grand master plan to keep me away from this irritating one''

''I am unable to have children, Mr. Potter, it is why Andromeda and Bellatrix also only have one child. Black's are not known for carrying many children, but I believe a Potter might change that'' She said with a wink, making Harry blush darkly.

''I was twenty-six when Regulus came to me a mess. He was pregnant and he did not want to terminate our child'' He pressed a hand to the man's stomach and a soft smile played on both of their lips. ''We then had our most daring plan yet. Narcissa would pretend to be pregnant. Severus helped us with the ruse, he created the potions as well as the spells, so that no one could accuse us''

''For nine terrible months, I had to pretend everything was fine. It was even worse after I gave birth, do you know how heartbreaking it is to watch someone hold your child and claim them as theirs?'' He had tears in his eyes and Narcissa rushed to his side, pulling him into her arms and comforting him. ''He couldn't call me Papa, he had to pretend that I was only an eccentric Uncle. He didn't understand for most of his younger years and we were so scared''

''W-Would his grandfather have hurt him?'' Harry asked his heartbreaking for his family, for his beautiful soulmate. He took solace in rubbing Eira's soft belly and Severus' hands still on his shoulders.

''We don't know Harry, but we didn't want to take that chance. He tried to set a betrothal up for him with the youngest Greengrass, but her father rejected it and told him to go fuck himself. In those exact words. My father was insulted and tried with a few other Lords, but each of them rejected him. He didn't need to know that I had told them they would regret the day taking that right away from him''

''My amazing soulmate'' Regulus whispered before their lips met in a kiss. Everyone looked away from their private moment. ''We made sure that Draco would be able to live his life with his soulmate. He would not allow what happened to us ever happen to him''

''It's why I am fighting so hard for equal rights. I want to bond with my soulmate, I want people to have the right to divorce, I just want everyone to have choices.'' Lucius said as he looked at Harry, it was when he suddenly felt it, the stirring of magic.

''I understand Lord Malfoy'' Harry said as he looked at the two, ''But please understand that your time to protect Draco is now over, enjoy your time together. His protection falls under me now, he is the man I will be spending the rest of my life with and I will do everything in my power to make sure that we have eternity together'' His promise was loud and clear and they smiled. Harry gasped when the familial bond snapped into place, his second bond with his beloved.

''We believe you, Harry, thank you''

xXx

Tom wondered how badly James was going to react as he stepped into the Manor house, he had seen Sirius, the man had witnessed every single thing that had happened between him and Miss Evans. James had given him a key to the manor a week ago, all excited and giggly that he had someone to share his life with again. He stepped into the kitchen and was greeted with a stare from death himself.

''Hello, dearest'' Was his hissed reply. ''I hope you had a very productive morning''

''James, please listen''

''I told you I never wanted Harry to hear what she said about me!''

''He needed to hear it!'' He thundered, making James stare at him shocked, having never seen him angry. ''Do you think he never would have found out? That his mother never would have caught up to him one day and spun a tale''

''H-He never would have believed her'' He told him softly, frightened at that prospect. ''W-why would he believe her?'' There were tears in his eyes and Tom's heart broke all over again.

''Oh sweetheart, I don't think Harry would have ever believed her, but don't you think he would have been blindsided and she would have used that to her advantage. She would have told him that you were lying to him, that there were secrets you never told him. He would have believed you when he eventually came to you, but do you think he wouldn't have doubts again? I did it in public where everyone could see what she had done, where your son's rage could be seen''

''I-I don't understand'' James said as he looked at the man he was coming to love, trying to understand his reasoning. ''He was angry?''

''He was furious my love'' Tom said with a chuckle, remembering the magic that had poured out of the teen. ''He showed everyone why is considered to be one of the most magically gifted in Hogwarts. Well, since myself of course'' He received a wet chuckle, just what he was hoping for. He leaned forward and kissed his soulmate, running his hand down his leg, where his mark was. ''He told everyone of the time that she slapped him''

''Circe I forgot about that. I remember holding him as he had been crying, too scared to tell me. He lied and said he fell down the stairs'' He pointed to the stairs just outside the kitchen. ''He is a terrible liar, even after spending all his time with Remus and Severus. He probably got it from Sirius, for a Black he is worthless at lying and cheating to get what he wants. But he can guilt his lovers like a pro with puppy eyes and biting his lip''

''That is called sex appeal and being a horny little bastard dear, but finish your story'' Tom said as he ran his hand up James's thigh, picking him up and placing him on the kitchen island. Something between them changed, it went from a fairly terrible conversation to a sexually charged one.

''He had accidentally spilled juice all over her work robes. He was still incredibly clumsy as a child, it got better after he went to Hogwarts. He was carrying a full glass of juice, with both hands and was concentrating so hard. She walked into him, not paying attention to our clumsy six-year-old'' He rolled his eyes, he had always been hyper-aware of Harry, especially when had been stumbling and falling over his shoelaces. ''It was an accident, she had been crying with him, but then she had to get to work and left him crying. He didn't understand why she was comforting him one minute and then gone the next. He thought that he had done something wrong, which is why he lied to me''

''The people around were not impressed and walked away when he said this. She accused you of disgusting things but then did the same? She tried to get Harry on her side again, but he left. Something happened and I felt it, the familial bond snapped into place today''

''Oh, Tom'' James said breathlessly before their lips met in a hungry kiss. He wrapped his arms around his soulmate's neck and his legs around his waist. They were practically mauling each other, they broke apart gasping for air and Tom started biting and kissing his neck. He moved his fingers and James's pants disappeared, he shivered as the cool kitchen island met his flushed skin. Tom loved looking at his mark, loved looking at it on his skin and he could understand completely. After thinking he would be alone for so long after Lily, seeing his Phoenix on the man's back made his stomach always bubble and pool with lust.

They didn't hear the Floo flaring to life, but they did hear the gasp that broke them apart. Tom stepped in front of him and with a flick of his fingers he was wearing pants again. Ron was standing in the kitchen, his hands covering his eyes, the tips of his ears blood red.

''I-I'm so sorry Minister Riddle, James!'' He squeaked, James could feel his humiliation. This was his son's best friend, a boy he had known since he was toddling around with his son. It was embarrassing that he caught them in such a compromising position. ''I w-was looking for Harry! My mother has called all her sons and asked that Harry be there as well'' He peeked between his fingers and when he saw they were presentable again he took them away, but he was blushing fiercely.

''He isn't here right now Ron, I'm sorry'' James said as he adjusted the robe sleeve that kept falling down his shoulder.

''T-That's okay! I-I'll just send him a Patronus! Which is probably what I should have done! Thank you!'' He scurried away, cheeks still flamed. He rushed back in however with a smile. ''And congratulations on your new soulbond, I'm very happy for you. If anyone deserved it, it was you Lord Potter'' He gave a bow, a deep sign on respect, which brought tears to James's eyes.

''Thank you, Ronald''

Molly was looking on the clock on her wall religiously, it was a special clock that Arthur had gifted to her shortly after Ginny had been born. It had all her children's names and faces on it and would show where they were. Every one of her children were pointed 'Home' except for her second eldest, Charlie. She had been saying just five more minutes for the past hour and was close to giving up, but then suddenly it started shifting.

Each of her boys looked at her worriedly when his name suddenly joined theirs and they heard the crack of appiration outside. She so badly wanted to wrap her son in a hug, but she knew it would not be welcome. Arthur inhaled sharply when their son walked through the door, it had been so long since they had seen him and he looked healthy, handsome and happy.

She couldn't stop herself, she started crying, making everyone ask if she was okay and she only wailed when she heard that Charlie was one of them. He took the seat that was his since he had been a small boy, one that had never been filled, like he had never been gone.

''It's happy tears'' She whispered through her sobs and her boys all smiled.

''While your mother calms down, I will speak'' Arthur said as he pulled his wife, his soulmate into his arms and rubbed her back. ''We called you all here today for one reason and one reason alone. And that was to say… Boys, we're so sorry'' He also had tears in his eyes, but he could see that his sons had not expected those words to leave his lips. ''We have been terrible parents to each and every one of you. We let our ignorance get in our way. We let our past control us and we pushed three of you away and alienated the rest. We pressured two of you almost to breaking point'' Both Bill and Percy looked down. ''We made another two feel worthless because we didn't agree with your jobs'' Here Fred and George looked away from them. ''And we made two of you doubt life choices just because we didn't agree with your choices'' Only Ron reacted, Charlie seemed calm.

''We were ungrateful little fuckers'' Molly said, and all her boys gasped, having never heard her swear before, even her husband seemed shocked. ''We-we wanted to make amends, we know it will take some time sweethearts, but we truly wanted to try''

''You infuriated me'' Charlie said suddenly, and all of them looked at him. ''It took me a long time to get over the truly hurtful and disgusting things you said about me, and about Ryuu. But if it had not been for your words I would not have stopped drinking, if it weren't for the hate you spewed I would never have shaken off those drugs'' Everyone except Bill gasped. ''It never would let my beloved make peace with his parents. And most of all it showed me how to be a proper father for my child'' His mother started crying all over again, his father struck speechless. ''I never stopped loving you, I fooled myself into thinking I could hate you but it just melted away'' He was looking for something and then pulled a picture out of his pocket. ''This is your grandson, he is precocious little shit who asks too many questions and glares like a master, but he is a beautiful soul with all of my and Ryuu's best traits'' He gave the picture to his parents and they snatched it up. Staring at their grandson.

He was giving them a toothy smile, it was bright and infectious and they both smiled. He had his father's beautiful golden-hazel eyes and golden blond hair. They stroked the cheeks of the boy in the picture and looked at Charlie, smiling softly at their son and giving him the photo back. He stopped them, however.

''Finally'' Bill muttered under his breath, but everyone turned to look at him. ''It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that knows about my little godson'' He said as he scratched his nose.''Tell them his name'' He reached across the table and placed his hand on top of his brother's.

''Dragos Artur'' Charlie said as he looked at his father, the man found breathing suddenly very difficult, feeling honored that even though his son had not had contact with them for some time, he still named his firstborn after him. ''He would like to meet everyone someday, and so would Ryuu if you don't mind'' He was suddenly very shy and his parents laughed. They wiped away their tears and the others smiled in relief, happy that their parents weren't crying anymore.

''Bill, it is the same for you. We know that you are severely unhappy with Fleur and if you wish you to leave her you have space here to get away from her'' Molly said as she looked at her eldest, narrowing her eyes when he blushed, chuckled and looked down on the floor. ''Bill?''

''I am no longer with Fleur, we haven't been together for over a month. Our relationship deteriorated beyond repair the same day I kicked her out, I think more so because I met someone else and my magic knew that she was wrong for me'' His mother looked at him in a way where he shrunk back, it was a look which was usually aimed at the twins or Ron. ''I met Ares about seven months ago when I was helping Remus at the office. He was stunning, the most beautiful man that I had ever seen and when I spoke to him'' He groaned and his brothers all made noises in disgust. ''So smart, absolutely brilliant. I think I fell in love with him straight away'' He was stuck in a memory just thinking of the day that he had given Ares sunflowers and he had blushed so prettily and stuttered his thanks. ''About a month ago I learned that Fleur had forged my signatures for her own Gringott's card and had proceeded to clean me out dry''

''What!'' Percy shouted next to him. ''Did they sort it out? Do you need help?'' He asked worriedly, looking at his older brother, he stopped however when a large hand ruffled his red curls. He closed his eyes happily, it had been so long since Bill had done that, that he soaked it up like a sponge.

''It's all good Perce, they were furious when the realized it was a forgery. The Goblin who authorized it has been beheaded and I have almost all my money back, she is fighting currently but her family is so disgusted by her actions that they're talking about giving it back to me as compensation for living with her'' He smiled as Percy giggled, the only one understanding what he was talking about. ''I am happy, Ares is a dream and I honestly don't know how I was ever happy with her'' He shrugged as his parents looked at him before they both sighed and nodded.

''George'' They started, but couldn't form the words, not when they saw that he was crying. ''Baby come here'' Molly cried out and he was in her arms almost immediately, he sobbed as she rocked him. Whispering words in his ear that seemed to calm him, Arthur was holding and stroking his hand. Fred was slumped in his chair, just looking at his twin as he was comforted. ''We're so sorry sweetheart, we're sorry'' Was said over and over again.

Ron was also looking at his parents, but unlike the others who were sad and pensive, he looked furious. His ocean blue eyes were lit up with fury and Bill wondered why he wondered what his parents had done to him. It was Fred who went over to him and whispered something in his ear, their youngest brother shook his head and stood up. He left the room and Molly noticed immediately.

''He's going to go get Cormac, Ron is not the one she should be apologizing to'' He whispered as his brother nodded and told them something softly. He stood up and brushed away his tears, nodding at them and then going and sitting down next to Fred again. He seemed lighter, almost as if everything was lifted off of his shoulders. They heard the rush of the Floo and Molly sat up straighter, ready for whatever was coming.

''No!'' Was suddenly shouted from the next room. ''I don't want to listen to what she has to stay!'' Bill truly wondered what his mother had done to Ron's soulmate, and he was happy that Harry had declined to come. He was busy confronting Draco's parents. ''Ron'' Arthur seemed confused by what was happening, so he had no part in what his wife had done. ''Fine, but we're going to go to my mom afterward!'' Was the angry reply and his mother cringed. Cormac stormed into the kitchen, glared at Molly before sniffing and pointing at Ron. His brother chuckled before sitting on his chair and his soulmate fell into his lap and made his betrothed wrap his arms around his waist.

''Ron'' Molly started, but he shook his head and showed that she had to speak to the blond in his lap. ''Cormac'' Cold honey brown eyes turned to look at her. ''I know words…''

''Words don't mean shit without actions'' Was the cold reply before she could even finish her sentence, the others looked at him and then back at their mother. Even his father wanted to know what was going on. ''I won't accept any apologies until you send one to my mother'' Molly cringed.

''What did you do Molly?'' Arthur demanded. He ignored the cold chuckle that rang throughout the room. ''Tell us now!''

''She had the brilliant idea to send a howler to my mother, to tell her that I should stay away from my soulmate'' Ron pressed his head into his back and started rubbing his stomach. ''That just because she was a slut who sired a bastard didn't mean that her son should carry that taint''

''What?'' Arthur roared as he looked at his wife, and everyone shrunk away. Everyone believed that the Weasly temper came from Molly, but it was purely from their father's side, it just took a lot for him to lose his temper. Cormac looked confused however, not understanding why he was so angry. ''Is that truly what you feel Molly? Need I remind you that Bill is considered a bastard because we were not married when you had him?'' Their eldest gaped at him, Cormac also looked scandalized that his mother was judged for something that she had done. ''We do not judge others like that, there are many more of our other family members have illegitimate children. Laws won't be passed on time for George's child to be born legitimate!''

George looked at his father in shock, wondering how he had known, even Fred seemed to be confused about how their father had figured it out.

''It doesn't help that she also encouraged him to look for someone else, and maybe him having mark was a mistake'' Charlie laughed at that, remembering she had done the same with him. ''I can forgive and forget everything she did to keep us apart because I know she did that so that Ron wouldn't be facing any kind of stigma, but I don't think I can forgive what you said to my mother when you don't even know her and why she had me on her own'' Cormac said with a haughty sniff and then turned in the opposite direction of them. Ron was comforting him, and Arthur was spitting mad.

''Cormac, I deeply apologize and I will make sure that Molly sends your mother, Artemis right, an apology'' Ron smiled at his father, and Cormac peeked over his shoulder to look at him, seeing the sincerity in his eyes. Molly nodded vigorously and agreed immediately, which made him turn back to them and look down at his lap.

''Thank you'' Was his soft reply, sagging into his soulmate a little.

''I-I mean it when I say we want to change Cormac'' Molly told him. ''And if I need to apologize until I take my last breath I will do so. Now would anyone want lunch?'' She flushed happily when all of her boys, even her angry husband, started shouting that they indeed did. Even Cormac's soft yes made her happy. ''Now I expect all of you'' She looked at Charlie and then the photo on the table which made him smile ''to please come over and have dinner one night. You can help us with our true mission''

All of them looked at her confused as she started to pull pots and pans out of the cupboard and waved her wand to gather all her ingredients.

''We want to get Ginny away from Harry''

xXx

Harry was lying in bed, just holding his soulmate, thinking about how they had just completed another bond. He didn't realize how fast some bonds could move, as he had seen some move deathly slow. Hermione and Theo had been such a case, Susan and Hannah as well, but it seemed that Draco and he were moving fast like how Dean and Seamus had.

Draco murmured something before shuffling closer to his soulmate, he shivered and Harry pulled the blanket over their bodies. He had come over when his father had pushed him through the Floo and softly told him that he was sorry. Harry had then told him that he had confronted his parents and found out about their story. He blushed fiercely when he had promised to protect him from everything and that everything would be fine from now on.

''Just two more bonds'' He whispered sleepily. ''Can't wait until you're all mine''

''I can't wait for our last bond'' Harry said as he pulled him even closer and slot their legs together. Their lips met in a lazy kiss, which soon became supercharged. Harry rolled on top of the blond, their lips meeting over and over again, it was hungry and passionate and they couldn't control it.

Before Draco knew he was lying in just his boxers, staring up into dazzling emerald eyes that were just looking at him and nothing else. He thrust his hips up and met an equal hardness, both of them moaning at the contact. Harry moved away but he whined in protest, moving up with him. He only gave a tiny nod when the raven-haired man looked at him. He nearly screamed when hips suddenly thrust down again. Both of them were rubbing, thrusting, grinding together when it suddenly became too much.

He was shaking with aftershocks when they stopped, he had experience before, most people experimented if they hadn't found their soulmates yet. But it had never felt this intense, or this perfect, he felt completely numb and sated and it had only been something small. He yawned again and snuggled closed to Harry, smiling when he cupped his chin and kissed him softly.

''I can't wait until we spend the rest of our lives together''

''I hope you're decent!'' Was the shout before James slammed the door open. Draco squeaked and pushed Harry off of his bed and then pulled the blanket higher up his body. James was laughing hysterically at his son, even tears were running down his cheeks. ''Come on boys, get dressed and get your asses downstairs. It's time for dinner!'' He crowed as he left the room again.

''I hope the rest of our lives doesn't include you doing that to me each time my dad barges in'' Was Harry's grumble when he stood up, but he smiled and kissed Draco before he could apologize.

Harry only blinked when he saw Tom sitting at their dining room table, it was the first time he had seen him over for dinner. He was staring at James adoringly as his father waved his arms and told him a story, probably from his Hogwarts years. Tom was much older, he had been at Hogwarts at a completely different time, so he enjoyed hearing about the crazy things.

''Dad, what will Uncle Sirius think when he hears you're telling this story to your soulmate'' Harry said with a smirk, Draco sitting down next to him.

''He will have to live with it since he told Severus all the stories about me'' James said with a pout. ''Hello Draco, how are you, sweetness?'' James asked as he reached over and squeezed the blond's hand, it always made him blush and Harry smile brightly. He loved that two of his favorite people got along. ''Harry, Ron sent you a letter and said it's urgent''

''I'll read it later, promise'' Harry said as their dinner appeared before them, his father always ordered out these days. He looked sideways at Draco, a smile on his lips as he thought of a great idea. He had a schnitzel today, with a lovely mushroom sauce and some fries. James and Draco were chatting happily with each other, so he sighed and looked at Tom. ''Thank you, for today'' He said as he scratched his cheek.

''It was no problem, Harry, she accosted me in the street and expected me to cater to her every whim'' Tom said as he rolled his eyes. ''She had been screaming for a good ten minutes before you arrived and I was close to using a blasting curse on her'' He smiled when Harry took a sip of his drink and drooled it all out as he couldn't contain it with his giggles.

''Oh, I forgot to say! Seamus finally told everyone'' Harry told his father, who cheered and smiled. ''One of my friends finally told everyone he was pregnant, they couldn't hide it anymore'' Harry told Draco, he blushed fiercely when Draco looked down at his stomach and rubbed it. It did all kinds of things to his naughty mind and his father snorted. He hissed when a smack hit his bum and his father put his wand away, he winked however and he pouted. ''I also have my exam coming up, Amelia believes that I should be able to graduate as early as next year''

''That would be your Dueling Masters right?'' Tom asked intrigued. ''I heard some instructors say you are the best they've seen in a while. Draco, you are doing Runes as well?'' The blond blinked and then nodded.

''Yes, I still have a few years left, however. My shop keeps me busy when I'm not doing exams, however'' Draco said as he reached for Harry's hand and laced their fingers together. ''My instructor believes I should have a Mentor soon, however, which means I'm at least a year ahead of the others. He told me that Gringott's might start watching me very soon'' He flushed with pride when both Potter's congratulated him. It was a massive honor to recognized by the Goblins, William Weasly being the last one.

Tom just looked at Harry however, wondering if he should include him in his secret operations. He was powerful, and he had been looking for someone who could one day take over. He looked over to James and saw that he was talking with hands again, waving them around and smiling at the two boys. He hoped to retire one day, spend the days with his soulmate and maybe have one child for them to spoil. He hummed and waved James's concerns away and took one more look at a smiling Harry.

Maybe it was time to plan a future where he could be happy, instead of just surviving.
