Chapter 17
Harry stood in the kitchen with Draco. Draco stared back at Harry his blonde eyebrows almost knitted as he frowned and asked,
"Why is he here?"
Harry replied truthfully,
"I don't know."
Harry called,
"Kreacher?"
Draco told Harry,
"You need to get rid of him."
Harry answered,
"I will, but firstly I need to find out what he wants not going to do that standing here in the kitchen while he sits upstairs in the drawing room."
Draco muttered,
"He's going to tell everyone about my pregnancy!"
Harry took Draco's hand and answered,
"Keep calm, he has no idea that your pregnant and only just showing and it's been hidden by your robes right now."
Harry shouted,
"Kreacher!"
There was a loud crack by the fire place. Loud enough to make Hermione's ginger haired cat jump up and dart under the table. Kreacher bowed loudly and asked,
"You called master Potter?"
Harry answered,
"Yes, We have a guest I would like you to bring tea up to the drawing room."
Kreacher turned toward the pot when Draco asked,
"How is my mother elf?"
Harry didn't respond to Draco calling kreacher elf but he could imagine Hermione's face would be of horror if she heard Draco or any witch or wizard for that matter talking to a house elf in such a way.
Kreacher turned back to Draco and Harry and answered,
"Mistress Cissy Malfoy is doing very well after a rested night and breakfast. She is hoping her son Master Draco Malfoy will go to her room soon to see her. "
Draco commanded,
"Before you make tea for our guest give this baby to my mother and tell her Draco asked her to look after it for an hour and I will be along shortly after our guest has left."
Kreacher bowed his nose touching the floor and croaked out,
"Of course master Draco, Kreacher lives to serve the master of the house of black."
Draco placed baby Rose into the house elf arms and with a crack he disappeared to another part of the house where Narcissa Malfoy must have been hiding. They stood silent for a moment waiting for the sudden screaming noises of alarming anger from the floors above. After a moment of listening for the screaming and angry words.
Harry muttered to Draco,
"Take it she has agreed to your request? You have no idea how hard it was to get him to accept orders from Ron, Hermione and Ginny."
Draco replied,
"Are you forgetting I'm closely related to the black family he have to punish himself if he disobeyed me? Let's get to the drawing room get this over and one with I'm not sure how long mother will put up with Rose if she starts crying."
Harry sat opposite Dean while Draco sat to the armchair to the side with the cushion in front of him. After a few moments of awkward silence Kreacher appeared carrying a tea tray. He set the tray down as slowly as he could and got all the cups of tea to magically hover to each person for them to take. He did this as slowly as possible in the hope of eves dropping. As kreacher slowly shut the door Harry asked trying to sound casual and friendly,
"So, Dean, how can I help you?"
Dean who have been examining his tea cup with the black family crest on looked as if being shocked he been spoken to.
Dean said looking around uncomfortable,
"So sorry to drop in uninvited but I realised not seen you since your accident before last week like us to stay in touch better."
Harry opened his mouth to answer but Draco snapped,
"Okay, now tell us the real reason."
Harry closed his eyes, Draco temper outbursts these days were so unexcepted but becoming much more frequent. a normal Draco Malfoy was terrible on one of his bad days but a pregnant one on a bad day was next to impossible.
Dean took a deep long breath before replying,
"Two days ago I received an owl with a letter from Ginny Weasley, she wrote asking to meet her tomorrow. Only issue is she left no address I've asked a few old friends but no can seem to pin point her address. I know she was living here not long ago. I was wondering if you could help me."
harry answered,
"After our break up she moved out."
Dean questioned,
"She's pregnant with your twins isn't she does that not bother you not having contact to her."
Draco muttered,
"Stop protecting her, she was an evil bitch."
Harry said annoyed,
"Draco please!"
Dean looked shocked from Draco to Harry and asked,
"So you do know where she is?"
Harry sighed and turned toward Dean and replied trying stay calm,
"I'm sorry dean but I can't give you her address. Your best chance is to owl her and ask her for the address."
Draco raised his eyebrows inquisitively and asked accusingly,
"Why are you still protecting her after everything she put us through? Did something happen yesterday when you saw her?"
Harry snapped,
"For heaven sake Draco she carry my twins, I plan keep her safe until the day gives birth. Once the twins are healthy and safe here she can do what she pleases with who she please but her where abouts and how she got there is a story for her to tell."
Draco turned to a confused Dean who didn't know what to make of this conversation he said trying to keep her voice steady,
"Meet Saint Potter, He believes we are the ones who need to protect his ex girlfriend even after she poisoned him and he was a death door for days and held a knife to my throat and would have killed me if he and Weasley had not walked in at the right time."
Dean asked quietly,
"What ? Why? Where is she now!"
Harry sighed and said angrily his voice slightly raised,
"Draco you knew I wanted to keep what happened private until she was out and could speak for herself."
Draco argued,
"Potter, can't you tell why he's here and why he so desperate to see Ginny god damn Weasley? He wants to shag your ex girlfriend who carrying your twins. That is the only reason why he be asking for her after months why he wants to see her so bad after no contact so he might as well know all the shit details if he wants to do that. If he is still willing to sleep with her after the truth then he better man than me."
Dean looked down at the floor now that the attention was fixed on him again. Harry looked at him intensely for a moment. He wanted to ask the question is this true but he knew it was stupid now Draco had pointed, The evidence was over whelming with Dean avoiding eye contact at call costs. He thought about it should he really give this information out? Was this Ginny happily ever after? She would never forgive him for keeping them apart or was he a test to see if he get jealous? He couldn't feel the jealousy monster at the idea of them together like he could every time he lay there and thought of Draco being an escort. He sighed and answered,
"Well I'm happy for you if you two works out, you have my blessing. She in st mungos in mental health unit but it useless you just turning up you need an appointment slip. "
Dean asked looked astonished,
"Mental health? What? Why?"
Draco rolled his eye and answered,
"Merlin's beard I know Gryffindor are not most intelligent wizards but didn't realise they were all deaf too. We have just told she almost killed Harry and almost killed me she a nutter!"
Dean shook his head and argued trying to find reason in the madness,
"No there has to be more to it, she's a kind heart witch who would do anything for anyone, she can't have changed that much!"
Harry sighed and pushed his fingers through his already messy hair. He only did this when he was getting really stressed out.
Dean told them,
"I need to know now."
Harry called,
"Kreacher!"
He came running through the room instantly he had been listening at the door to try and find out what was going on.
he bowed and looked it at Harry his eye bulging,
"Can you please get use 3 butterbeers."
Draco told him,
"Make that 2 butter beers, I'll stick to tea."
Dean looked at Draco who didn't look up where he was sitting and said,
"Once he's explained all of this you will understand why I'm not drinking."
Harry began to tell the story of Ginny poisoning him and Draco filled in the bits that Harry was unsure about leaving out a lot of their love making details this was to explain what Ginny did wrong not a porno.
Harry, Dean and Draco all sat there in silence letting what they told Dean sink in. He looked like he been hit by a stunning spell about ten times in a row. After a very long time Dean asked ,
"Your pregnant? Male wizards can get pregnant."
Draco rolled his eye and drawled,
"I forgot you're a muggle born you know little of our world even after ten years in our world."
Harry sighed and answered,
"I loved her very much and I never asked for any of this but she did almost kill me and if it wasn't for Draco I would have died. My feelings for Draco just blossomed out of the blue. I couldn't go back and forget how I felt let alone trust her again."
Dean nodded slowly. Draco answered,
"You do know you can't tell anyone any of this if the papers ever found out it would be the biggest scandal of this decade and I want to keep people's eyes off this child as long as possible."
Dean nodded again as Rose started crying again Draco sighed and said tiredly,
"She hungry again. I should deal with her."
Harry stood up and answered,
"Yeah I have to get ready for st mungos Teddy will be wondering where I am."
Draco said sharply,
"Harry where is your ring?"
Harry stammered,
"W-What ring?"
Draco snapped,
"Your engagement ring?"
Harry heart sank. He knew it wouldn't take long for Draco to notice it had gone but if it wasn't in the drawing room where on earth was it?
Draco demanded,
"That was you were looking for earlier wasn't it?"
Harry looked at the floor and muttered,
"I dropped it earlier."
Draco shouted,
"Do not bullshit me! You took it off yesterday before going on to see her didn't you."
Harry tried to reason with Draco,
"I thought her seeing the ring would upset her more I wanted to tell her from my mouth. She not in a good way but she's knows now."
Draco told him,
"Harry, that ring is meant to show our love for one another! If you are going to take it off every time she walks near you because you scared or how she will react then we need to evaluate if you really want to marry me."
Draco had tears swimming in his grey eyes. He took a deep breath turned around and walked through the door and out of sight. Dean muttered he should go he had somewhere to be and he could show himself out. Harry knew very much that Dean for running for cover he felt like doing the same when Draco had one of his out bursts.
Hermione showed up shortly after lunch. Harry had ended up eating lunch alone as Draco and Narcissa did not appear so Harry had Kreacher take food up to them.
Harry sat at the kitchen table with Hermione Told her the whole story of Dean's visits and Draco's out bursts. Hermione looked at him with understanding kind look in her eyes but gave him the honesty is key in relationship speech. Hermione went upstairs to relive Draco and Narcissa Malfoy of babysitting duties.
The fire burst into green flames and Kingsley step out of the fire as Hermione left the room. Harry sat up very straight his heart hammering very fast again his ribcage, he had told them he was too sick to work today, and now his boss had turned up in his kitchen. This was not going to end well he thought sadly what a shit end to such a shit day.
Kingsley saw Harry sitting at the kitchen table. He said,
"I'm happy to see you are feeling better Potter".
Harry opened his mouth to say he was still feeling a little sick which he it was now due to fact his boss was standing in his kitchen most likely about to say he had failed his training course and his ambition to be an Auror was about to come crashing at his feet.
Kingsley however did not give Harry time to respond but spoke again,
"Is Draco Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy here? Have reason to believe she arrived here last night."
Harry managed feeling slightly chocked,
"There upstairs."
Kingsley answered,
"Could you get them for us we all had something we need to discuss."
It took a while to get Draco to agree to sit in the same room as him. He was refusing to look in his direction he had not calmed down since earlier. Narcissa Sat on other side of her son looking unconformable to be in such close space to Kingsley.
Kingsley started to speak about,
"I'm afraid I have some rather terrible news to give you which will come to the three of you as a shock I am sure."
None of them answer Harry was sure it wasn't about work anymore he wouldn't not have called two Malfoys downstairs to tell him that he was firing him. He was sure Narcissa would delight in seeing it then being able to say I know you were not good enough for my son.
Kingsley looked up at three people standing in front of them. He took a deep breath and said very bluntly,
"Andromeda Black Tonks has been found dead in her home. I'm very sorry for your loss Mrs Malfoy, Mr Malfoy.
