Chapter 34
Harry lay awake his double bed staring at the celling. He had barely slept two hours. It was his first night he had left Draco's hospital bedside for his own bed. Draco was being made to stay in much to his disgust and wasn't afraid to make as much of a scene as possible to show his feeling on the matter. He always loved it when Ginny was away with her quidditch team so he could have their double bed all to himself, but the bed felt empty without Draco next to him. He had not slept alone in over five months, since they gotten together. He wanted Draco next to him just to put his arms around, but he also wanted to strangle the life out of him. It took Draco five months to tell him that this wasn't his first pregnancy. Why was he keeping secret five months later? He wanted to scream and throw something but that wouldn't solved the issues just caused another by waking a two and half months old Rose up in the next room (Hermione and Ron had refused to leave him alone).
He sighed and look at his alarm clock once more. The big red letters read 3.04am. He sat up and groaned his ribs still caused him grief from time to time. Draco always told him he was getting old before his time. What he needed was sleeping potion, but he had run out he have to have a painless potion and hot chocolate and see if he could sleep then.
Has he reached the basement kitchen; He noticed the light was already on. He rounded the corner to see Narcissa Malfoy sitting at the table nursing what clearly wasn't her first fire whisky. She looked up as he entered before returning to her drink.
Harry asked,
"Can't sleep either?"
Narcissa hiccupped before answering,
"I never can these day since Andromeda died. Want one?"
Harry did consider the offer for a moment before coming to his senses. He knew very well he couldn't stick to just one, he wouldn't stop until the bottle was gone or he passed out whichever came first, especially with what he was dealing with lately.
He answered,
"You do realise you are offering to a recovering alcoholic?"
Narcissa snorted and replied,
"That did not stop from making a fool of yourself at Draco's birthday party."
Harry sighed and answered,
"That was a very difficult night for me. That fake engagement to Astoria was tearing me apart and I learnt an important lesson."
Narcissa tone became colder as she argued back,
"So my son laying in hospital bed, carrying your child isn't tearing you apart? If was the other way around Draco would have chain smoked two packets of cigarettes by now!"
Harry could feel his blood starting to boil. He took a deep breath and reminded himself that she was drunk and in the mood for an augment it was best to walk away.
He turned to the cabinet and started searching for the painless potion to stop his ribs from hurting so much. Narcissa who was clearly in the mood for a fight snapped,
"Oh that fine, you cause all these problems and then you ignore this because death eater families don't have hearts and souls."
Harry stood up straight again and asked,
"What problems have I caused you?"
Narcissa who voice was rising with each word,
"You want a list do you? You wouldn't let him be with Astoria for one year to create an heir! You are the reason Astoria slept with my husband and I no longer have a husband. They killed Andromeda to get back at me because of your actions!"
Harry knew he shouldn't react to her accusations. She was very clearly drunk the way she was slurring her words and upset. Harry answered back angrily,
"I pushed Draco away. I told him to marry Astoria and I would leave him alone. He couldn't marry her knowing she had been sleeping with Lucius. Draco couldn't love or learn to after what he saw. He did the right thing. If wasn't Astoria it would been different women, if someone wants to cheat, they will! I'm sorry your life and Draco's has spiralled out of control, but I've done everything to make it as easy as possible. I've given you both a roof, I've given you both a shoulder to cry on, I even stood up for you against my best friend who is like my brother! "
Narcissa yelled with tears streaming down her face,
"Well if it wasn't for your best friend who is like a brother's wedding Draco wouldn't be in a hospital bed. And if wasn't for you, he wouldn't be almost killing himself trying to give you a child. His body can't cope!"
Harry shouted back,
"If I had not met Draco, Lucius would still have been connected to the dark lord, He would still have been defeated, The Malfoy name would have still been dragged through the mud! Lucius still would have cheated on you with someone sooner or later because Draco would still been gay and unable to carry on the line himself. I am the one who stopped you being homeless, gave you a chance to talk to your sister and we are even giving you this house when we move into Malfoy manor! I almost lost my adoptive family for you both and you both continue to keep secrets from me like I cannot be trusted. You knew he been pregnant before, how old was he when you let Voldemort knock him up? Seventeen or even younger? I'm sick of feeling like I'm living in a soap opera!"
Narcissa looked like she been slapped around the face with this outburst. Harry knew he'd hit some very sore spots, but he also had not slept for days he wasn't about to let her throw everything he done for her and Draco in the last five months be thrown in his face.
There was a small cough at the door. Harry turned around to find Hermione appeared at the door in a purple nightdress her arms folded, her brown eyes narrowed in disapproval. She said in her bossiest voice,
"Do you mind keep your voices down, You are screaming at each other like you're at opposite ends of a quidditch pitch. I have a sleeping baby upstairs and Ron has work tomorrow. You both need to grow up and realise what's important, you going to uniting your family soon and be sharing a child soon!"
Harry screamed before grabbed his painless potion and hot chocolate. At the door he turned to Narcissa and told her,
"This is my house that my god father left me. I opened this house up to you in good faith. If you want sit there and accuse me for all your problems then the door is there use it or shut your mouth and buck up your ideas. Draco what in important right now so stop with the pity party!"
He strode out of the room without a look at Hermione face. He knew the horror on her face would be clear and she would be disappointed that he lost his temper with Narcissa, she had pushed him too far this time. She wasn't the only one who was worried for Draco. He needed Draco to be ok too. He was soon to be his husband, he needed him back home safely with their baby too, there was no way he could pick one over the other like Draco had asked him to do.
The next morning at breakfast was rather awkward. Harry arrived at breakfast to find Ron and Hermione talking quietly and Hermione feeding Rose. There was no Narcissa and of course no Draco.
Harry sat down as he mumbled morning. Hermione looked over at him, it was clear by her face she not forgiven him for the way he spoke to Narcissa. If his stomach wasn't in so many knots worried about Draco, he would have pointed out that he never thought she take Narcissa Malfoy side on any argument.
Harry took a bite of toast and felt like he was chewing cardboard. He tried to make light conversation.
Harry asked,
"What are you three doing today?"
Ron answered with mouth full of food,
"Helping George with delivery."
Harry couldn't help but smirk, sometimes never change. Hermione looked at husband with same expression she was using for Harry at this very moment. Harry was unsure who Hermione was more disgusted with right now between himself and Ron.
Hermione slammed the empty milk bottle down on the table with more force than need and started to burp Rose before she answered,
"I'm going back to our new flat to get few things for myself and Rose then I'll be going to the burrow to drop Rose off so me and Ron can have lunch together."
Harry nodded and took the newspaper that Kreacher had left for him on the kitchen table.
Harry answered after a moment,
"I need you to take Teddy with you when you got to the burrow."
Hermione looked up and replied,
"I hope it's so you can apologise to Narcissa and not be disturbed while you speaking in a calmer manner than the pair of you was using last night."
Harry dropped his head back behind the newspaper he knew this was coming. Hermione was determined to give him a hard time about the way he spoke to Narcissa last night.
Harry answered,
"She accused me of me being the reason she and her hudband are separated. She can go back to him if she wants."
Hermione grabbed the newspaper off him and told him,
"Harry that not a reason to act like a five-year-old. Go upstairs and apologise to her, she's Draco's mother and she just worried for her son."
Harry opened his mouth to argue back that he wasn't in the wrong for Hermione to cut him off,
"You going to be all part same family soon and she going to be grandmother of your child. We all want same thing so let's stop arguing among ourselves and start working towards who is responsible for what happened to Draco and Mr Weasley."
Harry interpreted,
"Draco told me you and Draco got a confession out of Ginny that she given Blaise information? Is it True? This is why I want to go and see Ginny later before I go and see Draco."
Ron who clearly had not spoke to Hermione about this since the night of their wedding eye were as larger as saucers. He was looking back and forth between Harry and Hermione.
Hermione who had just finished burping Rose stood up suddenly. She didn't make eye contact with their man sitting at the table awaiting her response. She answered,
"We will talk about it tonight, I need to wash and dress Rosie. Ill see you about half past twelve Ron."
She gave Ron and very quick peck on the cheek before making a very quick exit out of the room.
Ron turned back to Harry and asked,
"What the bloody hell was all that about?"
Harry answered,
"I'm not sure, I think there more to it then she willing to share."
Ron shrugged his shoulders and shoved an egg in his mouth whole. Harry carried on drinking his tea he wasn't sure he could stomach food just yet. He called out,
"Kreacher!"
A moment later there was a cracking sound and the old house elf appeared and bowed loudly and asked,
"Master called?"
Harry who still didn't like being addressed like this but recovered after a moment and asked,
"Is mistress Malfoy awake?"
Kreacher replied,
"Kreacher doesn't know. She wasn't half an hour ago when kreacher checked on her."
Harry told him,
"Go and wake up master Teddy Lupin up kindly he is member of the black household weather he on the family tree of not. He needs to come and eat breakfast then take a tray of food to mistress Malfoy with a vial of hungover potion."
Kreacher bowed low once again and answered,
"Whatever master wishes."
With another cracking sound he vanished to another part of the house. Ron looked at him as he turned back to the table.
He replied,
"Hermione right, I have to try and get along with her even if I don't agree. She Draco's mother and she did save me battle of Hogwarts. So I'll send her a kind gesture with kreacher because if I go in all gun blazing again she will be cursing me. I said some rather rude and hurtful thing last night."
Ron nodded and asked,
"Have you decided what to do about Teddy yet?"
Harry and sighed and answered,
"He's now my responsibility. Remus asked me to be his god father I take that job seriously. Sirius never gave up on me till his dying breath and Teddy deserves the same."
It was Harry turn to ask the question he had been wanting to ask for a number of days now,
"Have Hermione's parents accepted that she is their daughter?"
Ron answered,
"I don't know. Her mother is hoping she is I think but fir there memories being back is no better. She is hoping if she shows them pictures and talk about memories it might jog a few memories. I think her dad wants to take a DNA test but as he still hanging around the burrow they must be hoping."
