Hey everyone! I thought I'd put up another today since I have a busy week this week. I may get some up next weekend, but depends on how much I get down during the week. Thank you to all of you for your dedication and reviews! Love them all :)B
DRACO
Draco woke up and blinked, noticing a big flat screen in his view. His brows furrowed as he tried to remember why exactly the tele wasn't on the wall as usual. Better yet, why he was facing it without a cramp in his neck. He made to get up when something pulled him closer. He twisted his head just enough to see the dark hair of the person behind him and let out a sigh, finally remember. He didn't realize he slept the whole night with Harry on the man's couch. He usually can't sleep on that piece of furniture. He slowly lifted the arm around him and wrote a note so that Harry could figure out where he went and sat it so it tented over the glasses on the coffee table.
He slowly got up, grabbed his shirt, and apparated so he could shower before work. He dropped his jeans and the shirt in the open washer on his way to his room. He turned on the water and then brushed his teeth while waiting for it to heat up. "Oh yea." He whispered out loud as the water hit his tired muscles. He leaned his head back to get it wet and smiled as he remembered Harry pulling on it. Who would have thought Harry could get a tad bit dominating. It made the blonde's prick twitch as he thought about how else the dark haired wizard could be demanding, and where. He sighed and shook his head, knowing he didn't have time for that, and quickly washed up.
He turned the water off and wrapped a burgundy towel around his waist as he walked out into his room and to his closet. He pulled out a pair of slacks and slipped them on, grabbing his hamper on and taking everything to his washer. He started it up and pulled a clean shirt out of the dryer, slipping it on. He walked into the bathroom and shaved the shadow that grew, tying his hair up in a low ponytail today. He then put on some socks and his biker boots before grabbing his keys and wand. He heard the ding of the washer and so put the clothes in the dryer on the way out. He smiled as he saw Pansy waiting in the kitchen.
"Gotta run, dinner later?" He asked, kissing her cheek in greeting.
"Can't, out with someone."
He furrowed his brow. "What about Finnegan?"
She smiled. "He'll be there. Tomorrow?"
Draco tilted his head and then decided it was better not to know and nodded. "Alright. Love you, Pansy."
She blew him a kiss, saying the words back as he walked out the door. When he got down the street of the Quidditch store, he groaned. "Not what I needed." He mumbled as he made to unlock his door.
"You looked awfully cozy with Potter yesterday, Malfoy."
Draco rolled his eyes and left the door open as he sat his things on the counter and turned the sign around. "What business is it of yours, Goyle?"
He watched the man as he stood arrogantly on the other side. "I'm sure Vince wouldn't appreciate it."
Draco folded his arms. "He's not here, Greg. He'd want me to move on and you know it."
"How's Pans?"
Draco raised his left eyebrow, not answering. He knew what the man wanted and he wasn't going to get it. Gregory Goyle came around and got closer to the store owner. "How's her face?"
Draco stood there, using every ounce of Malfoy control his father put into him not to hit the man. The big man just stood there till someone came in with their young kid. Draco kept his eyes on the guy till he was out of sight and quickly casted a patronus to let Harry and Hermione know to keep Pansy there for a bit. He smiled as the woman came up with her son, who wanted a new training broom. Draco came around and helped him find which one he needed for the upgrade and then rang them up so they could pay. He heard his stomach make it know he hadn't eaten when the lady left and sighed. He really needed a latte and some food. He closed his door, putting a sign up to let people know he'd be back and walked the short distance to the bakery. He smiled when he saw Pansy there, waiting with breakfast as usual.
"What's up? Why couldn't I leave?" she asked, handing him his bag.
Draco sighed and sat down, noticing Hermione was sitting as well. "Someone was waiting on me this morning. Where's Harry?"
Pansy's eyes got wide and Hermione looked from one to the other. "Went to see about Oliver and the undercovers. Who was waiting for you?"
Draco nodded and looked at his friend, who nodded. He looked at Hermione. "Greg Goyle is Pansy's ex. He also happens to be Vince's best mate and somehow figured me and Harry. I'm just happy the Malfoy upbringing kept me from hitting the smirk off his face when he asked about Pansy's."
Hermione's eyes widened and she looked at the girl on her left. Pansy shrugged. "He wasn't always like he is now. Not till the battle at Hogwarts. We dated for a while before he got bad."
Hermione nodded and got up to help a customer that walked in, making sure Teddy was in sight. Draco walked over and waved at Teddy, who smiled, as he walked out the bakery with Pansy. She walked with him back, but kept going since she was needed at the hospital. Draco re-opened the store and went behind the counter to eat so he could see if someone walked in.
"Malfoy."
Draco raised an eyebrow, still chewing on his pastry, in question. He watched the red head walk over and lean against the counter.
"Stay away from Harry. He'll come to his senses and then Ginny can marry him. They were together a long time."
He swallowed his bite and sighed. "You seem real sure of that. Did you knew he slept with a brother of yours, Fred I believe. That was before your darling whore of a sister. I'm pretty sure neither one of them are keen on reconciling so what do you really want?"
He really hated this family and totally wished he knew which one this one actually was. He could see the vein in the man's neck throb and leaned forward.
"Need the money, do ya?"
He made to climb over to get at him when someone grabbed his wrist. Both men turned to see Harry behind the redhead and Draco just leaned back, finishing his latte.
"Bill, what do you possibly need here?" Harry asked, letting go of the man.
Bill growled and went toe to toe with Harry. "You know what I want, Harry. This isn't right. Spreading lies about my family is worse."
Harry just stood, folding his arms over his chest. "What's not right, William? What lies?"
"Fred, you not being with my sister, turning your back on my mum and dad who treated you as a son."
Draco rolled his eyes as Harry shrugged. "They turned on me. The money isn't even going to be used, I put it in a fund for Teddy. As for Fred, take that up with George. He knew, not surprising. I'm not shocked he didn't tell you all though, all things considering."
Bill huffed and walked out, knowing Harry wouldn't budge.
"Morning, darling." Draco smiled as soon as the damn Weasley was out of sight.
Harry smiled and leaned in to peck his lips. "Morning. You could have borrowed my shower, you know. I wouldn't have minded."
Draco laughed. "And I'm sure we wouldn't have left. Last night was great, but it would have been tempting to conserve water and I'm not ready for that, Harry."
Harry smiled. "It was and I'm not either, Draco. Pansy told Hermione you're occupied tomorrow?"
Draco smiled. "We're not used to me being the busy one. She's usually that and very sporadic. Why?"
Harry leaned on the counter and smiled. "Teddy want's to make his special fish and chips for you. I know you don't do fish, the special is chicken because he doesn't either. He want's to tell you though, so be surprised."
Draco leaned forward, keeping the customers in his sight as he addressed the man. "I'll bring treacle tart for dessert."
"Alright, I should get back. Mim and I are running out of some things."
Draco nodded and kissed him lightly as he backed out of the store.
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. Draco packed it in a bit early so he could take the deposits to the bank, missing this morning because of Goyle's fat ass. He counted the money and then made the trek to the goblins, closing the store. He walked into the front door of Gringotts and could hear some woman shouting at some poor goblin about how someone promised her renovations.
"Hello, Hazeldook."
"Mr. Malfoy."
He gave the pouches to the goblin, who took it. "What's the yelling?"
The goblin made a "tsk" as he answered. "Molly Weasley trying to use a vault she's not authorized to is yelling at her son, Mr. Malfoy."
Draco suppressed a chuckle as he thought about what happened earlier. He took the receipt from the goblin and then headed to the apparition point behind the building. He got home and quickly took another shower, slipping into a pair of blue skinny jeans and a white button up Pansy made him get in some muggle mall. He slipped on his converse and left his hair down before getting the treacle tart he had already put aside for today and flooing to Harry's. He came through and Teddy jumped up to hug him from the couch.
"Draco, you came!"
Draco smiled. "Yes, did you finish yout secret meal?"
Teddy smiled and led the man to the kitchen. "Yes. Uncle Harry had to help, but I did a lot of it. What did you bring?"
Draco gave the bowl to Harry, who kissed him in greeting. He turned back to the boy. "Treacle tart."
He watched the boy's eyes light up and a smile appear. "That's my and Harry's favorite, Draco!"
Draco smiled. "Mine too. Where do you want me?"
The table was already set and Harry was putting the last of the food items on it as Teddy led Draco to the spot reserved for him. Draco ate and listened to Teddy talk about what he did at the bakery, helping Hermione in the back mostly while Harry was in charge of the front.
"Why not hire one person, Harry?" he asked, looking at the man across him.
Harry shrugged. "Mim likes things a certain way and most don't get on with her and her schedules. I'm used to it, so we get on great. Put in some poor chit and it'll all go down the hill."
Draco nodded, knowing exactly what Harry meant. When Hermione was in school, it was rumored as quite the sight, let alone now that it was part her business they needed to stay afloat.
"Makes sense actually. She's a tough girl to work with if you're not used to it. I remember you and Weasley complaining in school."
Harry chuckled. "We were worse in the common room."
"Draco, were you a Grifindo too?" Teddy asked, making the men turn their attention.
Draco shook his head. "No. I was in Slytherin like my mum and dad. I do know your dad was though. Sirius Black's family was all Slytherin but him. My dad used to tell my mum that he betrayed everyone."
Teddy nodded. "Uncle Harry did tell me that. Why did he betray people?"
Draco sighed and thought on how to answer to where the boy would understand. He glanced at Harry, who nodded that he was alright with what Draco told his godson. Draco looked back at Teddy and sit his fork down. "Families like mine and the Blacks were raised with certain things they're made to believe. These things are very wrong and shouldn't be taught. Sirius getting into Gryffindor with your dad, and Harry's, was one of the things not right with our families. He was a good man, though. He helped your dad and Harry with the war and your mum was related to him also. Don't worry, Teddy, he didn't really betray anyone. Not the people that mattered anyway."
Teddy smiled and got up, going around to give him a hug. "I'm glad you're not like that than."
Draco smiled, pulling the boy in his lap. "Me too. If I was your Uncle Harry wouldn't like me."
"I know. I heard Ron talking about the snakes and how they aren't good for anything. He also said a lot of grown up words I'm not allowed to say."
"Alright, Teddy it's bath time." Harry interrupted.
Teddy got down and asked if Draco could help him this time.
"I'd love to. If Harry doesn't care."
Harry shook his head. "Good luck. If you want a dry shirt, I'd get out of that one."
Draco just looked at the man as his cousin led him into the bathroom.
Harry was correct and Draco ended up peeling the shirt off he had on. He laid it carefully on the counter so it wouldn't wrinkle and helped Teddy finish his bath. When they were finished, Teddy asked Draco to help him with his pajamas. Draco nodded and let the boy lead him to his room. Draco sit on the bed while Teddy picked out a pair of underwear and his blue pajamas. Draco helped him get dressed and then the boy ran out to say his good night's to Harry. Draco watched as Harry did the nightly routine with his godson, stopping to slip his arms back in the shirt. He was in the process of buttoning it when he felt someone watching.
He looked up and smirked. "Something wrong, Harry?"
He could see the darker green of the other man's eyes and moves his hands slowly to each button. When he got half way up, Harry stopped him. Draco kept his eyes on Harry's, not daring to open his mouth. Harry pulled him closer and Draco let out a moan as his tongue came out to play with the blondes. Harry pushed them to move will Draco was against the wall, his hands around Harry's neck. When air was needed, Harry put his forehead against the other.
"We shouldn't, not here." he whispered.
Draco smiled. "Date this weekend? My turn."
Harry smiled, not moving. "Alright, I'll see if Mim or Luna can watch Teddy."
Draco smiled and Harry moved so they could walk back down to the living room. They sat for a bit and Draco told Harry about what happened at the bank. Harry just let out a breath and shook his head. "That woman. I swear. I wish they would just drop it."
Draco pulled Harry to him in a hug and sighed. "They will, eventually."
Harry pulled back and smiled. "Enough of that family. How was your day? I heard about Goyle."
Draco rolled his eyes and groaned. "Don't remind me. I hate that he tried to throw Vince in my face and then asked about Pansy. I wanted to hurt him, Harry. You have no idea. I think Vince controlled him more than anyone knew. He wasn't an abusive ass until that day."
Harry took the blonde's hand and smiled. "We'll get through it, Draco."
Draco leaned forward and kiss the man. "Yes, but I should really go before I attack you."
Harry smiled and kissed him again, "I wouldn't mind." he mumbled against their lips.
Draco laughed and pulled back. "No, but Teddy might."
Harry nodded in agreement and watched as the blond walked in the fire and disappeared. Draco got into his living room and sighed, it had been a long day. He checked his clothes and took them out. He put them on hangers and then took off the clothing he was wearing and climbing into bed the way he usually did, in as much clothing as he had on the day he was born.
