Rediscovering Harry
A/N - Ok in all honesty I have NO idea where this story is going. Fluffy as hell, crazy things happen. If one more thing pops into my head and won't stop until my fingers type it I may scream. Hopefully it will all tie end together for what was intended in the beginning. Maybe just more added things that help Harry discover who he truely is. He has a pretty good Idea now but sometimes life throws you curve balls, You just have to know when to swing!
Chapter 10 - Godric's Hollow Day 2
Lily watched as Draco continued making the cheesecake. Layering fresh berries in the bottom followed by layers of cheesecake and more berries until it was 4 layers thick.
" Draco, James and I have watched you grow from a young confused boy into a wonderful , loving , compationate young man. I just wanted you to know that we to are proud of you. "
Draco looked up at Lily he went back to his cheesecake unable to speak he knew she wasn't finished yet.
" We are both very glad, that you have became the very man that has fell in love with our son and who has helped him become the man he is today. You made Harry realize things about himself that he probably wouldn't have figured out for a while. You made him feel comfortable within himself. Thank you Draco for simply loving him as a friend and a lover. " She watched Draco carefully.
" Lily, Harry was already those things. He is who is because he made a promise to himself to be the person he wanted to be. Happy and not care if it offended others. He was tired of people telling him what his life consisted of. What he had to do. He took control of his own life. I didn't make him into that. "
" No I supose your right, but it was you Draco that made him believe in himself. Gave him the strength to be the man he is. His unconditional love for you is far more then you realize. If you remember correctly the both of you didn't exactly get along growing up. The both of you to overcome that is pure love. To accept each others love takes great strengths on both parts. "
" I liked Harry for a long time, circumstances on the other hand would never give us the chance to squash that, not until my father got his head out of his ass , swallowed his pride and finally revealed where he truely stood. How do you think things would of been if he hadn't been that way to begin with? "
" I believe Draco, that you and Harry would of fell inlove much earlier then you had. "
" I could see that possibly. I had liked him for so long maybe our friendship would have blossomed much soon and our love. " He pondered the thought.
" Are you ok with what has happend today? Are you ok with James and I being here? "
" Yes , why wouldn't I be? I've heard Harry speak of you, photo's. I've heard the stories of you all when you were younger. It would have been nice to have met you under...Different circumstances, but I am glad that now Harry and I will both have the change to get to know you both. Harry will have the family he has always wanted. It does nothing but make me happy for all of you. "
Lily made her way around the table. She kissed Draco on the forehead and smiled at him briefly. " Is there anything I can help you with in here. Now that we've had a little heart to heart. " She laughed softly.
" No, dinner is just about done. If you want to go and wake your son up. I'm sure he would be pleased to finally have that experience. "
" Good Idea. " She went to exit the kitchen.
" Don't forget to wake James either. " He called out to her.
" Ron I'm going to send a patronus to Draco so he and Harry will know that we are all here at Hogwarts that way when they come back they can come straight to Minerva's office. "
" Good thinking. They wouldn't know what to think when they came back to find all of us missing so to speak. "
" True. Do you think I should tell him we know everything? "
" It would probably be a good Idea. That way they know it's ok to bring Lily and James with them. "
Lily cracked the door to her sons room. He looked peaceful curled up on his side. She walked over slowly and sat on the edge of the bed he was lying on. She gently brushed the hair from his forehead and kissed him.
" Harry darling, it's time to wake up. "
Harry stirred. He slowly opend his eyes. His mother was looking down on him and smiled.
" I must be dreaming again. " He whispered.
" No darling, your not dreaming. Come on get up. Draco said dinner is ready. "
Harry flinched for a second. How can this be happening he thought. How is she here, how does she know about Draco. His mind was till foggy. He rubbed his eyes and ran his hands down his face. He blinked and slowly began to sit up. When his eyes finally focused he was stairing right at the same brilliant green eyes that were his own.
" Mum ? "
" Yes Harry you aren't dreaming. Remember what we talked about earlier?"
He nodded his head. " So I wasn't dreaming all that up. "
She giggled. " No, are you ok ?"
Harry threw his arms around his mother and brought her closer for a tighter hug. " Yeah, I'm ok mum, I was just affraid that when I woke up it would have been all a horrible nightmare. "
" It's ok , I understand. Now are you hungry, Draco has made a wonderful smelling chicken casserole. Oh and you should see the cheesecake he has made. I can't wait to sink my teeth into it. " She laughed.
" Calm down mum, he does that all the time, there will be plenty more where that came from. " He grabbed his mother by the hand. " Where is dad? "
" Still sleeping, we need to wake him up as well. "
Harry got an idea, something he never got to do as a child and would now get the chance to. He drug his mum from the room and headed towards theirs. He opend the door and found his dad asleep. He flipped on the light and jumped on the bed. " Wake up dad." He said bouncing on the bed. " It's time to wake up. Dinner is ready. " Harry was laughing right along with Lily.
" I guess you think this is funny huh? Making up for things you didn't get to do to me huh? " James said laughing along with them.
" You got that right. Not as fun as I imagined it though. " He shrugged and got off the bed helping his dad up.
" I guess maybe because i'm not an eager little child anymore. You hungry?"
" Sure, lets go eat. " They all headed to the kitchen for Dinner.
Entering the kitchen they helped Draco carry the dishes to the dinning room and set up. Just as Draco was about to open the cabniet to bring out some wine he turned and saw Hermione's patronus coming. Before he could react he was ingulfed by it revealing its message.
" Dray, What did Hermione say?"
Draco stumbled as the patronus disappeared. He shook his head.
" She was letting us know, that everyone is at Hogwarts and are aware of the situation and that we are safe to floo into Minerva's office when we come back. "
" Oh. I wonder if this is why Kingsley was acting so weird when I went to get the portkey from him the other day. " Harry wondered or was it something else.
" Who knows. It could have been over some of the death eaters who are still on the loose. There is no telling what was bothering him Harry. We can ask I supose. "
Harry shrugged and sat down to have dinner with his family for the first time.
The next day Harry and Draco decided to go shopping with Lily and James under a slight appearance change. Nothing to drastic but surely enough so no one would ask questions. They walked the small town of Godric's Hollow and entered a few of the shops. It was nothing fancy but they held things that Hogsmede didn't. One shop was actually owned by a squibb and held homemade muggle chocolates and other candies alot of them they recognized from being in america. They bought some for Ron knowing he would definately enjoy them. They picked out a few others for everyone else and headed to another shop. They picked out a rather large cook book that they had never seen before at Flourish & Blotts for Mrs Weasley. The woman loved to cook way to much for her own good but she would enjoy it. They also went by another store and picked up many different kinds of yarns and threads for her. Her other hobby. Making everyone jumpers and anything else she could find to make.
After shopping Harry found the time to use his new camera Draco had bought for him. He took pictures of the town, church, Inn and the beautiful scene before them. Lily took pictures of the two smiling and enjoying one anothers company and a few of them throwing snow at each other. Draco took pictures of James , Lily and Harry briefly removing the charms when no one was looking. When they headed back to the Inn Harry took pictues of that also. Luna put a concealment charm on the Inn and took pictures of all 4 of them together. Back inside she took somemore of them sitting in the lounge before the fireplace that was humbly decorated for Christmas. These would be perfect for the start of their new album and life together. Harry also captured some photos of her.
Harry and Draco were in the kitchen making some lunch for James and Lily who were in the living room being facinated by the muggle Tv. Of course Lily knew how it worked. She was after all muggle born. Her laughter at James could be heard in the kitchen.
" Dray I need to head to Diagon Alley for something. Will you be ok here with my parents ? "
" Sure Harry, what are you going for? "
" There is something I want to get for Luna. She has done so much for us and I wanted to get her something special. Are you ok here or would you like me to wait until we went back home ? "
" No we'll be fine, they seem to be entertaining themselves and I could always show them the computer. " Draco's laugh made Harry smile.
" True. It would facinate them both actually. Mum is muggle born It's dad who is facinated with the Tv. I shouldn't be long. " He kissed Draco and left with a soft pop.
Harry entered a small shop that was frequented by seers and held many items useful for divination. He looked around the shop for quite sometime when he came across just what he had been looking for. He picked up the small necklace that had a small crystall ball pendant on it. It was sort of like a Pensieve but captured the visions a seer might have for later viewing. Most of the time. Like with Trelawney a seer didn't remember what had been said or seen while in the trance like state. It was the perfect gift for Luna. He made his way to the counter to pay for it. The woman at the counter placed the charm necklace into a black box lined with purple velvet to keep it safe.
" Remember the necklace should be worn at all times to ensure that all visions and prophacys are captured. " She smiled sweetly at Harry and he headed out the door.
" Thank you Madam Laura. " He said graciously leaving through the door.
Harry stepped onto the cobblestone street. Just as he was about to walk down the road to apparaite back a jet of light flew by his head and crashed into the building behind him. Harry's wand was quickly in his hand and when he turned to see where it had came from he saw a Dark figure down the road just abou to hurl another hex his way.
" Stuptfy" Harry yelled and watched the figure fall to the ground. He made his way over and kicked the figure that lay there stunned. He bound the figure. wrenched the wand from his hand and ripped his hood back.
" Avery, you little bastard. " Harry sent a patronus to Kingsley and one to Tonks. Within a few minutes the two were by Harry's side.
" Wotcher Harry, what the bloody hell happend. " Tonks asked wrinching Avery up and binding him further.
" Well, I was here buying a gift for a friend when this piece of shit hurled a hex that thankfully missed and hit the wall. I whirled and Stuptifed him on instinct , bound him and notifed the both of you. I guess that defeating Voldemort wasn't enough to show the bastards I wasn't playing around. How many more are still out there and how long has this been going on? "
" It won't stop until we have caught them all Harry. The ones remaining scattered. We are working on rounding them up. Good work on catching Avery. He won't be escaping Azkaban again. We're glad your ok. You need to be careful Harry there could be more that come back. Most haven't dared come back yet. That doesn't mean they won't though. " Kingsley retorted.
" Is this what was eating at you the day I came to your office last? Affraid they would start coming back here and causing chaos? "
Kingsley bowed his head knowingly. Harry knew it was part of the reason. Kingsley was affraid that they would come back with more and start another tirade of chaos on our now calm home.
" Don't worry Kingsley. The six of us just might not take a break until March. If shit like this starts happening again you can bet your ass we will be there to stop it. If everything is ok here with you two, I really need to be getting back. We will see you at Hogwarts soon. " Harry turned to Tonks and nodded before apparaiting back to The Hollow Inn.
Draco is going to be pissed when he finds this out he thought...
Entering the living room Harry looked disheveled. Draco noticed this but so did Lily and James.
" Harry, what the bloody hell happend to you? " Draco crossed the room and
looked over Harry with fine eyes. " You look like you've been..."
He was abruptly silenced by Harry's hand. " I'm fine Draco, I'll tell you but your not going to like what I have to say. "
" Well, whether I like it or not, I want to hear it. "
Lily took ahold of Harry's hands and led him to the couch. James gave him a glass of cold water and watched his sons movements.
" You were attacked weren't you son? " James asked already knowing the answer.
" Well, I was just about to head back here from buying Luna a gift when a hex came hurling past my head and hit the wall behind me. Luckily the bastard was to far away and his aim was off. I managed to stunn him , bind him and now he is off to Azkaban with Tonks and Kingsley where the bastard belongs. " Harry took a deep breath. " We may just have to take a shorter vacation if this starts up again. I told Kingsley that if more of this starts to happen we would definately be taking our positions sooner then March. " He took another calming breath.
Draco was fuming, pacing the room. " Draco" Came Lily's calm voice. " Calm down sweetie everything is going to be ok. "
Draco huffed and flung himself in the chair next to Harry. " I can't believe this shit. After everything why now? Who was it Harry? "
" Avery."
" That bastard! He is worthless to either side. I can't believe Voldemort didn't kill him the last time he defied him. " Draco screamed under his breath somemore. " Now he comes after you, Over my dead body. "
Harry placed a loving hand on Draco's. " Baby calm down I'm fine. Please Draco please don't get this upset. He's been caught. The others, they will get them , or we will. " He leaned over and kissed Draco on the cheek hoping he would calm down. Draco sigh'd.
Lily and James watched the two interact with each other. If anyone could calm down Draco it was Harry or Lily. She was always good at that.
Harry turned to his parents. " Mum , dad could you go down and get Luna for me. I want to give her this gift. " They nodded and went out the door.
" Draco " Harry said softly but Draco was lost in his own thoughts. Harry kneeled before Draco, taking his finger and lifting his chin to look into his gorgous eyes. He saw sadness, anger, love, loss.
" Dray listen to me luv. " Draco looked at Harry and then closed his eyes. A lone tear escaping.
Harry wiped the tear away. He kissed the tip of Draco's nose. " Look at me Dray, please don't cry." He pulled Draco to his feet and wrapped his arms tightly around Dracos body. " I'm ok Dray, nothing is going to happen ok your not going to lose me. " He felt Draco's arms wrap around his own body and Draco began to sob into Harry's neck.
Harry stood there with Draco. He knew his parents weren't going to come back right away. They were aware that he needed a littel time with Draco. He made the couch larger and sat down bringing Draco with him and holding him until his sobs weakend and he was breathing more calmly.
" I won't let this happen Harry. Not after everything we have been through to be where we are now. " He layed his head back on Harry's shoulder and fell asleep curled up in his lovers arms.
" Severus, are you ok with all of this. Can you handle Lily being back ? Narcissa asked of him concerned about the state that he looked at the moment. " I know you love me, I ..have no doubts there but.. the past is coming back and I want to make sure your ok. "
" Cissy, don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I won't feed you rubbish it will be damn hard. It's not that I'm still in love with her, a part of me always will love her on some level but dealing with seeing her again I can handle. I'll be fine. We have all matured from our school days. I still dislike James for what he did to me. If I can make amends with the others surely I can with him to. "
Narcissa observed Severus longer. This is not going to be easy she thought to herself. " I just wanted to make sure. I worry about you Sev. They will be apart of our lives now seeing as our sons are very much in love, a relationship and soul mates. "
Severus whirled around " Wha?..What do you mean soul mates ? "
Narcissa's face went pale " uh well..." She stuttered
" Cissy, please explain to me what you know." Severus insisted.
" Sit down, your going to need some firewhiskey for this. " She turned and went to fetch a drink for Severus. What the hell did I do that for she thought as she left the room leaving Severus in the livingroom quarters of his private rooms.
An hour later Lily and James had arrived back to their private rooms. Harry was asleep on the couch with Draco curled up in his arms deep in sleep himself. Lily stood and observed the two while James went to fetch a blanket to cover the two with. They didn't see a reason to wake them. Both had been through way to much for the last two days and needed the rest. She used Harry's wand that was lying on the end table to transform the couch into more of a plush bed and watched as the two shifted more comfortably. Draco opend his eyes and looked up at Lily.
" Shhh Draco, you both need your rest. Are you hungry? "
Draco nodded his sleepy head.
" Ok, James and I will fix dinner while the two of you sleep and we will wake you in a few hours. Sleep darling everything will be just fine. " She brushed the hair from his eyes and gently kissed his forehead and then did the same to Harry. She made her way to the kitchen with James.
Lily rested her head against Jame's chest. She sigh'd. " They've come to far for this James. They don't deserve to go through all of this again. I can't bare it. I hope everything will be ok. " She siletly cried in her husbands arms. She was always a strong one. So much had happend within the last two days it was taking a tole on her after what happend today.
" Everything will be fine Lily. Not only do they have each other. They now have us here to help them. " He held onto his wife and gently kissed the top of her head. " Come on luv , we have dinner to fix for the kids.
A/N . - Ok, Having only 3 reviews with as many hits as I have is depressing. Do you all think this is to fluffy ? Sometimes I do but I can't help but to write them this way sometimes. I hate Draco always being a Jerk. I just want a little input on what you all think. If you have any Ideas I wouldn't object to hearing them. Maybe it would help me sort out my own mad mind working overload with these characters. Until next time...
