Chapter thirteen

Harry and Draco were cuddled up on the couch in the living room waiting for the Weasley's and Harry's friends to arrive. Harry could tell Draco was nervous, so he was doing everything he could to take his mind off his friends even though Harry knew after the initial awkwardness, everything would be fine. Harry was sitting on Draco's lap and they were snogging fiercely, when they heard a soft cough before Charlie decided to say something.

'I saw a lot of tongue there, but now's not the time, so unlock those lips.'

'Charlie, remember, it is there home,' Molly said sternly.

Harry and Draco stood up but Harry kept his arms around Draco, 'Hi, sorry, we got distracted.'

'So we saw Harry, hello Draco,' Hermione gave him a smile.

'Hermione, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, it's nice to meet you,' Draco stepped forward and shook their hands.

'Nice to meet you to Draco, you have a lovely home.'

'Thank you, it hasn't changed much since my aunt left it for me. Why don't you all sit and make yourselves comfortable.'

'Thank you Draco,' Arthur gave him a smile and everyone sat down.

'Ron, are you going to say hello?'

'Give me a chance Harry, I think I'm still in shock here. So hi Malfoy, don't expect me to say your first name, well at least for a while.'

'It's fine Weasley, I think both of us will need time to get used to saying Ron and Draco.'

'Well, you look okay, and Harry seems happy. But before anything else, I want to ask you something Malfoy?'

'Anything Neville.'

'Do you really care for Harry, you're not up to anything?'

Draco smiled and turned to face Harry, 'I love Harry and the only thing I want from him is his love, well and his naked body,' Draco made a small growling noise in the back of his throat.

'There as bad as each other.'

'I think you both look very nice together. One blond and one dark,' Luna smiled.

'Thanks Luna and I think we do too.' Harry grinned.

After some initial awkward conversation, Harry and Draco took everyone into the library and laughed when Hermione stared around at all the books and she just kept circling as she looked at every shelf and every book.

'Later Hermione,' Harry took her hand and led her back over to Ron, 'Keep hold of her Ron, you might lose here in here.'

'You could have left the library until last Harry, but this even surprised me. Are they all your books Malfoy?'

'Mostly mine, some that belonged to my aunt. Their mainly novels, but there are a lot of advanced potions and spell books there. I love to sit in here and read, so I buy a lot of books.'

'Dray's put me onto some and I'm enjoying reading just for fun and not to learn for a change. But we want to show you something,' Draco and Harry went over to the piano and first Draco played a beautiful classical piece with Harry gazing at him while he played. Draco then played the song from the movie Harry took him too, then everyone stared in shock as Harry started to sing a beautiful love song as he gazed at Draco. But Harry noticed that Hermione sung along even if she did quietly. 'You know that Hermione?'

'My parents took me to see that when I was younger. It's a beautiful movie,' Hermione sniffed.

'They'll be found Hermione, don't give up,' Ron squeezed her hand.

'Is something going on?' Draco asked seeing how upset Hermione was.

'Hermione removed her from her parents memories then made them think they were some other people that wanted to live in Australia. She was worried that Voldemort might find them to try and get to me. The ministry is looking into it along with the Australian ministry. The hard part is their muggles and would be living in a muggle area, so it's taken time to find them.'

'That was smart Hermione because there were plans to get anyone close to Harry. That was why they took Luna, they knew she was friends with Harry. He was going to get some of the Weasley's next, then Neville. He wanted to have a lot for leverage then let it be known so Harry would surrender to him. He did have Mulcipher go into some muggle areas to try and find more out about you, I don't know if he found out anything though. I could probably write and ask my mother, she might know if anything was mentioned about your parents.'

'That would be appreciated Draco, anything that could help Hermione would be good,' Arthur said.

'I'll do it tonight, but I'll take about two weeks before I'll get a response. Azkaban only allows prisoners to write once a month and I got a letter from my mother two weeks ago.'

'Thank you Draco, but you play beautifully and Harry,' Hermione punched him in the shoulder.

'Ow, what was that for Hermione,' Harry rubbed his shoulder.

'Why didn't you tell us you could sing, you told Ron and me everything?'

'He didn't know Hermione,' Draco picked up a blue shirt, 'I had Harry wear this as the uniform, it was so I could check him out, only just covered him. Well I was having a bath and told Harry I like to listen to music, so I told him to sing. He kept saying he didn't know anything, but when I told him to wash my feet, he remembered a song from when he was a kid. I couldn't believe his voice, so I've been teaching Harry some music and more songs to sing.'

Hermione leaned over and kissed Harry's cheek, 'Sorry, but you have a very nice voice.'

'Thanks,' Harry shook his head at his friend, 'Ask next time Hermione, you hit hard. Ron I'd watch her and don't get her angry.'

'I already know not to do that Harry, I'm not thick.'

'Why don't we all go for a swim, there's changing rooms in the pool room,' Harry said and everyone followed Harry and Draco to the back of the house.

'Blimey, look at the size of this,' Seamus said, 'So it's warm right?'

'Yes, we keep it heated during the cold weather. Harry and I swim every day, but this time we'll wear clothes.'

'You don't need to tell everyone Dray,' Harry kissed him before facing everyone, 'Why don't you all change, those rooms are for that and there's towels in there.'

Everyone got changed but Charlie couldn't resist saying something, 'Harry, we get to see all the other love bites Draco put all over you, not to mention the ones you put on Draco, some right near the band of your pants,' Charlie chuckled as everyone turned to look at the two young men, 'Not to mention a few other places I can see.'

'Enough Charlie, leave Harry and Draco alone, it's their private business,' Arthur shook his head at his son, but everyone started to climb into the pool before Harry went up on the diving board and did a pretty graceful dive then swum the length of the pool until he melted into Draco's arms. Over the next couple of hours, everyone started to get friendly with Draco and talked openly with him and treated him like they treated any of their friends. Harry couldn't stop smiling as he watched his friends, his family as they accepted Draco. After having fun in the pool everyone went to the dining room and started to eat a wonderful meal.

'Hermione, I've been planning a surprise for Harry, but I know all of you would be worried, so I'd like you to check it out before I show him.'

'I think we all know you love Harry Draco, so it's fine.'

'I do, but I still would like you to see what it is. It'll take about an hour though.'

'What are you up to Dray?'

'You'll find out later babe, so have some patience,' Draco heard everyone laugh, 'What's so funny?'

'Harry has no patience, haven't you learnt that about him yet. He is the most impatient man I've ever met,' Ron said.

'Thanks Ron, great friend you are. But it's true,' Harry smiled sheepishly, 'I never did have any patience.'

'Well you're going to need some if Hermione will come with me. You can show everyone else around.'

'I'll come with you but I know it'll be fine.'

'We might head down to the quidditch pitch, have a fly.'

Harry led everyone outside, while Hermione followed Draco to the back of the house and into another room.

'It's a potions room.'

'Yes, I've always been good at potions. So when Harry and I got together I've been studying up so I could make one that would help him,' Draco handed Hermione a book and watched her read, 'I think it will work, but you are the brightest witch around, what's your opinion?'

Hermione smiled, 'I believe it will Draco, did you invent this yourself?'

'Yes, I wanted to for Harry. But again with a potion, I didn't want anyone to think I was going to poison him, so I wanted you to see what the ingredients were and watched while I make it.'

'Let's do it, because I can't wait to see Harry when he has that.'

For the next hour Hermione and Draco worked side by side until the potion was ready. Draco put some into a flask and corked it. Then they left the house to go find everyone else.

'About time, so do we get to know what this surprise is Draco has for Harry?' Ron asked.

'Yeah, I'm a bit anxious to know as well.'

'Anxious, Harry could hardly concentrate on playing, all he was thinking about was what you two were doing,' Ginny laughed, 'See, impatient.'

Harry scowled but ended up laughing before turning back to Draco and saw him holding up a potion.

'It's safe Harry and you'll be amazed when you drink that,' Hermione smiled.

'I know it's safe I'm just wondering what's going on,' Harry took the flask and saw everyone watching him. Harry uncorked it then drank the potion, then Draco pulled his glasses off and everyone saw Harry smile hugely before kissing Draco passionately. Everyone looked a bit confused wondering what was going on, but Hermione refused to say because the thought it was up to Draco and Harry.
