Tonight I'm Drowning

by tt22123

Draco and Harry end up rooming with each other in their eighth year. Most people decorate their rooms to make it feel that little bit more like home, especially after what had happened there in the last 7 years, but harry only has one picture. Who is that baby in the picture? I do not own Harry Potter, nor any of the characters within.

3. Chapter 3

It was on their one year anniversary that Harry gave Draco his news, he was pregnant, he and Draco were going to be fathers. They had a beautiful baby girl which Draco decided that they should name Lily to honour the woman without whom he would not have the man that he loved, by which logic it was decided that she would be named Lily Narcissa Malfoy-Potter, Draco was reluctant to name his daughter after his mother but when Harry pointed out that neither of them would be alive without her Draco conceded to allowing her middle name.

When Lily was about to turn two they got the news that Draco was pregnant, this time with twin boys. Being the last of both of their family lines they had a male heir to continue each of their lines, maintaining the long ancestry so that the names did not get lost in history. Scorpius James Malfoy-Potter and Orion Sirius Potter-Malfoy.

The moment that their first child was born Harry changed his words for what would be the last time until he died, that moment he knew that although he had lost his first child he had a family with the man that he loved and always would do. That night he once again broke his ritual and this time spoke to Draco the words that he would continue to tell him until they had grown old together, "with you here I'm soaring."

Draco knew that these would be the words spoken to him for years to come and he felt overjoyed that he was able to help the man in his arms come so far from the one night in their dorm room when he was hoping for death.

It was a year after Draco died, an escaped Death Eater determined to take their revenge on the couple for their role in the downfall of the Dark Lord struck Draco with the death curse as he moved in front of Harry as a final sacrifice, and Harry continued to say his words every night to the picture of Draco that he kept by the side of their bed. Finally the year became too much for Harry to bear and his heart became weary without Draco by his side, whispering his final words Harry lifted Draco's ebony wand to his temple and cast a silent 'Avada Kedavra'. "Without you here I'm drowning. I'll join you in the afterlife soon."

Harry met with Death as an old friend, being the Master of Death he was instantly granted his final wish and taken to stay by Draco's side for the rest of eternity.
