Malfoy Manor, 8:30 p.m.:
Harry and Draco were sitting in the main lounge of Malfoy Manor awaiting the reporters from the DP and Luna's father Xenophilius Lovegood from the Quibbler. They had arranged to meet with them the same night they came home, only because they wanted this to end as soon as possible.
"You sure you're up to this Draco?" Harry had Draco's hand in his own because Draco was slightly nervous for all of this.
"Yes, we need to do this for us and for Cissa." Harry smiled and kissed Draco's cheek.
"It'll be worth it I know it will."
"Boys." They looked up to see Luna and her dad, and Mr. Andy Smudgly from the Daily Prophet walk in with Lucius.
"Evening Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy." They all shook hands and everyone took their seats. Luna had a pad of her own and so did the others, so she had a part in this.
"I'm going to see my granddaughter; I'll be down the hall if you need me." Lucius left them alone and Harry turned to the three.
"We're glad you could come at such short notice." Harry.
"Well we had a feeling you would ask, I was more than happy to oblige before Ms. Skeeter got her hands on you first." Harry shuddered at the image of the bug woman; she was by far more disgusting than any other reporter. "I was glad to get your message."
"We just want this drama to end, and the only way that'll happen is if we talk to someone we can trust." Draco.
"Understood, now I'll let Mr. Lovegood go first." Smudgly turned to Xeno who leaned forward.
"Let's start with when you two first began your relationship, when did this all happen?" Harry looked at Draco and he nodded. Harry would do most of the talking, and Draco would pitch in when he could.
"Just last year, we had been rivals since we first met but in our sixth year everything changed."
"How so?"
"I had a rough day in my classes, and I had gone to the Astronomy Tower to clear my head when I saw Draco already there." Harry turned to Draco.
"I found out my mother had been killed, and that my father's cover was blown as a spy for Dumbledore. He wrote me saying he needed to go into hiding that he wouldn't be able to talk to me for a long time but he was going somewhere safe. I didn't expect to run into Harry…"
"So you sought comfort in each other?" Xeno.
"In a way." Harry. "Draco told me everything, which was odd because he hardly ever talked unless we fought and I felt bad for him so that began our relationship."
"Did you have a crush on Mr. Malfoy?" Andy.
"Yes, for a while since fourth year. I kept trying to tell myself that it wouldn't work because we were too different, but the night he opened up to me made me realize we didn't know each other that well. So we took it slow and here we are." Harry held Draco's hand and kissed his palm, showing off the engagement ring making Luna's eyes sparkle.
"You're engaged?" Xeno.
"Have been since before Cissa was born; I have to admit I didn't know wizard men could get pregnant but when I found out Draco was having my baby I knew I had what I wanted. That was to be with him forever, a relationship of six months now an entire year has given me what I've always wanted, a family." all three smiled and finished up with their pads.
"Now what about your father? He went into hiding and is now going to be Mr. Potter's father-in-law, what was his reaction when he realized you two were together?" Draco smirked a little.
"He wasn't too pleased at first, and neither were Harry's dads but they came around once they realized we'd been together secretly for five months. That was when I found out my father had been in love with my godfather Severus Snape."
"How long had they been together?"
"Since before I was born, that's what my father said. He said that my mother and he were friends but they were married because of their parents; my mother had me and then both my father and godfather became spies for the light."
"My my, you've had a lot going for you. Now let's get to the whole thing with Colin Creevey, he was one of the few who didn't support your relationship?"
"He and a few others, but we only thought he was being stupid like my ex-best friend Ron Weasley. Creevey, Ron, and Ginny were the main ones who had problems with me and Draco. It wasn't until much later did we find out they had joined the Dark Lord."
"And then?"
"They kidnapped Severus, and then later on kidnapped Draco when he was pregnant. Voldemort wanted my baby as his own, and sometime after Severus was kidnapped Ron was killed for trying to warn me about Draco's kidnapping."
"He didn't join willingly?" Harry stared at Andy, but sighed.
"I can't be sure about Ron, but Ginny was forced to join. She was upset about me not being interested in her, but she didn't want to go too far as to hurt innocent people." He paused. "She was hurt when she wanted to leave, and then she repented after we found her."
"She was sorry."
"Yes, but Colin wasn't and even if he was a muggleborn he wanted to prove that even those less than half blood were powerful." Harry clutched Draco's hand tightly. "He's rotting in Azkaban where he belongs."
"Your best friend betrayed you and tried to take the easy way out." Andy sighed.
"I never would have done that to him, he was like a brother to me. The Weasleys are like family and now the Malfoys are family along with my godfather and his husband."
"They had children too correct?" Xeno.
"Yes, my godfather Sirius gave birth to twins, Stella and Soran and Draco's dads had a boy Asterion." All three smiled and scribbled again.
"You love Draco Harry?" Luna asked and Harry looked directly at her.
"I love him and my daughter more than anything."
"That's enough for me." Andy closed his pad. "Thank you for seeing me Mr. Potter." He shook hands with Harry and Draco then departed out the door.
"We have enough too Harry, don't worry we won't reveal anything than what's necessary." Xeno shook their hands as well and turned to Luna.
"See you tomorrow Harry." Luna smiled and winked at Draco before leaving.
"Feel better?" Draco nodded.
"Much, let's go see Cissa." They walked straight to their daughter's nursery where Lucius was there rocking her.
"How'd it go?"
"Well, we only told them the truth and that's all they wanted to hear." Lucius smiled and passed Cissa to Harry.
"She did well, already fed and changed." Draco hugged Lucius.
"Thank you father." Lucius hugged them both once more before leaving. He and Sev were already situated in their rooms and Sirius and Remus had taken place in the southern wing of the manor with the twins.
"We're going out tomorrow sweetie, you're going to meet some new friends." Harry whispered to Cissa.
"Enemies too Harry, there're still some out there." Draco leaned in on Harry's shoulder.
"No one's gonna hurt you or our daughter Draco, no one." Harry placed Cissa in her cradle and held Draco. "Tomorrow will be a good day regardless of what anyone says, the prophet and Quibbler on our side."
"I know…I just can't help feeling worried."
"It's natural for new mothers." Draco looked up at him.
"I'm the wife am I?"
"Well you did bottom and give birth so…" Draco punched him in the arm.
"You're such a brat."
"Hey now little ears here." Harry pointed at the baby and Draco just dragged him to their room across the hall. Harry scooped Draco up in his arms and threw him on the bed, kissing every inch of skin revealed.
"Harry…" Draco giggled with each kiss.
"I love you Draco, I want you so bad…"
"There's a baby across the hall!" Harry smiled but laughed.
"She sleeps like a log dragon, she won't wake." Harry bent down to nibble on Draco's earlobe, getting a whimper in response. "You were so sexy when you were pregnant, you still are…" he kissed under his ear. "So beautiful, so arousing, so…delectable."
"Harry…please…"
"You want me Draco?" he stared into hazy silver eyes and kissed the full pink lips.
"Yes, yes." Harry quickly stripped of his and Draco's clothes and wrapped Draco's legs around his waist.
"You want it now?" Draco looked up at him slightly scared. "Just kidding sweetheart." Harry started kissing down the pale neck and nipped at the collarbone.
"Oh…"
"Easy babe." Harry suckled on the pink nipples and licked at the sensitive nubs making Draco moan and whine. He soon moved his hand up and down Draco's erect cock and moved Draco's legs off him. "Turn over, on all fours."
"W-What?" Draco looked up at him.
"You'll like it I promise." Draco slowly moved himself on his hands and knees, and then groaned as Harry's tongue dragged itself down his back and to his sensitive entrance. As Harry's hands gripped his cheeks and spread them open Draco's moaning got louder when the wet muscle licked at his hole.
"Ohh…ah ah! H-Harry!" Harry smiled and slipped a wet finger inside. "Ugh!"
"Yes…that feels good doesn't it?" Harry inserted two more fingers and Draco mewled. "You're ready." Harry stood up positioning himself carefully before inserting the head in first.
"Harry do it!" Draco whined and Harry pushed in full force getting a nice long throaty moan in return. Harry pushed in and out slowly at first and each time Draco stroked his own cock Harry would hit his prostate.
"Damn…so hot…" Harry groaned picking up the pace.
"Harry I'm…I'm gonna…"
"I know…me too…" they continued on and then Draco came first. Harry pushed in a few more times and then came after him; they collapsed beside each other on the bed, and then Harry cast a 'Scourgify' to clean the mess. "You're so gorgeous Draco." He kissed him and Draco was near asleep.
"And you're damn handsome." He mumbled and about fell asleep in Harry's arms.
"Goodnight Draco, I love you."
"I love you too." They went to sleep minutes later.
The next morning:
"Boys are you ready?" Hermione had come to meet up with them to go into Diagon Alley.
"We're coming Hermione." Draco called out as he was putting Cissa in her carrier. Lucius and Sev were spending the day together as well with Aster, and Moony and Padfoot were going to spend some private time with each other because Molly had offered to babysit the twins.
"Got the bag?" Harry asked packing in some clothes just in case.
"Everything needed, diapers, powder, clothes, burp rags, bottles, etc." Draco put on Cissa's little pink hat and held onto the bag. "You ready?"
"Yeah, let's go." The prophet had come out that morning, but neither male cared since they knew Andy's article made the front page. That and the Quibbler had already sold dozens of copies since Harry and Draco's picture was on the front with Cissa.
"About time." Hermione with her usual impatient attitude, tapping her foot by the fireplace.
"Sorry, this one's a late sleeper." Harry patted Cissa's head.
"Well let's get going then." They flooed straight to WWW and met up with the carrot top twins.
"Hello lovebirds." They said.
"Hey guys, read the prophet?" Fred held up the front page.
Harry Potter engaged to Draco Malfoy!
"It's all the truth, nothing out of the ordinary like Skeeter would have wanted." Hermione smiled.
"Andy really came through." Draco.
"He's one of the best reporters." Hermione cooed at Cissa. "Ready to face the music?"
"What now?" Harry laughed.
"Muggle expression, meaning are we ready to face everyone?" Draco rolled his eyes but nodded.
"Let's do this." Hermione kissed George's cheek and then Harry heard Draco gasp.
"Hermione…is that a ring on your finger?" Hermione looked at her hand and Harry saw it too, a gold ring with a ruby in the middle. Hermione blushed and looked at George.
"I wanted to tell you sooner…but…?"
"You're engaged? Congrats!" Harry hugged Hermione and she laughed.
"Thanks Harry." Draco kissed her cheek.
"Glad to see you're happy."
"Thank you too Draco, but let's get going." They made it out to the front of the store and Angelina was busy about to open up. The minute they set foot outside the store they received many stares from viewers all around. "So what's first?"
"How about…Madame Malkin's? I could use some new clothes." Draco.
"Sure." Unfortunately just before they could walk off two familiar girls came up to them, Romilda and Lavender.
"Harry Potter." Romilda Vane in the flesh. "Come out of your cowardly hiding have you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't you, hiding with your little whore and his daughter when you clearly shouldn't be." Hermione pointed her wand at Romilda's throat.
"That is Harry's fiancé and child you're insulting Vane, watch your mouth."
"How can you be sure Granger, Malfoy could be a whore like his father?" Harry stepped forward pointing his wand.
"She's my child Vane, Draco and I were faithful to each other and if you have a problem with him or my daughter then get lost." Romilda just sneered.
"You could've done so much better, but then you had to go and break Ginny's heart."
"She has nothing to do with this." Hermione growled. "Ginny's making up for what she did and she's left Harry alone."
"This coming from a mud…"
"Shut up Romilda!" they all turned to Lavender in surprise. "They already proved nothing that happened was their fault, let's just leave it."
"Lavender you're seriously going to support them after what happened to your boyfriend?"
"Ron made his choice, it was his fault." Lavender looked down. "Just go inside, I'd like to talk to them alone." Romilda glared but left in silence. "I'm sorry…"
"Don't be, Romilda's always been like that." Harry.
"No I mean, I'm sorry for how I treated all of you. I knew Ron was out of line, but then he had to go and…" tears came to her eyes. "I'm sorry."
"It's ok." Harry smiled at her. "Ron manipulated all of us; he just made the wrong choices." Harry stared at her.
"It's weird you know, he told me…he loved me but he didn't mean it." She looked at Hermione. "He still wanted you, never stopped talking about you and his brother."
"Let's not talk about that." Hermione touched Lavender's shoulder. "We're just sorry that it had to end that way for Ron." Lavender flinched and then smiled.
"I hope you're happy with George Hermione, you deserve to be. You too Harry, Draco." Lavender nodded at them and left into the shop.
"Glad to see she's come around." Draco.
"Me too." Harry held Draco's hand and they continued on their little trip, but stopped as a large red light flew past them almost hitting Draco. Harry and Hermione turned with their wands drawn and their eyes widened at the culprit.
"Hello Potter."
"Hello Nott." Nott fired a spell at Harry and disarmed Hermione. Harry blocked the hex at him and stood in front of Draco only to be stunned and disarmed before Nott grabbed Draco's shoulder and disapparated.
Figured I'd stop it here, don't worry there won't be any more abuse or whatever in this one. I also plan on having a little surprise in the next chapter, reasons why Nott joined the Dark Lord and helped Creevey.
R&R
Later!
