Chapter 13 Two Hearts
Harry and Fleur took the triples out to the garden to play while the rest of the group was busy working on their various projects.
"They are good for you," said Fleur as they watched the children play among the flowers. Harry smiled and nodded.
"That they are, Evie, no so far," called Harry as the little girl started to wonder out of the garden before turning back. "I wish there was no war. No need to stress. That this could be our own personal Nirvana."
"I do not understand that term."
"Sorry it means haven, personal Eden."
"Ah."
"Daddy," said Evie running up. "Will you play hide and seek with us?"
"Pwease," said Killian his eyes big.
"Well…" said Harry smiling at Fleur. "I don't know."
"Pwease," said Killian and Evie together and Meav showed her big blue eyes.
"One, two, three…" The children squealed with excitement and ran off. "Are you going to play Fleur."
"No, I think that I'll stay here."
"Ok, I hope that the others find something about the location of Potter Castle."
"Maybe you will have to do that yourself."
"What do you mean?"
"It may be tied to your personal family magic. Something that only you will be able to find."
"Perhaps. But I cannot leave my children behind while I go risk myself. I have to do what is best for them now."
"Harry, you have always done what is best for others. But you should go find out for yourself the home of your ancestors."
"WE'RE READY!" yelled the triples and Harry and Fleur laughed.
"Go get them tiger," said Fleur before laying back on the blanket. Harry laughed and got up before walking off in the direction that they had ran.
Later in the afternoon, Mrs. Weasley made sandwiches for everyone and everyone came outside to join them in the garden but Hera who was watching over Colin.
"These are good," said Harry. "I had forgotten how good your food was Mrs. Weasley." She beamed and took a drink of lemonade.
"How have the kids been," said Draco slipping his arm around Harry's waist.
"Wonderful," said Harry leaning back into Draco's embrace.
"Have you heard anything from the others?" asked Fleur to Blaise and Aurora.
"Nothing, they have been gone for hours now," said Blaise and Killian and Evie jumped on him and Aurora respectively. Meav went to sit next to Draco who pulled her onto his lap.
"I wouldn't worry," said Bill. "They are probably going through the house searching everywhere."
"Harry dear," said Mrs. Weasley. "I've been meaning to ask you, where is Hermione?"
"She went to Sirius' home with Ron, the twins and Ginny."
"Oh, I haven't seen her since we got here."
"You have. She had a spell placed on her that broke when a potion of revealment spilled onto her. She is a blonde now."
"So, Neville," said Luna. "Tell us what you and your grandmother have been up to."
"We are taking care of the greenhouse and priming the plants for the upcoming battle."
"What are you talking about?" said Mrs. Weasley sharply.
"Mrs. Weasley," started Harry.
"Harry, you can't be serious."
"Mrs. Weasley. I understand your worry, but what is my life, all of ours if we do not fight to defend ourselves and the helpless."
"Why you though? You're…"
"Only a boy? I'm sorry that you think that. I was never a boy. I was forced into being an adult a long time ago." Draco laid a hand on Harry's arm and Harry turned to look at Draco and a silent understanding went on between them. "I'm sorry, I meant no disrespect Mrs. Weasley, but I will not just be a boy when I have not been one in a very long time." He got up and walked into the garden.
"Meav, darling," said Draco. "Why don't you go to Fleur." Fleur took the girl in her arms and they both started to laugh when Fleur whispered something in her ear. "Excuse me." Draco got up and followed after Harry.
"Harry," said Draco walking out to the edge of the cliff to stand next to Harry. "It's ok."
"If only it was, mi amore."
"What's bothering you?"
"Draco, to be honest everything. How can I know that I can be a good parent? My own parents were killed in front of me when I was a child so as an effect I was sent to an abusive home for over 11 years. I'm expected to be a brave leader when honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing. My inner circle is nowhere near as powerful as we could be. We need to get everyone we can to join our fight."
"We will, my love."
"How do you know? Look at Colin. He is down and out of commission. Dennis is dead as so many others are. Hogwarts is under new order. The teachers have fled or been killed. And on top of all of that we are going to go up against your parents, as so many other pure bloods who are relatives to many of us."
"How do I know? Place your hand on my chest." Harry did as Draco asked. "Do you feel that? That's my heart. And this yours. I belong to you and you to me. Our hearts are one. We beat as one. Two hearts that are one. One that is only whole when two halves are together."
"Thank you," said Harry before kissing Draco gently.
"Well now that I can't not see that," said a voice from behind them and they turned to see Bill standing there. "Colin is awake." Draco and Harry looked at each other before Harry headed for the house Draco and Bill behind him.
I'm so sorry that it has been such a long time that I have updated. I really haven't had any ideas about what to do next in this chapter, but I know how I want it to end. It's just getting there that is the hard part.
Please, please, please review. I need you to help me out here. I need ideas guys otherwise it will take longer than expected to write this book.
Peace out moonlight readers, may you find peace and rest.
