Chosen Prompt: Burning Fire.
Chapter 9:
Draco didn't know what to think of the letter he received from Harry that morning. He had quickly dressed and grabbed his son then returned home. He quietly sat in front of the burning fire thinking of everything he had read.
"Boo Papa." Little hands came around to his eyes making him jump for a second. He reached around and pulled Tobias over and onto his lap.
"Silly boy you scared Papa." He laughed as he tickled his sons stomach making him scream and laugh.
"Stop Papa, stop. Tickles." He wiggled around and tried getting off of Draco's lap. Draco stopped and rested his arms around his sons waist and his head on his shoulder.
"I love you son." Draco stated and he closed his eyes. He needed to speak to Harry before he said anything to Tobias, or Harry said anything to the twins.
"Love you to Papa." Tobias replied. Draco stared back into the fire with his son on his lap not knowing what to really do.
"Let's go back to Aunt Pansy's I need to speak with her and Uncle Theo." Draco stated.
"Alright." Tobias said as he ran off to get ready.
Moments later Draco was standing back in Pansy and Theo's and watching his son run up the stairs to play with his friends. Pansy looked at him with worry etched on her face and motioned for him to sit down.
"Are the Twins up there?" Draco asked just remembering they spent a lot of time here.
"No they are with Harry." Pansy stated.
"Good. Last night I did something stupid." Draco began.
"And what was that. I saw you go up to your guest room with someone." Theo stated sitting back and taking a drink of his glass.
"I slept with that person, it was great. But I found out this morning it was Harry." He looked to the floor at that point, not wanting to see his friends faces.
"What." Theo almost yelled but Pansy was sitting there as calm as ever.
"You knew he was here." Draco stated to her and Theo looked over shocked.
"You didn't Pansy. Did you?" Theo asked looking at his wife.
"I did. I didn't know it would go that far. I just thought he would talk to you and nothing else. I'm so sorry Draco." Pansy cried out.
"He wrote me this morning, that is how I know it was him. I didn't know last night, I wouldn't let him take off our masks. I should have let him and it wouldn't have ever happened. He also told me that those twins are mine and some other stuff. I just don't know what to do. I can't trust him, not after everything he did. How am I supposed to talk to him and know that he let Blaise brainwash him into leaving me, then not believing me when I told him Tobias was his.
"How am I supposed to get to know those two other boys and bring them around Tobias as his brothers when they tormented him on things that Harry told them. I don't know if I can look at the twins as mine. I mean I had a feeling when I looked at them that they were not Blaise's but to have them be mine and how they treated Tobias, I don't know what to do."
"Oh Draco. I am so sorry. You should sit down with Harry and talk." Draco stated.
"But what am I going to do with Tobias. I know you guys will end up watching the twins, I don't want him around them until I get this figured out." Draco stated.
"I can watch Tobias at your place when you talk to Harry." Theo stated.
"That would be good, Thank you. I think I need to write to Harry, can I use your owl." Draco asked and when he saw Pansy nod he got up and walked up to the study.
Harry,
We need to talk. Bring your boys over to Pansy's and I will meet you at yours. I will get your floo address from Pansy. I'll be there in an hour.
Draco.
He sent the owl off and returned back down to his friends. He got the floo address from Pansy and grabbed Tobias and Theo and returned home. He had an hour to wait and then the conversation he had been needing to have to the past several years was going to happen, how it would end he didn't know, but he had to go through with it.
