Chosen Prompt: Manor covered in snow
Chapter 11:
Draco landed in his living room with Theo looking up at him with a worried expression on his face. Draco couldn't stand it and ran out of his house and into the yard. He ran down the path until his legs couldn't carry him any longer and landed on his knees into the snow. He turned around to look at his house. He ran so far, it was in the distance and the snow covering the yard made it look beautiful. The trees were covered in a thin layer of snow and the posts had some stuck to the top of the. He loved that it made it look clean and peaceful, nothing like himself.
Harry's explanation hurt him. He couldn't believe that the man he had loved would throw him away after one memory he looked at without talking to him about it first. He thought he had known Harry better than that. He never wanted his son to see that man, and he wasn't so sure about wanting to get to know the Twins and he only knew one of their names for crying out loud. He was brought up with his father spewing hatred about people different than him, and now his own sons were raised in the same way, the way Tobias would never be raised.
His head was hung and looking towards the ground when he heard the crunch of feet in the snow coming towards him. It was at a rapid pace of someone running.
"Papa, Papa are you alright. Uncle Theo said you ran outside. Are you hurt?" His son ran up to him and threw his arms around Draco's neck. Draco wrapped his arms around his son and pulled him close.
"Papa is alright Tobias. I just needed some air." He stated pulling back and looking at his son.
"Why are you on the ground?" Tobias asked and Draco smiled at him.
"So I could do this." Draco said before he started to tickle his son making him fall to the ground into the snow.
"Papa stop." Draco stopped and pulled back and watched his son start to move his arms and legs.
"I'm making a snow angel Papa." Tobias stood up and they looked at the ground and saw the snow angel, made perfectly from his tiny body.
"That's great son, let's go inside so I can talk to Uncle Theo now alright." Tobias nodded and began to run through the snow back to the Manor. When Draco entered the house he told Tobias to go play in his room and he sat down with Theo, not really wanting to talk but knowing he had to.
"Are you alright Draco?" Theo asked placing a hand on his friends shoulder.
"I will be." Draco started out with then told him everything Harry had told him. Theo shaking his head the whole time.
"I can't believe that Blaise was doing that the whole time. Thought he was our friend." Theo stated.
"I know. But I can't believe Harry would have sat there and believed everything he was telling him and not trusting me, the person he was supposed to love." Draco dropped his head into his hands and willed himself not to cry.
"I think you need to get to know your other sons. I know you may not want to but they are not bad kids. They listened to Blaise thinking he was their father and wanted to have him love them, and when Harry didn't go against what Blaise was saying they thought it was perfectly alright. Harry has talked to them since and they are coming around. You need to let them know you are their Papa, Draco." Theo stated.
"I know that I need to get to know them, they are my flesh and blood. I think I will, are they still at your house do you know? I will need you to stay here with Tobias, I don't want him to know just yet." Draco stated and saw his friend nod.
"Harry needed time so Pansy is keeping them over night. I told her I would suggest you go talk to them, she didn't tell Harry." Theo stated and Draco stood up, ready to go talk to his sons that he never knew.
