I am sure, I am certain that what I feel is love.Before I only liked him, but now I love him, I love every gesture, every moment, every day at his side, and as time goes by I feel that this love grows and does not stop growing, for Merlin's sake!I don't know if I can bear that much.

The burrow.

Draco stated that he wanted to join Harry at the Burrow's Sunday gatherings.

Of course, Harry was surprised.For a few months now he had thought about inviting him, but he didn't think the blonde would accept right away and he also didn't want to seem like he was pressuring him in any way.After all, going to visit your suitor's family can mean a lot of things whichever way you look at it, so she assured him that he didn't have to do it, that he could wait until the courtship was over (insinuating that he would say yes as well). answer), but Draco insisted that he wanted to go.

Are you sure you want to do this?Harry asked before they crossed the barriers that delimited the property.

The blonde nodded.

I don't keep track, but I'm sure I already said yes to you at least forty-two times.

Okay, I promise not to ask again.

Draco snorted, of course he wouldn't do it again, they were already a few steps away from being surrounded by a crowd of redheads.

Crossing the barriers, he was surprised and almost gasped when he saw a crooked house at the bottom of the hill;In fact, she didn't make any comments, but carefully observed every detail of the place.There were four or five chimneys scattered here and there on the roof of the house, multiple floors built in a haphazard manner giving the appearance that at any moment the building would collapse.In fact, it would surely collapse if it weren't for the magic that protected the place.

You are feeling the magic, aren't you?the alpha asked with a light smile.

Yes, it is quite strong, almost as strong as the one that owns the mansion.

As he answered, some chickens ran past them, Draco wanted to roll his eyes, this was so typical of the Weasleys.Before it would surely have seemed ordinary and vulgar to him, he would have even compared every aspect of the façade with that of the mansion, he even thought of the alvin peacocks contrasting terribly with those chickens, but no longer, now it seemed very funny to him and it actually aroused his curiosity. .

"Much of the house was rebuilt," Harry explained, "when they returned after the war, they discovered that the Death Eaters damaged the original construction."

Draco became serious at the mention of Death Eaters, the brunette immediately realized it.

My intention is not to make you feel bad about this.You did not do anything wrong…

Still I don't like to talk about… he hesitated for a moment.I don't like talking about them, or anything that has to do with Death Eaters.

I'm sorry.Harry apologized immediately.

Draco realized he was acting a little selfish.Both had suffered during the war, in different ways, but at the end of the day because of the same magician, he had no right to pretend that only he continued to suffer the consequences.

Potter, you are always the one who apologizes.

The man in question stopped to look him in the face.

I just didn't want to make you remember that.I know you also had a hard time at that time .And she shook her head.Sometimes I behave as if only I have suffered.

Draco smiled, his smile was wide and he was sure his eyes were shining.

We both suffer, okay?You have to forget this, please.I don't want to make a scene in front of my potential futurein-laws' house.

And he glanced forward, his eyes coming across a sign that said 'The Burrow', Harry opened his mouth to speak, but before he could utter a syllable Molly Weasley opened the door and ran out with her arms wide open. wide in their direction.

"Harry, we were waiting for you," the woman said as soon as she wrapped up the alpha.Harry reciprocated the hug, great happiness reflected on her face.

"And Draco," Mrs. Weasley separated from the brunette and went for the blonde to also give him a warm hug.Welcome Draco, on behalf of my family I thank you for coming to visit us!

"Th-thank you..." he said hesitantly, the witch gave him a kiss on the cheek.

They passed the house and Draco was even more surprised;If the outside was messy, he had no words for the inside.But it wasn't just the appearance of the place, but the large number of wizards and witches who remained arranged in a half circle in the living room, all staring at them.

hello!Harry greeted.Ehh… Today I brought a guest.Draco…Malfoy, my destined mate.Draco - the aforementioned looked at him suddenly confused, he did not know what to do in the presence of so many Weasleys -, they are the Weasleys, my… family.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you," he answered what he thought was correct and it seemed that it was because in seconds a large number of them approached to greet him and let him know their names.

If he was honest, the blonde thought that they would not receive him so well, in fact, he imagined multiple scenarios, including one where they did not see him favorably and another where everyone simply pretended that he did not exist.But none of that happened and Sunday morning became a pleasant time.He felt relaxed and happy, there were no labels nor were they judging what he did, they just allowed him to be who he was.

Back at the mansion, Draco was more sure of his plans than ever, although it was not appropriate to reveal them yet.

"Master Draco," a house elf appeared in front of him as soon as they stepped inside.Mistress Narcissa and Master Lucius came out, offering an excuse for dinner.

"It's okay, I'm not planning to have dinner," he responded, he had eaten so much at La Madriguera that he doubted he had room in his stomach for an olive.I'm going to go to bed.

"I... I think I'll go back to Grimmauld Place," Harry explained, already heading to the fireplace.

Don't be like that... sleep with me.Seeing the alpha's skeptical expression he added.He swore I won't do anything more than that.And he started to laugh.

Now Harry was blushing.How could that be possible after everything they had done?

Seriously, let's go to sleep.Even though you've been smiling all afternoon, I can tell you're stressed and haven't slept well lately.

Finally the alpha accepted.

"You're right, I feel annoyed," he admitted once they got to the room and fell on the bed, resting his head on Draco's lap, who was just about to take off his shoes.

After spending so much time together and all the intimate moments they had shared, the closeness between them became more pronounced.The two already seemed like a couple, even though Draco still didn't give a definitive answer.

"Stop complaining, Potter, it's only a few days away and you'll be free," Draco said calmly, referring to the upcoming end-of-year holidays, as he began to stroke the black hair slowly, running his long, thin fingers through the strands.Harry closed his eyes and tried to relax, but he still felt stressed and tired.He felt too pressured.He had so much work, Robards breathing down his neck and anxiety that he would soon receive a response from the omega;He couldn't believe it had already been a year since he discovered that Draco was his destined mate.He breathes deeply and relax.

"I'm trying to relax," he groaned tiredly.

And you're not making it, I can smell how stressed you are.

Harry sighed, he really didn't want his mood to get to Draco, but he just wasn't good at controlling his temper sometimes.

"Let me help you," the omega whispered while emitting a kind of soft snore.

Are you purring?Harry asked surprised.

You do it too."Now, close your mouth and concentrate," the blonde ordered.

When was it that…?

I said shut your mouth.

Harry remained silent, wondering when he purred and why Draco had heard it - purring in alphas was not common, in fact, they did it in quite specific situations (for example, when they reach a state of complete relaxation). , but he soon forgot the question, because his partner's purr began to calm him, he managed to lower his stress levels and he even fell deeply asleep.
