Chapter 1
Harry glanced around nostalgically, this would be the last time he stood on platform 9 ¾ to board the train for Hogwarts. The next time would hopefully be to send his children off to school. Harry startled slightly before relaxing as he felt his boyfriends arms come around him.
"Thinking deep," said Draco.
"No, just reminiscing, you know this will be the last time we do this," Harry stated.
"But just think," Draco began, "the next time we stand on this platform on September 1st will be to see our kids off and of course they will be Slytherins."
"Of course," Harry replied before he caught what the blond had said, "wait did you say our kids." He finished turning to the blond with a huge smile on his face.
"Well," Draco stated matter of factually, "who else."
"But we aren't even engaged yet and you are already talking kids," Harry sputtered.
"Oh yes, about that," said Draco getting down on one knee.
Harry held his breath he couldn't believe this was happening right in front of all the students and parents.
"Harry," Draco said taking a deep breath, "I have wanted you in one capacity or another since I first saw you in Madam Malkin's shop all those years ago even then I was drawn to you and those emerald eyes that have haunted me since. I made a prat of myself that time and the next time I saw you and I decided then that if I couldn't be your friend then I would be your enemy. That worked for a while and it wasn't until later that I realized that I was just desperate for your attention, and by forth year when you fought that dragon I couldn't lie to myself anymore."
By this time the entire platform was watching the scene of the two most famous rivals since the Marauders and Snape as Draco Malfoy the Ice Prince of Slytherin poured his heart out to the Golden Boy. Most everyone looked like they were waiting for someone to yell "gotcha" but it never came.
"Then you did something in sixth year that made me love you even more, you helped me, someone who had mad your life miserable in school, and you forgave me and helped me. I realized then that I could never be worthy of someone with a spirit like yours but you made me want to be and I settled for your friendship because then at least then I could be near you, but then it got even better because you shared my feelings. Now, I know that we haven't been a couple long, but I have loved you since I first saw you before I even knew your name. So Harry will you do me the honor of bonding with me." Draco finished looking at Harry expectantly.
Harry couldn't speak he was choked up and had tears in his eyes. All he could do was nod and throw himself at the blond knocking them both to the ground and covering his lips in a passionate kiss.
The crowd cheered most thinking that at least this year. How could they not this was the-boy-who-lived and the son of a death eater getting together. This gave the people hope for the future.
Harry for once didn't notice the crowd around him or hear the cheers of his classmates and their parents. All he saw was Draco as the blond sat up laughing and placed an engagement band on his finger. He looked at the band and felt his eyes well up again. He knew he was acting like a girl but at this moment he couldn't care less. The band was exactly Harry and Draco. It was a silver dragon with diamonds for eyes and a gold lion with emeralds for eyes intertwined.
Unbeknownst to Harry and Draco as they were boarding the train and still being congratulated by their friends someone else was watching with not so nice thoughts. This person was glaring at the couple planning revenge wrongs perceived.
