Chapter 4: Oh No She Didn't!

Draco couldn't believe that Pansy did that. He never saw it coming either, but with Harry, he can. As soon as Draco got over his shock, Draco shoved her away and punches her in the face. She looked shocked, but Draco didn't care. He then said, "What the Hell Pansy! I thought you would have been happy for me like Blaise and Theodore. Now go if you can't show that you can support us. I have and always will, but not now, loved you like a sister, Pansy."

She stormed away and yelled, before apparating away, "I'll prove it to you that he's not your mate. I'm the only one for you."

Draco sighs and turns to Harry. He then pulls Harry into a hug (Harry kept walking to Draco through this conversation). Draco noticed that he was shaking. Harry hasn't said anything, he only made the hug tighter. Draco smiles in the hug. He also feels love, warmth, and home from Harry and Draco loves that feeling. Draco remembers the feeling of panic for his mate during the final battle.

-Flashback-

After they got out of the ROR, Harry suddenly left. Even though Draco just got a pang of loneliness, Death Eaters swarmed them and started shooting spells. They didn't care if Draco is a Death Eater as well. Then as suddenly as they come, they left. Draco just looked as confused as Ron and Hermione. Just before he could ask them, they heard a voice saying, "Potter it's over. Come out before midnight and we'll leave Hogwarts be."

He then left Ron and Hermione, to find Harry. Draco is hoping to talk to Harry before he did something stupid. Draco searched the castle three times, but couldn't find him. A minute before midnight, Draco felt something strange. He doesn't know what to call it because it is hard to explain. If felt like his mate died, but that couldn't be true. Draco knows that Harry couldn't die because he just got him, but that is what it felt like for two hours. That was the most awful thing Draco has ever felt. The feeling went away just as it came. So Draco hid in the shadows near the front of the castle when he saw a group of people walking forwards.

What Draco saw made his heart sink. He saw Harry limp in Hagrid's hands. Though he feels a weak bond from Harry. So Draco slinks away to get his parents and tell them. Draco is also trying to get a plan to also get Harry safe. Though as soon as Draco saw his parents, he couldn't tell them.

Even though Draco didn't find them until the end of the battle, his mom is crying in dad's arms. He slowly goes up and asks, "What's going on mom and dad?"

Dad looks up, grief showing in his eyes, and said, "Your godfather, Severus, hasn't been found. Harry told us where he was and what happened, but when we went there, he wasn't there. And he hasn't shown up since either."

Draco can tell he now hates Harry more because of my godfather, his friend, isn't where Harry said he was. Draco's mom never looked up and continued to sob, tore at his heart. So he goes over and hugs his mom. The next day though he had to escape to mourn…

-End of Flashback-

Draco says softly, "I'm fine. At least she didn't get far. Thanks for coming. I needed this afterwards."

Harry pulls away and smiles. Then he says, "Come on. Their back my house. I'm pretty sure Pansy didn't see them. Besides what's the most she can do?"

We head back and I sneaked, Harry noticed, at holding Harry's hand. We were pretty quiet on the short trip back to Harry's apartment. As we shared a quick, love filled, kiss. And not looking back we entered the house. Without them knowing, someone had followed them to Harry's apartment. That someone smiled an evil smile and walked away, whistling.

Draco let Dudley know that Harry and he are at home, so they also can come back. Dudley replied back with an okay. Draco then went to find Harry. He was in the kitchen making some tea and cucumber sandwiches as a snack. Draco snuck behind him and put his arms around Harry. Draco could feel Harry chuckling.

Meanwhile with Dudley and Teddy…

Dudley helped Teddy get off the slide for the last time so they could go back to Harry's apartment, when Teddy said, "Who's that ugly lady near Uncle Harry's house? She doesn't look very nice."

Dudley looked up and saw the girl that Teddy was talking about. Dudley made a mental note to let Harry know because she looks like she is up to no good. (So Pansy did get noticed, but that doesn't mean she won't be a nuisance to them. Just lucky she didn't see Dudley or Teddy). Dudley had Teddy and him stay at the area they're at until that girl, Dudley asked, "Do you want to go back to Harry's House? They got there earlier."

Teddy eagerly said yes. So they headed to Harry's apartment immediately. As soon as Teddy went in the door, Harry came out to see them, and tackled Harry. Harry just laughed and picked up Teddy.

Dudley saw Draco coming out of the kitchen to see what the noise was (Teddy was also giggling). Draco then smiled at the scene. Then to catch their attention Dudley says," Well I best be off. I have to get to get back home to take care of my pets. I'll see you guys tomorrow after work, okay?"

Both, Draco and Harry, agreed. Dudley left as soon as they got Teddy's attention to say good bye.

"So", said Harry to get Teddy's attention back to him, "what do you want for dinner tonight?"

That got him thinking. While he's thinking I smiled a comforting one to Draco. He saw Draco go in the kitchen to bring out the snack that he made. A chuckle drew Harry back to Teddy. He had a smile and a twinkle in his eyes. That got Harry nervous. He was expecting Teddy to say something expensive or something to go out and get, but now what he said. Teddy said, "I want shrimp fried rice with crab rangoon and wontons! I haven't had any Chinese food since we last had it."

Harry smiles, in surprise, and says, "Sure. We have all the stuff in the kitchen. Do you want to help making the wontons? I'm already having Draco doing them even though he doesn't know it. I'm going to start on dinner in a bit. Right now let's relax. Who wants to play a game?"

Let's see how Narcissa and Lucius are doing

"What is it that you want to say?" said Narcissa, sitting on a chair a crossed from where Lucius is sitting. Lucius fidgets, doesn't know how to word his question right, in his seat. Finally after a few minute Lucius says, "Is it really Harry Potter that is Draco's mate? I'm not going to say anything bad, I'm just curious."

Narcissa thought on what he said and he sounded sincere. So she replied, "What if it is? What would you do?"

Without hesitation Lucius replies, "Then I would try to get to know him as Harry and not The-Boy-Who-Lived twice. I don't want Draco to kick me out of his life. So now can you tell me if Draco's mate is Harry?"

She smiles. Narcissa is proud of how Lucius look past their past interactions. She decides to invite them over for dinner. Narcissa is hoping that Harry enjoys Chinese food (The Malfoy's love changing the food they eat a week). So she said, "Okay. It is Harry and I'm inviting them over for dinner. I want you to handle yourself ok? I'll go use the fireplace in the living room. You can go back to reading if you want dear."

As she left, Lucius went back to reading and sipping his wine, while deciding on not judging what Harry say. Who knows maybe Harry might surprise him.

As Narcissa gets to the living room, she hopes that Remus knows where they are (Remus and Narcissa have been friends since third year of Hogwarts). As soon as she got to the fireplace, it was blinking like an incoming call. She answers and it was Draco calling, he looked shaken up. Narcissa immediately asks, "What happened?"

He smiles and says, "Just remembered what happened earlier today. Had a confrontation with Pansy today. She's still insisting that she's my mate, not Harry. Then she kissed me forcefully. That got me off guard and as she left, she said that she'll prove it's her that is my mate. I know for a fact that she isn't, but I'm afraid on how far she'll go."

Narcissa's eyes soften and she replies, "You guys can stay over here for awhile. Your dad has done the mature thing and wants to get to know the real Harry. I was going to invite you guys to dinner tonight."

Draco thinks and says, "I'll go ask Harry and fire call you back. There will be three of us though. Teddy, Harry's godson, is staying with Harry for a few days."

Narcissa agrees and let's Draco get off. She knows that Teddy is still little so he will need less food. So she calls Rose, the house elf, and lets her know that a little kid is coming over. Rose nodded eagerly because she loves kids. Now that Narcissa has a chance to relax she gets a cup of tea only to see the fireplace turn green. She answers and to her surprise, it's Severus Snape that she is seeing.
