Chapter 05 – Night In

Tony waited for Draco to answer his phone he looked at his watch eight pm. It had taken time to track the witness down but once they did, he kicked Tony in the knee and ran. Tony went down in agony and Tim ran after him tackled him and cuffed him. By the time, they got him to NCIS and questioned him. Gibbs had found out about Tony's knee and told Tim to take Tony to get checked out at the hospital. Once back at NCIS, Gibbs read the Doctors report and told them to be back Monday morning and for Tony to stay with McGee until then. Gibbs and Ziva would handle the rest of the questioning. With the angry and determined expressions Gibbs and Ziva had on their faces as walked to the room with the dirt bag they had no doubt they would have a confession in no time. A quick stop at Tony's so he could pack a bag, the two took turns showering and changing. Now Tim was watching him nervously from the kitchen as he fed McMutt.

"Hello"

"Hey Draco."

A chuckle and then a deeper voice than Draco's said. "I'm not Draco and you're not winning any brownie points by not knowing his voice."

Tony shook his head and laughed then said. "Well I thought you'd be sleeping McPotter."

Harry laughed and said. "You know I'm not sure if your giving me a hint, your blessing or teasing Tim and me when you say that DiNozzo."

"Would I do something like that? I thought I told you to call me Tony. You're too innocently cute and sweet to be old enough to forget that fast." teased Tony.

Harry huffed and said. "Are you calling me a child, flirting with me or calling me old DiNozzo?"

"Um why did Tony just yelp toss me his phone run and lock himself in my bedroom." Tim's voice said snickering.

Harry snickered and said. "Hello Tim. Tony was trying to be charming and I turned it back on him."

Tim laughed and said. "Well I heard his side what did you say?"

Harry laughed and said. "I asked if he was calling me a child, flirting with me or calling me old."

Tim laughed and then laughed harder when he heard Draco laughing as Harry told him.

"Tim, speaking of someone thinking I'm a child. Draco the big meanie has decided I am not allowed out tonight. However, if you and Tony want to come over we can order in and watch a movie or something?" Harry said half pouting.

Tim chuckled and said. "Yeah we can do that. Tony injured his knee today. He'll be fine but its best he stays off it for a while. Gibbs wants me and him to stay together this weekend just in case. Do you want us to pick something up or just order room service?"

Harry spoke to Draco for a minute then got back on the phone. "We're both sick of room service food. Why don't you and Tony pick up a couple of Pizza's? Get cheese for Draco and me. I think he will let me eat that. And if you can sneak in something chocolate past the warden I'd be grateful."

Tim was concerned he said. "Are you sick?"

Harry reassured him. "No. Draco's just being his normal overprotective self. I have been ordered nothing spicy or sweet until further notice. However, I am craving chocolate and spicy. Please Tim I need Dark Chocolate. I'm close to stunning Draco and making a break for it."

Tim laughed and said. "Alright I'll see what I can do. But if we get caught you're telling the big brothers as I hide behind you."

Harry laughed and said. "Aw, my protector at long last. See you soon Tim."

Tim laughed and said his goodbye then went to talk Tony out of his bedroom.

A few hours later, the Pizza's eaten and Draco had discovered the chocolate and raised an eyebrow at Harry.

"Harry what is this?" Draco asked.

Harry was snuggled up to Tim watching the movie they rented on the hotel TV he was content and full of pizza and the milk Draco insisted on. The pizza had had a kick to it that was just enough for his spicy craving. He looked over at Draco and saw a bag of Dark Chocolate Hershey Kisses in his hand that had fallen out of the bag of snack food Tim and Tony brought in. He started getting nervous.

"It looks like a bag of Dark Chocolate Hershey's kisses Draco?" Harry said.

Draco glared at Harry then at Tim he knew who had brought them and what his little brother had done. He turned to a nervous Harry and said sternly. "Harold James Snape-Potter I told you no spicy food and no chocolate. The Pizza was spicy and now this. Are you trying to make yourself sick?"

Harry hid his face in Tim's side. He cringed Draco would tell Tim and Tim would be pissed that he tricked him.

Draco sighed opened the bag and took four out. He handed them to Tim and said. "That's all he gets. I am not being cruel McGee. Harry has no will power when it comes to certain foods. He will get whatever he craves and then eat until he makes himself sick. Sev and I both try to monitor him, but he sneaks it behind our backs or tricks people into buying it for him."

Tim raised an eyebrow. Harry flinched against him and started trembling, Tim did not comment. He took the candy in one hand and with his other hand, rubbed Harry's back. He whispered in Harry's ear. "I'm not happy you tricked me and you did trick me Harry. You only told me half the reason Draco said no. However, let us chalk this up to experience and not let it happen again. Next time we will take a trip to your bedroom and after we discuss it until we'll find a punishment that we both agree meets the act. Do you understand me?"

Harry nodded. He was still trembling and he could not help but think he now had another person to be afraid of getting to the point of punishing him. He stood ignoring the candies Tim held out to him, went to his room and closed the door.

Tim looked at Draco with a raised eyebrow.

Draco gave a sigh, hung his head he could guess what was whispered, and knew how Harry would react to it. He looked at Tim and Tony both had confused but worried expressions on their faces as to why Harry went into his room. "Let me guess McGee. You let him off but said next time you'd punish him if he tricked you again right."

Tony looked confused but kept quiet.

Tim looked concerned and said. "Yes. Did I go too far? Is he angry?"

Draco shook his head and said. "Not angry scared. Is that what happened today someone punished him and he fell asleep after?"

Tony's eyes went wide this would not end well.

Tim nodded and told Draco everything.

Draco was on his feet and yelling as soon as he finished. "ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID? YOU LET A STRANGE MAN MY BROTHER SPENT LESS THAN A HOUR WITH PUNISH HIM. WHERE YOU ASKING TO GET YOUR ARSES KICKED OR BLOWN UP?"

"DRACONIS LUCUIS SNAPE-MALFOY DON'T YOU DARE YELL AT TIMOTHY. IT WAS NOT HIS FAULT. It was mine." The three men turned to see Harry in the doorway.

Draco was furious he stalked over to Harry. He took him in his arms and held him. He took a moment to calm down. Yelling at Harry would only make things worse. Once calm he said. "It wasn't your fault Harry. That bastard overstepped his authority. McGee does not know how bad it can get so I can excuse his ignorance, but Jimmy dam well knows better. I don't care if you set the fucking building on fire. You have a hard enough time getting punished from people who you know love you. What if your magic protected you and the baby? You could have seriously hurt this Gibbs person and even McGee since he was in the same room. Hell you could have leveled the building or the whole dam block depending on how much control you lost."

Harry legs started to fold as he realized what could have happened. Draco scooped him up and brought him to the couch. He glared at Tim when he moved toward him. Draco laid Harry on the couch and summoned a blanket and covered him then began pacing.

Tony wrapped his arms around Draco and whispered in his ear. "Gibbs is like a father to Tim and I. If I know Gibbs, and trust me I do. He meant what he said, when he told Harry to tell Tim if he needed to stop and that the punishment was not to scare or scar him. Jimmy must have warned him Draco. That must be why Gibbs had Tim there. Not only because they broke the rules together but also to help see Harry though it. Trust me if at any time Gibbs or Tim had even an inkling Harry was in trouble. They would have called Ducky and got Harry the help he needed. I know you and Harry don't know Gibbs but he's a good man and if he thought Harry or the baby was in danger he would have found another way. He has us run to think through what we've done wrong he's only there to reinforce the lesson with his questions and lecturing Draco."

Draco sighed and leaned into Tony he closed his eyes for a moment and did his best to calmed down and think through what Tony said. He let go a few minutes later and turned to find Tim holding Harry in his lap. Taking a deep breath and telling himself screaming at the man for his ignorance would not help matters, he said. "Ok so let me see if I have all the facts. Harry went to NCIS and found out you two are Agents on the team he would be working with. McGee as the Agent most advanced in computers on the team, was the lead Agent and assigned to work with him. Harry and Tim told each other who they were and Tim upon hearing his name looked at Harry's scar. Harry got upset and thinking he was being used, overreacted. Tim retaliated by manhandling him. Which I'm not happy about, but we'll come back to that. Harry used his magic to get away and ran into Jimmy. They talked and then Jimmy tried to bring Harry and Tim who they met on the way to the elevator to Gibbs. Jimmy left the elevator too soon, giving Tim a chance to lock him and Harry in the same elevator to talk. They somehow ended up with Harry's cousin Ducky, were Gibbs and Jimmy caught up with them. Gibbs then took Tim and Harry and had them run laps as he lectured and questioned them. After the two-comforted Harry, he fell asleep and had a nightmare. Gibbs had Tim texted Ducky and Jimmy. Upon arrival Jimmy scooped Harry up, did some magic to hide them from the rest of the room ran scans, and then woke him up. Then managed to piss Harry off and be hexed. After Tim and Harry left, Tony gave them medication and salve in a person named Abby's office. Where McGee and Harry worked until Harry called me? Then you grabbed your things and drove here. Did I miss anything?"

Harry could not help it he laughed. Tim bit his lip to stop himself from laughing but snickers came out.

Draco glared at both men and said. "I find nothing funny about what I just said."

Harry laughed harder and at Draco's glare forced himself to stop. He said. "When you're talking about Tim as an Agent you call him McGee when you talk about him with me he's Tim. Why don't you just call him Tim?"

Draco raised an eyebrow and said coldly. "I have called him Agent McGee, Mr. McGee, or simply McGee since I met him. As Agent McGee has not given permission for me to call him anything else, it is called manners. Which I know we both were raised with or have you forgotten them. I was just defining in my own mind the events that took place and the different roles Agent McGee took in them Harold."

Harry gulped he had forgotten Draco was still angry with him; he tended to fall back on being coldly polite when he was angry. He squeaked out. "Sorry Dray."

Tim looked from Harry to Draco and said politely. "I'm sorry Mr. Malfoy an oversight on my part. Please feel free to call me Tim."

Draco nodded and said. "Very well you may call me Draco."

Tony pulled Draco next to him on the couch and said. "Draco I don't understand why does Harry have to be concerned about his magic during punishment. I get from the reaction of you, Tim and Harry that punishments are difficult for him. What I don't understand is why?"

Draco sighed and looked at Harry. He said. "Harry you want to answer or should I."

Harry snuggled into Tim shifting his head to lay on Tim's chest and listen to his heartbeat. Tim wrapped his arms around him. Harry closed his eyes and then opening them he said. "It's not a topic I really want to go into but I can answer questions until I say stop or no. When I say stop or no then the subject is closed ok."

The three men nodded.

Tim looked down at Harry in his arms. He asked. "Can I go first?"

Harry grinned up at him and said. "You just did but that's not what you wanted to ask so go ahead."

Tim snorted and squeezed him tight then said. "Ok smart guy. My question is. Are you afraid of the people who discipline you? In addition, if I can ask did you leave the room because of what I said?"

Harry took a deep breath then let it out he said. "Yes and No, I am afraid of the punishment and the person during it. Afterward I am fine with the person. And although you are bending the rules, I will answer. Yes, I left because of what you said. I never thought you would punish me, so I left to deal with the possibility. I am not afraid of you. A little concerned of what might cause you to punish me and how I'll react to it, but not afraid of you."

Tim nodded and hugged Harry as he said. "Ok we can work with that. We need to talk about if you are ok with me punishing you or not. I don't want you to start being afraid of me."

Harry sighed he could leave it and let Tim think that or he could be honest. No, he decided it was too close to tricking him. He said softly. "Tim, I'm never going to be completely ok with anyone punishing me. As long as I am not overly scared, or in a flashback, it will be ok and we can get through it together. You can talk to Severus once you meet about what to do or not do."

Tim nodded.

Tony cleared his throat and said. "Ok I don't want to offend anyone or hurt you Harry but I have a question I need to ask."

Harry had a feeling what he was going to ask but he said. "I can't promise to answer but go ahead."

Tony looked at Harry then Draco and Tim then back at Harry. He said softly. "Where you abused is that why punishments are so hard for you? I'm not asking for detail just if that's why."

Harry opened his mouth to say it was too personal but he met Tony's eyes and saw a kindred spirit in them. His eyes said he would understand and not judge just listen. Harry started talking as he kept eye contact with Tony. "Growing up before Sev adopted me and after my parents died I was forced to live with my Aunts family. Everything that went wrong from the smallest thing to the largest was my fault even if I wasn't present when it happened. My Aunt and Uncle blamed me and I was punished harshly. After I was adopted by Sev it got better and I was only punished for my own rule breaking but it never left me. I also had an experience when I was young that I don't talk about and never have that affects me during punishments. Please don't ask I won't talk about it."

Tony nodded and said. "Have you considered seeing a mind healer? I did to deal with my own abusive childhood and she helped me a lot. She let me set the ground rules and I let her know when she was pushing too hard on something. And she let me know when I wasn't dealing with something but had to."

Tim and Draco were both shocked for different reasons but kept quiet and let the two talk. Both thinking maybe Tony and Harry could help each other.

Harry nodded and said. "I've considered it but with the boy who lived thing stigma. It's hard to find someone to trust and I don't like or trust Doctors or Healers normally. I know I'll have to find a Healer for me and the baby but I know it will be hard. Once they learn who the patient is they go starry eyed or dismiss me as an attention getter and ignore what I say."

Tony nodded and said. "I understand that could be hard. Draco mentioned the other day that you've been dismiss before that must be very frustrating. What about a person you know though? I know Draco can't be your Healer but surely he knows someone you'd feel comfortable with. And you wouldn't have to go alone if you don't want to. Tim could go with you or Draco or if you want I could. I know I joke around a lot but I can be serous if it's important and this is important Harry."

Harry smiled and said. "How come I have a feeling I've got another big brother?"

Tony smiled and said. "Because you do McPotter. You and Timmy are made for each other and besides I'm the best big brother just ask Timmy."

Harry looked up at Tim. He said. "Well?"

Tim pretended to think and said. "Well if you can get past the McNicknames and the Movie references and the pranks he's ok."

Tony gapped and said. "Probbie I'm wounded is that all I am to you. What about my rugged good looks, my charming smile and being a very special Agent not to mention…"

Tim smirked and interrupted him. "Tony I'm not interested in your looks, I see you as a brother and that's it. Besides I've got Harry and don't want anyone else. You already know I think you're a good Agent that always has my back and you are a good big brother."

Harry laughed and whispered loudly to Tim. "Just wait until Draco starts thinking of you as a little brother. You will get lecture after lecture on your health from your eating habits to whatever else he thinks your unhealthy about until you want to scream or hit him with a stunner and run. I hope you're not a smoker Draco's head might explode."

Tony started laughing as Tim blushed.

Draco sat up from leaning on Tony and said eyes narrowed. "You're a smoker?"

Tim sheepishly nodded and then held his hand up when Draco went to explode. "Wait. I only smoke when I am really stressed out. Ducky, Gibbs and Jimmy have been on my case as has Tony to quit for good. If they haven't got me to quit with all of them ganging up on me you're not going to ether. I go for long periods of time without even thinking of smoking. It may be a crutch but it is one I rarely use and I'm not going to stop nothing you say will change that."

Draco narrowed his eyes and huffed but didn't say anything.

Harry giggled and hid his face in Tim chest.

Tim looked down at him and said. "What?"

Harry looked up and said. "You took the wind out of his argument. He was ready to go Healer on you and point out all the things wrong with smoking. But he knows if a person really doesn't want to quit they won't and you already told him you don't so he already lost the argument."

Tim chuckled and said. "I really don't smoke all that often."

Draco grumbled. "One is too many."

Tony covered Draco's mouth and said. "Draco let it go. Tim's right he doesn't smoke all that much. On most cases we work round the clock and most of the time every second counts so he doesn't have time to sneak away to smoke. So it's mainly afterwards and compared to Agents that go out and get hammered after a hard case. Tim grabbing a six pack and a pack of menthol's isn't too bad."

Draco growled but nodded glaring at a chuckling Tim and Harry.

All four sat up when they heard the fireplace chime. Draco and Harry looked at each other both on alert instantly.

Before Tony or Tim could blink they were transported behind the couch and Harry took point Draco behind him both had wands out and were serious. Tony nodded to Tim as each got in position wands at the ready but their guns drawn.

Harry nodded to Draco and he answered the floo.

"Draco open the dam floo and both of you put down the dam wands. If you accidently stun me again I will body bind you both and leave you that way." Said a Silky voice.

Harry and Draco both grinned at each other and said. "Sev."

An amused voice that had both Tony and Tim shocked said. "You let your boys call you Sev. I'd hang mine by their thumbs if they called me a nickname other than Boss."

"Yeah well it's better than what they wanted to call me." Said the silky voice.

Draco dropped the ward on the floo and out stepped Severus Snape and Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

Harry moved away from them and went and sat on the couch shaking. Tim sat next to him and pulled him in for a hug. He whispered in his ear. "What's wrong?"

Harry hid his face in Tim chest and said. "Sev will be mad but we have to tell him the truth."

Before Tim could answer the man he assumed was Sev sat on the other side of Harry and tapped Harry's shoulder. Harry shook harder and tried to climb into Tim's lap. Severus stopped him gently and said sternly. "Harold James Snape-Potter look at me."

Harry nervously looked at his father.

Severus raised his eyebrow at his youngest and said. "Gibbs has filled me in on what you four delinquents have been up to. And although I'm not happy with you and Timothy I think you two have been punished enough. Although McGee manhandle my son again and their won't be enough left of you to fill a tea cup."

Tim yelped. "Yes sir."

Gibbs chuckled and went and sat down he looked at his boys and was amused that they were both looking at him in shock. He said. "What aren't I allowed to have dinner with a visiting cousin?"

All four younger men yelped. "Cousin?"
