A/N: I would like to say thank you to all my readers for your patience; it has taken some time to get back into writing after the holidays. Also I have had various broadband/internet issues and fanfic website problems.
Also thank you to all that have reviewed this story and those who reviewed the last chapter: - Gryffindor Rat, AchillesTheGeek, Angel-Miyu, iggle731, Belong to the Shadows, Kigen Dawn, darkskylove, baby dino, Jessica McCulley and the Guest reviewer.
I would love to answer each individual reviewer but time prevents me from doing so, it is difficult managing my writing, my baby son, family life, and work etc etc etc, but I really, really appreciate every single review.
Next chapter enjoy.
P.S I will change the rating of this fic. No sex scene describe. I was going to, but decided against it. Not feeling it. So last chapter, and no sex scene.
Chapter Seven
After they shared that incredible kiss Draco excused himself and said he would leave Harry to think everything over. Harry had led awake most the night, he decided there was noting to think over. Draco kissed him, he wanted Draco to kiss him and he liked it.
Yes things may get complicated and they will have a few people against them, but Harry never took the easy road.
Harry fell asleep in the early hours of the morning, so he slept in late. By the time he got up the boys and Draco were awake. They were watching all the films that Harry had recorded of the kids growing up.
Harry watched the TV silently over the back of the sofa, they hadn't heard him come in. The film was of James, Al and Scorpius over the Christmas holidays, Al and Scorpius were about five. The film was currently showing them making tree decorations and Harry trying to help, so they resembled the thing the kids were trying to make.
Harry had glitter on his face and the kitchen table was covered in craft bits, paper, glue, felt, googly eyes. Anything and everything, including paints, crayons and felt tip pens.
"Dad James' reindeer looks ugly." Al called.
James glared, "Does not. What is yours meant to be? Looks like dads hair in the morning." James retorted.
All three boys laughed and Harry complained half heartily before admitting that yes his hair is a state in the mornings.
Al grinned, "It is my Christmas card for our teacher. That is a Robin in a nest."
James snickered, "No wonder it looked like dads hair,"
All three boys burst out laughing again.
Harry pouted and crossed his arms, "I guess you boys won't want choc-chip pancakes then."
"What, we do." They all protested.
Harry chuckled at the memory and the two grown up boys and Draco turned to look at him.
"Dad stop creeping up on people it's weird." Al whined.
Scorpius smirked, "Some things never change, your hair is still a mess in the mornings."
Harry absently patted down his hair, "It still amazes me that you can go to sleep and wake with not one hair out of place." Harry told Scorpius.
Scorpius grinned, "Pure talent. But no it does get messy, you see there is this amazing thing that I think we need to introduce you to, it's called a comb."
Harry shoved Scorpius' shoulder lightly, "Cheeky. Sorry I slept in. Is there coffee?" Harry directed the last bit to Draco.
Draco was smiling at the ease of which Harry interacted with Scorpius, "Hmm yes coffee machine was turned on especially. Al said you would be unbearable without your morning coffee."
Al nodded, "No truer word has ever been said."
Harry shook his head and shuffled towards the kitchen, moments later Draco came in.
"Morning Harry." Draco fondly said.
Harry playfully huffed, "Oh so all three of you wind me up, laugh at me and now you want to be nice."
Draco arched an eyebrow, "You look adorable when you are sulking. All pouty." Draco softly said as he walked towards Harry, his eyes flicking between Harry's eyes and lips.
Harry stuck his lip out further, heightening his pout and lips. Draco reached Harry and placed both his hands on Harry, one on each of Harry's hips. Keeping Harry at arms length, Draco looked into Harry's sulky face and smiled widely.
"You know you look very kissable when you pout like that." Draco commented.
Harry grunted and turned his head a fraction to the side. Draco laughed and placed lots of kisses along his jaw. Draco could see Harry was trying not to smile.
"Yes very kissable." Draco murmured and used his fingers to turn Harry's face back towards him, kissing him fully on the mouth.
Harry uncrossed his arms and pulled Draco closer to him, deepening the kiss. Pulling away after a long sensual kiss, Draco felt giddy and he couldn't believe he even used that word to describe how he felt.
"I guess it is safe to assume that you thought about 'us' and you don't object." Draco questioned.
Harry smiled, "Won't hear me voicing any objections. Although I did think it might be weird seeing as you're the first man I have kissed, but you know it doesn't. It just feels right. I'm not sure if that's because you are a man, or because it's you. But it just seems natural, like my lips were made for kissing you. You know?" Harry rambled.
Draco smirked, "Either you're still sleep deprived, or my kissing has turned your brain to mush."
Harry looked thoughtful, "Must be the lack of sleep." He deadpanned.
"Sure." Draco agreed, before leaning in for a toe curling kiss.
Neither noticed Scorpius silently turn around in the doorway and leave.
Scorpius rushed into the living room and in his haste to get to Al, practically sat half in his lap.
"Whoa watch it boney ass." He joked.
Scorpius scowled, and shifted so he was sat on the sofa next to Al. "My ass is not boney. Better than a wobbly lard ass." He moaned.
Al snickered, "Are you saying I have a lard ass?"
Scorpius looked shocked, "No. I was just saying I'd rather have a skinny ass than a fat ass. Anyway stop distracting me I have epic news."
Al was intrigued, Scorpius looked ready to explode, worse than he was at Christmas.
"Go on. I'm all ears." He said.
Scorpius took a deep breath, "I went to go get a drink, and when I reached the kitchen our dads were flirting. I hung back, I didn't want to interrupt. Then they..."
He paused, looked at Al and dramatically said, "They kissed."
Al sat forwards, eyes wide and mouth hanging open, "No way."
"Way." Scorpius replied.
Al shoved Scorpius gently, grinning at him, "Idiot."
Scorpius grinned back, "What, you like it when I make you laugh. Just admit it."
Al did, he was always laughing and joking with Scorpius, "Yeah I do." He admitted without any embarrassment.
Al put his finger to his lips to indicate Scorpius to be quiet, and he stood and silently started creeping towards the kitchen. Scorpius followed behind, they peaked around the door and Scorpius whispered, "Told you."
The boys went upstairs out of the way, "I didn't even now dad was gay." Al said.
Scorpius shrugged, "Yeah but apart from Ginny he hasn't really dated anyone properly. As for my dad I have no clue if he likes men. Well obviously they do because, well..." he blushed.
Al laughed, "Aw Scor you're blushing. You never blush, you look so sweet." Al teased.
"Get lost." He grumbled.
Al laughed again, "Are you blushing because we caught them kissing?" Al was curious.
Scorpius shrugged one shoulder, "I guess. It's not because they are two men, just parents kissing in general, is you know – weird."
Scorpius face changed and he wore an evil grin, "What?" Al asked, not sure he really wanted to know.
"Nothing. I was just thinking of how Ginny will react when she finds out." he laughed.
Al groaned, "Argh mum will be a nightmare. She said that Draco wanted to spilt the family up and have dad to himself, all those years ago when Draco left you here. I suspect she will go around saying it was his plan all along, to steal dad from her. Even though I doubt that very much, it is just coincidence that they have grown attracted to one another."
Scorpius was about to respond when a knock came at the door and their dads entered.
"There you are. You snuck away without us noticing." Harry said.
Al grinned, "Dad I could have sprouted wings and you still wouldn't have noticed."
Scorpius chuckled, "It's true. You were too busy snogging father." He drawled.
Harry flushed red and turned stunned towards Draco. He opened his mouth to speak, but no sound came out. He looked like a fish gasping out of water.
Draco arched an eyebrow, "What do you expect Potter. To get away with kissing in the kitchen, it is very unlikely." He chastised.
Harry shook his head, muttered, "Blimey."
Al smiled, "It's alright dad we don't mind. I think you make a nice couple and this way Scorpius can continue to live with both his dads. Besides you looked happy so I guess that's all that matters."
Scorpius stared dramatically at Al, his face a picture of awe, "Wow we just witnessed a modern day miracle. Al was grown up and serious for more than thirty seconds."
That eased the tension, Harry and Draco laughing at Scorpius' comment, and Al putting on an act of mock offence.
Later that day Draco took Scorpius and the Potter's to Malfoy Manor, he wanted Scorpius to see his ancestral home.
Verney was inconsolable, and cried when she saw that not only was Draco better and speaking, but Scorpius was alive and well. Verney was ordered to calm down and breathe – she was close to hysteria.
"This place is huge." Scorpius said in appreciation.
Draco gave them a tour, and stopped by the ancestors annexe, that housed all memorabilia, portraits and various items from previous Malfoy family members.
Harry and Al stayed in the gardens as they went in the annexe, as Draco was showing Scorpius his mother and grandparents portraits. When they emerged both had red eyes from crying, but both were also smiling.
They ate dinner at the manor, Draco collected a few items and then they returned to Harry's house.
The boys disappeared to Scorpius' room, to no doubt discuss the events of the day, Scorpius had a lot to deal with today, and he was most likely to talk things out with Al. He always did.
Draco was in his room unpacking the few items he collected from the manor. Harry was sat on his bed watching him, offering no assistance. Just admiring Draco from afar.
Draco was re-sizing various items of clothing, conversing with Harry with ease as he carried this out.
"I think I have most my memories back know. But then if I don't remember I won't know they are missing." He commented.
Harry frowned, "Yeah that's a bummer. But I guess you feel like yourself again, you don't feel like something is missing."
Draco smiled, "I feel better than before the incident. Before I lost my memories I was on the run from a maniac intent on killing me and my son. I lost my wife and parents, although that is sad I dealt with their loss whilst I was in hiding. But I couldn't bare the thought of losing Scorpius, and well I have Scorpius, and gained a bonus boyfriend out of it."
Draco froze, a pale blue shirt fell onto the bed, "Oh um I mean if you want to be my boyfriend. I didn't mean to assume and well I don't know what else to call you, and..."
Harry had stood and strolled over during Draco's panic stricken speech.
"Boyfriend sounds wonderful, makes me feel young again. But maybe we can refer to one another as 'partner', bit more mature and allows people to see we are together." Harry suggested.
Draco visibly relaxed, "Good. Partner sounds good." he agreed with relief.
Harry laughed at him and pulled him into a hug.
Epilogue of sorts
The weeks rolled on quickly. Draco continued with his healer appointments, but was soon declared fully capable of speech and healthy. His memories had returned and they no longer needed to see him, unless he required therapy. Draco refused the therapy, saying laughter was what made him better and well with Harry and the boys, he was always smiling and laughing.
Harry had invited his friends over and informed them of his relationship with Draco. To his astonishment they were happy for him.
Ron saying, "I'm pleased. I was starting to worry, you sent the last ten years practically being a nun."
Hermione laughed, "Harry would be a vicar not a nun. But your point was still made."
"We all deserve happiness mate. You say you're happy, therefore I'm happy." He even shook Draco's hand and said Scorpius was a wonderful boy, but most likely due to Harry's influence and nothing to do with his genes.
Draco laughed and actually agreed.
The rest of the Weasleys were happy too, as they all knew the how much trouble Ginny was, and they knew that Harry had a right to be happy. Even if that was with a man, and that man was Malfoy. Besides they all adored Scorpius and thought it was great that Draco wouldn't be taking him away from Harry or them.
Draco even thanked them for the part they played in raising and protecting Scorpius. He said he was honoured that Scorpius had such wonderful grandparents and family. Molly cried at that, so pleased that she could still be a part of Scorpius' life.
The only problem would be Ginny, but she was currently away training for her Quidditch team and wasn't due back until August. She was retuning in time to spent a few weeks with Al before he went to Hogwarts in September. Everyone agreed to keep it from her until she returned.
They told James, and he said he was okay, but felt weird as he hadn't actually met Draco yet. He was due home over the Christmas holidays.
Draco moved into Harry's room with him and they soon learnt all about each others habits, dislikes, likes, turn ons and off's, and sleeping patterns. Harry discovered Draco liked morning sex, a lot. Whereas Harry preferred sex before bed, but they still enjoyed sex no matter what the time was.
They hadn't been having sex that long, but so far so good Harry thought. It was a learning curve, being with a man. But Harry discovered he rather liked giving the control over to Draco, and actually be penetrated. They switched often, both topping and bottoming. Harry liked their arrangement, it seemed equal.
James returned for the holidays and he seemed to accept Draco. He confessed to Harry that he felt like he was an outsider. As he was away when Draco was found and he spent the time recovering. He thought that Al, Harry and Scorpius bonded with Draco in those weeks and he didn't as he wasn't there.
Harry reassured him that Draco wouldn't care if James wasn't there in the beginning. James seemed wary, but he wasn't against Harry and Draco's relationship, just worried about fitting in the new family dynamic.
Ginny found out before August, as she read about Harry's relationship through the newspapers. Harry and Draco had been photographed numerous times, kissing, holding hands and being a couple. Harry and Draco hadn't really tried to conceal their relationship anyway, just didn't publicly announce it either.
Ginny was furious. She demanded custody, even went to court. But the case was thrown out as they asked the boys where they wanted to live, James and Al said with Harry and that was that. Ginny didn't have a home and travelled for her job, she couldn't offer the boys stability and a decent home.
The summer holidays were spent as a whole family, and Draco fitted in with the Weasley clan easily. Harry was pleased to see James finally bond with Draco over the summer holidays, and was confident that James no longer felt left out.
Now here they were on the train platform, seeing James, Al and Scorpius off for the start of the school year. Al and Scorpius were nervous as James had told them lots of horror stories, but Harry assured them they were grossly exaggerated and some were just false.
Draco hugged the three boys goodbye, and hugged Scorpius twice. It was strange to think less than a year ago he didn't know his son. Now they were closer than ever and he was saying goodbye. His son was about to have an epic adventure and a wonderful time at Hogwarts. Draco was sad to see him go, but knew James and Al would watch over him.
Draco and Harry were accustomed to the stares from the other parents and children. It was refreshing to Harry to be stared at for his choice in partner, instead of his scar or who he was. Draco thought he was crazy, but Harry couldn't give a shit what others thought. He was happy and he was in love.
Harry turned to Draco, held his hand and said, "I love you."
Draco turned to face him and replied, "I love you too. You saved me and my son, and I will be eternally grateful."
They kissed briefly, ignoring the people glaring at them. So were disgusted expressions, and others were just curious. They left through the barrier hand in hand, with matching smiles on their faces.
- The End –
A/N - Sorry I know that was kinda lame, like really lame. However I didn't want the story to drag on, there was no other loose ends that needed tidying up, other than their first time, and well I chose not to write that. Sorry to disappoint.
