WARNING: THIS IS AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE, THAT BEING SAID MY TOM RIDDLE JR IS NOT THE OLD MAN THAT THE BOOKS HAVE HIM AS; I HAVE HIM ACTUALLY YOUNGER THAN SEVERUS BUT NOT BY MUCH: LUCIUS IS APPROXIMATLY 37, SEVERUS 35, JAMES 35, AND TOM 33. TOM SR. I HAVE PLACED HIM AS A WIZARD INSTEAD OF MUGGLE AND HE IS THE ONE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN LORD VOLDAMORT NOT TOM JR.
Harry grinned as he watched his brother dress for his bonding, he had to admit that his brother was handsome; he just hoped that Blaise would come to realize what a treasure he was being gifted with, that was one thing out of many that worried him. They all worried about the youngest Malfoy, and he knew that under the bluff and bluster Draco was not the dominate type. He needed someone to just take the controls away and take care of things and Draco was convinced that Blaise could and would be the one to handle that end of it all. He was still worried though, he didn’t like the thought of anyone harming his brother and he knew that if Blaise did harm Draco in any way that there would be hell to pay, and he would be the one to dish it out. “We have about an hour before the ceremony, I’ll go see if our Fathers are ready; I’ll be right back,” he grinned wanting to steal a moment with his bonded too. Seeing Draco nod, he headed out the door and down the hall to another set of rooms, the Master bedrooms. Knocking he waited to hear the faint ‘enter’ before he slipped in to tell their parents that Draco was almost ready and that everything was right on schedule, for the moment. He knew logically that something would go wrong, it always did it seemed. On his bonding day they had lost the rings, he knew that he had given his Father James the rings to hold a few days prior, but his Father had misplaced them. It had taken them over an hour to locate the rings and only by pensive diving did they realize that James had put them in the vault not the safe in the bedroom. “Everything is on schedule for the moment Father and Draco is almost ready.” He reported softly watching as his parents finished tying back their hair.
Lucius nodded absentmindedly, “thank you Harry,” he said softly, “is he still jittery?” he asked knowing that Draco had been unable to sit still the previous night and that he had talked their ear off about the ‘what if’s’, he knew that his youngest was nervous and probably a little scared. Turning to Harry he could see the worry in his eyes, and he wondered what had happened to put that there.
“He is actually quite right now, I think Father Severus slipped him a calming draft this morning,” Harry smirked knowing that it was a good possibility, but he also knew that their Father wouldn’t have done it if it wasn’t needed. Turning as their third parent entered the room he smiled at James, “I think this last year of Hogwarts is going to be fun with everything that is planned, but I wish you would tell me why my bonded can’t be there too.”
“He’s not a teacher love, you know the school rules and that he would have to take a teaching position for him to be living on the grounds don’t worry you’ll see him every weekend and you still get the private rooms.” James grinned he knew that his son was going to have a hard time being away from his bond-mate. “Besides don’t they say absents makes the heart grow fonder?” he teased.
Harry scoffed at him, “not for me, I’m going to check on my bond-mate then Draco.” He said before turning to head out of the room, but he stopped when his Father Lucius called him. Turning back, he tried to keep the worry out of his eyes, there were something he had never told them about Blaise, and he was praying that they were making the right choice.
“I can see in your eyes that something has you worried. Do you want to talk about it?” Lucius hinted hoping to coax it out of Harry and not just demand to know what was going through his mind.
Harry smirked, “You know me Father; I worry for Draco and just want him taken care of.” He temporized hoping to get out of the situation with that lame excuse. He knew that it might not work though and that they might press him for more information. “If Blaise does, for whatever reason, fuck this up…I get to hurt him, right?” he asked with a smirk, clearly thinking about everything he could do to the young man.
Lucius though stood, “Harry, we never thought to ask you about how you felt about all of this. I know you helped Draco with the contract, and I am grateful for that but is there a reason that you don’t want Draco to be bonded to Blaise?” he asked suddenly very aware of the fact that Harry knew a lot about the on goings of the school and that he might have a reason to be weary of the Blaise.
Harry took a deep breath and cursed his ill-fated luck and his ill-fated attempt at getting out of the situation he put himself in, “I just know that some days he can be…a headache, I have hopes that he has grown out of the stupid phase we have all gone through, but I worry.” He shrugged, “besides brother is very much fixated on him and has been for years and I won’t hurt him by objecting to this. I just want him to know that if something happens, he can always come home,” he admitted softly.
James put a hand on Harry’s shoulder, “he does know that, and he knows he can always run to you. I am very proud of you for protecting him like you have and I am pleased that you have taken care of him.” James knew that the boys were close and that there was no separating them no matter what anybody said. He also knew that if someone tried to drive them apart Harry would more than likely make certain that person was taken care of.
“Thank you Father and I know…it’s time to let go and hope he makes the right choices.” Harry grinned looking at the time, “we better hustle up or Draco will string us up by the nearest tree.” He grinned moving out quickly before they could ask him anymore questions.
“I get the feeling Harry is hiding something.” Severus commented softly, “and that makes me worried for today and what we are about to allow,” he admitted softly.
“I know, but as Harry said they have all had the idiot phase, let’s just hope that whatever Blaise has done in that time is out of his system.” Lucius stood taking a deep breath as he glanced out the window, “besides we let out oldest marry The Dark Lords son…how bad can this be?” he smirked trying to lighten the mood, they all knew that Tom was nothing like is so called Father.
Pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
Harry moved through the halls and down to his rooms where his bond-mate was getting ready. Stepping into the room he knew that he needed to talk to someone about his worry, but he didn’t want to come across as an upset kid. Taking a breath he grinned at his husband, “you look breathtaking,” he commented as he moved to stand in front of him grinning like a fool.
Tom laughed as he stood and pulled Harry close to him, “So do you, my mate.” He leaned down and kissed him, “is everyone ready for this?” he asked knowing that it was getting close to time. Seeing the faint nod and how his eyes went unreadable he tilted his head up, “want to talk?” he asked knowing that Harry was struggling with letting his little brother go.
“I’m worried, but I don’t know how to voice what I know without sounding like a child who is mad at someone.” He admitted, “that’s what is really pissing me off. Not being able to voice this…” he wanted to run his hand through his hair but restrained himself when he remembered he had his hair braided back with the customary jewels. The last thing he needed was to undo what took over an hour to do.
“Talk to me, maybe I can help.” He insisted, as he pulled away slightly to let Harry get the room to breathe and think. “I will not think of you as a child who isn’t getting his way.” He looked down at his bond-mate with a soft smile hoping to put him at ease.
Harry paused trying to find the right words, trying to put his thoughts together; finally, he sighed and decided to just say it. “I don’t like Blaise, I don’t like his attitude, I don’t like how randy he is. He brags openly about breaking virgins and how that’s his hobby, he has a nasty temper at times and he has put a few students in the hospital wing. One boy was beaten so bad that there was not a patch of white skin!” He admitted softly.
“Why wasn’t anything done?” Tom asked suddenly very worried about allowing Draco to marry, what sounded like, an abuse young man. Looking his mate over he could see the conflicting emotions in his eyes and see that he was worried and, dare he admit it, scared. Why hadn’t anyone sat him down and talked to him before today? He felt that it was part his fault as well; he had been so busy with the Ministry after the wedding that he had been neglecting his mate in a way, and that was going to end right at this moment.
“No one could prove it, I only found out because his ‘friend’ confessed it to me,” Harry snarled, “and Blaise had an alibi for the time that it happened, his friends covered for him.” he shook his head, “there is nothing for it, I have no hard proof, I know that with this bonding if he commits adultery, it will dissolve everything. I know that; I have that little relief, but I also know how it will kill my brother.” He sighed, “on the other hand it will also hurt Draco if I stand in the way, he is so smitten with him that he has tunnel vision right now,” he said softly.
“What about physical abuse?” Tom asked knowing that if Harry had seen the abuse or heard about Blaise abusing people, he would have included something in the contract. If he didn’t think about including anything in the contract, then he would see about getting the contract amended.
Harry grumbled under his breath a moment, “I tried to outwardly put in there that if he laid one hand on Draco it was done, Draco wouldn’t have it. So, we compromised. Draco has to voice that he is being abused to me or our Fathers and present evidence. It was the only way to placate him.” Harry knew that he might have been overreacting, but it was bugging the hell out of him.
“I see what you are saying, I am proud that you helped him get the contract worded like you did” Tom said knowing that Harry had some things in there that Lucius, Severus and James didn’t know about because Harry had hidden them so well.
“Yes,” Harry admitted softly, “it’s my way of protecting him and any child he might have.” He said softly, “I may be young, but I am not stupid and family comes first.” Looking to the clock he groaned, “we best get this done and over with,” he leaned up for a kiss but before he went out the door again and back to Draco Tom stopped him. “Yes?” he turned at the calling of his name looking intrigued as to why Tom had stopped him.
Tom moved to his bond-mate and took his hand in his, “I want to promise you something Harry, I promise you that if Blaise Zabini does anything to harm your brother Draco Malfoy, he will be given to you to do as you personally see fit.” Tom said solemnly knowing Harry would feel better having that promise made to him, “and you know I can make it happen.”
“I know you can,” Harry grinned pulling him down for one last kiss before he headed out the door and back to his brother. Calling for the house elves to get the guest situated and seated and to make damn certain that they had the rings as he knocked on Draco’s door again, “Come Dray, it’s time.” He called as he opened the door. Watching as Draco moved to him, he plastered a grin on his face, “come on our Fathers are waiting.” He took that deep breath as they headed out the door and down the five flights to the gardens. He knew that whatever happened after today he would be there for Draco come hell or high water.
Ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
“Well, it’s finally done and over with, Harry and Draco are now both bonded and heading into their last year of school, they don’t need us anymore.” James sighed as he shed his robes and stepped into the hot bath that awaited him and his mates.
“They still need us; every child needs their parents; they will just need us in different ways now.” Lucius grinned as he joined James in the bath; pulling James to him they waited for Severus to join them, “I can’t wait for a grandchild from either one,” he admitted softly.
“I hope that one of them has a girl!” Severus grinned as he joined them in the bath, “did you notice Harry this evening?’ he asked as he sank into the water. Seeing the looks in their eyes he knew that they saw what he had seen, “I wish he would tell us why he doesn’t care for Blaise, all three have been hanging out since they were little; we encouraged their friendship.”
“I don’t know; I know that Harry might tell us in time, but it does worry me. We all know how protective Harry is of Draco; he has been since Draco had nearly died as a toddler, so you would think that if it was serious, he’d tell us so we can stop whatever it is that might happen.” James shook his head trying to figure out what was going on in his son’s mind.
“It could also be the fact that Harry knows that there are something you can’t protect your brother against. Draco has been smitten with Blaise for years now and Harry knows this, he doesn’t want to hurt Draco by bringing up things that Draco might see as trivial.”
“Then Draco would be mad and upset at Harry and would turn from Harry and Harry doesn’t want that. “James concluded looking troubled, “so Harry stays silent.” He sighed shaking his head. “Why not come to us?”
Lucius thought on that question a moment before taking a sip of wine, “because Harry would worry that we would treat or see him as a child who isn’t getting his way. He might not know how to voice his concerns, so again, he stays silent.” The more he thought about the situation the more dread he felt building up inside of him. “I now have a knot in my stomach,” he confessed looking troubled and worried; did they do the right thing?
“All we can do now is watch him and be there for him if things take a bad turn. Draco has Harry, me and James at the school and he knows he can run to us if needed.” Severus said softly, “it’s not much of a consolation but it is something, and don’t forget Draco is smart, he knows some nasty hexes, we have to trust in ourselves and that we raised him right and that he will know what needs to be done, if something happens.”
They didn’t like it, but they nodded and relaxed back into the bath enjoying some peace and quiet for the moment. All they could do was hope that everything would be alright.
Ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
Draco woke slowly, sighing softly he turned and felt the pain in his back and legs, closing his eyes he took several deep breaths to ease the pain as he sat up and looked around. Blaise was not in site at the moment, and he wondered where he had gone but he was grateful that he was out of the rooms for the moment. He was embarrassed, he knew that first time would hurt, but he never anticipated that level of pain, he had not anticipated the bruises and the bite marks. Standing slowly, he glanced at the mirror that was in the room and flinched at the marks that covered him. Was this what he had to look forward too every time they lay together? Looking around the suite that had been rented he slowly made his way to the bathroom to clean up and see if there were any healing potions. Running a shower, he could help but think about his Fathers and he thought that this couldn’t be normal; his Fathers never had marks on them. Then there was Harry; he never had a mark on him that he saw, and he talked openly about his sexual times with him. Was this what Harry had been trying to tell him? He knew that his brother never liked Blaise and would always just go silent when Blaise was around. Harry had tried to tell him something one time, but he had gotten upset with his brother and told Harry that he was being stupid. Now he wondered if he should have listened. Looking through the bags they brought and through the vanity he sighed when he didn’t find anything to heal his battered body, he would have to make do, one thing he knew for certain was that he was not going to let anyone see him cry. Hearing the door to the suite open as he stepped into the shower, he froze hoping that his husband was not going to be angry that he left the bed. Shaking his head, he stepped into the shower as the door opened and Blaise entered the bathroom.
“There you are…” Blaise’s smile was anything but friendly as he stripped off his clothes to join Draco under the water. Watching as Draco flinched away from him, he grabbed his arm and held him tightly, “you do not run from me!” he snarled suddenly very angry as he pulled Draco to him.
“I’m sorry!” Draco gasped out trying not to pull against him and trying not to fall, “I didn’t mean to,” he whispered hoping that Blaise would let go. Seeing this side of Blaise scared him, he didn’t think that he would have ever laid his hands on him and now he just wanted him to let go.
Blaise did let go of his arm and snarled, “You belong to me now! Get used it this! What I say goes and if you back talk me or argue with me I will beat you until you can’t stand up!” he growled.
Draco looked away suddenly very fearful of the man that was now his husband, gone was the soft voice and kind words from the previous day. Gone was the man that held him as they danced for hours. Where was the Blaise, he thought he knew? Where was the man that he fell in love with?
Blaise seemed to realize that he needed to smooth things over; the last thing he wanted was for Draco’s family to get wind of anything. Sighing he smiled softly and reached to turn Draco back to him, “I’m sorry love, I shouldn’t have spoken like that, it’s just my job to protect you now and that’s what I want to do” he said before kissing him gently, “let’s get showered and then we will take a nice walk.” He suggested.
Draco nodded, but he was now as confused as he was afraid, Blaise had turned around so fast on him that he didn’t know what to believe. Maybe it was just the stress of the wedding, maybe things would work out. Smiling up at Blaise he reached for his soap and flannel hoping that things were not as bad as they seemed. Every relationship had troubles; no one was perfect, right?
Blaise watched Draco a moment and he knew he had overstepped himself too soon; he would have to back off for a little while and get Draco to believe that everything was alright before he exerted his hand again. Grinning he knew that Draco was not used to rough nighttime games, but he also knew that he could condition him to need it as much as he loved dishing it out. Thinking about heading back to school he knew that he was going to have trouble on his hands, his lover was not going to be happy about this, but he hoped to persuade him that he didn’t love or really want Draco, he was only doing this to get his hands on the Malfoy money. He never wanted Draco, but he would make do until the time came that he could get rid of the problem, one thing he had to admit he finally broke the virgin that he had been after. “Come, love, I think lunch out and exploring Spain will do you good.” He finished the shower and held the towel out for Draco to wrap up in not commenting on the bruises or marks on Draco.
Draco nodded as he dried off and headed for find clothing for the day, “will we make it back for Harry’s birthday?” he asked softly, “I never heard how long we were staying.” Moving to the closet he found a pair of slacks and soft button-down shirt. Finding his silk undershirt, he was pleased that he had something that would not aggravate his back.
Blaise smirked, “I know that you and your brother are close, and that he has protected you a lot through your life but that’s my job now.” Blaise said ignoring the question for the moment; he wanted to start driving the wedge between Draco and his family now so they wouldn’t see the trouble until it was too late. Seeing the look in Draco’s eyes he shook his head, “we will be back for the party, we will have all of August to get school supplies. Your Father Lucius has also said that next summer he will be giving us the south side Manor as is custom.”
Draco nodded not liking that Blaise was basically telling him that he couldn’t let Harry protect him anymore, “Harry will be moving out of the Manor next summer. Father doesn’t want him to, says the Manor is big enough for all of us, but I understand that Harry wants his own place.” Draco said clearly thinking about how things were going to be when Harry did move out. “The Potter Manor is just as beautiful as Malfoy Manor, that’s where we had Harry’s bonding.” He fell silent a moment as he found an outfit that would be suitable for a trip into town.
“You deserve Malfoy Manor; you are the Malfoy heir after all.” Blaise said pointedly as he dressed for the day, “Harry is the Potter heir it’s for the best that he moves into the Potter Manor.” Blaise knew that the separation would drive the ultimate wedge between the two and that was what he wanted more than anything. Watching Draco nod he finished dressing for the day and waited for Draco to do the same, “we woke up to late for breakfast so let’s go get an early lunch,” he suggested after Draco finished braiding his hair.
“I would like that,” Draco nodded letting Blaise lead him out of their suite, “Could we explore the Wizarding side of Spain as well? Father said that there is a wonderful museum that details their history here.” He was trying to keep things on a light note but it was hard when he wasn’t certain what would and wouldn’t trigger the anger and aggression.
“I don’t see why not,” Blaise grinned as he took his arm, he knew that this was going to be hard, but he also knew that things would go his way, he knew that Draco was not going to stand up to him and wouldn’t do anything to risk losing his families approval. At the moment he would just have to take things slowly and then let it build back up.
