Chapter 10
Now that the Bonding contract though back dated was signed, it was now time to deal with the blood adoption.
Draco had poured through the Manor libraries to find the least painful and most effective manner of blood adoption that would erase all of Scorpius' sire from him. Whether the man was dead or not, it was his choice to inform him of the child. Since he was no witch they could not be forced to bond, a proof of inequality between the sexes perhaps, it also helped that he was the Head of an Ancient House and had attained his majority so he could accept any offer to his hand he wish or offer for anyone he wished.
That Harry Potter of all people would look at him with desire, give him time and affection to see if they could love one another was a boon. A gift he could not refuse, the memory of their time on the pitch haunted his every waking and sleeping moment. He could remember the feel of Harry's hands on his skin, his mouth on his cock and the feel of their bodies moving together in search of pleasure. What haunted him the most was the feel of Harry's mouth sucking on his nipple and the overwhelming pleasure that had accompanied the sensation. It didn't feel like that when the boys fed, it was sensual and erotic.
The experiences were nothing like he'd had as Rabastan's sex slave…
He put the thought out of his head and checked his appearance again before sweeping out of his set of rooms.

XoooooX
They had assembled; Andromeda, Harry and Draco.
Narcissa had graciously abstained her invitation.
They had at Draco's insistence met beneath the manor in an old ritual chamber that had been prepared on his orders.
A ritual altar lay in the centre of the chamber.
"I call on the five elements hear my prayer." Andromeda began, "Air, water, earth, fire and spirit bless this place and our ritual." She cast circle laying a symbol of each on the small altars, pedestals really that lay at each point of the circle.
To the north the symbol she placed was a handful of pure salt she removed from a silver canister.
To the east she poured incense on a bed of smouldering charcoal. The incense chosen was a crystal purification incense because they were cleansing Scorpius of the taint of his sire as well as Draco but that wasn't something that her nephew had realized yet.
She turned to the south, lighting a red candle. The colour meant love, strength, courage and health among other things.
To the west she placed a silver chalice that she filled with pure spring water fetched during a full moon.
In the centre she placed a small silver cauldron that had never been used as a symbol.
The symbols laid and the circle cast Andromeda turned to the little family before her.
"Do you have the potion?"
Draco pulled it from his pocket, "I do."
Andromeda poured it into the Malfoy's ritual chalice, "Take this dagger and give of your blood so that the child can be one to you as you would wish."
Harry took the dagger and sliced open his palm, squeezing the needed blood into the potion.
Draco kissed the wound before handing Scorpius over to his bondmate, he bandaged the wound before using the dagger on his own hand. He squeezed the blood into the chalice to mingle with the potion and Harry's blood. He reluctantly nicked Scorpius' finger which set the boy to wailing squeezing a drop into the potion before bandaging the cuts.
Holding their bandaged hands together, Harry and Draco began the chant.
"Son of my body." Draco said kissing Scorpius' silky hair.
"Son of my heart." Harry said cradling him.
"Be one with us." They said together, "Our lives for yours, our blood we mix."
"I carried you beneath my heart, nurtured you in my body and you are mine. All rights I share to the one who shares his blood with you. Our son you are evermore." Draco said kissing the bandage on his son's finger.
"The son of my heart, now to be son of my blood. A firstborn you are to me. I give my blood freely to make you my own. Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy is your name now and forever." Harry said bringing both their hands to his lips.
The now blessed and complete potion Andromeda tipped into a bottle that had been consecrated by being in the sun for three days and the moon for three nights the potion.
Then they fed it to Scorpius who frowned at the taste but a light compulsion charm bid him drink.
The mixture with their freely shed blood would replace through magic the tainted blood in Scorpius' veins making him in truth a Malfoy-Potter though he would bear the name of Malfoy.
Scorpius began to glow.
He whimpered with discomfort but the ritual prevailed.
He did sweat blood but that was expected, the potion would be absorbed into his body and the magic in their blood which had mixed would replicate and replace that which was there before.
In fifteen minutes it was completed.
Andromeda closed the circle thanking the elements for their blessing before vanishing each symbols.
They then trouped to change before the Wiccaning.

XoooooX
They had invited Harry's business associate and a brother of the heart George to stand up for Scorpius as a godparent.
Neville and Luna were already Teddy's official godparents despite Harry being his legal guardian.
Tonight was a demure bonding with only friends and close family present.
Harry had invited the more trusted of the Weasleys, as well as a handful of former members of the now defunct Dumbledore's Army.
Andromeda who had been legally brought back into the Black family under Sirius' will was the eldest female of the Black line and with Narcissa no longer legally a part of Malfoy line, it was under her leadership both ceremonies would take place.
Eventually, come spring when the period of mourning for Lucius, the former Head of the House of Malfoy was over they would have a public ceremony.
Those present were trusted to keep the news of their bonding and son to themselves.
"I welcome you family and honoured guests to the bonding of my nephew and my cousin, whom I look on as a son of my heart. You are also here to bear witness to the Wiccaning of their firstborn." Andromeda said bringing them to attention.
Wiccanings were usually by cultural standards anyway held within a week of the birth but if the prospective godparents are not available can be held later. At the time of Scorpius' birth Harry had no knowledge of Draco's terrible ordeal and they had not yet entered the sort of relationship they had now. The time limit for a Wiccaning was an infant's second birthday but since Scorpius was just under four months it was quite all right.
Andromeda began with her honorary nephew at her side, "As those blessed with magic, we do not have a physical structure as the churches of our Muggle Kindred with whom we share this land. We create a Circle, which through our magic and blessing becomes our sacred Temple to the Elements. The Earth is the floor, the stars are the roofs, and all of Nature becomes our witnesses. We also have when possible all guests either seated or standing in a circle around the sacred area, creating a sense of theatre. Guests are usually asked to bring bells with them. Guardians of the Four Quarters Air, Fire, Water and Earth join us here to celebrate the Bonding of two and the confirmation of their firstborn's birth!"
"Guardians of the East, Powers of Air; you who are thought and the wind upon my face. Winged eagle of the skies who is the morning breeze and the wrath of storms, I call upon and invite your presence to witness this rite." Neville said with a grin holding an eagle's feather.
Luna spoke holding a flaming ruby in her hands, "Guardians of the South, Powers of Fire, you who are passion and the hearth. Great Snake that lives within the coals of the home fires as well as wild fires; I call upon and invite your presence to witness this rite."
Fleur, a fellow former Triwizard champion said in her airy but authoritative way, "Guardians of the West, Powers of Water, you who are emotions and pure love. Gentle Dolphin of the waves who is the morning dew, and the torrential rains, I call upon and invite your presence to witness this rite." In her hands she held an abalone shell as she faced the West.
Seamus spoke, "Guardians of the North, Powers of Earth, you who are the stabilizer and nurturer. Powerful Buffalo who paws the ground and stands solid as the mountains, I call upon and invite your presence to witness this rite." He held a crystal toward the north.
Andromeda began as she moved to the altar; "We have come together here in celebration of the joining together of Draconis Lucius Malfoy and Henry James Potter-Black. There are many things to say about the nature of Bonding. Much wisdom concerning the joining together of two souls, two lives has come our way through history and tradition. With each union, more knowledge is gained and more wisdom gathered. Though we are unable to give all this knowledge to these two, who stand before us, we can hope to leave with them the knowledge of love and its strengths and the anticipation of the wisdom that comes with time. The law of life is love unto all beings. Without love, life is nothing, without love, death has no redemption."
She paused looking each guest full in the face before continuing, Love is anterior to Life, posterior to Death, initial of Creation and the exponent of Earth. If we learn no more in life, let it be this; a Bonding to be entered into only after considerable thought and reflection. As with any aspect of life, it has its cycles, its ups and its downs, its trials and its triumphs. With full understanding of this, Henry and Draconis have come here today to be joined as one in marriage. Others would ask, at this time, who gives Draconis in marriage, but, since he is not a woman, nor is he property to be bought and sold, given and taken, I ask simply if he comes of his own will and if he has his family's blessing. Draconis, is it true that you come of your own free will and accord?"
Draco blushed, "It is."
"With whom do you come and whose blessings accompany you?"
It was with extreme reluctance but the dictates of society that had Narcissa holding her grandson while she answered. "He comes with me, his bearer, and is accompanied by his family's blessing."
Andromeda turned to Harry, "Henry is it true that you too come of your own free will and accord?"
Harry smirked, "Of course I do."
"With whom do you come and whose blessings accompany you?"
Luna, Neville, George, Seamus and some of the other welcome Weasleys; Bill, Fleur, Charlie, his father and their grandparents joined them. Luna held Teddy cradled in her arms.
They spoke with one voice, "We his friends come and give our blessing in hopes that he continues in his happiness."
Andromeda nodded, "Please join hands with your betrothed and listen to that which I am about to say. Above you are the stars, below you are the stones, as time doth pass, remember...Like a stone should your love be firm like a star should your love be constant. Let the powers of the mind and of the intellect guide you in your marriage, let the strength of your wills bind you together, let the power of love and desire make you happy, and the strength of your dedication make you inseparable. Be close, but not too close. Possess one another, yet be understanding."
Andromeda paused. "Have patience with one another, for storms will come, but they will pass quickly. Be free in giving affection and warmth. Have no fear and let not the ways of the unenlightened give you unease, for Magic is with you always. Henry, I have not the right to bind thee to Draconis, only you have this right. If it be your wish, say so at this time."
Harry squeezed Draco' hand gently, "It is my dearest wish."
Andromeda turned to her nephew, "Draconis, if it be your wish for Henry to be bound to you, say so now."
Draco swallowed, "I have no objections."
Andromeda smirked, "Draconis I have not the right to bind thee to Henry only you have this right. Repeat after me: I, Henry James Potter-Black, in the name of the spirit of the magic that resides within us all, by the life that courses within my blood, and the affection that resides within my heart, take thee, Draconis Lucius Malfoy to my hand, my heart, and my spirit to be my Bondmate. To desire and be desired by thee, to possess thee, and be possessed by thee, without sin or shame, for naught can exist in the purity of my affection for thee. I promise to care for thee wholly and completely without restraint, in sickness and in health, in plenty and in poverty, in life and beyond, where we shall meet, remember, and reunite again. I shall not seek to change thee in any way. I shall respect thee, thy beliefs, thy people, and thy ways as I respect myself."
Harry said those words with every bit of sincerity in his bones.
Draco spoke the same words, without a shred of doubt, "I Draconis Lucius Malfoy, in the name of the spirit of the magic that resides within us all, by the life that courses within my blood, and the affection that resides within my heart, take thee, Henry James Potter-Black to my hand, my heart, and my spirit to be my Bondmate. To desire and be desired by thee, to possess thee, and be possessed by thee, without sin or shame, for naught can exist in the purity of my affection for thee. I promise to care for thee wholly and completely without restraint, in sickness and in health, in plenty and in poverty, in life and beyond, where we shall meet, remember, and reunite again. I shall not seek to change thee in any way. I shall respect thee, thy beliefs, thy people, and thy ways as I respect myself."
Andromeda handed a chalice to Harry, saying, "May you drink your fill from the Chalice of Loyalty"
Harry held the chalice to Draco while he sipped and then Draco took chalice and held it to Harry's lips while he sipped. The chalice was then handed back to the Lady presiding who set it on the table.
"By the power vested in me by the Ancient House of Black for the Houses of Malfoy, Prince and Black and with the acknowledgement of the Bank of Gringotts I now present for the first time: Lord Draconis Lucius Malfoy-Potter of the House of Malfoy and Lord Henry James Potter-Black of the House of Potter and Black Bondmates. Let us bless the couple…"
"As it is written…so let it be…" the chorus was taken up with raised wands that showered the couple with gold and sliver sparks.
Harry grinned pulling a startled Draco into his arms standing on his toes to kiss him.
Draco flushed and kissed him back though he wasn't really one for public scenes of affection but due to this being their official private bonding he had little choice but to allow the kiss.
Harry waited until he was sure that Draco's lips would be swollen before breaking their kiss and leaving them both rather breathless as well as hard but their bonding robes were loose. Their only giveaway was that their gait was stiff…
Andromeda clapped her hands for attention, "We are met in this Circle to ask the blessings of those who came before on the son of Lord Draconis Lucius Malfoy, his bearer who born of the House of Black and for the House of Malfoy; while his sire Henry James Potter-Black was born for the House of Potter. May he grow in honour, strength, joy and wisdom." she looked at Harry and Draco with pride and evident fondness, "There are many destinies, and each must find their own. Therefore, we do not seek to bind this heir to any one destiny while he is still too young to choose. Instead, we ask the magic that makes us one people and those who have come before to bless, protect and prepare him through the years of his childhood. Then, when he is at last fully grown, shall know, without a doubt, which Path is his, and shall tread it gladly. Draco, please bring the Malfoy heir forward that he may be blessed."
Draco stood before his aunt with his son wiggling in his arms.
Andromeda spoke, "You, his bearer chose a name for him. I ask his sire; Harry, what is that name?
Harry smiled, "Scorpius Hyperion, Heir of the House Malfoy; the firstborn of Lord Potter-Black and Lord Malfoy."
Andromeda nodded, "Then to us all and his ancestors, he shall be known as Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy." she dipped her finger in a jar of lavender oil, she anointed Scorpius' forehead with oil, smiling, "In ancient days, the good fairies all blessed the babes with a special gift or blessing, Harry and Draco ask now that you a few of you bestow him with a personal blessing. I bless thee, Scorpius with oil, and welcome thee as family one to another."
Harry dipped his finger into a chalice of wine, before repeating his 'Aunt-in-law's' action; "I bless thee, Scorpius with wine, and welcome thee to the family."
Draco smiled, as he dipped his finger into a chalice of water, before repeating Andromeda, "I bless thee, my son with water, and welcome thee."
George gently rest the palm of his hand on the son of his business partner, "I dedicate you to a life of peace and love." A strange sentiment for one who had been a prankster and hellion in school but he meant it never the less.
Luna resting her hand on Scorpius' 'third eye', "It is my wish that you may see your way clearly."
Seamus touched Scorpius' heart, "It is my wish that your heart always be open."
Fleur touched Scorpius' throat, "It is my wish that you may speak the truth."
Neville grinned, as he touched the boy's chest, "It is my wish that your Will and Strength be strong." A strong sentiment from the slayer of Nagini, Voldemort's last Horcrux…
Bill tickled their bellies, "It is my wish that you be joyful and loving."
A blessing that pleased Harry to no end…
Andromeda nodded, holding her hands out, "Are there any here who would stand as Godparents to Scorpius?"
George and Seamus stepped forward again, "We would."
Andromeda continued, "Do you Seamus Patrick Finnigan, heir to the House O'Shanesey and Master George Weasley promise to be a friend to Scorpius through out his childhood; to aid and guide as needed; and in concord with his guardians, to watch over him and love him as if he were of your own blood; until, he is ready to choose his own Path?
"I, Lord Seamus Patrick O'Shanesey , do so promise."
"I, George Maris Weasley, do so promise."
Holding hands and creating a circle over Scorpius who lay on the altar, George and Seamus began to chant in Latin.
As they chanted magic soared above them, Scorpius was glowing was a clear red- the colour meant powerful, energetic, competitive, sexual and passionate. George's was pink of all colours which meant loving, tender, sensitive, sensual, artistic, affection, purity, compassion; new or revived romantic relationship. It could also indicate clairvoyance. Seamus was yellow which was seen as awakening, inspiration, intelligence and action shared; as well as creative, playful, optimistic and easy-going…
The yellow and pink twisted and flowed into one another, at the final chant it dove straight for Scorpius. He glowed, the magic radiating so brightly at it distorted their vision for a while. Once they could see clearly, the magic that George and Seamus had gifted flowed around him before sinking into Scorpius' skin. It would create a shield of sorts that would protect him from most types of magical harm. This part of a Wiccaning was mostly known by purebloods, it was a closely guarded 'secret' that allowed them to protect their heirs and heiresses from harm so that they might grow up to inherit.
Harry remembered that Luna had been purple, Neville yellow and Teddy green…
Andromeda continued, "We, his friends and family have welcomed him; Therefore, oh Circle of Stars, shine in peace on Scorpius. So mote it be!"
The attending throng chorused, "So mote it be!"
Harry grinned, "There is a Bonding and Wiccaning celebratory lunch in the adjoining dinning hall for those who wish to attend."
Their guests shook their hands and in Harry's case he was hugged and made much of for joining the ranks of the bonded.
Scorpius was cooed over and complimented many times over while both Harry and Draco as well as their chosen godparents were praised.
Soon Scorpius turned moody nuzzling his bearer's chest, pawing at it.
Teddy too began to whimper.
Harry scooped his adopted heir into his arms taking him from Luna, "I think we'll feed the boys and put them down before joining you. Andromeda if you and Narcissa will escort our guests we would be grateful."
The two daughter of the House of Black nodded and gestured for the guests to follow them.
Harry and Draco escaped to a nearby parlour where Draco opened his robe and shirt to bear his chest so the boys could feed once he'd seated himself comfortably on a settee.
Harry joined him, once Scorpius latched onto Draco's left nipple he placed Teddy near his right. Then he leaned closer cupping Draco's face and kissed him tenderly.
Draco moaned slightly, the feel of lips on his own his arms full of their heirs he was powerless to resist.
Harry found the sight of Draco feeding the boys to be erotic. He kissed him harder, his hands moving to caress the soft skin of his neck and his silken hair.
Draco longed to pull Harry closer but he was still holding the boys. He should have felt guilty for engaging in such sensual behaviour while he had the boys feeding.
"You're so hot like this…your robes open, your shirt undone, your tie loose and the boys suckling." Harry kissed Draco's shoulder, "I wish I were kissing those nipples of yours. You enjoyed it last time and I've dreamt of your hands on my body this time. I belong to you now and I'm looking forward to you having me."
Draco flushed a deeper shade of red, "Harry…the boys…"
"Are too young to understand but they will be raised by a couple who desire one another. You might not love me yet and it may have been a bonding of convenience but you do desire me. I've felt it…enticed it and I want to keep you if you'll let me." Harry said before sucking on Draco's collar bone.
"If I'll let you?" Draco gasped.
"This is legally a temporary arrangement unless you decide to keep me to yourself." Harry's words spoke in a whisper teased the silk smooth milk white skin he'd seen bare just once on the Quidditch pitch a few days prior.
Draco longed to touch him…
Teddy fed voraciously, his gums and lips holding on to his nipple for dear life while Scorpius fed lazily. His chubby fingers latched onto Teddy's black dress robe gripping it almost possessively.
While it felt like Teddy drank more they both let go nearly in unison.
Harry reluctantly withdrew taking Teddy back and with a conjured flannel on his shoulder he burped the Black heir.
Draco with shaky hands copied his motions.
Two Malfoy elves appeared at once and relieved them of the boys.
Grateful for their assistance Draco in a rush of brash wantonness, pulled the slimmer former Gryffindor into his arms.
Harry was almost smug as he let Draco tug him forward.
Their lips met in a kiss that left them both seeing fireworks.
Harry's hands found Draco's nipples and he rolled them in his fingers drinking in his bondmate's gasps. "Let me…please…"
"Yes…" Draco gasped out an assent.
Harry bent his head to lick a nipple and took it into his mouth suckling the sweet milk that nourished their sons.
Draco gasped, holding Harry's head to his chest as the jolt of pleasure went straight to his groin. He could feel the sensation of pre-cum dripping down his prick. "Oh Devious Morgana…"
Harry licked the nipple again before taking the other in his mouth, he liked to taste it. It obviously turned Draco on more then anything else he'd ever done and he enjoyed that.
"We have to return to our guests." Draco moaned.
"They can wait they know that we'll be a while. It's just a taste…to sate us until you take me to bed…"
Draco groaned; Harry was a force to be reckoned with.
"Tell me what you want bonded…how shall I please you? I don't expect you to suck me as I do you…"
Draco felt emboldened at the word 'bonded', he cast locking and silencing charms on the parlour door, "Strip. I don't wish for your clothes to be stained."
Harry swallowed nodding as he stood on shaky legs. He undid his dress robes and draped them over a nearby chair, then he loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt before placing them over his robes. Next he undid his trousers and slid them off with his briefs, groaning as his body felt freed. He toed off his shoes and stood before his bonded naked save his socks.
Draco pulled him down into his arms, pushing him back on the settee casting an impervious charm on his robes before capturing Harry's lips and stroking him. While he then ran a thumb over Harry's hard nipple that was smaller then his own since he had no milk yet…
Harry moaned, his arms wrapping around Draco's neck, "Yes…" there was something about his former rival that called the passion that had been buried inside him out and lit him on fire.
Draco knew some of the places that excited his bonded…he shivered, Harry Potter was his. No one could dispute that, with the declaration of wanting to earn his love he had little chance of anyone else enticing his bonded from him.
Sure Harry had a lot to learn about pureblood society but he could teach him about how to go about. For now they were going to stay behind Manor walls, get to know one another and to become stronger as a couple before they entered that world. The Wizarding World wouldn't expect it; it would shock even his former intimates that escaped Azkaban to their toes that he could ever tie his blood and magic to their Hero, the man who defeated Voldemort.
Draco shivered not in pleasure but forced the thought from his mind as he turned to a more pleasant contemplation. How best to quickly bring Harry to bliss enough to return to their guests.
Harry felt kisses trail down his throat, a tongue deviously lap at his nipples as the languid hand's caresses sped up. "Draco…"
Draco inwardly smirked; his bonded was at his mercy. Only in the pursuit of pleasure to be sure, on a broom or in a duel he had no doubt that Harry could best him.
Harry squirmed gasping, "So close."
Draco kissed his neck, quickening his strokes, "Good. You can come you know…"
Harry arched himself, pressing his naked body to Draco's partially clothed one and groaned out his climax.
Draco kissed his swollen lips, internally smug. "You look delectable…" he wished he felt comfortable taking Harry's prick in his mouth. If only the act hadn't been spoilt from bad experiences…
Harry with difficulty flipped them so Draco lay beneath him.
Draco balked immediately and moved to throw Harry off.
Sensing Draco's uncertainty Harry kissed him, "Hush…you know I won't hurt you. You gave me pleasure. As your bondmate it's my duty to see to yours…" he ran his hands in gentle caresses of Draco's chest before bending to suck at each nipple knowing Draco liked that before opening his robes just enough to free his cock from his trousers. With relish he fell to sucking it and in short time brought Draco to an orgasm.
Draco lay there gasping, having not expected to come so quickly. A part of him firmly believed Harry belonged beneath him and refused to consider that he might want to give himself to Harry some day. That day wasn't today…
Harry stood conjuring a glass of water that he used to splash his face before dressing again.
Draco fumbled to fix his clothes casting anti-wrinkle charms before he held out his hand to his bondmate.
Harry was perfectly satisfied to allow Draco with his past to seem to be the dominant partner while he was more interested in eventually becoming equals he was perfectly willing take what he was given.
Draco escorted his sated bondmate who had luminous Slytherin green eyes that sparkled with promises.
They were greeted with smirked from the bonded couples as well as Seamus who threw Draco a saucy wink while he clearly had a besotted George under his arm.
Narcissa sniffed, "You were gone quite a while."
Harry gave her an all too innocent looking smile, "The boys wouldn't settle."
Draco pressed his hand and pulled out his chair and was rewarded with a smile that sent a fresh rush of desire to his loins. Controlling himself around his bondmate would be difficult to be sure.
Harry asked after Fleur's pregnancy.
"I am fine. William woorries too much. My bébé and I are quite well." Fleur twittered, I am 'appy to see you so attached 'Arry. Gabrielle will be disappointed, you are dear Gabi's 'ero."
Andromeda clapped her hands and a house elf appeared at her elbow with a basket.
"Annie!" Narcissa hissed, "Is this quite the time?"
Andromeda sniffed, "I don't see why not. These are respectable persons, as a family member it was my choice. I had to eschew much of the formality of the bonding given the circumstances." Implying the revelation of Scorpius' birth, "this is my gift." She said firmly, "The Basket of Thirteen Blessings. I could have forced you sit though a ritual handfasting or had the Arch of Seven Blessings prepared."
"What is a Handfasting?" Harry leaned to whisper.
"It's a ceremony where a couple is magically tied to one another with ritual cords that bind them together." Draco hissed back.
Andromeda floated the basket to Draco, "You are welcome to remove each item and I shall explain the symbolism if you wish."
Draco accepted the basket; it was lined with white silk decorated with silver and gold ivy. While its handle was wrapped with green and silver satin ribbons, it had a bunch of roses and water lilies tied to the outside of the handle.
"I used preserving charms so they wouldn't fade. The flower of June is a rose and I felt that an orange rose best symbolized Draco. July had two choices Larkspur and Water Lily; I chose the later based on both the meaning and the name of Harry's mother."
"What is the meaning of an orange rose?" Draco frowned.
"Fascination." Andromeda said with a straight face.
"And the Water Lily?" Harry asked.
"Purity of Heart." Narcissa frowned.
Andromeda nodded, "There is a list in elegant script of the items and their meanings."
George piped up, "What did Larkspur mean?"
"Lightness. It didn't seem suitable…" Andromeda shrugged.
Draco fished out two suns. "These?"
"Two suns symbolize the strength and sturdiness of the partners."
"A cat?" Harry asked pulling a tiny stuffed white cat.
"A cat is meant to guard the hearth and home. Though I was tempted to use a wolf." Andromeda shrugged.
Draco cradled a black dog in his hands. "This?"
For a second Harry thought it was the same sort of dog as 'Snuffles'.
"A dog to offer loyalty and protection, I almost choose a Irish wolfhound but I figured the wound was too fresh and chose a black lab instead." Andromeda said gently.
Harry nodded sharply.
"What iz ze owl for?" Fleur asked after Harry plucked it from the basket.
It wasn't a white owl either, this was ebony. It didn't remind him of Hedwig with her reproachful eyes.
"An owl for wisdom," Andromeda offered. "Draco had an eagle owl he lost in the war and you lost your own so I picked an owl that didn't resemble either."
Her nephews by blood and law, nodded gratefully.
Andromeda flicked her wand and each remaining item left the basket and floating before them. "A star for the dreams of the future and a watch to remind them that time is valuable. An acorn for strength and longevity, and a butterfly, for all the summers they will be together. A broom for the journey they're about to embark on and a house, so they have a place to return. There is a pinecone for prosperity and abundance, and a snitch for the sport that eventually brought them together. I thought the symbols suited them."
Draco and Harry flushed at the sight of the snitch both thinking of their passionate dalliance on the pitch a few days prior.
"Is there something you'd like ta tell us mate?" Seamus drawled.
George shivered.
Draco wondered if George had an accent fetish. He sniffed, "Not especially."
Harry nodded turning to his food after replacing each item in the gift basket. "Uh…thanks Aunt Annie."
Andromeda beamed, "It was a mental exercise. You might consider trying it sometime."
Harry winked at her and then at Seamus, "So Seamus, what do you know of Muggle traditions?"
"Like what?" the Irish man frowned.
"Garters and bouquets." Harry chuckled.
Andromeda frowned, "How do you know of these things? When Ted and I were married in his family's church after we graduated I was told that I needed something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and silver sixpence for my shoe. I was given his mom's wedding dress which I needed resizing charms to wear comfortably so that was my something old and borrowed. Uncle Alphard bought me Muggle silk gloves that matched the dress for my something new. My garter was blue and I had a silver sixpence and a sickle in my shoes."
Harry smirked, "The telly and Aunt Petunia once attended the wedding of an acquaintance's daughter."
"What is this about garters?" Narcissa frowned.
"I believe historically they were used to hold up stockings for Muggle ladies." Andromeda offered, "The groom, the husband is to reach up the bride's skirt and remove it. The higher it is the longer their marriage will last; one removed he tosses it. Whatever male catches it is the next fated to marry."
"A bouquet is what the bride carries into the church and at the end of the ceremony she tosses it at the ladies and they are the next to marry. It is often teased that the witnesses- or the Best man and the maid of honour will be the next to marry if they aren't already." Harry chuckled.
"Who will sign your Gringotts' contract?" Bill asked.
"Neville and George already agreed." Draco offered.
"Have they signed?" Septimus frowned.
"Not as of yet." Draco said pleasantly, "We thought we could ask them to join us in my study after the guests leave. That is if George will consent to stay a little longer…"
George blushed, "We could, unless Seamus had other plans…"
"Nowadays I think we come as a pair mo anam cara."
George shivered, "You shouldn't call me such things in company."
Seamus frowned, "Why ever not? I've been courting you; I've fancied you much of my Hogwarts years. You were my idol in many ways as well as the first bloke I fancied. I say nothing I should be ashamed of. You are mo anam cara. Some days quite soon I will have a knot on your finger."
"What doz zhat mean?" Fleur frowned.
Seamus smirked bring George's hand to his lips. "My soulmate."
George turned red.
Septimus chuckled, "I see no reason to fault him for such an endearment."
"I once thought to call my lover, preferably my bonded cariad. That's what gran said my mum called my dad." Neville swallowed.
"I remember Alice calling Frank that in school." Arthur nodded. "Her family hailed from Wales and she often spoke in dialect out of classes."
"Well in light os some traditions, Muggle and otherwise," Seamus smirked, taking George's hand in his, "With my cousin dead during the Battle having died bearing the Dark Mark, the title is eventually coming to me. However I intend to pass it to my son and not bother with it because I intend to help rebuild your shop. If you'll have me, I would like to be your partner in all things."
George blinked at him, "You can't be serious…"
"I told you before in the presence of two witnesses that I intended to be your bonded. I see no reason why I should not. We both desire one another and take pleasure in each other's…company." Seamus said pulling a box from his pocket, "I purchased these as soon as you told me you fancied me and had for a long time. I was hoping for a solstice bonding…"
Inside lying on black sueded Jarvey skin were too white gold rings that had two etched cords entwined. Set within each were stones, Draco recognized them as diamonds and blue topaz; the birthstones of April and November respectively.
"I want you to always think of me so I hoped you would agree to wear my stone on your finger while I wore yours."
George accepted the topaz ring and flushed when he saw the engraving inside the band, "Shay!"
"I could have gone with a claddaugh ring but I decided this would be better, less complicated." Seamus shrugged.
"Complicated?" George frowned.
"You can wear it three ways: one means single, another engaged and the third married. Once I have a ring for you, I want to keep you for myself. We wasted so much time already…" Seamus muttered.
"Fine." George blushed, embarrassed at the proposal.
"I guess that means that its Neville's turn next." Harry snickered.
Neville coughed, "I don't see any decent candidates and well I'm too busy with Auror training usually to consider it."
They finished their meal and said goodbye to their guests.
Seeing as how Harry and Draco were clearly eager to be alone, George and Neville offered to sign the Gringotts contract the next day.
So Draco turned to Andromeda, "See that a room is made up for George and Seamus. I think they'll want to celebrate too."
Harry and Draco were spending the night in the Lord's suite. After all it was where all of his ancestors were sired.
Draco kissed Harry and then slipped into the en suite bathroom to undress. He pulled out a series of potions from the cupboard. "Confidence and lust…" he had made sure they wouldn't have any negative effects if they mixed. He'd read all those books Harry book and remembered the scrawls in the margins.
He wanted to more confident and to stop running, he really did want their sealing of the bonding contract to be mutually pleasurable.
Harry was laying their naked with his legs spread and reclining on a mound of pillows. "I missed you. Come to bed." He couldn't imagine being with another person, Draco was so sexy. Even with the stretch marks from his pregnancy and his swollen nipples from nursing. Harry held out a hand, "I trust you."
The potions roaring through his body Draco tackled him to the bed, kissing him hard enough to rebruise though previously swollen lips. "You're mine Potter."
"As long as you want me." Harry gasped between kisses.
Draco conjured silk scarves and tied Harry's hands to the four-poster. "I'll settle for the contract for now…" he left lovebites all over Harry's chest, sucking on his nipples and then palmed his cock.
Harry arched into him, "Please…let me touch you…"
"No."
The sharpness of that no went straight to his cock and it wept more.
Draco slid down Harry's body, pinning his hips to the bed he lapped at the weeping erection.
Harry's eyes widened, "Draco? What are you doing?" how could Draco be doing this? He wasn't comfortable with the idea of it since he was abused and raped…
Draco sucked on the head and rolled Harry's balls in his fingers.
The duel pleasure was too much, "I'm going to…"
At the first splash of cum Draco pulled off and watched the white spray them both.
Draco conjured lube and caressed Harry's virgin rosebud with a dry finger.
"Yes…" his confusion melting, "Please…"
Draco spread his legs more licking the cum that dripped down Harry's cock, teasing his bollocks before giving Harry's entrance a swipe with his tongue.
Harry whimpered, "Oh fuck…"
"You like that?"
Something was wrong with Draco but tied up like this he couldn't do anything about it. His body didn't want his bonded to stop but he worried, would Draco regret this? That would hurt…already he was becoming more attached to the former Slytherin.
Draco didn't want Harry's first time to be as brutal as his own. He took the time to prepare him carefully, even taking the time to find his prostate and fingering him to another orgasm before slowly sinking into the shorter man.
Harry never made it to 5'5…while Draco himself was almost 6 feet tall…
Harry whimpered as he felt Draco thrust into him, he didn't ram inside him, his bonded inched into him. It seemed like ages before he felt Draco's bollocks and groin against his arse. He felt at home…complete…as if he'd been searching for something all this time without knowing it until he'd founded it.
Draco kissed him, stroking him with one hand as he slowly began to move. Each thrust found his prostate awakening his own erection. He'd barely dared to imagine what it might be like when they consumed their bonding contract but he hadn't imagined this…
Draco could tell Harry was going to orgasm soon and he had yet to come himself. Having almost never been allowed any sort of pleasure during his rapes, he was more concerned with Harry's pleasure then his own.
They moved together, Harry rocking up into Draco's thrusts until Draco's second orgasm and his fifth. He was completely worn out…he wondered if he was a fertile as Draco? Could he have a baby of his own?
Draco pulled out, banishing the scarves and pulling Harry onto his chest. "Sleep…"

XoooooX
Harry was sore, he could feel how sticky he was from his orgasms. His arse ached…while Draco hadn't been rough he'd gone deep and Harry had been a virgin. He wiggled out of Draco's arms, and then half-limped/half-crawled to the bathroom…
He winced as he collapsed on the toilet. Two potion vials rest in a waste basket.
Harry absently summoned them wandlessly.
They were labelled…
Lust potion…
Confidence draught...
Harry felt betrayed. Of course Draco wouldn't have taken his cock in his mouth if he'd been in his right mind. What did that say about their relationship if Draco had to drug himself with potions to have sex with him? He hurled the empty bottles at the door and they exploded. He let out a scream through clenched teeth.
A sound came from the bedroom and then the door was flung open.
"harry? Are you alright? Is something wrong? Are you hurt?" Draco gasped out, his wand out in an offensive stance.
Harry glared at him, "Am I alright? Is something wrong? Am I hurt? I'm not all right. I am hurt and something is very wrong. You think I didn't guess?"
Draco blinked, "Guess what?"
"That you were different last night? You wouldn't put your mouth on my cock if you were in your right mind. I may have been drowning in pleasure but I was sane enough to know that. You had to drug yourself to have sex with me? You didn't trust yourself? You couldn't have taken it slow? No you had to use potions to do it." Harry snapped.
Draco sighed banishing the glass, "I'm sorry. I wanted to be sure that I could do it. I wanted to do it. I wanted it to be good. I was afraid I'd stop or leave…I wanted to be sure that I wouldn't."
"I would have enjoyed it more if I didn't know you did that." Harry scowled.
Draco knelt on the cold marble floor and kissed him, forgetting about 'morning breath'.
Harry would have swooned if he were standing. He was naked and sitting on a toilet, being kissed by his bonded in apology. He was still mad but that was unravelling.
"I'm sorry…I should have tried…" Draco said holding him close, "don't leave me…"
Harry clung to him; even if Draco had been drugged it had still been an amazing night. "I'll stay as long as you want me…" that had been the deal, that he would remain Draco's bonded as long as he was wanted.
The words touched Draco's heart; his parents had practically abandoned him. His father was dead, and his mother was barely a part of his life anymore…
All he had was his aunt, his son, his cousin and now Harry, his bonded. This was his family…
How could he ever think of giving up any of it?
"You're in pain…" Draco observed with a wince, "I'm sorry." He rose and put a bath on. Adding potions to the water to help ease Harry's aches…
Harry was a lot smaller in stature and weight to Draco so it was little wonder when his former rival picked him up with ease and they slipped into the warm water together. Well it was just barely from broiling…
With gentle hands Draco washed the dried cum from his bonded's body, taking care not to put too much pressure on his entrance.
The warm water and the potions relaxed him; Harry enjoyed the feel of Draco's hands on his body. They'd only been intimate three times and he already was addicted to it…
"I should have been gentler. If I'd known I would hurt you I would have not taken the lust potion." Draco mused.
Harry snorted, "You shouldn't have taken any potions. Besides everyone knows a first time is going to hurt. We read the same books idiot."
Draco kissed his neck, "You're right…I just didn't want to."
"You were good to me and I wouldn't have let anyone else have me. You should know that." Harry bent his head and suckled on one of Draco's nipples.
Draco groaned, "Minx!"
Harry chuckled, "You taste so good…"
Damn…it made him hard when Harry did that. Was that even normal? "You're too sore…"
"Don't care. I want you inside me." Harry said licking the other nipple before sucking on it hard.
The potions had done their work and the pain had dulled.
Draco lifted Harry up a little.
Harry reached down and grasped Draco's cock pressing it to his entrance and lowered himself gasping. He wrapped himself around his bonded, letting out a sigh of contentment. "Yes…"
The embrace of Harry's body was even better then he remembered now that his mind was clear. Draco groaned, holding Harry close while he let his bonded choose his own pace.
They rocked together, moving almost as one. Their bodies so on fire that it was mere heartbeats until their passion soared and shattered in unison.
Harry collapsed on Draco, curled up in his lap. "I could get used to this…"
Draco felt a bit smug about that, he had precious little to feel truly smug about the last few years…
Draco was coming back to himself, Harry could feel it. He wasn't a real hero he was best at saving people one at a time really. Right now all he cared about was having his family and holding onto it. If Draco ever discarded him he was afraid he would shatter…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
A/N: Does anyone think they should attempt a real honeymoon? Any ideas? This not a poll. May not have bearing on the story, but I am asking for readers' ideas.
Shanda - I am glad you liked the sexiness on the Quidditch Pitch last chapter. You see the concept of Life debts can be selfish. Between two wizards in a sense one 'owns' the other until they repay the debt by saving the other's life. Something that Severus couldn't do for James before his death so he had to satisfy the debt when it passed to Harry. A life debt between a witch and wizard where the wizard saves her life he can demand her hand in marriage or her firstborn which may or may not be his. A life debt owed by a family can result in a bonding or a heavy payment of Galleons or property. Harry doesn't care about monetary wealth or property. Harry isn't the sort to truly be selfish, he has a bad habit of putting others first. He was responsible for the conception even if he didn't sire the child. In a sense he's demanded Ginny's firstborn, it satisfies the debt and keeps him from having to consider other options. Once the elves learn Ginny tried to force their master and trap him in marriage I doubt they'll be too kind. She will have one elf most likely, it won't be like she's a princess or anything. It will be a gilted cage. She won't even be allowed outside, she'll never be allowed to fly again. If he could keep her from a wand he will. harry doesn't dislike the entire Weasley family; just Ron, Ginny and Molly. Though Hermione is siding with her fiance which peeves Harry to no end. Ginny will most likely never see her child again and she'll be treated mostly like a prisoner who has to beg for trifles and family visits. She won't be given the best room, she'll mostly live in a guest room and the house elves will keep her out of any room Harry doesn't approve of. I hope this helps.
delia cerrano - I am glad you like it! All my stories are terrific? Wow. Technically if you ignore the legal contracts, it's more like he's kidnapping her and holding her prisoner. She'll never see her child, she can't leave the house and will be warded into a specific set of rooms she can't leave. She has to beg for trifles, she won't be allowed to own a broom and her family if they wish to visit will have to schedule visits with her warden. Septimus sold her yes but she's no mistress. She's a prisoner, she thinks she'll be given anything she wants but her rooms will be quite bare and anything she has or receives will have to checked over with Harry [maybe Draco or Andromeda] who can take it away or destroy it. She will be allowed few if any visits. Probably only Molly or Hermione will bother to Visit her. Maybe Bill but he's not fond of her at present and Ron ignores her if he can help it. Ginny won't be allowed any pets or an owl. Any letters will be given to him by the elves and he will choose whether or not to pass them on. Her rooms will be most likely the ones you put the visitors you dislike the most in. the drafty room, the one with the worst paintings and tapestries, the most uncomfortable bed ect. No fancy anything. She might as well be a nun in a cloister for all the finery and riches she'll have.
Yes at this point Severus is dead. He went beyond the Veil. He lived long enough to protect Lily's son, to satisfy the debt to James. You don't think he'll stay dead do you? As for Harry he's just embracing a part of himself, the saving people part without risking his life but rather his heart. Draco and Neville will have their own challenges and triumphs in this series. Narcissa is rather cold, even with her as a mother Draco is still the legal/political Head of the Prince family until a son comes of age. He'll have some input on how they are raised, he will help mould them. Playdates and shared tutors with his kids. I doubt he'll let them grow up as cold and narrow-minded as he did. With Harry around he'll make sure they have time to be kids.
