Severus woke with a start; looking around the crowded sitting room he saw that everyone was still asleep, except for Draco. In fact Draco was nowhere to be seen and he knew that something was wrong, standing he moved to the one place he knew where he could find his mate, outside on the porch swing, it was the one place that he always went to when he was confused or conflicted when he was a child. Stopping in the kitchen he made a cup of hot chocolate before continuing out to his mate. Seeing him on the swing looking confused and lost he moved to him hoping to offer the comfort and love that he needed. “Dray?” he called softly sitting down beside him. “It’s cold out here.” He softly admonished summoning a blanket to wrap up in. Handing him the cup he wrapped his arms around him. “Do you want to talk?” he asked hoping to ease out of him what was wrong.
Draco sighed not certain how to tell Severus what he was feeling, but he knew that he couldn’t lie, and he had always talked to Severus. “I feel like I don’t belong here, I’ve been gone so long, and it doesn’t feel right.” He whispered. “For almost ten years not one word then Toddy came in and he promised me these things, and I didn’t believe him, I only talked to him to get him to shut up. Now I’m here and confused. Why didn’t you try to see me? Why…?” he stopped realizing what he was accusing his mate of.
Severus knew that this was coming, and he knew that this was going to be the hardest part of the transition home. Tightening his hold on his mate he sighed. “Would you like me to tell you what happened on our end?” He asked and seeing his mate nod he continued. “When the war ended, it was a hard time, I had lost you to the Ministry, Harry was in a coma and found out to be pregnant, they tried to take Mathew and James from us and I was trying my best to keep everyone where they should be, and I failed. I went to the Ministry to fight for the kids, I told them flat out that you and Harry where bonded to me and therefore Harry and I had the right to the kids. After a few hours I got the kids and got them home, and then I went back, for you. They refused to tell me anything, they wouldn’t tell me when you were due for court, and they wouldn’t tell me who was in charge of your case, nothing. Your mum even tried, then the next thing we knew they told us you were in the ward, and that we could send letters, but were not allowed to visit, they said that if the Healers cleared you, you would be sent home. At first I was relieved, I knew you were not a danger, I knew that a Healer would see that you were forced into the situation and would send you home. So, I focused on Harry that month and wrote to you about the kids and the new baby, when he came out of the coma, I told him where you were, and explained what had been told to me. He was hysterical that day...” Severus paused seeing the Draco might have a question or two for him; it was confusing and an upsetting time for all of them.
Draco laid against Severus’ shoulder thinking about what he was being told. “Why didn’t they tell you?”
“My guess is that they didn’t want you with me, my guess is that someone was abusing his power and punishing you for things you shouldn’t have been punished for.” Severus answered softly. “I wish I knew the true answer, but I don’t, I am actually suing the Ministry right now for this.” Seeing Draco nod he continued his part of the story, “We were getting your letters and at first everything seemed alright, but then I noticed that you weren’t asking about the new baby in your letters and I feared that you were angry, or upset that Harry was pregnant, but I could never get an answer from you about it. Jade was a nightmare, he would lash out and scream at me that you should have been home and that I was a failure to you and Harry, when Harry was forward he would cry for you. Then Ministry, just a few days before Lillian was due they told us you were coming home. We got so excited, Harry was the happiest I had seen him in months, and then, they crushed our dreams, they told us you had hit a patient and was not coming home. I argued with them about it, I told them that it could be, you had never hit anyone, and they told us the decision stood. It was like that for the past ten years, they would tell us you were coming home then pull you away from us. Our only comfort was your letters, and then they stopped coming after three years. Harry was certain that you were hurt or dead, I kept going back to the council until they finally told me that you were alright, I was told to keep sending our letters. It has been hard not hearing from you and trying to keep Harry from losing his mind. I had to get him help and was recommended to Healer Toddy, when he found out what we were fighting, and what we were going through he agreed to talk to you. I don’t know what he told the council but he managed to get to you, where we couldn’t.”
Draco looked at Severus concerned. “Harry sees Toddy?” he asked and seeing Severus nod he knew why. Harry had been through rough times as a kid, his family had treated him like a slave, he had to be bonded to Severus at eleven to keep him safe, and he had a split persona because of it and then the hell they all went through while at school. He knew that Harry struggled emotionally to deal with what he had been through. “Is he doing better?”
Severus was pleased to hear the question; it showed him that Draco still cared. “Yes and no, he is learning to deal with what he is feeling but he still is struggling with Jade. Jade is very aggressive, especially lately.”
“I wonder if it will get better with me here, or worse.” Draco sighed thinking about their Harry. He knew though that he had to tell Severus what was going on with him and that his letters had never gotten to him. “I never got your letters, my writing and drawing things were taken too, I wasn’t able to write to you and Toddy just recently gave me the letters.” Draco confessed after a moment. “I knew that coming home would be hard, and for the longest time I didn’t want to come home. I thought you two didn’t want me anymore, and I would pray to die. Finally getting your letters told me that you did care, but it’s so hard, I feel…”
“Left out, confused and hurt,” Severus whispered holding him close, “It’s ok to feel like that, you have been away for a while, you don’t know Lillian, and Mathew and James have grown so much it’s hard to recognize them from the two year olds they were.”
“I hate to say this Sev, but I am jealous more than anything, I should’ve been here for Lillian’s birth, I should’ve been here for their birthdays and Christmas, it’s not fair! I should not feel like this!” he cried against Severus as he was held tightly.
“Dray, if you didn’t feel like this I would be worried, you have been through so much and you have had your son taken from you when he needed you the most and you were taken from us when you needed us the most. Our bond was young, and we were never able to full cement our bond because of this, therefor you can’t feel Harry and I like we can feel each other, but I swear that we will re-cement the bond. We love you Draco. Please believe that; please believe that we have fought for you every day.” Severus whispered holding him close as if to reassure himself that Draco was indeed there.
“I do believe you, it just hurts, I’m tired of hurting Severus and the new baby, I’m not even going to be allowed to be around. Hell, I can’t even be alone with Harry or my kids!” Draco let Severus hold him glad that he was being held and that Severus wasn’t pushing him away for feeling like he was.
“You will be around the baby, and I believe that when the courts see that you are not dangerous than they will allow us to give you more freedom. I had been admit that we not have any more kids until we had you home, but he became so depressed and he needed something to focus on and to give his attention too. Toddy suggested we go ahead and try for another, it makes him happy, it makes his incubus side happy too.” Severus explained softly.
“I know, incubus can get upset and aggressive when they think they are being kept from doing their ‘family duties’, it doesn’t upset me that another is on the way, or that you two have been intimate, I’d be a dam fool and cruel to expect that, I just wish that I was more a part of the family. My Veela is just being hell right now.” Draco whispered.
“It will take time to get back into things, especially with our creature sides. I don’t know if you know but Toddy told me that you will get to be here for Thanksgiving and we put the tree up that night and we can start being the family that I know we were meant to be.” Brushing back his hair he smiled. “You have a lot of presents to open this year.” He hinted and at the confused look in his eyes he continued. “Every year Harry, the kids and I buy you gifts, we were told not to send them, that you weren’t allowed things on the ward, or that you were coming home. After Christmas, we pack them up and put them with the tree, you have ten years’ worth of presents.” He grinned at him.
Draco felt the tears on his cheeks again “I don’t deserve them.” He shook his head but inside he felt giddy, his mate bought him gifts every year, they hadn’t forgotten about him. “I can’t get anything for you guys.”
“Yes you can love, I have catalogs and we can owl order things.” He promised. “But having you right here in our arms is the best gift.”
Draco snuggled close starting to Severus starting to feel a little better about the situation, and he prayed that things would work out. “Toddy told me that I should move on, but God it is so hard! How do I do it?”
“With us, love and one day at a time.” Severus answered holding him close as they rocked. They knew they needed to head back to bed but it was peaceful and they didn’t want to go back in, it felt right to have him in his arms again, this was how it was supposed to be.
Pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
Harry woke slowly, feeling breathing behind him he turned and smiled remembering that Draco was asleep behind him, he was finally home. Grinning he rose and slipped out to the kitchen to make breakfast. Pulling out the pans and food he needed he thought about the day’s events and about the things everyone had said. He had been accused of not caring about his Draco and that Draco had had a harder life than him, he knew that his mate’s life had been hard, he had been there through one year of pure hell and he could imagine just what his past hid. What upset him was when people accused him of wanting attention and using Draco’s plight to gain that attention. He would never do that, he never said that his life was worse than Drays; he never said that he deserved more attention than Draco. It wasn’t fair! He did care about his mate, he had fought for him and he was still fighting for him. Why couldn’t people see that? Putting the bacon in the pan he felt hands on his shoulders. “I’m fine.” He whispered.
“No, you are not.” Severus replied “What’s wrong?”
Harry shook his head. “It’s nothing, worry about Draco and the kids, the potion should be ready soon and I’ll have breakfast ready soon.” He promised but stopped feeling the tightness in his chest. “When will this pass?” he whispered, it seems that he was alright when he wasn’t doing anything, but the moment he started doing anything he became short of breath and his chest started hurting.
Severus knew that his mate was hiding his feeling from him, but didn’t want to press him. Rubbing his back he sighed. “I had hoped it would already pass, we may have to put you on a stronger potion.”
“But that could hurt the baby…” Harry looked at him worried not wanting to hurt the baby, “I can’t….” he paused shaking his head as Narcissa entered the kitchen.
“It smells good,” She smiled moving to help. “Let me take over dear.” She encouraged not wanting him to do too much.
“I wanna try.” Harry smiled hoping to ease her worry as Draco entered. “Coffee?” he asked seeing his sleepy eyed mate.
Draco smiled. “I would love some, but I can’t, Toddy says that until they fix the damage to my heart I should avoid caffeine.” He explained watching Harry he smiled, his mate was handsome with that belly, but he could tell he was struggling. “Are you still struggling to breath?” he asked worriedly as he moved to him.
“When I do things, it gets worse.” Harry smiled as Draco wrapped his arms around him. “I’ve missed this.” He snuggled back into his arms while he turned the bacon.
Draco nuzzled his neck. “I’ve missed this too.” He looked to Severus showing his worry and concern with that look. “Can we help?” he asked wanting to do something with his mate.
“I would like that.” Harry knew that he needed the help and that if he didn’t take it he would be in trouble. Thinking about his mate as he ran a hand over his belly he suddenly felt frightened. “Draco?” he turned in his arms. Biting his lip he wondered how to word his question without hurting his mate.
Draco though seemed to know the question that was on his mind, “I am not upset about the baby love, I am glad that you and Severus are having another and if I had expected you not to be with Severus then I would be a cruel man, and that I am not. I know you love me and I love you, as Severus said, it will take time, but we are together now and I will do whatever I can to stay.” He promised licking dry lips he leaned in and kissed his Harry.
Harry moaned into the kiss reluctant when they broke apart. “We keep that up…I’m going to burn the bacon.” He teased breathlessly.
Severus laughed loving the sight of his mate together and behaving like they used too. “I’ll be right back.” He promised moving to check the potion that he had brewing, the sooner he had a name the sooner he could have the bastard arrested.
Draco smiled at his mum as they assisted Harry in fixing breakfast and setting it up in the sitting room. Looking around at the sleeping kids, and Blaise he couldn’t help but chuckle as they began to stir at the smell of food. “Breakfast.” He called softly earning a groan from James.
Harry chuckled “He has never woken easily.” Sitting next to Mathew he stroked his cheek to wake him.
“Never did as a little either, Mat was always the one that woke easily and never fussed.” Draco smiled watching as Mathew opened his eyes and moaned in pain. “Today is the exception.”
“Easy love, we’ll give you a pain potion as soon as you eat.” Harry promised watching as Draco tried to wake James. “Throw a pillow.” He instructed
Draco couldn’t help but chuckle. “You throw a pillow at him?”
Harry nodded, “Him and Lillian, Sev started it, it was a lot better than the cold water.” He admitted with a slight grin.
“They learned to get up.” Severus smirked as he moved to Mathew, looking his back over he grimaced, “I think he will be alright on his side,” he turned him and gently propped him so he could eat. Turning to Draco he laughed, “Like this.” He grinned picking up a small pillow and tossing onto Lillian.
Lillian shot up looking around “Papa! It’s the weekend!” she complained flopping back down as Draco tossed the pillow on to James.
“Not fair! Father, you’re not supposed to tell him that!” he complained glaring a moment and looking so much like Severus that Draco had to laugh. “I have to learn how to wake you up.” He smirked as Blaise rose and woke Davie. “Is the potions ready?” he asked as he handed James a plate of bacon.
“Yes, we’ll do it after breakfast.” Severus nodded as they helped Mathew eat what little he could keep down.
Lillian watched Draco with a smile. “You like raspberries in your oatmeal too?”
Draco smiled. “Oh yes and fresh cream.” He handed her the bowl of raspberries.
Lillian took them with a bright smile. “I like them too, James likes brown sugar and cream.” She smiled softly. “Mat likes just cream.”
Draco smiled seeing the eagerness in her eyes. “You know when James was a little he used to like it with blueberries, and Mat used to like it with chocolate.”
Lillian’s eyes widened “Chocolate? I’ve never had chocolate oatmeal.” She looked a little upset at the idea that she had never tried what her brothers had.
Draco laughed “Looks like I’ll have to make us some next time we have oatmeal.” He promised as he moved to help Harry with Mathew. “Easy Mat bug,” he whispered as he helped him to hold his cup and drink the cool milk.
“Hurts,” Mathew whispered shaking his head when he was offered another bite. “Don’t want it.” He whispered turning away.
Draco took the bowel from Harry with a worried smile “Let me try” he nodded “You eat.” He encouraged Harry as he turned to Mat, placing a silencing charm around them, he was so happy to be able to do magic again, he sighed trying to think of how to help him as he ran a hand through Mat’s hair. “I know that it hurts, I know that it is more than a physical pain, I know that it feels like you just want to hide, to not eat and not care anymore, but we can’t love. We have to heal, we have to get better, and to heal and get better I need you to try and eat.” He encouraged softly.
Mathew looked at his Dad with eyes that spoke of hurt, humiliation, and questions. “Did your Father really do this to you?”? he asked softly.
“Yes,” Draco admitted not wanting to lie to his son, “He was a very bad man, just like this man was.” He sighed hurting that Mathew was learning such a hard lesson.
“Why did he do this? What did I do?” Mathew asked after a moment as a tear fell.
“You didn’t do anything love, I used to ask myself the same thing, and it took me a long time to realize that there was nothing I could have done to change what happened and that I had done nothing wrong. You have done nothing wrong too, you are not to blame for this and I am sorry that we couldn’t protect you. That man is sick, mentally sick, and from the sounds of it jealous for things that happened a long time ago.” Draco knew that he needed to know this and needed to know that he was not to blame!
“Was Grandfather sick too? Is that why he hurt you?” Mathew asked as he took a bite of oatmeal.
“Yes, he was very sick, people who hurt kids to make themselves happy are very ill and they need help.” Draco explained.
“It’s not your fault either Dad…’ Mathew whispered reaching out to touch Draco’s cheek. Seeing the confusion he continued. “You couldn’t protect me because you weren’t there, and there will be times when you can’t protect me.” He said wisely.
“That is true, but it still hurts me, and makes me angry that not just me, but the teachers too, couldn’t help you.” He admitted softly. “Lessons like this are never easy and I had hoped and prayed that you would never have the lesson about how cruel some people can be.”
“Not all people are bad though Dad, just a few, right?” Mathew asked taking another spoonful.
Draco smiled softly. “That is true, and hopefully, with your generation, there will be less people in the world that will be cruel.”
Severus glanced over to Draco pleased to see that he was talking to Mathew and that he found a way to be alone without being alone. “We’re going to get through this.” He smiled reassuringly at Harry.
“I think so; I just want us to be a family again.” Harry smiled softly sitting by the fire. Leaning on Severus he watched the kids talk about school and the things that they were up to and needing to do for class. “Severus, I don’t want to see Toddy anymore.” He whispered suddenly.
Severus looked at Harry shocked “Why?”
“I don’t like people saying that I am only seeing him to get attention, I can handle it now.” He sighed.
Severus shook his head. “Love, for me, please, let’s continue to talk to Toddy, ignore everyone, they don’t know what you have been through and talking to him has helped.”
Harry fell silent; he should have known he wouldn’t win. “I guess.” Looking to Mat he smiled “I’ll be damned, he got him to eat.”
“He needed his Dad some times that is what we need.” Severus agreed as they finished breakfast.
Pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
Severus laid out the parchment before brushing the potion onto it. “Ready Draco? Two drops.” He instructed as Draco pricked his finger and allowed the blood to fall. Watching the paper he watched as the names began to appear. “Damian Riddle.” He whispered. “Two years older.”
“This is crazy, what do we do now?” Draco asked wishing he could go to the school and make certain this man was caught. “I want to go!”
Severus looked a little worried at the request, “You know you can’t love, if they find out that you left the house we will lose you.” He whispered pulling him close to him. “I will get him I swear!” he whispered softly.
“I know, I know, and I have to leave it on you, just like I have for ten years.” Draco whispered looking up at him with pain filled eyes.
Severus looked down at him “It’s my job to hold you two together, just like I promised. It’s ok, would you like if I had the Headmistress come here?” he asked wanting to include him but not wanting to break the rules.
“Could we?”
“I’ll contact her.” Severus nodded kissing him tenderly before moving to make a Floo call. Looking down at the paper he shook his head, praying that they found this bastard and soon, he didn’t want to give him the chance to hurt another child. Picking up the paper he moved to the study shocked to see the Headmistress was already standing there. “Thank you for coming so quickly.” He nodded.
“My pleasure, how is Mathew?” she asked worried for her student.
“Bad, he has spoken about what happened and I am deeply concerned. Do you have a professor named Damian or Riddle?” he asked softly as Severus offered them tea.
Headmistress Longbottom looked at him thoughtful “No, but I have a new D.A professor, as you know it is hard to keep that post filled.” Pulling out a file she handed it to Draco. “That is him there, the name we have is Kyle Black, he said he was from the States. We pulled his records and everything.”
“It would explain where he was during school years, but if he was there the night Mat was born then he would have been raised here.” Draco looked at Severus confused.
“Not necessarily, schooling there and then bringing him home for his training. It would explain why we never gave him more than a glance.” Severus took the file and looked the man over, he was the image of a very young Tom Riddle. “My god that’s him!” he whispered. “I’d need blood to prove it though.”
“You mean this?” The Headmistress smiled holding up a vile “Standard blood test, he was due for his, Katie was so nice to give me some.” She grinned.
“You should have been a Snake.” Severus smirked.
“I have it on all the professors right now, I want to find this bastard, I will not let him or her harm another child!” She looked at Severus then to Draco realizing that something wasn’t right. “How do you know this man?”
“I think he is family” Draco whispered as Severus repeated the heritage potion using the DA professor’s blood. Watching as the tree formed he snarled “It’s him, he’s changed his name and went after…” he stopped realizing that for the first time in a long time his Veela was close to the surface and was clawing to get out. “What now?”
Before anyone could answer though the fire came alive and the deputy Headmaster stepped through. “Headmistress, we have a serious problem” Dean Thomas said softly nodding to Severus and Draco. Seeing the glare in the Headmistress’ eyes he continued. “Our DA professor is missing; he has managed to get out of the castle.”
“HOW!” She turned snarling as she turned to confront him.
“I don’t know.” He whispered “I went to his quarters and everything is gone, not one trace of him, nothing was left behind!” Dean sighed turning to Severus “I’m sorry.”
Severus pulled Draco to him and sighed, he should’ve known that it wasn’t going to be that easy. “We have his name, we know what he looks like, we file a report with the Ministry, and we keep our eyes open. Hopefully he will make the mistake or surfacing again. He is focused on Draco right now, so let’s hope he messes up.”
“I don’t like this; I don’t want the kids to go back.” Draco looked up at Severus hoping he would agree.
Severus ran a hand through Draco’s hair, “I know that it is hard, but he is no longer there and with Davie and James, I think he’ll be alright.”
“We have set up new alarms, and we are changing several things with the school, it will not happen again. I swear!” Mrs. Longbottom promised her anger melting away at the thought of Mathew.
“I pray not.” Draco whispered realizing that he had to let Mathew go back.
Pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
Harry sat beside Severus as Toddy moved into the room “Why am I here?” He asked not wanting to be present for Draco reliving his nightmare of a life, and truth be told he was coming to the memories that gave them all nightmares. He didn’t need to hear it, he had lived it.
“I was hoping to talk to you about how you are doing with Draco being home. Are there any problems?" Toddy asked concerned after talking to Severus about how things were going on.
“I’m fine, nothing to worry about.” Harry shook his head moving to stand as Draco entered the room looking worried.
“Harry? Please talk to us, even I can tell that something is upsetting you and if it’s me…” Draco swallowed hard looking worried himself.
Harry felt his heart freeze, “Draco, it’s not you, I swear! I love you and happy and excited that you are home.” He sat back down with a sigh. “It’s me, I feel like I am the one in the way, I feel like you need Severus more than I do, you need Toddy more than I do. I have been and am being accused of using your plight for my gain, I have been accused of not giving a damn and I do. I would never use you for my gain, I am not your Father and I am angry and upset that people are saying it and afraid that you and Severus feel the same.” He confessed in a bare whispered after a moment.
Draco moved to Harry knowing that he had to set things right “Harry love, I do not feel like that, you and Severus are everything to me and I am thankful that you still want me.”
“I never should’ve let you read those damned letters.” Severus sighed as he watched Harry. “And yes, Draco does need me and Toddy, but so do you and I vowed, when you were barely eleven years old, that I would always be there for you and I would never leave you. You need me too.”
“If anyone should feel like and intruder it’s me.” Draco teased trying to ease the tension and make his mate smile again. “
Harry felt the sting of tears on his cheeks remember that day, he wasn’t certain what to say or do, he felt lost and confused. “You are never an intruder…” he stopped trying to take a deep breath to calm himself.
Draco gently took him into his arms. “And neither are you, we are a set, love and with that comes the good and the bad. I am just sorry that the bad is people treating you like they are. You deserve better.”
“No, you do, you deserve more than I could ever give you.” Harry cuddled close wishing that he wasn’t so dammed emotional.
Draco smiled softly at his mate. “You, Severus and the kids are all I need love, so no more talk about you acting like my Father, you are not my Father. You are wonderful husband, a devoted and loving Dad and everything I could have prayed for in a mate. It is I that owes you so much, you and Severus were there for my boy when I couldn’t be, you raised him, you taught him right from wrong, you taught him to preserver no matter what was going on, and you taught him that I loved him. I am so thankful that you and Severus are here and have been here for me ever since I came to you.”
Severus smiled watching them, winking at Toddy he knew that Harry needed the reassurance that everything was alright. He had known that letting him read those letters was a bad idea and now he had wished he had just burned the dammed things, but he also knew that he would hear it when they were out and about, there was no protection against it, but he could be there to cushion the blows life dealt, and he vowed that he would for both of his mates.
