Chapter 19: Spoiled
Draco sighed, pulling the car into a large parking lot near a shopping complex, or a ‘mall’ as Remus called it.
“So, let me try and get this straight” Remus murmured, unclenching his hands from the door, his knuckles white from gripping the handle so tightly. In his opinion, Draco’s license should be revoked, immediately.
Draco scoffed, shaking his head at Remus’ antics, he was a fine driver, just because he had to charm the muggle driving test giver to pass....
“Get what straight?” He asked as the pair slipped from the car, heading towards a large electronics store.
“Why you dragged me away from my work to come shopping with you for a television in Muggle London of all places” Remus said with a small frown.
“Harry said he was bored, he’s stuck in bed all day, and I’m working, he can’t be expected to read all the time can he? He told me he was interested in this device, and I have no issues getting him one” Draco said, walking into the store, eyes going wide as he took in the rows and rows of different types of Muggle technology.
“So you’re buying Harry a television because he’s bored?” Remus deadpanned, ridiculous.
“My husband is pregnant Mr. Lupin, he is stuck in bed, and yes he is bored” Draco said, his tone stern.
“I am not about to deny him anything. And if he wants a telly, he’ll damn well get one” Draco snapped, Remus held his hands up in the universal gesture of peace.
“I was just clarifying Draco, Harry’s lucky to have you” Remus said, amused by how far Draco was willing to go to keep Harry content.
“Good Afternoon Sirs, how can I help you today?” A young man in a vibrant blue shirt asked as he approached a stunned Draco and an amused Remus.
“We’re looking for a Television” Remus said, knowing Draco would really have no idea what to say to the store employee.
“Well we have tons of televisions” The young man said, his name tag read Jeff.
“Is there anything in specific you’re looking for?” He asked as he lead the way towards the back of the store which held a rather large display wall with different brands and sizes of mounted televisions.
“Well my spouse is bedridden currently” Draco murmured, knowing being a married homosexual with a pregnant husband would not go over to well with the Muggle.
“Ah, so you need something for the bedroom then?” Jeff asked, nodding to himself as the group stopped in front of the wall.
“Yes, preferably something that plays...” He trailed off, looking at Remus desperately.
“DVDs” Remus filled in, smiling reassuringly at Draco.
“Yes those things” Draco murmured, his cheeks flushing lightly.
Jeff gave them both a funny look, but obviously the man saw the change to make a sale so he ignored the odd slip, who didn’t know what a DVD was?
“Well this set here has high definition picture and comes with a DVD player” The man said, showing a medium sized, flatscreen TV with an attached DVD player which he pointed out for Draco’s benefit. Draco looked over the set before glancing curiously at Remus who shook his head and pointed at a different set nearby.
This continued for hours it seemed, Draco was completely useless at purchasing Muggle items and Jeff had seemed to realize this after the fourth time that Draco had mispronounced the word ‘television’ and had begun to speak directly to Remus.
“We’ll take it” Remus finally said, showing Draco the television that he and Jeff had finally decided on.
“Okay” Draco said, pulling out his wallet and sliding free the debit card that Harry had had set up to their Gringotts account.
Jeff was beaming brightly as he escorted them towards the counter as he rung up the TV and Draco willingly paid for.
“That wasn’t so bad” Draco said, leaning against the car as the men from the store loaded the large box into the back.
Remus laughed at that, “Draco you asked some poor customer what his cell phone was and when he tried to explain you completely disregarded what he was saying, grabbed his phone and proceeded to yell at his wife in your attempt to ask her questions” Remus said as he slid into the car, wondering where else they were heading.
“I was curious, I’ve never seen a fellytone like that before” Draco said with a shrug, as Remus rolled his eyes and laughed, resolving to give Harry the memory later for his amusement.
“Once the telly was settled in the boot, Draco drove out of the parking lot, Remus once again clinging to the door handle as if his life depended on it, which in his mind, it did.
“Where to now?” He asked curiously, hazarding a glance at Draco before screwing his eyes shut again.
“A little shop by Diagon Alley, they’re able to make Muggle electomics work in Wizarding homes”
“Electronics” Remus automatically corrected before nodding his head and trying to ‘visualize his happy place’ as they careened through the streets of London.

Harry yawned, his eyes slowly flickering open as commotion in the bedroom alerted him to something going on. Cracking one green eye, he chanced a glance around the room, only to give a small gasp as he noticed the entire room had been re-arranged to allow for a rather large, flat screen telly to be put in front of the bed.
“Perfect” He heard his husband’s familiar drawl from somewhere to the left and Narcissa’s polite giggle at whatever had just occurred. Someone he was unfamiliar with muttered a curse under their breath before stomping out of the room. Shifting slightly, Harry forced himself to sit up, rubbing his eyes in shock as he glanced around.
“Dray?” He murmured weakly, looking at his husband with wide, sleep clouded eyes.
“Hey love” Draco murmured, instantly making his voice calm and soothing as he moved to sit beside his husband on the bed.
“Are you okay? We didn’t wake you?” Draco asked, his voice slightly anxious now.
“No, I’m fine” Harry waved away the concern before looking pointedly around the bedroom again.
“What did you do?” The brunette asked his blonde haired husband as both Lucius and Narcissa giggled again. A glance told Harry they had been standing in the doorway.
“We needed to make room for your new telly” Draco said, smiling lightly. “So we re-arranged the room a bit” He shrugged, as if it were nothing to come home with a spontaneously bought Muggle television and completely rearrange the entire bedroom, all while his pregnant husband slept on, completely oblivious. Because, to Draco, it wasn’t a bit deal at all. Harry smiled softly, shaking his head at his husband’s antics.
“So Harry” Lucius said, making his way in from the hallway, Narcissa right behind him. “Are you going to show us how this delightful device works?”
“I bought a bunch of those DVD things” Draco exclaimed gleefully, pulling a large back from behind the couch which was filled with a massive amount of different themed movies.
“Which one?” Harry asked, watching with amusement as the three Malfoys delved into the bag, debating which one of the ‘odd disk things’ they should watch. Finally the threesome settled on the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Nodding his head in agreement, Harry explained to Draco how to put the DVD into the player before he was promptly handed the remote as the Malfoys made themselves comfortable in the room. Draco slid in behind Harry, resting his husband against his chest, Lucius and Narcissa entwined on the couch, staring intently at the screen. After a few rough patches with getting the DVD to actually start, Harry and the others were soon enthralled with the drama on the screen, laughing at the antics of the Muggle world’s favorite pirate.

“That was incredible love” Draco murmured softly to his husband later that evening after they had watched the Second Pirate of the Caribbean movie at Draco’s insistence. Lucius and Narcissa had long since left, and Harry was cuddled quite contently against his husband, dozing on and off.
“Mm?” Harry mumbled, cracking an eye open and nodding as he realized what Draco had said.
“They are rather enjoyable” Harry agreed, shifting a bit as he turned off the newly acquired Muggle device. “Thank you Dray, for the telly, it’ll be nice to have something to do besides read and write all day” Harry added, tilting his head slightly to kiss his husband’s smooth cheek.
“Not a problem love, you know I love spoiling you” Draco murmured, reaching down to gently rub Harry’s protruding stomach. He loved spoiling Harry, making sure he was happy and if that meant heading to Muggle London to by a telly, well hell, he’d do it. He grinned as he ran his fingers lightly over his husband’s stomach, awed that his children were inside there, that Harry was carrying life inside him. Overwhelmed at the thought, he leaned forward, tilting Harry’s head gently in order to capture his lips.
“I love you” Draco murmured as he broke the kiss, gazing deeply into Harry’s emerald eyes.
“I love you too Dray” Harry murmured, slightly shocked at the depth of emotion he saw in his husband’s silver orbs. A light blush crawled up Harry’s cheek as a familiar warmth spread across the inside of his stomach, blossoming in the all too familiar butterflies that still plagued him to this day whenever Draco was particularly emotional or loving. A soft smile graced Draco’s lips as he brushed his thumb over Harry’s heated cheeks, his eyes still attached to the green ones that stared back at him shyly.
“Get some sleep love” Draco finally murmured, breaking off the moment, “It’s rather late, and you need to get a lot of rest” He added, kissing Harry’s nose as he slipped out from behind him.
“Where are you going?” Harry whined, already missing the warmth and comfort Draco’s body provided.
“To wash up” Draco murmured looking pointedly at the washroom, “And then I’ll be back in bed” He reassured, smirking his trademark Malfoy smirk at the diminutive brunette in the bed.
“Okay” Harry yawned, letting his body slip back into the blankets, closing his eyes as he heard the shower flick on. He was asleep in a matter of moments.

Theo sighed, his hands clasped in front of him as he surveyed the small group of people in front of him. He was at a business meeting, though he was paying absolutely no attention to the man, he thought his name was Anton, speaking about some numbers or something. Instead he was contemplating the ultimate downfall of Draco Malfoy, the traitor. He needed to wait a bit longer before he struck, he wanted to give Potter and Draco the idea that everything had calmed down for them before he struck when they were at their weakest. He knew the Weasleys were being rather bothersome for the couple at the moment, which was a nice added bonus to his ultimate plan. However, he did need to wait, it wouldn’t do to move to early and be caught. He was, after all, threatening not only the Malfoy family, but the unborn heir of the Malfoy family, and that in itself was a one way ticket to Azkaban, where he had absolutely no desire to be. Shaking his head, he roused himself from his thoughts, a sadistic smile on his face as he returned his attention to the meeting, ignoring the cringes of his board members as they caught sight of the twisted smile. Soon enough the unborn Malfoy spawn would die and Potter would leave the traitorous blonde, taking everything with him. Malfoy would be alone and miserable, and then Theo would be happy. Once he had stripped Draco of everything, he would be happy.

The following week Harry had his Healer’s appointment at the Manor as had been decided before. Lucius and Narcissa were pressing for Harry and Draco to move to their house until after the twins were born, but neither Harry or Draco was to anxious to make the move to the Malfoy ancestral home. Not only would it be a lot of work, but they rather liked their own Manor, it suited them, and for now they had opted to stay. Both knew that once Harry was closer to his due date, they’d have to move, even if just for safety purposes. Ever since the public had discovered Harry’s pregnancy thanks to a leaked story from one Ginevra Weasley, Harry and Draco had been receiving a lot of very negative, often dangerous fan mail. Of course they did have some support, but the majority of the wizarding population still firmly believed the Malfoys were the reincarnation of pure evil and Harry had been duped into Marriage. Harry shuddered lightly, still remembering when Mipsy had brought him the usual copy of the Prophet yesterday. His reaction had been rather, err, dramatic. He had almost given his poor husband a bloody heart attack. Lucius and Narcissa had been furious, announcements of pregnancy for pureblood families were rather important and often well planned out. Not just some story spewed to the gossip rags. Of course Draco had to make a statement after that, confirming the pregnancy though he didn’t give any details. Though in an emergency edition of the Prophet, printed later that evening, Hermione Granger-Weasley had given an interview stating that Harry was carrying twins. The backlash in a day since the announcement had been incredible. It was one of the reasons Lucius and Narcissa were pressing so hard for the move, they didn’t want something to get past the renewed wards set by Draco.
“So Harry, you ready?” Healer Markins asked as Draco escorted him into the room.
“I suppose” Harry said with a gin, “I can’t wait to figure out what sex they are” He said, rubbing his hand over his stomach affectionately.
“Just a bit longer till we can check. Eighteen weeks if we’re lucky” Markins said, smiling reassuringly at the brunette.
“So Draco has told me he’s worried about your stress levels” The Healer commented, switching back into his ‘Doctor’ persona as Harry called it in his head.
“Yea, since the articles I have been a bit stressed” Harry admitted.
“Yes, I saw those” Markins said, pulling a face. “The board of directors have spoken to Miss Weasley about that. She was privy to personal information and she broke the patient-healer confidentiality oath that we all take. She has been given two warnings thus far, one more and she’ll be asked to leave the healing program she’s enrolled in” He explained as Draco nodded, hovering anxiously near Harry’s head.
“I just wish they didn’t feel the need to drag my personal life into everything” Harry said dryly.
“I can imagine” The Healer said with a small grin, before becoming all business-like again.
“Draco also mentioned you’ve been receiving some rather dangerous mail. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you not to open it”
“Of course not, I just get the elves to burn or get rid of anything thats from people we don’t know. And even letters from friends or family are subjected to testing” Harry explained, letting the Healer gently push up his shirt, exposing his bare stomach.
Markins smiled reassuringly as Harry’s breath hitched for a moment at the cold of the gel he was spreading across the steadily growing bump.
“I’m just going to cast some diagnostic spells and then do a scan so you can see them” He said, watching the wide eyes of the young married couple.
“See them?” Draco breathed, refraining from touching Harry’s stomach now that the gel was applied.
“Yes, I figured we’d give the whole ultrasound a try” Markins said with a grin.
Harry’s green eyes were round, tears of happiness shining brightly causing the lovely emerald colour to be magnified even more.
Pulling out his wand, Markins began to cast the subsequent spells, paying attention to the role of parchment that recorded his results after each spell. About twenty minutes later he finished, studying the paper curiously.
“Well it looks good, but I’m a bit concerned about your calcium intake” Markins murmured, “You might need a supplement or a potion, but that’s about it” The Healer explained.
Draco nodded, making a note on a piece of parchment he had summoned at the start of the examination.
“I’ll mention it to Severus” The blonde murmured, shifting a bit as Markins added a bit more gel to Harry’s distended abdomen,
“Ready?” The Healer asked, smiling as Harry nodded excitedly.
“Alright then” Preforming a silent charm, A small image appeared above Harry’s stomach, sort of like a projection, showing the inside of Harry’s stomach.
“And here are your children” Markins said, using his free hand to point out the pair of twins, which were wrapped around themselves, though it was very, very difficult to actually see them.
“Wow” Harry breathed, tears spilling unheeded down his cheeks as he stared at the image. Draco seemed unable to speak. Finally the Healer ended the spell, breaking the magic moment that had taken control of the room since he first cast the projection spell.
“Thank you” Draco breathed as Markins spelled Harry’s stomach clean.
“No problem, soon you’ll be able to see them much better, and shortly we’ll be able to tell the sex of them, if they behave” Markins murmured, casting a cleaning spell on his hands.
“I shall see you both in two weeks time, owl me or floo if you have any concerns of questions” Markins murmured, smiling at the couple. Despite not supposed to be emotionally involved with patients, Harry Potter-Malfoy had wormed his way into the Healer’s heart, and he had grown steadily more attached to his young charge.
“We will, thank you” Harry beamed at the man as Draco shook his hand and showed the man out to the floo room.
Coming back into the room, Draco smiled as he saw Harry gently stroking his stomach lightly.
“You okay?” Draco asked, slipping onto the bed and gently pulling Harry into his arms.
“Yea, I’m okay” Harry murmured softly, “Just a bit stunned I guess. I can’t believe we got to see them” He explained as Draco reached over, entwining their fingers over the swell of Harry’s stomach.
“Me too love. It sort of made this whole thing more real” Draco said, kissing Harry’s cheek affectionately. Harry nodded, sliding a bit lower in the blankets, “Tired?” Draco asked, noting Harry’s eye lids sliding lower and lower.
“A bit, I guess the appointment wore me out” Harry admitted, he felt tired all the time lately, though Markins said it was just a side effect of his injury on top of the pregnancy.
“Sleep them for a bit. I’ll go floo Sev about that calcium nutrient. Maybe he can add something to our nutrient potions” Draco mused, carefully pulling the blankets over Harry before leaving the room.

Arthur Weasley sighed trying to stem out his wife’s ranting as she and Ginny read over the letter from the board of Directors at St.Mungos. Both women were ranting that it was unfair for Ginny to be served a warning, their faces as read as their hair as they spoke, voices slowly getting louder and louder.
“What is this warning over anyway?” Arthur finally asked, trying to figure out what had set off his family.
“Healer Markins reported me to the board twice” Ginny explained, her voice slightly below the level of ‘banshee shriek’ as the twins called it.
“What for?” Arthur asked, eyeing the letter curiously.
“First because I apparently treated Harry rudely” Ginny said, rolling her eyes as if this hadn’t been the case. “And second because I spoke to the press about Harry’s pregnancy”
“Well no wonder you got reported” Arthur said with a frown. “You took an oath when you entered the academy about not revealing personal matters with patients. Of course you got reported”
“Arthur” Molly’s voice was affronted. “It wasn’t Ginny’s fault that the press attacked her like that”
“She shouldn’t have spoken to the press in the first place Molly. You know how important the announcement of a pregnancy is to the old pureblood families. We’ll be lucky if we don’t get sued for this” Arthur grumbled.
“Lucius Malfoy could easily sue us and the Prophet for slander or emotional damage or something”
“Harry wouldn’t let them” Ginny said, shaking her head, red hair flying.
“Harry took out a restraining order against your Mother. He’s stopped going to Mungos for appointments, they’ve banned Ron and Hermione from the house. They clearly don’t want anything to do with us currently, except for maybe the twins” Arthur snapped.
“That’s not our Harry doing that, it’s those damn Malfoys” Molly shrieked, “Harry would never abandon us like that”
“Molly grow up” Arthur snapped, shaking his head in disgust at his wife and daughter’s behaviour.
“Harry is an adult, a married adult. He’s about to start his family” Arthur growled, “Now I haven’t said anything until now, but now I’m putting my foot down. You two will leave Harry Potter-Malfoy be” He growled. “Harry is not our child Molly, nor is he your intended Ginny. He is his own person, a happy young man, and I demand that you leave him be. If I catch word or find out anyone in our family except for perhaps Bill, Charlie and the twins, have approached the Malfoys I will invoke my power as head of this house and ban you from contact”
“Arthur” Molly said, her tone soft and very nearly condescending.
“No Molly, you know I love you and our family but we’re sticking our noses in where they don’t belong. Being so close to Dumbledore has given you the idea that we’re allowed to be intimately involved and even control Harry’s life. Well we can’t” Arthur growled.
“Harry is not our child, nor do we have any say how he runs his life. That boy is happy where he is and you will leave him alone” With that he stepped away from the girls, heading out to his small shed to get some time alone.

“I’ll try and alter the potion to allow for more calcium nutrients” Severus said, his head bobbing in the green flames.
“If not, I’ll make up a special potion just for that. Thought for the time being I suggest making sure Harry drinks plenty of milk, and eats yogurt and cheese” The Potions Master added.
“Will do Sev, thank you” Draco watched the man withdraw from the flame, a happy smile on his face before he flooed his parents and told them about Harry’s appointment. He’d worry about everything else later, but for now he was content. He had seen his children today, and he wasn’t about to let anything ruin the happiness of that memory. In fact he’d already stored it in his personal pensive, something he’d show his parents later.
