Chapter 2: A reunion
With a loud crack, Draco and Harry appeared in front of the Weasley’s house, just outside the gate. Draco’s eye brows shot up as he surveyed the house and land.
“How did you get around here?” He asked, setting up Harry’s chair with a flick of his wand before settling his husband into it. He knew Harry had lived with the Weasley’s for a summer after his injury before he moved in with Ron and Hermione.
“I didn’t” Harry admitted with a shrug as he allowed Draco to push him towards the house.
“Molly and Arthur tried to make it so I could get around, but the house just wasn’t built to accommodate me and my needs” Harry responded his eyes growing wide as they approached the front door.
“Harry!” Molly Weasley’s voice rang out as the large woman threw the door open.
“Oh Harry Dear it’s been so long” She scolded, pulling the boy from his seat into a hug. She completely ignored Draco for the time being as she broke into an instant lecture about Harry’s weight and how pale he looked. She fussed over him as she settled the boy back in his chair before leading the couple inside. Draco sneered at her retreating back as he helped Harry get over the door stop and into the kitchen. Harry on the other hand just looked shell shocked.
“Here Harry this should keep you warm” Molly said, marching back into the room with a thick blanket, ignoring Harry’s soft protests she tucked the offending material around his legs, making sure he was covered from the waist down. Harry blushed, muttering a thank you, though it was obvious he didn’t appreciate the blanket.
“Anyway, you two just get comfortable, we’ll be having lunch shortly” Molly said, “Just waiting for the others to get here” She herded the boys into the living room, offering drinks and what not. Draco immediately thought of fire whisky but figured that would be frowned upon so early in the morning. Instead he, like Harry, opted for some coffee, needing the caffeine boost to get through the day.
Harry found himself sitting between Fred and George Weasley at the lunch table. The table, which had to be reinforced with charms, was laden with Molly’s home cooking. Sitting directly across from him, and in between Arthur and Ginny, was Draco. His husband offered him a small smile before Harry was drawn, once again into conversation with the twins. It was much easier to tell them apart now, George was missing an ear, having lost that on Harry’s daring attempt to get from the Dursley’s house to the Burrow five years previous. Fred’s face, much like Bill’s was marred with a few manly scars, during the Battle of Hogwarts when Harry defeated Voldemort, Fred had taken a curse meant for Percy Weasley, who was missing from the table. It had been mistaken for a killing curse, but it hadn’t been, thank god.
Harry reached for a bowl sitting in front of him, mashed potatoes filled it to the brim and carefully scooped out some for himself.
“Harry dear, ask for help” Molly chided gently, “You shouldn’t strain yourself” Harry’s cheeks darkened, it was just like it had been when he had lived here before.
“How’s work then?” Ron asked Draco, rather loudly it seemed.
“Been decent, had a bit of a break since our Keeper got married” Draco replied, though he continued to watch Harry protectively.
“How’s being an Auror?” Harry asked Ron, deciding that joining the conversation was the best way to keep attention off of himself.
“Its been good, had a rather difficult case awhile back, just got all the paper work done” Ron said, shrugging. He didn’t seem to want to offer details which was totally out of character for Ron and Harry assumed his mother had told him not to talk about anything that might ‘upset’ Harry.
“What about you ‘Mione? Still woking on that house elf legislation?” Harry asked, a small frown on his face.
“Ooh yes” The bushy haired girl smiled, “Especially since I’m not working at the moment” She said, patting her distended stomach affectionately.
“How long are you on leave?”
“Till three months after the baby’s born, so about five months total. Then I’ll be back to the law offices” She responded, “What have you been up to Harry?” She asked kindly, ignoring the glare Molly sent in her direction.
“Oh, I started writing my second book” Harry said with a small grin, he had taken to writing fictional stories and his first published work had been quite popular.
“That and working on re-modeling the kitchen, it was an absolute mess when we bought the house”
“You’ve been working on re-modeling?” Molly asked, eyebrows shooting up into her hair line.
“Well as much as I can do” Harry said, shrugging as he took a small nibble of food, “The house elves help me with the rest”
Molly made a weird noise, as if she were going to say something else, but refrained from doing so.
“Have you been seeing your healer?” She asked instead, causing Draco to scowl.
“We go once a month like we always have” Draco snapped, shaking his head at Molly. It was clear to the blonde that the woman didn’t trust him to take care of his own bloody husband.
“Oh well no need to get snippy, Harry was just so reluctant to go before”
“Well he’s not now” Draco responded petulantly.
“How’s the joke shop?” Harry asked in a strangled voice, although he already knew the answer, he was, after all, the only silent partner in the twins’ business.
“Awesome, just finished construction on our new premises in Hogsmead, since Zonko’s was burnt down during the war” Fred said with a grin.
“You’ll have to come check it out, we could use a hand with getting the inside all set up” George added, smiling at Harry.
“Absolutely not” Molly said, her eyes narrowed. “Harry shouldn’t be going to such a dangerous place” She shook her head and glowered at her sons as if they should know better then to suggest such a thing.
“I’d love to come by” Harry said, ignoring Molly pointedly, “Just owl me and then we can work something out”
“Actually, I have a practice on Sunday, Harry love why not go then?” Draco said, he actually rather liked the twins, and they had had the two over for dinner a few times.
“Sunday? Sure thing” George nodded, “We can pick you up on our way over” Fred added, smiling softly. With the plans made, Harry resumed eating with a happy smile on his face, heedless of the angry expression marring Molly, Ron and Ginny’s features.
“See you Sunday then Harry” Fred called as he and George apperated away, presumably heading back to their first shop in Diagon Alley since the twins lived above the shop there. Harry nodded and waved before returning his attention to the others, Ron was helping Hermione stand, and the couple was looking at him with matching expressions.
“I was hoping you’d come over to ours on Sunday” Hermione said, trying to sound disappointed, “I need help with baby stuff and Ron’s working”
“Sorry ‘Mione, maybe another time” Harry said, shrugging lightly.
“And here’s my contact information, if you ever need someone to watch Harry, you let me know” Molly said, pressing a small card into Draco’s hands.
“Mrs. Weasley, Harry is perfectly capable of looking after himself” Draco said, trying to avoid taking the card.
“No dear, he thinks he is, but he’s not” Molly said, shaking her head. “Just call me whenever you’re off to work or something and I can floo over and keep an eye on things” She said, completely disregarding Draco’s annoyed expression.
“Whatever” The aristocratic blonde snapped, thrusting the card into his pocket.
“You ready love? We have to go get changed before we head to Mother and Father’s for dinner tonight” He reminded Harry, who looked rather uncomfortable in his conversation with Ron and Hermione.
“You’re going to dinner with the Malfoys?” Ginny asked Harry, looking sickened. The youngest Weasley was much like her mother and still unfortunately in love with Harry. She seemed to treat his marriage to Draco as Harry rebelling and was under the impression he’d come back to her one day. It bothered Harry immensely since Ginny often treated him like Molly did; as a helpless child.
“Of course, they are my family” Harry said, in fact, he rather enjoyed Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, once everything was behind them of course, war wise.
“Harry its bad enough that you married a Malfoy, but to associate with them..” Ginny started before Harry shook his head, cutting her off mid-lecture.
“Its my life, I can do what I choose with it. Draco and his family make me happy and I am going to go to dinner with them, regardless of how you or your family feels about it” He growled before looking pointedly at his husband, “Lets go”.
Smirking, Draco scooped up Harry and shrunk the wheelchair, sticking it in his pocket before carrying his too-light husband towards the gate. Once through, he apperated the pair home.
“Well that was fun” Harry muttered sarcastically as Draco settled him back in his chair.
“Weasleys” Draco agreed, “Hard to imagine that them and the twins are related”
“Minus the red hair and the freckles I would think they were a different family” Harry agreed, heading down the hall towards their bedroom.
“What time are we leaving?” He called back over his shoulder at Draco.
“Not for awhile, why don’t you just relax for a bit?” Draco called back as he bustled about the kitchen. He hadn’t eaten much at the Weasleys and was rather hungry.
“Okay” Harry called, his voice muffled by the walls between them.
Carefully Harry pulled himself out of his and Draco’s bed, where he had been having a nice nap.
“What should I wear?” Draco asked him, ignoring Harry’s rolling eyes, as he held up three different outfits.
“Why are you asking me? I’m, and I quote, useless at fashion” Harry said, knowing Draco would pick out both their outfits for the evening anyway.
“You’re right, I need Pansy” Draco teased.
“Its dinner with your parents, not the minister” Harry said, shaking his head softly, “Just wear something nice and you’re parents will be fine’ He said gently as he dug in the closet for the silver dress shirt Narcissa had gotten him the past christmas. Carefully sliding it on, he opted to leave his jeans on since changing pants was a bit of work and he just didn’t have the energy.
“You okay love?” Draco asked as he finally finished dressing.
“Fine, just a bit tired and sore” Harry admitted. Frowning, Draco pulled out his wand and pointed it at his husband and muttering a diagnostic spell that their healer had taught him.
“You have a bit of a cold love” Draco said, frowning, “Will you be okay to go to dinner? Or should I cancel?” Despite Harry being strong, colds and other illnesses were particularly hard on anyone paralyzed. Harry offered Draco a small smile and rolled his eyes again.
“I’ll be fine love, dinner’s not stressful” Harry said gently, not wanting to worry his husband.
“Okay, but if you’re worse tomorrow, you’re resting all day” Draco muttered, before pushing Harry out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. He helped Harry pull on his jacket, since he wasn’t sure what the weather at his parents would be like, and quickly apperated the two of them to Malfoy Manor.
