Truth Revealed
Harry is trying to concentrate on his students. It is good that he had not opted to teach at Hogwarts since he couldn't just cancel the class at Hogwarts just because he is not feeling like teaching. That is exactly what is happening right now. He should never have said all that to the kids. He had only wanted to provoke Draco to finally do something...shout at him... rant at him or even beat him to a pulp. Years have passed but Draco has not said anything at all to Harry which in itself is surprising and frustrating.
He is practically vibrating with anxiety.
After clearing his throat, he looks at his twenty five students "Listen. I have to go somewhere very urgently so I am finishing the class early today."
"Yes, Professor Potter." They speak in unison and leave one by one. Harry locks the room he has assigned as his classroom and returns to the sitting room of his manor.
They had gone off after he had told all those lies to them and it has been an hour since then. They have still not returned. Harry paces from one corner of his large sitting room to another, wondering what is taking them so long.
Finally, ten minutes later, he feels the wards vibrate and the door opens. They enter one by one and stand in front of him.
"What happened?" He asks impatiently and it is Albus who answers, his eyes a little angry "Mr. Malfoy didn't answer any of our questions dad." This just increases Harry's anxiety. He turns towards Scorpius who was looking at him with narrowed silver eyes, "He must have said something at least."
Scorpius shakes his head and looks at him suspiciously, "It's almost as if you want him to come here and shout at you. We asked so many questions. He just looked quietly at us and then retreated to his study. I didn't expect him to say anything Mr. Potter. He does not speak to anyone."
"It's all right dad. He hurt you and deserved it." Lily hugs him and he hugs his daughter back quietly. His head is spinning and he knows that Draco won't keep quiet about this. Why had he told all that to them? The reason of his anxiety was very simple. Draco would not take kindly to his lies but why is he not here, shouting at Harry.
"Dad-" James starts and the wards vibrate for the second time. Harry swallows and looks with nervous green eyes towards the door. It is knocked twice and Harry whispers "Enter."
"Master, I have brought Mr. Malfoy inside." Dobby said and he nods "All right."
Then Draco comes in, closing the door behind him. He is dressed immaculately and is looking as handsome as ever. Slowly, Harry's eyes trail from his foot to his robe clad belly and then his sneering face. Over the past fourteen years, Draco has avoided every opportunity of coming across Harry.
But Harry still had glimpses of Draco and yearned for him. He had tried to make a life with Ginny but had failed because he imagined blond hair instead of red and wanted mischievous silver eyes looking at him instead of soft brown. They divorced and Harry took the custody of the kids though Ginny participated equally in raising them.
"Potter." The word is spoken softly. The sneer doesn't falter. Everyone is silent and Harry looks at Draco. His eyes are neither, soft, nor compliant, nor mischievous like they had been all those years ago. They are hard and furious and Harry aches to see them soften again. One look at them and Harry knows that he is going to regret telling anything to kids.
"Yes, Draco." He whispers and turns towards the kids "Please settle in your rooms-"
However Draco cuts him off "No. They will stay here.". He had expected this so he just closes his eyes and takes a long breathe. His eyes are glaring poisonously at Harry. His lips are pinched together.
"But Draco, I think that we need privacy to talk about this." Harry replies, his eyes open and cautious as he looks into Draco's hard ones. The words that slip from Draco's mouth are so shocking that Harry's eyes shoot wide and he stares at the blond.
"I have not arrived so that you can fuck me. I wish to answer their questions and that does not require any privacy." Draco speaks sharply, bluntly and everyone stares at him.
"Draco-" He swallows, staring at him. Draco snaps at him "You have no right to call me by my first name Potter."
"I-" Harry starts and backs off though Draco has not taken even a single step towards him yet.
"How can you be so shameless. You lied to them about fucking everything." Draco speaks in a barely controlled voice and looks into his eyes. Draco's eyes are so hard that Harry flinches.
"I never left you. I didn't betray you. I gave everything up for you, everything. You told them that I abandoned you and broke your filthy heart. Do you even have one?" Draco says. His eyes are blazing. Harry swallows. He knows what Draco is implying.
No-one except Draco and Harry himself know about Harry's secret. It's a surprise that Draco hasn't told anyone till now.
Harry mutters weakly "You just got up and left and got married."
That is when Draco walks towards him. Kids had stayed quiet till now but now Albus speaks up, "I think that we should leave."
Draco turns towards the kids and speaks sharply "Oh no. You asked me a lot of questions and I will answer them."
"Father. Please. I think you need to speak to Mr. Potter. This is not necessary." Scorpius speaks calmly and Draco glares at him "You will stay here and witness everything."
No one speaks for a few minutes after that. Draco simply looks at the gob smacked and nervous kids silently.
"I did not leave him. Father-"Draco stops and Harry sees him close his eyes before opening them again "Father wanted me to marry Pansy. I loved Potter and didn't want to marry anyone else. Father was forcing me and I didn't know what to do. So I sought Potter's help. I remember everything very clearly. I had tried to speak to him all week and he had simply brushed me off every time. The day before I married her, I remember that day very clearly. It was an eye opening day for me. I asked him to help me because I did not want to marry her, because I loved him and he said very bluntly that he would marry Ginevra, that he had never wanted to marry me at all. I was stunned and wanted to talk further but he distracted me by seducing me. That night I tried again. I tried to talk to him because I had to leave the next morning but he seduced me again and then we fell asleep."
Harry can't face his kids any longer. He turns away from them and leans against the wall, looking at the floor instead. His heart is racing. Draco was completely right. He had not even tried to stop Draco. Later, he had regretted it but he had taken Draco for granted and had not even attempted to fight for him. Draco had done everything Harry wanted. He had been everything Harry desired him to be.
"The next morning, I was sleeping in the Room Of Requirement when an owl flew inside with Headmaster's letter. The letter said that the marriage had been postponed by a day and I was naturally elated. I thought that perhaps I would convince him somehow. I was wrong, though. He didn't even speak to me about it. We met in the Room of Requirement again and he fucked me and then we just slept again. I had to leave and get packed so I left the room."
Harry feels a lump in his throat and closes his eyes and pleads Draco silently to stop but Draco continues "I did not sleep that night. I packed and sat on the quidditch ground. It was raining and I thought that perhaps Potter would feel my absence and come. I sat there all night long, wet and cold and waited for him but he never came. I returned home next day and father got me married to Pansy. Potter simply returned to fucking Ginevra Weasley instead of me."
Finally Harry looks up and finds everyone looking at him in shock, everyone sans Draco. Ignoring everyone's disappointed eyes, he looks at the blond "Draco."
Draco ignores him. He stares at the opposite wall, his face blank. Harry wonders what he is reminiscing.
"Draco, it's been such a long time. Please forgive me." Harry murmurs. He is begging. Yes, he is practically begging him.
"No amount of time will heal my wounds." Draco replies. His eyes are so sad now, sad and pained and merlin Harry wants to take him in his arms. But he is not his old naive compliant Draco now. He is hard and his pain and fury have accumulated over the years.
"There is something I need you to know Potter. No one knows about it except Severus."
Draco's eyes are brimming with tears now. Harry is shocked and sweating. Draco doesn't cry. period. No matter what.
"What is it?" Harry asks and Draco takes along and erratic breath, "I don't think you need to know. You won't care anyways. It hadn't mattered at that time and it won't matter. Farewell Potter. I would appreciate it if you keep your distance from me."
With this Draco turns around. Kids are quiet and there eyes are guilty.
"Father, I am coming with you."
"Maybe I should-" Albus mutters and Scorpius glares at him, "Your presence is not required."
Harry stares and a sense of shame creeps inside him. Draco's eyes are boring in his skull. Harry doesn't have strength to look at him. But he does because he needs to know what Draco is hiding.
"Tell me." Harry whispers and Draco shakes his head before leaving.
His kids retreat and Scorpius follows Draco. Albus's eyes are pained and humiliated. Harry keeps on staring at the spot where Draco had stood just a few moments ago until his eyes start burning and his legs start aching.
