Chapter 22: Special Moments

Draco was beyond relieved to be within the safe walls of his family’s manor. Harry was resting, though he kept stating that it was under protest and that he was fine, his parents were out, shopping -again- and he was researching ways to discover where Theodore Nott was hiding. He knew the Aurors’ were out looking as well, but he needed to do something to ensure his husband and unborn children’s safety and this was the only way he felt able.

“Master Draco Sir?” A voice sounded by his elbow, accompanied by a tug on his clothing. Glancing down, Draco wasn’t overly surprised to see the Manor’s head elf standing anxiously beside him.

“Yes?” He asked, arching a manicured eyebrow at the diminutive elf.

“Master Harry is asking for you Sir” He murmured, his voice soft yet squeaky.

“Oh, well tell him I’m coming then” Draco ordered, quickly shuffling his papers together and scrubbing the ink stains on his hands. The elf disapperated with a loud pop as he rushed down the hallway towards his and Harry’s room.

“You asked for me?” Draco asked softly as he entered the room. Harry was lying on the large, canopied bed, a photo album spread across his lap and a stack of pictures by his side.

Harry glanced up, smiling goofily, “I did indeed” He said, his green eyes sparkling.

“What are you doing?” Draco asked, carefully moving a stack of pictures in order to sit down next to his husband.

“I’m making a baby book” Harry said with a grin. “A scrapbook of the twins from before they’re born till whenever..” Harry added at Draco’s confused look.

“Ah, sounds lovely” Draco murmured with a happy smile.

Harry nodded, closing the book and looking at Draco with a coy expression.

“What?” Draco asked with a mock exasperated sigh.

“I want a bath” Harry declared imperiously, “And I want you to join me” He added, pouting lightly.

“Ahh” Draco said with a small chuckle, his arm wrapping around Harry and tugging him against his side. “Of course I’ll join you love. That tub is big enough for five people, we should take advantage of the space” He said, kissing his husband’s cheek lightly.

“Thanks Dray” Harry said, rubbing his stomach lightly where his bump was.

“C’mon love” Draco said with an affectionate eye roll. He carefully scooped his husband up, making sure he was steady before he began to walk towards the washroom.

Setting Harry down in a chair which had been set up in the washroom for this purpose, Draco began to run water as well as Harry’s current favorite smelling bath oils. Once the bath was deep enough and filled with bubbles, Draco carefully gathered up his husband and settled him in the hot water, after helping him free of his sleep clothes. Stripping himself, he slid in behind his husband, settling him between his legs, Harry’s back against his chest. He brought his hands up, wrapping them around Harry’s waist and settling them on Harry’s protruding bulge, hoping to catch the tell-tale movement of his sons’ shifting about inside Harry.

“Thanks love” Harry said softly, cuddling against Draco, eyes already beginning to slide shut. They weren’t able to have sex currently due to Harry being so far along in the dangerous pregnancy, but Draco was comfortable to just sit and hold Harry. He knew his husband was tired, he could tell, but the twins often bounced around while Harry was lying down which made sleeping difficult. Baths tended to relax the babies as well as Harry, and he often drifted off in the bath, which was why Draco insisted on joining him, for safety of course.

Molly Weasley sighed as she made her way through Diagon Alley. Ginny was beside her and the two women were busily window shopping, neither could really afford to shop seriously right now.

“Any news about Harry?” Molly asked her daughter, knowing it was easier for Ginny to get news while at work then it was for her while she was sitting at home.

“He was rushed in a few weeks back about something” Ginny said, “Stayed a week and a bit in Malfoy’s private wing, and then was discharged. I, of course, couldn’t get close enough to figure out was wrong, but there was lots of gossip. Some people are saying he was poisoned and lost the babies”

“Poor boy” Molly tutted, “He should have been with us, we could have protected him better then those damn Malfoys” The matriarch of the Weasley family hissed.

Ginny nodded in agreement, her eyes flashing as she noticed two pale heads walking through the crowd.

“Look” She nodded, drawing her mother’s attention to the Malfoy parents.

“Lovely” Molly sneered, though her sneer had nothing on Severus Snape’s.

Lucius and Narcissa were shopping, though for once it wasn’t for the unborn twins, but for the Manor. They needed some additions to make it safer, not only for the soon to be babies, but for Harry.

Walking with his customary snake-headed cane, Lucius’ hand tightened in annoyance as he realized the Weasley females were not far from them in the crowd of people. Narcissa noticed his actions and glanced around, her blue eyes narrowing as they fell on the Weasley women.

“Lovely, I suppose we can expect a shouting match in Diagon Alley now” The blonde woman murmured in a scathing tone.

“I doubt they’d be that foolish after everything that’s occurred lately” Lucius said with a small smile. “After all, we do have a restraining order placed on them against Harry. We could always extend it for the whole family” He added with a shrug.

Of course, he was to be proven wrong, which was something Lucius Malfoy didn’t enjoy.

“Malfoy” Ginny hissed as the four people came in contact with one another.

“Miss Weasley” Lucius said, sneering at the girl. He was contemplating the multiple ways to get the girl fired.

“What did you do to Harry?” Molly half-screeched, her voice grating whatever ears it came in contact with.

Narcissa sighed, looking at her husband with an exasperated expression.

“Harry is at home in our Manor resting” Lucius said, “Not that its any of your business” He added in a hard, annoyed tone.

“He should be with us” Molly hissed, “He lost his children, sitting in your museum you call a house can’t be good for him” She yelled, drawing the attention of every reporter in the alley.

“You have been misinformed Mrs.Weasley, Harry is still very much pregnant and expecting his twins, the Malfoy heirs, in three months” Lucius growled, “Now remove yourself from my presence before I call the Aurors to deal with you”

Molly looked shaken but quickly regained her bravado, “I will make sure that boy is returned to those who love him Malfoy. Not those who use him as a breeding mare”

“How dare you” Narcissa hissed, joining the conversation for the first time.

“We love that boy like he is our own child. We will continue to love him and offer the family and home he has always craved. What do you have to offer him? A hovel he can’t move in? Deny him access to his children?” She growled, looking every bit the powerful, aristocratic witch she was.

“We could give him anything you could” Ginny screeched, sounding exactly like her mother.

“Of course you could” Lucius hissed sarcastically. “Come love, lets leave these two to their window shopping. We have actual shopping to do” He swept away from the flabbergasted and angry Weasley women, his wife by his side.

Setting Harry in bed, Draco carefully put away Harry’s album things and made sure his husband was comfortable. He carefully left the room, closing the door silently behind him and creeping down the hallway in an effort not to wake Harry. He was beyond relieved that his husband was finally sleeping, even if it was due to hot water and sweet smelling bath oils. Sighing he slid into his father’s office, seeing an emergency printing of the Daily Prophet sitting on the desk.

He jumped rather bad as he snatched the paper up, the bold headline startling him badly.

“Harry Potter’s Miracle Twins Dead”

Cursing he scanned the article quickly, his eyes flying open as he read over the so-called facts. According to the reporter, The senior Malfoy’s had been seen talking to Molly Weasley and her daughter in Diagon Alley. Ginevra Weasley had pointed out that Harry had been poisoned and lost his children. The Malfoy parents had stated that this wasn’t true, but the population had to wonder if the Malfoys were once again covering up something major that had to do with their Saviour. Cursing, Draco tossed the paper into the fire, not wanting his husband to read it and be upset again. Harry wasn’t supposed to be upset, it wouldn’t be healthy nor good for the twins.

As the newspaper ashes began to disappear, the floo flared to life and Narcissa stepped through, followed closely by Lucius.

“Did you see?” Lucius asked, brandishing his own copy of the Prophet.

“Yea, I just burned my copy” Draco murmured, shaking his head in disgust.

“We were just at the paper, I’m pressing charges for printing this slander. This is the second time they’ve misreported about Harry and this pregnancy” Lucius hissed, slamming his copy down on the desk. Narcissa nodded, summoning a house elf and asking for a bottle of wine as well as three glasses.

“We can’t let Harry see this” Draco murmured lightly, “It will only prove to upset him, and he doesn’t need that right now”

His parents nodded in agreement, “The Weasleys’ need to be dealt with, they continually shove their noses in ours and Harry’s business. I feel we have, on more than one occasion, made it clear to them that we will not tolerate this type of behaviour and yet they persist. I’m going to have the restraining order amended to include Ginevra Weasley as well, but also amend it so that our entire family is protected, including the unborn ones” Lucius said, beginning a letter to Amelia Bones.

“Sounds good” Draco murmured, accepting a glass of wine from the house elf that had appeared with the drinks a moment previous. Sipping slowly, he stared into the fire, contemplating all the drama that had occurred in his and Harry’s life as of late. He sighed, as much as he hated what had happened, some of it he wouldn’t change for the world. This entire ordeal had made him realize just how much he adored the man he married and how excited he was to be having children with him.

His parents both noted the slightly awed expression on Draco’s face and shared a look. Lucius understood exactly how his son felt, and he couldn’t be prouder.

Both elder Malfoys were overjoyed at the prospect of having grandchildren. Narcissa couldn’t wait to coo and cuddle the soon-to-arrive baby boys while Lucius was looking forward to being a grandfather, teaching them things, spending time with them as well as watching Draco and Harry cope and learn how to be parents. It would be a wonderful journey for all of them, and one none of them could wait to embark on.

Harry awoke abruptly the next morning, he winced and glanced around, trying to see what roused him. He bit back a scream as he came face to face with Mipsy, the tiny elf was seated at the end of the bed, a copy of the Daily Prophet clutched tightly in her hands. Taking a deep breath, Harry attempted to calm his racing heart before he spoke to the elf. He knew Draco was gone, he could hear the shower going as well as see the steam rolling gently from under the doorway.

“Yes Mipsy?” He finally asked when he felt he could talk with gasping.

“Master Harry was asking Mipsy to bring him the paper if it talked about him. Mipsy is doing this” The elf said happily as she handed over Prophet.

“Thanks” Harry murmured, carefully dragging himself up onto the mound of pillows behind him, taking the paper he was mildly surprised to see that it was a an Emergency edition, though the headline was what really got him. Frowning he scanned the article, the edges of the news paper curling and tearing as his hands gripped tighter and tighter. When the hell was everyone going to leave him and his family alone? He groaned, rubbing his stomach lightly before tossing the Prophet down on the bed. He had no doubt Draco and the others had already seen this, but were probably attempting to keep it from him. He knew Draco was really worried about his health, the Healers at Mungos had said any unnecessary stress could cause him and the babies harm, and Draco was taking the terms ‘unnecessary stress’ to mean anything stressful whatsoever. Harry smiled lightly, as much as he knew he should be annoyed at the attempt to keep things from him, he knew it was Draco’s way of trying to protect him and he’d never fault him for that.

The washroom door finally opened some moments later and Draco emerged, a puff of steam announcing his presence. The blonde strutted into the room, a towel wrapped around his slim hips, sliding tantalizingly low as he made his way towards the bed.

“Morning love” Harry said, smirking at the sight, his green eyes roving unabashedly over his husband’s god-like body. He felt a surge of smug glee as he literally checked Draco out, he was the only one who ever got to see this, and he felt extremely proud of that. He knew it was petty, but after the amount of stuff he and Dray put up with in order to date and finally get married he felt he was allowed a little gloating.

“What’s that?” Draco asked, eyes riveted to the copy of the Prophet.

“Emergency edition of the Prophet” Harry replied nonchalantly, “Mipsy gave it to me. Interesting front page” He added, watching his husband pale considerably before taking a deep breath and eyeing Harry critically before he spoke.

“You’re not mad?” Draco asked, his voice hesitant, unsure of how Harry would react at the idea that he was keeping things from him.

“No love, I’m not mad” Harry murmured softly, “I understand why you feel the need to protect me” He explained, “But only while I’m pregnant” He added quickly. “I know you took the Healer’s orders very seriously and I’m grateful for that, but I don’t want you to continue to shield me after the twins are born”

“Of course love, Its just...your stress levels” Draco tried to explain while heaving a sigh of relief.

“I know” Harry murmured, smiling reassuringly at the anxious blonde.

They spent the remainder of the day relaxing in bed enjoying one another’s company. Draco helped Harry work on the baby book, cutting and pasting, all by hand at Harry’s assistance. It was rather amusing to watch Draco attempt to deal with glue which stuck to everything as the Blonde quickly learned. It was nice day, instead of dwelling on the drama, the pair pushed it all aside, just enjoying being together and preparing for their children.
