Chapter 21
Draco waited until Harry's breathing evened out before he slipped out of bed, but not before kissing the other softly on the forehead. He had his way to the study. He thought better at a desk.
"Winky," Draco called. "Yes, Master Draco sir?" He thought a moment. "A glass of water; with a pitcher as well."
"Yes, Sir."
She popped away and back a minute later.
Draco nodded his thanks, "Oh, could you check up on Harry while I work and tell me when he wakes up?"
He was half way through when he thought about the family tapestry. He didn't want to wait too long and have it discovered. "Dobby," he called out.
Dobby popped in, his eyes wide with worry, "Yes old Master Draco?" he was worried now that they were alone without Master Harry potter as a buffer between them. He still felt guilty about spying on his former master despite not being servant to the Malfoy Family any longer.
Draco took in the elf's look and held back a sigh, a bit grateful that this wasn't awkward just for him either. "Dobby, I need you to...do Harry and I a favour," he started. "We need you to tell us if anyone mentions coming for Harry."
Dobby blinked at him, "Old Master wants me to do you and Master Harry Potter a favour? Someone coming for Master Harry Potter? Who would..." his face fell and he twitched, "Bad wizards...Dark Wizards. People like Mistress Bella." he gasped and started hitting his head against the desk.
"Dobby! Dobby stop. Stop," Draco held the elf back from harming himself. "That won't help Harry if you do that to your head." He wondered was this the side effect of his wrong doing towards the house elf. More then likely it was.
"Could you bring Kreacher to me?" Draco asked, hoping something to do would stop Dobby from hurting himself for the moment.
Dobby stopped and rubs his head. He was surprised that Master Draco stopped him from punishing himself. He looked up at Draco in worship. Harry had stopped him from punishing himself. "I'll get Kreacher. Kreacher be a rude, lazy and irresponsible elf." he popped away to find the Black house elf.
Draco let out the breath he didn't know he was holding and took a drink of his water. His eyes landed on his family crest again as he waited for Dobby to return.
Dobby returned popping in holding Kreacher by the ear. "Master Draco be wanting Kreacher."
Kreacher continued to pummel Dobby until his ear was released. He spotted Draco and bowed, "Master Draco be wanting Kreacher? How might Kreacher be of service to young Lord Malfoy?" his ear obviously was throbbing but he didn't act as if it bothered him.
"Kreacher," Draco said trying not to shake his head at them. "I need you assistance in a matter," he stated. "The people at Grimmauld will start talking about me and Harry. I need you to report to me if any start to do so. If they mention about finding where I am, or Harry."
Kreacher peered at Draco with wide eyes, "Lord Malfoy be mated to Lord Potter-Black? Oh...we be returning to right and proper ways?" he smirked, "Kreacher be very happy to pass on information to Lord Malfoy. Is it still alright to tell Miss Cissy things? Miss Cissy has been kind to Kreacher."
Dobby folded his arms glaring at Kreacher; he did not like the old elf. "Missy Cissy tell Miss Bella and then Master Harry Potter is being in danger. Kreacher is bad elf. Kreacher should not be putting his master in danger."
"I trust you to do the right thing," Draco paused. "I will be telling my mother myself so you don't have to say anything. When you do go back to the Manor, I need you to tell me when she is by herself or if its just her and my aunt. Don't tell them anything about me."
Kreacher shrugged, "Kreacher will do so. Kreacher won't tell Miss Cissy anything. It be Master Draco's right. Kreacher tell if,"
Dobby interrupted, "Dobby be a Malfoy elf! Dobby tell if Mistress be alone. Dobby tell if Bella gone or they be there together. Bella scary but Dobby be good elf and spy on the bad wizards."
Kreacher glared, "Dobby is a free elf. Kreacher be a good elf. Kreacher follow old ways. Kreacher never want to be free."
"Okay. Okay," Draco held up his hand to get the two to stop bickering. "You two can return to what you were doing; and thank you both."
Dobby bowed, "Dobby hide family tree so no one be discovering Master Draco's secret. Dobby good elf." he glared at Kreacher before disappearing with a pop.
Kreacher sniffed but bowed, "Kreacher gladly spying on the squatters. Will Lord Malfoy be turning them out?"
"Soon, Kreacher," Draco smirked, "Very soon."
Kreacher bowed, "Kreacher be proud to serve Master Malfoy. Kreacher be going to follow his orders." he left with a pop still bowing.
Draco turns back to his desk and sets to work out the documents. It did feel weird to be doing so much at his age but he was an adult. Soon he was going to have another addiction to his family. Thinking about Iris made him smile. It was up to him to keep her and Harry safe and he'll do anything to make sure they are.
XoooooX
Harry woke from his nap and cast a tempus charm, discovering to his delight that it was also lunchtime at Hogwarts he summoned Winky and asked her to bring Ron and Hermione there.
He showered and dressed in some of his delightful clothes from Draco before making his way to the dining room. Draco must be doing something somewhere in their home but it would be best to have this discussion without him.
He'd barely made it to the dining room when Winky popped in.
Hermione looked worried and Ron sullen.
"Oh Harry! I was so worried. Dumbledore told us at breakfast that you were missing. I thought something might have happened. Someone removed your tracking charm."
Harry frowned, "That meddling old coot! He better leave mum alone."
Hermione's brow furrowed, "Mum?"
Harry grinned shyly, "I told Mrs. Weasley about the baby. She's so excited! Mum promised us socks, blankets, jumpers, scratch mitts, hats and just about anything one can knit for babies. She's even accepted Draco!"
Ron was dumbfounded, "Mum? That's my mum! What right do you have to her? You can't call her mum if you don't bond to Ginny!"
Harry glared, "Your mum told me I could call her mum. That's a title she extended to me the courtesy of calling her. She is excited about my daughter being her first grandchild, although it won't be really, " more referring to Bill's expected child rather than his not so close relationship. "I'm a bit happy about that. Being adopted as I am, mine should be second."
"What about school? How did you get out? Where are we?" Hermione asked concerned.
Harry gestured at the table that was now filled with luncheon, "Shall we eat first?"
Ron glared, "Where are we?"
"You're not in Hogwarts anymore." Harry said dryly.
"Don't mess with me Harry. I want a straight answer. You've not given me one yet!"
"Where I am I can't tell you. I'm safe. I'm happy. I won't go back to Hogwarts as long as that conniving old coot is there."
"Harry that is really too bad of you!" Hermione reprimanded him sharply.
Harry snorted, "I've got no love for the headmaster. I hold him partially responsible for Sirius's death. He is also liable for the suffering under Umbridge. He wants me to allow him- HIM! He's not even a Healer! What right does he have to tell me that I ought to decide that my daughter doesn't have a right to live! What right does he have to decide that? He's not GOD! I don't believe in God! I never have. I don't buy his kindly grandfather act any longer. He has no right to decide who I spend my life with. He has no right tell me I don't deserve to be loved. He has no right to demand that I return to the Dursleys! They'd kill me if they knew I was pregnant! I wouldn't trust those people with a dog much less my daughter."
"Harry I know they aren't kind to you but why such venom? Such hatred?" Hermione said trying to calm him.
"Don't mother me Hermione. I'm not in the mood. If I find out you've told Dumbledore one thing about me I'll…refuse to name you godmother!" he knew that would hurt her the most and he was too upset to care.
"Dumbledore wants you to have an abortion? Good! That will cut Malfoy out of your life. He'd never agree to an abortion. Now if we could just prove he assaulted you…" Ron mused.
Harry held his wand to Ron's throat, "I'll have you know Ronald Bilius Weasley that I begged for it. I begged for it every time and I still do. Draco is the sire of my child and I took him to bed willingly. You remember that dream you had? The one about Malfoy fucking me?"
Ron turned white and looked ill.
Harry sneered, "It wasn't a dream. I gave Draco my invisibility cloak. He followed you into the Tower and joined me in bed. You're lucky we did it with a silencing charm or I'd have worked the entire Tower with my screams. 'Harder Draco! Fuck me Draco! Faster' More! Harder!' we were purposely baiting you in Potions."
"Harry!" Hermione exclaimed in shock.
"It was a test. Actually it was a punishment. Ron spied on us making love so I messed with his head."
"Harry that was a rotten thing to do! Ron's your friend!"
Harry shrugged, "Like he wouldn't have tried to punish me somehow if I'd spied on you two in bed. Friend or not I've got no desire to see you two play hide the salami."
"HARRY!" Hermione yelped turning red.
Ron glared, "Don't you put a fine witch like Hermione up against that nasty Malfoy! She's worth ten of him!"
"Yes but at least he doesn't help people cheat! He doesn't do anyone's homework for them. He expects them to do their own Ron."
"Shows what kind of friend he is, letting his friends fail."
"Rather I think it shows what kind of man he is: that he's too honourable to cheat." Harry retorted, "For your information due to the way you're acting I won't be asking you to be a godfather to my daughter either. I couldn't choose someone who so clearly hated their dad!"
"Some mate you are sleeping with the enemy. You swore blind he was a Death Eater. What spell did he cast on you?"
"I stopped him from casting an Unforgivable that night in the bathroom. He never finished the incantation because I cast a nonverbal spell that sliced his cheek and chest. If anything I'm the violent one. I offered myself to him. Draco is not a Death Eater."
"Did the great and mighty Potter make a mistake?"
"No, I turned the Dark Mark into something else. He's no longer a Death Eater. He's free. We're legally adults in the eyes of the Wizarding world, we were declared emancipated by the Ministry and Gringotts. Draco and I have complete control of our finances." Harry said sharply.
"So this is one of your properties?" Hermione asked.
Harry sniffed, "I couldn't tell you. It's too dangerous. I can't have it getting back to Dumbledore."
"You don't trust us/?" Hermione gasped.
Harry shrugged, "At this point I can't afford to trust anyone. Between Dumbledore, Voldemort and Bellatrix I've got enough to worry about."
Ron was a bit confused obviously.
Hermione nodded, "A completely Loyal Death Eater with a nephew who is dating the Chosen One who is also carrying his child. I can see what the problem would be."
"I think you're a fool Harry!" Ron glared, "Taken up with Malfoy. As if you've not got enough problems. You really think you'll be safe wherever this is? Someone's going to find out and tell."
Harry snapped, "Not if you keep your big mouth shut! I told you because as your best friend you should know. I don't want you worrying about me. I'll send you messages and you can send them back at the same time. However I will not tell you where I am hiding. Not until the threat is over."
Hermione clapped a hand over Ron's mouth. "I understand. I don't have to like it but I understand. I still don't see why Dumbledore would want to kill your baby. The only lies you've told me are lies of omission so I'll believe you about Dumbledore. Whether or not I like your boyfriend or not doesn't matter. We've been friends far too long to let Malfoy come between us. I'd like to be your daughters godmother but only if you feel you can trust me. I've gotten better at knitting. Mrs. Weasley helped me over the summer so I'll make you some things too.:
Ron shoved her off him, "I can't understand why you're supporting this flight from reality. He can't be with Malfoy!"
"I am and I will. I want you two to be happy for me. I'm in love and I'm having a baby. Can't you be happy for me on principal? I'm not asking you to be his new best friend. I'm just asking you to give him a chance damn it. Oh go sod off! Winky get him out of here. Thanks 'Mione!"
Harry had a headache and Winky handed him a potion before she left.
That's the last time he invited Ron right after a nap.
Harry lay down his head on his arms. Merlin, Ron was tiring when he was stubborn.
Draco pushed the door open. "Well, that was informative," he said sitting down next to Harry. He ran his fingers threw his love's hair, "headache?"
Harry shivered with pleasure under Draco's touch. "Ron can be trying. Especially when he's being stubborn. I want him to at least try to deal with our relationship. At least 'Mione is trying..."
"He'll come around...after he lets go of the fact that you won't be marrying his sister," Draco shook his head. "He's as stubborn as the rest of our kind."
Harry was a bit surprised that Draco was putting himself on the same level as Ron. "Stubborn as our kind? What do you mean by that?" he sat up straighter, rubbing his temples. The potion seemed to be working quickly. Professor Snape was an excellent brewer...
"Yes, our kind. What wizard or witch do you know that's not a little stubborn when it comes to they think is right." Draco let his hand trail down Harry's neck and arm until he told hold of the other's hand. "Look at us. We're stubborn enough to fight for this relationship; and there is no way I'd give you or Iris up."
Harry snickered, "I thought you were referring to purebloods being stubborn. Yes we are stubborn..." He loved it when Draco was affectionate "I would fight to be together. I'm not giving you or Iris up. Not even for my friends."
Draco leaned forward and kissed Harry. "I heard," he smiled. "You seem to enjoy calling a certain headmaster a...what was it, oh 'that old coot?"
Harry snickered, "I would have called him something more appropriate but Hermione would have slapped me. I didn't want her to blame my behaviour on you."
Draco chuckled, "Yeah, there's already enough they blame on me...Are you going to lay back down?"
Harry shook his head, "My headache is going away. I thought after lunch I'd see if there is anything interesting in the library. What did you do all morning while I was napping?" his stomach growled. He felt bad for sending his friends away without lunch but he might have really lost his temper. He worried Iris might have been hurt if that had happened.
Draco ate a carrot out of the closest salad bowl. "Sorting out our legal paper work. I got most of it done the other day, so I only have a little left to put away and sign off on."
Harry filled his plate like a true Weasley and ate with less then refined manners.
Harry ate until he was comfortably full. He kissed Draco on the cheek; "I'll see you at dinner. I'll be in library if you finish before them. If I get tired I'll just curl up in front of the fire and take a nap. I'm sure Winky would wake me up for dinner."
Draco chuckled and wiped his hands on his napkin pushing his now empty plate away. "Alright then, I'll be in the study if you need me."
Harry grinned, "Don't work too hard." he teased before scampering off.
"Don't worry I won't," Draco smiled and watched Harry go before going to the study. He should have them all finish right before dinner and he could check them off of his to-do list.
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
