Malfoy Manor
Harry was too tired to meet with his head of house and the school nurse when they came back to Hogwarts, so Severus send a short message to Minerva asking to meet them the next day after breakfast. Although Sev told him that the two witches already confirmed that they would join the DA, Harry was nervous. He just didn't want the pitiful looks that he was sure he would receive but he was enormously relieved when they left and hadn't treated him differently than before. As he reflected on the meeting, he noticed that's the only indication that the two knew where the long hugs they gave him when they came in. The rest of the day Harry and his friends spend training, joking around, laughing and when it neared evening, they all sat down together for supper. When they finished eating Harry asked Ron, Hermione and Draco to join him for a quick chat. The others looked at him curiously but didn't say anything. The four of them sat down in Harry's bedroom.
“Guys I wanted to ask you something. I had this idea and I really like it but since it concerns all of you, I didn't just want to go ahead and do it but ask you first what you think. When I was young, I always imagined my dream house. I always wanted to build my own house so I can incorporate all that I wish I need for and what I wish for is for my family to be close. I was thinking about buying a huge piece of land somewhere by the ocean where I can live once the war is over. My wish would be to build not one but four houses. Would you be interested in moving there with me?” His friends looked at him.
“Of course, Harry, I have to ask Victor but I'm sure he would love that.” Hermione set excitedly.
“I would like that very much too, Harry.” Ron said. Harry looked at Draco who watched him with a puzzled expression on his face.
“Why would you want me to move in next to you?” he asked.
“Because Draco, you are my brother now, well… kind of, did you already forget that? Also, you’re in love with Ginny. I want to surprise her though so please don't tell her.” Draco grinned.
“Then count me in. Can we have a word in what we want our house to look like?”
“Of course, you will be living there but I will ask you not to build Malfoy Manor 2. I want to build in an idyllic place and a house like yours would kind of destroy the big picture.” Draco laughed.
“Believe it or not, I never liked the house I grew up in. It's all my father's taste and he refused to change anything for me or mother.”
“Did you hear from her?”
“Not yet, I just hope that father didn't intercept the letter. I'm quite afraid for her safety should he find out. You know the first thing he would do is telling you know who and he would kill her without a second thought.”
“I know, I'm sorry, I can't imagine how you feel. Let's just hope that everything will be fine.” The group went back to the others who were still sitting in the kitchen talking.
“Hermione you said Victor is coming this week. When will you be able to meet with him?”
“Oh, didn't I tell you already? I asked Dumbledore permission so that Victor can stay at Hogwarts while he's here. He said it would be fine since I told him my parents are not home, so… you all will get to see him and maybe we could talk to him together Harry?”
“Of course, if you want me to be there, I´ll be there. How many portkeys were you able to make yet?”
“I have one for all the people who are in the DA now, minus Fred and George but I will make more tomorrow so they will be ready when we meet them on Sunday.” They talked for a few more minutes before Harry announced he was tired and would be going to bed. They said their good nights and Neville, Luna and Draco went back to their houses. Harry went into his bedroom and was surprised when Severus joined him a few minutes later.
“I thought you have to be in your office in case one of you Slytherins comes looking for you.”
“I put up a detection charm so if anyone comes near my office I will be alerted.” Harry nodded and cuddled into the older man's arms.
“Good, I like having you here.” Severus didn't answer, he only pressed his nose in his hair and pulled him closer. After a minute or so Harry noticed that Sev was shaking slightly.
“Severus what's wrong?” He asked and looked up at the man he loved. To his horror he saw tears running down his face. He sat up a bit so you could look at his lover who shook his head.
“Tell me, please?”
“It's nothing serious. It's just speaking it all out loud today, what you went through and that you had no one to talk to…” He shook his head again.
“I'm so sorry, you shouldn't be the one consoling me. It should be the other way around.”
“Look at me, Severus. There is nothing to apologize for. To be honest I'm just glad that I have you now and that you care. Everything else doesn't matter anymore as long as I have to never see my aunt and uncle again.”
“You're so strong you have no idea.” Harry wiped away Sev´s tears.
“No, I'm really not. I'm so scared Severus. Fred and George said something today, about this being the real deal and they´re right. What we do now, every little detail will have an impact on our future. We must be so careful because the slightest security breach can ruin everything. Where the dark Lord to find out about us, about the DA and everything he wouldn't hesitate to launch an attack and we are not ready to face him yet. Not with Dumbledore still around where we can't be sure that he won't stab us in the back while we are focused on the threat before us.”
“That you´re scared doesn't mean that you aren't strong my love, just shows you that you care and that you know what you could lose.”
“I can't say that it's the first time in my life that I'm scared of losing something since I'm always scared for Ron and Hermione but now with you… I'm not scared, I'm terrified. I can't lose you, I just can´t.”
“I know Harry, now that I have you, I will fight to my death to keep you by my site.”
“It's weird, isn't it? It's only been a few weeks, but everything changed after the first conversation we had. When I left your office that night, the way you looked at me just before I left, I felt something change inside me. I never in a million years would have thought that we would end up together. There was so much hate and mistrust between us, I was shocked to see that after that evening all of it just vanished.”
“Did you really? Hate me I mean?”
“I honestly don't know. I thought for years that I do because you were so mean to me from the start. I just thought it was unfair to be treated like trash when the person who does so didn't even bother to get to know me but just decided I was this or that. But with everything I learned in the years, your relationship with my father, with Sirius and stuff I kind of get it, why you treated me like you did, on the other hand I do not, because you were holding on to so much hate focused on my dad that you forgot that I never even met him. That I had no idea what he was like, what he did to you, anything really and I think that made me hate you a little bit. But don't really… I think, and now it doesn't matter anymore because whatever feeling it was turned into something completely different.”
“I'm sorry, I know I've been an asshole.”
“It's alright it doesn't matter anymore, I'm just happy that you see me now for who I really am.”
“I don't just see you for who you really are, I love you for who you are, you're so kind and you have such a big heart.”
“Let´s go to sleep Sev, this will be a long week for all of us.” Severus pulled him in for a deep kiss before they settled into a comfortable position and went to sleep.
The next week went by so fast that Harry honestly had no idea where it went. Monday was a relatively quiet day where he was able to focus all his energy on homework and studying ahead but on Tuesday Victor Krum arrived at Hogwarts. Dumbledore made an announcement telling the student population that the Durmstrang would be staying for the week. Harry welcomed him with a handshake and a warm smile and was happy to see how excited his best friend was to see her boyfriend. After classes Harry, Ron and the happy couple went to the quidditch pitch to fly around a bit. Although Victor had seen Harry fly at the Triwizard tournament he was really impressed with his skills. They had a friendly game, seeker against seeker and Harry was proud that from the 10 times they let the snitch lose he was able to catch it four times. He thought it was a great victory since Viktor Krum was the best seeker in the world and Harry managed to beat him four times.
He was glad that the Bulgarian didn't need much convincing at all. Hermione told him everything in great detail and Harry also told him a thing or two. Victor signed the contract without hesitation but stated clearly that his career is very important to him and that he didn't plan on giving it up but would do everything Harry asked in his free time. Harry was really happy with the outcome and told him that he would appreciate it when he would reach out to the other Durmstrang´s that were at Hogwarts three years ago and Krum promised to write a letter to his best friend the next day asking to meet him. He was convinced that it would be easier for his friend to reach out to the others since he had a teaching position at the Durmstrang. Harry was thrilled. Yes, everything was going as planned.
Also on Tuesday, Draco got word from his mother that she would like nothing more than to get away from Lucius, so they spend the evening coming up with a plan to get Narcissa out. The next day, Draco went home to visit with his parents. Harry was sure that for Draco not to be considered a traitor he would have to be present when Harry came to abduct his mother from their home. Draco, Lucius and his wife we're in the living room sitting around the fire when Harry port keyed to Malfoy Manor. He arrived in the hallway and quickly vanished under his invisibility cloak. He dropped a vase to lure out Lucius and Draco and quickly made his way into the living room once the two men ran down the hall to see who was in the house. Narcissa who was told by Draco that someone would come to get her out waited in the living room. Harry ran over to her.
“Mrs. Malfoy it's Harry Potter. I'm here to take you with me. We don't have time for questions so please hold out your hand so I can get us out of here.” The woman obliged and Harry grabbed her hand and apparated to headquarters.
When they arrived, he pulled off his cloak and looked at the woman. He motioned for her to follow him and as soon as they entered the wards he sighed in relief.
Back at the Manor Draco came back into the living room to look for his mother. he screamed for his dad to come quickly and when Lucius saw that his wife was gone, he screamed in fury.
“What happened father?” Draco asked.
“She was here a minute ago, what happened? Do you think someone took her? Where the hell is she?” Lucius looked at him.
“I don't know son, but I will find her I promise. It would be best for you to get back to school. I will flu you tonight so be in the Slytherin common room after dinner. I hope I can tell you more than.” Draco nodded and went through the flu to Hogwarts. As soon as he arrived, he went into the bathroom and in one of the stalls, got out his portkey and was pulled away to headquarters.
Draco hurried to his mother as soon as he set foot in the house and gave her a big hug.
“Mother, I'm so glad you are fine. I am sorry that I couldn't tell you more in the letter I wrote. You must be wondering why Harry help me.” He went on and told his mother everything that happened since he approached Snape and asked him for help. When he was finished Harry then preceded to tell her about the DA and the purpose of the organization.
“That is all very interesting Mr. Potter, I am very proud of my son that he decided that he doesn't want the life his father wants to force him in and that he was able to find someone that despite your previous disagreements was kind enough to help him. Please don't take this the wrong way, I would very much like to join your cause, but for now I just want a quiet life. Don't you worry, when the time comes, I will stand beside you and my son but for the time being I would like to stay out of the war entirely. Give me a few weeks to calm down and I will tell Draco when I'm ready to make the commitment that is necessary to join you and your friends.”
“Of course, Madam, know that should you decide you want to stay out of it for good, it will not be detrimental to my decision to help you. I will not force anyone to do things they are not comfortable with. For now, all I need from you is an unbreakable vow that you will not speak to anyone about anything that you learned today and of course that I was the one getting you away from your husband. For the time being you can stay here, should you indeed decide not to join the DA I will send you to Ireland. I have a property there, that will in the war to come, do as home for all these who decide not to fight. I need someone to keep an eye on the people I sent there, someone who regularly sends me letters to inform me what is needed over there when the others arrive.”
“I'm afraid you will have to find someone else for that job, I assure you that I will join the fight. There are a few people that should hope that they never see me again. My sister for one, she killed the last Black, my cousin, your godfather. He always tried to help me with Lucius. When the abuse became too bad, he tried to get me away but was caught and he had no other way than to disappear and that was before the dark Lord failed the first time. Since then, I was pretty much on my own because Sirius was in Azkaban and there was no one left except Draco and me. I loved him very much, he always knew that I didn't want to live the life Lucius gave me. Hhe will pay for taking him away from me and you.”
“I hope you get your revenge, but also know that one other person has the right off retaliation. Your sister took away his parents and even so they're not dead I bet in Neville´s mind he would wish they were. If we capture Bellatrix in battle, we will make her a war prisoner so that we can decide together what to do with that bitch.”
“Of course, the poor boy, a fate like that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy.”
“Oh, I don't know, I think snake face wpuld deserve it. He took so many lives, mothers, fathers, children… Every person he killed left behind a family that will never forget what that bastard did to them. I for one wish that when I remove him from this earth he will burn in hell for the rest of eternity.”
“Understandable, you lost more than most. Before the dark Lord targeted your parents you had a big family. Grandparents, cousins, he killed them all. He thought when he goes after you, there better be not one Potter left to revenge you, so he took them all out.”
“I never knew, but my parents, Cedric Diggory and Sirius are enough for me. I guess in one way I'm lucky that I was so young and don't remember any of these people otherwise I may would have lost my mind long ago. Well, enough of this, I will send a house elf here, I'm pretty sure you know him. I stole him from you a few years ago. I will tell him to do as you say as long as you understand that all the house elves on my service a treated with respect and dignity.”
“Of course, your house, your rules.”
“Good, Dobby!” Harry called out and the elf appeared by his side.
“Harry Potter Sir, what can Dobby do for you.”
“Dobby, for the time being I want you to stay at this house with Mrs. Malfoy. I want you to do what she says unless I call you then I need you to come right away. Don't be scared, she will be very nice to you.” Dobby looked at the woman and back to his Harry.
“I will do as Harry Potter says.”
“You're a very good friend Dobby, thank you. Please get to Diagon alley and purchase a few clothes for Mrs. Malfoy. She hadn't had the time to pack her stuff. Mrs. Malfoy, please tell Dobby if you need anything else, Draco and I should really get back to school.”
“I will, thank you Mr. Potter.”
“Not a problem and please call me Harry.” The witch nodded and smiled. they set their goodbyes and were on their way.
On Wednesday Harry made a quick visit to the headmaster's office.
“Hello professor, I was wondering if I could ask a favor of you on Saturday. You asked me a while ago what I will do when school is over. I thought about it. and I want to build a house. Not when I'm done with school but now so that I have a place to go to when I finish at Hogwarts. The only problem is I have no idea how to start. Who do I approach? I guess I need a contractor, but I have no idea how this stuff works in the wizarding world. Could you help me? I would like to speak with someone this weekend on Saturday, but I don't know anyone, and I think you might do?”
“But of course, my dear boy, that is a lovely idea. Do you have any idea where you want to build?”
“Not yet, the only thing I know is that I want it near the ocean. I want a lot of free space around the house and a beautiful view so I can watch the sun set every day. I hope that I live long enough so that I can actually move in, but even if I don't, at least I have a very nice gift for Ron and Hermione so that they always remember me.”
“It could be that you have to talk to a few different people. You really should find a good fit. Building a house can be very stressful and when you're dealing with someone who is impatient, or someone who doesn't understand your vision it can get really frustrating.”
“Do you know someone professor?”
“Not in person no, but it's only Wednesday I will find a few people we can talk to. Just come to my office, let's say at… ten and we can go.”
“Thank you so much headmaster.” Harry said and left.
On Wednesday Harry got a letter from Fred and George. They already succeeded in recruiting Bill and Fleur and we're now talking to Charlie. He sent back a letter telling the twins to pass along the message that Bill and Fleur should meet him the next day in Hogsmeade. They met in the three broomsticks end after having a drink went for a walk so that Harry could fill them in on the rest. They signed up for DA and Harry told Fleur to reach out to her friends from Beauxbaton to try and recruit as many schoolmates as possible.
He was glad when on Friday evening he finally was able to spend a little time with Severus. He was busy since the student teacher program had just started and he and Draco spend a lot of time in the week prepping the next lessons in advance. He also spent a lot of time talking to the twins about a few products that they were working on. Add to that all the extra training with Neville, Luna and Ginny and time together became little. Although they slept in each other's arms every night, Harry missed the older men. They talked for hours and kissed and cuddled before they went to sleep. Tomorrow would be a long day, and Harry was afraid, that after his friends were done with Dumbledore’s office, they would have a disturbingly clearer picture of why Albus Dumbledore did the things that he did. On some level, Harry didn't want to know, and he was just glad that he didn't stand alone anymore.
