Chapter 3: Dinner with the Parents

Draco sighed, relieved to be at a house that could actually accommodate Harry and his unique needs. Once he and Harry had married his parents had renovated the Manor, making as much of it as possible accessible to his new husband. He pushed Harry up the paved path towards the front door, unlike the bumpy yard of the Weasleys, the path was well maintained and easy for Harry to maneuver.

“Are you feeling alright?” Draco’s soft voice startled Harry out of his daydreaming.

“Hmm? Oh yea love, I’m fine” Harry said, rolling his eyes at his worried husband. “I’ve had worse then a little cold Dray” Harry said gently, though he shivered lightly in the wind as they headed for the door.

Once inside and having given their coats to one of the many house elves that maintained the manner, the couple made their way towards the sitting room. They always met Draco’s parents here before going into the small, more private dining room for supper.

“Harry, Draco how are you?” Narcissa Malfoy asked, rising from her seat near the fire to greet the two boys. She wrapped her son in a hug before bending to do the same with Harry.

“Good Mother” Draco responded, smiling softly at her before sitting down on a comfortable chair next to Harry.

“Where’s Father?” He asked curiously, glancing around the room to see if he had missed the man.

“Oh in his study doing something for the Minister, he’ll be down in a moment” Narcissa responded, waving her hand vaguely in the direction of Lucius’ study.

“And you Harry? How are you?” She asked, smiling at her son-in-law.

“Good, busy with the re-modeling” Harry responded, smiling at the woman. “A bit worn out, but good overall”

“How was your lunch with the Weasleys?” Narcissa asked, remembering that it was Harry’s first visit with them in quite some time.

“Alright, nothing’s changed though” Harry responded, his voice going soft and his expression tinged with sadness.

“Mrs. Weasley still seems to think I’m incapable of functioning without help and Ginny still is convinced I’m going to suddenly become straight and marry her” He said, shifting a bit, his back was aching now, though he didn’t say anything.

“That’s to bad” Narcissa said, arching an eyebrow at Draco as Harry fidgeted, “Sometimes its hard for people to let go though. Mrs. Weasley has always looked after you Harry and her mind I’m sure she thinks you’ll always need that help. And Ginevra, well she’s always been in love with you, or at least in love with the idea of you. They can’t move past that, and it’s to bad because they’ll never get to know the wonderful young man you’ve grown into” She said, reaching out and placing a hand on Harry’s motionless knee. Harry flushed at the compliment, even after years of them, his time with the Dursleys had made it rather difficult for him to accept praise.

“Thank you” Harry said softly, smiling at the woman, his face still flush.

“Mrs. Malfoy ma’am, dinner is being ready soon” A squeaky voice sounded from the corner causing the three adults to turn and look at the house elf.

“We’ll be along shortly” Narcissa said, waving her hand at the elf and watching dispassionately as it disappeared.

“We’ll wait for Lucius then head to the dining room” She said, glancing at the boys with a motherly smile.

“When’s your next game Draco?” She asked suddenly, her blue eyes dancing with hidden amusement.

“Next thursday” Draco responded, “Are you and Father going to come? I’m sure Harry wouldn’t mind some company since we have that entire box in the stadium to ourselves” Harry nodded, “I love watching Dray’s games, but it can get lonely” He admitted, looking hopefully at Narcissa.

“I’ll come along, and I’m sure Lucius will as well” Narcissa said with a smile.

“Lucius will what?” A voice drawled from the doorway. Lucius Malfoy was standing there, looking like an older version of Draco.

“Come to my quidditch game against Italy next thursday” Draco said, “Harry was just saying how lonely he gets in our box all by himself”

“Well then I’m sure your mother and I can make it” Lucius said, grinning at the raven haired young man.

“Finish all your work dear?” Narcissa asked her husband, “Dinner will be ready shortly and I’d like to move to the dining room” She explained.

“Yes yes, work is all done, until Fudge finds something else he can’t do” Lucius said, waving his hand. Cornelius Fudge had survived the war with Voldemort, unlike Rufus Scrimgeour and had been re-elected as Minister for Magic, though he was just as incompetent as ever. In fact, he relied heavily on men like Lucius Malfoy, much to the annoyance of the greater wizarding community whom still assumed that the Malfoys were death eaters, despite Harry’s involvement with them. When Harry and Draco had begun dating people had speculated that the Malfoys were controlling him or had fed him a love potion. Even after they had gotten married the accusations still continued, much to Harry’s annoyance.

Talking softly the foursome made their way into the dining room. The walls were painted a silvery-blue colour and the dominate feature was a large table, though in one corner there were three comfortable plush chairs and a coffee table. Three chairs were already set up at the table and a spot was cleared for Harry’s chair.

“Will you be seeing the Weasleys again?” Lucius asked his son-in-law as the food appeared on the table with a snap.

“Well I’m going to Hogsmead with Fred and George on Sunday to help with the new shop. And I’m sure I’ll see Ron and Hermione around, we do still have dinner with them occasionally” Harry said, carefully spooning some salad onto his plate.

“As for the others I’m not sure. I’m doubting they’ll allow me to cut them out of my life again, Mrs. Weasley especially, but I’m not sure I can handle their treatment of me” Harry admitted.

“Perhaps you just need to see them in a not so private setting? Like a ministry function or a Quidditch game” Lucius suggested.

“Maybe” Harry agreed, “I mean they do mean a lot to me, I’ve always considered the Weasleys to be my family, but I just wish they trusted me to look after myself”

“Mrs. Weasley gave me her ‘card’ in case I needed someone to watch Harry” Draco said, pulling the crumpled paper from his pocket where he had shoved it earlier to show his parents. “She doesn’t believe him capable of taking care of himself. You should have seen her reaction when she realized that Harry was helping with the re-modeling”

“Thats ridiculous, you’re an adult Harry” Narcissa said, spooning some potatoes onto her plate.

“They don’t seem to think that, I don’t even want to tell them about the pool” Harry said, laughing softly.

“How is the pool coming?” Lucius asked curiously, he remembered when his son and Harry had first told him about the idea. Draco had decided to have an indoor pool attached to the house when they had purchased it. The pool was mainly for Harry since water exercise was considered to be the best for people with injuries of Harry’s magnitude. The water allowed for Harry to work out without straining himself as well as afforded him a freedom he didn’t have on land.

“Its finished, you’ll have to come over and see it” Draco said, “It’s rather nice in the winter, swimming while its snowing outside is a surreal experience” He added, smiling at his husband.

“Harry keeps suggesting we have a, what did you call it love? Pool party?” Draco asked, smirking.

“Yea, muggles have them all the time, its like a party but with swimming. It’s rather fun” Harry said shrugging.

“That does sound like fun” Narcissa said, eyes sparkling, “As long as it was a small gathering of good friends I don’t see why you shouldn’t have one”

“See Dray? Even your mom likes the idea” Harry teased, sticking his tongue out at his husband.

“Shush you” Draco growled playfully, though he wasn’t as opposed to the idea as he was acting.

“Thanks again for dinner” Harry said, hugging his mother and father-in-law goodbye as he and Draco prepared to depart for the evening.

“Not a problem Harry, we just wish we could see you two more often” Narcissa said, absentmindedly fixing the scarf that Lucius had lent Harry since it was still rather windy out, around his neck.

“We’ll see you two on Thursday then? Perhaps we could have dinner at yours after and check out that pool?” Lucius suggested, smiling at his son and son-in-law.

“Sounds awesome” Harry said, refraining from clapping his hands together, “I’ll make dinner for everyone” He said, glancing at Draco curiously.

“I’d love to have you over, hopefully the kitchen will be done by then. Perhaps we should invite Severus as well?” He suggested looking at his parents curiously.

“I’ll ask him, he’d like to see you and Harry I’m sure” Lucius said, grinning. Like Fred, Severus had been presumed dead, but had in fact been saved thanks to Madame Pomfrey. Remus Lupin had also survived the war, though his pregnant wife had not and he had been devastated by her death along with the death of his unborn child. Harry had done as much as he could for the man, and Remus was slowly putting the past behind him, and often came to visit Harry and Draco.

“Remus too?” Harry suggested, glancing at Draco curiously, he hadn’t seen his honorary god-father in awhile after all.

“Remus too, perhaps the Weasley twins, they could come to the Quidditch game as well” Draco suggested as Harry nodded happily, “I’ll ask them on Sunday”

“Anyway, we’re off” Draco said, hugging his mother and father before pushing his husband out into the windy fall evening.

“Bye” Harry called as he and Draco made their way to the apparition point.

“Ah home at last” Draco muttered as he set Harry down in his chair, “Tea love?” He asked, smiling at his husband who was yawning like crazy.

“Hmm? No, I think I’ll just go to bed, its been a long day” Harry muttered carefully pulling his coat off as well as the scarf.

“If you’re sure” Draco said, kissing Harry lightly before watching him head off to bed. He wasn’t all that tired and he wanted to give Blaise a call since they hadn’t seen each other i a few days. Blaise had remained Draco’s best friend, even after the war and was married to Daphne Zabini nee Greengrass. He was rather fond of the two of them and they had accepted Harry which some of his old friends had been unable to do. He frowned, still remembering the argument he had had with Theo Nott over his marriage.

-Flash Back-

“I don’t care if you love him Draco. He got my father tossed in bloody Azkaban” Theo raged as he heaved a glass in Draco’s direction. Dodging, Draco frowned and quickly summoned a shield, just in case Theo’s aim improved.

“I know Theo, but that wasn’t Harry’s fault, he didn’t control who was sent to jail” Draco said, trying to placate his angry friend.

“You’ve always been obsessed with him Draco, now you’re just taking that obsession to a new level. You don’t care about him just the idea of him. Are you really willing to lose all your friends over your fucking obsession?” Theo snapped, glaring at Draco with fury filled eyes.

“Theo I love Harry, and I’ve already spoken to Pansy, Blaise and Daphne, they accept my decision” Draco said, trying to control his anger.

“Fuck you Malfoy, you would choose that sodding bastard over us” Theo raged, clearly not even listening to the blonde in front of him.

Draco’s temper rose like a snake ready to strike. “Sod of Nott, I came here because you are-were my friend and I wanted to make sure you were okay with this. Clearly you’re not, but I’m not going to give up what I have with someone I love for your friendship” Draco hissed. Theo recoiled as if stung, “Watch your back Dra-Malfoy, I’ll make your life a living hell and your husband’s too”

“You leave my husband alone Nott if you know what’s good for you” Draco hissed, clenching his wand tightly.

“You don’t scare me Malfoy” Theo laughed manically before turning and apperating away.

“Damn..” Draco murmured, rubbing a hand over his face as he tried to compose himself. Theo had always been quick to anger, and once pissed off he was single minded until everyone around him had suffered.

-End Flash Back-

It had been three years since his fight with Theo and he hadn’t seen or heard from him since. He wasn’t sure if Theo had given up his goal of ruining his life or if he was just biding his time, either way it still worried him. He knew that the others hadn’t heard from him either, though Pansy had tried contacting him before.

Sighing, Draco turned towards the floo trying to focus on more pleasant memories for the time being.

Tossing a handful of green floo powder into the fire place he called out ‘Zabini Manor’ in a clear voice and waited for his friend to acknowledge.
