Chapter 2: Tough Love and Realizations
The crowd tried to save the house but it was in vain. The children were taken to Malfoy Manor with the older Malfoys while Harry, Draco and the Weasley clan went through the wreckage. Harry walked through the wreckage, trying to see what was salvageable from what was left. He found his old trunk and sighed in relief as he saw that the albums he put in there, as well as other mementoes were saved. Unfortunately, Harry's wand was gone, nothing was spared. Not even the core. Draco wrapped his arms around Harry and pulled him close.
"We'll get you another one." He whispered comfortingly. Harry leaned into the blond and shed silent tears. Luckily he had his and the kids essential things in the trunk as well.
"What did I do to deserve this?" He asked brokenly. Draco's heart clenched. He just hugged Harry tightly and rubbed his arms.
"Ready to go?"
"Draco," Harry whispered, daring to use the blond's given name. "Do you think you can watch the children for a spell until I get a new home?"
"Nonsense, Love, we have more than enough room at Malfoy Manor. When you're ready to leave, we will both return there. You and the children are more than welcome. My home is open to you all. You can stay as long as you'd like." Harry smiled brightly and with renewed vigor, he gathered what he could before leaving the charred ruins. It reminded him too much of Godric's Hollow, first my birth home, now my married home. Harry sighed. Draco was patient. Harry had no luck thus far and Draco was more than than determined to change the bad streak.
"Ok," Harry sighed sadly, pocketing his trunk and the children's trunk. The children were quite young, James being seven, Albus being six and Lily was four. They were babies and these recent events and what he learned from Maple enraged and angered Draco. He felt fierce protectiveness and possessiveness toward the children and his beloved.
Draco smiled comfortingly at the ravenette and held out a hand, in which Harry accepted, putting his smaller hand into the larger one of the blond. Draco smiled again and left the dreadful place, appearing at the gate of the the Manor.
When they entered the living room, Lucius was waiting for them. Before Draco could ask Lucius held up a hand.
"Sit down Mr. Potter." Lucius commanded firmly. Harry didn't disobey and Draco was ready to tell his father off but Lucius glared.
"They say love is blind Mr. Potter, but I had no idea you could be so foolish." He dismissed the glare his son was giving him and continued. "What possessed you to stay in such a hellish marriage?" Harry flinched at the older man's tone but steeled himself to answer.
"I won't excuse it, I should've left. I put myself and my children at risk instead of waking up and thinking. I thought I could endure it as I had in school but I can't."
"No you can't but this can not just be avoided Mr. Potter. In my eyes you're both at fault....Draco let me finish....you knew it was upsetting your children and yet, what have you done to strengthen yourself or your family? I know of your past Mr. Potter and I'm not going to treat you like spun glass. I have never treated you with kid gloves and neither should you Draco, despite your feelings for him. You need help Mr. Potter but the only one who can do that, is you. We will help you and the children all we can but hear me, we will NOT baby you. I've said my peace, now I'll check on my wife and the children." With that the Malfoy patriarch left the younger men alone. Draco sat down next to Harry and held his hands.
"Love, my father's timing sucks but he's right. Honestly, its part of what attracted me to you. You've always been feisty, bold and wouldn't take any crap from anyone. You had cunning, and a thirst to prove yourself as well as a great mind. Harry, listen to me, look at me." At this, Draco cupped Harry's face between his hands in a gentle, yet firm grip. "I know that I haven't been nice at all, hell I was a royal asshole..." At that he heard Harry snicker despite himself and Draco blushed when he replayed his word in his head. "Um, what I'm trying to say...."
"Draco," Harry cut in gently, patting the blonde's hand. "I know that you're trying to spare me a bit and I'll agree, your father's timing does suck BIG TIME but you and he are both right. I'm not excusing my behavior, I have done myself and my children a grave injustice. I was blind to Ginny's nature, but I had my suspicions. I chalked it up to paranoia and remnants of the war and the diary. I should've left long ago but I was blind and selfish. I've always wanted to have a family and live a normal life. I didn't expect this. Maybe I am a freak..."
"Not at all, the war messed us all up. To this day even I get nightmares of the war, of Voldemort staying in my home as if he owned it. We all have our scars Harry love, but it is how we cope with it that could make or break you. Don't let it break you. I know that it will be difficult, but remember, you are not alone. I promise." Draco hugged him close and kissed him on the forehead. "Whatever you choose, you'll always have me and the children, as well as our families. Call Maple once you've decided and we'll decide the next course, together." With that the younger blond left Harry alone with his thoughts.
"Well, who's first?" She asked in a bored tone. "I do have a life."
"How dare you take such a tone with what you've done?" Arthur snapped. "How could you do that to Harry and the children? Ginerva, they almost died!"
"So what's your point Pops?" She asked, examining her nails. The clan gasped and swore. Charlie stepped up and after taking a deep breath, swung hard and sent her to the ground with an open palmed slap. She was bewildered for a moment. She didn't think Charlie had it in him,
"Wow, that actually hurt." She said rubbing her cheeks. "I didn't think you had it in you Charles." She said.
"Don't speak to me you whoring, gold digging bitch." Charlie said icily. "As far as I'm concerned you are dead to me. Be thankful I don't kill you where you stand." He loved Harry and the children and although he had a few words in mind for Harry when he saw him again, he would stick by him. His sister crossed the last line and Charlie had no problem turning his back to her.
George was saddened and angry. Almost losing Harry and the children was like losing Fred all over again and he wasn't willing to go through that again. He was silently thankful to the Malfoys, Draco especially, for his quick thinking and his devotion to Harry and the children. He was shocked to admit that the young Lord was a better choice for his brother in all but blood and the children. He didn't know the blond personally but he remembered how he and his twin always noticed the blond following or watching Harry in school or wherever he went. Now he knew why.
"Ginny," He began slowly and dangerously. "You are to leave Harry and the children alone. You never really loved them so leave them in peace or you will deal with us."
She looked to Ron, and knew that she was really going to hear it. Out of them all, Ron had their mother's fiery temper and anger.
"Ginny, I knew that you were never the same since that diary in your first year, and I know that you probably blame Harry for it. But to mislead him as you have, knowing that he was affection starved and vulnerable, made your crimes more grave than his. Harry's not in the clear in this, this is as much as his fault as yours. You both didn't think about this, both for different reasons. And now, there are three innocent children in the picture. If you didn't feel anything for Harry, why did you marry him? Why did you accept his proposal? Why have his children if he wasn't who you wanted?"
"Boy you are so fucking dumb Ronald." She said. "You'd have to be an idiot to let Harry get away. He had it, the wealth, the fame and the prestige. I wanted it, I felt I deserved it and I was going to get it. I used it to my advantage, got the career and fame I wanted. Like I told him, he was a means to an end."
"And the children?"
"He can keep the fucking brats. I don't want them. I never did but I wanted sex and I wanted to be the one who got fucked by the Savior." The more she confessed, the angrier the family got.
"Well, this is not looking good for you at all Ginny." He said as he closed the file. "I hope you know that."
"Honestly, I really don't give a fuck. I'm Ginny Weasley and I can get out of this...."
"Not when I'm through with you Ms. Weasley," A cold condescending voice drawled. Ginny blanched bone white as she recognized the voice. She remembered that voice. She dared a look and gulped. There in the doorway, standing in all his icy glory, was Lucius Abraxas Malfoy himself!
The Malfoy Patriarch looked to her father and nodded in greeting before continuing. "I will be acting as your soon to be ex husband's legal counsel and by the time I'm through with you, I can personally guarantee that not even the lowliest of jobs will hire the likes of you. Personally if I were you, I'd leave the Wizarding World for good to save face but you're not that clever." Despite himself Ron snickered. "Now, down to business. My client is pressing full charges against you, attempted murder in the first degree, abuse to his person and your mutual children, reckless endangerment of minors, pain and suffering as well as coercion, adultery, and a divorce. In that matter I will also represent Mr. Potter. And believe me my dear, I never lose a case I've represented for and I'm very good at what I do."
"Don't say another word Ginerva." A new voice said and Lucius stepped to the side. It was another lawyer and from the look of it, it was a lawyer Lucius knew.
"Well, Mr. Davis, what brings you here, oh no let me guess, your son pleaded for your services to help out his precious paramour?" At this the lawyer stiffened but regarded Ginny.
"As he said, my name is Ryder Davis, I'm Roger's father and yes he beseeched on your behalf. What do you want out of this?"
"Half the fortunes, properties and a divorce. Also draw up charges of mental anguish, and just being a liar."
"Face it Davis, your client is a bint, shall we just settle here and now before you're humiliated and she's massacred by me?"
"Not a chance Malfoy."
"Oh well. Kiss your career goodbye for I'm going to destroy it as well as your client." Davis glowered but handed a card to Ginny arranging to meet with her next week. After he left, Molly, who had been quiet until now, looked to Lucius.
"We thank you and your family Lucius for saving Harry and the children. How are they?"
"Well, the children are fine but as for Mr. Potter, I showed him tough love. I told him the truth and I hold back no punches."
"Keep doing so," Molly said. "Ginerva has done them damage but I'm confident that your son will do them good, as would you and Narcissa and your grandson."
"Scorpius adores them already." Lucius said with a smirk. "And he's just as besotted with Mr. Potter as my son is, on different levels of course." Arthur smiled and nodded. He understood that. Harry was a charming personality, just don't piss him off!
"You know that we can't afford your services Lucius."
"Oh hush, to kick Davis into the ground and see the look on your daughter's face as I crush her hopes to bits is more than enough to cover my fee." He smirked. "I will keep you abreast on them, don't worry. Now I must get back before I'm missed." With that he was gone.
Harry was fast asleep on the settee where Draco left him. He had a lot to think on and he came to a conclusion, he needed to see a Healer and heal his family. He was terrified but he knew that he had to do this to move on and have a brighter happier future. He was about to summon Maple when Lucius appeared suddenly. Harry meeped in surprise and Lucius blinked before looking at him."Mr. Malfoy...."
"You may call me Lucius," The older blond said. "But continue,"
"I just wanted to tell you that I thought about what both you and Draco said and you were right. Although the timing could have been better."
"There's no time like the present Mr. Potter..."
"You can call me Harry." Harry said. Lucius nodded and continued.
"I do know of a Mind Healer who helped Draco out after the war. You can speak to him. His name is Aven De Clair and he's the best thus far in his profession. I'll book an appointment for you if you'd like." Harry nodded in thanks and Lucius escorted him to the study, both men eager to share their decisions with Draco, Narcissa and the children.
Wow there will be more. I hope this clears the air on some things!
