Unasked Questions and Silent Answers
Draco stares at him after Harry places him down and suddenly, Harry feels very hesitant. He averts his eyes from intense silver eyes that belong to his husband and takes a step forward. Before he can do that, though, he feels fingers entwining with his and stares at them. The trembling fingers belong to Draco who is looking at him with utterly pained eyes. Harry's heart goes to him.
Something very horrible must have happened to lead to this. Draco has always been a lively boy, always so full of life. His mere presence has always been enough to instigate positivity in Harry. Harry wants- no he needs to know what happened during those six months.
Draco keeps on looking at him, his eyes sad and Harry goes with his instincts. He wraps his arms around Draco's stomach. The blond places his head on Harry's shoulder and practically slumps in his arms. Harry wonders if Draco had been waiting for Harry. If he was, then why didn't he just ask for Harry.
A few minutes pass before he hears a soft, "Harry." Draco pulls back from the embrace and they turn to look at Hermione.
"They are waiting outside." She whispers and Draco entwines their fingers before answering her curtly, "We will be out in a few seconds."
She nods and walks out.
Harry is surprised when Draco holds his cheeks in his palms and gazes into his eyes. The most beautiful thing is that Harry doesn't move. He only stares into Draco's eyes. No words are exchanged between them but Harry knows what Draco's eyes are asking from him. Harry has always loved Draco unconditionally and what Draco wants doesn't matter because no matter what it is, Harry will give it to Draco, no questions asked. He can't tolerate to see Draco in pain any longer so he nods, answering Draco's unasked question. It's beautiful and wonderful because finally Harry has someone who is his and Voldemort is gone. Harry can finally live with his husband in peace.
Draco's shoulders sag in relief. Harry's heart clenches. Draco has sacrificed a lot to support Harry. Harry's eyes well with unshed tears. Draco has done everything to help Harry win this war. He didn't deserve whatever happened to him. Maybe it's not enough but Harry will give an earful to the ministry.
Draco looks at him after a few seconds and looks into Harry's wet eyes. Silver eyes looks at him with sadness and forgiveness and Harry closes his eyes when Draco leans forward to kiss his closed eyes. They hear a shuffle and realize that Ron is standing in front of them, his cheeks red and his eyes ashamed.
Potent fury flares inside Harry for a moment. Ron has no right to intervene and he wants to hex his best friend into oblivion but Draco squeezes his hands and Harry stops himself gazing into silver eyes defiantly. Again, it's beautiful because Draco understands him so well and Draco will never let Harry get away with something that is wrong.
"I- I am sorry Harry. I will wait outside. Professor Snape asked me to check on you. He is worried that you are killing each other. I will tell him that you need some time." Ron stammers out, his voice dripping with shame that the red-head is feeling. Harry doesn't answer but Draco does, "No need. We are coming."
Harry rolls his eyes. He is still irritated that Ron and Hermione never noticed Harry's strange absences. But right now, he wants to concentrate on his husband so he simply walks out of the damned prison, hand in hand with Draco.

Draco squints a bit before opening his eyes. It has been a long time since he has gone out in sun. Severus is standing with Harry's friends, facing towards them. Dumbledore is standing at the other side of Severus and even Blaize and Pansy are there. Father and mum are there too. They look well. Draco avoids their eyes.
"Draco. How are you?" Its Severus who asks him and he announces in a very clear voice, "I would drop all my demands if Harry agrees to leave the British Wizarding world with me. I don't want to stay here any longer."
He doesn't want to force it upon Harry so he looks at the man who is looking at Draco with alarmed eyes. Draco wonders about the reason but he doesn't have to wonder for long because Potter hisses furiously at him, "What did they do to you? Who were they? Tell me. I will destroy them."
Harry's hands are on Draco's shoulders and his green eyes are beyond furious. They are bloodthirsty and others are angry too.
"Tell me Draco. I am your father-"
"Draco, please-"
"Malfoy, you need to tell us so that we can seek justice for you." The voice belongs to Weasley who is looking furious as well and Draco is surprised. But that doesn't change anything. Dumbledore and Severus know it, judging from their knowing eyes.
Draco turns back to look at Harry, "It won't change anything. This is the only thing I want. I want to leave this place and I don't want to return here ever again. Can you give this to me?"
Harry's answer is beautiful.
"I would give anything you want to you. It doesn't matter if it's my life that you want. I will give it to you. So it's beyond question. You don't need to tell your reasons to me. I trust you but I do hope that you would eventually open up to me. I wouldn't take any steps to punish them if that's what you want. I just want your happiness. Everything else is immaterial to me." Draco stares at Harry. The subsequent silence is deafening and Draco realizes that Harry is not done yet.
"But, I would like to call a press conference to announce our decision and I want to give every citizen of this country a piece of my mind. I do hope that you would allow me to do that."
Harry's request is sincere and Harry's subsequent words prove it.
"You have sacrificed so much for them and I would like them to know about it so that it keeps on haunting them forever. It's not fair on you. They must know. Dumbledore doesn't know everything. No-one does except me. I want to write a book on it. I hope-"
"You can call a press conference and write the book that you want. You can tell them anything you want." Draco answers before continuing, "Now, I would like to pack and leave. I can't stay in this country a moment longer."
"But, Draco-" Father starts and so does mum, "Draco- son, please listen-"
"NO! I don't want to stay here. Not a moment longer." Surprisingly, Dumbledore's and Severus's eyes hold acceptance. Blaize and Pansy seem stunned but they don't contest Draco's decision. They know him too well. Weasley looks resigned and Granger looks with understanding in her eyes at him.
"Then so be it." Harry speaks out, his eyes steeled. His words seemed like a line cut in stone, unalterable and unquestionable. Draco closes his eyes and leans against Harry's shoulder.
"We are coming with you Harry." Weasley mutters, his voice resembling Harry's and Granger holds Weasley's hands before whispering, "Yes."
Blaize and Pansy say nothing. They only lower their heads in shame.
Draco knows why father, mum and Severus and Dumbledore are quiet. They need to stay here to rebuild Hogwarts. So Draco doesn't begrudge any of them. But respect for Weasley and Granger becomes tenfold in his eyes. Draco feels foolish for having hidden their marriage from the couple. But bygones are bygones. Finally, it is over. He can finally live in peace now.
