Chapter-4
Hidden
Harry turns to look at Draco and smiles when their eyes meet. They are sitting in a hall in the Malfoy manor. Harry had found the manor as the best place to call the press conference in. Draco attempts to smile back at him and fails and then returns to his book. Draco doesn't smile much now. He smiles only when they have company and he knows that it would be impolite not to smile.
Whatever happened in the past six months is haunting Draco and it aches Harry's heart. They have packed their bags and they have to leave after the conference ends. Harry has already spoken to Dean about the book he wants to publish. He doesn't know whether Draco will contribute to it or not but he hopes that he does.
The hall is full of reporters and journalists. Skeeter is sitting in the very first row but the most surprising thing is the change in her demeanor. The ever present nasty smirk is absent today and her hair are not made up in a bun. She is not looking shrewd and she has come with her daughter today. She is quiet and she is looking at them. Her daughter's eyes are fixed on Draco and Harry knows the reason. Draco had told him the story. Draco had told him everything. They don't hide anything from each other.
For instance, Harry knows that Draco wants to leave. It is written all over his body. He is reading a book very quietly. He is trying to become invisible. Contrary to the popular belief, Draco doesn't like unwanted attention at all. That was the only reason Draco had never revealed his contribution to the defeat of the dark lord.
"Mr. Potter." A young journalist calls him and Harry realizes that it's time. He stands up and clears his throat before casting sonorus on his throat. Draco continues reading. Some would think that Draco is being arrogant. Harry knows that Draco is uncomfortable. He turns his eyes towards his husband and Draco looks at him. his eyes are a bit irritated.
Harry only smiles at him because he already knows that Draco doesn't want anyone to know. But Harry will tell them and Harry will make them regret what they did to Draco, or rather he will make them regret for doing nothing to save Draco.
Ron and Hermione are sitting with others at the further most corner of the wall.
"Before you start with your questions, I would like to tell of you the reason I have called this conference."
Skeeter's quick quote quill stops when Harry stops and it's surprising because Skeeter never stops writing. It's almost like she is taking down Harry's actual words.
Harry smiles at the crowd in front of him but his smile is nasty and that's why many journalists gasp and some of them stare at him with raised eyebrows.
It's really amusing that people have misconceptions about Draco and him. They think that just because Draco was a slytherin, he keeps on sneering at everyone or that his smile is always nasty when Draco is the most kind hearted man Harry has ever met.
Harry, though... he almost laughs out loudly when he thinks about what people think about him. Harry is not a do gooder like they think and maybe that's why the hat wanted to sort him in Slytherin in the first place. Harry knows that he could easily have turned into a dark wizard, darker than Voldemort and Grindalwald combined. Draco prevented this from happening.
Ever since he has woken up and heard about how Draco and his family were sentenced, a ball of rage has started building in his chest and it has been growing ever since. He wants to hurt everyone and he can. He can blast this hall and the occupants in it. He has that much power at his disposal but a peak at Draco's steady and narrowed eyes makes him realize that Draco won't let it happen.
Draco's power matches his. The only difference is that Draco has complete control over it. Since Draco won't let him hurt them physically, Harry would hurt them mentally, with his words and knowledge.
As he gazes around the hall, he notices people looking nastily at Draco, their eyes full of hatred and accusations. They are fools. No-one ever wondered about the fact that why didn't Harry die when Voldemort cast Avada on him.
They don't know the truth. Despite the fact that Harry was completely untrained, Harry managed to win the first two rounds of the triwizard tournament and survived the last round too. Had Voldemort had access to Harry's blood to resurrect himself, his power would have been tenfold. If he had really used Harry's blood, then why didn't it happen?
Harry's rage is building again and his finger tips crackle with his magic. The tables and chairs all around the hall start shaking. That's when Draco stands up and mutters curtly, "I will apparate both of us away from here if you don't control your fury."
"But-" Harry starts, his eyes flashing. They hurt Draco. Draco had done everything in his power to help Harry.
"No. I don't want you to become like him. I don't want revenge. I just want to leave, god-damnit. This place is suffocating me. Will you just start? I don't want to stay in their presence any longer." Draco snaps at him, "Control yourself. You must meditate to control it. But do you ever listen to me. No. You don't."
Harry breathes and rolls his eyes before muttering, "All right. All right. I will start tomorrow onwards. Don't be angry."
"I am not angry Harry and you-"
"I know that you never get angry but I am allowed to get angry on your behalf. I won't act on it the way I want to, not that you would let me." Harry mutters and turns his face to address the crowd. Draco sits down and Harry's eyes flash with restrained fury. Everyone gasps and he mutters, "Damn." because he knows that his eyes must be red now. This tends to happen when Harry can't keep a tight a reign on his fury.
"Control yourself." Draco mutters through gritted teeth and Harry breathes deeply. A few seconds later, he calms down and starts again, "Draco and I got married about four years back. Most of you will think that it was hasty decision since we both were young but I don't really care about what you think."

Draco sighs. Harry is angry and when Harry is angry, he either snaps or curses and since he knows that Draco won't let him curse, he is snapping.
"Draco and his family were sentenced and none of you bothered to look into the reality. I will tell you the truth today."
Draco sighs again. He had not wanted Harry to speak about it but he can't stop Harry now. The green eyed man is angry and Draco has to let him vent out. Draco knows that he is already walking on a very thin line. Harry's magic is wild and uncontrolled. If allowed, Harry will unleash it on them.
Harry loves Draco the most in this entire universe and Draco is the only reason Harry is attempting to control himself.
"It wasn't just me who defeated Lord Voldemort. Draco and I defeated him together. I never really died. It was Draco who saved me. All that talk about dying and coming back is pure hogwash."
Harry stops and Draco notices Dumbledore and Severus staring at them in pure shock. His parents are a bit confused but Severus now knows what Draco did and so does Dumbledore.
"In fact he was been leading a secret life, a life which only I knew about."
'Hisss' Draco almost jumps but then he settles down when Slyth crawls on his lap and continues towards Harry to wrap around Harry's shoulders. Serena who is Draco's cat, climbs on his lap. Draco looks at her and strokes her head. She is cute and he loves her. No-one knows about the fact that Serena is his pet and not Harry's. Everyone thinks that Slyth is Draco's and Serena is Harry's.
The expressions on the faces of reporters and journalists are quite amusing. They are terrified and shocked.
Dumbledore, Severus, his parents, Harry's friends, everyone who is gathered is shocked.
Harry laughs loudly and the voice is really terrifying. It's having the desired effect. Some reporters attempt to stand up but the doors get locked very suddenly and Harry booms, "No-one will stand unless I say so."
Draco pets Serena and looks at father. He is staring at Draco. They had never really known Draco at all. No-one except Harry does.
"I am writing a book on him, 'The secret life of Draco Malfoy' and I will publish it in a month."
"Mr. Potter." He is interrupted by Skeeter's daughter who has been very quiet till now.
"Yes." Harry replies and she murmurs softly, "I would like to contribute to your book. I would like to tell everyone how he helped me escape, how he bore the wrath of the dark lord so that I could escape his clutches."
The silence around the room is deafening. Draco looks at father again and realizes that father remembers. Draco has lied to everyone except Harry. He had told no-one.
"I never got to thank him. Thank you Mr. Malfoy." She murmurs and surprisingly Skeeter stands up, her eyes apologetic, "I would like to thank you for saving my daughter. I would also like to publish an article on the book. I would be honored if you allow me to do so."
Draco is stunned. Skeeter doesn't ask for permission. She smirks and prints lies but he has noticed that she has not really printed any lies for a very long time. He tries to smile at her daughter but can't. He expects the girl to be annoyed or hurt but she is looking at him with understanding eyes and Draco turns back to look at Serena.
Harry replies gracefully, "I would be grateful if you do that for me, Mrs. Skeeter."
The rest of the conference passes in a blur. When the reporters leave, they have an apology in their eyes but Draco doesn't acknowledge them. He doesn't stop to talk to his parents.
He only looks at Harry and murmurs, "I am apparating to the international portkey center."
Harry kisses his forehead softly and nods. Thereafter, Draco leaves without speaking to anyone at all.
