Chapter 4
Andromeda handed a sheaf of parchment to Narcissa that morning. “Many apologies sister. I did what I could.”
Narcissa took them from her, her face paled and she seemed to lose her composure.
She summoned ink and a quill. She signed the parchment and left her food untouched. “I wish to be alone. At least now I can mourn honestly….”
Draco glanced at his mother, “What was that about?”
“Severus came to me yesterday to verify his suspicions. He is dying and has little time left. He made provisions for your mother including a bonding contract and a will. He’s left the possibility for heirs if your mother consents. Severus wished to die quietly and is at a Prince residence being cared for by his elves. He wishes that we abide by his choices. He is sorry that he can’t care for the child you offered but he hopes that you will care of them yourself.”
Draco looked stricken, “He won’t be at my Bonding?”
Andromeda shook her head; “His condition is rapidly taking its toll on his body. He used the last of his strength to save Harry. He doesn’t regret it, he said he has paid his debts and he can die without worry.”
Harry hugged Draco; the loss of the man who might have been his father tore at his heart.
Breakfast passed in solemn silence, a fitting tribute to a man who preferred solitude to company.
XoooooX
Bill Arrived after breakfast with his father and grandfather by floo, Harry met them in the receiving room.
Harry bowed, “Mr. Weasley…and?” he addressed Bill’s grandfather, not sure how the man wished to be called.
Draco gestured for them to follow him, “The front parlour would be more comfortable.”
The chairs in the receiving room were hard and clearly uncomfortable.
The older gentleman followed leading the younger members of his family; “You may address me as Septimus. I knew your grandmothers; Dorea was a fine woman Harry. I wish she’d lived long enough to know you.”
Once they were comfortably seated in the parlour Draco clapped his hands and instructed a house elf to bring refreshments.
“Now, am I right in saying that you two are Bonded?” Septimus asked.
Harry nodded, perhaps not legally but that was private.
“Lord Malfoy, are you in agreement with Lord Potter-Black’s adoption of my irresponsible granddaughter’s illegitimate offspring?”
Draco shrugged, “I have no objections. Besides, we all know that females offspring is rare amoung wizard couples. She maybe our only daughter.”
“Very well then. I was reminded that our family as well as Ginevra owe you life debts. With the birth of the babe and our allowing an adoption, would that satisfactorily satisfy the debt owed by the family?”
Harry nodded, “Most amiably.”
Septimus held out the documents, “William, if you will.”
Bill brought Harry the documents from his grandfather and handed him the requested ones. “Here are the ones you requested yesterday. There is a portkey for you to deliver these to your estate manager Rinak.”
“Thank you. What are your plans for Ginny since she’s disgraced herself?” Harry asked.
“Besides having her tossed out of the family with neither name nor vault? I care little. Ginevra is a disgrace to this family.” Septimus scowled.
Draco spoke up, “Might I offer a suggestion?”
Septimus shrugged.
“Since with her reputation in tatters and no family, her future is uncertain. Perhaps, Ginny can be made a ward of one of our Houses. If she consents to bear daughters for us as a surrogate, she may live a comfortable life. Perhaps, Harry might agree to take her into keeping. While we would refuse to actually sleep with her she would be treated as a mistress.”
Septimus winced, “Normally, I would strenuously object to a Weasley being taken as thus but I see that we have little choice with a girl such as that. Would she have any need to finish her education?”
“If she wishes she may, but she is allowed no employment and a small income as well as a warded house. She would have to sign a contract that forbids her from sexual contact with anyone other that her master. That is if Harry decided to have sex with her at all.”
Harry snorted, “As if. Ginny tried to seduce me when we were seeing each other. I told her I wasn’t interested and she continued to try to force herself on me. I had to use magic to throw her off and then use a shielding charm to keep her away so I could leave.”
Arthur shook his head, “It’s bad form to force a wizard to have sex against their will.”
“Something I was always suspicious Mary had done to you Arcturus.”
“I go by Arthur now father.”
“Arcturus is the name we gave you at birth and it is what we shall call you. Arthur is too common a name for my firstborn.”
Harry and Draco glanced at one another and shrugged.
“Where would you be letting Ginny stay?” Bill asked.
Harry shrugged, “Not at Grimmauld or here of course. It will be up to you if you ever see her. She was staying at The Burrow until the birth I heard.”
Arthur said stiffly, “We’ll inform you when she goes into labour.”
With the adoption papers signed it made things simpler for the Weasleys.
Ginny’s baby could be taken for adoption, it settled the life debts and Harry took responsibility for Ginny.
The three Weasleys shook his hand and thanked him for helping them out of a messy situation.
Leaving Draco alone with Harry.
“You know if you told me eight years ago I would adopting a Weasley I would have cursed you.”
Harry chuckled, “If you’d mentioned I’d be wanting to be in your bed or signing bonding contracts with you I would have been dumbfounded.”
They finished signing the backdated bonding contract; they filled out a birth certificate for Scorpius that listed Harry as Scorpius’ sire.
They would have to arrange for the blood adoption before they could file it.
After the blood adoption would be the Wiccaning for Scorpius.
“Any options for Scorpius’ godparents? I’ve already had Neville and Luna serve as Teddy’s.”
Draco sighed, “You could ask your business partner, I wouldn’t complain. About the Weasley child, I think you should ask Bill and his wife. I think they would appreciate it, being blood and all.”
“Scorpius ought to have two godparents as part of his Wiccaning.” Harry frowned.
“Fine. Than we can ask George’s beloved Seamus.” Draco rolled his eyes, “That ought to make them closer.”
Harry leaned over, “Since you’re now my bonded, you ought to think about taking me to bed.” Harry gave Draco an appraising look, “I certainly lucked out. You’re hot…”
Draco flushed, “I’m…going to check on Scorpius.”
Harry laughed, “I’m sure you can order some books. Since I’m a virgin I don’t know what I like. It’s up to you to figure it out Bonded.”
Draco tore out of the room.
Harry sighed, “This is going to be hard work…”
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
