Chapter-4
Harry's Buried Secrets
Draco stared at the boy who claimed to be Lord Voldemort's heir in shock and disbelief, because how could anyone bear to sleep with that hideous man, except for Sweet Merlin "Aunt Bella" He choked out and bile rose in his throat.
The boy's eyes flashed in anger for a second but that mere second was enough for Draco to realize that the boy was definitely up to something. It took a second for Riddle to compose himself again and drop his extended hand in mock despair.
"I am sorry that Lord Voldemort sired me. It is not really my fault." He spoke and his expression was sad as he gazed at Albus and by the look on Albus's face, it had perhaps fooled him but it won't fool Draco or Harry or as a matter of fact, Scorpius who was practically seething so much that Draco could feel angry vibes emanate from him.
"What are you up to?" Harry asked in a cold voice, his wand pointed at the red eyed boy and Riddle merely shrugged "Nothing. Came to ask for your forgiveness. He made your life a living hell. I am sorry."
It was not surprising that Albus got up and faced Harry in annoyance "Drop it dad. He is Voldemort's son. So what, eh? Draco is Lucius Malfoy's son, death eater extraordinaire and has managed to be a decent man and Scorpius is a man whore, though it was Draco who sired him. How does it matter who is whose son, anyways?"
Where on one hand Riddle's face portrayed smugness, Scorpius's had turned pale. There was a moment of stunned silence which was broken by Harry, who looked at his son desperately, completely ignoring Riddle who was sitting arrogantly and smugly again in his prior position.
"Albus, Hugo was under imperious. I just removed that curse. Tell him Hugo."
Weasley's brat cleared his throat and came forward "Yes, It seems that I was under the effects of Imperious."
"Really" Riddle asked with a face that portrayed nothing but shock and disbelief but it did not fool Draco even for a minute.
"Yes, it seems so. Uncle Harry removed the curse, though. Thank you, Uncle." Hugo looked at his godfather gratefully.
"Do you remember who cursed you, Mr. Weasley?" Draco settled down on the couch across from riddle and asked.
"No, it seems to have been removed from my memory."
"Hugo, Return to your parent's place and tell them everything. Go through the floo." Harry asked and Hugo nodded nervously before hurrying away.
Having sent Hugo back, Harry turned towards Albus and Scorpius "Both of you will stay quiet and let me talk to him."
Kids nodded reluctantly and Albus sat back, whereas Scorpius stood silently, fuming inwardly.
Harry turned towards Riddle and warned him "Look here, I do not know whether you cursed Hugo or not but I do know that I will make you regret coming here if you harm my kids."
Riddle nodded and smiled serenely "I won't disappoint you, Mr. Potter. Thank you for giving me this chance."
Harry narrowed his eyes and stared at Riddle who stared right back.
"You can stay here if you desire until the school starts." Harry said sharply and Riddle nodded, seeming grateful, though Draco knew that he was anything but.
Harry looked at Draco and murmured, his eyes worried "I need to talk to you Draco. Please meet me in my room."
Draco nodded and stood up. Before leaving, he stared at Riddle with cool eyes "I am watching you. Remember that and steer clear of Albus's way."
Riddle nodded and Draco followed Harry.
Only after having locked his room and cast Muffliato, he turned towards his husband who was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands "Fuck. What are we going to do?"
"Why did you not throw him out of the house?" Draco asked, irritated beyond belief "I don't want to house Voldemort's devil spawn."
"I want to keep an eye on him. Had I thrown him out, it was highly possible that he would follow his father's example and terrorise Britain." Harry looked at him with tired eyes "Keeping him here is also a very difficult task. Albus is smitten by his charms, Draco. He resembles young Tom riddle so much, same charm, same confidence, same smile and same red eyes."
"Albus is as stubborn as you. We must keep other kids out of this at least. I will talk to Scorpius about Albus. Do not worry." Draco walked forward and pulled the worried man up in his arms.
"But, Albus is very vulnerable right now. He will manipulate him." Harry embraced him back and answered with a frown.
"We can't fight their battles for them. I will talk to Scorpius and you have a word with Albus. Tell him to talk to us if something goes wrong." Draco kissed his neck and Harry cupped his arse.
"He is up to something. I know he is."
Draco replied calmly "Perhaps. We fought and defeated his father and can do it again, if required." A few seconds passed and Harry did not reply, lost in his thoughts until he heard Draco's voice mock him "Scared, Potter."
"You wish, Malfoy." Harry replied back, a small smile grazing his face.

Two days later found Harry in his study. He was waiting for the clock to struck twelve so that he could finally talk to Albus Dumbledore. He had been avoiding Draco since morning. Kids had gone to purchase books and supplies for the commencing year. He had kept an eye on Riddle and thought a lot about the boy. It could not be a mere coincidence that Albus resumed his position as the headmaster of Hogwarts the year when Riddle joined it, even though he had refused to take it for the several years.
He felt no surprise when he felt warm arms encircle his waist and Draco's cheeks press on his shoulders. Draco had been trying to talk to him since morning.
"You have been avoiding me since morning." Draco said softly. His tone was not at all angry. It was sad and perhaps a little curious. This was something that surprised him, though. Draco never ceased to amaze him. The man had boundless patience. He knew that Harry was avoiding him and he was not angry at all. Harry's love for Draco increased every day. He wished he could tell all his secrets to Draco. But he couldn't because they were embarrassing. No one except Albus knew them, not even Severus knew everything.
He did not answer so Draco asked again "You are going somewhere. Where are you going?"
Harry felt his lips upturn in a smile and teased him "You see, there is someone I am seeing, someone who is demanding my attention since I have not been-"
Draco pinched his belly button and scolded "Harry! I trust you. Tell me. Where you off to are and why are you not telling me? You can tell me anything."
"I can't." Harry replied softly, his eyes gazing at the fire.
"Why?" Draco backed off and turned Harry to face him. Of course Harry avoided his eyes because there were certain things he had not told Draco, that he had not told anyone. "You are scaring me Harry. Tell me please."
Draco sounded so worried that Harry had to look at the man in wonder. Harry had hurt Draco so much and the blonde still loved him so much. How could he have so much patience? He felt an overwhelming urge to wrap Draco in his arms so he did. He pulled Draco and wrapped his arms around him and then he closed his eyes. So many secrets. He did not want to hide anything from Draco. He wanted to tell everything to him. He wanted to scream and rage and maybe cry alittle. He had never got a chance to cry in his life. So just for once, he wanted to cry because he was sure Draco would not stop him.
"Harry." Draco's voice bordered on panicking and Harry realized that his body was shaking and belatedly he realized that he was whimpering. "Harry, you can tell me everything. Please, just tell me." Harry could tell him and he wanted to but there were some other people who deserved to know. Severus and his best friends, Ron and Hermione and perhaps the truth would devastate them but they still needed to know. He had kept it hidden long enough.
"Harry, love, please." Draco spoke so gently that Harry wondered the extent of love he held in his heart for Harry because how could anyone have so much endurance. Draco had always had a hunch that Harry was hiding many things from him and he had asked subtly about it. Harry had avoided every time Draco as much as indicated that Harry was hiding something.
He breathed a couple of times to control himself and pulled back "All right. I was going to talk to Albus Dumbledore. I just have a single request."
"Yes." Draco replied softly, his eyes worried.
"I want Severus, Hermione and Ron to be there as well. They have a right to know. I should not have hidden anything from them." Harry replied, his eyes on the floor and his hands inside his pockets. He waited for Draco to refuse and demand him to spill the beans immediately. Surely, he wouldn't have this much patience. So he was very surprised when he felt Draco wrap his arms around Harry and answer "Ok. We will owl them and wait in Dumbledore's office."
"Draco." Harry pulled back and looked into Draco's eyes before whispering.
"Hmmm."
Draco's eyes became wide when Harry covered his lips with his own. The kiss was passionate and chaste and it was like coming home.
"You are amazing, you know. I am very lucky to have you as my Veela. I love you." Harry whispered after pressing their foreheads together.
"I am?" Draco asked a little dazed.
"Yes."
"I love you too, Harry. You are the amazing one, you know. You just do not know it." Draco caressed Harry's cheeks softly looked into his eyes. Harry realized that he could spend forever gazing into those eyes. He wondered about Draco's reaction when he would finally know the complete truth.
Only time would tell.

Two hours later found Draco sitting in Dumbledore's office, with Harry standing behind him with his hands on Draco's shoulders and Ron and Hermione beside him. Severus was leaning against the wall.
"Tell me Albus, did you know about Marcus Riddle'e existence?" Harry asked in a very sharp voice. Draco kept his eyes on Albus Dumbledore who was sitting in front of him. His face mirrored the guilt he was feeling, though Draco still did not know the reason.
"I did." He replied and kept his eyes lowered on his table. Draco just stared in shock at the headmaster.
"Just like you knew about mine. What did you do about it? When you knew that he was an orphan, why did you not do anything?" Harry asked him again.
"Harry, I am sorry. I-" Dumbledore started and Draco stared at the man, speechless.
"Sorry does not solve anything. What did you think Albus? Just because Harry Potter did not turn into a Dark Lord in spite of being bullied, beaten, starved, neglected, abused his entire childhood, it does not mean the Riddle won't too." Harry spoke and Draco wanted to stand up and shake the man but the man's hands squeezed his shoulders tightly. This could only mean one thing. Harry could not face them while telling them any of this.
"Mate, what-" Ron spoke and his voice was utterly devastated and it was Hermione who whispered softly "No, Ron, let him speak."
"You were given my responsibility. You, Albus Dumbledore, could have taken me in your custody. It was not like you did not own house elves to help you but you chose to ignore me. You chose to leave me to those horrid Dursleys." Harry spoke and his voice was shaking and sweet Merlin, Draco wanted to wrap the man in his arms. Harry's hands stopped him from uttering a single word, though.
"Harry, my child, please-"
"Don't you dare call me you child. The only father I have known is Severus Snape, because mine died when I was a baby." Harry stopped and breathed hard. But that as not what caught Draco's attention. Someone was breathing hard and the glass cupboards shook. Draco turned to find out that it was Severus Snape, Severus who was glaring darkly at Dumbledore, Severus who had loved Harry with his being, Severus who had devoted his entire life to Harry, who had even quarrelled with Lucius for Harry.
Harry continued nonetheless "They kept me in a cupboard like a piece of trash. They gave Dudley's old clothes to me. I had to wear Dudley's underpants just because I didn't have any. They starved me and lied to me about my parents and all the while you knew about it. You did nothing. You could have told Severus but you did not tell him."
Draco was practically trembling with rage and injustice. He turned and realized that Harry's best friends were completely devastated. Ron's face was completely white and Hermione was crying, her hand on her mouth.
"They neglected me for eleven years. I was not allowed to score better then Dudley and they punished me when I did. Can you imagine that they beat me with a stick when I had topped my class and Dudley had failed? I had no family at all." Harry spoke, his voice shaking.
"Harry, what's the purpose of this? Why are you-" Albus Dumbledore looked at them with moist eyes and Draco was sure that the man was feeling guilty over what he had done.
"Ron was the closest to brother I had ever had. Weasleys were the first family I had had. Mrs. Wealsey was the first woman who had hugged me. She was-is like a mother to me."
Draco could barely control himself. He gritted his teeth and wrapped his hands together from picking the table and throwing it on Dumbledore's head. He heard a whimper and turned his face to find that Ron had his wrist in his mouth.
"They wanted me to marry Ginny and I did not want to disappoint them. Draco wanted to meet me and I had tried everything to make him leave me alone but he was so persistent, so I got rid of him the only way I knew. Dursleys tortured and abused me my entire life and I hated them so I tortured him. I gave pain to him, unbearable, unimaginable pain and I was so sure that he would hate me after that. But then I realized that he was a veela and that there was no way out. I had to divorce Ginny. I had distanced myself from Ron and Hermione. I was drunk and I was mad and I was so immature. I tortured him again and this time I wanted to punish him for taking everything away from me. I had spent eleven years caged in my relatives's house and the next seven years to get rid of Voldemort and I wanted to be normal. I was twenty one and divorced and I was frustrated and angry at everything. I vented at Draco. I did not understand the meaning of sharing my sorrows with him because I had never shared my sorrows with anyone at all. I did not know that his love would heal me. I wanted to punish him so badly for taking away the only brother I had ever had, the only mother I had ever known. Ron had warned me that the Weasley family will leave Harry if I befriend Draco. I did not want to lose them and I lost them. I was so angry." Harry's hands were shaking now and so was Draco. He wanted to wrap Harry in his arms. All these years he had wondered what had cause Harry to torture him in such an inhuman manner. He had his answers now. Harry had treated him the only way he knew. He had been abused and beaten up by the Dursleys and had hated them and had humiliated and tortured him at The Three Broomsticks because he wanted Draco to hate him and he had been angry over losing the only family he had had. Severus had never expressed his love for Harry. A child needs the parent to express their love and Mrs. Wealey had expressed and Harry lost her because of him or he thought that he lost her.
"Harry, please. I apologise. Just stop." Albus's voice was barely above a whisper and Harry whispered in a soft voice now.
"You apologise. I have apologised a thousand times and I cannot forgive myself. My reasons are not enough to excuse the crime I committed. Draco is too loving and I am too lucky. Anyone else would have killed me. Why did you give such a life to me? I was mentally imbalanced. I was sick. I deserved to die for what I did to Draco. Your apology does not change anything at all. It does not make me forgive myself. It does not make me forget what I did. I will never get over what I did. Draco gets up and prepares breakfast for me and he makes my favourite dishes and I don't think that I deserve his love. He deserved a normal sane husband not a sick monster who turns him naked in front of a hundred people and spanks him up. You made me sick. You could have prevented it but you didn't. You wanted a perfect sacrifice and I was and had Draco not intervened to save, you would have sacrificed me. How can I forgive you when you have committed the same mistake with Marcus Riddle?" Harry stopped and his chest heaved for breath.
Draco wanted to scream but Severus got him there. Before Draco knew anything, Severus had walked forward and levitated the table and broken it into thousand pieces. Draco knew that it was very hard for Severus because he could easily have raised Harry. He would have given a normal and good life to Harry and he had wanted to. The rage that Severus felt was clear in eyes that burned with fury and he would have broken each and every piece of furniture in the office but Harry whispered "Please. Don't. It's over and I am happy now."
It was Ron who screamed at the top of his voice "Happy. HAPPY. I manipulated you. I manipulated your need for having a family. I took away your happiness and it would have been so easy. I could just have accepted Malfoy and told Ginny about your favouring guys but I DID NOT. I WAS SUPPOSED T0 BE YOUR BROTHER. I BEHAVED LIKE AN ASSHOLE AND DESTROYED EVERYTHING." The man was breathing hard now and was clutching his chest as if it was paining.
"Ron." Harry removed his hands from Draco's shoulders finally and reached for his friend.
"Mr. Weasley. Calm down." Severus spoke in a irritated voice.
"Ron. Breathe. Please breathe deeply. Calm down." Hermione tried but Ron did not calm down. His mouth opened and Hermione was rubbing his backa dn Harry was rubbing his hand and Dumbledore and Severus were trying to calm him down. It was surprising that it was Draco who was able to prevent the heart attack; he would have suffered, had Draco not acted quickly.
"You are forgiven, Weasley. Harry and I forgave you a long time ago. We will never forgive you if you die though because Harry still needs his best friend and children need their father and godfather. Dare not die. I expect better from you." He muttered as calmly as he could and he had forgiven Weasley because he knew that Weasley had realized his mistakes and he knew Harry had forgiven his best friend too.

Harry stared in wonder as Ron calmed down. He loved Draco so bloody much at the present moment. It was difficult to express his love for the man in words and he wondered if his actions were enough to express it.
Ron calmed down and settled down in his seat, staring at his hands silently just like Albus Dumbledore. Severus and Hermione were staring at him and he just wanted to escape. He wanted to run away and he knew that it was not possible yet. So when Draco abruptly stood up and wrapped him into a warm embrace and Harry hid his burning face in Draco's neck, he accepted the warmth gladly. He was so bloody embarrassed. He hated his childhood and he hated talking about it with anyone at all. He knew that nothing was enough to forego what he had done but he wanted everyone to understand it. Kids did not need to know ye but Draco and others did.
"It's okay. We can talk about it later." Draco whispered and Harry nodded. Ron mumbled softly "Calm down, mate. We have complete life to discuss this."
"Yes, Harry. We can discuss it when you are comfortable and we can discuss it separately with you, each one of us I mean. You do not need to face everyone at once and you do not need to do it right now." Hermione said softly and Severus agreed smoothly "Yes, Mr. Potter, we will talk about this later. Right now, we need to speak about Marcus Riddle."
"I am sorry for what I did to you, Harry and I admit. I knew about his existence. I knew that he is Tom's and Bellatrix's child. " Albus spoke sighed sadly and looked at him with grave eyes.
