Talking.

"Talk Draco," Harry all but ordered as Madame Malkin took Jason away for his fitting. The others had paid for their things, well except George and Alicia who they were still waiting for and Draco had been trying to decide what to do, whether to take his kids and run or to stay and talk. Harry had decided for him, they were staying and talking. It was going to be a long talk.

"What about?" Draco asked, folding his arms self consciously.

"Are you married?" Harry asked bluntly, "Your surnames become Malfoy-Smith, have you remarried?"

"I did remarry and I have also been divorced again," Draco said sadly, "His name was Paul and he was a very open minded muggle. A photographer. I did some modelling for him, that's how we met. Kian's his and he still helps me support him and visits. He took the children to the Zoo two weeks ago with his fiancé, they loved it. And Kian is going to spend next weekend at their house."

"So…if you're divorced why haven't you got rid of the 'Smith'?" Ron asked.

"At the time it was far too confusing for the children to change their name again, they'd only just gotten used to the double barrelled one," Draco shrugged, trying to act calm, "We'll get rid of it someday."

"So Kai and Jason are mine and Kian is your other husbands, I mean other ex-hus-Paul's. Who are the fathers or mothers of your other two children?" Harry asked.

"No mothers, I have only slept with one woman and can honestly say I never want to again, no offence Hermione," Draco said quite passionately. Judging by their facial expressions he could see that more of an explanation was needed, "It was Pansy Parkinson and she all but forced me."

"Eeeewww…" Ron gave a shudder.

"Yeah, as bad as she looked in clothes, trust me, she looked worse out of them," Draco shuddered slightly. Ron and Harry snorted. "Anyway their fathers, well I can't remember Elly's that much. I was very, very drunk as I suspect was he. We um did the deed in a clubs disabled toilet and I can't really remember what he looked like. Don't think he ever told me his name," he winced at the looks he was getting from them, Ron very clearly was thinking the word 'slut' in his mind, "And if you haven't already figured out who Jamie's other father is Harry go and look in a mirror."

"I thought so," Hermione put in quietly, "He looks just like you and Jason." This was said to Harry who was now staring at Jamie, watching as the boy laughed at something his elder brother had said quietly.

"He has my eyes," Harry said quietly.

"Kai does too," Draco said with a fond smile, "I was pregnant when I left, didn't realise until a month after I moved out though."

"Where did you have the children? I mean it's not possible that you had them at a muggle hospital…" Hermione asked confused.

"I had them all at St Mungo's, Doctor-Patient confidentiality is a wonderful thing. Kian was a lot easier to explain, re-married as I was. When Jamie was born I almost had to beg the Doctor not to tell you…"

"Why?" Harry asked.

"Because…" Draco looked at the floor, "Because I thought you'd take him away, take him to live with you." Harry stared at him, "I'd only won custody of Kai, if we'd gone to court again over Jamie they might have decided that you should have him so I just…didn't tell anyone."

"Can I just ask you something quickly?" Ron broke the tense silence that had followed Draco's explanation. Draco nodded warily. "Do you not know what contraception is?"

"Ron!" Hermione almost shrieked.

"What? He knew he could get up the duff so why not take precautions against it?" Ron finished asking quietly, looking at Draco calmly.

"I do know what it is Weasley," if they noticed that he was back to calling the red head by his surname they didn't react, "And I did use it. Unfortunately when you're so drunk you can't stand properly you tend to forget the little things on the way to the fun things. And Kian was planned. Satisfied?"

"Not quite," it was Harry who spoke, "Where did you go? Where have you been all these years?"

"I used my savings to rent a muggle flat down in Dorset and I got myself a job as a barman in a muggle pub. My neighbour looked after Kai whilst I was at work, she still baby-sits all of them for me even though her own children have all finished school and are off at University. I used a concealment charm to hide my pregnancy until I could no longer work and then took two weeks off for 'medical reasons'. Good thing I did too because I went into labour three days into the break," Draco smiled softly and looked over at his children.

"You worked the whole time?" Hermione asked.

"I was only pouring pints and clearing glasses, it wasn't too taxing," Draco assured her, "I extended my medical leave by another two weeks with a fake medical notice and then went back to work. With two young children to support I took on another job, a Sales Assistant at the local WHSmith's."

"Two jobs?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah, my savings didn't last my time off work unfortunately," Draco shrugged. "I had to do the same thing when Elly came and of course I had to lie to everyone about how I kept gaining children, I think I said to most that Kai and Jamie's mother was dead and Elly's had run off. And the same year that Elly was born I met Paul, eventually told him the truth and we were married the year after. Like I said he is very open minded, his fiancé is also a wizard."

"And Kian was planned so…?"

"I took medical leave once again and Paul supported us. My bosses think I've got a recurring problem which is sort of true," Draco smiled softly.

"Why did you divorce?" Hermione asked.

"Feelings change unfortunately and our love turned from the passionate love we'd married for to the closest of friends. It was a mutual decision and like I said we're still close and his fiancé is brilliant for him," Draco answered.

"You have led a very strange life Draco," Hermione said with a shake of her head, not a sad shake though, just a…well an impressed shake actually.

"That I have," Draco nodded. "May I ask a few questions?"

"Yes," Harry conceded.

"What happened to you Harry?"

"What do you mean?" Harry asked with a frown.

"You changed, before we divorced you were a completely different person and now, now you're almost back to your old self. What happened? I guess it must have been something to do with me as it only affected you when we were together," Draco asked sadly, his hands fiddling with the hem of his shirt nervously. "Of course if you don't want to tell me you don't have to…"

"It's no excuse but I was suffering from PTSD," Harry said quietly, sadly. Draco looked slightly confused, "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder."

"From the war?" Draco asked. Harry nodded. "Oh."

"I've been seeing a psychiatrist since you left and she's helped a great deal," Harry admitted quietly, "I see her every other Friday but we're talking about reducing it to once a month but I'm not sure yet. Like I said it's no excuse but…you asked."

"I did," Draco said shakily. "Is that why you had so many nightmares?"

"I still do but now I'm not so…excuse my language…emotionally fucked up I can deal with them," Harry said, keeping his voice down so that the children could not hear him swearing. Draco nodded sadly. Hearing that Harry had been going through…well that made him feel even worse for leaving Harry. But then his mind caught up with his conscience, allowing him to see that if he had stayed he would have been suffocated and controlled to the point of madness. That thought didn't stop his heart beat quickening and his face flushing, even after all this time his feelings for Harry hadn't changed. He still loved the dark haired man just as much as he had when he'd married him, just as much as he had when he'd left him, just as much as he always would. Harry gave an awkward cough, "So, do you have any more questions?"

"N-Not at the moment. Well only…what are we going to do now? We have to tell the twins that they're…well…twins…" Draco said awkwardly.

"You never told Kai?" Harry asked.

"I told him that he had a twin but I've never named Jason to him," Draco sighed sadly. "What about you?"

"Jason also knows but doesn't know."

"Then we'll have to tell them," Harry nodded, "And then what? We can't keep the twins apart now that they know," Draco said quietly.

"If they want to get to know each other and spend time with each other I wont stop them," Harry said bluntly. Draco nodded in agreement, that was a big if. He had always assumed that there would have been rumours about his and Harry's relationship and the break up and if the Weasley children's reactions earlier were anything to go by the rumours had made him to be evil once more.

"Well, um…I guess my children and I better get going. We've got lot's to get for Kai, this was our first shop," Draco said awkwardly, running his fingers through his short hair. "Do you live at Grimmauld Place? Only if Kai wants to know you and Jason more I need to know where to send any letters…"

"No, we live in Godric's Hollow," Harry said with a small smile.

"Great, I mean…it was nice seeing you all again," Draco smiled around at the adults before turning to the group of kids with a smile, "Kids, we're off."

"For food?" Jamie asked eagerly.

"Later!" Draco laughed. "Shopping first remember? Kai, we'll get your wand next and then your cauldron, telescope and scales. Once we've got them we'll check the time and maybe we'll stop for a snack then." Jamie looked ecstatic about this and Kian nodded happily. Jason emerged from the back room with Madame Malkin and the boy skirted round the Malfoy children to stand with his honorary cousins.

"Dad? I'm having some trouble here with the bags. Can someone else carry…" Kai held the bags awkwardly in his hands whilst trying to get his folded stick out of his pocket.

"I'll take them Kai," Elly offered cheerfully, "That one's got my dress in it. I can't wait to wear it, my friends are going to be so jealous of me for once, me! They'll all want one but they can't have one 'cause it's magic!"

"But you can't-" Draco began but his daughter carried on.

"But I can't tell them because magic is a secret. I know Daddy, I am six." Hermione hid a smile behind her hand. Elly took the bags cheerfully from Kai, allowing the blind boy to get ready to go.

"Sorry sweetheart. Well everyone, say goodbye to Harry, Ron and Hermione. And their children," Draco ordered gently.

"And nephew," Ron said quickly before he could stop himself.

"And Ron and Hermione's nephew."

"Bye, it was nice to sort of meet you even though we didn't talk," Elly said cheerfully to the adults, "And we're not diseased you know!" That was to the Weasley and Potter children who were still keeping their distance.

"See yah," Jamie muttered as he and Elly went to the door of the shop.

"Bye," Kian waved and followed them, taking Jamie's hand calmly.

"See you at Hogwarts and it was nice to meet you," Kai said politely looking in their vague direction as Draco took his hand. Draco himself didn't say farewell, merely nodded his goodbyes and received nods in return before with one last look at Jason he led his children out of the shop and up the alley.

"Well…" Hermione said quietly once they were gone, "He's changed."

"So have we all Hermione," Harry sighed, "But he's still my-" he stopped himself with a wince, "The same Draco too." Hermione was going to say something more when the door was flung open and George rushed into the shop, closely followed by his wife Alicia.

"Was that Malfoy we saw leaving here!?!" he demanded.
