Chapter 7: What Doesn't Kill Me, Makes Me Stronger
Narcissa looked up as she felt the presence of the men standing in the doorway of her sitting room. She smiled at Mind Healer De Clair and let him examine Harry, who was still in shock, crying and was still blaming himself. The Mind Healer gently handed a Calming Draught to the younger man and waited patiently for him to drink it before questioning him.
"Harry, are you all right to answer some questions for us?" He asked gently as the two blond men entered the room. Lucius sat next to his wife but Draco remained closer to the door. He wasn't sure on how Harry would react at the moment. The Mind Healer sensed this and turned to Harry.
"Harry, are you all right with Draco sitting next to you?" The younger man nodded and Draco took the seat, gently taking Harry's hands in his. Harry looked down and saw that Draco's right hand was red on the knuckles and a bit bruised.
"Draco, how did you know?" He asked softly. "Not that I'm not grateful, I am. But I...."
"Maple came and got me." The blond said. "I was also in Diagon Alley, getting what I needed for my new teaching position come September. Luckily she did and I was able to get to you in time. I don't know what I'd do if he'd...." Draco's jaw clenched as well as his fists, his eyes shut as he tried to calm himself from flying into rage. He was startled when he heard Harry's gasp of shock. Draco's eyes flew open and he saw that his hands were once again deep emerald green and silver scaled and wickedly clawed. Lucius quirked an eyebrow, his mother was surprised but there were more pressing matters.
"Draco darling calm yourself, it will do Harry nor the children any good if you fly into a raging fit." Draco turned to his mother, dragon eyes looking into hers before returning to normal. He knew she was right and calmed. He gave Harry a gentle smile and despite his shock, Harry returned it.
"I was leaving Gringotts, I was so excited to go back and tell you that I've found a new home for me and the children. Then I saw Roger. He blamed me for Ginny not being with him, because she's being held in Azkaban until the trial. I tried to reason with him but that didn't work. Oh Merlin Draco if you hadn't....." He collapsed into Draco's arms, the blond holding him protectively. Lucius looked at his wife and quirked an eyebrow again. She sighed then nodded, Lucius holding her hand, offering her his support.
"Harry, you and I have more in common than you realize, just like Draco has something in common with his father. I haven't spoken this to anyone, for the memory was too painful. I was newly betrothed to Lucius when I was assaulted and almost raped. It was the older Lestrange brother, Rodolphus. He wanted me for himself but I was already promised to another. I knew that he had a twisted crush for me since our fourth year. He grew furious at my refusing him that he threw me down and tried to....well let's just say that if Lucius hadn't come when he did that I would be ruined." Harry understood that completely, he thought the same about Draco. Lucius comforted his wife. He knew that even after all these years that the memories of her attack was still painful, the wound went deeper when her sister married the very man who attacked her. Being around the man was a living nightmare for Narcissa, to having to put up with him because of her sister was torture. Draco was thankful that Harry was an only child. But with what Davis jr and the She Weasel had done, they would never see Harry again.
"Well, what happens now? Harry can't be in the courtroom....."
"Who says I can't?"
"Harry, it'll be too soon for you to...." Draco began but Lucius cut him off.
"What do you want to do Mr. Potter?"
"I want to fight." Harry said. "I'm tired of feeling helpless. Honestly the war was the only time I really felt useful..."
"Harry, you are useful. You have four, maybe someday, five little reasons to fight and be strong for." Draco said. "It will be a hard path but you will get through this and we are all here to help you." The two older Malfoys and the Mind Healer nodded. There was a tap at the window and Lucius went to get it. It was. The Chief Warlock's owl. He broke the seal and read. He smirked at the contents.
"Mr. Potter," He began in his infamous drawl, " How soon would you like the battles to begin?"
"The sooner the better." Harry said. "I want this over and done with."
"The beginning of next week say ten o'clock?" Lucius asked with a smirk. Harry regarded the older blonde with a smirk of his own.
"Perfect."
"I admire your spirit of vengeance Mr. Potter, I will make the proper arrangements." Lucius said with his infamous smirk, leaving the others to themselves to make the arrangements. Draco remained with Harry while Narcissa excused herself, giving Harry a motherly hug before leaving to check on the children. Mind Healer De Clair looked at the younger men and nodded.
"You two will be just fine. Just support each other and be there for each other. You will get through this. Harry, I'll see you at our next session. No need Draco, I'll see my way out." The younger men watch the Mind Healer leave, biding him goodnight. When the flames died died down, Draco and Harry sat in silence. They didn't need any words. They were all they needed at the moment.
Harry sighed and rested his head on the blond's shoulder, thinking about everything that had happened. He had been too trusting from the start. All because he wanted to get away from his relatives. When he learned about the Wizarding World, he saw it as an escape. What he didn't know was that by entering the Wizarding world, he had gone from the frying pan into the fire. In the Muggle World, he had been safe, had been normal. In the Wizarding World, he was like a beacon in the storm, bold and bright. He remembered refusing the blond because he had believed him a spoiled little snot who kissed Daddy's ass. He refused Slytherin because he was told that they were evil. He went through a seven year hell because it was expected of him. Ironically, the only ones who didn't treat him with "kid gloves" as Lucius put it, were the Malfoys and Snape. They cared, in their own unique and tough way but they did. But with their way, they made him stronger. Yes he had the love of those who stayed loyal to him and his family but the snakes had helped him on his way to greatness. He allowed himself a small laugh. It was as the Sorting Hat said. Draco, who was resting his head on top of Harry's looked down at him quirking an eyebrow.
"The Sorting Hat was right, I should've gone to Slytherin like it wanted me to. But, I asked it, no, pleaded for it not to because of my blind prejudices." At this, the blond's eyes widened. He knew that that his beloved was supposed to be in Slytherin but he had no idea that Harry actually asked to be placed elsewhere. This was a pleasant surprise for him but it explained a lot.
"Things happen for a reason Love, and sometimes, they can not be explained. All we can do is make the best with what we know and learn from it. What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger." Harry looked at Draco and nodded in agreement. There was no arguing that. Again, the blond was right and he was living proof of that. He squeezed Draco's hands with his own and smiled.
"Thank you Draco, for always being there not only for me but for my children as well. Its high time I fight again. I may be down but Im not out just yet." He got to his feet and kissed Draco's cheek. "Thank you for giving me another reason to fight for." With that said, the determination and inner fire that had Draco falling in love with him all over again clear in his beautiful emerald eyes, Harry retired for the night, leaving the blond to smile into the flames of the warm fire.

There will be more. Sorry I took so long.
