Chapter-7
An understanding
The operation was successful. The baby has been transferred inside him. Potter had not protested. He had sulked a bit but other than that, he hadn't put a fight. Currently, they were sitting in Draco's room. Draco is on the bed and Severus is sitting on a chair in front of the bed whereas Potter is standing by the window, looking outside.
It's difficult to empathize with Potter, especially when the boy doesn't even speak to Draco.
"Now that this is done, we must talk about the dark lord. We must destroy him and his army soon. They are multiplying. He is in your manor Draco and has access to dangerous artifacts." Severus murmurs and Draco nods absently. His attention is on Potter right now. He wonders what the boy must be going through.
"Severus, can you please leave for a bit. I need to talk to Potter." Draco mutters. Potter doesn't acknowledge that he has even heard. Draco wonders if Potter is paying any attention to anything at all.
"Okay. Send your elf to call me. I am in my lab." Severus murmurs and leaves them alone. Draco stands up and walks towards Potter. He leans against the opposite side of the window and stares at him. Potter is staring outside, his eyes not even blinking.
"Potter." Draco murmurs. Potter doesn't respond.
"Potter." Draco tries a bit loudly. Potter stirs a bit and blinks before answering him, "Yes." His voice is resigned, defeated.
"I am not taking your child away." Draco murmurs, his arms crossed. Potter taps the window sill quietly.
"I won't do so. Father is not a bad man. He is just complicated. He made many wrong choices in his life and he is suffering because of that." Draco says softly.
"You have always been scared of your father. You won't be able to stand up for me or the baby." Potter replies and Draco opens his mouth to say something. But he closes it back because yes he is scared of his father.
"Well, you can always accompany me when father is there and he will not be able intimidate me seeing that you are not scared of anyone. Perhaps you would influence me as well."
Potter stares at him, his jaw open in shock.
"What." Draco asks.
"You would allow me to accompany you."
"Yes. I can't let father's wrong decisions affect the child's life." Draco mutters as a matter of fact and looks at Potter. The boy is still staring at him.
"Okay." Potter murmurs, "We won't fight- I mean we won't literally fight. You will continue getting under my skin with your snobbishness so I can't promise not to quarrel with you." His eyes are calm now. The storm that had been brewing inside his green eyes has cooled down now.
"I am not a snob." Draco snaps at him, his eyes narrowed.
"You so are." Potter snickers at him, his eyes gleaming mischievously. Draco smiles quietly at him.
"So, what was dad saying? I didn't hear him." Potter asks him and he answers absently, "Something about finishing the dark lord. Ask the elves to call him back."
Potter can try to hide it as he walks towards the bed and sits down on the edge. He summons the elves and asks them to call Severus but he can't fool Draco. Draco can see the effect of the ordeal he had gone through. It's obvious in his eyes.
Draco thinks that he is right about Potter. Potter has never been with a man before. Draco wonders if Potter has ever had had a girlfriend even.
"What are you looking at?" Potter asks him, his voice deceptively calm, "I am not going to be your boyfriend or anything Malfoy."
"You are not over what happened in the manor, eh? You shouldn't try to hide it from me. I can see it in your eyes." Draco mutters and Potter upturns one corner of his lips and stares at him before muttering, "Can't be helped. Can't be changed. What's the point? I will have to make many more sacrifices."
"You won't need to. There has to be an easier way out of all this."
"There, in fact, is." The voice belongs to Severus. The man is on the entryway now.

Harry sighs and replies, "What do you mean?" He doesn't think there is any easier way to vanquish Voldemort and his death eaters. It's impossible to forget what he went through. It burns him and it makes him huddle in a corner of his room with his knees towards his chest.
He has never been in a relationship. He doesn't think that he wants to be in one.
"We can burn the manor with Voldemort and his most loyal death eaters inside it. It will be the end of it. But we will require Lucius's permission for this. He is the lord of the manor. There are dangerous artifacts in the manor and no-one must have them." Dad mutters gravely.
Harry stares at him and so does Malfoy.
Harry wants to argue with dad but Malfoy beats him to it, "Father would never agree."
"That is why we are going to meet him today in Azkaban."
Harry stares at him, shell-shocked.
"Why do I have to go?" Harry asks him. Dad stares at him for a few moments, his eyes grave and his lips pinched together.
Harry looks at Malfoy. The boy is still so shocked that he is staring speechlessly at dad.
"He will try to intimidate Draco."
Harry huffs in annoyance before answering him, "All right. Let's go then. The sooner the better."
Both dad and Malfoy stare after he utters the words. He stares back before muttering, "I need to vent my fury out and he is a bastard."
"Potter, don't talk like this about my father." Malfoy snarls at him.
"Calm down Malfoy. You don't want to hurt the baby by screaming senselessly at me."
They scowl at each other for a few moments, that is, before dad snarls at them, "Stop this nonsense. We are leaving for Azkaban immediately."
