Chapter 9: Anniversary!
Harry woke slowly, his emerald green eyes sliding open unwillingly. It was far to early in the morning to be awake. He frowned, what the hell had woken him up then? Looking around he realized that the bed was empty and cold, hinting that Draco hadn’t been there in awhile. He could hear some odd banging noises in the kitchen and was slightly concerned. As much as he loved his husband he sucked at fixing things, even with magic to aid him. Groaning, the tall man dragged himself out of bed and into his chair. Pulling a shirt on and forgoing pants, since he was wearing boxers he guided himself into the kitchen.
“Wassgoingon?” He slurred tiredly, suppressing a yawn as he glanced around. Draco whirled around, he had been in the middle of hanging a large sign that said ‘Happy Three Years’. He blushed and looked at his tired husband sheepishly.
“Happy Anniversary Love!” He said, climbing down from the table and kissing Harry on the cheek.
“Ah, so that’s why you’re making that god awful racket so early in the morning” Harry teased, a bit more awake now.
“Thanks Dray, and Happy Anniversary to you too” He said, pulling his husband down for a passionate kiss. Groaning, Draco pressed his tongue forward, carefully nudging Harry’s lips open as the two battled for dominance within Harry’s mouth. Eventually Draco won and Harry relaxed into the kiss, letting his husband explore every part of his mouth with his talented tongue.
“Mmm, now it’s happy” Dray said, slipping away from Harry, slightly breathless from the intensity of the kiss.
Harry laughed, nodding his head in agreement as he pushed himself forward, stopping once he reached the table.
“So are we doing anything today?” Harry asked, Dray normally planned their anniversaries or other important things, the blonde seemed to enjoy it and Harry was fine with letting him take control in that manner.
“I was thinking we’d take today and just relax and then go to Chateau Noir for dinner, and then perhaps to my parents house?” Draco suggested.
“Sure, but why you’re parents house?” Harry asked as Mipsy served a hearty breakfast of eggs, bacon and waffles smothered in strawberries.
“They have a present for us and want us to spend the night, if that’s okay?” Draco asked, smiling his thanks at the house elf.
“Sure I guess, I don’t have a problem with it. Do you have practice today?” It was a Saturday and Dray normally had practices during the weekend.
“Yea, but its a short one, I’ll be back with plenty of time to get ready for dinner” Draco reassured. Harry nodded, that gave him time to work on his gift for Dray. He hadn’t known what to buy the blonde since he had bloody everything, so he and Narcissa had come up with a fantastic idea, he just needed to finish it now.
“See you later love” Draco called, before apparating away, leaving Harry in the kitchen for the time being.
“Bye” Harry called, before heading towards the study, a sturdy wicker basket positioned on his lap, courtesy of Mipsy.
Sitting in the study, Harry leaned on his desk, carefully placing the pictures he had found in the photo album he had made for Draco. Photo albums had always been his most treasured presents since he was a child and had received the one of his parents from Hagrid. He wasn’t sure if Draco would like it, but it was the best he could think of. He’d gotten a bunch of family pictures of Narcissa as well as some of the pictures he had been in during school and now he was carefully placing them in the album. It was an album of Draco’s life, with himself inter mixed in occasionally, showing their relationship and how it progressed. He was still awed by the fact that he had been with his husband for three years, Draco was an amazing man and he truly felt blessed to be cared for and loved by someone like him.
Smiling, Harry carefully pasted a picture from their wedding day on the last page, it was full-sized and animated like all wizarding pictures. It showed the grooms seated at the head table, Harry was laughing at something Ron had said and Draco was watching him, a proud smile on his aristocratic face. It was one of Harry’s favorite pictures since it was a ‘candid’ shot, no one was posing, just relaxing and having a good time. Hermione even had food on her face, though Harry would never show her the picture because she’d flip.

Draco smiled at Oliver Wood, “You sure its ready?” He asked, holding the broom in his hands.
“Yupp, it has the appropriate cushioning charms, and these will hold his legs in place” He pointed at a few straps on the leg supportes of the broom. “The cushioning charms are set up in such a way that Harry won’t overbalance and fall, though this broom primarily depends on upper body strength, which I know your husband has lots of” Wood laughed, “Good luck Draco and thanks for asking for our help. You’ve opened up a whole new market for us” He added, “I hope Harry agrees to be our spokeswizard” He mused.
“I’m sure he will, if the broom works” Draco said, shrinking the object and placing it in a fancily decorated box.
“I’m sure I’ll see you on the pitch soon Oliver, Harry will want to try this out as soon as possible” He added, shaking the man’s hand heartily.
“No problem Draco, see you soon. Good game against South Africa by the way” The ex. Gryffindor Captain called as he turned and apparated away.
Smirking, Draco also apparated away heading to his parents house before heading home to pick up his husband. He intended to surprise Harry, which was why he was leaving the broom with his father for the time being.

Draco arrived home a few hours before the couple intended to go our for dinner. He entered the house, asking Mipsy where he could find Harry.
“Master Harry is swimming, Flipsy is watching him” The elf responded while she took Draco’s coat and disappeared with a loud crack.
“Swimming?” Dray smiled, the pool had been a fantastic idea for Harry and his husband had taken to swimming like a fish took to water.
“Hey love” He called out, settling himself down in a patio chair and dismissing the house elf who’d been keeping an eye on Harry.
“Hey Dray” Harry beamed at his husband as he hauled himself out of the water. Already his muscles were more defined from swimming and his legs, despite being unable to move them, were looking a bit stronger just from using the water to strengthen his muscles.
“Having fun?” Draco asked, helping Harry dry off and settle himself in his chair.
“Yea, it’s nice being able to do something physical everyday like this” He gestured towards the pool. “It’s a brilliant idea” He said, kissing his husband soundly as Draco pushed him down the hall towards the bedroom.
“I know love, I’m glad you like it so much” Draco said, shutting the bedroom door behind the pair and heading to the closet, “What do you want to wear tonight?” He asked Harry, as he began to lie clothing out on the bed.
“Maybe my green dress shirt with some black pants?” Harry suggested, heading into the washroom to shower since he didn’t want to smell of chlorine for their date.
Dray looked critically at the mentioned outfit before nodding, Harry was slowly developing a fashion sense.

“That was fantastic” Harry murmured, pushing his empty plate away. This restaurant was quickly becoming a favorite of his.
“I agree” Dray murmured sipping the last of his wine as he gestured for the bill.
“So now we’re heading to your parents?” Harry asked, wondering if they’d be spending the night there.
“Yes love, I thought we’d spend the night and tomorrow with them since they leave for Greece on Monday” His husband responded, reaching across the table to caress Harry’s hand.
“Sounds fine to me” Harry said, he enjoyed spending time at the Manor and he knew he’d miss Lucius and Narcissa when they went away on their vacation.
Draco paid the bill and guided his husband from the restaurant to an apparation point.
“Here we go” Dray teased, scooping Harry up and apparating them to the Manor. The entire building was light up beautifully and the familiar white peacocks were strutting about as if they owned the bloody place.
“Bloody birds” Draco grumbled, shaking his head as he pushed Harry past them. He had never understood why his mother had wanted them so bad.
“Their pretty” Harry defended the white birds.
“Their a pain in the ass” Draco countered as he pushed Harry up the path and into the house.
“Harry, Draco Happy Anniversary” Narcissa called out as the couple made their way into the family room.
“Thanks you Mum” Draco said as Harry blushed and muttered a thank you as well.
“We’re so happy you agreed to stay and spend some time with us before we leave” The woman said, embracing both of her sons as Lucius did the same.
“Thank you for having us” Harry said as Draco helped him from his chair and onto the comfortable couch. He was relieved that Narcissa and Lucius didn’t stare, some people did when Dray helped him and he found it exceedingly embarrassing .
“How was your day?” Narcissa asked once Harry was settled and leaning comfortably against his husband.
“It was lovely, I had practice so Harry did some swimming and then we went to Chateau Noir for dinner” Draco said, smiling lightly.
“How is it there? We’ve been meaning to go” Lucius asked, smiling at his sons.
“The food’s fantastic” Harry said, looking slightly breathless as he launched into a full-blown explanation about the restaurant, the food and the service.
“Sounds like a place we’ll have to go” Lucius commented to his wife as he held her hand, stroking his thumb over her fingers for a moment. Narcissa nodded, “Would you like anything to drink?” The woman asked, ever the perfect host.
“Some water maybe?” Harry said, he rarely indulged in alcohol, though Draco was known to have a few drinks here and there.
“Wine?” Draco asked, looking at his father curiously. Nodding, Lucius summoned a house elf and Narcissa placed the various orders.
“Well, how about we get to the exciting point of the evening?” Narcissa teased.
“Presents?” Dray asked, looking every inch the excited six year old he could behave like at times.
“Of course, when have we ever denied you Dragon?” Narcissa said, producing an envelope from her sleeve.
“Here you go” She said handing it to the boys, “This is from both of us” She added as Draco opened the envelope excitedly.
“Are you serious?” Harry asked, gaping in awe at the statement on the folded parchment.
“Yes, we’re going to Italy for Christmas, the four of us. It’s all arranged” Lucius said as Draco launched himself off of the chair and hugged his parents tightly. Harry was unable to get up, though he smiled his thanks brilliantly.
“My turn?” Harry asked, looking at his excited husband once he sat down.
“Please?” Dray begged, turning puppy dog eyes on Harry. Laughing, Harry pulled the photo album from his pocket and tapped it with his wand.
“I didn’t know what to get you Dray, since you seem to already have everything” he said, drawing a laugh from his in-laws. “So, instead I made you something with the help of your Mother” He said, handing him the book. Draco took it carefully, opening it to admire the pictures. Underneath each image was a caption written in Harry’s messy but legible scrawl.
“Thank you love” He said gently, “This is incredible” He added, pulling Harry to him for a hug and a light kiss, since they were in company of course.
“You’re welcome Dray” Harry said, greatly relieved that his husband liked the present.
Draco grinned at Harry, producing a green and silver box from his pocket.
“Ever the Slytherin” Harry teased as he took the box and carefully opened it up. He looked down at the mminiature broom in confusion.
“A broom model?” He asked, picking it up carefully.
“Nope” Dray laughed, taking the broom and tapping it with his wand. Soon the broom was once again full sized.
“Dray, is this..?” Harry trailed off, running trembling hands over the wood.
“Yupp” His Husband responded, grinning at him.
“Oliver and I just finished it, its the first one” He added, “Oliver’s hoping you’ll help promote it, after you try it out of course” He explained as Harry continued to admire the broom, his broom.
“T-thank you Dray” Harry said, completely awed by the gift. “Thank you so much” He said, tears glistening in his eyes. He had thought he’d never be able to fly again, and now he had a broom of his very own.
“On Monday we’ll go to the pitch and test it out” Draco said, smiling at Harry. Narcissa was dabbing her eyes with a napkin as Lucius hugged her, both were touched by the scene in front of them.
