Summary: Non-Epilogue compliant post-Battle of Hogwarts fic. WWW Partner Harry Potter is attacked by unknown persons and left for dead. He creates a portkey to take himself, Andromeda and Teddy to a place of Safety. Single parent Draco Malfoy is living quietly out of the politics of the Post-Second Wizarding war. Together can they give each other the happiness they've been missing?

A/N: Part of the same universe as Baiting of Rose and Flashpoint which are sequels of sorts. Hopefully, this chapter answers questions as to why Harry is bothering with Ginny or her child. Even if the child's conception was his fault...

Chapter 8

Narcissa Malfoy…Narcissa Prince rather maybe grieving for her beloved Severus but finding out that her son had adopted the unborn illegitimate child of a Weasley disgusted her.

Harry was somewhere in the manner meeting with the goblin in charge of his estate.

She summoned an elf to learn her son was in the nursery…

She made her way to the south wing and cornered him there.

Draco was nursing her grandson Scorpius and great-nephew Teddy. The elder babe was half werewolf…

"What are you thinking adopting a Weasley?" Narcissa snapped.

Draco sighed, not bothering to look up at her, "Mother I am legally the Head of the Malfoy family what I do is my business."

"I want an answer."

"Very well, you shall have one. The Weaslette and her family owe Harry a life debt. To pay it he has agreed to take the child. Since the sire has no wish to take responsibility and the family wants nothing to do with her he took in the child. Probably because he grew up unwanted himself and didn't wish such a fate on an innocent child. I have no plans to make the child a Malfoy; they will either be a Potter or a Black. Since few would want anything to do with her and her family has practically cast her off, Harry is going to arrange a residence for Weaslette. As long as it is not in a family seat and I don't have to see her I have no objections. Officially, Harry is taking her into keeping as a mistress but is foreswearing her bed and company. She shall be allowed to finish her school but she will be warded the chosen residence with few prescribed visitors." Draco shrugged.

"Why have you agreed to this madness? I understand that he is giving your son legitimate status and is bonding to you but this is going too far."

"The baby is an innocent child mother. The same as Teddy, he has done no wrong and yet lost his parents. He needs to be fed and my milk is adjusting well, Aunt Andromeda has prescribed potions to increase my milk flow. I won't starve him, he's suffered an abandonment that can't be fixed but we can give him a home and a family. We've agreed to raise these three children as our own, as well as any more we are lucky enough to have. I won't treat them differently; they deserve a family and parents. I would like it if you would at least give the appearance of equal treatment. You may prefer my children if you must but at least mask it so that none might guess that we are less then a strong family." Draco said still refusing to look at her.

"You are mature enough to give me reasonable explanations for such distasteful choices. I shall abide by your wishes my son." Narcissa inclined her head and left the nursery, still dismayed

XoooooX

Harry was meeting in one of the Manor's libraries with a goblin named Rinak, "So this is the latest on my estates?"

"Yes."

"I want to have a property set aside for the Weasley girl. Nothing too fancy."

"Well there is the list of Properties owned by each."

There were multiple properties own in Godric's Hallow, Somerset.

Potter Hall

Ivy Cottage

Which was where he was born and his parents died…it was apparently once rented to the Dumbledores.

Lavender Vale which had burned was a Black Property a small house once belonging to Alphard Black.

There was also a house called Faire Fields.

In Upper Flagley, Yorkshire was Baskerville Hall once known as Grimsby.

In Wales there was a Black Property called Wisteria Meadows once the residence of Cygnus Black and the birth place of Andromeda and Narcissa.

The Blacks had a few castles in various places that had fallen into disrepair and one large former manor in Dartmoor, Devonshire called Grimpound.

The Potter also had a large home in Dorset called Laude Abbey.

He wanted to place her somewhere not very ostentatious…

No family seat…

Placing her in Wisteria Meadows might lead to trouble since he had a feeling that neither Black sister would approve.

Grimmauld Place was not an option either.

Given the loss of Lavender Vale at some point Andromeda might wish for a place of her own…

He summoned an elf with the snap of his fingers.

"How might Stria be helping Master Harry?"

"Please fetch Andromeda for me. I need her advice."

The elf nodded and disappeared.

Teddy's grandmother arrived swiftly, "You requested my presence?"

"I am searching for a place to stow Ginny in and also to select a new home for you if you want one. Especially in light of the destruction of Lavender Vale…" Harry said

"I have no desire to return my parent's home, it was not a happy place and I find even these many years past that I am not fond of it. Nor do I wish to live in Grimmauld. If it must be a Black Property I suppose that I could take Uncle Alphard's primary residence, it was originally Grimsby before Sirius renamed it after a place in a Muggle book."

Harry nodded, "Very well. I will have Grimsby registered as your home. Do you think that Draco's mother might like Wisteria?"

"I have no idea. She was never happy here or as Lucius' reluctant wife. If she wishes to leave this place then she may or may not wish to live in a Malfoy Property. However, I know little of my sister's mind for we still do not talk. We share a roof and meals but that is all." Andromeda shrugged.

"With Bellatrix gone can you not bury the hatchet?" Harry frowned.

"I know not, for Teddy's sake I would like to since he'll be raised her grandson. Teddy does deserve to have two parents, at my age I would prefer to be a mere grandmother rather then a parent. I don't wish to be Augusta Longbottom." Andromeda tossed her chestnut hair.

"At least try? I'd rather not be living in a place fraught with tension. It's like visiting The Burrow with serious undercurrents." Harry scowled.

Andromeda winced, "I will make an attempt but I can't guarantee it will do any good."

Harry nodded, "That is all I can ask. I know she has a choice of Prince Properties as the legal spouse of the previous Lord Prince. If she has any interest in a Black Property I will allow her a choice."

"I would grant her Faire Fields. It isn't a large place, a little bigger then Lavender Vale. It has two floors rather then one. It is in Godric's Hallow which is in Somerset as you know. It is not so near Devon where Ottery St. Catchpole lies." Andromeda advised.

"I shall make the arrangements to have Faire Fields prepared for her." Harry grinned, "Nothing to fancy, while on parchment she is my mistress I shall have little to do with her. It is only so that the Weasleys might wash their hands of her without worrying that she might engage in more embarrassing incidents and bring scandal on their heads. While Ron, Hermione and Mrs. Weasley have seemingly cut me off, I still care for the others. A pity that our friendship came with a qualifier that I must bond to Ginny. As if I should bond my blood and magic to such a slut. No, I am better off with Draco. I think in time the sexual attraction and convenience might grow into something stronger. I am more powerfully attracted to him then anyone else."

"I hope that you are right, I believe that the two of you have suffered plenty and I am most pleased that my nephew has the heart to allow his son to be milk brother to my grandson. It is rare to share one's milk; it proves that despite his previous choices that he has a good heart."

Harry grinned, "I sensed that without understanding when I saw him accept Teddy to feed him. Hearing the story of Scorpius' conception and Draco's struggles to be a good papa made me want to give him what he wanted most: acceptance. He needs someone to see beyond his mask, someone who can 'forgive' his bearing an illegitimate child. The choice wasn't his own; he was too far along by the time it was discovered. He could have given it up but he didn't. He deserves a chance to rise above his struggles and mistakes, legitimizing his son and proving he has worth in other matters will contribute to rebuilding his self esteem."

"You are a strange one Harry Potter."

Harry scowled, "I've always been different, sometimes difference can help you see in ways that other's won't. We owe one another life debts; I owe Draco for lying to Bellatrix when he knew it was me, I saved him from the Fiendfyre, his mother lied to Voldy that I was dead in exchange for my promise that Draco was safe. He's granted me rights to live here to pay his life debt for saving his life, to repay the debts to the Malfoy family I offered to legitimize his son and bond to him as a trial. As my bonded it will expose him more the public eye and he ought to not remain hiding behind the wards of the Manor. At some point he will have to grow a thick-skin and face the Wizarding World."

"True, Blacks have never been cowardly. He maybe a Malfoy but he is half-Black and he has that to live up to as well." Andromeda mused.

"Draco was spoilt and didn't have to deal with real danger. He wasn't used to having his will thwarted and when things got uncomfortable he could whinge to his father. His father is gone and no longer a shield against the world. He must learn to stand tall without his father. His mother has left the Malfoy family to join the Prince Family which he may see as a sort of abandonment. Narcissa may see that as a parent and the Head of the House of Malfoy that he no longer needs her. If Severus did leave seed that might allow for the continuation of his line after his death then she will be turning her affections to a new set of children which will increase the distance making him practically an orphan." Harry sighed, "Whether he has considered this or not I don't know."

"He has already erected a wall between them and is letting her go her own way. He is putting up a front that he needs her not." Andromeda sighed.

"Would it be my fault for showing up unannounced?" Harry frowned.

"I doubt it; I think that Narcissa is embarrassed by Draco's pregnancy and his illegitimate child. Perhaps guilt for her failure to protect him from Bella might also be a factor. Like I said previously, I have little knowledge of my sister's mind." Andromeda shrugged.

"We shall observe. With those choices notated, I believe that for now our business is concluded." Harry said addressing the goblin.

"Master Teddy Lupin-Black is to remain the heir to the House of Black?"

"Yes and temporarily, Scorpius Malfoy is to be considered heir to the House of Potter."

The goblin sneered, "Very well."

Harry had accepted the bonding contracts as well as the requested contract between him and Ginny, the whore.

That being settled satisfactorily Harry and the goblin parted.

XoooooX

After putting the boys down to nap after they were fed, Draco went to check his mail which was put in his study.

There were two large parcels and a smaller one from Quality Quidditch…

He tore them open to find two Firebolts and a professional level practice snitch.

Grinning he pocketed the ring sized box that held the snitch and picked up the two Firebolts and went to find Harry.

From his memories of Harry he'd come to the conclusion that it wasn't Quidditch that Harry loved but flying. Since he was worried that Harry's Firebolt had burned in his aunt's house, Draco had chosen to order two Firebolts and a snitch.

His father had put in a Quidditch pitch when he was old enough to have his own broom so Draco wanted to show it to Harry.

He found Harry walking with his aunt and talking.

Draco grinned nervously, "My apologies Aunt Annie but could I possibly borrow my betrothed?"

Andromeda looked from the pair of brooms to Harry and nodded, "very well. We can continue our conversation later. I have a promise to keep." She curtsied and left them alone."

"Tell me you didn't buy me a Firebolt." Harry frowned.

Draco sighed, "They are the best racing broom in the world, professional grade. We saw some of what they could do in the World Cup did we not? You owned one previously, I thought it might have been burnt. I wanted to fly on equal brooms for once." He fished the case with the snitch out, and tossed it at his fellow former seeker, "That too is professional grade. I thought we could go fly and forget everything for a while. It's been ages since I've been on a broom." He coughed, "The last time I was clinging to you and flying above the flames…"

"I haven't had time to fly." Harry said wistfully.

Draco held out one of the Firebolts, "Then will you fly with me? You have to miss it too. I haven't really flown since I left the Slytherin team our sixth year. Just a playful match, skill against skill for the fun of it?"

"How about the winner gets a kiss?" Harry teased.

Draco frowned, "You always beat me…"

"There aren't any Bludgers, no crowd to show off to, it's just us and the snitch. We're both out of practice so we should be more equal right?" Harry grinned.

"Well perhaps…" Draco mused.

Harry held out his hand, "Let's shake on it."

Shyly Draco took his hand, it was warm and it sent a series of shivers throughout his body.

Finally relinquishing each other's hand, Draco led Harry out to his pitch on the Manor's grounds…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?

Shanda - technically, Harry and Draco don't want Ginny to carry their children. It is merely a foil so that the Weasley family can wash their hands of her and not have to worry about her shaming them anymore. I have no plans for Ginny to bear any children beyond the one sired by Michael Corner. While Ginny is legally Harry's mistress, he is going to lock her up in a property and never see her as exhibited in this chapter. Technically, they really only want to give her unwanted daughter a family she can be proud of. Growing up unwanted is something that Harry can't stomach and he feels somewhat responsible because of the spell he cast on Ginny that made her conceive despite contraceptive charms. Her being locked up is mostly to prevent her from embarrassing her child farther should they learn of her existence. Her visitors will be carefully controlled. A surrogate is usually taken care off financially, which is why she is given a place to stay that isn't a Weasley or Prewett property. Harry will have her looked after by elves but anything else she wishes much be requested and family visits will have to be prearranged and allowed by Harry. Technically, you could say he's making her a nun because she is being made to live out of society and the wizarding world. I hope that helps...
