Draco waited impatiently for his Mother to finish packing her things. The school term started tomorrow and he was going to finally see his beloved.
"Dragon, why are you dragging your feet? Let's go!" He rolled his eyes at her before grabbing her arm. You could only apparate in and out of the Swamp, a security measure one of the ancestors added in. They left with a pop and appeared at the Manor. He could hear feet pounding on the ground and his Father appeared.
"My family!" He shouted before he tackled them both in a hug. Draco took a moment to hug his Father back before he was pushing him off.
"Where's Harry?" His Father opened his mouth before catching sight of the scar on his face.
"Merlin darling, what happened?" He cried out, reaching to trace the scar under his eye. It ended halfway down his cheek in a straight line.
"It's nothing, Father. Where's Harry?" He repeated and his Mother started giggling from his side.
"Draco was daydreaming about Harry and tripped! He landed in one of the sentient bushes and it did not appreciate him falling on it!" He blushed and walked away.
"Well Mother was raving about you to Dave and he tried to pull his ears off!" He yelled back before continuing to the floo. It was still early in the morning so Harry might still be in bed.
"Grimmauld Place!" He shouted out and let the floo take him to his beloved. He heard voices once he stepped out of the floo and ran toward the kitchen. He found his godfather and Lord Black kissing over a pile of pancakes.
"Little Malfoy! You're back. How wonderful that Matilda didn't eat you." Lord Black said sarcastically and he ignored him.
"Where's Harry?"
"Hello Draco. We're happy to see you. Harry is in his ro-" he didn't let his Uncle finish before leaving. He took the stairs two at a time and was in front of Harry's door. The snakes eyed him before he said "Harry is the cutest boy in the world." Since he couldn't speak Parseltongue to open it, Harry had told the snakes to always let him in if he said his secret password. The stone door creaked open and he stepped forward. Harry was brushing his hair in the mirror and hissing to Snappy. His son had grown since he had been gone. He was now the size of a corgi, his scales gleaming in the morning light. Harry stopped suddenly before turning around. He stared at him like he had seen a ghost. Draco took this time to gaze at his beloved. His cheek bones had gotten sharper and his hair hung down his back. He couldn't help his sappy smile. His darling looked lovely like always.
"Draco?" He whispered before flinging himself at him. Draco easily caught him and hugged him tightly. Harry smelled like wildflowers and Draco buried his head in his hair.
"You're back! I've missed you so much." Harry kept talking and he picked him up before setting him on his bed. They spent the next two hours cuddling with Snappy between them and Harry told him all about his summer. He was going to murder his Father if he didn't have pictures of their fashion show. He couldn't believe he had missed it!
"-and then Sirius proposed!" He finished and smiled brightly at him before flushing.
"Your scar looks very charming." He said shyly and Draco puffed up his chest.
"Thank you, darling. I got in a fight with a sentient tree! I was afraid it was going to get the best of me but I thought of you and I managed to overcome it!" He bragged and Harry looked at him with stars in his eyes. He was so happy to finally be by Harry's side, where he belonged.
~~~~~~
Sirius glared at the snake door. He had been trying to guess the password for over thirty minutes! He had tried knocking but the door was solid stone. No sound was going in or out. He grimaced as he tried not to imagine what his precious baby boy was doing with Malfoy. The boy had come back with long hair and a scar! He hated to admit it but Draco looked so cool.
"Love, leave them alone. They're catching up!" Sev said as he dragged him away.
"I was just going to offer them a snack! Harry missed breakfast." He pouted and Severus gave him a kiss.
"He'll be fine. He's already thirteen."
"Don't remind me! He'll be an adult in four years." He thunked his head on the table and sighed. Feet pounded down the stairs and the boys finally appeared. Harry was wearing a skort with one of his old band tees tucked into it. His hair was in two pigtails with butterfly clips haphazardly placed all over. He looked so adorable!
"Hi papa! Hi father!" He said and his smile was so bright, Sirius couldn't stay mad at Draco. Harry had been lost without the other boy.
"Harbear! Look how cute you look. Since Draco is back, why don't we go shopping?" He offered and Harry gave a squeal.
"We can look at the snakes! I think Bubbles wants a mate!" Harry announced and Severus dropped the knife he was using to cut up some fruit for him.
"Uh love, do you think a basilisk can reproduce with a regular snake?" Severus asked and Harry seemed to think about it before shrugging.
"Only one way to find out!" A hiss came from underneath the table and the goggle wearing snake slithered up the leg.
"Absolutely not! No snakes on the table!" He said sharply and the little menace hissed back.
"Bubbles, Harry won't save you! Down." The snake hissed some more before flopping on the ground and wandering off. He knew the bugger could understand him! Harry was blushing and avoiding his gaze.
"Pup, what's wrong?" He fumbled with his snack before saying "Bubbles said it's rude he can't be on the table because he's seen what you and father do on it." Draco immediately pushed Harry's plate away before scooping him up and backing out of the room.
"Dobby! Take this table outside and burn it!"
"I told you that the snake was a pervert!" He wailed, his face just as red as Harry's.
~~~~~~
Harry tightened his hand in Draco's. He seemed to have grown three inches over the summer and his hair brushed his chin. He could see everyone they passed giving his beloved a second glance. He stared at him from the corner of his eye and sighed. It wasn't his fault that he looked like Achillies. His skin was a pretty golden color from being out in the sun and his scar made him look dangerous. Puberty was hitting him hard and he had never been so enamored with someone. Hermione said it was because his hormones were out of control but he wanted to snog Draco senseless.
"Are you okay, my heart?" Harry couldn't resist giving him a quick kiss when Sirius wasn't looking.
"I'm just so happy we're together again." Draco grinned widely and a random girl walked into a pole.
"Me too. The days were so long without you. I thought I was going to die." Before Harry could respond, a voice called out "Draco, is that you?" They both turned to see Daphne Greengrass strolling over, her younger sister getting dragged along. She gave a wolf whistle and said "Merlin Draco, you look stunning! I think I'm going blind looking at both of you. Hogwarts Power Couple will be breaking hearts all over this year!" Draco rolled his eyes at her announcement before asking "How's Ginny? Harry told me you've been trying to woo her." She gave a soft smile and Astoria whispered "she's been sending her gifts and love letters every day!" Daphne put her in a headlock and said "mind your own business, Tori!" Harry giggled as the two sisters continued to fight.
"Harry!" A mass of red hair slammed into him and Ginny swung him around.
"I love your outfit! Hi President! Wicked scar, you look like you should be on the cover of one of Herm's romance novels!" She opened her mouth before noticing Daphne.
"Hi babe! What are you doing here?" She leaned over and kissed her cheek. The pureblood girl practically melted on the spot, her eyes dreamy as she gazed at Ginny.
"I was just doing some last minute shopping. Would you like to accompany us?" Harry waved goodbye to the other girls. By the time they were done shopping, Harry was about to hex the next person who ogled at his husband. He didn't appreciate how their eyes raked over him. Draco was his and no one else had the right to look at him like that.
"Harry dove, your magic is out." Draco's voice had him blinking as he looked around. Papa, father and Draco were all looking at him in concern.
"Good." He said firmly.
"Are you upset, pup?" He glared at everyone around them before answering.
"Everyone keeps looking at Draco! I wouldn't mind because have you seen him? But they keep taking second or even third glances and it's getting on my nerves. Maybe my magic will scare them away." By the end of his rant, his voice had a hissy quality to it.
"Don't worry about them, darling. No one will ever be able to make me take my eyes off of you. You shine like the sun and you're all mine." He promised. Harry leaned forward to kiss him as father Severus gagged loudly in the background.
"Sev, make them stop kissing!"
~~~~~~
Viktor was happy to finally be back at school. He loved seeing his parents but his mother would only allow him to play Quidditch five hours a day! That was not enough time to hone his skill! He wouldn't be able to be the number one seeker in the world if he could only practice twenty five percent of the day. It was a ridiculous rule but he would never go against her. His mother was a formidable woman and Viktor wasn't an idiot. He unpacked his bag before leaving his dorm. He didn't really have any friends at Durmstrang but he didn't really care. He was here to learn magic until he could be drafted by a team. He walked towards the dining hall and started eating his stew. The Headmaster didn't appreciate loud noises so the students spoke quietly around themselves. Viktor personally thought Karkaroff was a scumbag who shouldn't be allowed to teach children but that was his opinion. As he dipped his bread into his bowl, the door was thrown open and a blonde girl stepped through. Her hands were on fire. He blinked before looking closely. Yup, her hands were still on fire.
"I am looking for Viktor Krum. Is he here?" Her voice was as cold as the temperature outside and he quickly ducked in his seat. All of the students turned to stare at him and he sighed. This is what he gets for ignoring them. They throw him to the wolves without hesitation.
"Hello, I am Viktor. Can I help you?" Her eyes trailed over him before she sneered.
"You cannot have him." She announced and stalked forward. He shoved more stew in his mouth before asking "who?"
"My love, Ron. I will not let you take him from me." He glanced at his Headmaster and saw the idiotic man was already too drunk to help.
"I don't know a Ron?" That seemed to enrage the girl more as her hands burned brighter.
"Are you saying my love is forgettable?" She screeched and started throwing actual fire balls at him. Fucking hell! How did this happen to him? He grabbed his bowl and dodged her attack.
"No! I don't know anyone named Ron!" He said around another mouthful of stew. He wasn't going to let her ruin his dinner!
"Then why did he say he had a crush on you?" She hissed, her nails dragging along the wall and leaving gashes behind. He couldn't help but be impressed with her dedication to this unknown boy.
"Ah not to interrupt you, Feuerwehrfrau but Viktor gets fan mail. Perhaps your geliebt meant he just really liked him." A vaguely familiar boy said. She paused before saying "So you are not try to steal him away from me?" Viktor snorted and said "Merlin no, I'm sure he's a lovely lad but I'm focused on my career."
"Hmm I see. I would apologize but Draco said you should never apologize for defending your other half." She explained and grabbed a bowl of stew before sitting down. He slowly joined her before choking on his next bite as her words caught up to him.
"Draco? As in Draco Malfoy?" Merlin, he should've known the other boy had something to do with this! He knew he would have a fit over his letter but he didn't think he would send an irate Veela after him.
"Oui, I am a part of the HFC." She said proudly and flipped her hair over her shoulder.
"Ah, Harry has told me about his club!"
"You know "Arry? My pater is his uncle so he is basically my younger brother." She cut a piece of bread off the loaf and toasted it on her hands. He watched in envy. The Headmaster forbade any of them to light the fireplaces unless it was for their school work. She noticed his gaze and gave him a slice. Maybe she wasn't so bad! As he crunched on his toast, he continued "Ah! Harry told me he was going to a wedding this summer. Congratulations." She smiled at him and one the boys next to him blurted out "I'm going to be the next Minster!" Viktor gave him an odd look.
"What are you talking about? Your father is a sheep herder!" He had overheard the other boy bragging about how warm he was from all the wool his family collected from their herd. The girl stood up and said "I should get going. Thank you for the meal." He scrambled up and asked "what's your name?"
"Fleur Delacour. If I catch you sniffing around my darling Ron, I will feast on your still beating heart." She threatened and he gasped.
"That was wicked! I have goosebumps! Maybe we can write to each other? I always need ideas for trash talking other teams on the pitch." She gave him a considering look before agreeing. After she left, he noticed she had toasted the rest of the loaf. What a wonderful girl!
