Draco was staying with Harry and his family for the summer. After Voldemort was killed, the Potters moved into Potter manor and, after months of convincing Lily, Sirius and Remus moved in too. Harry had woken up at about 2am to a wet feeling on his leg. At first he had panicked and though he'd wet the bed but after noticing he still had a dry crotch he decided to get up and turn the lights on dim. You see, Lily had gotten annoyed with having to use candles so got muggle lighting installed with dimmer switches. When he could see, he almost screamed at the sight. He had deep red blood on his upper thigh and hand where he'd touched it. He ran over to Draco to check for wounds but when he saw Draco's blood soaked boxers, everything made sense. Draco had started his period early. Harry sighed and gently shook Draco awake. His boyfriend's shocking grey eyes blinked open and he looked up at Harry still half asleep.
"Hazza, what's going on? 'M tired." Draco mumbled, closing his eyes again before sitting up, wide eyed and staring blankly at his crotch when he too felt the wetness.
"Fuck." Draco whispered, his voice straining from the sob rising in his throat.
"Hey, hey, it's okay. We'll just get you cleaned up and go into one of the spare bedrooms for the rest of the night and deal with this tomorrow. It's okay. Come on, let's get you cleaned up." Harry consoled him, helping him to stand up before leading his sobbing boyfriend into the ensuite. He started a shallow bath and waited for it to fill to where he wanted it before turning the taps off. He helped Draco undress and get into the tub before Draco took a sharp intake of breath.
"God, I'm sorry Haz." He apologised while looking at Harry's thigh.
"It's okay. I'll go get you some clothes and then I'll hop in the bath with you if that's okay." Harry told him, running his non bloody fingers through Draco's blonde hair. Draco nodded.
"I need some pads and stuff too." Draco told him before he left. Harry nodded and went to grab everything. He grabbed some of Draco's women's underwear as well as a pair of boxers, a sports bra and a large t-shirt for Draco and just a pair of boxers and a tank top for himself. He put them in a pile on top of the chest of drawers before exiting the room and going into his parent's bedroom. He gently shook his mum awake, who looked at him like he was crazy.
"Harry? What are you even doing awake? It's 2am for Merlin's sake!" She whisper shouted.
"Yeah, sorry. But Draco um, started his period early and he doesn't have like pads and stuff. So I was just wondering if you had any he could have. He's in the bath at the minute and we were gonna go sleep the rest of the night in one of the spare rooms and sort out the bed tomorrow. It kinda got everywhere. So he's pretty upset right now." Harry explained. Lily was up after he'd finished his first sentence.
"Poor boy. Is he okay?" She asked while going into her and James' bathroom to get things.
"he's just a bit shaken I think." Harry told her. She nodded and handed him a little bag of things before noticing the blood on his thigh and hand.
"You better hop in a shower yourself too Haz. Do you mind if I come see him? Just to check that he's alright." Lily said. Harry nodded and she followed him back to his ensuite, where Draco was just sitting in the water.
"Hey baby. Mum's just come to see you. Is that okay?" Harry asked. Draco nodded and looked up to Lily. He wasn't worried about her seeing him naked. He had asked her a lot of questions about female anatomy as his mother didn't like talking about it so he was pretty comfortable around her.
"Hey sweetheart. How you feeling?" She asked while running a gentle hand across his pale back. Draco shrugged.
"Hurts." He croaked.
"Where honey?" She asked while motioning to the bag Harry still had in his hand.
"Here and here and my head." Draco told her, pointing to his stomach, slightly lower and head in turn. She gave him a sympathetic smile and put a pill in his mouth before holding a bottle of water she'd brought with her to his lips. He drank enough to swallow the pill and a bit more to wash away the taste before leaning his head against her chest, closing his eyes tiredly.
"Let's get you washed honey. Then you can go to sleep okay?" Lily said, grabbing a clean wash cloth off Harry and soaping it up before gently washing him down with it, Draco making a little protest when she got lower but settled down when she passed the cloth to Harry to wash him instead. When he was done, Harry got him out and wrapped him in a big towel before quickly wiping down himself and sliding some clean boxers up his legs.
"Okay. Do you want help getting dressed or are you okay by yourself?" Harry asked while pulling Draco into a hug. Draco just clung to Harry tighter so he picked Draco up and set him on the side before beginning to get him dressed. He got Draco's sports bra and t-shirt on him but got stuck when it came to the pad.
"Um, mum, How do I do this?" Harry asked, turning to his mum while holding the women's underwear and a thick pad. Lily took it with a fond smile and stuck it in with ease before sliding the underwear up Draco's legs herself.
"Like that." She said while pulling Draco off the side to pull the underwear over his bum. Harry helped his boyfriend into some boxers too before leading the half asleep teen out of the bathroom and into the spare bedroom between Remus and Sirius' room and James and Lily's.
"You lay down while I get you some tea. That's what dad does when Mum's on her period. I assume it works to do something." Harry shrugged while making Draco lay down. Lily came in chuckling at Harry's statement.
"Yes. It does help. It helps sooth pain and calms you down. Make sure you make the peppermint, cinnamon or ginger okay hun?" Lily said. Harry nodded and bounced downstairs to make some tea. Lily sat down on the bed with Draco, knowing he always had a few questions about certain things.
"Do you have any questions for me yet?" She asked gently. Draco shrugged and leaned into her side.
"Why does tea help?" He asked after a minute or two.
"It helps detense the muscles and helps to destress you." Lily explained. At that moment, Remus came walking into the room as his werewolf hearing had picked up movement and woken him up.
"What's going on? Why are you two in here?" He asked.
"Sorry I woke you up Remus." Draco muttered. Remus just waved him off though and opened his eyes properly when he smelt the air.
"Who's making peppermint tea?" He asked.
"Hazza. Lily said it'll help." Draco told him.
"Help? Help what? And you're trusting Harry with boiling water?!" Remus exclaimed, completely forgetting about his first question and running downstairs to make sure Harry didn't end up burnt. Draco and Lily chuckled when they heard an exclamation of "Ouch!" from downstairs not even a second later.
"How are you feeling honey?" Lily asked a few minutes later. Draco shrugged.
"Weird. dysphoric. I don't know." Draco muttered. She nodded and pulled him into her side more.
"Why did your mum not ever talk to you about this stuff?" She asked. Draco shrugged.
"I really don't know. She doesn't like talking about stuff with me. She doesn't like that I'm trans or with Harry. She doesn't like talking to me about biology stuff. She just doesn't like me." Draco whispered. Lily gave him a sympathetic smile.
"What about your dad?" She asked.
"He's confused about the whole trans thing but still accepts me. When I told him he said he wasn't surprised as I always acted and dressed like a boy anyway." Draco explained.
"I think they're getting divorced but neither will tell me anything. Father said he'd meet up with me soon though to explain." He added as an after thought.
"that's good though isn't it. If your mother leaves you won't technically have to deal with her." Lily said. Draco nodded. Harry and Remus came back, Remus holding a tray of tea as he didn't trust Harry with it. Harry took the biggest mug off and handed it to Draco with a peck on the lips.
"Here you go love." Harry said. Draco thanked him and took a mouthful of the peppermint tea.
"Mmmm, this is soo good!" Draco hummed, leaning against Harry's chest after the younger had sat down next to him.
"Did you burn your hand?" Draco asked after seeing Harry's red hand. Harry nodded.
"Yeah. I may have touched the kettle after it was boiled and burnt myself." Harry admitted.
"You cluts." Draco giggled as he placed a delicate kiss to the red skin.
"Well I'm your cluts so deal with it." Harry teased, pecking Draco's cheek.
"That you are." Draco agreed.
"Anyway, why was Harry making tea?" Remus asked, sitting at the end of the bed with his own mug. The man was still exhausted and had bandages all over him as the full moon was just 2 days before.
"Period." Draco muttered. Remus shot him a sympathetic look.
"Sorry kiddo." He said. Draco nodded and yawned.
"Why don't you and Hazza go back to sleep?" Lily suggested, standing up and taking Draco's mug. Draco nodded and snuggled up under the covers with Harry, falling asleep quickly, surrounded by love and warmth.
