Forever Halloween ✔️

Chapter 7

It had been a week since their first date, and Draco could feel himself falling, hard and fast. His father was none too pleased with this turn of events. Draco refused to associate himself with Pansy and Blaise any longer. He would no longer be a business pawn for his father, who took out all of his anger on Harry.

Lucius had even tried to forbid Draco from seeing Harry, but Draco was having none of it. He had left mid-argument, immediately going to the haunt, where Harry had listened to everything that was going on. He took Draco out for lunch, then did some makeup and prosthetic work for him, allowing him to work in the haunt with Harry for the day.

Harry had his second favorite day of work yet (nothing would ever beat the first time he saw Draco), and Draco now had a job offer, if he wanted it. He would speak with his mother to hear her thoughts; he already knew his father was against it. Draco was ready to move out and make something of himself.

Today was the day of the promised dinner, and Sirius and Remus had never seen Harry so nervous. He had extensively cleaned the house, and his fathers had sent him out to get drinks so the drive would clear his head.

When he returned, he was in a much better mood, and quickly started on making dinner. He had woken up early to make dessert, so that had been cooling.

"He's important to you, isn't he?", Remus asked softly.

Remus had been brought back to the times where he wanted to impress the Potters, who were Sirius's adoptive family. He hadn't needed to worry as they were very kind and accepting. He had heard stories from Sirius about the Blacks, and he was praying everything went well for his son.

"There's just something about him Moony, I really don't know. It's absolutely crazy with how fast things seem to be moving, but I really like him. He's funny, and he helps keep me level headed, and I can just talk to him about anything you know? It's nice to just sit with him and talk, and I've never had that before. I just need this to go well."

"It will, Harry. You just need to relax and let things be. This is only his mother, you're not meeting his father. Sirius and Narcissa have been talking through things they should've discussed years ago. Everything will be fine."

"Everything will be fine", Harry repeated to himself, sounding like a broken record.

Putting on some music to distract himself worked, but he still let out a squeak when the doorbell rang. He ran to get it, sliding across the living room floor, much to the amusement of Sirius and Remus.

"Breathe Prongslet, you're fine", Sirius instructed with a laugh.

Taking a deep breath, he opened the door, a goofy smile appearing on his face at the sight of Draco.

"Hi, please come in. Can I take your coats?"

"Hello Harry, it's nice to see you again. You may", Narcissa greeted.

After hanging up her coat, Harry turned around to be met by a beaming Draco. Immediately, he pulled the other man into a hug.

"Draco, these are my fathers. You've already met Sirius over the phone, this is Remus."

"Pleasure to meet you sirs", Draco greeted, shaking both of their hands.

"Likewise Draco. We've heard so much about you", Sirius teased.

"Oh leave them alone Sirius. Do remember that I can tell stories from when you were younger."

"I would love to hear those", Remus interjected. "Would you like something to drink?"

"I have something for you. I left it in the car. Walk with me?"

"Of course. Remus, make sure Sirius doesn't touch dinner."
