The Weasleys and William

Arthur and the Changes

It had been about a week since Arthur had sent Molly out of The Burrow, and the Weasleys were slowly adapting to the new routines and rules and boundaries in their home. Two days after Molly had left, the twins had asked Arthur if they could take Molly's hand off the clock, to which he had hesitantly agreed. The loss of Molly's part of the clock had been an official sign that they had no intention of allowing her back, not as she currently was, anyway.

Harry had come back around 5 days after Molly had left, and when he found that truly no one else in the house had any ill will or feelings towards him, he had decided to bring over his boyfriend the next day to meet them officially.

Today was the 6th day since Molly's departure, and not only was Harry bringing his boyfriend, but Percy was coming back to visit with his fiancé, Vinny.

Percy and Vinny had arrived first, and the Weasleys welcomes him back with open arms, and gladly took in Vinny. Around noon, Harry had gotten there with his allusive boyfriend, and Harry had entered first.

Percy smiled at Harry from the dining table, and spoke up first. "Hello, Harry. It's been a long time since I've last seen you." Percy's smile faltered, and he looked a bit sad, "I'm truly sorry for the way.. for the way Molly had reacted to your coming out. I expect it was somewhat similar to how she had reacted with mine. Look, if you ever need to talk about it, I'm glad to listen, alright?"

Harry nodded a bit, then looked outside to where his boyfriend was waiting to be introduced, and he smiled then turned back to Percy before answering.

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind, thank you. I.. brought someone today. He's a bit nervous, because it's well known you all don't like his family.. but he's not like them." He turned back to the open door, and motioned for the man to step inside.

A man stepped forward, and took Harry's hand. He had platinum blond hair, silvery eyes, and he had a good bit of height over Harry. Harry smiled at the man, then turned back to Percy, who was the only other person in the room.

"This is Draco Malfoy. I'm sure you at the very least know of him. I need you to not be very loud about your reaction. I know, it's probably a big shock, but.. he's wonderful." Harry stopped, and gently squeezed Draco's hand. He knew his partner was nervous, and this was one of the most opinionated Weasleys. "I just want you and the other Weasleys to accept him. Accept us."

Percy stayed quiet for a while, but nodded at the pair. "Alright. As long as you're safe and happy, I don't see a problem with this. I wish you two the best. Everyone else is in the sitting room, I believe. They're chatting with Vinny, I'll head there with you both."

The three made their way to the sitting room, and everyone seemed to go quiet when they'd seen Draco Malfoy not only in their home, but holding Harry's hand. Percy sat next to his fiancé, while Draco and Harry sat at the end of a sofa next to each other.

Vinny was rather confused about the sudden silence, or why everyone seemed to be so shocked, so he was the first to speak to the pair.

"Hello, I'm Vincent, but I'd rather go by Vinny. If I'm not mistaken, you're Harry Potter. And you are?" Vinny turned to Draco, waiting for his response.

"My name is Draco Malfoy, I am the only heir of the Malfoy family, and I have the great privilege to be able to call the one and only Harry Potter my lover." Draco gently squeezed Harry's  hand, and stole a glance at the now reddening man beside him.

The group had all processed what had been said and what they had seen, and all once by one began to join into the conversation. Everyone welcomed Draco, which left Harry with much relief.
