Chapter 4

Ch.4:

Harrison stayed at Malfoy Manor the week until his birthday. Draco would not let him go for any long period of time and he was happy being with him, getting him to eat and regain the weight he lost during his absence.

As he waited for Draco to come down for his birthday celebration and the announcement of his engagement to the Malfoys' most immediate family, Harrison stroked the package in his pocket.

It was a chocker made from a rare stone in India and was infused with several ancient protective charms. It was also embedded with his kind's magic to protect his mate from harm and the advances of others, especially forceful sexual contact.

The floo fire glowed and from it Bellatrix, her husband and his brother stepped out. They looked curiously at him, but they greeted each other and made small talk. Moments later Crissy's other sister, Andromeda and her husband Severus Snape, along with her daughter Nymphdora arrived.

Harrison noticed Nymphdora's smirk and her magical signature seemed familiar as well, "Tonks?" he asked disbelief.

'Hello, Harrison. I have to say you leaving without a word from the Order's headquarters was a pain to deal with." Her cheerful demeanor was strained when she said those words.

He could not believe that Nymphdora was Tonks, the silly Auror that was clumsy as hell. But it really shouldn't have surprised him that Voldemort had been able to infiltrate the Order, who were in such desperate need of people, they accepted anyone that expressed an interest. That was a far cry from the Death Eater, who were carefully screened before they were chosen.

"I had other more important matters to attend to than leaving a good impression. Plus, I highly doubt that I accomplished anything, but annoying the Light further."

She hummed in response and wickedly smiled at him, "The Weasley scandal was brilliant by the way. They are even more humiliated now than ever before and the morning you left the Weasley girl was found with Kingsley Shacklebolt in her room. It took all I had not to burst into laughter."

"Kingsley Shacklebolt?" Bellatrix asked in surprise.

Nymphdora nodded, "The very one, Aunt. He is now head of the Auror Office when Moody retired. You would have loved it. The whole Order appeared that morning to see Harrison off."

Harrison snorted; "More like a last minute attempt to manipulate me into joining them," he interjected sourly.

"True, but when they couldn't find you they looked for you and heard noises from Weasley's room and they barged in thinking it was you. Their faces were priceless when they realized that it was Shacklebolt. It turned into a brawl fight right then and there and her family tried to force him to marry her. They know that no self-respecting wizard will want her. And Shacklebolt is a half-blood with a good job and pay and has a good reputation, but he rejected the offer and told them that their daughter was a used whore."

Everyone in the room laughed, "It was an amusing fight. You would have loved the old coot's face."

"Thank-you Nymphie for that." Lucius said happily, his arm around Narcrissa as they joined them.

"No doubt all of you are wondering why Lord Potter is here, but you'll have to wait until Draco gets here." Narcrissa's eyes shone bright and already they had a clue on the news that would await them.

They did not wait long; Draco appeared down the stairs five minutes later. And when he did, Harrison felt lust flare within him.

Draco looked beautiful. His silvery blond hair was in an elaborate braid. His robes were fashioned in a boat cut style, which showcased his slender shoulders and collarbone. All of that creamy skin made his mouth water.
