Draco shook his head, "No, I don't, and I never will. Now, after I visited, did they continue to mistreat you?" he inquired with concern.

"No, they didn't. After you scared them and threatened to bury them alive, they believed it and avoided me for the next three months. Dudley then threatened me again, saying I had to ask you to get Vernon's job back, or he would tell Vernon and Petunia about what happened and even you. I realized that Dudley would ignore me again if you gave Vernon his job back. He stopped threatening me once you did," Harry explained.

Draco tightened his embrace around Harry, causing him to stiffen momentarily. "Love, calm down. I am not angry at you. I am angry at those vile people, okay? I threatened to bury them alive, didn't I? Shall we go through with that threat? We could do it for your first Death Eater raid," Draco said, trying to lighten the mood.

Harry nodded, his face still buried in Draco's chest, whispering a heartfelt "Thank you."

"You don't need to thank me, darling," Draco replied tenderly.

Just then, Mattheo and Dahlia, who had come to call Draco and Harry down for breakfast, accidentally overheard the emotional conversation. They walked inside the room and saw Harry and Draco in each other's arms.

Without a word, Mattheo and Dahlia wrapped Harry in a warm group hug, surprising both Draco and Harry.

As Mattheo and Dahlia held Harry in a warm group hug, Dahlia gently spoke up, "Harry, we're sorry for overhearing your conversation with Draco. We didn't mean to intrude, but we couldn't help but hear. We care about you, and we want you to know that we're here for you too."

Harry looked up at Dahlia, shocked. "You heard everything?" he asked, sniffling.

Dahlia nodded with a warm smile, "Yes, we did. And we're so glad we did because it shows how much Draco and you care for each other."

Mattheo added, "We may not have the best history, but you are a part of our family now."

Overwhelmed with emotions, Harry couldn't hold back his tears any longer. But this time, they were tears of happiness and gratitude. He felt a sense of belonging he had never experienced before. With Draco, Mattheo, and Dahlia by his side, he knew he had found a family who loved and cared for him.

"We can't let them get away with treating you like that," Draco said, his jaw clenching with determination. "It's time they face the consequences of their actions."

Mattheo nodded in agreement. "Are you excited for your first death eater raid, Harry?"

Harry hesitated for a moment but the Dursleys needed to understand the pain they had caused him and learn that their actions had consequences.

Draco and Harry followed Mattheo and Dahlia down for breakfast.

The next day, they apparated to the quiet suburban street where No. 4 Privet Drive stood. Harry stopped the three of them before they could step inside the yard.

"There are wards and magic dampeners on the house. It will alert Dumbledore if another wizard enters the premises." Explained Harry.
