Old Enemy New Lover

Chapter 9

Harry POV

Even though I checked in with Dray, it had been a long week. I still feel desperate. I hate how lonely this house is and I want my son with me. I want Teddy with me. I miss how it was when he lived with me. He looked up at me and called me Dad and Daddy. His grandmother does not like how he calls me dad because he was a birth father and mother, but they died. Remus and Tonks die. Everyone that I loved has died—my parents, godfather, friends, and family. Then I heard my fireplace go off, and I walked to see Dray standing there looking upset.

"What did I tell you if you did not write to me?" Dray said.

"That you will come after me. That you will look for me and bring me to you so you can look after me," I said as I fell against the wall.

"What's wrong with you, honey?" Dray said as he pulled me onto his lap. I buried my head in his neck as he held me. I cuddled into him as he was my lifeline. Since Dray was about a foot taller than me, he made it easy to cuddle and to be comfortable as he held me. I cried into him as I felt all the deaths I caused to happen in that war. I could not stay strong forever. I could not stay firm for Ginny; she tried to help me but could not.

Third Pov

Draco held onto Harry and tried to calm him down. But Harry was calling out to all that died, and he blames himself for causing their death. Draco stayed with Harry until he was asleep. He knew his boyfriend had blamed himself for all the deaths that happened in the war, but it was not his fault. Draco blames himself more than Harry. If he had not listened to his father when he was younger, he and Harry would have been together, and he would have chosen the light side, not the dark. But he was scared and listened to his father and his Lord at the time.

Draco laid Harry on the couch as he packed everything his lover needed. Then he picked Harry back up braided style and returned to the fireplace to go back to Draco Mansion. Draco brought Harry to his room, laying him down to sleep since he was already there. Draco sat next to him and watched him sleep. He was waiting for a nightmare to come and comfort his love. Draco watched as his love slept and worried about him. He needed someone who would watch him and care for him.

Harry always took care of everyone, but it was time for someone to carry for him. Harry has been strong for too long, Draco thought. It is bound to take time to, be he was cared for. Finally, Harry was rolling around and screaming and shouting for people. Draco tries to wake Harry, but he soon wakes up by himself. He was crying and shaking. Draco pulled him into his lap, cooed him, and rubbed his back. He knew this was hard for Harry, living with being the savior and the only one who lived the killing cures. After some hours, Ha finally went back to sleep, this time peacefully of dreams of Dray, Teddy, and Scorpios being a family.

Scorpios entered his father's bedroom after spending the day with his nanny and Papaw (Draco's mom and dad). Narcissa was not too far behind him when she saw Draco reading a book with Harry sleeping on the bed. 

"Did he not respond to you?" Narcissa asked, looking at Harry. 

"He did not, and he was having one of the moments that Ron and Hermione were telling me about, where he thinks about the past and cannot get out of it," Draco said, putting his book on the side table. 

"Have you considered moving in with him or having him live here with you?" Nacrissa asked.

"I have, but we just started dating, and I felt like it's too soon," Draco said. 

"But you have known Harry since you started Hogwarts. Me and your father are not going to judge you. You know he changed a lot after everything happened. He feels bad for hurting you and me," Narcissa said, walking over to them. 

"Daddy, can we do that? Dada looks like he needs help. I want to help him out, " Scorpius said, looking at his daddy.

"What do I do about this house?" Draco asked, looking at his mother.

"We will keep it just in case. Also, your father and I are talking about taking in muggle-born students whose parents have rejected them while at school. So they have a safe place," Narcissa said, looking at Draco. 

'I like that idea for the two of you. I know you wanted more kids after you had me but it was not happening. Do whatever will make both of you happy again," Draco said with a smile. 

Narcissa nodded, said goodbye, and left to return home. Draco just looked at Harry and Scorpius as they cuddled together. 

He was happy that he was starting to have a family again, but they were missing one person; maybe one day they could get Teddy back to be a true family again.
