Enough is Enough

Chapter 17

There was a pause were nothing was said, then Draco opened his mouth.

"Harry, I know what you mean about this happening very quickly. I have also loved and admired you for a long time now. I would gladly spend my days with you for the rest of our lives."

Harry let out a relieved breath and smiled widely. He couldn't believe Draco liked him back! After all those years and all the agony that came with pretending that he didn't like Draco, he could finally act on his feelings.

Narcissa squealed, "Yay!! A wedding! We can have a December wedding and we can invite all the prominent members of the Dark community and we can do it in the garden here at the Manor and-"

"Whoa! Calm down a second Cissy. They just got engaged. We can check the marriage contract and sign it now so that someone like Dumbledore can't try to coerce Aidan into marrying someone or trying to get his money." Tom said trying not to laugh at the boys' wide eyes at what Narcissa was saying. Lucius was also trying to hide his amusement at what his wife was saying.

"Well, we've had a long and stressful day. I think it's time for bed. Anything else that needs to be discussed can wait until the morning." Lucius announced after he managed to calm himself down.

"Alright. I better not catch you two in each other's rooms!" Cissy shouts at the two blushing boys as they make their way to their rooms.

"MOM" "CISSA" They shout together turning around before running to their rooms.

"Bill?" Charlie yelled coming through the floo. The redhead hoped that he could reach his brother before the letter did.

"Charlie?" Bill answered with his wand out facing towards Charlie.

Charlie instantly had his wand out facing Bill as well.

"I'm assuming you got Mom's letter?" Charlie asks calmly.

"Yes." Bill says stoically, no emotion showing on his face.

"Will you be joining the fight and getting revenge on those that have obviously 'corrupted poor sweet Harry' like Sirius?" Charlie asked sarcastically.

"As great as that sounds, I'm going to have to answer with a no and add that the next time Dumbledore tries something like another Compulsion Charm, I might just kill him myself." Bill answered just as sarcastically.

"So you do check your mail before answering it as well." The younger of the two Weasleys said as he slowly lowered his wand.

"Of course. Did you get Fred and George's letter as well?" Bill answered also lowering his wand.

Charlie nodded yes as he sat down on one of Bill's two couches in the living room.

"So what are we supposed to do?" Bill asked with a sigh as he sat down on the opposite couch.

"I think we should go back to Britain and talk to Fred and George. They obviously have information that we need to hear. I'll send them an owl to tell them that we're coming. You can stay overnight so that we can leave in the morning." Charlie decided after a minute of thought.

"While you do that, we should probably respond to Dumbledore and Mom and tell them that we are coming." Bill added on, agreeing with his brother.

"How did this go so wrong?" Dumbledore thought to himself as he sat in his office. "How am I to get Potter into my grasp?"

"How could it go so wrong? Ever since Sirius' will- That's it!! Lily and James will! We made sure to have the marriage contract written in their will!! I'll just have to unseal it." Dumbledore smiled and penned a quick note to send to Gringotts. Things were finally on the right track.

Aidan woke up the next morning with a smile on his face. He had finally told Draco how he had felt and the blond-haired beauty had returned his affections. They were also engaged to be married. His smile got even brighter when he thought about their engagement.

He slowly made his way into his bathroom with his hands out in front of him. When he reached the door, he opened it and made his way to the sink to brush his teeth and get ready.

After putting on the outfit that the house elf had set out for him, he opened his bedroom door and nearly ran into Draco.

"Oh! I-I-I-I was just about to come in there and get you." Draco stuttered, his voice conveying the shyness he probably felt at that moment. "You were taking a while and we need to go down for breakfast soon and we also need to about all that is involved with the engagement and-"

"Dragon! You're rambling. Calm down. I'm finished getting dressed so we can go to the Dining Room now." Aidan said stopping the young Malfoy from speaking.

"D-D-Dr-Dragon?" The blond stuttered his voice showing his shock at the new nickname.

"Yeah. I've wanted to call you that since I first heard your name. Let's head towards the dining room. I'm starving." Aidan added walking towards where he hoped the dining room was located.

"What's wrong?" Aidan asked walking into the dining room and feeling the heavy atmosphere that the adults had.

"The Daily Prophet is the problem." Lucius said handing the paper to Draco.

"WHAT?!!!! How dare that old goat!!!!" He exclaimed. "I can't believe he put that in the paper! Like that bitch would ever be something like that with Aidan!! When I get my hands on her, she will wish she was! Maybe then he would stop me from killing her!"

Lucius and Tom exchanged smiles happy about Draco's reaction to the paper. They were happy that he actually meant it when he said he cared and wasn't just being pressured into the engagement. Narcissa had already known about Draco's love for Aidan, but she couldn't even think about that because of her anger for what was written in the Prophet.

"Dragon, what's the problem?" Aidan asks confused.

"That man!!! He-he-he-he-" the blonde was so mad, he was almost spitting. Aidan stopped him.

"Calm down and take a breath." Draco did as asked. "Now, what is the issue?"

"Dumbledore has told the Prophet that Ginny Weasley is pregnant with your heir and you will marry her due to a marriage contract. Apparently, you are thrilled to marry her and are so glad that she is carrying your heir. You have also stated that you shall do whatever you can to make her life comfortable and provide for her and her family." Draco finished off still seething.
