Harry\'s New Dad

Harry woke a little later and wondered why he still felt tired. It was then he remembered the events from the previous day. He remembered being trapped at the bottom of the lake and then his dad being hit by the killing curse. Instantly he was awake looking around to make sure his dad was there and ok. He couldn’t hold back a sigh of relief when he saw the man asleep in the chair next to his bed. It was then he remembered the rest of the night and his brain registered the arms around his waist and he turned to see the blond sleeping next to him.

He sighed in relief when he saw Padfoot at the end of the bed, Jake and his wife in the bed to the right of his, and Remus in the one on the left of his bed. Seeing that everyone he cared about was ok he laid his head back down and snuggled into the warmth of the blond holding him, absently noting that the arms around him became a little tighter before he fell asleep.

Lily looked over at the bed where her younger twin slept in the arms of who should be his brother’s mate. She had stayed in the hospital wing with Jason just as she had always done, but this time she couldn’t keep her mind off the boy in the other bed.

She couldn’t believe what she had seen that day and absently wondered if she would be able to do the same for her children. Would she be able to take a killing curse for them, knowing it would be the last thing she ever did? She didn’t think she would be able to do that, but she wouldn’t be able to abandon her family when they needed her here and wouldn’t that be just what she was doing? No one could expect a mother to take a curse like that when she would still have to care for two other children here on earth.

As quietly as she could she decided to walk quietly over and just check on the sleeping boy. Carefully she reached out to push some of the hair out of HER Harry’s face and was startled when he moved away from her touch and began quietly whimpering. She was even more surprised when the arms of the veela wrapped around him tighter and held him even closer as if to protect him from her.

It saddened her to think that HER son would feel the need to not let her touch him. She knew what her and James had done to Harry wasn’t right, but they had just found out that they had a child on way and there was no way they could take care of three children and give Jason the attention he needed. She was just going to have to explain this to Harry. When he saw it from that perspective he would have to forgive them.

Harry opened his eyes the next morning and frowned when he saw Draco was gone. It was then he heard his dad grumbling about how sleeping in chairs should be outlawed as it couldn’t be good for the back or neck. He couldn’t help but smile when the man stretched and winced when he heard all the pops coming from his back.

“Could you please not do that when I am here, you know how much I hate that noise.” Harry said and laughed when he saw his dad jump. Obviously the man thought he had been asleep.

“Sorry kid I thought you were asleep.” Told ya, “You still look tired, are you sure you should be awake?” Logan asked as he began examining his son.

“I feel like I could sleep another day.” Harry said as he scooted over and made room for his dad on the bed. He could tell the man was still tired. He smiled when the man climbed in next to him and pulled him into his side while wrapping an arm protectively around him.

“You ever scare me like that again kid I might just have to kill you.” Logan said as he felt his son snuggle into him. It reminded him of all the time Harry would sneak into his bed when he was little and had had a nightmare.

“I promise I will try not to scare you like that again, if you go to sleep.” Harry said as he closed his eyes.

“Deal.” With that father and son fell asleep for a few more hours.

Albus couldn’t help but smile as Charles pulled out a camera and snapped a few pictures of father and son. The relationship Charles had with Logan reminded him frighteningly of the one he had with Severus and Lucius. He looked at the two boys as his own children and it was obvious Charles looked at Logan as his son.

“Any of the students see those photos you’re a dead man Chuck.” Logan said without opening his eyes. He felt his son stir next to him and wanted to swear at the man he saw as his father for waking the boy up. Harry needed his rest to recover quickly and he didn’t want his son in the hospital longer than he needed to be.

“Don’t worry I will make sure everyone sees them.” Charles said as he smiled at the two on the bed. “How are you feeling Harry?” He asked when he saw the green eyes open.

“I’m a little tired, but other wise fine Chuck.” Harry said hoping to not let the Headmaster know too much about how they were able to stay at the bottom of the lake so long.

“It is ok Harry, your dad and I figured it was best to explain everything to Albus and he has agreed to keep your secret.” Charles said hoping to put the boy at ease.

Harry just shrugged and smiled at the two before he lay back down on his dad’s chest and fell back asleep.

Harry recovered a lot quicker than they thought he would and soon he was back in class and pranking the teachers again. He was upset that he had missed the first Hogsmede weekend and consequently his first official date with Draco, but the blond promised to make it up to him. So here he was, blindfolded, being led through the hall by said blond wondering where in the world he was being taken. He smiled when he was made to stop and gasped when the blindfold was taken off.

There in front of him was a table with a candlelit dinner for two. The table was set elegantly with a single white long stemmed rose in the center of it. He could hear soft music playing in the background and was shocked when Draco’s voice broke the silence.

“Do you like it?” Draco asked, hoping Harry liked what he had done. He had felt bad that Harry had to miss the Halloween ball because Madam Pomfrey wouldn’t let him leave the hospital wing. As a result he had decided to give Harry his own private ball. He had even taken the liberty of buying him some dress robes for the occasion.

“I love it.” Harry said as he turned and kissed the blond showing how much he loved it in that one kiss. He could feel himself falling for Draco and frankly he didn’t care. Draco was wonderful.

“Then I suggest you go change so we can get this ball started.” Draco said when he had finally released Harry. He then pointed over at the robes and watched as Harry’s face lit up. All the work he had put into this was worth it for that one smile.

Harry looked beautiful in the emerald green robes with the silver trim he had picked out. Draco pulled the chair out for his boyfriend. The two ate and talked about many things, enjoying each other’s company. Harry was shocked when Draco stood and asked him if he cared to dance.

And that was just how he spent the rest of his night, his first date with Draco.

Jason was furious; he had followed as Draco led Harry to the Room of Requirement. He watched as Draco surprised someone else with the small gifts. He couldn’t contain his fury when the blond pulled the other Slytherin close and proceeded to dance with him. He wanted nothing more than to rush in there and pull the two apart while accusing Harry of steeling everything that belonged to him. It was then that he got a wonderful idea.

It had taken a little more than a month to do, but he had finally done it. His mate steeling twin was finally going to get what he had coming to him. He couldn’t hide the smirk when he saw the Aurors come storming into the Great Hall and up to Dumbledore. He watched as the headmaster paled and pointed at the Slytherin table in shock. He almost laughed as the Aurors walked over to his brother and stopped in front of him.

“Harry James Potter, you are under arrest for interfering with a Veela bonding with its rightful mate. You have the right to remain silent as anything you say may be used against you…” Jason had stopped listening here reveling in the devastated look on his brother’s face. Finally Jason was going to get what he should have gotten from the beginning.

He couldn’t contain his glee as Harry had the cuff that lock in one’s magic placed of his wrists and was led away amidst the yelling of the mutants and the Slytherins. He watched as seven of the Slytherins had to hold Draco back and Harry’s “Dad” was held back by the blue man (Hank, Beast), Sirius, Remus, and Snape.

Finally he was getting what was rightfully his.

Albus saw the smug look on Jason’s face as Harry was led away. He watched as Draco dropped to the floor, heartbroken at having his mate taken from him. He watched as Logan fought swearing at everyone holding him back from saving his son. He knew there was nothing he could do to stop them, he knew Jason was the one who brought the Aurors here and was the reason all this was happening. He had known the boy was jealous of the fact that Harry was with Draco, but to take the Veela’s mate from him, that was just unthinkable.

Draco fought as hard as he could. He had to get to Harry and get those people away from his mate. He could feel the strain on their bond as Harry was taken from him and could sense the veela in him feeling threatened. He knew he couldn’t lose it here because the students might get hurt, but frankly he didn’t care. He wanted his mate back and he wanted him back now. When the doors closed behind Harry and the Aurors Draco sank to the ground as a terrible pain erupted in his chest.

Lily looked over at Jason and knew instantly he was the reason for all this. She had known that Jason and James had not given up hope that Jason was actually Draco’s mate, but she never thought her son would do this to get the boy. Looking at her husband she realized that he was thinking the same thing. Where did they go wrong when raising their son? She could see Harry’s dad trying to tear everyone off him so he could get his son and for the first time since the mutants had gotten there she realized one thing. She would never get to be her son’s mother; he had a new family and was not going to let them into his life now. They lost any chance of being his parents when they gave him up.
