Once Upon a Time

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO POINTED OUT THAT I HAD SAID HARRY HAD READ ALL ABOUT VEELA AND WOULD KNOW HE WOULD GET PREGNANT. I NEVER SAID THAT, I SAID HE HAD READ ABOUT THEM, BUT NEVER SAID HE KNEW ALL THERE WAS TO KNOW. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION.

Blaise eventually grew tired of waiting for Draco and Harry to finish their discussion so he decided to go and find the rest of his family. He found them too, in the king’s study. He couldn’t hold back the smirk when he saw his step-sister pacing trying to control the urge to run to the prince’s room. He knew she would be in for a shock and wanted to be there when she found out her dreams would never come true.

“Is he awake yet?” Pansy asked seeing her step-brother standing in the door.

Blaise continued to smirk at her, “yes he has been for about an hour.”

“You were supposed to come and get me when he woke. Honestly, I was thinking about giving you a job here when I became queen, but I don’t think you could handle it.” She said as she stormed passed him.

“You would think you would do everything in your power to keep your future queen happy.” His mother-in-law said as she looked down her nose at him.

He knew she couldn’t stand him and frankly he didn’t care. As far as he was concerned the feeling was mutual. He had always wondered why his father had married the woman. Pansy’s mother had taken care of his mother while she had been sick and he had always wondered if she hadn’t helped his mother’s death along a bit. He just wished he had proof that she had.

Realizing that Pansy was probably halfway to Draco’s room he looked at Lucius and Severus. “Do you really want to miss the show?” He knew they knew what he was talking about when he saw the smirk flash across Lucius’s face.

“After you.” Lucius said as he motioned for Marigold Zabini (Blaise’s Stepmother) to precede them from the room. He had to admit he wanted to see their reaction to finding Draco was bound to another.

Marigold smiled at the king and said, “No need for formalities as we will soon be family.” and allowed him to go before her. She just hoped they reached Pansy before she did something to embarrass them.

Draco and Harry had yet to move from their chair, not that Draco was bothered by this. He liked being able to hold his husband like this.

Harry at that time had his head resting on his shoulder just enjoying this peaceful time they had together. He liked not having to worry about whether Tom would attack them at any moment. He knew he was safe here and that his husband would not let anything happen to him.

Just then the door slammed open making a loud noise causing the two to jump and Draco to stand drawing his wand. When he stood Harry was not expecting this and landed on the floor with a THUMP.

“Draco, why didn’t you come to me when you woke?” Pansy asked in her most whiny voice.

Draco couldn’t believe she had the nerve to come to his rooms. It wasn’t proper for her to be here and she should have known that. Harry hadn’t tried to come to his bedroom before the two were married and Draco had stayed away from Harry’s, with the exception of the time when he was trying to find his mate. That had been the hardest thing to do as the bond has been screaming at him to stay and watch over his mate.

“Pansy you know you shouldn’t be in here.” He said glaring at the girl. Sometimes she could be so stupid. It was then he saw his husband had been dropped to the floor and felt bad for not noticing before. He held out his hands for Harry to grasp and pulled his love to his feet just has Pansy begun talking.

“You know that doesn’t matter anymore. I am your mate it is my right to be in here. Though we will have to do some redecorating.” She said looking around the room. “There is entirely too much blue and not enough Pink in this room.” She said beginning to plan how she was going to change everything.

“Don’t get to ahead of yourself sister dear.” Blaise said as he and the others walked into the room. “Harry do you think there is anything wrong with the color scheme of the room?” He said smirking at the other boy. He also saw Lucius was enjoying this and knew the King liked Harry, he found himself wondering how the two had met.

Harry didn’t like being put on the spot, but decided to have some fun with the others. He saw a look of anticipation cross Lucius’s face and knew the king knew he was going to do something. How could the king always read him so well?

Lucius saw the mischievous look and knew he was going to play with everyone’s heads a little. He remembered the times he had seen that look when visiting Harry when he was little and the boy waswell enough to play a bit.

“You know she may be right.” Harry said having a hard time holding back his laughter seeing Draco, Blaise, and Severus’s faces take on looks of shock. He saw Lucius was trying to hold back laughter and found it even harder to hold back his own. “There is too much blue in this room. Maybe if we threw in a little pink it would make it a little homier. Or better yet we could add some orange and green. Maybe a little purple and red.” He would have continued had Lucius not broken down laughing.

“You should all see your faces. I should have known Harry would do something like that.” Lucius had been fighting his laughter since Harry had suggested the color orange. He knew Harry hated that color.

He could still remember coming to see a five-year-old Harry when he was too sick to get out of bed and walking in and having the child glare at him when he told him he liked his pajamas. The things were orange and the child didn’t like them. Knowing this Lucius had changed them to blue, Harry’s favorite color and smile when the child’s face lit up. Apparently Lily thought the orange things were the cutest things in the world and Harry didn’t agree.

“You were just joking right?” Draco asked as he turned the smaller man to look at him. He sighed in relief when he saw Harry was laughing.

“Of course, just ask your father. I hate the color orange.” Lucius nodded when the others looked at him for conformation of this.

“Good you had me worried I had married someone with no fashion sense.” Draco said as he pulled his husband closer. He was enjoying watching Harry play with people’s heads, but didn’t like when he fell for it.

“MARRIED?” Pansy all but screamed.

“Yes the two were married last night at the Potter estate and we traveled here right after.” Lucius said leaving out the attacks on Harry.

“How can they be married? Pansy just turned 16 today and Draco has to marry his mate.” Marigold said while glaring at the smaller boy.

“I did marry my mate. Harry turned 16 a little over a week ago.” Draco loved watching as this news sank in. He knew Pansy and Marigold had been planning on Pansy marrying him and having some say in the kingdom and loved showing them that this was not going to happen. To add insult to injury be began running his hands up and down Harry’s arms.

“But then how are you going to carry on the royal line? Men can’t get pregnant.” Pansy said smirking thinking she had found a way to get her hands on the kingdom. If she carried the heir then Draco would have to give her some say in things.

“That is where you are wrong. As my mate Harry is able to conceive our child and carry him or her to term.” Feeling Harry stiffen in his arms he knew this was new information to his little husband. “He will be able to carry on the line if he wishes to.” He wouldn’t force anything on him.

Harry was suddenly ecstatic; he would be able to give Draco children. He really should have finished reading that book on Veela and not stopped after reading about the bond. Turning his head up to look at his husband he saw that Draco wanted to know if he was ok with the aspect of having children. Sure he wasn’t ready for them now, but in time he did want to have them. That decided he stood on his tiptoes and lightly pressed his lips to his husbands showing he was ok with the aspect of having children with him. Even if he had to be the one to carry them.

Draco felt all his worries melt away. Harry was ok with having their children. While he wouldn’t have forced it on him he had wanted them to have children of their own. He was surprised when Harry kissed him in front of everyone as usually Harry was embarrassed when he would show him any affection when others were around.

“That can’t happen. You are supposed to be with me, not him.” He was broken from his thoughts when he heard Pansy’s annoying screech.

“Well that is just too bad isn’t it? Now I think you should leave before people get the wrong idea about your character.” He said as he wrapped his arms around his love. He loved making Pansy mad.

“You know he is right. I hope you don’t always going barging into young men’s rooms, married or otherwise. I know for a fact Harry didn’t enter his room until the two were married. He didn’t even try to sneak in, that is the type of person I would want my son married to.” Lucius said while glaring at the girl. He knew she had slept with many people, most people in the kingdom did. He wanted to know how her parents planned on marrying her off.

Pansy couldn’t believe how humiliated she was. She should have been the one sleeping/living in these rooms, not that Potter. She had heard that name before, but wondered where. Maybe there was a way to get him out of the picture and her to replace him.
