Chapter 20
"Mother?"
Narcissa looked up from her book and immediately ran to hug Draco. "Oh my boy," she cried holding him tightly.
After the shock, Draco wrapped his arms around his mother's unusual skinny waist. He would ask about what happened later. It took a second to realise his mother was dressed in normal muggle clothing and she looked good despite her unusual figure. "I missed you."
His mother sobbed lightly on his shoulder and Draco massaged her back comforting her. Narcissa looked up and wiped her eyes the placed her hand on Draco's soft face. Draco knew what she was trying to say, "I forgive you."
His mother smiled softly at him and looked over and Pansy. "Oh dear, it's great to finally see you again."
Pansy hugged Narcissa softly. "It's fantastic that you can join us for the holidays."
Narcissa looked over at Harry and smiled brightly. "Mr. Potter, thank you for everything you've done. I'm glad to see you'll be joining us."
Harry couldn't help but grin widely, "Mrs. Malfoy you don't need to thank me for anything and the pleasure is mine to spend the holidays here."
Andromeda smiled at her sister and ushered the three you down adults to unpack.
"Pans what room do you want?" Draco asked in the doorway of the bunk bed room.
"I'll sleep in this one, you and Harry are so used to sleeping together and it just seems selfish to sleep in the biggest bed alone." Pansy places the bags on the bottom bunk, "honestly, I prefer sleeping here. It's closer to Teddy in case of anything."
Draco nodded and went to the other room with Harry following him. He unpacked his clothes putting them in the closet leaving space for Harry's clothes. Harry placed some of his clothes and played around with Draco.
When they were all done both sat down on the bed, Draco on Harry's legs listening and enjoying the sound of his heartbeat. Harry hummed a Christmas song as he played with Draco's fingers.
Narcissa appeared in the doorway and knocked lightly. "Draco can I talk to you?"
Draco nodded and kissed Harry's cheek before sliding off of him and following his mother. They sat down in the kitchen with the doors closed around them.
"I need to tell you two thing that are really important and one of them involves Harry."
Draco bit his lip, "if you're against us I'm not going to break up with him. He makes me happy."
His mother shook her head lightly. "It's not about that, I can see he makes you happy. It's about something else, something more private and something I never thought I would tell you but expected to tell you. Our family has a curse."
Draco looked at her confused, "what type of curse?"

Draco walked to Harry red faced and simply hid his face into Harry's chest. "Are you alright Draco?" Draco didn't answer and that was a big sign to Harry that he didn't want to talk about it. "Can I at least know something?"
"My father didn't take me off his will. I can pay you back." Draco mumbled.
Harry shook his head and placed a finger in Draco's chin making him look up. "You don't have to pay me back, I'm here for you."
Draco got on his tiptoes and kissed Harry tenderly. "We're all going out to dinner. Get ready and wear something nice. I'm going to help Teddy get ready."
Harry kissed his again enjoying the liberty to just kiss him. "You're the most gorgeous person I've met, you make me so happy."
Draco blushed, "you make me feel so happy and I still can't believe that The Harry Potter saviour of the Wizard World is my boyfriend."
Harry chuckled shaking his head. "Go get Teddy ready, then change into something you'll look absolutely stunning in"
Draco nodded and walked to Teddy room. He looked over at the pin and it pointed at the He section and Kat that in mind. "Hey Ted, what do you want to wear to go to a classy restaurant?"
Teddy stood up and walked to the closet opening it up. He looked over at a blue kid's suit and turned his hair blue. "That one!"
Draco chuckled and helped him get the suit so he could get changed. He clicked the bow tie on and fixed his hair that was slowly turning blind with pink tips like his.
"Do you like the way my hair is Dray?" Teddy asked imitating Harry's nickname for Draco.
"You look in it better than I do!" He picked up teddy and began walking out, "Come and help me choose what I should wear."
Draco knocked on the door of his and Harry's room before going in. Harry was wearing a purple suit Draco had picked out for him because it made his eyes pop. They went to the closet and Teddy was still in his arms as he examined the clothes he had bought. Teddy noticed a suit that was like his except that it didn't have a bow tie, just a tie.
"That one! We can look like twins!"
Draco nodded and placed Teddy on the ground. "I'm going to go change, stay here with Harry."
Once they were all dressed and Draco was done taming Harry's hair and making look even more irresistible they were able to go out for dinner. Narcissa was wearing a long black dress, Andromeda was wearing a green dress and Pansy a purple dress to hug her figure perfectly.
The restaurant was candle lit and the environment smelled like the finest food. Harry, Andromeda, and Narcissa ordered something with a piece of steak. Draco ordered pan-fried lobster with scallop ravioli, Pansy ordered a vegetarian dish called spaghetti pizza margherita and Teddy ordered his absolute favourite, salmon fish sticks with star-shaped chips.
Draco and Harry playfully fed each other a bit of the other's dish to taste it. Teddy giggled when they did that and found it completely adorable.
Finally they ordered dessert. Pansy and Teddy ordered cranberry-almond tartlets, Narcissa and Harry cappuccino soufflé, Andromeda a pumpkin brownie and Draco a coffee crème brûlée.
After they were done Draco paid for all of them even though some wanted to split it. He just needed to feel in charge of something again.
They decided to walk around a bit before heading back home. Teddy was mountain in Harry's shoulders until he felt sleepy and Harry carrie him all the way to the car.
Draco was oblivious to what went around them, he was concentrated on how tenderly Harry was acting. His heart was fluttering when Harry took off his coat in order to get off the car with teddy still sound asleep to keep him warm.
He followed Harry up to Teddy's room and Teddy yawned softly and woke up just to change to the pyjamas and went back to sleep. Harry tucked teddy into bed and turned on the bear night light before leaving with Draco and turning the lights off.
They all said goodnight to each other and went up to their respective rooms.
Harry came up behind Draco who was looking at the stars from their window and kissed his cheek. Draco's sighed contently and leaned back to the warm embrace. It was crazy how even with layers of jumpers and blankets he could only feel warm with Harry.
"Do you want a cup of warm tea?" Harry whispered to him.
Draco nodded taking his hand and going down with him to the kitchen. Harry took his wand to heat up the water quickly and placed a tea bag on each cup and sat next to Draco.
"Teddy really likes you." Draco commented.
Harry looked over at him, "I was so nervous Teddy wouldn't like me, I know how important this is to you. Now can you tell me about what your mum told you?"
Draco sighed and scooted closer to Harry. "She's cursed, that's why she's so unusually skinny. My father thought of this as a plan to scare you off and there is a cure but you don't have to worry about that."
Harry took Draco's hand in his and kissed his forehead tenderly. "I can help you, you know that. If you're not ready to tell me, that's alright, but just know that you can always come to me and I will help you out."
"I appreciate that," Draco sipped some of his tea.
Harry grabbed Draco's hand and massaged his knuckles. They sipped their teas in comfortable silence and not letting go is each other. Draco heart fluttered every time he would catch Harry's glances or when Harry gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.
After their tea, both boys got ready for bed. "I forgot to tell you," Draco said slipping on Harry's jersey, "my mum and aunt are going to get Teddy's presents tomorrow so they want us and Pansy to take him somewhere in muggle London. Pansy and I don't know where we could go but I wanted to see if you had an idea."
Harry pondered for a while to check his possible options. "How about we spend the whole day in muggle London so I can take all of you to different places?"
Draco beamed. "I love that idea."
Harry grinned at him, "well we shall get to sleep, goodnight."
"Goodnight."
