52Chapter 46

Harry stared at the note that Hedwig had brought him a few minutes after dinner.

Meet me in the room your wolf used to spend his full moons.

-LM

It was a couple of days after he had talked to Snape so the note made sense. But he had been expecting Lucius to tell Snape anything important and then Snape to tell him. He hadn't planned on the man wanting to meet with him himself.

Making up his mind, he rushed along the hallways until he found the Slytherin door and knocked. He wondered what the poor Slytherin that opened the door would think, Harry Potter knocking on their common room door asking for Draco Malfoy. But he didn't really care. Him, Draco, and Blaise had started spending more time together in the hallways and in classes. His roommates weren't thrilled, though most didn't comment, besides Ron. So, it shouldn't be too big of a surprise, right?

He didn't recognize the girl that opened the door, her eyes widened when she recognized him then she made a squealing sound that reminded him of Ginny and she turned and rushed away. He had to swallow a giggle at her actions because he could see others in the room and he didn't want them to think he was laughing at her.

A second later Blaise and Draco appeared, the blonde shoving Harry backwards until Blaise could close the door behind them.

"What's wrong?" His mate asked the second they no longer had an audience, well besides Blaise.

"Nothing," Harry said, shifting his feet a little. Maybe he should have thought about what to tell Draco before he rushed over here. He hadn't even told the blonde that he had spoken to Snape about well anything, let alone about Voldemort and Lucius. Shit, he really should have told him, Draco was going to be mad about him keeping secrets, not that he meant to, it just slipped his mind.

"Potter." There was a growl hidden in his name and Harry looked up to see Draco's eyes shift to their cat like form and he swallowed. He must have really zoned out to get that kind of reaction out of the blonde. He looked at Blaise to see that even the other slytherin looked concerned.

"I kinda asked Snape to ask your dad about Voldemort, and here-" He shoved the note at Draco.

Draco read over the note before muttering and "Incendio."

"Well let's go then," the blonde said, taking Harry's hand and starting down the hallway. Harry turned to look behind them to see Blaise shaking his head in silent laughter before the other slytherin started following them.

They made sure no one saw them as they raced across the yard and stunned the Willow. Blaise looked a little worried about walking close to the tree but he followed behind them anyways.

When they entered the room at the end of the tunnel, Snape and Lucius were already there. They had a small table and chair set up, and the room looked cleaner. Neither man looked surprised when the three entered the room, not even when Draco refused to let go of Harry's hand when he greeted his father. Harry watched Snape and saw the man looked mildly amused about it.

They had barely sat down before Lucius pulled out an envelope and handed it to Draco. The blonde gave his father and then Harry a confused look before he opened it. It took barely a second before Draco was out of his seat and was hugging his father and then Snape. Then just as fast he was lunging at Harry. The kiss was quick and surprising, Harry didn't even have time to register it before Draco was pulling away.

"Thank you," his mate said. Harry had no clue what he was being thanked for. He reached for the envelope but before reading it looked at Lucius to see if it was okay, the man nodded.

It was a copy of the Dissolution of marriage and a Marriage certificate.

"Holy-" He muttered and looked at the two men. Both looked happy and were smiling.

"Congratulations," he said, meaning it, he was happy for them. His comment must have caused Blaise's to lose patience as the other teen moved close enough to look at the paper over Harry's shoulder.

"Does that mean I call you Professor Malfoy in class?" The slytherin asked with an excited grin. Draco and Snape both groaned but Lucius chuckled.

"I will be keeping my last name for now. There are certain people who can not know of our marriage yet," the man said, looking at the three of making sure they understood.

"Yes Sir," they said together.

"Now for the other matter," Lucius said before dropping a destroyed diary, fang free thankfully, onto the table before them.

Harry jumped to his feet and backed away from it and the table the second his mind told him what it was. How could he have forgotten that he had given it back to the man after everything was done. He swallowed around air as he tried to will away images of the chamber, Ginny, Tom, and the basilisk.

"Harry?" He heard his name, knew it was Draco, but he couldn't see past the diary and the chamber he was somehow standing in again. Panic overwhelmed him and he needed to get away.

He startled when arms wrapped around him, pinning him in place, he started to struggle against them thinking that it was Tom, which didn't make sense the ghost or memory or whatever the hell it was had never touched him, and it sure as hell wouldn't have been gentle and purring?

Then the sweet scent of plums filled his nose and Harry relaxed. The chamber fell away and he was back in the shack, Snape, Blaise, and Lucius stood in front of him all three a little pale, not that Harry cared at the moment. All he cared about was his mate behind him. He turned in Draco's arms and buried his nose against the blonde's neck. The smell of plums deepening. He breathed it in and let the calm safe feeling wash over him.

He whimpered sometime later when Draco tried to separate them. He tightened his arms and pulled his mate back against him. When the blonde tried again, Harry growled at him and used all his strength to hold him in place.

There was a huff from his mate, but Harry didn't care. He just held tight.

"Harry," Draco said softly against his ear. "We have to finish talking to my fathers and then we can go to bed," Harry whined, "together," his mate added.

Harry pulled back enough to look at Draco wanting to make sure he meant it. What he didn't expect was Draco to gasp and grab his chin, holding Harry's head in place. Harry leaned into the touch liking the warm feeling that bloomed in his chest at the touch. Then Draco was kissing him.

It wasn't like the quick kiss before, hell it wasn't like any kiss before. It was powerful, passionate, and overwhelming. He didn't understand why he whimpered and loosened his arms around Draco, but when his mate pushed him backwards against the wall he didn't care.

Soon he couldn't just smell and feel Draco, he could taste him. The flavor of plums filled his mouth and Harry needed more. He moaned and pressed his tongue against Draco's lips, the blonde groaned and opened his mouth.

Somewhere else in the room, Harry heard their names. He growled and clutched at Draco's robes. His mind screaming that this was his. His mate must have agreed because he too growled, not even pulling away far enough to break their kissing. It sent an excited spark through Harry.

Then ice cold water spilled over the both of them and they broke apart. Harry turned to glare at the other's in the room. While Draco growled and went to lunge at his father, who was the only one with his wand out.

Harry moved to stop him but suddenly Snape was next to him holding his shoulder. He whimpered as Draco lunged at his father. The man held firm and when draco got about two inches away, he muttered a spell and Draco hit the ground...hard. Harry growled and tried to rush to his mate, but Snape wouldn't let him.

"Dragon," Lucius whispered, "I know, and I understand but I need you to think." Harry watched as Draco seemed to look at his father confused before he shook his head and looked back at Harry.

"Hell," the blonde muttered and the tension in the room dissipated.

It also seemed to help Harry's head clear. He blushed, "Sorry," he muttered without looking at anyone.

"Harry, do you understand what just happened?" Snape asked. Yeah, Harry thought, I just snogged the shit out of my boyfriend in the same room as his fathers and best friend… again. He nodded his head.

"I don't think you do," Lucius said. Harry looked up at him, the man was helping Draco to his feet. Draco looked at Harry and held his hand out, Harry felt Snape let him go and he rushed forward to take his mate's hand. Draco quickly transfigured one of the chairs into a love seat and pulled Harry down on his lap. He should have minded but something inside him needed to be close to Draco.

"What did just happen?" Blaise asked once everyone one seated.

"Harry finally emerged," Draco said at the same time Snape and Lucius said, "They bonded."

"We what?" Harry and Draco said together.
