“So,” Harry said, having settled Draco in a tall, plush chair in the lounge, his nicest room. He spread the bags of snacks out on his coffee table and sat across, on the new, blue velvet couch. “When did you start visiting Teddy?”

Draco opened his Stella and took a tiny, experimental sip. From the look on his face, he found it acceptable. Harry relaxed a bit and opened the bag of cheddar popcorn.

“After Mum and I were acquitted, Aunt Andromeda invited us over. I was scared to accept, but Mum insisted. She kept talking about blood, family, legacy….”

“That’s why you play with Teddy?” Harry couldn’t help but frown.

“I first visited to satisfy Mum,” Draco said, picking at the label on his bottle and not looking at Harry. “But Aunt Andromeda pushed me to hold Teddy, feed him. The first time he fell asleep while I was holding him, I… I guess I just fell in love.”

Harry looked at Draco. His ears were burning red, he was scowling, the label on his beer was utterly ruined. He was desperately embarrassed, Harry realized. “You probably think boys shouldn’t love babies,” Draco muttered. “You probably think that’s gay.”

Upset, Harry put the Doritos down. “Wow,” he said, annoyed and sad. “That’s so fucked I hardly know where to start.”

Draco’s head shot up but Harry ignored him.

“I’m my father’s legacy, yeah? He was murdered at 21. I’m all he has to show for his life. If he hadn’t loved me as a baby, where would I be? What would I be?”

“Dads are different,” Draco mumbled.

“Fine,” Harry said. “But one, I love Teddy very much, and two, I’m gay. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with either of those, but they have nothing to do with each other.”
