Harry was gearing up for a fight; Draco winding up right along with him, when Andromeda swept in, effortlessly redirecting everyone’s attention. Draco noticed immediately — if his aunt had cried — there was no visible evidence. She’d been gone ages, though, so he thought she must have.

“Harry dear, you’re here. Lovely.”

She smiled warmly at all three of them. Draco watched Harry resettle Teddy. Teddy dropped his rabbit and put his head on Harry’s shoulder.

“I made tea, and we have nibbles. Follow me into the kitchen please, all of you.”

Draco grabbed the stuffed rabbit yet again, and followed.

Draco worried he and Harry would fight, either after they left the house or — far worse — in front of Aunt Andromeda. But he wasn’t the only one working to keep the peace. He and Harry, he realized as took another fig, must have been sparring audibly. He breathed deeply and tried not to blush.

They all kept the conversation pretty light for a while: the weather, the baby, the most pleasant of recent newspaper headlines.

Draco felt himself relaxing, comforted. They were going to have a serious conversation, he knew they were; but it was good to do this, first.

Calm down and then hash it out without fighting. *nods*

well - Andy means well, but the boys have a lot to overcome. And I wonder if Draco is ready to make his own choices even if Harry might not like the choice?

yeah, they both have been destroyed by the years before. I honestly think they both need therapy before there can be a healthy relationship between them. Maybe Draco decides to leave England because he needs to figure out who HE is without Narcissa trying to marry him off to Harry because that would be advantageous.

In my eyes, she is not any better than Lucius was in that regard. It is only about prestige, not about healing her hurt child. If she wants that, she needs to let him go.

And Harry, well I think he would be better of somewhere where they don't know him. Who knows where life leads these boys.

I love this verse, I love that it is not just about a happy ending, although of course I hope that with time these two can find happiness in each other. But right now they are way too young and to hurt, for that.
