Tom rose an eyebrow.

"Hmmmm out of all the reactions and responses I accounted for that definitely wasn't one." Tom stated

Harry was at a loss for words as Severus walked over picking up Harry's clothing bag.

"I'll put this in your room and let you two get
acquainted."Severus stated.

Harrison frowned. "Sev...." He started but Severus was already gone.

Harry felt Toms eyes on him. He watched as Tom sat.

"You're nervous." Tom stated. "Severus keeps a cabinet full of black herbal tea. He makes it himself and mixes it with calming draught. It works every time " He stated

"I don't want to have tea with the killer of my parents." Harrison muttered sitting on the couch across from him.

"Hmmm that much is expected. I am partly responsible for your mothers death. Your father however was all Dumbledores responsibility."

A small house elf appeared with a platter of tea and finger foods. Tom picked up a cup as the realization hit Harry.

"My father?" Harry asked quietly.

Tom nodded mid sip. "Mmmhmm. Only your mother was home that night. I didn't kill your father. Now some tea?"  Tom asked.

Harrison was silent before picking up a small sandwich.

"What happened to my father...I thought He died in the house." Harry asked

Tom shook his head.

"No. Your father was an Auror and they tend to work night shifts. Your father had you for about 4 more years later." He stated taking a long sip. "The tea is exceptional today." Tom stated

"And what happened to him?" Harry asked picking up a cup of tea.

Tom frowned. "What always happens? He ran to Dumbledore. You're father was many things, but he wasn't dumb and he went digging..." Tom stopped speaking smiling as Severus came walking back in sitting beside Tom he held out some tea. Severus took the cup taking a sip.

Harry watched before taking a sip from his.

"So you're saying Dumbledore killed my birth father?" Harrison asked slowly.

Severus frowned. "Thomas...we agreed not to."

Tom shrugged. "If we are to start training he needs to know the truth and that I can be trusted. I can feel he's hesitant still."

"WE agreed and I'm holding you to that. The story will come after he's mastered the art."

Harrison watched his hands forming fists at the new news.

"I'm ready to start..."

.....

Harry sat back rubbing his temples drinking some water. It had only been a week and Vold- Tom had seen everything. Harry closed his eyes. Now Tom knew who knew his secret and worse or all he knew him and Draco were-

His thoughts were suddenly replied to.

"I won't tell anyone your secrets Harrison. The point of me teaching you is so no one can ever have this invasive access to you. " Tom stated looking rather bored.

Harry looked up.

"We'll excuse me if I'm unsure about what you will and won't do." Harry stated.

"This is about the things the Tom in your timeline did?"

Harrison paused looking up at Tom.

"Severus told you? He swore-" Harry began.

Tom held his hand up.

"Severus didn't tell me anything. Yes him and I are very close but he wouldn't do that. I can put two and two together and You and I are connected. This Voldemort... In your timeline, tell me about him." Tom stated.

Harry didn't say anything before sighing.

"You...He killed both my parents. With none of Dumbledores help. He is a power hungry monster." Harrison stated.

"Was." Tom corrected "He was a monster. That timeline is no more remember. So don't hold onto the pain of that. It only gives you more things to hold onto and it makes you and easier target. You're bursting with secrets, memories and thoughts." Tom looked off thinking aloud.  "It really is a wonder how Dumbledore hasn't gotten you." Tom stated just as Severus walked in.

"Taking a break?" Severus asked holding out a cup of tea.

"It would seem so." Tom stated taking the tea. "Fancy a walk Severus? While I give Harrison a break?" He asked.

Severus nodded. "15 minutes then back at it." Severus stated walking out with Tom rather closely.

Harry rose hearing the door close. He missed Draco. He hadn't received many letter and he was surprised. Maybe Draco was busy.

Harrison walked over to the fire place. He wanted to see a friendly face even if it was just Blaise.

"Zabini manor" Harry whispered tossing the powder stepping through.

....

Harry walked into Blaise's room his jaw immediately dropping seeing Blaise tangled up with a familiar red head.

Harry immediately covered his eyes tripping over Blaise trunk.

"I'll be outside" Harry dashed to the door stepping out.

Harry heard a chuckle. "Boy am I glad I'm not you"

Harry looked up seeing Fred.

"George and Blaise?" Harry asked.

Fred geastured for Harrison to walk with him.

"Yes. Trust me I was a bit shocked. I think it's a no strings attached situation." Fred stated taking them down the stairs and into the living room.

"Other than upstairs...what are you guys doing here?" Harrison asked sitting.

"Blaise actually invited us to spend Christmas here. It's usually just him and his mom in an insainly big house... not that I'm complaining."Fred said.

"Oh Harry! I thought I heard your voice?" Came a woman that Harry immediately knew was Blaises mother.

Harry smiled rising just as she pulled him into a tight hug. "What a pleasant surprise! It's so good to see you." She said pulling back.

Harry smiled. "Good to see you too Ms.Zabini." He stated.

She smiled. "You'll be staying for a late lunch correct? I'll go set an extra plate." She walked back into the kitchen as Blaise came downstairs in pants and a green shirt.

"Remind me to put an alarm on my floo system yeah Harry?" Blaise said.

Harry nodded "Definitely."

Blaise sat. "So what's up? "

Harrison shrugged "Just wanted to see a friendly face" he stated.

Blaise rose an eyebrow.

"And? Maybe you should work on your lying skills." Blaise stated rising geasturing for Harry to follow.

Harry rose waving bye to Fred before walking beside Blaise and then outside of the manor around the path.

"What's wrong?" Blaise asked. "I'm glad to see you. However I did have a fiery man in my bed." He stated.

"One...gross" Harry sighed. "And two I really just needed to get some air and see friends so I came here." He said truthfully.

Blaise nodded. "You didn't go to Draco's?"

Harry shook his head.

"No..He hasn't written any letter so I figured he was busy." Harry stated sitting on a bench.

Blaise looked surprised.

"I don't believe that...there has to be a reason." Blaise stated. "Come on. Let's go figure it out."

Blaise pulled Harry along stepping outside of his house ward apparating to Malfoy manor and into Draco's room.

There was a loud POP as the two landed.

Harry watched Draco jump from his desk.  Quill in hand accidentally spilling ink.

"Merlin Blaise! You're making me start to regret getting you permission to apparate here." Draco rose dabbing up the ink.

"Well Draco. We actually came here-" Blaise began before Draco spoke.

"We?" He turned around. "Harrison!" He said.

Harrison smiled surprised as Draco hugged him.

"Good to know I was missed" Harry stated.

"Of course I missed you. Should I have been sending more letters every day?" Draco asked pulling back.

Blaise smiled. "Told you."

Draco looked at Blaise. "Told him what?"

"Harry came over saying he hadn't received any letters from you and said it was because you were busy." Blaise stated.

Draco rose an eyebrow. "You didn't get any of my letters?"

Harrison shook his head. "No."

"We'll I wrote them. I mean I was about to owl another one to you." Draco stated pointing to the ruined parchment before going to clean it up.

Blaise walked to the door. "Maybe you just missed them?"

Harry shook his head.

"There's no way. I look for them before  I start training, during my training break and then right once I finish training and go to bed." Harry stated.

Blaise shrugged. "I'll check the owlry" he walked out.

Draco whistled.

"They have you training a lot. How's it going?" Draco asked.

Harry sighed.

"It's exhausting. Tom is nonstop railing my mind. It's lesson after lesson after lesson. " Harry stated sitting on the bed.

Draco walked over sitting beside Harry wrapping an arm around him.

"Im not a fan of your word choice, but I'm sure you're doing better than you think. If Sev believes you can do it then so do I. I mean he only wants what's best for you." Draco stated.

"Yeah I know but every time I look up all I see are the eyes or Riddle and the killer or my parents." Harry stated before pausing.

Draco sat up.

"Wait what? Riddle? Killer of your parents? You're training with Voldemort!?" Draco whispered harshly.

Harry cursed having let it slip.

"You can't say anything Draco! I wasn't supposed to say anything-"

Draco's bedroom door opened. Narcissa stepped in before followed by an unhappy Severus.

Harry rose. "Sev!"

"I don't want to hear it Harrison. You took advantage of a break." Severus stated grabbing floo powder tossing it into Draco's fireplace stating their home . "Now go first since you clearly cannot be trusted."

Harry's sighed, Draco giving him a sorry look.

"I'll see you on Christmas." Draco stated.

Severus shook his head. "With the way things are going Harrison may be using EVERY LAST DAY to master legitimacy and occlumency."

Harry was surprised. "But Sev that's not fair!"

Severus crossed his arms. "Currently I don't care. Ive heard about enough out of you. You didn't even leave a note! Now for the last time Harrison Tobias Snape go!" Severus said raising his voice.

Harrison scurried into the fireplace.

Harrison stepped through into Severus living room. Tom stood there looking out the window turning to face Harry.

"I'm glad he found you. You gave him a scare." Tom stated.

Severus came through a second later still arms crossed. He looked at Harry silently.

Harry could tell Severus was thinking of something.

"Go back your bags Harrison. The rest of Holiday break will be spent at Toms place." Severus stated.

Harrison's mouth dropped.

"What? No! I promised Draco we'd spend Christmas together! It would be our first one as a couple! You know how important that is!" Harry explained.

Severus' face didn't change. "I'm not asking Harrison...now go."

Harrison felt his heart drop. He looked at Severus for any sign or hope but was met with a stonewall. Harrison turned walking out and to his room tossing some clothes together. Harry sighed. He was mad, beyond man. He looked at his door. He wanted to spend Christmas with Draco and he was going to convince Severus to do so.

Harry stopped packing. He walked back out with a new found determination. He paused hearing Tom speaking.

"Maybe we should put a stop for lessons today. It seems like everyone needs to breathe Severus. I want Harrison to be able to defend himself but maybe working on Christmas is counter productive ..." Tom said.

Harry looked into the living room watching the two sitting beside each other. Tom having a hand on Severus shoulder.

Harry watched as Severus eyes turned to Tom. He watched Severus eyes soften.

"He revealed to someone you were alive Tom...Dumbledore almost killed you before and now Harrison telling people your alive is doing the same thing. We survived this long but If you were to get hurt because I asked you  for help... I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. I can barely sleep worrying about Harrison and now you. I want Harry safe and alive but it seems like he doesn't even care." Severus stated.

Harry was silent hearing this.

"It's not that he doesn't care Severus. It's that he's young. He's only thinking of being there for others and taking unecessary risks. I remember knowing someone like that...." Tom said quietly.

Severus shook his head.

"Don't compare us Thomas..." Sev said quietly.

"Why not?" Tom asked. "It's one of my favorite things about the man I love. I mean look at you. Youve risked yourself multiple times for him and others. The day I got hurt, you could have left me, but instead you took and nursed me to health. If you ask me it's like father like son." Tom stated.

Severus sighed looking down. "He's never going to see me as his father and to be frank I was prepared for that it's just..I didn't expect parenting to be this hard."

Harry's chest hurt hearing Severus speaking so honest.

Harry muttered a silencing spell. He walked back to his room before packing his trunk silently once done sitting on the bed.

There was a light knock on Harry's door. He looked up surprised to see Tom.

"I'm already packed. Are we leaving now?" Harry asked rising.

Tom stepped inside closing the door keeping the distance between them as he shook his head.

"He worries about you a lot you know? He's not doing this out of spite. I'm sure he was looking forward to spending Christmas with his son. Usually it's just him and I join in." Tom stated.

Harrison sighed having not even thought about a Christmas with Severus.

"I didn't mean to just leave. I was exhausted and I Draco was supposed to be writing to me to keep me sain..." Harry shared.

"He did... and an absurd amount if I'm honest..." Tom stated reaching in his robes pulling out a stack of letters. "I wanted you focused, so I simply put the letters in a draw." Tom stated as Harry looked at them.

"I didn't realize how important they were." He held them out Harry rising taking them immediately opening one.

Tom watched. "We leave in the morning. That way you can tell Severus goodbye."

"Sev isn't coming?" Harry asked having assumed otherwise lowering the letter.

"No, but perhaps he'll join us in a few days. He's behind on his potions and lots of other work plus.... We agreed maybe some space and time between you two will calm things down. He's a first time father and your a first time son, both still learning the ropes." Tom gave him a smile before he turned opening the door again.

"Wait uh...Tom I'm sorry about saying your name. It slipped out" Harry stated setting aside the letter.

Tom nodded.

"Just do less talking about what goes on here...and more practicing" He stated walking out.

Harrison sighed looked at the letters for the next few hours lighting his fireplace as it grew chilly.

Soon the same house elf from before appeared holding out a plate of food.

Harry sat up.

"Thank you.. I assume Sev isn't eating?" Harry asked.

The house elf shook his head.

"He his but requested his food be brought to his quarters." The house else stated.

Harry nodded. "Okay thanks" he stated watching as the house elf vanished.

Harry jumped lightly hearing Draco's voice.

"So how bad is it?"

Harry turned seeing the outline of Draco's face in the fireplace having firecalled.

Harry closed the door walking over sitting.

"Scale of 1-10 it's a solid 8." Harry stated.

"So then no Christmas?" Draco asked.

Harry sighed. "As of right now apparently not. I'm sorry Dray."

"Hey, atleast I got to see you today. Maybe I'll just stop by ON Christmas." Draco stated.

Harry smiled. "That would be a good idea but I won't be here. Severus is sending me to someplace to focus solely on Legilimency and Occlumency."

"Wait just you? He's not going?" Draco asked surprise in his voice.

Harry nodded.

"Well Merlin Harry Severus is as a level 10. I never thought he'd send you alone."

"I was saving a 10 for like if he puts me back for adoption" Harry stated.

"Nah. He wouldn't ever put you up so him sending you off is definitely a 10 or a 9." Draco stated.

Harry sighed yawning.

"I guess I'll see you maybe closer to the end of break?" Harry asked.

"I'll count down the days" Draco said dramatically before ending the call.

.....

Harry sat up, he hadn't sleep well thinking of today.

He grabbed his trunk before making his way to the front door seeing Severus in the kitchen drinking coffee.

Harrison set his trunk down before slowly walking into the kitchen.

"I'm sorry again dad..." Harrison stated.

Severus looked up.

"It seems like I'm always apologizing and you're always coming to fetch me but I am sorry..."  Harry stated before sitting ." And I'm not arguing about going with Tom. You think it's best so I'll go, but I would appreciate if you were there or I was allowed back here on Christmas to spend with you?" Harrison asked.

Severus nodded as the house elf laid a plate in front of Harrison.

"Of course you're allowed to Harry. I wouldn't have you spend Christmas away from me." Severus stated with a tired smile.

Just then Tom walked through the living room shrinking Harry's trunk.

"All set to go Harrison?" He asked.

Harry nodded rising.

Severus walked with them into the living room. He hugged Harrison before Tom placed his hand in Harrison shoulder apparating.

.....

Harry landed on his feet looking around. The house seemed similar to Severus, however decorated with a silver accent and having books laying around.

Tom spoke.

"Follow me and I'll set you up in the guest bedroom then you can read how to train your mind and we can start." Tom walked out the room.

Harry picked up his trunk looked around as he walked pausing when he saw a picture of Tom and Severus smiling.

Harry caught back up with Tom walking into the guest bedroom setting his things down.

"Unpack and start reading for the next hour." Tom stated laying a book down on his bedside table. He handed Harry his trunk then turned walking out the door.

Harry spoke.

"Wait..Back at Severus place you said Dumbledore killed my father... How did he do it? Did you see it?" Harry asked.

Tom shook his head.

"I didn't see it through my own eyes but I did see it through someone else's " Tom stated.

"Can I see it?" Harry asked quietly.

Tom watched Harry for a few seconds.

"Yes, but first master Legilimency and I'll let you see everything." Tom then left.

Harrison groaned before unpacking picking up the book starting to read.

....

Harry hated to admit it but after being at Toms place and having little to no distractions he started learning faster and seeing Tom in a new light.

Harrison walked near Toms office lightly watching him work. He noticed that this Tom made potions but if he wasn't doing that he was reading .

Harry focused on Tom slowly reaching out.

He felt himself sliding into Toms thoughts hearing him reading.

He was reading to Harry's surprise a transfiguration book.

He kept his magic gentle before looking for his father's memory immediately feeling Tom shove him out.

Tom looked up. "What have I told you time and time again?"

Harry sighed.

"Be slow and stead" Harry stated.

Tom nodded.

" I impressed you've gotten in. However you have to convince the mind your in to want to REMEMBER what your looking for. You have a higher chance of getting it that way." Tom geastured Harry inside. "Once you're fully in then you have access to do as you please. If they CANT sense you then they CANT stop you."

Harry stepped inside. "I know I know." He sat.

Tom closed the book.

"Good. Now let's do some occlumency." Tom stated rising moving to infront of Harrison. "Remember-"

Harry cut him off.

"Keep my mind busy." Harry finished for him.

Tom smiled slightly with a nod before using invading Harry's mind.

By now Harry was use to Toms approach. However sometimes he missed it with how smooth he slid in. Harry immediately started counting, reliving his favorite quidditch moments and lastly Draco before finding Tom forcing him back out.

Tom smiled sitting back clapping lightly.

"Two weeks but you're getting close! Dumbledores approach is hard and fast. So you'll be able to sense him and throw him out. It's Christmas Eve however. After Christmas I think is a good time to start training on how to feed any intruders inaccurate information or memories. I think that will be helpful in your case." Tom stated rising.

Harry nodded. "I agree. I finished this by the way." Harry handed him the book.

Tom nodded taking it. "We'll then as for now you can have the next few hours off."

"Can I see the memory now?" Harrison asked.

"After Christmas." Tom stated. "Now run along before I change my mind. I'm sure your boyfriend will be happy to see you."

Harry smiled. "Okay, thanks Tom"

Harry walked out

...
Harry apparated to the Malfoy manor around 6pm. He had Bippy quietly get him some things before sticking his head into Draco's room through the door that connected their room.

Harry watched Draco working on something.

Harry took a breath before using his training slowly sliding into Draco's mine removing when he said Toms name moving back out.

Harry felt a little guilty invading Draco's mine. Harry took a deep breath before turning apparating back to Toms.

"That was quick." Tom stated looking up.

"Yeah...I figured I'd see Draco later. Mastering this and helping Sev not worry as much comes first. And well I removed the memory so Dray doesn't remember who's training me." Harry stated.

At the same time Severus walked out of Toms kitchen looking surprised.

"I appreciate that" Tom said with a smile taking some tea.

Harry was surprised to see Sev waking over hugging him.

"I'm thankful for you you know right? I've learned a lot" Harry said.

Severus nodded. "I do. That being said let's all eat and you can go to Draco's and spend the night there."

Harry nodded an hour later Severus apparating Harry there.

Harry immediately made his way to Draco's room slipping inside finding the shower running.

Harry smiled to himself before walking into the bathroom muttering a privacy spell.

"You know I never understood how you could take such long showers but now I see it's to wash and spell your hair." Harry stated looking at the counter of hair products hearing something drop in the shower.

Draco stuck his head out. "Harry? What are you doing here?" He asked surprised shampoo still in his hair.

SMUT ALERT 🚨 
look for this font again to skip!:)

"Don't worry. I got the okay from my dad this time." He stated looking Draco up and down.

"Need any help?" Harry asked walking over closer to Draco. "I've missed you."

Draco looked at Harrison before stepping back opening the door wider rinsing his hair.

Harry smiled lightly climbing out of his clothes tossing them in the hamper stepping in immediately kissing Draco holding him against the wall.

Draco smiled. "Mmm I thought you said help?" He asked.

Harry smiled. "Mmmhmm I am helping...myself to you." Harry whispered kissing Draco's neck. "I got those letters by the way." Harry stated pulling back. "Consider this my thank you."

"I don't need a thank yo-" Draco paused as Harry wrapped his hand around Draco's member slowly moving his hand.

"I could stop if you don't want this thank you?" Harry suggested.

Draco shook his head laying his head on Harry's shoulder biting his lip. "Mmph no don't stop." Draco whispered giving a quiet moan

Harry smirked. "I don't plan on it. You're hot when you moan." Harry kissed his neck again just then as the bathroom door cracked open from someone opening Draco's bedroom door.

"Draco dear who are you thinking to invite over for Christmas dinner tomorrow?" Came Narcissas voice.

The two jumped apart knocking over a bottle.

"Everything okay in there?" Came her concerned voice.

"Yes!" Draco yelled ."I'm just not dressed. Still in the shower"

Narcissa stopped at the door standing back in Draco's bedroom as Harry muttered a privacy spell. The shower had tall white marble walls that kept him hidden.

Draco stuck his head around the corner to be heard better. "As for guests I was thinking Blaise, his mom, their guests and mmph-" Draco bit his lips feeling Harry stand behind him his hands on Dracos waist pulling him back. Harry wrapped his arm around Dracos member continuing the same pace

"Harrison!" Draco whispered holding back a moan.

"That much is clear Draco. Harrison and Severus will always come. Actually Harrison should be here if he's not here already he should be here soon." She stated.

Harrison smiled. "You told me yourself not to stop." Harry whispered placing hot kisses on Draco's neck. "You know you have a cute arse...I wonder if you've ever done it hmmm?" Harry asked in Draco's ear pulling him back against his member.

"Don't you dare, not with my mother in the other room?" Draco whispered.

Harry smiled picking up the pace rubbing Draco's tip with his thumb. "Well have you?" Harry asked

A moan slipped out as Draco covered his own mouth turning a light shade of red shaking his head.

"Have you heard from Harry Draco?" Narcissa asked.

"Mmm no. I'll call him afterwards mum. I'm trying to relax."Draco complained.

"It's fine I can give them a call!" Narcissa stated.

Harry smiled flipping Draco. Around going down and taking him in his mouth.

"MERLIN!"! Draco called out tossing his head back. "Mmph No! I'll call him in an hour mom. I have to tell him some things but you and I can talk later." Draco stated running his hand through Harry's wet hair watching him move quickly feeling his tongue swirl around his member. Draco shuttered his hips bucking.

"Alright alright.." She stated before walking out of Draco's room closing the door.

Harry slowed down looking up at Draco with a smile.

Draco looked down at him shaking his head.

"You teasing prat. Don't stop now." Draco whispered taking Harry's head sliding him member back in Harry's welcoming mouth.

Harry was slightly surprised before obeying continuing gagging as Draco held his head down for several seconds before finally letting out a low moan climaxing in and completely down Harrys throat. Harry pulled back taking a breath as Draco pulled him up smashing their lips together rinsing them both off.

Draco pulled Harry out of the shower muttering a dry spell grabbing a towel drying his hair off "You don't just come in here and turn a guy on Harry." Draco stated picking up his wand locking the doors pushing Harry on the bed.

Harry smiled shaking his head. "Oh I'm not finished with you Dragon." Harry whispered the name switch confusing Draco as Harry grabbed his waist pulling him down pinning him on the bed.

"I want to be your first Dray." Harry whispered laying soft kisses in Draco's collarbone.

Draco looked up at him before looking down at Harry's member looking back up licking his lips nodding.

"I want that too" Draco whispered muttering a spell lubing himself up and Harry's member.

"You'll have to teach me that." Harry whispered kissing Draco's lips again. "I'm not going to stop until you're a withering mess."

🚨 END OF SMUT 🚨

The two jumped as their was a knock on the door.

Lucius on the other side.

"Draco get dressed and open up. There's someone I'd like you to meet." Lucius said.

Harry cursed rolling off as Draco sat up looking worried.

Harry smiled zipping his lips before sliding some of Draco's shorts on and a green shirt on slipping into the closet.

Draco got dressed in his silk green pajamas drying and styling his hair before unlocking it.

Lucius smiled. "Come on downstairs" he said guiding him out the room.

Harry watched Draco look back desperately

....

Draco internally groaned as his father lead him downstairs. He had been THIS close to finally doing it with Harry and it was everything he would have imagined.

Draco looked up hearing his mother clear her throat.

"Draco this is Celest." She stated

Beside his mother stood a girl with long black hair and blue eyes. She wasn't ugly but Draco wasn't sure why she was there.

"Pleasure to meet you Celest..." He stated looking at his parents. Draco wondering what Harry's hair would look like if he grew it out. Draco smiled if Harry did grow it out Draco would have more to grab when he finally got to rail Harry.

Lucius cleared his throat.

"She's who you'll be marrying." Lucius stated geasturing to her again.

Draco drew a blank seeing his parents nodding her way.

"My apologies Celest...." Draco stated stepping forward taking her hand placing a light kiss just as Harry stepped through their fireplace.

"Sorry I'm late Cissa. I ran into some things" Harry stated his hair still wet pausing seeing the scene before him keeping a stone face glancing at Draco's lips on her hand. Draco pulled back after the kiss not to cause a scene.

"Harry great! This is Celest, Draco's future wife. Celest this is Harry. Draco's best friend and future best man."'Lucius said with a smile.

Celest gave a smile walking over to Harry her hand extended.

"Hello Harry." She said

Harry looked at her hand. "It's Harrison to you" He said coldly looking at Draco.

Narcissa notice Harry's wet hair. "Let's leave these two to get acquainted. Let's dry off that hair Harry before you catch a cold." She stated guiding Harry out of the room.

Celest rose an eyebrow.

Lucius looked where Harry left. "He's usually a bit more friendly." Lucius stated.

Draco nodded. "He's been doing a lot of training over Christmas break so that's why he's grouchy. He's probably exhausted."

Lucius nodded. "Yes with his father so don't worry. Why don't you take Celest upstairs Draco. Take her to the guest suite."

Draco looked surprised.

"To the guest suite?" Draco asked.

Lucius nodded.

"Yes Draco, she won't be sleeping in your room JUST yet!" Lucius said winking walking out.

Draco sputtered running after his father into the next room where his mother was as well drying Harry hair.

"Christmas was just supposed to be the four of us dad. You know... our FAMILY!" He said hushly.

"She is eventually going to become part of our family Draco." Lucius stated. "And you shouldn't have left her in there alone."

Draco shook his head looking at Harrison who was looking out a window looking distant.

"I don't want to marry her." Draco stated.

Harrison looked at him.

Narcissa looked at Draco.

"Don't be so rash Draco. You haven't even given her a chance." Lucius stated. "She comes from a wealthy and powerful family."

"What your father means to say is marriage isn't up next just yet Draco. For now get to know her is all we're asking." Cissa said patting Harry's head. "Talk some sense into him yeah? Lucius and I will show Celest around." She took Lucius hand walking out.

Draco sighed when Harry rose walking upstairs into his room looking out a window.

Draco followed after him. "Harry...."

Harry didn't say anything. "I worked my arse off you know... to be able to even come here on Christmas. Do you know how hard it is to learn let alone become good at Occlumency and Legilimency?"

"Harry come on. You know I wanted to spend Christmas with you just as much or even more than you." Draco stated closing the doors.

"You say you did but your actions speak otherwise. I mean seriously Draco I was ready to fuc- no I was ready to make love to you and you can't even tell your parents you want to be with ME ON CHRISTMAS !" Harry snapped watching Draco mutter a privacy spell.

"Don't make it like this is all on me!" Draco stated.

"It practically is!" Harry snapped "I'm not asking for you to scream from the rooftops that you love me but I don't want to hide when they come around or find you kissing a girls hand! Be you own person!"

Draco rolled his eyes. "Your only like this because you were FORCED out the closet." Draco stated.

"No. I feel like this BECAUSE it's how I feel. Severus already knows I like you. Merlin EVERYONE of my friends knows that I'm crazy for you! You're not even meeting me halfway Draco. You wanted Christmas together but what's going on is EXACTLY why I didn't see it as a big deal. The only person Christmas is different for is me because I DONT want to hide anymore." Harry said growing louder.

Harry took a breath. "I don't want to hide the fact that every other second I'm thinking about you! Severus had to send me off because all I wanted was to be with you. Isn't that obvious?" Harry asked walking past him grabbing some clothes.

"You won't scream you like me from the rooftops meanwhile I'd declares to the world that I love you in a heartbeat Draco." Harry stated closing a draw.

Draco paused hearing the L word.

"Love?" Draco asked quietly.

Harry sighed.

"Right now it doesn't even matter. I said I would NEVER tell your parents because I NEVER want to see you hurt and it's your choice, but I can't just sit around watching them play match maker for you Draco....It hurts me..." Harry grabbed more clothes tossing them in a bag.

"I don't wanna hurt you Harry...I never want to do that."Draco said sitting on the bed taking Harry's hand. "Please don't pack your extra things."

Harry sighed squeezing Draco's hand sitting as well.

"I love you too." Draco said quietly. "I'm sorry I've been like this." Draco said quietly touching Harry's face bringing it to his. "I'll do better."

Harry nodded. "That's all I ask. I'd prefer not to have my heart broken by the Slytherin prince."

Draco smiled lightly.

Just then Lucius and Narcissa came walking in.

"There you boys are..."

Harry went to rise letting go pausing when Draco's grip tightened.

Draco rose.

"Mother, father. I've decided that. I won't be marrying or even dating Celest. I like someone else." Draco stated simply.

Narcissa looked at Lucius who frowned.

Narcissa spoke.

"Whom do you have in mind? Tell us her name and we will start the preparations with her family." She stated

Lucius continued. "Meanwhile Celest stays and you guys can get to know each other as a backup plan incase this other girl does not work out." He finished.

"How does that sound? Like a deal?" Narcissa asked trying I meet him halfway but still missing the point.

Draco sighed dropping Harry's hand.

"You guys aren't listening. You just referred to my love life as a backup plan! I'm a person and a wizard. I want to be single and date whomever I want when IM ready? I want to test the waters. I don't care about her money. I don't know her NOR want to!" He snapped. Something he never did to his parents.

Draco sighed "I just want to be a teenager" he looked at Harry tiredly.

"We can go to Severus place. He's not home right now. All you have to do is apparate. You have access." Harry thought using legilimency in Draco's mind.

Draco looked at Harry. Even now he wasn't ushering him to tell his parents.

Draco looked at the time seeing it was 12 am.

"Merry Christmas mom...dad. But the only person that seems to get me and that I want to spend Christmas with is Harry." Draco stated before taking Harry's hand pulling him to his chest.

"I want Harry." Draco stated smashing their lips together.

Harry was surprised barely having time to kiss him back before Draco apparated them to Severus'.

....

Draco pulled back. Harry could see the realization hitting him.

"I can't believe I just did that." He muttered walking back and forth.

Harry smiled. "Me neither but I'm glad you did." He said taking Draco's hand pulling him in his lap.
"I don't want your lips ever touching anyone else yeah?" Harry whispered kissing Draco softly before rising pulling him along to his room.

"I suppose I don't feel like I'm suffocating anymore." Draco said quietly.

"I mean if you like going breathless I can arrange that." Harry said making out with him battling for dominance.

Harry grabbed Draco's waist pulling him close. Harry's hand traveling to Draco's bum.

"Don't fight me on this Dray. There's really no point." He whispered winning the battle pushing Draco back on his bed crawling on top unbuttoning Draco's shirt.

"You left me pretty high and dry back there. We still have some things to finish." Harry whispered spelling Draco's pajama bottoms off.

Draco smiled "So impatient Harry."

"know what I want and that's you."

As soon as Harrys lips met Draco's  skin all else melted away.

🚨 MORE SMUT??? What's going on! 🚨😉
Look for this font again to skip over the smut!

He barely heard Harry mutter a spell before feeling Harry tongue taste every inch of him.

Draco inhaled Harry's lavender scent.

Draco moaned lightly as Harry's caressed his body.

"Harry...." Draco whispered.

"Mmmhmm I know I know." Harry whispered sliding in between Draco legs. "I'm just finding all your sensitive spots and distracting you-" Harry moved forward slowly sliding in moaning himself.

Draco closed his eyes on his back gripping the sheets arching.

"Mmmmph" Draco let out biting his lip. He wanted this he felt himself stretching and feeling Harrison throbbing inside of him.

He felt Harry's mouth nibbling on his ear.

"Open your eyes. I want to see you enjoy this." Harry whispered thrusting completely inside.

Draco's moaned loud looking up into Harry's eyes clouded with lust but also concern holding himself back.

Draco nodded.

Harry smiled. "There he is. Now I'm going to make sure you feel it all and know you're mine." He whispered interlacing his hands with Draco's slowly sliding them above Draco's head kissing him.

Draco didn't fight him kissing Harry back moaning as Harry left them swollen.

Harry picked up the pace. Draco felt Harry pull out just enough to slam back in. Draco gasped only for Harry to attack his lips again.

Draco moaned into Harry's mouth. "Louder. I want to hear you" he whispered moving to Draco's jaw and neck leaving love marks.

Draco no longer cared about composure. He needed Harry.

"I want you to go faster" Draco whispered.

Harry readjust not losing a beat grabbing Draco's hips holding on steady slamming in and out of him hitting his prostate over and over again.

Draco trembled overcome with pleasure wrapping his arms around Harry's neck.

"Mmmm Fuck, H-Harrison." Draco let out holding onto Harry tightly leaving marks on his back. "C-close"

"Mmmm you're so fucking hot like this" Harry whispered.

Draco held on tight as he climaxed moaning loud before feeling Harry guiding his tired body slowly back on the bed.

Draco whined feeling Harry pull out feeling empty.

Harry laid beside him.

"Miss me already?" Harry teased.

Draco rolled his eyes too tired to bicker.

"I like seeing you like this.. On your back and a trembling mess because of me" Harry whispered.

🚨END SMUT!🚨

Harry kissed Draco this time gently. Draco rolled over nesting his head in the crook of Harry's neck.

"You'll always have me you know that right? No matter what." Harry whispered. Draco nodded.

Draco felt Harry running his hand through his hair.

Harry smiled "Merry Christmas by the way."

Draco smiled . "Mmmhmm Merry Christmas Harrison ."

...

Harry woke up the next morning to quiet talking. He sat up pausing when Draco sturred. Harry kissed his cheek lightly before climbing out of bed taking a quick shower heading to the kitchen.

Harry paused as Tom appeared grabbing Harry's shoulder.

"I wouldn't go in there just yet. Severus is talking with the Malfoys." He stated.

Harry glanced that way. "They're here for Draco" Harry sighed. "I want to plead my case." Harry kept walking pausing around the corner when he heard Lucius speak.

"Don't be ridiculous Severus. We still love Harrison but we don't expect this from Draco. He's our heir and its his duty to continue our bloodline. He can't do such with Harry. We already have the perfect girl back at home for him." Lucius stated.

Harry watched Severus groan pausing when Tom walked inside the kitchen with some tea under a glamour.

"Thank you" Severus stated taking a sip. " This is a family friend as for the two...If you break them up I can confirm both boys will hate you. They grew up together and fell in love with each other because of each other's character not heir gender. They've been through a lot and have been hurt protecting each other. What else were you expecting?" Severus asked a slight tone of annoyance.

"We expected them to be best friends and eventually each other's best man... not want to date each other." Lucius stated. "We simply won't allow it. Draco doesn't know what he wants, but he can and will learn how to love Celest."

"And what about Harrison? My son. You were proud of him but now you want to hurt him?" Severus asked.

Narcissa finally spoke.

"Never. Harrison is like a son to us but-"

Severus cut her off.

"But he's not who you want YOUR son to be like or marry." Severus snapped. "You should be ashamed" he stated. "If you break his heart just know you will no longer be involved in Harrison's life. I will make sure of that."

"Enough Sev. Where is he? We can fix Draco." Lucius stated.

"He doesn't need to be fix." Severus stated. "Neither of them do." He slammed his hand on the table.

Harry jumped. He had heard enough.

He looked at Lucius and Narcissa before closing his eyes doing exactly as Tom had taught him.

Harry took several deep breaths as he used Legilimency.

Harry slowly used his magic easily able to find the memory of last night before completely removing it.

Harry opened his eyes to find Tom watching him clearly having felt his magic creeping into the room.

Harry stepped into the room. "Draco is still sleeping but I can bring him back over when he wakes up." Harry stated putting on a smile.

Lucius and Narcissa looked confused before nodding.

"Please do that and don't sneak off again!." Narcissa chastised him before leaving.

Severus looked at Harry but stopped as Tom shook his head leaning over whispering what Harry had done.

"I'm gonna go wake Draco and I'll explain." Harry stated walking back out.

.....

Harry walked in his room finding Draco sitting up with a yawn.

Harry smiled sitting on the bed.

Draco smiled lightly. "Good-morning you." Draco said happily pecking Harrison's lips.

"Morning Blondie." Harry said knowing he had to take away Draco's memory or atleast alter them. If Draco was openly gay he would have to go through the very things Harry himself had feared would happen to him.

"Hmmmm I like that one" Draco stated scanning Harry's face.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

Harry gave a sad smile. "You were right...."

Draco rose an eyebrow taking Harry's hand.

"About what? I don't like seeing you like this Harry." Draco asked.

"Your parents. They want to try to fix you... They don't understand us and I-I don't want you to have to deal with that...to go through that. Of emotionally lose them." Harry whispered.

"As long as I have you I don't care. We could run. They can't force me to get married Harry." Draco argued.

"Shhhh" Harry whispered pulling Draco close so their foreheads were touching. "You don't mean that. You need your mom and dad. Just having Severus here and standing by my side means the world.. Maybe this just isn't the right time for us." Harry muttered a spell healing all the hickies.

Draco shook his head looking into Harry's eyes.

"No Harrison... don't talk like that. Please...." Draco's voice cracked as he grabbed onto Harry's shirt "I choose you okay? I choose you. I'm sorry it took so long!"

"I know Draco and I choose you. Don't apologize.  Relax... We'll always still have each other. And I'll still be by your side, that won't change.  If there's ever danger you'll find me." Harry held up his arm still having the gift Draco gave him. The snake imprint still wrapped around his arm.

"And since I have this.. I want you to have this." Harry held out a silver ring. "It'll keep you safe and let me know where you are if you get into danger."

Draco looked at the ring as Harry slide it onto Draco's pointer finger.

"Harry...why does this feel like a goodbye?" Draco whispered twisting the ring.

Harry sighed. "Because it is or more of a see you later. I could never leave you, but It's not fair for me to ask you to give up you family, just like it wasn't fair for you to ask me to skip learning Legilimency." Harry stated kissing Draco lightly before pulling back.

"Legilimency" he whispered against Draco's lips realization crossing Draco's eyes hearing the spell.

Harry could feel Draco fighting it shaking his head.

"Don't fight it Draco. I'm doing this for you. I'll carry the weight of the world if it'll keep you safe." Harry stated using more magic.

Draco looked away knowing eye contact would only make it easy for Harry. "I don't wanna forget Harry...Please don't make me... PLEASE." He whispered tears appearing at the edge of Draco's eyes.

Harry tilted Draco's head back up both boys holding back tears. Harry wiped Draco's tears away stopping.

"I love you. Don't forget that." Harry whispered kissing him again pulling him close before pulling back taking the memories with him as Draco fell forward leaning against him. Harry wiped his eyes.

Draco groaned sitting up looking around.

"Why am I naked?" He asked looking as Harry.

"You had a few too many fire whiskeys my friend. I let you sleep it off here, but now your parents want you back home. I held them off as long as I could." Harry said dramatically.

Draco smiled. "My hero! What would I do without you?"

Harry shrugged. "We will NEVRR have to find that out." He stated.

Harry stepped out as Draco got dressed before watching him go home.

Harry made his bed. He paused seeing the unread stack of letters Draco had written. Harry sighed picking them up placing them in his trunk. He didn't have the heart to throw them out.

Harry bit his inner cheek walking to Severus' office.

"I made them all forget dad.." Harry stated barely holding it together as the walked in.

Severus rose walking over.

"Harrison...." He whispered hugging him tight.

Harrison bit his lip before hugging Severus back trembling l finally letting it all out sobbing until he ran out of tears.

"I don't want to feel like this anymore." Harry stated eventually pulling back, his eyes red.

"Sometimes time heals the pain" Severus stated giving him some calming draught.

Harry sighed drinking it. "I don't think time will fix this Sev... I think my hearts broken..." he said quietly.

Severus pulled him in for another hug. "Avoiding  your emotions won't help in the end."

Harry sighed. "I know, but I think I love him..."

Tom walked in. "No potion is permanent Severus. The boy is hurting. We can stop the heart break atleast temporarily." He stated

Harry looked up as Severus sighed.

Severus recognized that exactly look. Many years ago his heart had broken when Lily died.

"It's a difficult potion to make when it runs out Harrison. " Severus stated.

"I can make it, I don't want to go to the dinner anymore." Harry stated. "I heard what they said Sev.. Lucius and Narcissa. I thought they loved me regardless."

Severus sighed before rising opening a cabinet pulling out a light red vial.

"This is a TEMPORARY solution for a TEMPORARY problem. Remember Harrison I'm ALWAYS here and so is Tom." Severus stated sitting against holding the vial out.

"I suppose I agree with that statement." Tom stated.

Harry took it.

"It won't erase your memories with Draco, it will more so dampen and numb them." Severus stated

"And Lucius and Narcissa?" Harry asked holding the vial up.

"It only works on one person. But I don't want them around you anymore, however that's your choice."Severus stated.

Harry nodded downing the whole vial.

Harry immediately felt the wave and burden of sadness lifted followed by a numbing feeling towards Draco.

Harry felt empty momentarily before feeling a new found  determination.

He set the vial down.

"I'm ready to learn everything you can teach me Tom." Harry stated turning

Tom looked at Sev who nodded.

"Let's get started."
