3. Rules
There was light, a lot of light.
Harry felt very sensitive to all of that.
His arm was throbbing at the place of his new soulmate mark and his brain was just too loud.
Or was it the room?
Was the room too loud or Harry’s brain?
“Oh my dear boy” suddenly his mom was next to him, Hugging him close.
“It’s ok sweetheart, I know you’re in pain right now, we will take you two home and Severus will give you something for the pain”
well that sounds like a good idea…
Wait a minute!
You two?!?!
Did his parents wanted to take fucking Malfoy home???
“What do you mean ‘you two’ “
Harry said, his voice coming out way softer than how he wanted it to.
״well sweetie, it’ll be very painful for both of you if we will separate you” said Narcissa, sitting next to Draco and caressing his hair.
Only then Harry thought about looking at Draco.
The boy was very pale.
Paler than he usually was with that skin of his.
Harry felt the sudden urgh to get closer to the boy.
It seem like Draco and him shared the same urge, because suddenly the Draco’s hand was in his, and the pain in his head numbed a little.
From all of the mess Harry didn’t noticed when his father disappeared and came back with a port-key, directed to the Potter’s house.
And then Harry felt the warm magic of the house he grew in.
A moment after Sev shoved a potion down his throat, and it all came back to him.
He was Draco’s soulmate!
For fake sake Draco Malfoy was his soulmate
Suddenly Harry was way too aware to the way his hand felt inside malfoy’s, and he didn’t know what to do.
Was he allowed to hold Draco’s hand?
Did Draco even wanted him to?
The answer to that question wasn’t needed because his father just picked him up and put him on the sofa, Draco laid beside him.
Harry couldn’t even hold his eyes open, he drifted off after a few seconds, followed by Draco.
——————
Harry woke up to the smell of fresh baked cookies, a hand on his hip, and the sound of his parent talking down in the kitchen.
For a moment he was so happy, then he realised where he was.
He wanted to just pretend to be asleep but he just couldn’t!
This is Draco Malfoy we’re talking about!
So Harry got up, he didn’t want to look back to check if Draco got up after him, but he heard his footsteps following him when he walked down to the kitchen.
Does that mean that Draco was already awake when Harry got up? Was Draco pretending to be asleep?
Harry stopped at the kitchen’s door, Draco just behind him.
“Can we come in?” He asked his family and Draco’s mother, who were talking over a plate of cookies.
“Of course sweetie, how do you feel?” His mother asked, a smile on her face.
“A lot better, thanks sev” Harry gave the man the widest smile he could’ve managed at the time, and yet it was a poor one.
“Grab some cookies, we have a serious conversation in front of us” Narcissa was saying in a soft voice, clearly talking to the two 15 years olds sat in front of her.
Harry buried his face in his hand, thinking about the ‘serious conversation’ they were going to have.
Draco groaned beside him but reached his hand to grab a cookie from the plate Harry’s mother prepared.
“So… you’re soulmates” James said, both the boys gave him a blank look.
“We need to talk about the basic stuff, like sleeping arrangements and registration, but first how do you both feel about it?”
Asked Narcissa, a fond smile on her face.
“Surprised” groaned Draco near him, Harry almost chuckled at his voice.
“Same here” replied Harry, with a semi smile on his face.
“It’s more than ok to be surprised about that, when I found out I was your father’s soulmate I almost passed out” Harry’s mother said, laughing it off.
“Always good to hear” his father said sarcastically.
“Well first you should know that we literally can’t separate you for the close future, probably for a week or so.” Narcissa said, surprisingly, she was caressing Harry’s arm, with a soft smile on her face.
“When she says literally she means it, it will be very painful for the both of you to be separated at the point, plus you need to let your bond to build for a bit, getting it stronger” his father said, mouth full of cookie while speaking.
“Which means you and your mother are going to stay here for the rest of the summer, Draco”
“Oh am.. really… I”
Draco was lost with the words, looking at his mother seeking for help.
“Well yes, you both will need to get to know each other one way or another” Draco’s mother said.
“Now let’s get to the sleeping arrangements, Draco, your stuff has been transferred to Harry’s room on the Eastern wing, while your mother’s stuff has been transferred to the the west wing, we placed a new single bed in Harry’s room for you, and doubled all the furniture so you could have you’re own space”
His father finished speaking, looking satisfied with himself for pushing the most information in a short time.
“Well, thank you James, for summering it all, you should also know thank while you’re 15, you’re not nearly old enough to do something sexual, even though you’re soulmates” Narcissa gave them both a stern look.
“My good mom did you really have to say that?״ Draco buried his face in his arms, if Harry wasn’t just as embarrassed he might have laugh.
“Of course I had to, we are providing you a room to yourself, It would’ve been irresponsible of me to not say that”
“Well thank you mom, for clearing that up”
“With love, son” Narcissa smiled at him.
“During the daytime you will be free to do as you wish l, but you’re asked to attend lunch and dinner, and Dori will bring you breakfast to you’re room”
Lily said, her voice soft.
“Dori is our house elf” said Harry to Draco, after seeing the confused look on his face.
“Oh” was the only thing Draco said, his gaze dropping to Harry’s lips for a second.
Their parents, who had clearly noticed the gaze that went between the two boys, raised their eyebrows.
“Well Harry, maybe you can show Draco your room now?” Said James, and it only took Harry a moment to stand up, eager to get out of the situation.
“Are you coming?” Said Harry, offering Draco his hand.
