"That woman is stunning," said Draco, watching the screen. "She looks like a Veela!"
Harry nestled into Draco's shoulder and his hand reached for the popcorn. "She reminds me of-"
"Please don't say she reminds you of Fleur!" huffed Draco.
"No, she reminds me of Narcissa." Harry said, stifling a yawn. He'd had a hard day at the office and Draco's warmth was lulling him to sleep.
"'Course she would." Draco reached for the bowl of popcorn.
"Dwaco, Dwaco!"
"I'm coming, Teddy!" he said, "I'll watch 'The Hunger' later."
"Teddy?" Harry yawned hugely.
"I'll go, you… straight to bed."
--
"What's the matter?" Draco sat on the edge of the bed.
Teddy was sniffling. "Is Harry going to die?"
"What do you mean?"
Teddy said in a small voice, "The Lion King died!"
Draco muttered, "Should've stuck to the Godfather!"
Raising his voice, he continued, "Let me tell you a story; there was a tousled-maned lion who wore glasses. His name was…. Harrimba."
"Really?"
Draco nodded. "He lived in a big castle. His best friend was a red-maned lion who was always hungry." Warming to his tale, he drawled, "They fought with the Serpent King, who was a smart snake."
--
Teddy glared at the wall. "Lione was mean!"
"Well," Draco admitted, "she had her reasons to slap the poor Serpent King."
Draco was so enthralled with his story that he didn't notice the door was ajar and Harry was listening.
He drawled elegantly, "Then Harrimba said, 'Where's the sneaky snake?'"
Teddy pouted. "Lions don't talk like that!"
Draco rolled his eyes. "Fine." He hooked his fingers like claws and pawed the duvet, making growling noises. "Where's the snake? Can't see him with this smoke!"
Harry's eyes were shining; his hunger for a family had been assuaged in a wonderful way.
--
"And Harrimba flew in his broom, the Serpent King wrapped tightly around his neck. They made it out of the evil, roaring fire…"
Draco smiled at the boy's sleeping face, ruffling Teddy's white-blond hair and whispering, "If Harrimba should ever face danger, he has you and me to take care of him."
He tiptoed out of the room and closed the door gently. As he sauntered towards the bedroom, though, Harry pounced on him.
"What the-" He couldn't talk because Harry started kissing him hungrily.
Harry smiled against Draco's lips. "Will the Serpent King tell me a naughty story?"
