Promises
The snow was covering the ground, and it was hard to even see the street. Still the car moved securely through the landscape. Harry could not really see where they were. He was put into the passenger seat, which was brought into a lying position, as he was still unable to sit.
"Thank you for getting me," he said quietly.
"Certainly," Draco replied.
One word.
One worded replies were bad.
One worded replies meant Draco was still holding his emotions tight. In the future there would be an explosion before there would any reconciliation going on.
He had promised to not do anything reckless certainly...
"Ron, was not reachable and... I think Andy would have left me there. I mean you could have left me there. It was an accident. I didn't do it on purpose."
"Ok."
Oh no. Nothing was ok. Ok never meant "ok" when Draco used it.
"I was just training you? for the new season... and it was an experimental broom. It was going well for a while but then something happened. Michael even asked me to write a report so they can find the issue."
"Understandable."
He had promised. It was the deal they made.
"I'm sorry. I just... it was just a bit of fun. I didn't think anything would happen."
"Of course."
"Draco. I am sorry."
He tried to be direct.
"The road is difficult to follow, I have to concentrate."
That was a 'shut up' if he ever heard one. So he shut up, and looked out of the window into the dark night.
They were passing some street where someone put red lights in shapes of candy canes into the snow as a guide for drivers. At least it seems helpful to Harry.
"You know it is too late to change your mind now. I asked you about it. I asked you often. And you promised.... and then I get a call from the Hospital.... not matter that I am unfit to apparate. You cannot even be apparated. What were you thinking?"
That was the big question.
"I was not really thinking. I just saw the broom... it was a chance to try something new. Do something exciting, you know?"
"Oh, I know."
As Draco's words sunk in, Harry became aware of what he was saying. Damn.
That was the last words that were spoken for a while.
Once Harry started chatting agian, Draco simply ignored it. It took them hours to get back to Grimmauld Place. And no matter what Harry tried, Draco was not answering.
After the car was parked in their driveway, Draco left the car and went straight up to the house. It was only once Harry saw Kreacher, that he was certain, he didn't have to stay in the car the whole night.
"Master has being a pillock," Kreacher grumbled before with a snip of his fingers they were both in the masterbedroom.
"Not on purpose," he posted once he was back n bed.
"Kreacher is not needing to hear that. Kreacher knows Master is having cold feet."
"I know... I know," Harry said.
It was late when Draco entered the room. And before that moment, Harry had feared that Draco would sleep in a different room. It was a relief seeing him walk through the door.
"Draco. I am really sorry," Harry said, once Draco sat on the bed.
"You usually are. But it never stops you. You are an adrenalin junkie. I knew this, I respected it. But Harry, this was your wish. I could have lived with just the two of us."
Harry nodded.
"I won't do it again."
"You will." Draco said. "The question will just be a when, and if you will be dragging our child down with you."
"I won't. I won't harm the child. You have to believe me. I... I need to be a father. I want to be a father. I will do my best. Please. I just... this was a last opportunity and I took it," Harry begged.
Draco sighed, but did not response. And after long minutes he finally lay down next to Harry.
Very carefully Harry moved, to put his hand on Draco's belly, feeling the life growing there. Draco never wanted children, he was doing it of Harry. Draco said, that it would be difficult because he was a very selfish person that he would struggle for attention with the child, and not to turn into his own father. Draco had been so grown up about it.
And all he asked of Harry was to no longer go and search the thrill. A thrill that had become more and more addictive through the years. And he had promised so faithfully.... and broken that promise already about six times.
He was caressing the belly, as in the darkness Draco said: "If you can't do it, then we have to find people who will be able to care for the child, because I cannot do it alone, Harry."
"I can." Harry said. He nearly said 'I promise' but he was well aware that his word at this point was worth less than a snow flake.
But he can. For his child. His dream, his family.
Family was the biggest adventure after all.
