Draco Malfoy found very few things relaxing. Pansy was not one of them. He was locked up in his tower watching the sun rise and thinking things through. Harry was back, with daughters. He'd never once thought of having children, now seeing Harry with Truth and Hope he wondered what had happened, one day they were happy and together, next Harry had disappeared from his life. Draco had wondered what Harry had done. Maybe he'd found someone he loved more than Draco so he ran off with him, then ended up getting dumped while pregnant, a strong possibility. Draco sighed and looked down at the grounds. Frost from the night before still clung to the grass, in three weeks Australia would verse England then Harry would be gone again. He turned away from the window deciding that he'd had enough of the view he unlocked the door and left the tower. As he walked down the steeps and down the hall turning left then right and left again before he came to a cherry wood door. He decided that the office would be a good place to hide.
Blaise usually got the whole history of his clients and their case. But there was something about Harry's case. He knew he wasn't getting the whole truth, just a watered down version. He was determined to get the whole truth. Blaise decided to confront Harry himself on the matter. That's why Blaise waited at the Quidditch stadium for Potter to finish practise. Finally a loud whistle was heard and an order to 'hit the showers' was called before the group of Australian Quidditch stars came towards him. He stood back and waited for Harry; as soon as Harry passed him by he grabbed his arm and pulled him aside.
"I need to talk to you." Harry gave him a confused look but followed him out onto the empty Quidditch pitch.
"What do you need?" Harry asked.
"The true story. The version you gave me isn't real is it?" Harry fidgeted under the gaze and stared at anything but Blaise.
"Not here. Meet me at my hotel room tonight at eight." Harry quickly left Blaise.
Harry dreaded ever inviting Blaise to come over. There was no way out of telling him the truth. He'd sent the twins to bed early and made sure that Isabella and Sirius where out and made sure the twins couldn't hear in. Harry paced the kitchen and debated if he should tell the whole truth, maybe leave out a few details. He wasn't watching where he was going and ran into a counter.
"FUCK!" He clutched his knee and hopped around. A knock at the door was heard and Harry cursed quietly as he hobbled over to the door. Opening it he saw Blaise standing there looking annoyed at waiting but smirked at the sight of Harry.
"Having troubles Potter?" Harry glared at him icily before standing aside. Blaise walked past him and into the lounge room. "So Potter, what's the truth?" Harry rolled his eyes and sat down in an armchair.
"Blunt as always." Blaise didn't seem to be offended by his statement and sat on the couch.
"Well dancing around the subject gets you nowhere."
"True." The two fell silent, Blaise waiting for an answer and Harry waiting for an escape.
"Potter, we don't have all night. What is so important that you couldn't say it at the empty Quidditch pitch?" Harry sighed and scratched the back of his neck.
"What do you want to know?" Harry lent back and looked at Blaise.
"Why does he want the twins? What happened between the two of you?" Harry rubbed his eyes.
"I meet Ruth five years ago when I was…when I was still with Draco." Blaise raised his eyebrows.
"You cheated on Draco?"
"NO!" Harry glared at him for the comment, then his gaze softened and a sad look came across his face. "I-I went to see Draco, when I opened the door I," Harry paused and frowned, "I saw him kissing Parkinson. I was sad, hurt and angry, so I went to this party a friend from work invited me to. I usually don't drink but like I said I was angry and hurt so I drunk more than I usually would. When Ruth saw I was drunk he," another pause as Harry sighed, "He offered me a drink which he'd spiked with potion."
"He raped you didn't he…?" Blaise's voice was low.
"I woke up the next morning in his apartment." Harry's eyes held unshed tears. He took a deep breath before continuing. "Two weeks later I found out I was pregnant. I was scared that they weren't Draco's. So I quite Auror training and moved, with Sirius, to Australia. Ruth must have found out I was pregnant and now wants the twins." Blaise looked at Harry with confusion.
"Why didn't you tell Draco?"
"Tell Draco? Why? It's my life!"
"Oh so your boyfriend has no place in your life? I can't believe he fell for you!"
"I ALWAYS LOVED DRACO!" Harry jumped up and glared at Blaise.
"Daddy?" The two looked around and saw Truth and Hope standing in the doorway looking at their father in fear and confusion.
"I'm sorry, did I wake you up?" Harry asked quietly. The girls nodded.
"Why were you yelling?" Hope asked.
"I'm just…a little frustrated. Its ok girls go back to bed." The girls turned, still a little frightened, and left for their rooms.
"Do they know?" Harry looked over at Blaise.
"I never told them. I was going to get a blood test but I didn't want to know the answer." Harry sat back down and rubbed his face. Blaise suddenly stood up and looked down at Harry.
"I promise by the end of this case you'll never see Ruth again." Harry looked up at him.
"How can you? You have no idea what Ruth can do."
"I'm the best Potter. I'll do it."
