Chapter 10

-Malfoy Manor-

Voldemort was pissed off beyond all imagining. First Malfoy's son who he had turned into a werewolf as punishment for failing his mission escaped and could not be found. Secondly his most devoted Death Eaters had been captured and shipped back to Azkaban. The sad part was is that he needed them. Voldemort hated himself knowing the fact that if he was ever going to be able to take over Hogwarts, he would need all his death eaters at his side.

Sighing slightly to himself, Voldemort looked up from petting his snake Nagini to see Wormtail approach the table, Wormtail shaking in fear.

"What is it Wormtail?" Voldemort asked, his tone one of boredom.

"My lord, I…It a…appears that the Dementor guards of Azkaban have instigated a riot, allowing Bellatrix and the Carrows to escape. They will be here tomorrow at the latest." Wormtail says.

'Finally some good news' Voldemort thought to himself as he closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, his long pale fingers stroking Nagini's scales. Opening his eyes he saw Wormtail was still in the room, as if waiting for his next order.

"Go prepare for their arrival" Voldemort says.

Wormtail bowed low before scampering out of sight of his master. The following day, Bellatrix and the Carrows arrived back at the manor and immediately went to talk to Voldemort.

"I don't know what happened my lord, the Carrows and I were resting in the back of Borgin and Burkes when somebody stunned all of us." Bellatrix says, her body stiff with anticipation as she and the others knelt before their master.

"Did you recognize the attackers?" Voldemort asked, his hands folded in front of him as he looked down at Bella and the others.

Bella shook her head as she looked up at Voldemort.

"I see, very well we march to Hogwarts on Friday at dawn" Voldemort says before leaving the dining room and heading up to his own private quarters.

Once in his room, Voldemort sighed as he leaned back against the door. He knew that when word of his attack on the school spread it would bring Potter straight to him. However he should know not to expect his attack to go directly as planned, even with Dumbledore dead, there were still the teachers and most of the student body who would do anything they could to protect the school.

~*~*~*~*

Harry Potter woke up to his boyfriend and mate Draco Malfoy sitting at the desk in their room. The blonde's head draped over big heavy volumes of books as he continued to read. Wondering what Draco was researching, Harry got out of bed and walked over and wrapped his arms around Draco's neck.

"Whatcha researching" Harry asked as he rested his chin on top of Draco's head.

"Ways on how to defeat Voldemort" Draco said not glancing up at his mate.

Harry pulled up a seat next to Draco, and rested his head on Draco's shoulder. "Find anything that could help?" Harry asked while stifling a yawn. Draco shook his head as he continued to read on, his eyes moving a thousand miles a minute as he took in every word that he read.

Harry stood up and stretched his body out before he went to take a shower, leaving Draco to his reading and researching. As Harry waited for the water to get to his preferred temperature his thoughts drifted towards the upcoming battle and he cringed inside both at the thoughts and for the baby had just kicked. Once the warmish water was running over his body, Harry felt his worries and nervousness over the battle start to ebb away. He never really understood it, but whenever Harry would take a hot/warm shower, he'd be able to get over about whatever was stressing him at the time.

When Harry had walked out of the bathroom, he immediately saw Draco sitting on the bed with a huge grin on his face. Harry started backing away slowly incase Draco got tackle happy. "What's with the Grin, and should I be afraid?" Harry asked.

Slowly Draco stood up and walked over and wrapped his arms around Harry's waist as he whispered in Harry's ear. "I've found the answer to defeating him".

Harry couldn't believe his eyes. He and Draco were sitting on the bed and a thick black covered book titled in gold letters: Dark Magic and How to Defend Against It sat between them.

"This…is unbelievable" Harry mutters as he continues to read the chapter that Draco had the book opened to. After reading the chapter, Harry couldn't believe that they finally had a plan on how to get rid of Voldemort. (A/N: Wont reveal till later)

Minerva McGonagall was tired. Her entire day was stressful. She had to deal with some Slytherin seventh years who decided to experiment with the fiendfyre spell and it took both her and support from Flitwick to finally douse the fire spell. Sighing to herself, Minerva rubbed her temples as she looked at the seventh grade Slytherins in question who had been writing lines for the last four hours.

"Alright Miss Parkinson, Miss Bullstrode you may return to your common room" McGonagall said. Grumbling to themselves, Pansy Parkinson and Millicent Bullstrode got up and walked out of the transfiguration and headmistress's office. Minerva sighed to herself as she prepared herself to head to bed. Just as she was getting ready for bed, the transfiguration professor and headmistress felt the whole castle shake. Growling slightly and muttering about prank-happy students, McGonagall left her chambers to see what the hell was going on.

Arriving at the Entrance Hall, McGonagall saw professors, Flitwick, Sprout, Slughorn, and Tonks standing in the hall as the castle continued to shake.

"Well what the hell is going on?" McGonagall asked as she looked at her fellow staff members.

"Look outside Minerva" Horace said, his eyes fearful.

Shaking her head, McGonagall walked over and pulled the great oak doors open. As soon as she did, she regretted it. For down past the courtyard and clock tower just at the beginning of the covered bridge, McGonagall saw that Voldemort had finally made his move against the school and had all his followers at his side creating a dark evil spot on the edge of the school as they fired spells at the castle, which was causing the shaking. After closing the door, McGonagall flicked her wand locking the doors before turning to her fellow teachers.

"Horace please gather all first, second, and third year students from all the houses and take them down to the dungeons to keep them safe".

McGonagall looked at Professor Sprout next as she said "Pomona gather the forth, fifth, sixth, and seventh students and take them to the great hall".

Both Horace and Pomona nodded before leaving to do their jobs. While they were preoccupied doing their jobs, McGonagall and Flitwick, and Tonks went around adding protection spells to the school. When they were done, McGonagall flicked her wand making the suits of Armor come to life and ordered them out into the courtyard to help protect the school. Once she was done, McGonagall joined Tonks, and Flitwick in creating a protective bubble over the castle.

Voldemort watched in amusement as the teachers did their best to place defensives around the school.

'Fools' Voldemort thought to himself as he watched. Turning to Bellatrix, he nodded confirming that it was time.

Bellatrix giggled as she raised her wand, the death eaters behind her raising theirs before they started bombarding the protective bubble hoping to destroy it.

Soon enough word that Voldemort had begun his attack on Hogwarts spread like wildfire and soon it reached the burrow and ears of Harry Potter. At the present moment, Harry was sitting on the bed, his knees pulled up to his chest, as he rested in his head on them. Draco sat beside him and wrapped his arms around Harry's waist.

"Come on love, lets go and end this now" Draco whispered into Harry's ear. Glancing up Harry locked his emerald green eyes with Draco's stormy gray ones.

"I want to end this now Drake, more than you know, but I'm scared, what if our plan won't work?" Harry says softly.

Draco kissed Harry's forehead before he stood up and grabbed something that he had hidden in the desk.

"Drake what are you doing?" Harry asked as he sat up.

Draco turned to face Harry, his pale cheeks turning red as he said "I…I wanted to wait and do this after the battle but I think I'll do it now."

Harry looked at his mate confusion etched on his face.

Taking a breath, Draco moved onto one knee and opened up a small black box, revealing a twenty four karat gold ring with two small hearts on top. One heart was in the shape of a pearl, and the other was in the shape of a ruby.

Harry's eyes widened as he looked down at the ring. "D…Drake...A...Are you asking me what I think your asking?"

"Like I said, Harry I was going to ask this after, but I'm asking you now…Harry James Potter, Will you Marry Me?"

Tears were leaking down Harry's cheeks as he nodded his head. "Yes Drake. Yes I will marry you!"

Draco smiled as he stood up and slipped the ring onto Harry's finger. With his proposal out of the way, Draco offered his hand to Harry and pulled him off the bed.

"Come on Harry, lets go and end this once and for all."

Harry nodded and together they apparated to Hogsmeade.

The village of Hogsmeade was in complete disarray. Many of the shops and houses were destroyed or on fire. The villagers were either dead or taken hostage.

Voldemort quickly quelled the defense of the school. It was all over within a couple of hours. Those defenders who had died, both teacher and student alike was placed in a corner of the great hall. As he walked into the great hall, Voldemort smirked as he walked forward and sat himself into the headmaster's chair.

"Now for my first act as Headmaster of this school, All muggle-borns are hereby banned from this school" Voldemort said, his red eyes gleaming. Professor Sprout went to argue when Voldemort flicked his wand yelling out Avada Kedavra the jet of green light hitting Sprout in her chest.

Almost at once, all the muggle-borns started to gather so they would leave. However just as the group had reached the doors to the entrance hall, the doors burst open and Harry and Draco walked in.

As everyone saw Harry and Draco walk in, whispers automatically broke out throughout the student body. Many of the student's eyes widened in curiosity as they saw both the ring on Harry's finger and his bulging stomach.

Voldemort however was not pleased to see his adversary. Like everyone else Voldemort too noticed the ring and bulging stomach of The-Boy-Who-Lived. "Well Lucius, Narcassia it looks like Draco has mated with Potter, and even asked him to marry him" Voldemort hissed.

Draco blushed but he still stood beside his mate, resting one hand on Harry's stomach.

"Its over Tom...This ends tonight" Harry said as he pulled out his wand.

"Yes this does end tonight with you dead" Voldemort snarled/hissed as he raised himself out of the headmaster's chair.

As Harry and Voldemort faced each other, Draco cast a very powerful shield charm around Harry and Voldemort so that no spell would hit one of the students or teachers.

"Avada Kedavra" Voldemort hissed, a jet of green light shooting out of his wand and shot straight towards Harry's chest. Harry was able to side-step at the last moment before he yelled out "Expelliarmus!" a jet of red light heading towards Voldemort, who was able to block the spell with ease.

"Come on Potter don't be so predictable" Voldemort hissed, his red eyes flashing.

As Voldemort said this, Harry did something that not only shocked the snake faced man, but along with everyone else save Draco as he pocketed his wand.

"What trickery is this" Voldemort hissed, his red eyes wide.

Harry shrugged as he said "I'm doing something that no one has ever showed you before Tom…Compassion."

"This trick will not work Potter" Voldemort growled.

"Its not a trick Tom. Throughout your entire life, no one has shown compassion or love towards you, which is why you are the way you are now." Harry says.

Voldemort had no reply to this. While it was true when he was growing up and in his teen years no one not even the teachers showed him love or compassion. While true they praised him for his intelligence but it wasn't just praise that he wanted.

Then to everyone's surprise Voldemort lowered his wand. As he did, Harry could see a flash of brown in the red eyes.

"Tom I found a spell that if it works will convert you back to a baby."

"If you allow me to do this, then I swear to you that Draco and I will raise you as our own and show you all the things that you weren't shown before" Harry says.

A battle was raging inside Voldemort. He finally had Potter right where he wanted him, and could kill him right now. However what Harry just said awoken something deep within the dark lord. The main reason why he didn't understand love, was he was never shown any when he was younger. If this happened would he be a better person? Biting his bottom lip Voldemort looked at Harry and slowly nodded his head.

"Alright Pott…Harry I agree to this" Voldemort said.

Harry nodded before pulling his wand began the incantation. " Vestibulum ut vir iste renasci".

At once there was a bright white light as Voldemort started to shrink. His head became smaller as his arms and legs shortened. Soon enough there was a little bundle where Voldemort was standing at. Taking a breath, Harry walked over and picked up the bundle moving the cloak so it was wrapped around the now baby Voldemort. However instead of the baby's skin being white and the face snake like, the skin was pale and face was normal with little brown eyes instead of flashing red ones.

Harry smiled down at little baby tom as he leaned down and kissed his forehead. As he did so, Draco flicked his wand lowering the shield charm.

This historical moment was cut short however, for as soon as Harry handed baby Tom to Draco, he clutched at his stomach in pain.

"D...Drake I...It's time" Harry gasped in pain.

Draco nodded as he flicked his wand, making himself, baby Tom, and Harry appear in the hospital wing. As they appeared Madame Promfrey was able to get Harry onto a bed, as well as magic some dividers around the bed for privacy.

Harry was in extreme pain. The only time he felt this much pain was in the graveyard when Voldemort had used the Cruciatus curse on him. Madam Promfrey had given him some potions for the pain, but to Harry it felt like it just amplified the pain.

"You are never touching me again Draco" Harry growled out as Draco slipped his hand into Harry's.

"You're just saying that love" Draco said, wincing slightly when Harry began to squeeze his hand hard.

Finally it was over. Madame Promfrey did a c-section and Harry and Draco could hear their baby's cries as it was pulled from Harry.

"it's a boy" Madame Promfrey said as she cut the umbilical cord and wiped off the blood and fluids.

Once she was done, Promfrey wrapped the baby boy up in a blanket and handed it to Harry. Both Harry and Draco gasped as they saw their son. He looked just like Draco with the platinum blonde hair, and pale pointed face, but he had Harry's emerald green eyes.

"Damn Harry we did good" Draco says as he lowers baby Tom down so he could see his baby brother.

Harry smiled up at Draco as he noticed that baby tom grinned down at the newborn.

"We need to name him" Harry says.

"How about James Sirius" Draco asks as he slips into bed beside Harry. (A/N: He made the bed bigger)

"James Sirius Malfoy" Harry says as he rested his head on Draco's shoulder.

With that said, both Harry and Draco fell asleep, holding their babies and they both dreamed and looked forward to the future.

-Epilogue-

Eleven Years had passed since that day. Since then Harry kept his word and He and Draco raised Tom like their own, showing him love and compassion. Having been raised like this instead of how he was originally raised, Tom Marvolo Malfoy would grow up knowing love and passion instead of power and hate.

At the present moment, Harry and Draco was walking with Tom and James, both had trunks on trolleys and an animal perched on top. Tom had a pitch black owl with white markings both around the eyes and wings which he named " Dante". James on the other hand had a little wolf cub with pure white fur and a few streaks of black and he named him " Altair".

After going through the barrier and appearing on Platform 9 and ¾, the Malfoy's saw Hermione and Ron who were seeing off their daughter Rose. As Draco and James went to say Hello, Tom stopped and looked up at Harry.

"Dad what if I'm placed in Slytherin...Again?"

Harry stopped and knelt down in front of Tom. "Tom I told you that we would raise you as our own and show you love and passion, so do you believe we have done this so far?" Harry asked.

Slowly Tom nodded as he looked up at his father. Harry smiled and ruffled Tom's hair as he said "Draco and I won't care what house you end up in, Just know that we will love you no matter what."

Tom smiled and gave Harry a hug before going to join James saying hello. Once everyone was settled on the train, Harry and Draco leaned back and watched as the scarlet Hogwarts Express start to leave.

"Are you worried Love?" Draco asked as he held Harry against him, watching the train leave.

"Mmm No I'm not" Harry said as he turned to face his husband. "Come on lets go work on making them a little sister" Harry says grinning at Draco as he headed back towards the barrier.

Draco grinned to himself before he walked after his Husband and towards the future.
