“You gave us such a fright” Harry adresses Teddy as well, on his knees in the soft snow. He doesn´t act as if there is anything out of the ordinary.
“I knew you would find me. I just wanted to have a pretty Christmastree where we can celebrate and no one would have a chance to look at you if you don´t want them to.But then I kinda lost the orientation” Teddy is snuggled up in Draco's arms, and refuses to let go, thus not giving him the chance to run away or even hide his face and so he decides to look up at last. Resigned to see the pity or revulsion in their faces when they realizes just what he looks like.
But there is neither pity nor revulsion, just wonder and love when Harry smiles at him and Draco feels his throat close up.
“Uncle Draco? I am cold.” Teddy states softly and Draco only now realizes that he is shaking as well. Harry wraps the cloak they brought with them around Draco's shoulder to warm him. There is so much more in that gesture. It is like a promise, to shield him from harm, to shelter him and protect him and Teddy and Draco can´t keep the sob inside that forces his way outward.
Harry wraps his arms around both of them and just says. “I've got you.” nothing more is needed.
Teddy is shaking now visibly and so they cast a quick warming charm, all the while knowing that Teddy is not immune to hyperthomia and that they need to warm him gently at the house. The horses canter back a a quick pace but still careful enough not to jostle the precious cargo. Harry turns towards Draco and says:
“I'll ride ahead and have the houseelves prepare a bath.”
“Yes, I'll be right behind you.”
When Draco arrives a houseelf is already at the stable to take the horse back inside and to rub it down. He hurries inside and finds his mother standing in the entrance hall. She looks at him and smiles.
“I just wanted to let you know that I had Tippy prepare hot chocolate for you and Teddy. Harry is upstairs waiting for you. Mippy drew the bath in your suite.”
Again there is no trace of revulsion or pity on her face, just a gentle smile that she always gives him. He walks upstairs with Teddy in his arms.
Harry is standing in the corridor in front of the door that leads into Draco 's private rooms. When her sees him approach he straightens and Draco simply nods at the door. “Open that for me please?”
Harry complies and Draco steps through, turning around and asking softly. “Are you coming?” Without checking he deposits Teddy on his massive bed covered in pillows and a golden throw. He shakes Teddy gently and the little boy opens his eyes sleepily. that he has almost fallen asleep worries Draco deeply..
“Come on Teddy, you need to get into the bath to warm up again and then you drink some hot chocolate with us.”
“Can we all cuddle in your bed then?”
He swallows again but nods. Right now Teddy could even ask him to go out like this and he
wouldn´t say no. Draco looks at Harry and again only encounters a gentle smile again. It tells him, 'i'll be here if you need me, but I won't push.”
He settles Teddy in the bath, talks with him and after a while Teddy starts to chatter again.
“Are you very angry at me? I really just wanted to find a place where we could have a small celebration. I didn´t want to scare you.”
“Squirt, we aren´t angry, we were just very very worried, because we love you.”
“You lost your mask.”
Draco nods again. “Yes I did.”
“Will you wear it again?” Teddy prods
And Draco looks at this little boy and feels like he is jumping into ice cold water.
“Do you think I need it?”
Teddy touches his face reverently and silently shakes his head, raising his arms again (even though he is too big for it normally) and demands to be picked up.
Draco wraps him in a huge towel and they step back outside. Harry has laid down on the bed already, steaming chocolate on the nightstand and the huge walnut wardrobe shimering in the candle light. Draco pulls the cover back indicating for Harry to get under as well. When they settle Teddy between them, Draco still feels shy, but Harry simply strokes his cheek softly, and hands him a mug. They drink in silence, until Teddy can´t stiffle a huge yawn.
He curls into Harrys stomach and grasps Draco's hand as if he is afraid that he will disappear, before closing his eyes and drifting off. The sight is so peaceful that Draco can´t help but drift of himself.
This is how Narcissa and Andromeda find them. They quietly close the door and call Tippy, to bring mulled cider into the living room where they sit and talk long into the night.
