Song- Start Again

Draco and Harry were relaxing on Draco's bed when Narcissa came in.

Draco sat up. "Mother."

"Hello, darling."

"How are you?" Lucius' death had shaken her up, but not as much as Draco had thought it would.

"I am well. Mr. Potter, it has come to my attention that we have not formally met."

"We haven't even informally met," Harry commented, eyeing her.

Draco gave him a look. "You really gonna give attitude to one of the few people who is okay with us?"

Harry sighed. "No, Draco."

Draco beamed at him, and Harry shook his head and laughed before standing and bowing. "Greetings, Your Majesty. My name is Harry Potter." 

She smiled at him. "Hello, Mr. Potter. It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Narcissa Black." Her eyes flickered with something strange. "You... you look like someone I once knew."

"I can't imagine you'd know either of my parents, I don't even know who they were," Harry responded with a sigh. 

Narcissa frowned. "The resemblance is uncanny. This cannot be coincidence. And-" she gasped. "You have her eyes."

Harry frowned. "What?"

"I once knew a man who looked just like you, but a bit older. He married a woman who had eyes just like yours. But it's impossible. Their child died with them," Narcissa murmured.

"Mother?" Draco asked.

She turned to him, eyes alight with something. "Draco, there may be hope for you yet."

Draco simply frowned, but Narcissa stood and gestured for them to follow her.

They walked for what felt like forever, before reaching a hallway Draco recognized.

The walls were covered with tapestries that depicted stories from the past that Draco would read as a child.

Narcissa pointed to one. 

"There was a woman named Lily Evans. She was the sole ruler of the Gryffindor Kingdom. But the people weren't happy with having a woman ruler. They insisted she marry. She fell in love with the king of the Slytherin Kingdom, James Potter."

Harry's breath hitched.

"They were married within a month, and life seemed to be perfect. James and Lily Evans had united the two kingdoms. And then news spread across the land; Lily was to have a baby."

This time, Draco's breathing hitched.

"A beautiful baby boy. But just moments after the birth of the baby, the castle was overtaken by the Durmstrang kingdom. A choice by Lucius I never agreed with. Lily and James Evans were murdered, and it was believed the child died. But rumors circulated that the baby had survived, that one of the soldiers simply couldn't kill such a pure being, and instead took it to Durmstrang to live life under a name his mother never had the chance to give him."

Draco stared at Harry. The other boy's eyes were wide, and he was breathing fast.

"You-you don't think-" Harry murmured, eyes alight with awe.

"I think the baby survived, just as the rumors said. And I think he's fallen in love with my son."

"I'm a prince?" Harry whispered.

"A king, if coronated," Narcissa corrected.

"You're royalty," Draco said reverently. "Harry, you're not a commoner. It's not illegal for us to be together!"

Harry let out a sharp breath, eyes wide. He twisted around and hugged Draco tightly.

"Fuck, I love you," he whispered breathlessly.

"I love you infinitely more," Draco replied.
