FIC: Seizing Second Chances
Authur: momatu
Prompt #: 20 Draco meets Albus and forms a special bond with him because he is the same age as Draco's son would have been that died in child birth.Which leads to many outings with newly single Harry and his other children and a Weasley or two
Title: Seizing Second Chances
Paring: Harry/Draco
Summary: Five years after Draco lost his infant son to complications following his premature birth, he sees a happy, healthy dark-haired child the same age his own little boy would have been playing on the swings in a Muggle play park. One year after the sudden loss of his wife, Harry sees Draco quietly watching children play in a Muggle play park. If they can put the past behind them, can they be each other's second chance at happiness?

Warning: Based on the prompt, there is necessarily some heaviness to this fic, but while I did bear in mind the need to deal with the grief both Harry and especially Draco have experienced, I tried to keep the overall theme of the fic one of healing and rebuilding. Draco will talk about the loss of his son, but it is not the dominant thread of the fic.
Epilogue Compliant?: Partly

Author's Notes: I would like to thank my awesome betas, eidheann_writes and kohaku_imaki55, for all their help and, as always, also thank you to all the lovely Brits at hp_britglish for helping this American to British her writing up a bit. Thanks also, of course to dragon2stars, I hope you'll be happy with how the story came out.

I felt so much for Draco and his pain, god, breaks the heart, but it was so beautiful, too, that he opened himself to happiness with Harry. I loved that.
Narcissa was brilliant. I loved her outrage at Harry telling people, and then just like her I got all the reasons. Wow, most excellent there.
LOL @ Rita! I shouldn't laugh, really, XD but hey, how was Ian was to know? And she was totally snooping. I laughed all right.
And then the ending, intense and loving and wonderful. This was awesome, thank you so much for this. <3

Given the nature of the prompt, the fic had to deal with a good bit of grief, but I wanted to balance it with healing and I always try to have a little humor in my fics.
I do love writing Narcissa. I see her every bit as devoted to Draco as Lily was to Harry. I also think it's telling about Narcissa that not only did she defy Voldemort twice to protect Draco, but she did not speak out against Andromeda when Voldemort mocked them over Tonks and Remus' marriage. I got a kick out of her thinking of Harry as an impetuous Gryffindor for telling people about Draco's experiment, when he was doing what Draco asked him to, and then he took it upon himself to protect Draco by telling his friends and Andromeda. I'm glad you liked it too.
I have to admit--I laughed when I squished Rita Skeeter! A beetle might be a good disguise to sneak around in, but it does leave one rather vulnerable.
Thanks for reviewing!
