Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
Chapter XIV
Hogsmeade weekend was so much fun for Harry. He, Ron, Hermione plus Remus went to meet Sirius first at Zonko's Joke Shop. From there, they explored the village, entering the shops and buying anything that struck their fancy, especially Sirius, who acted like child. Their last destination was Three Broomsticks to drink Butterbeer and enjoyed light snack.
"How is school, Harry?" Sirius asked, ruffling Harry's hair.
"It's fine," he replied. "We're going to have Quidditch match against Slytherin."
For surprise factor, Harry had asked his friends not to reveal to anyone that he had Firebolt in his possession. So, during practice he still used his old broom.
"There they are!" A loud voice interrupted them.
Harry lifted his head to see that it was Fred Weasley who was talking. Next to him stood George Weasley and Lee Jordan, the twin's best friend.
Fred and George walked to their table with the most serious expression. Even Ron looked taken aback. "Are you or are you not the Marauder?" they asked in unison.
Sirius smirked at them. "Guilty as charged." He said.
Remus nodded at them warily, knowing their reputation as prankster, which actually was inspired by Marauders.
"You're our hero!" they blurted out.
And the twins spent the next moments interrogating Sirius and Remus about their glory days as the prankster kings at Hogwarts. Sirius was all too happy to provide them with details while Fred and George listened seriously. Remus added his own opinion here and there during the whole thing.
Harry had feeling that the twins were going to try surpassing their idols as soon as possible. Ron, too, had come to the same conclusion. In fact, the redhead was really relieved when it was time for them to back to the castle. As Fred and George's younger brother, he feared he would be become their victim or their test subject.
The next day, Harry was having breakfast when huge eagle owl landed in front of him. It was the owl Lucius just recently bought for their correspondence.
Harry took the parcel the owl brought and fed it bacon. "Thanks, Ares." He said.
The owl finished the bacon then flew away.
He opened the box and found red scarf silk inside. It was from Lucius, who just had gone the Japan to establish the Asia branch of their investment company.
"It's really pretty," Hermione commented. "Although I wonder why Sirius sent you this now? He could have brought it with him yesterday."
Harry smiled but he didn't say anything. They were in Great Hall now and the last thing Harry wanted to happen was for Ron to freak out when he told them it came from his boyfriend. Yes, he could wait until Saturday to meet Lucius but he had orchestrated it so he could tell Hermione and Ron that he had boyfriend. At least, it was better than husband.
So, he waited until that night, when they were doing their homework. He secretly cast privacy charm so no one could eavesdrop on them.
"Do you guys remember the red scarf I got this morning?" he asked.
"Yes," Hermione replied.
"Well, I don't get from Sirius as you thought. I got it from my boyfriend." He said.
Silence.
"What?" Ron exploded.
"Boyfriend? Since when?" Hermione asked.
"What? How? Why?" Ron muttered in shock.
Ron expression was too funny that Harry found it hard not to laugh at the redhead.
"Since last year actually." He answered.
"What?" Ron shrieked again.
"But you're only twelve years old." Hermione said, frowning.
"Well, I like him and he likes me so age doesn't matter." He replied as a matter of fact. Especially with the huge age gap between him and Lucius.
Hermione frowned. "Why didn't you tell us?"
"I'm waiting for a right time to tell you guys," he said.
"I guess that he's older than us," she said. "Because he sent it while you're at school and the scarf is clearly expensive. Where did you meet him? What is his name?"
"Well, he is older than me." Harry admitted.
"Eeeew!" Ron muttered in disgust.
"I met him during holiday. He is really mature, smart and witty." He smiled. "I like him and he likes me. So, that's how we become couple."
Hermione looked thoughtful. "I can't believe I didn't see any signs before." She mused.
Ron snorted at her.
"I'm happy with him. I don't expect both of you to like him." He said. "As long as you accept that I'm with him, that is enough for me."
Hermione smiled at him. "Harry, as long as you're happy then I support you. You're my best friend. I want the best for you, with Voldemort and all." She said, sighing.
Ron shuddered at the name.
"It's good that Voldemort didn't show up to ruin our second year. I hope this year we'll enjoy a normal school year too."
"You Know Who!" Ron snapped, annoyed. "Don't call him that!"
Hermione glared at him. "I call him that because that's his name. It's really stupid to call him You Know Who every time we talk."
With that, Ron and Hermione descended into one of their arguments.
She didn't need to worry. Their third year would be free of Voldemort, Dementor and the Azkaban runaway. Harry had made sure of it. But it wasn't the case with deceitful rat. Right now, Wormtail was still a prisoner in the Malfoy Manor dungeon. And at the end of their third year, Lucius and Harry would let the rat go to seek for his master.
"But…but…Harry, you don't like uhm…boys in our school, do you?" Ron questioned.
He rolled his eyes. "Of course not. The only guy I like is my boyfriend."
Ron looked relieved while Hermione scowled at the redhead.

The first Quidditch match finally came. Gryffindor would play against Slytherin. The weather was really bad, with rain and storms. Harry planned to end the match as soon as possible. When he showed up in the changing room with Firebolt in his hand, all activity stopped.
"Is that-?" Oliver Wood gulped. "Is that-?"
"Firebolt?" Harry asked. "Yes. The one and only."
In a second, he was surrounded by his teammate, all asking questions about Firebolt, except for Fred and George who already known about his new broom.
"Whoa, Harry." Angelina said.
"Why didn't you tell us that you have Firebolt?" Oliver demanded, looking at the broom in awe.
"It's a birthday present from Harry's godfather." Fred informed them.
"You knew and you didn't say anything, either!" Katie rounded at the twin, a bit impressed by their restraint.
"Well, Harry here wants to surprise us." George said.
"It's Marauder honor," Fred added solemnly.
"It's brilliant!" Oliver exclaimed suddenly. "You got Firebolt and no one knows about it! Slytherin team wouldn't know what hit them!"
Happy again, Oliver led them to the Quidditch pitch. They met with Slytherin team, led by Flint. Both of the captains shook their hands although it seemed they were trying to break the other's. Flint looked pass Oliver. His eyes stopped at Harry, or to be more precisely, the Firebolt in Harry's hand.
Harry smirked at him.
When Flint returned to his team, it was obvious that he told them about the Firebolt, since they all looked like they had been struck by lightning. Madam Hooch too, couldn't keep her eyes off Firebolt.
The match was finally begun. The rain hindered Harry's ability to spot the Snitch so he flew around, trying to find it. The rain got heavier and it truly bothered Harry until he finally saw it. The snitch!
"And Potter caught the Snitch!" Lee Jordan shouted. "It has come to our attention that Potter rides Firebolt this year!" He tried to endorse the broom but McGonagall prevented it.
"We won!" Oliver hugged Harry.
"We won!" Fred said.
"We won!" George said.
Angelina, Katie and Alicia too landed and then proceeded to hug Harry tightly. The commotion moved until they stood next to Gryffindor stand.
"Congratulations, mate!" Ron yelled.
"Congrats, Harry," Luna said in her dreamy voice. She had joined Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Neville to watch the game.
"Thanks, guys." He replied, smiling broadly.
Seamus and Dean stared at Firebolt in awe.
"Wow, Harry," Seamus said. "Is that Firebolt? The real Firebolt?"
"Yes." He replied.
By this time, the news had spread to other students and they all surrounded him, eager to see the broom. Professor McGonagall finally came and ordered them to get back to school since the rain had gotten heavier. Harry was glad for the interruption.

December finally came. At Hogwarts, Christmas spirit could be felt already. Professor Flitwick decorated the class with colorful lights that turned out to be real fairies. The Great Hall was decorated with twelve Christmas trees. And, the last week before Christmas, they could visit Hogsmeade.
"We could buy our Christmas presents there!" Hermione said excitedly. "Mum and Dad would love the mint flavored dental floss that is sold at Honeydukes!"
Harry too, used the opportunity to buy Christmas presents for his friends and family. He was going back to Grimmauld Place. After shopping, they went back to the castle.
A few days later, Harry was busy preparing his trunks when Hermione came in. Ron was still in common room, playing Exploding Snap with Neville.
"Hey, Hermione," he greeted his best friend. "What is it?' he asked, seeing the troubled look on her face.
"Uhm, Harry," she began. "Do you remember our Defense against the Dark Arts lesson we had a few weeks ago?" she asked.
"Which one?" he asked back.
"The one where Snape substituted for Remus," she said meaningfully.
Harry understood now. It was the lesson where Snape forced them to learn about werewolf, in hope that the student would recognize Remus for that. "And?" he asked. "I don't care if Remus has little furry problem."
Hermione sighed in relief. "So, you already knew about his condition?"
Harry rolled his eyes. "He is my honorary godfather. Of course I know about it."
"Oh, ok." She said at last. "I don't care about uh… his furry little problem either. I think it isn't fair to judge people by their race."
"I know," he said. "Speaking of which, I think you should let go Divination and Muggle Studies."
"Harry?"
"You're Muggleborn, Hermione. You don't need to take the lesson anymore. And about Divination, you think that it is utter nonsense. There is no need to take so many lessons using Time Turner."
Hermione gasped in shock.
"I have seen your schedule. You have many lessons in the same time. I overheard you talking about your homework. Not to mention the Time Turner in your neck. Well?" he asked once she kept silence.
She sighed. "You're right, actually."
"If you want to know about the lesson here, you could have read the book Hermione." he suggested.
They spend the next moment discussing about what to do. Hermione insisted that she would keep Muggle Studies until the end of third year but agreed to let go of Divination.
"I asked Professor McGonagall for this. I can't just stop halfway. It's my responsibility, Harry." She had reasoned and in the end Harry was forced to agree with her. But he had promised to help.

Unlike last year, this time Harry invited the Weasleys, Grangers, Lovegoods and Longbottoms to spend Christmas day with him. They all accepted the invitation. Grimmauld Place was never that full before. Kreacher was only glad to cook and Sirius was amazed that the elf served them all without insulting the guests.
He got a mountain of gifts from Lucius which promptly had Mrs. Weasley interrogating him and everyone found out that he had a boyfriend. But they all were accepting and Harry was relieved of it. In the end, Christmas was great.
After the guests returned to their respective residence, Harry then spent the rest of his holiday in his adult body with his husband. He had told Lucius this before so his husband was already waiting for him at their London townhouse.
"Good morning, dear." Lucius leaned down to kiss his forehead.
"Morning, Lucius." He replied.
Together, they walked to the dining room. Dobby had prepared traditional English breakfast for them. After breakfast, they retreated to Lucius' study. His husband then proceeded to show him documents about their investment in Muggle world. They were paying off magnificently.
"Everything is great," he said.
"Certainly." Lucius drawled arrogantly.
"You're so full of yourself." He commented, walking to stand behind Lucius and wrapped his arms around his husband's shoulder. "But that is one of the reasons why I love you."
Lucius didn't say anything but the man turned around and pulled Harry into his lap then kissed him passionately. The kiss grew more intense. Lucius then moved to kiss his neck. His breath hot against Harry's throat. His husband had wrapped his arms around Harry's waist and Harry had his arms around Lucius' neck. It was Lucius who transfigure one of the couches into bed.
"Are you alright?" then man asked an hour later.
"Never better." He flashed a grin at Lucius.
As Harry lay next to him, Lucius wondered if he had allowed Harry too much freedom and power over many things. He sometimes thought so because in his marriage with Narcissa, the witch knew her position and what she could and couldn't do. It was different with Harry who was raised with Muggle upbringing.
But as he looked at Harry's green bottle eyes, the messy dark hair and the features that dominated the faces of James, Al and Lily, he concluded in the end that Harry and his children were worth it. Aside of that, he did enjoy the power that came being married to the Chosen One.
