A/N: Ech! I have no excuse for posting this chap so late. I will say though, that it was difficult to write. (-.-'). For those of you still with me, thank you for your patience. Also, thanks for all the reviews. It feels great knowing I'm doing something right. Pretty HUGE thanks to my beta, djaddict. We both know how this would've turned out without your help. xD.
*To MoonlightVampiress and Staar, THANK YOU!* :D
All remaining mistakes are mine. Hope you enjoy!

Draco didn't know how long he held onto Harry outside the manor's front door but he wasn't complaining. It was over. It was finally over. Harry was free of the Weasleslut, and now he would be free to live his life as he wanted, and Draco would be right there with him. He wouldn't push Harry, of course, but he would show him that he could be what he wanted. He felt Harry shift slightly, obviously indicating that he was able to support himself. Draco reluctantly let go but he placed his hand lightly on the small of Harry's back as they entered the manor.
Draco offered his arm to Harry who took it without question, and he apparated them both to his study. He directed Harry to the couch and sat next to him. He made sure to leave some space between them so Harry wouldn't feel uncomfortable but it was unnecessary as Harry quickly closed the space. Draco's heart leapt as the other man then laid his head on his shoulder. Without hesitation, he lifted his hands and carded them through the soft, raven locks, inwardly smiling when Harry relaxed in his arms. The two sat in silence till it was broken by Harry's soft voice.
"I am so glad it's over Draco. I mean, a part of me is mourning the loss of the perfect family but the other part is overjoyed because that wasn't really the life I wanted. It was more the life I made myself believe I wanted."
"I know how you feel. It sort of leaves you feeling lost doesn't it?" He asked the other man and received a short nod in return. "That is expected Harry, however, you are lucky to have a very strong support system that I am sure will help you through everything."
"That includes you right?" Harry asked turning to look up at him.
"Of course Harry. From now on, I will always be here for you." He muttered, staring directly into the beautiful green eyes to show his sincerity. He was rewarded with a brilliant smile which of course he returned just as brightly.
"Draco, do you think Ginevra will try anything? I mean, I really don't see her just letting it all go." Harry pondered.
"Hmm. She may, but I believe we'll be ready for anything she throws at us. On the other hand, she may have other things on her mind, seeing as she has the paternity tests to deal with and I am sure the press will not be kind to her." He stated and he couldn't hide the vindictive smirk on his face.
"Serves her right."
"Yes, yes it does." He agreed smiling. On impulse, he lowered his face and nuzzled his nose against Harry's. He realized too late what he had done but was pleasantly surprised when Harry returned the gesture then pulled away, his cheeks flushed.
'Back off boy!' Draco chided himself before pulling back, but not too far. He had to keep reminding himself to let Harry make the first move. Things would only move forward when his raven was ready.
"Where's Scorpius?" Harry suddenly asked, bringing him out of his thoughts.
"He's at his mother's house but he'll be back tomorrow. He is spending the last of his vacation here."
"Oh, okay. That's good. Um…Draco, I'm not sure about the whole custody thing. How do you and Astoria do it?" Harry inquired and Draco could sense his nervousness.
"Well Harry, I do not think I'm the best person to explain that. Yes, Astoria and I follow the rules in terms of visitation and such, but I am fighting for full custody of Scorpius. You see, Scorp loves his mother but he hates staying with her. Astoria spends the majority of the time trying to make him hate me."
"What? But that's terrible!" Harry spluttered, sitting up and staring at him, green eyes blazing with anger. Draco's heart skipped that Harry felt that way on his and Scorp's behalf.
He turned towards the fireplace and continued, "I know. Which is why I always make sure Scorpius knows that I love him with every fiber of my being. He is the reason that I fought to not be like Lucius. I want him to grow up knowing what love is and how family is supposed to be." He said passionately and he meant every word. He glanced at Harry and saw the huge smile on his face and if Draco wasn't mistaken, his verdant eyes shone with something akin to adoration. It was an expression that made his breath catch in his chest.
"You did a great job Draco. I can see how much you love him and how happy he is. I have no doubt that you'll gain full custody soon. If you need my help, don't be afraid to ask." Harry said to him with the same huge smile and Draco had to fight to not lean across and capture those lips.
"Thank you Harry. I appreciate it. I do not think you should worry about the children, this is new to them as well so no matter what happens, you need to keep that in mind. It will take some time for everyone to get used to the arrangements."
"Okay, I'll try my best." Harry said. The clock chimed, indicating that it was six in the evening and broke the comfortable silence that enveloped the two men. "I should go now." Harry muttered standing up. "The kids must be worried."
"Yes, I'm sure they are." Draco murmured and he fought to keep the reluctance out of his voice. "You could use the floo here."
"Okay Draco. Thanks for everything." Harry said and before Draco could say anything else, he was being crushed in a tight hug. He quickly encircled his arms around Harry's waist and squeezed back just as tightly.
"You're welcome Harry." He whispered against the ear close to his lips and reveled in the light shiver it caused. He eventually loosened his arms and stepped back to give Harry room. He was again surprised when instead of pulling away, Harry leaned up slightly on his toes and placed a firm kiss on his lips. Draco couldn't help the small groan that escaped from such a simple action. He had thought Harry would need time but he was clearly wrong. His train of thought vanished when the brunet began moving his lips against his. Draco was in heaven. All too soon though, it was over as Harry finally stepped back, his face flushed and eyes alight with desire.
"I'll see you soon?" He asked and Draco felt himself harden at the huskiness of his voice.
"As soon as you'd like Harry." He replied, voice just as husky. He smiled inwardly as Harry seemed to take an involuntary step forward before realizing what he was doing and left through the floo with a quick wave and a deep blush on his face.
Draco stood there for a few minutes just reveling in what just happened, before finally sitting in his armchair. It had been a hectic day and he was glad it was over. Draco had known, without a doubt, that the trial would go in their favor but the feeling he got when it happened was still amazing. He had loved seeing the devastated look on the bitch's face when Harry laid into her . With the annoying bint out of the picture, he could now focus on what he always wanted, creating a family with his Harry. He was reminded that things may move a lot quicker than he thought, he had misjudged his raven. Harry, it seemed, was not letting anything get in the way of his happiness and Draco loved that. If he was ready to move on, Draco had no intention of stopping him. He'd have to be bloody insane to even think of trying. Harry was his now.

Harry exited the floo at the Burrow hoping with all his might that the uncomfortable floo journey had gotten rid of the blush he sported when he left the manor. The living room was empty which he was grateful for. He had thought he would've entered to see the entire Weasley clan there but he guessed they wanted to give him some space, definitely no complaint there. There was no doubt that Ron and Mione would still be there so he headed to the kitchen where he assumed they would be. He had only taken a couple of steps before his name was suddenly screeched and he once again had a mouthful of bushy, brown hair, his breath leaving him in a gasp as he was held in a vice-like grip.
"M-Mione, c-can't breathe." He stuttered out, but it fell on deaf ears as the woman continued to cling to him. He sent a pleading look to the Ron and Arthur when they entered the room behind her and smiled gratefully when Ron moved to help him
"Mione, honey, you're killing him." Ron said as he gently pried his wife from him. Harry let out a sigh of relief, grateful for air in his lungs again.
"Thanks mate."
"Sorry Harry, it's just the trial and how you left and-"
"It's okay Mione, really. I promise." He assured his best friend, giving her a quick hug. He greeted Arthur before asking about the children. He wanted to talk to them and explain what happened.
"Mum is with Lily, James is in the twins' old room and Albus is in mine." Ron answered him.
"Okay, thanks." Harry said with a sigh before heading upstairs. However, he was stopped on the way by Arthur.
"Just take your time Harry, especially with James, he hasn't left that room since he came here earlier." The older man informed him and Harry smiled thankfully before continuing upstairs. He knew that since Lily was with Molly, she wouldn't necessarily want to see or talk to him so he decided to speak to James and Albus first, then try to speak to her. It didn't take long for him to reach the twins' room and he opened the door and sighed softly when James looked up at him with tears streaming down his face.
"I'm sorry dad! I'm so sorry." He sobbed out before Harry could even say anything. Harry rushed over to him and held him in a sideways hug as he sobbed, rubbing circles on his back to calm him.
"It's okay James. It's oka-"
"No! No it's not!" James shouted, pulling away from him and standing up. "I've been nothing but horrible to you and now I know how wrong it was. And I found out that that creep is my father and I don't know what to do or think cuz everything is different now. What if I have to live with him? I don't even know him! I don't want to go with him. I really don't." James finished with a sob. Harry leaned forward and grabbed him in a tight hug. He had always been an emotional man so he was not ashamed at the hot tears that coursed down his face.
His heart went out to James. He felt a stab of guilt that he hadn't fought for custody of him but he reminded himself that at the time he thought James wanted to be with his mother more. He walked them both over to the bed and they sat down facing each other, Harry holding James by the shoulders so he could look directly into the tearful brown eyes. He could clearly see the fear of the unknown reflected in them.
"James, I know this isn't what you think you want but for now you'll have to adjust. Listen," he said when James looked like he was about to protest. "You will be going to your mother's not to McLaggen. In any case, you must not judge others so quickly. Yes, what he did with your mother was wrong but for all we know he could be a great father and dying to meet you. And if he isn't James, it's his loss. I want you to remember that I am always here for you, always. I'm not going to abandon you just because you aren't my biological son. I held you when you were born, I saw you through many firsts in your life, and I intend for that to continue. Plus, you have the entire Weasley family if you need anything." Harry told him, making sure he kept eye contact so that James knew he was speaking the truth and meant every word. Draco's words earlier had stuck in his head. He would show James that he still loved him.
"Thanks dad. I will try. Just, just don't forget about me." James whispered with a shaky smile and Harry was once again fighting for breath as he was crushed in a hug. "I'll write to you if that's okay?" James asked after he released him.
"Of course. Anytime you like. I know it's hard to think about now but I'm sure it'll all work out in the end." He assured him, giving him one last hug before walking towards the door. He had just stepped out when he heard a whispered, "I love you dad." He smiled and popped his head back in, "I love you too son." He whispered back and watch with a mixture of happiness and sadness when James' face lit up. He hadn't called him son since he found out about the tests, it must have bothered James a lot. He felt like kicking himself for being so idiotic but decided that it made no sense to. He knew what he had to do now, be there for his children, unless they stated that they wanted nothing at all to do with him. He left the room quietly leaving James to his thoughts and took the couple of stairs to Ron's room.
When he opened the door, Albus was sitting at the end of the bed, staring into space. He walked into the room and sat next to him.
"Hey Al." he said quietly after a short while, getting his attention.
"Are you and mum divorced now?" Albus asked quietly. So quietly, Harry had to strain to hear him.
"Yeah, we are." He answered.
"What happens now?"
"Well, your mother has custody of James and Lily and I have custody of you."
"Why don't you have custody of them as well? Does that mean we won't get to see each other anymore? "Albus asked, and Harry could see the green eyes filling with tears.
"Of course you will Al, we could visit them and maybe they could stay over sometime. Well, to be honest, I'm not sure about Lily but I believe James will want to visit. And maybe this will be a chance for them to get to know their biological fathers and I think they prefer to be with your mother anyway. Do you understand? I will never intentionally keep you from them Albus." Harry quickly assured his son. He breathed a soft sigh of relief when Albus relaxed. He may not have had a close relationship with his siblings but it was obvious he still loved them.
"O-okay dad. It's just, I know everything is gonna change now and I'm sorta scared." Albus whispered and Harry turned to face him.
"I know you are and that's completely normal. But everything will be okay. I'll make sure of it." Harry told him and pulled him into a tight hug.
"Dad?" Albus asked softly, he pulled back to look at his carbon copy and saw a little bit of fear enter the green eyes. "No one can ever, ever take me away right? Since you have full custody, no one can right?" he asked tearfully and Harry could do nothing but enfold him into another hug as his throat closed up. He already had this conversation with Al but it seemed his son needed more reassurance.
"No Al, they can't." he said eventually. "I won't let them."
The two Potters left the room after a little while and descended the stairs into the living room. James and Lily were already there, along with Molly and Arthur.
"Oh Harry dear, we were waiting for you to come down before we sent the children off." Molly informed him giving him a small smile. He could see the pain reflected in her usually warm, brown eyes and it saddened him. Ginevra had done this.
"Thanks for waiting mum." He said giving her a hug, it seemed today was the day for hugs. "Ron and Mione left?" he asked when he noticed their absence.
"Yes, they left a little while ago. Hugo was falling asleep." Arthur replied and Harry nodded.
"Grandmaaaaa! Let's go!" Lily suddenly shouted, stomping her foot.
"Lily you will wait!" Molly scolded her granddaughter before giving him an apologetic smile.
"It's okay mum. You guys go on." He muttered and smiled sadly when she turned and gathered Lily in her arms before flooing out. 'So much for talking to her.' He thought sadly.
"Bye dad. B-bye Albus." James said quietly, giving him a quick hug. Harry had to swallow around the lump in his throat when Albus practically threw himself at his big brother. He heard James softly mutter, "I'm sorry for everything," and saw Albus' jerky nod of acceptance before his eldest left through the floo. Albus immediately turned to him and buried his face in his stomach, Harry clutched his shaking shoulders.
"It'll work out Harry, it'll work out. At least he knows that he isn't alone and they know that they still have each other. Look at it this way, I bet you've never seen them like that, a new relationship has been formed. I believe they will no longer take each other for granted." He heard Arthur's soft voice say to him and he realised he was right.
"Thanks dad." He said to the other man before ushering Albus to the floo, holding him tightly. As soon as they reached the Hollow, Harry apparated them to the guest room and pried a sniffling Albus off of him and guided him to the bed.
He laid down next to his son who immediately curled up next to him, sniffling loudly. Harry just rubbed his back till he eventually fell asleep. As he thought about the day's events and the pain his sons were going through, his heart ached. The words that he heard countless times and the ones he repeated more than once since this all started was going around and around in his head.
'Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay…Everything will be okay."

Ginny jumped slightly as the floo flared and out stepped her mother and Lily. She had been sitting on the couch staring into space since she had apparated home after the trial. That was about four hours ago, or at least she thought so.
"Mum!" Lily screeched as she ran to her. Ginny held on to her daughter tightly. At least she still had James and Lily. She glanced over to the fireplace as it flared again, emitting James. However, instead of the happy greeting she was expecting, James just looked at her sadly and went to the room he shared with Lily. She didn't miss the red eyes and slightly flushed face, he had obviously been crying, but what for?
"Mum?" She inquired looking to her mother for answers.
"He's hurting Ginny. What did you expect? You should've thought about your children before doing what you did. Did you even think about them once? Is this how we raised you Ginny?" Molly asked her voice raising and Ginny was shocked, her mother hadn't talked that way to her in a long while. "Your father and I are so very disappointed in you Ginny. I'm not sure we can forgive you for this." She finished and before Ginny could reply she left through the floo. She could only stare at the spot her mother just stood, tears streaming down her face.
"Don't cry mum." Ginny heard as tiny fingers wiped away her tears. "You still have me. You will always have me." Lily stated and Ginny looked at her and smiled softly. Her little Lily, she knew that her daughter wouldn't abandon her like everyone else. "Mum," Lily whispered sitting down next to her, "I know why James is acting weird now."
"Why?"
"I think James talked with him. When he came downstairs he looked happy and it looked like he was crying. He came down with Albus after and Albus looked the same way. I think he told James something. I don't like it mummy. What if he tries to take us away?"
"He can't Lils." Ginny assured her daughter. "I won't let him." She continued before hugging Lily. What she was told worried her, she would fight tooth and nail to prevent Harry from getting James. She would not give him that satisfaction. "Let's go to sleep sweetie." She murmured to Lily before they both went to her room. Sleep took a while to come to her because she kept replaying Lily's words in her head. Harry would not take something else from her. She would not let it happen!
GW*GW*GW*GW*GW*GW*GW*GW*GW*GW*GW*GW*GW*
Ginny woke early the next morning. She made her way to the very small kitchenette to make a cup of coffee, unfortunately by hand, as she hadn't gotten her new wand yet. After her coffee was finished, she sat at the table intent on having a quiet morning, alone with her thoughts. That hope was dashed though as she saw three owls heading towards her window. She got up and opened the window to let them in. They all dropped off their packages and she paid the one that dropped off the Daily Prophet and watched curiously as all three flew back outside.
'I guess no one wanted replies.' Ginny thought to herself before returning to her seat. She immediately put the newspapers aside, she did not want to depress herself further by looking at the front page. There was no doubt that the divorce would be the only thing it had on it. With a sigh, she picked up one of the letters that looked official. She opened it with slightly shaking fingers and blanched when she saw the Ministry seal at the top. 'What now?' She thought.
She quickly glanced through the letter, a scream of frustration ripped from her as she crumpled it up and threw it across the room. It was a court missive stating that the official paternity tests for James and Lily had to be conducted on Sunday, with all concerned parties in attendance. She didn't want to deal with this issue so soon but now she had no choice. The public was going to crucify her because there would be no speculation now, all the lies and deceit would be confirmed. Ginny wanted to cry but forced herself not to. She had already done that enough, that was not her. She angrily grabbed up the second letter and ripped it open. A growl escaping when she saw McLaggen's handwriting. The disgusting asshole, she couldn't believe she fell for that weak idiot. He basically stated that he wanted nothing to do with her or James if he was proven as his father.
"As if I'd let you get away that easily you fucking bastard." Ginny whispered viciously to the empty room, her glare practically burning a hole through the letter. She was going to milk that idiot for all he had. It would be the perfect revenge for selling her out. She grinned as she sipped her tepid coffee. All was not lost for Ginevra Weasley.

Draco sat in his armchair grinning as he watched his son happily replying to yet another letter that he assumed was from Albus. Scorpius had been doing that all morning, almost sitting in front the fireplace because they decided to use the floo instead of owl post since it was quicker. He couldn't find it in himself to complain. He was just glad his son was back. Draco could see he was happier since he returned yesterday. With a shake of his head he turned back to the files he was reading, occasionally sipping his tea. His mind drifted soon after, of course turning to thoughts of Harry. It was a common occurrence so he had learned to just let it happen. It was Saturday anyway, so work could wait for a few more minutes. They hadn't talked since the day of the trial but Draco didn't mind, he figured Harry would want to spend time with Albus, especially since he would be returning to school tomorrow. He had spent all day with Scorpius when he arrived yesterday. He couldn't believe how quickly time had flown by and how many things had happened since school ended. It was going to be hard without Scorp at the manor but he hoped Harry would fill that void. A small chuckle escaped him as he thought about the story in yesterday's Daily Prophet. It showed the bitch kneeling on the ground in front the courtroom, a look of pure devastation on her face. Draco was sorely tempted to cut it out and stick it up in his study so he could stare at it every day and gloat. Served the bitch right and he hoped her misery wasn't over yet. He grinned.
"…Daa-aad!" Scorpius' sudden shout startled him from his thoughts. He blinked and felt his cheeks heat slightly when he realised he was staring at nothing, the creepy grin still on his face. He quickly schooled his facial expression but scowled playfully at his son when he saw him standing in front of him giggling. "Where were you dad?"
"Nowhere brat, just thinking of something."
"Duh dad, although that grin was a bit creepy. I feel sorry for whoever it was aimed at." Scorpius said giggling again. Draco just rolled his eyes at his son.
"Was there something you wanted?" He asked, eyebrow raised when Scorpius face flushed slightly.
"Al and I were talking, well writing each other and well we're leaving tomorrow so we were wondering if the four of us can have one more outing together. I mean it doesn't have to be a big deal." Scorpius quickly replied. Draco watched him curiously.
"That seems like an okay idea. Any idea on where to go?"
"Well, the manor in France seems perfect, it has the weather charm built in the wards, so you could make it like spring and we could have a picnic, aaand it's away from the public so no press and stuff." Scorpius finished with a confident smile on his face. Draco smiled secretly, Scorp and Al had obviously planned it carefully and thought of everything. No wonder they were exchanging letters so frequently.
"I have no problem with that idea, I'll floo Harry and ask." Draco told him before he got up and walked to the fireplace. He placed a cushioning charm on the floor and had just knelt down to place the call when the floo flared and Harry's head appeared.
"Draco!" Harry exclaimed. "Um, why are you on the floor? Did I interrupt you?" Harry asked and Draco just loved the cute, confused expression his face.
"No Harry, I was actually just about to call you. I'm going out on a limb here and say that we're calling about the same thing?" he inquired.
"If you're talking about being ambushed and being given the pros of a picnic in France then yes." Harry said with a smile. Draco laughed softly.
"So what do you say? They did come up with some pretty good pros."
"Yes, they did." Harry said with a laugh. "We'll get ready and floo over. Look for us in about half an hour." A loud 'Yes!' was heard from somewhere behind Harry that Draco knew was Albus, he also heard footsteps as Albus rushed off to get ready. He didn't even have to turn around to know that Scorp had left as well.
"No problem. I'll ask the house elves to prepare food for us. See you guys in a bit." Draco said and ended the call when Harry nodded in reply. "Riggly!" He called out and didn't have to wait long before a house elf popped in front of him. "Prepare some food for a picnic for four people. Just some sandwiches and some fruits to be exact. Hurry please."
"Yes Master Draco." The house elf squeaked before popping away. Draco quickly walked to his room and got ready.
Half an hour later, they were back in the study room with the picnic basket, waiting on Harry and Albus to floo in.
"This is going to be sooo good." He heard Scorpius whisper excitedly.
"You said something?" He asked curiously.
"Nope." Scorpius quickly added and schooled his features so Draco couldn't tell what he was thinking. His masks were that good. Brat. He was about to question his son further when the floo flared and Harry and Albus came through. They all greeted each other and decided to floo to the manor in France since Harry and Albus weren't keyed in to the apparition wards there.
As soon as they reached the manor Draco went to the warding area and quickly cast the weather charm. They stepped outside to warm, welcoming weather. Draco smiled, this really was a great idea.
"This place is so beautiful Draco. It's just like the last time you brought me here." Harry murmured giving him a dazzling smile which he of course returned just as brilliantly.
"It is, isn't it?" Was his reply and they walked over to a spot at the side of the manor that was under a tree. They set up the picnic blanket and placed the basket on it. The boys quickly excused themselves to go play. There was no need to worry about them, they couldn't leave the wards and they would alert them if either got hurt. The two men sat on the blanket, talking about mundane things till they lapsed in to a comfortable silence. However, Draco noticed the troubled expression that sometimes passed across Harry's face.
"Harry what's wrong?" He asked quietly, staring intently at the other man.
"It's nothing Draco. I really don't want to ruin this by bringing up depressing things."
"Harry." Draco said softly, moving closer to the raven haired man. He sat in front of him and stared into the beautiful, but troubled, green eyes. "I don't care where we are or whatever is going on. I told you that you can talk to me at any time. If something is bothering you, you wouldn't enjoy your time anyway. So spill." He urged and smiled softly when Harry gave a resigned sigh.
"I got a court missive yesterday. The official paternity tests have to be conducted tomorrow. I know that I already know what they'll say but I don't think I'll be ready. Will you…will you go with me?" He asked and Draco could hear his voice shake slightly.
"Of course Harry." Draco assured him and inwardly scoffed, as if he had any intention of letting Harry go there alone. He was allowed to go because he was Harry's lawyer and if he hadn't been he would have found some way to get Harry to take him along. The court missive wasn't news to him since Blaise had already told him about it as the dark Italian was Theo's lawyer.
"What do you think McLaggen and Nott will do?" Harry asked breaking him out of his thoughts.
"I'm sure Theo will want Lily, and with Blaise as his lawyer he will get her. As for McIdiot, it doesn't look like the git would care." Draco told Harry giving him his honest opinion. He knew for sure that Theo wanted Lily as his heiress. He didn't have much money but he would take care of her and that was important. Draco made sure to tell Harry that.
"I'm worried about James. I know he'll be hurt if that bastard wants nothing to do with him." Harry said biting his lip with worry. Before Draco could stop himself, he reached across and gently pulled the lip from the between Harry's teeth, soothing it with his thumb.
"Harry, even if that happens, we'll figure something out. With you and the rest of the family, he won't feel unloved or unwanted." Draco told the brunette, wishing he could take all the worries away.
"Okay Draco, I'll see how it goes." Harry mumbled softly as Draco dropped his hand.
"We will. Now how about something to eat?" He asked, hoping to steer them away from any more serious conversation.
"Sounds great!" Harry said, chuckling softly. He rummaged around the picnic basket and pulled out a bunch of green grapes. "Open up." He giggled, plucking one from the bunch. Draco thought he was going to throw it in his mouth but was pleasantly surprised when Harry just brought it to his mouth. He took the grape making sure to suck lightly on the lingering fingers. He adored the blush that adorned the other man's face.
Draco then plucked one of the grapes and fed it to Harry, watching with parted lips as green eyes darkened with desire as he sucked gently on the fingers in his mouth. Draco couldn't hold back anymore, with a soft groan, he pulled out his fingers and surged forward, capturing those sweet lips. His tongue swept over those lips and plunged in as Harry gasped. Their tongues danced and sparks of desire shot through him every time their tongues met or Harry groaned. This was way better than any dream he'd ever had. Eventually they pulled apart when the need for air became a problem. Harry's face was flushed and he was panting heavily. Draco knew he wasn't any better off.
"Wow." Harry whispered and Draco thought the same thing, it was truly amazing. "More." Harry breathed out and before Draco could comprehend what he meant, Harry's lips crashed on to his and the world disappeared around them. The only thing he felt was Harry's lips and his exquisite tongue. His hands found their way into Harry's hair and he distantly marvelled at its softness. He groaned as he felt a weight in his lap as Harry straddled him. One of his hands gripped on to the back of Harry's head and he tilted his own to the side, deepening the kiss. The other hand trailed down Harry's side and grabbed onto to his hip. He just wanted to thrust up but he had a little presence of mind to know it wouldn't end there and the boys could return any moment. The two of them soon separated to breathe again. Draco stared up into Harry's eyes as their foreheads touched.
"I can't tell you how long I've wanted to do that Harry." Draco whispered and was pleased to see the content smile Harry gave him.
"Me too." Harry whispered and again their lips and tongues met in the same tantalising dance as earlier. "We should…stop...before the boys come back." Harry panted out when they separated again.
"You're right." He reluctantly agreed and almost pouted when Harry slid off his lap.
Harry giggled at his facial expression. "Don't worry Dray, I'm sure we have plenty of time to do that again and very soon." Harry told him with a wink before giving him a quick peck on his lips. His head felt light but he wasn't sure if it was from the promise of more or because Harry had a nickname for him.
Not too long after they heard footsteps as the boys finally joined them, both looking happy and carefree, something which made the two dads very pleased. Harry took out some ham filled sandwiches for all of them and they ate together, occasionally talking. After the small meal Draco and Harry laid down side by side on the blanket just enjoying the calm. A soft nudge to his side had him turning his head to face Harry. The brunet nodded to his other side and Draco's eyes looked to where he had indicated. The boys had moved a little bit away, their heads bowed close together and they were talking quietly. Both he and Harry strained their heads a little bit to try to hear but could only make out some things.
"Our plan worked!" he heard Scorpius whisper.
"I know! ...them long enough." Albus added.
A giggle, from Scorpius. "It sure did. But I'm glad they're happy now. I was wondering when they'd…?" He really wished he knew the rest of that sentence. He could see Harry blushing as he made an assumption on what Scorpius meant.
"I'm not sure. Maybe…help them out more often." Albus said and Scorpius nodded decisively before they both abruptly turned around catching him and Harry in wide eyed surprise.
"Tsk. Eavesdropping is bad dad." Scorpius giggled and was quickly followed by a laughing Albus.
"We weren't eavesdropping brat." Draco said.
"Sure dad. Sure." Scorpius replied with a roll of his eyes. "Anyway, we're going to play again. Maybe a two on two quidditch match?" His son asked eagerly, his blue-green eyes shining with excitement.
"I think that's a great idea." Harry piped up. They decided that it would be Malfoys against Potters first then they'd switch.
The boys ran off to the broom shed, Draco and Harry walking hand in hand behind them. As they walked Draco glanced at Harry and saw him watching their sons with a fond look on his face. Draco knew that he would have the family he wanted sooner than he thought. His and Harry's relationship had progressed a step further and he could only see it progressing farther. Oh, how he couldn't wait.
