"Will he be alright Doctor?" Draco asked the doctor worriedly as the grey haired man examined Lucius who had been mover to his bed and changed with the wave of a wand into his comfortable nightclothes.

"I've warned him time and time again about overdoing it," the doctor replied with a sad shake of his head, "His heart isn't as strong as he sometimes thinks it is and neither is the rest of his body."

"But he'll be alright?" Draco repeated his question.

"A week of bed rest and he'll be back to his usual self. As for alright, well…"

"I know what his overall prognosis is Doctor," Draco said quietly. The Doctor nodded sadly and packed away his things into his black bag. "I'll get Nippy to show you out. Thank you for coming."

"Anytime," the doctor nodded as the little house elf opened the bedroom door.

Draco perched on the side of the bed, watching his father's relaxed face as he slept under the influence of the Doctors energy replenishing healing draft. Why hadn't his father told him the strain of looking after his children was too much for him? He'd never have left him alone with his children all day with only Nippy to help him if he'd known his father wasn't feeling well.

"Daddy?" Kians little head poked around the bedroom door. Ellie's head appeared above his and then Jamie's above Ellie's.

"Come in," Draco said warmly, holding his arms out to his children. Kian rushed to him and jumped up into his fathers lap.

"Is grandfather alright?" Ellie asked worriedly, leaning against Draco's thigh as she looked at Lucius.

"He will be, he's just a little bit run down at the moment," Draco answered.

"What does that mean?" Kian asked.

"He's a bit tired," Draco said softly, playing with Kians hair, "So we're going to have to leave him alone to sleep for a couple of days."

"He'll get better?" Kian asked.

"Yes."

"Good," Kian mumbled.

"We like Grandfather," Ellie said softly. Jamie nodded in agreement. "Daddy?" Draco met his daughters gaze, "I'm hungry." Draco looked at the clock.

"No wonder your hungry. It's seven o'clock and we haven't had tea yet," Draco said, not too loudly but louder than he'd been speaking before. He stood up, taking Kian with him and sitting the four year old on his hip easily. "Nippy?"

"Yes Master Draco?" the house elf asked after appearing in the room.

"It's time for my children and I to have tea," Draco told the house elf, "We'll meet you in the dining room."

"Yes Master Draco," the house elf nodded, disappearing.

"Say goodbye to Grandfather guys," Draco said to his children, Leaning down so that Kian cold kiss Lucius' cheek. Ellie leaned over and did the same. Jamie wouldn't kiss his cheek but he did gently touch his hand. "Right, food."

"So Harry, I thought we could have a romantic dinner together next weekend," Clive said as they two walked through Hogsmeade together one weekend not long after Draco's visit to Hogwarts.

"Oh Clive I can't. Not next weekend," Harry said apologetically.

"Why not? Teacher thing?" Clive asked.

"No. I've agreed to have dinner at Draco's next weekend," Harry explained. Clive's expression darkened and he pulled Harry down the alley they had just been passing, his hand not leaving Harry's arm.

"Draco the ex?" he asked angrily.

"Yes."

"Why? Do you want him? Am I not good enough?" Clive asked.

"What? No! I'm not having dinner with him for that! How could you think that?!?" Harry asked, completely shocked. He pulled his arm away from Clive. "I'm going so I can spend some time with Kai and Jamie. My children!" He walked away from Clive. "I can't believe you would think so little of me! Again!"

"I-I'm sorry Harry. I just love you so much and I-I get scared that maybe you'll want to go back to him for your children's sake," Clive said, hurrying after Harry and catching his arm again, "I love you Harry and I don't want to loose you."

"You wont Clive," Harry placed his hand gently and reassuringly on Clive's cheek, feeling the stubble beneath his palm, "I love you too. I just want to get to know my sons. Next time…next time you can come too."

"Ok. I'm sorry for what I said Harry," Clive said quietly, taking Harry's hand off his cheek and holding it in his own before leaning in to kiss Harry. "I'm sorry Harry. Please forgive me." Another kiss, more passionate this time. Clive released his hands and cupped Harry's ass through his black robes. Harry's hands settled on Clive's shoulders as he responded to the kiss eagerly.

"I do Clive, of course I do," Harry murmured against his partners lips. "How about this. We'll spend the night and all day Sunday at the house together. Just us. Some alone time."

"I like the sound of that," Clive grinned wickedly at Harry before taking two steps forwards so that Harry found his back pressed up against the wall. "But that's next weekend…what about right now?" Clive asked, tipping his head to the side so that he could nip at Harry's neck.

"Well…"

"Yes?" Clive asked.

"I think we should…make our decision…on what to do this weekend…back…back in my rooms at…Hogwarts," Harry gasped as Clive continued to abuse his neck with his very talented lips, teeth and tongue.

"Brilliant idea love."

"Good afternoon Professor," Kai said as Harry opened the door to the first year boys dormitory both of his sons occupied.

"How did you do that?" Harry asked.

"You're scent," Kai shrugged from where he was sat reading a book on his bed. Ken was sat beside him, also reading but with his eyes not his fingertips. Across the room on Fred's bed he and Jeremy were playing a game of Wizarding chess on what looked to be Ron's old set, looking even worse for wear now. And Jason sat alone reading a comic book. No surprise there.

"What are you all doing up here? We used to spend all our time in the common room or outside," Harry asked.

"Too cold outside," Fred answered.

"Wimp," Jeremy laughed, earning a thump on the arm.

"Too loud in the common room," Kai answered, "Plus we're going out soon anyway aren't we? Might as well be up here so we can get ready." He nodded in the vague direction of Jason to indicate who he was talking.

"That was actually what I came up to talk to you about. Fifteen minutes and we'll be leaving," Harry said with a smile. "That means get ready to go Jason." Kai had already placed his bookmark in the book he was ready and was setting it aside. Jason however hadn't moved.

"I am ready!" Jason protested, looking down at his weekend clothes.

"You are not going in a t-shirt that says 'Chaos, Panic & Disorder. My Work Here Is Done'. Put one of your shirts on. I'll let you get away with the jeans," Harry ordered. Jason grumbled, threw his comic aside and went to his trunk. Seeing his son was going to obey him Harry left them alone to get ready.

"Just put the shirt on top," Fred suggested.

"Nice idea," Jason laughed happily, pulling out one of his extra school shirts he pulled it on over the black t-shirt. He left it un-buttoned so that the white lettering could still be seen. Kai pulled his own t-shirt over his head after he'd found the shirt he'd been looking for. Long ago his dad had put magical tags on all of his clothes, tags that said in brail what the item was. Once the item was on his body however the tags would disappear but as soon as he removed them the tags were back. The shirt he pulled on was black and made of silk and looked very good on him just like black silk had always looked good on Draco. It was the hair, dark colours just looked good with platinum blond hair. Over the shirt he pulled on his black jacket.

Harry returned for the two boys in ten minutes, a fact Jason was quick to point out and complain about even though he wasn't doing anything and five minutes more of nothing wouldn't have been a big deal. Kai struggled to keep up as they walked through the halls and then down the path to Hogsmeade, navigating the unfamiliar path with his stick. After he stumbled so badly he nearly fell Harry linked arms with his son and said quietly,

"You don't mind do you? I just want to help."

"No Professor. Thank you," Kai said quietly, folding the stick away and putting it in his pocket with his wand. Jason rolled his eyes at them. They reached Hogsmeade and Harry Apparated the three of them to Malfoy Manor. "That…wasn't fun." Kai mumbled, holding his stomach in an effort to calm it down.

"What are you talking about? That was great!" Jason laughed loudly.

"You're not blind," Kai muttered.

"Oh yeah."

"I'll get it!" Elly screamed as the doorbell rang and she too off at a run, scrambling round the corners and down the stairs. She almost ran smack into the door. Pulling the large handle down she used all of her six-year-old strength to pull the door open, it took a while though as the door was very heavy! "Hello, welcome to Malfoy Manor. Would you like to come in and I'll take your coats?" She'd been practising that all day. She'd also been getting ready all day so her appearance was perfect.

"What a responsible young lady," Harry said with a smile as he stepped into the entrance hall of the manor he hadn't been inside of in nearly eleven years. He shrugged off his coat and handed it to the little girl who rushed to put it in a little cupboard obviously just for that purpose.

"Kai? Can I have your coat?" she asked when she returned.

"Of course you can Elly," Kai smiled fondly in the direction of his sister's voice, slipping his jacket off and holding it out. She took it, put it in the cupboard and then rushed back to hug her brother tightly. "Whoa! Warning Elly, warning."

"Sorry Kai but I haven't seen you in ages!" Elly laughed.

"Kai!" the shout came from the top of the stairs and then Kian was running down to hug Kai's legs just as tightly as Elly had. This time Kai was expecting it however. "Missed you! Missed you! Come see my room!"

"Whoa little man when did you start talking?" Kai asked, putting a hand on the top of his littlest brother's head. When he'd left for school all you could ever get out of Kian were one-word conversations.

"Grandfather likes me to read to him," Kian explained eagerly, "Daddy says I'm doing good and I'm going to read to daddy when I go to his house this weekend." Kai was greatly impressed by his shy little brothers progress. "Come see my room!"

"Aren't we here to have Kian? I can see your room after we've eaten," Kai said diplomatically. Elly had by now turned to Jamie.

"Hello. It's nice to meet you again," she was being as polite as possible.

"Er, yeah, you too," Jamie replied.

"Everyone's in the dining room already so if everyone would like to follow me," she'd been hanging around with Nippy and listening to the way the house elf said things. Kian slipped his hand into Kai's and Kai squeezed tightly. They followed Elly up the stairs to the grand first floor dining room.

"Hello Harry," Draco said as they entered the room, "Hello Jason."

"Hello Draco," Harry replied quietly, slightly stunned by his ex's appearance. He looked utterly delicious in a emerald green shirt and tight black trousers.

"Hello Mr Malfoy-Smith," Jason said, remarkably polite for once.

"Call me Draco, Jason," Draco smiled warmly at his son who sort of smiled back, feeling a little awkward, "It's good to have you both here." He walked over to Kai then and pulled him into a gentle hug, "You look wonderful Kai, school life is obviously good for you."

"Thank you daddy," Kai said quietly. "Where's Jamie?"

"Here," the sulky voice came from further into the room and Kai guessed correctly that he was already sat at the long table.

"Oh dear, what's up with you?" Kai asked.

"Dad made me change," Jamie grumbled. In that moment he sounded so much like Jason that Harry couldn't help chuckling softly. "What?"

"You sound just like my son," Harry said, nodding to Jason, "He didn't want to dress up either. I had to order him to put a shirt on and look what he did. He put it on top of the one he was wearing."

"I like your t-shirt," Jamie said, reading Jason's quickly.

"Thanks," Jason said a little awkwardly.

"Well if everyone wants to take a seat at that end of the table we are just waiting on my father and then we'll begin dinner. Elly, why don't you go see what's keeping your grandfather?" Draco suggested. Elly nodded and left the room.

"You can sit by me Kai," Kian said eagerly, pulling his brother to his usual seat, "This one." He put Kai's hand on the chair beside his.

"Thanks Kian," Kai said with a smile for the little boy who was eagerly climbing onto his seat. Harry and Jason sat beside Jamie and Draco sat on the other side of Kian. There was an empty seat at the head of the table, for Lucius obviously and another on Draco's other side.

"Hello everyone," Lucius's slightly weak voice came from the door and Harry rose from his seat at exactly the same moment Draco did, "Oh sit down you two. No matter how formal this young lady has seemingly made this meal there is no need for you to stand for me." He leaned heavily on his cane and the ever-helpful Elly, walking slowly to his seat. "You're looking good Harry."

"Thank you Lucius. You're looking better than the last time I saw you," Harry responded truthfully. Lucius may not be healthier than the last time they'd met in Diagon Alley before Draco had come back into both of their lives but he certainly looked better; he was smiling a lot more.

"And you must be my last grandson," Lucius said as he dropped into his seat, smiling over at Jason, "I haven't seen you since you were a baby." Jamie didn't know what to say as his feeling of awkwardness grew. "You look a lot like your father."

"I know," Jason said quietly.

"Can we eat now?" Jamie asked loudly.

"Jamie," Draco glared at his son.

"Of course we can eat Jamie," Lucius smiled at his grandson and then called out softly to the house elf listening in, "Nippy. You may serve now."

The food appeared on their plate's just like at Hogwarts and it was thoroughly delicious. The large family chatted as they ate, Jason warming up as his stomach filled, mostly to Jamie. The two boys were incredibly similar and not just in looks. Kai and Kian chatted together and with Lucius, Kai noticing the way Lucius encouraged his previously quiet brother and corrected his miss-pronunciations gently.

Draco and Harry didn't mean to but for the entire meal their attention was focused only on each other. They chatted quietly across the table and when both of them reached for the jug of water on the table and their hands met they both jumped and snatched their hands back, as if stung by lightening. They both found themselves wondering what it would be like if they hadn't fought so much back then, if they'd stayed together. Draco didn't wonder for long because he wouldn't change anything for the world, he wouldn't change the children that he had. He did begin to wonder however if they could still work now…

After they finished desert, a muggle brand of chocolate ice cream that Kian had chosen especially for the occasion, they all retired into the family room for hot drinks and biscuits. Or at least the adults had hot drinks and biscuits in the family room. Kian dragged Kai off to show him his room and Kai spent an hour listening to the descriptions and feeling the things shoved into his hands. Jamie took Jason to his own room to show him his rapidly growing Quidditch memorabilia collection, he was getting quite seriously into the Wizarding sport. Only Elly remained in the family room, sitting on Lucius's lap and observing Draco and Harry as they talked with each other. She wasn't blind either, she noticed the little smiles and the little touches and the little blushes…

"They still like each other," she said quietly to Lucius.

"Yes they do," Lucius agreed.

"Are they going to get back together?" she asked.

"I don't know sweetheart, that's up to Harry and your daddy," Lucius answered, brushing her blonde hair back from her face.

"I hope they do, I like Harry."

A/N There we go. Now I'm not sure of the next chapter title yet so I'm afraid I can't let you know what it is.
