Chapter three

The silence in the room seemed to stretch out for ages as everyone absorbed what they were seeing before, naturally, the silence was broken by Fred and George.

"No wonder you were so…"

"Eager to get back Harry! You sly…"

"Dog you!" They chuckled.

"I think that's more likely to be Bill," Tonks snickered.

"Seriously? We thought you've been locked in your room brooding over everything and you've been seducing poor, innocent Harry here?" Charlie laughed walking forwards to slap Bill on the shoulder playfully. Bill had lowered his face slightly so his scars were mostly hidden by his hair despite the tight, comforting grip that Harry hand on his larger hand. Now he lifted his head slightly to meet his brother's eyes.

"More like he was seducing me," He smiled weakly.

"Hey! Your making me look like I took advantage of you," Harry grinned stepping closer and nudging Bill's shoulder lightly with his own, well more like his bicep considering their height difference.

"W…wait…I thought…Ginny and…but…" Molly stammered looking between Harry and Bill, their joined hands and Ginny before back again. Ron, Neville, Luna and Hermione burst out laughing while Ginny let out a groan. Harry felt Bill's entire body tensing beside him, rolling his eyes he punched him in the arm with his free hand gaining a surprised look from Charlie while Bill winced and looked sheepishly at him.

"Mum! How many times do I have to tell you, me and Harry are not getting together! Not now, not ever! I mean it's just ew," Ginny scrunched her nose as she shivered.

"Gee thanks ever so much Gin," Harry sniffed.

"Harry your gay, the thought of even kissing Gin makes you go pale," Ron snorted from where he was propping himself up on Neville's shoulder.

"Harrison, my darling, does my brother speak the truth?" Ginny gasped dramatically laying a hand over her heart.

"Alas Ginerva, my dearest...it is the truth," Harry sighed.

"Then my darling we shall just have to part in sweet sorrow, knowing we were never meant to be," Ginny sniffed, aware that they now had the attention of the entire kitchen.

"My heart shall always belong to you fairest Ginerva...just not my libido," Harry sighed taking her free hand in both of his and placed it over his own heart.

"Oh alas my love, we truly could never have been...I was only in it for the money and the sex," Ginny swooned.

"Ginny! Harry!" Molly gasped as Fred, George, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna, Remus and Tonks burst out laughing. Bill blinked between his sister and boyfriend before him and Charlie joined in the laughter. Bill wrapped his arm around Harry's waist and tugged him against his chest, pressing a quick but warm kiss against his neck.

"Molly dear, I think Harry, Ginny and now Bill have made it quite clear. You need to stop," Arthur said from where he was standing watching slightly amused.

"Are you happy Cub?" Harry blinked at the nickname turning to meet Remus's amber eyes, finding a wealth of emotion there that before had only been slightly visible.

"Yeah Remy, I'm happy," Harry smiled at the werewolf.

"Then congratulations. Both of you, I wish you many happy years," Remus smiled wrapping Harry in a tight hug before reaching up to grip Bill's arm. "You hurt him, Mooney will rip you to pieces," He added with a wide grin.

"Erm…ok?" Bill cleared his throat as a slightly embarrassing squeak came out.

"That's good. Come on, what do you want to drink," Remus tugged Harry's arm to pull him further into the kitchen, and so Bill considering he was still firmly attached to Harry's waist.

"Butterbeer?" Harry asked hopefully.

"We stocked up on it you junkie," Hermione laughed coming to join them. "So when did this happen?" She asked looking incredibly amusedly at Harry causing him to blush and glare at her.

"Well officially we've been together less than a day," Harry shrugged shyly.

"And unofficially?" Kingsley grinned.

"Probably since Harry stepped into the room a month ago and told me to stop being pathetic," Bill said but he edged back right behind Harry so they were pressed together. Harry linked their fingers together on his waist and gave them a light squeeze.

"You said what?" Charlie choked looking at Harry unsurely.

"I snapped at him, saying I didn't want his pity and he told me to stop being pathetic then," Bill smiled at the memory as Harry started blushing again.

"No wonder you weren't bothered when these two were playing tonsil hockey with each other, you were busy giving it tough love with our recluse," Ginny snickered.

"Here we are, Butterbeer and a Butterbeer with firewhisky," Remus held the glasses out to them.

"Are you ok having alcohol with the potions your on?" Harry asked concerned.

"Yeah it's fine," Bill grinned honestly at him, his face relaxed for the first time since they had left his bedroom. Ignoring the looks the others were exchanging around them Harry smiled warmly back up at him.

"So does this mean you're going to stop hiding in your room?" Ron asked bluntly wincing when both Hermione and Harry whacked him on either arm. "Geez! You two are all bones!" he groaned.

"Tea spoon Ronald! Tea spoon!" Hermione huffed confusing everyone around them.

"He's beyond the tea spoon," Harry glared dangerously at Ron causing him to gulp.

"I would back away littler…"

"Brother if we were you Harry…"

"Has that dangerous look that will…"

"Turn your hair purple if your not careful," Fred and George snickered.

"Ok, what?" Charlie blinked looking between them. "Tea spoon? Purple hair?" He asked confused.

"Hermione decided that Ron has the emotional range of a tea spoon," Harry answered as he leant back against Bill. "And the twins thought they would be clever and try and prank Luna, so I turned their hair florescent purple," He shrugged.

"Harry gets very protective of me," Luna smiled her normal faraway look as she skipped over and gave him a hug, not caring that Bill was getting a half hug as he hadn't had time to step away. "I would be careful, Remus is scary but Hermione and me will curse your balls off and feed them to you through a straw," She beamed at Bill before giving another squeeze and wandering back to an amused Neville's side.

"Your friends are scary," Bill said lowly blinking after the least dangerous looking girl in the wizarding world shocked.

"You should see what your sister can do," Harry snorted reaching up to pat Bill's cheek. Bill leant down and quickly pressed their lips together, being allowed to kiss Harry was so new and amazing that he couldn't pass up the chance with Harry's head tilted towards him, his green eyes sparkling with happiness. But also the contact with Harry provided an enormous amount of comfort and relaxed the nervousness that he was feeling at being in such a crowd. Harry kept his hand on Bill's cheek as his eyes fluttered shut and he pressed back against Bill, raising onto his toes so he could press back firmer. They pulled away after a few moments reluctantly, aware of where they were. But Harry buried his fingers in Bill's hair and pressed another light kiss before he looked back to the others, flushing lightly when he realised they had everyone's attention.

"Are they done yet?" Well almost everyone's attention. Ron pulled his hands away from his eyes when Hermione tugged an his arms, though her eyes were slightly glazed.

"I so didn't need to see that," Ron groaned.

"As opposed to the rest of us having to see you and Hermione attempting to suck each others tonsils out every few seconds?" Harry snorted. Ron and Hermione both turned an amusing shade of red.

"Yes well…Happy Birthday Harry," Hermione coughed raising her glass. The room all chorused the same causing Harry to flush at the attention and scowl at the now smirking Hermione.

"I hate you," He muttered causing her to laugh.

"Don't be so shy Harry, its your coming of age," Ginny snickered patting his arm.

"Oh Bill its good to see you up and about, how are you feeling?" Molly had apparently gotten over her shock and she made her way across to the group. Harry felt as though the wind had been driven out of him as Bill's arm tightened drastically around his waist, practically feeling the anxiety rising from the man behind him.

Quickly he threw pointed looks to Ginny and Ron who stepped out the wonky circle they had formed to intercept their mum.

"Mum, not here yeah? I don't think Bill wants attention on him," Ginny said in an undertone so only a few of them could hear them.

"That is really, really creepy, you know that don't you," Charlie blinked as Ginny led Molly over to Arthur still speaking softly.

"What is?" Ron asked confused.

"That whole, speaking to each other without actually saying anything," Remus answered amused.

"Oh…huh never noticed that we do that," Harry shrugged before taking a sip of his Butterbeer with a happy sigh.

"You want to make up to Harry, forget the chocolate get him a case of Butterbeer," Ron snickered ignoring Harry flipping him off, to Remus's choking on his own drink.

"I guess it makes sense with how much the bunch of you have been through together. I think we underestimate you all too much," Kingsley's deep baritone joined in as he stepped over to them.

"Kings, you made it," Harry beamed wriggling forward to give Kingsley a hug. Kingsley grinned when he saw the dark look on Bill's face, giving Harry a squeeze before letting him go.

"I think your lover is getting jealous," Kingsley murmured as he pulled back. Turning Harry smiled at Bill amused as he stepped back into the redhead's grip.

"I didn't know you two were so close," Remus blinked seemingly asking the question Bill wanted to ask. His arm was firm around Harry's waist as though he was worried Harry was about to run off.

"Kingsley has been offering some help book and spell wise over the last year for us," Hermione smiled, looking between them having clearly caught the interaction.

"Oh…erm…" Bill's ears flushed red, adorably to Harry as he realised how he had acted. Standing onto his toes he kissed the start of the scars where they began only inches above Bill's mouth. Bill tensed before relaxing his body and grip on Harry at the unspoken message.

"Not being ignorant Potter, good job good job! Preparing yourself," Moody nodded enthusiastically from where he was standing just across the room. No one missed the look that Harry, Ron and Hermione shared, and Bill definitely didn't miss Harry's hand tightening on his arm almost painfully. Bill felt a stab of fear at what not only his new lover but his little brother was planning to do. He had only just got Harry, he had only spent a month in the teen's presence but it was enough for him to feel a stab of fear at the idea of him being away from him.

"Yes well, now isn't a time for discussing these things, this is a celebration," Remus said with a slightly forced smile, a similar fear to what Bill was feeling clear in his amber eyes.

"Of course, now everyone tuck in, tuck in! The food will just be going to waste otherwise," Molly smiled. Bill frowned when the threesome shared another look before everyone shuffled round the table to start filling plates. He had no intention what so ever of letting Harry run off without him, of not being by his side.

"Remus here, you like ham don't you?" Tonks stuck the plate of ham sandwiches across the table and nearly threw the entire contents of the tray at Remus in her eagerness. Harry winced sympathetically at Remus before turning to look down the other end of the table so that Tonks and Remus wouldn't see the grin he couldn't hide. Tonks was clearly still hoping Remus would suddenly become attracted to her.

"Wait till she finds out Remus is gay," Ron snorted amused causing Charlie and Bill to choke shocked.

"He really should just tell her, it would make everything a lot easier," Hermione tutted though she was watching Tonks's attempts at flirting with amusement in her eyes.

"Remus is gay?" Charlie whispered blinking shocked at the bright red werewolf who was trying to fend Tonks off.

"As I am," Harry nodded before grabbing Bill's hand and tugging him to where Remus was starting to look uncomfortable. "Remy, could you pass those cauldron cakes please?" Harry asked nudging Remus lightly. Shooting Harry a grateful look he reached for the cakes as Tonks slunk down the table pouting.

"Thank you, thank you," Remus sighed in relief.

"Why don't you just tell her?" Harry shook his head.

"I don't know, the longer I leave it the harder it gets," Remus groaned miserably causing Bill and Harry to start laughing. "Its not funny!"

"Oh come on Remy it is," Harry snickered.

"Just because you got the man you've been drooling over since you were fourteen doesn't mean you should torture Remus," Kingsley smirked, stepping quickly out the way when Harry swung at him blushing darkly.

"I still can't believe that you liked me that long," Bill grinned goofily before wheezing when Harry whacked him in the chest giving him a glare as his cheeks heated up even redder. "Geez! You are all knuckles!" he complained rubbing his sore chest.

"Its my birthday you're meant to be nice to me," Harry huffed.

"Well we could mention about how…"

"Much we had to listen to you…"

"Talking about Bill and how…"

"Amazing and cool he was all through…" Before Fred or George could finish Harry flicked his wand at them both and they blinked when only a squeaking noise came out when they tried to speak. Ron, Neville and Ginny clapped approvingly while Hermione just chuckled and turned away.

"Hey I want to hear the rest of that!" Bill complained through his laughter.

"Do not make me hit you again, I'll be accused of domestic violence!" Harry pouted at him only making the redhead laugh louder, not helped by Fred and George squeaking away in the background.

"You love me too much to abuse me. Throw things at me, tug my hair yes, but hit me never," Bill grinned boyishly again wrapping himself around Harry.

"Your lucky for that," Harry snickered.

"Do we want to know the throwing things comment?" Neville asked with a raised eyebrow.

"He was being stupid about his scars, and shouting at him wasn't working so…" Harry shrugged pressing his flushed cheek against Bill's shoulder.

"So you threw things at him?" Remus laughed.

"Nothing that would hurt him," Harry defended.

"No but you have bloody scary aim with a drawing pad," Bill snorted rubbing his forehead in memory.

"Well you shouldn't say such stupid things," Harry huffed fixing his intense green eyes onto Bill.

"I was telling the truth, I am scarred," Bill argued.

"Not hideously though!" Harry's eyes darkened warningly.

"Maybe," Bill shrugged.

"I'd just agree, when he gives you that look you are never going to win," Ginny said softly.

"There is no maybe about this Bill," Harry said firmly tugging Bill down to face level by his lapels, both of them unaware that they had the attention of nearly the entire kitchen again.

"I'm sorry," Bill smiled warmly at Harry. Harry snorted and lightly tugged Bill's hair before turning to finish filling his plate as though nothing had happened.

"You two are…"

"So cute!" Fred and George cooed.

"Oh good, you found your way out of my spell," Harry rolled his eyes before groaning as he took a bite of the chicken rolls. "This is fantastic Molly!"

"Hey one of us could have done the food," Ginny huffed.

"Its cooked, not char grilled so nope, you didn't do the food," Harry snickered dodging lightly out the way of the sausage roll that flew his way.

"Bloody seekers," Ginny scowled.

"And you call yourself a chaser, how you manage to score goals with that aim I don't know," Harry teased. He dodged the second sausage roll only ti turn at the yell and start laughing as Bill fished a soggy sausage roll out his drink.

Everyone wandered around from group to group chattering lightly, the subject of the war firmly avoided, McGonagall going so far as to silence Mad Eye when he nearly brought it up again a few times. He was shocked to get a big hug off his Head of House and a warm congratulations to himself and Bill. The others teased him about being her favourite once she was out of earshot.

"Time to blow out the candles and cut the cake! Birthday boy to the front!" Molly called waving Harry over with a beaming smile. Harry shuffled in front of the cake already blushing at all the attention. Bill and Remus were close by him on his right, Molly and Arthur to his left. "I'm sorry for how I acted earlier dear, I honestly thought you and Ginny…but you've made him smile again, so thank you," Molly whispered in his ear as she gave him a tight hug. Harry smiled shyly at her before squeezing back earning an ear splitting grin from the woman.

"Come on! We want to eat some cake!" Ron complained good naturedly from across the table.

"Ok, ok!" Harry smiled good naturedly backing out of Molly's grip and turning to the amazing cake.

"Don't forget to make a wish," Bill said placing his hand on the back of Harry's neck, the touch sending a shiver of both desire and contentness through his body. Looking around the table he took in the faces of the people that he loved and cared about most in his life, even Mad Eye was amongst the small circle of people he truly counted as a friend. All of them were gathered here to celebrate his birthday, to try and give him a special day despite everything that was happening and as he leant forwards to blow out the candles he could only think of one thing, one wish that whispered through his mind as he blew out the candles.

"Keep them safe,"
