Chapter 1

It was early in the morning when emerald green eyes opened to greet the world. Harry James Potter, a bartender in New York, rubbed his eyes trying to get rid of the sleep. He looked to his left to see an empty bed and sighed. 'Another day waking up alone.'

Harry had been in a relationship with Jason Miles for two years and every morning it was the same old routine. He would get up, shower and then fix breakfast for Jason, himself and Harry's 4 year old daughter Lily. Lily was from a previous relationship. Her mother had given up custody to live the party life of a 18 year old. Now they were 22 and she was still a partyer.

"Daddy?" called Lily from behind the closed bedroom door. The red headed girl peeked her head in to see if her father was awake.

Harry smiled at his daughter. "Good morning, Lily Flower."

The little girl grinned and got onto the bed with her dad, planting a kiss on his cheek. "Where's Jason?" she questioned looking at him with curious green eyes.

The raven haired man sighed and leaned against the head board. "I don't know, baby. He'll probably be home soon. Do you want some pancakes for breakfast?"

The freckled face lit up with excitement and she nodded enthusiastically. She leapt off the bed and ran out of the room toward the kitchen, leaving her father chuckling behind her. Harry watched his little girl run off and the smile faded from his face. With another sigh, he followed his daughter out into the kitchen.

When he got there, he found Lily talking animatedly with Jason. 'Where did he come from? I didn't even hear him come in.'

Jason looked away from the smiling girl and smiled at his boyfriend. "Good morning, Sleeping Beauty."

Harry planted a kiss on the lips of his partner and stifled a laugh at his daughter making gagging noises. "Lily, darling, why don't you go get dressed and I'll call you downstairs when I have your pancakes made."

"Ok, daddy." said the girl and ran upstairs to her room.

Harry went to the kitchen and started to make breakfast. He jumped when he felt Jason wrap his arms around the man's waist. The blond man kissed his neck and smirked when he felt his partner shiver at the contact.

"Where were you this morning? I woke up and you weren't there." Harry asked, pouring pancake mix into a pan for his daughter.

"I went out for a run and I didn't want to disturb you. I know you didn't sleep well last night." Jason said nonchalantly, as if there was nothing wrong. But Harry knew better. He could smell the cheap perfume on his boyfriend's skin.

"Thank you for being so thoughtful, love." he said, closing his eyes to stop the tears from falling.

Draco stood over his lover's grave, tears falling silently down his cheeks. "Damn it, Blaise..why did you have to get in the way of that bullet, you idiot?"

Draco Malfoy was a detective with the New York Police Department and Blaise was his partner, along with his boyfriend. Draco had planned to make him his husband soon. During a homicide investigation, the man that the two had been interviewing pulled a gun on Draco. As he fired it, Blaise jumped into the path of the bullet. It pierced his left lung and he died on the way to the hospital.

"Dray?" asked a female voice from behind the blond. He turned around and saw his friend, Pansy Parkinson, holding an umbrella over herself and smiling gently at him. It was then that he realized it had started raining. Blaise loved the rain.

"Are you ready to go?" questioned the blond girl. Draco nodded, although he didn't want to leave but he knew he had to.

The two got into the limo and headed back to Draco's flat. When they entered, Draco sighed at the stach of mail greeting him on his counter. Looks like Theo picked it up for him.

"Dray, this place is a mess. One day, when you come home from work, and it's going to completely clean." said Pansy, picking up a dirty pair of socks from a chair with a look of disgust before tossing them away and sitting down.

Draco couldn't fight the small smile from coming onto his lips. The girl was a prema donna, but she was one of his best friends and he didn't know what he'd do without her.

"It's been four months since Blaise was shot, Dray. I'm not pushing you, but you need to get out of this damned flat. Why don't you come with me and Ginny to the Black Panther tomorrow night? Best gay bar in town and a damn sexy bartender. He'll knock your socks off with his eyes and he makes the best Appletinis you could ever imagine. It would be good for you. And I'm not taking no for an answer, so don't even try."

Draco rolled his eyes. "Fine, Pansy. I'll go with you and Gin. But I swear, if her brother is there, you won't be able to stop me from kicking his ass."

Pansy's laughter rang out through the house and Draco smiled the biggest smile that had came across his face in four months.

"You little slut, don't you think I know what you're doing?" yelled Jason as he slapped Harry across the face. The raven haired young man fell to the floor, looking fearfully up at the blond.

"J-Jason...I don't know what you're talking about!" Harry tried to defend himself. Thank God Lily was with Ron and Hermione tonight.

"Shut up! Did I tell you to speak?" yelled the man, kicking his boyfriend in the ribs. Harry was sure some of them were broken. "I saw you flirting with Weasley!"

Harry had to stop himself from laughing because he knew it would only make Jason madder. "Ron is married to Hermione. Why would I flirt with him?"

Jason picked Harry up roughly from the floor and punched him in the face. "Damn it! Didn't I tell you not to talk!" Harry felt the blows raining down on him and then everything went black. He welcomed the darkness.
