Black messy hair and green eyes contrasted with white blond hair and grey eyes, the two boys came off the Hogwarts Express together and walked towards their respective fathers who were standing near each other, with his mother off to the side next to her brother and his wife, Uncle Ron and Aunt Mione. The black haired boy was Albus Potter; the spitting image of his father Harry Potter his mother Ginny Wealsey had divorced Harry after his younger sister Lily started Hogwarts three years ago, Ginny was sick of Harry's indifference and Albus walked in on them arguing when...

*Flashback*

"Harry you never touch me anymore!"

"You didn't mind that a few years ago"

There was silence, Albus moved to see his father's shocked face, "Draco has nothing to do with this." The words were practiced and slowly and deliberately spoken, "Draco is a friend of mine-"

"Friend? How can you be friends with him? After everything at Hogwarts-"

"That was over twenty years ago in the middle of the War!" Albus had never heard his father shout and not at his mother... he was getting scared. "Well if you want to keep your little friend then go ahead, go on! Get out and go running to your fuck buddy, don't look at me like that Harry, I know about your little secret. The way you went to drop Albus off and come home hours later, after him you never looked at me the same and I care that you aren't touching me because you are touching HIM!!!"

Harry's eyes dropped to the floor "I am not fucking Draco, Ginny. We talk about the boys and work; we both have children, who are best friends. Albus and Scorpius becoming friends forced us to realise we were being stupid with the twenty year long feud, Draco is a good guy but if you can't handle the fact that I talk to someone not related to you by blood or marriage then ...." Harry took a deep breath "I can't and won't do this anymore Gin. You can have the house but I want duel custody of my children."

Albus saw his mother fall to the floor, tears streaming down her face "but Harry I love you... I didn't mean it... I –"

"We are through" Harry's voice was so cold Albus had only ever heard Mr. Malfoy speak like that, maybe there was truth in what his mother was saying.

Later that night Albus was in his room when his father came in, "Al, I'm sorry you had to hear that. But you must know that it won't affect your relationship with Scorpius, you can be... friends I won't stop you, however your mother might. I'm leaving when you go back to Hogwarts but during Christmas break you can either go home to your mother or myself" he held up a hand as Albus went to interrupt "I don't want you to chose but you will have to because I doubt Ron or the Weasley's will be happy that I ended it. And if Ginny has anything to do with it will tell them I am having an affair with Draco Malfoy."

"I love you dad. But..."

"No Albus I am not having an affair with him" Albus looked at his dad who was staring wistfully out the window, with a hint of regret."

*End Flashback*

Albus and Scorpius approached their fathers, hugging them and shaking hands with the other's father, then the sixth year boys parted as Albus greeted his mother slightly coldly, ever since that night, two years ago, Ginny had told anyone who would listen that Harry was having an affair with Draco Malfoy. The fact that no-one had bothered to ask Harry other than himself and Aunt Mione bothered him to no end that he lived with his father and spent Christmas with Harry, Scorpius and Draco.

Lily, came bounding up to her father and hugged him and Albus before bounding to her mother, Lily wanted to remain neutral so she spent a few days at her mother's during the Christmas break then up till Christmas Eve at her father's and the rest of the holidays with her mother.

James, the eldest, also took no sides but was more lenient towards his mother's point of view, but as he lived alone Christmas was the hardest time but he came Christmas Eve to Harry's the Christmas Day with Ginny.

Harry and Draco had taken to going out for lunch with the boys during the first day of Christmas break, as Albus turned away from his mother he saw Draco bend his head towards Harry's ear and whisper something that made Harry smile and blush, Ginny's grip tightened on his arm, Harry glanced over before slinging his arm over Draco's shoulders, "well, my dragon, I believe that is an offer I cannot refuse." Smirking at Ginny, Draco called Albus over and flung his arm around Harry's waist as the two men walked away from Ginny, Hermione, Ron, Lily and Rose (Ron and Hermione's daughter).

"Dad, you shouldn't have done that."
"Oh, Al lighten up it's just a bit of fun. Besides didn't you see your mother's face?"

"Or Weasleys?"

"Be nice Draco."

"Hahaha, I'm never nice Harry you should know that."

They walked in silence towards Harry's muggle car which brought them to the Malfoy Manor before they flooed to the restaurant. Harry and Draco still had their arms around one another, laughing merrily with Scorpius and Albus following behind. "Do you think they are you know....?"

"I dunno Scorp, it seems possible. But – your dad has a pensive eh?"

"Yea he keeps his Hogwarts memories there. Why?"

"So does mine. But I think he has other memories, maybe if we looked at them we could find out the truth."
