Chapter One

Harry leant over and pressed his lips to Fabian's gently a couple of times before pressing down firmer, smiling slightly when Fabian hummed happily into the kiss and reached up to twine his fingers through Harry's hair to hold him in place.

"Good morning," Harry said softly when they finally parted.

"That is a very good morning," Fabian grinned stretching lazily.

"Its about to get better," Harry snuggled into Fabian's side once he had sat up and levitated the breakfast tray he had made up for them onto his lap.

"Breakfast in bed!" Fabian smiled reaching out to pour their tea.

"I wanted to do something special for our last morning of freedom," Harry admitted.

"Hey its going to be ok, remember what I said last night?" Fabian said softly curling his arm around Harry's shoulder.

"I know. But still its going to be different," Harry sighed.

"I am slightly worried what Sirius is going to do to me for corrupting his godson," Fabian winced.

"It was part of his plan for us to get married," Harry said confused.

"Yes but I think this little idealistic part of his mind had it that it would be a marriage of convenience only and that you would remain all sweet and innocent and virginal," Fabian grinned.

"Ah well, you definitely did not stick to that part!" Harry snorted.

"Hey I didn't hear you complaining exactly!" Fabian huffed.

"I couldn't, you took advantage of my sweet, innocent, virginal mind and did wicked things to me!" Harry said dramatically batting his eyelashes at his husband who looked back for a second before bursting out laughing.

"You?!"

"Hey I'm sweet and innocent!" Harry huffed kicking Fabian playfully.

"You forget I have seen what your sweet and innocent mind can do," Fabian grinned capturing Harry's leg and tugging him underneath him as he waved the breakfast tray to hover safely over them. "And I have felt what you sweet and innocent mind can do,"

"Nope, nope, all sweet and innocent here," Harry insisted as he wrapped his arms around Fabian's neck.

"Hmm, you sure? This doesn't feel sweet and innocent," Fabian murmured huskily s he pressed their bodies together, sealing their lips together before Harry could say anything more.


"Are you all ready to go? Do you have everything packed?" Remus asked Sirius, watching amused as his mate rushed around the room like an over grown, over excited child.

"How can you be so calm!? We are finally getting to see Harry again!" Sirius grinned.

"I am excited, but we have a little longer to wait, and remember we aren't staying with them," Remus reminded.

"Oh Harry will change his mind when we get there, why wouldn't he want us with him?!" Sirius waved him off.

"Sirius, he and Fabian are newly married, and it sounds like they are settling quite well into married life," Remus said gently.

"Yes companionship can be quite settling," Sirius nodded as he tried to choose between two sets of robes making Remus wince.

"Erm Sirius I'm not entirely sure that companionship is what they have found in each other," Remus said slowly.

"What else would it be?"

"I'm fairly sure they are having a full relationship," Remus suggested.

"Of course they are, they seem to be very good friends already," Sirius nodded.

"No Sirius, a physical relationship, I think they are having a physical relationship as well," Remus blurted out frustrated.

"Like...wrestling?" Sirius asked hopefully looking at Remus.

"No Sirius, not unless that is an euphemism for sex," Remus snorted.

"LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA, don't use that word in context of Harry! You don't think they have had sex do you?!" Sirius asked horrified.

"Sirius they are married, and getting on very very well. I think they have," Remus laughed.

"From what I have heard and accidentally seen via floo, and heard from poor Uncle Gid they have had it many times, in many different positions," Ron grumbled as he walked passed their room.

"I think you just broke Sirius!" Bill laughed as he caught the expression on the man's face.

"Remus, its not true right?" Sirius looked worriedly at the werewolf before his eyes narrowed when he caught the expression on his face. "What is that look?"

"What look?"

"That guilty look,"

"I erm...I may have flooed and found them...erm indisposed...on the floor," Remus said blushing a furious red.

"And?" Sirius narrowed his eyes further.

"And on the sofa...and I saw them on their dining table...and against the wall," Remus said clearly mortified.

"Oh Merlin's Balls! What has he been doing to my Harry!" Sirius shouted.

"Erm Sirius, Harry seemed quite...enthusiastic...erm when they were on the sofa he was on top," Remus groaned covering his face.

"I...I...I feel ill," Sirius sat down blinking at the floor.

"Think how I felt! I'm still seriously considering getting obliviated," Remus huffed.


"Wow this is gorgeous!" Ginny gasped as they portkeyed in front of the gate at looked up at the beautiful house in front of them.

"Fabian bought it when he decided he wanted to settle down," Molly nodded as she straightened herself out.

"Its very Harry," Remus smiled.

"It does suit them both really," Bill nodded.

"Come on, I can't wait to see Harry," Ron grinned opening the gate and hurrying down the pathway. Just before they reached the beautiful wooden porch however they heard a shriek from around the side of the house. Frowning at each other they shared a look before the second shriek clearly in Harry's voice reached them. Hurrying around the side of the house they all drew their wands ready for an attack.

What they found had the pausing and then smiling, Harry was laughing as Fabian swept Harry off of his feet and started pressing playful kisses to Harry's face. They watched as Harry laughed and turned in his arms, meeting his kisses with a smile and a happy laugh that none of them had really heard before.

They were startled when barking reached their ears and they watched a slightly gangly blue eyed puppy racing towards them barking. Harry and Fabian pulled apart and blinked to see all of them standing crowded around the back gate.

"Cavall!" Harry called the puppy as he started bouncing around them hurrying over. "Hey everyone," He grinned before yelping when he found himself half buried under a pile of bodies.

"Hi nice to see you all too, its only been a few years, don't worry about me," Fabian said dryly as he wandered over.

"Guys! Oxygen!" Harry gasped.

"If its all the same to you I like my husband alive," Fabian laughed reaching into the body pile and tugging Harry out.

"Husband! That just..."

"...Sounds wrong," Fred and George mock shuddered.

"Now now don't be like that, come here and give your Uncle Harry a hug!" Harry grinned holding his arms open.

"Oh Merlin please don't say that!" Ron grimaced.

"Aww is that anyway for my favourite nephew to speak to me!" Harry said in mock offence before dodging forwards and kissing Ron's cheek, dodging out the way laughing when Ron swiped at him.

"That is just wrong, its bad enough finding out that mum, dad and Sirius are some sort of master spies/actors!" Ginny shook her head.

"You're just sore because we had you fooled as well," Sirius laughed as he snagged Harry as he went passed him and pulled him into a tight hug, Remus hugging him from the other side and protected him from Ron.

"I honestly thought you hated each other's guts," Bill added.

"I am a master actress thank you very much," Molly threw her hair back and tilted her chin up getting a laugh from all of them.

"Come on we were just about to head inside, we will show you around," Fabian offered. Sirius and Remus seemed unwilling to let Harry out of their sight, so he led them in by their hands grinning at the both of them.


The tour of the house had gone well, though it took three times as long as it should have as they were all catching up with each other, pausing to chat in the rooms. Harry grinned as Fabian blushed while Molly congratulated him on making a good choice for their home.

"I'll make everyone drinks," He said waving them through to the living room as he diverted back into the kitchen. He was pottering around filling some jugs with lemonade and juice when he heard someone coming in behind him, turning he expected it to be Fabian but instead found Sirius and Remus standing there.

"Hey need a hand?" Remus offered.

"Please, could you get glasses from that cupboard for me," Harry nodded to the cupboard and finished putting together the different drinks waiting for them to speak.

"You're looking good," Sirius brushed Harry's fringe back looking at his godson carefully.

"I feel better than I can remember ever feeling," Harry nodded settling against the counter.

"And you're happy?" Remus asked walking over to them and wrapping his arm around Harry's shoulder.

"Very. At first I really wasn't sure, but then I read the letter Fabian sent over with the clothes for me and I felt a bit better. But when I saw Fabian, I don't know he just made me feel safe you know? The longer that I spend with him, the more that I fall in love with him. He treats me really well. Siri?" Harry asked slowly reaching out and taking his godfather's hand.

"Yes?" Sirius asked worriedly.

"Do you mind me asking, if arranged marriages are so common why..."

"Why I didn't end up married? It was part of the reason that I left home when I did, pretty much a major reason really. All the matches that my darling Mother tried to arrange for me where people I would never want to spend my life with, people that I wasn't even magically compatible with. I know my other was doing it to punish me for not being the son she wanted, but I couldn't understand why the others parents were agreeing to them. But basically it was run away or end up in a marriage that I would be truly miserable in," Sirius answered Harry's unspoken question.

"And we had realised that we were magically compatible and we fell in love with each other," Remus added sharing a soft smile with Sirius.

"So...when are you two getting married?" Harry grinned as the two started spluttering.

"Hey everything ok? Oh sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt," Fabian flushed a little looking between them.

"Its ok, they were just making sure that you're treating me right," Harry said bluntly.

"What is this old friend, do you have no trust in me?" Fabian looked at Sirius who was blushing slightly.

"Of course, but this is my godson, I have to make sure," He grumbled.

"I love him, I wouldn't do anything to hurt him," Fabian said softly meeting Sirius eyes.

"That's all I want to hear," Sirius nodded.

"Oh Merlin can you two stop now please?!" Harry groaned, his cheeks bright red. When Fabian looked at him he rolled his eyes and held his hand out for his husband.

"So you two are settling into married life quite well?" Remus asked with a small amused grin.

"Very," Harry smiled happily.

"I love what you are doing with the house, it is a very good mix of the two of you," Sirius said looking around the kitchen.

"Its starting to feel like a real home," Fabian nodded.

"It will do once you lot have helped us decorate the living room anyway," Harry said slyly.

"Oh that will...hey wait? Decorate? Why are we helping you decorate?" Sirius whined.

"Because many hands make light work, and while you are all here you can help us out," Harry shrugged.

"But that's not fair, we're not slave labour!" Sirius pouted.

"Your family so you kind of are," Fabian grinned throwing his arm over Sirius' shoulders.

"Erm is this private or can we call join in?" Ron asked suddenly appearing and throwing his arms over Remus and Fabian's shoulders. "We're all getting thirsty out here,"


"Fred!"

"George!"

"For the love of Merlin will you two behave!" Molly huffed scowling at her twins.

"You two get paint on my carpet and I'll turn you into bad drag queens for a month," Harry frowned at the two.

"Honestly, I'm their mother and they listen more to you than they do me," Molly shook her head.

"Uncle Harry has been more second mummy Harry for years, he mother hens us all when we're in school," Fred and George chortled.

"Will you stop calling him uncle Harry its weird! He's been our brother or years," Ginny scrunched her nose before she finished painting the bit of wall she had been assigned.

"But he is uncle Harry now! We saw that quite clearly this morning when we caught them on the kitchen co..."

"What was that?" Sirius whirled round with a glare to catch Harry stepping away from George whose entire face was now grey and the wall smudged.

"Nothing," Harry smiled sweetly. Sirius glared deeper, turning it onto Fabian who was blinking innocently back at him.

"It was a little traumatising," Fred muttered quietly as he sullenly painted his bit of wall.

"You think you're in pain, you don't know the meaning of pain!" Gideon hissed back.

"Oh don't be a drama queen, Rose no! No hands in the paint!" Zoe hurried off to catch up her daughter.


"I think you are actually better at organising this lot than Molly," Fabian said amused as he stepped back into the kitchen where Harry was holding court.

"Shhh don't let her here that, she get upset," Harry laughed. "Here we are, this should be the last of it, is the barbeque ready?"

"All fired up and ready to go, and Remus is stopping Arthur from getting near to it," Fabian nodded. He blinked when Harry gripped the lapels of his robes and tugged him into a kiss before he could go back outside, but he quickly sank into the kiss, the sounds of their family laughing and talking in the garden, Cavall barking, the splashing from the pool all sinking into the kiss with his husband.

"Mmm love you," Harry said softly.

"I love you too, what was that for?" Fabian asked leaning in for another kiss.

"Because I've missed you," Harry shrugged.

"Since this morning?" Fabian grinned.

"What can I say, you're addicting,"


"I don't think I could eat another bite," Ron groaned flopping onto the deck chair.

"No wonder, you have eaten half the food we had to feed the five thousand," Harry teased where he was settled on a sun lounger with Fabian cuddled against his husband's chest.

"I'm a..."

"Growing boy," Harry, Fred, George and Ginny all chorused.

"See you agree," He said pompously sticking his nose into the air.

"That was lovely, thank you Harry, Fabian. You make a good team," Molly sighed happily.

"Oh Merlin you two are sickening!" George and Gideon groaned as Fabian and Harry grinned at each other at the comment.

"You're just jealous that I got to Harry first," Fabian glared at his nephew playfully.

"What?" Fabian's glare turned deadly until Harry smacked his thigh.

"Calm down, they're winding you up," He rolled his eyes.

"Not to bring the mood down, but are you all set for going back to Hogwarts? Its only tomorrow left," Ginny asked moving her feet in Harry's lap slightly.

"We filled out all the forms and documents informing the Headmaster and the school that I am now married and will require access to floo home daily, and that I will be missing during the weekends. Dumbledore knows as of yesterday probably that I am married and who to," Harry nodded.

"We're as ready as we're going to be," Fabian agreed.

"Don't worry we'll be keeping an eye on him at school," Ron said softly.

"Not to mention that Harry is quite the force to be reckoned with himself!" Ginny snorted.

"Besides, I think Dumbledore is terrified of us storming the school if he does anything to try and interfere," Gideon grinned with too many teeth.
