Okay enough chit chat and on to the story! i know its a bit slow in the beignning but bear with me, next chapter will be updated on wednesday!

Chapter 1

"Harry, will you keep stirring the sauce for me, I have to go see if I still have a living room left," Hermione handed the wooden spoon over to Harry and took off before he could reply.

Sighing Harry took over and waited for the eventual explosion.

"Ronald Weasley, if you don't want to sleep on the sofa for the rest of the month, I suggest you clean up this mess right now!" And there it was.

Harry almost laughed at Ron's weak protest, and little Rose's giggling. This is why he loved coming to Ron's and Hermione's; the chaos, the noise, the squealing and laughter of children, the feeling of coming home that was missing from his oh so pristine life.

No one was more surprised than him when he had politely refused to become an auror and then had broken up with Ginny. He felt he was too young to just settle down and get married; he wanted to see the world. That was why he took up the position of an international liaison officer between the different wizarding ministries, it allowed him to travel and see the world. He was surprised when he actually started to like, no, love his job, meeting new people, negotiating different treaties, it's like he was born to do this.

"Thanks Harry." He was jolted back to the present.

"No problem, 'mione," he turned towards her and still couldn't believe this beautiful woman was the bushy haired girl he and Ron had rescued from the girl's toilet in first year. He smiled at the memory and Rose gurgled, stretching her small hands out.

"So how's life? I feel like we don't see you at all Harry! How are you?" Hermione asked as Harry took Rose from her.

"Life's good. Australia was amazing, I have to go back sometimes with more time. I have nothing to do for a week or so from today on and then I'm off to the states about the new muggle wizard relation bill that's about to pass," he rattled off almost breathlessly.

"Wow! No wonder we don't see you anymore! So what's your plan for the week that you are here?" she asked as she dished up the spaghetti.

Harry hugged his god-daughter closer to him, "Well I'm going to spend some time with this monster, and I have some dinner plans but other than that I'm free."

"Dinner plans? With a certain Blaise Zabini?" she enquired almost innocently.

"Maybe!" Harry knew it drove Hermione crazy when he gave her as little info as possible.

"Harry!" she gave him a look, showing him she knew exactly what he was doing.

"Ok Ok! Yes, I have dinner plans with Blaise" he followed her out of the kitchen.

"Who knew one day you would be dating anyone from Slytherin" she said, as if still she wasn't sure how everything had happened.

"Well he's charming and good-looking-"

"And he was in Slytherin!" interrupted Ron as he came into the kitchen.

"Oh grow up Ron, we aren't in school anymore. No, what worries me most is that I heard he is a bit of a playboy," Hermione looked at Harry in concern.

"I'm not dating him, we are just having dinner. So you have nothing to worry about Hermione. It's not like I'm going to sleep with him!"

Ron's face went green at the thought of Harry sleeping with anyone, "Whatever, mate, I'm still freaked out that you're dating a Slytherin, though I guess I should be thankful it's not Malfoy the amazing bouncing ferret " he finished with a pinched look on his face.

"I still wonder whatever happened to Malfoy. He just disappeared after the war!" said Hermione.

Harry clearly remembered the panic and confusion on the Malfoy's face after nobody could find their son, it was like he just disappeared off the face of the earth. Harry was sure Draco Malfoy wasn't dead. Harry still had the blonde's wand, if anything had happened to him, he would surely have felt it.

"Well whatever happened to him, I wish would happen to the rest of the Malfoys as well" mumbled Ron as he started eating.

Harry wasn't sure how he felt about that statement. After the war the Malfoys had been model citizens. Lucius helped rebuild the ministry with donations and his connections, whereas Narcissa Malfoy helped so many charities and even helping Harry with his own war orphan foundation that Harry had grown immense respect for the Malfoys.

"I mean Harry even if you are into dating blokes, why can't you date a Gryffindor or a Ravenclaw? Even some Hufflepuff is better than a Slytherin," Ron said.

Harry didn't know how to tactfully tell his friend to stop being such an obnoxious idiot so he left it to Hermione and as if on cue she started berating Ron for being so juvenile.

When Blaise had first asked Harry out, Harry had thought it was a joke, and laughed it off, the second time Harry was stunned when he realised Blaise was genuinely asking him to dinner and Harry thought it was a Slytherin plot so he politely refused. The third time, however, he couldn't think of a single reason to say no and had finally agreed to go to a dinner.

The dinner date in question had been very well thought of and Harry was surprised as to how much he enjoyed himself and the second, third dinner date had led into a weird, off-on relationship.

When Hermione started to ask questions about his job Harry was grateful for the change of topic and the rest of the evening went smoothly without any more talk of any Slytherins.
