"I miss you so much, would you believe that our sons have followed in our footsteps..." Lucius gave a small laugh before continuing. "I assume they are dating because Draco said he was bringing Harry home with him for the holidays... God James, I wish you were here to see this, I really do," and with that he let his tears fall onto the grave of James Potter. He stood and walked away, it hurt but he had to, when he was there it made him feel like James was still with him.

"Harry are you ready?" Draco asked as he straightened his shirt.
"Yep," Harry said as he walked from the bathroom. He was wearing black trousers and an emerald shirt to match his eyes.
"You look wonderful," Draco smiled.
"All thanks to you," Harry said before kissing Draco.
"Ok, let's go," the blonde haired boy said excitedly.

Lucius walked from the house and into the garden, he'd come to love the outdoors ever since Narcissa left.
Maybe some flowers to colour the place a bit? He thought. He bent down to pull a bunch of bright flowers that he'd never seen before when he heard footsteps. He stood but never got a chance to turn around; someone had wrapped their arms around him and squeezing. After a minute of struggling he was let go and he spun on his heels to see who had grabbed him. He gasped and stumbled backwards.
"Stay away..." he said as he pulled out his wand. "I will find out who you are... I don't tolerate jokes like this..." he said as he stepped back more.
"Lucius this isn't a joke... Expelliarmus"
Lucius' wand flew from his hand. He wanted to go and retrieve it but that would mean breaking eye contact with this, this... He didn't have a word for it, and breaking eye contact would give them time to do anything. After several minutes of staring Lucius' face became saddened and he gave in to his heart's constant pulling. He stepped forward slowly until he was just inches away from the other person.
"James..." he whispered.
"Yes..." James answered. Lucius moved his hand to ghost over James' face, he was defiantly real. A tear fell from Lucius' eye and James' hand was quick to move up and wipe it away.
"I was down at your grave not an hour ago..." Lucius said.
"A ghost came to me and told me that I had to come back to Earth, Lilly couldn't though, she told me to go... I didn't know what this was about until I got to the head honcho, he told me people needed me here more than what my wife did... Obviously the first person that I thought of was Harry, but when they told me he was cared for and he was fine I got to thinking and when they landed me in front of the Manor I remembered... Not that I had actually forgotten," James just stared dumfounded for a second before he sprung to life and wrapped his arms around James.
"God I missed you so much," he said.
"I missed you too," James said before pulling Lucius back then kissing him, something they had both had wanted for a long time.

"How much longer?" Harry asked.
"Not long about half an hour," Draco smiled.
"Why couldn't we just use Floo powder?' Harry said.
"Because I like the scenery," Draco told him.
"And we had to use horse and cart why?" Harry asked. The questions were getting on Draco's nerves but none the less he answered them.
"Because I like it, it's quiet and it just fits the scenery," Draco huffed.
"Brooms would be faster... or even Floo powder," Harry whined. Draco shook his head and covered Harry's mouth with his own.
"I said it's quiet," Draco said when he'd pulled away. Harry gave him a small smile before looking out the opposite window; he thought he'd better stop the questions for a while.
Another massive thank you goes out to McGeesababe13 for the awesome, totally mind boggling idea that Harry's dad came back. totally amazing ideas!
