Chapter Ten
Draco slowly opened his eyes. For the first time in his life he had a good sleep. He felt peaceful, happy even. His mind wondered back to the last night event. Draco could still feel the softness of Harry's lips and… 'Okay, I have to stop now or I'll really need cold shower.'
Draco stretched his body, and then he lay still for a minute. He concentrated on his hearing, waited for his sons to come and wake him up. It was almost like a tradition for him to try to sleep in on Saturdays and his sons to brutally wake him. Draco smiled; today he wouldn't wait for his sons since he himself was eager to start the day.
Draco doing his morning ritual automatically while his mind wandered back to Harry. It was surprising that he didn't cut himself while shaving. He decided to wear more casual clothes. He didn't want Harry to think that he was a serious, workaholic, strict father, thought he didn't want to admit that he was a rather conservative man.
Draco was hoping to find that his sons dressed, what he didn't expect was the sad pouting looks on their faces.
"Something's wrong?"
Alex glared at the amused butler standing behind him. "Tony said today is Saturday.
"What's wrong with today being Saturday?" Draco frowned; sometimes he really didn't understand how his sons' minds worked.
"Daddy," Andy pouted. "You said we're not going to Harry's place on Saturdays.
"I did?" Draco smiled. "Ah, yes, I did."
"Daddy…" Andy asked sadly, "Why Harry doesn't want to stay with us?"
"Hmm?" 'Now, I want to know that answer too.'
"Tony told us that … Potter left last night."
Draco gave his servant a look, which as returned by apology nod. Draco looked back at his sons. "He has to make some muffins. Sirius invited us to have breakfast there, remember?"
"So, we're going to Harry's place?" The twins' faces lit up.
"Of course, unless you don't what that breakfast."
Alex hurriedly stood up, his toys left forgotten. "But Daddy, I'm hungry."
"Me too." Andy was only a step behind his brother. "I'm really, really, really hungry."
"Really?" Draco frowned while he tried to hide his smile. "Maybe you'll have breakfast first before we leave."
"No way." Andy and Alex answered in unison.
Draco nodded. "Very well, if you two are ready, we're leaving now." He told his servant. "We're might not be back for lunch, but we might have a guest for dinner."
Anthony bowed a little. "I'll make sure that everything is well prepared, Sir."
Draco nodded, he then hurriedly after his impatient sons.
The Malfoys arrived only to find the coffee shop on an unusual state. Maybe it was how it was on Saturdays but the guests were complaining loudly over their ordered coffee and breakfast that yet to be delivered.
"Daddy…" Andy pulled his father's trousers to catch his attention. "Up, I can't see Harry."
Draco chuckled as he lifted his son. "Let's find an empty seat."
There wasn't any empty seat, but looked like the twins had their usual seats reserved.
Alex ran to Sirius. "Sirius…"
"Ah, you're coming." Sirius grinned despite the glares he got from his displeased customers. "Go to your seat, I'll be back soon."
"Where's … Potter?"
"Yeah, where's Harry?" Sirius grumbled. "He should be back soon. He said he needed to buy something."
"Oh." Alex brokenheartedly returned to his father and brother.
Neville shook his head. "They really love Harry, right?"
"You could say so." Sirius shrugged his shoulder. He busily poured the coffee in to cups and magically sent them.
"Hey," one of the old customers shouted. "Where is Harry? I prefer the friendly and kind service here."
"You wanted it fast, you'll have it my way." Sirius grumbled.
This morning when Neville came, Sirius happily employed him. He was glad that he didn't need to make that ad. Moreover, Neville had attended to the same medi-school with Harry so if Harry was okay with him, he wouldn't question his judgment.
Since he decided to teach Neville how to run his shop and what was expected from him, Sirius let Harry to run his errands, which now left him with many orders and unsatisfied customers. Neville, still hadn't caught the art of coffee making, could only help him delivered the breakfast and sent him sorry look when some customers yelled at him.
"I shouldn't let him leave." Sirius still grumbled when he filled Draco's cup. "Ah, I see that Neville had brought you your breakfast." Sirius smiled at the twins. "Go on, why don't you eat? Harry made them specially for you two."
Alex and Andy looked at the muffins in front of them. On top of the muffins were strawberry and chocolate sauces that forming a smiling face.
"Sirius?"
"Yes?" Sirius wasn't sure what to do since he didn't know which one was who and Harry wasn't here to help him.
"Why Harry's not here?" The little boy was close to tears now.
Sirius smiled confidently. "You see Andy, he'll be back very soon."
"But why didn't he take me and Alex?" Andy frowned. "Is he taking care of other little boys?"
Sirius put down the coffee pot and leaned over between the twins. "Of course not. You two are his favourite little boys." He looked from one boy to another, getting the same doubtful stares. "And you are my favourite little boys too, I won't let him go and be other boy's nanny."
"Thank you, Sirius." Alex hugged the 'nice guy'. From that moment on Sirius had been in his list of favourite person.
Sirius returned the hug and turned to Andy. "This is a secret, okay, but Harry's out to buy you guys something."
"Really?" Andy's eyes sparkled.
"Really." Sirius nodded. "He'll be back soon and he'd be very sad if you don't like the muffins." Sirius sighed dramatically. He nodded in satisfied when the twins started to eat their breakfast. He stood up and about to leave when his ears caught Draco's quiet words.
"Thank you."
"Well, that's the least I could do for Harry's friend." Sirius emphasized the last word and gave Draco a look; he was still a bit irritated with last night interruption. "Whatever happened last night, I hope you'll treat Harry good."
"Daddy's good." Alex said.
"Yeah," Andy smiled, "Beside, we all love Harry."
Sirius grinned; he swore he caught the faint blush on Draco's face. He wanted to comment on it but the ringing bell had caught his attention. "Well, look who's finally decided to show up." Sirius smiled and went back to the counter, intended to teach Neville again.
The twins fidgeted impatiently when Harry stopped to talk to Neville. Andy then decided to go to Harry and announced his present, just in case Harry forgot. He carefully slipped down from his seat and ran to Harry.
Harry felt like smiling to everyone. He wanted to talk to everybody and shared his happiness. He wasn't sure why he felt very happy, he just was. He felt like he could do everything and didn't care about the consequences. So when Sirius said it was okay to leave since Neville was there to help him, Harry decided to leave. And when he walked in front of the salon, he just followed his impulse and had his hair cut. That was why he left longer than his initial plan.
When he returned to Sirius' place, he went to ask Neville how things were going, and if he needed help.
Neville had just assured him that things were under control and convinced him to just go see his guests when Harry felt a pair of small hands hugging his feet.
Harry looked down and frowned when the little boy wouldn't look up at him. He gently reached the kid and carried him. "Hello."
Andy pouted. "Where have you been, Harry. Why you're not here when we came."
Harry smiled. "I bought you and Alex something." He showed him the package.
"What is that?" Andy started to smile.
"Milkshakes." Harry grinned. He waved at Neville and his godfather and walked to the Malfoys.
"You could take me and Alex." Andy returned to his pouting mode.
Harry chuckled. "I thought you would like to have some with your breakfast. But if you don't like it, I'll give it to your Daddy."
Andy shook his head. "Thank you, Harry." He kissed the man's cheek.
Harry smiled and put the shopping bag first before he put the little boy on to his seat. Harry kissed Andy's head and turned to Alex to hug him. "Hello, Alex."
"Hello." Alex smiled.
"I got you and Andy milkshakes."
"Thank you."
Feeling eyes on him, Harry looked up and blushed deeply. "What you doing here, Malfoy?"
"Is that how you greet a friend?" Draco lifted his eyebrow.
Harry blushed harder as last night's event come back to him. "Hello, Draco."
"Aren't you going to kiss Daddy?" Alex inquired.
"Well, your Daddy is too big for a kiss." Harry avoided Draco's eyes.
"Oh, but I'd like to have a kiss, Harry." Draco smiled.
Harry could feel three pair of grey eyes watching hopefully at him, and he still had the free, daring feeling so he bent forward to Draco and kissed him.
Harry only wanted to kiss Draco's cheek but Draco decided to turn his face just at the right moment and had Harry kissed his lips instead.
Draco grinned happily. "Nice hair, Harry."
"Aaa, Harry, you cut your hair." Andy reached for Harry's hair, tied loosely in black band. "I like your hair, why did you cut it?"
"Do you don't like it now?" Harry touched his now shorter hair. It was long enough for a ponytail but short enough to erase the childish or feminine image.
"Hmm." Andy tilted his head. "I still like it."
"I want you to cut my hair." Alex told him.
"Thank you, that's so sweet." Harry laughed.
"I want you too, Harry." Andy stood on his seat, "I want you too."
Harry quickly caught the little boy. "Sure, when you need a hair cut. Now, would you sit? I don't want you to fall."
"Okay." Andy pouted; he didn't like it when Harry scolded him. He wanted to be a good boy, so that Harry would love him always.
Draco just watched the scene with silent smile. He was grateful to have Harry in their lives now, since he made not only his sons but him too happy.
Blaise watched the scene with angry, jealous eyes. It was true that he wanted Harry to be happy, but the true was he was used to have Harry smiled only at him, even though it was a brotherly smile. He was used to have Sirius as his only rival for Harry's attention, but now he got three, and he knew that he couldn't win. His anger got it redemption when his eyes caught the man that made his Potions classes miserable.
"What are you doing here, Longbottom?"
Neville was surprised when someone greeted him with such unfriendly, cold voice, but what surprised him more was the owner of that voice. So surprised that he almost dropped the glass.
Blaise didn't know why it angered him to see the nervousness and the clumsiness of the ex-Gryffindor. After being partnered in Potions for most of their seventh year, he should get used to it, but he wasn't. The blush on the other man's face, and something akin to fear that he read in his eyes angered him even more.
"Working for me?" Sirius decided to save the poor lad.
"Are you sure?" Blaise narrowed his eyes. "He'll be bad for your business."
Sirius stifled his laughter. "How's that so?"
Neville blushed; he didn't dare to look at the Slytherin. "Maybe he was right, Sirius, I…"
"Nonsense." Sirius poured some coffee. "Don't listen to him." He gave the coffee to Blaise. "Go harass someone else."
Blaise silently accepted the coffee and go to Harry's table. He pulled the nearest empty seat, ignored the anger looks sent by his two little rivals, and contently sipping his coffe.
"Why the bad mood?" Harry asked his now ex boyfriend.
"Nothing." Blaised reached for the muffin and casually ate it.
"Hey," Alex glared. "That's mine."
"And now it's mine." Blaise smirked as he took another big bite.
Draco watched with amusement while Harry just shook his head.
"What is he doing here?" Blaise asked.
"You mean Neville?" Draco asked innocently.
"Since when you're in first name basis?" Blaise glared.
"Jealous?" Draco smirked.
"Jealous my a…" Blaise silenced when he caught Harry's warning look. He coughed and decided to glare at his long time friend. When he reached for his second muffin, the twins were faster to take their plates, away from the unwelcome hands.
When Harry laughed, Blaise, even at his anger moment, wasn't immune to him, and he started to smile. "It's not funny Harry."
"It is." Harry smiled. "I know you don't like him, but he's changed. He won't spilled any potion on you anymore."
"Yeah," Draco nodded. "Just coffee.
"You didn't say anything mean to him, did you?" Harry asked his friend.
"Something like that." Blaise mumbled.
"You did?"
"Now that you mention it, I think I unintentionally did it."
"Blaise Zabini, you better go apologized to him. You wouldn't want Sirius to get angry at you for making his only worker quit at his first day working."
"Should I?" Blaise frowned.
"You wouldn't want Sirius to ban you."
"He wouldn't."
"Just do it, Blaise, or better ask him out for lunch. I heard that Nevile only work half day today."
Blaise sighed, finished his coffee and walked back to the counter. He glared at the man that he was supposed to apologize to. "I'm sorry for what I say, I hope you'll have lunch with me as an apology.
Neville was shocked; this time he really did drop the glass. "It… It's no…not necessary."
"Did Harry make you do that?" Sirius grinned proudly.
"But I can't… I…" Neville looked at his new boss, his expression was close to horrified. "I'm busy, I have to resign from my last job and finished the administration… you know, get my pay check and… and…"
Blaise really hated when people was blabbering, mostly when they made a mistake or want to get something from him. This was the first time someone tried so hard to turn him down. The fact that Neville Longbottom was turning down his offer was so absurd, and he had to admit that it hurt his pride. 'It's not that I want to go out with him.'
"Are you afraid of him?" Sirius was amused.
"Of course not." Neville denied indignantly.
"Good. I'll pick you up at 12. You can finish whatever your business is after lunch." After that he was gone.
"Errgh…" Neville glared at the back of Blaise' head. "He was so arrogant."
"Most Slytherins are." Sirius chuckled. "But you'll learn to ignore it and have them your way."
"I'm not interested in arrogant men." Neville blushed; he quickly went to clean the mess he made.
Sirius just chuckled. Life was interested because it gave you what you least expected, and then it turned out to be the reason you wake up every morning. That was what he learnt from his experience.
"That was interested." Draco smirked. "I always know he had the temper."
"No one can say no to him." Harry smiled lightly.
"You did, didn't you?" Draco looked at him intensely.
"You'll never be sure, won't you?" Harry smirked.
"Harry…" Andy pulled Harry's sleeve. "We're finished."
"So, what do you want to do today?"
"Go to uncle Severus'." Alex smiled; he showed his Daddy the muffin left.
"Uncle Severus also like muffin. I want to give him one."
"Sure." Draco smiled. "Are you coming, Harry?"
"Say yes, Harry," Andy pleaded, "Pleaseeeeeeeee."
Harry sighed. "Only if Sirius let me."
Ten minutes later, Harry was standing in front of the irate Potions Professor. To him, Severus Snape was always the grumpy professor. He didn't even know the reason for this unfriendly welcome that he was sure didn't do anything to deserve it.
"For you, uncle Severus." Alex gave him the brown packages.
"What is that?"
"Muffins." Andy smiled happily. "When we said that you like muffin too, Sirius gave us more. He is so nice."
"Thank you." Severus forced the smiled.
Harry was surprised that Sirius let him come to Severus' place. When Sirius gave the extra muffins, he really thought that his godfather was out of his mind. But Sirius was a nice man.
Andy reached for Harry's hand. Just like at their house, he and his brother gave Harry the tour around, ignoring Severus' glare.
"Yeah, yeah, welcome." Severus snidely said. "Make yourself home."
Harry didn't have the time to think of a decent comeback. It wasn't like he wanted to come at the first place.
"… Potter," Alex impatiently pulled him to a small playing area with children potions equipment stacked neatly. "We make our potions here."
"We?" Harry frowned.
"Me and Alex." Andy smiled proudly.
"How do you make your potions?"
"Just put what we want." Alex grinned. "And then the colour will change. It's fun, the colour never the same, thought it sometimes smelt badly." Alex scrunched his nose.
"Can you read? Don't you have to follow instruction?" Harry couldn't believe it.
Andy shook his head. "We just put what we want. It's really fun, don't you want to play with us?"
Harry nodded. "Why don't you two play, I need to talk to your Daddy first."
"You don't want to play with us?" Alex asked disappointedly.
"Just a minute." Harry smiled assuringly. "Just don't put all in, leave some for me."
"Okay." The twins chorused happily.
Harry made sure that the twins didn't hear him when he talked to Draco.
"Something's wrong?" Draco didn't expect the bother look on Harry's face.
"How could you let them play with potions? You know how dangerous it is." Harry hissed. "They could get hurt."
"First time I heard something intelligent from you." Severus ignored the glares.
"That's rich, Professor." Harry narrowed his eyes, "And you usually not that ruthless, how could you allow them playing with potions."
"Relax, Harry." Draco stirred Harry to the sofa and gently pushed him to sit. "We had made sure that the potions are not dangerous, no matter how you mix it. Besides, there's no fire, it's thoroughly harmless."
Right after Draco finished his words, as if to prove Harry was right, there was a loud boom coming from the twins' direction. The three men raced to the boys.
Severus, being the closest to them, arrived first. He quickly pulled out his wand and cleared the smoke. Harry quickly hunkered down and pulled one of the twins, checking if he was alright, while Draco checked his other son.
"Harry…" Andy wriggled out of his Daddy and hugged his nanny. "I'm sorry… I didn't mean it."
"We want to leave some for you but it go… boom." Alex explained. "It never happen before, right Andy."
Andy nodded his head, there were unshed tears in his eyes.
"Are you alright? Nothing's hurt?" Harry ran a quick check on the twins.
Seeing that the twins were alright, Harry studied the twins critically. The smoke left black stains on two little faces. Harry shook his head. "That's it, we're going home. You two need a good, long bath. And from now on, no more potions for you two, not until you can read."
Severus lifted an eyebrow at Draco but Draco only shrugged his shoulder. "Lets go home."
But Harry should have known better that the moment he set foot on the Malfoy's, Andy and Alex, plus Draco wouldn't so easily to let him go home.
With Harry came to their house, the twins vehemently refused to take a nap. They spent the time watching movies six hours non-stop, stopping only when Harry insisted them to have lunch and dinner.
After dinner, Harry also read stories for two hours, still the twins, more like Andy since Alex had fallen asleep, refused to let him leave.
"Stay with us, Harry," Andy spoke through half lidded eyes, "We can have breakfast together."
"But Sirius was alone right now, and I feel bad for leaving him all day." Harry smiled.
"Will you come again, tomorrow?"
"Sure," Harry kissed his forehead. "If you want me to."
"I want you to stay with us forever."
Harry didn't know how to respond to that, but Andy was asleep after his last words, so response wasn't necessary right now, he just hoped that Draco didn't hear it.
"So, do you really have to leave?" Draco asked him when they were back to his study room. "I want you to stay with us forever too."
Harry blushed. "I really think I should leave."
"I understand." Draco nodded. "Lucky Sirius to have you to accompany him."
"Good night, Draco."
"Are you coming tomorrow, or you want us to pick you again."
Harry rolled his eyes. "I'll come after lunch."
"Alex and Andy wouldn't be happy about it." Draco smiled.
"Then you can come for breakfast." Harry smiled before he disappeared through the floo.
"Are you alright?" Severus frowned when Sirius sneezed again.
"Must be Harry calling me." Sirius frowned. "Maybe I should go home.
"Please." Severus tightened his hugged on his lover. "You can pretend that you've asleep and didn't hear him."
"I can't do that." Sirius frowned. "He might think that I'm sick or unconscious, and he'll be worried."
Severus was still annoyed that Harry and Draco had left him to clean the mess. "He as old enough to go to sleep without saying good night. Does he need you to tuck him in?"
"Not funny." Sirius yawned. "Next time you should come and stay instead."
"I'm still the head of Slytherin house, I can't leave my quarter all the time."
"Maybe you should ask Remus to take care of your detentions." Sirius grinned.
"And when they need me for Slytherin's affair?"
"Remus knew where to find you." Sirius still wore the grinning face.
"Maybe you should just tell your godson and stop worrying about it." Severus growled. "And let's just sleep now."
Sirius pouted. "Maybe I will." He laughed after he thought of what might have been Harry's reaction. "He might want to put me into St. Mungo then. That's after he had a through check on my head."
Severus chuckled softly. "And then, I'll bring you out and keep you here."
Sirius just smiled. 'That's a nice thought.'
