Recap: Severus' POV: The two of them spent the next hour trying to one up the other while putting the other down. Ir was highly amusing for both me and Scorpius. I also think the two of them were having fun with it. Draco's main weapon was Harry in potions and Harry's was Draco and quidditch.

The bell rang and I went to answer the door. Andromeda and Granger were standing there with all the children. I ushered them inside closing the door behind them. They walked to the guest room. Granger said, "Harry, not to alarm you but Draco Malfoy is sitting on your bed laughing." Oh right she didn't know of their current frienamy status. More fun for me. Now then where is popcorn when you need it.

Harry's POV:

Oh, why did I not see this coming? I had an urge to bang my head against the wall. "Hey 'Mione. You obviously remember Draco?"

"Kids, maybe we should let the adults talk. Who wants to help me bake cookies?" Andromeda said and the children enthusiastically followed her out of the room.

"Yes, the boy who made our lives about ten time more complicated than in school." She said with a hint of bitter sarcasm.

"The very same." I laughed nervously. "Well, you see... I might have... I kinda..."

"Oh for the love of God Potter. He invited my son and I over for some muggle holiday known as Thanksgiving because his kids wanted Severus over for dinner. It happened to fall on my son's birthday, so Potter wanting Sev there so badly decided that he could put up with me. We realized we could get along decently and now were friendly enemies."

I shifted in my bed nervously. "Yea what he said." I was just waiting for the explosion.

"Oh, well I'm sure he can't be that bad if you can put up with him. Just don't tell Ron. I don't think he'd take it that well." I let out an audible sigh of relief, I need to remember Hermione is the sensible one in the 'Mione and Ron relationship.

"Well Sev and I are going to the lab to talk about why I actually came here. Sev?" Malfoy has gotten more perceptive.

"Ah yes the nightshade. Come along then Draco." How does he do that, make it seem as if it was his suggestion the entire time? It must be a gift I suppose.

"So what's up 'Mione?"

"Don't you 'What's up 'Mione' me! You haven't sent me a letter in two weeks you did not think to MENTION, the Severus BlOODY Snape was alive? And that your apparently all buddy buddy with Draco FLIPPING Malfoy? Where do you find these people? Is being in the weirdest situation a TALENT or do you just go LOOKING for it?"

I rubbed the back of my head sheepishly. "It's a talent?" She sent a glare at me, if looks could kill...

"HARRY JAMES POTTER, why did I receive no warning that you were friends with Snape. Or better yet, when were you going to tell me you in LOVE with him?"

"I'm not in love with Severus." Crap, calling him Severus really does not help my argument. Stupid. Yea well no one asked you your opinion. It's our opinion considering we're the same person. Oh dear lord, it's official, I've gone mad!

"What was you first clue? That your getting along with Snape and Malfoy with out even realizing it or that you had an entire conversation with yourself just now?"

"Oh, you mean I said that out loud?"

She let out and exasperated sigh. "Look, Harry, I love you. I will always be there for you and if Snape makes you happy then so be it. What I really want to know is why you didn't trust me with this information?"

I thought about it. Do I tell her the truth? Ah what the heck it won't kill anyone. Well no one but me that is... "Well, after Ginny, I was scared to love someone again. And I know you would approve of me even being friends with him, and now more and more often I can see the two of us together. I don't know if I want to move on, because if I do I'm scared I'm going to fall. And maybe next time you guys won't be there to catch me and you'll just say I told you so because of who I'm dating. I've just been afraid this entire time to admit it to myself. You always make me spill my heart out to you 'Mione. I don't know how you do it."

She smiled softly. "Hey, Harry I love you and no matter who you date, I'll still love you. I won't ever let you hit the ground. Ron'll be there too after a talk a little sense in to him."

I smile, he's totally whipped. "Thanks 'Mione. Love you too.

Severus' POV:

"So why was it necessary to make up this whole potions ingredient business? We could have just walked out of the room."

"Well I needed to talk to you and what better time to do it than the present." A logical argument, but the question now is why does he need to speak to me?

"Well, talk." I said shortly.

"Sev, what are your feelings for Potter."

"Really Draco, do we have to do this now?"

"Yes, because if you don't want him, I'll take him. He's really become quite good looking since Hogwarts."

I felt a little defensive, Potter's mine, but I didn't say that. "Oh, well then why don't you give it a shot, hmm?"

"Because he's down right in love you and your just too blind to see that."

"Okay so I find Potter attractive. His kids are adorable and sweet. He's exactly my type of guy, but bloody hell Draco I'm 20 years older than him. Would you want to date a fifty year old?"

"Oh Sev everyone know wizards age slower than muggles Harry and I still look about 25 and you don't look much older than 40. Harry likes you, and I will admit your a good looking man. If only we could do something about that nose, life for you would be great."

Of course he has to bring up my god damned bloody nose. "My nose is fine the way it is Draco."

"Yea okay sure." Not being sincere at all. "Harry doesn't seem to mind so it shouldn't be a problem. Sev you deserve to be happy and I really think Potter will make you happy."

"Yes, whatever." I swooped out of the room, my cloak billowing behind me, I still got it.

Andromeda's POV:

Geez I wish those two would stop dancing around each other. I hope Hermione and Draco can talk some sense into them. All five of the kids are trying to make cookies.

"No you guys are cracking the eggs all wrong." Lily tells them.

"NO we're not." Scorpius and Albus say together. They're the one cracking the eggs.

"Yes you are look at how many shells are in the bowl." She took an egg and cracked it. "Perfect."

"Okay Ted what comes next?" Teddy was doing the reading from the cook book.

"We need flour. Lily go get the flour." She walked over and grabbed the bag of flour.

"Okay I got it-" She dropped it and a giant cloud of flour poofed out of the bag. "Ah." She was covered in flour. Oh dear. The boys started laughing. "It's not funny." She picked up the bag of flour and threw it on the table getting all the boys covered.

"Oh you know what that means don't you?" Al asked.

"WAR!" They all screamed. They were throwing flour, sugar and chocolate chips at each other. Laughing hysterically. Now then, how should I explain this to Severus?

Short and late, I know, but I was running low on inspiration. Then I was talking to my friend about something (it had nothing to do with fanfiction) he gave me an idea and then I wrote this. Sorry it short, but again Merry Christmas.
