Ok here's chapter 12! Enjoy!


Chapter 12: The date-I mean 'Get Together'

"DADDY HAS A CRUSH!" It was the only thing the twins would sing as they skipped around the house, breaking things as they went. Isabella and Sirius were laughing their heads off as Harry glared at them angrily.

"It's not a date!" Harry fumed. The twins stoped in front of Isabella and Sirius.

"Daddy has a crush-"Hope grinned.

"On Mr Draco-"Truth giggled.

"And they're going-"

"To have dinner-"

"TONIGHT!" They both yelled. Sirius and Isabella laughed harder and the twins giggled.

"OK, that's it!" Harry stormed off towards his room. The four didn't seem to care as Truth and Hope did a weird dance that looked like tap and ballet combined and sung…

"Daddy and Mr Draco sitting in a tree k-r-c-s-i-g-b, first comes the date, something then comes us!" The two grinned at their failed attempt of the song.

"We'll work on the song." Sirius laughed. Isabella chuckled.


Blaize sighed as Draco paced his living room, he was there for two reasons, one he needed to escape Pansy and her pink flowers, and he needed to rant to someone about his predicament.

"If you're stressing so much why don't you cancel?" Blaize asked, flipping through one of his many law books.

"No way! I've been waiting for five years!" Draco flopped down on the couch next to Blaize. "I wonna know why he left, if it was something I did?"

"Good question…" Blaize muttered. Maybe Draco had an idea…


Harry glanced nervously at his watch, he had half an hour. He quickly looked up as the snitch zoomed past his left ear the tips of his wings tickled the sensitive skin. In one fluid movement Harry's hand shot out and snatched the golden ball from the sky.

"WELL DONE POTTER!" Harry's captain shouted up. Harry grinned and landed on the ground. "Well that's all for today, hit the showers." Harry shouldered his broom and headed to the locker rooms, he felt more nervous on the ground and his warm shower did little to calm him. When he got home he found the twins were watching TV, Harry had ordered one to be in his room, with Sirius. They were, Harry noted by the theme song, watching Yu-Gi-Oh-1-and trying to explain the story line to a clueless Sirius.

"But how the hell do two spirits share a body!" Sirius shouted in frustration. Isabella hit him over the head. The twins then went into a long lecture of the show while Harry headed to his room to get ready. Harry pulled out his favourite shirt and pants. After getting changed and trying, and failing, to comb his hair he went back into the kitchen were Isabella was making dinner and the twins were still trying to explain Yu-Gi-Oh to a dumbfounded Sirius.

"Are you ready?" Isabella asked quietly.

"Ready as I will ever be."

"Are you going to tell him?"

Harry sighed. "We'll see…"

"Daddy!" Harry looked down at the Hope and Truth who were smiling oh-so-innocently at their father.

"What did you two do?"

"NOTHING!" They both pouted, "We were wondering can we have a puppy?" Hope asked, they used their baby eyes and Harry faulted.

"Why? We already have Hawk and Hedwig." The girls scrolled at the mention of the two owls. Hedwig was usually always sleeping and was rather snappish in her old age while Hawk, Isabella's owl, was sharp and hated children.

"We want a puppy!" Truth whined.

"I'll think about it." Harry promised, in other words 'no'.

"YAY!" Harry looked up at the clock hanging on the pastel walls.

"I have to go, I'll be back later." He hugged Hope and Truth, reminding them to go bed, and left the pent house. He arrived at Malfoy Manor by apparition. He tugged at his black shirt before walking up the path to the large black oak doors with golden serpent knockers. His knocks echoed down the gloomily lite corridors reaching a nervous Draco. He jumped up and made his way down the twists and turns that led him the front entrance. He took a deep calming breath before opening the door to come face-to-face with a nervous Harry.

"Hi." Draco coughed to cover his high pitched voice.

"Hi…" Harry avoided Draco's eyes; they stood for a moment in awkward silence before Draco remembered to be the 'Host' and beckoned Harry into the Manor. He invited Harry into the grand dinning room. "I almost forgot how beautiful this place was." Harry muttered, staring up at the doom ceiling that rose into darkness.

"It's been what? Six years since you've been in here?" Draco asked, he watched Harry's face as he stared at the smooth grey stone that seemed to glitter in the half light of the candles.

"About that." Harry looked into Draco's silver-grey eyes. Time seemed to freeze as silver-grey meet emerald green; the past didn't seem to matter as they stared at the eyes of their beloveds. Harry was rudely bough to reality at the stench of thick, heavy smoke. "Is something burning?" Harry asked, wrinkling his nose at the suffocating smoke.

"OH SHIT!" Draco ran out a side door that led to the basement-kitchen. Harry followed, covering his eyes as the smoke stung them and left unshed tears. Draco had rushed through the smoke and pulled his wand out, vanishing the smoke and fire and pulled out a burnt chicken. Harry came up behind the blonde and snorted at the crisply burnt would-be chicken.

"I take it we'll be going out for dinner." Harry grinned. Draco glared at the chicken. "Why didn't you get one of your house-elves to do it?" Harry asked.

"I wanted to try cooking, I figured if muggles could do it so could I." He threw the chicken in the bin. "But now I'm regretting the whole cooking thing. So were to?"

"I don't know, I haven't been here in years, you pick somewhere."

"I know a decent restaurant."

"Lead the way." Harry smiled.

The restaurant was on the rich side of Wizard London; it was expensively decorated and had privet booths and tables. Harry and Draco took a table near the bar and ordered drinks. They talked about their lives after Harry left to Australia. Draco told Harry about the horror of being with Pansy and how the wedding was forced on him. Harry told him about raising the twins and changing lives.

"So who is worse? Truth or Hope?" Draco asked, taking his dinner from the waiter.

"Well Hope has this thing were she can manipulate anyone into doing or saying whatever she wants and Truth is the trouble maker who always leads them into mischief. It's hard to choose who's worse." Harry smiled. "But they are cute." They spent the rest of the evening talking about school and their childish arguments they shared. When seven rolled around they decided to call it a night and walked back to the Hotel. "I had fun." Harry smiled.

"I did too, although the dinner wasn't exactly what I planned." Draco half-smirked-half-smiled.

"Maybe next time." Harry laughed. For the second time that evening their eyes locked, the world stopped and the past left them. They lent forwards….

"SHIT!" They jumped apart and looked widely around to find Sirius sprawled out on the floor with the twins looking down at him giggling.

"Sirius! Hope! Truth! What are you three doing?" Harry asked placing his hands on his hips and looking down at them crossly, the look didn't affect the twins who smiled innocently and skipped over to Draco, giving him a small hug.

"Hi, Mr Draco!" They chorused, smiling brightly.

Draco chuckled. "Hello girls, terrorizing Sirius again?"

"Of course not!" Hope ginned.

"I think its time you two went to bed." Harry hinted. The girls smiled.

"Ok, bye-bye Mr Draco, nigh-night Daddy!" They climbed over Sirius and ran off.

"Sorry about that." Harry rubbed the back of his neck as Sirius climbed off the floor and slowly made his way to bed, rubbing his sore back.

"It's ok." Draco smiled. "I'll see you later." Harry nodded and Draco apparated after giving a small-mock-bow. Harry blushed lightly, smiling giddily before going inside.
