Harry decided to walk home from training today he couldn't help but smile at the unseasonably late snow that blanketed London. Valentines Day. Harry sighed just thinking about them two words; a sure sign of a smitten man. He had woken up extra early to make Draco breakfast in bed, which was quite a feat considering how early the blonde usually woke up, complete with a single red rose on the tray. Harry had laughed when he'd returned to their bed when he found the man sat up waiting patiently and thirteen red roses on his own cushion. Unfortunately for Harry he'd had to leave for St Mungos soon after but had promised to bring back a pizza per Draco's request. So here he was walking down their street pizza in hand, snow under foot, and a happy smile on his face.

"Draco, I have the Pizza." He called once he'd shut and locked their front door.

"Up here." Harry shed his coat hanging it up neatly with his scarf and gloves and walked up the stairs a little curious to find out what Draco was doing in the baby's room as that was where it sounded like he was. The first room on the right at the top of the stairs was going to be their son's room but it didn't look like it did that morning. The floor was covered with plastic sheets and all the boxes of furniture had been removed there were a handful of candles floating around and a CD player in one corner next to numerous tubs of paint. Draco stood in the middle of the room holding a bottle of wine and two glasses. "I know decorating isn't the most romantic thing to do on Valentines but I thought it would be special." Harry smiled at Draco's nervousness. He conjured a small table which he placed the Pizza on before walking over to the blonde.

"I couldn't think of anything I'd rather do than decorate our child's room with you." Draco's nerves where immediately soothed. Leaning forwards he placed a small kiss on Harry's lips.

"Happy Valentines Day." They stopped like that for a while before Harry excused himself to change out of his training robes and into something a little more comfortable. They had decided on a dark turquoise blue for the walls as all the furniture was a dark wood. Harry decided to hand paint while Draco declared he was going to use his wand to paint the ceiling. They painted contently for a while drinking wine and listening to the new Weird Sister's album that Draco had purchased earlier that day until the blonde cleared his throat. When Harry turned around he realised the ceiling was finished. Harry couldn't help himself and gasped. The ceilings base colour was and inky blue and it was filled with twinkling stars which to Harry's surprise were actually twinkling. Now he realised why Draco had insisted on using magic... this was something that would have taken weeks by hand.

"It's accurate." Draco told him as Harry walked over still staring at the ceiling. He put his arms around Draco finally looking down and kissing his forehead.

"I'm sure it is. Draco this is absolutely beautiful." Harry took Draco's hand and led him off to the side of the room. "I think we should put the crib right here."

"Why?" Harry smiled again and pointed directly above them.

"This constellations 'Draco' is it not?" The blonde smiled a little surprised that Harry had known it. "I did take astrology too you know."

"I didn't realise you paid that much attention." Harry let himself be kissed. "The rooms going to be beautiful when we've finished you know."

Harry nodded. "Not as beautiful as our son will be." The blonde smile at that moving closer to Harry and laying his head in the crook of his neck. The two of them swayed for a while to the uncharacteristically slow song that was currently playing.

"Harry?"

"Hmm."

"I love you." Harry looked a Draco as if making sure he had really heard him correctly. Satisfied that he wasn't just hearing things Harry kissed his husband.

"I love you, too." He whispered when the broke apart. That night they made love for the first time.

"It's stunning!" Hermione gasped while viewing the now finished baby's room for the first time. "Who did the ceiling?" She asked making her way around stroking all the different items of furniture.

"Draco." Harry told her from where he stood in the doorway. He'd agreed to show her the room before they went out shopping. Draco was at Snape's completing his final potion before he took time off and Hermione had declared it was the perfect opportunity for her to leave Amy and Ben with Ron and go out for lunch with Harry.

"It's... There aren't words to describe it! I had no idea he was this talented!"

"Neither did I."

"Oh and the crib! I'm so jealous... You know I really wanted Amy to use the Weasley crib but Fleur refused to let us have it. That caused quite a stir really as Louis could have used the Delacour one. She just wanted to be awkward. Then Ben missed out on the family crib again for Percy and Penelope's kid. He claimed that they should have first choice as he was older and it was their first; Peters eight months old now and they're still hanging on to that damn crib. Next time I'm going to fight tooth and nail for it." She ranted distractedly while running her hands over the runes.

"Next time?" Harry prompted.

"Four maximum we agreed on. I want to get them out early then concentrate on my career." Hermione smiled at him before walking over and wrapping his arms around his waist and leaning her head on his shoulder looking out over the room once more. "I'm very happy for you and also very proud that you have finally grown up enough to look past yours and Draco's differences."

"Well I couldn't much help looking past them I fell in love with the great ponce didn't I?" That statement made his friend laugh very loudly.

"Naming Ceremony?" Harry repeated mouthful of steak.

"Close your mouth while you're eating. Yes were going to have a traditional Naming Ceremony." Draco told him neatly slicing his steak.

"You do realise I have absolutely no idea what a naming ceremony is never mind what a traditional one is?" He asked quite amused about Draco's annoyance.

"That's right you where brought up by Muggles. I might have to put a sign up on the fridge reminding me to explain any sort of Wizarding related subject to you in detail as you've only lived here for nine years." Draco was easily annoyed tonight luckily Harry knew how to relieve the tension. He banished their plates and walk behind Draco beginning to massage his shoulders.

"Why don't we go upstairs?" His hands moved a lot lower. "Where you can tell me all about a traditional Naming Ceremony?" As Harry predicted Draco quite agreed with his suggestion and after a more intimate massage Draco told Harry all about traditional Naming Ceremonies.

"I think we should have another layer of drapes. Perhaps silver?" Draco voiced pointing around the room at the already brilliant white and pearl drapes that line Snape Manor's ball room. They were getting the room ready for the naming ceremony as the babies due date was next week. The naming ceremony would be held two days after the baby was born so Draco had wanted to make sure all the preparations where finished before hand. Harry had been dragged along for the ride not really understanding the importance of the ceremony but knowing it was important to Draco. He was completely shattered after a long days work but he had now completed his first years training early thanks to Healer Hastings. He was now off until September when he would return to the Magical Emergencies department as an F1 under the strict instruction of Hastings. He was half standing half leaning on Draco. "Harry are you listening?"

"Yes Draco I'm listening. No I don't think it needs another layer."

"Thank you." Draco waved his arm and another layer of drapes hung throughout the room and Harry had to admit that it did actually look better.

"Surely we've finished now!" Harry said motioning to the dial that had been set up in the middle of the room surround by chairs. Even the buffet table was just waiting for food.

"Yes we've finished." Draco conceded. As part of Naming Ceremony tradition the baby's name wasn't supposed to be said aloud until the ritual; Harry was terrible nervous about the whole thing. He didn't want to slip up and disappoint his Husband.

"Wow this looks fantastic! You've out done yourself again Draco." Remus gushed walking over to them. "Come and join me and Severus for a drink. A coffee for you I think Harry; you look dead on your feet." He ushered them down the hall into a sitting room where Snape sat waiting. Remus got them settled with a drink and sat down next to Snape taking his hand. Harry raised his eyebrow; Snape wasn't one for a public display of affection and this was the first time Harry had seen him allow it.

"Tell them already." Snape rolled his eyes at Remus.

"We're getting married!" The sandy haired man announced and that's how both Harry and Draco's drinks ended up all over the floor.

"Harry wake up!" Draco shook him lightly

"Mmmm... Tired." Harry burrowed more deeply under the covers.

"I know me too but an owls just come."

"Owl?" Came the muffled but curious reply.

"Yes the babies on its way."
