Chapter Fifty-One:
A Long Summer
As soon as their plane touched down in Stanstead airport Draco let out a lungful of air, relief washing through him that he'd landed safely. His fingers had been digging into Harry's fist for so long that it was now bright red with little dark crescents carved into his skin. "Shit! I'm so sorry Harry!" Draco explained as Harry rubbed at the marks, trying to ease them away without much success.
Harry shrugged with a small smile, "It's alright love, you didn't draw blood. Anyway, I'm not too fond of flying in a plane either so if you hadn't of done this to me, I might've done it to you."
Draco rolled his eyes but pressed his lips against the raw knuckles, "That really was a wonderful holiday."
Harry nodded as the seat-belt sign dinged and went out over their head. "I can't wait to get our photos developed!" They unfastened their seat-belts, grabbed their small carry-on cases from the over head storage and then shuffled along for about twenty minutes to get out of the plane, and then marched briskly along to the tall glass-walled building. The August heat was beating down on the backs of their necks as they waited outside for their ab to pull up to the curb.
The drive home took almost an hour but both had been exhausted from their early plane ride that it could have taken all day and they wouldn't be any the wiser. Ideally they wanted to go home and rest but they had to get the kids. Or perhaps they could call Remus and have him and Sirius bring everyone over to the new house later that afternoon? That would be better, Harry decided as he fished in his jean pocket for his mobile phone. He was so glad that most people he knew had a muggle landline. It made things so much simpler when you were in muggle London. He dialed the number and waited for someone to pick up.
"Hello?" chimed a merry voice on the other end.
"Hi Teddy? It's Harry."
"Oh my God! Hi Da! Are you and Draco back from your honeymoon?" he asked in a cheeky voice that made Harry chuckle and shake his head.
"It's been amazing Teddy. Honestly I recommend it to everyone!" he laughed, "Is your Dad there? I need to ask him something."
"Yeah sure!" Teddy shuffled the phone over and then a much deeper voice came onto the line, "Hello Harry?"
"Hey Remus, I was just wondering if you could do me a favour?"
"Of course, what do you need?"
"I was just wondering if you could bring the kids to the new house later this evening? I just want to relax a little and organize a few of their things beforehand. That's not too much trouble is it? I promise this weekend we'll have a big party to thank you all."
Remus chuckled down the line. The noise always made Harry smile, "I'll hold you to that, you know. Alright that sounds good. I'll let the kids know."
"Great," Harry licked at his lips, "So what have you lot been up to today anyway?"
"We were planning on going to the Wizarding Zoo. I know it's a bit childish, but it was Lily's turn to pick where to go so she picked the zoo. Not that I mind. It's been a while since I've been myself." He laughed again and then a clattering in the background made him shout over his shoulder. Grumbling he came back on the line, "Got to go Harry, it would see your son is letting off George's fireworks again. Don't worry, he won't get any sweet today."
Despite the joke Harry frowned, his laugh a little hollow but he pushed the thoughts aside. "That's fine, go sort him out. I'll see you all later. My love to the children."
They both hung up and then Harry wriggled down further in the backseat of the cab and rested his head back against the headrest. Soon he felt his eyelids getting heavier as the warm breeze flowed through the windows of the car that were ajar. By the time they got to their new house, their new beautiful house, both of the men finally felt a little more rested than they had when they'd been waiting in the searing heat in the airport. They paid the driver and then hauled their belongings out of the boot -it had been quite a squeeze -and then were left alone on the doorstep of their new house.
"This is it then," Harry breathed as he took in the grandeur of their new house.
Draco nodded and reached down to squeeze Harry's hand, "Let's go in and see how everyone managed to sort things out then, shall we?" They gathered their bags up, as awkward as it was, and shuffled up the front garden path to the door and eased the sleek new key into the lock. The door creaked open to a beautifully sunlit hallway. "Oh wow, it's even prettier than I remembered."
When they'd been on their honeymoon they had organized for some people, under Remus and Hermione's supervision, to help move their brand new furniture into the house. A lot of it had been pre-ordered during long nights of organization around the wedding, and the kids had spent some time on decorating their own rooms. Harry and Draco, after much deliberation, had allowed James and Teddy the room with the little balcony on the second floor. It was the one almost equipped to be a hotel room complete with en suite bathroom. They'd allowed it, now that James had turned sixteen, on the condition that Teddy pay rent since he was a working lad.
They'd agreed immediately. The reaction had been almost heart-breaking when they'd gone to discuss everything with Remus and Sirius and the instant that he saw Teddy, James bounded across the room and leaped into the older mans arms, pressing kisses to his lips and cheeks and neck and clutching him with all the pent up passion of the last few months. It had been torture for the both of them but the loving way that Teddy held James against him, stroked his hair and wiped his cheeks dry and kissed them, was more than enough of a confirmation that they'd made the right decision.
They'd chosen out their furniture together and had squabbled and tickled one another until they came to a bunch of decisions that they both agreed on. Eventually it had been decided that they would have a white walls with two shades of blue in bold stripes down the walls, a large kingsized bed matching wardrobe and dressers and a desk in the corner for James to study at and a bookcase in one corner for all of their combined reading material. On Teddy's dresser there were three photo's; one of him and his parents within the first month that he was born their smiles making him happy, a photo of Remus and Sirius' bonding ceremony with Teddy and Harry standing beside them, and another photo of Harry carrying him when he was only about five years old. On his bedside table, there was a beautiful little snapshot of him and James smiling at the camera, with Teddy smacking a kiss to James cheek and then laughing brightly. On Teddy's dresser there was simply a photo of all of them at one of their birthday parties and a small photo of Teddy tucked underneath his pillow.
Albus and Scorpius had had a lot of debate about their rooms. They were torn between sharing a room and having a room each. Both had pro's and con's. In the end Draco had suggested that they had the second largest room on the first floor and share it, and use on of the smaller ones to practice their potions techniques, and if they wanted two separate bedrooms later on then they would cross the bridge when they came to it. That made the decision making a lot easier. They'd opted for a bed each on either side of the large window, and a hunter green decor -very Slytherin of them James had stated -and had a large bookcase for their books and shelves for their Quidditch memorabilia.
Lily had insisted on having a bunk-bed in her bedroom. She stated in a very bossy manner, that when Cecelia grew up she was going to need somewhere to sleep besides her cot. She insisted that Cece might get scared of the dark and if she did, Lily could just climb down the ladder and give her a hug so that both her Daddies could sleep better at night. She chose the colour scheme mostly for herself, but she did hold up little colour charts and let Cece poke slap her little fist against random ones. Lily worked with what she was given and would often press kisses to Cece's chubby cheeks. In the end, her colour scheme had been soft lavender coloured walls with pink lilies and butterflies dotted around the walls.
As far as they could discern on their browse around the rooms after they'd hung all their clothes in their own bedroom, everything was in its rightful place and only a few trivial things needed doing like taking the plastic off the mattresses and dusting some of the furniture.
The cupboards were all well stocked as was the muggle fridge and all the gas and water had been connected up properly.
Once everything was settled both men collapsed onto the sofa and exhaled loudly. "We really did do good didn't we?" Draco mused as he looked around at their surroundings. Harry nodded against his chest and ran his hand up and down Draco's torso under his shirt. "What are you doing, Harry?" he asked gently, quirking an eyebrow at his husband.
Harry shrugged, "I'm just looking for something," he teased as he trailed his hand lower along the blonde hair on Draco's navel until her was fingering the waistband of the blonde's boxers. He slipped off of the end of the sofa and tugged Draco's chino's and boxers down, his cock bouncing against his stomach as it sprang free. Harry wasted no time in swallowing him whole, ignoring how he choked a little.
Draco threw his head back and groaned as Harry's hot mouth enveloped him and sucked on him roughly. He shuddered and bucked his hips as he watched Harry's dark head of hair bobbing up and down in his lap. It was so hot hearing the muffled moans making him squirm on the sofa. He grasped Harry's hair and eased him away from his swollen erection and kissed his hot, wet mouth. "Not here, I want to fuck you good and dirty on the kitchen table," he growled in a husky voice.
He watched as Harry grew harder just at the thought of what those words meant, and smirked. He dragged him onto his feet and then backed the smaller man over to the kitchen, where he pressed him down flat against the brand new table top, and quickly unfastened his trousers and tugged them down. He kissed a trail down Harry's tanned body and licked a teasing line up the length of Harry's erection before slipping the head into his mouth and teasing the slit with his tongue. Harry's hips bucked up and he groaned at the way Draco was toying with him.
He shivered as Draco spread his legs and ran his tongue over his bulls before lowering slightly to slip his tongue over the ring of tight muscle that made Harry moan loudly. He spread his legs a little wider as Draco slipped his tongue further and slicked Harry up before replacing his tongue with his index finger, pushing in as gently as possible as Harry's muscles tightened around him. "Relax Harry," he murmured as he widened his husband beneath him before slipping another finger inside.
The brunette man shuddered but didn't clench as tightly as the two fingers slipped in and out of him, Draco's brilliant blonde hair shimmering over his head. "D-Draco!" he grunted heavily as he slipped his hand into the blonde mans hair. Draco smirked and then wet his erection up before pressing his head against Harry's tight entrance. He watched as the brunette man hissed sharply as Draco breached his entrance. Harry was so tight, despite the amount of sex they'd been having over their honeymoon. Draco felt as though he had been sucked in and gasped out loud at how tight his husband was as soon as he was fully sheathed. "M-Move!" Harry grunted, his muscles pulsing around his husbands cock.
Draco didn't need telling twice as he leaned over and braced himself against the counter and started to thrust his hips. He rammed himself over and over into his husbands body, feeling every muscle burn around him.
He could feel Harry sweating and writhing underneath him, the awkward angle of the kitchen table burying Draco deeper and deeper within moments. His mouth hung open as he panted heavily, his tanned hands clawing down Draco's back underneath his shirt. Draco's grunts and Harry's orgasms echoed throughout their house, not as much as it would have done, but enough to be heard in the front garden if they had forgotten to put up silencing charms.
It didn't take long for them to reach their climax. They rocked together and soon Draco was tensing his muscles and panting that he was going to come!
"Dra-a-a-co!" Harry cried out as he released himself all over their chests just as Draco came inside him before collapsing down and leaning on Harry's damp chest.
They both panted heavily as feeling returned to their muscles and Draco pushed himself up off the table and leaned over his husband, "I love you, you know."
Harry gave a breathy chuckle, "I love you too, you soppy git," he reached up and brushed his fingers through Draco's damp hair.
"HOLY CRAP! DAD! PUT SOME PANTS ON!" came a choking cry from the arched doorway from the dining room.
Both men jumped away from one another, Draco's hands shuffling to zip himself up, colouring red all the way to the roots of his hair, as Harry dropped down to the floor, shuffling his jeans up his eyes wide behind his glasses. "JAMES! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? IT'S TOO EARLY FOR YOU!"
"Clearly!" James snapped whilst turning his back, his hands plastered over his eyes, "And if you think for one SECOND that I'm eating at that table, you are SO wrong!"
Once both men were decent again, they whipped around to stand and glare down at James, "What are you doing home this early?" Draco snapped, his face still bright red from exertion and getting caught.
"Well it wasn't to see my dads having sex like two horny teenager! Merlin, Dad, at least Teddy and I are DISCREET!"
Harry couldn't tell if he wanted to yell or laugh at the situation. It was too bizarre. He and Draco had literally just been caught fucking on the kitchen ankle and were being treated like two naughty schoolkids getting off in an empty classroom. He raked a hand through his hair and then sighed heavily, "Never mind! Where are the others? Why are you all back so early?"
James, still frowning, looked up at his dad and Draco, "Cece got scared when a Fwooper started making weird noises in its cage, so after we calmed her down with ice cream and stuff Remus thought it would be best to come home. Thankfully, I decided to come ahead whilst they packed. Good thing I did too. you wouldn't want to scar Cece with that as her first memory."
Draco frowned and bit down on his lip and cast his eyes towards the door, "Alright well you two set the table, I'll order some take away for tonight and help Remus bringing the kids over."
James snorted through his nose and muttered under his breath, "It's going to take more than a table cloth to erase those imprints -OW!" he winced as Harry smacked him upside the head. He continued to grumble as they set the table and within fifteen minutes Draco and Remus were back laden with Lily, Albus, Scorpius and Cece and a whole bunch of gifts from the Wizarding Zoo.
"Hey Remus do you want to stay for dinner?" Draco asked.
Remus shook his head with a smile, "No thanks Harry. Sirius is busy cooking for me right now so I need to be heading back. Behave yourselves kids!" he called back over his shoulders as he stepped into the fireplace and grabbed a handful of floo.
"We will Uncle Remus!" Lily chimed out from her place at the table, her face beaming brightly.
That night they ate their way through their Chinese food and chatted about the honeymoon and all the brightly coloured fish they saw, and how they needed to have an all-muggle family vacation so that everyone could enjoy it. One of the things that Harry sometimes regretted was not getting his kids more acquainted with the muggle world. James told Harry how Teddy had taken him on a proper date in Hogsmeade and it had been amazing. He also said that before the summer was out they needed to have a big barbecue party so everyone could get together and have a great send off before school started once again. Harry exchanged a smile with Draco who looked over at James, "That sounds like a great idea, James. We'll have send some owls out soon."
The rest of the night passed by peacefully enough and they watched a muggle movie on their TV in the living room before Harry decided it was time for bed.

"I must say, Draco, being happily married seems to agree with you," Hermione teased as she sipped her orange juice, her brown curls tucked under a white sun hat and a little cap on Jasons head whilst Deborah was giggling in her father's lap in the lounger nearby.
Draco rolled his eyes as he pressed a soft kiss on the top of Cece's head as she snoozed in his arms. He looked up down their garden and saw Harry playing with the younger kids and laughing as he let them tackled him to the ground with feigned yells of "No! Not the face! Argh!" He couldn't help but chuckle as he stroked Cece's tiny hand, "I didn't realise how much I was missing out. It's such a relief not to have all those stupid pureblood rules like we had in the manor," he grimaced even before Hermione could, and she smiled softly over at him.
"Well I've not seen Harry this happy since the day that James was born. You really do make each other happy. You have no idea how glad I am for you both," she sipped at her juice some more and laughed when Hugo grabbed hold of Harry's leg and wouldn't let go as the older man limped about. "I'm glad you enjoyed your honeymoon. The photo's were lovely," she murmured, referring to the large photo album they now had filled with the snap shots they'd taken on holiday. He'd passed it around over the bbq and everyone chuckled at some of the ones where Draco was asleep.
He nodded and then grinned, "It was a great holiday. After this year it felt nice just to be together and relax and not have to worry about anything for a little while."
"Wasn't your mother disappointed about the small wedding?" Ron asked as he fed Deborah a little blob of fat-free yoghurt.
Draco snorted, "That's an understatement. But then I told I already had the big wedding crap and didn't need it again. It was summer, how much prettier can you get?" Ron snorted but continued to feed Deborah yoghurt when Hermione wasn't paying attention. "Besides, now we can spend our time with enjoying our summer with the kids before they all go back to school. I mean I know we'll have Lily and Cece to look after but then things will be easier and we'll easily have some alone time."
Hermione nodded, "That's why I'm glad that Hugo has infant school now with Lily. It gives him something to do during the day and I can have a break when these two finally nod off and nap. The honeymoon did you good though, I can tell. And you both look so much healthier with that tan."
"I looked ill before?"
"Yes, but then I think we all did. So glad no photo's were taken this year until now otherwise I'd look awful!"
Ron snickered "Ignore her. Now that she's back to her normal weight she complains about all her maternity clothes."
Hermione threw a napkin ball at his head which only made Draco and Ron laugh at her antics. Just then James hurried in towards the house and Draco swiped out to grab his shirt, "Where do you think you're going, kid?" he asked.
James flushed and rolled his eyes, "I was going to grab some quirt guns for me, Rosie and Dominique. You don't mind do you Dad?"
Draco smirked, "Go on, but only use the muggles ones. Uncle George hasn't tested his ones and I refuse to let anyone get knocked unconscious today."
James frowned, "How can you get knocked out with a blast of water?"
"Ask George," Ron said soberly, "He manages just about anything."
James grinned with a shrug and bounded into the house bare foot. Hermione turned to Draco and quirked an eyebrow, "So James is calling you 'dad' now?"
Draco nodded, "Apparently so. I was surprised at first but I'm not going to judge what the kid wants to do. Considering what he had for a mother it's no surprise he's happy with a replacement."
Ron gave a little cough. Draco raised an eyebrow in question. "What so ... 'no offence about your sister'?" Ron asked waving his fork about. At the perplexed looks on Draco and Hermione's faces he let out a loud laugh, "Merlin, I'm only kidding!"
This time is was Draco's turn to throw a napkin ball at the redhead.
Ron held Deborah up in front of his face, "Debs protest daddy! They're being evil!" he mock-cried. To everyone's delight, Deborah merely dipped her fist into the yoghurt and swiped it down Ron's face with a gaping grin. He gave a light scowl at the baby and then wiped her chubby little hand clean whilst Hermione leaned over and dabbed his own face clean with a muttered 'honestly'.
The amount of photo's that were taken that day made both Harry and Draco smile. They were so glad they had more than enough walls to hang photo's up. As they tumbled exhausted into bed that night after tucking all the kids in and saying goodnight to Teddy and James who were still downstairs watching a movie, Harry leaned his chin against Draco's chest and looked up into the mans grey eyes and smiled softly, "The next time we see everyone together is going to be when the kids go back to Hogwarts. You going to cry?" he teased with a wicked grin.
"Don't be such an idiot, scarhead," Draco quipped as he fingers the baby soft hair at the nape of Harry's neck, "You'll be crying and I will be rolling my eyes at how embarrassed our kids are at you."
Harry swatted the blonde mans thighs, "Well I know you're going to cry like a baby when Cece goes to Hogwarts."
Draco rolled his eyes, "Whatever, I don't have to deal with that for another ten odd years, so I think I'll be fine."
Harry smiled and rested his head down again, "Look at us, all grown up with a proper family in our big new house and making new memories."
Draco wrapped his arms around his husband's shoulders, "We have years ahead of us to make new memories, Harry. Let's just live in the moment for a little while."
Harry hummed softly, his eyelids drooping slightly, "Sounds like a plan." It wasn't long until his fell asleep curled up in Draco's strong, freshly tanned arms.
