A/N A Magic Monday to you all, we are nearly at the end, I hope you enjoy x

An array of pastries and cakes adorned a sliver tray taking pride of place in the middle of the wooden table; it glinted in the morning sunlight. Hermione and Seamus had come to join the newlyweds for tea, Harry's afterglow not going unnoticed, Seamus had winked at him and chuckled when he greeted them, Hermione gave him a knowing smile.

'Kreacher has outdone himself', Seamus countered buttering his third scone and plopping a dollop of jam on the top.

'This is nothing' Harry replied 'I got up this morning and found him humming in the kitchen, the benches were littered with enough food to feed Hogsmeade and Hogwarts'

'I'm not complaining' Seamus grinned biting into his jam-covered scone, crumbs sprinkling into his lap

'When you have finished massacring that scone Mr. Finnegan perhaps you would like to accompany me to the garden, I have several plants you might be interested in' Severus quipped

'It's Seamus and I would love to' the Irish man answered

Hermione shook her head as an avalanche of crumbs fell from her boyfriends lap and landed on the wooden deck.

Harry laughed at the look in his friends face and gave her hand a squeeze.

'He's one of a kind' Hermione muttered

'Yep won't ever find another one like him' Harry mused

The pair watched as their loves, wandered the garden, Severus stopping every so often to point out something to Seamus, he was so animated when talking about plants and what they could be used for in Potions, the warmth that spread through Harry brought a smile to his face.

'You've got that goofy looking grin on your face again' Hermione chortled

'Can't help it' Harry reasoned 'he makes me so happy Mione, watching him out there getting so passionate about plants and potions makes my heart swell'

'Naww how cute' Hermione teased

'You should talk, I've seen a few dreamy looks directed towards the garden in the last while thank you Miss Granger' Harry remarked

'I like what I see' Hermione said pointedly

'I meant you tell you Harry' Seamus piped up over dinner that night 'Honeydukes is being sold, I was in there this morning Mr. Flume said he and his wife are going back to Germany and retiring'

'I hope someone decent buys it, Hogsmeade wouldn't be the same without Honeydukes' Harry countered 'It's one of the reasons we used to love going there of a weekend at Hogwarts'

'Among others' Severus murmured

'I was a model student whilst in Hogsmeade thank you dear husband' Harry smirked

'I wasn't talking about you my elf' Severus grinned 'I believe I caught Mr. Finnegan in a comprising position or two during those trips'

'All lies' Seamus argued

'I think you've landed yourself an Irishman with a checkered past Mione' Harry chuckled knowing exactly the occasions Severus was referring to

'I've always known he was a rouge' Hermione said evenly 'I'd say he has more than atoned for his sins over the years'

'That I have, thank you love' Seamus smiled warmly at Hermione and a blush crept across her cheeks.

Settled in his favourite position later that night, Harry was nodding off to sleep when Severus spoke, breaking the silence.

'I have been thinking my elf, why don't you buy Honeydukes from the Flumes?'

Harry leant up on his elbows and looked at his husband 'You think I could?' he asked

'I don't see why not, you have the money to buy it, you relate well to other people' Severus outlined

'There's been something else I have been thinking about, I don't know if I could do two things' Harry said dejectedly

'You can do anything you put your mind to' Severus reminded him, now what's this other idea?'

'It's to do with us, or rather our inheritances' Harry began 'being that I was raised by muggles and flawed ones at that, my knowledge of the magical world was limited to say the least, coming into a creature inheritance was something I never thought existed. There must be a lot of people out there just like me, who don't know the first thing about it, and I thought that I could start a school of sorts to guide them along, I would target those who were 16 nearing 17 and prepare them so when they come into their inheritance it won't be such a shock, what do you think?'

'I think you are a brilliant young man and the idea is fabulous' Severus said proudly 'Would you teach them during the week?'

'I thought the weekends might be better, then I am not interfering with weekday classes' Harry stated

'You could talk to Minerva see what she thinks, work out a schedule perhaps, remember too love that 6th and 7th years have free periods, so the odd weekday class might not be insurmountable' Severus suggested 'As for the shop should you decide to buy it, I could run it on the weekends or we can get a manager to look after things?'

'Sounds great' Harry smiled' I really want to give it a try'

'Then that's what you'll do' Severus said

'I know something else that isn't insurmountable' Harry purred a wicked gleam in his eye

'What's that?' Severus questioned

'You' Harry growled pouncing on his husband and straddling his lap, leaning down he took the tip of Severus' ear into his mouth and suckled gently

'Fuck Harry' Severus cried out

'My thoughts exactly' Harry mumbled

Harry was seated at the kitchen table the next morning when Hermione came out rubbing her eyes, Seamus trailing behind her. Pecking Harry on the cheek, she went over to the coffee pot and poured her and Seamus a large mug full.

'Didn't you sleep last night Mione?' Harry asked noting the circles under his friend's eyes and the yawns she was doing her best to stifle.

'Not a whole lot no' Hermione huffed 'bit hard with all the ruckus coming from the other room'

'What ruck… oh' Harry had the good grace to blush and lower his head 'Sorry must have forgotten the silencing charms'

'Must have' Hermione snipped sipping her coffee

Seamus gave Harry two thumbs up as if to say good job mate, alas Hermione spotted him out the corner of her eye and he was rewarded with a slap.

While Hermione was putting some toast into the toaster, Seamus leant over the table and whispered

'Sev's got a lot of go in him for an old bloke, never pictured him being quite so vocal though, and was that another language I heard him scream at one point?'

'He isn't that old and yes it was, apparently we are prone to speaking elvish in moments of passion' Harry blushed

'Might have to learn another language' Seamus chortled

'You might have to learn to go without too' Hermione snipped coming over to the table.

The small village pub was quaint and a fire crackled in a stone hearth, Hermione, Seamus, Harry and Severus were having lunch together before the pair went back to Ireland, after seeing Hermione's parents who lived not far from the pub.

It was relatively quiet and they were able to sit back and enjoy the atmosphere. Harry had told them about the conversation he and Severus had, had the evening before, while trying to fight the blush threatening to spread across his cheeks. The agreed it was a great idea and Hermione offered to help Harry with the Ministry if need be. As coffees were set down on the table, Hermione pulled something from her bag.

'I wanted to wait until everything had settled after the wedding before giving this to you' she smiled, handing over a cream envelope with Harry and Severus' named written on the front

Opening the envelope, Harry gaped as he pulled out two International Portkey tickets to Greece for 5 days, along with the details of a resort they would be staying at on one of the islands.

'A wedding present from me and Seamus' she added at the look on Harry's face

'Mione, Seamus this is wonderful, thank you so much' Harry breathed

'Yes thank you very much' Severus concurred 'It is very kind of you'

'You are welcome Hermione smiled 'It's in the wizarding quarter of Greece, the island is quite a ways from the nearest village so you will have loads of privacy'

'Wont need silencing charms' Seamus chimed in.

Two weeks later on a deck overlooking the Mediterranean Ocean, two elves sun baked on lounge chairs, the golden sun beating down on them. There was no one for miles around and they loved it.

'Shall we indulge in a little midnight swim tonight my elf?' Severus asked

'I believe we shall Sev elf' Harry answered 'perhaps after a game of Monopoly?'

'Our version?' Severus raised a brow

'Is there any other?' Harry smirked 'could even play it out here no one's around'

'How very Slytherin of you darling' Severus replied

'Learned from the best' Harry smiled stretching out on the lounge
