Harry was in too much of a state of shock to say anything. "You're really
going to name him after me and my dad?" he finally whispered.
"Harry, James wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for you and Draco getting Hermione here in time. The doctor said that another minute and Hermione would be.." Ron looked down.
"Hey I did what any one would have done in that situation. I'm just glad that James and Hermione are OK" said Harry hugging his best friend.
Ron hugged him back and then everyone hugged Hermione, Ron, Harry, Draco and Ginny.
"So, where's the reception?" asked Draco.
"Oh, we didn't have time to think of that. We just sort of decided about the christening" said Ron.
"Well, everyone come to Sizzle then. I'll just go up ahead and organise everything" said Draco with a gleam in his eye that looked positively happy at the chance to organise a reception.
He kissed Harry and then apparated away.
Draco got to Sizzle and summoned his staff. Together they began to organise food, decorations and everything that was needed. Draco thought back to how he ended up as a chef and mused how differently his life had turned out to be.
Draco ended up as a chef when he found that cooking and potion making were near enough the same thing. His father hated the idea as he remarked that Malfoy's never do anything as menial as cooking. But basically he nicked food from the kitchens at Hogwarts so often and because he could tell every flavour the houselves's put into the food, that his curiosity got the better of him and the house elves taught him how to cook. In fact they were absolutely delighted. None more so then Dobby, who thought it was a novel situation to teach his old master to cook. Draco had a talent for cooking which surpassed the house elves expertise. Hungry for knowledge he had studied with the best chefs from around the world and was now a sought after chef. He decided to open up Sizzle, because he wanted to be his own boss. But unlike many other chefs he wanted to be able to run it and cook. And since he had such knowledge for business that's how he ended up making Sizzle the most successful restaurant in the Muggle and Wizarding World. Draco knew exactly what flavours a person would react best to, just by studying their order. So, the customers got an extra special treat because all their taste buds were being stimulated by the foods, which made them, come back more often, and made Draco a very happy and very rich man!
He apparated back to the church and told everyone there to apparate to Sizzle. Everyone did and they were so surprised at how the elegant restaurant had been turned into an equally elegant reception. Ron and Hermione didn't know what to say. "Draco, this is too much. How much do we owe you?" asked Ron looking at the streamers and the balloons, but most of all the enchanted banner with a picture of a baby smiling.
"Think nothing of it" said Draco. "It was my pleasure and consider this my gift to James and you guys. After all that's what a god father is for!"
Just then Sirius and Snape materialized out of nowhere, carrying their own bundle of joy. Snape had turned into a woman and was now known as Sylvia. He and Sirius lived in a cottage in Bognor. Snape had had the operation after dressing for 20 years as a woman in secret. He was a very handsome woman and had all the bits and bobs of a female, including periods. Their bundle of joy, three-year-old Betina Augusta Black. Betina squealed at the sight of Harry and ran to hug him.
"Hey Betina" said Harry grinning.
"Hey Uncle Harry, Uncle Draco" said Betina ran to hug him too.
"Harry" said Sirius coming to hug his godson, whilst Sylvia went to hug her godson, Draco.
"Ron told us about James, and Draco invited us to the reception. Where is he?" asked Sirius beaming.
Harry pointed out Hermione trying to get James to sleep. Sylvia came up to Harry with Betina in her arms and Draco with her. "Harry!" she said with a warmth of a mother. "How are you? Draco invited us here and I see you and him have progressed your relationship."
Sylvia smirked, "That's £10 Sirius owes me now"
Harry stared in amazement. Draco caught his eye and they both started laughing. Harry slipped a hand around Draco's waist and said, "How many people have put a bet on us being together?"
"So far, we've made £190 for everyone here in total" said Draco. It seemed like all their friends and family had been betting on them getting together.
"Thanks, for this and for everything" whispered Harry looking into Draco's eyes.
"Hey, this is the perks of being a god father!" said Draco, "It's my pleasure"
Harry smiled and he and Draco kissed. Ron cleared his throat for a speech. "First of all, I'd like to thank my wife Hermione for bringing James Harry Weasley into the world" there was a brief round of applause as Ron kissed Hermione.
"And then I'd like to thank Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter for bringing Hermione to the hospital just in time. Without these two there wouldn't be a James" everyone cheered and clapped at this.
"And lastly I'd like to thank Draco for organising this reception at the last moment and to all of you for coming. It means a lot to us that you can come be with us on this special day" said Ron.
Everyone clapped and set about eating food, drinking and chatting.
Soon it was time to go and with a simple spell, everything was cleared up and the restaurant went back to the way it was.
Harry and Draco tiredly made their way back to the flat. They both were exhausted and after getting into their pyjamas, crawled gratefully into bed. After a last kiss goodnight, both were asleep.
But, in the middle of the night, an owl tapped on their window. Draco got up and took the letter which was in it's beak. As he read it, he paled white. Harry who had awoken at the commotion looked at his lover and asked, "What is it?"
"It's my dad. He's escaped" said Draco in a whisper that only Harry heard.
"Harry, James wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for you and Draco getting Hermione here in time. The doctor said that another minute and Hermione would be.." Ron looked down.
"Hey I did what any one would have done in that situation. I'm just glad that James and Hermione are OK" said Harry hugging his best friend.
