Draco woke the next morning, to find Raven's bed empty. He looked at the clock and saw it was 1:30 A.M. The house elves had made a small bed to go next to Draco's, so he could know she was safe but she wasn't in it.
He looked the room over. He didn't see Raven anywhere, with that he ran, grabbing a robe then heading out the door. Running around the castle, he looked in all her favorite places. Finding her nowhere, he began to panic.
"Where the hell are you Raven?" he said to thin air.
Cursing himself and smirks somewhat, he ran to the DADA hallway and headed for Harry's room. Laughing quietly to himself, he opened the door to his destination. He smiled when he opened the door. Draco entered the room and softly shut the door, not wanting to wake the sleeping angels.
He walked over to the bed and saw the sweetest thing he could ever see. Harry was lying on his back with little Raven on his stomach. Harry's arm was around his daughter lightly resting on her back.
Draco smiled and took off his robe. Laying the robe on the side table, he carefully slipped under the covers snuggling close to Harry. Careful not to wake them, he curled into Harry's side. Placing a gently hand gently onto his lovers hand, that was lying on his daughter's back. He drifted off into a wonderful, sweet sleep.
----------------------
"Daddy….Daddy… DADDDY!" Raven screamed, shaking to wake him.
"Mmmmm…." Draco groaned. He opened his eyes to see Raven wearing her playtime dress and her long hair was pulled back into ponytails. Each ponytail was tied with a dark blue ribbon to match her dress.
"Can I go out with Auntie Min?" she asked happily, bouncing up and down next to him.
"Sure if you want." Draco said closing his eyes again.
"Come on Raven, lets go then." Minerva said, motioning for Raven to leave.
"Yay! Yay!" Raven screamed and ran from the room. Minerva closed the door behind them, softly smiling at the half-sleeping Draco.
Opening his eyes, Draco looked at the bathroom door. His eyes went wide at the beautiful sight before him. Exiting from the bathroom was a towel-clad Harry. Water was rolling down everything, from his neck to his rock hard abs. Stopping at the deep crimson towel that covered his hips.
'So Gryffindor, So SEXY!' Draco thought, he was immediately of the bed and had engulfed Harry's lips in a kiss. Moaning slightly, Harry wrapped his arms around Draco, pulling him closer hoping to Merlin that his towel wouldn't fall. Draco was first to break the kiss, looking deep into Harry's eyes.
"I love you." Draco said softly caressing Harry's cheek with his thumb. Harry's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't heard Draco say that since he got here.
"Lets go for a walk." Harry said.
"Sure," Draco then added. "Love." Harry smiled.
Getting dressed and showered, they headed out the door then to the grounds, hand in hand.
-------------------
"Minerva I think we've done it." Remus said to the lady beside him on the bench.
"Done what?" Tonks said as she walked up behind her lover, slipping her arms around him.
"That." Remus said, pointing to the couple in the distance.
Tonks and Minerva looked across the grounds to see what he was pointing to. Smiling, they both looked at Remus, he was grinning like a fool.
"Come here Raven." Tonks said sweetly, detaching from her lover. She picked the small child up and pointed at the walking couple.
"Bout time." Raven said as if it years and not the past two days.
Chuckling softly, Remus smiled. Maybe being headmaster did have its pros. They continued to watch the couple, from afar, not wanting to disturb the happiness the couple had found after so long.
----------------------
"So did she ask about me often?" Harry asked, as he sat down against a tree. Looking at the vast, crystal clear water of the lake.
"Yes, way to much. If you ask me." Draco replied, sitting next to Harry, leaning his head against Harry's shoulder.
"Why do you say it like that?" Harry wondered.
"Because every time she asked about you or something you did, she made me realize that I still loved you and how much I still love you." Draco sighed.
"Oh." Harry said softly.
They sat there a long time before their stomach seemed to growl at the same time.
"I think its time for lunch." Draco said as he got up and brushed himself off, offering a hand to help Harry up.
Taking the hand, Harry stood and brushed himself off also.
-----------------------
Inside the Great Hall there was a large table in the center of the room. The large table was laden with food. Sitting in the Headmaster's seat, was Raven chomping away at a large chicken leg. Tonks and Remus were talking about Tonk's upset stomach and very strange eating habits. Minerva and some of the other teachers were placing bets on how stupid Remus could get.
Harry and Draco took the last seats left, directly across form their daughter.
"Hi daddys." she exclaimed taking another bite of her chicken leg. They both laugh at her.
"Well don't eat to much darling or you may turn out like Hagrid." Draco said in a very fatherly way. Harry laughed. Draco glared at him with the don't-you-dare look.
"Cool." Raven said. She grabbed another leg for the other hand then took a bite from one then the other.
They continued to eat until Harry nudged Draco and pointed and a very sweet, sleeping Raven, curled up in the Headmaster's chair. Harry picked the sleeping beauty up and held her protectively against his chest.
"I think we should go." Harry said and he moved Raven' s hair from her eyes.
"I think so too."
They walked to Harry's room and just as Harry thought he was going to leave, Draco walked in and motioned to Harry. Draco took Raven from Harry's arms and laid her in the bed the House elves had left. Harry then went to change in the bathroom so Draco could have some private time to change. When he returned he found Raven in her green, silk nightgown and Draco in red boxers, getting ready to crawl into Harry's bed.
"Do you mind if I stay the night?" Draco asked, as he pulled the covers around him, snuggling deeper into the bed. Harry chuckled softly and climbed into the bed next to Draco. Snuggling close, they drift off to sleep.
