'Mes - lol, I can identify with that 'talking in their beds' scene because I know that its happened to me and my sister at least once grins Thanks for the review!

Chapter 2

The next morning it took Harry a couple of minutes to figure out where he was. He then saw Draco still asleep in the bed next to him.

Stretching Harry then saw Severus in the doorway of the room. "Please wake your brother Harry and then come into the main room together," he was instructed.

Harry gently shook Draco's shoulder. "Draco! Hey Draco! Come on! Time to get up!" Finally sleepy eyes fought to stay open. On seeing Harry, Draco shot straight up and then remembered everything and calming down.

"Come on, we're wanted," Harry told him and they headed to the door, both still in nightclothes.

They walked out into what appeared to be a living area to find Severus sat on a couch. He motioned them over and sat one of them of either side of him. They had gone to sit together. Severus leaned back, putting his arms round the lad's shoulders.

"I don't suppose you two were talking after you went to bed last night, were you?" he asked casually.

Both boys gulped and shared a look. That was enough of an answer for their father.

"I take it that means yes? Thought so, I heard part of the conversation," he told them.

"You... you did?" Draco asked.

"Indeed."

"What part?" Draco went on to ask.

"About Lily's relatives, your Aunt, Uncle and Cousin."

Harry and Draco shared a look of relief. "You two weren't talking about me by any chance were you?"

"Not really," Harry told his father.

"Not really?" Severus questioned.

"It was nothing bad!" Draco reassured.

"And what would count as bad, Draco?"

"Father!" both Harry and Draco exclaimed together. They then saw Severus' face break into a grin.

"You set us up then!" Harry accused his father.

"Oh did I?" Severus asked with a straight face.

"Yes!" Draco told him.

"Go and get dressed," Severus told them lightly. "I've had the house-elves put out clothes for you."

"But what about lessons?" Harry asked.

"You have been excused from your lessons for today," Severus told the two of them. "We are going to spend some time getting to know each other better and then discuss the way things are going to run around here."

Walking back into their room Harry and Draco had found that their beds had been made and that clothes had been laid out for them. They consisted of black cut-offs, a white short-sleeved shirt, a green tie, a black sleeveless jacket and black socks and shoes. Once dressed they examined each other.

"What is Dad thinking?" Draco exclaimed, taking in what Harry looked like.

"I don't know, why don't you ask him?"

"No way!" Draco exclaimed, making his way over to the mirror. "Argh! I look terrible!"

"You look terrible! Look at me!" Harry exclaimed.

Taking in what his brother looked like Draco began to laugh, which in turn set Harry off. Draco then had a brainwave and loosened the tie around his neck and opened the top two shirt buttons. Harry followed suit and they made their way to the living area, only to fine it empty.

Wandering through the next door they found Severus sat at a table reading the Daily Prophet in what appeared to be the dining room. This time they took seats next to each other, a little way down the table from Severus.

Eating what was put on their plates quickly Harry and Draco had no idea of what to do next. They shared a look and then glanced at Severus.

Seeing his sons were done Severus stood up and left the room, gesturing for them both to follow him. Once again they were made to sit down one on either side of him.

"Erm... Father?" Harry asked nervously.

"Yes," Severus encouraged, giving Harry's shoulder's a little squeeze.

"What do we look like without the charms on?" Harry asked.

"Different."

"Father! That's no answer!" Draco complained.

"Oh isn't it?" Severus asked, knowing that he was winding the two of them up.

"No it isn't!" Harry's reply came straight back. "And besides, I know what you're doing."

"And what would that be Harry?" Severus asked.

"You're getting me and Draco to gang up on you so that we work together and put our differences behind us," Harry said matter-of-factly.

"You have been spending way too much time with that Hermione Granger!" Draco told him.

"Hermione's one of my best friends!" Harry informed him. "And speaking of Hermione, what am I supposed to tell her and Ron about where I've been today? They'll want to know, I expect that they're probably worried about me."

"Worried about you?" Severus asked.

"Well, yeah. I went for a potions detention and never came back. You don't exactly have a good reputation in the Gryffindor common room, Father," Harry told him.

"Hmm.... well we'll cross that bridge when we come to it," Severus told him. "For now though, the both of you will be staying down here in my quarters and if I as so much as catch you arguing, especially over Gryffindor and Slytherin, you will regret it, understand? Me and your mother where from different Houses so you should be able to get along perfectly," Severus told them both very seriously.

"Yes Sir," they whispered in unison.

"And when we're down here, it's Father, not sir, ok?"

"Ok."

Severus pulled both of his sons into a tight hug and held them there for a moment. "Why don't the two of you go for a walk?" he suggested. "Get to know each other better, and no arguing!"

The two left his quarters and headed outside. It was a lovely day and they were both glad that the summer term was nearly over. "I'll be glad when school's finally out for the summer," Harry sighed as the headed towards the lake without even needing to ask each other where they were going.

"Yeah, it'll be good to have teachers off our backs for a while," Draco agreed.

"Mind you, we've now got one of the hardest professor's as our Father, we might not have that much of a holiday after all," Harry pointed out.

"Don't say things like that!" Draco groaned.

"Hey, I'm not complaining, I don't have to go back to the Dursley's. I hated it there and they hate me," Harry told his twin.

"Hey, just forget about that now, you've got me and Father now to help you," Draco put his arm round Harry's shoulders and they sat down on the far shore of the lake. They had walked pretty quickly without realising it.

"You know, before Ron and Hermione, I never had anyone to confide in, no who cared about me that I knew of," Harry told Draco. "And now I've got an identical twin and twins are supposed to be very close, just look at Fred and George."

"I know, don't worry we'll be close," Draco comforted.

"So, friends?" Harry asked.

"Twins," Draco told him with a smile.

And when Severus came looking for them some time later he found them sat with their arms around each other on the shore laughing about something in very good moods.

Severus himself was also in a very good mood, having just seen his Master whilst he had sent Harry and Draco for a walk.
