A/N because my normal beta ish gone InuLorien hath offered to Beta this, so say thanx to her :P Thankies for the reviews!
Avy was surprised when her father informed her that the Malfoy person would be coming over again. Cecelia was just making supper and her father and the Draco guy were outside looking at her father's broomstick.
Her father had an old Firebolt lying around the house; his godfather had given it to him when he was thirteen. Harry didn't ask Avy if she wanted to play quiditch, because she didn't. Even though a few Slytherins had bet her that she should join because after all, she was Harry Potter's daughter.
She hated the fact that people assumed she would be good at what her father was good at purely because they came from the same gene pool. Well, as much as she hated to disappoint them, her father and her were on totally different planets in the way of interests.
Avy walked out of her damp basement and looked out the window, noticing her father and that man were rather close to each other. The blonde almost had his hand around her father's hand. If that blonde man were a girl her father would probably be sucking the face off of him in ten seconds flat.
Avy turned her head when Cecelia called for her to come into the dinning table and help her set up the table, missing the two men grazing their lips together from the view out of the window.
Harry wasn't sure how this was going to work, Draco coming over when Cecelia was over as well. As much as he liked Cecelia, he wanted Draco. He wanted to feel those damnable lips over his again. Even as he was eating Cecelia's delicious pasta, he was craving the feel of Draco's lips.
He'd told Cecelia he was going out to see Draco, and she assumed Draco was some friend from way back in the day he had met up with again. So she told him to invite him over for dinner. If only she knew the truth. Harry and Draco had been on and off forever when he was seventeen. They didn't want others to know about them, so they kept it hidden.
Only Harry screwed up by getting attracted to Ivy and dating her. Draco knew Harry was dating a girl and he let it be. It was not like he could make any show of his attraction to Harry, his father would have skinned him alive.
Harry still remembered the day Ivy came running into his dormitory, glaring at him as if it were his fault she was pregnant. What made it worse was the fact he and Draco had been on Harry's bed, kissing and-other things.
Ivy had been furious, and that's when they broke up. Ivy kept quiet about it, but Harry lost Draco that day as well. The only one he gained was Avy, but he had a feeling he was slowly losing her as well.
Ivy told Harry right off the bat that she did not want to raise a child. Draco told Harry the next day that he wasn't going to date a guy who was about to become a father with someone else's child. Ivy at first resented Harry for not telling him about Draco, but after a month or so, she loosened up.
Draco, on the other hand, held his grudge. Harry and Draco hadn't been friendly with the other ever again, and everyone who saw them together could just see the tension boiling up between them.
Harry wasn't sure what had made Draco cave, only that Draco seemed to want Harry to come back to him. He felt kind of guilty, sitting there with Cecelia beside him, Draco on the other, and Avy facing him. Avy was playing with her pasta, being picky once again.
"Avy, would you just eat the darn pasta? It does not need to be dissected," Harry said, trying to be stern, only to get ice blue eyes glaring his way. Why did her eyes have to remind him of Draco? They weren't even the same shade, yet they reminded him of Draco just the same.
"I'm not that hungry, Harry, so leave me alone," Avy retorted back, and Harry sighed. She was never civil with him. Her black hair was falling into her face now, and Harry wondered when she was going to start calling him Dad again. She hadn't for a month already.
Cecelia seemed to see the tension building up, and so she distracted the two angry Potters from each other, and brought the conversation to Draco. "So what do you do Mr. Malfoy?" she asked pleasantly.
Draco smiled, but it was almost forced. Avy caught it; she'd seen it used by many women to her, the tell tale smile of the 'I'm trying to be friendly but I'd like nothing more then to get rid of you' situation. "I work with the ministry. My job is to basically keep control of muggle and wizard boundaries," he responded.
Avy felt the tension, and got up off the chair, leaving her plate on the table. "Avy where are you going?" Harry asked.
Avy turned her head and said, "I'm not hungry, Dad." And with that made her exit. Harry wasn't sure why she used the word dad, because she was supposed to be angry with him. Teenage girls are so hard to figure out.
Draco didn't know how a child could have such little respect for her father, but Avy Potter had broken the mold. "Harry, your daughter is out of control," Draco said while they sat at the table as that wishy-washy girl Harry was dating cleaned up. He had to figure out a way to get rid of her, because Harry was not going to be shared. Harry had Draco Malfoy's written all over him.
"Yeah I know Draco, but what can I do about it? She spends more time with Cecelia than she does with me," Harry said, looking at the floor with little interest.
"She doesn't look much like Ivy." Draco finally spoke about what they had been avoiding for more then thirteen years.
"No, and she doesn't act like her either. I don't think she hates Ivy anymore, just doesn't give a crap about her. Not that I can say I do either, it just would have been nice if Ivy at least made some effort to see Avy."
Draco nodded. He wasn't sure what to say, but he wanted to get away from Cecelia. "Want to go out somewhere later?" Draco asked Harry shook his head though.
"I can't," Harry said. Draco glared at him; he just had to spend time with Cecelia, his girlfriend. It made Draco want to sneer and hex the girl's hair into snakes. He wanted to be recognized as Harry's, he didn't want to be in the shadows again.
"I guess your girlfriend…" Draco started but Harry groaned.
"No, it's not her, Draco. I have practice tomorrow. There's a game in a week, and I was wondering if you'd… I mean, would you…" Harry was stuttering. He'd invited many girls to go see his games, but never a guy. It would have been too risky.
Draco smiled, he was happy; Harry wanted him to go to his game. "Yeah, I'll go to your game. I'm not going to cheer for you though," Draco informed Harry, but inside he knew he would cheer for Harry any day.
Over the next few days Avy noticed that Harry and Cecelia spent less and less time together. Avy was once again being forced to go to her father's game, but her friend Andrea was going to come along. Andrea had finally come back, and said she'd save Avy from the horrors of being in public alone.
Avy and Cecelia went to the game as they had the first time; the only difference was that at the stands, Avy saw a brunette with short cut hair and yellow eyes waving frantically to get their attention.
"AVY, GET YOUR BUM UP HERE!" Andrea screamed, making the people in front of her stare up at her as if she was going loony.
Avy knew Andrea had gone loony three years ago or somewhere around there. Avy walked up the stands, with Cecelia following her, and sat down beside her black-clad friend.
Andrea then squashed Avy in a bear hug, squealing "Avvyyyy, I missed you sooo much!" Avy saw Andrea's brother sitting beside her, looking at Avy as if she were a toad.
"I don't know you two freaks, okay?" he said, and turned to his friends, who were all in Gryffindor, like him. Avy just gave him a glare, and Andrea smacked him upside the head before the game started.
Cecelia seemed to enjoy herself in the company of Andrea and her deranged brother; Avy, on the other hand, kept looking through the crowds during the game. Andrea and her brother constantly fought, but it wasn't anything horribly cruel.
Okay, maybe it was because Andrea set Avy's pet snake on him last year to see how fast it would take him to get bitten by her snake (ten seconds Avy might add). But he in return set off a bunch of dungbombs in the corridor she was walking down the very next day!
Avy noticed a blonde head, though, the seemed to be hidden in the shadows of the stands, trying to make it look like the person wasn't there at all. She studied the person to find that it was Mr. Malfoy.
Avy wondered why he wasn't with anyone else, just standing there, watching. Everyone else was with friends, talking, cheering, and yelling. He was just standing and watching, and if she squinted hard enough, he seemed to have a small smile on his face. She couldn't think whatever for though.
Andrea, who was insisting she needed to take a trip to the leu, soon distracted Avy. Draco kept on staring at Harry, who looked over once and gave him that same small smile, though no one seemed to notice that it was for Draco Malfoy, and not out of confidence.
