Chapter 2
Harry was antsy, he had been sent over to Malfoy Manor for a play date. He was going to be a big brother today; his papa promised that they would send for him when his sisters came. He often was sent on play dates while his dads taught.
He was annoyed with Greg and Vince. The slightly older boys were wrestling and mumbling insults at one another. Harry was trying to focus on building a castle with Draco's blocks.
Draco was talking or trying to talk to the strange boy with skin the colour of chocolate. It wasn't his colour that made him strange it was that his words sounded odd. Draco said that the boy whose name was Blaise was French.
Harry was upset because Draco was ignoring him. He hadn't wanted to leave his home but papa said that he'd promised and Harry wanted to be someone who kept their promises.
A house elf came to call them to lunch.
Draco finally wandered over to him.
"Hi. Sorry. Father asked me to be especially nice to Blaise. His mother is away and he's alone."
"What about his papa?"
Draco glanced at the strange boy, "His dad died when he was little. Blaise never knew him."
Harry's eyes filled with tears, "That's so sad." He lost his parents when he was a baby but he had his dad and his papa. They loved him. It sounded like Blaise was especially lonely.
Draco held his hand as they walked to the small dining room where they always ate when Harry was at the Manor.
After a lunch of chicken sandwiches without crusts and tomato soup they all headed to the nursery for naps.
Draco let Vince and Greg go off to the rooms they usually slept in.
Harry watched Blaise look around curious but nervous. He was younger than Draco but older than himself, he was sure about that.
Draco held out his hand.
Harry was not happy.
Draco led them both to his room.
Harry liked this room, the bed was made of silver wood and the headboard was carved to look like a dragon.
Draco led them both to his bed.
They all curled up together and drifted off.
Harry's last thought was about how much he enjoyed falling asleep with Draco…
XoooooX
Harry woke when he was shook gently.
"Harry, time to wake up."
Harry sat up and rubbed his eyes, "Dad?"
His dad was grinning, "Would you like to come home and meet your sisters?"
His dad had been really tired and frowned a lot. His papa had been really sick. He spent most of his time in bed. When Harry was home they took naps together. His dad didn't like it if his papa made himself more tired.
Harry grinned back, "Papa okay?
His dad's grin froze, "Madam Pomfrey says so. He'll still be very tired. He'll need us to help take care of your sisters."
"We go home now?"
His dad picked him up and hugged him, "I love you so much Harry. Don't ever forget it."
Harry wrapped his arms around his dad's neck, "I love you too."
They flooed back to the apartment they shared at Hogwarts.
His dad carried him up the stairs to the room his dads shared.
The door opened and Harry could see his papa in bed.
"Hello there Harry. Come meet your sisters."
Harry had worried he wouldn't like them. They were so beautiful. They had his dads curly hair, dad's golden eyes and his papa's black hair.
Harry climbed out his dad's arms and knelt beside his papa.
Papa still looked tired and Harry was worried.
"This is Artemis Lilith and this is Nemia Jasmine."
Harry whispered, "They are so pretty."
His papa put Artemis in his arms and showed him how to hold her.
Harry grinned at her sleepy, frowning face, "I'm your big brother."
She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"They won't do much but eat and sleep."
"I help! I promise." Harry whispered.
Harry felt safe and loved in his dad's arms as he held his sleeping sister. He didn't care that they didn't share blood. They were his sisters and Remus and Severus Prince were his dad's.
His dads shared a kiss.
Harry didn't notice that his parents were upset. He was too busy watching his sister Artemis sleep…
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
A/N- I decided to stop confusing every one- including myself. Harry's soon-to-be sisters are only three years behind him. Which fits best because when he is a Fourth Year and Draco is in Fifth, the girls are eleven. Sorry for the confusion.
