Chapter 3

Harry was five and it was September, his dads insisted he go to school.

It was only Wizarding primary school but it was still school. There was one in Hogsmeade, which was the village outside Hogwarts where his dads taught.

Papa walked carried him all the way to the Gates before Harry squirmed.

"Papa Want down."

"Papa I want down." Severus corrected.

Hecate's Wizarding School for Young Children.

It was an old house sort of grey but Harry was a bit scared.

"I don't really want to go." Harry said quietly.

Then there was the crack of Apparation.

There was Uncle Lucius who was holding Draco.

His friend wiggled, "Father put me down."

As soon as Draco was on the ground he ran over. "Harry! Father said you were starting." His friend held out his hand, "Come with me?"

Harry smiled shyly, ignoring his papa, "I'm coming."

Severus called out, "I'll be back at five."

"Harry waved as they ran up the stairs laughing.

Lucius shook his head, "Draco was more excited to come this year, he wanted to show Harry around and introduce him to all the teachers."

Severus chuckled, "They are best friends. I am glad Draco is so nice to him. After all, Harry's a sweet kid."

Lucius turned away. "I know."

Severus felt a little sad that Harry was growing up.

Before he could say anything Lucius was gone…

Severus shrugged and headed back to the school.

With only Astoria Greengrass the twins they didn't have as many play dates during the year that Harry had.

Instead they had to hire a baby sitter to watch them during classes.

When they wanted to go for a date, either Andromeda or Narcissa would watch them. Now that Dora was older, she was begging to watch them. She was only twelve, the twins were only two but Severus wanted to wait until she was older. She spent a lot of time in their rooms after classes.

She grew up on stories about how big of a hero Sirius was and wanted to be an Auror just like him.

The thing about death was that you glossed over one's bad sides. Sirius wasn't all bad but he'd been hurtful in school. While he didn't like Padfoot much he had learned to telerate him but he still chuckled sometimes about the time Sirius made Bella paid for bullying him.

He wondered whether it had any influence on Sirius' end?

It was something they would never know.


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.
