Disclaimer: These are not my characters, nor do I own Harry Potter at all. I just take them and twist things around to make myself (and whoever else) happy.

The remainder of the year flew by, and soon it was the end of July. The students had left about a month and a half ago, and as much as Harry missed seeing the kids in the halls, he was very happy to have his 'family' around him more. Uncle Sevvy would take him for walks outside, pointing out certain plants and telling Harry about different kinds of potions.

Albus would watch from his office and chuckle at the Potion Masters antics. He could not remember when he last saw Severus so, carefree and actually wanting to spend time with a child. Even more so, was since this child was that of James Potter, who Albus watched terrorize Severus all through school. It appeared that since Harry had apologized for what he had been told about Severus, that the man wanted to help Albus out whenever he could.

Minerva also was spending more time with Harry, taking him for walks both inside and out on the grounds. As Albus and Minerva would spend time together with Harry, they slowly formed a closer relationship. There had always been rumors before when the two of them were together, that infact they were a couple. Those rumors had never been true before, but now Albus felt as though he was falling into one without realizing it, not that he minded.

Albus was brought out of this thoughts as a small boy toddled though the doors with Severus and Minerva behind him. Harry went over and hopped into Albus's lap, giving a bright smile to his papa.

"And here's the birthday boy, " said Albus. "Did you have a nice walk with Minerva and Severus?" In response to the question Harry nodded his head. "Well, that's good. Would you like your presents?"

"Yes plwease," said Harry.

"Alright my boy, wait here with Severus and Minerva while I get them from my super secret hiding spot." Albus got up and went into his room, where he pulled a package from the back of his wardrobe. Walking back into his office, he saw Minerva and Severus got their gifts for Harry out as well.

"Here we go Harry, now I think your Uncle Abe sent something too, and it should be in this box as well," said Albus handing over the box. When Harry opened the gift from his papa, it appeared that Albus had shrunk all the gifts to fit into this one box until it was opened. There were a few new toys and books, as well as a stuffed goat from Uncle Abe, and some new play robes. Also in the box was a gift from Moony and Paddy, which turned out to be a stuffed wolf and a stuffed black dog.Smiling, Harry opened the last one, which had a toy broomstick in it.

"Flwy!" said Harry excitedly.

"In a little while Harry, you still have a couple gifts to open, " Albus said, a smile playing about his face.

"Here you go little one, " said Severus as he passed a gift over to Harry. Taking the gift into his hands he opened it to reveal a stuffed Slytherin snake.

"Fank you Sevvy."

"Here Harry child, I think you'll like this one as well," said Minerva handing a gift to him.

Upon opening it, it turned out to be a miniature set of Gryffindor Quidditch Robes. Harry's eyes got wide and excitedly began to babble on about his robes.

"Now Harry, you can fly and look like the team," said Minerva, who was then almost tackled back into her seat by a happy Harry. After hugging Minerva, he hugged Severus tightly as well, and then his Papa.

"Papa, go flwy?" Harry asked.

"After lunch my boy, and you can wear your new robes too."

With a wave of his wand, Albus cleaned the room up a bit and the group headed down to the Great Hall for lunch. The houseelves knew it was Harry's birthday, which was why there was a decent size cake at the Head Table. When the four entered the Hall, the other teachers that were there started singing 'Happy Birthday', which caused Harry to give a bright smile to the entire Hall. When Albus sat him down, he went to each teacher and gave them a hug, and then crawled up into his chair for lunch.

After lunch was over, Albus and Harry went back to their rooms so Harry could change robes and get his broom. Minerva and Severus headed out to the pitch and they would meet them there. Harry was no trouble to get changed, and almost pulled Albus out the door.

"Calm down Harry, we'll get there."

"Yes Papa," said Harry, slowing down.

When they walked onto the pitch, Harry mounted his broomstick and got ready to push off. He had seen many quidditch games and didn't need to be told how to mount and kickoff. Kicking off, Harry rose into the air, flying like one of the players himself. Albus, Minerva and Severus watched as Harry caused the broom to go higher than what a normal toy broom should, and then dive almost hitting the ground but pulling up at the exact right moment.

"Albus," Minerva started. " I believe he's using his magic to override the safety features on that broom." Severus just nodded with this statement as he was almost in shock at how well the two year old could fly.

" I believe you're right Min, " stated Albus. " I think I'll ask Flitwick to place some stronger charms on it."

Harry finished flying and landed expertly in front of Albus.

"Papa! I flwy!"

"Yes, m'boy, you flew and you did a very good job of it too. It's about time we went inside, you've been flying for over two hours."

Harry took Albus's hand and they headed back inside. Once in the Enterance Hall, Severus wished Harry a final 'Happy Birthday' before heading down to his rooms. Minerva told Albus she would be by later, most likely after Harry was in bed.

Later that night Minerva came by to Albus's office, indeed after Harry had been put to bed. Taking a seat across from Albus, they started their normal chess game. Minerva won, as she almost always did, and they moved to the couch to enjoy a cup of cocoa.

"You know Min, I can never thank you enough for helping me this past year almost."

"It's no trouble Albus you know that," Minerva started, but was cut off by Albus kissing her.

"I've always wanted to do that, " he said slowly. Minerva didn't think as she returned the kiss.

"And I have always wanted to do that."

Albus lowered his head and took her lips once again, and they spent the remainder of Minerva's visit snogging lightly on the couch.

a/n: Yes, ADMM goodness.. If you have a problem with that.. Too bad, I don't care. Anyways, sorry it has taken a bit to get this chapter out, I was having some problems with it, and well that's all fixed now apparently. I do not know when the next chaper will be up seeing as my school musical has started and I may as well live at the school. If there is anything that you would like to see happen within this story (other than no ADMM, and Harry being a Slytherin) place it in a review or email me, and I'll see if it would fit in with how I see the story working out..

Until next time,
