When Harry turned five, Albus decided that it was about time he had some lessons. Seeing which professors were free when, he made a school schedule for Harry. In the morning, Harry would go with Minerva to do Reading and Math would be done with Flitwick. Later in the day, Snape would teach him Science, and Albus would take over the History lesson.

Harry was a very bright child, though after a couple weeks Minerva noted that Harry seemed to have some trouble reading. She spoke to Albus about it, along with the possibility that he may need glasses. Even though he wasn't all for the idea of having to wear glasses, Harry didn't throw a fit over being taken to have his eyes checked. Sure enough, Minerva was right and Harry came home that night with new round glasses. After getting them, Harry realized how much easier he could read and do his work.

Things were running smoothly for Albus and Harry. Even with Harry growing up, things never changed too much. During the school year Harry could be seen walking the halls or helping one of the professors in their classrooms. There were days that he went off with Hagrid during his freetime to help the gamekeeper take care of the different creatures about the castle grounds. The Gryffindor Quidditch team let Harry come out with them once a week and fly with them. Harry could play each position fairly well, but everyone could see that he was fit for the seeker position.

Even though Harry did not have any playmates of his own age, he got along very well with the students in the castle. Of course, the Slytherins were an exception in most cases even though Harry and Severus got along fairly well. It was obvious which house Harry favored the most, Gryffindor. Some days he didn't sit at the High Table with his Papa, but instead would sit with his friends, mainly the Quidditch Team, at the Gryffindor Table.

With Harry out and about during the day and drifting off to sleep at night, Albus and Minerva slowly formed into more of a romantic relationship. They would visit every night like they had for as long as anyone could remember for the nightly chessmatch. Nobody thought any different from any of the behaviour they expressed towards one another, since they had acted like an old married couple for years now. There was always rumors about the Headmaster and the Deputy being involved, but they always died out.

Harry was an intelligent child, and could tell something was up between the two of them, but he had no clue what it was; well until one night when he was about ten years old. Waking up from a bad dream, he looked into Albus' room but it was empty. Thinking he must still be working he headed down to the office, where he walked in on Albus kissing Minerva.

"Bloody Hell," the ten year old groaned before he spun around and headed back to his room.

Minerva looked up at hearing the groan, and both her and Albus watched Harry walk away from the office.

"Looks like we've been caught, Min."

"It appears so Albus. I think I'd better head to my rooms. You may want to find out what your son wanted." Albus gave a smile when Minerva addressed Harry as 'his son', and gave her one final goodnight kiss.

"Until morning then m'lady."

After Minerva left, Albus headed into his own quarters and towards Harry's room. Walking into the room, he noticed that Harry wasn't sleeping, he was just laying there.

"I've always known there's been something between you and Minerva."

Albus chuckled. "We didn't have anything between us besides friendship until you were about two. You do not have any problem with it do you Harry?"

"Of course not Papa. You and Minerva raised me, you're both my parents. I just hope not to walk in on another snog session between the two of you."

That caused Albus to smile more. "Now what is it that you were looking for me m'boy?"

Harry's face fell a bit before he answered. " I had a nightmare again." Albus nodded in understanding. Since Harry was young he suffered from nightmares and though it had been awhile since his last one, Albus knew they still occured. They were mainly of that Halloween night, and sometimes of just the normal childhood nightmares. Albus and Harry usually would talk about the nightmare, and then Harry either went to sleep or joined Albus in his bed.

"Well, do you want to talk about it Harry?"

"Not really Papa.."

"Alright then, come on. Let's go to bed."

Harry looked at Albus for a moment, then realized what he was saying. Getting out of his bed, Harry walked with Albus into the headmaster's suite. Albus tucked Harry into his bed and then went into his bathroom to get ready. By the time he had come back out, Harry was fast asleep. Smiling sadly, Albus wondered how it would be next year when Harry was in the dorms and not in his own room. Pushing these thoughts aside, he crawled into his bed beside his son and drifted off to sleep.

a/n: Oh man, I am so sorry that I disappeared for so long. I feel horrible for doing so. And I feel worse that this chapter is kind of short with no real.. plot to it. I was kind of tired of writing Harry's childhood, though at times later in the story there may be flashbacks to his childhood.. I don't know yet... I havent decided. Anyways, I feel so bad for not being around and for not updating at all.. or even saying anything about disappearing. I am a horrible fanfic author, you should burn me at the stake.

Anyways as I beg for forgiveness, I must head out and see if I can get another chapter to this fic, or my other one started.. I beg for your forgiveness.. I am so cruel.

Love you all who are still around hoping for updates.

Wulfric.
