Harry awoke to the feeling of sunlight warming his face, strong arms wrapped around his torso and the gentle swaying of a rising and falling chest. Blinking wearily the emerald-eyed young-man, rubbed the sleep from his eyes and rested his chin on his lover's sternum. Harry smiled as he watched Draco, deep in slumber.

It was mid-July, just a week and a half from Harry's seventeenth birthday, and he already knew it would be the best one yet. You see, when Percy was sentenced to only 15 years in Azkaban Draco knew he had to bring Harry somewhere that he would feel safe. So using what little was left from his savings the blonde-haired wizard purchased a quaint villa on the southern coast of Greece just by Aghios Stefanos. So far the two young men had spent all of their summer there, and to Harry... it was paradise.

The villa had quickly become their home… both male's personal belongings filling up the spaces that were cold and impersonal. They had spent a week painting each room different warm shades, putting up photos, and buying a bit of furniture. Draco had a bit of adjusting, what with all the muggle appliances and such, but he quickly adapted and even started enjoying some of the more mundane activities; such as weeding the vegetable garden and straightening up the living room. Neither was looking forward to leaving their wonderful home in order to return to Hogwarts for their final year. But both knew it was a necessity if they desired to continue living well.

Hearing the laughter of children outside, Harry returned to reality and pressed his lips against his intendeds, fantasizing about filling up the other three bedrooms with his and Draco's children.

The raven-haired boy smirked as his silver-eyed companion slowly woke and began returning the kiss. Maybe another year at Hogwarts wouldn't be too bad… not if it means coming back here after graduation. Harry smiled softly before snuggling into his love's side and going back to bed. As sleep enclosed him he gave one last wicked smirk when he heard…

"Baby you did not just wake me up like that just to go back to sleep."

Well I hope you all liked the story! Sorry for how long some of my updates took… especially this one. Writer's Block's a bitch. Anywhoo, I hope you enjoyed the overly sappy ending. And for any that care, Abnormal Occurrences is on hold until I can revamp it.

Also, I will be continuing with Oh Baby shortly.

AND! I have ANOTHER story coming out as I have finish with this one. I'm not certain who the pairing will be as it won't show up until the sequel, but here's a little taste for you….

Prologue

The sounds of an overused engine reverberated off of the surrounding trees of Werik Forest, early this morning of November 1st; Animals scampered into their burrows, birds took to the skies, and even the few crickets that were still awake silenced their song.

A dark brown vehicle came to a quick, screeching stop at the edge of the forest before an abnormally large man clambered out of the driver's side door pulling a rather lumpy looking blanket behind him. Rushing into the woods, the man moved quickly onto the bank of Werik River, throwing the blanket into the water, causing a great splash… and the sound of a child's fearful cry…

This story is untitled as of yet, but should be appearing within the next few months. Check my bio for details. Anywhoo… REVIEW!
