PS: My Parents have been married 24 years today. So a small presnt for them that they will most likly never see.


Well, my fathers had their date which it was really kind a cute with Dad being really nervous and father being very unlike himself. In the end had Dad cover in pasta and father cover in wine laughing up to the castle late in the afternoon.

Word quickly got around school about Harry and Draco's romance, well the fighting between Gryffindor and Slytherin got worst until the Prince… I mean Dumbledore said he would expel anyone caught fighting. Their first outing in "public" a.k.a school dance came with the sweetheart dance on Valentines Day, with Draco in sliver robes and Harry in gold made quite an entrance that night. Within a few weeks the rest of the school got use to the two of them together.

The Weasley Twin's betting pool was won by Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, Cho Chang, and Katie Bell, which Harry was embarrassed and Draco livid enough to not think before trying to pull a prank on the Weasley Twins. The prank backfired on Draco making him sit through the closing feast with a Mohawk of red and gold in honor of Gryffindor wining the house cup, again. The last day of school…

"Draco, would you stop trying to devour Harry. You'll see him in three days." Pansy said in the arms of Ron. Takeing no notice of Pansy the two boys kept on kissing with Harry's back to the train.

"Hermione, can you do anything about those two?" Pansy said jabbing her thumb twords the boys. Hermione rolled her eyes at the retreting backs of Pansy and Ron. Stalking over to the two boys, Hermion yelled, "Quidditch is canncled next year and Dolce & Gabbana is no longer making clothes."

"What?" Both boys tore their mouths away from each other to yell.

"Just kidding but you might want to get on the train." Hermione said and got on herself. It took Harry and Draco ten minutes to get to the compartment that their friends were sharing.

"Took you long enough," Terry said.

"Sorry," Harry said meekly and took a seat on his boyfriend's lap.

"It's fine now in three days we leave for Italy right?" Terry asked.

"Yes, we'll be spending the month of July travleing around Italy before we go to Paris for your weding. Then the month of August we will be sailing around the Mediterranean, while you are in Athens on your Honeymoon." Hermione said. The rest of the train ride was spent talking about the wedding or not talking as the case of Harry and Draco. Who were tired from the night before…

"Draco, Harry it's time to get up, we're at the train station in London." Hermione said softly and shook the two boys awake.

"Already," Harry questioned.

"Yes, already love." Draco whispered with just a hint of disappointment. They left the train in search of their families. Remus and Sirius were standing near Narcissa waiting for them.

"Three days," Harry said.

"Seventy-two hours," Draco said.

"Four thousand three hundred twenty minutes," Harry said.

"Three long days," Draco said turning to Harry and pushed him up against the train to ravish his mouth.

"Well, look at that," Narcissa said pointing to the two boys. Remus and Sirius looked over to where Narcissa was pointing to Draco and Harry.

"How many points did we have to take away from those two?" Sirius asked.

"How long has this been going on?" Narcissa said with her hands on her hips.

"Umm…Since we got back from Christmas brake, Cissy," Sirius said.

"You didn't tell me! I should hex you to Mars and back, Eugene Sirius Black." Narcissa said.

"Cissy, Not the full name," Sirius begged.

"Yes, the full name Eugene," Narcissa said, "I'm going to need to start making wedding plans for them for next year."

"What why?" Sirius and Remus asked.

"Come on Draco has never introduced me to any of his prospects before going for them. This prospect he is very serious about and by the looks of things Harry's pretty serious about him too." Narcissa said with a smirk.

"I wonder how the two of them are going to take the news, of our change of plans for the summer." Remus asked.

"I guess we need to go," Harry whispered snuggling into Draco's arms more.

"Three days is way too long, I'm going to be sleeping like shit for the next three nights." Draco said, "Want a ride?"

"In public, Draco? I didn't know you were so kinky." Harry said with a smile.

"Brat," Draco said lovingly, "Have you never had a piggy back ride?"

"No," Harry said.

"Well climb on my back," Draco said crouching down. Harry got on and was whisked away to where their family was standing. Draco set Harry down in front Sirius and Remus.

"Hello, Draco and Harry," Narcissa said.

"Hello mum," Draco said giving his mother a hug.

"Hello Mrs. Malfoy," Harry said shaking her hand.

"Call me mum, Harry." Narcissa said with a smirk.

"Would you mind if I just called you Narcissa?" Harry asked.

"Not at all just don't call me Mrs. Malfoy, I'm no longer married to that…I forget myself, please forgive me." Narcissa said.

"Well, we have some good news and some bad news, Harry." Remus said.

"What is it?" Harry asked with nervousness.

"Well bad news is The Den isn't finished yet, good news is Narcissa has kindly agreed to house us until we go to Italy." Sirius said.

"You get to see the manor," Draco said picking up Harry and swinging him in circles.

"Come on you two let's go home." Narcissa said holding out a necklace with the Malfoy crest upon the locket. Everyone touched the chain and was in front of a grand brick English manor house with Ivy covering a wall on the right. A house elf stood at the door ushering the weary travelers in. The house elf took the boys things before they could blink. Narcissa and Draco led the group to a sitting room where tea and a banner with the words 'Welcome Home Draco and Harry' were waiting for them.

"It's good to be home," Draco said flopping onto his favorite couch and pulling Harry down on to his lap. Narcissa raised her eyebrows to Sirius and Remus, whom just smiled back at her.

Narcissa grilled both boys on their school year and how they became a couple. The story of their first date had her in tears. Remus added in the times he caught them ditching classes to snog. Harry and Draco were red from embarrassment.

"Don't we all need to get ready for dinner?" Draco asked standing up quickly.

"Drat, it's our turn this year," Narcissa said quickly leaving the room for the kitchen.

"That tradition is still going on?" Sirius said fallowing his cousin to the kitchen.

"What tradition?" Remus said fallowing his boyfriend.

"What he said," Harry said turning to Draco.

"I'll tell you on the way up," Draco said taking Harry's hand.

"Aunt, Uncle, I would like you to met Hermione Granger and her parents, Doctor Jane Granger and Doctor Basil Timothy Granger." Blaise said introducing his Aunt Sana and Uncle Gino to the Granger's.

"It's very nice to meet you Doctors and Hermione. Blaise has told us all about you." Sana said leading them into a sitting room. The Granger took a couch across from Sana and Gino. Hermione and Blaise took a love seat to the left of the group facing the fireplace.

"Ah, Tink good girl," Sana said seeing the house elf come in with the tea tray.

"What is Tink?" Basil Granger asked looking like Arthur Weasley does when he gets a new muggle invention.

"Mum, Dad that is a house elf. They work at Hogwarts or for old wizarding families and can pop up any where they are needed." Hermione said softly.

"Very good, Miss Granger," Gino said with a thick Italian accent.

"Thank you, sir," Hermione said.

"That's our Hermione for you. Quick as a whip," Basil said giving his only daughter a smile.

"That she is, Blaise has told me she is first in her class, how do you do it, Hermione? With the adventures you have been on with Harry Potter." Sana asked politely with a dash of superiority.

"Easy, unlike my two friends I do my homework the day it's given to me instead of cramming the night before. As you have said the adventures have helped me stay on task through out my schooling." Hermione said with an edge to her tone.

"She is remarkably bright, Aunt. She has helped me even raise my grades a bit." Blaise said putting an arm around Hermione.

"We should be getting ready for dinner at The Malfoy's." Sana said stiffly.

"Very well Aunt I'll show where The Granger Family can get ready," Blaise said standing up.

"I need to speak with you, Blaise," Gino said snapping his fingers to have Tink appear, "Tink would you take the good Doctors and Miss Granger to where they can change and stay to help Doctor and Miss Granger if they need any."

The house elf bowed and tugged on Hermione's hand. The Granger's fallowed the elf out of the room leaving Blaise and his uncle, as his aunt had left with the Grangers to change.

"What are your intentions towards Hermione?" Gino asked.

"I want to marry her, I want her as the mother to my children, and I want to grow old and gray with her." Blaise said with a sigh.

"I thought so. Your aunt doesn't approve of her because of her being a muggle born."

"I know she doesn't. That is why I wanted her to meet Hermione and her parents. She is such a bright girl who once you get past her exterior of bookworm you'll see a woman that is welling to give her own life to protect another. She almost had to do just that for Harry. Uncle give your blessing, I'll continue this with or with out you approval. I'm in love with her." Blaise said.

"You have my blessing, Blaise. She'll be able to keep your mother in line when she gets back from her newest marriage." Gino said with an indulgent smile.

"That she will, oh I forgot to tell you, Hermione's right hook…watch out for it." Blaise said with a cheeky grin and left to get ready.

"Oh she'll do just fine," Gino said with a rueful smile.

"What tradition is this?" Harry asked flopping onto Draco's bed. Draco's room was painted in blues and greens it has an airy feel with his window opening to look over a pond and in the distance you could see the Quidditch pitch.

"It's a dinner celebrating the birthdays that happened over the school year and welcoming Pansy, Blaise, Nott, Golye, Crabbe and myself home. It's been going on since the turn of the century. Each year it's at a different home, it was going to be at Nott's home this year but with what happened last summer…So what to put you in?" Draco said tapping his chin and pulling out robes, pants and dress shirts.

"Is this a dress robe dinner?" Harry asked horror struck.

"No, try this on," Draco said shoving a midnight blue robe with out selves, a dress shirt of the same color and black dress pants. Harry putting on the clothes diligently as Draco got ready beside him.

"Prefect Harry, I'm glad the sleeveless robes came into style in time for summer." Draco said fixing Harry's hair.

"No, wonder you are Pansy's best friend." Harry said batting Draco's hands away.

"Cute, Potter," Draco said as there was a knock on the door and Narcissa poked her head in and said, "The Zabini's are here a long with The Granger's."

"Alright mum, we'll be right behind you." Draco said while placing the lord of the manor ring on his right hand. Taking Harry's hand in his left one, Draco led the way to the grand stairs leading to the foyer, where Blaise and Hermione waited with their family.

"Harry, what are you doing here?" Hermione said hugging her friend.

"The Den isn't ready, so Narcissa graciously is letting me, Sirius, and Remus stay here until our trip." Harry said.

"Harry, it is, 'Sirius, Remus and I. Not, me, Sirius, and Remus," Draco says to Harry as Pansy and her family enter the foyer. Pansy moved to where the young adults where standing after saying her hello's to the adults.

"Hello again everyone, I'm surprised to see Blaise dragged you here, Hermione." Pansy said.

"Well, when you are asked to meet the boy's family, you just go a long with what they ask you." Hermione said with a small laugh.

"Isn't that the truth, what are you doing here, Harry? I thought you'd be moping around your house by now." Pansy said.

"Change of plans," Harry said with a shrug.

"So where is Ron?" Draco asked.

"With his family, he has to do some government dinners with his parents before we leave." Pansy said.

"I'm so glad I'm not him right now." Harry said. The confirmation was heard around the small group. The students talked about their up coming trip in Italy.

"So Narcissa, when are you going to start looking for a respectable young lady for Draco?" Cashlin Parkinson asked sipping a glass of white wine.

"He is lord of the manor now Cashlin, he will chose his own bride." Narcissa said lightly.

"Aren't you going to nip this thing with Mr. Potter in the bud, before next summer?"

"As I said before Cashlin, he will choose whom ever he pleases to spend the rest of his life with." Narcissa said with a bite to her words.

"Dinner is served," a house elf says to the group.

The rest of the night is boring, with Cashlin Parkinson telling Narcissa all about the girls on the continent that would be a good match for Draco. She even gave tips to Sirius and Remus whom to look for Harry. Until Sirius lost his cool half way through dinner and bit Cashlin's head off. I wish I could have been there to see it. It's not the same watching something in a Pensive. Cashlin and Pansy left quickly after that but Pansy was back a few moments later with her things to spend the night…

"Another tradition," Harry asked Draco.

"Yep, Pansy and I have been doing it since we were kids. Blaise are you staying?" Draco asked his friend.

"Miss a Malfoy sleepover, never!" Blaise said.

"Hermione why don't you stay as well," Pansy said.

"I second that," Draco said.

"Mum, Dad," Hermione questioned her parents.

"Go ahead honey; we'll meet you for lunch at the house tomorrow. The day before you leave we will need to go shopping for the summer." Jane Granger said kissing Hermione's forehead. Hermione went home and was back before anyone could move.

The next day found Harry and Draco doing homework and relaxing around the Quidditch Pitch. The adults told many stories of their own summer holidays, which had booth boys in stitches. Summer moved by with a slow pace with the kids being reunited on the first of July in Naples, Italy. They moved through Italy at a sedate pace seeing all that Italy had to offer. Stopping in Florence for a week the kids along with Remus, Sirius and Narcissa, went shopping for Harry's birthday which they would celebrate in Verona at the Malfoy estate.

"That's the Duomo; a church that was finished in 1367, but was truly finished in 1436 after the dome and exteriors were finished." Draco said pointing to the domed building they saw from their Hotel window. Harry turned in Draco's arms and snuggled deeper into them.

"Harry, pay attention," Draco said.

"No," Harry said lifting his head from Draco shoulder.

"You uncultured swine," Draco said lovingly placing a kiss on top of Harry's head.

"You still love me," Harry said with a crooked smile.

"That I do, Harry." Draco said as Harry and He watched the sun rise over the church. Later that day found the group shopping for different things, while Harry, Sirius, Ron, and Terry went to a Quidditch match, England vs. Italy. Draco and Blaise were on the Ponte Vecchio in one of the many jewelry shops on the bridge.

"Draco, look at this one," Blaise said pointing out a ring with gold and sliver woven band with a one caret diamond in the center, a ruby to the left and an emerald to the right.

"It's the prefect one for Hermione. Not to elaborate, not simple and it shows what lengths it took you to be together." Draco said looking at the ring with a critical eye.

"Do you think it is too soon to be asking her?" Blaise asked Draco as they were having lunch by the Arno River.

"Do you love her?" Draco asked.

"Yes,"

"Can you see yourself having children with her?"

"Yes,"

"Can you see yourself growing old with her?"

"Yes and yeah to any more of your questions, I want to marry her." Blaise said.

"Then there you go. Oh Merlin, I have been with Harry to long I'm starting to use his expressions." Draco said putting his head into his hands.

"Oh give it up Draco," Blaise said laughing at his friends antics. Across the river in the wizarding section of Florence found the women gossiping as they shopped for Harry's birthday.

"How about this one," Hannah held up for Pansy's critical eye.

"No, too yellow," Pansy said as she searched high and low for the right colored silk for Harry's birthday present.

"What about this one," Narcissa said holding up a bolt of green silk that matched Harry's eyes perfectly.

"I love you, Narcissa." Pansy said jumping down from where she was looking.

"Pansy dear don't you think it's a bit of a cliché that you are getting Harry a cloak, to match his eyes." Hermione asked.

"No, why," Pansy said.

"Pansy everyone does. Even Molly Weasley, he told me once that if he gets another green piece of clothing that matches his eyes. He is going to gouge them out with a spoon." Hermione said.

"Why a spoon?" Pansy asked.

"Because it's dull you twit, it'll hurt more." Hermione and Mandy said together laughing.

"Mind clueing us in?" Hannah asked taping her foot.

"It's from a movie," Hermione said wiping her eyes, "Now Pansy what about a blue color it'll bring his eyes out even more."

"God, Krum has gotten better since the world cup!" Ron said jumping up and down.

"Calm down, Ron." Harry said laughing at his friend.

"He makes you look like an amateur, Harry." Ron said waving his arms around.

"Thanks, Ron," Harry drawled watching his friend. He snorted as Ron ran straight into the person in front of him.

"I'm sorry," Ron said and looked up from the ground, "Oh Merlin, Guinevere and Arthur, it's you."

"Hello, Ron," Victor Krum said holding out his hand to the boy. Ron took the offered hand and was pulled up. Brushing himself off as he blushed a deep red.

"Hey Victor," Harry said holding out his hand to the Quidditch player. Victor shook it hardly.

"What are you doing in Italy?" Victor asked.

"I'm on Holiday with my godfather and my friends from school." Harry said.

"Where is the lovely Hermione?" Victor asked.

"Shopping with my boyfriend's mother I suppose. Let's get out of this sun." Harry said. The group, re-grouped in a pub about twenty minutes later.

"Now what is this about a boyfriend? Last time I heard about your love life it was there wasn't one." Victor said.

"Thanks, Vicky. Before I answer your question I want to introduce you to my Godfather Sirius Black and his boyfriend Remus Lupin. This is Terry Boot formally of Ravenclaw now he is in Unity. You know Ron," Harry said pointing to each person. Victor shook hands with each person and turned his eyes back to Harry.

"Harry, stop stalling." Victor said.

"Ok, well there was the train wreck of a date with Cho in my fifth year which definitely made up my mind which team I play for. Then you know what went down last summer with everything. So I go back to Hogwarts in September not two days later I'm in a verbal spar with Draco Malfoy. You remember him, blond hair, sliver eyes, a sneer that could make a first year wet its pants." Harry said as Victor shook his head no.

"Never mind, well we as in Hermione, Ron and I are thrown into a new house with three people from each of the houses, to work on being a unified school. Lots of alcohol, I mean a lot. Three school dances, a ball, Draco making the first move and a horrible first date, later has me hopelessly in love with the guy." Harry said and drank the last of his butter beer.

"There you are, Victor." A deep voice said from the doorway. The person walked over to Victor and gave him a kiss.

"Hello, Oliver." Victor said with a smile to his boyfriend, Oliver Wood.

"Oliver!" Harry and Ron yelled shocked. Oliver whips his head around to stare at the two stunned young men.

"What are you two doing here?" Oliver asked. The group talked late into the afternoon catching up and trading tips. The boys could have stayed there long if it wasn't for Remus reminding them of dinner, which Harry impulsively invited Oliver and Victor to. As they arrived at the restaurant, Harry had Victor and Oliver wait outside until he said the word.

"Harry how was your day?" Draco asked kissing him on the cheek.

"The game was great Krum won and I ran into old friends." Harry said the magic words and Victor and Oliver walked in.

"Oh my god, Victor!" Hermione said running into the arms of her good friend.

"How are you Hermione?" Victor asked.

"I'm good come sit I want you to meet my boyfriend, Blaise." Hermione said pulling him over to a fuming Blaise.

"Victor this is Blaise Zabini, Blaise this is Victor Krum." Hermione said clearly excited to see her old friend. Blaise gruffly took Victor's hand and shook it.

"Careful there, Blaise, You don't want to damage my catching hand," Victor said trying to lighten the mood that had fallen around the three of them.

"Sorry about that," Blaise said.

"No worries," Victor said walking over to where Oliver was talking with Harry, Mandy, and Ron.

"You can clam down Blaise, you remember Oliver Wood right? That's his boyfriend; they have been dating since before the Triwizard Tournament." Hermione said.

"Oh sorry about that," Blaise said looking sheepish.

Blaise said his sorry about the misunderstanding with Victor. Victor and Oliver had everyone charmed all night long, the youngsters dancing into the wee hours of the morning. Before long they moved to the next city Venice where on the last night there Blaise popped the question. Duh, what else did Aunt Hermione say? Word came to them while in Venice that the manor in Verona where they were going to spend Harry's birthday had earthquake damage and couldn't be used.

Narcissa just shrugged her shoulders and changed plans so they spent the last two weeks of their Holiday in Rome…

"Happy Birthday dear, Harry! Happy Birthday to you!" The group sung very off key.

"Thank you everyone!" Harry said before blowing out his candles. The cake was served up to the group of friends including the Weasley family, Dumbledore, Tonks, Victor, and Oliver.

"Ok, this is not just my party. It has to be Terry's as well as the poor man in three days will be married while the rest of us are finishing school and acting our age. To Terry for this will most likely be the last time he is at a party as a single man and men you know what that means…STAG PARTY!" Harry yelled.

"I don't need a Stag party honest guys." Terry said as the Weasley Twins lifted him into the air and Sirius charmed a ball and chain on to his left leg. The girls rolled their eyes while they sent warnings to the boys to be back before three am and left the boys to do what boys do on a Stag night.

They donned togas, crawled from pub to pub, before at two thirty Terry passed out not before emptying the continents of his stomach in front of the Coliseum.

There is still a stain where that happened, grandpa Sirius pointed it out to me my first time in Rome and I took pictures of it. I know gross but very funny. Let's see Paris...

"Guys would you please take this thing off!" Terry said the day of his wedding holding the ball and chain.

"Should we let him go boys?" Charlie asked.

"Yes," The group of boys said glumly. The group include: Harry, all the Weasley's, Terry's cousins, Draco and Blaise. Charlie waved his wand and the ball and chain was removed to sit in the corner.

"Thank you, God. Did you have to leave it on for three days?" Terry asked rubbing his chaffed ankle.

"Mine was on for five days," Bill said.

"Mine was on for two but I only had two brothers." Arthur said scratching his chin.

"I have no brothers!" Terry said indignantly.

"You have three male cousins don't you?" Bill asked.

"Yes, you see them…right…there…I HATE YOU ALL!" Terry said storming out of the room.

"So are you three going to prank your cousin by any chance?" George asked throwing his arm around the shortest of the three boys who's name is James.

"We've been told not to." James said shyly who was going into his first year of Hogwarts the next month.

"We'll, dear James, do you know what white out is?" George asked.

The girls spent the morning together getting ready and talking with each other. Hermione, Ginny and Molly were with Camille as they were getting Gabby ready for her big day.

"How did her propose?" Gabby asked Hermione as she had her hair done. Her hair was going up into a simple bun.

"On a gondola, we spent the whole night just being pushed around. Her looked into my eyes and asked me to marry him." Hermione said looking at her ring.

"How romantic," Gabby sighed. They talked about everything but the wedding until fifteen minutes before Gabby was to walk down the aisle.

"Gabrelle it's time." Camille said to her daughter. Gabby stood and held her arms up as her dress was lowered on to her.

The dress had a sweetheart neck line, with a train of ten feet. The dress was made out of white silk imported from Japan. On her train had symbols of both her and Terry's families, most of the train was detachable to leave the Delacour-Roux crest on the fishtail. Gabby turned around

"I can't believe my baby sister is getting married." Fleur said with tears in her eyes.

"Fleur, don't cry, you'll make me cry." Gabby said hugging her sister and spoke in French to each other, until it was time for the women to leave her.

They said their vows; they danced the night away and left for Greece the very next day. At the same time found Unity house along with the Adults, Fred and George boarding a yacht to spend the last month of summer holidays sailing around the Mediterranean Sea. There are few things you never crash a funeral, a baptism, and a honeymoon… I was never aloud to view the memories of my parents of them crashing Terry's honeymoon. I was told it wasn't pretty.
