Chapter 13: A New Years Performance

HPOV:(December 31st)

As quickly as Christmas had come it was over in the blink of an eye, and soon we had rolled up to the day of new years. Everyone around town was excited as people were buzzing about their plans for the night. Some commenting on how they'll be partying and others talk of spending time with their other half. Me and Sev, on the other hand, will once again be hosting for our little group. I had sent Sev out to collect fireworks as I went for the groceries for dinner, knowing not to go a bit overboard since everyone had volunteered to bring something as a potluck. As i got to the store i picked up the few things i needed and was on my way back to the house when i bumped into someone.

"Oh i'm so sorry i wasn't paying attention." i said as i look to see who i ran into and gasp surprised. It was Dudley.

"Dudley what are you doing all the way over on this side of London?" i asked.

"W-well looking for you actually. I wanted to apologize for all those years i treated you badly i was just jealous. Can you ever forgive me Harry?" i smiled.

"Of course Dudley i forgive you. Would you like to join me and my family for New Years? I'd love for them to get to know you." Dudley smiled as he said,

" i'd like that Harry, mum and dad kicked me out when you disappeared and i wanted to go look for you."

"you wanted to look for me? Really?" i asked surprised that he cared back then.

"Yeah, Draco had come to get your stuff and said your relationship had ended and you were devastated . i wanted to make sure you were alright." i look down.

"I was. I ended up raising my daughter alone. But Draco helped a lot. But none of that matters now. Sev and i are engaged and are going to have a baby." i rest my hand on my belly smiling a little.

"That's great Harry! I'm so happy for you guys." Dudley said smiling.

"Why don't we head to my place and you can help me get dinner started."

"alright."

SPOV:(A few minutes later)

I heard the door open and knew Harry was home with the groceries,so i went to the hallways to help him. Once i got there i was surprised to see who was with him. It was Dudley his awful cousin.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" i growled and pulled Harry behind me protectively not wanting anything to happen to him or our unborn child.

"Harry invited me to come to your party" Dudley said shaking. "It's true love i did. He apologized for everything and wants to start over and be apart of our family." my love said and i looked at him surprised.

"Are you sure about this? After everything he and his parents did to you?" i asked worried not wanting him to get hurt again.

"Yes sev i'm sure i want our kids to know him." i look back at Dudley and sigh.

"Fine you can stay but if you hurt Harry i will make sure you are punished." i threatened him and i walk upstairs leaving them to talk for a bit.

HPOV:(a few minutes before midnight)

So far the party has been going great! Everyone has been really nice to Dudley and my princess and little wolf love him and i think Dudley has become an uncle of sorts to them. I laughed as Mira started to show him her book collection. I then felt Sev put his hand on my shoulder and i smiled knowing it was time for our surprise. I stood up and everyone turned to look at us.

"Well it's almost midnight everyone but before it is Sev and i would like to give our kids something special before they go back to Hogwarts. As you guys know i love to sing, but you haven't heard me sing with the love of my life so we'd like to sing a song that we hold close to our heart." i turn to Sev and he places his hand on my cheek and begins to sing as the music starts.

Severus:No more talk of darkness

Forget these wide-eyed fears

I'm here, nothing can harm you

My words will warm and calm you

Let me be your freedom

Let daylight dry your tears

I'm here, with you, beside you

To guard you and to guide you

I smiled softly as i took his free hand and sang my part.

Harry: Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment

Turn my head with talk of summertime

Say you need me with you now and always

Promise me that all you say is true

That's all I ask of you

I looked up at Sev and saw that he was smiling as he sang his next part.

Severus:Let me be your shelter

Let me be your light

You're safe, no one will find you

Your fears are far behind you

I felt tears start to form as i sang only seeing him.

Harry: All I want is freedom

A world with no more night

And you, always beside me

To hold me and to hide me

I couldn't believe after everything we were finally together and happy. I smiled as i listened to him sing one of my favorite parts of the song.

Severus: Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime

Let me lead you from your solitude

Say you need me with you, here beside you

Anywhere you go, let me go too

That's all I ask of you

I wrapped my arms around his neck smiling as i sang.

Harry: Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime

Say the word and I will follow you

He wrapped his arms around me as we sang the last part.

Both:Share each day with me, each night, each morning

Harry:Say you love me

Severus: You know I do

Both:Love me, that's all I ask of you

Love me, that's all I ask of you (Author's note: song is All I Ask of you from Phantom of the Opera)

As we finished Sev pulled me in for a kiss as everyone cheered. I couldn't help but smile knowing i was finally happy. As midnight came the couples in the room shared a kiss and i couldn't help think of what all this new year would bring us and how i couldn't wait to spend the rest of my life with the man i love.
