AN Please show some support with a review. Only two chapters left and looking for a way to wrap it up.
Harry and Severus were drawn apart in shock by the voice behind them. Severus had not thought to use any privacy spells. He may have joked about outing them but he hadnt done it intentionally. He wasnt going to convince the lion to be with him by forcing his hand. But he had thought everyone was busy with the wedding reception and would not notice they were even gone. There was some risk considering Harry was easy to notice missing but he had let that thought slip. He could see the panic in Harry as they turned towards the voice and he wasn't certain his own feelings. He was simply happy they were both dressed.
Sirius was standing behind them with Lucius of all people. It seemed almost as an odd couple as the one they had walked in on. Sirius had known Harry and Severus had acted on the attraction but it was the first time he had seen them.
Harry ignored Lucius and looked at his dad. "Siri its not what it looks like I promise. Please dont be angry with me."
Sirius came over to his son. "I know you and Severus hooked up."
Harry looked at him in confusion. "Tonight but…."
Sirius cut him off. "I am not as blind as you and my husband think. I have known for some time."
Harry was shocked. "You know?"
Sirius kissed his head. "And I am not angry with you. And I havent hexed him."
Severus grumbled under his breath. "Not that he hasn't threatened to do so."
Sirius turned to look at him. "And I will keep to if you ever hurt my son."
Harry was still shaken. "You really aren't mad? He is your age and you hate him, and….."
Sirius sighed. "I can't lie and say I didn't wish you chose someone closer to you in age."
Harry knew that. "I know he is your age. I was more worried about….."
"That I called him Snivellus." Sirius finished for him. "I have been told you can not always choose who you fall for."
Severus smirked. "I believe your husband told me that more then once."
Sirius returned the smirk. "I could say the same thing about friends."
Remus appeared and answered for himself. "If I listened to either you I'd be single and without one dear friend."
Harry looked at Remus. "What are you….."
Remus turned to him. "The guests are starting to notice you and my husband are gone. I thought you'd rather avoid the rest."
Harry blushed when he realized Remus knew about them too. "You knew?"
Remus pulled his son into a hug. "I did. Though I warned him to wait until the potion wore off."
Severus grumbled under his breath. "I never thought dating came with so much parental advice."
Harry assured his dad. "We did."
Sirius eyed his husband. "You knew? That they were out here?"
Remus shrugged. "I saw them both leave. I thought to give them some time before I nudged you out here."
Sirius and Harry both knew what he was implying by that. Sirius had a feeling his son may have been doing more before he had arrived. Remus had made the comment he had not seen his son in some time. Lucius had decided to accompany Sirius. He had not been as fond of parties as his wife was and needed air. Or so he had told Sirius. Unlike Harry's dads, there was one person who was in complete shock. Draco had not been loose lipped about the potion with his parents to spare Severus the meddling.
Remus reminded his new husband and son they needed to get back to the party. If they didn't return soon they would have the likes of Narcissa and Molly descending on them. The men were leaving soon anyways for a night at a hotel. Lucius and Narcissa arranged it and were sending the men on a second honeymoon that summer. This one would be just the two for the entire trip.
Lucius looked at Severus when they were alone. "Come out to look at the horses did you?"
Severus eyed his brother. "We both know you aren't a fool Luc so don't play one."
Lucius leaned against a wall. "Potter? You do realize my wife considers him a nephew?"
Severus had. "Going to play the protective Uncle card on me are you?"
Lucius chuckled a bit. "Are you going to call me Uncle Lucius?"
Severus didn't find that funny. "You were the one who convinced me I should date."
Lucius didn't deny that. "Though I don't recall suggesting you look among your students for a date."
Severus shrugged. "You did accuse me of being a work-aholic. Suggest I date Filiius?"
Lucius didn't find that funny. "There is a whole town just outside the school. I should be grateful it wasn't my son."
Severus heard the tinge of humor in the last part. "I am quite certain my nephew was safe."
Lucius smiled a tad. "Oh don't think I didn't notice you eye the boy before. How did we get you to finally hook up?"
Severus admitted. "Can thank Nott for that one. There was a small potion explosion."
Lucius listened to the story. "You may want to leave our son out of the story if you tell my wife."
Severus didn't think it an issue. "Your wife knows her son is no innocent. A playboy like his father before you two hooked up."
Lucius didn't deny that. "I'd be more worried that her son was involved in an explosion and she was not informed."
Severus reminded him. "I am his third guardian. Besides he is a grown man."
Lucius corrected him. "A minor while in school and you know that would not save you."
Severus knew he was right. "I am worried enough about surviving her finding out I am dating her nephew."
Lucius led him out of the stables. "I think we can keep that from her for now."
He was relieved to hear that. He considered the woman family and he hoped she would accept it well. Lucius he had not been too worried about. He knew the Weasleys would be the biggest hurdle for him. Harry considered them more family then the Blacks even though he was an adopted Black. Molly and Arthur would mean almost as much to him as his dads did. Severus could hope the couple could be reasonable when they found out. He thought the sons would be good about it if Harry was happy. Well Ron was another matter but he never thought the brat was reasonable about most things.
Narcissa smiled when Harry and his dads came back. "I was worried the three of you had run off."
Sirius grunted. "The thought had crossed our mind."
Remus cut in. "The evening is drawing to a close."
Andromeda came over. "We have the name of your hotel for the night."
Sirius kissed his cousin on the cheek. "Thank you."
Narcissa looked at Harry. "Of course Harry will be staying."
Harry grumbled a bit. "I should head to school."
Narcissa turned to him. "A room has been made up for you for the night. And it is late to head back."
Andromeda came to her sister's aid. "I am sure you would enjoy a ride tomorrow."
Sirius saw Harry's look and laughed as he went to lead his husband off. "I am glad our son is in such safe hands while we go."
Harry shot him a nasty look. "Traitor."
Remus whispered to his son as he hugged him. "Play nice or we could let your Aunt in on the little secret."
That shut Harry up quickly. "Have a good night."
The other guests saw the couple off and they started heading out. Harry found himself led up to a guest room in the main wing of the manor. He knew he had a dozen or so manors between Black and Potter, here and abroad, but the coastal home was the only one they explored. His dad had no desire to live in one of the massive homes any more then his husband or son did. The coastal home though had always been a nice retreat and had good childhood memories. There was a home in Scotland he liked and would show Harry one day. Harry was a bit surprised he didn't have company in night that bed.
As he drifted off to sleep he thought. "I wonder if someone locked him in his room for the night."
Harry had found himself in a riding lesson the next morning after breakfast. It was the first time he had been with Lucius since the man had walked in on them. He was reminded Lucius was related to him by marriage and adoption, and his wife saw Harry as a nephew. But he also happened to be best friends with the man Harry had been in the barn with. He had no idea how Lucius had reacted to them as he had seen Severus and Lucius remain behind. But he wasn't going to find out that day. Tonks and Draco both joined them for a ride. Tonks had been riding since she was young and she borrowed one of the extra horses in the stables. She and her parents had stayed at the manor the night before. Narcissa thought it would make Harry feel more comfortable.
Harry was happy to get back to school in time for lunch. He was tempted to ask his dad about moving the horse to their home with stables. He didn't want to insult the couple but he wasn't sure how comfortable he was riding there and he loved his horse. He was still not sure how they had taken him being with Severus. Well Lucius for Narcissa didn't know yet.
Harry didn't head straight to school but was headed for town. He was surprised when he was stopped. "What are you doing?"
Severus turned him around. "No one is around just yet."
Harry looked at the man. "I am shocked you didn't come to my bed."
Severus smiled. "You sound like you missed me?"
Harry tried to deny it. "You were the one who said you would."
Severus smirked. "I was worried about Lucius."
Harry reminded him. "He knows and you came out alive. Besides you are his best friend."
Severus grimaced. "He has jumped on the Uncle band wagon with Ted. He seems oddly protective."
Harry could almost find it funny. "Worried your best friend would hex you?"
Severus didn't find it amusing. "It is usually fathers you have to worry about. I heard him mutter about chastity belts."
Harry chuckled a little at that. "For you or me? Maybe he was talking about Draco."
Severus laughed a tad at that. "Oh it was aimed at me. Blaise he approves of. Something about age."
Harry turned to head into town. "Maybe I should have told them sooner."
Severus stopped him. "And why would you do that?"
Harry shrugged. "Could have stopped you sooner?"
The man pulled him in close and Harry could feel the man's breath on his neck. "You were missing me last night."
Harry moaned as the man's mouth attacked his neck. "I don't believe I said that."
Severus came up for air. "Oh you did. And now we have been outed there is really no reason to hide."
Harry turned to look at him. "I want more then sex."
Severus ran a hand down him. "Now Lucius knows if I don't marry you they may never find my body."
Harry didn't find it funny. "I don't want you to be with me because you are scared of my family."
Severus reminded him again. "How many times do I have to say it, if I was scared of your family I'd have stayed away."
Harry knew he had a point but he was still having trouble with this. He was still having trouble believing the man could want a future with him. He was Harry's teacher and the same age as Harry's dads and his birth parents. Heck he was like a brother to his mother. Severus laughed when Harry said that and pointed out that many men liked a younger man. Most people would wonder instead why Harry was into a man old enough to be his father. Severus was starting to wonder if it was Harry.
Harry eyed the man when he said that. Severus pointed out his best friend and godson knew about them though Harry reminded him neither had been intentional. Harry had yet to tell anyone and maybe that was because he didn't want more.
Harry smirked. "Fine come with me."
Severus was confused. "Where are we going?"
Harry had a small smile. "I was meeting my brothers for lunch."
Severus winced a tad at that. "I assume you mean the twins."
Harry shrugged. "To start with. If you really mean it you should be happy to join."
Severus looked like for a moment he would change his mind. "Don't let it be said I ever backed away from a challenge."
Harry was surprised. "George is having all of us for lunch at his flat."
Severus eyed him. "All of us?"
He got a response but not from Harry. "All the brothers. But we weren't expecting our former teacher."
Harry turned to see Charlie and Percy. "George said he invited you but wasn't sure you were coming."
Percy answered as Charlie eyed Severus. "We thought it would be a nice chance to catch up."
Charlie was still eying Severus. "It seems it was good timing."
Harry looked ot him. "And why is that?"
George had appeared in the door. "It looks like I may need back up for an interrogation."
Harry played coy. "Interrogation? What did I do?"
Bill who was late arriving smirked. "Brought a boyfriend to brunch it seems."
"Boyfriend?" Harry shot.
"Or did you bring him along for potions lessons?" Fred smirked.
Harry shook his head. "I guess that is why he is here. Though maybe you can help me come to my senses."
Harry was shocked when he came inside and found that it was all of the siblings. He had thought it was just the older brothers. But it turned out Ron had finished his morning shift at the store and been invited to come. Ginny was the only one missing as she was not a senior and it was not a Hogsmeade day for them. Beyond Severus Hermione was the only non Weasley who was there, well and the twin's girlfriends. But they would all be in the future. But then again Severus hoped to be with an honorary one.
Ron looked at Severus in shock. "What is he doing here?"
Fred smiled. "Dates were invited."
George agreed. "He seems to have accepted when Penny and Fleur turned our kind offer down."
Bill had been married that past summer. "This last trimester is wearing her out a bit. She is seven months."
Percy added. "Penny has been busy with a project at work."
Ron was stewing. "You are dating him? You are dating Snape? How, why?"
Severus looked at the boy. "I am sure Hermione has been asked the same."
Harry elbowed him. "Play nice."
Hermione reminded her boyfriend. "Play nice. We want him happy."
Ron looked at her. "Why don't you seem surprised?"
Hermione shrugged. "It wasn't hard to guess they would act on that potion."
Angelina motioned them in. "We should at least sit down and eat."
Fred motioned. "Too bad Mum and Dad are not here, you could have the full run down."
George stopped his twin. "Oh did we miss something?"
Harry was shocked when Molly and Arthur came in with Ginny. "I thought it was just the brothers."
Molly eyed Severus as she hugged Harry. "Fred invited us all. We just retrieved Ginny from school to join."
Arthur was eying Severus. "What are you doing here Severus?"
Ron shot in before Harry could. "He is Harry's date."
Molly was shocked. "Surely you are joking."
Harry was worried. "No."
Severus spoke up. "Perhaps we can sit down and speak."
Angelina agreed. "The food should not go cold."
Molly sat down but she didn't look happy at all. They normally would have had a meal like this at home at the Burrow. Originally it was meant to just be the older brothers but it had expanded. Angelina and George were looking to buy a house in town as they were talking engagement soon. George already had a ring and was coming ip with a way to propose. Both he and Fred were looking to propose by that summer and were considering a double wedding if the girls agreed to it. The girls were best friends, like sisters, and it would make sense they thought. But Fred had his suspicions about Harry and Bill had fed on them after what he had seen at the wedding the night before. He had not been in the stables but he had his suspicions as well.
Molly listened as Harry found himself explaining the potion and the attraction since then. He left out the physical part of their relationship though. But he did ensure they knew they had not done anything until the potion wore off.
Molly turned to Severus. "You don't find it inappropriate you were lusting after a student?"
Severus sighed. "We can't always help who we fall for Molly."
Arthur grunted. "And his dads?"
Harry assured them. "They know and have given their approval."
Ron was not doing well with this. "A snake is bad enough but him?"
Ginny shrugged. "Some people like more mature. He seems happy."
Fred grinned. "Severus knows us well enough to know what will happen if he hurts Harry."
Bill agreed. "He is our little brother in all but blood."
Arthur agreed with his sons. "I assume if his dads have given their blessing I must. But if you hurt him…."
Severus knew the man meant a lot to Harry even if not his dad. "I have no intention."
Hermione whispered to Ron. "He would likely not survive even the Malfoys if he did."
Severus heard her and grunted. "Lucius is suddenly playing the protective Uncle. Had to remind him he is my best friend."
Molly looked at Harry. "I always thought you wanted to marry and have children one day."
Harry agreed. "I do."
Severus put in. "I am not opposed."
Ron actually managed a small laugh. "May have to pay to watch you with a poopy diaper."
Molly even found herself laughing. "Quite the image."
Severus simmered a bit but he smiled a tad. Harry looked to the twins and older brothers for some back up. Though he had dropped Severus on them they seemed the most supportive of his choice. He found out how they learned when Bill revealed his little secret from the night before. Molly was still not all that convinced but she wanted Harry happy and he seemed to be. Harry was happy that Hermione and Ginny were taking it well. They would help convince Ron to be more reasonable.
Harry left with Severus later and kissed him. "Thank you for sitting through that."
That summer brought huge changes for all. Bill and Fleur had welcomed their daughter Victoire weeks before Harry and the others graduated. He and Charlie had been named her godparents, as Gabrielle was too young and Fleur chose Harry. Ron and Hermione moved into their flat and started their new jobs. And though Harry spent the summer on the coast with his dads, he had officially taken over the master bedroom and ownership of Grimmauld. And was set to start playing quidditch in the fall. He and Severus had come out publicly to the others like Narcissa as well. Narcissa had been shocked, and Andromeda had given the man another run down, but they had been accepting enough. Harry even kept Blitz at their manor and didnt move his horse to Black Manor. He was reminded Severus spent so much time at the manor and it made sense. The twins had also proposed to their girlfriends and were planning on a double wedding on Halloween. The girls had more than agreed on that.
In the fall Harry hit the air for his first game as a professional seeker. He knew unlike school they wouldnt win every game and the cup every season and he was prepared. But he was determined to keep up the team's winning he did.
He was amazed less then an hour into the game he caught the snitch. He only believed it when he heard the whistle. "Wow."
The announcer could be heard. "Seeker Potter catches the golden snitch. Puddlemere United beats Hollyhead Harpies 210-30."
Oliver flew over to him with a huge smile. "That was incredible."
Katie came to his side when he landed. "Even better then school."
Another chaser beamed. "Making sure the coach doesn't regret dishing out the big bucks?"
Max had come over. "It will take more then one game to prove that." But there was humor in his voice.
Harry was flushed from the game and the praise. "Thanks."
Oliver motioned. "Should hit the showers. I have no doubt your cheering section has plans."
Katie agreed with him. "Surprised they got that many seats for the first game of the season."
Harry smirked. "Lucius bought a box. Reminds me the stadium is also used for European and National league games."
Lucius had always been a fan of the game and had taken his son to games for years. The United was Draco's favorite team. He had no doubt the box would come in handy over the season. There was enough seats for twelve people in the box. His dads, the twins and their fiances, Bill and Charlie and Ron and Hermione had all come. And Lucius was there. He was there more as company for Severus who was there of course then due to it being hix box. He didn't intend to see every game and the box had been meant for more as a way for Harry's family and friends to come see him when they chose.
Harry found the cheering section waiting for him when he came out of the dressing rooms. He had told them they didnt all have to come but he was not shocked they had. It was a weekend so none of them had to worry about work or training.
Severus drew Harry into his arms for a kiss. "At least I can now enjoy it."
Harry returned the kiss. "Now?"
Lucius laughed as he understood. "You are no longer trouncing his team on the field."
Severus agreed. "Perhaps my team will finally win."
Harry kissed him. "I have trained my remaining team well but you can always hope."
Severus grunted. "I am just glad you aren't coaching."
Harry had spoken to Hooch. "I told her I would consider next season but right now I wish to focus on playing."
Fred reminded Severus. "It would mean he would be at school more often."
George agreed. "Unless you already tired of our brother."
Sirius snarled. "He better not have."
Severus agreed. "Oh he keeps me on my toes too much to bore of him."
Remus cleared his throat. "Perhaps such talk can wait until after lunch."
Sirius added. "And when his fathers are not an audience."
Severus whispered in his boyfriend's ear. "I do have plans to celebrate with you tonight."
Harry was happy to go out for lunch with his cheering section. His mind though was on Severus and his plans for the night. They had slowly made their way out of the bedroom when their relationship had become public. Harry had no doubts the man wanted to date him and not sex anymore. But he still wasn't sure the man would ever want to marry him. Harry knew he either had to find out if the man would or move on. He wanted marriage and children one day. But he was wanting that with him.
After the group lunch Severus did take Harry away from the group. It had been a late lunch as the game had been at eleven. He was happy their relationship was out in the open but he didn't always enjoy sharing Harry with them either.
Harry was surprised when he found himself at school. "Not exactly the date I was expecting."
Severus pulled him in close. "I thought you liked movie nights."
Harry did. "Are we double dating with my dads? They are the only source here."
Severus surprised Harry when he led him into his rooms. "I seem to have been inspired."
Harry was amazed when the man had added a tv on magic like his dads had. "I never thought to see the day."
Severus surprised him even with popcorn and soda. "I think we have all we need. Elves are even making pizza."
Harry laughed as he was pulled down onto the couch. "We could have just done a dinner and movie."
Severus drew him into his arms. "But then we would have a bit more of an audience and I want you all to myself."
Harry was not going to argue that point and he laid back against the man to enjoy. Severus remembered the television when he was a kid and Lucius had one as well. He highly doubted this would be used often but it served a purpose for him tonight. He and Harry had both enjoyed the two trips to the theater they had made in the past. And having popcorn and dinner in privacy on the couch with no audience definitely was a better use of their time he thought.
Harry was surprised though when he found himself drawn off the couch after the first movie. "Where are we going?"
Severus drew him in. "I think we need to burn off some energy before the next movie."
Harry smiled but was shocked when they didnt head to the man's bedroom. "Why are we going into your lab?"
Severus whispered. "Do you remember when I told you of the places I pictured fucking your fine ass?"
Harry groaned as he felt the man undoing his pants. "I do recall it was your classroom desk."
Severus moved Harry to the cleared end of the table. "Well for privacy sake this will have to do."
Harry found himself lowered over the desk. "Been waiting a long time."
The man lowered his and Harry's pants. "I believe there were a few others we need to try as well."
Harry's response was cut off as the man drove into him from behind. Harry clung to the desk as Severus drove harder and harder into him. Harry had never thought to have so much fun in the lab before. His head spun as the man continued his pace, Harry's cock growing hard from both his prostate being hit and the friction. He could feel his lover's teeth sink into the back of his neck as they both came to a mind blowing climax. Severus withdrew and cleaned them off with his wand as he turned Harry.
He drew Harry into his arms for a long hot kiss. "Think when you move in here with me how many places we can explore."
Harry was shocked by his words. "Move in?"
Severus whispered. "You know your bed is so lonely without me."
Harry groaned as he felt the man's hands on his ass. "Only staff can live here."
Severus didnt respond at first but lifted Harry forcing Harry's legs to wrap around him and carried him back into the sitting room where he placed Harry down on the couch and continued for another round. Oh he had been picturing this conversation for some time. He had one last conversation he needed to have before he made it official though. He hoped to survive that one.
When he pulled out and cleaned them off Severus turned on the second movie. But he answered Harry. "Spouses can as well."
Harry looked at the man in absolute shock. "Spouses?"
