Sirius and Lucius apparated to the house, happy to spend their first real day with Harry, since he was a baby. They had visited him almost every day for the past four years, and when they didn't come, Remus and Severus did, and Albus still had no idea. Harry was old enough for kindergarten now, and seeing to the city records so no one became suspicious, they would be able to take Harry out of the house finally, for mornings, and next year all day. Lucius and Sirius had been married now for three and a half years, and were hoping for a child together, but none had come so far. They were not discouraged, and since he had been in Draco's life since he was a baby, Draco called him daddy, and Sirius loved him as a son even before he adopted him. They hoped Harry and Draco would be close friends, perhaps brothers.
As they walked towards the house, they wished they could take him, but had been told until Harry turned 11 they wouldn't be able to. Cornelius would help them then, saying the few months of summer would not be a risk, but till then this would have to do. Draco was eagerly waiting back at the manor, to meet his new playmate.
Petunia was the only one home. "Get in here then and take the little pest."
Sirius snarled. "You have not even seen or heard him since he came. And even if you're not feeding or clothing him, I know Albus is paying you."
The woman shut her mouth, wanting them out of her house as soon as possible, and hopefully before any neighbours could see them as well. Lucius and Sirius went to the bedroom they made, and opened the door, which only opened for them. Harry stood waiting for them, the irresistible little five year old, backpack in hand. He had not been able to leave the house other then when he went with them to the back yard and was excited.
Harry threw himself at Lucius. "Uncle Luc, Uncle Luc, I get to come with you today right?"
Lucius scooped the little boy up. "Yes cub, but remember you have to come back after lunch."
Harry had never known any other life, he had no memories of his parents, so he had no idea how odd of a life he had. Dibby was dedicated beyond words, and the bedroom was full of books, and puzzles and games, decorated to look like a zoo, and even had a swing for him. He had human visits for two hours every night, not ideal, but better then his relatives. They ensured for holidays and birthdays there was always decorations and they came for a little party
Sirius pouted."Where's my hug munchkin? I'm starting to think you like Uncle Luc better then me."
Harry reached out for him. "I love you too Uncle Paddy. Where's Draco?"
Laughing they assured Harry that Draco was waiting, and they headed from the house, to where they could apparate. Harry waved at Arabella, who was his only day contact. The old woman never approved of Harry being sent, and when Sirius told her of their plan, would have obliviated her if needed, she happily offered aid. Albus would expect Harry to go with the relatives, so the rare time Petunia was out of the house too, Harry had been taken to Arabella. Dibby would take Harry from the room, and assure he was back in one piece. Harry liked it, he got to play in the sun, and with the cats. Petunia kept to her word, never to tell Albus, no matter how bizarre this was, throwing Arabella in the mix, for she knew she would have to care for Harry, if she did. This way there was just a missing room in the house.
Draco bounded up and down when he saw them. "You're my cousin Harry? Daddy and Father have told me all about you."
Harry smiled when he was set down on the grass. "They told me about you too. I love the puzzle on quidditch you sent me."
The men watched as the boys began talking like they had known each other all their lives, not that they had not seen each other since they were babies. Dibby had come with them, for he wanted to see Dobby. Both elves were a bit off, they were not always good at following orders, when they thought it would hurt their masters, which made them the best choice for nanny elves. The last thing needed was for a five year old to eat ice cream day and night, for he was master too.
Lucius directed them into the house. "We will give Harry a tour and maybe we can do a puzzle before lunch. We'll have more time to ride tomorrow."
Draco pulled Harry along. "I want to show you my bedroom, and the stables and the pool..."
They were worried how Harry may react to all of this, for he was confined to one room at home, no matter how nice, but they received no complaint. It turned out Dibby had done his best, both in the room and Arabella's where lately Harry got to go once a week. He had turned Harry's bath tub and Arabella's splash pool she had for Harry, into little swimming pools for him, and learning about televisions, made sure Harry had one, and plenty of cartoons and movies for him to watch.
Harry had a few tears when he had to leave after lunch. "I wish I could stay."
Sirius took him up into his arms. "I wish you could too cub, but you'll come back every day. And you know if you ever need us, Dibby will come for us"
They gave Harry a book, for he was learning to read, both with them and Dibby, and could already write his letters. He smiled and nodded when back home, and promised he would show them what he had learned, when he had came with them the next day.
Lucius kissed his husband when they got home. "I know this is hard my love, but we're doing our best. We will keep trying to get him out of that house I swear."
