Harry was in his room on his computer, a birthday gift from Uncle Remus and Uncle Severus this year; even if at eight he was a bit young for one. There were some academic games on it, and though not linked to the full internet, it was set up so he and Draco could communicate on it. Draco had also got one for his birthday; both got it as an early gift, for the summers were a bit hard. Harry was back to his night visits, since the school year was out, and Harry missed seeing Draco. His Uncles were trying to get permission for him to come live with them, but he knew there was little chance before he started school.

During the year he went at 8 to the manor Monday to Friday, till four. He and Draco did herbology, arithmancy and history as well as a ride in the morning, and after lunch they did magic theory, played some quidditch and some chess. He and Dibby would have dinner when he got home; watch a cartoon, read and bed. On the weekends his Uncle Remus and Severus would come for a visit as well as dinner on Wednesdays.

Dibby looked at him worried. "Master has not even passed the first puzzle on his game. Is something wrong?"

Harry turned back from the window. "I just wish Arabella had to baby-sit me soon. It has been two weeks since I got to even go there."

Since Harry and Dudley were older, still too young in any right mind to leave them alone, Petunia had not been made to send him to Arabella very often. Harry could see outside, and though no one could see him, he could see the other kids play, and he had tears. He missed Draco, he came with his dads at night, but it was different. He loved Dibby, and he was a happy child when it was not summer, but these two months sucked.

Harry was shocked when his doors began to open and nearly freaked until he saw Uncle Lucius. "Uncle Luc, what are you doing here?"

Lucius accepted the hug."How would you like to come on vacation with us for a few weeks?"

They still could not get custody of him till he began school, but Cornelius was able to help a bit, and still let Albus believe he was with his relatives. It seemed the couple were going away for vacation, and they would take precautions, to make it look like Harry was with them. It was no real worry, Albus had never once checked on Harry in person, but they would have the bases covered still.

Dibby had known ahead and handed Lucius a suitcase Harry had not seen him pack, and hugged Harry. "Dibby miss, but little master have good holiday."

Harry went with his Uncle to leave."Where are we going Uncle Luc?"

Lucius told him he needed to see, and Harry could barely contain his excitement, especially because his birthday was in a few days time. Harry had never been away any where before, and he had spent so much time studying the world, and wanted to see more. Lucius knew they could be going to Ireland and be excited, but he had a feeling Harry would be more excited when he saw where he was going.

Harry looked around in wonder when they arrived."Where are we?"

A smiling Sirius who had Draco with him, answered. "We have come to visit some old family friends at their summer home in Naples."

The Krums, an old family friend for both the Malfoys and Blacks, had a summer home here, and invited them to come. Their only son Viktor was three years older, he would be starting at Durmstang in the fall, but they thought it would be fun for the boys. Harry and Draco were so thrilled; neither of them had been told about the vacation till today, in case it did not work out. It would only be three weeks, but Harry could spend his entire birthday with them, not a few hours.

The Krums came out and soon Viktor was taking the boys down to the beach. Lucius saw a look in his husband's eyes. "Thinking about our results."

Sirius sighed. "I am disappointed we can't add, but we have two beautiful sons, and the boys can split my wealth. I guess hearing Severus was..."

They had not told the boys but Sirius had suffered a miscarriage, and the healer they went to finally, warned pregnancy would likely never happen. Sirius' magic was not stable enough it seemed, and Lucius had a lot of hex damage. They would not use protection, and Lucius would look to be a carrier, but they knew it was slim. Severus had mainly done potions as a spy, and the couple had decided a year ago, to try for a baby. They were coming for Harry's birthday, and would tell the boys.

Sirius gave a genuine smile. "You know it won't be that many years till we're grandpas. Besides we have Draco, and hopefully in a few years, Harry too."

Harry had never been on vacation obviously, and Italy was so amazing, they taking day trips like Rome. He and Draco stared in shock when Viktor showed them the ash mummy dogs from Pompeii. Viktor was cool, he was eleven, and an awesome quidditch player, and knew a lot of cool things as well. Harry knew he had to go back in a few weeks, but he was promised they could do a trip the next few summers, before school.

The trip was a birthday gift in itself, and Harry had already got his computer, but he would have a proper party. Instead of a small party at the manor like the last two years, they were right down on the beach. Harry was surprised, but excited, when Uncle Remus and Uncle Severus appeared.

Harry was confused when they said they had a gift for him. "You guys already gave me a computer. That was enough."

Remus shook his head."Well cub this is a gift we can't take back. Your Uncle is pregnant; you'll have a cousin in the end of March."

Harry and Draco were both excited when they heard, they had hoped their dads would, but this was still cool. Harry called Lucius and Sirius Uncles, but they were the closest things to dads he had, and they loved and treated him as a son. Draco would always be his brother, but this new baby was his cousin. Harry had slowly been told about his past, and he knew there were things people like some man named Albus couldn't know, but was too young for most.

Severus kissed Harry when he was sad he could not come when the baby was born. "You know we will bring your little cousin to see you all the time."

Draco noticed some of Harry's smile returned and pointed at the rest. "Come on, hurry up so we can go swim. Viktor said he would show us the turf board."

Laughing Viktor corrected him, surf board, but Harry was soon ploughing into the other gifts. There were some new movies and programs for his computer, and other things for Harry to do when he was home, to keep him from getting bored. His favourite beyond his new cousin, and the computer he got before, was the books.

As the boys headed to the water with Viktor. "Harry could nearly be a Ravenclaw, his love for reading. But I have a feeling he is too much a little Malfoy, for that."
