Bucky had been back from training for a week. It was the hardest few months Steve and Harry had gone through. They huddled in the night together and wished for the empty space beside Harry to be filled. Bucky didn't write to them. They all knew it was too hard and if something was slipped and someone found out about their relationship, it would be a disaster. They decided before he left that he would only write if he was getting shipped out or if it was an emergency. It killed them all. When Bucky returned in his suit, it was like their life began again. Harry told Chen he wouldn't be training for a week and stayed home refusing to leave them. Chen only nodded but understood.

The week turned into two but Harry was paying for it today.

Harry rolled over on his back and groaned. "I'm going to die."

Chen laughed. "You will live."

Harry groaned again.

"This will be the last time I see you."

Harry sat up quickly. "Why? Did I do something wrong?"

Chen looked at him. "I have nothing else I can teach you. You have learned more spells, your potions are improving and will improve more with time, your fighting style has improved and will keep improving if you follow what I have shown you."

Harry nodded and bowed. "Thank you for teaching me."

"How much longer are you going to put off leaving? You said you would return when you have turned of age. You have been ignoring your duties for your heart."

Harry leaned back. "I don't want to leave them."

"You don't have a choice. If you stay, you would not return to your time and they would find out what happen and come here. They would take all the memories you have shared with them. You would be pulled back anyway and they would loose the memory of even knowing you."

Harry nodded. The thought of anyone touching Bucky or Steve, he would kill anyone who touched them. "I'll go talk to the goblins today and get a portkey to Hogwarts. I'm sure someone can send me back."

Chen nodded and walked to Harry placing a hand on his heart. "They can't take that away from you Harry. You will know, even in leaving them, you are protecting them and you love them enough to go."

Harry nodded. "Goodbye."

Chen nodded and walked out of the room. Harry looked around. He began packing up his potions lab in a box he transformed. He vanished the rest of the room and released all the wards. He would never come back here and he wanted to die.

He changed his clothes and ran a cleaning charm over his body. It would do until he could take a shower tonight. He shrunk the box filled with the books and potion supplies and walked slowly to the bank.

Gripnaut nodded to him as he walked inside. He waited then followed Gripnaut to his office.

"What can I do for you Mr. Potter?"

"Can you make me a portkey for Hogwarts?"

"Are you going back?"

Harry nodded. "I've put it off long enough." He laughed. "I fell in love with two muggles. I…"

Gripnaut pulled a necklace from inside his desk and handed it to Harry. "I made it after we spoke and you told me your story. I knew you would come for it at some point."

"The phrase is Slytherin's heir."

Harry nodded. "Thank you for your kindness and helping me. I will send word if I reach the future."

Gripnaut nodded.

Harry bowed and walked from the room.

It was still early. Steve and Bucky wouldn't be home for several hours. It was a Friday night and Harry smirked. He was going to do something tonight he will never ever admit to in the future. He would do this for Steve.

He walked to the department store and found a bubbly sales clerk.

Hours later Harry was looking in the mirror and seriously questioning his sanity. Steve and Bucky might have a fit. It was the forties.

Harry had showered and used charms to lengthen his hair, make his lips cherry red and now he was staring at himself in a dress with full lingerie underneath. He looked like a girl. He looked back at the clock and slipped on the heels. They would either find the humor in it or they wouldn't. They would both be here in minutes.

Harry walked to the table and pulled himself up and sat down crossing his legs. This was so uncomfortable. He was going to tell Fred and George about this. They would get a kick out of it, well, after they took a vow to not tell anyone else.

He heard their voices laughing as they walked up the stairs to the door. He sat fidgeting wondering how the next few minutes were going to play out. He smirked, he didn't care he was going to have fun with this.

Bucky kicked the door open strolling in. Steve was steps behind him. Neither one of them paid attention as Bucky kicked off his shoes and dropped his canteen. Steve was following Bucky's direction and kicking off his shoes.

"Harry?" Bucky screamed.

Harry snickered. Bucky turned back and froze. Steve pushed him out of the way to get his shoes to go under the small side table they had in the living room. Harry just leaned back and rested his hands on the table and waited for Steve's reaction. He didn't disappoint.

Steve caught the frozen look on Bucky and turned back his mouth dropped open. "The fuck?"

Harry broke into laughter. "Do I pass?"

"As a dame?" Bucky stuttered.

"Yep."

Steve walked over to him and touched the dress then took a step back. Bucky moved to walk to him and Harry hissed. "Showers, then we are going out. Steve is taking me on a date."

They both exchanged looks and began to walk to the bedroom. Bucky walked straight into the door but no one said anything. Harry smirked. Well, they didn't explode. Maybe, they would get a few laughs out of tonight.

Harry waited as Bucky and Steve got dressed. Neither one of them came back into the living room. Harry was waiting patiently. He picked up Steve's sketchbook and pulled out his camera and charged it then began snapping pictures of everything inside. Merlin, he was going to miss them. He needed to leave. Chen was right, the longer he put this off the more likely someone would come to fetch him and then he would have to watch as Steve and Bucky were stripped of every memory of him.

He took a few pics of the flat and then slid the camera back in his trunk. Everything else he'd packed earlier. Everything was shrunk and inside his trunk. One last night.

Bucky and Steve walked out together. Bucky was in the new suit Harry bought him and Steve was in his Sunday best. Harry walked to them. Steve was blushing and barely making eye contact with him.

"I can go change and be ready in ten if this makes you uncomfortable. I just figured, since I'm so small anyway, I could pass for a girl and we could have a date."

Steve looked up at him. "You really do look like a girl."

Bucky snorted. He took a step to Harry and sniffed. "You even smell like one."

Harry twirled. "I'm going to be one tonight."

Harry moved kissing Bucky on the lips then moved to Steve and slid his arm inside Steve's. "So, Stevie, where are we going?"

Steve blushed. Bucky and Harry exchanged smirks before Steve took Harry's arm and pulled him out of the flat. They walked down the street with Bucky walking behind them. Bucky being Bucky would 'accidentally' grab Harry's ass if no one was around. They headed to one of the night clubs that Bucky went to with his fake dates. Steve and Harry hated his fake dates but understood that Bucky needed to keep up the persona of a little shit who ran through women. Harry rolled his eyes when Bucky waived to several women who waived at him across the bar.

Harry leaned over to Steve and groaned. "It's his fan club."

Steve looked over at the women and he pulled Harry closer. Harry grinned and leaned into his ear. "You are all mine tonight."

Harry leaned over and kissed him. Steve stood shocked then relaxed and slid into the kiss. Harry pulled back and grinned.

Bucky moved closer to them and hissed. "I don't think that's fair."

Harry turned to him and smiled innocently. "This is what you get for all your fake dates and leaving us at home to be with other whores." Harry stopped turning back to the bar and the women that were ushering Bucky over. Harry turned back to Bucky. "If I see your hands on anyone tonight, I will accidentally scrape my teeth across your dick the next time it's in my mouth."

Steve bit back a laugh. Bucky smirked. "Jealous?"

Harry hummed and turned back to Steve. "Will you get us drinks while Bucky teaches me to dance?"

Steve smiled and leaned over shyly and kissed him. Harry smiled as he watched him walk to the bar. Bucky watched him too until he was out of sight. Bucky turned to him and grabbed his arm and pulled Harry to the dance floor.

"I'm glad you did this. It's insane and kind of weird, odd, strange… But, I'm glad Steve got to have this with you."

Harry leaned into Bucky's body and nodded. He was trying to watch Bucky and was failing at dancing. "I'm utter shite at this. I had to go to this ball once and open a dance. I was horrible then too. I almost caused myself and my date to hit the floor. I have can run through a room and fight twenty people and stay light on my feet, why the hell can't I dance?"

Bucky froze. "What?"

Harry's eyes went wide. He hadn't meant to say that. He calmed his face. "I was just joking."

Bucky stopped moving and really looked at him. "Harry, if something is wrong you don't have to go back. I know I'm leaving but Steve will help you and I'll send back my pay. You don't have to go back."

Harry smiled. "Bucky, I'm leaving soon. I can't not go back. You are about to fight a war. I have to fight mine too. I love you so much. I love Steve so much. If there was any choice, I would stay."

Bucky looked upset. He rarely ever had any look but mirth etched on his features. "Steve will be okay here. I'm leaving all my cash when I go so he will be safe. Just promise me you'll get back home to him. Please, don't die."

Bucky's face warmed up. "I'll keep him safe."

Harry turned as Steve walked to him. Bucky smiled and Steve took his place. Steve was blushing.

"Steve, we have a serious problem."

Steve went concerned quickly looking around. "What?"

"I can't dance." Steve smiled and the blush went away. Harry grinned and slid closer wrapping his arms around Steve's neck. "I guess we can sway."

Steve nodded and looked at Harry. "Is everything okay? Bucky looked upset."

Harry leaned closer. Steve and Harry were almost at the same height. The shoes he'd put on put him a little over Steve so he stepped out of them so they were eye level. Steve grinned. "I don't think that was very lady like."

"Good thing, I'm not a lady."

Harry moved molding his body to Steve's. Steve wrapped his arms around Harry and they stood almost swaying but mostly just enjoying each others company.

"I have to leave soon. Bucky wants me to stay."

"He's not alone."

Harry sighed and leaned back looking at the concerned blue eyes. "I love you."

Steve nodded. "As I you."

"You have to promise me you will keep yourself safe. Promise me."

Steve looked at Harry and nodded. "The army won't take me."

"I want you to know that I love you and even when I leave, you and Bucky are it for me. I will never replace you."

"I wish you would stay."

Harry leaned in and kissed him. "I'm so scared you both will forget me."

Steve shook his head. "Not possible."

Harry looked up and his eyes locked on Bucky. Steve turned looking at what caught Harry's eye. Bucky smirked and tipped his hat. Steve laughed but they both froze when a woman laughed and plastered herself to Bucky's chest and leaned up and kissed him.

Harry cursed. "I'm going to rip her fucking hair out."

Steve gripped his hand as Harry slid back into his shoes. "Let's go. Bucky's furious, look at him."

Harry snarled and walked out of the club with Steve following him. Steve matched his steps and took his hand. Harry stopped and smiled at him. They heard Bucky's steps and turned to look at him. Bucky's face said it all but Harry looked back to Steve and they turned to the flat. They walked in silence. They headed in the house and Bucky kicked the door closed.

Bucky moved to speak but Harry ignored him. He wanted out of this shit. He wanted to be himself. He moved to the bathroom and began to strip. He ripped off the dress and everything that went under it and removed the charms on his face and hair. He stood himself again staring at the mirror.

He heard a knock before Steve opened the door. Harry turned back to him and Steve moved not giving him a chance to speak before he was hauled over his shoulder and pulled to the bed.

"I don't want to talk anymore." Harry whispered.

Bucky and Steve nodded and began to strip. Harry whimpered when Bucky fell on top of him and latched onto his mouth. He didn't want to go. He didn't want to leave. The thought kept pounding in the back of his head as he felt Steve move beside them. Harry pushed Bucky away and rolled over pulling Steve in the middle of the bed and straddled him.

"I want you both."

Harry looked down. Steve was already hard. He used the charms and moved taking him in.

"Harry? Are you okay?" Bucky was moving behind him rubbing his back.

Harry arched and looked back at him. "Open me up. I want you both."

Bucky's mouth fell open but he moved straddling Steve's legs and opened the jar of slick. "Harry?"

Harry ignored him and leaned over latching his mouth to Steve's. Steve mewled as Harry began to make small circles teasing him as Bucky's fingers began to join the tight passage. Harry jerked up slamming his back into Bucky's chest. Bucky latched onto his neck, his teeth biting then his tongue soothing. It was almost too much.

I don't want to go. I don't want to leave them. Steve arched slamming up into him as Bucky groaned as he slid into another finger.

"You are so tight. Are you sure?"

Harry moved forward latching himself against Steve's neck.

"Now… Bucky…"

Bucky nodded pulling his fingers away and slicked up his cock before he lined himself up. "Harry?"

Harry looked back his eyes meeting Bucky's. Whatever he saw there had him moving forward and ripping Harry apart. They all froze. Harry thought he would be split into. Steve and Bucky wondered if the heat and slick would crush them.

"Fuck… fuck… Harry, you are so tight." Bucky moved jerking Harry up to slam into his chest.

His mouth came down and bit into Harry's skin so hard Harry wondered if he broke skin. They all waited until Harry clinched. Steve arched, his eyes rolled back and he moaned. Bucky reached around and held Harry's hips.

"I'm going to move."

Harry just nodded.

Bucky started slow, small rolls of his hips that rocked into Harry's prostate. Harry mewled and couldn't take the slow almost nonexistent movements. He sobbed and slammed back sending the men inside him reeling. Bucky growled and pulled back then let himself go. Steve and Harry could do little more than take it. Bucky was like a whirlwind tearing into him.

I don't want to go. I don't want to leave.

Harry felt his magic building up. Oh Merlin, he tried to shake himself free but there was no way he could come out of the haze. Every shift Bucky made slammed into him in the most delicious ways. Steve was arching sliding against Bucky and sending them both into euphoria. His body collapsed. Bucky held him up as he pounded into him.

I don't want to go. I love them. I love them.

His core snapped. He felt his body explode and collapse as Steve and Bucky screamed and collapsed against him. He woke with a start. Bucky was lying against his back and they were piled half on and off Steve.

His magic had reacted. He had to leave. He couldn't put it off anymore. If he stayed, if he looked at them one more time, he would stay.

Harry stood watching them sleep. He pulled out his camera and took a picture of them. They were so beautiful. He loved them so much. Bucky moved shifting in his sleep. His hand started moving over the empty place Harry usually slept. Harry raised his wand and cast a sleeping charm over them. They wouldn't wake now for several hours. He walked to them and kissed them both. Merlin, he wanted to stay. He would give anything to stay.

Harry moved to the kitchen and pulled out parchment and a quill.

I'm so sorry. Please, forgive me. I couldn't say goodbye. I knew if you asked me once more to stay, I would let everything I know burn around me to be with you both. I love you and will always love you. Last night was the best night of my life. You both gave me something I've never had before. You made me feel safe and loved. I hate everything that is pulling me home. I hate that I have to leave this note to say goodbye. Please, please, forgive me. If fate ever grants me one wish, I wish to meet you both again. Please, be safe. Love each other and remember me.

I love you. Harry

Harry stood, walked away from the parchment and quill, dressed and shrunk his trunk. He slid the trunk in his pocket and put on the necklace from Gripnaut. He moved to the room again and ran his fingers over Bucky's and Steve's brow. He ignored the tears in his eyes.

"Slytherin's heir."

He wanted to scream.
