Harry did not find it too hard to settle into life with Robbie. He knew being an apprentice made it a bit easier. He knew when they added to the family and he was a full professor he might need to take some real time off. He knew though he would be more used to this being a father. Dobby had been thrilled to be asked to be the nanny elf. Harry had done marking and returned to coaching right away but did not return to the classroom until April. He got his hours in with his marking and helping with all of the lesson plans and more. He would be done his apprenticeship in June and in September would be Professor Malfoy, the new one. His father would be retiring of course and going back to business full time and his dad would take over transfiguration.

Lucius came into his husband's office to find him and his son. He shared a smile with Remus. "I just came back."

Remus looked up. "How did it go?"

Lucius smiled and nodded his head. Harry was confused and looked back and forth between his dads. He had thought his dad was in London on business for it was Saturday afternoon. His father had left the day before. He had been doing more and more business away.

Seeing his son' confusion Lucius smiled. "It seems good that you and your father are making me retire as I won't need to take time off from two jobs."

The words sunk in. "You're pregnant again? I knew you guys had hoped you might be able to have another but I..."

Remus kissed him. "We had started to give up hope. The healers had suggested we top trying or risk having a miscarriage but it turn out we're pregnant again."

It brought a huge smile to Harry. It seemed funny that his new sister or brother would be younger then Dante and Robbie. But he reminded himself Emma was just turning three in a few months time in June. He knew the baby would be older then some nephews and nieces for both Harry and Draco were planning on others.

Lucius still had a surprise for Remus. "There should be no worries about a loss. It turns out we were right but more right then expected. I am three months along."

It was the first week in April and they had been trying since Emma was a year old. They had not told their sons they were trying again until last summer. They had told them for they had though they were pregnant. It had been a false positive. Close to two years of trying and numerous false positives they had seriously been considering the doctor's advice. It had taken time for Emma but nothing like this. They were jut grateful that they had not had any miscarriages as their son had.

Remus put a hand on his husband's stomach. "This is incredible. That means we should have a little one in October."

Lucius nodded. "I talked to Poppy and she will do the ultrasound for us tomorrow. I thought since the boys were bringing Dante, it would be perfect."

Harry swore he would not tell anyone or go running to his brother with the news. They knew the only reason he would likely be able to hold his tongue was the fact that his brother no longer lived here at school with them. The men wanted to tell Draco and Blaise in person. They were having a hard time believing they were three months away from celebrating their oldest grandson's first birthday and were talking about a baby of their own. Lucius was still going to take on more of his personal business again but he would do as he had with Emma and limit any business travel while this one was little.

Draco was nearly as shocked as Harry had been when he learned. They had both been happy for their dads when they said they were trying for another one. Harry was surprised when he and Draco were told how long they had actually been trying. They were pleased it had worked for them.

Draco looked at Dante. "You do realize our siblings and kids are going to be in school, I mean different years, but together. And maybe some Krums as well."

Harry laughed. "Hermione let it drop her and Viktor plan on starting to try this winter as she is nearly done her studies. I was a bit surprised but happy for them."

Unlike Draco whose husband had been willing to take maternity leave and do some work from home Hermione wanted to be the one to stay home. She did not want to take a year off from her training though so she had planned on waiting. She would finish her last year in the start of June. If she got pregnant in the winter she would deliver after she graduated. The internship she had with Malfoy industries had turned into an actual job this past year for her and Draco. She would want a job as an attorney but if she got pregnant she would continue working for Malfoy while pregnant at first and get a paid maternity leave. Lucius had actually suggested it.

Poppy smiled when they all came pouring into the infirmary to have the ultrasound. I should have known this would be a family occasion. It always seems to be."

Harry looked down at Robbie in his arms. "I was hoping this little one would be born here in the infirmary with you to deliver him. Just like you did Emma."

She had been a bit disappointed for she cared deeply for Harry as well as Severus of course. She had bee there when he lost the first baby. He had proudly shown off his son to her as on as they returned to school. She had to admit even those with none of the blood, all Malfoy babies seemed to be pretty beautiful and strong.

Poppy looked at the dads when they were starting the test. "Hoping for a son or daughter this time? I knew the wish last time."

"Daughter." They both said and with a laugh Lucius explained. "Not that we'd not be delighted with a third son but we'd like to balance it out."

Since there had been two sons to the family recently they were in need of some pink. They thought if it was another daughter that she and Emma would grow up close. They were three years apart but they would still play and such. And if Harry and Severus had their wish in another year and so she would have a little niece to play with as well. Draco and Blaise wanted one as well.

Poppy brought the image up on the screen. "And there is your beautiful new baby. And I am very happy to say the baby is healthy and strong."

Remus kissed his husband and looked at her. "So is Emma getting a little playmate or do we have some more testosterone coming into our lives?"

When she told them the gender of the baby everyone in the room laughed. They were given copies of the picture. Lucius and Remus were not surprised when their sons asked if they could name their new sibling. The dads thought since they had done such a good job naming Emma, they could trust them to name their newest sibling. They had no doubt after the unique names thought up for their grandsons, that the boys would be creative as well.

The end of the year had brought a lot of excitement Harry's snakes had won their third straight quidditch cup. And Severus' house won the house cup. Emma celebrated a pink pony themed third birthday party. And Harry officially completed his apprenticeship. In September he would be a full fledged professor and have his own classes and proper office. Robbie would actually be spending a few days a week at the Burrow as Molly had insisted she would love to have him there.

For once Harry was happy for his birthday when he woke up. Severus kissed him. "Happy twentieth birthday my love."

Harry pulled him into a kiss. "It will be. I can never thank Dante enough for making his entrance on my birthday. He can steal the limelight from me today."

Laughing Severus assured his husband that the child likely would. The family loved Harry but a first birthday was definitely more special then a twentieth. Harry was one of two guests of honour of course. The family had been creative to come up with a theme for both of them. The real celebration Harry cared for was the next day. He and his husband would be celebrating their three year anniversary. Again they were taking a holiday. His dads had decided that the men were just too plain stubborn to treat themselves to expensive trips they could more then afford so as anniversary gifts planned a trip for them every year. Harry reluctantly agreed to leave Robbie for two weeks with his grandfathers to allow his husband to whisk him away on a romantic trip to a safari in Kenya.

Severus produced a tray of breakfast in bed. "You know I think our trip will be inspiration again. I mean a safari is a good theme for both us and your nephew."

Harry laughed and agreed. "I was thinking the same thing. Merlin only knows there might be a jungle of wild animals running around the manor when we arrive."

For the first time Harry and Severus were not in the gatehouse. That summer they had spent two weekends there but the rest were just day visits. They wanted now that they had their son to have a more common life. Now that Harry was a dad himself he had not had the need to be as physically close with his dads. Well he was with them day in and day out during the summer and of course holidays they were at the manor of course.

Harry was eating some French toast when he was confused. "Where is our son? He should be up demanding a feeding by now."

Severus kissed him and motioned to an empty bottle he had also brought in. "Me and the little man decided daddy needed more rest. He is back out again."

Their seven month old was still such a sweet tempered baby. Dante was an amazing child but he kept his daddies busy. Robbie on the other hand had never been much trouble. He fussed very little and slept through the nights most of the time except when hungry. Harry did not mind the feedings and the diapers at all. He loved being a daddy more then he had ever imagined. Every new thing their son managed like his first smile, the first time he rolled over, he and his husband took delight in. He had seen it with Emma and even Dante who now could stand and take a few steps holding to furniture, but was not walking on his own yet, but this was different. It being his own child made it far more special and touching.

Severus led his husband towards the shower eventually. "You know besides you will make it up to them. I know your dads will get another baby shower."

Harry shrugged. "Well father was the first time dad last time but Dad has not had one. Besides after all these parties they throw, they deserve some pay back."

For a moment Severus felt like reminding his husband that his dads would likely turn around and do the same to him when they got pregnant again. Instead he kept his tongue on the matter. He did not need to pick a fight especially on Harry's birthday. He wanted today special and he was excited about tomorrow. Like Harry he was reluctant to leave Robbie but not as much as Harry. He loved his son as dearly as Harry did but they had not had more then a weekend of quality time since his birth. He had spent a weekend here or there in the past few months with his Uncles or grandfathers.

When they arrived, at the same time as his brothers and Dante none of them were surprised. "A safari theme? I knew it would be."

Draco smiled and nodded."We thought it was the likely option as a theme that would suit you and Dante both. He is pretty excited for his big day."

Dante was even more a little Malfoy then the day he was born and he would be a heart breaker. His eyes were big as he took in the party. There was a tent but it looked like a camping tent instead of the usual party ones, making them feel like a safari tent. The usual finely manicured topiary trees and gardens had been transformed into an African plane and there was though no wild beasts running around wild. Quite the extensive muggle menagerie there for the kids to see. There was a full grown elephant that Harry had no idea how his dad got there for the kids to ride, there was a baby lion, there was a huge boa, there were three monkeys and there was even a zebra as well. Harry wondered if they had been borrowed from a zoo with some useful spells. For the many adult guests as it was Harry's birthday as well and all of his friends had been invited and the Weasleys there was African drumming and a show of dancers. There was a place to try spear throwing too. The food had a definite tropical theme. There were two cakes, one shaped as a zebra for Dante and one that looked like a little wedding cake, with tropical flowers for Harry. As many years as he was a Malfoy Harry never stopped being amazed with what his dads came up with for their birthdays.

A six month pregnant Lucius came to greet the two birthday boys with Remus at his side. "I hope that this suits both of our birthday boys."

Harry kissed his father on the cheek. "I think it is pretty cool but I am not sure about Dante over there. I am not sure if he even likes animals, or Robbie either."

That of course brought great laughter for Dante was already trying to get at the animals. Blaise laughed and took his so over to the petting zoo and after a few more moments of talking with his dads Harry took Robbie over as well. Sharing a birthday with Dante and having Robbie with him, definitely was an improvement. Dante though after gifts decided that he really needed to steal the attention once and for all from his Uncle.

Harry turned around shocked when he heard. "Ary." It was not the word for his nephew had said it before but that Dante was taking wobbly steps unaided to him.

Blaise smiled as Harry knelt down to open his arms for the boy. "He has been practicing all week and it seems he has finally managed his Uncle's birthday gift."

Beaming Harry scooped up the little boy into his arms. He kissed him on the top of the head. It was definitely he thought the best gift. Even better then the exotic trip to Africa with his husband for their anniversary the next day. Well maybe a close second really. He like his husband was looking forward to the romance.

September first had come and Harry realized he had never been more nervous in his life. He head eaten in the hall for nine years now. He had spent the past two years up at the head table as an apprentice. But this was different. This year he was no apprentice, he was a Professor. He and Neville both would be. Madam Sprout had retired, she would have a few years before but she had wanted Neville to take over and had stayed till he could. They were both looking green that day.

Severus kissed his husband as he helped do up his robes. "You will do amazing. You have done this before. And you know that the kids all love you."

Harry was not so sure. "They love me as a coach and an apprentice but they love dad you know. I mean I will never be as good as dad at DADA."

Laughter had come from his husband and from the doorway behind them. He turned to see both of his dads and Emma in the doorway. They knew he was just nervous. It would be worse tomorrow they knew when he went to actually teach his first class. Remus reminded his son of the DA and that the students adored him. The students would still have Remus, well most of them as he was still teaching transfiguration. It was Lucius who was missing. He had been liked, but he had never been as deeply loved as Harry and Remus were. He would still be on campus a lot especially now he was eight months pregnant but not in the classroom.

Remus led his son out. "Those who do not have you as a coach have had you as my apprentice. Harry you'll be usurping my top spot soon enough. No worries."

Harry finally broke into a bit of a smile and looked back at his husband. "Well I can't be the most hated professor. I don't think I can steal it from my husband."

Severus tried to look hurt but he knew his husband was correct in many way. He had become les hated since the war ended. He no longer needed to protect his snakes from all of the bias from both teachers and other students. Still he had to be very strict for the class was dangerous. Any fooling around could blow up a classroom.

Up in the great hall Harry took a place between his dad and husband, the only change was his new robes. "Okay this is not too bad."

Severus smirked and kissed him. "The first years have not even arrived my love. Just try and not spill any wine on your fine new robes."

Looking down at Neville he noticed that he was not the only one wearing new robes. No longer apprentices they were not required to wear black robes. As apprentices they had worn the standard school robes. Now they could have colors and different styles. His father had taken him to the tailor and had a whole new wardrobe, both clothes and his robes made for him. His robes that evening were a nice dark green. His dress robes before were the only coloured he had as weekends they never wore robes. It would be a change having an option here.

When the sorting was done the new teachers were introduced. Neville started and then after Remus' new job. "And Professor Harry Malfoy will be taking over DADA."

He stood up and smiled and then sat down. Severus whispered. "You look a bit pale still. Are you still nervous?"

Harry shook his head. "No. I just realized it will take some time to get used to being Professor Malfoy. That is father in my head."

It had been decided using hyphenated names was too much of a mouthful. So instead of Professor Malfoy-Snape Harry was just Professor Malfoy and his dad continued being Professor Lupin. Remus had not even hyphenated his name when he married. He had become a full Malfoy. But with Lucius and now Harry teaching there, he had been willing to teach as a Lupin instead. He was sure the name seemed as off to his dad as to Harry but his dad had longer to adjust.

Severus squeezed his hand. "You have done it my love. You are a teacher. And tomorrow you teach your first solo class."
