Harry may have been nervous the day before at the opening feast but it was nothing compared to his first day of classes. Robbie had been picked up by Percy who was taking him to his mother for the day. Harry had only intended for a few days a week for he did not want to impose but that had changed. Molly would take Robbie every day. Lucius had offered after his newest made their entrance he would take Robbie some days but Harry was not certain about that. Lucius would have his hands full enough with a three year old and a newborn without adding his grandson who would be eleven months old when the new baby came, well nearly, to the picture.

Severus came up behind him and kissed the back of his neck as he was dressing. "Robbie is off for the day and if we want breakfast before class we need to go."

Harry turned into his husband's arms. "I know I am being stupid. I know I taught the DA and have been apprenticing for two years but I am still feeling sick."

Pulling his husband close Severus assured Harry he would be an incredible teacher. Harry was the only one who seemed to have any doubts about that. Harry had been considered the obvious choice for a teacher there. He was amazing with the students. And not just as a coach. He had it quite easy today. They were first and second year courses mainly. It seemed fate was smiling on him and trying to make life easy for him.

Severus handed him a beautiful new leather briefcase. "I want to make sure my amazing husband is well fitted up for his first day as a teacher."

Harry was amazed and pulled his husband into a tender kiss. "Thank you. You're an amazing man and husband."

Though he was tempted to draw his husband back in for more Severus was reminded Harry needed to eat. He was always on his husband about eating more. The fact he was still nursing meant he needed to keep eating a good amount of food. He knew even if he did not really have any practical based classes this year, his husband would need his energy. He knew Harry would do amazing but if he did not eat the nerves and the lack of food would be enough to make him pass out.

He led Harry out of their bedroom but Harry was touched to find breakfast waiting for them. "I thought class was soon enough to make you look even greener."

Harry smacked his husband in the arm. "You are not as funny as you seem to think my love. But thank you for ordering up breakfast."

Helping his husband sit down he saw Harry was touched to find his favourites. Since Robbie was already gone Harry had no excuse not to eat. He had thought Harry might claim an upset stomach. He had ordered his husband's favourites in hopes that Harry would not protest as much. He was relieved to see Harry ate everything. He saw his husband off to the stairs up from the dungeons as he had his own class to get to.

Harry entered into his classroom and after dropping his things off in what he realized was now his office and not his dad's he was trying to get himself ready. He barely noticed his own photos on the walls. It seemed so odd. He had been given a small one of his own but to have the big official DADA office was amazing.

He headed back into the classroom and found his first of first year lions and snakes waiting for him. "Good morning. Is everyone ready to start the year off?"

The students looked petrified even those who grew up around magic. He remembered the feeling. But they responded. "Yes Professor Malfoy."

Harry smiled. "I know you guys are probably aware of who I am. But I'll tell you a secret I am just as nervous as you are. This is my first year and class as a teacher."

Of course other then some muggle borns the students knew who he was. Even with his adopted name. They had all thought it cool that the famous Harry Potter was their new DADA professor. Harry had been as nervous as they were when he started here and he found himself telling them a story. Hearing that their professor as well as Harry Potter had bee nervous like them had put the kids at ease and had calmed his nerves. By the time his three morning classes were done he was fine.

He did have one practical class in the evening before dinner and it was his seventh year NEWTS but he knew it was time for the NEWT speech. All sixth and seventh years groaned about it. They received the infamous talk from every teacher on the first day of class. Harry had been told it was required.

One of Harry's snakes came in among the seventh years. "Good, at least we should not be bored by another horrible speech."

Harry shook his head. "Justin I remind you that I am your professor now and you need to watch what you say. I don't want my snakes missing their captain/keeper."

When he and Draco had graduated Justin Pucey had taken over as the new keeper and had been appointed captain this term. Harry could not play favourites. He was allowed to coach both the lions and the snakes because even Minerva knew he would never play favourites. But he had to admit he was pleased with the success of his snakes the past few years. He could not deny seeing the house he had graduated from, continuing to win, had felt good. The team had not lost since Harry had been on the team. Four years of cups under their belt was a record that made his husband very proud of his coaching abilities and happy to have him with the snakes.

Harry looked at the class. "I know you guys have had this speech all day and trust me I remember it all too well but unfortunately it is just a part of the course."

One of the girls put up her hand. "We would not tell anyone if you did not give the speech professor. It would be just our secret."

Harry laughed. "I will forget I heard that Sarah. I think I will try to keep to the teaching rules at least for the first term before I start breaking them."

That was met by some good natured laughter but Harry kept his speech pretty basic and quick and they spent the last of the class discussing the plan for the year. Harry was smiling when he met his husband and dads at the door to the Great Hall for dinner. Lucius had retrieved Robbie for them and Harry took up his son.

He kissed his son and his husband. :Okay so it was not as scary as I thought it might be though I was expecting to throw up or drop something, all morning long."

Remus shook his head. "You are too humble my son. You are an incredible teacher. I had some of your students after you and they were all bragging about you."

As they made it to the table Harry was happy to find his dad enjoyed his first day as well. He had felt slightly odd about taking DADA from his dad. Remus had reminded him that he was the one who suggested it in the first place. And that transfiguration had always been one of his two favourites. He had always done well kin DADA because he had such a strong foundation in charms and transfiguration. DADA was a bit of a mix of the two in many ways for the practical side. Remus had favoured charms and transfiguration as a student and was more then happy to return to one of his loves. And of course to allow his son to teach his baby.

It seemed Robbie was not the only addition to the Malfoy family who decided they wanted to make an early entrance into the world. It was the Saturday afternoon of Halloween and Harry and Robbie were visiting his dads. Lucius was two weeks away from his due date so had started his paternity leave again. Lucius had not had to change much. He rarely had to go in to work anyways for he could do it by owl and Emma and the new baby would not change that. Emma had her nanny elf or had been to the Burrow some times when her Papa had to go to work.

Lucius was holding his grandson when he noticed something. "Harry I think you need to take the little man here."

Harry noticed the wet spot and scooped up his son. "Hey Emma how about you come to have dinner with me and Severus and Robbie in the Great Hall?"

Hearing his son's change of topic Remus appeared and realized what was happening. Emma was excited to have dinner with her brother and brother in law so they could take Lucius up to the infirmary. Emma did not need to be worried about her dad. Harry promised as he was taking his sister and son out that he would contact his brother and Blaise, and would bring Emma when the baby was born.

Harry found his husband in their sitting room. "I need to contact my brother and see if he wants to join us for the Halloween feast this evening."

Severus understood without having to explain. "It seems a bit of short notice but there is the dance all evening and I am sure Dante would like to be here."

Leaving his son and sister with Severus he went over to floo call Draco. Draco was thrilled to hear that his father had gone into labour. He promised he would get his husband and son and they would come as soon as they could. Harry knew that Draco and Blaise were starting talking baby number two like Harry and Severus. He was not sure but he thought they might already be trying since Dante was at the point where Dante would be two years old when his sister or brother was born. Robbie was only ten months old so it would be some time before they started trying for a daughter.

Harry turned back and scooped up his sister. "Should we go up for the feast? Your other big brother and nephew will be joining us soon. They are on their way."

Emma nodded. "I want to see the bats and the pumpkins and everything. Halloween is my favourite holiday."

As they headed up stairs Harry thought he and Draco night need to consider a change in name for their new sibling. They had been allowed to choose the name completely again. They had a bit harder time choosing one for their new sibling then they had with Emma but they had picked one they quite liked.

Robbie was all eyes when they came into the hall for his first Halloween. "It seems we have another little Halloween buff in our family."

Severus laughed and kissed his son. "I have not met a child alive who does not love Halloween. And I think by the end of the night that will grow even more."

They knew that Emma was so excited about finally being a big sister after having two big brothers. She had been helping choose stuff for the baby. She had seen the nursery only because she had sworn to her brothers that she would not tell their dads. He had his doubts they did not at least know some of the room. But what details they would have understood from Emma would not compare to the beautiful Africa inspired room the boys had come up with this time for their new sibling.

Draco arrived not long after and as he sat down with Harry putting Emma in his lap he smiled. "So are we going to consider a name change for the new member?"

Harry shook his head. "I was thinking the same thing but it took us so long to come up with our choice. I think that we should stick with the choice we have made."

His brother readily agreed and reminding Draco that they did not want Emma worried, with a look, he changed topics. It was not long after dinner when a student they knew had been helping Poppy in the infirmary. Severus had not been called for there was a nursing student volunteering this summer and came a few days a week. Harry smiled and nodded and scooping up Robbie he and his family headed up for the infirmary. They smiled when they entered and found their dads in bed together with a newly nursed bundle of pink in Lucius' arms. The men had got their wish. They had meant it when they said they would be happy with a third son but they had really wanted a little girl. They had wanted to have their two youngest close and be able to play and balance it out as well as they had two sons. They also knew their sons were hoping for daughters next and even though they could both end up with sons again, it would be cute for granddaughters and sons together.

Emma beamed when Draco put her down on the bed. "My new sister?"

Remus reached and brought his daughter into his arms. "Yes sweet heart this is your new sister. And she is definitely another unique little member of the clan."

Harry was handed his little sister and he and Draco were mooning over her as their husbands signed as godfathers. Since Harry and Draco were to Emma, the men had named their two son in laws for their newest daughter. The new member was Remus in looks where Emma had the Malfoy features. The appearance was basically a switch. Emma had the Malfoy features and Remus' coloring but now this one had the Malfoy blond and blue eyes, but was Remus in his features.

Remus looked at the brothers. "Okay big brothers we trusted you with the name choice a second time, now what have you chosen for this little one?"

Draco did the introductions. "We took a bit longer for our newest sister. This little one we decided to name Bianca Electra Malfoy."

They had considered a floral name like Emma but had decided to go in the other direction. They had chosen Emma from among flowers for it was a character in Othello which was their fathers' absolute favourite. Bianca was also a character from Shakespeare including from Othello as well as Taming of the Shrew. Electra carried on the Black tradition of astral names from Draco being a constellation and Emma's middle name being a moon. Electra was a star in Taurus.

Lucius took his daughter back. "We made the right choice to allow you guys to name her though we might insist on naming your two's next children."

Harry shared a smile with his brother and his husband. "We thought if we had daughters you two could choose a middle name for our next children."

Blaise and Severus had both suggested it to their husbands and Harry and Draco had agreed it made sense. Blaise shared a smile with his husband as they had been trying for a month now and though they had no luck yet they were hoping for one soon.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Christmas was quite the festive affair this year. Both Dante and Robbie were old enough to tear into the gifts. Dante of course had been alive last Christmas but he had been too young. Robbie would be celebrating his first birthday in a few days. And of course baby Bianca was nursing as she was not yet two months old. Robbie to the absolute delight of the entire family had a very special surprise even for his dads.

Emma alerted them to it. "Harry, look, look Harry. Look at Robbie."

Harry looked at his son and was in absolute tears. "Is he going to do it?"

Robbie had been taking steps using furniture but he had let go of the table and was standing there on wobbly legs. Severus was not sure he would take the next step so he knelt down a few baby steps from Robbie and opened his arms for his son. Robbie took a few more seconds of waiting and then took a few wobbly steps. He did not make it all the way to his Papa's arms but Severus was close enough to snatch him before he fell.

Harry joined them and kissed his son. "You are amazing little man. Now that is the perfect Christmas gift for me and your Papa."

Robbie held out his hands to Harry, "Daddy."

Laughing Harry scooped up his son into his arms and carried him to the tree and sat down to help his son open the gifts. As he sat with his son in his lap he saw all the pink every where for his sisters and he had to admit he could not wait till that spring when he and Severus started trying for their own little girl. Hermione and Viktor had announced when he had dinner with them the night before that they were five weeks pregnant and due in the middle of August. It meant Hermione would only be seven months pregnant when she graduated law school which was how they hoped it would be.

Draco though had a special gift for his brother and fathers. "Well you guys know that we wanted to start soon trying for a second child. And we found out yesterday."

Blaise finished for him. "I am pregnant again. It was a bit early but because of this cold I had a dizzy spell. I am just about two weeks pregnant. Due mid September."

The news brought a lot of cheer to an already happy morning in the house. Harry took the news better this time then last. He knew he and Severus would have a second but Robbie was not even a ear and they wanted to wait a few months to try. Dante would be two six weeks before his sister or brother was born.

Lucius hugged his son and son in law. "We will keep you to the promise of middle names."

Blaise laughed and kissed his cheek. "I think we can trust you. You won't give them something horrid after the amazing job your sons have done with the girls."

Remus agreed with his son in law. "Now we just need to get Harry pregnant as well so that like Dante and Robbie, these two can go to school together."

Though it had not been planned there was a chance that they might once again Harry knew. He laughed when he realized if Robbie had been born on his actual due date, that instead of going to school with Dante he would have gone to school with Bianca, his Aunt, instead of his cousin.

Severus smiled as he looked at the kids at their gifts. "We're definitely going to have a busy Christmas with another one, maybe two under that tree."

Draco laughed. "If you two have a little girl we might need a bigger tree. With all these kids we might not see the floor any more with all of the gifts under them."

Holding to his husband Harry was reminded once again at this time of year how lucky he was to have this amazing family. He had gone from orphan to extended family and Robbie was so lucky. He was so lucky. They were taking Robbie to the Burrow tomorrow and Petunia and Dudley were coming for his birthday party.

Author note: Bianca Electra Malfoy: Bianca (Latin) fair or white skinned, is a character in both Othello and Taming of the Shrew, Othello being a favourite play of both Remus and Lucius, Emilia was chosen as a floral name but also because of Othello, Bianca just for the character

Electra (Greek) shinning one, refers to one of the Pleiades, a cluster of stars known as the seven sisters, in Taurus. Electra was the mother in Greek myth of the founder of Troy, after being raped by Zeus, daughter of Atlas
