Harry had not returned to the classroom after his daughter was born. Not until the NEWT exams hit. Draco kept reminding Harry that he was not allowed to be the top male student officially. He did not think it was fair that Harry was only taking three classes.

Harry looked up at Draco with a smirk as his stepson said it again. "You try studying and nursing at the same time, and helping your dad mark and see how easy it is."

Draco laughed as he watched as Harry's book was levitating so he could read while his hands were occupied. "I guess you have a point there."

Harry lifted his daughter who was ready for a burp. "You better see the point. And for that comment you get to burp and change her diaper."

Groaning Draco pretended to be angry. They knew he really was not. He was like Harry with Lara. He could have done without the diapers but he loved the rest. Star definitely seemed to love her big brother as well. Just like Lara always settled for Harry even now, Draco had the same affect on his sister. Harry joked that it was big brother magic of some kind that was working on the babies.

Draco scooped up his little sister. "Well it is your turn to be quizzing me anyways so I don't need to be able to hold my books."

Harry smiled and did up his shirt. "I think I can handle that. You know you're never going to beat me on my potions exam. I have it in the bag."

That brought laughter not only from Hermione and Draco but from the doorway as well. Harry turned around and was a bit surprised. He had not realized what the time was. His husband was home from dinner and Severus was with him. The louder of the laughter had come from Severus of course.

Severus came in. "I never thought there would be a day. But I must admit a much as I have laughed, you might actually have a chance."

Lucius looked at his daughter. "I was worried about how having Star would affect your grades but it seems she has helped you up your grades even more."

With no quidditch that year he had been doing even better. He had returned to coaching a bit since Star was born. The lions had won the cup that year again. He had been proud of his team to win even if he was not on the team. The cup was being presented at graduation. Harry would receive a trophy. He had not only played earlier but he had been coaching as well as captain though honorary. The team had assured him they would have it no other way for him to be up with them.

Severus sent a series of questions at Harry and was impressed when he answered them all right. "Very impressive. Those are second year apprentice potions."

Harry smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "I was a bit stir crazy as of late. I needed to do something other then study and some how got into more potions books."

Seeing some of his own collection he was a bit surprised. Lucius admitted he had snuck his husband some. When Harry had been first recovering from labour he had been nearly on bed ret for he was quite tired from labour and nursing. Harry had grown restless and he had not been willing to read anything fiction. He said he should have been studying if anything. Lucius had hoped to bore his husband into taking a break but instead it seemed Harry actually found an interest in potions.

He shocked Severus even more when he asked. "I was wondering if you ever make the potion for those third degree burns. I would love to help you if you do."

Severus almost choked when he heard and realized Harry was serious about it. "I would not be opposed to that. I do work on such potions often during the summer."

He had seen Harry doing so much better in school in potions but he had never imagined this. Never in his life would he have thought Harry would volunteer to help. He shared a look with Lucius wondering if Harry was in a right state of mind. He was a bit worried one of the elves had given Harry the wrong potion or something. Lucius shrugged and seemed just as shocked but he assured his best friend as far as he knew his husband had not been slipped something.

Severus accepted his goddaughter when Draco was done with her diaper. "Little princess are you feeling well? Your daddy's milk is not tasting strange is it?"

Harry smirked and took Star. "If you keep trying to convince my daughter that her daddy is wrong in the head, I will reconsider her godfather."

Laughing Severus reminded her that he could not change it. He knew though that Harry would only joke. Harry wanted Severus to be in her life. He knew what an important part of Draco's life the man had been. He knew how important Severus was to Draco and his husband as well as to his dad as well. Star would always know him. She would always know and love both of her godfathers. And Harry had to admit that he really enjoyed having the man around as well.

Severus sat down and Harry let him take Star back. "I heard from your dads this morning. They say Lara is quite excited about seeing her big brother soon."

Harry smiled. "I know after the year ends I will get to see my dads a lot more now that I will be working in London with you but I am excited to see them as well."

Harry would be starting work but not until September. He wanted the first few months with Star. He had wished she had been born after graduation. He hated he had to concentrate o his studies. Lucius assured him if he got bored they would find him some work for the business he could do from home. He doubted Harry could last the entire summer with nothing but their precious daughter to keep him busy. He knew Harry was excited about his new job.

Lucius kissed his husband. "Well you do very well on your exams and maybe we extend your vacation this summer from two weeks to maybe closer to a month."

Harry smiled. "I think I could be convinced to do that. As long as the trip still includes a stay in that suite in Dagger cove. You have a promise to keep."

Holding his husband in his arms Lucius assured his husband that he had not forgotten. It had been their last night there that Lucius realized Harry might be really coming around to love and perhaps marry him. He had told Lucius that night that he was willing to consider a honeymoon there. They would have Star with them but they would bring Dobby and they would have plenty of time for romance along the way.

Harry, Draco and Hermione shared top honours receiving O's across the board in all of their classes. Harry had kept his surprising prediction of potions true. He had beat Draco by 1 percent and had tied him in DADA though Draco had beat him in charms. Lucius was incredibly proud of both his husband and his son. The morning of the ceremony they were having a family breakfast. The Granger who had come for the ceremony had been invited for breakfast as well as Harry's dads as well.

Lara smiled and opened her hands. "Harry. Happy."

Harry took his sister for Star was with her daddy. "Hey little princes, I am happy too. Would you like to take a look at your new little niece?"

Lara had not seen her since just after she was born and she nodded. "Star."

Harry smiled at his little sister. He was amazed at how much his little sister was able to talk when he was not even a year old, well she would be soon. He knew it was because in part that both her dad had been home with her. While he planned on working of course Harry had every intention of having the same affect on Star. He and Lucius had every intention of being home at good hours and being there as much as possible for their daughter. She would never be nanny rained as Draco had been.

Harry hugged his dads and Sirius handed him a gift. "Something for our amazing son. We are so proud that you have graduated and top of your class Harry."

Remus nodded. "And before you and Lucius say anything remember that you can not turn down any kind of gifts."

They had considered doing the extra two weeks for Harry and Lucius for they had heard but Harry and Lucius decided to spend those first two weeks in Cornwall. They would wait to do more travel when Star was old enough to enjoy. She would be coming of course. They would leave her with her grandfathers when they went to Egypt as she was a bit older but they would not leave her when she was only three months old. So his dads decided on another idea. They knew their son was not into jewellery and unlike Draco who had got cufflinks from his dad, Harry had already got hi.

Harry looked down at this. "This is the reservations for us to stay at a luxury resort in Giza as well as a five day Nile cruise this winter."

Sirius shared a look with Lucius. "You refused to let u give you Black Crest as a gift and paid for it but we wanted to see your vacation seen to."

Though Lucius was richer then the Black and definitely did not need the help he knew it meant a lot. The fathers had made one special plans a well. They had definitely already seen to some surprises for Harry and Lucius. The two men would not know until they got there though.

Harry was touched and thanked them but his attention was distracted for he saw the way Draco was looking. "Okay stepson of mine spill it."

Draco looked at him. "I have no idea what you are going on about Harry."

Knowing each other all too well he knew that Draco had something g up his sleeve. He had been looking at Hermione oddly all day. He had even seen a private conversation between Draco and Michael. He knew the two had got long well at Eater but that till seemed a bit odd to him. He took his brother into his bedroom and closed the door, intent on the truth out of Draco before he allowed him to leave.

Draco finally gave in and took a box from his pocket. "I intend on proposing to Hermione at the end of the ceremony this afternoon."

Harry was amazed but excited. "This is incredible Draco. How long have you known?"

He told Harry about his decision and having asked Michael for hi permission at Easter time. He knew that Hermione would say yes. They would not start a family till Hermione was done law school of course. They would both be too busy with studies before then and their work after that. But they both wanted kids.

Harry hugged him. "I and Hermione often joked about how odd it would be if we both married our Malfoys. Now I guess we will see what it is like."

Draco hook his head. "She has not even said yes but considering you are her best friend and you think she will, I might take that as a good sign. I hope."

Smirking Harry assured his brother that Hermione would never say no to him. He was as in love with Draco a he was with her. He knew Draco was taking a chance proposing in front of everyone in the Great Hall at the ceremony but Harry truly believed that his stepson had nothing at all to be worried about.

Harry led Draco out. "We should get back out there or your future in laws and Hermione will be wondering. You don't want her to guess something is up."

Draco had put the ring box away. "I just hope that I don't fall on my face or stumble over my words. Maybe I am being an idiot to propose in front of everyone."

Harry reminded his friend that he was studying to be an attorney. If he could not handle proposing to Hermione in front of the school he was in trouble. Draco looked a bit more at ease he had to admit. And he could see Draco' eye on Hermione. Draco may have been his stepson and best friend but they were more brothers. He loved Hermione like a sister and definitely was thrilled by the prospect of them all being a real family.

Lucius came to his husband's side. "What do you think Lord Malfoy are you ready to graduate from Hogwarts?"

Harry shared a look with his two friends. "I was starting to wonder if this day would ever come but yes, I am excited. I can't believe this day is finally here."

Seven years he had spent here. He knew his husband had considered staying to teach DADA if Harry wanted to teach it down the road. Harry had considered the option but in the end his real love lay with the work with the diving department. He was really excited about his curse breaking course with Bill in September.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The students had all been lead into the Great Hall as they had in the sorting ceremony in their freshman year. Instead of the house table all of their friends and family were there in row of chairs. The Weasleys had come even though Ron would not graduate for Harry and Hermione were their family. Star was sitting with her grandfathers as Lucius was on stage. His old quidditch buddies were there as well.

Hermione looked at Harry and squeezed his hand as they were both looking at the red heads. "I know. It some how feels strange not having him here with us."

Harry squeezed hers back. "He deserves to be in prison for what he did to us. But he was with us from the train until last year. It seems so odd."

As the sorting hat started calling people up they both thought about the three who were missing from the group. Neville and Harry were the only Gryffindor boys graduating that year. Neville would be apprenticing with Madam Sprout for three years. Hermione came next among his friends. Draco came right before Harry and he smiled as he watched his stepson and brother. He was amazed. Back when they sorted he thought Draco a stuck up pureblood and hated him for four and a half school years. They had grown as close as brothers could be and they were inseparable. Not to mention harry was his stepfather.

Finally Harry laughed as he realized how much he had changed as well when he was called. "Black-Malfoy, Harry James. Gryffindor quidditch captain and prefect."

Even hi name had changed and he was happy for that as after he received his diploma his husband greeted him with a kiss. "I am so proud of you my love."

Looking g out at the others he knew that all his family was. He had been an orphan when he came here. Now he had two dads, a sister, the Weasleys who had grown with kids, and of course Hermione and Luna. Not to mention his stepson, his husband and now his beautiful little girl who he loved more then life.

As the ceremony finished with Blaise and the head girl and boy were asked to come forward as they were also top students, to receive a special award Harry shared a look with his husband. He was aware that Lucius had known. He knew where the ring had come from. He was not mad for he could never have kept the secret.

Draco dropped down to one knee. "Hermione I love you. I know when we first met because of my dad's role I had to pretend to hate you but we have become friends and now the loves of each other's lives. You make me a better person just being around you. You challenge me, you support me, make me happier then I ever thought possible. Marry me."

Hermione was in tears but she managed to squeak out a small "Yes."

Draco slid the beautiful platinum and solitaire diamond ring on to her hand and as the entire hall erupted into applause he swung her around for a kiss. Harry was the first one to congratulate them but her parents and friends soon joined them. Hermione was touched when she learned that Draco had asked her dad for his blessing.

Lucius came over to his husband as they were heading out for the lunch on the grounds. "Just to make sure you know Star and I are both amazed with her Papa."

Harry kissed his husband and daughter. "I could not have done this without either of you. Thank you for being so amazing."

Life would be so different. They had already packed up most of their things. Their apartments would be finished packing by the elves while they were at lunch. They were leaving school that evening to move home to the manor. They would come back for visits but they would not live here again. Harry was ready though for the next stage in his life. He was ready for a career and his future with his husband and the baby.
