Christmas had been a happy family event. Ophelia would not be old enough to really enjoy it for another year but Harry had still enjoyed his little girl's first Christmas and had been touched when his husband had presented him with an ornament for her first Christmas. Lara was finally old enough to tear apart her gifts and brought a lot of cheer to the event. Hermione and Harry's dads had joined them at the manor on Christmas day. They had spent the day before at the Burrow. It was their anniversary but Harry and Lucius were postponing celebrating their one year anniversary for a day. They were heading for Egypt for ten days.

The day they were leaving his dads and Draco had taken them to the portkey terminal. Harry was a bit reluctant to leave. Star had stayed over night with his dads before but this was the first time he would be away from her for a week. His husband would have taken her but Harry reluctantly agreed they deserved some alone time.

Sirius kissed his son and took Star into his arms. "I know it is hard to be parted from her but your dad and I will take care of her. And we need the practice as well."

Remus smiled from where he held Lara. "In four months we will have to deal with more, a newborn and not yet two year old. And Star is seven months old."

Though he knew they were right he was still reluctant. He was nursing his daughter still but he had left enough bottles for the time he was gone. Dobby had assured him he would be at Grimmauld. Ever since he was named Star's nanny Dobby had shown the same absolute devotion to Star as he had to Harry. He had loved Draco when he was a baby as well. He had over looked the Malfoy last name for Star's sake for Dobby still was not a fan of Lucius.

Draco looked at his sister. "You know Hermione and I will be spending time with her as well. I promise that she will be happy and healthy when you come back."

Lucius kissed his husband. "Our daughter will be happy and safe Harry. And the two of us have already postponed our wedding anniversary for a day now."

Smiling Harry finally took a hold of the portkey. He had to admit he was really excited about the trip. They were taking the cruise for the first five days and then staying down near the pyramids. He had serious doubts he and his husband would see any sights today. He had no problems. There was one sight he wanted to see.

Lucius read his mind. "I think we might want to see a bit of Alexandria before our cruise leaves but then I think we can make good use of our suite on the boat."

Draco groaned from behind his father. "Can you two at least wait until after you leave on your little third honeymoon before you start such talk?"

Smiling as they waved as they started to feel the portkey. Harry knew how lucky he was in his husband. He had never traveled before he was adopted by his dads. Now he had been to several different countries. His husband already was thinking of their next trip. They were thinking Peru for Machu Pichu as it was another wonder as they were on their way to their third. They had yet to go any where his husband had not been as he had traveled the world but Lucius did not mind. He loved seeing the world through the eyes of his husband. It felt like the first time he had ever been there.

Their arrival in Alexandria Harry realized as he looked at the country he would not be disappointed for bed right away. "Bill has always spoken of this place."

Lucius put an arm around his waist. "I was a bit worried you might decide to go and work for Gringotts instead. You have really enjoyed your training with him."

Though he was right Harry assured his husband that he loved his work for his real job more. He had a further two months minimum training with the bank when they got back from the trip. Bill said he had little doubt Harry would only be with him for two months. He had already completed most of the skills, but the training has a minimum requirement to complete it and that was six months. Harry had really enjoyed his time working with Bill and getting closer to his big brother.

Lucius smiled. "I know you are not Hermione but I think that we should take you to the library here. I think even you will be amazed to see the library."

Harry was shocked. "I thought the library of Alexandria was like the lighthouse, destroyed centuries ago. Hermione mentioned it when he knew about our trip."

Leading him through the streets to enjoy some of the walk as their bags were sent to the boat Lucius explained that the muggle one had been. The wizarding one had been spared. It was actually still in the same spot. It was just built below the old ruins. Like the muggle one had bee known to have the most amazing collection of knowledge in the world, the wizard one still was know for it. Harry had to admit even though not a book worm, he was definitely intrigued. After the work he had done with the diving company and collecting historical documents and objects he had to admit his breath was taken away by the huge underground library. There were not only scrolls but a museum of objects and he realized with a delight that some was from his own work. This place probably rivalled the museum in Cairo/

Lucius showed him the wizard version of the Rosetta stone. "It is still used today by scholars here. I have seen the muggle version when we were in London."

Harry ran his fingers along it. "This is amazing. I thought the pyramids and maybe the museum in Cairo with the mummies would be cool but this is awesome."

They did not have long before they had to get on the boat so after the museum they walked through one of the open marks in the city and they had lunch from one of the stalls and tried some of the lovely local cuisine. Lucius smirked for he found his husband was not as adventurous in China, They were far more wild in China. He was actual glad for it after seeing Harry eating brains and such he was not sure he would want to see his husband chowing down on the beetles and more.

The cruise ship they saw little of for his husband took him to their royal suite and lowered him down on the bed. Now my love it is time to ravish your body."

Harry pulled his husband down on top of him. "I think you are far too much talk and not enough action Lucius. I'll go find a sailor if you take any longer."

Shifting himself and Harry enough to smack his husband's bum he reminded Harry what he would get if he mentioned any other man. Harry nibbled on his husband's ear and reminded him that he had quite enjoyed the last time he had been a bad boy. Lucius promised Harry could have all the spankings he wanted as he took him.

They pulled apart much later for some dinner and gifts, enjoying a fine dinner of oysters and wine. "I don't think we need any more encouragement."

Lucius fed his husband an oyster. "Only muggles believe these things help a sex drive. They just happened to be the best fresh sea good on the menu tonight."

They went soon back at it and this time their honeymoon trip they were a bit more wild and adventurous in bed for they did not have to worry about Star. They did venture out and Harry got to see the pyramids and the Sphinx, and on the way home they went to the museum in Cairo, but there was not doubt that this was a second honeymoon. They were not planning on another baby until Star was nearly two, but they definitely planned on enjoying the practice as they called it.

April was a big month. Harry had his hands full. Lara had been sent to the manor to stay with her big brother and her niece. Sirius was due any day now. Even though Remus worked from home they had not wanted Lara home. They had thought she would be scared if her dad went into labour. Harry had finished his bank training back at the end of February but he was doing his work for Jack from home once again. He wanted to be able to head for the hospital as soon as he could.

Harry was sitting in the den playing with his own eleven month old and his twenty one month old sister when Lucius came home. "Hey Luc why are you home?"

Lucius bent down and kissed him and scooped up Star who could stand but yet to take any steps. "I would be insulted but we need to rush to the hospital."

Knowing what his husband meant he scooped his sister up off the ground as he stood. He knew that his father must have gone into labour. Sirius and Remus had not been disappointed when they learned they were expecting a second daughter. They had meant it when they thought it would be nice to have two little girls to play with each other and be close. Harry when he thought about another baby thought like them but he was hoping for a son. Unlike his dads who were able to be dads to him even if he was a teen when they adopted him, Draco was his brother and not stepson no matter what he legally was. Harry wanted a little boy of his own next. Lucius would have been thrilled with either one.

Lara looked at her brother when they were heading out. "Hospital? Daddy?"

Harry nodded. "I think our new little sister is about to make her entrance into the world. You know I promised Daddy and Papa to bring you when she did."

She was excited and sure enough when they arrived they found Severus like last time around. Severus took his goddaughter and informed them that the baby had come already. She was nursing now so it would probably be about twenty minutes before they were let inside.

Hands free Harry took Star from his husband. "I am happy that they had an easier time. I remember the scare with Lara."

Lucius kissed him. "I know. I don't think I ever saw you as pale as when we were waiting to find out."

Lara had been born breach and there had been some serious risks and worry that they would need to do a c-section eventually. Harry had been relieved when his sister had come into the world naturally and had been very healthy. They had been in the waiting room for well over an hour before let in that time. Harry could wait twenty minutes and Severus got the two little ones soon distracted with a game and they did not seem to mind the wait either.

Finally a nurse came to the door. "You can all come in now. The dads want to show off their daughter."

Harry scooped up his little sister. "Come on Lara, let us go and see this new sister of ours and see if we should keep her or not."

They walked in and once again found both men in bed together with the baby in Sirius' arms. Remus motioned them over and Harry put Lara down on the bed so she could crawl up with her dads and Remus put her in his lap. Harry went to their side for a picture to be taken of the new family and scooped up his newest sister and goddaughter. He was so amazed. She looked just like Lara when she was born, Sirius in looks except for the amber eyes of Remus.

Lucius had signed the forms as he and Harry had been asked to be godfathers to his newest sister. "And what name has been chosen for this little one."

Remus smiled at his son. "We took a few suggestions this time but chose her name ourselves. So we have named her ."Rhea Iris Black."

They decided to continue the tradition of Lara. Lara was the name of the foster mother of Romulus and Remus but their birth mother was Rhea Silvia, a Vestal virgin. The name honoured not only Remus but also like Jocasta, a moon of Saturn. Iris was of course a flower to honour Lily. Both names really honoured Sirius as well for one came from space and the other from Greek myth, honouring the Black traditions.

Harry kissed his sister before handing her back. "I think you guys did well enough on your own though I did give you some suggestions."

Sirius laughed and kissed his son. "That you did and you did a wonderful job in helping name both of your little sisters. Now our family is complete."

They stayed for a time before Harry took Lara home with them again. His dad and new sister would be in the hospital until the day after that. He knew Lara would be anxious to be home with her new sister when her dads came home from the hospital/

Days after Rhea came into the world Harry was standing in front of a minister again but as a best man. He and Ophelia were serving as best man and flower girl for Draco. Hermione and Draco had flipped a coin for Hermione argued he was her best friend as well. Hermione had settled for Luna who was also a good friend, as hers..The clearing where Harry's lat birthday had been held was now being used for the ceremony. The beautiful spring day had the blossoms in the trees blooming and it was quite warm and had a much more natural feeling then the formal gardens where Harry and Lucius had taken their vow. Hermione looked beautiful in a muggle style wedding gown with her hair loose but a wreath of flowers in it.

"Do you Draco Lucius Malfoy take Hermione to be your wife and bond, united in body and soul until death?"

Draco smiled. "I do."

"And do you Hermione Jean Granger take Draco as your husband and bond, united in body and soul until death?"

Hermione was in tears. "I do."

Harry handed a ring to Hermione. "Take this ring and claim my stepson as your husband and bond while I stand witness."

Hermione shared a slight laugh at the term but slid the ring on Draco. "With this ring I claim you as my husband."

Luna handed a ring to Draco. "Take this ring and claim my friend Hermione as your wife and bond while I stand witness."

Draco slid the ring on Hermione. "With this ring I claim you as my wife."

The minister smiled. "By the powers that be I pronounce you husband and wife. Draco you may kiss your bride."

Draco pulled Hermione into a long tender kiss as everyone clapped. Harry handed Star off so he could sign the documents. When the couple were finally presented for the first time as Mr and Mrs Draco and Hermione Malfoy they were flooded with the hug and congratulations. Harry was the first to be able to congratulate them. The party moved back to the main grounds where a pavilion like structure of great arbours of birch created almost a tent as they were growing with vines of beautiful spring flowers, aided in their blooming this early of course by magic. The smell of lilacs and other fragrant flowers willed the air. The tables were done in soft spring flowers with very simple center pieces of the same flowers growing in the arbours. The only real fancy piece was an ice sculpture that was a lion and a snake entwined. It reminded Harry of his gifts from his own husband. There was a simple three course dinner of light Northern Italian cuisine. The couple were spending the week in Venice and Florence so their menu was taken from it.

Harry claimed Hermione for the second dance. "So how does it feel to be your much younger brother's stepdaughter in law?"

Hermione broke into laughter. "I had to admit hearing you call Draco your stepson was quite cute. But it does feel odd. I'd not change it but it does feel odd."

When Hermione and Draco became more serious and Harry accepted Lucius' proposal, they often wondered when this day came. It was odd but they were both happy. They were both married to the men they loved. Neither of them would have ever thought even two years ago they would both be Malfoys. Or that either of them would have been Malfoys. But Hermione looking at Draco and Harry at Lucius and Star, they knew they definitely had lucked out.

Lucius claimed his husband for a dance. "I am happy we have Star or I would be feeling like an old man with my son getting married."

Harry smiled. "You do remember your son is a month older then I am. You have your young husband to keep you feeling young, you cradle robber."

Lucius nibbled on his ear. "Cradle robber I am? Well I was thinking about a cradle but I thought in a few months we start working on a little son or daughter."

Harry smiled as he had been thinking the same thing. "Star is nearly a year and we said we wanted them around two years apart. I am up for some practice."

They both decided that they would start trying when they spent the first two weeks in August when they were away. Lucius said he liked his husband's job for Harry could not argue that he was spoiling Harry. Harry would be on a dive the first week, this time in the Antilles. Their anniversary was their big trip time they decided.

Harry rested hi head against his husband. "I would not mind another daughter like my dads, but I would kind of like my own little son this time around."

Author note: Rhea Iris Black: Rhea (Greek) means river or flowing. Rhea Silvia was the Vestal Virgin who was with Mars, the mother of Remus and Romulus. Similar to her sister's name as Lara was named after the adoptive mother of the twins. Rhea though is also a Greek Titan and the name of a moon of Saturn so is a link to Sirius as well. (Both Lara's middle name Jocasta and Rhea come from moons though Jocasta from Jupiter and Rhea of Saturn.

Iris (rainbow) was the Greco-Roman goddess of the rainbow, she connected humankind and the Gods. Not only a link to both Remus and Sirius for the myth names but as the name of a flower it is an honour to Harry following in the Evans tradition of floral names
