In the end the wedding had been postponed. Though he had returned to classes on Friday, Harry was still far too weak to travel for the weekend and his dads assured him again that they didn't mind waiting an extra weekend. Harry had to admit he had been glad to go back to classes for he had been restricted to bed for over a week except a few hours for dinner and a bit of company when he was permitted to be on the couch. Lucius made sure he was on the couch when Remus had visited and when Draco or his friends came for he had wanted Harry as comfortable as possible and insisted Harry remain in their bed even when sick.
The following Friday Lucius turned to him at breakfast. "You have been excused from helping me this afternoon. You and Sev will be leaving at lunch time."
Harry smiled. "You know you don't have to look so sad. I am only going for two nights and you agreed to this."
Lucius pulled him into a kiss. "That was before I knew I'd only have you back in my arms a few nights ago. I'm going to be lonely without you."
Harry kissed him tenderly. "It is only two night and you know how much this means to me to be with my dads. I'll have a cold other side of the bed too."
Lucius kissed his nose. "Some how I know that doesn't disappoint you as much as it does me. But I'll live. You need to be with your dads."
While Harry had yet to really have a chance to use his free night a week as he had been so ill, Lucius remembered Harry's question if he could still sleep with him every night if he chose. He knew though Harry would be pleased for two nights away from him, though he was to kind to admit it.
Lucius nibbled on his ear a bit. "I am tempted to keep you in for the morning but I don't think Sev would let me get away with it. He'd know you're not sick."
Harry didn't pull away from the returned attention to his earlobe. "Considering he is escorting me to the wedding this afternoon, I happen to think you're right."
Lucius gave up his attack but not before one last kiss. "I still can't believe those two made peace. I've been telling Sev to for a long time but never thought..."
"He'd listen? I know, but dad and Sev both have too few friends to pass this up. And they were once brothers." Harry finished for him.
Lucius had always unlike the marauders, been in the picture. He had been the one to protect Severus from the other Slytherin who picked on him for he was not charming or even a pureblood. They had grown closer as Remus started spending time with the marauders until they too became like brothers. Lucius had been his only friend left when he had called Lily a mudblood but even after all that Lily and Remus had been the ones to help both men become spies. Their friendship had not healed but Remus had still cared about Severus enough to try and help him and Lucius when they were desperate.
Lucius finally led him from the apartments. "Dobby is packing a bag for you. Your father sent word to the little elf what you'd need for where ever you're going."
Harry was happy to hear that. "I really don't understand why those two are being so secretive about this. I mean all we know is to meet them at Grimmauld."
Lucius shrugged. "They have a romantic wedding planned after all of these years, though the surprise usually would be for one of them and not their witnesses."
Harry snorted. "Well who ever said that either of my fathers were in any way traditional people? I'm just glad they could change plans on such short notice."
He had a feeling for their son to be there they would have waited till Christmas if they had to for having Harry at the wedding meant the world to both of his fathers. Lucky for them they had just had to postpone it a week but he knew Harry still felt guilt for the couple should have made it to the altar when he was a baby.
When Harry came into the Great Hall he went and sat with Draco at Slytherin. Draco smiled. "Excited about taking off for the weekend?"
Harry nodded as he grabbed for some toast. "Unlike you this is new to me being able to leave on weekends. I never had a family to take me off campus before."
Draco shrugged. "It comes in handy from time to time though with quidditch it was rare. Next year we can leave on our own on weekends and most weeknights."
Hermione laughed. "Maybe weekends but you forget we're going to be so busy with studying for NEWTS, weeknights likely will be to busy."
Draco and Harry shared a laugh and a smile. Though Draco rivalled Hermione in grades, he did not worry about them as much as she did. He had other obsessions like quidditch, on his mind too. But watching the two together Harry had this itching feeling something had changed between the two of them as of late.
He looked between them. "Did something happen when the two of you had to go to Hogsmeade without me last weekend? Draco, she didn't hex you did she?"
Hermione and Draco were both blushing and it was Draco who answered. "Well kind of more like kissed. Or well I should say I kissed her. We kind of had a date."
Harry broke into laughter at the anxious looks they both were sending him, wondering how he would react to the news that his brother and his best friend had gone on their first date. He put them at ease and asked them to tell him more about their day in town. Harry had to admit he thought they made a very cute couple.
In potions Draco turned to him and whispered. "You really don't mind that I am dating your best friend? I mean we both care about you too much to ruin it."
Harry shook his head. "You're right you are my brother and she is my best friend. I want you guys to both be happy. I kind of think you make quite a couple."
Draco swatted him in the arm at the sounds of that but he could tell his brother was genuinely relieved to heat him say that and he meant every word. Now he just hoped Draco might be as open minded if he ever found out about Harry and his father. He didn't think so but he could hope, or pray Draco never found out.

Severus and Harry boarded the knight bus to head for London and when they were seated, after walking there in near silence, Severus decided to try and make small talk it seemed.
"I see my godson and your best friend have started seeing each other. I noticed in town that weekend. How do you feel about that?" Severus asked.
Harry shrugged. "I think they make a good couple. It's kind of cute really. As long as neither hurts the other because I'd hate to have to hex my brother or friend."
Severus chuckled a bit. "Put you in a bit of a tight position. You know I think she is good for my godson. And Lucius will approve. Now he doesn't have to spy."
Harry had seen Lucius interact with Hermione more then once including that summer and he knew that Lucius would not have a real issue with his son going out with a muggle born. He'd have been a slight hypocrite considering he kept professing his love to a half blood.
Harry decided to try and keep the talk going for once. "Any idea what they have planned for the weekend? They had Dobby pack for me."
Severus shook his head. "Better luck you had, they had Kreacher come and pack for me. You'd think they could have just told my personal elf."
Harry reminded him that his personal elf might have been obliged to tell him where they were going as he was his master. Dobby was loyal to Harry but did not belong to him and Kreacher when he did actually take orders, only took them from members of his family, so basically a Malfoy, Sirius or Harry. He assumed after the wedding Remus would be included in that as he was to take Black as well.
When they clambered off the bus they found the would not have long to wait as both his dads were on the doorstep. Remy hugged him. "Glad to see you're better."
Sirius pulled him into a hug. "Sorry I had not been able to come and visit but unlike my fiancé over there, I never had the dragon pox when I was a child."
Harry groaned even at the mention. "Then count your blessings as I wish I could say the same thing. Now where are we going finally?"
Remus held out a strange platter. "Grab a hold and in a few moments you will see for yourself. I think you will approve."
Harry and Severus both adjusted their bags and grabbed a hold of the portkey and Harry closed his eyes fighting the need to throw up as they were tugged behind the naval by the portkey. Someone reached out to steady him when they landed.
"Open your eyes cub. I promise it gets better." Remus encouraged him and he realized it was Remus who had an arm around his waist.
Harry opened his eyes and again the person who never traveled before, now only to Cornwall, looked in surprise. "Paris?"
Sure enough they were standing on a balcony of some kind of townhouse he realized and he could see the Eiffel tower in the distance. For people who lived in London Paris was not far away but Harry had never been and from what he knew of the city, it was probably one of the most romantic choices they could make.
Sirius led him inside. "Lucius has lent us the house. We have one in France but down in Bordeaux. He thought we'd be more comfortable then a hotel."
Remus pointed at a door. "That is your suite cub. We are going to be married at sundown tomorrow at the top of the Eiffel tower. We thought it a perfect idea."
Severus actually smiled a bit at that and turned to Sirius. "I must say mutt that you have a far more romantic side then I took you for."
Sirius growled but softened his smirk. "I keep reminding myself how much you mean to my fiancé. For his sake and our son, I am offering to extend our truce."
Severus thought for a moment for they had not really had a truce other then to stay out of each other's ways that summer. Sirius and Lucius managed to be civil and he and Remus had mended some fences but he and Sirius had been another matter.
"For Remus I agree. I'd like my brother back in my life and you for better or worse are soon to be his husband." Severus finally said.
Remus smiled and kissed his fiancé and sent a grateful look at Severus. "Thank you. I don't expect you to be friends but it would be easier if you were civil at least."
Harry was ushered into his rooms to settle in and change for they were going to do some sight seeing that day and the next before the wedding so that Harry could see some of the city at least and have some fun. On Sunday Remus and Sirius would head to Bordeaux on a week long honeymoon and Severus would take Harry back to the UK with the portkey and return him to school.

Harry had never thought he'd enjoy a wedding weekend as much as he had. They had tried to get to show him as much as they could including the Louvre and the Arc de Triumph. The city was so beautiful and he could imagine spending weeks exploring it all. Severus joined them for a bit, on Friday but Saturday it was just the three of them for some father/son time.
In time for sunset the four of them headed to the top of the Eiffel tower where they had an amazing view of the city. "This is such an amazing spot." Harry gushed.
Sirius smiled. "I wanted some where special where we could celebrate how many years we have been in love even when a part. Here we are kind of on top of the world."
Really just on top of the city but Harry could see the look on Remus' face that his second father approved of the choice of local. They were on a muggle spot so Dobby had not packed his fancy new dress robes but a nice set of tailored clothes he had received from Lucius to wear under them. It was odd to see the adults in fancy muggle clothes but he smiled.
The minister started the ceremony. "We are gathered here tonight to unite these two men in marriage and bond. They have chosen to write their own vows."
Remus smiled. "We started dating in our sixth year after over three years as friends. You were the good looking playboy and I was the shy prefect. I never got why you'd want me. And after school when I couldn't work you took care of me. You love me and offered me a home and a life. We were engaged to be married, you proposed to me on our new son's first birthday. We were torn apart by this war, by our friends' death and you being in prison but fate brought us back. Fate has given us a chance to be a father to our son, and to finally marry. I never stopped believing you innocent and never stopped loving you. You are my life.
"Do you Remus John Lupin take this man as your husband and bond till death?"
"I do."
Sirius smiled. "When James brought you into our group I thought it was to impress Lily who he already had a crush on, or because of an odd fascination when we realized you were a wolf. But I came to see your amazing sense of humour, your incredible skill at charms, and your wonderful heart. I was the lucky one. I had all this money from a family I hated, that I thought tainted. You gave me a purpose for it. I could never have asked you to wait when I was in prison but you did. You remained loyal and believed in me. When I was freed you helped me stay free and you restored me, you and our son. Now I am free for real and we can marry as we planned a decade and a half ago to do. I want to be your husband, dad to our son there and hopefully father to more. I love you with all my heart Moony."
"Do you Sirius Orion Black take this man as your husband and bond till death?"
"I do."
The minister turned to Harry. "As the son of these two men do you attest to their rights to enter into this marriage, and stand as witness?"
Harry smiled and nodded as he handed a ring to Sirius. "I do."
Sirius put the ring on his fiancé. "With this ring I take you as my husband."
The minister turned to Severus. "As the pledged brother of Remus do you attest to their rights to enter into marriage and stand as witness?"
Severus was actually smiling. "I do."
Remus took the ring from him and slit it into place on Sirius' hand. "With this ring I take you as my husband."
The minister smiled. "I pronounce you husbands. Sirius you may kiss your groom."
After a long passionate kiss and the paper work the couple broke with formality and hugged their two witnesses and led them off to the side. A table just big enough for all of them was there with wine and candles, and a beautiful catered dinner from one of the top restaurants in Paris. The ceremony and a small dinner with a desert of bonbons was just what they wanted. As Harry and Severus later saw them off to a hotel in a horse drawn carriage, both were smiling. They were both genuinely happy to see the couple married at last and in love.
