(A/N): Turns out this story's not really that much about Draco and Harry's journey, rather just Draco's journey to pursue Harry. Didn't see that turn coming but here it is. I hope you enjoy this little chapter!

For the ANON that asked about 'What happened to Cedric?' - Harry told Draco that they broke up in Chapter 9. "He met someone when he was in Ireland, they had a fling. He told me that he felt obligated to return to me, so I let him go. I don't wish to be with someone who thinks of me as an obligation," Harry answered

An Afternoon with Sirius and Severus

Draco rang the bell at 11:30 am at the Black Snape Potter residence in Islington. He knew they had hidden cameras at the door so he didn't linger this time as he had the first time he'd arrived. Sirius Black wearing cotton trousers and a black bathrobe answered the door. He was surprised to see Draco standing on his porch.

"Draco? Is everything alright?" Sirius asked.

"Yes sir, I just wished to speak with you for a few moments if you have the time," Draco answered politely.

"Of course son, come in." Sirius led Draco through the long hallway into the kitchen where Draco saw Severus sitting on a stool at the kitchen island.

"Mr Malfoy, what an unexpected surprise," Severus Snape greeted Draco as he stood up from his stool feeling discomfited. Draco figured that both of the men didn't expect company and were dressed too casually. Especially if their son was out of the country.

"I brought some Sherry for you. I know that Potter, I mean Harry, mentioned to me that you enjoy cooking so I thought you might like this. It's actually brewed by a colleague of mine who was experimenting with home made wines and has now gone commercial with his product." Draco handed the bottle to his godfather.

"That's wonderful, thank you," Severus replied. "Have a seat Mr Malfoy." Draco obeyed.

"Please call me Draco, Mr Malfoy is my father," Draco responded.

Severus gave Sirius a confused look who spoke next, "Draco, you know that Harry isn't here right? He's gone to –"

"Canada, yes I am aware, he left last night," Draco interrupted him. "That's why I am here. I, um, sort of like Potter. A lot, actually and…" Draco paused; he felt his face burning up. He was incredibly nervous. "I have to go to Toronto myself for a work conference in about ten days and I was wondering if you knew where he was staying. I wanted to surprise him if I could and you know –"

"What happened to your boyfriend?" Severus interrupted Draco this time.

"We broke up," Draco answered nervously.

"When?" Sirius asked.

"Yesterday," Draco answered truthfully. Both Severus and Sirius exchanged a look as Draco gulped. He was beyond nervous now and there was no turning back. "Listen, I know how this looks, and I can't justify anything. I know I came here under false pretences the first time because I wasn't looking for someone to marry because I had a boyfriend and that all sort of blew out of proportion with my father, being my father, and insulting you and your family. And, I am very sorry about that. I don't know how or why it happened but I broke up with Theo because I am in love with Harry and I know he loves me too. I just want to tell him how I feel. I messed up seriously and I gave him the wrong message and I just want to correct it. I just want him to know –"

"This is where he's staying," Sirius interrupted Draco, handing him a piece of paper with the name and address of a Toronto Marriott Downtown Eaton Centre Hotel. "He's made reservations at room 731 and he plans on being there for the entire month."

"You're helping me?" Draco asked astounded.

"We know that he loves you too, though he'd never admit it to us," Severus answered him. "If he finds out that you're now attainable, he would probably cut his trip short and fly back just so he can pursue you before anyone else can."

"Our son is a bit emotional," Sirius added. Draco couldn't help but smile at Sirius' comment as he raised his eyebrow and turned to look at his godfather.

"A trait he's inherited from his mother, along with her green eyes," Severus said, with a hint of disapproval in his tone.

"Sev here doesn't approve of emotions mixing in with business, he never has. He would probably scorn Harry if he followed his heart as opposed to his career path," Sirius commented.

"Sounds like someone I know," Draco replied.

"Why do you think they were best friends and business partners for so long?" Sirius asked, clearly knowing who Draco was indicating towards.

"But you can't pick the people you fall in love with," Draco added.

"Unfortunately, that is quite the true statement," Severus answered, raising an eyebrow towards his husband.

"Harry has definitely inherited Severus' drive for serious career objectives and ambitions, but, he also has the soft, sensitive, romantic heart that Lily and James Potter possessed. He will love that you're making such a giant leap of faith and travelling to another country to pursue him. He'll curse himself for not having thought of it in the first place." Sirius' comment comforted Draco. This was the exact encouragement he was looking for and he was glad that these weren't simply empty words. He was happy to have received Potter's parents' blessings, or at least Sirius'.

Draco remembered Potter's words from their conversation earlier that week, I want someone I think could be a challenge, someone who would make me desire to please them not someone who'd do as I command. "He wants a challenge in a career and romance," Draco stated.

"Exactly," Sirius exclaimed.

"Cedric had to chase him for months before Potter had agreed upon a date," Severus said. "He never felt whole with him but I have seen the look in his eyes when he talks about you or your name comes up in conversation. You'll have less of a challenge but you can't expect him to simply bow to your every wish," he added.

"I don't. I understand now. More than I did before," Draco answered. Draco really did. He had thoughts about this, dreams, finding the partner that completed him in every way and Potter was that partner. He got along so well with Potter not because he was nice, but because he was caring. Draco had never met anyone who was so genuinely interested in being themselves that he/she made everyone else around them just utterly comfortable with their presence. "I have no desire to change Potter from the way he is. I only want to bask in his magnificence. I am utterly grateful for your candour, and I hope to not let you down," Draco spoke, his smile was honest, and his words were sincere.

"Just remember," Severus added, "If it's meant to be, you shouldn't have to force it, it'll happen naturally." Draco smiled at Severus' comment and stood up. Sirius gave him a big hug and Severus shook his hand causing Sirius to laugh.

"He'll quote the most romantic poems but never give you a hug!" Sirius joked. Draco enjoyed spending his afternoon at the Black Snape Potter residence and hoped that things would work out with Potter so he could continue visiting them.

Now it was time to head home and reserve his flight and hotel in Toronto, Canada.

Notes: Also a reminder that I did mention earlier in the story that this was a long journey to finding that happiness so I hope you're not too unsatisfied with this chapter! I was going to write a super long one but time has not been on my side. I hope you can forgive me and I hope to give you something awesome next time! Please review!
