Chapter Twenty Five: Lunch Date

The next morning Harry woke to the smell of coffee and noticed that Tom was waving a cup under his nose, "Mm, morning," sitting up he was handed the coffee which he sipped sleepily, "What time is it?"

"About five," Lucius said setting a small breakfast down for Harry, he kissed the teen's forehead, "We have some work to do today, and we have to leave at seven and wanted breakfast with you first.

"What work?" Harry asked suddenly awake, "Can I help?" he was working with them now and he wanted to help getting Tom to kiss his forehead as well he sighed and sipped his coffee again knowing the answer already.

"It's Ministry related," Tom explained before tracing Harry's cheek, "We should be home by lunch."

"I'll make something special then," Harry said smiling brightly and getting both to kiss his forehead before he kissed their cheeks, "This is turning into a habit," he meant the kissing.

The two men traded a look before Lucius scooped Harry close while Tom kissed Harry's face, butterfly kisses, as the teen laughed and wiggled around trying to get away from the kisses Lucius helped Tom by kissing his neck and shoulders. After a few minutes Tom paused as did Lucius and he asked the teen, "Bad habit or good?"

"Good," Harry laughed laying across Lucius's lap as he panted some from laughing so much, "Where is my coffee?' he asked suddenly changing topic instantly, he saw the cup and swooped in snagging it and drinking some since it was still early morning.

When they left about seven he just explored the house some, he tidied up and put away their gifts. He decided to make them a very special lunch since they were being so nice to him, so he did not use magic since he had found using magic while cooking dulled the flavors just a bit. As he sliced the green peppers for the salad he thought about what else to make and smiled before he made some steak by first marinating it in a bath of soy sauce and honey making a sweet sort of Asian beef. Carrots, tomatoes, cucumber and homemade croutons went in the dish along with sliced boiled eggs and some shredded cheese he shredded from a block in the refrigerator.

The beef was put on to fry as the salad part was set aside, he made a homemade vinaigrette for the salad and then started making a dessert which turned out to be a chocolate silk cream pie with white chocolate roses on top. He was humming as he cooked and did not notice the two men come home around eleven thirty he was busy putting the fresh homemade bread in the oven so when he turned and saw them he yelped some hand going to his chest.

"Holy…when did you to get home?" Harry asked as he calmed himself down, he had not heard either of them come in and it was a bit unnerving since he prided himself on knowing what was going on around himself.

"About five minutes," Lucius answered before asking as he walked over, "Did you make all this by hand?"

"I…I like cooking," Harry said shrugging before smiling some, "Lunch will be ready in half an hour," getting Tom to come over and inspect what he had already made he felt himself blush since both men were appraising his food.

"Hmm, we brought you something," Tom murmured before smirking, "Close your eyes," as soon as those green eyes closed he turned to Lucius who went behind Harry and dropped a necklace around his neck, a small silver chain with a silver snitch shaped locket on the end, "Alright look."

Harry lifted his hand to touch the necklace before looking down and seeing the snitch locket, as his fingers brushed over it the locket opened and inside was a picture of his parents with Sirius and on the other side was an inscription, 'Never forgotten' and he hugged the men and kissed each of them briefly before ushering them from the room saying, "Out, out I need to cook," and they watched as he started making something that looked incredibly sweet and mouthwatering.

It was not until halfway through his recipe that Lucius recognized the treat as his favorite dessert, crème burlee and as he finished that one and set it aside Tom noticed he was now making crepes, which happened to be his favorite. The teen gave them each their dessert treat with a kiss to the cheek before he went to finishing their lunch, "Alright," he plated three lunches and settled them at the table.

"This looks delicious," Lucius said as they settled down for lunch.

"Good," Harry smiled as he began cutting up his steak.

"Did you clean the house?" Tom asked suddenly as he noticed the place was spotless, getting a nod and small blush he blinked, "Harry we can call a house elf in for cleaning you didn't need to clean."

"I wanted to," Harry said as he sliced his meat up some more, as if nervous which was something new for the men, they had never seen the domestic and on edge Harry and they found it sort of cute, "It takes my mind off the fact you two could have been doing something stupid and potentially dangerous situation and I'm not there."

"You cleaned because you were concerned?" Lucius asked getting a nod he took Harry's knife away since he was practically cutting the meat into baby food, "Why are you so nervous now we're home, safe and sound."

Tom tilted Harry's head up, "Harry we will always come back, we will keep you from dangerous situations if only to ease our minds, but we will tell you if the situation could turn dangerous I promise," getting a light smile he glanced at Lucius, "He was nervous because we did not tell him what we were doing meaning he was unsure about if we could be in danger or not and he's afraid we'll leave and not come back one of these days."

"Exactly," Harry said before Lucius moved as did Tom and both men were suddenly leading him from the table, "Guys what about lunch?" he asked not exactly sure what was going on as they lead him into the living room.
