I have also written a few one shots that will eventually make it up as well. Let me know what you think. I love reviews!! On with the story.

Chapter 3 - Meeting the Professors

The first night back in London the 4 decided to stay at Grimmauld Place. Harry made sure he let everyone in the house know that he and Draco were together and they better not have anything to say about it. This new Harry was someone not to be recokoned with. He would not tolerate it anymore. Not since everything he had been put through since finding out he was a wizard and certainly not the things he went through growing up with those lousey relatives of his. No one had a problem with it though. Fred and George figured it was about time they acted upon their feelings. Harry was a little stunned to know that the joking twins had seen it long ago. I guess maybe he was the only one blinded by his true feelings.

The next day they set out with Blaise and Neville to look for a new place. They had decided to be roommates as well. Ron and Hermione had already purchased a flat and were there unpacking most of their stuff after the 6 of them had spent the morning helping the 2 move in.

They headed for the Three Broomsticks for lunch and to grab a copy of the Daily Prophet. Harry ordered lunch for him and Draco while he was searching the paper for some possible living space. Just when Rosemerta brought back their food Draco spotted it. A 4 Bedroom brick country style home in a new area being built just outside Hogsmede.

" Harry, I think I've found it. Listen. 4 Bedroom Brick country style home. 2 large bath , sitting room, dinning room, library , den , Large kitchen , front and back porch. Spacious garden. We could definatly afford this with what we both have already. Plus we will be making a combined 3000 galleons once we become Aurors. We could put that into a seperate account and probably never touch it. What do you think Luv?"

" Sounds great Dray, but do we really need all that space? It is just the two of us. "

Draco grinned. " For now anyways, Of course we do. I'm sure we will have guest sometimes. " and eventually a family he mummbled under his breath.

" We'll go look at it after lunch then. Anything else in there? " Harry replied.

" Not really. There is another house just down the road same as ours but only 3 bedroom. I was going to let Neville and Blaise look at that one if they wanted. " He tossed the paper to Blaise.

" Hmm What do you think Nev? "

Neville looked at Blaise. He sighed and blinked and then his lips formed into a grin. Blaise knew it was about time to spill the beans.

" Draco, Harry there is something that Blaise and I need to tell you. " he fumbled around with his napkin.

" We are lovers " Blaise let out. Knowing Neville was going to be shy about it.

The two of them just looked at each other then turned around to Neville and Blaise.

" We already knew. " they replied in unison.

" What?" they replied.

" It's obvious. Well atleast to us. You both look at each other the same way we do. We can feel the tention between the both of you when others are around. If you haven't noticed we are gay too. " Harry said to them.

" Well thats a relief. " Neville said.

" No one is going to care if thats what your worried about Nev . Harry and I were accepted and what makes you think people are going to give you two shit about it for? Times have changed and it is accepted in the Wizarding world better then the muggle. Even there no one would pay you any mind. Don't sweat it . Either of you. If someone does bother you about it. You have me and Harry, Ron, Hermione and everyone else in the Order. No one is going to say or do anything about it or they will regret it.

Thats for certain. " Draco went on munching his fries like they had only been talking about sports.

" Thanks Harry, Draco. You have no idea how much of a relief that is coming from the two of you. I know its silly but sometimes I still have those insecurities about myself. Blaise is always trying to tell me the same thing but sometimes. I guess just hearing others say it makes it seem so much easier. Thanks mate. " Neville felt more at peace with himself. Knowing they would be accepted and life could go on.

Another round of butterbeer went by and the four set out to look at the 2 houses they had found in the Daily Prophet.

The next day everyone met at Ron and Hermione's flat for breakfast. They were all heading to Gringotts to sign papers and make the transactions to purchase both houses. First they wanted to stop by and show Ron and Hermione. Neither of them were suprised when they were told about Neville and Blaise's relationship. Of course Ron being Ron told Blaise if he hurt Neville he would kill him. Hermione just shook her head and laughed as did the others. Ron was overprotective when it came to his family and friends but who could blame him.

" Guys, this house is beautiful. I can't wait for me and Ron to be able to buy one. " Hermione was turning around and around in the sitting room admiring all the dark cherry wood trimming. The beautiful hardwood floors. Harry took the others out back to see the rest of the place. Leaving Hermione and Draco in the sitting room for a little heart to heart.

" Thank you. You know Mione. The next one that comes avaliable we could loan you guys the money if you needed it. We have enough money to own the whole damn street and still not hurt let alone our money combined. You know neither of us would care. It beats living so far away in that flat. Atleast this way you could have a beautiful home for when you decided to expand your family. "

" Draco, Thank you , I know neither of you would care but Ron would. We could afford it now. It would just be a little tight until we started our jobs. We spent a little more then we wanted to vacationing all summer. We didn't plan on Georgia that was a last minute decision. We actually were heading back to London from Pennsylvania when our plane was delayed there and it was so beautiful we decided to stay. I'm glad that happend now. "

" Wow I didn't know that. Well seems like fate had other plans for the four of us then. I'm glad it brought me the love of my life. " Draco paused for a moment. Did he just admit Harry was the love of his life? Well he would certainly have to let Harry know. It's something neither have said to each other yet.

He bent closer to Hermione's ear. " Don't let Harry know I just revealed that to you. I haven't exactly told him that yet. "

Hermione nodded and smiled at him. " I understand Draco I'm glad everything is turning out the way it is. I've never seen either of you so happy in my life. I'll talk to Ron and maybe try to convience him of the idea. Of course we would pay you both back as quickly as possible. "

Draco nodded and both of them headed back towards the garden where the others were.

After the tour they headed over to Neville and Blaise's new place it was the last stop before heading to the bank. After signing all the papers and transfering all the money needed it was now official. Zabini and Potter Manor was now theirs. Draco didn't mind though as long as he was where he wanted to be and that was with Harry. Blaise and Neville had decided on Zabini Manor it was much easier to use then Longbottom Manor and neither could come up with anything else. They set out for shopping next to furnish their homes with.

September 1st came quickly after all the moving that went on. They were now starting their first day of Auror training. They all met at the Ministry of Magic 2nd floor to be led to their sessions. The first day would consist of 2 hours of Concealment and Disguise. 2 hours of defensive charms and counter curses. They wanted to pick up this class so that they could keep up the practice but usually is only taken when becoming a hit wizard or witch. Then they would have lunch and their last class would be 2 hours of Stealth and Tracking. This was going to be a long 3 years. They would only be taking Defensive Charms and Counter Curses on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Entering the first class they took their seats together towards the back. A beautiful woman entered the room. She was rather tall and had long black curly hair that was swept up into a loose ponytail. Her eyes were the brightest pale blue anyone had ever seen. She wasn't as pale as Draco but she had smooth slightly tan milky skin. All eyes were on her. Even the four gay males in the room couldn't take their eyes off of her.

Welcome class my name is Professor Hillon. I am also a Auror. Some of you may know me as Carissa Hillon. She began her lecture and the rest of the class seemed to fly by. Her voice was silky and could easily put anyone into a trance.

The next class was Stealth and Tracking taught by Professor Hillon. Nathan Hillon , Carissa's husband and Auror partner. Everyone just called him Professor Nate so the two wouldn't be confused. He was tall , short black hair and beautiful bright blue eyes. Not pale like his wife's. These eyes were rich in color.

After his class the 6 friends were starving. They headed back to Harry and Draco's for lunch.

" I think I'm going to get a part time job on Monday , Wednesday and Friday. That way we can have some extra money coming in. " Hermoine said to the group before her.

" You really don't have to Mione. We aren't broke. " Ron said to his girlfriend.

" I know, but since we only have the two classes on those days and out by lunch I could work a few hours at the bookstore or something. It would give us a little extra money until we finished this first year of school. We aren't going to get paid much until we become full fledge Aurors. I don't think a combined 1400 a month is going to get us ahead.

" If you insist. I won't fight you. but you really don't have to. "

" Ron, I know but I really would like to save some money and buy a house. " Ron knew where she was going.

" Can we talk about this later? at home maybe. " Ron was embarassed to be talking about this infront of the others.

" Sure. No problem. So what are you guys doing the rest of the day?" She was annoyed with Ron. He really never wanted to talk about it after her suggestion. He really didn't want to borrow the money from his friends. He felt low about it.

" I thought about doing some flying maybe. Legs are a little stiff from sitting in class for four hours before the weather gets to cold. " Harry said dipping another carrot in ranch dressing.

" I'm having a hot tub added to the back porch deck. I'm also raising the fence round the place so it will be more private. It would be great on the muscles and I could think of a few other things it would be useful for. " Draco smirked.

" Really now , could you?" Harry said in his amused tone."

Draco nodded grinning. " Oh how I could. "

Ron choked on his sandwhich. Hermione and the others just laughed.

The next day Hermione headed to Flourish and Blotts to see about a part time job. After about an hour of talking with the owner they agreed she would work Monday , Wednesday and Friday from 2pm to 6pm making 60 galleons a week. A galleon an hour because of her extensive knowledge of books. Almost the same amount of pay as Auror training but she would have to work 40 hours a week to achieve that. She made her way out of the book shop and apparaited home.

" Ron ...Ron where are you. "

" I'm in the bedroom. " he shouted her direction.

" Ron , I got the job. We will have an extra 240 galleons a month. That would put us at 1640 a month. The house is 13,000 galleons. That is equal to about $130,000 U.S. muggle money Ron. We have 25,000 galleons in the bank that is more then plenty to buy the house. We would need the extra money to be able to save and bring our accounts back up. We can do this. We would save not having to pay monthly rent thats going to eventually eat up our account do you understand this. It's the only way and I want to buy the house close to our friends and we have to do this now since you won't borrow any money from them. "

Ron just looked at her. She was right. He didn't want to admit that nor did he want to borrow money from his friends. They had spent way to much money vacationing but he wanted to give her all the things he couldn't afford before.

" If it's what you really want Mione. I just hate this. I grew up with hardly any money and it just feels like we are heading in that direction again. I don't want our kids to go through that. I guess I could get a job too. It couldn't hurt right? "

" Oh Ron , I love you. " Hermione tossed her self towards Ron and kissed his lips. " I can't wait. Our very first house together. "

Now Ron had only one thing on his mind. He would have to put her engagment ring on hold just a little while longer. He wasn't going to just buy her something cheap. No not for his Mione. She deserved the best. He let her go from the embrace and went to take a shower. Hermione went to send a quick note to Draco and Harry before preparing dinner for the night.

Harry and Draco were in the sitting room watching Tv when Hermione's owl came in the window and perched herself on Harry's arm. " Hello there Lyla it's good to see you. " Harry took the letter from her and Draco went to get her some owl treats.

Harry & Draco

I will be starting my new job at the bookstore on Wednesday. I'll be working there on M-W-F from 2pm to 6pm. After talking things over with Ron which I had to explain it to him with the money we have and the money we would be getting paid and not having to pay rent we are finally going to buy the house you and Draco found for us. I even had to convert it to U.S. muggle money for him to understand. It was funny actually. I can't believe we will all be living a few houses apart. Now our children can all grow up together. Would you and Draco come with us to the bank tomorrow around 1pm. that would give us about an hour to grab a bite to eat first I have to be at work by 2pm. Send a reply

Love always

Mione

Harry laughed and tossed the letter to Draco and sent a quick reply back to Hermione.

" Our children huh ? " Draco giggled. " Yanno that would be pretty nice if they all gew up together. "

Harry quirked an eyebrow at Draco. " And who would be having these said children. "

" Why of course you Luv. " Draco retored with laughter in his words.

" We'll just see about that. " Harry said and started to chase Draco around the room laughing. Finally he dove over the couch and landed firmly ontop of Draco. " I do believe it will be you my darling Dray. "

A/n - I wasn't sure exactly how to convert Wizarding money to muggle money or what the value of them really were. After some research for the sake of cents to dollars

1 galleon $ 10.00 U.S currency.

1 sickle 57 cents U.S. Currency

1knut 2 cents U.S currency

Since I am American it would be easier for me to handle it this way. Also the lexicon states an Assistant Manager at Flourish & Blotts only make 42 Gallons a month just wouldn't do this day in age. Could you imagine making only $420 U.S. a month? Err No so with that said I hope you are enjoying this story.
