Remus had spent a night wondering how his son was dealing with everything. He knew that Harry had never been with someone before, his son having always put of such things till after the war was over. Remus had told his son that there was not always time, not that he had wanted to drive his son into sex, but he knew how precious time could be. He and Tonks had been married and had Teddy because they had known there was always a chance there would not be a later. As much as her death would always be with him and being a single dad was hard, Remus would never regret having made the choice. He would never regret having married her or having their beautiful son who would always be a reminder of the love of his life, especially when the color of his hair changed with his mood. Besides he had Harry and Tonks' parents to help him wit the baby. He knew in the future he would he would likely start dating again and he hopefully would find love again. But for now being a dad to two sons very far apart in age but who still needed him in their own ways, was enough for him. But Tonks would have wanted him to move on.
He had seen the fear in the face of his son when he had left for his wedding night. He knew that Harry was not scared of Severus, well not scared that the man would attack him or something. But the fact that Harry had barely even kissed a guy before, he was petrified at the thought of having sex and would not even admit it. It often was scary, even with someone you loved. The fact that Harry was not sure how he felt about his husband would not have helped. But he was sure Severus had known his husband was a virgin and would have been gentle. Severus was a far better man than most people gave him credit for being.
He knew Harry and Severus chose different bedrooms but he had his doubts it would last long. He could see the look in the face of his old friend and had his suspicions that Severus at least was falling for Harry. He knew his godson was far too noble to not be monogamous. They would likely be thrown together.
He was surprised when the door opened and instead of Harry and Severus, Lucius came in. "I was not expecting you here."
Lucius shrugged. "I hope you don't mind the company. I assumed you would be waiting to see how their wedding night went."
Though Remus was not sure that his son and Severus would want third degree when they arrived especially about their sex life, he shrugged and motioned for the man to sit. He and Severus had been friends when they were in school but though he had helped Lucius become a spy too, they had never been more then acquaintances. They had been in different houses in school and of course Lucius could not in his spy days have been associated with a werewolf. He assumed he might be seeing more of Lucius around with Severus there. Draco and Harry were quite close friends, but Draco was up at Hogwarts now.
He summoned Dobby to bring them some tea, as Kreacher answered to only one person and that was Harry. Dobby was utterly devoted to Harry and when Remus moved here and they saw Kreacher would not serve him, had taken over Dobby's pay and brought him here. He took care of Remus and helped with Teddy. Dobby did not seem to have got over his issues with Lucius but he still brought the tea.
Lucius looked at the tea warily. "Are we certain that this has not been poisoned? Between the Black elf and my former elf, I'm worried."
Remus shook his head. "Kreacher does nothing for no one except his master. And Dobby besides is far too good. Better get used to them if you plan to visit."
Drinking some of the tea Lucius assumed he was right and was reminded Dobby had once been his son's nanny elf. In reality Lucius had freed the elf on purpose to watch over Harry and most of the bad treatment the elf had received had been from his wife. He had never imagined he would be sitting here and having tea with Remus but he knew with Severus living there he was likely to be spending more time there and he could not deny the man was at least decent company for him. He wondered what Severus would say but he reminded himself his brother and Remus had once been really good friends and were getting back there. And for all intensive purposes as funny as it seemed to sound, Remus was now his brother's father in law, really in all but blood of course.
They were talking and actually having a good laugh when the two Remus had been expecting, came through the door. They didn't seem them come in at first and missed the look of utter shock when their son and brother saw them. Harry looked at his husband wondering if he was seeing things. They may have just been having tea together but he had never imagined that sight before. From the look on his husband's face, Severus was thinking just about the same thing as he had been.
Severus cleared his throat when the two were still talking. "Should we come back later and give you two ladies more time to chit chat?"
Remus finally saw his son was back and stood up to hug his son. "I'm happy to see you cub. You know your little brother has been missing you."
Sharing a look with Severus and over towards Lucius Harry left with his dad to go and check on Teddy who was waking up from his nap or should have been. Severus was not surprised his brother had come, Lucius sure to want to know how the night had gone before, but was surprised to see him having tea with Remus. He was at least pleased by that though for he could live with his friends being friendly as well.
Lucius smiled. "It seems the two of you're both live and you seem to have a huge smile on your face. I take it that everything went well last night."
Severus smirked. "I don't plan on sharing detail thank you; I respect my husband too much. But what about you, something you'd like to tell m?"
Matching his brother's smirk Lucius reminded him that it was actual civil behaviour to have tea with someone. He knew his brother was just trying to change topics with him but Severus was not giving any more detail and he actually was still thinking about the two together. He had little doubt Harry was asking his dad the same. Lucius was quite adamant about wanting to know if he could throw them a honeymoon sometime soon.
Severus shrugged. "Maybe you can plan a honeymoon for the two of us when you and Remus go on a date." Lucius practically choked on his tea on that.
