Remus knew his son had questions when they had headed up the stairs, as many as Remus had for his son about his wedding night. It might not be something most fathers and sons would discus, their son's sex life, but Harry had missed out so long on having that family and person to talk to. He was not even sure Harry had ever had the birds and bees talk with anyone, he had definitely not had it with Remus. Sirius was too much of a big kid and Arthur would have likely thought he was stepping out of bounds on it, and he doubted it was a subject Vernon would have ever thought to bring up with his nephew. And of course if the man had ever had such a talk with his nephew he would not have really understood. Remus had never been with a man either but he understood the feelings. Like many wizards, he was bi, and had more then one boyfriend in the past mainly when he had been a student. He had loved his wife and had wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, not even married a year before she had been taken from him, and from their son, but he had always gone both ways,
He knew Harry had been watching him with Lucius and had seen their hands together. He had seen the look on the faces of them both and knew Severus was wondering if Lucius and he would perhaps date one day. But for his son he knew a very different question was running through his head. Tonks had only died three months ago, and he was sure his dad was still mourning his late wife. His dad barely left the house and spent most of his time with Harry and Teddy. Teddy went to be with his grandparents often enough but Remus never really took the time away for himself. And Harry was right; Remus was definitely still in mourning.
Even if he had been ready though he was worried how Harry would react or would have reacted. Harry had loved Tonks so much, not as a mother figure even though married to his dad, but as a friend and as family. She was not only married to his dad but one of his few links left to Sirius.
Harry turned to his dad when he noticed his brother was still sleeping. "Is there something going on between the two of you?"
Remus shook his head. "We were simply talking Harry and having tea. You know I'm definitely not ready for a relationship with anyone yet."
He knew his son wanted him happy and he would want him to move on with his lie and have love again. There was no doubt in Remus' mind that Harry would encourage him one day to move on with someone else. And if he thought even after only three months that Remus was ready to move on, he likely would. But Harry knew too well that his dad was nursing a broken heart and he needed time to work on that first.
Remus looked down at his younger son. "Lucius is a nice man though and I have enjoyed talking to him. I would not be opposed to spending more time with him."
Harry was not too surprised to hear that. "You two did look like you were having a good laugh and you know me and Tonks' parents have said you need a life."
Andromeda and Ted both reminded their son in law every time he brought Teddy to them that he needed to consider starting to get out. Like Harry they were not encouraging him to date as it had only been over three months, but they knew Remus becoming a hermit was not going to do him any good, or their grandson either. They considered Harry to be a grandson as well and thought that both boys needed their dad, the eighteen year old as much as the six month old. Tonks would have wanted her husband to have moved on with his life and been the dad to his two boys that he was meant to be.
Remus had never really thought bout being friends with Lucius but he had a nice talk with him. And he couldn't deny he would not mind doing it again. He definitely was not sure even when he was ready if it would ever become romantic, but having a new friend could not hurt. And because of Harry's husband as well as his friendship with Draco would mean he would likely see more of Lucius around anyways.
Remus decided to turn the tables back on his son. "How did last night go cub? I know you were really scared."
Harry blushed a bit but he smiled. "Sev was really sweet and gentle. I mean he knew it was my....and he tried to make it good for me."
His son definitely was as red as a bet in the face and Remus had to contain some chuckles. He had no doubt that Severus had known his son was a virgin. Even if the fact that harry had never had a relationship in school had not been so obvious as it had been. No one had missed the nervous blushing when Harry had been taken away from the wedding by his husband. And they had known it was not simply because of the man who he was going off with.
He was grateful his son didn't give him any detail about the se for that was more then even he wanted to hear from his son but Harry spoke of the emotions and talk. Remus had once been good friends with Severus in school and had known the man would be good to his son.
Harry looked up. "Severus will be living in the bedroom across the hall. But I am glad that it went well. And maybe one day.....well if he wants more...."
Remus looked at his son and pulled him into a hug. "You're bonded till one dies, you have plenty of time to figure those things out. I'm sure you will."
He could see his son was battling with emotions and an attraction to the man he was married to. From what he knew of the elf magic used, there had to be at the very least a physical attraction between the men for it to have worked. He didn't have to ask Severus; he could see his old friend and now son in law, was very much attracted to his husband and cared for him before even Harry saved him. He knew Severus had been a bit hurt at how Harry had reacted t the wedding news, and would have loved to take Harry on a proper honeymoon. I Harry was willing for it to be a proper marriage down the line, it would be. The only one standing in the way from it being that way already was Harry and his concerns and mixed feelings on the marriage.
Harry hoped his dad was right. "Well one good thing will be when you're ready to date; Lucius should be around for you, with my husband around."
