Prompt: 009 - Home
Pairing: Harry x ?
Length: 218
For years Harry had never felt like he particularly belonged anywhere and certainly not among his muggle relatives in Surrey of all places. For a while Hogwarts had been his home; the stone corridors with their layers of history had brought comfort to him like no place had before. And again, twice more, he found himself connecting with other places. The Burrow gave him his first real experience of family and he could never truly replace how that had embraced him fully and although Grimmauld Place hadn't exactly been the pleasantest place to be it had given Harry connection to his own family through Sirius.
It wasn't until several years later that Harry truly recognised it all for what it was. It wasn't the buildings themselves that sent the waves of comfort wrapping around his form nor was the memories of times he'd already spent there. It was the people inside that really made Harry feel comfortable and genuinely relaxed. The Weasley's…Sirius…his lover. Even more so with the picky man who was never quite happy with wherever they ended up and always wanted to move on. It didn't matter though. As long as Harry was wrapped up in those familiar arms he knew he was safe; he knew he belonged.
Home must surely be where the heart is.
