A/N: This chapter is dedicated in part to njferrell for their brilliant suggestion of vomit. You'll see! Just a side note, I won't be able to update for a week. Apologies in advance!

Loaded down with an array of sweets, Harry and Scorpius stumbled into the flat Harry and Ginny shared in Wizard London. Harry was glad Ginny was out with her new boyfriend so he could spend quality time with his son. They dumped their sugary loot all over the small table in the kitchen and began to sort through the sweets as they laughed and talked. Harry was the happiest he had been in years, but his thoughts still strayed to Draco. What was he doing right now? What was Guy planning for that night?
"So, Scorpius, do you like Guy?" Harry asked casually.
Scorpius swallowed a bite of Pumpkin Pasty before answering. "He's alright. I usually don't like Father's boyfriends, but he's ok I guess. He doesn't like me much though. He's only nice to me when Father is around, but otherwise he pretends I don't exist." Harry frowned deeply at this news. Merlin knew Harry couldn't stand the man, but now he near hated the bloody wanker of a man.
"Has he ever been mean to you?"
"No, but I can just tell by how he acts. Whenever he's around he wants me to stay in my room or go to Grandmother's. I don't know why Father likes him. Guy always wants to be alone with Father and is always trying to take his shirt off and kiss him and stuff. It's really gross." Scorpius wrinkled his nose before biting the legs off his fifth chocolate frog. Harry couldn't believe that creep would try to get off with Draco in front of their son!
"Dad, are you and Father ever going to get back together?" Harry was startled by the simplicity and hopefulness behind the question.
"I hope so," he replied quietly. He raised his eyes and was met with the brilliant shining smile of his son. Harry couldn't help but smile back.
"Hey, I have an idea!" Scorpius spoke around another mouthful of fizzing whizbees, "Let's go and try to tell Father that you and him should get back together!" Scorpius bounced in his seat from excitement and the large amounts of sugar he had consumed. Harry surveyed the table and found Scorpius had eaten about half of what they bought.
"It's not that easy." Scorpius didn't let that stop him though, he wanted to take his dad home.
"Well, I forgot something important I wanted to show you, so can we please please go home? I don't think Father will mind. I'll just sneak in and they won't know I was there." As much as Harry didn't want to interrupt Draco's night, he couldn't refuse Scorpius and agreed.
"Where are they?"
"The cottage." Harry faltered. Surely it couldn't be the very same cottage he and Draco had shared when they were first married.
"The cottage?" He repeated.
"Yeah, you know where we used to live. Come on!"
"Wait, Scorpius, does Guy stay there with you guys?"
"No, just me and Father. He keeps trying to convince Father to let him move in, but Father won't let him. He can't even spend the night." Harry relaxed a little at that news. "Can we go now?"
"Sure, let's go." Scorpius clung to Harry's arm as he appareted just outside the cottage he hadn't seen in several years.
"I promise I'll be quick," Scorpius whisper shouted to Harry. Harry nodded but made sure to stay close to the front door. From the front windows they couldn't see Draco or Guy in the living room, so the coast was clear.
'Perhaps I'll just step inside the door and wait for Scorpius,' Harry thought as he stepped into the once familiar room.
Scorpius bounded into the house a little less than quiet but somehow it didn't seem like Draco or Guy for that matter, heard him. Harry couldn't help but notice Scorpius looked more pale than normal as the boy halted in his tracks, and maybe Harry was just imagining it, but the boy looked slightly green in the face.
It was then that Draco and Guy rounded the corner and came face to face with Harry and Scorpius.
"Scorpius, what are you doing here?" Draco looked at his son, taking in his sickly appearance. "Harry?"
"Um, he said he forgot something important. I couldn't say no, I'm sorry."
Draco nodded once and turned back to Scorpius who had his mouth clamped shut. The boy looked like he would be sick at any minute. Draco again flicked his gaze to Harry.
"Why is he sick?" Harry scratched the back of his neck nervously.
"We kinda stopped by Honeydukes on our way back to my flat. I think he may have had too many sweets. Apparating and running didn't help."
"Draco," Guy growled, "This is not our problem right now. He was supposed to be with his dad." Guy put particular strain on 'dad.'
Both Harry and Draco shot the Frenchman a dirty look, but Scorpius' stomach decided retribution was in order. Before any of them could react, Scorpius vomited all over Guy's shoes, spattering the bottom of his designer slacks with half digested sweets. Immediately Draco stepped forward and hugged Scorpius to his chest, guiding him toward the hall leading to his bedroom. Harry vanished the mess on the floor but decided to leave Guy's pants and shoes soiled.
Guy growled in anger. Through clenched teeth he addressed Harry. "This is all your fault! You planned this all along. Make that brat sick and ruin my night with Draco. Stay away from him Potter, if you know what's good for you."
Harry glared a hole through the other man's eyes as he spoke, "Have a nice night Guy. I'm sure you know the way out." He smiled sarcastically as the man stomped out of the house slamming the door behind him. Harry decided to check on Scorpius seeing as it was his fault the boy had too many sweets to begin with.
"How is he?"
"He'll be fine. I take it that was Guy who slammed the door?"
"Yeah. Sorry about ruining your evening."
Draco looked into Harry's eyes, feeling that familiar flutter in his chest. "It's fine," he breathed.
Forcing himself to wrench his gaze away from Harry's burning one, Draco led them back out into the living room. Awkwardly they stood together, both wanting to say or do something but not knowing what. Finally Harry decided it was well time for him to leave. He didn't trust himself to stay in cottage any longer.
"I think I'll head home now. Is it ok if I stop by in the morning? Just to check on Scorpius and maybe do something. If that's ok with you," he added hastily.
"That will be fine."
"Right then. So, I'll see you in the morning then. Have a good rest of your night Draco." Harry smiled slightly as he turned to exit.
"You too, Harry. See you in the morning." Draco softly shut the door behind Harry and placed the locking charms on it. As soon as Harry apparated away he placed the wards back up and made his way to his room.
As Draco lay in bed that night, unable to sleep, he turned over all the day's events in his head. Harry was back in his life and now Draco was beginning to question how good Guy really was. There was no mistaking the love shining in Harry's eyes, and he could tell Harry had grown up a lot over the past five years. Yet, he had Guy and knew any day now Guy would propose to him. Draco was not at all sure what he wanted now. He sighed as he turned roughly to his side and tried to sleep a little before the sun rose.
I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today
I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today
I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be ok
