Severus' karate lessons happened on Saturdays and Sundays. In the beginning, Severus brought Draco, Ron and Ginny in on the lessons while the older Weasley kids watched but by the end of the second lesson, they were all participating in the lesson. Harry was surprised when Percy joined in on the lessons.
Severus said it would be easier if Harry had opponents his own size to work with. Draco and Harry were both disappointed to learn that they couldn't wear their uniforms to these lessons but they made a point to always show up wearing green and silver. By the third lesson, the Weasleys began showing up in red and gold. The Weasleys had begun jokingly calling Draco and Harry hatchlings while Draco and Harry called the Weasleys lion cubs. Bill Weasley found it amusing to see so much house spirit in children who yet to sorted into their chosen houses.

Potions with the first and second-years were the best parts of Harry's week because this was a passion he shared with Severus. After classes were over, Severus would brew potions with Harry and go over some of his best potions. Harry would tell some of the potions he couldn't wait to try. Jace had ignored Harry ever since that day in the bathroom. He went out of his way to avoid the young boy's glances during class and Harry was fine with that.
Harry had begun sitting in on some of Remus' classes and found that they were quite interesting. It was fun to watch the other students practice defence spells and it made Harry excited for the day he could practice such spells. Harry found himself wondering why he had to wait until he was ten to get a wand. But that was the law and Harry would have to accept it. But Harry listened and practised the motions with his fingers.
On the day of Remus and Severus' wedding, Harry stood as the ring bearer and was very proud to have such a big responsibility.
During the reception, most of the older women and a few of the younger women were obsessed with how adorable Draco and Harry were. Whenever Harry or Draco would speak, they'd gush even more. It seemed whenever the two boys went off to hide, they were quickly found by one of the gushing women.
"They're everywhere!" Harry muttered as he rubbed lipstick from off his cheek. Harry frowned as he stared over at the woman who'd left the lipstick on his face. The way she had her lipstick on and around her lips, Harry couldn't help but compare her to a clown.
"Why must they pinch us?" Draco asked, trying hard not to yawn. Both boys had been up really late the night before but they had to prepare for the wedding.
When the boys finally found Harry's fathers, the reception was almost over and Lucius was waiting to take the boys home.
"You be a good boy for Mr and Mrs Malfoy," Remus said bending down to meet Harry's eyes. Harry was being sent to stay with the Malfoys for the weekend while Remus and Severus went on their honeymoon. Harry was excited to go back to Draco's house and play Quidditch. Draco's brooms went up to six feet and Harry found that to be such a thrill. Draco also knew how to sneak ice cream in the middle of the night.
"Yes dad," Harry said, hugging Remus and turning to hug Severus who was smiling proudly at his new husband. When Harry left with the Malfoys, Severus and Remus were on their way to see the rest of the guests off.
When they arrived at the Malfoy Manor, Harry and Draco were sent off to bed as soon as they were cleaned up. Neither Draco or Harry had ever been up this late before and they felt quite excited. When Draco and Harry woke up the next morning, Dobby helped them get dressed and ready to start their day.
"Do you want to spend a weekend at Hogwarts, Draco?" Harry asked after breakfast. Harry had had sleepovers at Draco's house and Draco had slept over at Harry's house but Draco had never slept at Hogwarts. "Maybe we can sleep in the common room."
Draco's eyes went wide with excitement at the idea of sleeping with the Slytherins. His face turned pink and he nodded happily.
"That sounds awesome!" Draco squealed as he began bouncing in his seat.
"The Quidditch game between Ravenclaw and Slytherin is next weekend. You could stay over, watch the game and celebrate with the Slytherins when they win," Harry said, beaming as Draco's face turned pinker and his smile got wider. This was going to be an awesome weekend.
"Yeah! We can get Slytherin face paint!" Draco said remembering the face paint from the first time he met Harry.
"Come on, let's tell your parents!" Harry said as he grabbed Draco's hand. When the pair ran excitedly into the kitchen where Lucius and Narcissa, Harry told them about how he had invited Draco over next weekend and everything they had planned. Draco bounced happily as Harry asked their permission for him to visit. When the older Malfoys shared a nervous glance, Harry found himself nervous.
"Harry, did you ask your parents?" Narcissa asked looking at her husband.
"No, but they said Draco was welcome to visit anytime and next weekend is any time," Harry clarified.
Lucius and Narcissa shared an amused expression before turning back to Harry and smiling.
"I'm going to ask Remus and Severus when they return but if they say yes, I don't have a problem with it," Lucius said, patting the boys on the head. Remus and Severus were going to have their hands full with this little snake.
