Graduation day had finally arrived and Harry had never at times believed it would. As he stood with his friends waiting for the sorting hat to call their name so they could go on stage for their diplomas, he knew how much life had changed. He had been the boy who lived; well he still was, but an orphan who was facing a war, with two best friends by his side. One still stood by his side but his dads were in the audience with his little sister with them. The Weasleys were there as well though they had come to be there for Harry and Hermione as their son would obviously not graduate. And of course he had his husband there with him as well.
Harry shared a smile with Blaise who he would be starting work as partners with in the fall. They were both excited about training with Blaise's dad. Blaise's dad had the same policy as Lucius; they encouraged their sons to pursue their own dreams even if they would run the family business one day. Draco was going to law school but Blaise had a genuine interest to work with his dad. The two of them and Hermione who would be in law school with Draco, and Pansy, who had a job with the ministry, would be living in the Malfoy townhouse that fall.
As Harry waited to be called one of the biggest changes was of course not just his house. "Malfoy, Harry James. Slytherin quidditch captain second top NEWT scores."
As he walked onto the stage for his degree he smiled, having beaten his stepson out for top male student by a half percent, though Hermione had of course been top. Harry shared a long warm kiss with his husband when he had finished receiving his degree, Lucius amazingly proud of his incredible husband and of his son. Harry had turned down a chance to play for the United because of the Zaibini job but he was reserve seeker for the national team that summer.
After the ceremony his husband drew him back in close. "I can't wait until the season is over."
Harry laughed and kissed him. "I am not sure if I will let you come to my games with that attitude. I would like the season to last as long as possible."
Harry and his husband had decided as soon as the season was over they would start trying for their first child. Harry could work right up until his seventh moth or so and Carlos was happy to give him paternity leave or help him if he was bored after the baby was born, do some work from home. Harry knew his husband had wanted to start a family as soon as they had wed but Lucius had agreed to hold off until he was seventeen. But Lucius had only made love to him for the first time at Christmas ad he had promised Harry it was his choice when they started for a baby of their own. They were after the world cup if the team made it that far, going to spend a few weeks traveling and trying for a baby as well before Harry started his new job.
Harry soon left his husband's arms to accept hugs from his dads and the Weasleys. He wished his own parents had been alive to see him graduate but he knew how blessed he was that he had his dads there with him. But more then that, that he had Severus who was still like a third dad even when he made peace with his dads.
Sirius kissed his son on the head. "Your dad would have bee so proud of you, he may have been head boy but he definitely didn't have your grades."
Remus smiled and agreed with his husband. "He may have had a problem with you leading the snakes to the championships for the past two years in a row though."
Laughter came and some of Harry's friends from his old dream team who had come for grad, well Angie and Alicia were with the twins and Oliver and he would be on the national team together, agreed but they were still proud of him. They were reminded of the fact that he had not joined the snakes by choice after all.
Before he went of with his friends though Lucius handed him a package. "This came from your cousin for you this morning."
Harry saw some shock for only his dads, Severus and the Malfoys knew he had kept in contact with Dudley since he had gone to see him. "I hope he had got his."
It seems Marge was a good influence on her nephew and Dudley had done well his last few years at Smeltings and was actually going to a college in London in the fall where he hoped to study how to design the computer games he loved so much. Harry had eventually contacted the lawyer to get the money he was left but he had given half to Dudley and used the other half to make a donation to a domestic violence shelter in Surrey, wanting the money to be put to good use.
Harry found a picture that had been taken when he had last seen his cousin as well as a ticket for a football game. "Just like Dud. I should be able to make it."

Harry had seen air time in the final two games of the season and the national team had won the world cup in Germany that summer with his catch. Harry and his husband had taken off for a tour of Asia when he was doe ending with a few days spent at the resort they had gone that first Christmas when they were wed. They had gone to Italy over night on their anniversary, trying to make good memories of both places. They had not used contraception the entire time and hoped that they would be blessed with a child in the near future.
The months passed though as Harry settled into his job with Blaise and his dad, a job he had found lived up to his hopes when he had first started thinking about such work. He got to travel a bit for work and he and Blaise were working well as partners. Draco and Pansy became engaged in November with plans to be married in his sprig and his dads had announced they were expecting again, their third child due in the end of June.
Christmas after dinner Harry drew his husband back under the mistle toe and Lucius once again asked. "Not that I mind but I recall a promise of a gift.
Harry laughed and put his husband's hand against his belly. "Well my amazing husband you'll have to be patient for over eight months for this gift."
Harry's words once again took time to sink in but when they did they were even more amazing then his words last time. Lucius dragged his husband fully into his arms as Harry told him that he was a month pregnant and their baby was due in the end of August. He had a dizzy spell at work and Blaise had taken him to the healer three days before and he had decided it was the perfect gift for his husband. This time they were not alone and they were pulled apart by clapping.
Draco beamed as he hugged him. "I am so happy the two of you guys are finally going to make me a big brother."
