Harry had been unsure what he would do with his future, he had been told he could try out for the United, but he was uncertain. He loved the idea of teaching, but there were no openings, or at least he did not believe, except herbology but he could never have competed with Neville, even if he wanted to. Remus knew his son was considering an offer to train as an auror to teach at the academy, and he encouraged both Lucius and Filius to speak to him Lucius allowed Filius to go first, and he thought he might teach for a few years, for he knew Harry would take Filius up on his offer, and he found he liked to teach

He was not disappointed, for Harry was shocked by the offer, but honoured. Filius explained he was way too old to continue charms too long, and would take history His suggestion he would sub when Harry was on paternity leave, made Harry blush badly, but also smile. Harry was thrilled with the offer, and with his dad and Dora with the baby, and Severus here at school, he could not deny it was a huge part of that, but he loved the idea of teaching.

The morning of graduation he and Draco were getting ready together, and had both received the traditional cufflinks from their dads. Harry and Draco had tied for top boy, Hermione top student of course, and had won the house and quidditch cups for Slytherin.

Draco looked at Harry as they were about to head up. "So are you ever going to tell me what you're doing in the fall? We both know you have something planned."

Harry smirked. "I decided to be a man of leisure, you know hold my seats and live off my fortune"

There was laughter in the room, for even if the adults had not known about the offers, he would have been bored out of his mind not working at all. Lucius had confirmed he had not had a chance to ask Harry to apprentice with him, and since he found he could easily teach and do business, chose to remain.

Harry finally gave in "I will be spending the summer playing starting seeker for the National team. And in the fall, I will be apprenticing with Filius for two years."

Draco knew about the team. "That is so cool. I remember you and your club, but I thought DADA."

As Harry reminded him his dad taught DADA and was not about to give it up even for his son, he accepted hugs from everyone, none of the adults told him they knew. Harry would be living with Draco in the Malfoy town house for the summer, more convenient for quidditch. He was not sure he would play more then two seasons with the national team for he was considering kids, well if he and Severus married, but he would have been a fool to turn down the chance.

Harry and Draco headed into the Great Hall with their classmates, and Harry smiled, his family was there, not simply his dad When he started school he never thought to have one but he had a dad, stepmother, baby brother and grandparents. The Weasleys were there even if Ron was expelled, for Harry. Even the two babies, little three month old Owen William, and nearly one month old Dylan Oliver. Percy had even come, done first term as a healer in training, proudly holding Lynette

The names were called by the hat and Harry was again hit by the changes when. "Lupin, Harry James Head boy, and tied for head male student in grades."

Harry received his diploma from Minerva but was soon claimed for hugs by his dad and Severus who were up there with the other teachers. Draco because of Harry's name change came after him now in the list, and Harry and Draco were both so happy to be done school.

Hermione came his way when he was with his brothers later. "I wanted to say congratulations on your marks. And I heard you are apprenticing with Filius."

Harry who held his godson in his arms managed a smile. "I am, and I know you're off for law school. Never doubted you'd be top student."

The two of them had never been friends, Harry had of course found out two years ago, she had been paid to befriend him. But he still had five years of memories, even though he knew they were false on her end, and they had managed to be civil to each other since the Ginny incident. He was surprised later though to learn that she was still involved with Ron, though they had broken up for a time.

Lucius cut off his thoughts "We should go, the party will be starting soon."

The summer was amazing, Harry caught the snitch to win England the world cup in Spain the day after he turned eighteen, with his family and brothers there. Draco who came with his dad too, asked Harry if he regretted choosing to apprentice over the United, but Harry was happy with his choices. Besides Madam Hooch had asked if he wanted to coach two teams, as she had never had time to coach four, and he would coach Slytherin and Ravenclaw in the fall Harry and Neville were both returning to school as apprentices and Luna was still there.

Harry felt odd in the fall, not simply for being at the head table but his own rooms, but they were nearly identical to his dad's but two bedrooms, the second and office. They were right next to his dad's and had a door into them, but allowed him his own space. He soon settled well into apprenticing and coaching, happy to be at school when his brother had big firsts like his birthday but to the shock of all his first word was not Mommy or Daddy but Harry.

It was early March, near the end of Harry's first year apprenticing, when Severus whisked Harry off for a weekend. Harry smiled when they went back to the house in the highlands where they first really spoke of the future

Harry was surprised when Severus once again surprised him with a picnic, "You know I love picnics but it is oddly a bit colder then October was."

Severus kissed him. "That is why we have a heating spell to use if needed. We can head to the pub if you would prefer."

Touched Severus went to the effort, and reminded of their first time there, Harry happily went. They ended up at the same spot they ate the time before, and even the same food. Since it was early spring, it was not that cool, and even in Scotland, plants were starting to bloom beautifully where ever they looked. Harry had a feeling something was up and Severus did not disappoint him.

He dropped to one knee as they were packed. "I am madly in love with you I never thought I would find such love, but I have. I want a future with you. Marry me."

Harry was in tears but he nodded "Yes."

Putting the beautiful platinum and diamond band on Harry, Severus stood and pulled him into a kiss. They decided they would wed in August after Harry was done quidditch, but they would wait till the fall to try for a baby, for Harry wanted to be done apprenticing before the baby was born. Severus suggested they head to the pub for a drink to celebrate and Harry was touched to find their loved ones there, all happy to see the ring, and toast them.

Remus kissed his son on the cheek. "I will be so proud to walk you down the aisle. I could not have wanted a better man for you."
