Blaise and the others had been happy in January, when they returned from holidays, and found Harry back in the dorms. They had all missed him, and while their more than understood the pain Harry was in and he needed the time, they were happy to have him back. Harry felt a bit odd the first few weeks, but he was reminded by his Uncle that he could come back if he needed to, but he remained in the dorms. Harry had tea with his Uncle most nights, but Harry was doing all quidditch practices, and in March he helped win their second game of the season.

Lucius did not intentionally use his nephew, not after what he had pulled after the funeral, but Harry was a reason for him to be at school more often. Harry had relied on both Lucius and Remus when he was a kid, and he could use both of them through this.

In the end of May Harry had his final quidditch game of the season. Lucius hugged both boys when it was done. "I am so proud of you both."

Harry held to him for a moment. "Thanks for being here Uncle Luc."

Though Lucius was there for his son as well, he would have come even if only Harry was on the team, he had in the past. He loved the idea of the boys married one day, not like his former wife who wanted the titles and money for her family, but for the boys. He saw him and Severus more and more in them, and he knew no matter what happened in his own love life, he would ensure the boys were happy. He was not like most parents who would have said puppy love at that age, he knew it was real.

As the boys went for their shower, Remus and Severus came down to join him, they planned to take the boys to town. Harry had brought them all together; Severus was more willing to be around Lucius, if it would help Harry and Remus.

Remus took an envelope from his pocket."These came from Moody today; it seems Sirius bought them before..........."

Lucius noticed they were tickets to the world cup."Unless nose blood seats, he knew you had to buy them ahead of time, almost a year.'

The world cup was to be held this year in the UK, for the first time in decades, and Lucius and Sirius knew their sons would die to be there. Remus saw the three, and assumed Sirius had planned to take both boys, but Lucius shook his head. He had bought tickets at the same time, they would be in the best box, he had forgotten that Sirius had bought them. He told Remus the third had been meant for him, Sirius thought that Remus should come, again trying to let Remus have more time with him.

The boys cut off any talk for the men, as the tickets were meant to be a surprise, Remus convinced to give them to Harry today. As they walked into town, Remus knew it was meant to be another attempt by Sirius to prove he was making changes for his son.

Harry looked up in surprise when over lunch in town, Remus handed him the tickets. "Uncle Moony?"

Remus shook his head." Your dad bought them for you, to give today."

Tears were in Harry's eyes, and for a moment he was worried that he had been wrong to give them to Harry, but Harry had a smile. Lucius told his son he had bought them the matching seats, and they would be there as well. Harry looked at his third ticket, the one that had been for his dad, but Remus said he could choose a friend. Harry thought about Blaise but he was not a fan, and he could not choose between the twins. Besides, the twins said their dad was getting tickets from work.

Severus was surprised when Harry asked him if he would come with them. "Are you sure? I am sure there is some other friend for you to take."

Harry and Draco were of one mind. "No,, any of out other friends might be jealous if we chose. Besides I would like you to come with us."

Both boys were playing match maker, but as much as he loved Uncle Luc, Harry was actively rooting for his Uncle Moony now. He knew Lucius and Severus were like him and Draco when they were kids, but that did not mean they would end up the same. Harry loved Remus so much and wanted him to be happy, and unlike Lucius who could land any man if he tried, Remus had few options. He would be happy if Lucius got him, but he hoped that Remus would get his man for once.

Remus looked at the boys as they went back up to school. "I would tell the two of them to lay off the match making, but I am happy to see Harry feeling normal."

Severus watched the boys. "Harry loves you so much, and you have helped him survive this. I think he simply wants to repay the favour."

Looking at him for a moment, Remus was sure he was wrong, at least where he was involved. Other than one near kiss which Harry had not seen, Severus had never shown any interest in him, and he knew he would end up with Lucius. Harry was helping Draco, to ensure Severus and Lucius hooked up, not he and Severus.

That summer Harry and Remus went to their own home, but they spent a lot of time in the manor, and even back home. Grimmauld was the Black family home, and one day Harry knew it would belong to his kids, but he was not sure he could ever call it home. Kreacher had come with them, Remus had never had an elf beyond school, but the elf served the house, and was devoted to Harry. He could not complain about help around the home, it allowed him to focus on his nephew.

Harry and Draco were so excited about the world cup, the first time Remus had seen Harry like this in too long, and he was so relieved for it. Harry's birthday was not long before, and while he did receive a few real gifts too, he also was given money for the game.

Severus was still not sure about coming to the game when they were about to leave. "Are you sure you did not want a friend to come?"

Harry shook his head."The twins will be there. I men we won't sit near them, but we can hang out with them before and after."

They were leaving the day before the game, and from what Lucius had wrangled, the Weasleys would be right next to their tent. The Malfoys had never been much for camping, but their tent was waiting for them, and would be in the usual Malfoy stile. When they arrived at the field they looked at the tents, everything from muggle looking pop tents to castles, and even Lucius could not remember what his was. It was obvious, by the two pop tents next to it, lost in the sea of the rich tents.

Fred appeared from his tent."Maybe you can cast a glamour on our tent or something. We look like the only ones camping."

Ron had come out behind him. "Just like the snakes, move us next to them, so their can feel so special. They just need to rub in their wealth."

Lucius mentioned there was plenty of room in the tent, and if the twins wanted to join the boys, they could. It was no question, a choice between a tent which smelled like cats and looked like an old woman's home, or a tent that was nicer than their house. Arthur was fine with it, all of his sons were home, so their tent was a bit full, and thought it would be quieter without Ron and the twins at it.

The Malfoy tent looked like a castle tower, it was a three story structure, and even had a front garden. There was a kitchen, sitting room on the main floor, three bedrooms on the second, and a big sleeping space and bathroom on the third one. The top floor went to the boys, who felt like they were in the dorms.

Fred looked out the window."This has to be the best view, there are no others over two stories tall. I can even see the pitch from here."

George had a shock for them. "Are you in the minster's box? I thought dad landed us nose bleed seats, but some how he landed seats in it."

Harry shook his head, and said while they had been offered free seats there because of his dad, their turned them down. They had already had seats, in the private box for the owner of the Irish team, a box that was just as good, and did not have Cornelius in it. The twins didn't need to be told more, they knew the man was after Harry to attend the unveiling of the memorial statue, and wanted Harry to okay a bio as well. Lucius and the school did their best to protect Harry from all of this.

The twins had been creating and selling their pranks, and had some money to spend on items. The adults shooed them out the door, telling them what time dinner would be, and the four of them headed out to see who else was there, and souvenirs too.

Harry was buying some omninoculars an hour later when Harry spotted who he had hoped to avoid. "That man I swear has the same radar as your brother does."

Cornelius was coming their way with one of his men."Lord Black, just the person I hoped to see. I was disappointed you turned down my offer."

There was no doubt about that, Harry could imagine how much of the game he would have seen, the man would have been talking the entire time. Harry would have rather missed the game then sit with the man, and was not about to let him ruin the day for him. The tickets had been his dad's last gift to him, and he would enjoy it.

The man clapped him on the back and tried to lead him in a direction." Your father was a hero Harry, and his story deserves to be told to the world."

Harry pulled away from the man. "My dad's story has already been told, all over the newspapers. I am sorry minister, but our family is waiting for us."

The twins and Draco helped to rescue him from the man, and they headed back to the tent, and could see the shock from the others. They had thought that the boys would be late coming back, having too much fun out there, and instead were early. They were mad when they heard what the man had pulled, and offered to eat inside for privacy, but Harry wanted to have a good time, and was not to let the man ruin it.

Lucius snarled under his breath."That man will remember I helped elect him, or he will be looking for a new job. Heknows that Harry is my nephew."

The game had been incredible, Krum had caught the snitch, but the Irish had won the game. The camp was a massive party after, and all the red heads but Ron who was brooding, had come over to have some drinks and food with them. Harry and Draco were happy to have a chance to meet the other brothers, Charlie was really cool, and they were wondering how Ron and his sister could come from such a cool family.

Remus had noticed he had not seen Severus for a time, and he went up stairs to find him, but found he was with Lucius. He knew he should not eaves drop, and he was not one for playing dirty, but he could not seem to walk away from the door.

Lucius ran his hand down Severus' face. "I love you. You know I will do anything to make it up to you. Losing Sirius made me see how precious time could be."

Severus did not move away from him as he usually did. "I know. I have come to see who I want to spend my life with."

Remus did not know why it hurt so bad, he had known the day was coming, and had told himself not to fall for Severus. Severus saw him as a friend, and a brother perhaps, nothing more. The near kiss was nothing, Severus had never tried again, hewas a fool to believe it could ever have been more for them.

Harry looked up worried when he came back down."Is there something wrong?"

Remus shook his head."I'm okay cub, I just need some fresh air."

The others had the same concerned look on their faces, but he assured them he was fine. Severus appeared down in the kitchen some time later, and was surprised when he did not find Remus among them, and knew something was off.

Harry pointed at the door. "Uncle Moony came down looking upset, and he went for some air."
