Harry had never been so nervous, and his dad and Draco laughing at him under their breath, was not helping at all. Severus was a bit surprised Harry was getting ready here, they had an ensuite, but he was happy to be here. He may have missed a lot of time with his son, and so many special moments, but there were others for them. He was here for Harry's first date, and would be there when he married one day, and hopefully when he became a grandfather. He had not been there when Harry was born, but he would be for a grandchild, and he might even consider changing some diapers, well maybe.

He and Remus had gone to Paris on a date last weekend, and Harry was happy for them, with the thought, considering in a way they were both dads. When there was a knock at the door, the second reason for Harry being here, came into play. Harry had to face the Deveraux clan; it was fair that Andre would face his dad.

Andre was a bit nervous when the door opened. "Good evening Sir, is Harry ready?"

Severus smirked. "Not yet. Come in, I think the three of us can have a nice little chat while you wait."

For a moment Andre looked like he would turn around, and bolt the other way, but he came in. He was reminded Harry had faced his entire family, he could face Harry's dad and Uncle, it could not be too bad. Draco tended to think Harry was lucky they moved, the boys at Hogwarts knew Severus too well, and would have run. Andre had never had the man for class, but he knew meeting the dad could always be rough, and knew Harry's dads were very protective of him.

Remus whispered to Severus before they sat down. "You want your son to talk to you still. You scare this boy off and Harry will be pretty upset."

Severus kissed him warmly. "He should be willing to face what he put my son through last weekend. Besides, I am no where near as bad as Henry Evans."

The first time he had met Lily's dad when they began dating, the man had actually met him at the door with a gun, and he nearly pissed his pants. He was underage so he had no wand on him, but it turned out to be an antique with no bullets, but he hadn't known at the time. Lily made fun of him for months after, reminding her boyfriend that her dad was a mild mannered teacher, and wouldn't even know how to shoot a gun.

Severus eyed the boy up and down. "Where are you taking my son? I assume it will be no where private."

Andre shook his head. "No sir, of course not sir. I would never take him to a hotel or anything. We're going to dinner in the town, nothing else."

Having missed the classroom a bit, for he liked leaving kids trembling in their boots; Severus decided this was going to be fun. Oh he knew the boy, top of his class before Harry and Draco arrived to give him a run for his money, captain of the duelling team, and keeper for one of the inter mural quidditch teams. Harry had told him about the weekend, so he knew about the family, but Severus had missed out on so much as a father. Henry Evans had told him later that when he became a dad, he would understand, and he would do the same thing. He hadn't believed the man, until now.

Harry thankfully made an appearance in the doorway, as Andre was starting to get hot under the collar, Remus even joining in to grill him. Harry shot both men a look, before Remus had said the words, Harry had warned them as well. He had told his dad this was not potions class, and he was to play nice.

Harry came over to them. "Are you done grilling my date so we can leave for dinner? Or have you decided we need chaperone?"

Remus saw the look on Severus and shooed them towards the doors. "Get out of here, before you give him any ideas."

From the look, Severus thought it didn't sound like a bad idea, so the boys took his advice, and fled. Severus knew his son was seventeen and he didn't need permission, but he had been kept from his son for so long, he was making up for lost time. Considering all his son had been through, no one could blame him for it really.

Draco appeared and was heading out. "Don't worry about Harry. He knew you would grill him if he changed here. He liked the thought."

Severus chuckled a bit. "I was under the impression you were joining Gabrielle and some of the other females for a movie."

Taking his leave, Draco smiled, knowing Harry had intentionally dressed here, but not as pay back, well not completely. He and his dad were working on becoming closer, and he knew it would make his dad feel more like a dad, if he got to grill Andre. It had meant a lot to both of them.

Harry had known what he was doing, allowing his dad to have some fun, and was relieved Andre made it through it, and had not run. He had been looking forward to this since Andre asked him out last weekend, and knew they didn't need to worry about spies. Remus had promised to keep his dad from following, and Gabrielle promised she and her friends would keep Draco and Michel in the school. They had sworn they would tie them down if they had to, anything.

They came to a cool little cafe in town, which again reminded Harry that they could almost be in a muggle modern town, so unlike Hogsmeade. The color had returned to the face of Andree, and for a moment he regretted putting Andre through that.

Andre cut him off. "I had five minutes, you put up with my family for an entire weekend. I promise I would do it again for you."

Harry had a mischievous grin on. "You know the Malfoys are coming for Christmas. And I could convince the twins to come, some quidditch buddies too."

That made Andre shut up, for he knew while Harry had no blood family save his dad, he had a lot of people who cared a lot about him. They tended to be over protective of him considering all Harry had suffered, and he had heard about the twins. Oliver and his team were actually in France for a game in a few weeks, the season running mid September through end of March, save some pre-season games in the summer.

Harry smiled. "Oliver sent me tickets for the game as it is on a weekend. I promise if you come he won't grill you too bad."

Andre smiled."I'd like that, and you said he plays keeper like I do. Have you ever gone to his games?"

Harry had been meant to spend his birthday at a pre-season, but he had been in bed, from injuries. His dads and Draco had gone with him though to a game a few weeks before they had moved down here, but that was the only game, since school. As their dinner came they talked about quidditch and life back at his old school, and Harry did open up a bit more about his past. Andre knew about the whole letter situation, and some of the abuse, but not all.

They were taking a walk later after dessert, and Andre was confused when Harry suddenly stopped dead. "Harry are you okay?"

Harry was pal but he shook it off and smiled. "I'm sorry; I just thought I saw someone."

As they continued their walk, Harry reminded himself the man was not here, and he was just allowing his mind to run away with him. They enjoyed the walk, in town and later through the school grounds, before they shared a long warm kiss at the door to his rooms. Draco was back from the movie room, and waiting to hear all about the date, and Harry told him, leaving out who he thought he saw. He knew he was seeing things, and he didn't want to worry Draco or his dads.

Draco clapped him on the back. "He survived a run down from your dad and Uncle; I think you may have to keep this one."
