Molly was over the moon to learn Charlie and Rodger were expecting their first child. They weren't the only ones with news. Ginny and her longtime boyfriend had announced they were engaged. Ginny had never faced the same rundown as her brothers about marrying. She had been dating for over a year but her mother knew she was focused on her career. Her and her fiancé didn't plan on kids for a few years, but would marry soon. With Hermione due in December, Ginny's wedding around the same time, and Charlie due in March, Molly would be busy. Harry and George hoped it would help. George worried how his mother would react to Draco but she had always been accepting. And now she was plotting to get them engaged by Christmas. And Harry found his own reprieve from date talk had ended and she thought he needed to get back out again.

Harry had agreed to allow his brothers to take him out to a club a week after school started. Well George and Charlie with their partners that is. Bill, Percy and Ron all loved him, but the kind of club they were headed to, didn't appeal to them to say the least.

The end of the first week of school Draco was busy when he heard the door open. "I wasn't expecting you for another twenty minutes."

"I assume you mean someone else." A cool voice responded.

Draco looked up. "You can turn and leave."

Severus motioned. "I brought the potions you needed."

Draco grunted. "You can put them down and go."

"We will have to work together."

"You can send the potions with the elves."

"And if I decide I'd rather the exercise?"

"The hospital stores then. Like Poppy did with Horace."

Severus reminded him. "You used to be quite the potions brewer."

Draco grunted. "You remember that do you?"

"I'd have thought you'd do your potions training with med school."

Draco grunted. "I haven't been back in the lab since the war."

"That seems a waste. You had skill."

Draco put the bottles away. "I decided I helped more people as a healer then hiding away in a lab."

Severus watched his godson and he was not surprised. Draco had spoken of being a healer even before the war had ended. Unlike Severus, who had medic skills, he had the bed side manner to be a healer. Draco had once said he would train in both though. Poppy had never been able to make potions and relied on Severus and then the hospital. Draco had the skill and he certainly could have made a second class by now.

Draco closed the cabinet and didn't want to think about it. He didn't regret his choice not to pursue potions as well as his healer training. His heart lay in healing and not potions. And he was still not sure he wanted to ever see the inside of a lab again.

The person he expected entered. "Ready to go?"

Draco turned. "Have to find Harry."

"Harry? Severus cut in.

George ignored him. "He is down with Hagrid."

Draco grabbed his cloak. "Shouldn't keep him waiting or he will run."

George laughed. "I had thought of that."

"Why would Potter run?"

Draco looked at his Uncle. "I don't see where it is your business."

George agreed. "He has made that clear."

"He will come to his senses."

Draco smirked. "He is well in control of them, why he won't speak to you."

"And has finally agreed to let us take him out." George added.

Severus smoldered. "Take him out?"

Draco shrugged. "Didn't expect him to stay single forever did you?"

George reminded him. "I thought you wanted him to move on."

Severus grumbled as steamed as the two of them left the infirmary together. He definitely didn't like having that thrown back at him. Draco and George headed to meet Harry. For a moment they were worried they were wrong to tell that much to the man. Draco knew his former Uncle was not going to back down any time soon. But they were not going to allow him to ruin anything. Harry was moving on.

Harry was with Hagrid and Neville when they arrived. "There you are."

Harry groaned. "I thought you forgot."

Draco reminded him. "No backing out."

George agreed. "Charlie and Rodger are waiting."

Harry shook his head. "How did I agree?"

Draco put an arm around him. "You need to move on."

George added. "This or mum will start on blind dates."

Neville said. "If you need company…."

Harry laughed. "Didn't think it was your kind of club? Your wife and all."

He agreed. "Luna actually said she would come."

George smirked. "Your eight month pregnant female friend is willing to go to a gay bar to get you to go out."

Harry finally gave in. "Okay, fine, I am coming."

Draco pulled him along. "Like we were taking no for an answer."

Harry said. "No strip club right?"

George assured him. "There isn't one in town."

Draco added. "That is for your second outing."

It wasn't like he was fresh from the closet they reminded him. He had definitely seen a man naked before. But Harry was a one man person. The club was definitely adult and gay but they didn't mean to run him off so soon. For that they would have to head to London anyways. And tonight they were sticking to town. Harry had tried to play the teacher card since it was a Friday evening. He was reminded his house didn't have quidditch yet. Besides, he hadn't had a last class, and had been done teaching for the past few hours already. He wasn't backing out.

Neville went to head back in. "Luna will only be slightly happy she wasn't needed."

Harry really was not sure about this at all. He had never been with anyone but Severus. He had never experimented even. Severus had been his first male kiss. He had been his first male everything. Ginny and Cho were his only contact before that, and mere kisses. He had never been to a gay bar. He had never been able to even go on a real date. Odd to say since he was engaged, but it had been true. He had never thought it odd at the time. Severus had smirked, but said when the war was over, they'd go to the Three Broomsticks. Now Harry realized how different it was.

Charlie and Rodger were waiting for them when they came into town. The two of them were happy Harry seemed to have come of his own free will. They had been worried that he would need to be physically dragged along. They had two companions with them.

Harry was confused. "Red heads multiplying?"

George agreed. "Thought you two were out."

Bill shrugged. "Our wives insisted."

Percy agreed. "Thought you could use support."

Harry groaned. "And I used to like them."

George laughed. "No Ron?"

Percy smirked. "Do you think even Hermione could convince him?"

Draco pointed out. "You weren't keen on a gay bar either."

Bill shrugged. "Not a strip bar."

Harry grumbled. "Better not be."

Percy shrugged. "If we can face it, you can."

George motioned. "No one in here will bite."

Draco added in a whisper. "Unless he likes that."

Charlie groaned. "Don't need to picture such details."

Ron loved his brothers and had been good about them being gay. He was totally accepting of Rodger and had been a groomsman in the wedding. He would have been fine about George except his choice. But they would never convince him to go into a gay bar, even one that wasn't a strip club. Harry didn't mind at all. He knew Ron would always support him and didn't need to be here. Ron had taken a bit to accept Severus but he had. As he reminded Harry, finding out his best friend was shagging their potions teacher, would be an adjustment for anyone.

Harry allowed himself to go into the bar and tried to remind himself this was nothing. He was going to the bar with his brothers and Draco. He kept saying he wanted to move on. Other than students, there was only one single gay man at school, and it was his former fiancé.

Harry sunk down onto a stool. "Not too bad."

Draco laughed. "What were you expecting?"

Charlie wondered. "Listened to Ron too much."

George clapped him on the back. "Now to find you a man."

Harry groaned. "I thought this was to get me out of match making?"

Bill agreed. "But you didn't just come to drink."

Charlie agreed. "At least need to dance."

"And we can't leave it up to you." Draco finished.

Harry groaned. "How did I ever let you guys do this?"

Charlie shrugged. "Smartened up."

Rodger assured him. "You don't have to stay all night."

Draco chimed in. "But you need at least one dance."

Percy said quietly. "Play along, will go quicker."

Harry took a drink. "How do you know anyone will be interested?"

Rodger assured him. "Men have seen you."

Harry had been self-conscious in the past about dating because of who he was. Severus was one of the only ones who had not seen that side. Those concerns were popping up again for him. His brothers assured him the men who were looking, were not looking at Harry's scar. Harry was good looking and that had not gone unnoticed when he entered. Harry blushed but he agreed to head out to the dance floor at least. A few of his companions came with him so he didn't feel too lonely out there. But they kept enough distance that he got some attention.

Harry did allow himself to dance with a few of them and he could admit perhaps it was fun. He still wasn't sure about the whole situation though. He lasted about two hours and then he slid out of the bar when his brothers were not looking. He told himself he needed air.

He was headed for school when he heard a voice. "Out alone?"

Harry turned to see Lucius. "Worried you are stocking me."

Lucius laughed. "I had to drop some papers off at school."

Harry admitted about the bar. "I needed out."

"Have you had anything to eat?"

"I will eat up at school."

"Dinner is over."

Harry reminded him. "Elves, or I know my way to the kitchens."

Lucius pointed. "I know the Hogs Head kitchen is still open."

Harry shrugged. "I guess you aren't too bad company."

Lucius led the way. "Progress."

"We may have to eat quickly."

"Worried about being seen?"

"When my brothers realize I ditched them, they will come looking."

Lucius didn't seem to mind the risk and they took a seat in the pub. It was not a top choice of either but it was still serving some dinner now. Harry had eaten some at the bar but had missed dinner. Harry didn't notice, but Lucius did, when they were found about a half hour later. Draco and Charlie of all odd pairs found them. But seeing Harry relaxed and laughing, they left the two men in peace. The brothers were happy enough. He had come out even if he had ditched them, and he had danced. They had no intention of backing down till they got him for a second one. Lucius walked Harry back to the school but not right up to the castle. Harry asked if Lucius was going to be back in the area soon.

Lucius made Harry blush a bit when he said. "Not unless I was invited perhaps."
