AN: Happy birthday to Evanna Lynch. This chapter is dedicated to the amazing actress who brought to life everyone's favorite Loony Ravenclaw.

Harry found his brothers were even more insistent on getting him to go out again. He had snuck out on them but they hadn't been surprised. Honestly they had thought he may try earlier then he did. They hadn't revealed he had been found dining with Lucius. Draco was reminded because of Severus, and Andromeda, Harry had got to know his dad. He assumed they had decided to keep each other company for dinner. George and Draco decided in October that they wouldn't take no for an answer. They had enlisted the other members of George and Harry's old team. Oliver told them he really must love Harry to agree to go to a strip club. The other members were all female or gay.

Harry had been looking for an out and this time Neville and Luna would be his source. Though they both thought he should go out, Luna's water broke Saturday afternoon. They both considered Harry family and had wanted him to be there for the birth of their first child. Harry wouldn't miss it.

Harry was happy to come in an hour later. "How are you?"

Luna beamed from bed. "Amazing."

Neville motioned to Harry, but the other two. "Come see him."

Augusta was first to take her great-grandson. "Your father would be so pleased."

Xeno looked down. "So would your mother."

Luna had tears but looked at Augusta. "I am grateful he has one grandmother to hold him."

Neville looked at Harry. "We would like you to be his godfather."

Harry was honored. "You know I will."

Luna added. "Ginny will be his godmother."

Xeno asked. "And what have you named him?"

There was little surprised when Neville said. "Frank Xeno."

Luna smiled at her dad. "Both his grandpas."

Xeno was touched. "The next quibbler editor."

Harry laughed. "I thought I got to teach him to fly."

Neville reminded him. "Not sure even you will have luck with our son."

Harry shrugged. "Luna can handle heights. I like a challenge."

Harry got a photo with his little godson. Little Frankie was the image of Neville but he had his mother's blonde hair and eyes. Harry was the closest thing to an Uncle the baby had. Neither Neville nor Luna had a lot of friends even in school. Luna and Ginny though had known each other since diapers and she was no surprise either. Ginny was away for a game, the rare one out of country, or would have been there too. She and Luna may not have been as close as Harry was to the couple, but she was the closest female friend. Harry knew Neville and Luna were sad that his parents and her mother were not there. But they were lucky to have Xeno and Augusta. Harry reminded himself if he had kids, he would have family. Moony and Teddy, the Weasleys, Andromeda and his friends would be there. And his parents and Sirius he was sure watched.

Harry headed down from the infirmary and he was no disappointed to miss a night out. He knew it would only be a short reprieve. It had taken them near a month to get him to agree again and now he did, they would push. He tried to remind himself it was better than some blind date.

Harry was unpleasantly surprised outside. "What are you doing lurking?"

Severus shrugged. "I had heard Luna went into labor."

"And you rushed as they were your favorite students of course."

"I thought Draco may need a hand."

'A nurse came from the hospital."

"How is your godson?"

Harry snapped. "Spying now?"

"It was no secret it was a boy."

"And that he is my godson?"

"Nor is your bond with them both."

Harry grunted. "Count yourself lucky you didn't have to share the honors."

"Perhaps for a second." Severus replied.

Harry choked. "Because you plan to be buddies with Neville."

"No but certainly he would choose his brother's husband."

Harry stared at the man like he had grown two heads. Severus was not his fiancé, not even his boyfriend, and would never be again. He had thrown that away a long time ago. So unless Severus planned to date, well Harry wasn't sure Neville or Luna was close enough to anyone to replace Harry, it wasn't happening. Neville and Luna had been good about Severus when they dated, but he was certainly not a favorite.

Harry went to leave. "If they name any teacher, I am sure it would be Filius or my father."

Severus followed. "I was heading into town for dinner."

"Don't let me keep you."

"The table is for two."

"I am sure your company would rather you not be late."

"I thought I would escort you."

Harry smirked. "I would rather keep my appetite."

"You have missed dinner at school."

Harry shrugged. "I was thinking of placing a floo call to Oliver and the others."

Severus tried to bite back the anger. "Oliver? Doesn't seem your type."

"Katie would agree. But I was meant to go to a club with them tonight before this."

Severus was doing a bad job of hiding his ire. "George did so badly last time?"

"Had fun, and they promised me a strip club this time."

Severus was practically spitting. "Strip club? Since when do you like looking at naked strangers?"

Harry shrugged. "Sounds fun. Haven't seen any for a long time."

Severus pulled him in. "I have a better one for you."

Harry flushed and for a moment he remembered the first time they had kissed, and the first time they had made love. Severus took the moment to tilt his head up and kiss him. It was not a simple brush, it was a demanding hungry kiss, a hand tight behind his neck to keep him in place. Harry tried to pull back, but Severus held Harry's hands to his chest with his other hand. He eventually did come up for air and let go.

Severus called as Harry turned to flee. "My password is Salazar. We both know whose bed, and arms, you belong in."

Harry couldn't believe the man had the nerve to pull that. He thought that Harry would really run back into his arms and his bed? Harry would rather become a monk. He surprised his friends when he asked them to take him out the following Friday. They thought surely they would have to persuade him. They knew something must have happened but they didn't push the matter with him. They were just happy he had agreed.

Harry was headed to spend the weekend in London the following weekend. He didn't have a quidditch game to see until the following weekend. He brought some marking with him but he planned to spend the weekend there. He was reminded that teachers got to have lives as well.

Oliver appeared shortly after he did. "You're here."

Harry turned. "Planning on robbing me if not?"

"Worried you had run off."

"I was the one who rescheduled."

Oliver agreed. "Still surprised."

"I knew you guys would not back off."

"Just expected more of a fight."

"Maybe I am anxious for naked men."

Oliver groaned. "Don't remind me."

Harry laughed. "Still don't know how we got you to come."

Oliver shrugged. "I am told some straight men go."

Harry assured him. "We will tell you when to uncover your eyes."

Oliver laughed but elbowed him. "Thanks for that."

Harry rubbed his ribs. "Just happy you'd come."

"What are friends for?"

Harry snorted. "Not sure you could pay Ron enough."

"Remember that when it comes to choosing a best man and godfather."

"I think I need a boyfriend first."

"And that is what we are here for."

Harry joked as they headed out, he didn't think Molly or Remus would approve of him dating a stripper. Oliver nearly choked again in agreement. But there would be certainly other gay men there to meet. And tonight was a bit more about having fun and remembering that side of him. He had been focused on work and family for far too long. It was time he got a chance to date and be a normal young man.

George and the others were waiting in the Leaky Cauldron for them and they headed down the road. Oliver was not the only one happy he had initiated this. Or wondering what had given him the final push to finally agree to this as well. But they didn't push.

Harry stopped at the door. "Maybe a club."

George pushed. "This was your idea."

Oliver agreed. "If I can do this, so can you."

Harry reminded him. "If I don't, you don't need to."

Alicia pulled him along. "You are both coming."

Angelina agreed. "No more stalling."

Kate kissed her boyfriend. "Need to keep me honest I thought."

Oliver laughed. "I noticed Alicia and Angie's boyfriends didn't come."

Angelina laughed. "John says he likes Harry but not that much."

Alicia agreed. "Peter says he doesn't even love me that much."

Harry laughed. "Maybe we should find you a new man while at it."

Alicia shook her head. "I think I will keep him around."

They managed to get Harry in the door and they took a table near the stage. Harry was a bit red in the cheeks when the music started. He barely found his tongue when a waitress came and took their drink order. For Oliver's sake, it luckily was not a full nudity type club, but he definitely kept his eyes from the stage. Harry knew he was lucky in his friends, more and more. He could at least try and make the best of it.

He stood up about an hour in. "I'll be back."

Oliver smirked. "Do you need a chaperone?"

George agreed. "Or tracking charm?"

"I don't plan to sneak into a back room."

Alicia laughed. "They might like if you did."

Angie agreed. "Have some fun."

Oliver nodded. "Worried you are disappearing again."

Harry assured them. "Going to the bathroom."

Alicia whispered. "May be just as fun."

Angie nudged him. "Don't need to scare him."

George called. "Come back soon."

Oliver agreed. "Or we send the fun in."

Harry groaned. "I'll try."

Harry found the bathroom was empty when he went in there. He could admit he blushed when he heard what Alicia had said. Harry could admit perhaps it was not as bad as he thought. It definitely didn't hurt to see some of the men on the stage up there. He headed into a stall. He had no doubt his friends were not kidding. They may not send in some fun, but either George or Oliver would come in, if he didn't come back.

He was surprised when he came out of the stall, by a voice. "Well Potter, what a surprise to find you in a place like this."
