Harry and Remus had stayed in London after the wedding. They decided to spend the Easter break away from school. Students were busy studying and they would soon have a lot of marking. Teddy was excited to spend some time with his Grandma. Teddy had not come to the wedding and had stayed with Grandma for the night. Andromeda was always happy to have him. She had friends and work, but she wouldn't date after the loss of her husband. Teddy, Harry and even Draco were her family. She hoped to baby-sit for Draco and Harry's kids one day as well.

Lucius decided that their fifth date had been too rushed and they needed a redo. He decided he would keep a promise he had made to Harry. He wasn't certain but he knew Harry would not forget it any time soon. He made plans with Harry two days after the wedding.

Harry kissed Lucius when he came to pick him up. "Anxious were you?"

"I thought we both agreed we needed to do this more often."

Harry agreed. "Intrigued to see what you have up your sleeve."

Lucius pulled something out. "These."

Harry was surprised. "Tickets to the United game?"

Lucius smiled. "Last game of the season.'

Harry was amazed. 'It is the finals."

"I thought you'd want to cheer on your friends."

Harry kissed him. "These are amazing.'

"I know you considered playing with them."

Harry sighed. ''After…..well it wasn't right."

"Can still enjoy watching."

Harry agreed. "With the company."

Lucius apparated them to the stadium. "I have a surprise after."

Harry's eyes lit up. "What?"

"You will have to wait and see."

The season ran October to the end of March. The finals though were in April, today the game that named league champion. The team would have training camp in May, and then be off for three months. Katie and Oliver both played for the national team as well during those off months. He was amazed Lucius not only landed tickets but tickets in the owner's box for them. He was reminded there was perks to dating a Malfoy. Harry had not had such good seas since the world cup game. Lucius surprised him when he had some food for them knowing it may be a long game. It wasn't the national team, but the league championship game was major, and sold out nearly as quick. They were playing the Harpies.

Lucius smiled and asked Harry who he was cheering for, noting Ginny of course was on the Harpies. Harry could admit to being a bit conflicted. He would be happy if Ginny won, but he could admit he was always a United fan. He shouldn't feel guilty, Ron cheered the cannons.

Lucius smiled a few hours later when the United won. "Should have made a bet."

Harry smiled. "I would have won either way."

"I know there is a secret United fan in there even if you claim to be unbiased."

Harry laughed. "But you can't tell my brothers."

He was surprised when a voice came from behind. "Tell our brothers what?"

Harry turned and hugged Ginny. "Amazing game, you came close."

Ginny returned it. "We will have it next year."

"Would think you'd be down for the ceremony and shower."

Ginny reminded him. "Not needed for the ceremony this time."

Harry saw Oliver and Katie coming out again in the air. "Miss it sometimes."

Ginny had a secret smile. "Not for long."

"What does that mean?"

Lucius played coy. "They are joining us for dinner."

"Somehow I don't think that is what she means."

They watched the trophy ceremony and waited. They were joined by Oliver and Katie, but also Ginny and her husband. They indeed did go out for dinner all six of them. The United would have an official celebration as a team in a day or two. The team was all out with their loved ones. Harry was happy even if on a date, to share it with them. It just made it a group date but he had no idea what was coming next. He was surprised when they got back to the stadium after dinner. It was empty but the lights were on. He was even more surprised when brooms came out.

Lucius took a broom. "I made you a promise."

Harry grinned. "To fly with me."

"Thought it safer this way."

Harry pointed out. "More witnesses."

Katie agreed. "And we're professionals."

Oliver took out some practice balls. "We'll take it easy on the old man."

Harry reminded them. "Missing the team."

Ginny's husband smiled. "I used to play keeper in my day."

Oliver motioned. "Me, Lucius and Ginny, against Katie, Harry and Matt."

Harry pointed out. "Two professionals to tone, seems unfair."

Lucius smirked. "May need the extra hand with me the only chaser."

Ginny laughed. "I highly doubt you are out matched."

Harry reminded her. "I haven't played in forever."

"Better than Charlie when you never played before."

Harry took to the air and he could admit it felt good again. He smiled when he saw Lucius play chaser. He wasn't too bad but one could tell it had been years. Harry on the other hand seemed to be a natural as he had always been on a broom. His team won because he beat Ginny to the snitch both games they played. Harry and Lucius were left alone by the others after the second, and Harry got his wish to fly with Lucius. The tickets, the dinner and game with others, and flying had all been great. He could admit he liked seeing this side of Lucius. They later stopped at a pub in London for some dessert and a drink before Lucius was to take him home to Grimmauld. It had definitely been a good night for them.

Lucius smiled when Harry asked what he had up next, before he left. "I guess you will just have to see."

Harry had a good Easter break and was happy to return back to school for the last few months. George and Draco were relaxed when they got back. And happy to be sharing an apartment at school. They could have lived together before in George's flat but Draco needed to be at school. The two of them were hoping to announce baby news. Harry could tell Lucius was almost as anxious as his son was by the prospect.

As the students started into finals, so did the teachers of course. There was a lot of test prep and marking after as well. They didn't administer the NEWT and OWL exams but they had to help their students prepare for them. Defense was one of the big four, and meant more stress.

Harry was headed into town when he saw someone. "Out for air?"

Severus reminded him. "Exercise."

"There must be somewhere else to walk."

Severus continued to walk. "Draco suggested town."

Harry grumbled. "I doubt with me."

"He told me to stop brooding."

"Perhaps you need a friend."

Severus grunted. "I don't see your father being any more willing."

Harry was reminded of the bond. "You'd be surprised. He can be reasonable."

Severus grunted. "The most reasonable marauder at least."

"Lucius might humor you with a game of chess."

Severus changed topics. "Going into town?"

"I am a teacher I remind you."

"Mid-day seems an odd time."

"My seniors are studying. I assume why you are out here."

"Going to see George?"

"Why are you so nosy?"

"It's called making small talk."

Harry admitted. "I am picking up my brother."

'Should you not be headed to London?"

"He is at school."

Severus was a tad surprised to hear that to say the least. "Little young isn't he?"

Harry explained that he hedge witch school in town had a pre-school program once a week for three year olds. Teddy had just turned three. He was too young to have started before. He would start in September but he had been invited for the morning, to see how the class was. It really was just a big play group of sorts. Hedge witch schools had only become common in the UK since the war. They had been common abroad though. There had been the rare one, but many kids were home schooled or went to muggle school, before Hogwarts until the last few years. Andromeda had heard about the program and thought it would be good for Teddy. Remus had more than agreed. He had taken his son that morning for the trial run. If Teddy enjoyed it, he would be enrolled in the fall. He could do it for two years before kindergarten.

Harry allowed the man to accompany him and explained. Remus had been bogged down and he had a few kids wanting some tutoring. Harry had offered to pick up his brother from school and take him for lunch. Harry loved spending time with his little brother.

Teddy was big smiles when he saw Harry. "Harry, Harry."

Harry caught up his little brother. "Did you have a good time?"

Teddy bounced. "Miss Patel says I have to wait till fall to come back."

Padma stood in the door. "We will be happy to have him back."

Harry smiled at Padma, who had started recently. "Thanks."

Teddy saw Severus. "Why is he here?"

Harry had no idea how to answer. "He…."

"Came to take the two of you for lunch." Severus finished.

Teddy beamed. "Can we have dragon fingers?"

Harry laughed. "I think that sounds good."

Severus smirked. "Dragon fingers? I haven't had those since I was a child."

Harry shrugged. "You could always head back to school."

Severus grunted. "And disappoint the boy?"

They went into the Three Broomsticks and sat down for lunch. Dragon fingers were just the wizard name for chicken fingers really. Harry was surprised when Severus actually ordered up three plates of them. Teddy thought it was pretty cool. They were finishing when George arrived. It seemed Fleur had given birth to her and Bill's second daughter, and they were expected at the hospital. Harry was shocked when Severus had offered to take Teddy back to school. He was reluctant but he agreed. He was reminded that Severus would never hurt his little brother. He did send word to Remus what was happening before he left with George. He was happy to be there to welcome little Dominique. Counting her big sister and Lucy, Dominique made it three girls and two boys for Weasley grandkids. Audrey and Percy recently found out they were expecting.

Remus had got the patronus and was waiting on the grounds. "I am surprised."

Severus shrugged. "Harry sent word."

Teddy ran to him. "Daddy it was so fun."

Remus scooped up his son. "I am glad to hear it."

Teddy looked. "Mr. Snape had dragon fingers with me."

Remus looked at the man. "Did he now?"

Severus shrugged. "It seems to have been on the menu."

"Can he come push me on my swing?"

Remus was surprised. "He may want to go in and rest."

Teddy turned a pout to the man. "Will you?"

Severus smirked. "I see your big brother taught you well."

Teddy pouted bigger. "Please."

Remus assured him. "He will be fine."

Severus grunted. "Where is this swing?"

Severus found himself by Hagrid's hut where a swing set was made for Teddy and any other small kids. Remus was surprised the man came. But he smiled for a moment to watch the man and his son. He was reminded that Severus had always been quite hands on with Draco when he was a kid. There was a small part of his old friend showing when he was with Teddy on the swing. Teddy was totally oblivious and just thought he liked his big brother's friend. Teddy actually took Severus' hand and led him into the school when Remus said it was time for dinner.

Before he took his son to bed after Remus said. "Thanks for being so good to him."

Severus smiled at the little boy and said simply. "Harry reminded me a friend or two couldn't hurt. And you always were the reasonable marauder."
