"And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this pain would be for
Evermore
(Evermore)
Can't not think of all the cost
And the things that will be lost"
-Taylor Swift "Evermore"

A couple hours had went by since the engagement, Harry and Draco were still lounging on the sofa. Just enjoyed each other's company.

Draco stirred. "Harry love, we should go tell Mother of our engagement."

Harry groaned. "Dray, I don't want to get up. I'm comfy where I am." He pouted.

Draco chuckled. "I do not wish to disturb your highness but I also do not want to make Mother sore."

Harry reluctantly got off the sofa. "Let's freshen up." He slowly walked out of the room and Draco followed.

Once Harry and Draco were ready, they walked to the floo and said "Malfoy Manor". Of course as they landed, Harry stumbled like every other time nearly taking Draco with him.

When Harry and Draco righted themselves and saw that Severus was there smirking. "Well, Potter still clumsy as ever I see." Something caught his eye. "I suppose congratulations are in order." Eyeing the rings on their left hands.

Draco smiled. "We already know Harry can barely stick the landings when it comes to the floo. And thank you, Sev. It happened just a few hours ago and I wanted to inform Mother."

Severus nodded. "I am sure Narcissa will be pleased." He smiled slightly. "I must take my leave. If you need me I will be the library." He nodded to both of them and walked away.

Draco and Harry went to find Narcissa who was in the sitting room.

Narcissa noticed them come into the room and stood up to greet them. "Hello darlings. What a pleasant surprise! What is the special occasion? Did I forget that you were coming by?" She smiled sweetly.

Harry blushed a smidge. "You didn't forget because we weren't planning to visit but earlier today I proposed to Draco." He down at his feet. "Ooofff!" Narcissa unexpectedly hugged him.

Narcissa pulled away slightly. "Oh that is such wonderful news, dear! You do not know how happy I am for you both!" She had some tears in her eyes. She walked over to her son and hugged him just as tightly. "Ohhh Draco darling! I could not be happier than I am right for you!" Narcissa noticed how Harry looked forlornly at them. "Harry darling, whatever is the matter?" She smiled softly at him.

Harry looked away embarrassed. "It just kinda hit me that my parents, Sirius and Remus won't be here for my wedding. I always wished they could all be there. I know I have the Weasleys, you and Draco but it still feels like something is missing." A tear ran down his cheek.

Narcissa hugged Harry once more. "Harry, I know it is a difficult time for you but you have many people who care for you and want the best for you. Myself included. I know Arthur, Molly and I can not replace your parents. And Severus certainly never replace Sirus or Remus." She chuckled lightly. "We are always here for you no matter what." For a moment Narcissa was lost in thought. Suddenly she released Harry. "Excuse me for a bit. I need to attend to something." She quickly left the room.

Both Draco and Harry were confused by Narcissa's abrupt departure.

Draco went to Harry and took him by the hand. He lead them to a sofa where he held Harry close as he cried softly. Draco gently rubbed his back and whispered sweet nothings into his ear, to help calm him. They silently sat there for what seemed like hours.

After Narcissa left, she went up to the Malfoy secret library where they kept the family's blood magic books. When she had heard how sad Harry was, she thought of something that she had long forgotten about. There was a spell that could bring back loved ones. She grabbed the book that had the spell. Narcissa flipped through the pages and finally found the the perfect spell. She looked over the words.

Narcissa pricked her finger and let the book absorb her blood. She started chanting. "Peto converteret amissorum, peto converteret amissorum, peto converteret amissorum. Hostias et pariet Sirius Black et Remus Lupin. Hostias et pariet James et Lily Potter." She shouted and everything went black.

Back in the sitting room Draco was still holding Harry who was had stopped crying. They were snuggled into each other when they were interrupted by someone shouting.

Sirius Black and Remus Lupin both suddenly appeared. Both looked befuddled and stared at Draco and Harry with wide eyes.

Sirius was the first to speak. "What in the bloody hell is going on? What is the meaning of this? Get away from my godson you Death Eater scum!" He looked furious.

Draco looked beyond frightened but recovered quickly. "You say what in the bloody hell is going on but I say what in the bloody hell are you doing here? You both died! And Black how dare you say those things to me! I love Harry with everything I have so bugger off!" He fumed.

Remus stared in surprise and slowly stepped closer to Sirius. "Please everyone calm down! Siri, let us listen to Harry and the Malfoy heir."

Sirius continued to rant. "Remy, how could you be so fucking calm? We are in Malfoy Manor and our Harry is canoodling with a Malfoy? Do you not see the issue with this? Because I certainly do!" He stared holes in Draco.

Remus sighed. "Siri love, you do realise that you have been dead for quite some time. And I do not see Voldemort here and this place feels lighter and the decor has changed. It has a woman's touch. Narcissa's I presume."

Sirius finally looked around and visibly relaxed. "Does this mean Voldemort is gone for good? Bloody hell! I never thought I would see that day!" He smiled and chuckled. "Where is Lucius? I would love to punch him again."

Harry chuckled and spoke up. "I defeated Voldemort and Lucius got a one way ticket to Azkaban courtesy of me." He looked at both Sirius and Remus. "Not that I don't love seeing you both but how are you here and alive?" He walked over and hugged them both.

Sirius was about to answer but was interrupted by the sudden appearance of James and Lily Potter. Everyone's eyes went incredibly wide.

James huffed. "Bloody hell! Why the fuck am I in Malfoy Manor of all places? Am I in Hell or something?" He continued to curse under his breath.

Lily gave James a scathing look. "If you were in Hell, why would you have your best friends and wife with you? Unless it is hell having your family around you which is deeply disturbing to think about! Ugh, sometimes I wonder what I saw in you in moments like these!" She huffed.

Sirius laughed. "Bloody hell! I have missed watching you bicker in real life! Never a dull moment with you two!" He was shaking with laughter.

Harry watched the exchange not knowing what to think of it all. Draco got off the sofa and walked to him and hugged him close. He kissed Harry on the cheek. Harry grabbed Draco's hand and squeezed it and gave him a small smile.

Lily finally looked at her son. "Harry?" She quickly walked over to him. "Would it be okay if I hugged you?" He nodded and she hugged him. Both had tears in their eyes. "I never thought I would get the chance to physically hug you. I wished for it to happen and now it has. One of my happiest moments ever!" She hugged him again.

James stepped forward. "Bloody hell! You've grown so much!" He saw the ring on his left hand. "And you're engaged!" He looked over at Draco. "A Potter marrying a Malfoy? I feel like I'm in an episode of the Twilight Zone." Everyone chuckled aside from Draco. "So Harry care to explain what's happening?"

An exhausted Narcissa walked into the room slowly. "I am the one who summoned you actually." Everyone looked at her curiously. "There is a blood magic spell that the Malfoy family created long ago. Earlier today when Harry came by, I saw how sad he was. He missed you all so much. I took it upon myself to cast the spell. I have never used it before so I did not know if it would work or not but I had to try for Harry. He has done so much for my family and I wanted to give his back. Unfortunately, I passed out before I could explain. I am pleased to see no one has ripped my son apart. I appreciate that." She smirked.

Harry had tears staining his cheeks. "Narcissa, I don't know what to say. This is truly the best gift I've ever gotten other than your son's heart. I can't believe you would risk your life for me again." He went over and hugged her. "Thank you."

Narcissa pulled away and gave him a small smile. "It was worth the risk. I wanted to give you the best possible wedding gift."

Sirius gave Narcissa a smile. "I do not think anyone can top this wedding gift. You outdid yourself, Malfoy." He smirked.

Narcissa rolled her eyes. "Only a Slytherin can think of a way to go over the top in gift giving. And for your information, it is Black. I divorced Lucius." She smirked.

Remus chuckled lightly. "Siri love." He kissed Sirius on the cheek and looked at Narcissa. "I think what Sirius meant to say is thank you. We all appreciate what you did." He smiled at her.

Harry smiled. "Actually, Narcissa has saved the day twice. She lied to Voldemort in the forest and now you've brought my family back. I really don't know how to thank you for everything you've done."

Narcissa smiled softly. "Harry darling, loving and protecting my Draco is more than enough. It truly is."

Severus strolled into the sitting room. "Narcissa, what is with all the commotion?" He looked around and saw the Potters, Sirius and Remus. "Bloody hell! Narcissa, what did you do? Did you take your Gryffindor pill today because you look like you have gone ten rounds with a dementor?! How reckless! This is something I would expect Harry or Weasley to do, not you. What were you thinking? You know how risky blood magic can be. It is bad enough when you bring one person back to life but four? Have you lost your mind?" He sneered at James and Sirius. "And you bring back those two? Do you not recall how they bullied me?" He fumed.

Sirius spoke up. "Snape. I mean Severus." He looked at the floor. "Umm, I understand your ire but I do not think you should attack Narcissa for what she did. She wanted to help Harry and show him how much she loves him. I believe this was her way of telling him, bringing us all back for him."

Severus huffed. "That is all well and good but she never consulted with me. She should have come to me. I am sure she had a bad reaction to the spell she performed. I could have given her potions to help." He gave her a worried look. "Not to mention, that Lily is now here. Even if I have moved on, it is still a bit painful to look at her." He sheepishly looked at Lily. "No offence. I, too, was brought back to life not too long ago and I just recently found something I never thought possible for me. Requited love."

Lily smiled softly at Severus. "None taken, Severus. I can not imagine what you are feeling right now but I think I want to make peace with the past. We all did something wrong back then but we have a second chance and I think we should take advantage of that." She looked at him hopefully. "Only if you want to, that is."

James grunted. "This can't be happening! You want to be friends with a Death Eater? Are you out of your mind?" He sighed. "It's bad enough our son is marrying into a Death Eater family!" Everyone was shocked by what he said.

Harry had tears in his eyes, not knowing what to say. He was about to respond when Hermione entered the room. He smiled at her grateful.

Hermione looked like she could kill someone. "James, you have no room to talk! You have not been here for all of Harry's life! How dare you for judging someone falling in love with someone different when you do not what awful shit Harry has been through. You were not here to raise him! Your wife's side of family treated him like a fucking house elf! He did not know he was a wizard until he was eleven years old! Sadly, he never knew kindness until getting to Hogwarts. The Weasleys helped to raise him and showed him the love he deserved. Draco and Narcissa too for that matter! Narcissa lied to Voldemort's face about Harry being alive. It gave our side an advantage. Draco lied to Bellatrix about recognising Harry when we were captured. Severus became Dumbledore's double agent. His love for your wife won out in the end by doing his best to keep Harry safe without compromising his position as a spy! So do not attack Severus, Draco or Narcissa. Yes they have made terrible choices but all three eventually changed and did the right thing. I think we can all agree we are all guilty of making bad decisions." She looked at everyone thoughtfully. "Besides I doubt Harry would have fallen in love with Draco if he had not changed into a better version of himself. Harry can be daft but not that daft for crying out loud! And I never would have given Severus a chance if I did not think he was a good person." She took Severus' hand and squeezed it. "James you need to get over your prejudice or you will lose a chance to know your son. Are you really that selfish? How very Lucius like. He disowned Draco for choosing Harry and for being gay. Narcissa has been nothing but loving and supportive, as surprising as that is for you to understand. The question is, do you want to squander your second chance or actually be a father and love your son no matter what? It is your choice. Though, I doubt your wife will want to give up being in her son's life so you would lose them both. Personally, I think there has been enough conflict for many lifetimes. Harry deserves peace. We all do. Do you not agree?" She gave him a steer look.

James looked down at the floor, embarrassed. Lily smiled at both Hermione and Severus. "You always did like them feisty, Severus." She teased. "The past is just that, the past and that is where it should stay. It would do you some good, James, to actually grow up. If our son can put aside his differences so can you. We have a chance to spend time with our son and that is what should matter. And it sounds to me that Draco and Narcissa were in a tight spot and were just surviving the second war. Both saved our son and his friends so I think we should give them a chance." She smiled at Draco and Narcissa.

Remus softly chuckled to himself. "I guess odder than things have happened like a werewolf attending Hogwarts and becoming a professor there for a short time." He smirked. "I think Hermione is right. There has been enough conflict to last quite a few lifetimes. I have enough conflict once a month that I do not need it the rest of the time." He frowned.

Sirius put his arm around Remus. "I certainly would not mind getting to know Draco and reconnecting with Narcissa without Lucius' influence." He smiled at Narcissa and Draco. "For Harry's sake, I think we should all try to get along. There has been enough pain and heartache. We all need to get over ourselves." Everyone looked surprised at what he said.

James bit his lip and sighed. "I don't want to be compared to the likes of Lucius. He's a horrid human. Narcissa, Draco I'm sorry for my outburst. I hope you can forgive me for my momentary lapse in judgement. Draco, you seem to be a far better person than your father is and Narcissa I'm glad you came to your senses and thank you for helping my son. And Snape I never apologised for all the years of torment I caused you during our Hogwarts days so I'm sorry. It wasn't right of me to ever be that cruel to you. We were stupid kids back then but that's still no excuse. As far as Harry, I have to thank you for keeping him safe. I'm always letting my anger and prejudice cloud my decisions and judgement."

Sirius chuckled. "Understatement of the century, James." Remus elbowed him in the ribs. "Oww!" He made a face.

Hermione smiled. "Wonderful. I am glad I came to visit. Otherwise, I probably would have had to visit most of you in St. Mungo's. You men can be such stubborn arses! Again, I had to save the day. Sheesh! Harry and Ron wouldn't survived at Hogwarts without me and now this. I should get a bloody award for dealing with idiots like you. It's a wonder that the human race- magical or not- is still going strong with you idiotic men." She huffed.

Harry looked at his parents, Sirius and Remus. "I would never bet against Hermione ever. That would be suicide." He chuckled. "I wanted to give you all an explanation of how everything came together." He sighed heavily. "It wasn't until I was eleven years old that I knew I was a wizard. I was a freak in the Dursley's eyes and they hated me. I met Ron and Hermione on the Hogwarts Express. We were all sorted into Gryffindor, though the Sorting Hat had difficulty placing me into a house because of having some Slytherin traits I suppose. I finally had a home in Hogwarts and it was awful to leave every year." He took a moment. "As for Draco, all throughout Hogwarts he was an arse to me and my friends, in large part due to Lucius' influence. The war happened and we lost a lot of good people. Death Eater trials commenced. Due to saving our arses, I spoke in defence of Draco and Narcissa at their trials. I even spoke at Lucius' but only to ensure he would end up in Azkaban for the rest of his life. I went to Malfoy Manor to return Draco's wand that I stole. We figured out that we had feelings for each other but we didn't want to upset our loved ones so at first we agreed to be friends. That didn't last long. Our relationship progressed into something more serious. The Weasleys were supportive, aside from Ron at first, and Narcissa was always super supportive. She thought of me as her son-in-law long before the proposal. I couldn't believe how lucky I had gotten with Molly and Narcissa who treated me like family. It made not having my mum around hurt a little less." He looked at Lily. "Draco is everything to me and I can't wait to call him my husband. First year me would be appalled at who I ended up with." He chuckled. "And now my family is truly complete because of Narcissa. I can have you all to our wedding and that means the world to me." He had tears in his eyes. "It's a dream come true." He gave everyone a watery smile.

Lily walked over to her son and hugged him. She pulled back a bit. "Ohh Harry dear, I am so proud of you and the man you have become despite the challenges you have faced. I have always just wanted to be happy and at peace. I can tell that Draco anchors you, much like how I anchor James." She smirked. "Nothing is more important to me than seeing you in love and smiling like a loon because of your Draco." She walked over to Draco. "Thank you for loving my son and making him happy. You both deserve to be happy." She surprised Draco by pulling him into a hug. At first, Draco did not hug back but slowly he put his arms around Lily. After a few moments, Lily pulled back and smiled at him.

Sirius interrupted the sweet moment by opening his mouth. "So group hug everyone?" Everyone just glared at him. "What? It is a legitimate question. Don't get all judgy."

Remus shook his head at Sirius' antics. "Siri love, I think it might be a bit soon for that kind of gesture. Besides, I do not see Severus hugging us. Maybe hexing us, rightfully so." He smirked at Severus. "Maybe someday you will get your wish, love."

Harry yawned and Narcissa noticed. "It has been a tiring day. You should head home, Harry darling. We could all use a good rest."

Harry nodded. "I can't argue with that. Mum, Dad, Sirius and Remus you're welcome to come stay at Grimmauld Place with Draco and I. I can have Kreacher set up bedrooms for you." His parents, Sirius and Remus nodded in agreement.

Draco and Harry hugged Narcissa and Hermione. The others waved their goodbyes.

When everyone landed back in Grimmauld Place, Harry called for Kreacher. "Master Harry, what do you need?"

Harry smiled softly at the house elf. "Could you set up two extra bedrooms? Narcissa resurrected my parents, Sirius and Remus and they're staying here."

Kreacher nodded. "Of course, of course. Kreacher would be happy to help." He popped out.

Sirius just stared where Kreacher had been. "Bloody hell! He is still alive and kicking. And he is nice? What did you do to him, Harry?"

Harry chuckled. "I returned Regulus' necklace to him. The one that was a horcrux. Though the one he has is a replica that I thought was the real horcrux. He really seemed fond of Regulus so I thought it just made sense to return it to him. And ever since I gave it back to him he's been kinder and more tolerant."

Remus smiled fondly at Harry. "Kindness does go a long way even with house elves. That was incredibly thoughtful of you. Hermione must be proud." He chuckled.

Before anyone could reply, Kreacher returned. "Kreacher cleaned and set up two bedrooms for your guests, Master Harry. Kreacher will show you to your rooms if you would like."

Sirius nodded. "That would be lovely. I could use a rest. How about you, Remy? Have a lay down with me?" He affectionately smiled at Remus.

Remus rolled his eyes at Sirius. "Of course you want to sleep even though you have been dead love. Though, a good cuddle with you sounds like quite nice." He kissed Sirius on the cheek. Sirius blushed a bit.

Lily chuckled at the two of them. "Ohhh you two are shamelessly cute! What do you say James, cuddle with me?" She smirked while mocking Sirius. "In all seriousness though, I think we all could use some rest."

The two couples followed Kreacher up to their bedrooms leaving Draco and Harry alone.

Draco pulled Harry close. "How are you holding up, love? I know having your parents, Sirius and Remus back must be a lot to take in."

Harry faced Draco and placed his hand on Draco's face. He looked into his eyes and slowly closed the distance between them. At first it was a slow, chaste kiss. Draco pulled Harry as close to him as possible to deepen the kiss. They both moaned into the kiss. When air became an issue, they pulled away from the kiss.

Harry smiled at Draco. "I'm doing okay. I'm happy they're back but it's a bit overwhelming. I never thought this was possible and then Narcissa went and did the impossible. I can't thank her enough. I just hope everyone can figure out a way to get along. I would like to have peace like Hermione said."

Draco looked at Harry intently. "I am sure they get their heads out of their arses for your sake. And if they do not, we can have Molly sort them out. She is a very scary person when you get on her bad side. I know she would be happy to help you if there is an issue." He smiled at Harry.

Harry nodded. "Fair point. I can always ask Molly for help." He leaned into Draco. "Thank you for your support in all this. I couldn't handle it all without you. I love you, Dray." He gave him a soft kiss.

Draco deepened the kiss a bit and slowly pulled away. "Anything for you. I love you too, Harry." He kissed his forehead. "Love, you want to take a rest?"

Harry nodded and took Draco's hand leading them up to their bedroom. Once they were settled into bed, they pulled each other close. Harry's head rested on Draco's chest. Draco kissed the top of Harry's head. "Sleep, love." Not long after laying down and cuddling, both were asleep with Draco holding Harry close. Both looked peaceful.
