A few mornings later, Harry found himself humming to himself as he buttered some toast for breakfast. Teddy had already eaten and was playing loudly with a pot and a spoon on the kitchen floor. Saturday mornings were his favorite. Just him and Teddy to hang out all day with no rush or cares in the world.

Looking down, Harry was thankful that Teddy was such a good toddler. Two years ago when Harry had graduated from Hogwarts, he wasn't sure where he was going with his life. After defeating Voldermort he felt like he had no purpose. When Andromeda had come to him, Teddy only a few months old, explaining that while she loved having him, with her health and age she couldn't give him what he deserved. As his god father, she wanted to give him the chance to take him if he wanted.

Harry didn't hesitate. He had no clue what he was doing, taking care of a child, but he figured it out quickly. Ginny had been a huge help, staying the summer with him, teaching him all she knew herself. Though, romance between them was dead, their friendship was stronger than ever. So, Harry became a dad almost over night. The first time Teddy called him dad,he felt so guilty. Ginny had reassured him that it was normal and okay. Just because Teddy considered him his dad, didn't mean that Remus was any less his father.

Harry had quickly learned that love didn't replace love. Love helped you grow more love. Teddy would grow to love Remus once he was old enough to hear all about him.

"You must be in a really good mood if you're humming over just toast."

Harry dropped his butter knife and whipped his wand off the counter quickly.

"Bloody hell Ginny, a little warning that you are coming?! You just took ten years off my life." Harry clutched his chest, his heart hammering out from under his hand.

"I texted you, you didn't respond. I texted you last night as a matter of fact. And then this morning. What has you in such a good mood? Flirting with more boys are we?" Ginny moved and sat on a bar stool at the island.

Harry knew he was blushing, and hiding anything from Ginny was nearly impossible. Besides, it would be nice to talk about it a bit with someone. "Uh, well just one boy really. We may….. we may be…. Sextingeverynightbeforebed." Harry rushed out.

"Harry James Potter! You slag! You are sexting with a stranger?! I am so… proud of you!" Ginny said excitedly as Harry sat with his toast.

"It has been, liberating. Is it awful that I haven't even seen a good picture of him? We've been texting all week. I gave him my mobile number. So I didn't have to wait for him to log onto that ap." Harry shrugged.

Ginny looked at him with a sly smile, "Well I think it's great. Can I see his profile? I'm curious… is he blonde?" Ginny waggled her eyebrows. "Tell me all about him."

"His profile says he is. I haven't seen anything… except his ass, which is perfect by the way. He has that as his profile picture. I didn't pick him because he's blonde, Ginny. He's smart and funny. He doesn't care that I have no fucking idea what I'm doing with a man. Which is a main selling point for me. If I embarrass myself too bad, I can just block him and try again." Harry bent down taking the spoon and pan from Teddy who started to whine until he handed him a cup of juice and offered to pick him up.

Harry held Teddy close, bouncing him playfully as his phone vibrated. Ginny was quicker and snagged it away from him sliding the message open.

Cobra: I wish I was off of work today. Unfortunately, Saturdays are my money maker days. Best time for them to get naked I suppose.

Ginny looked at Harry, "You don't even know his first name? I assume Cobra was his user name." She asked with a frown. She slid away from the message and onto Wiz-Date to view the man's profile for herself. She was surprised to see many unopened messages from other men. Harry only every responded to this one.

After a few minutes, Ginny made a face and just set the phone down carefully. "Actually, I can see the appeal not knowing his name. Gives you a chance to get to know him better, so why does his work involve naked people?"

Harry took back his phone to send back a reply to Cobra quick.

Harry: Saturdays are my only full day home. Sundays I visit my adopted family for dinners usually. Where they have been trying to set me up with witches most recently. I just don't know how to tell them, I'm not interested without telling them I'm gay. I'm just not ready.

Harry sent his response and looked up at Ginny, who seemed like she had discovered Atlantis and was waiting for Harry to join her in the discovery. "He's a photographer. He does boudoir shoots. He promised to send over some of his work later today. He said he has a few regular that let him show off their pictures."

"So your sexy blonde, shoots naked people for a living. That's interesting. What else do you know about him? Did he go to Hogwarts or is he even from England?" Ginny asked as the phone buzzed again.

Cobra: I mean, the easiest answer would be just to tell them you like men but I get that you're not ready. Something tells me that would just make them bring home wizards for you anyways and not really solve the issue. You could tell them you're talking to someone.

Harry looked up from the phone and Ginny reached and took Teddy for him. "I never asked. It never occurred to me that he may have been at school with us. He's never asked me either though. I wouldn't tell him anyways. Not yet. I don't need him deciding that he has a juicy story that's worth selling to the profit."

Harry: I'm not good at lying… unless. We're talking right?

Ginny let Teddy play with her hair clip, smiling as the little boys sandy hair became red in glee. "Well maybe it's better not to ask unless you are ready to know for sure who this mystery man is. I mean if he did go to Hogwarts, he will definitely know who you are. Though, don't always think the worst Harry. Not everyone wants a bit of fame. What else do you know about him?"

"Well I know he comes from a strict pureblood family. He doesn't talk to his dad anymore. He said his mother supports him and his choices but left it at that. I know he works most weekends, and during the week he spends it with a few of his friends. He was apparently in an arranged marriage before he came out as gay. He said him and her are still friends." Harry watched his phone a lump in his throat. Maybe Cobra didn't think of them as talking.

When the phone finally went off Harry slide the message open quickly.

Cobra: I think that telling them you are talking to someone is the truth. Prongs, you are the only person I am talking to. I haven't used my ap since we connected. May be a little cocky to put all my dragon eggs in one nest but yes, we are talking. More than talking I would say.

Harry:Good, I know I can be a little slow on the uptake. I really like talking with you.

Cobra: As you should! But I really like talking to you too. I'll message you later, we can talk more about this. My first client is here. Have fun with your god son today.

Harry smiled looking back up at Ginny. "You know I'm so glad you made me down load this ap. Thank you Ginny."

Ginny watched Harry get up and move to the sink, cleaning up his mess. Hopefully he still felt that same way when he realized just who Cobra was.

Molly wrapped her arms around Harry the second he set Teddy down.

"Harry, I'm glad you could make dinner today. Charlie is home for Romania for a few days. He will be excited to catch up with you." She kissed his cheek ushering him inside.

Harry smiled at Molly, "I look forward to catching up with him too. Excuse me for a second Molly, let me go see where Teddy ran off too. God knows he's into everything lately." Harry moved through the door way and quickly located Teddy, already in Ginny's lap shoving his stuffed dragon in her face, pretending it was roaring.

Harry smiled at her and went to sit down, feeling a hand on his shoulder stopping him.

"Harry! It's good to see you!" Charlie grinned pulling Harry into a hug. "Look at you. All grown up! Can't believe I haven't seen you in almost two years!"

Harry hugged the man back, caught a little off guard at the gesture. "Yes well, we can't all be living the dream, wrangling dragons all day."

Charlie laughed pulling him to sit next to him on the couch. "Fair, fair. But mom did tell me you are head of the Auror department. You must get a fair bit of excitement."

"Actually, I accepted the position because it's mostly a desk job with a bit of politics. With taking care of Teddy I can't afford to take risks in the field. I don't miss actually chasing dark wizards. Your brother does a good job leading the actual team and task force out in the field. We still get to team together. Just a little bit differently."

Molly came in the living room, floating a tea tray in front of her. "Hermione and Ron will be here shortly. George is out in the shed with Arthur. They should be inside momentarily. Harry dear, I was talking with a friend of mine you know. She has a niece about your age, super sweet. Just graduated. Good head on her shoulders… I could invite her to the next family dinner.."

Harry cleared his throat as Ginny laughed under her breath. "I appreciate the offer Molly but -"

"Harry dear. You can't stay cooped up in that house all by your lonesome. You deserve to meet someone who you can love." Molly handed him a cup of tea.

"Actually Molly, I've met someone already. Ginny helped set me up with George's new invention and I met somebody already. But thank you for worrying about me." Harry sipped his tea.

"Harry! That's wonderful! You will have to bring her by for dinner. I'm sure we will all love her. I want to hear all about her… come on now. Tell us."

"Mum, let Harry breathe. He will tell you about his special someone when he is ready. Don't push him so hard." Charlie scolded.

"I'm not pushing his hard. I just want to see him happy. And you too Charlie. You spend all that time chasing and taming dragons and you will never bring me home a grandchild." Molly looked at him pointedly.

"Mum, seriously. I told you already, you aren't getting grandkids from me." Charlie glared at her.

"Just because you like men Charlie doesn't mean can't give me grandchildren. Adoption is always an option." Molly glared back at him hands on her hips.

"Mum must be talking about grandchildren again. If we back out slowly, we can avoid our lecture." Ron whispered to Hermione as them made way into the room. Hermione rolled her eyes at him.

"Molly, I believe Arthur needs you for a moment. Something about the garden."

Molly looked between Harry and Charlie pointedly, letting them know this conversation wasn't over for either of them and hurried outside to see what her husband had gotten himself into now.

"Thanks for the save Hermione. She is relentless." Charlie leaned back against the couch finally relaxing, his leg brushing up against Harrys.

"I didn't know you liked men." Harry blurted out, looking at Charlie surprised.

"I mean, it was never really a secret. I don't really date much with the travel and my job, but lately mums been a right pain in the arse about finally settling down. I guess the times I've seen you over the years it's never been a topic of conversation. Is it a problem for you? That I prefer men?"

Harry wanted to answer differently, tell him that no, it was a relief. That he wasn't alone in this journey but he wasn't ready to tell Ron and Hermione.

"No of course it's not a problem Charlie. Sorry, that was rude of me to ask like that. I just never knew." Harry offered gently.

Before Charlie could respond, George poked his head in, "Dinners done. Better hurry."

Charlie stood up and offered a hand to help Harry up. "Come on, come sit next to me so I can tell you all about the new breed of dragons we discovered."
