Sirius had never thought he would even take her out, and he certainly hadn’t thought he would be nervous. He had been on thousands of dates, though other then the failed French date it had been a decade He was reminded he wanted what Remus had with Severus and Harry. Part of his anger when he took Harry from them had been about wanting that He and Remus were brothers though and Harry was his nephew, he could not have a family by stealing it from Severus. He would also not have one from dating air headed bimbos; he needed to be more serious. Lee may not be his future, but she was a start.

Harry and Remus were only too happy to help him prepared, but he turned down aid from Severus. Severus reminded him if Sirius married he would move out, and Severus would be rid of him. Sirius knew he was joking, while he was right about moving out Severus knew Sirius would always be a reality. Harry had long moved past his initial fear of the man, and they had been growing a lot closer. Even he and Sirius had been getting along, though Severus was reminded of being a teacher again.

Sirius was amazed when he saw Lee coming his way. “You look amazing.”

Lee smiled and accepted the wild flowers Harry had picked for her. “Thank you.”

He was reminded he had only seen her once away from school, and she had looked quite pretty in muggle casual clothes then. He had told her they would be going muggle and she was dressed in a lovely curve emphasizing black dress. She had been easy on the eyes in school robes, but she could take his breath away now. He had always thought teachers were old or ugly; he had never had a teacher like her in school.

She smiled when she noticed the flowers still had roots.”Should I be worried you are taking me for fast food.”

Sirius shook his head. “My nephew picked them; he reminded me a beautiful woman deserved beautiful flowers.”

He had been prepared to head to the florist as he was not sure about this, but Harry had been so proud of the bouquet .His papa had been teaching him about the different plants in they garden, and the veela and Alberi taught him about the woods. Lee assured him she more than approved as she actually found it cute. The first time she had seen him had been playing with his nephew before dinner, and it had been endearing.

When the flowers were sent off with an elf to the school, Sirius apparated them to Paris. He had wanted to come up with something special, and not just because of his words before. He admitted he didn’t want to give her more ammunition, he wanted to show her that he could be grown up and charming.

She smiled when she saw the nice bistro he brought her to. “Trying to avoid memories from last time?”

He shook his head as they were led to a table. “I thought one of you was enough. I didn’t think I could face your brother in law’s third degree.”

Laughing she assured him Paul was very smart but he was a gentle soul, though when it came to her he could be protective. Paul had only a father, his mother had died a year before her brother but he did not speak to the man. Even in their world where it was so common, his dad been homophobic. Lee with a bit of coaxing told him about her parents who died in the early war, her and her brother were British Unlike Ian they had come to France as kids, she was six and her brother was ten. Their Uncle had been their grandfather’s bachelor older brother, and taught history at Beauxbautons. He did his best but he knew little of raisin kids, and since they lived at school, her brother was there for her. Her Uncle died when she was nineteen, leaving her and her brother alone. Sirius told her a bit f his own brothers, both the marauders and his own brother. He had never quite moved past the guilt of leaving his brother, blaming himself for him taking the mark.

As their food arrived she decided to lighten the mood.”So Ian told me you are working for a prank shop. I thought prank shop owners were meant to be funny.”

Sirius smirked at her.”My nephew and his honorary brothers own it; I will simply run the Paris shop when they own it. Besides I am funny.”

She was laughing, but more at the image he worked for his not even six year old nephew. Sirius explained the accident, people back home knew of it from the papers but not here. She could admit some of his stories about school were quite amusing, but Sirius seemed to be a class clown.

She cocked her head.”How did a class clown who his two best friends seemed to come up with the ideas, become an auror? I would have thought you’d flunk.”

Sirius smirked.”This is the second time you have questioned my skill. I think we may have to have a duel to shut you up once and for all.”

She put on an innocent look and asked him if he would really take on a defenceless little girl. He told her she was as defenceless as a pit viper, if she was quick with her wand as she was with her tongue. He didn’t mention the woman like Bella who had been on the other side, but his cousin Tonks could more than hold her own. When she heard how Tonks had pranked Sirius ever since she was little, Lee decided she might like this cousin.

Back at school Lee stopped him before he kissed her. “I don’t kiss on a first date. And if you want to have the kiss, you will have to be proper, and face my family.”

Sirius had been sure after tonight he would have her off his mind but he was wrong. “Then choose an evening and I would be happy to take you to dinner at his place.”

As he left he knew Remus would be all over this, both he and Ian would tell him they told him so. He didn’t mind though, when she was not constantly bating him she was so charming. She had kept him on his toes through the date and he would be looking forward to their next.”

He ignored Remus’ smug look over breakfast the next day, and turned to Harry.”I was to tell you how much she loved your flowers. And to say thank you.”

Severus and Remus were heading away for a few days, and not taking their son with them. Harry could have come with them but it would have been boring. Severus had a potions conference in the US to attend, and Remus was meeting with a publisher. Sirius and Lee had been on three dates now, and it had taken till the third one for a kiss. He had never had to work so hard for a kiss including a run down from Paul, but he could admit it was worth it. He was taking Harry home to the UK though, not that Harry would not stay alone with him like before but Harry wanted a trip. If his dads were away, he wanted a trip. Sirius had some business with the twins anyway.

Harry was working on his math at the front counter of the shop, while Sirius an the twins spoke about a new store It seemed that the trial with Sirius had worked better than expected and they were looking for a new shop location in Paris. They hoped to have it opened by the end of the summer. Harry could have been in the back but he would rather be out here seeing all the customers, not listening to adult talk. Lee Jordan was in the shop for the day, and was happy to keep an eye on Harry as he worked.

Lee was amazed when Harry did the math in his head for a customer.”Wow, who needs a till spell.”

Harry beamed when he heard the praise.”Daddy says when I start school in the fall, I will be ahead of my friends.”

Remus wondered with every passing month how much better Harry would have done at Hogwarts if he had been nurtured when he was little. He was reminded by his husband they would find out first hand, as Harry would be back at Hogwarts in five years. They were sure he would have competed with Draco and Hermione.

Lee had gone to check on a customer and Harry was working on some papers when a voice cut through. “You look to young to work here.’

Harry looked up from where he was working on his math. “My brothers own the shop. I visit them.”

There was something about the man Harry didn’t like at all, the eyes sent shivers up and down his back. The man was not as old as his dads but older than the twins, and he didn’t think he had ever met him before, but he didn’t like him at all. Harry looked and saw Lee was not far, and his Uncle and the twins were just in the back. He knew he was being silly, no one would hurt him here. He was simply wary around strange people.

The man remained close to him, “you have your mother’s eyes you know? How would you like to visit her?”

Harry was starting to feel scared “My mummy in heaven with the angels, Daddy and Papa told me..”

Fred took that moment to come out front, and he headed for Harry. He knew Lee had been out there, but he didn’t like odd people talking to Harry. The man slipped away before Fred came too close, and he did not have much of a look at the man. He was worried as Harry looked pale but Harry would not tell him what was wrong He knew he could be over reacting, Harry did have a hard time with new adults of the human variety

Harry could not forget the man, and he woke up from a bad dream that night of Albus. He wanted his dads but since they were not there, he looked at the other doors. He settled on Uncle Luc and Aunt Cissy, and he crept into their room. He was scared to wake them, but was reminded they had raised a little boy before.

Harry reached up and shook his Uncle’s arm “Uncle Luc?”

Lucius came around and it took a few moments for him to see Harry. “Did you have a bad dream?”

Harry allowed himself to be picked up and put into bed with them, but was worried as he had woken them both. Narcissa assured Harry though it had been years since Draco had crawled into bed with them after a bad dream, they were happy for him to. Harry told them about the dream but also about the odd man in town. They settled him down but when he was asleep, they shared a look across the little boy.

Lucius assured his wife “We know he is dead and he had no children. Harry just had a bad dream He will be okay.”

Narcissa kissed her husband and looked down at Harry.”I know but after Albus I worry. Having Harry around reminds me of when Draco was this small.”

The couple had missed out on a lot with their son due to the war, but they had a lot of special moments. They would have had more than one if not for the war, but even if the men were having a child at their age, the couple would not. They would help with Harry and look forward to grandkids, and enjoy each other.

Harry was happy to return back to France, actually extremely anxious to head home. Harry had not told them about the man or the bad dreams, spent two nights with his Aunt and Uncle. Harry told his dads he just wanted to be home to see his friends and his colt, but they had a feeling it was more..The Malfoys had not wanted to worry them and Sirius had no idea about it, and the couple were left to wonder. Harry seemed much happier at home, especially when he went to visit Handsome, which was the name he gave his colt. He was anxious for him to be old enough to ride, he liked Twitcher but he was a bit slow for him..

Remus and Severus were so happy when it came time for their sonogram. Harry was a bit disappointed they could not see the baby get, or find out the sex either. He was anxious to know if it was a brother or sister, but he was happy to come with them. He thought it was cool to hear the heart beat.

Harry was up on the bed with his Papa for the test. “Papa what that sound?”

Severus smiled.”That is your little sister or brother’s heart beat.”

Harry was mesmerized by the sound though his dads were not much better. Sirius had come with them before he was to take Lee to a movie, and he was amazed with the men. He could only imagine what they would be like for an ultrasound, or when the baby came. The healer assured them that their baby was developing nicely, and made an appointment for them to have an ultrasound. Magic was advanced in medicine, but they would still have to wait till the end of the first trimester.

Back home alone with just his dads Harry was scoped up by Remus.”Was that pretty cool little man?”

Harry nodded.”I guess but I want to see the baby.”

Laughing his dads reminded him he just needed to be patient, and they would know soon enough. They were not as crazy as Narcissa was, but they looked forward to shopping for the baby and making a nursery as well. Even without Harry, there was no doubt they would have found out the sex when they could.

Harry’s next words stunned them.”Daddy how did baby get in Papa’s belly, where did it come from?”
