Harry and Draco exchange shell-shocked looks as Draco passes him a glass of wine and they go to sit on the sofa, both taking large gulps.
"I know he calls Molly and Narcissa "grandmother," Harry breathes, "but I still didn't expect..."
"No, this is...it feels big, for some reason."
"Dad," Harry says softly, solemnly. "He wants to call me Dad."
"Yeah. And me. Is that weird? Do we need, er, different names?"
"No, it's fine. I just didn't expect...I don't want to take anything away from Remus, you know. But if it's what he wants..."
"Harry," Draco speaks in a reassuring voice that comes out more gentle than even Draco himself has ever heard it before. "You're Teddy's godfather. Remus is gone, and I'm sure he'd love nothing more than for you to fill that role in his absence. You've been filling it for almost a year now, and you've always been a great father-figure to Teddy. It's not surprising he's been feeling a desire to make it more...official, in a way."
"You're better at it than I am," Harry chokes out, eyes wet.
"Well, that's why he wants to call me dad, too," Draco teases, lightly elbowing him in the ribs in an attempt to lighten the mood.
It works, and Harry lets out a shaky laugh. "So we say yes?"
"I think so, yeah."
They sit in silence for a little while, until curiosity and awkwardness prompts Draco to ask a question that he's been dying to ask for ages.
"Are those the same glasses you've been wearing since you were eleven?"
Harry looks over at him, a little startled. "Oh, yeah, I guess so."
"How do they still fit? Didn't your head, you know...grow? As you got older?"
"Yeah, Hermione adjusted them for me each year. The prescription, too. In fact, I should probably ask her to look at them again."
"Why not get new glasses? Or ask her to research a spell to fix your eyesight permanently? I'm sure they exist."
"Is this your way of telling me you hate my glasses?" Harry laughs.
"No! I mean, I do, but that wasn't what I was..."
Harry doubles over, laughing even harder.
