Harry was happily humming in the kitchen while cooking a special dinner. Tonight they were celebrating.. Finally it was official, Severus Snape and Bill Weasley were his dads. He was shocked when he woke earlier and Edward had told him what had went down. At first he was a bit upset that they had put him to sleep and went without him, but after calming down, he was glad that they did. Amos Diggory was the last person that he ever wanted to see again. If he would have went, then Leora would have had to gone too, and he didn't want that pervert anywhere near his sweet princess.

"Harry dear, is there anything I can help you with?" asked a beaming Mrs Diggory. She was sitting at the table admiring her beautiful granddaughter, who was sleeping peacefully in her arms. She couldn't believe how her life had changed in just a few short hours. She went from being a lonely, grieving mother, soon to be divorcee; to a happy, smiling mother and grandmother. She was still going to divorce her husband, but now she had her son, granddaughter and son-in-law. She's was also gaining an extended family with Severus, Bill, the twins, the Cullen's and even grumpy Alastor Moody was growing on her. She was beyond thrilled when they offered her a home with them. She had already planned on moving after the divorce, but now she wouldn't be alone. She was going to be taking the room on the third floor next to Alastor's.

"Thank you mam, but I have everything under control. You just sit there and enjoy staring at your amazing granddaughter." giggled Harry.

"Please Harry, call me Anna." Anna looked down at her granddaughter. "She is truly beautiful." Anna just wasn't saying that because Leora was her granddaughter. No, the child really was stunning. Her eyes had a way a captivating you. She had never seen eyes like hers before. The baby was the perfect combination of both her parents.

Harry smiled at Anna then turned back to the dinner. Tonight they were having turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, gravy, homemade biscuits, and string beans. For desert he was making a white chocolate cheesecake. He felt bad that his husband wouldn't be able to enjoy it, but at least he would be celebrating with them. Severus was supplying animal blood for them so they wouldn't be just sitting there watching everyone else eat. It was also nice having someone that could hold and entertain Leora while he was eating.

Without taking his eyes off the potato's he was mashing, his hand shot out and grabbed a pale freckled one that was snaking its way towards his fresh, out of the oven, still steaming, biscuits.

"Damn your seeker reflexes." grumbled Fred.

"Told you that he would catch you." teased George. "You owe me five galleons."

Harry giggled. "Dinner will be ready in about thirty minutes, we are just waiting on Edward and his family to get back from hunting. You can wait a little longer."

"But Haaaaaary." whined Fred. "I'm wasting away here." Fred pulled up his shirt to show off his well toned chest and stomach.

Harry got up on his toes and kissed Fred on the cheek. "How can I say no to a face like that? I can't have my poor brother wasting away to nothing." he giggled. Reaching over, he grabbed a biscuit and spread some butter on it. "Don't tell anyone else, this is our secret."

Fred mimed zipping his lips, then stuffed the buttery biscuit into his mouth. "Damn Harry, you make the best food." moaned Fred. He was going to say that his cooking was better then his mom's, but he knew that his family was still a sore subject for Harry. He didn't blame him, he didn't want to think about his family either. At least he still had George, Bill and Charlie.

Harry blushed at the compliment, he really did love to cook. "When will your boyfriend get here?" he asked.

"Yeah Fredrick, when will we get to meet your wolf boy?" asked George. Since meeting his mate, Fred had gone on and on about him. He was thrilled that Fred had met someone that was made just for him. He knew that Fred had been hurting over Harry.
