If it's not supposed to be, why does it feel right?

Part 20.

                         -Time skip 11 years later-

Regulus and James had been married happily for five years. They took the name Potter, because Regulus just wanted to escape the community he used to call his family, but now he had a real family. He had his husband, they had a house in diagon alley. They had an adoptive child. Who was already six, they adopted them three years ago.

James was an Auror. He worked much, but not as much as other Aurors. So he was gone early in the morning, and came back after midday, which was mostly the time Regulus had to leave. Regulus worked as a herbologie teacher in Hogwarts, but since herbologie wasn't a that important subject, he only had to work between 12 p.m.  and 4 p.m. which was practical, because he could spend the rest of his day, with James and Harry.

James job was dangerous sometimes and while Regulus was preparing for his classes or playing with their child he always worried about his husband. If anything would happen to James that would just hurt him, he would feel bad for a long time. And James wouldn't have the chance to live his passion, but if James would die on an important mission, what would Regulus tell Harry what happened to their dad when they would grow up.

Regulus tried to push these thoughts away and looked at his child. From the moment he looked into their eyes for the first time, he knew he would do anything for that kid. Harry was very good at learning and they could count to 20 by now. Regulus was very proud of everything the kid had done by now, and what they will do in the future.

Harry was sitting on the table at the clutch and drew something. "Look daddy! I drew something for you!", he shouted a few minutes later. Regulus walked over to his child and sat down next to them. "Look! That's me, that's you, daddy. And that is Papa.", Regulus smiled. He liked the was little Harry used different nicknames for their fathers. He looked at the paper Harry was holding in their adorable tiny hands, there were three little persons, holding hands. A little person, Harry, with wild curly hair, and sweet little glasses. On Harry's right was their one father, Regulus with his dark curls that were mostly very in place he was tall drawn and held his free arm up. On Harry's left, was their other father, James. With also wild curls and the same shaped glasses.

James and Harry looked very similar which was a coincidence but made things easier. Regulus looked at Harry and said, "that is such a lovely drawing, my dear. Let me hang it up.", Harry smiled proudly. Regulus stood up, and so did Harry. Harry took Regulus hand and led him into the kitchen. The two of them decided to hang up the picture on the refrigerator. "It's nearly as good as your drawings.", Harry said, looking up to their father, Regulus knelt in front of his child, "your drawing is amazing, Harry. It is very pretty. And we will keep it forever.", he placed a kiss on Harry's forehead and lifted the kid into his arms.

Harry giggled, "who wants cookies and milk?", Regulus asked, "oh me! Me! Me!", Harry screamed, "I'd join too.", a voice said from behind them, "Papa!", Harry shouted and ran towards their other father. "You're home early.", Regulus said, he walked towards his husband and kissed him. Then he took Harry again, and sat him at the kitchen table. "Yeah I figured that I would rather spend my weekend with my family, then with another mission.", Regulus smiled, "I'm happy you're here. Look at our check lids drawing. It's on the fridge.", James walked up to the fridge and looked at the picture that hung there.

"You drew that?", James asked Harry, they nodded, "that is one of the best drawings I've ever seen. We all look so happy and pretty.", Harry giggled, "oh deer grab the milk would you?", Regulus said. He loved making jokes about James' animagus, James giggled and placed the milk on the table, he walked up to Harry and tickled them. The kid was laughing and gasping for air, "Papa, stop!", they laughed, James kissed their forehead and nose and then placed another kiss on their hair. Then he sat down. Regulus put down a plate of cookies and gave each of them a glass of milk. The three of them enjoyed their cookies and milk, while Harry was telling some crazy story's he just imagined.

Later Sirius and Remus were supposed to come by. Sirius worked with James and Remus had been the DADA teacher at Hogwarts for a few years now. They  also married but had no kids. But they were huge fans of Harry, the kid was just so adorable. They came by every second week and the five of them always had a good time. Sometimes when Regulus had to go to work while James was still working, he could go to Remus or Sirius and they would take care for an hour or two.
