  "Well I best be on my way" Lupin says sighing "You weave?" Harry makes a pouty face that truly makes my heart ache "Sorry Harry, I wish I could stay longer but I have to go do some work" Remus responds with a sad smile "Otay..." Harry says burying his face into my neck. "I'll see you all in class on Monday" Remus says before walking away. "Hey, listen bud-" Harry looks up at me. "How about we go play? I know someone that would like to play with you" I say with a smile hoping that would make Harry happy again. "Who?" He says a smile starting to pull at his lips. "It's a surprise" I say lowering my voice to a whisper. That gets him more excited.

        He starts saying random names hoping one would be correct as I walk quickly through the halls, carrying Harry. Hermione walks with me smiling towards Harry. "Awe we gonna pway wit Pansy?" I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know angel, I guess you'll have to wait and see" He pouts and starts to think again. "Auntie 'Mione?" I give him a strange look. "Auntie?" I ask turning towards Hermione. "I told him that I could help take care of him until he gets a daddy but he has you now, so..." She smiles brightly. I shrug my shoulders at Harry again. "I don't know baby boy" He huffs at that and crosses his arms, avoiding eye contact with me.

          We reach the Slytherin dorms where I give the password; tick tock croc. Yes I know, childish. But of course we had to make it PG for Neville, not to mention something he can say. He seemed to like it.

        We walk inside where I sit Harry down on the couch. Hermione sits next to him, crossing her legs. "Why don't you play with your stuffie on the couch while daddy goes and gets you a soft blanket with more room to play on the floor" I kiss his cheek and ruffle his hair. I walk upstairs grabbing the softest blanket I can find as well as some of Neville's toys from Blaise's room. I walk back downstairs and set everything up before picking Harry up and setting him down on the blanket.

        "Now can you tell me daddy?" Harry asks me with puppy eyes so big they could compete with Neville's. I couldn't tell him no. "Well baby boy, Neville is coming to play in a little bit." I see Harry's eyes light up at the mention of playing with someone, he's practically jumping out of his seat with excitement. "Okay, baby boy, calm down" I chuckle while Hermione lets a smile form on her lips. Harry's smile is still bright but his body now seems more calm.

        I suddenly hear the door to the common room opening and I see Blaise and Neville walk in. "Hey guys" I say towards them. They walk closer, Blaise holding Neville's hand. "Hey Draco, Hermione." Blaise leans down to Harry's height as he sits on the floor. "Hi there little guy!" He says with a smile. Harry giggles at him. "Unc'a Bwaise!" Hermione lets out a faint 'aw' followed by a small laugh. I smile whole-heartedly at Harry. He's such an angel. "Hey Neville, how are you little man" Neville just hides behind Blaise shyly. "Sorry, he's just never been around Harry before while in littlespace" Blaise states. Harry disregards this statement and stands up before toddling over to Neville, greeting him with a big smile.
