Ok so I know I already did a story like this but I wanted to redo this one in a different setting and make sure I did it justice, I will be leaving the other one up, but this one will be better.

Harry was sitting on the sofa in his flat that he shared with Draco. They had bought the flat shortly after getting married about three years ago. It had been that long since Harry or Draco had seen their friends. Trying to lay low after the war was not an easy task. Dumbledore(who isn't dead) had been helping Harry and Draco complete Auror training. Dumbledore had kept them both out of the news cycle, many people thought that both of them were dead, or ran away after the war, including their friends. Both men were given updates through their old headmaster or would sneak the prophet in once and a while.

Harry sat on the sofa for a long time, thinking of what he would say to everyone once he saw them again, after all, tomorrow was the big day, he would be seeing them again. Right before graduation from the academy. The anxiety was messing with his head, he would get to see the Weasley's again, his only family besides Draco. He wondered what he had missed, if Ron and Hermione were still together. His thought were interrupted by Draco coming through the door.

"Hey love, I'm back from the shops" Draco said, setting bags down on the counter.

"Hi" Harry replied

"What's wrong?" Draco asked, looking at Harry's worried face.

"Its just that, its been three years since I have seen Ron or Hermione, what will they think when they see me?" Harry asked

"They will see a grown up version of the Harry they missed, the only difference is you are much wiser." Draco replied, placing a kiss of Harry's forehead

"I guess they probably have missed me, its been over three years." Harry said

"I'm sure they have, now, lets go make dinner and get to bed, tomorrow is the big day." Draco reminded while gently grasping Harry's hands and pulling him up from the couch.

Harry willingly went along with the blonde. Since the cooking lessons were still in progress, Draco had to be supervised. Luckily that night nothing was burned and no one got hurt, despite the occasionally foul word from either male. They ate dinner and talked about their day. Everything was calm for Harry and it wasn't till they were laying in bed that Harry remembered an important fact that would surprise everyone. He was MARRIED!AND TO DRACO! The panic increased as his dread and internal voice told him it would all go wrong. Sleep was not something that Harry got any of that night, laying in bed thinking was all he did.

It was eight am when Dumbledore came to collect Harry and Draco. Harry was practically shaking while Draco tried to comfort him. The three arrived at the ministry in a private room, they appeared to be the first ones there. Dumbledore had disappeared through a door to go find some calming draught for Harry. In the meantime Draco held his husband tightly whispering encouragement and happy things. When the white bearded wizard returned he handed Harry a vile with a liquid that was a beautiful lilac color, Harry gratefully drank it and was instantly more calm.

"Perhaps today you two should just focus on graduation and being reunited with friends, instead of other factors." Dumbledore spoke

"We can always tell them another time, I'm sure that enough will be going on today. " Draco assured. 

"I think it would be a wise idea to not tell them today." Harry said finally

"Oh and I have forgotten to tell the both of you that you are the tops of your class, you will be recieving special recognition during the ceremony." Dumbledore smiled as he left the room
