The next morning, I walk into the house to find Harry and Teddy in the living room.

Tiredly, I wave them a hello, before walking into the kitchen to get a glass of water.

As I start up the stairs, Teddy calls out "Draco!" I back up and he waves me over.

When I step up to him, he moves over and insists "Take a seat."

After placing my water down, I take a seat and Harry unmutes the television. We're silent for awhile, before Harry asks "How was your date?"

I glance down at Teddy, before declaring "There was some arguing, and something I will not explain, then I fell asleep."

Harry nods, before Teddy lays his head on Harry's lap. Teddy puts his feet in my lap.

About an hour of comfortable silence, Teddy snores, softly, as Harry messes with his hair.

After a moment, I ask "How did you feel, when you took Teddy in?"

He hums, before looking to me "At first, it was weird, having this screaming bundle waking me up every two hours." He looks down to Teddy and declares "But the instant I held him, I knew I would never let anyone hurt him."

He continues to play with Teddy's hair as he looks to me "Any wishes of starting a family?"

I take in a deep breath, before shrugging "I can't impregnate a woman, and I doubt I'll be to adopt."

He scoffs, before declaring "Hypothetically, would you start a family?"

I nod and he smiles, before asking "Planning of settling down with Thomas?"

I take in a thoughtful breath, before furrowing my brow and telling him "He knows more about me than a lot of people, and he's fairly adequate in bed."

He cocks an eyebrow to me and declares "I'm sensing a BUT, coming."

I sigh "But, he hates that I work so much." Harry nods and I explain "And he doesn't like the fact that I'm constantly tired."

Harry shrugs "Well, can you see living the rest of your life with him?"

I give a weak smile, before declaring "I don't see it."

He cocks an eyebrow to me and asks "Then why are you still with him?"

I shrug, before telling him "He's the only guy who hasn't wronged me." He furrows his brow and I tell him "I haven't hurt him, either."

He looks me over, about to say something, when Ginny walks through. She stops to give a wave, before whispering "Luna is here!"

Silently, Luna pokes her head in and asks "Can I speak to you for a moment, Draco?"

I nod, before picking up Teddy's feet and standing up. As I step into the hallway, she smiles "How was your night?"

I clear my throat, before declaring "Ultimately, uneventful. What do you need to talk about?"

She gives her usual upsided expression "Did you sleep with Neville?"

I press my lips into a fine line and look her over for any shred of anger. When I can't find one, I state "Once, way back in our fifth year."

She nods, before declaring "I knew Neville was into men, I never knew who the first man he slept with was."

I hum and she asks "Did you sleep with Dean Thomas and Oliver Wood, as well?" I nod.

After a moment, I ask "How did you know?"

Her lips curl up in a weird sense of amusement "Their auras read red in their heads and their groans." She looks me over "No doubt, they were remembering what they did, in your presence."

I give an embarrassed chuckle and she smiles, before I ask "How did you find out Neville was into men?"

She shrugs, before declaring "He told me. After a sweet, loving, scene, on a small island off the coast of Brazil."

I furrow my brow and hint "You seem rather alright with it?"

She nods with a smirk "Two bisexual people, in an open ended relationship! We opened doors for ourselves that, two this day, I'd never wish of shutting."

I cock an eyebrow to her and ask "You and Neville are still together?"

She shrugs and declares "It's more of a 'friends with benefits' type of thing. But if we become romantic, again, I wouldn't do anything differently."

I nod and she motions towards the living room "Did I disturb something?" I shake my head and she gives an unsure look, before Charlie steps into the house.

He smiles down at her and asks "Have you got your bags packed, Luna? I didn't expect you until tomorrow."

She smiles "I just came to ask Draco a question." She looks to me and explains "Charlie will be guiding Neville and I through Romania's Dragon country."

I furrow my brow and ask "Why is Neville going?"

Luna shrugs "Mushrooms that grow on dragon dung."

I hum, before asking Charlie "When are you going?"

He looks me over, before declaring "We leave tomorrow, for a month long venture. We'll be staying with my mate's babička, so... we'll come back: fat, horny, and sickened by meat."

I furrow my brow and ask "Is it because she's a conservative czechoslovakian grandmother?"

He nods, before declaring "She heads off to the market, early Saturday morning. If you wake up early enough, you can wank before the mule gets back."

I give an amused look, before looking to Luna "Enjoy."

She shrugs, before declaring "I can go a month without sex."

Charlie smirks to me "Yeah, Draco here is the sluttiest prude of them all, you know? Only ever kissed five people."

Luna looks to me and asks "Was one of them Neville?" I shake my head and she gives a confused look "He loves kissing."

I press my lips into a fine line and declare "Yeah, I have this weird thing about kissing."

Harry leans against the doorframe and explains the Luna "If he kisses someone, it becomes tender, and loving. If he doesn't, it'll remain a cheap, meaningless, lustful act that he writes off as filthy." When I look back to him, he looks to me fondly "In his mind, all he'll ever be, is filth. No matter how many times we tell him we love him."

I cock my eyebrow to him and ask "Discover that when you were spying on me, did you?"

He gives a weak smile, before declaring "You're so much better." He looks me over "You deserve so much better."

I furrow my brow at his sentiment, before starting towards the stairs and hissing "Shut up, Pottah!"
