Severus found Harry in the Owlery of all things petting Hedwig on her chest while she nipped his ear gently in a comforting manner like of like a mother running there fingers through the child's hair.

"Hadrian? can I talk to you?" he asked and saw the boy flinch slightly 'and it's back to that again I shouldn't of said what I said better yet not in that bloody manner!' he said to himself and he came more into the Owlery.

"Please son?"

"What do you want?" he sounded like he had been crying which was most likely true in his case.

"Oh Harry" he sighed and came over to the boy and sat next to him

"Admit it son I'm an idiot better yet a dunderhead that I always call students" this made Harry laugh slightly at it all.

"Yeah you kinda are" he lead his head on Severus' shoulder "a massive dunderhead".

"I'll take that as a some what compliment I suppose"

"Yeah"

"I came to find you to talk to you about everything and sadly even though you love it here I don't want to talk about everything here so... jump" he got up and gently helped Harry up as Hedwig flew up to her perch.

Harry followed him back and they meet up with Otiz who had been playing exploding snap with Draco at the bottom of the Owlery they followed him and Draco split off and headed to the common room while the others headed to Severus' quarters.

Tom was sitting there with a sleeping twin in each arm after they had cried themselves to sleep.

"I'll take them and put them to bed can you get tea Thomas for three?" asked Severus and Tom knew he was still in trouble.

Severus put the two to bed for their nap while harry sat down in his favourite chair waiting for both of his parents to come back.

Tom was first with the tray of drinks, Harry's was hot chocolate they swore that he was a Lupin in disguise with the whole chocolate thing when upset or hurt.

"Thanks papa" said Harry as he took his cup and he noticed that it was all of their favourite cups and had to laugh a little and wonder what the twins cups would be when they were older.

Severus soon came back and sat down taking his cup and took a sip, you put caramel syrup in mine trying to sweeten me up it seems" he looked at Tom and then sighed.

"Hadrian I'm sorry for what I said to you regarding Miss Bell I really am I shouldn't of said it like that I was just annoyed at a certain someone" turns to look at Tom who was kind of fighting with Nagini as she wanted to have the tea from his cup.

"Why?"

"Well because I was up brewing potions the a few days ago and went to bed late and I thought your papa would help look after the twins while I tried to sleep but he didn't and so I was up early with very little sleep and I was taking it out on his but then I turned my anger and frustration on you which I shouldn't of done at all Hadrian".

"So it's all papa's fault?"

"What's my fault?" asked Tom now that he had gotten Nagini out of his tea.

"So he's back with us then, he should of just let the snake have the drink he could of always made another" said Otiz as he ate a Battenberg.

"Shut up fox" said Tom only to have Otiz growl at him.

"Ok ok enough the pair of you!" said Severus.

Harry laughed at it all it was nice that they were having a bit of banter finally.

"As I was saying I'm not having a go at you Hadrian and I'm not honest to Merlin I'm not I'm just unhappy with your papa as he could of taken the twins for the day or got up with them during the night that's all".

"Oh ok then apology accepted dad" he got up kissed his forehead and walked out of the chambers with Otiz now in kit form and Severus turned to Tom making him pale slightly at the look his husband gave him.

"Well now the main problem is here" said Severus and he took a sip of his coffee.

"Sev I didn't mean it, you know I didn't!"

"I worked most of my bloody damn day off restocking the Hospital Wing due to dunderheads blowing up cauldrons left, right and centre due to the inability of Slughorn teaching it back from when you were at school! as well as the dunderheads of the Quidditch teams and their practicing that gets them hurt every five seconds and you couldn't be asked to get up in the middle of the night to feed you own children! you disgust me Thomas you really do".

"Sev I'm sorry I really am I didn't know honest!"

"You bloody did you even came to the lab to say goodnight with the twins and then two hours later you said you were going to bed plus you promised that you would do the night shift with them and you didn't!"

"Sevvie honest I'm sorry I thought you were following me but then I got into a really deep sleep and didn't hear them honest to Merlin I didn't will you forgive me?"

"Month's worth of my favourite chocolate, back and foot rubs will be a start of it all Thomas"

"Oh come on it was..." Severus gave him a heated glare daring him to say more "...again I am sorry I will go to Honeydukes tomorrow and get it for you and tonight it can be just me and you, the twins knew something was up and hated when I was near them they always cried murder, I'm sorry do you forgive me?"

"No but it's a start Tom it's a start" he got up and kissed him "remember I do love you even if you're a complete arse sometimes".

"Hey!"

"Admit it Tom you are a complete idiot and I even admitted it to Hadrian when I said some rather nasty things to him" said Severus as he waved his wand and the cups disappeared into the sink to be cleaned.

"Now as I don't have any marking or potion making to do now I'm going to have an hour nap and then spend time with my babies and then me and you after dinner will have some alone time when the children are in bed" and he walked to the bedroom and got into bed for the next hour.
