Chapter 4: Harry's Birthday Part 1

Sirius was sitting beside his pup's bed waiting for him to wake up after his agonising inheritance. Remus had wanted him to come down and have some coffee and breakfast but he refused, he was not moving from this spot until he saw with his own eyes that Harry was ok and even then he would be checking again until he was absolutely certain that his pup was alright, obsessively some might say but Sirius didn't care after the years that his sweet little godson had to go through he deserved to be fussed over and then some. That was why when a tapping sounded on the window occurred Sirius never got up from his chair no matter that he was in shock at seeing his cousin, Narcissa's owl at the window he refused to get up from his chair in case something happened to Harry while his back was turned.

"Really Sirius," Remus sighed as he entered the room carrying two cups of coffee, no matter what he said to Sirius about coming down and having some breakfast he couldn't be away from his cub for too long either. "I know your worried about Harry I am as well but you could have at least let the owl in and see what the letter says and who it's from." Remus sighed shaking his head at his husband as he went to let the owl in. "I know whose it from. I recognise the owl, it's Narcissa's owl Merlin knows what she wants and I didn't want to leave Harry's side until he woke up and I know for sure that he's alright." Sirius answered Remus as he ran his hand soothingly through Harry's hair.

"Oh," Remus said in shock as he read over the letter after giving the owl some water and an owl treat. "What?" Sirius asked as he turned to look at his husband whose soft brown eyes were slowly bleeding into Amber. "Remus what is it? What does Narcissa want?" Sirius was confused and slightly angry at what Narcissa could have said that would make Remus's eyes slowly turn to Amber. Remus looked up at Sirius and took a deep breath to calm himself down but his eyes stayed a mixed colour of soft brown and Amber clearing his throat Remus read the letter out to Sirius.

"Dear Sirius,

How are you cousin? Now before you burn this letter please listen to what I have to say. I know we have not spoken since our teens but you have always been my favourite in our family aside from Andy. And I know you are now checking this letter for anything offensive but I can assure you cousin that there is in this letter that could harm you, your husband or Harry but I understand why you are checking as I would do the same.

Now the reason for me writing this letter is because my Draco has come into his veela inheritance and he has also realised that Harry is his mate. I was wondering if you, Remus and Harry could come over later to discuss things as Draco said that Harry was in pain last night and before you say anything Sirius I am not insinuating that you are hurting Harry as I know how much you care for him Draco and I are just concerned and I would like the chance to get to know my cousin again.

Don't take too long replying now Sirius I know how you can be.

Narcissa x"
Remus looked back at Sirius who looked just as angry as he felt.

It wasn't the fact that Narcissa had written to them as they had been friends in school, it was the fact that Harry had already found a mate when he was so young he has only just turned sixteen for Merlins sake but Remus was always the rational one and decided to let Draco have a chance with Harry, I mean who were they to keep mates from each other but Remus would make sure that Draco had good intentions for his Cub before he let things go any further. He was brought out of his thoughts as the chair Sirius was sitting on made a crash as it hit the floor as his jumped up and started pacing.

"Sirius calm down," but before he could continue Sirius interrupted him. "Calm down!! Calm down!! How can I calm down Remus? Our little pup has already found his mate and you expect me to calm down!! Our pup his sixteen Remus!! He's too young to have a boyfriend let alone a mate!! Draco will only want one thing from our Harry and I will not allow him to deflower my pup not now, not ever!!" Sirius raged but before he could continue Remus rested his hands on his husband's shoulders stopping his pacing. "Yes Sirius I expect you to calm down otherwise you'll wake Harry when he is resting from his inheritance.

And you are not the only one worried about Harry I am too Sirius. But we have no right to stop Harry from being with Draco, Harry told us that he'd had feelings for Draco prior to this but was too scared to act on them. But we now know Draco is Harry's dominate mate and all we can do is to make sure that he doesn't take advantage of our Cub by setting up rules that he has to abide by if he ever wants to be with our Cub, but we will give him a chance Sirius." Remus said the last sternly as he knew what his husband would be thinking.

Sighing Sirius sat back down in his seat running his hands over his face and through his hair as he tried to regain control of his temper. "Your right Remus your always right. I just don't want him to take advantage of our little cub after all he's been through he deserves the chance to get to know is mate. You write the letter Remmy I'm likely to say something I'm likely to regret." Sirius said though they were interrupted as Harry started stirring on the bed. "Harry? Harry Cub are you alright?" Sirius asked worriedly as he ran his hand through Harry's hair soothingly.

"Dad? Papa?" Harry asked as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and marvelled at the fact that he didn't need his glasses anymore. "Were here Cub as we said we would be and your Inheritance went smoothly but you may feel some pain and discomfort for a while but I'll give you some potions once you've eaten some breakfast. Anyway happy birthday Cub we've got your presents downstairs, but we don't have to go down right away but there is some things we need to tell you." Remus answered as he sat on the other side of Harry's bed taking his hand much like he did last night. Harry nodded his head as he rested back against the pillows as he felt achy all over much like he would if he had caught the flu.

Sirius shot a look at his husband as if to say not yet as he leaned forward and kissed Harry's forehead. "Happy birthday pup. There is things we need to tell you but they can wait until you've had breakfast in bed, had your potions and then you can decide if you want to have a shower and get dressed first or open your presents." Sirius said as he called for Dobby to make Harry's favourite breakfast of pancakes with raspberries and golden syrup with some orange juice and Winky to get the potion bag that had Harry's potions in them.

"Thank you Dad, Papa this is the best birthday ever but can I have a shower first after breakfast and taking the potions as I feel all sticky?" Harry asked.
"Of course you can Cub you know you don't need to ask." Remus shook his head at his Cub as he kissed his forehead before sitting back in his chair and taking the potions off of Winky and thanked her and Dobby before they popped back out of the room.

"We want you to eat as much as you can Harry," Sirius told him sternly as he watched his son eat. "But I don't want you to make yourself sick just make sure that you eat as much as you can." Sirius said. Harry nodded and started to eat his breakfast. "What was it you wanted to tell me?" Harry asked after a few moments of companionable silence. "Well you know how you told us that you had feelings for Draco Malfoy and that you didn't know if he felt the same way about you." Remus started and when he saw Harry nod he continued.

"Well it appears he does have the same feelings for you as he is a dominant veela and he couldn't act on his feelings towards you in case you weren't his mate. But last night when you came into your inheritance Draco recognised you as his mate and this morning we got a letter from his mother, Narcissa asking us if it was convenient to come to Malfoy Manor later on today to discuss things with them such as Draco courting you, but if and only if you're comfortable with it Harry." Remus said watching Harry's reaction to this news as he slowly drank his orange juice.

Harry sat quietly as he thought of what had been said. He had never imagined that Draco would return his feelings for him and add into that that he was Draco's submissive mate, and that he had just come into his own inheritance and he was still coming to terms with that he could carry and give birth to his own children even though his dad and papa had told him a few weeks ago, it was still all a bit too much to take in all at once. "Harry don't over think it. Everything will be fine I promise and we won't be going to late this evening so we can do anything that you want us to do and once I've sent the letter back for Sirius, because you know how he can be," Remus said drawing the laugh out of his son that he was hoping for as Sirius exclaimed in indignation.

"Harry seriously though, and no Sirius don't even think about it." As Sirius opened his mouth with a grin on his face. "I'll do the letter later on but today is about you Cub now how about you go for a shower and we'll meet you downstairs in the living room." Remus suggested as he stood up and kissed Harry's head taking the tray with him as Harry entered the bathroom but not before hugging Remus and Sirius and getting a kiss off of Sirius. Smiling Remus and Sirius exited their son's bedroom with smiles on their faces as they swore to themselves that they would make this day all about their son.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sirius and Remus smiled happily as they watched as Harry excitedly open his presents but they were amused but also saddened as he slowly opened them even with his excitement he opened them with reverence as he didn't want to rip the paper. "Thank you Dad. Thank you Papa I love it." Harry exclaimed as he opened his present to find a full Quidditch Seeker outfit with a practice snitch, a full album of his parents with him and his dad and papa in them, some new clothes and his favourite sweets (Chocolate frogs like his papa) from Honey Dukes they had also gotten him some Muggle and Wizard books that he had wanted but didn't want to ask for.

From the twins he had gotten a big box of joke products from their store. From Hermione and Ron he had gotten a new broom service kit, and from Mr and Mrs Weasley he had got a new emerald green shirt whereas Bill and Charlie had gotten him black dragon hide trousers and boots respectively.
"Thank you Dad, Papa this is the best birthday I've had." Harry smiled as he gently placed his presents down and hugged his dad and papa with all his might.
"You don't need to thank us cub we wanted to get them for you and you more than deserve it. Now how about you go and put your things away and write a thank you letter to the Weasleys while Remus and I write back to Narcissa and then we'll do whatever ou want for the rest of the day." Sirius said as he hugged his son.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry watched nervously as he stood by the fore place watching as Sirius and Remus locked everything up, they were finally going over to Malfoy Manor and he was fiddling with the hem of his new shirt that Mrs Weasley had given him today. He'd decided he was going to wear his new clothes he'd gotten to make a good impression to not only Draco but also Draco's parents. He hoped they liked even if it was just for Draco's sake, he knew Lucius hated him but he didn't know about Mrs Malfoy his dad had told them she was a kind caring woman and one of his favourite cousins and that she'd love him but Harry wasn't convinced who would love a freak like him?

Harry jumped and flinched away when he felt hands on his shoulders. "Harry are you alright?" Sirius asked he and Remus had been calling Harry several times but didn't get a response he didn't know what had caused Harry to act like this but he could guess to what he was thinking about. He hated that he had caused Harry to flinch but he just didn't know how to draw Harry out of those thoughts he didn't mean or know he'd startle Harry that bad.

Sighing as he wanted nothing more than to pull Harry into his arms and never let go but he knew it wouldn't do any good. He hated that Harry flinch when he or Remus touched him and he seriously wanted to go Dursley hunting but he didn't want to cause his son any more pain then he would if he got caught and sent to Azkaban again or worse. Harry looked around him with wild fearful eyes but blushed in shame when he belatedly realised that the hands on his shoulders belonged to his dad. "I'm fine dad I promise," Harry smiled but even he knew that it was strained and looked forced. "Sorry for.....you know." Harry said awkwardly as looked apologetically at both his dad and papa.

"Don't worry about it Harry it was my fault and I apologise profusely I should of made myself know before touching you I just didn't want you thinking like that ok? Me and Remus love you so much Harry, you're our cub and we promise that we'd never let anything happen to you." Sirius said sincerely as he pulled Harry into his arms and kissed his forehead before Remus stole Harry from him and did the same as he did.

Smiling as Harry finally relaxed into Remus's arms Sirius hated that he had to break the companionable silence but they had to get going to his cousin's house even if he didn't want to. "I'm sorry kiddo but we have to get to Malfoy Manor now. But don't worry your flooing with Remus and he won't let you fall. I'll go first and then you and Remus can follow afterwards." Sirius said. He kissed both his husband and son before throwing Floo powder into the fire and stepped in shouting his destination as he knew his son would be safe with his husband.
