Harry woke up feeling quite refreshed after his goodnights rest. He tried to move but quickly became aware of his boyfriend's arms wrapped around him securely and his dog's head on his leg.

He smiled closing his eyes again sighing happily. Merlin sleeping with these two made him feel safe and protected from anything. Not like he couldn't do it himself but like Blaise had told him, it was fine to let others take care of you.

He felt his dog, Padfoot, stand up and heard its footsteps get away. He heard Blaise chuckle, "already awake?"

Harry nodded grabbing his glasses before turning to look at his boyfriend. They smiled softly at each other. Blaise pulled Harry's body closer, "we should probably get dressed."

Harry hummed in agreement sitting up, "how 'bout you shower and I'll make you breakfast? Don't want you to be late for work."

Blaise pouted cutely, all he wanted to do was stay home with his gorgeous boyfriend. Don't get him wrong, he loved his job but he also loved spending time with Harry.  Harry playfully rolled his eyes at his oh so dramatic boyfriend. Blaise sighed sitting up, "you know... Today is supposed to be a really nice day so I was thinking maybe we could go with the Weasleys on a picnic? You haven't seen them in a while."

Harry's eyes lit up, he really did want to visit the Weasleys and spend time with them. Blaise wrapped an arm around his waist laughing softly, "I'll send them a letter when I'm done showering."

Harry actually liked cooking when it was for and with Blaise. He enjoyed the way he could make his boyfriend's face light up with the dishes he made.

He really liked the scrambled egs with bacon and sausage that Harry prepared so that's what he was making. As well as charming a knife to help him with the fruit. Magic really made his life much simpler.

Blaise got showered and dressed and went down stairs. Padfoot gave him the newspaper, Blaise chuckled petting the dog.

"we're on the newspaper again." Blaise announced entering the kitchen.

Harry finished serving their breakfast and levitated the dishes to the table. "are we on the cover?"

Blaise nodded showing him the cover. Harry laughed, it was a picture of them outside a pub making out but what was funny to him was that they seemed to have focused too much on his gorgeous boyfriend squeezing his arse in his drunken state.

Blaise turned the newspaper towards himself again, "The chosen one likes it up the arse! Our sources tell us he was spotted outside a pub they frecuent on weekends with his boyfriend Blaise Zabini making out when Blaise began squeezing the chosen one's arse. This can only mean one thing, Harry Potter the all mighty Saviour of the World likes it up the arse." Blaise scanned the page and rolled his eyes," the rest is just hypothesis about our sex life and telling everyone that their bets are over. "

Harry chuckled grabbing some fruit for himself, "they must be a muggle born or someone hetero."

Blaise nodded in agreement setting a cushioning charm to his chair, "imagine them finding out you made it so I have to cushioning charms on all the chairs today."

Harry grinned, "hey you said you liked it."

Blaise shrugged, "I guess I did and I brought this on myself but I wouldn't change anything about it." he Tool a bite of his breakfast, "this is amazing by the way. It really tastes so good every time you cook."

Harry blushed, Blaise always complimented and credited Harry's hard work whenever he cooked. It was strange to get complimented instead of having his food thrown back to him but it was nice. "I'm glad you like it."

They finished their food just in time for Draco to come by to pick up his friend so they could go to their little shop. Both of them ran a potions shop that has rapidly grown in popularity since these potions seemed to be the best. Harry had given them the tips from the book he had back in seveth year in Hogwarts. Harry would sometimes help in the back with storing vials and opening packages but for the most part he stayed home.

Blaise kissed Harry goodbye and told padfoot to be good before leaving.

Harry waved at them goodbye as they left and then closed the door. He then decided to get ready himself to go to Hogwarts. McGonagall offered him a job as a flying professor. It wasn't super time consuming which Harry appreciated. 2 to 3 lessons a day and sometimes watching over the quidditch coaching.

He got something to do for when Blaise was away, he could bring padfoot along and he felt useful. It also helped his image since the kids stopped seeing him as the Saviour of the World and started seeing him as the goofy teacher.

His day wasn't too bad today, a kid almost fell off the broom for getting distracted but padfoot helped them calm down.

When he returned home he found Blaise putting together some food for the picnic. He knew Molly would help with some of the food and Blaise would bring the rest. "You're back early from the shop."

Blaise looked up smiling, "I see you didn't change from your teacher clothes profesor." they laughed. "Theo and Pansy had their day off so they helped and we finished early. I invited them to the picnic, hope you don't mind. It was actually Molly's idea. She said it would be a type of celebration of sorts. Don't know what that means."

Blaise walked over to Harry and gave him a soft kiss," go shower, you stink my darling. "

Harry kissed him again, "I'm going to ignore that comment because I love it when you say darling."

Blaise chuckled, "go shower."

Blaise finished putting everything in their endless basket right when Harry got out of the shower looking much more fresh. Blaise blushed, even after some years together catching his boyfriend shirtless made his heart beat faster. Goodness this man was handsome. Harry turned around as he put on his shirt and gave him a lopsided smile, "I'm ready."

"so am I. I'm just going to put the leash on pads and we can go."

Blaise left again putting the leash in their dog. This had to be perfect, he took a deep breath.

When they got to the picnic site Harry was immediately engulfed in a big hug by Ron. Harry hugged him back equally as tight, "You're here?! Merlin I'm so glad you're fine."

Ron chuckled, "come on, it was just one mission. We've done more dangerous things than that." Harry shook his head laughing. Ron grinned, "I'm also glad to see you mate."

Harry smiled looking around. His boyfriend was already with Molly helping her out with setting everything. Ron bumped him lightly, "I'm very happy for you mate. He's really something else isn't he?"

Harry nodded blushing, "never thought I would be this happy with someone. Not even the daily prophet can ruin it."

They shared a soft laugh.

Soon everyone else started arriving. Harry was happy to be able to see everyone there. He was laughing and talking and having fun. The food was delicious, he loved every bite of everything he was given. It was light and fresh which he appreciated.

Padfoot also seemed to be having fun, running around occasionally but mostly staying near Harry.

After they all finished eating Ron called Blaise over and they went to talk away from everyone.

Harry continued talking with Hermione about her wedding plans, both were very excited about her and Ron's wedding. As Hermione was showing him some options for the food Ron and Blaise came back.

Molly smiled shifting in her seat as Ron sat down next to Hermione. Harry turned to look at Blaise smiling softly, "are you alright Blaise?"

Blaise nodded extending his hand out for Harry. Harry stood up confused about what was happening.

"Harry, my life with you by my side has been amazing. We've been through ups and downs but we've gone through then together. I really did mean what I said back at Hogwarts, about wanting to treat you like the prince you are because you deserve it. About how amazing and wonderful you are, not for the silly titles but because that's just you. I don't know what our future holds but I do know for a fact that I want you in my life forever."

Harry gasped as Blaise got down on one knee. Blaise took a shaky breath, "would you like to marry me?"

Harry screamed a yes whilst he also got out a ring he was planning on proposing with to Blaise. They let out shaky laughs as they slipped each other's rings on. He pulled Blaise in for a soft loving kiss only noticing the cheers after they parted looking at each others eyes.

Everyone congratulated the couple, excited about their future together. Harry grinned at his future husband, "You're brilliant."

Blaise kissed the top of his head, "so are you."

That night they stumbled into their bed still giggling with excitement. The Quibbler was going to write the story first with exclusive pictures. Both of them were happy to make the daily prophet mad and at the same time help their friend.

Blaise placed his head on Harry's chest before their dog could steal his favorite place. He kissed his lover's jaw softly, "we have a lot to plan and think about."

Harry hummed in agreement, "let's think tomorrow. Its been a long crazy day, I just want to hold you right now."

Harry wrapped his arms around his significant other and sighed happily. Blaise placed his head back on his chest closing his eyes.

Their dog climbed into the bed with them curling up against Harry's leg.

Harry chuckled softly. He was happy with this. He liked this and for the first time in his life he felt ready and excited about everything that was about to come.
