Harriet Lily Potter- Of Parents and Dinners

Author- sythenclaw

One-shot Summary- Draco and Harriet host a dinner for her parents and humiliation ensues.

Notes- Lily and James live AU. Post-Hogwarts.

Draco stood leaning against the door frame of the kitchen, watching as his girlfriend bustled about, preparing the food for the dinner they were hosting for her parents.

Harry wore black skinny jeans that hugged her legs and arse in all the right places, and a tight, maroon, long-sleeved shirt that clung to her almost as if it were a new skin. Her long, black hair cascaded down her back in loose waves and it swung gracefully as she moved about the room.

Draco pushed off from the door frame and made his was towards her, looping his arms around her waist and pulling her flush against his chest, marvelling in the feeling of how her body complemented his perfectly.

Harry chuckled and tried to release herself from his grip, but he just tightened his hold on her and nuzzled her neck.

"Draco! I need to finish getting everything ready! Mum and dad will be here soon." She tried to get him to relent his possessive grip of her, but it was of no use.

He began to rock them side to side, all the while pressing soft kisses against her neck.

"Keyword: soon. Not now."

Harry laughed at his antics and began to try to get him to let her go once more, when a knock sounded at the door of their apartment.

"Prongslet! We're here!"

James' loud exclamation was followed by admonishing comments from Lily about how he should "give them a second to hear the knock first" and "you'll get us kicked out of the apartment building if you continue to yell like that".

Draco chuckled and gave Harry one last lingering kiss on the neck before he straightened up from where his face was buried in the crook of her shoulder and started to make his way through their apartment to let her parents in.

Harry followed seconds later when she could hear the loud voice of her father greeting her boyfriend.

"Draco," James' voice boomed. "Good to see you, mate! How are you?"

Her boyfriend was pulled into a big bear hug and after several thumps on the back was released.

"I'm fine, other than being driven up the wall by this one." Draco pointed over his shoulder with his thumb to Harry.

"Ah, I know the feeling."

Rolling her eyes at the two men, Harry turned to her mum and gave her a hug.

"Hey mum."

"Sweetheart, you look great. You must tell me where you got those boots from, they're absolutely gorgeous!"

As she and her mother caught up, James and Draco retreated to the sitting room to discuss things that they understood.

After a while, Lily joined them as Harry went to the kitchen to finish the preparation of the meal. She finished off cutting the vegetables and put them in to cook, as well as checking the roast chicken in the oven, then moving into the dining room to set the table, grumbling all the while about the unfairness of how Draco never did anything to help.

Once she was done around ten minutes later, she walked into the living room to find her parents and boyfriend laughing together over a story James was telling.

"You should've seen the way she would talk to this guy! One second I was asking her something, the next she was turning to Mr Bucky to see what he thought about the question!"

Harry recognised the name and perked up as she entered the room and sat down next to Draco on the large, grey couch.

"What's this about Mr Bucky?"

The others only then noticed her appearance and all turned to her. Lily's eyes were twinkling with tears of mirth, James had a smug smile on his face, and Draco was sporting the biggest shit-eating grin Harry had ever seen.

"It's nothing, love. Your dad was just telling me about you as a child."

Narrowing her eyes, Harry turned to her father, only to find him choking back his laughter.

"Dad," Harry started, using her most authoritative tone, "What have you told him?"

Struggling to rein in his laughter, James croaked out, "Not too much, only about your imaginary friend, Mr Bucky. Oh, and how you never used to like washing because you didn't like the way you felt naked. And-"

"Dad!" Harry interrupted, mortified. "Why did you tell him that? He's going to use that knowledge against me, I hope you're aware." Draco grinned at her words nodded his confirmation that yes, he would blackmail her with his newfound information. "By the way dad, don't pretend that you weren't thankful for my less than regular bathing, you were scared of my lady bits. Mum told me." Harry leaned back against the couch, crossing her arms over her chest and shooting her father a self-satisfied smirk.

"Harriet Lily Potter! I'll have you know that I am not scared of the female anatomy, in fact, I'm rather fond it." James said, waggling his eyebrows at Lily, who blushed while her black haired daughter pretended to gag. "It's just that your bits were so small."

"How about we discuss other things, rather than my girlfriend's private parts, shall we?" Draco disrupted the conversation, growing more and more uncomfortable with the way the conversation was heading. "I've always known the Potters to be strange, and I'm growing used to it, but I'm not sure I'm quite ready to engage in this discussion just yet."

"You'll have to adjust, Draco," Lily smiled at the blond. "One day you'll be my son-in-law, and you'll be subjected to these sorts of thing all the time. Oh! On the topic of marriage, are you planning on proposing any time soon?"

Harry growled at her mother, shooting her a warning glare, but Lily continued to chat on about who she thought should be invited to the wedding, what the venue would look like, and how it would be held.

"Mum! We're only eighteen! We've just graduated from Hogwarts! There will be heaps of time to decide on this stuff when the time comes." Harry tried to calm her mother, shooting her boyfriend an apologetic look, only to have him smirk back at her.

"Nonsense, not if I want grandkids soon!" Lily shot back, continuing with her planning. James chuckled fondly at her, while Harry shifted and laid back against Draco's chest, bracing herself for a while as they listened to her mother talk.

After dinner was over, Harry showered and washed her makeup off, then hopped into bed and waited for Draco, who was performing his nightly hair ritual to ensure that it stayed soft.

"Him and his bloody hair." She grumbled, squirming in their big, comfortable bed trying to get warm. It proved to be a hard task as she was used to her blond boyfriend's heat, and found it hard to sleep without being snuggled up to him.

As she waited, she thought over the dinner with her parents that night. After dropping the subject of weddings, they digressed to topics like work, friends and then to Remus' one year old, Teddy. Harry and Lily talked for a while about him and babies in general, while Draco and James talked about Merlin knows what. By the time the gathering was over, James left quite intoxicated and had to be dragged out the door by Lily, all while shouting obscenities.

After finishing with his hair care, Draco joined the black haired teen in bed and lay down, allowing his chest to become a pillow for her head. He stroked her hair with one hand, while using the other to cover his mouth as he yawned.

"No shagging tonight I'm afraid, I'm too tired." He acted put out as she chuckled.

"S'ok with me, I'm surprised I could walk today, what with the way you pounded me last night."

The blond smirked smugly and nuzzled into her hair, smelling the fresh scent. Harry scowled and smacked his chest.

"I could sense your smirk, you bastard." Her words caused him to laugh, her head bouncing along with his chest.

"G'night love." His laughter died down as he flicked his wand to turn the lights off.

"Night." Harry yawned and snuggled into his bare chest, filled with contentment and love for her family.
