the next morning
At around 2am Harry woke up thirsty, so he stood up slowly to not wake up Draco who was sleeping peacefully next to him. He stood up making the bed creak slightly, he walked quietly to the door opening it and walking out the room. He walked down the stairs to go and get a drink as he walked into the kitchen he saw Sirius leaning against the counter drinking tea.
“What are you doing up?” Sirius asked harry. “Getting a drink, what about you?” Harry asked. “I couldn't sleep, so I just came down here.” Sirius told him. Harry got his drink and they sat down at the table. “How are you doing now after today?” Sirius asked him. “I'm alright, i mean my dad being back is a lot to process especially when i thought he was dead most of my life. But other than that I'm fine.” “yeah, it was a lot seeing James and Regulus back now. But it's really good to see them now.” Sirius agreed.
They both finished their drinks in a comfortable silence then got up and went back up to bed.
The next morning Harry woke up around 7am. He got up and changed into some jeans and a hoodie because he had no plan of doing anything that day. He left Draco who was still asleep and went downstairs to get some breakfast. He walked into the kitchen where he saw James standing drinking a coffee.
“Morning.” James said. “Morning.” Harry replied, taking a cup out of the cupboard and himself some coffee. “Hey, if you want to ask me anything about what happened or anything, please do. I'm happy to tell you.” James told harry. Harry walked towards the table and sat down asking “can we talk now? while everyone is still asleep.” “Sure, what do you want to know?” “did you know what petunia and Vernon were like before you ‘died’?” “I knew how they treated lily, specifically how petunia treated lily during school. But I didn't know how bad they would be with you.” James told him before continuing when i realised how they were treating you i wanted to come back and get you out but it was too late everyone thought i was dead and i knew Dumbledore wouldn't have let me take you." Harry nodded along, understanding what it was like with Dumbledore.
“Can I ask you something?” James asked. “Yea, what is it?” “How are you? And I don't mean that like walking by on the street, I mean how are you dealing with everything for the war and also being my son because I know what kind of burden the name can be." James asked him. Harry sat quietly for a minute, he didn't know exactly what to say because sure Sirius and Remus had asked him all the time how he was and he told them if he was struggling, but this is different his dad understands what having the name potter means and the reputation you're supposed to hold. “It started fine but when I started fighting him more it felt like a huge weight on my shoulders. It's like people are watching every move I make and everything I say can be turned against me for defense.” Harry sighs loudly before continuing “Sirius and Remus try to help me but they don't understand exactly what it's like, i guess knowone does but of all people i think you understand better. It also doesn't help that I grew up in the muggle world and I had no time to prepare for this, I was just thrown into it and Dumbledore didn't help very much either." Harry took a drink before looking back up at James. James was just staring at him blankly as if processing harry had just said “i understand the feeling of needing to be ‘perfect’ or keep up a good reputation, i am really sorry that you had to grow up with that alone and be thrown into without help, but if you want i can help with that burden because people know we’re here know.” James told him reassuringly. They sat for a while continuing to talk about school, Quidditch, and any light hearted topics.
With Sirius and Remus
Remus woke up around 8am. He looked at the time and decided to sit and read for a little. He picked up the book that was sitting on his nightstand, it was Dorian Gray which Remus was re-reading for about the tenth time. After reading for about 30 minutes he heard Sirius stirring, Remus turned to look at him. Sirius' eyes opened slowly adjusting to light and Remus just sat staring shamelessly at him, he watched Sirius as he turned to look at Remus smiling. Sirius sat up rubbing his eyes saying “I think we should talk.” Remus looked at him asking “sure,is something wrong?” “Nothing's wrong. I'm just wondering if you think we should talk to Harry about everything.” “Maybe, we can go downstairs and see if he's awake.” Sirius reaches a hand up to pull Remus toward him kissing him with intent, before things get out of hand Remus pulls away. They get out of bed and put some real clothes on and start walking downstairs.
When Sirius and Remus open the door they see Harry and James laughing together and talking about random things they think of. They walk towards the table saying ‘good morning’ they sit down across from James and harry. “How long have you been up?” Remus asked. “I got up around 7.” Harry told him. The four of them sat talking for another 20 minutes before Harry said “did either of you see if Draco is up?” “No, I don't think he was,”Remus answered. “I'm gonna go check,” Harry said, getting up from his seat and walking out the room.
“So how was it talking to harry?” Remus asked. “It was good. He asked me about what I knew of petunia. Also he was talking about how he felt with the pressure of being the chosen one because knowone understands the weight you have trying to keep that reputation which i left him with.” “We do try to help him but I think it will be good for him to talk to you about that because you understand it better than us.”Sirius told him. “Alright, I'm gonna go see if Regulus is up. Pray for me that wont get punched for waking him up.”James said, getting up from his seat and going upstairs.
With harry
Harry walked up the stairs and slowly opened the door to his room looking in to see Draco just waking up. “Morning,” Harry said, walking towards the bed. When Harry got to the bed he leaned down to Draco kissing him lightly, deciding that wasn't enough Draco pulled him back kissing him this time with more passion, harry pulled back before anything went too far remembering his dad, Sirius, Remus, Regulus and Narcissa are all here. “Morning. How long have you been up?” Draco asked him while getting out of bed to put some clothes on. “Around 7, I got to speak to my dad alone as well. It was good he told me a bit about petunia when he knew her and about my mum. Then we just talked about school and Quidditch.” “That sounds good. Are you coming downstairs now or waiting a bit?” Draco asked him. “I'll come back down now.” They walk out the room and go up the stairs, sitting with Sirius, Remus and Narcissa who must have come down after they left (I didn't give her a POV cause it was getting confusing). They all just talk about anything that comes to mind until James and Regulus walk in.
With James (i know there's a lot of POV changes its confusing me and i'm writing it)
James left the table and went up the stairs to see Regulus who was already awake and getting dressed. James looked at him, Regulus was wearing jeans and one of James’ hoodies. James walks towards Regulus putting hand on his waist and leaning in to kiss him, Regulus moves his hands to James’ neck pulling him in closer. After a minute James pulled back “morning” he whispered. “Morning. Have you talked to Sirius yet?” Regulus asked him. “Yeah I did, it's just as if it's normal. I spoke to Harry as well and it was good talking to him alone.” By now Regulus was dressed so they went downstairs. They opened the door walking and saw everyone sitting at the table so they walked over and sat down.
