"Harry could I talk to you about sothing?" There was no admonishnt in the tone, but the boy-who-lived had a feeling he knew what 'the talk' was going to be about. Considering he had just been kissed by the man's daughter about ten minutes prior it didn't take a Hermione to figure things out.
Following him into the kitchen the man let out a sigh before preparing so tea. "Sure has been a hell of a sumr huh?"
"Yeah…"
Would this be it? The conversation of 'we love you and all but we can't have you making out with our children like a pervert so you are going to go live with soone else' talk?
"Did anyone give you the talk?"
The boy's thoughts ca to a halt, and focusing in on the man he didn't see disappointnt but rather a hint of concern. "Uhm…"
"I an the talk Harry, about sex."
Sothing ugly flashed into his mind, anger and full of spite. "There wasn't anyone to give that."
Seeing as he had pushed the wrong button Jas Potter flinched, "Right… sorry I didn't an… Shit this wasn't how this was supposed to go. Look I just… I'm not mad at you or anything like that I just…" the man fell silent, clearly searching for the correct words.
As for Harry, he imdiately felt bad. It wasn't this man's fault, or his own father's really, for his situation. "Sorry, I didn't an to bla you or anything. No, there wasn't anyone. I didn't et Sirius until third-year and by then he wasn't really in the right fra of mind. Dumbeldore wasn't around, I shudder to think of McGonagall trying and I wasn't close to any other adult, at least not really."
This seed to calm the older wizard, who nodded slowly, clearly unhappy with how things had gone. "Well… alright look, obviously I saw what happened outside and I just want you to know this type of thing is normal for kids your age… well okay maybe not normal considering Amy is your pseudo female self but like… well kissing is normal."
"And kissing family?"
The man shifted his weight, "I an… your mom will be giving those two a stern talking to about consent and appropriate behavior I'm sure but… it isn't as weird as it might be in the Muggle world. Pretty sure Sirius' first kiss was with one of his cousins, and from the few siblings who were raised together that I've heard from, yeah this is far from being outrageous. You're curious, Amy is curious, Harriet is curious, and it's normal to be that way. We just want you to be safe."
Harry nodded, "So you aren't… kicking out?"
Jas Potter froze, and even if it had been made out to be a slight joke the look on his face took the air from the younger wizard's lungs. "Harry… we will never do sothing like that, ever."
He nodded, one of the many fears that had been growing inside of his mind being banished, at least for the ti being.
"However, I do want you to look over a pamphlet on birth control Charms and protections."
The younger wizard snorted, but then noticed the lack of humor on the man's face. "Wait… are you…"
"Yes, very serious. Look you aren't required to do anything, obviously, but if you do decide to we would prefer not to be grandparents this young. There's nothing wrong with exploring and having fun Harry, even with one of them." He gave a nod towards the other room, giving a clear indication of who exactly he was referring to, "Just… don't let them take advantage of you, okay? And make sure you are all being safe. You will probably end up being the voice of reasoning if things escalate."
At that mont Harry Potter agreed with the man's original statent, this had been a hell of a sumr, and it wasn't even close to being over.

It was during dinner one evening that Harry rembered a question he had long since wondered. "What do you do for a living?"
The two adults turned towards him, blinking in confusion for a mont as he began to blush realizing how weird his question had been. Luckily, their expressions softened monts later. "Well, I work at the ministry doing research on Magical phenonon. Jas takes the sumrs off but does so freelance work during the school year as he ntioned before."
Amy asked a, natural, follow up. "What did they do where you're from?"
It earned her a harsh glare from her mother, who hissed in warning. By then, however, Harry was comfortable enough knowing such things were going to be asked "It's okay, uhm I'm not really sure though. I know they were active in the war so I figure at least one of them might have been an Auror."
The room sank into an awkward silence before the oldest wizard lit up. "I have an idea, why don't you take him to work with you soti this week Lils? Show him around and such. You took the girls when they were younger after all."
Harry and his mom made eye contact for a mont across the table before she shrugged, "If you would like to, I would be more than happy to get it approved."
He nodded and the plan was set.
