"Pansy, this is Barry Allen. Barry, meet Pansy Parkinson."

"Nice to meet you, Julian's told me about you," Barry smiled, shaking the dark haired woman's hand. He held back a wince from her tight grip.

"How interesting, he's not been very charitable when it comes to telling me about you," she said with a raised eyebrow. "I've been dying to meet the man who finally brought Draco out of his hermit shell ever since he wrote!"

Six months had passed since the incident with Spell Caster and since Barry and Julian had got together. As anticipated, it had been rough to begin with. Julian ended up being required at Spell Caster's trials (which Barry was allowed no involvement with), making him tired and short-tempered, and Barry wasn't able to be there for his boyfriend as much as he would have liked since, as always, there were new metas on the loose that demanded a lot of his time. However, despite some monumental arguments, the trial finished (fortunately with no repercussions for Julian) and there was a lull in meta activity which meant they could spend a well-deserved weekend relaxing together. It was during this weekend Julian admitted that, for all the wizarding world's faults, spending time in it again reminded him of all the aspects he missed. After some gentle encouragement from Barry, he slowly began to integrate himself back into the magical community, getting his house officially registered as a magical property. Since that moment, every time Barry went to Julian's he would find a new magical object. The cauldron had been the most exciting though since losing his eyebrows, he was wary to get to close again.

However, with his re-introduction came the press which turned out to be even worse than muggle paparazzi. In one memorable moment, Barry had blearily opened the door to a reporter and the next morning he was on the front page of the wizarding newspaper Julian got delivered, shirtless chest exposed to the world. Julian had vengefully set the paper on fire before either of them could read the article and he must have done something since they were never approached again.

Despite that, after a lot of 'persuading', Julian took Barry on a trip into the wizarding part of Central. Though Barry had been forced to wear a cloak with the hood up and Julian put a glamour on, it had been worth it. He'd felt like a little kid again, wandering through the magical mall, and though he hadn't got the pygmy puff he'd begged for, he got an assortment of 'Weasley Wizard Wheezes' products and enough sweets to last a year. He wasn't entirely sure how much Julian had spent that day (wizarding currency still confused him) but it was probably a good job he came from a rich family.

Still, that day had been easily trumped by the vacation they'd spent in France with Julian's mother. It was five months into their relationship when Julian asked if Barry would like to accompany him for a surprise visit to his mother. Of course, Barry had readily agreed, knowing that Julian hadn't seen her since he left for America. He hadn't been sure what to expect, Julian was becoming more open with tales of his upbringing, but to his delight Narcissa had been perfectly nice. Nothing could beat the moment that she'd opened the door and laid eyes on Julian. She'd instantly wrapped her son in a tight hug, over-joyed tears pooling in her eyes. She'd then dragged Barry into a hug before he'd even introduced himself, murmuring a quiet thank you in his ear.

And now, Barry was Julian's guest at a different reunion, since Potter never managed to convince Julian to go to the last. This one, however, had even fewer people. It was mainly for those who had been in Julian's year in school, their families and a couple of teachers. Even having been in a magical environment before, he was still star-struck by the castle, having to be dragged by Julian to avoid him wandering off.

(Barry would have liked a warning about the staircase though. The shriek he'd let out when the stone started flying off in a different direction had Julian laughing harder than Barry had ever seen.)

"I told you Pansy, I prefer to go by Julian now," Julian huffed and Pansy smirked.

"You'll always be my Dwaco," she cooed, tugging on Julian's cheek. He slapped her hand away, eyes rolling, but Barry could see the fondness lurking beneath his irritated exterior. A dark-skinned man appeared to the right of Pansy.

"Blaise Zabini," he introduced, the name ringing a bell. "Pleasure."

"Hi, Barry Allen," Barry greeted, shaking his hand.

"So, how did you two meet, if you don't mind me asking? Draco, or Julian, was a bit stingy with the details. "

"That's what I said!" Pansy chipped in, pausing in her tormenting.

Barry chuckled. "Well, it's a bit of a long story…"

There was a gentle pull on Barry's jeans.

"Is it true you're a super hero?"

"And you gotta Gryffindor costume?"

Barry startled, looking down to find two kids by him, both with the same messy inky black hair. Having already been introduced to Potter's whole extended family, Barry recognized the older boy as James and the younger, more solemn one as Albus. Suddenly, more children flocked around him, asking questions of their own, curious adults following them until Barry found himself with an audience. Julian, always helpful, stood back and watched with amusement.

"It, uh, I'm really not that exciting…"

"Uncle Harry said you're called the Flash!" Called a teenager from the back of the crowd. His hair morphed from purple, to blue, to green indicating it was Teddy. He was pretty sure he was related to Julian though how, he couldn't remember. Julian tried to explain his family history once and never again.

"Um, yes…"

"What can you do?" Yelled out one of the eager, red-headed children.

"Run really fast…"

"Go on Allen," murmured Julian, breath ghosting against Barry's ear. "Give them a demonstration."

Barry figured it wasn't every day muggles got to impress wizards.

(It did also help that as thanks for taking everyone's attention away from him, Barry got very thoroughly rewarded by Julian later that night.)

I might revisit this universe but for now this is it. Also, yes there may have been some 'easy fixes' in this but it is primarily a self-indulgent fic, though of course I'm happy if you enjoyed it. Thank you for reading. 3
