CHAPTER 1
Welcome back
Hermione couldn't believe that she found herself once again in her childhood home, in her childhood bedroom three years after she graduated Hogwarts and four years since the war.
She really thought she wouldn't ever be back here after everything that happened after she found her parents in Australia, her parents decided to stay in there for good and so she stayed with them too.
She was brought out of her musings when she heard someone pop into the hallway and walk into her room.
"Hermione! You're finally here!" Harry said as he dragged her into his arms for a hug, "We thought you might not be able to come for at least another week! We were a bit worried that you might not be able to make it in time to welcome your godson!" Harry continued as he let go of Hermione.
"Harry James Potter, I would never miss the birth of your first child! Let alone my very first godson! How are you? How is Ginny especially?" Hermione asked as she held onto Harry's shoulder.
"She's fine, a little bit more hormonal than usual but I think she's more excited and anxious at the same time." Harry said. "Well, I know how she feels, she's probably also worried that something might happen to the baby and or something might go wrong especially since its her first child" Hermione replied as they both sat down on the floor of her old room since it has been a while since anyone actually lived here. "You really do have a knack for knowing even other people's feelings huh?" Harry said jokingly, it reminded him of the time when he and Cho kissed for the first time and Hermione all knowingly told him and Ron off on how Cho must've felt about it. "You forget Harry Potter that I've already been in her shoes!" Hermione said.
"And where is my little god son, Mione? I hope you brought him with you, It's been so long since I last saw him and I would love for him and my son to meet and be friends as soon as possible!" Harry said, "He's asleep right now in my parent's room, I set up a small place for him to play and rest in there while I get my room ready" Hermione said as she stood up "would you like to see him? He's about to wake up in any moment" Harry stood up and followed Hermione to the door smiling "I'd love to, let's go."
As if on cue, Hermione found her little boy awake and sitting up as he noticed someone on the door "Hello little bug, are you feeling better?" Hermione said as she approached her son's crib as she checked his forehead and carried him up. "He had a little bit of trouble with flying on the plane for the first time and then apparating here from the airport, my poor baby." Hermione said to Harry as she continuously looked at her baby. "Look who's here to visit you David, who is that?" she said as she pointed to Harry which in turn caused her son to look at the man his mother was pointing at David in turn looked at the man in the door and gave a toothy smile and said "unky hawry" as he lay his head on Hermione's shoulder as he chewed on his thumb.
"Hello David! Uncle Harry missed you so much!" Harry said as he took David from Hermione's arms and carried him down to the living room "I have so many surprises waiting for you back at the burrow" Harry said as he cuddled David as soon as they reached the living room "Harry, what did you get him this time? I told you he isn't old enough for a broom! In fact, I forbid you to get my son a broom, such a dangerous contraption will never get near my son!" Hermione said, she suddenly felt nervous of what Harry had gotten her son this time. The last time he gave David a present- which was a cauldron that was filled with sweets that would keep refilling itself- she had to send Harry three howlers; one from her, and another from her mother and father each, scolding him for sending something so unhealthy to someone so young! Her parent's letters of course contained a rather long lecture on how it could potentially damage their grand child's yet to be completed set of teeth, while Hermione's howler contained a summary of what her parents had sent and scolding him for giving her son a present like that when he can't even properly eat yet!
"Relax Hermione, their only toys, and I promise, Molly and Ginny helped me pick them out this time so you can be rest assured that the toys are all good" Harry said "Now, can we go now? Everyone's excited to see you once again and of course everyone wants to get their hands on this little guy!" Harry continued as he faced Hermione but tickling David in his tummy causing the little boy to giggle.
"Yes, yes, let's go! I can't wait to see Ginny and everyone! Let me just get David's baby bag and my purse then we can go.
"Alright, well, hurry up then!" Harry said as he walked around the room with David in his arms, as soon as Hermione was upstairs and out of sight "do you want a sweet, my dear godchild? Here's your first surprise!" Harry said as he took a small piece of chocolate from his pocket and unwrapped it so that eh can feed it to the little boy in his arms "but we musn't tell mummy ok? She would kill uncle if she found out I fed you sweets before dinner" Harry said as he put the small piece of chocolate in the child's mouth.
A few minutes later, Hermione comes back from upstairs carrying a baby bag a stuffed toy and her beaded bag "Alright, let's go now" as she approached Harry and her son "I see you still have that beaded bag, brings back memories!" Harry said as he chuckled at Hermione "Harry can you please just hand me some floo? I really want to see your wife now!" Hermione said as she rolled her eyes at him.
Harry reached for a small pouch from his pants pocket and handed it to Hermione "Alright, alright! Here, but I'm carrying David cause as soon as we arrive I won't be able to hold him again until you guys probably go home" Harry said as he hugged the baby closer to him to prepare him for the floo travel.
"Fine Harry, you can hold him and handle him until we get to the burrow" Hermione said as they stepped into the fireplace and she shouted "The Burrow!"
