Chapter One; Back to School
The Easter holidays were over and Tobey and Eve were headed back to Hogwarts with Snape, Ron, and Hermione. After Harry dropped them off with their luggage at King's Cross station and he dropped Teddy and Heather off at charm school he went to work. Aaron had brought in his new son to show to David who was busy giving him a bottle as Harry stepped inside his office.
David smiled down at the little baby inside his arms unaware that Harry was even there. "Wow I can't believe it. He's not even a month old yet and he's already almost as big as Bobbie is." He said.
"I know. He's a pretty big baby." Aaron admitted with a grin when suddenly he saw Harry out of the corner of his eye and turned to look at him. "Oh hey Harry. I brought Danny in today." He said as Harry grinned and nodded.
"Yeah I've noticed. So how is fatherhood?" he asked him.
"Well I'm not going to lie to you it isn't easy. All Danny wants to do during the day when he isn't eating or pooping is sleep, and then he has Brittany and I up all night. The dogs aren't happy about it either since he spends most of the night crying." He explained.
"Yeah, babies will do that." Harry said. "So anyway, what do you want me to do today?" he questioned David.
"Well, I think it's time that Lucky and his adoptive brothers and sisters started getting used to water. Why don't you go ahead and fill up a tiny plastic pool of water and allow them to start learning how to swim since they are almost two years old now and pretty soon they'll be too big for it altogether." He said as Danny stopped drinking his milk and David brought him up to the towel that he had up on his shoulder so that he could burp him.
"Be careful whatever goes inside of him usually winds up going out again through another end." Aaron warned him as Harry silently nodded and turned to leave the office.
"I know, why do you think that I've come prepared? I have one of these remember?" David said.
"True, but yours doesn't try to squirt you when you change her diaper." Aaron pointed out.
"True." David said giving a tiny little chuckle as he patted Danny on the back gently and that's when sure enough he spat out his milk again all over his shoulder.
"Daniel,.." Aaron began impatiently. "how are you ever going to get any bigger if you never let your food stay inside your stomach long enough to digest it?" he questioned him as the baby let out a grunt.
"Don't worry, he's obviously still getting food in there if he's still able to poop like that." David said wrinkling his nose and making a disgusted face.
"Here," Aaron began offering out his arms. "give him to me. I'll take him back into the men's room to change him." He said.
"Be my guest and do it quick before the smoke alarm goes off." David told him as he handed the baby over to him and then Danny began to cry.
"It's alright son, Daddy's going to get you all cleaned up." Aaron reassured him as he pressed his lips to the baby's forehead and kissed it before he turned around and left the room hushing him along the way.

Later on that afternoon Harry picked Teddy and Heather up from charm school. He turned his head to smile back at them as the door opened and they climbed into the backseat. "Hullo, how was school?" he asked them as Heather silently handed him a piece of paper. "What's this for?" he asked her.
"Heather was bad in school today, she told a lie to the teacher." Teddy told him as Harry glanced down at the piece of paper and found that he was right as it had been a note from the teacher explaining the situation.
"Heather, according to this you didn't get your homework done last night." Harry began with a shake of his head. "When I specifically asked you whether or not you finished it you told me that you did. So that means not only did you lie to your teacher but you lied to me and I let you stay up later last night because I believed you." He said.
"I know, I'm sorry Harry." She told him as he nodded at her.
"Well, I know you are but you're going to go to bed early tonight instead and every night this week. No videogames or telllie either. Do you understand?" he questioned her as she nodded at him. "Good, but I'm not happy with your behavior at all. I'm also going to send an owl to Dad about this as soon as I can." He said as he handed the note back to her. "I'll sign this for you when we get home." He told her before he pulled the car out of park and stepped on the accelerator and pulled away from the curb before he drove away.
Meanwhile Tobey, Eve, Ron, and Hermione shared a compartment together on the Hogwarts Express. "Just think, in a couple more months we'll be going home for the summer." Eve said excitedly.
"I know, and then you'll get a chance to go to Hogsmeade next year." Tobey reminded her as Hermione smiled at them.
"You guys really are growing up so fast, aren't they Ron?" she questioned him as she turned to look at him while Eve turned her head to look out the window. "Ron?" she questioned him louder when he didn't respond since he had his nose buried inside a magazine.
"I'd never thought I'd see the day where Hermione Granger would try and get somebody to stop reading." Eve said as she turned her head back to look at her and grinned slyly.
"What?" Ron wondered as Hermione just simply rolled her eyes at him.
"Never mind." She said before she caught a glimpse of the cover and realized that it was about aliens. Then she saw something that looked oddly familiar to her. It was a big blue police box that had a man and a woman standing on either side of it.
