Chapter Two
While their elder children were at Hogwarts, Harry and Draco were at home with the now four year old triplets. Their different personalities were starting to show through. Artemisia was adventurous and outgoing. She made friends easily and she and her friends would often pretend that they were off on a dangerous quest. Dracun was more reserved. He had a few friends who he was very close to. They preferred playing quieter games, like board games or reading picture books together. Saxon on the other hand was loud and boisterous. He had many friends and they would spend their time racing around on their miniature broomsticks. As a result when all of the triplets had friends over the place became a madhouse.
Harry and Draco began to love the quiet days when the triplets wouldn't have so many friends round or were over at someone else's house. Of course they loved their children and were happy that they had so many friends. However times the noise would just become a bit too much. On one of the quieter days Harry and Draco decided to take their children to the park. Artemisia, Dracun and Saxon were playing on the swings when Harry and Draco heard voices calling to them. They turned in the direction the voices had come from and saw Neville and Blaise approaching them with their children. "Hey," Harry and Draco greeted them.
"Hey guys," Neville said grinning at them. Their two eldest children, who were called Jenna and Emory, saw the triplets and ran over to play with them. The twins were now three years old and Neville and Blaise also now had a one year old son named Kane. Blaise and Neville sat down next to Harry and Draco with Kane on Blaise's lap. The four grownups watched their children play with fond expressions.

Back at Hogwarts the nontuplets were nearing the end of the first month of N.E.W.T classes. Esther was slouched in the Slytherin common room practically falling asleep on her homework. She started when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Hi there Sleeping Beauty," a voice said. Esther slowly blinked her emerald eyes open and bushed back her long silvery blond hair. Looking up she saw her friend Annabeth standing over her with a twinkle her greyish blue eyes. Esther grinned at her friend and began rubbing her stiff neck. "Did you managed to get all your work done?" Annabeth asked.
"Yup," Esther said gathering all her books together, "I'm ready for bed though."
"So am I," her friend agreed. The two girls made their way up to the dormitory together. Esther was asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.
The next day was a Saturday and it was also a Hogsmead weekend. Esther and Annabeth went to the village with their other friends Rachel and Louisa. The first place they went to was Honeyduke's. Esther announced that she was craving fizzing whizzbees and grabbed a bag that was soon full of the sweets. Her friends also got plenty of sweets and the four of them planned to sneak down their common room for a midnight snack. The four girls avoided Zonko's Joke Shop but they did catch sight of Bertram and Dunstan in there. Esther rolled her eyes as she walked past. Of course her brothers would be in that shop.
Their last stop before heading back to the castle was a clothes shop. Being sixteen year old girls they loved to shop. They spent ages trying on the clothes there and ended up leaving with almost everything they tried on. Esther had bought herself an emerald green dress with a bow around the waist as Annabeth said it really brought out her eyes. So at the end of the day the four girls returned to the Slytherin common room very satisfied from a successful shopping trip.
...
Kenneth was sitting with his friends Russell, Matthew and Robert in front of the fire. He saw his sister and her friends enter with their arms full of shopping bags. He rolled his eyes. Esther always did spend a lot of money when she went shopping. Kenneth himself liked clothes shopping but he never spent as much as his sister did. He turned his attention back to his friends' conversation. They were talking about an upcoming quidditch match between England and Italy and were planning to watch it on the television in the common room. "When is it?" he asked.
"Next weekend," Robert replied, "you watching?"
"Of course," Kenneth said, amusement in his stormy grey eyes, "I never miss a quidditch match." Robert grinned at him. Kenneth felt his heart stutter when Robert grinned at him. 'He has such as nice smile,' he thought dreamily, 'I like his eyes too, they're like liquid gold.' Kenneth quickly shook himself from his thoughts. He wasn't surprised that he was attracted to Robert. Robert was very handsome. His hair was a sandy blond colour and his facial features were well defined. He had slightly muscular build too. Kenneth was also attracted to his personality. Robert was kind and caring with a big heart. He was also fun to be around and always knew how to cheer him up when he was feeling low. He was hesitant about telling him his feelings though as he didn't want to ruin their friendship. He didn't know that Robert felt the same way that he did.
...
Annette was sitting in the Gryffindor common trying to do her homework. She wanted to be a Healer when she left Hogwarts so she needed at least an 'Exceeds Expectations' in her N.E.W.T subjects which included Potions. Unfortunately the essay that the Potions Master had set was quite complicated. "How am I every going to get any of this right," she muttered to herself. She was tempted to just give up but that was out of the question. She really wanted this career and she knew she couldn't quit if she wanted to achieve her goals. Squaring her shoulders she set to with an air of determination. She wasn't going to give up Damnit!
