Parenting Class at Hogwarts
CHAPTER 2 - THE CHILDREN
The foursome stood up and proceeded to walk out of the Great Hall. They were all in mid conversation when Draco Malfoy and his friends joined the group.
"I cannot believe that I have been paired with him. Of all people I get paired with him." Charley said as they walked past Hagrid's hut and down towards the Quidditch Pitch.
"I don't know what your complaining about Dursley. I have to put up with you. Lets hope that this child inherits my genes," Draco retorted
"Oh yeah and what are they exactly? Arrogance, Selfish, a bully......."
The others laughed.
"I am not arrogant and selfish!" Draco shouted.
When they arrived at their village the each looked at the houses. They quickly found which one was theirs as they had their names on the post box at the front of each house. They got into their pairs and braced themselves for the "miracle" that lay within the house's walls.
Draco and Charley were left standing in front of their manor alone. Their house was beautiful. It looked just like an old victorian cottage.
"Listen Draco I think for the sake of our 'child,' we should get along. I don't want he/she to hear us bickering all the time." Charley said weakly.
"Ok but don't expect me to be nice to your cousin though, Charley. Now lets go and find our baby." He replied as he grabbed her hand and pushed her towards the door of the house.
As she entered the house Charley let out a gasp for, the house was magnificently decorated to suit everyone's needs. They made their way up the stairs and down one corridor that took them towards the nurseries. Charley pushed open the door of the daytime nursery and walked towards the cot that was placed near the window.
"Awww Draco look, we have a daughter. Isn't she just the custest baby that you have ever seen?" Charley cooed.
Draco began to soften. "Yeah, she is." They both went quiet as they stared at their sleeping daughter. She had bright blue eyes and her hair was curled and golden. She wasn't no older than about 2 months old.
"What shall we name her?" Charley said finally breaking the silence.
"How about Darcy?" Draco suggested
"Darcy? Yes I like that name and maybe Isabelle for her middle name too? Charley answered.
"Darcy Isabelle I like that."
And with her name finally decided, Darcy Isabelle woke up and looked up at her parents. She looked like Draco except she had Charley's eyes and hair. She was perfect.
"Lets get her dressed into some clothes and take her out to see everyone." Charley said.
"Ok." She reached into the cot and picked up her baby daughter. She dressed her in a pink and white flower print dress with a pink cardigan and white shoes.
She passed Darcy to her father and they walked down the stairs together and out the front door. Charley had a feeling that Draco would be a fantastic father to their daughter.
Draco held Darcy in his arms proudly and protectively like any father would. They had only walked a short distance when they meet Harry and Ginny. Ginny was pushing a pram while Harry was walking calmly beside her.
"Hi Harry, hi Ginny." Charley said to them as they came closer.
"Hi Charley...Hi Draco." Harry replied.
"Hi Potter."
How are you?" Ginny asked.
"I could be better, but I've never been happier considering I've got little Darcy with me."
"Oh! Look at her, Charley! She is a beauty. She reminds of Malfoy." Ginny noted.
"Yeah she does except she's got your hair and your eyes." Harry finished.
Let me see your baby, Ginny!" Hermione ordered.
Ginny turned the pram around. A little boy with a tuft of black hair was smiling up at them. He looked exactly like Ginny, except he had Harry's hair and eyes.
"He is so gorgeous!" Charley gasped "He's got Harry's hair and his eyes to."
"It must be a family thing Charley." Ginny said as Harry laughed.
"What's his name?"
"James Sirius." Harry smiled proudly
"I'm going to go and find Blaise here, you hold Darcy." Draco said as he gave her their daughter and with that he left.
"Draco! You can't just go we're supposed to be doing this together!"
"Draco? Since when did you start calling him that?" Harry said in confusion.
"About half an hour ago. We made a truce to stop bickering for Darcy's sake." She replied.
Just then Hermione and Ron joined the group.
"Hi everyone" Hermione smiled as she pushed a pram towards them.
"Hey, guys." Ron mumbled.
"He's cried almost nonstop, I'll tell you!" Ron exclaimed. "She won't stop crying either!"
"Hermione?" Harry asked.
"No, not me our other baby. We got twins." Ron stared remorsefully.
Harry, Charley and Ginny fell about laughing.
"What are they called?" Harry eventually asked.
"Molly Rose and Billius Arthur. What are yours called?"
"Mine and Harry's is James Sirius."
"And this is Darcy Isabelle."
