Chapter 4

The day soon came for Harry and Draco to return to Hogwarts. While they were busy making sure Bastian and Lilyana had everything they needed for the train ride, Osiris, Orion and Romulus were chattering about how excited they were about starting their first year at Hogwarts.

12 Grimmauld Place was in absolute chaos. There were trunks everywhere, Lilyana and Bastian were both crying and the three 11 year olds were bouncing around excitedly. Sirius ran a hand through is hair distractedly. Noticing the stressed look on his boyfriend's face Remus decided it was time to take action.

"Boy's that's enough," he admonished his elder children. The twins and Romulus quietened down seeing the stressed out look on their fathers' faces.

Now that they had quietened down the babies seemed to settle down too. Harry and Draco fed them and that helped put them to sleep.

...

The car ride to the station was quiet so as not to disturb the sleeping young ones however as soon as they reached the station it was inevitable that Lilyana and Bastian would wake up and start bawling their lungs out. Harry and Draco rocked them and patted them on the back until they eventually calmed down.

The family ignored the starts and whispers they were attracting and made their way to barrier separating platforms 9 and 10. By that time people had stopped staring at them and were busy trying to get to work on time.

Harry and Draco went through the first with the two babies. As soon as they were through they stood to the side to wait for the others.

It didn't take long for them to get through and the family headed towards the Hogwarts Express.

"Harry, Draco," two voices called.

Harry and Draco turned around and saw Ron and Neville making their way towards them. Ron was pushing the twins, Owen and Ewen, in a double pram while Neville had his daughter Alixia in a sling on his front. The four boys exchanged greetings and tales about what had happened over their holidays.

"Where's Hermione?" Harry asked.

"Right here," a cheerful voice said and Hermione came towards wheeling Madonna in her pram. She was followed by Dean and Seamus with their sons Cian and Fallon.

It wasn't long before Lavender and Parvati, who announced they were now officially a couple, joined them with Sarika, Sohalia and Nila.

Hogwarts had sent the new parents letters that had explained that a carriage designed for their use had been added to the Hogwarts Express so these were the ones the Gryffindors made their way towards.

When they opened the door compartment they gapped in astonishment. There were changing areas, cots and places where they could sit with their children and play. Draco allowed Harry to take Bastian for a while as he wanted to go and see Antonella.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville too their children to corner where they were lots of toys to play with and sat in a circle with their children seated on their laps.

...

At one point in the journey Harry chanced a look over at the Slytherins. It was obvious who was with who. Pansy and Theodore were a couple as were Daphne and Blaise. It was also quite clear that Theodore and Daphne were still feeling the thrill of victory over getting their children away from their other parents. Harry's gaze then flicked to Crabbe and Goyle. Crabbe was holding Camden close to him. Harry felt momentarily for Goyle and Millicent but then remembered what they were likely to become and was relieved that two innocents had been saved. But what would happen to Camden?

...

It was dark by the time the Hogwarts Express pulled into the train station at Hogsmead. The new parents bundled their children against the cold and quickly climbed into the carriages that would take them up to the school. Harry, Draco and their friends were starving and looking forward to the welcoming feast.

...

At the welcoming feast Dumbledore had a pleasant surprise for those who had become parents in their fifth year. He was allowing couples to share a room rather than live in their separate houses. Rooms had been prepared for all of them and were well equipped for their needs. Harry was ecstatic, now he would be able to spend more time with his son and boyfriend.

...

After the feast the couples hurried off to their own rooms. Much to everyone's surprise Hermione and Professor Snape would be sharing a room though they would obviously have separate beds.

...

Harry and Draco loved their room. There was a beautiful green and white bassinet for Lilyana and a blue and white cot for Bastian. There were chest where things such as nappies, clothes and toys could be stored and of course nightlight had been installed. There was also an on suite bathroom with a couple of changing areas. However what drew their attention after they'd settled the babies down to sleep was the glorious double bed.

The two fathers flopped down and the bed and sighed with contentment at how soft it was.

"This is going to be an insane year isn't it?" Draco said rolling onto his side and facing Harry.

Harry sighed. It would be an insane year. Voldemort was gaining strength and on top of that they had children to protect. Draco noted Harry's silence.

"Are you alright?" he asked reaching out and caressing Harry's face. Harry leaned in to the touch and closed his eyes.

"You're right," he murmured, "this is going to be an insane year." He smiled ruefully. "I don't think I've never had a normal year at Hogwarts."

Draco remembered everything Harry and his friends had been through since their first year. He wrapped his arms and Harry snuggled in closer to him. The former Slytherin ran his fingers through the emerald eyed teen raven hair and pressed a kiss to his temple.

"It'll be alright Harry," Draco tried to sound convincing but he barely believed himself.

AN: So there's chapter four. Sorry it took so long. Hopefully it makes sense and is not too disjointed.
