A/N—Okay, I was reading over the last few chapters and I've come to realize that, Harry and Draco are really OOC. Now, I don't know how you guys feel about them so I'm not sure if their personalities are a good or bad thing. I just don't want my story to get all corny and weird… I don't know. Is it just me or what? Because I tend to criticize my own work a lot and then I start not liking it anymore and then I stop writing it. / sigh Well, just tell me what you think, maybe you can cheer up.

On to the story! :D

"Stop it Hayden," Lucian swatted his brother on the head; Hayden was wiping his crumb covered hands on Lucian's clothes instead of his own. "You makin' me dirty."

Hayden whined at the abuse and threw one of his cheerios at his younger brother.

"Stop it!" Lucian took his half-empty Elmo juice cup and lifted his arm, ready to strike his annoying brother.

"Put it down Lucian." Severus commanded. He and the sextuplets sat on the large backyard patio; them sitting at their yellow, red and blue Little Tyke's picnic tables and him on the light porch swing, monitoring snack time. It was a cloudy September afternoon in northern Pennsylvania and a light cool breeze blew from the east, thus the children all wearing light jackets over their lounge clothes. They had played with James for a while in the enormous backyard; playing on the playscape, running and tackling each other, getting all of their energy out.

Severus and James owned a beautiful three story home in the country; away from the city and the noise of traffic. They'd bought the house after their son in-law had given birth to the twins, knowing there were bound to be more. Severus had wanted an open space for his grandchildren to run freely and to always have an enjoyable time whenever they came to stay.

"Grapa Seb, him throw dis at me." Lucian lifted up the impending cereal so his grandfather could see, defending himself. Hayden went back to his cheerios and apples with cheese, humming some off tune song.

"Dat was naughty Hay'day. Papa said no do dat." Bethany, who was the "little mother" of them all, informed her brother. She sat across from him and Lucian while Leelah, Jacob and Hope sat at the table behind them.

"I know, I saw him and yourself hit him." Severus stood from the incredibly comfortable swing, stretching and popping his old joints. He reached down to pick up Hope who was desperately telling him she needed to use the potty.

"Come with me you two." Severus led two complaining two-year olds to the bed/nap/story room, calling to his love who was in the kitchen, to keep an eye on the rest and to send them up when they'd finished eating. Severus walked up the long staircase and was welcomed with kid-friendly colored walls. James had proposed the idea of a pre-school for the six in their own home. Their house was beyond big enough to hold all the necessities a school for toddlers needed and he knew his retired husband was getting a bit restless as he usually did around this time of the year, being cooped up in the house with nothing really to do.

The second floor of the house was completely devoted to the pre-school; having three bedrooms two bathrooms and a game room. One of the rooms served as an actual class room with two rows of three desks, a dry erase board on the front wall and a couple few shelves that held colored plastic bins full of different supplies. The game room obviously held all of the children's toys, none of them being allowed into any of the other rooms. The last room was a tumble room that held soft structures for the kids to climb on and a few overly large balls that the babies loved to bounce upon. James was usually in charge there.

"Go sit in your beds." Severus told the two shuffling boys, taking his raven haired granddaughter to the lavatory that was attached to the room.

"Can I pick out a book grapa?" two- and- a- half year old Hayden lingered by his crib, chewing on his favorite blanket.

There was a slightly muffled "yes" from the bathroom and Hayden gladly went over to the child size book case.

"No, I wanna get a story!" Lucian cried, but didn't get up from his crib. All of the six cribs had the side bars that were facing inwards removed, making it a semi-big-kid bed.

"You already picked yesterday Lucian, it's Hayden's turn now." Severus walked back into the room with a relieved drowsy Hope in his arms. He laid her down in her bed, tucking the covers over her.

"Okay, go hurry and get into your beds or I'm gonna get you! Rrrwwaar!" James' deep slightly aged voice traveled from the stairs.

Loud squeals grew as three children ran into the room and to their beds.

Severus sighed at his lovers' antics. "Don't rile them up James, they need their sleep."

James' bright hazel eyes looked at the dark haired retired doctor/teacher. "They're in bed aren't they?" He settled down heavily into his recliner that sat in the corner, close to Leelah's bed. "They'll be out soon after all that running today."

Severus pursed his lips and sat down in his own recliner that was near the door. He sighed contently and finally looked at the book Hayden had chosen. Severus groaned inwardly. Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See again?

"Grandpa, I want granddad Jamie to read dat book." Jacob said momentarily taking his two fingers out of his mouth to speak. He liked it better when granddad Jamie read it cause he did funny voices with all the different animals.

"Fine with me." Severus handed over the book and leaned back, closing his eyes as he listened to James' voice changing to different ridiculous tones. He heard thunder and slightly smiled; the sound of rain and thunder helped his grandchildren fall asleep easily and wake up in positive moods.

Soon the room was filled with quiet snores and sighs from the eight inhabitants.

A/N – Did you guys see the trailer for the sixth movie?! FREAKIN AWESOME!! I loved every bit of it. It looks so dark and mysterious…. And I honestly think the young Tom Riddle played his part a little too well… What'd you think??

Oh yeah, Review!!
