Chapter 10

It had been two months since Fred's funeral. The twins were growing and changing with every day. Wherever George went people told him how much his sons look like him and he didn't have the heart to keep telling people they weren't his; after all, he was the only father they would ever know. George had made the decision two weeks after Fred's funeral that moving to Grimmauld Place with Harry and Ginny was the best thing he could do for himself and the boys. So, they moved in and George recreated the nursery that his friends and siblings had made for him at his flat in the room next to his. He had chosen to move back into the room that he and Fred had inhabited while they were at Grimmauld Place. Harry's room was one landing down, and Teddy's room was next to his. Against their mother's wishes, Ginny and Ron had moved into Grimmauld Place with Harry, followed by Hermione, a week after Hermione joined them, Draco surpirsed everyone by moving in next door. He spent more time at Grimmauld Place than he did his own home though. Draco had quickly become part of the group. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny had discussed one evening the way Draco was always around. They had decided that he was probably lonely. His parents were in Azkaban and would be for the next three years and all of his old Slytherin friends were either dead or had abandoned him. The Slytherins and pure-blood families didn't want anything to do with the Malfoys at all anymore. They didn't mind that Draco had just kind of moved in on them because they discovered that now that he wasn't being influenced by his father and Voldemort and the pure-blood mania, he was actually quite fun to hang out with. This particular day was not a fun one. The babies, all three, had to go to a Healer's appointment for a check-up. Draco arrived at the house at 8 a.m. and was met by screaming babies and rushing adults. Harry rushed past as Draco entered and dumped Teddy in Draco's arms as he ran up stairs.

"Hi, Teddy. What's wrong, buddy?" Draco asked his little cousin. The, now, three-month-old boy grinned up at Draco.

"Hi Draco, welcome to the madness." Ginny said as she came down with one of the twins. When she stopped in front of Draco he realised she had Freddie. Freddie was a little bigger than Greg and had more freckles, but you could only tell if you knew the twins really well. Ron came down with Greg and hurried past them.

"What is going on?" Draco asked.

"We over slept and didn't have anything ready because we all thought one of the others had done it when no one had." Ginny replied, trying to calm Freddie.

"What's wrong with Freddie?" Draco asked.

"He wants Daddy and Daddy is in the shower." Ginny replied.

"Ahh, well that makes sense then. He sure is a Daddy's boy. I thought for sure he would have liked you or Mione best." Draco replied.

"Greg prefers me or Mione to the guys, but he is pretty laid back no matter who has him. Teddy is laid back and doesn't care most of the time but if he wants some one, it's either me or Harry. Usually Harry unless he's sick, when he's sick he prefers me."

"I know. I was here that whole week when Teddy, George, Ron, Greg and Freddie were sick. It took all four of us to keep the house running plus Kreacher." Draco said.

When the twins were 4 weeks old and Teddy was 7 weeks old, Ron and George caught the Muggle flu from a Muggle born who had been visiting her family when they had the flu and they not only got a severe case of the flu, but they also gave it to Teddy and the twins. Hermione and Harry caught mild versions of it that slowed them down a little but didn't stop them. Ginny and Draco had lucked out and not caught it at all. Finally, half an hour later they all were ready to go. They all flooed to St. Mungos and went to the children's ward. Ginny checked them in and 5 minutes later they were called back and led to a room. Draco was holding Teddy, Harry was holding Freddie and Hermione had Greg. George and Ginny were filling out the paperwork that the receptionist had given them so they could update the babies' records. Teddy had started baby foods and the twins were now on baby cereal. The Healer, Healer Jessica Jones, entered the room a few minutes later.

"Hello everyone. It's good to see you again. How are the boys all doing? They are certainly growing." Healer Jones said.

"They are doing well. They have recovered from their bout with the Muggle Flu. Teddy has been running a low grade fever the last few days though and we wanted to ask you about that." Ginny replied.

"Has he been drooling more than he used to or chewing his hands or yours?" Healer Jones asked.

"Yes, actually he grabs our fingers all the time and puts them in his mouth." Harry replied. At that moment that was exactly what Teddy was doing to Draco.

"Well, I am pretty sure it's just teething then. But I'll check his ears and throat and make sure there isn't another reason." she replied. "They all need their Dragon Pox shots today and Wizard Measles shots. This means they are probably going to be pretty cranky for the rest of the day."

The group nodded.

"Okay, first thing I want to do is weigh and measure all of them, so if you'll strip them down to their diapers only we'll do that." The adults holding the babies began stripping the boys which wasn't hard since all they were wearing was a onesie and shorts.

"Alright, oldest first Mr. Teddy." Healer Jones said to the three-month-old.

Draco laid him on the scale.

"Getting big, 14 pounds and 2 ounces and 26 inches long." Healer Jones said. Ron put Greg on the scale next.

"This is Greg." Ron said to the Healer.

"Okay, Greg weighs in at 10 pounds even and he is now 23 inches long."

"Here's Freddie." George said, laying his son on the scale.

"Freddie is now 10 pounds and 11 ounces and 24 inches long. Good healthy weights for their ages. They are going to be big strong boys, I can tell."

Then the Healer-in-training came in with the shots for the babies. Ginny held Greg while Healer Jones administered the injections. Greg began crying as soon as she did the Dragon Pox injection and that set off his brother too, almost like he could also feel the pain. They calmed both babies and then Healer Jones asked George to hold Freddie while she did his injections and once again when she did the first injection, both twins started crying. They once again began trying to settle the twins as Healer Jones gave Teddy his injections.

"I wonder why both babies cried when only one of them was getting their shots?" Harry said as they headed back home to feed the babies lunch and put them down for their afternoon naps.

"I don't know. George, do you know why?" Ginny asked her older brother.

"I think I might. When we were younger, Fred and I noticed that we could sometimes feel when the other was feeling a strong emotion or was in severe pain or anything like that. We called it our 'Twin Sense'. Maybe Feddie and Greg can feel each others' pain." George replied.

"Maybe. It's something we can watch for, I guess." Hermione said, "And I think I might try to research it and see if there are any other reported cases of identical twins having a 'Twin Sense'."

"Leave to my Mione." Ron said, kissing her. The others laughed.

As they were changing the babies diapers a little while later before they laid them down for their naps, Ginny suddenly looked up at George.

"George, if you could feel things that were happening to Fred, did you feel it when he died?" Ginny asked quietly.

Draco, Harry, Ron, and Hermione's heads all shot up and turned to look at George, who had frozen in the middle of taping Greg's diaper back on. No one moved for a few minutes. Before George finally whispered, "Yes. I felt it when Fred died."

Then he finished taping Greg's diaper quickly, set him in Ron's lap and fled upstairs.

"What do we do?" Ron asked.

"Leave him be for a little while. After dinner, if he hasn't come down to talk to us, we'll put the kids to bed for the night and then we'll go see if he wants to talk." Draco replied.

Everyone nodded and Ginny, who was crying lightly, picked up Teddy and Freddie and took them upstairs, followed by Harry with Greg.

A/N: What will happen with George? Will he be able to talk to the rest about his twin's death? Please review and if you have any ideas, I am more than willing to try to use them!
