Chapter twelve

When Harry and Draco took their son and daughter out to buy more clothes, it didn't take long before reporters and photographers turned up. Yelling questions until Harry cast a silencing charm around his children and Draco glared at them before telling them to shut up before they woke his children. Finally after they realised Harry and Draco would refuse to move the silencing charm and answer any questions, they fell silent. Harry nodded then removed the charm, then both he and Draco answered a few questions about how they got together and if they are a couple now. They both said they were just friends and spent a lot of time together with their children, then told them their names. Finally Harry shook his head, and cast a shield charm around the four of them and walked off so the reporters couldn't get near them why they shopped.

A couple of days later, Harry and Draco took their children to the Burrow as all the family were going to be there and it was the first time everyone would see Harry as Harry and not Harriet.

'So back to normal Harry?' Arthur shook his hand.

'Yep, all man.'

'I think I liked you better as Harriet,' George grinned, 'Not the part of coming onto me though.'

'Don't remind me and it wasn't me, it was her. Just like with Charlie, I know what happened but it wasn't me, so I don't want to think about it.'

'What, sticking your tongue down my throat.' Charlie said making everyone laugh. 'If you want to do it now, I'm in, your tongue was wicked, but I prefer a bloke to do it, so how about it Harry, want to snog me again?'

'Charlie,' Harry glared as everyone laughed again, then he picked up his son from the pram and handed James to Molly why Draco picked up Lily and handed her to Arthur.

'Their sure growing,' Arthur said as he looked at the little girl in his arms, 'She looks like Draco.'

'Yeah, she does and James looks like me. They could change, so I've read, isn't that right mum?'

'Yes, children will often look like one parent, then the other. Bill started off looking like me, now he's Arthur all over.'

'Well since I know my children are very well looked after, I'll be right back,' Harry left the kitchen and went upstairs to the bathroom. When he finished he saw Ginny walked past, 'Ginny.'

'Oh, you're you are you, well good for you, I'm busy, I haven't got time to talk.'

'So that's it is it, am I supposed to feel guilty for something that wasn't my fault.'

'Just leave me alone Harry, it's taken me a long time to get used to the idea that we can never be together.'

'Why, you have to at least give me a reason?'

'A reason, what, being tied down with two kids isn't enough. I don't want to be tied down with kids at eighteen, I want to have some fun, like we talked about remember.'

'Oh so now you're blaming my kids. Well it's good to know where we stand, doesn't it Ginny. Shows I was right when I said to take things slow. Now you can go find a bloke that's not tied down and shag him,' Harry turned and stormed down the stairs.

'That's exactly what I have been doing for your information, shagging, having fun, why you've been stuck changing nappies, great life.' Ginny yelled.

'Actually it's the best life and I'm loving every minute of it. But now I'm finally seeing the real you and you know what Ginny, I don't like you one bit.'

'Same here,' Ginny grabbed her purse and stormed out of the house to shocked looks.

'Sorry,' Harry sighed as he sat down, 'that didn't go quite like I was hoping.'

'We told Ginny she should have told you she didn't want you and her to be together anymore, she refused.' Hermione said kindly.

'Don't worry Hermione, it wasn't meant to be. But I wouldn't trade James and Lily for anything, I love them too much. So if being a woman for a part of my life, I'll live with that because it was worth it to have them two.'

'You've got a real family even if we are Harry, they make it different. So you've accepted that you'll live as a woman for two months every year?' Arthur said.

'Yep, I have, I just hope she doesn't keep buying stuff, especially shoes and I'll run out of room to keep it all. I already have to get a separate room for her. I've got no room for my clothes.'

'It's really like that, isn't it Harry?' George asked, 'you and her, not all you.'

'Yeah, we are two completely different people. But knowing what she does it hard to live with. She's a flirt, comes on to anyone and would probably shag any bloke that asks her. I'm sort of the type that thinks sex shouldn't be casual.'

'So with her, that's what happened with us,' Draco said.

'Well yeah, but it was her that come on to you first, you just went with it. But Dra, I can't believe she called you Dra, or cutie.'

Everyone in the kitchen laughed again, 'You called me cutie, now I wouldn't mind hearing it again,' Charlie smirked.

'Not going to happen Charlie, if I was into blokes, I definitely wouldn't go for another red head, they have tempers, I like the quiet life. I wonder if my mother had a temper, and if she did, how dad handled that?' Harry shuddered, 'How do you cope with that dad?' Harry grinned.

'Having my shed Harry, it helps to disappear when the yelling starts.'

'Arthur,' Molly scolded making everyone laugh, 'I need to get lunch, so take your son Harry.'

'No, I will,' Hermione said and jumped up. Molly smiled and placed the baby boy into her arms.

'These two are going to be spoiled, Harry and I give into them all the time, but so do Hermione and Ron, well Neville and Luna, then everyone else.'

'The first of our friends to have any kids, but we expect the same when we have kids. Since Harry will be godfather to them, won't you mate, well unless you're a godmother at the time?' Ron said making everyone laugh again.

'Funny, godfather thank you Ron and I should be, we've been mates forever. I think you'd hurt my feelings if you named someone else godfather. And just think, I'll have all the experience by the time you two get with making babies.'

'We do want our careers first Harry, but they will come, eventually,' Hermione smiled, 'Oh James is sucking on my finger.'

'Do you want to feed him now I can let others?'

'Yes, I do, so hand me his bottle.'

'Since Hermione is feeding James, Ron can feed Lily, she's hungry as well,' Arthur placed the baby girl into his youngest sons arms, then Harry handed Hermione a bottle, why Draco handed Ron a bottle.

'Well you two seem to know what you're doing, bottles, nappies,' George said.

'Yep, thanks to mum's help or we'd be lost. But since my children are fine, Fleur, can I have Victoire?' Fleur chuckled, then handed her daughter to Harry, 'She's looking more like you now Fleur.'

'Bill zinks so too.'

'Fleur and I were talking Harry, about their first birthday. We'll have to give the three of them a party together and we thought here would be good.'

'Great idea, what do you think Draco?'

'Yes, I like it and if they are crawling by then, more sticking charms.'

'We've been doing that since Bill was born. Charlie was the worst though, used to pull everything down before we realised he was crawling. Then he'd find something we'd forget.'

'So he's always been mischievous,' Harry grinned over at the dragon handler.

'Yep, that's me, but more in the bedroom now,' Charlie smiled at Harry.

'You're doing that to get back at me, aren't you Charlie.'

'Yep, but at least I'm not snogging you or feeling you up.'

'Oh don't remind me, and Neville, she felt him up too. I'll have to apologise to him. So Hermione, did you find out when I'll change again?'

'Yes, now normally it would be on your birthday, but since you did breast feed for three months, passing your birthday, it could happen at any time.'

'Okay, at least I won't be as shocked as last time. But I have to make sure she does the contraceptive charm to stop herself falling pregnant. Anymore with these two at this age will just be too much.'

'How do you know about the contraceptive charm?' Hermione asked.

'She got a book about all that type of stuff, she seems to like sex so she wasn't going to fall pregnant straight away this time. This is so strange, she slept with Draco, I'm still a bloody virgin, how wrong it that?' everyone in the kitchen of the Burrow broke into laughter because they all realised it's true, Harriet had sex, Harry hasn't.
