Today was the start of the school term. Nicole and Draco couldn't drag themselves to leave the kids. Neither one of them wanted to go back to classes. They wanted to stay there with the kids and never leave them. It helped that they both knew Sev would be watching the kids while they were in class. Of course he wasn't too thrilled when he heard that at first. He had a feeling that all the girls would be cooing over Chris and Angel. But on the same hand he didn't try to fight it because there was no way anyone else was good enough to watch the children while Nicole and Draco were in class. Nicole had suggested that Sirius and Wendy could watch them. Sev had vetoed that as soon as it was out of Nicole's mouth. He didn't have a problem with Wendy, just her husband. Yes Wendy and Sirius had tired the knot over the summer in front of their family and friends.
Class
"Today class we'll be…" Sev started to say before Chris decided to wake up and cry.
"It's ok Chris," Sev said picking up his son and holding him to his chest.
"Awe," all the girls said.
"Nicole come up here," Sev said through clinched teeth.
"What?" Nicole asked coming up.
"Your son just peed on me," Sev said not at all thrilled.
"Hey don't piss off you son and he won't," Nicole said trying to hide a smirk.
"Just take him and change him," Sev said.
"Fine," Nicole said going to the back room where Sev's office was. There was also a changing table and crib that he could lay the kids in when he wasn't teaching class or they were making a potion that he thought was too dangerous for the kids to be around. Yes there were spells and charms protecting them but there were just those times that he would rather be leaving the class then take the chance of one of them getting hurt.
By time Nicole got back with Chris, Draco was heading back to change Angel. She decided that her cousin couldn't get all of the attention.
Over the next couple of months things went as smoothly as could be expected. The girls would awe when Sev did something sweet for one of the babies. The only way for them not to was for Sev to threaten to take points from them. It was getting harder and harder for him to keep students in place. They weren't afraid of him anymore like they used to be. They saw the way he was with Chris and Angel. They knew that he wasn't the cold hearted bastard that they all thought he was. They knew he was a softy underneath.
Chris ended up almost giving Sev a heart attack because he at the age of four months was doing wandless magic. Sev had taken his teddy bear and set in on the desk since he didn't want it. Or so Sev thought. The next thing he knows is the bear was heading over to Chris's play pen. He thought at first that it was Nicole or Draco. But once he noticed that it wasn't either of them he went over to Chris and saw him pointing his finger at the bear. The class was quite happy because by Chris showing his magic already they got out of homework that night. But of course he made up for it the next class time. Of course Angel Malfoy wasn't to be out done by her cousin. Within two days she too was showing her magic skills. But she congered up her dragon from her crib in her daddy's room. Her daddy had forgot to bring it with them that day and she wanted it. Her uncle wasn't getting that's what she wanted so she got it for herself. To say Sev was shocked is an understatement. He freaked when he noticed it. Draco wasn't any better he fainted on the spot when he saw his little girl already doing wandless magic. Well Madam Pomfrey had warned them they children could start showing their magic early. But none of them expected it to be THAT early. They were thinking that in a year yeah but not now!
Nicole ended up splitting her time between the kids, school work, friends, planning her wedding, and spending time with Severus. By time December came she was ready for it. She wanted to be able to put all the planning behind her already. She knew her friends would be shocked to the core when they realized A) they were coming to a wedding and B) it was just a wedding not the bonding ceremony.
