Grandpa Albus?

Severus, Hermione, Draco and Ron had the same reactions to that little tid bit of information, their jaws dropped in almost perfect unison. Albus ignored them completely and picked Harry up, hugging him close while walking into the room and taking a seat on a stool. Albus smiled warmly down at the little boy and asked, "How are you Little Leo?"
Harry snuggled into the warm embrace and answered, "I's fine Gwanpa. The pwetty girl gives me a fog tos eat, but the fog jumps tills yous eats it."
Albus nodded, "Ah, Miss Granger thank you for doing that. Well Little Leo should we go look in Grandpa's office for a while?"
Harry nodded into Albus's shoulder and Albus smiled at the rest of the group and said, "Severus, if you could please send floo Remus and Sirius please? Miss Granger, Mr. Weasley and Mr. Malfoy if you could come with us to my office for a bit please."
Everyone did as they were told and shortly after Albus was sitting with Harry in his office, both calmly petting Fawkes while Hermione, Ron and Draco sat nervously in chairs in front of his desk. They had been waiting twenty minutes when Severus came through the office with an extremely worried Sirius Black and Remus Lupin on his heels.
Remus of course was looking ready to jump up announce the birth of the triplets any second, but both he and Sirius took one look at Harry's little face with a hand mark on it and growled. Harry looked up with wide innocent eyes, jumped off Albus's lap and ran full force at Remus yelling out, "Moony!"
Sirius interceded the two so that Harry wouldn't hurt Remus and said, "What? No 'hi Padfoot'?"
Harry looked up at Sirius, cocked his head in confusion, burrowed his eyebrows as if trying to remember something and then smiled. Harry walked up and calmly looked into Sirius's blue eyes and asked, "Where the fly bike?"
Sirius out right laughed and asked, "You remember my bike do you?"
Harry nodded and bit his lip before asking, "Whys you go 'way?"
Sirius frowned before answering, "I had something to take care of Leo, but I'm here now."
Albus interrupted calmly by saying, "Harry, Sirius, Remus, why don't we all sit down and discuss what to do with our little Leo while he's here?"
Harry grinned at Albus and said, "Okies Gwanpa."
Sirius and Remus seemed not to be at all surprised to the rest of the room and calmly sat down next to one another in chairs in front of Albus's desk. Harry followed them and instead of sitting with any of them crawled right up into Draco's lap, where he wrapped his little arms around the slightly startled blonde's neck and calmly smiled at everyone else.
Albus blinked and then asked, "Draco, is there something you'd like to tell us about your relationship with Mr. Potter?"
Draco sighed and said, "We weren't going to tell anyone just yet. I don't know why he's clinging to me now but I guess I can tell you now. We've been secretly dating since fifth year when I started spying. We were going to tell everyone soon, as we didn't want to keep hiding our relationship when there was no need to now that the war is over that is."
Albus just smiled and nodded while Ron and Hermione tried to collect their jaws off the floor. Sirius and Remus seemed to have a knowing glint in their eyes as if they'd already guessed, and Severus tried to look as though he were ticked off at the world. Albus quickly asked, "Severus do you know what kind of potion Harry took? Is there a way to get him back to his normal self?"
Severus nodded and said, "He somehow managed to create a de-aging potion. I should have recognized that shade of blue and the slight smell but I didn't until he started the de-aging process. His apparently appears to be perfect as it has reduced his mind to that of his actual four-year-old self. Which means the five months it will take me to brew the remedy, Hogwarts or Black and Lupin will have a four year old to take care of. He'll likely remember the entire situation as a trip he took when he was four years old when he comes back to his normal self. He'll be confused until it's explained and then he'll likely just view it the way the rest of us are."
Albus nodded and said, "Well then, Sirius, Remus, will you be able to handle Harry and the triplets or would you like Harry to stay here at the castle with us?"
Sirius answered almost immediately, "I think we can handle all four, but if you wouldn't mind Headmaster, if we could just stay here with him so that we would have help with him if we needed it."
Albus smiled and said, "Of course you can. I'll have a suite set up for the three of you with an extra nursery for the babies when they get here. Now why don't we all go down to the Great Hall for dinner, hmm?"
Everyone nodded and stood, Draco placing Harry down on the ground before getting up. Harry of course latched onto Draco's hand and allowed himself to be led down the stairs and out into the hall. The students of course had no idea what to think about the group they saw walking through the halls.
The Headmaster, their dreaded Potions Master, Sirius Black and his pregnant mate, their former professor Remus Lupin, all walking together while Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy and a slightly familiar boy followed them. The little boy happened to be a skipping and grinning Harry Potter, holding onto Draco's hand trying to convince the older boy to skip with him.
