CHAPTER TEN: Back to School

The ministry sent vans over this year to pick up the three teens on special request from Dumbledore. The Weasley's loaded all of their school and baby things in to the vans whilst the teens got their kids ready to move. It was early in the morning on September the first, and the trio were all very excited and nervous. Had they signed up for more then they could handle? Surly if Hermione could handle taking all those classes in her third year, they could handle this. But none of them were sure. They had written Draco, and explained to him what they were going to say, he wrote back quickly in agreement. Dumbledore had set up the tutoring program for Gryffindor, and gave Harry the right to have his team do anything he wanted them to do. He also gave Harry a list of things that needed volunteers. Soon the teens found themselves walking through King Cross, with a lot more things then they normally carried and a lot more people too. They all stepped through the barrier between platforms nine and ten and did not talk to anyone. Everyone stopped and stared at them as they walked towards the end of the train where their special car stood. On the door a sign stated:

Mr. Harry Potter,

Mrs. Hermione Granger

Mr. Ronald Weasley

and Company

They found a train worker guarding the door to make sure none of the other students tried to get in. The worker with the name badge saying 'Frank' smiled at the trio and quickly helped the group load their things into the car. They buckled their kids into their car seats, and then buckled the car seats into the seats of the car. Once they had finished, the worker sat down in a seat by the door. The trio sat down in the other seats and fell asleep. They all awoke an hour later to hear a baby start to cry. Harry motioned for them to go back to sleep, he would take care of the crying baby. He felt bad because he had a feeling he would not be there much for his kids (He considered all of them his kids) this school year. The babies were now a month and one day old. The babies could all now lift there heads slightly, and would respond to their voices. Lily, Daniel, John could now smile, and laugh, where Soroush and Julie could now follow objects with there eyes. And make noises like ohh, and ahh. Harry stayed up for the next three hours feeding, burping, changed and playing with the five children. After getting them all asleep again, he sat down in his spot, and fell asleep again. Three hours later, they were all awake again, when the babies started to once again cry. Hermione took the next care, and Ron after her. They did this all day long, until it got dark. Darkness was their signal that they would be entering Hogwarts Station soon and that they needed to change into their robes. They got dressed, and then got everything that had been unpacked, packed back up. They were ready when they finally entered the station. The trio and the other Weasley kids, along with the train worker helped them get all their things off the train and they headed to their carriage, they met Hagrid on the way.

"Hey Hagrid!" Harry yelled getting his attention away from the amazed and nervous first years gathering around him.

"Harry! Hermione! Ron! How are ya? Are these your young ones?" He waved his gentle hands at the babies in the seats.

"Yep." Harry nodded and smiled. Hagrid looked lovingly at all five of the babies. A small tear ran down his cheek.

"You are young to be having babies, but I know they will be in the best of hands. They will be great wizards and witches, I know it." Hagrid strained up, and looked around at the first years. "All the teachers know so don't you be worrying about us. Now get on, before you miss your carriage." They waved goodbye and walked over to the large and very full carriage.

The trio kept hold of their babies, and their baby bags and were instructed to go straight to Dumbledore's office. Their things would be sent up to there rooms. They walked off to the door that led up to Dumbledore's chambers and stared at the Gargoyle. Not sure what the password was, they just knocked. The door opened immediately, and they walked up the narrow steps. Dumbledore smiled at them, with a twinkle in his eye as the still exhausted parents sat down.

"I'm glad to see you all made it here alright. The trip was uneventful I expect?" They group nodded, and smiled. "You three look so tired, you will be happy to know that I have two Nannies hired and the House Elves Dobby and Winky have volunteered to help out too. They were very insistent on the fact, to be truthful. Okay I will go in to the great hall, you three are to go on in and sit at the front of the table where there is room to put the babies down." Dumbledore smiled and left the room, the trio looked at each other with unease, and followed behind him. They walked into the Great Hall and all went silent, as the room stopped to stare at the three well-known students walked down the hall with babies in hands. Daniel and Julie seemed to sense the attention they were getting, and did not like it because they suddenly burst in to tears. The teens moved faster to their seats near the teacher's table and placed their bundles down on the table. Harry and Hermione quickly picked up the crying babies, gave them a pacifier, and rocked them back and forth, as they sat down on the long bench. The room floated with whispers, and rumors started to fly immediately. But it did not last long, because soon the room went quite again, as McGonagall lead the first years in to be sorted.

Gryffindor got five new students, Hufflepuff got six, Ravenclaw three, and Slytherin; much to the rest of the schools chagrin, only got one new member. Before talking could resume, Dumbledore stood up to make his pre-feast speech.

"Welcome, all to a new year at Hogwarts. Let me remind you that the Forbidden Forest is off limits to ALL students. Now some of you have noticed something unusual about three sixth years at the Gryffindor table. Yes those are real babies they are caring for. As most of you know last year there was an accident in the Library, some one cast a spell. Everyone the spell touched, had whatever spell they were last talking about or reading about happen. Well, Mr. Potter, Mrs. Granger, and Mr. Weasley happened to be looking through spells to help in our fight against Voldemort and came across quite an unusual spell that would make anyone pregnant. Unfortunately that was when the accident happened, and all three teenagers found themselves bearing children. Mr. Potter who is Prefect, and Quidditch team captain this year, had twins, a boy and a girl, Mrs. Granger who is a Prefect also had twins, a girl and a boy, and Mr. Weasley who is the other Gryffindor Prefect had a boy. This is why these three were sick all the time last year. Now some of you are wondering about Mr. Malfoy, who was also sick last year. He happened to be near the table, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Granger were sitting at, and heard there conversation, however the spell only partly touched him, therefore he had all the symptoms of being pregnant, with out actually being. Now, that you have heard there story, you will leave them alone about it, and help them out however you can, these three teenagers have found themselves in a position no teenager should have to be in, they are parents. Now without further ado, let's eat!" He waved his hands and food appeared on all the tables. Platters of anything and everything were everywhere.

The trio did not get to eat much of the great meal. Harry found himself grabbing Baggies out of his baby bag and filling them with food, so that they could eat later. There time was spent trying to get their babies to calm down. They were not used to so many people and the amount of noise in the new place. None of the babies were interested in eating. There was too much to see and they cried to be held and the parents complied. Soon dinner was over, and Dumbledore was giving his last minute announcements. The trio quickly got the babies back in their seats, and everything in their bags.

"...Now will prefects please take the students to their common room?" With that everyone stood up at once. The trio quickly grabbed their things, and got their groups of Gryffindors together and led them to the picture of the fat lady.

Harry got there first with the first years, and smiled at the fat lady who looked down at the two babies in his arms.

"Something you want to tell me Mr. Potter?" Harry smiled.

"Of course." Knowing full well she was talking about the babies. "Abra Kadabra." Harry grinned, at the stern looking picture, the door opened. "And this is the Gryffindor Common room." He told them where to find their beds, and that their things were already there. Meanwhile...

Hermione was talking to Ron as they walked with the rest of their group to the common room. Hermione stepped up to the picture; the Fat Lady 's eyes bulged at seeing three more babies.

"What IS going on here, has the entire Gryffindor house been acting naughty back here? I won't stand for it, Professor McGonagall WILL be hearing about this." The lady looked like she was going to faint. Hermione and Ron rolled their eyes as the rest of the house giggled.

"Abra Kadabra." Hermione and Ron stated at the same time, the door opened, and the house filed in. Harry was sitting on the couch waiting for them when they walked in.

"Why aren't you in your room?" Hermione asked, placing her bundles on the couch beside Harry's.

"Do you have any idea where it is? I have looked down every hall and have yet to find it. I'm thinking it's in a hidden passage, but I'm to tired to look for it anymore." Harry mumbled. Before they could answer, Professor McGonagall walked into the room, glancing back behind her at the picture who was still yelling at her for letting the kids get pregnant. McGonagall shook her head and sighed, she looked over at the three parents.

"Why aren't you getting settled in your rooms? Your Nannies are waiting to meet you." The very flustered McGonagall asked.

"Well, we were never told where the room is and... well we're just to exhausted to get up and look for it." Harry mumbled his eyes barely open.

"Good gracious. I'm sorry I meant to tell you earlier, follow me." She got up and walked over to a picture of Godric Gryffindor, the founder of their house, and said her name, the picture opened, the trio slowly walked in. "It will only let certain people in to the room, you will have to invite anyone else you want in, in. Your names are on your bedroom door, I trust you can find them." With that she walked out, and the painting shut behind her, they were amazed to see that they could see right through the painting into the Common room. The group looked around to see all of their babies' things had been set up already. The trio placed the babies seats down and picked up the babies themselves. They all had beeping noises coming from their diapers. Placing them all on there own changing tables, they started to change the diapers, half a sleep. They were about halfway done with their first one, when two women ran out of two different rooms up to the teens.

"My oh my! You three look exhausted! I bet none of you has gotten more then three hours sleep at a time in over a month have you? Well we can handle this. You three get to bed, we can take it from here." A large woman in a brown dress stated taking the dirty diaper away from Ron and carefully shoving him away. He did not fight it.

"Who are you?" Ron asked, with a yawn.

"Where your nannies of course. You three will have your hands full this year we will help out a lot, don't you worry." A tall very thin lady with glasses answered. "My name is Mrs. Figg, but you can call me Arabella." At this, Harry finally opened his eyes; he had not realized he had them shut.

"You're..." He started at a loss for words.

"Yes, Harry, your old baby-sitter." Harry just shook his head, trying to figure out if he was seeing and hearing correctly.

"And I am Mrs. Wesinger, but you can call me Susan." The three shook hands with their new Nannies. "Okay, say goodnight to your little ones, and go to sleep." The three looked down at their babies. This would be their first time away from them, even just in the next room. "I promise no harm will come to them. They will still be here tomorrow, now scoot." They did not have to tell them again. They all dragged themselves to their separate rooms, and, without even looking around they were asleep before they hit their pillow. For the first time in a month they got to sleep the entire night.
