New Adventures





Chapter One: Headaches and Twins



~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



Four years later. . . . .



"BRENTON GODRIC! BRADLEY ALBUS! ANDREW JAMES! ALEXANDER MERLIN! ANASTASIA SOLENNE! ANNABELLE LILY! YOU'RE ALL GROUNDED! ONE MONTH! NO BROOMS! NO TOY WANDS! NO LEAVING YOUR ROOMS! AND NO QUIDDITCH!"

Ahh, the sounds of Headmaster Harry Dumbledore-Evans-Potter-Snape's angry screams at his children. Just what have they done you ask? At ages eleven, seven (almost eight!) and three (almost four!), the three sets of twins had rigged the entire Great Hall full of pranks that had exploded simultaneously, resulting in various things happening at once. When the fog cleared, the elder six Potter-Snape children had been no where in sight, leaving behind one very pissed off student body, a slightly mad Papa, a furious Dad, and a Great-Great-Grandma on a war path.

Severus, unlike Harry and Minerva, was busy with the newest Potter-Snapes, Nathaniel Severus and Nicholas Harold. Nate and Nick were one years old, and were the lights of their Daddies' eyes. Both seemed to have yet again, Harry's unruly black hair, and his green eyes, unlike Alex and Drew though, while Nate and Nick had Harry's nose, the rest of them was Severus.

Anastasia and Annabelle both had long black hair, curly, but not unruly like Harry's. Both had surprisingly, purple eyes, with a tinge of blue around the edges. Harry and Severus had yet to figure out where their daughters' eyes came from, but they matched their personalities perfectly. Ana and Ari were both cheerful and uncontrollable three year olds, who had a love for life that had only been seen in Albus.

When Nate and Nick had been born, Harry told Severus that if he ever wanted more, Severus was having the next set as he couldn't handle doing that again. But back to the prank, you see, when the fog cleared, several things were noticeable at first. Every Slytherin was wearing red and gold robes, which matched their either red or gold hair, while their skin was bright pink.

The Ravenclaws had suddenly become dressed in various shades of neon colored robes, that flashed and sparkled, while their hair had been dyed purple, and their skin was blue. The Hufflepuffs appeared to have been dipped in Christmas wrapping paper, as their robes and hair were green, while their skin was red. The robes had various flying Dragon's and Griffin's on them as well.

The Gryffindor table was by far the worst, their hair was done in green, with silver streaks through it, while their robes were neon green, with silver snakes on them. Their skin was silver, with green spots on it. All of their shoes had been transfigured into fluffy green slippers, with silver bows on the front. And every third Gryffindor was covered in boils. Harry officially had a headache.

After waving his wand a few times, the boils disappeared from the Gryffindors, but no matter what he did, nothing else would disappear from any one else. Harry sighed and left everything in the hands of the Deputy Headmaster, Severus, as he picked up Nate and Nick before going to his office where he knew he would find six smiling, innocent looking children who had without a doubt heard his scream about being grounded.

Severus called after him mentally, 'Don't be too hard on them love, they were just giving the Gryffindor's a going away present. Tonight is the leaving feast after all, I'm sure Brad and Brent talked them into doing that little stunt as a final hurrah before they start school here.'

Harry retorted almost immediately, 'And not one single house is going to want them in their house after today! What if they get sorted into Gryffindor? That little stunt will not be easily forgotten.'

Harry could almost see Severus sighing and shaking his head, but Severus didn't say anything in return. Harry got to the stone gargoyle that led to his office and said the password for the day, "Lemon Drops!"

He had firmly decided to continue the family tradition of thoroughly annoying sweets as the passwords to get into his office, much to everyone else's amusement. Sighing, he got onto the staircase leading to the office, for once glad that Nick and Nate were heavy sleepers.

Opening his office door, he was met with a sight that wouldn't have fooled anyone. Brad, Brent, Alex, Drew, Annie and Stasia were sitting in chairs in front of their Dad's desk, hands folded on their knees, looking as though they had never done anything wrong in their entire lives.

Harry didn't even speak to them. He put Nate down in the crib next to Fawkes, who had refused to leave Harry or the Headmaster's office upon Albus's death those four years ago, before putting Nick down in the crib next to Nate's crib.

He sat down behind his desk and looked at his six children, idly wondering how long it would take them to realize he already knew it had been them, and that they were in more trouble then they had been in, in quite a while.

Harry still remembered the day, two years ago, they slipped Mrs. Norris a de-aging potion. She had turned into a loveable kitten that did absolutely nothing for Argus Flich, who had resigned on the spot as he had, as he put it, 'had enough of these little brats for one lifetime!'

Finding another caretaker had not been easy, but had eventually found one in a cousin of Neville Longbottom's, Patrick Longbottom had now taken over the position, and was just as effective as Argus had been.

Of course that prank had mostly been Brad, Brent and Alex, Drew had been too busy helping Harry with Annie and Stasia at the time. Drew, for some reason, was still the first one to crack when Harry leveled glances at his children. He had, somehow, become much like his husband when it came to handling the six trouble markers, while Severus would almost let them get away with murder.

Drew smiled timidly at Harry and said, "I suppose we should go apologize?"

Harry nodded and said, "All of you will apologize at the Leaving Feast tonight, and you will tell me how in Merlin's name I'm supposed to get those curses off my students! I'll not have my office filled with owls from overly excitable parents! Not to mention there's a fair number of Muggle- born students, whom I may have to personally deliver if I can't get those off! Can you imagine what would happen if the Muggles saw all that? If you want to pull pranks like that, for Merlin's sake! Do so at the Sorting Feast! Not the last day the students will be here!"

Drew looked down at his hands, ashamed he'd just gotten his Daddy into trouble. Annie and Stasia looked down as well, knowing that half of those letters would be howlers, and they weren't looking forward to it. Alex looked at Harry, biting his lip and said, "We're sorry Daddy, we didn't mean to get you in trouble."

Harry nodded and said, "I accept your apology Alex. However, all of you are going to go into my library right now, and work on improving your Latin for a while, Papa said you were all doing quite well in it."

At that, Brent and Brad brightened considerably and Brad said, "Papa said Brent and I should move up a level in the books we're using Dad."

Harry smiled and said, "Well then you had best move up a book. Now get out of my office, I've got a hoard of owls to read and respond to before the students get home, and yet another year of Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Applications to go through. I simply can't believe it's so utterly hard to hang onto teachers that are for that subject. If you need me or Papa or Grandma just let us know, there's the fire-caller in there if you need it. Don't try to floo out of there again, I've warded against it and you won't like where you end up if you try to."

Annie and Stasia rushed behind the desk and gave Harry kisses and hugs before leaving and calling a short 'bye bye Daddy' behind them. Alex and Drew both gave him hugs, but not the kisses as they were starting to feel 'too old' for 'that mushy stuff' as they so often told Harry and Severus.

Brent and Brad followed their younger brother's examples, before ushering them both into the small private library adjacent to Harry's office. Harry sighed, looked at the horrendous pile of letters waiting to be answered, the applications to be looked over, and nearly groaned before starting to attack the pile.

Later that evening Harry and Severus walked back to their rooms with their children to get ready for the Leaving Feast, thankful the students would all leave the next day. Somehow during the day, Severus, Minerva and Draco managed to get the hexes and charms off the students completely, so they would all be going home hex free. Making Harry's day a little brighter of course.

Severus was carrying Nate and Nick, who were wide-awake and looking all around at every little sign of magic. Harry was carrying an almost asleep Drew, and a sleeping Annie. Stasia was barely able to walk down the hall, but managed with the help of her older brothers, Brent and Brad. Alex was almost skipping down the hall between Harry and Severus, unable to hide his excitement for the upcoming feast.

Harry idly wondered if they had planned yet another prank. Harry was just thankful he hadn't allowed Severus and their children to talk him into having yet another set of twins just yet. He certainly wouldn't mind having more in a few years, that is, once he didn't have to watch all of his children all of the time and concentrate on being Headmaster.

He silently thanked Merlin that Draco had brought along his wife Paige, who quite often brought the Malfoy children up to his office to sit in the library with the Potter-Snape children, keeping them out of his hair for a while. He still wasn't sure how Paige did it, she for certain had it worse than he did, he was sure of that. Dominic was six, Amber was five, Moira and Megan were four, Leopold was three, Gabriella was one (almost two) and little Henri was barely two months old.

And to think Draco used to tease the Weasley's about the sheer size of their family, while his own was equal in size to theirs already, and he himself was the same age as Harry, twenty-six. Luckily for Draco, Paige, Harry and Severus, their children got along incredibly well. It was officially a long-standing joke in the castle, that if you wanted to find one of the Malfoys, you just had to find a Potter-Snape, and your chances of finding them almost tripled.

That's not to say that their children didn't have other friends as well of course. Dean and Seamus Finnigan lived in Hogsmeade, owning and living above Honeydukes with their two children, Sebastian who was six, and Charlotte who was two. Sebastian and Charlotte often used the secret passage to Hogwarts to spend the day with the Potter-Snapes and the Malfoys.

Ron and Hermione Weasley lived in Hogsmeade as well, in a relatively normal sized house, with their children. Ron worked as an Auror, while Hermione worked as the Head of the Research Department in the Ministry. They had three children, Arthur who was five, Heidi who was three, and Emily who had just turned one. Heidi and Emily often stayed with Molly Weasley, but when she couldn't watch them, they stayed with Harry or Paige for the day.

Neville and Ginny Longbottom lived next door to Ron and Hermione, where Ginny was happily producing a nice clan of Longbottom's, and Neville went to work as a Herbology Specialist in the Magical Plants Department at the Ministry. Harry had him reserved for when Anna Sprout decided to retire to come teach Herbology at Hogwarts. They currently had five children, Molly who had just turned six years old, Frank who was just about to turn five, Catherine and Caitlyn were three, and Albert was just six months old.

Once in their rooms, Harry and Severus brought Nate and Nick into their room while they change, sending Brent, Brad, Alex, Drew, Annie and Stasia off to get dressed on their own. After quickly getting themselves ready, they got Nate and Nick ready before the other six were even out of their rooms. Severus sat with Nate and Nick, as they were close to falling asleep, to wait for the rest of them.

Annie and Stasia came out first, and needed mild adjustments to be ready for the leaving Feast. Harry adjusted Annie's new purple robes while casting the spell to fix Stasia's hair at the same time. Once they were done Harry fixed Alex and Drew's hair with a spell before sitting all four of them down next to Severus. Rather then waiting for them, Harry went to Brent and Brad's room and found them both ready to come out. Smiling, Harry was glad that he didn't have to fix anything on either of them.

Severus handed Harry little Nate, while he and Nick started for the door. As with any formal event held at the school, the rest of the children followed almost immediately, Annie and Stasia walked immediately behind Severus and Nick, followed by Brent and Drew, who were followed by Brad. Harry took up the rear holding Nate, and holding onto Alex's hand.

It didn't take them long to get to the Great Hall, and when they did they immediately arranged their chairs. Slightly behind Harry and Severus' chairs were two highchairs for Nate and Nick, who were immediately put in them. Annie sat on the other side of Harry, while Stasia sat on the other side of Severus. Next to Annie sat Drew, next to him was Alex, next to him was Brent, and next to him was Brad.

The Malfoy Family sat next to Brad, Next to them sat the Defense Professor that was leaving this year, Melanie Moody, Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody's daughter. Anna Sprout was next to her, who was seated next to their new Divinations Professor, Lavender Brown. Next to Lavender was her four year old daughter, Natalie, who's father had mysteriously disappeared when Lavender found she was with child. Lavender had also agreed to take on Head of House responsibilities for Gryffindor.

Harry had only been too happy to fire Sybill, and happy to have Lavender teach the subject instead. Celestial Sinstra sat next to her, the Astronomy Professor, and next to her sat Blaise Zabini, the new Ancient Runes Professor. Blaise's wife, Bethany, was sitting next to Blaise and talking happily with the Charms Professor, Filius Flitwick. Bethany had taken over the Muggle Studies position. Next to Annie sat Minerva, who was talking with Annie in Latin about how her day had been to get some actual practice for her.

Next to Minerva was Emily Hooch, the Quidditch Coach and Flying Instructor. History of Magic had finally gotten a new professor in Harry's second year as Headmaster of Hogwarts. That professor, Colin Creevey, was sitting next to Emily with his family. His wife, who had been Emma Dobbs, had been in his brother's year at Hogwarts.

In her lap was their one year old, Amy, and next to her were their other children, Harry (Six years old), Brian (Four years old), Laura (Three years old) and Thomas (Two years old). For some reason, Harry rather liked that almost all of his professors had children and small families there at the school with them.

Poppy Pomfrey, still the ever-brutal Hospital Matron, was sitting on the other side of the Creevey family and chatting with Patrick Longbottom, the ever-diligent school caretaker. Next to him was Stewart Ackerley, who was the new school Librarian, as Cynthia Prince had retired three years earlier after Albus's Death. Stewart had been rather desperate to come back to Hogwarts at the time, as he missed it, and was now happy with the decision as Patrick and he were now dating.

On the other side of Stewart was their Arithmancy Professor, Victoria Vector, who was sitting patiently waiting for the ceremony while trying to ignore her husband, Vincent and their four children who were arguing over something the children wanted to do instead of being at the feast. Their children were Antony (six years old), Renee (four years old), Rachel (Renee's twin, four years old), and Owen (three years old).Vincent worked at the Ministry, but used a system of portkeying to and from Hogsmede where he apparated to the Ministry so he could be with Victoria.

The students finally all filed in and Harry stood to make his end of the year speech shortly after they had all taken their seats. Harry smiled at all of the students before taking a deep breath and saying, "Before we start tonight, my children have something to say to all of you. Brenton, Bradley, Andrew, Alexander, Annabelle, and Anastasia. . . ."

They stood from their seats and said in almost perfect unison, "We're very sorry to have almost ruined your summers. We won't do it again."

Harry rolled his eyes as they sat down and then continued, "Once again, another year has passed. I'm pleased to say that this year's House Cup isn't going to the normal receivers of it, but to a house that hasn't won in quite a while. Coming in fourth place, is Ravenclaw, with 250 points. Coming in third place is Slytherin, with 283 points. Coming in second place is Gryffindor, with 285 points. And the winner of the House Cup this year is Hufflepuff, with 290 points. I must say, I've never seen such a tight contest. Congratulations Hufflepuff, strive to do the same next year!"

Harry clapped his hands as he said, "A little change of scenery does us all a little good, don't you think?"

Harry smiled as the Hufflepuff House colors appeared, and the Hufflepuff's cheered and then Harry continued, "Now, all of you have a wonderful summer, and empty your heads up for next year so we can fill them up again! Everyone eat up, and enjoy the train ride home tomorrow!"

Harry clapped his hands once again and the food appeared just as he sat down. He couldn't help but smile, another year had gone by, next year Brent and Brad started their Hogwarts year, and the first years he had started with would be in their fifth year as Hogwarts students.

He was rather looking forward to their OWL results, knowing it would be a true sign of how well the school was doing under his leadership. Now if he could just make it through the summer without his darling children giving him another headache. . . . .
