~*~*~*Last Chapter

They played an excellent game of quidditch. Then they all went in having found the house-elves had made dinner, and Severus, Jacob, Dudley and Kara were all sitting and chatting while waiting for Harry and the girls to come back in. They all sat down and ate their dinner. After dinner the girls read for a bit, then went to bed. Severus and Harry were both in bed and sleeping silently as they were both exhausted from earlier that day.

~*~*~*~Chapter 3-

The next morning Harry and Severus were awoken quite suddenly, by being bombarded by three excited little girls.

"Daddy!!!!!!!!"

"Dad!!!!!!"

"Father!!!!!!!!"

They all screamed in unison.

"Can we go to Diagon Ally today?"

"Please!"

"Yeah! We want to get our animals today!"

"I want a snake!"

"No! An owl!"

"No a cat!"

"ENOUGH!" Severus yelled and the girls backed away a bit.

"Girls, can you please give us a while, we just woke up. And I'm afraid your father is still in a little pain from yesterday." Harry said while grinning. Sev scowled.

"Why does Father hurt Daddy?" Naomi asked.

"Never mind that, you three go get your breakfast, and why don't you see if Jacob wants to come with us?"

"Okay!" and they all ran from the room, giggling and talking excitedly.

"A snake?"

"You promised them Sev, they could get what the wanted and if, Apolla wants a snake, then she can have one." Sev groaned.

"Next time I'm bottoming?" Harry teased him. Severus just rolled his eyes at his husband's antics.

Half-hour later, Harry was exiting his room, when an upset Jacob came running toward him. "Uncle Harry!!!"

"What is it Jacob?"

Through sobs, Jacob replied. "The girls said that when they learn magic they are going to turn me into a pig! And..." He sobbed.

"Really? Its alright Jacob, they won't harm you." He said while soothing the upset boy. "What else did they do?"

"They ripped my summer homework in half." He said, while showing Harry his ruined homework.

Harry whipped out his wand and muttered a spell and the homework was repaired.

Harry was not impressed one bit.

Jacob went off in search of his mother.

"GIRLS!!!!" Harry's voice echoed throughout the house.

Harry heard whispers behind one of the closets.

"I told you we shouldn't..."

"Its his fault!"

"Yeah Apolla, honestly, he pulled my hair!"

"Oh calm down Nova, that's all you ever think about is your stupid hair, your stupid looks! You'll probably end up a Hufflepuff!"

"What? You'll probably end up a...a...stupid Slytherin!"

"Better than a Hufflepuff!"

"Will you two just stop it, we should be being quiet! Daddy is probably..."

Harry opened the door.

"Looking for us." Naomi finished.

"Uh...Hi Daddy." Nova exclaimed.

"I want an explanation. Now!" Harry explained his face was red with anger.

"He pulled my hair!"

"I didn't do anything!"

"It was his fault!"

"I didn't do anything I swear!"

"He pulled my hair he did! I had all rights to do what was done."

"Yeah it was his fault! He's a stupid muggle I don't see why he has to live with us!"

"Naomi, Nova, and Apolla, I have had enough of this, you have been bickering with each other, and picking on your cousin. He may be a muggle but he is still your relative you got that. And Naomi, if I ever, ever, hear you say anything indecent about muggle's or muggleborns again, you will be grounded for longer then you can imagine." Harry finished.

Harry's face then softened and the girls looked like they were going to cry. Severus walked in the room.

"What's going on Harry?" He asked, with concern at the looks on their daughter's faces.

"I'll tell you later. Come on girls lets get ready to go." Harry finished, and Severus and the girls knew that this discussion was over.

"Daddy...I'm sorry." Nova said, then tiny tears started flowing from her eyes.

"Oh Nova, its alright, don't cry bunny." Harry said, using her nickname that he gave her, then bent down and hugged her.

Soon the four of them were on their way to Diagon Alley, Kara said she didn't want Jacob going because he wouldn't "fit in" as she put it. Severus went first, threw the fireplace, to make sure the girls got there safely. Then Nova, Naomi, and Apolla, then Harry went last.

Everyone got there fine.

First they all got their wands, the girls were very excited about this. Apolla's took the longest.

She ended up trying at least 50 different wands, she finally was settled on Oak, strong, 9½", dragon heartstring, and good for curses.

Naomi's went by much faster only about 5 wands were tried, before she ended up with Yew, 8", vela hair, and good for charms.

Nova got hers on the 20th try, flexible, mahogany, 10", unicorn hair, brilliant for defence.

All the girls were very excited; Nova was a bit intimidated by Mr. Ollivander. She clung to Sev's robes on the way out trembling, and when Mr. Ollivander tried to shake her hand she screamed and started crying, as she tried to get into Severus' arms. Severus soon gave in and picked her up.

That was when Harry decided cheerfully that they should all get ice cream, this didn't cheer Nova up at all, and she just clung onto Severus, not wanting to let go. Severus cooed her and tried to calm her down. Severus looked to Harry for help; Harry just gave him an encouraging smile.

"Why don't we go get the animals you all want now?" Harry asked as they left the ice cream parlour. This cheered up Nova right away.

They entered the shop; Apolla went to the snakes, Naomi to the cats, Nova to the owls.

Nova was still attached to Sev, so he was dragged along; when Nova decided she wanted a Ghost Owl.

"Why do you want a barn owl?" Sev asked her.

"It's a Ghost Owl!" She said.

"Sure alright then."

Over in the snake section, Harry was giving a show for Apolla in his ability to talk to them.

"I want to try!" Harry laughed, "Okay give it a try then." What happened next scared him half to death, Naomi came up behind then and spoke. In parslemouth. Apolla made no sense she was just making weird hissing noises.

"I can do that Daddy." Naomi said in parsletongue.

Harry's jaw dropped, "Why didn't you ever tell me?"

"I thought you knew, I always talk to the snakes in the gardens."

"Severus!" Harry hollered across the shop to Sev.

He walked over with Nova still attached to his arm. Nova her new ghost owl perched on her shoulder.

"It appears we have another parslemouth on our hands." Harry stated.

"Who? Apolla?"

"No." She answered glumly.

Severus looked confused.

"ME!" Naomi said looking proud.

"Why don't the rest of you chose your animals, then we'll get the rest of the supplies we still have to get your potion ingredients and your robes." Severus said.

Naomi got a cat that went threw a cycle of four different colors, every week it was a different color, right now it was blue.

Apolla got a python (snake) she claimed it was cute and the shopkeeper warned her that it was only a little snake and that it could grow as much as 9 meters long, and Apolla just explained that she would shrink it a little if she had to. The shopkeeper looked appalled, and Harry quickly explained that she was only joking and hurried the girls out of the shop.

Harry and Severus got the girls the rest of their supplies then they went to the Leaky Cauldron to grab some dinner.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom Daddy." Naomi said, and left the table.

Ten minutes later when she hadn't returned Harry got worried and asked the matron at the bar if she could check the ladies room for her.

She came back out and said there was no one in there. Harry paled.
