CHAPTER 44: Summer Starts
To say the group was relived that school was out would be an understatement. They had all done well on there final exams, as did there students. Their kids were just as happy to have school end being they would have a lot more time with there parents.
"So, have the two of you planed a date for your wedding yet?" Harry asked sitting down on the couch in their house in Grodics Hollow.
"Well, we have been thinking about it, maybe towards the end of this summer." Hermione said a glint of dream in her eyes.
"Well if that's the case, you two better start planning!" Ginny grinned.
"If you want a nice long honeymoon anyways." Harry added.
"Speaking of honeymoons are you two packed?" Hermione asked.
"No, we just got unpacked, I hate packing." Ginny mumbled.
"I know sweetheart, I'll pack for you if you want me to." Harry kissed her forehead.
"Oh no you don't, I always end up having to go behind you to make sure you pack everything you need." Ginny growled, then smiled again, I'm hungry, let's eat!" Harry rolled his eyes and watched his wife jump up and run to the kitchen to talk to the house elfs.
"Daddy, can we go on the hunmoon to?" Lily asked crawling into Harry's lap.
"Yeah daddy, I want go." Daniel squealed climbing up beside his sister.
"No, you two are going to stay with your Aunt Hermione, Uncle Ron and Uncle Draco." Ginny walked back in with a large smile and a large sub sandwich in both hands.
"But I want to go!" Daniel wailed, tears forming in his eyes, Lily followed along.
"Oh but your going to have so much fun," Hermione smiled. "We are going to go to Diagon Alley and to the park."
"Can I slide?" Lily asked her tears instantly coming to a halt.
"Of course." Ron grinned.
"Can I swing?" Daniel exclaimed.
"You betcha." Hermione put her head in Ron's.
"Go NOW!" Both kids yelled sliding off Harry's lap and running over to Hermione and Ron.
"Come on An-Mony, un-Won!" Lily grabbed Harmione's hand and started to pull her to the door.
"Not right now, sweetie. Why don't you two go upstairs and play with Soroush, Julie and John."
"But we wanna go!" Daniel burst out in tears. Come on you two, upstairs." Harry picked both of them up under each of his arms and took them upstairs. On his way down he made sure that the stairs anti-falling spell was in place, before he joined the other adults downstairs again.
The group began to talk about their plans when two things happened at once. What sounded like a stampede was coming down the stairs and a owl caring the Daily Prophet flew in.
"Daddy, Mommy!" Five kids yelled running into the room. Draco grabbed the paper, his face went pale as he began to read.
"Mommy, we can't go to the park today," Julie cried.
"Something bad happened," Daniel added. All five children had tears running down their faces.
"What's the matter?" Harry asked.
"Bad, something bad." John yelled.
"A park was attacked this morning, by death eaters." Draco whispered loud enough for the adults to hear.
"Lusius is gaining power then." Hermione sat down on the couch.
"Was anyone killed?" Ron asked.
"No kids, but the parents of a Tina Smith were killed. She is seven months old and has to go to an orphanage," Draco sat down also.
"That's horrible." Ginny cried, tears running down her cheeks. "Harry let's adopt her."
"What?" Harry asked, his face growing pale. "Honey, I would say yes, but we already have two and another on the way."
"Then I should, I want a child, and it's partly my fault that she has no family." Draco whispered, then stood up. "I will go right now."
"Draco, you should think this through. Having a baby is a big task," Hermione held his arm. "And what your father does is NOT your fault!" Draco ignored the last statement.
"I have been thinking about adopting anyway, this is my perfect chance."
"Well then, I'll go with you." Harry grinned, standing up.
"We go?" Lily asked in a small voice.
"Sure, let's get you dressed to go out." Within twenty minutes, the whole house was ready to go.
"Thank you guys for backing me up." Draco smiled.
"No problem, how are we traveling?"
"How about Floo?"
"Okay Lily, Daniel hug on to my leg." The three stepped into the fireplace. "Saint Ann's Orphanage!" With that they were gone. The rest of the house followed closely behind.
"Welcome to Saint Ann's Orphanage, My name is Jessie, how may I help you?" A tall friendly looking lady with black hair and brown eyes asked.
"Hi, My name is Harry Potter, and my friend here, Mr. Draco Malfoy would like to adapt Tina Smith." Harry grinned, while placing a arm around Dracos shoulder.
"Honey, I'm sure Draco can speak for himself." Ginny stated, as she made Harry back up, Draco rolled his eyes.
"You-your Harry Potter? THE Harry Potter?" It was Harry's turn to role his eyes. No matter how many times it happened, he kept forgetting what happens when he introduced himself. Before she could ask THE question, he casually moved his bangs off his face so that his scar showed for a second.
"Wow, right this way!" Jessie jumped up and began to walk swiftly into the main part of the orphanage; the large family had to move fast to keep up with her. They were led into a conference room with a large table, chairs and toys surrounding it. The five kids gave yelps of glee and ran for the toys, as the exhausted parents sat down at the table. A dark woman in a long dress, carrying a baby walked into the room.
"Hi, My name is Cynthia, I run this orphanage, and I hear one of you are interested in adapting Tina?" The woman asked with a kind smile.
"Yes, I would." Draco waved. Cynthia placed Tina in his arms.
"So tell me about yourself, are any of these little ones yours?"
"Well sort of. It's kind of a long story, Lily over there is biologically mine but Harry adapted her. A spell gone wrong left all of us except Ginny here pregnant in our fifth year at Hogwarts. At the time I was still living in a bad home, no place for a baby to be raised, so Harry adapted her for me. We all live together now, and I would like a child of my own." Julie walked up to Draco.
"Un Dra-co, what's that?" She pointed at the baby in Draco's arms.
"This is a baby, named Tina."
"Really? Was I ever that small Un Dra-co?"
"Yes you were, and as cute as can be."
"Can I hold her?"
"Well not right now but maybe later, okay Julie?"
"Okay!" With that she pulled up a toy train and sat down on the floor by Dracos legs. Draco smiled, and looked down at the baby in his arms, he was startled to find she was awake and smiling.
"Awa-ba-ba-na-ba!" Tina yelled waving her arms. Daniel looked up from his toy.
"Un-dra-co, she want bottle, can't her dwink fum cup?"
"She wants a bottle huh? She can't drink from cups yet, she's not old enough."
"Oh."
"AWA-BA-BA-NA-BA!" Tina began to cry.
"You wouldn't happen to have a bottle would you?" Draco asked Cynthia.
"Yes, let me go get one." Two minutes later, she was back bottle in hand. Draco quickly began to feed her, Tina smiled her thank you."
"So you all live together." Cynthia asked. "Will Tina have a room? What about supplies?"
"Oh we have a very large house, when she's old enough she will have her own room, until then we have a nursery. These little ones were her age not to long ago, so we have a bunch of cribs bottles, clothes, toys and everything else she could need.
"Well then, I don't see a problem. Let me get you the paper work and you can go home with your new child."
(A/N: I know it takes ALOT more then that to adopt a child, but for this story...besides this is in the magic world, it's easier there! LOL!)
