My heart will go on
Chapter seven
Harry hadn't really recovered from the shock or the heartache but he had suppressed it, he couldn't afford to break down, not when his fiancées future was determined on him being strong. He had to be strong for his family, if he wasn't who would be?
The one who kept him strong throughout was Hermione, despite having her own son to look after she was there and willing to help Harry raise his daughters as well. Since Draco had been wrongly sent to Azkaban, he had become a single parent, of triplets, he was finding it hard to cope.
Hermione had gone to visit a friend for the day, this left Harry alone. He had run out of milk over lunch and the instant milk that they had left never seemed to stay down so Harry was going to have to brave the outside world alone.
He dressed each girl in different coloured jump suits and bundled them in blankets. He didn't want to put them at risk to catch anything. He thought he was completely insane trying to take out three-month-old babies alone.
He placed them in the triple stroller he and Draco had purchased just before their birth and made it so they were laying down. He hoped they would either go to sleep or just lie there happily without making to much noise.
With the use of magic because the stroller wouldn't fit through the door they managed to start the long walk to the centre of town where the shops were. It was a slow walk as Harry hadn't realised how hard pushing the buggy with three children would be.
When they finally reached the shops he was exhausted, the lack of sleep he had been getting since Draco left finally getting to him.
Leaving the stroller outside, he placed the triplets in a triple seat trolley. He thought he may as well get supplies for the rest of the week as well.
It was as he wandered round he caught sight of an old school friend, Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnegan. Harry couldn't help but smile as he went up to them.
"Hey guy's how you been."
They turned around in shock, the last they heard Harry was mute and lived at his parent's old house with Hermione; they hadn't been given the update. They had however heard about Draco.
"Harry oh my god it's good to see you." Seamus said hugging his old friend.
"Yeah, how are you...the last we heard...?"
"I'm doing ok, I have a family now, this is Hannah Holley and Halley." He pointed at the twins in the trolley seats.
"Oh wow, who's the mother, is it Hermione?"
"No, they were born through male pregnancy, I'm the mother."
"Then who's the other father?"
"It's...Draco."
"Ok...didn't he just get sent to Azkaban for trying to resurrect Voldermort?"
"He didn't do it, he couldn't have, you can't perform dark magic at Godric's hollow, it's his father."
"How are you coping, it must be hard...on your own and all."
"I have Hermione who incidentally has her own son, we manage, but if you ever want to come round you'll always be welcome. You could come back for tea now if you wanted."
"You know what, that would be nice, how about it Seam?"
"Of course Dean."
"Are you guys dating?" Harry asked, making the other two blush and nod. "Congratulations."
They purchased the rest of the things they needed and Seamus and dean helped Harry carry t he shopping home while he pushed the triplets. However when the reached Godric hollow there was someone sitting on the doorstep waiting to be let in.
For an instant Harry suspended reality, he thought it was Draco, then he realised that he couldn't have escaped Azkaban. He stopped and turned to his friends.
"Take the girls, wait for me, this won't take a minute."
They nodded hesitantly and watched as he approached the blonde woman standing on his doorstep.
