Chapter 57: The Kids
It had been four days since Hermione and Ron had left for their honeymoon and the Potter house could now be considered an organized mess. Kids everywhere, adults chasing them, laughing, crying...the days seemed to never end. Harry sat down on the couch to take a breather when an idea struck him. Everyday Draco woke up at the same time, fed his daughter then took a shower himself as Harry or Ginny took Tina into the playroom. Draco looked increasingly tired with his nine-month-old child, who was trying to stand on her own. Harry decided to brighten his mood up a bit. Harry checked his watch and found he had thirty minutes until Draco would leave his room to shower. Harry got up with a groan and walked over to the fireplace where he called for Mr. Weasley, who was now being called dad.
"Harry! What can I do for you, son?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"I need to barrow your video camera, I am going to pull a prank on the kids, and I want there expression to be filmed." Harry explained. Mr. Weasley smiled, and nodded before disappearing and reappearing a minute later with camera in hand. Harry grabbed it and thanked him. Harry ran into the playroom where the children were just finishing eating there breakfast. He pulled Ginny to the side and told her his plan. She grinned herself.
Now that Ginny new what to do, Harry went in to Draco's room where he told him his part in it. Draco nodded as well, before handing over the spoon filled with baby food over to Harry so he could go find the props he would need." Harry sat in Draco's place and finished feeding Tina, who loved to eat. Harry smiled at the little girl before cleaning her face off and changing her.
"I've got it!" Draco came in smiling. "Hey, you didn't have to do that." Draco said, as he began to get ready.
"No problem, I'll take care of her, you go get in position. Remember your Que."
"Yes, sir!" Draco gave a mock salute before grabbing the things he would need after the prank and leaving the room. Harry walked back into the playroom and nodded to his wife. Ginny grabbed her father's camera and turned to the kids.
"Okay, were going to sing, "our ABC's for grandpa, so let's go to the bathroom where we will echo!" Ginny said. There was a chorus of squeals, before everyone headed for the bathroom. Harry got the kids lined up one handed, while Ginny turned on the camera and began to record.
"Okay, on the count of three. One, two, three. A B C D E F.."
"GRAHHHHH" Draco in a monster mask tore open the shower curtain. There was a series of screams as the kids began to run, it did not take them long to figure out who was under the mask, though.
"You mean, uncle Daco." John said waving his pointer finger.
"I'm mean, it was Harry's idea!" Draco gave Harry an evil grin.
"Daddy!" "Uncle Hewy!" The group of three-year-olds squealed.
"What, it was funny!" Harry smiled. The kids ran out chasing each other.
"Did you get that all on tape?" Harry asked as he and his wife were ushered out of the bathroom so that Draco could take his shower.
"Absolutely!" Ginny grinned.
"Good, cause I'm to hungry to do that again. I have strong urge for Kiwi." Harry looked dreamy.
"What? You hate kiwi!" Ginny said with wide eyes.
"Pregnancy babe." Harry grinned I always liked this part." With that, Harry went down stairs to the dining room, where he placed Tina in her high chair then charmed a toy to entertain her while he called for a house elf to please bring him a bowl of cereal with kiwi. The house elf looked at him wide eyed before she bowled and reappeared with his breakfast. Thirty minutes later, Harry grabbed Tina and went back upstairs to relieve Ginny so that she could eat lunch.
Harry walked in only to be mobbed by hugging kids.
"I take it I have been forgiven." Harry smiled.
"And I have been relived, enjoy your kiwi?" Ginny asked.
"Yep, they were great. Have fun!" Harry smiled as he turned to the kids. "Now, who is hungry for lunch!" Harry stated, putting the Tina into a play pin. All the kids ran to their large round table and sat down in their small chairs. Harry grinned, as he grabbed the fish sticks and French fries and began placing them on small plastic colorful plates. Harry handed out the food before pouring juice into small regular cups and handing them out as well as napkins. Smiling, Harry stole a couple of fires for himself before going to the bookshelf to pick out some books to read after lunch.
"Daddy, I got to go restroom." Daniel said pulling on Harry's shirt. Harry smiled before opening the bathroom door for his son. Leaving him to do his duty, Harry went back to the books. After a few minutes of Daniel not coming out, he began to get worried and walked back into the bathroom. What he found made him dash for the camera now sitting in a high cubby. Sitting backward on the toilet sound asleep with his head on the back was his son.
Harry grinned as he filmed the boy for a minute before carefully picking him up and bringing him back into the room where he laid them down on a mat. Instead of books, they had naptime, followed by fifteen minuets of books; they then all went outside to the playground, where he let the kids loose inside the gated area. Harry pulled Tina into a high chair and began to feed her while keeping an eye on his kids. He was thankful for the charms placed around the playground to help keep them safe.
Harry was just finishing feeding Tina, when Draco came out for his turn. Today they were going to fly their baby brooms. Harry had started them on broom, and he and Draco split days on who would teach brooms when.
Later that night it was finally time to give the kids a bath and send them to bed. Tina was already asleep, and Draco got ready with the other adults for the quick bath time ritual. Today was Harry's turn to wash them; he would then hand the one who was clean to Ginny who would dry them and get them into pajamas, then to Draco who tucked them into bed.
So five kids climbed into the bath, where Harry gave them a couple of minutes to play, before he grabbed the nearest child, Lily and began to wash her. He was almost done cleaning her when twenty-five hands suddenly grabbed his shirt, Harry did not know what happened. One minute he was outside the tub, the next the kids had pulled him in with them. Laughing, a splashing fight perused, before cleaning resumed its scheduled coarse. Five baby monitors followed Harry and Ginny to bed that night.
"Honey, look." Harry said when he took off his shirt.
"What is it...oh!" She grinned as she touched the small pouch on his stomach. "You're showing! Wow, are you going to hide it again?" Harry sat down before shaking his head.
"No, there is nothing to hide." Harry smiled kissing his wife. They both smiled and went to sleep.
