New Resolutions II Chapter 5- Babysitting
"Now Hermione, don't worry. The kids will be fine," said Ron as he, Harry, and Draco ushered the girls to get their cloaks and leave.
"It's not the kids I am worried about..." muttered Ginny to Leah and the both of them giggled.
"Yeah," added Harry, "We have this all under control. Now you girls go out and have a good time, don't come home till late."
"What? You don't want me here?" pouted Leah, faking it.
"Of course I want you here, love. But if you go, I promise I will make it up to you." he said winking playfully and helped her slip on her cloak, and she felt a tug at the bottom of her skirt.
"How is Daddy going to make it up to you Mum?" Jorie asked giving a cute little confused face.
Leah and Harry both blushed. "Nothing Jorie, go play with your sister." they both said at the same time.
"Love you." Leah said to Harry and gave him a kiss.
"Love you." said Ron and Hermione did the same.
Kori looked at Ginny and Draco, almost expecting them to do the same.
Ginny looked over at her daughter following her gaze, and knowing what she was thinking. She sighed and kissed Draco on the cheek and whispered in his ear.
"I only did that for our daughter's sake.... No other reason." she whispered and slipped her cloak on the rest of the way and was the first out after hugging Kori bye.
After the girls were gone Draco flopped down on the couch after he made sure that the kids were playing safely. He thought about what Ginny had done, and the only reason she said that she did it for. Did she really mean it? Did she have any feelings for him, or was it just for Kori's sake? His thoughts were cut in by Harry's voice.
"Thinking about her again?" he asked and sat down in a chair by the couch.
"Of course, but I don't think Weasel will let me near her any time soon."
"Ginny's grown, she doesn't have to have Ron's permission any more, she didn't before. I hate to break it to you but the only person making her do this, is herself."
"I know I did things wrong, but at least I am here for them both. I am just waiting for her to come back to me. I know it won't do me any good, but I can wish..." he said and sighed.
All of a sudden the heard something hit the ground and they got up and ran into the other room. Ron was lying on the floor tied up and the children were giggling.
"Well....looks like another World War has begun..." Ron said, obviously knowing that the babysitting was not going as well as planned.

Miles away, the girls sat in a muggle bar enjoying night out. Pansy and Jade had joined them once they got there.
"So, where are the kids?" asked Pansy.
"With their Daddy's," said Leah with a smirk.
"You've got to be kidding me?" said Jade.
"Nope...they told us to have a ladies night out and they would watch them," said Hermione.
"They do know what they are getting themselves into, don't they?" asked Pansy.
"Well, you see, they are capable of watching just one of them. In Harry's case, he can watch the twins easily but they don't know how they are when the four of them are together. I have to say the next group of Marauders, to say the least," said Ginny.
"I think they are going to need Merlin's help," said Jade.
All the girls gave a giggle and order themselves some alcohol; everyone but Leah. She vowed that she would never drink because she saw the effect it had. Her parents drank and that was enough for her not too.
"Aren't you going get something to drink Leah?" asked Ginny.
"Um...no, that is okay. I don't drink," she said.
"Why?" asked Hermione.
Leah met Pansy eyes. She knew why; she had seen the effect too.
"Just never got into the whole drinking thing, that's all," she said with a smile.
The two of them shrugged and didn't ask anything else about it.
"Think you still got a Manor, Leah?" asked Pansy.
"Now, yes but give it time...by the end of the night, we might have to build another manor."

Kori walked into the living room and looked at her daddy on the couch. She rubbed her eyes a little as she saw his head was balanced on his hand and he was staring into space. She walked over to him and stood in front of the couch, looking up at him.
"Daddy?" she said cocking her head to the side slightly.
"Yes darling?" he asked coming out of his trace and looking down at her.
"Do you luv Mummy?"
He sighed and picked her up, sitting her in his lap and caressing her soft, feather like hair.
"Of course I do darling," he said honestly.
"Then why you ain't like Aunt Le Le and Uncle Harry? Or Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermy?" she asked staring into his eyes.
"It's hard to explain. We just aren't," he said hoping that was a good enough explanation, for now.
"Okay Daddy," she said and laid her head against his chest and slipped her arms around his waist the best she could and began to drift off to sleep.
Harry stood leaning against the doorway watching this whole scene. He knew how much Ginny and Kori meant to Draco but the question was did Ginny? Did she know how bad he wanted to be with her or even how much he just wanted the three of them to be a family?
Harry decided that when the girls got back, and were sober, he would ask Hermione to do him a favor, a big favor.
Kori's sleeping didn't last long because Ron came running into the room with paint in all different colors on him with three kids running behind him with paint on their hands.
"Harry- HELP ME!" yelled Ron.
Harry smiled as Ron jumped up on one of the chairs almost knocking it backward.
"I think we need some help," said Harry.
"Who?" asked Draco trying to stop Kori from going with the twins.
"Yeah...who?" asked Ron.
Harry just smirked at them.

"SIRIUS? Sirius is your help?" said Ron whipping the paint off.
"And he IS standing right here. Don't worry, I can help," said Sirius.
"SIRI!" yelled Jordan running into him.
"Hey Jorie. I've heard you have caused some trouble around here," he said.
"No..." she said innocently.
He leaned down and whispered something in her ear that caused he to giggle and nod.
"Should we be worried?" Draco asked Harry.
"Yes," said Harry. "Always."
Sirius turned into a black dog that made Draco jump behind Harry. Jorie ran after him.
"What did he say?" asked Ron.
"No idea..."
"I can't believe your back up is Sirius Black!" said Ron.
"He's a grim," said Draco still standing behind Harry.
Harry laughed at him. "I think we should go see what they are up to..."
The other two nodded in agreement and they went up the stairs.

Hour later and a few drinks more, the girls were laughing and talking about crazy things they wouldn't remember. Well, Leah and Pansy would because they were the only ones that were sober.
"You haven't told us about anyone you dated Leah besides Harry," said Hermione talking a drink.
"That is because I know better," said Leah.
"Oh, come on. You had to date someone besides Harry," said Ginny.
"Fine...Ginny, you know him. Evan Daniels. He was in Ginny's year. We dated for two years."
"I know him...he was hot," said Pansy.
"If I remember correctly we broke up because someone else was going with him," said Leah turning her head in Pansy direction with a smile.
"I didn't know you were going out! No one did."
"If my brother knew...Evan would be dead probably," said Leah.
"And I wouldn't be with him..."
"WHAT!"
"Only a month now..." said Pansy ducking her head down.
"I am happy for you. As you know, I am already taken, by Harry Snape. Do you know him?" she asked with a smirk.
"I think I do..."
"So, Ginny, are you going to date anyone now?" asked Jade.
"No."
"Why?" asked Hermione.
"Because I already love someone."
"Really?" asked Leah.
"Who?" asked Pansy.
"Draco."
Pansy almost spat out her drink while Leah began to choke on hers.
"What?" they asked together.
"Then why aren't you with him?" asked Leah.
"Because then I would have to admit to him that I do and say that I have been lying all this time..."
Leah and Pansy looked at each other. They would be the only two who remembered her saying that. Ginny wouldn't even remember. Leah smirked at Pansy. She knew the truth now and would use it.

"KORI, DAMIEN!" yelled Harry chasing them into the living room. "GIVE ME MY WAND AND STOP THROWING FOOD EVERYWHERE!"
The both giggled and continued to run around the house throwing any type of food they could everywhere. Harry couldn't do anything because Damien had stole is wand.
"KIDS....STOP RIGHT N- AHHH OUCH!"
Kori and Damien stopped and turned around to see Harry had stood on a piece of candy and fell down on the ground. They giggled again and took off up the stairs. Harry closed his eyes before he got up and ran up the stairs, limping.
"Harry, Leah?" came another voice stepping out of the fire.
"Remus...HELP!" he heard a voice call him from up stairs.
Remus Lupin looked around the living room. Paint was all over the furnisher and walls. Food was on the floor and spread out through the house. "What the hell is going on here?" he asked himself, stepping over toys as he made his way up the stairs.
He walked into the first room, Jordan's, to find Kori jumping up and down on the bed with Harry rubbing his leg.
"Hi Moony..." he said with a smirk.
"Do I want to know?" he said looking at Harry's leg.
"No...you really don't."
"Didn't think so..."
"DAMIEN! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE NOW!" yelled Draco running into the same room after Damien.
"Hi Draco," said Remus trying to hold back his laughter.
"Don't start Remus. Please, don't," said Draco rubbing his head where a bruise was beginning to form.
"Where are the girls?"
"Having a girls night out," said Harry.
"And left you two to watch the kids?"
"Ron is here too...oh, and Sirius. Speaking of them, where are they?"
"REMUS, HARRY, DRACO! HELP!"
They all looked at each other before the two kids ran back down the stairs followed by the three of them. They walked into the playroom to find them.
Ron and Sirius were back to back sitting on the floor with duck tape wrapped around them. Lily and Jordan were walking around them; each had a wand.
"Lil, Jorie?" asked Harry.
"Hi Daddy," said Lily.
"Hi Remy," said Jordan.
"LUPIN, ARE YOU HERE! I AM NOT GOING TO TRACK YOU DOWN EVERY TIME I NEED TO GIVE YOU YOUR DAMN POTION!" came a voice they all knew to well.
Lily and Jordan looked at each other.
"In the playroom Severus!" yelled Remus.
Severus walked into the room and stop mid-step and looked around the room. Lily and Jordan slowly began leave the room before their Papa saw them but it didn't work.
"Don't think so!" he said grabbing them from behind and dragging them into the room.
"Hi Papa...we were just going upstairs...to go to bed," said Lily looking at him with a sweet smile.
"Not going to work this time," he said looking down at her.
"Hi Dad...what brings you here?" asked Harry sitting down.
"Well, its about time for Lupin to take his blo-"
"Language," warned Remus.
"Potion and he wasn't home. And that usually means he is here or at Blacks."
"Oh."
"And Jade told me you three were babysitting."
Harry looked up at his father before smiling. "Oh yeah. We babysat. Really well..."
"Questions...Harry why is your leg swelling? Draco, how did you get the bruise and pump on your head? Ron, do I even want to know why you are ducked taped to Black?"
"Landed on it after I flew through the air because of candy."
"Hit in the head with wand and got a door shut in my face."
"The two little devils it your hands."
"I see...," said Severus.
"Help?" asked Harry.
Severus looked at him then to the mess just in that room and nodded.

"Do I want to open this door?" asked Leah.
"Yes because I need a potion so I don't get a hang over in the morning," said Ginny. "I don't think the five years olds I teach would be very happy if I came in with one."
"Me too," said Hermione.
Leah giggled and walked into the room and froze. All four kids were sitting on the couch with Severus walking in front of them. Harry was sitting down in one of the chairs with his leg propped up with ice on it. Draco was lying down on the floor with ice on his head. Remus was sitting down in on of the chairs, just watching the scene in front of him. They didn't realize that the girls had walked in yet.
"Hand the wands over," said Severus extending his hand.
The four kids handed over four different wands.
"Pa-"
"No talking Lily Grace."
"But-"
"You too Jordan Jade."
The twins crossed their arms and sat back.
"Now, you four are going to help clean up this house before your parents get home and see it."
"Oh, they already are home," said Leah.
Draco bolted up and looked toward the door. Harry jumped up only to wince in pain and fall back down.
"Hi Love," said Harry.
"Hey Ginny. How are you?" asked Draco.
Leah and Ginny looked at each other with smiles.
"Ginny, Leah, come here!" yelled Hermione with a hint of amusement in her voice.
They walked into the next room and saw Ron and Sirius still sitting on the floor.
"Duck taped. My husband is duck taped. Duck taped to Sirius," said Hermione.
"Oh...they handled it alright. I don't think they will volunteer to baby-sit anytime soon..."
