Chapter Two: In Which Daycare Centers Are Used As Excuses On Why You Didn't Come To Your Second Cousin's Birth
After her fight on grammar with Ron and Harry, Hermione joined Percy by the window looking up words. Sirius was about to ask Hermione something when the doorbell rang. Sirius walked to the door sighing. When he opened it he saw a very skinny woman with light blonde hair that made him feel like he was going to go blind. With her was a baby around Harry's age with the same hair and scary blue eyes looking at him. And for some strange reason her nose was always in the air. Always.
"Narcissa, how are you? And who's this handsome little boy here? Looks like his dad," Sirius said, beginning to sweat.
"Sirius, me and Lucius did not see you at Draco's birth. Why weren't you there?" she asked looking down at Harry, who had just appeared from behind his godfather's legs.
Draco looked down and stuck his tongue out at Harry.
Harry pointed up at him. "UUGY!" Harry shouted, then began to giggle opening his mouth to reveal two rows of teeth.
"I heard you opened a daycare center so I was going to leave Draco here if that's alright," she added looking at the two toddlers glaring at each other. "I think Draco will get along fine with the other kids. Don't you think so, Sirius?"
"Oh, yes, of course, Narcissa. I did set up this daycare center as a surprise for Draco," he added, laughing and taking Draco in his arms. "Of course, it took a while to get it up."
Harry didn't like that move. Sirius was his godfather.
He tugged on Sirius's robes. " SIRRY!" he whined, reaching up for him.
"Okay, Harry. Sirius is here." He bent down and scooped Harry up into his other arm. Harry snuggled up close to Sirius's chest and closed his eyes, instantly falling asleep.
Draco and Sirius said their goodbyes to Narcissa, then went into the house. When they entered the house, Sirius lowered his head and kissed Harry on the forehead. Sirius laid Harry down on the couch. Ron saw him asleep and looked disappointed. He popped his thumb out of his mouth and snuggled up next to Harry. He was also asleep in seconds. Hermione walked over to them and looked at them, shaking her head.
She grabbed a blanket and threw it over them, smirking. She was soon hoping to become Harry and Ron's friend. After a while of struggling, Sirius got all the children to go to sleep. Well, he thought he did. He allowed Percy to stay up about five minutes later because he was older. He started to count.
"Okay, we have Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred and George, and Percy reading. And it's eleven o'clock, just as Lily asked. Wait! There's one missing. But who?…..Draco Malfoy. " He looked under and in all of the furniture.
Then he searched the rooms. He heard humming in one of them. He looked in his room and there right next to the dresser Draco stood, combing his hair with Sirius' favorite comb.
"Hey, mate, what…..are…..you…..doing….in….here?" he asked, wrenching to comb out of Draco's hand.
"MINE, MINE, MINNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!" Draco screamed, but Sirius was stronger.
He had the comb in no time. He picked up Draco with one arm and held up his comb in triumph in his other hand. Sirius walked Draco to the living room and sat him down by the others. He was right next to Harry. In frustration, Draco bit Sirius' arm so hard that it left bite marks. Two children began to snigger. He looked up and saw Fred and George chuckling and pointing to him.
He began to walk to them, but Percy got to them first. "You heard what mum said. I know Sirius is lazy and immature, but you must look past that and see that he's a friend and…. FRED GET YOUR FINGER OUT OF GEORGE'S EAR NOW!" Percy bellowed at the top of his lungs.
Fred, shaking very badly, obeyed. Sirius bent down next to them and tickled under their chins. Sirius loved tickling babies because they made him laugh, too. Percy raised his eyebrows at the sight of his brothers rolling on the floor. He laughed and continued the process. Harry sleepily got up and went to the bag his mom left him.
He dug his hand inside for a while, then brought out a brown teddy bear. Harry had only slept for ten minutes. That definitely wasn't enough. He walked to Sirius and took his hand. He slowly led him to his recliner. Sirius picked Harry up and sat down in the chair pulling the lever. Harry hugged his teddy bear and snuggled up to Sirius and they both were soon asleep. Percy shook his head. Now that Sirius was asleep it was up to him to get Draco, Fred, and George to sleep.
He cracked his knuckles. "Well, they're just babies. How hard can it be?"
