Chapter 7
"Okay, on the count of three you guys open them" said Ginny. "One, two, three"
They all opened their letters.
"Oh my gosh" cried Hermione.
"Okay, Hermione's parents obviously said yes" said Ginny. Everyone laughed. "What did Mom say, Ron"
"She said yes" exclaimed Ron excitedly.
"She said yes to me, too" yelled Harry. All over the Great Hall the four friends heard 'Yes!'es and 'Why not!'s elsewhere.
"Wait a minute" said Ginny. "I don't mean to burst everyone's bubble, but Harry, I highly doubt the Dursley's will let you any baby of any kind at their house, let alone a magic one, and Hermione and Ron, how in the world are you going to take care of Joshua, Anna, and Elizabeth living in different houses"
"Well, I know how to fix my problem" replied Harry. "I was going to move out anyway and we can live off of the fortune my parents left behind till their old enough to be left with a babysitter so I can get a job."
"But with them you won't be able to go into training to become an Auror" Ron pointed out.
"They're worth it. But now, back to your problem."
"Well, we could buy our own place too" said Hermione thoughtfully.
"Where are you guys going to get money like that? It will be expensive enough buying all the stuff two growing babies will need" said Ginny.
"Hey, I know" exclaimed Harry. "We can all live in the same house! Then, next year when Ginny graduates, she can come live with us too"
"That's actually a good idea" said Hermione looking surprised.
"HEY"
"I was just kidding."
They
had Health and Life after breakfast. When they entered the classroom
they saw that not everyone's kids were behaving as well as Joshua,
Benjimin, Anna, Samantha, and Elizabeth. Lavendar was holding a tiny
baby with platinum blonde hair while a very tired looking Draco was
shaking a rattle, trying to get the baby to stop crying. Neville was
paired with a Ravenclaw girl named Joanne Green who was rocking a
screaming baby with brown, mousey hair. Seamus was holding a little
baby with no hair at all and appeared to be trying to stop it from
pulling on Hannah's hair with no success. "Whoa" said Ron.
"Boy am I glad our kids don't act like that."
"Everyone
find a seat please. Now, I understand a few of you are having a
little trouble" said Prof. Lensley.
"A
little" yelled out Dean who appeared to be trying to
get a small baby into it's baby carrier without being too badly
maimed because it was obviously having a lot more fun trying (so far
unsuccessfully, thank goodness) to bite him.
"All right, a
lot of trouble" replied Prof. Lensley. "In this
class, during the next 8 months, I will teach you little tricks for
how to handle your children. Now, first lesson, whatever you do,
don't make faces at them, because it scares them." Goyle froze
with his face still contorted in what looked like a grimace of pain,
while his baby screamed on. Then, he tried smiling. Miraculously, it
worked!
"I'd say he looks worse" Ron muttered, earning
him an elbow in the ribs from Hermione. "Ow" Ron
whisper-yelled. (A/N: Did I just make that up? Oh well.)
During
that lesson they learned how to change diapers, how to feed their
babies, and more little tricks to make them stop crying.
Later
that night, it was bathtime. Or, as Ron so sweetly put it,
'get-kicked-screamed-at-and-splashed-time'.
"Okay, how in the
world are we supposed to give 5 babies a bath without getting yelled
at by other 'parents', waiting for their kids turn, splashed, or
kicked? And, where in the world is this delightful event to take
place" asked Ron.
"In a bathroom, with many other
'parents'" replied Hermione. Of course, everyone was wondering
how in the world that was going to happen, or, as Harry so
eloquently put it"Huh"
"They closed down a
bathroom on the third floor so 'parents' can bathe their babies in
the sink" answered Hermione.
"Oh."
Half-an-hour later they
were in the third floor bathroom, taking up two sinks. Hermione had
conjured up 4 cloths so the bathing would go quicker. In 20 minutes
the babies were clean, in their pajamas, and lying in bassinets, fast
asleep. "I guess the long day wore them out. I think it wore me
out, too" said Hermione, yawning.
"I think we're all
pretty tired. I'm going to bed. G'night everyone" said Ginny,
getting into bed.
"I think I'll turn in, too. Good night"
said Harry. Gradually the common room quieted down and soon everyone
was fast asleep.
A/N: YAY ME! I finished two chapters today! Thanx for all your reviews, but I wanna get this chapter up so I'll mention you next chapter. Okay, here's my question: someone mentioned to me once they might like a chapter in Lavender and Draco's POV. So, what do you guys think? Yes or no? Okay, review, review, review!
