Hermione walked into the kitchen carrying both Sarah and Eliza who were yawning a little. "Morning" Harry said from in front of the stove.
"Morning" Hermione replied. The girls just gurgled. Harry took Eliza from Hermione and strapped her into the baby seat attached to one of the two highchairs. Hermione followed his example and put Sarah into her own.
"How do you think the rest of our year is fairing with their babies" Harry asked.
"Probably not as good as we are. You have a natural instinct Harry and I can't wait to see what you're like with children who will actually grow to be more than a year old" Hermione said as Harry set their breakfast on the table.
"You as well have a natural instinct and I think you'll be great with babies who actually grown up, but, if I may ask. What exactly are you implying by that" Harry asked as he sat down from making two bottles.
"Figure it out yourself Mr. Potter" Hermione said and popped the nipple of the bottle into Sarah's mouth, who, as soon as she saw her breakfast started fussing for it. Harry did the same with Eliza and with his free hand picked up his fork and began to eat his eggs. After breakfast they did the dishes as Sarah and Eliza played with their toys in the play pen.
"Would you like to go to Hogsmead today" Harry asked.
"I'd love too" Hermione replied and kissed him before putting the last of the dishes away. She wrote their breakfast down on the calendar before going into the living room and picking up Eliza. Sarah started to fuss.
"Its okay baby daddy's here" Harry said and picked Sarah up who, promptly stopped making a fuss about Eliza being in Hermione's arms.
"At least they know how to get out sympathy" Hermione said as they walked into the nursery.
"You could say that. I wonder if any of the others pairings have babies as smart as ours" Harry wondered aloud.
"It's possible. They do seam incredible smart for their age" Hermione said. She changed Eliza's diaper and put some new clothes on her. Harry followed her example. They picked up the diaper bags and decided they would carry the girls to Hogsmead in their arms to keep them warm instead of putting them in the carry seat. They walked down to the Entrance Hall careful to avoid the trick stairs and made it outside. It was fairly warm but there was a slight chill in the wind warning of the incoming winter.
"It doesn't feel like we have 2 months until winter does it" Hermione asked as they walked across the grounds. There were a 7th years and their babies scattered around the grounds. A lot of them were going into Hogsmead.
"Harry, Hermione" Ron called from behind them. They stopped to wait for Ron, Lavender and Cooper to catch up with them.
"Going into Hogsmead" Lavender asked.
"Of course" Hermione replied. As Cooper came into sight from Lavender's arms Sarah and Eliza started a gurgle conversation with him. At this all 4 teens laughed. Sarah looked up at Harry as if asking him what was so funny. They laughed some more as they walked into the village of Hogsmead. Students and adults alike were going from store to store.
"Fred and George opened another store here Harry. Wanna go" Ron asked.
"Yeah sure. Wanna go Hermione" Harry asked.
"Absolutely" Hermione replied.
"Aren't you going to ask me Ron" Lavender asked.
"I don't have to ask you. I can see it in your eye's that you wanna go" Ron said.
"Here take Cooper. I want to see the look on you brothers face when they see you holding a baby" Lavender said.
"Lets go" Harry said and they walked to the location of Fred and George's new store. It wasn't nearly as crowded as their store in Diagon Alley but they were there anyway.
"Hey Fred, George. I thought for sure you'd be in Diagon Alley making sure nothing went wrong" Harry said.
"Nah. That store is open 2 times a week for the parents and just out of Hogwarts teens who want to buy something. With all our normal customers at Hogwarts we don't have as much business so we decided to open a new location" Fred said.
"How else were we supposed to see our 'ikkle Ronikins holding a baby" George said and took a picture taking Ron by surprise.
"Is it a boy or girl Ron" Fred asked.
"A boy" Ron said a little dumbfounded.
"Name" George asked.
"Cooper" Lavender said.
"Gooper" the twins chorused together and jumped over the counter to get a better look at their fake nephew.
"It's not Gooper idiots it's Cooper" Ron said.
"We'll call him Gooper" Fred said.
"Is it a boy or a girl Harry" George asked seeing Harry holding a baby too.
"A girl. Sarah" Harry said.
"She's cute. She'll probably be hot when she grows up like her fake mum" Fred said.
"Stay away from my little girls" Harry said and put an around Hermione's waist.
"You have two" George asked stunned.
"Yes. We have twin girls. This is Eliza" Hermione said.
"They're both pretty cute" Fred said.
"What, you're not going to give them stupid nicknames" Ron asked.
"How can you make up a nickname for Sarah and Eliza" George asked.
"You can't. At least, not stupid ones" Harry said.
"So they won't be stupid. What about Eli and Sar" George suggested.
"I like brother. We are good" Fred said throwing an arm around George's shoulders.
"That we are brother" George replied ad copied his movement.
"Eli and Sar. Hmm" Hermione.
"What's the matter Hermione? Don't like the nicknames George asked.
"Well, I like Eli but Sar sounds a little weird. What can you come up with if I gave you the name Sarah Genevieve" Hermione asked.
"Let me think" Fred said. He and George walked off thinking leaving the group to look around the store and some of the new things the twins had invented.
"Okay got one" Fred said as they returned minutes later.
"Lets hear it" Harry said.
"C.G. or G.V." George said.
"How'd you get C.G." Hermione asked.
"It just sounds cool" Fred said.
"I like them both. What do you think Hermione" Harry asked.
"I like them both too" Hermione said.
"Just pick one" Ron said.
"Might we offer a suggestion" Fred said and George continues without waiting for an answer.
"I think G.V is cool" George stated.
"Then G.V it is" Harry said.
"Get this you guys. Fred and I have decided to make a line of baby sweets and pranks" George said.
"Are they dangerous" Hermione asked.
"Not a chance. The sweets are really just fruit and stuff with some added flavoring and stuff to keep them good. The pranks are rather harmless. There's a baby diaper bomb, a saliva spit wad and some other things. We even made some bottles and pacifiers, and those chew ring things. The chew rings stay cold without having to freeze them like muggles do and the bottles warm whatever you put in the,. The pacifiers need a little work but eventually they'll repel dirt and dust, and they'll also play some soothing music" Fred said.
"You're actually making things that are harmless" Ron said amazed.
"Watch it Ronald. We have a reputation to keep" Fred said.
"Are you selling them yet" Harry asked.
"We just put them on the shelves. They're back there" Fred said and pointed to a row of shelves. Harry and Hermione walked back there.
"We should get some" Harry said.
"I suppose we should" Hermione said.
"You think we're allowed to buy stuff for the babies with out own money" Harry asked.
"No you're not. We accept the fake and we send them back to Hogwarts" George said from behind them.
"How much" Harry asked.
"2 galleons for the bottles and 1 galleon for the chew rings thing's" George said. Harry and Hermione each grabbed a bottle and a chew ring and took them up to the register.
"6 fake galleons" Fred said. Harry handed over the money.
"I'm guessing the school reimburses you" Hermione asked.
"Yes they do. The Three Broomsticks also accepts these" Fred said and put the fake galleons in a separate bag.
"We'll see you later" Ron said as they walked out. Harry and Hermione put a bottle and a chew ring into each diaper bag.
"How have you been fairing with Cooper" Hermione asked Lavender.
"Alright I guess. Now that he's okay with Ron holding him I'm getting a little more sleep" Lavender said and they laughed a little.
"Eliza and Sarah have still been sleeping through the night and I'm so glad" Hermione stated.
"You're going to curse it girl" Lavender said.
"I don't think so. I've said it before. I think they like letting Harry and I sleep" Hermione said.
"That or they're just stupid" Malfoy said coming up behind them. Before Harry or Hermione could respond to that, Eliza and Sarah lifted their hands ever so slightly and with hardly any notice, Malfoy went flying backwards.
"What was that" Ron asked.
"I didn't do anything. Did you Hermione" Harry asked.
"It wasn't me" Hermione replied.
"I didn't do anything either" Lavender said. Harry looked down at Sarah who was gurgling an obvious laughter and looking at Malfoy. He was standing up and was covered in what looked like manure.
"I think it was the twins" Harry said.
"Can they even do magic" Hermione asked.
"Apparently" Harry said.
"Remind me never to insult anyone they know Harry" Ron said.
"Yeah sure thing Ron" Harry said a little dazed.
"Maybe we should get back to the school and ask Madam Pomfrey" Hermione said.
"Yeah lets go" Harry said leaving Ron and Lavender and heading back to the school.
