Hiya everyone and happy new year to you all. Here is to everyone who has been waiting patiently for the next chapter. It has been an extremly busy month for me. So I haven't had a lot of time to update. But here is the next chapter. It is the longest of the three and I hope you enjoy it as much as you enjoyed the last few chapters.

Home Sweet Home
"Harry I've been thinking, how do you think their parents will take the news that their teenage children are now toddlers," Harry grimaced at the thought of a furious Lucius Malfoy staring down at him.
"Not very well I bet,"
"Hermione," Blaise whimpered from her arms. "Do you think Mister Dumbledore is angry?"
"No honey I don't think he's angry, but are you alright now?" He nodded his head before snuggling back into her arms. Harry raised an eyebrow at the scene and Hermione shrugged the shoulder Blaise wasn't resting on. Both puzzled with young Italians behaviour.
They continued to walk through the corridors until they finally reached the fourth floor. They began to search for the portrait of the woman surrounded by animals, it, however, didn't take long as soon as they turned the corner it was stood right in front of them.
"Hello my dears, you must be Mr Potter and Miss Granger, I am Gabriella the lady of the animals, before I let you in my dears I must know who each of the three children are and the password."
"In Hermione's arm is Blaise Zabini and the young blonde in mine is Draco Malfoy and the little girl is Pansy Parkinson." Said Harry. Gabriella nodded and then asked for the password.
"We weren't given a password," Hermione said frowning.
"Of course you weren't my dear you have to choose a password that the 5 of you can agree on," Hermione and Harry nodded their heads understanding.
"Okay kids what do you want the password to be?" Hermione asked.
"Socks,"
"Socks," said Hermione looking at Draco oddly.
"Yes socks," Hermione looked at Harry who shrugged his shoulders, it was an easy password to remember and the other two children seemed to like it.
"Gabriella the password is socks," he said to her. A strange smile appeared on the woman's face but she smiled and the door opened and they walked inside.
What met their eyes was a beautiful living room with soft blues and greens painted on the walls. The ceilings were high and had an elegant chandelier that hung a few feet above their heads. The furniture was chocolate brown surrounding a blazing log fire; there was a plush midnight blue carpet with a paler blue rug. There were a few large bookcases with books ranging from academic to children's; Muggle and Wizard. From the main room there was a large arch leading to another room. This room was a smallish cottage styled kitchen with beech worktops and oak table that would fit six. The kitchen had many Muggle appliances such as a dishwasher and a microwave. From the kitchen another door lead to a small room suitable for storage of belongings such as Quidditch gear or the three Slytherins toys.
There was a marble staircase from the living room ,that leads to five rooms. There were 4 bedrooms and a bathroom decorated in aquamarine; a large tub that could fit ample amount of people in.
"Harry this place is amazing look at it," Hermione squealed excitedly placing Blaise on the ground. The young Slytherin looked up and frowned wondering why he had been placed on the ground, he followed Hermione. From behind Harry chuckled at Blaise's actions and placed Draco and Pansy on the ground. While Draco followed after Blaise and Hermione, Pansy stood routed next to him. Looking up from the floor Pansy raised her hands to be lifted once more.
"I guess your wanting to stay with me," she nodded her and with a sign Harry bent and lifted the girl into his arms.
"Harry!" cried Hermione from the top of the stairs. She waited until Harry was with her until she spoke again.
"There are five rooms, the one to our left is the only bathroom the other four are bedrooms. I think that you and I have a separate room, the two boys share and Pansy has the other one. Harry agreed and together they checked out the four rooms. The first one they walked in was the smallest of the four and was completely pink, from pick carpets and ceilings to pink walls. The bed was small and had a picture of a unicorn on the bedding. Looking at one another they looked at Pansy who was looking around the room with a big grin on her face.
"Would you like this room Pansy?" Hermione asked. The little girl looked at Hermione quickly with a big grin and nodded her head. Wiggling out of Harry's arms she was placed on to the floor and walked over to the bed and clawed on to it.
Seeing she was rather happy they left her to explore her new room. They walked into the room that was next to Pansy's. It was a little larger than Pansy's but was decorated in colours of emerald green and dark blue, in this room there were two beds one in blue and one in green.
"Draco, Blaise do the two of you mind sharing this room. As it has two beds in it?" the boys shook their heads and chose their beds without fighting. Draco chose the blue and Blaise the green.
Hermione and Harry left the boys room quietly trying to not make a scene, together they looked in the two rooms left. They were the exact same but the colours were different. Hermione's was decorated in lilac and pale shades of pink; it was pretty and simple just as she liked it. Harry's on the other hand was a deep red with gold swirls imprinted on his wall paper it wasn't over powering but just right.
All five residents were happy with their bedrooms and they ventured back into the living room; it was then, when Harry noticed the large TV above the fireplace.
"Mione we have a television," he said pointing to the large screen.
"Harry what's a television?" said Pansy carefully saying her words.
"A television is Muggle technology that works without magic. You can watch films; listen to music or your favourite TV show. It's hard to describe but we'll show you later." Pansy was happy with the answer but eyed the television wearily she decided to keep a close eye on it.
Hermione felt a small tug on her robe and looked down to see Draco. "Draco eat?" She looked from the blonde to the clock near the bookcase. It read 11:52.
"Of course will a sandwich do for now?" she realised that the question itself didn't matter he was getting one whether he liked it or not.
"Cheese and pickle?"
"If you like. Blaise and Pansy what do you want in your sandwich?"
"Blaise wants Cheese,"
"Just cheese hunny?" he nodded his head.
"Jam," Hermione nodded her head before turning to Harry.
"I'll have Tuna and Sweetcorn please Hermione," Hermione rolled her eyes and left Harry to look after the three baby Slytherins.
"Harry we look at television?" Blaise asked. Seeing it was a better time than ever he nodded his head and told the three toddlers to sit on the sofa. Doing as they were told he pressed a button on the television, it switched into life. The three of them jumped in shock staring at the telly in surprise and fear.
"Harry what it doing?" Blaise trembled pushing himself into the back of the sofa.
"Don't be afraid, Blaise; they can't get you I promise." He looked up at Harry before crawling onto his knee. He suddenly felt Draco and Pansy move closer to him. "Now those people are acting, the story isn't real it's just people pretending it's real."
"Do they know it not real?"
"Yes Draco, they do. Now they are acting for our entertainment for big boys and girls but I think you'd enjoy the children's channel more." Harry glanced down to see three sets of eyes look at him curiously. Taking hold of his wand he waved it once on to a channel he knew of for their age and was relieved to see it was something he knew a little about.
"What this?"
"This Pansy is Winnie the Pooh a silly old bear who loves honey. It follows him and his friends Christopher Robin, Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet and all the others who live in the hundred acre wood. This has been on television since your mummies and daddies were your age and before that."
"Have you seen Winnie the Pooh?"
"I haven't really watched it but I know Hermione loved it when she was little like you." Hearing this they settled slightly and watched the programme with interest but were still very cautious. Harry placed Blaise where he once sat and left them watching it in peace while he went in search for Hermione.
"Harry do you think I should give them juice, milk or water?"
"Juice if they don't like it they can change it," he said simply.
"What they doing?" she then asked.
"Watching Winnie the Pooh I think they find it fascinating but slightly terrifying."
"I loved Winnie the Pooh, he was always my favourite, my mum loved Eeyore though. I even had a Pooh Bear bedroom."
Harry chuckled, "I told them you used to like it, but Hermione you should have seen their faces when I told them that Pooh had been out for as long as their parents were little, or even longer. I don't think they believed that anything was that old." Hermione chuckled imagining the image in her head also.
"The sandwiches are done. Might as well get them fed, but a few things have crossed my mind."
"And they are?" he said as he picked up the tray with the sandwiches and juice.
"Do you think they're potty trained, do they still wet their beds? What if they have allergies?"
"Let Dumbledore explain to them what has happen. If their left in our care we'll most likely have to speak to them, you can ask them all those questions then," Harry hoped that they were all potty trained and wouldn't wet the bed. But then an evil side to him hoped they weren't the embarrassment that would cause them after would be amazing.
The two Gryffindors walked back into the room and smiled as they saw they were sat close together watching Winnie the Pooh with immense interest.
"Dinner is ready you three," said Hermione causing them to drag their attention somewhere else. Harry placed the tray on the coffee table and handed each child their sandwich and drink that Hermione had placed in a beaker. She made sure to place a spell on the bottle so it wouldn't leak.
They ate lunch while watching Pooh Bear. Hermione was forced to answer many questions like why was Eeyore a donkey and Tigger a tiger?
"Hermione?"
"Yes Pansy?"
"How come the owl is always talking?"
Sighing for umpteenth time, "An owl is supposed to be a very wise creature so that is why Owl talks a lot."
"He looks like my Uncles owl," Blaise said cocking his head to the side before biting into his sandwich.
Hermione and Harry rolled their eyes at the comment but continued to watch the TV. She still couldn't believe that she was watching Pooh Bear at her age while at Hogwarts. The more she thought about it the weirder the scenario was then she first thought. Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini and Pansy Parkinson were three years of age, watching Winnie the Pooh a Muggle story while eating sandwiches. It was then she noticed they were still in their oversized school shirts.
"Harry once we've finished lunch lets change them into some suitable clothes other than their shirts."
"Sure, but how?"
"Well before we get them any clothes we might as well shrink a pair of ours down place them in those it's better than having them walk around in oversized shirts."
"Just one question, do we put them in pants or in nappies?" Harry asked and Hermione sat looking.
"We'll put them in pants but cast a charm for now. If we find out they wet themselves then when we get items we'll buy nappies." Harry held in the smile from the thought of Draco Malfoy in a nappy.
Just then a large grey eagle flew into the room and landed messily on the table.
"Saviour," squealed Draco reaching out to touch the eagle.
"Who's Saviour?" Hermione asked taking hold of Draco's small hand.
"Daddy's birdy," Hermione looked at Harry nervously before taking the letter attached to its leg.
"Read it Hermione," Harry said eyeing the note.
Mr Potter & Miss Granger
We received a very interesting visit from the Headmaster this Morning. Him telling us a strange tale of how my son, along with Blaise and Pansy have been turned into three year old toddlers. This was a difficult subject to except, but we have all discussed this and our decision is, the three children will stay in your care. But prepare a visit; we will be arriving at Hogwarts this afternoon with some of their childhood belongings seeing as they've lost their memory. You may ask us questions that may be useful to raising them for now. Draco is a Malfoy so don't expect him to be easy to look after
The six of us will be seeing you soon.
Lucius Malfoy.
"Hermione what that mean?" question Draco.
"It means Mummy and Daddy are coming."
So I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I was a huge fan of Poob Bear and still am.
So please review, favourite and alert.
Love Lottielue.
