Heyy so here is the next chapter and I can not believe how successful the last chapter was. This has to be one of the best reviewed stories I have written so far. So thank you all for the reviews, alerts and favourites so far, please don't stop. So I'll stop rambling now so you can read :)
New Discoveries
"Mummy and Daddy, are they taking us home now?" Draco asked straddling himself on to Hermione's knee.
"Nope, you're staying with Harry and I, Mummy and Daddy are just bringing you some of your belongings because they forgot."
"That was silly," he said.
"It is, but we can't tell them that," Hermione winked.
"Mione, do you think they'll bring Trixie?" Pansy asked her walking towards the Gryffindor student.
"Who is Trixie?" Harry asked Pansy. The petite toddler twisted her body to face Harry.
"Trixie is my Unicorn; she always sleeps with me at night time to keep the monsters away," Harry and Hermione looked one another smirking. "Is Trixie a cuddly teddy?" Harry asked her.
"No she's a Unicorn," She didn't understand but Hermione and Harry knew what she meant.
"Do either of you two have a cuddly toy that keeps away the monsters?" Hermione asked Draco and Blaise.
"Dragon, he's green,"
"Teddy," Blaise mumbled sitting closer to Hermione with his eyes still glued to the television.
"Okay then, because everyone has eaten all their dinner, we're going to get you changed out of these clothes and into some little boy and girl ones." Hermione said, lifting Draco off her lap.
Being the only girl Pansy was taken with Hermione into her bedroom, and Harry took both Draco and Blaise. Before they went their separate ways Hermione told Harry the spell that would shrink his clothes to fit the two smaller boys. As he looked through his wardrobe to find something suitable to wear he looked over his shoulder to see the two boys sat silently on his bed were he placed them, he frowned. They were so quite that he would never have known they were there, as he looked at the two boys he didn't see Draco Malfoy or Blaise Zabini anymore, he saw two three year old boys behaving themselves looking so innocent and care free. Smiling he placed a blue t-shirt and a matching yellow t-shirt on to the corner of the bed. He then rummaged for two pairs of trousers. Finding a pair of black jeans he placed it on top of the blue top and then looked for another pair but in dark blue. Once he found them he looked at the two boys, deciding to place Draco in the blue top as he would look too pale in the yellow.
"Okay, Blaise come over here please," surprisingly Blaise did as he was told and stood in front of Harry looking up at him. Harry removed his white shirt to see a couple of bruises along his collar bone, gently running his finger across the bruises he looked at Blaise.
"How'd you get them?"
"Dunno," Blaise said, lightly tracing Harry's pattern over his bruised collar bone. Harry looked at it closely and frowned.
"Has anybody hurt you," It wasn't as though he believed Maria and Giovanni Zabini to be a child beater but he wanted to make sure that he crossed all areas of possibilities before he mentioned it to a member of staff or his parents.
Blaise shuck his head still frowning at the bruises. "I haven't fallen other either," It was a mystery that both Harry and Blaise couldn't understand. Deciding he'd mention it to Hermione before the parents came, he went back to changing them into clothes.
"Blaise you're going to be wearing the yellow top with blue jeans okay,"
"Look too big,"
"They're for now but I'm going to shrink them,"
"How?"
"With magic." Harry summond his wand he laid both the jeans and t-shirt on to the bed, a foot away from each other and said the words, "Octomus Latamus," with a bright light the clothes begun to glow and then before their eyes started to shrink, he wasn't too sure how they'd shrink to Blaise's size but he would improvise. Once they had shrunk enough he turned back to Blaise and held the t-shirt up to him. It looked a little on the large size but deciding there wasn't much else he could do he decided it would do for the time being. They'd be getting knew clothes later. Dressing the tanned toddler in the new clothes he showed him what he looked like in the wardrobe mirror.
"Does that look okay?" Blaise said nothing but nodded his head and climbed on to the bed. It was then Draco's turn to change.
"Draco gets blue?"
"Yep, you get the blue top,"
"Favourite colour is blue," he told Harry.
"My favourite colour is blue too," the blonde's eyes widened and a large toothy grin spread on to his face.
"I like green," Blaise said from his spot on the bed wanting to be involved in the conversation.
"Green is a nice colour too," Harry told him, causing him to smile. He was still much shyer than Draco but Harry was sure that he would break away from his shell when he got to know both he and Hermione better.
Harry was a little nervous to remove Draco's top wondering if they'd be any bruises hidden behind the white shirt, taking a small intake of breath he lifted the shirt to porcelain skin with no sign of bruising. Relieved he shrank the top and trousers and like before were a little big but they'd be fine. Both tops went to their mid-thigh and the trousers passed their ankles but fitted them around the waist. Kneeling down Harry folded up the bottom of Draco's jeans to stop him from tripping. Walking over to Blaise he did the exact same to him.
"Well that was easier than I first expected." He muttered to himself.
In Hermione's room things weren't going as easily as it had in Harrys. Pansy didn't like the majority of clothes Hermione had, she wanted a bright pink dress with butterflies.
"Pansy, I don't own a dress with butterflies on. Tomorrow Harry and I are hoping to visit Diagon Alley and then I'll look for a pink dress with butterflies on but for now you'll have to wear one of these."
"Well can I have a pink one?" Hermione sighed and looked through her wardrobe again, she didn't have any pink dresses, and it was rare for her to wear a dress she much preferred skirts and jeans. Then at the end of her wardrobe she sore a simple baby pink t-shirt that was too small for her, she hadn't gotten around to getting rid of the top, but it would be perfect.
"I don't have a pink dress, but I have a pink top that you can wear," she hoped it would work because she didn't fancy Pansy in a tantrum. Pansy looked at the top and frowned, it was pink, not very pretty and it had no butterflies but it was pink.
"Wear for now, but get new clothes?"
"Yep, if you wear this for me now, I'll get you some nice pretty clothes."
"Why you not got any pretty clothes?"
"Because I'm a big girl and I'd look a little silly walking around in a butterfly dress in pink," the image made Pansy giggle.
"I see,"
The next problem Hermione faced was what to put below the top, she couldn't imagine Pansy agreeing to wear a pair of trousers, so her safest bet was to go for a skirt. Denim would do. "You can wear this skirt it's not very pretty but it'll look nice with your top. Pansy was unsure but it was safer than what she could see in Hermione's wardrobe, and they did look okay together.
Hermione shrank the clothing to fit Pansy's tiny frame perfectly and was happy with the outcome, she wasn't sure how the top and skirt would work together but Pansy looked pretty cute in them.
They two girls left Hermione's room met with the boys in the living room. As the three children played Hermione and Harry sat on the sofa nervously waiting for their parents to arrive.
"Hermione I need to tell you something about Blaise,"
"What about him?"
"When I was changing him I saw three bruises across his collar bone, when I asked him how he got them he had no idea. He said nobody has hurt him and he hadn't fallen. I don't think he was lying to cover something up either once I mentioned it he kept running his fingers along it with complete confusion in his face."
"That's odd, do you think the bruises may not be from his childhood but from his teenage years."
"I don't know, but that would make sense to why the bruises are there though,"
"Why?"
"Well Zabini is the Slytherins Chaser and a tough one to get past. In his last game against Ravenclaw he took a hard Bludger to his upper chest and was knocked off his broom."
"Hmm, that would explain the bruising. Harry this is a big thing it looks like the two potions have affected their body in two ways, there are in the form of their three year old selves but they still have the injuries they were suffering from before the accident, I think we need to inform Professor Snape about this discovery and pay Madam Pomfrey a visit. We'll need to know a bit about their medical records and if they are suffering from any injuries of late, and we should ask Pomfrey if she could give them a check-up, in case the potion has affected them in any other ways that are not visible."
"We should do it this evening, one of us visit Snape and one of us with the three children head up to see Madam Pomfrey. Whoever meets up with Snape should then come to the hospital wing, because they'd be finished first," Harry said to Hermione.
"Well who do you want to go see first?"
"I think I'd be better off going to see Snape and you take all three up to Hospital Wing, you'll understand her more, and she isn't a big fan of me really, we see each other too much." The two Gryffindors laughed.
"Right, so I'll be taking them to the hospital wing and you're off to visit Snape, it's a plan now all we need to do is wait for their parents to arrive."
They sat watching Draco, Blaise and Pansy play while they waited for the seniors to arrive. Just then the fireplace set a light and one by one each adult began to arrive. First was Narcissa Malfoy and the last was Ivy Parkinson, as each member of the toddlers family arrived their once teenage child jumped up and ran towards them.
"Mummy, you look old," Blaise said tilting his head to the side.
"I do not!" Maria exclaimed before elbowing her husband in the ribs for snickering.
"Good evening Mr Potter, Miss Granger," Lucius spoke while Narcissa was checking Draco out for any injuries. "I believe we have many things to discuss," said the blonde.
"Yes Sir. Would any of you like a drink of some sorts?"
"I will," Cried Draco.
"You've already had one!" Hermione laughed before standing up, she made the list of what each person wanted and disappeared into the kitchen.
"Mummy you brought Trixie?" Pansy asked her looking around the room.
Ivy nodded her head and waved her wand causing a large chest to appear in the room. Pansy jumped off her mother's legs and ran over to the box, opening the lid she pulled out her Unicorn and walked towards Harry.
"Harry this is Trixie, now Trixie you have to be nice to Harry or you may not get any food." Harry laughed at the speech Pansy said to Trixie. As Harry was been introduced to Trixie two large chests appeared, and Harry was suddenly being introduced to Dragon and Teddy.
As Hermione brought in the drinks they got themselves comfortable and waited for Lucius to speak, it seemed he had taken charge of what would be discussed.
"We've been told by Severus what has happened and the two potions that have mixed. He has told us they are three years old. In fact Draco is 3 years and 3 months old, Pansy is 3 years and 5 months and Blaise is 3 years and 8 months. Blaise is the only one that is fully toilet trained, the other two are not. All three do wet the bed but Blaise has nearly grown out of it by this age."
Hermione and Harry looked at one another inwardly groaned, "Do they tell you if they need the toilet?" Hermione asked Lucius.
"They do sometimes but nearer the night you have to ask them. Now we'll discuss bath time. Nearly impossible with Draco, he may be a clean cut teenager but he'll do anything to not have a bath. Pansy isn't too hard as long as there are bubbles, once you get Blaise in the bath he becomes really tired and will fall asleep not long after getting out."
As they talked the two Gryffindors learnt that all three had the same bedtime at 8 o'clock and loved to have a book before bed. Also they were told that if they were left on their own for too long it would usually end up with one of them, hurt, in trouble or crying.
"There is one thing I must warn you of and this is Draco's bad habit it has taken him many of years to break, he bites. There have been many of times Lucius and I have had teeth marks up our arms. Don't let his cute face fool you, he can be sweet and cuddly at times, but he is a true Slytherin." Narcissa's warning worried both Harry and Hermione as they looked at Draco who was happily chatting to his Dragon. Glancing over to Blaise they saw that his teddy bear had a missing ear.
"What happened to Blaise's teddies ear?"
"When he was teething he would chew on that particular ear, after his teeth came through he continued to chew on the ear for comfort and then one day he ended up tearing it off." Giovanni explained ruffling his sons head.
They continued to talk for another hour before Eric, Pansy's father, noticed the time.
"We must get going we will be back soon, please keep us updated on their progress. He then buried his hand into his pocket and pulled out a bag of coins. "Here is a full bag of galleons it should pay for the things you'll need to buy for Pansy.
Harry and Hermione looked shocked but thanked the Parkinson's for the money, as soon as Eric had sat down Lucius handed them another bag for Draco's purchases and Giovanni for Blaise's things.
Saying goodbye to the 6 adults Draco and Pansy turned to play with their cuddly toys, but Blaise stood looking at the spot where his parents disappeared. Hermione seeing this crouched down so she was level with the young Italian.
"Are you all right sweetie?"
"Mummy and Daddy gone," he sniffed looking over at her, his eyes showed tears that had yet to fall.
"I know that but they'll come back soon and it's going to be alright because you're going to have fun staying here with Harry, Draco, Pansy and I" Blaise sniffed one more time before wiping away the tears in his eyes, he rested his head on Hermione's shoulder and placed his thumb in his mouth, another thing they were told he did when tired or sad. Hermione wrapped her arm around his small waist and kissed the top of his head and looked at the fireplace.
