True Colours
"Mione," Harry called an hour later. "Where are we having dinner tonight? Are we staying here or should we go to the Great Hall?" Hermione thought for a minute and decided it would be better going to the Great Hall so they could then meet up with Snape and Pomfrey.
Hermione then walked over to the three children and smiled. Blaise had lightened up and was happily playing with Draco and Pansy, as she watched them she knew that she had bonded closely with Blaise and was already dreading the time they were to grow back. Never speaking to the Italian in school she suddenly wondered if he was like Malfoy or more like his younger self; shy and sweet, but having to hide it under a cold exterior. The same thought made her look at Draco and Pansy in the same way.
"Right we're going to the Great Hall for dinner; does anybody need to go to the toilet before we go?" she heard an on core of yeses and took hold of Draco's hand and directed him to the toilet.
"Do you need me to go in with you or are you capable to go on your own?"
"Draco go on his own?" Hermione nodded her head and opened the door for him to go in. She stood outside of the bathroom and waited for him to finish. A few minutes later he appeared from the room looking sad.
"Missed," he said sadly. Hermione frowned before realising what he meant. She cautiously opened the door to see that he had missed the toilet and pee was on the floor.
She heard sniffing behind her and noticed that his eyes were filling with tears. "Hey it's alright sweetie, I'll get it cleaned up. Everybody makes mistakes," he nodded his head a single tear rolled down his face. Sighing she waved her wand before turning to give the young blonde a cuddle. She picked him up and checked the bathroom one last time before heading back down the stairs. She handed Draco to Harry explaining the situation before taking hold of Pansy's hand and doing the exact same with her, however she need a little help getting on to the toilet. She pulled down her underwear and sat her on the toilet, she waited till Pansy had finished and handed her the toilet paper.
"Well this toilet trip was successful," she mumbled to herself as she walked back down the stairs. Draco had calmed down and had rushed to Hermione as soon as he saw her. She gave him a hug and lifted Blaise into her arms but could still feel Draco holding on to her. Hermione looked at Harry for support but saw him laughing at her before being forced to play with Trixie and Pansy.
"Blaise are you capable to go to the toilet all by yourself," Blaise nodded his head and disappeared into the bathroom. Because she couldn't detach herself from him Draco had followed her up the stairs.
"Hermione?"
"Yes Draco,"
"We have no bath tonight," he smiled up at her with a large toothy grin and she chuckled.
"Nope all three of you are having a bath and then you can go to sleep in your big boy bed." Draco disagreed.
"Draco has no bath, but sleep in big boy bed?"
"You can only sleep in your big boy bed if you have a bath," Hermione told him smirking; she couldn't believe how cute he was being.
"Draco sleep in baby bed and have no bath," She laughed at this.
"Clever but nope, you're having a bath because you want all the girlies to like you," Draco scrunched his nose up before sticking his tongue out.
"Girls are yucky they got diseases,"
Laughing she ruffled his hair, "Girls have diseases, you might want to remember that one for a few years," thinking about the rumours focused on his sex life. "Draco I'm a girl,"
"Yeah but you're a big one and don't have diseases," he told her.
"Promise to remember that one," she said a familiar word popping into her mind.
"Draco will," he told her smiling. Smiling once again at the young blonde she waited for Blaise to come out of the bathroom before they all went down stairs.
Harry took out a pair of shoes each that he had discovered in their trunks. He would move the trunks into the small room from kitchen where he had already placed his Quidditch broom.
"Okay two rules. The first is do not run off the castle is big and we can't afford to lose you, second rule behave yourself, there are many traps in Hogwarts so we don't want you getting hurt," Harry told Draco Blaise and Pansy. Hermione wrapped them in coats and took hold of Draco and Blaise's hand and headed out of the door. Harry took hold of Pansy's.
"What gonna be for dinner?" asked Blaise.
"I don't know, we'll just have to wait and see,"
"We get dessert?" Asked Draco skipping along beside her.
"That is if you eat all your dinner,"
"No carrots, carrots are yucky," Pansy said looking at Harry.
"Okay no carrots, what about peas,"
"No peas Pansy have broccoli? Harry looked at Hermione and scrunched up his nose but nodded his head.
"Harry do you think Dumbledore has announced to the hall that they have turned into toddlers?"
"Dunno he might have done, if he hasn't yet there is gonna be a big surprise when we walk in and Draco cries out Uncle Sevy." Harry laughed.
They walked towards the Great Hall and stood waiting to go in. inside they could hear Dumbledore explaining to the students what had happened to the three Slytherins. They waited patiently and then once he had finished they chose that moment to walk through the door.
"Hermione why everyone look at us?" Blaise whispered cowering behind her leg.
"It's alright they're only looking at you because you're a child." She whispered back squeezing his hand tightly. Draco on the other hand seemed to be enjoying the limelight.
"Hiya, I'm Draco," he said loudly waving his chubby hands. There was a lot of cooing from all sides of the room which made Draco smile even more.
"Draco go and sit down at the table under the red flags please," Hermione told him but he wouldn't listen. "Draco c'mon." she said one more time but the blonde still ignored her.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Harry mumbled to Hermione.
"You're telling me."
"Draco!" they cried together, "Come here now," the blonde boy looked but paid no attention. Harry handed Pansy to Hermione who took both Blaise and Pansy to the table. Harry walked over to Draco and took hold of his hand.
"Harry off," he said trying to pull his hand away from Harry's tight grip.
"Nope you're coming with me and are having dinner. Remember rule 2 behave yourself!" he whispered before forcing Draco to walk with him. Draco sat next to Harry scowling and turned to face the Ron.
"What's your name?"
"Ron,"
"Do you know your hair is on fire?" he said tilting his head to the side.
Harry started to laugh as he heard what Draco has said. "You see Draco Ron's hair isn't on fire it's just ginger, while yours is blonde Ron is ginger," He tried to explain.
"Funny colour," he said before reaching for a bun.
"Dinner first then you can have one of them," Harry said pulling his hand back.
"Draco want bun no dinner."
"Tough you either have your dinner or you have nothing at all." The blonde scowled at Harry before looking at the pie that had been placed on his plate.
"Don't want it." he said pushing it away.
"Draco stop being difficult, eat it." Hermione told him glaring.
"I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna." He repeated over and over. The Slytherins at the other side of the room smirked, pleased about how Draco was behaving. The Gryffindors were glaring at the young boy becoming annoyed with him, and Hermione and Harry were slowly getting angry with how he was acting.
"Mione I'm off to speak to Snape about what we discovered this morning." Hermione nodded her head and told Draco that he had to eat his pie or he'd be getting nothing all night. The glare she gave him made Draco shrink in his seat and picked up his fork stabbing his pie.
"What do you want Potter," Snape snapped staring at the boy.
"Erm I need to have a word with you after dinner if that's alright; we discovered something about the way the potion is working."
"Half 6 straight after dinner." And Harry left before he was yelled at. He then walked over to Madam Pomfrey who eyed him warily.
"What can I help you with Potter?"
"Professor Hermione is going to bring the toddlers to see you after dinner; we want to do a quick check up of them to see if they're in health. We'd also like it if we can have a copy of their medical records so we know what they are allergic too and previous injuries while they're in our care." He waited nervously for an answer.
"Once they have finished dinner take them to the hospital wing I will meet you all there," Harry thanked her before heading back to his seat. Dessert had arrived and Hermione was finding it difficult to stop Draco from eating the pudding as he still had half his pie left.
"No if you eat all your dinner I promise you can have a pudding." He said pulling the blonde's hand away from the chocolate éclairs.
"Draco full,"
"Well if you're full then you are too full for dessert."
"No just full of dinner,"
"Tough."
"Harry," said Blaise, peering his head around Hermione.
"Me have éclair dinner gone," Harry looked at the young Italian's plate and happily hand Blaise a bun.
"Not fair Draco want one." He cried glaring at Blaise who was happily eating the éclair looking at Draco smirking. The blonde scowled at him before taking a handful of his pie and throwing at Blaise before Harry and Hermione could stop him. The pie hit Blaise in the face causing him to drop his éclair and cry. Hermione scooped the crying toddler into her arms scowling at Draco. Harry took hold of his hand and smacked it. It wasn't too hard but enough for the boy to know he had done wrong. Draco sat and screamed hysterically tears rolling down his cheek. He got up and ran to towards where Professor Snape was sat but the Professor turned to him and said it was his fault and sent him back to Harry. He walked back holding his hand crying. It was then when Harry noticed that everyone was giving him evil looks. Draco stopped and looked at Hermione.
"Don't cry you shouldn't have thrown pie in Blaise's face and he didn't smack you hard." The duo decided to pack their things up and leave it was nearly half 6 and Harry couldn't wait to leave the hall.
"I think dinner in the kitchen is a much better idea in the future." He said carrying Pansy and Blaise. Draco decided to stick with Hermione and far away from Blaise who kept scowling at him.
"I've gotta go, I'm meeting Snape at half 6 on the dot and I can't be late. Pomfrey says head to the hospital wing and wait for her there." Hermione nodded and placed both children on to the floor. When he started to walk away Pansy followed.
"No you go with Hermione I need to go speak to Professor Snape, I'll be with you soon." Pansy looked up at Harry with her eyes filling with tears, and he sighed bending down he wrapped her in his arms and gave her a cuddle. "Go on you're safe with Mione you know that," he ruffle the top of her head before smiling at her.
"Quickly,"
"Yeah I'll be quick, go on." Pansy waved goodbye to Harry before walking towards Hermione, and the two boys.
