No Longer a Kid
"What happens now?" muttered Hermione as she stared at Blaise, she quietly stepped towards him and placed Teddy in his arms, and he silently snuggled closer to the stuffed animal that now seemed so small in his large arms.
"I'll inform their parents of them returning but I believe now would be best if we all leave them to their dreams they will wake sooner than later," said Dumbledore, and he left the room. Professor Snape following behind.
Professor McGonagall placed a reassuring hand on Harry's shoulder, "100 points to both Miss Granger and Mr Potter for being such excellent temporary parents for those three," she said and turned to leave the room. Harry lent against the wall as he studied Pansy, she looked rather silly in her clothes now, the pink unicorn pyjamas he had dressed her in last night had grown along with them and he wondered if he should have just stuck with the normal pink ones.
Hermione placed Dragon and Trixie in both Draco and Pansy's arms before she smiled sadly at Madam Pomfrey. "Things will get better you will see," said Madam Pomfrey and the three of them walked out of the room shutting the door behind them.
He could smell something, something yummy. His little feet left his bed and he hurried to the kitchen, he dropped to his bum and quickly descended the stairs. Once at the bottom he stood and ran to the kitchen where he spotted Harry by the stove. He ran towards him and pulled on his trouser leg, Harry turned around and smiled at him, and he ran his hand through his curly hair before lifting him on to the kitchen counter.
"Want to help me make dinner?" Harry asked and he nodded. "Nice now squeeze the puree out of the tube and put it in the pan.
He did as he was told and squeezed the reddish paste into the pan, Harry continued to stir the pot and he watched in fascination as the liquid slowly started to turn red. Harry had him turn on the tap and he filled another pan with water, pasta was dumped into it once the water started to boil.
"You're such a clever boy helping me make dinner, thank you." Harry said and he grinned.
"Welcomes Harry!" he replied.

"Someone has eaten some of my porridge," bellowed Daddy bear as he looked into his bowl. "And someone has eaten some of my porridge," whispered Mummy bear. "And someone has eaten my porridge and they've eaten it all up." cried Baby bear.
"Now that's not very nice! Goldilocks shouldn't have eaten all his food!" he said with a shake of his head. Hermione stopped and laughed, she turned the page of the book and he stretched further to see what was happening, he could see the three bears in their living room looking at their chairs.
"What happens on this page?" he asked and Hermione continued on with her story.
"The three bears walked into their room and they froze. "Someone has been sitting in my chair," bellowed Daddy bear. "And someone has been sitting in my chair," whispered Mummy bear. "And someone has been sitting in my chair and they've broken it," cried Baby bear."
"Oh no, she really naughty now! Breaking Baby's bears chair isn't nice," he said and Hermione nodded her head.
"That's right, you shouldn't break other people's things."
"They going to find Goldilocks next?" he asked and Hermione grinned.

"I'm not sleepy!" he said with a yawn, "I want to watch more telly," he demanded. He was the last of the three still awake but he was struggling to keep his eyes open. As Harry took the two upstairs Hermione reached for him, she picked him up and cradled him in her arms.
"I think you are sleepy!" she said as she slowly rocked him like one would a baby.
"I'm not sleepy," he muttered as he buried his face in her chest. He continued to yawn and rub his eyes but still managed to stay awake. Hermione continued to rock him as she began to softly sing a lullaby. He turned his head towards her and watched quietly as she sung, his fingers curled around his hair and he slowly drifted off to sleep.
Gasping Blaise shot up from his bed, he glanced around while breathing heavily. Was that all a dream? He wondered as he looked around the room, he could see Draco and Pansy across him and they were also looking around startled, almost as though they had all woken at the same time. He was certain it was a dream until his hand touched something, glancing down he frowned. Teddy was in his bed and suddenly everything didn't seem so dreamlike as before.
There were a bunch of boxes drawn on the floor with the numbers 1 to 10 written in them, she watched Hermione silently as she searched for a small rock. She glanced back to the floor and tilted her head.
"Hopscotch is a Muggle game that I grew up playing," Hermione explained and she nodded.
"Now you throw the rock and you jump in the squares but you jump over the square with the rock in. You turn around and pick up that rock on the return jump." Hermione demonstrated first. She threw the stone and it landed on number 5. Hermione repeated to jump on one leg on the single square and two legs on the double. She picked up the stone on the return and handed it to her.
She looked at the stone and threw it, number 4. Grinning she carefully hopped on one leg then two legs and then a huge jump to skip the rock square, losing her balance she fell forwards and her hands stopped her fall, she pushed herself up and jumped again. On the return she bent down for the rock and returned beside Hermione.
"I did it!" she cried happily. Hermione gave her a hug and threw the rock again.

"At home I have a ducky and a unicorn and a boat and a dolly's head and they all squirt out water," she giggled and Harry smiled. "You have bath toys?"
"Nope I'm too big for bath toys now," said Harry as he used the pink sponge to wash down her body, she picked up the bubbles in the bath and placed them on Harry's face. He chuckled at the pink bubble beard he was now sporting. Reaching down he grabbed his own bubbles and decorated them on her face, she laughed all the while. Harry reached for the shampoo and squirted it on her hair, she wrinkled her nose as he rubbed the shampoo deeply into her hair. He reached for the cup and poured the soapy suds from her hair. He repeated the process with conditioner. Once she was washed Harry picked her out of the bath and wrapped her in a fluffy towel.
She reached forwards and wrapped her arms around his neck. She rested her head against his shoulder as he swayed side by side.

She swung her legs excitedly as she glanced in the mirror. Hermione had allowed her to wear makeup and every so often she would glance in the mirror to see what she looked like. They had already decorated her nails and she would soon be doing a fashion walk. She had already chosen her favourite butterfly dress to model she just had to finish her make up. And she'd be ready.
"Looking very pretty Missy!" Hermione said as she finished applying pale pink lip gloss to her lips.
She peered around Hermione with a grin. "Get my dress on now? She asked and Hermione nodded. Hermione helped her strip out of her clothes and she quickly buttoned up her butterfly dress. She took Hermione's hand and they headed downstairs, Harry was seated on the sofa as she arrived.
She ran behind the curtain as Hermione took her seat beside him. he switched on the music and she walked out of the curtain with a pose, she strutted down the living room posing at the ends. She could see Hermione and Harry grinning and she smiled wider as she turned and stuttered back to the curtain.
Pansy looked up towards the ceiling, frozen to her spot on the bed she tried to control her breathing as she thought over what she had just dreamt. But where they really dreams? Because the second you wake up you stop imagining the tales in your head but she was awake and she could see the dream like memories replaying in her head. She glanced to her side to see both Blaise and Draco sitting up, she pushed herself up and looked at Trixie. She had forgotten about her stuffed Unicorn, picking it up she examined it and looked around the room.
He was going to be the best Seeker ever but first he had to learn how to catch. He knew Harry had a snitch in his room and he had tiptoed inside and had taken the snitch. Hurrying downstairs he ran to Harry.
"Teach to catch?" he said and held up the snitch in his hand. Harry sighed but nodded, they walked to an empty space and Harry took the snitch from his hands
"Hold your hands like this," Harry said demonstrating with his own, he copied the movement and looked up at him with a grin.
"Now when I throw it you've got to try and catch it okay?" He nodded and waited eagerly for Harry to throw the snitch. Harry threw it, and he reached forwards to grab it with his hands, he pulled his hands to his chest and grinned.
"Throw it back gently," Harry instructed and he did but it went too high and Harry had to reach to catch it.
"You're good!" he said as Harry caught it.
"Lot of practice," Harry replied with a grin, he threw the snitch back to him, he reached forwards but dropped it. "Never mind try again," said Harry as he opened his hands to receive the snitch. His frown dropped as he picked the snitch up and threw it back to Harry, his aim wasn't any better and this time he hit Harry in the face.
"Oops"

"The best fort ever!" he said as he helped Harry tie the sheets to the table leg. It was going to be his fort and if anybody wanted to get inside then they'd have to ask for permission and guess the secret password which was going to be socks.
"Pass me the broom," Harry said and he ran to get the broom. Harry was becoming the best fort builder ever!
"Can I take my fort home to show mummy and daddy?" he asked as they continued to build but Harry shook his head.
"Afraid not but we can take a picture of it to show them." He nodded his head and ran to get the camera, he side stepped the others playing and grabbed the camera off the table. He ran back to the kitchen and handed it to Harry who placed it to one side. They continued building the fort and when it was finished Harry told him to stand in front of it. Harry took the picture and he beamed brightly, he'd built a fort!

He had an important job to do, he had promised Hermione he'd help her make the beds. How he made beds he didn't know but Hermione was going to show him. He took the pillows from the bed and threw them to the ground. Hermione stripped the rest of the bedding.
"Jump on to the bed," Hermione said and he climbed on top. She handed him the cover and he grinned as the elastic around the ends stretched.
"We are going to put the stretchy bits in the corners okay?" He nodded and watched as Hermione lifted the end of the mattress and stuffed the covers around the corner. She walked around and lifted the mattress up so he could do the same, he grinned happily as his fingers pushed in the covers. They repeated it another two times before he helped Hermione stuff the duvet into it's cover.
"A little more and it'll be in," she said as she shook it. He helped push the popper studs together and Hermione threw the heavy quilt on the bed. He reached for the pillows and and placed them at the top of the bed.
"That's it all done! High Five!" she held up her hand and he slapped it with his.
It was like a cold bucket of water had been poured on him as he opened his eyes. He was gasping for breath as he sat up, he kicked away the covers that were covering his feet. He searched his surroundings and he slowly started to breath normally upon seeing the room looked like one in Hogwarts and that he wasn't alone. He looked to Blaise and then to Pansy as they looked around. He still had Dragon in his arms and he looked at him with a frown.
"What's going on?" Blaise asked uncertainly, he seemed the first to recover and he was also holding a stuffed toy.
"Either of you have any weird like dreams where you're a kid?" asked Pansy quietly as she stroked the top of her Unicorn.
"And Potter and Granger were raising us?" Draco replied and both Pansy and Blaise nodded. "What do you remember last?"
"We were in Potions and we had to do this memory restoring potion and a child memory potion and then one of yours exploded and we got covered in it," said Blaise with a frown. "Did we become kids again? I can clearly remember breaking something in Dumbledore's office but I was only a child!"
"Yup and we were given to Potter and Granger to keep an eye on us and I gave a password of socks." Draco said "and Pansy you went through accidental magic and conjured bubbles and…"
"Hippos," said both Blaise and Pansy in unison. Panic started to creep in as they quickly got off their beds, they looked more around the room recognising toys and clothes. They pushed open the door and more memories surfaced. They ran to different rooms pushing open the doors and peering inside.
Pansy gasped as stared at the pink room, there were so many toys and girly clothes. A flood of memories reappeared as she looked around, getting bedtime stories from Harry, getting dressed by Hermione. Colouring pictures and singing songs to Trixie.
The trio raced down the stairs, and paused as they looked at the TV. In the distance Blaise spotted the collection of DVDs and he collapsed on the sofa staring at the room.
"Now what?" Draco said as he scratched the back of his neck. What the hell had happened? What was going to happen now he was no longer a kid? What were they going to do now?
And they are back! Such a pain of a chapter to write, I knew I wanted to involve memories but I just didn't know how I wanted to write the chapter. I am eternally grateful to all the reviews for this story and that last chapter alone. It hit over 50 which is so amazing it's unreal. So I really decided after so many people telling me to update soon that I decided I just had too. So I'm now hoping you all enjoy it and that it was worth the wait, more to be explained in the next chapter!
