Patty-cake

After what would have been their third year, Harry and Hermione passed several OWLs, and the next year finished them.
Harry got his NEWTs in magical languages for his work in parselscript and dragontongue translation. Potions Master Snape was even working on some of the healing potions using discarded dragon eggs.
Though anyone trying to make an omelet from a freshly laid egg was going to have more than the dragonette's mum and dad to deal with!
After receiving yet another book from yet another caring adult, this one from Tonks who only had one thing on HER mind, Harry approached the older of his two brides.
"Hermione, well. Now that I have a couple of NEWTs as do you, well. I was wondering. You see, there's this book. Um. We could go to Potter Castle."
"HARRY! I love you. The worst thing that I will say is no, but if this is about the book that Tonks gave you, well, she gave me a copy too. And I think it's a good idea."
"You do?!"
"I definitely want to play patty-cake with you."
Harry looked at her sideways, but she seemed sure.
"What about Luna? Won't she feel left out?" Harry asked worriedly.
Hermione smiled. "We've talked about this sort of thing. She'll want to join in. But later. I promise, we'll include her soon."
Off to Potter Castle just the two of them went

The pair made their way into a secure area. Silencing spells engaged.
MacKenzie toddled right up to Harry, no fear at all in her eyes.
"Are you here to pway wif us?" The little girl asked, her hair morphing into Hermione like curls, but with Harry's eyes.
It made him melt.
Sitting carefully on the floor next to her, Hermione started.
"Pat-a-cake. Pat-a-cake. Baker's man…"
Harry should have known that despite all of the precautions, Andi would catch them with a camera.
"I can explain!" Hermione started.
"That you grew up before your time? Both of you? And love MacKenzie and Teddy very much? I'm taking pictures for a personal book. I'm not sharing with just anyone you know."
Andi smiled and Harry spent another few minutes playing with his goddaughter.
Andi actually felt a little sorry for the young lady. Not that she wouldn't be protected! But with two fathers (one of whom was a known former death eater), and an overprotective godfather, who would have the courage to hold her hand much less date her?
