It Started With a Project

Chapter 9: more than magic

Hermione woke up early the next morning she would be going home today four long days in a hospital had come to an end Hermione was packing her few belongings and making sure that she had the babies ready for when they were to go home.

Hermione's parents made their way to the car park to collect Hermione they were nervous because their sixteen year old daughter was coming out with all the responsibilities of being a parent she was on her own even though she had them.

Hermione was greeted by her mum and dad who each took a baby in their arms Hermione managed her bag and another a nurse came to their assistance when she saw them with the fourth baby she helped them to the car and handed Hermione the baby.

Hermione was silent on the way home she had an idea of what babies were like but she never actually was the mother of one although she knew there were exhausting sleepless nights ahead of her.

They pulled into the driveway and went into their home Hermione took her things and baby Ella and Lily out while Mr and Mrs Granger took James and Harry. Hermione was greeted with the living room full of baby items such as cribs and baby clothes "thanks mum thanks dad"

Hermione's parents nodded and put the babies into the new cribs. Hermione sighed and sat down on the couch too exhausted to do anything else.

Hermione's mother sat down beside her "Hermione dear how are you going to handle this all on your own I know you have our help but what about Harry"

Hermione's father looked up from the crib "Harry Potter is their father"

Hermione nodded "yes he is why"

Hermione's dad smiled "they'll be really good and smart"

Hermione smiled and shrugged and turned to her mum " look mum I will be fine ok"

Hermione's mum nodded she headed out of the room dragging her father along with her.

"what is she going to do she needs help from the father she is sixteen for god's sake" Hermione's mum said

"look she's a smart girl she will figure it out Gemma"

Gemma looked at him "look we will contact the father ok and he will support our little girl"

Hermione's dad smiled "she takes after you with her brains"

Gemma smiled "well anyway she gave me back my phone and the number is on it so we will ring Harry"

Hermione's dad nodded "when though"

Gemma shook her head "now I have it in my pocket"

Gemma took it from her pocket and rang the number

"Hello Petunia speaking who is this"

"mrs Granger I was wondering if we could talk about Harry's fatherhood"

"excuse me you must have the wrong number"

"I do not I understand that they had a little falling out but please may we sit down face to face and talk to each other please"

"I am busy at the moment but I am sure we could make time"

"when"

"how about today six pm"

" ok may we have your address we are muggles so we will be travelling by car"

"ok it is 4 privet drive little whinging Surrey"

"thank you look forward to seeing you"

Hermione's mum put the phone down "tonight at six pm"

Hermione's father nodded

They entered the sitting room to find Hermione still sitting there "we are going somewhere tonight we best get going we have a long drive"

Hermione nodded and picked up Harry and James as her mum struggled to pick up Ella and Lily. They made their way to the car it took them three hours to get there Hermione had to feed them along the way as they were in need of it. She had no idea where they were going.

They pulled up at the driveway and let Hermione out she had no idea where they were so she just followed her parents

Vernon saw them coming and opened the door. Hermione walked into the sitting room greeting Vernon as she went she had a fair idea of where she was now . Hermione saw Harry sitting on a chair in the sitting room his face hidden beneath his hair he sat there silently as Hermione came in with the babies.

Petunia sat down beside her husband Hermione's parents sat beside Hermione "ok Harry you know why Hermione is here and it seems that they teach you more than magic at that school" Petunia said trying to be polite as there were guests present

"yeah well you know me I love having sex" Vernon scowled at him. Harry sighed he wasn't going to get into this

Hermione's mum looked at Harry she saw him looking at Hermione she knew that look it was a look of longing anybody knew that look she smiled

Hermione's father looked at Vernon "I am sure you want this dealt with appropriately" Vernon nodded "this boy has been nothing but trouble since he started that magic thing and this is a result of him going to that school"

Harry looked at Hermione's parents they were holding a baby too he had not noticed that four babies were his "Hermione I don't know if I can deal with four babies I am only sixteen after all"

Petunia looked horrified "you will look after these babies you helped create them so now you will help look after them"

Harry sighed "I do not think I can"

Gemma looked at him she realised that like Hermione he was also still only young. Harry was still a kid at the end of the day like Hermione "Harry we are just asking you to help not to do everything"

Harry sighed "look as you may well know Hermione and I are no longer speaking so I don't think I can ok"

Hermione sighed "look Harry lets not get into why we aren't talking"

Harry nodded "yeah it is a story I don't want to hear again"

Petunia looked at him "Harry you will help Hermione and you will be able to do it in fact you will move in with them"

Hermione's parents looked at Petunia and sighed she was very forward about it all "just give it a go for a while" Harry gave in

And made his way upstairs to pack his things

The journey home was silent other than Hermione snoring
