It Started With a Project
Chapter 15: meeting everyone
Harry walked up the driveway of Hermione's house; it was quiet estate, which he thought to be nice. He rang the doorbell, standing there eagerly fixing his shirt waiting for an answer, a man in his late twenties with blue eyes and brown hair, which Harry believed to be Jake Hermione's boyfriend opened the door
"You must be Jake" Harry said holding out his hand for a greeting. Jake shook it off and grunted holding the door open for him to come inside
"Hermione, Harry's here" Jake called down to the kitchen
"Coming" Hermione, said wiping her hands in her apron
"Harry"
"Hermione how are you" Harry said pulling her into a tight hug
"Fine the children will be down in a moment"
Five minutes later after a lot of small talk Hermione called the children and introduced him to each
"Harry this is er Harry, he is the quiet one out of them"
Harry smiled "hi Harry"
He looked at Harry his little brown eyes filled with fear holding on to his blanket nervously, although he did have the same out of place rugged black hair that he did
"Mummy who dis" Ella asked nervously
"I thought they knew me" Harry asked shocked
"Ella this is the man from the picture your daddy"
"This is Ella Harry" Ella was so like Hermione it was unbelievable she had the brown eyes and the brown curly hair. She was the image of her mother
"Harry this is James, he has a talent for shall we say trouble"
"Do not" James said folding his arms and pouting his lips.
"Hey James" Harry said while looking at him, he saw himself when he was five, even then he was trouble
"And this is Lily she is the bossy one"
"You take after your mummy" Lily smiled a smile that reminded him of Hermione the first time he saw her she had straight hair and chocolate brown eyes
"Harry I'll leave you alone with them for a while so you can get to know tam ok"
Harry nodded and sat down beside the children. Hermione smiled and left the room, she made her way into the kitchen and sat down at the large kitchen table
"This is the man hoe that you slept with" Jake asked
"Number one he's not a man hoe" Hermione paused
"Hermione come on"
"Look I don't care what he is other than my children's father"
"Oh what and I don't provide" he said getting defensive
"Yea well no because you never have time for them" Hermione said backing slowly away from him
"You bitch"
Hermione could see that his temper was rising. She knew it, smack right there on the face. It stung like a sting from a wasp. She cowered away and jake left the room victorious, Hermione stayed there silently refusing to let anybody know what she felt like on the inside
"Ooh stop ouch oh you're hurting me" Harry said as the kids piled on him for the ever popular with them 'pile on the parents' game and they were teaching him how to play
"No we have to teach you Daddy"
Ella said forcing her body weight onto him. He had to admit it was fun though the whole being a father thing. He had to admit he could really get used to being called daddy
"Ok you pile on all you want but then I won't be able to give your treats to you," Harry said teasing each one of them
"Ok ewevwone off daddy" Lily said pulling them off
"Ok now your mummy told me that you are all big fans of sweets"
"Sweeties"
"Yes James sweets so I bought you each the biggest sweet bag I could find" he said handing them a full to the brim bag of sweets
"Ooh" they all said looking in their bags with admiration
"You like well anyway eat in small doses ok not all at once" he mimed being sick and they all considered it
"Thank you daddy" Lily said hugging him
Harry was surprised but returned the hug all the same "now remember what I told you"
"Not all at once"
"That's right or you will be very sick"
They all laughed and did the sick sign that Harry had shown them.
