The next morning Harry woke before Neville, so he decided to get the twins ready for the day and let his husband sleep in for once.
Carefully untangling himself from Neville, he got out of bed and head to the bathroom for a quick shower. After his shower he put on a
pair of sweat pants and a tee-shirt. Harry quietly left the bedroom and went to check on Alice. He entered her room and saw that her
crib was empty. Harry panicked and was about to wake Neville when he heard giggling coming from Frank's room. Harry ran into his
son's room and saw the twins laying side by side in Frank's crib. Harry let out a sigh of relief as he walked over to the crib and picked up
his daughter. Harry looked at Alice and said,
"You scared Papa, little girl," Harry hugged Alice and then grabbed a diaper and changed her. He put Alice on the floor and then went
to change Frank. After Frank was changed he turned around to scoop up Alice but she was not in the room. Harry sighed and carried
Frank out into the Hall to look for Alice. He found Alice standing on her tip toes trying to open the door to his and Neville's bedroom.
Harry walked up behind her and put her on his other hip. Alice looked at Harry and stuck out her lower lip in a pout.
"Want Daddy." Alice said looking at Harry straight in the eyes.
"No, honey Daddy is sleeping. How about we let daddy sleep in this morning?" Harry asked the twins as he walked towards the
kitchen.
"No," Frank answered and tried you wiggle his way out of Harry's arms. Harry tighten his grip on the twins since Alice started to wiggle
like her brother.
"Want Daddy," Alice repeated with her bottom lip quivering. Harry sensing that his daughter was about to cry and wake Neville, Harry
decided to bribe the twins.
"If you two are quite for a little while, Papa will give you each a donut"
The minute he said donut the twins stopped wiggling and cuddle into Harry as He walked into the kitchen. When he got into the kitchen
Harry put the twins in their high chairs and got them one of the donuts cut it in half and put a piece on each tray. Harry then poured milk
into their sippy cups and opened up a can of fruit so that the twins would also have something healthy for their breakfast. After putting the
fruit in bowls and got to spoons for the twins, he put the bowls on their trays. Then Harry started to make him self some coffee. He was
surprised that he already got so much done and he did not even have his first cup yet. Then Harry decided to write the letter to his boss
that he was resigning. Harry checked on the twins who where happily eating their breakfast and then walked over to the drawer where he
and Neville keep the parchment, quills, and ink, gathered them and walked back to the table. When Harry got to the table he put down
the writing utensils and walked over to the coffee pot and poured him self a cup and grabbed a donut. After getting settled with his
breakfast he started his letter.
Dear Head Auror Schmidt,
This letter is stating my two weeks notice. I intend to work the full two weeks and to help train another Auror for my replacement.
Sincerely,
Harry Potter.
Satisfied that his letter was short and to the point, Harry put it aside and checked on the twins. Harry looked up just as Alice dumped her
fruit on the floor. Harry took a swig of his coffee, then said
"You two must be ready for your bath."
Frank started shaking his head and started to chant no bath. Alice joined in the chant when Harry took them out of their high chairs. The
twins just got louder as Harry headed down the hall towards the bathroom. Meanwhile, Neville was waking up to the sound of his
children screaming no bath as loud as they could. Groaning as he got out of bed Neville headed toward the noise. When he got to his
children's bathroom and opened the door, he found Harry struggling to undress Frank and keep a naked Alice in the bathroom. Harry
did not notice when Neville opened the door, but Alice did and when she saw Neville she looked up and squealed,
"Daddy,"
Alice ran over to Neville and wrapped her arms around his legs.
"Good morning Alice," Neville said as he picked up his daughter and gave her a kiss. Alice gave Neville a sloppy kiss in return. Harry
smiled up at Neville and said,
"Good morning, Love. Did you enjoy sleeping in?"
"Yes it was nice, thank you," Neville answered as he smiled down at Frank who was hugging his legs.
"Guess what I have done already this morning," Harry said looking at Neville with a bit of pride in his eyes.
"What?" Neville asked as he headed over to the bath tub and turned on the water.
"I got the twins up and changed their diapers. I also got them their breakfast, and wrote that letter to my boss. The only thing I
have to do is mail it."
"Why don't you go and do that while I bathe the twins?" Neville suggested.
"Are you sure, Hon. I don't mind giving them a bath," Harry said.
Neville looked at his husband and said,
"You have done so much already and I like giving them a bath."
"Ok, ok. I'll go send my letter off with Hedwig. We should then fire call Hermione and Ginny and tell them." Harry said as he
turned to leave the bathroom.
"Alright we will," Neville answered as he put the twin in the bath tub.
Harry headed back to the kitchen and got is letter. After he sealed he slipped on his shoes and headed outside to Hedwig's coop. After
giving the letter to his owl and telling her where to send it, Harry walked back into the house with a smile on his face. Has he entered the
house, Harry heard the twins giggles coming from the bath room and heard Neville talk lovingly to them. Harry knew at that instant as he
stood in the kitchen listening to his family that he made the right decision. In two weeks he would be able to spend all his time with the
people he loved the most his family.
