I'm glad you liked this story my faithful viewers, and I hope to hear from you again in the future when I write the sequel to this though that may not come for a bit. Also if you would like I am posting a new HP story and it involves Harry having a missing twin sister who's been locked in psych wards most of her life.
Anyway thank you all for the great reviews and check my profile to see my new fic I'm up for reviews. It's called 'The Hidden Sister' and the full summary's in the first chapter.
Enjoy!
Time skip, 6 months later:
Things had gone fantastic for Harry and his family; Harry and Ivan had received honorary positions in the Auror Office and each had their own teams, Hermione had done greatly in her part with Kingsley editing the laws favoring the purebloods and giving house elves certain rights during their enslavement. Pan on the other hand, like Molly Weasley, had become a pregnant house wife. She was at home constantly taking care of Gabriel and trying to balance her heavily pregnant body.
"Ugh….Kreacher, Dobby could you get me some tea and cake please this little one's hungry." She rubbed her swollen stomach and the two elves left quickly. Gabriel was down for a nap and Hermione was coming by soon, and like Pan she was ready for her baby to come.
"Kreacher has brought mistress's favorite cake." The old elf had a slice of triple strawberry and chocolate cake on a small plate.
"And Dobby has brought Lady Potter's Jasmine Tea." A small cup of tea placed on the table and soon the swish of flames was heard.
"Pan? Are you here?"
"In the kitchen Hermione." The woman walked, or more like, hobbled into the kitchen and sat on the chair offered. "Cake? Tea?"
"Yes please, I can't keep this one well fed all I can do is eat eat eat!" Pan laughed.
"Me neither, but other than these kids we'll have our figures back in no time. And…Hermione forgive me if I offend you but…yours looks a little bigger than mine." Hermione's eyebrows rose above her forehead and she touched her belly.
"Well, I can't deny it but…I think it may be twins." Pan's eyes widened with joy.
"That's great! Does Ivan know?" Hermione shook her head.
"No, I was hoping to keep it a surprise until the birth. I'm hoping it's a boy and a girl but I could be wrong." Pan almost sputtered her tea.
"Hermione Lestrange admits she could be wrong, Hell must have frozen over!" they laughed and soon finished their snacks. "Come I'll show you the nursery." Pan struggled to stand and helped Hermione leading her up the magic stairs; Harry had charmed them to move like an escalator since Pan's feet were badly swollen.
"Harry's done well, how long's he been gone?"
"Since this morning, Kingsley wanted him to look into a minor smuggling case at Borgin and Burkes. He said he'd be home as soon as he could, what about Ivan?"
"The same, but he's working out some small cases with some possible imperius curses used on some children. So have you thought of names for your daughter?"
"We have a few, Harry wants to name her Lily after his mother, but I was hoping to name her something a little less common. Lillian was what I thought, that way she has a fuller name than just Lily."
"That sounds good, we haven't really thought much of names yet. We were going to try after the baby was born. Oh my…" when they approached the nursery Hermione could not hide her shock. The whole room was decorated like an ocean reef, fish swimming across the walls and other creatures sheltering on coral and rocks. Sea anemones moved so life-like with the clownfish and the eels, it was marvelous.
"It was Aunt Andy's idea, she helped me set up and we just finished yesterday. And look…" Pan waved her wand onto one of the rocks, and out from behind came a mermaid who sat on top and sang a lullaby.
"It's beautiful, our nursery's more that of a rainforest with birds singing." Pan laughed.
"I know, Ivan told me he wanted something just as good as this so he picked a rainforest scene. I haven't seen it yet but I'm sure it'll be great. Ow…." Pan's back began to hurt.
"You alright?"
"Yeah, just my back. Hermione have you had any pains lately?" Hermione nodded.
"Slight ones, but nothing serious. Where's Gabriel?"
"Oh he's asleep, after he ate I put him down for a nap. Tell me when are you due again?"
"Soon, but I think….ow!" Pan hobbled to her side.
"What's wrong?" her answer came with a sudden splash onto the floor. "Oh dear God, Kreacher Dobby!" the elves popped in the room immediately. "Dobby fetch Luna and my aunts quickly, Hermione's baby's coming! Kreacher find the healer hurry!"
"Yes mistress!" the elves vanished and Pan carefully helped Hermione into the guest room, until she started having more pains. "OW!" a sharp one came down, worse than the ones when Gabriel was born. "Oh no not now! AH!" soon Andromeda and Narcissa came in with Dobby.
"Oh girls we came as fast as we could, Pan?"
"Ah! H-Help Hermione…her babies are coming…" Pan hunched over as a warm liquid fell over her knees. "YAH!"
"Oh no Pan you're in labor too! Cissy you take care of Hermione I have Pan."
"Right!" Narcissa eased Hermione on one side of the bed while Andromeda helped Pan. A loud cry echoed through the room. "Oh dear." Dobby then appeared with Luna.
"It's time already?" she asked running to Pan's side.
"Y-Yes Luna…p-please look after Gabriel, please!"
"Of course!" Luna raced off to Gabe's room and then Kreacher appeared with two healers, Addison and Mater, the midwives from St. Mungo's.
"Ladies you weren't due for another week, oh well we'll have to make due won't we?" Addison looked at Mater and the women took their positions at the girls' legs. "Where are the fathers?"
"Dobby will fetch masters!" the elf disappeared. Kreacher bowed and left the room in the same direction Luna had left in.
"Alright dears, this isn't going as well as we'd hoped but your babies will be here in no time. Mrs. Malfoy could you get some blankets and a basin of water?" Narcissa left in a hurry after kissing Hermione's sweaty forehead.
"Ahh…please, Ivan…" the poor girl cried out and Pan took her hand in hers. "Pan…!"
"I-It's ok…it only hurts temporarily…OW!" another contraction came over her, more painful than the last one.
"PAN! HERMIONE!" the girls looked up to see their husbands coming to them.
"We came as soon as we heard, what's happening?" Harry looked at the healer at Pan's legs.
"They're close Mr. Potter, Mr. Lestrange. The babies should be coming any minute but they're not fully dilated yet. It won't be long though." Pan screamed as another contraction hit.
"Harry Potter I'll kill you for this!" she screamed again squeezing Hermione's hand. Harry laughed a little and winced as she grabbed his forearm and squeezed.
"Hermione darling, are you alright?" she glared at Ivan.
"DO I LOOK LIKE I'M ALRIGHT TO YOU? YOU MADE ME FAT AND PUT THESE DEMONS IN ME!" Ivan cowered a bit and Andromeda laughed as Narcissa came back with the supplies.
"How much longer?" Addison looked at her.
"Not too much, almost there girls…" Hermione's hand clenched around Pan's tightly but Pan didn't care since she was gripping Harry's five times tighter.
"I have no feeling in my left hand." Harry winced.
"Deal with it." Pan growled. "Aaaahhhh! W-What's happening…?" she had a sudden urge to push. Addison glanced down and spread Pan's legs a little wider.
"Oh dear, this little one's about ready to come. Now Mrs. Potter on three I want you to push." Hermione squealed in pain.
"Mrs. Lestrange, you do the same you're ready. Now one, two…three push!" Mater said calmly and both girls cried out with the long pushes.
"It's alright girls you can do it." Narcissa and Andromeda encouraged them. Pan and Hermione pushed hard but they knew there was more to come.
"Good girls good, now on three again I want you to push. One…two…three…push!" both breathed deeply and gave another long push. "Good job girls, the heads are coming. One…two…three…push!"
"GAAAHHHH!" the girls screamed and they could feel they were close.
"You're doing great girls, you're almost there!" Harry encouraged and winced again as Pan squeezed the life from his hand. "Ah…H-Healer Addison is it….almost done ow?"
"Just about Mr. Potter, alright girls one more should do it. One…two…three…push!" one last scream and Pan felt as if a large weight was taken off her after hearing a loud cry besides her own. "Congratulations you two, a beautiful baby girl." Pan leaned back releasing Harry's hand before glancing at Hermione.
"Mrs. Lestrange, a beautiful baby boy." The midwives handed the crying babies to Andy and Cissy to clean, and then Hermione screamed again. "Oh dear…I think there's another one…" Ivan looked at Hermione and back to Mater.
"Another one?"
"It appears so, Mrs. Lestrange please take a deep breath and get ready to push alright?" Hermione gave a hasty nod and Pan held her shoulder with Ivan's hands on both. Ivan kissed Hermione's sweaty forehead and prepared for the next round.
"P-Please…" Hermione was desperate for the baby to come out.
"Alright, one…two…three…push!" Pan's eyes widened as she watched Hermione's face contort in agony, but soon a cry followed after her own and she saw Healer Mater holding a really slippery baby. "It's another boy! Congratulations." Hermione relaxed and began to tear up with Pan as both women were comforted by their husbands. Harry kissed Pan's sweet lips and Addison came over holding their bundled daughter.
"Here you are mummy and daddy, your little angel." She handed her to Pan, and Harry had tears in his eyes.
"She's beautiful…she has your eyes Pan."
"And your hair, it's a mess." Andy joked and everyone laughed. After a few minutes of cleaning and healing the healers left through the floo and both aunts were glooming over the newborns. Hermione and Ivan each had a twin in their arms; they couldn't look any happier, both twins had their father's black hair and their mother's brown eyes; truthfully they looked more like Hermione.
"They're all so gorgeous, just like their parents." Cissy proclaimed and kissed both mothers. "I'll go tell Lucius and Draco, I'm sure they'll want to see them."
"Of course, Harry can you go find Luna? I want Gabe here to see his sister." Harry kissed but didn't get far out of the room.
"Let me, you need a little time together." Andy left with Narcissa. Pan looked down at her baby girl, she had her father's messy black hair, and her eyes but she resembled Harry more; she would definitely be a daddy's girl.
"Hello everyone." They all looked to see Luna holding Gabriel in the doorway; Kreacher and Dobby were behind as well. "You up for some visitors?"
"Of course come on in Luna." Harry took Gabe and held him above Pan to see his baby sister. "What do you think Gabriel? You like your new sister?" Gabe giggled and tried to touch the baby but Harry stopped him. "No no son, be gentle."
"Ha ha, Harry he doesn't know what gentle means." Hermione laughed kissing her sons' foreheads. Soon the rest of the family came through, Andromeda, Lucius, Narcissa, Draco and Astoria, even Ron and Lavender.
"Awww they're adorable!" Lavender couldn't contain her excitement. "Hermione…twins?" Hermione smiled.
"I couldn't keep them a secret forever could I? I didn't even tell Ivan about them." Ivan nodded with her.
"I'm surprised, I wouldn't have minded if I had two girls but two boys oh my!" everyone laughed and Lucius walked over to see a closer view of the babies.
"I guess they'll be sharing a birthday together, what are their names?" all four exchanged looks and Hermione spoke up first.
"For our boys, Lucius Orion Lestrange…" she pointed to the twin in Ivan's arms. "And Severus Craven Lestrange." She gestured at the one in her arms; both boys cooed at their new names and Pan loved their little smiles she could see. Lucius looked like he would cry, Narcissa held him by the shoulders while Draco smiled leaning into Astoria's embrace. "Figured we'd name them after two of the bravest and craziest people we've ever met." Everyone laughed again then turned to Pan and Harry.
"Harry?" she looked up at him.
"You do it darling, I know you want to." Pan smiled and stroked her daughter's hair.
"Lillian…Lillian Haven Potter. Or Lily if you want to call her that Harry, I know you wanted to name her after your mother. I just thought she needed a fuller name that just Lily." Harry's eyes were full of tears and held them all together before turning to everyone else.
"Now as for the godparents of our daughter and son, well….." he looked at Pan and she nodded. "We want Ron to be the godfather." Ron nearly fainted off his feet if it weren't for Lavender.
"Me? Are you sure mate?"
"Of course Ron, Pan and I both discussed it and we think you'd make a great godfather." Ron and Harry hugged briefly before Pan looked at Hermione.
"Your turn." Hermione sat up a bit in her spot on the bed.
"We had thought about this for a long time, and we finally made a decision last night." She paused and exchanged glances with Ivan. "We want Draco to be the godfather of our twins." Draco nearly fainted.
"Really? You want me to be their godparent?" Ivan walked over with little Lucius in his arms.
"You bet so cousin, Hermione and I both figured since Harry made Ron Gabe and Lillian's godparent you'd be a greater choice for our boys. No offense Ron…" Ron just smiled.
"None taken mate, I'm happy for all of you."
"So are we." The Malfoys gathered around the family and exchanged hugs and kisses around.
"Well we're going to head home, you girls need your rest. Take good care of them Harry, Ivan." Narcissa and Andy left with the family after more hugs and kisses to the babies. As soon as they left Dobby and Kreacher came back with some bassinets levitating in the air.
"Masters…" Kreacher bowed. "Kreacher is honored to meet the new additions to the Lestrange and Black family."
"Dobby is honored as well."
"Thank you Dobby, Kreacher. Now before you go on could you prepare the baby formula, I have a feeling these three will be hungry soon."
"Of course master." The elves bowed and left the room in a flash. Harry put Gabe down quickly and took Lillian from Pan.
"You get some rest girls, we'll watch the babies." Pan's eyes let the tears fall as she watched her husband and brother bond with their children, her family. As soon as Harry set down little Lillian he instantly went to her side wiping the tears away. "What's wrong love?"
"Nothing's wrong, i-it's just…I'm just so happy. Ivan and I…we have you and Hermione and now we have a full family together. It's wonderful…" Harry kissed Pan's head and then to her cheek and lips.
"It is wonderful, we both have what we've always wanted and more." He looked to Hermione and Ivan. Hermione had fallen asleep and Ivan was rocking the twins.
"Indeed so my brother, our family is perfect. You and Pan, me and Hermione, we're all family." Pan's eyes watered up again and she held Gabriel in her arms. They had everything, and the future was looking bright ahead.
"I love you Harry."
"I love you too Pan."
"Hey don't forget about me!" Ivan said with a pout and they laughed; Pan leaned into Harry's arms before sleep overcame her.
They had the perfect life, and the perfect family. Everything they could ever want, all thanks to Albus Dumbledore; all was right and well with the world, and nothing could ruin it.
