"Found you!" Hugo shouted.
"Aw! Rose it's your fault!" Scorpius said.
"You sneezed." Rose said.
"I guess you're right. Whose turn is it now?" Scorpius asked.
Draco heard the children down the hall playing, and he couldn't feel happier. Hermione and the children had adjusted the past week really well and today they planned to go into town today, little did Hermione know Draco was planning on splurging Rose and Hugo with everything they could ever want.
At the sound of the floo, Hermione came downstairs and Draco was currently working up his in office. But Hermione was not surprised to see Harry Potter dusting off his clothes in his living room.
"Hello Harry." Hermione said, coming into the living room.
"Hi Hermione." Harry said.
"Who is it, Hermione?" Draco called from his office.
"Just Harry." Hermione replied, and Harry stifled a laugh. Draco closed up his folder and started down to the living room passing by the children's rooms. Hugo came running out and Draco laughed as the small redhead bumped into his knees.
"Hey there, kiddo." Draco said, picking him up.
"Are you done?" Hugo asked. Hermione had told the children not to both him because he was doing some paperwork but he couldn't focus on it anymore.
"For now." Draco said resting the boy on his stomach over Draco's shoulder. Hugo laughed as he squirmed and Draco found himself laughing as well.
"Rose! Scorp! He's done!" Hugo called and the other two children came out of the bedroom as well.
"What was that for?" Hermione asked her best friend.
"Oh nothing." Harry said, coughing into his hand to suppress another laugh.
"Tell me." Hermione demanded.
"Fine, it's just you two seem very domestic." Harry said and Hermione looked at him oddly but before she could respond she heard a fit of giggles come from the stairway and then Draco came down the steps with the children.
"Uncle Harry." Rose and Hugo said at the same time. Rose reached him first only because Draco had to put Hugo down.
"Hey there guys, how have you been?" Harry asked, rubbing Hugo's hair much to his annoyance. Draco had learned that much like his own son Hugo hated people touching his hair.
"Good. Draco is really nice." Rose said and Hugo nodded in agreement. Hermione looked over to Draco, expecting a smirk across his face but she was surprised when it was a genuine smile mixed with a bit of blush.
"Hey Scorp, come on over here." Harry said with a laugh as he sat down on the sofa.\
Hugo sat on the arm next to him but Harry put his arm around the boy to make sure he didn't fall while Rose cuddled up to his other side. Scorpius looked up at his father as if asking permission but Draco just patted his back slightly nudging the four year old closer to Harry.
Scorpius climbed up on Harry's lap turning around to face his father and Hermione. Draco sat down in the armchair while Hermione sat on the arm of it leaning her leg over the side.
"So Harry what can we do for you?" Draco asked.
"Well Ginny left yesterday for her match in Belgium so I have the kids to myself and I was wondering if we could spend the day together." Harry said.
"Where are they now?" Hermione asked.
"With Fred." Harry answered.
"You better get back soon or they'll come home with green hair or their eyebrows burned off." Hermione laughed.
"I figured the 3 of us versus the 6 of them. So what do you say?" Harry asked, tickling Scorpius' sides and the blonde started to giggle.
"Please!" Rose and Hugo said.
"You guys have to get dressed first." Draco said and the kids started up the stairs.
"Mommy! I need your help!" Hugo said, and Hermione got up patting Draco on the shoulder. As Hermione and the kids left the room Harry moved towards the end of the couch closer to Draco.
"So, how are they really doing?" Harry asked.
"They're great. I mean really. Scorpius adores them. He helps Hugo with things he can't quite do yet and just the other day he offered to play dress up with Rose when she lost at tag." Draco said. Harry listened to the former Slytherin talk while he noticed the way Draco's eyes sparkled as he talked about the three children.
"So they were okay? I just worry sometimes Ron hurt them more emotionally." Harry said swallowing, Draco knew how hard it must have been for him to admit his friend could do this to Hermione. Draco's silence didn't give Harry relief.
"They just seemed so broken. The first couple of days, it was like every time I came near them they thought.. I just want to wrap my arms them and heal them." Draco said, looking down at his hands.
"And Hermione, she just didn't deserve any of it. Someone so caring and smart should never have to go through any of that. It makes me so mad." Draco clenched his first, taking a breath before talking again.
"So where is the Weasel anyway?" Draco asked, talking through clenched teeth.
"With Ginny. I'm not worried though, she can handle herself." Harry said happily.
"Draco are you not going to get ready?" Hermione called from upstairs.
"We'll meet you at the Leaky Cauldron." Draco said and Harry left to pick his kids up at Fred's flat above the shop. He had previously lived there with George, but George moved out when he got married.
"Hello Harry!" Fred said as the bell to the shop rang.
"Where are my children?" Harry asked.
"Here." They said. Harry looked again and his children were all in spots that had been previously empty. James was on the stool they used to get to high places, Albus was on the railing by the love potions while Lily sat on the counter by Fred whom had a devilish smirk across his face.
"Very funny." Harry said, picking Lily up in his arms.
"So Harry, what are your plans for today?" Fred asked, leaning against the counter.
"Well the kids and I are going to spend the day with Hermione and the kids, and Draco." Harry said and Fred nodded. The Weasleys had been informed of their living arrangements so that it didn't get confusing.
"Well you guys have fun." Fred called as Harry walked out the shop with his three children.
"Daddy is Draco's son going to be there?" Albus asked.
"Of course." Harry responded.
"I can't wait to see Rose." James said, overly excited to see the redhead. Harry's kids hadn't seen Hugo and Rose for a month because Ginny didn't want them near Ron.
As they reached the Leaky Cauldron, Lily saw Hugo in the window and the three kids ran in. Hermione and Draco were having a conversation while Hugo was up looking through the window, and Rose and Scorpius talked different storybook characters.
"Rosie!" James shouted.
"Hu!" Lily shouted
"Lil!" Hugo replied.
"Jaime!" Rose screamed.
Rose jumped out of the booth and over Scorpius pulling James into a hug, knocking him over. Lily and Hugo just hugged normally while Albus walked over to Scorpius.
"Hi Scorp!" Albus said reaching his hand out because he knew that's how Draco taught Scorpius to greet his friends.
"Hi Albus!" Scorpius said, pulling the boy into a hug.
After eating lunch, the group went into the children's shop. It had just been put in by the Lupin family proceeding the war, and as the bell rang Teddy and Emily popped up from the counter, Teddy's blue hair contrasting his sister's red hair.
"Harry!" Teddy shouted.
"Hermione!" Emily shouted.
"What am I chop liver today?" Draco asked.
"Draco!" They laughed together jumping over the counter and running to them. Teddy hugged Harry first and Emily hugged Hermione, and they both hugged Draco.
"Children, stop screaming, your mother is asleep." Remus said, coming down the steps.
"No I'm not." Tonks replied coming up behind him.
"Harry, how good to see you." Remus said walking over and hugging his would be nephew.
"Draco, my boy." Tonks said, running over to him and picking the blonde up and spinning him around.
"My turn!" Scorpius shouted and Tonks put Draco down. Draco wobbled but Hermione caught his arm.
"Ahh, you're getting big cousin." Tonks laughed as she spun Scorpius the same way.
"Woah. I'm dizzy." Scorpius said, holding onto Tonks as she stopped.
"Hey did you guys here about the new Broom show going on over at the Quidditch shop?" Emily asked.
"Can we show them, dad?" Teddy asked.
"You guys want to go see a broom show?" Remus asked.
"Please!" The five kids chorused.
"I don't see why not." Harry said.
Remus and Tonks put one of the assistants in charge and the family of four joined them on their day. As the broomshow started, the kids were each lifted on someone's shoulders so that they could see. Tonks had Scorpius, Teddy had Albus, Emily had Lily, Remus had James, Harry had Rose, and Draco had Hugo.
"Woah." Hugo whispered in Draco's ear, as one of the men on the brooms did three flips in the air.
"This is fun, I want to do this every weekend." Draco said over the crowd to Hermione.
"Harry would get sick of us." Hermione said, in reply.
"No I mean just going out with you and the kids. I don't think I've seen Scorpius smile this much in forever." Draco said motioning his head to where Tonks was tickling a laughing Scorpius.
"Uncle Harry, you're a monkey." Rose said pulling on his ears.
"I am?" Harry asked laughing.
"You know, Blaise and Pansy are going to be back in town next week." Draco said.
"Shush, Daddy. I can't hear the man talk." Hugo shouted covering Draco's mouth with his hand. Draco had a devilish smile and he licked Hugo's hand with his tongue and the boy pulled his hand back in disgust.
"Ew." Hugo said. Draco looked to Hermione and who was laughing.
Afterwards, Remus and Tonks offered Harry to stay with them so they could help with the kids. Teddy and Emily were thrilled, so Hermione took a tired Scorpius and a bouncing Rose from Tonks and Harry and Draco apparated them home. Rose was full of energy so she was bouncing Hugo up and down on his bed much to his annoyance.
"Rosie! I'm trying to sleep." Hugo shouted.
"Well I want to go play!" Rose said.
"Go ask Scorp." Hugo said, rolling over.
"Fine." Rose walked over to Scorpius' room to find him up on his bed staring at her.
"Hey Scorp." Rose said.
"Hey Rosie." Scorpius replied.
"You look tired." Rose said.
"Thanks. Do you want to play?" Scorpius said, running a hand down his face.
"Not with you. You need sleep, come here." Rose took Scorpius by the hand and pulled him out of his bedroom and into hers and Hugo's.
"What now Rosie?" Hugo whined, kicking the covers off.
"Here, sleep in my bed." Rose helped Scorp up onto the bed and he climbed in. She pulled the covers over him and he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
"Goodnight, Hugo." Rose said, walking out of the room and settling herself into Scorpius' bed.
Draco laid out on the couch exhausted, while Hermione stepped into the room. She was looking over at him with a smile on her face until she heard him sigh and mumble something.
"Come here." He said.
"What?" Hermione asked, sitting down by his legs.
"Come cuddle with me." Draco said, holding his arms out.
"You sound like a toddler." Hermione said, and Draco sat up looking at her.
"Please?" He asked sticking his lower lip out.
"Come on sleepyhead." Hermione said, grabbing his hand and pulling him upstairs. He whined as they walked up the steps but when Hermione threatened to push him he stopped. As they passed the kids' bedrooms Draco noticed something odd.
"Hermione, why is Rose in Scorpius' room and Scorpius in with Hugo?" Draco asked.
"I don't know, come on." Hermione said, pulling him into his bedroom. She set him down on his bed but he pulled on her hand and she came down on top of him.
"Draco." Hermione gasped.
"Stay here, love. For me?" Draco asked, pulling her up to meet his sleepy pale eyes. Hermione bit her lip and nodded but she figured he couldn't see that at how low his eyes hung.
"Okay." Hermione nodded.
