This here's the big chapter where Harry and his entire new family comes out from hiding after receiving new information on the two DE spies. Gonna be a bit of drama here with some people but it will all work itself out in the end.
I don't own Harry Potter.
Enjoy!
At the mansion, a month later:
A month after the babies were born Harry realize how much he truly missed being back home with the others. His family was his new priority now, but he did miss seeing everyone; Neville, Luna, Blaise, Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, Seamus, Dean, Dennis, all of his friends and some of his teachers. Draco missed them all too, but they both agreed until the Auror office could convince them otherwise they would not return until the time was right.
Narcissa had been a good sleeper for the first few days of her life, but now she woke up every two hours like every other newborn and when she woke the others woke. It was insane getting up so many times a night but they helped each other out such as when Draco had Cissa Harry would take Stella or Soran while Remus or Sirius would take the other and either Sev or Lucius had Aster. They all took turns, but the 'mothers' bonded more with the infants than the daddies.
"Harry have you seen Cissy's bottle?" Draco called from the nursery.
"I think it's in the kitchen I'll get it!" Harry rushed to the kitchen seeing Kreacher preparing several bottles with Tippy. He grabbed three since Soran and Stella were to be fed soon too, and ran back up to the nursery where Draco was rocking their daughter. "Here." He handed the bottle to his fiancé.
"Thanks." Draco yawned and put the nipple in Cissa's mouth; she suckled on it fast and Harry laughed.
"She was hungry."
"She's always hungry; Molly said it was normal for most newborns to have big appetites." Harry kissed his love's cheek and grabbed the two bottles.
"I'm taking these to Remy and Siri, I'll be right back."
"Check on Father and Sev will you?" Harry nodded and walked straight to his dads' room. Soran was sleeping but Stella was awake in Sirius' arms.
"Morning guys." Harry handed the bottles to Remus and Sirius took one giving it to Stella. "You having any luck with sleep?" Remus laughed.
"If only…these two can't do anything together and they're twins. If Stella's asleep then Soran's awake but if Soran's hungry then Stella's wet."
"Well they are fraternal twins; they might not start until they reach a year old." Harry looked in Soran's cradle seeing the little pup sucking his thumb sleeping soundly. "We're not having much luck either, Cissa wants everyone up when she's up."
"We know." The two men said together. "When she wakes one or both of them wake."
"Keep it up, they'll sleep on their own soon enough." Harry laughed and hugged them both before kissing his siblings. "I'm gonna check on Luc and Sev, they're probably having more luck than us." Harry left and as soon as he went to Sev and Luc's room, he heard snoring, light snoring. He looked into the door and saw Severus sleeping on the bed next to the cradle where Aster was snoring lightly. Lucius was coming out of the shower, wearing his long black robe.
"Shhh." He said with a finger to his lips. Harry nodded and quietly stalked away from the room back to his own.
"How are they?" Draco asked, he was still feeding Cissa.
"My dads are busy with the twins, Soran's sleeping like a log and Stella's hungry as a bear. Your dads are having better luck, Aster and Sev were sleeping but Lucius just got a shower." Draco smiled.
"They have more experience, Father always said when Mother had me she would have help with him or Sev. I didn't realize the connection until…you know." Cissa stopped drinking her formula and Draco threw the burp rag over his shoulder. He set her on him carefully and started patting her back.
"Sweetie…good girl." Draco loved whispering to her, it kept her calm.
"She's our little beauty." Harry took a seat next to them and watched as Draco kept burping Cissa.
"Harry…" Draco looked at him. "I'm worried, when we go back or if we go back, what will others say?"
"Since when do you care what others say?" Harry laughed.
"I mean I know we have a lot of supporters, but there are still some crazed fans of yours out there that think I'm not good enough for you."
"Well they can go to Hell." Harry regretted that after getting a glare from Draco.
"Not in front of the baby!" he scolded him.
"Sorry…" Harry watched the two together and then laughed.
"Burp!" Cissa let out a loud burp and both men laughed.
"Good girl." Draco put her down in her cradle and turned on the mobile Molly had given them. It played a soft lullaby that put her to sleep or at least kept her occupied. It had unicorns and dragons encircling the top of the crib and it made blue and pink lights appear enough to not disturb the baby.
"Look Draco, I don't care what anyone else thinks of you all that matters is that I love you and Cissa. No one can convince me otherwise, I won't abandon my family." he kissed Draco's lips. "I love you both too much." Draco smiled at him.
"We love you too, don't we honey?" Draco looked at their daughter who wiggled in response. "I'll take that as a yes." Draco kissed Harry's cheek.
"Boys?" they turned as they heard Remus' outside the door. "Hermione and Molly are here, they want to meet with us."
"Coming." Harry turned to Draco. "Get some rest love, you look like you could use a nap."
"But Harry…" Harry stopped him with a finger to his lips.
"No buts, take a nap you deserve it." Harry kissed Draco once more and left their room. He met up with Remus and Lucius in the parlor where Molly and Hermione were both sitting.
"My my don't you all look exhausted?" Molly teased.
"Don't rub it in." Lucius groaned rubbing his forehead. "What's this about?"
"Kingsley and Minerva contacted us this morning, they arrested Creevey." Harry's eyes widened.
"When?"
"Last night, someone caught him sneaking into the joke shop and George stunned him." Hermione. "He was coming to get me, to find out where you had gone." Harry sighed. "They hauled him to Azkaban, and he confessed to everything under Veritaserum."
"What about Nott?" Lucius asked and Hermione shook her head.
"Creevey hasn't seen him since you disappeared, they think he's fled the country."
"Are they looking still?" Harry.
"Yes, they extended their jurisdiction so if Nott has crossed border lines he'll be brought back to London. In the mean time since Colin confessed there won't be a trial, he's been sentenced to life in Azkaban."
"That's good news, does this mean we can return home?" Molly looked up at him.
"Harry…they haven't caught Nott yet it may not be a good idea."
"If I know Theodore Nott like I think I do, then he won't dare show his face around here unless he has backup and all his friends deserted him plus his family's in Azkaban." Lucius. "I think we should go home, Harry and Draco have agreed to stay with me and Severus at the Manor, as have Remus and Sirius until their home is finished."
"Are you sure?" Hermione's face told Harry what she was thinking.
"Draco and Sev both have coped with what happened there, they have us and the kids." Hermione smiled.
"Alright, I'll help you if you need me. George is busy with inventory all afternoon and Fred's managing the store since Angelina got sick."
"Well right now Severus and Draco are napping with the babies, Sirius is changing the twins and he'll be down for a nap later." Remus replied with a yawn.
"Ah man don't do that!" Harry yawned after and then Lucius yawned. "It's contagious!"
"Sorry." Remus.
"Well…listen why don't you boys go lie down for a bit? Hermione and I will watch the children if you want." Harry gave a huge sigh of relief.
"Thank you Molly, Cissa's napping right now but she'll wake soon I know it." Harry groaned and stretched.
"Well go on, get some sleep." All three daddies did as told going back to their rooms to rest. Draco was snoozing away on his and Harry's bed and Cissa was sleeping soundly in her cradle. Harry pulled a blanket over Draco and himself before snuggling close to his fiancé.
Almost two hours later:
"WAAHHHH! WAAHHHHHH!" Cissa's loud crying made Harry jump from the bed; Draco woke up suddenly and went straight to her.
"Shh, shh it's ok baby Daddy's here…" Draco rocked her carefully and she started to calm down. "She's got my mother's mouth."
"Definitely." Harry rubbed his aching bottom since he landed on the hard floor entangled in the blanket. "She looks like her, and screams like her so we made a good name choice."
"Hush." Draco glared at him and continued rocking Cissa until Molly came in.
"I heard the baby, is she alright?"
"She's fine, scared the bonkers out of me but fine." Molly laughed.
"May I?" she held out her arms and Draco passed Cissa over. "Hello dearie." She cooed at the little girl.
"She likes you." Draco smiled rubbing his eyes.
"Oh…" Molly began but stopped as three other cries filled the mansion. "Oh dear sounds like the others are awake." Hermione came in holding her ears.
"Those kids can scream." She winced.
"It means they want attention." Molly. "Listen boys I know you plan on going home but I strongly suggest you stay close to your fathers."
"Home?" Draco looked at Harry.
"They arrested Creevey last night, no sign of Nott but he confessed to everything." Harry kissed Draco's cheek.
"Nott's still out there?"
"Don't worry love, he's too much of a coward to come back without backup."
"Harry's right, listen Draco everyone has let it down to where they think you and Harry ran off together which is true for the most part. You have a home to go to, plus all your friends miss you." Hermione smiled at them and then Draco smiled.
"When can we go home?" Draco looked up at Harry.
"As soon as everyone's ready." Speak of the devil Sirius and Remus walked in with a twin in each arm.
"How's about next week?"
"Think we'll be ready by then?" Sirius smirked.
"Us no, them yes." He gestured to the babies and everyone laughed. Lucius came in behind them and had Aster in his arms.
"The manor's all fixed up and ready, we can leave whenever."
"Awww!" Hermione cooed at Asterion. "Can I hold him?" Lucius smiled and passed him over. Hermione just loved babies the same as Molly, one could only imagine what would happen if she and George had a kid.
"Then it's agreed, we leave next week." Sirius.
"Agreed." This was not going to be easy, but they'd make it through.
A week later:
All of their things were packed and ready to go, the house elves had gone back to the Manor to unpack and now all the three couples had to do was make an appearance in Diagon Alley. Hermione, George, Molly, Bill, and Fred were going to meet them there, and Draco had wrote to his friends that he would be returning soon as did Harry with his. All the babies were dressed in handmade jumpers by Molly and Andromeda, in their little strap on baby carriers, fully changed and fed, ready to go.
"You look great Draco." After Draco had lost most of his baby weight he felt brighter and healthier than before.
"Thanks love, we ready?" all the other parents nodded. "Let's go." They were flooing to the Ministry to make it easier to get to Diagon Alley. Kingsley was having Tonks and Charlie, who were now an official couple, meet them there.
"There you are." Tonks greeted all of them. "Hello cousin." She winked at Draco.
"Hello Dora." Draco smiled.
"They are adorable!" her bright smile came as she kissed all four children on their heads. "Can't wait to see what happens when they go to Hogwarts."
"That's years away Tonks, let's just get this over with." Harry held Draco's hand as they were escorted into another area to reach Diagon Alley, and the minute they set foot in the crowded place they were ambushed by camera flashes and reporters.
"Mr. Potter is it true you're married to Draco Malfoy?"
"Draco Malfoy is it true you made Ginny Weasley dump Harry for his prestige?"
"Is it that little baby yours Mr. Potter?"
"Mr. Black are your children werewolf cubs?"
"Mr. Malfoy is it true you were never truly married to Narcissa Black?"
"Mr. Potter is it true your friends betrayed you to the Dark Lord?"
"Are all of those children yours Mr. Potter?"
"Is it true Draco Malfoy is your muse Mr. Potter?" that did it, the babies were starting to cry but before Harry could say anything someone else beat him to it.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY YOU LEECHES!" Hermione's loud screaming voice boomed over them all and the reporters made a path for them to follow through. They made their way through the crowd and into WWW, closed for the day so everyone could get a moment to collect themselves.
"You all alright? The babies alright?" all the couples nodded, thankfully the babies were sleeping peacefully. "We know you said no surprises, but we couldn't resist." Fred went to the back and unlocked a door, letting out Pansy, Blaise, Crabbe, Goyle, Neville, Luna, Dean, and Seamus.
"Hello everyone." Luna came up and hugged Draco and Harry, followed by the rest.
"Aww who's this cute little princess?" Pansy.
"Narcissa Lily Malfoy-Potter." Draco answered her.
"She's adorable, what're the others' names'?"
"Soran and Stella Black." Sirius.
"Asterion Leo Snape-Malfoy." Severus.
"Good names, bit odd though." Seamus received a nudge from his boyfriend. "Good to have you back Harry, Draco."
"Thanks guys, how've things been at school?" Dean laughed.
"Everyone knows why you left, but only a few have grudges."
"Who?" Lucius.
"Lavender Brown, Romilda Vane, mainly old fans and flames of Harry's." Seamus shook his head and hand.
"Lavender's just mad cuz she blames Harry for Ron's death, she'll come around sometime I'm sure." Hermione.
"Is Cho?" Harry.
"Nah, she's fine she's dating Corner now. You can say that they both found love after the war." Neville. "Your kids are cute, little Blacks, Malfoys, and Potters, just hope you don't end up like the Weasleys."
"What is that supposed to mean?" the twins.
"You may as well have more Harry, I remember how you used to stare at Draco all the time in class, how you undressed him in your mind." Luna smirked.
"Ms. Lovegood!" Severus covered his mouth in shock.
"Hey, every girl has an eye for love." Hermione giggled leaning into George.
"Well, we'll just have to deal with all the drama. I can ask Kingsley to schedule a press conference or an interview for the daily prophet to clear up the rumors."
"You can talk to me too, the Quibblers gotten better business since you both came together." Luna's offer was a good one.
"I'll talk to Kingsley." Lucius. "But for now let's just head home, get these kids settled in."
"Good idea."
"Aw but you just got back." Pansy whined, she loved babies too much.
"We can get together tomorrow Pansy, but we're tired and we need to get unpacked." Pansy smiled and kissed Draco's cheek.
"Ok, we'll see you then. Should we come to your place?" Draco nodded.
"We'll meet at 2?" they nodded.
"Let's go, Cissa's waking up." The little blonde baby started stirring in her carrier. They bid their friends goodbye and left through the shop's private floo to Malfoy Manor.
Not as much drama that I wanted to put in, but I wanted to make it to the point of where they can rest since Creevey's out of the way. Lavender and Romilda will appear in the next chapter and Harry will give an interview to the Daily Prophet and the Quibbler. Nott will return after that, and then Harry and Draco's wedding, sounds short yes, but it will be long or at least I'll try to make it.
