Chapter Nine- The Gang is Back Together and it Got a Bit Bigger (Harry)

Harry was sitting in the living room with his kids when he heard a crash from the front yard and heard Hera scream. He quickly opened the secret room in the wall and pushed the kids inside before sealing the room shut. He ran out front where Hera had fainted. A group of people stumbled about before someone noticed him. "Harry?" asked a girl with waist length bleach blonde hair and startling gray eyes. He raised his wand at her.

"Who are you and how did you find me?"

"Harry it's me?" said the girl as the others turned to look at them. "Don't draw your wands." Everyone stopped what they were doing.

"I don't want to repeat myself. Nobody should have been able to get through the barrier. No one except for Hermione…" Harry's eyes widened. "What happened to you? Tell me something that only Hermione would know."

"Do you want for me to tell you in front of everyone? Because you said to never speak of what happened in the Hospital Wing."

"If you are actually Hermione you are released from your oath. Now say what you have to prove then I will pass judgement." The other's eyes widened, and Hermione gulped.

"The real reason you left Hogwarts is…" Harry's eyes widened slightly. "Is not because Draco cheated on you. In fact, he never cheated on you." Everyone with the girl frowned looking confused. "You had me cast a spell to modify everyone's memories."

"Continue. If you are Hermione, then you will know the so called real reason why I left."

"You left because you were pregnant." Everyone in the group with her looked shocked. "With Draco's children and you didn't want for the dark lord to find out and use him as bait against you so you left to protect everyone." Harry had tears running down his eyes.

"It really is you." Harry ran and hugged Hermione. They were both crying slightly as they held each other.

"Is that true?" asked another voice. Harry pulled back from Hermione to see Dean, Seamus, Ginny, Pansy, Ron, Neville, Blaise, and Luna standing there. But the voice came from behind them. They parted, and Draco came forward.

"Draco," said Harry. Draco walked forward and stood in front of Harry. "I'm sorry but I had to…" Draco cut him off as he kissed him. A wave of energy shot out from them and everyone's memories were restored. Everyone smiled, and Hera sat up.

"So, Harry," said Hermione. "You must be close. Shouldn't you be lying down?"

"Oh," said Harry pulling back from Draco. "They are already born. All three of them."

"Three?" said Ron and Hermione at the same time.

"Yeah come see them. Also, this is Hera. She has been a great help to me for the past few months."

"Harry, you show them the children and I will get lunch ready. The dining room has already been set."

"Yes Hera," said Harry from where he was pressed to Draco's side. Hera turned and headed inside, and Harry and the others followed her.

Harry led everyone into the living room. "Everyone take a seat." Dean, Seamus, and Ginny settled onto one sofa, Blaise and Ron sat on the loveseat, and Pansy, Hermione, and Blaise settled onto the other sofa. Draco hovered until Harry gave him a look at which he settled into a chair. Harry drew his wand and pointed it at the wall. He muttered some words and a piece of the wall disappeared. "Come on out guys, it's safe." Out tottered three toddlers. The girls cooed.

"They look like you," said Luna. "Except for her." She pointed at Méav.

"This is Méavera Hera Potter is my oldest child. Lyla Evie Potter and the boy Killian Phoenix Potter is the youngest. The girls go by Méav and Evie. Killian goes by either Killian or Phoenix or both." Draco smiled. "Guys." Harry gathered the kids to him. "I want to introduce you to some people. Or should I say your aunts and uncles."

"All of them, daddy?" asked Méav.

"Yes darling." Pansy and Blaise looked surprised as did Dean and Seamus.

"You have a lot of siblings then," said Killian. Harry laughed.

"No, I wasn't as lucky as you are. I didn't have any siblings."

"Daddy who are they?" asked Evie.

"Well let's start over there," said Harry pointing at Hermione. "That's Uncles Blaise and Ron." They smiled at the kids. "Then we have Uncle Dean, Uncle Seamus, and Aunt Ginny." Seamus gave the kids a grin and Dean hit his arm gently. "Over there is Aunt Luna, Aunt Pansy, and Aunt Hermione." Draco looked surprised but pleased that Harry had added Pansy and Blaise.

"Harry, wait a moment," said Pansy standing. "Guys. This past few hours made me reevaluate myself as a person and I decided that I don't want to be a stuck-up pig who thinks she is better than everyone else. That doesn't make me happy, hanging with you nerds does. So, I have decided that I don't want to go by the name Pansy Parkinson anymore that's my old life and this is the new. I wish to go by the name Aurora Morning now." Everyone nodded, and Luna gave her a smile.

"What about him?" asked Killian shyly pointing at Draco.

"Do you remember the stories that I told you about your other father?" The kids nodded their eyes wide. "Go and meet him then." Harry gently pushed the kids towards Draco before standing. Draco knelt before them as they slowly approached him. Evie reached out first to run a hand along his cheek before sliding into his arms. Killian and Méav approached slower but they too accepted Draco.

"Are you our daddy also," asked Méav.

"I reckon that I am," said Draco his eyes teasing.

"He is your papa," said Harry.

"I like him," said Méav and the others nodded. Everyone in the room laughed.

"Go meet the others," said Draco gently pushing them towards the other adults. The kids ran off to see the others. "So, I guess that true love exists."

"I guess so," said Harry. He slid down the side of the chair to sit next to Draco.

"You owe me one."

"Hey you got three." Both of them laughed.

"I understand why you had Hermione curse me."

"I didn't mean for you to get hurt. I just didn't want you to get suspicious."

"You will be happy to learn that we almost managed to unite Hogwarts as a whole," said Ron as he and Hermione sat down in front of them.

"But the Dark Lord showed up," said Hermione. Harry looked scared for a moment.

"Did anyone die?"

"Yes," said Ron. Harry looked upset for a moment.

"Nobody from our side," said Hermione quickly. "A lot of Death Eaters are. And more will be before the day is over. The four talked for a little while longer while the others played with the kids.

"Lunch is ready," said Hera. Everyone got up and the kids ran back to Harry.

"Can I sit next to Luna and Aurora," asked Méav her eyes big and round. Aurora looked surprised but smiled slightly also.

"Is that how we ask?" said Harry.

"Please!" said Méav.

"It's fine with me. But you have to be good." Méav hugged Harry's legs before running back to Aurora and Luna.

"Up," said Evie. She had her arms in the air looking at Draco expectantly. Harry, Ron, and Hermione laughed, and Draco picked up Evie. Harry swooped up Killian and passed him to Ron who followed Draco into the dining room, leaving Hermione and Harry alone in the lounge.

"It's been a while hasn't it," said Hermione.

"Life won't ever be the same will it."

"No."

"Before having the kids, I would have given anything to have a different life. To be normal. But now. I wouldn't change it for the world.

"That's something I wanted to ask you about. About the kids."

"Hmm?"

"Why are they so big, so early? I mean you must have just had them."

"Well they came about three months earlier than expected which means I was pregnant before we thought. Also, they are growing quicker because of the untapped magic here. There is almost unlimited amount of magic here. The nurses said that they will grow like they are and then stop about the size of a two-year-old then not age anymore till they are two-year-old toddlers and then age normally. Most wizard kids do grow fast but mine are going to grow twice as fast."

"Ok, we better join the others. No need to keep the others waiting to eat." They both laughed before heading into the dining room to join the others.
