They spent Saturday at Andy's house with a pair of bags with the extension charms. The wizards went through the house shrinking furniture and stuffing it into the bags, while the witches boxed things up.
Because of the fire at Tonks and Remus' house, all of their few remaining possessions were here too. Andy boxed them up for Teddy so that later, he'll have a few things from his parents, even if it's just Remus' old worn cloak or Tonks' favorite old quilt. Harry thought it'd be brilliant to put that quilt on Teddy's bed one day. There were Remus' and Tonks' wedding rings as well and Harry imagined that someday he'd give them to Teddy as part of a marriage contract.
It took all day and there were many breaks to eat and to change nappies and feed babies, but for the most part the babies entertained themselves with their toys. They brought over some house elves to help and Sev and Scorp were fascinated by the elves moving about, shrinking furniture and packing up the house. The elves even cleaned the place as they emptied it, so that it'd be easier to sell.
They didn't finish on Saturday, so they came back again on Sunday and finally on Sunday evening everything was shoved into the two extended bags. They grabbed the bags and the babies and went back to the Villa, leaving the house elves with instructions to tend to the garden and the lawn and paint the walls white. A fresh coat of white paint does wonders when it comes to selling a house.
Andy moved into Druella's bedroom until the Malfoys fixed up the guesthouse at the Manor. Of course the guesthouse was where Voldemort, Nagini, Bellatrix, and Rodolphus had stayed, so it sustained far more damage than the main house. All of the damage to the main house had been on the first floor and most of that in the drawing room. Between Lucius and the elves it was fixed in a matter of days, but the guesthouse would take much longer to repair. Lucius estimated that it would be ready by the end of the month. That was fine, because they weren't planning on moving back to the Manor until after Severus' funeral anyway.
Andy spent Monday settling into Druella's old bedroom, pulling out her clothes and putting them in the dresser. She found her photos of her and Ted and of Remus and Dora that had been on her mantel above the fireplace in the sitting room, and now she put them on her nightstand. She also pulled out Teddy's basinet; the one Dora had had by her bedside for the two weeks after Teddy was born. It was a plain blue basinet and not nearly as nice as the ones Draco had, but it was Dora's and she could still picture how little Teddy had been when he had last lain in it; it'd only been two weeks, but Teddy had already put on several ounces. Finally she pulled out her large box of photos and put it on top of her dresser, so she could go through it and make Teddy an album of Remus and Tonks.
Narcissa spent Monday working on Severus' funeral arrangements. After seeing how big Remus and Tonks' funeral turned out, it was obvious she was going to need a bigger venue for Severus Snape's funeral. She had already booked the largest chapel in Britain, but it wouldn't be nearly big enough, so now she turned to an event coordinator she knew name Hestia. She wrote to Hestia about her problem and asked if Hestia would be able to help her plan something on the order of the Quidditch world cup. Not even the massive funeral Dumbledore had had at Hogwarts would be able to compare with what they'd need for Severus.
Lucius had another meeting with Mr. Shafiq, his lawyer, and the Aurors Monday morning. It went well and the Aurors informed him that he probably wouldn't get sent back to Azkaban and that they were having trouble coming up with charges. And because of his relationship with Harry and the fact that he'd saved the life of Scorpius and had helped Harry win the war, the Ministry was willing to overlook his passed misdeeds. They were still going to watch him and warned that if he put so much as one toe out of line, he would be before the Wizengamot faster than an elf with a mop. Still, all things considered, it was very good news and allowed Lucius to focus more on getting the Malfoy finances in order.
Since the deal with the muggles to import muggle jeans was going through, Lucius set the guesthouse of the villa up with worktables, so that the Malfoy family house elves could begin modifying the jeans as soon as they got their first shipment. The labels had to be removed and Malfoy brand labels added, to satisfy the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts department, so that the jeans were no longer muggle artifacts, but house elf-modified Malfoy artifacts.
The jeans would be soaked overnight in a standard stain preventative potion and charmed to be long lasting. Then because Draco insisted there was a trend to wear these jeans without pants underneath, the fronts of some of the jeans would get a wizard-space charm and a softening and cushioning charm, so that Peverell wizards wouldn't need to wear pants. Then there was the children's jeans, which needed an automatic resizing charm so that they would grow or shrink up to one size larger or smaller than the original size. And finally, for the witches, the jeans would have a mild wizard-space charm added to the front waistband, to hide the unsightly rolls witches were always complaining about.
Once the jeans were ready, Lucius planned on getting them into every wizarding clothing store in Britain and eventually all of Europe, and possibly the world. Malfoys didn't think small after all. Maybe the Malfoys would even buy the failing Ravensdale Family Wizarding Store, which was going out of business now that the Ravensdale family was almost completely decimated. They could use it to sell their muggle imports; especially because his Monday afternoon meeting with a vitamin manufacturer went so well.
The vitamins wouldn't even have to be modified. They just had to get them on the shelves at the apothecaries and convince the healers at St. Mungo's to recommend them for their pregnant and breast feeding patients. And since people were either stupid or lazy, he was having the elves make stickers to slap on the bottles that read, "Recommend for Witches to Maintain Health During Pregnancy and Breast Feeding." Once they were on the shelves, Draco would reveal to the press that he was using these vitamin products; that with a few well-placed wireless advertisements and the vitamins would fly off the shelf during the post-war baby boom.
The third muggle product Lucius wanted to import was also something for the post-war baby boom. His grandsons really did love those muggle soothers and with the homing charm Draco had added, they were a wonderful sucking toy for newborns and even older babies still loved them. But importing soothers would have to wait until the first two muggle products got off of the ground. It could wait another nine months, because it'd be that long until the baby boom would start producing the actual babies.
Draco and Harry spent most of Monday watching the babies. Draco took an hour out in the morning to respond to an owl from the Prophet asking for another interview. He didn't really want to go into Prophet Headquarters for it, so he agreed to answer several questions via owl.
While Draco was writing, Teddy was pooping, so Harry went upstairs with Teddy for a nappy change. He pulled off the nappy and the black and yellow nub that had been attached to Teddy's belly button fell off. It looked red and sore underneath and he worried that maybe it wasn't ready yet and had fallen off too soon. "Draco!" Harry called, placing the nub on the side of the changing table and beginning to wipe the poo off of Teddy's bum. He'd gotten rather good at this, since Draco made him change all of the poopy nappies when he was home. He held Teddy's little legs up and thoroughly wiped the little bottom clean.
"Harry, what happened?" Draco called, running into the room, having left Sev and Scorp downstairs in their jumpers.
"Teddy's belly button thing fell off. It looks all red and raw, what should we do?" Harry asked, still wiping.
Draco looked over Harry's shoulder at Teddy's belly button. "It looks fine. He's a month old now, so it's time for it to fall off anyways."
"Are you sure? It looks awfully red."
"I'm sure; Sev and Scorp's looked the same, but if you're really concerned, we can put some petroleum jelly on it," Draco said opening up a drawer in the changing table and getting out the petroleum jelly and a Q-tip to apply it with.
"Yeah, that'd be great." Harry was finally done with the wiping part and putting a new nappy on Teddy's bum. He took the Q-tip and petroleum jelly from Draco, spreading just a bit over the red belly button. He pulled Teddy's onesie back down and began to fasten the snaps on it. "You know, Teddy's really grown a lot since we got him." When the last snap was done, he pulled down the nightgown and picked Teddy back up.
"Yeah, he has. If you give me the nub I'll put it in his baby book," Draco replied.
"Oh yeah, here," Harry said, handing the thing over to Draco, who put it in a tiny box on a wall-shelf. "Are you making a baby book for him?"
"I haven't gotten one yet, but I'm saving the things to put in it, like his belly button, and I've been writing down his milestones… well milestone at the moment, because all I have so far is when he learned to hold his head up last week." As he talked, they went downstairs with Teddy, since the twins were still down in the drawing room in their jumpers.
"I didn't know he could hold his head up. Does that mean I can stop supporting his head every time I hold him?" Harry asked, sitting down on the sofa with Teddy.
"No, it's best to keep holding it, because his head is still pretty heavy for his little body. But if you mess up and forget to hold it for a second, he'll be fine."
They spent the rest of the morning together in the drawing room and then went into the dining room for lunch. After lunch they went upstairs to the nursery to play on the floor with Sev and Scorp and some stuffed toys and rattles. They laid Teddy on his stomach and let him practice lifting his head up to look at everyone as they played. Then it was naptime and Teddy fell asleep too, so Draco and Harry went into their bedroom and climbed into bed together.
Draco wasn't that tired for once and while he was lying there, it occurred to him that it'd been a week since he and Harry had last had sex, so he called Mipsy and asked her if Harry was pregnant. When Mipsy answered in the negative, he went downstairs and asked his mother to watch the boys, while they went to Grimmauld Place. His mother agreed and so he and Harry were free for a quick afternoon shag.
