Author's note: This is pretty much all just fluff and sex.
Saturday afternoon Harry and Narcissa prepared for the trip. Harry had a backpack with a wizard space charm on it and he packed enough clothes to last him and Draco for a week in Hawaii. He packed Draco's shrunken anniversary gifts too, along with the confirmation numbers for the trip. The only problem was that they didn't have enough shorts or own beach sandals, which meant they would have to pick some up.
Once Harry was done packing, he went over to the nursery where Narcissa was packing a nappy bag with a wizard space charm on it. The boys were napping in their cribs, but with the muffling charms in place, the babies weren't disturbed.
"Do you need any help?" Harry asked.
"No, I think I've got this. They don't have any swim trunks, but we'll buy those when we get there. I have everything else three babies could need for a week; I just have to fit it all in this bag. Why don't you talk to Mipsy and make sure she knows we need her to go with us. Have her pack a bag of breast feeding supplies as well," Narcissa replied.
"What supplies? Doesn't he just need the pump?"
"No, he also needs the storage bottles to connect onto the pump; make sure you pack the pair with the wizard space charm on them. Oh and get a vat with a wizard space and stasis charms on it to store the milk; a small vat. Then he needs nipples and nipple rings to attach to the bottles, so that the babies can drink out of them."
"Alright," Harry said, before going downstairs. Anyone else would call the elf to him, but he was disturbed with the fact that he'd been living here for weeks and hadn't ever seen where the elves lived or even the kitchen. He'd told himself that the next time the opportunity came up, he was going to visit the elves in their natural habitat, the kitchen.
Harry walked through the drawing room, which they hadn't used since moving back to the Manor, to reach the kitchen. Even though it was a central connecting room, there was an unspoken rule in the house to stay out of the drawing room, because it was the room most used by Voldemort and the Death Eaters. The only rooms they used on the first floor were the dining room and the library. The drawing room was relegated to a passageway that connected the first floor landing to the wing with the dining room and kitchen.
The kitchen was filled with elves actively making dinner. Harry looked around dumbstruck as he tried to pick Mipsy out of the crowd.
"Master Harry Malfoy, sir! How may Tea Cup be assisting Master Harry Malfoy, sir, today, sir?" Tea Cup asked.
"Have you seen Mipsy? I need to talk to her."
"Mipsy is in the elf room, sir," Tea Cup said pointing Harry to one of the doors on the far side of the kitchen. One of those doors led to the potion room, another to a store room, the two on either side of the room led outside, and the remaining door was the elves' quarters, where all of the elves in the house lived.
It was to the middle most door Tea Cup was pointing now, so that was the door Harry opened. The room was dark compared to the kitchen and it took his eyes a minute to adjust, before he made out the sight of many elf eyes staring back at him. It looked like a store room, because it was long and narrow. On the floor on either side of the room were rows of large wooden crates stacked three high with little doorways cut into the boxes. Several of the boxes had little child elf heads sticking out of them, looking at him, while others were empty and showed only fresh straw within the crate. There were also crates stacked three high along the back wall, making for at least twenty-seven crates in the room, which was more than he had expected to see. Only about a dozen house elves had appeared when he was trapped in the cellar last Easter and he had assumed that every elf at the Manor had come to him. Now he realized that there must be more than two dozen elves living in this room.
"Mipsy?" Harry called.
A little elf head disappeared back into its crate and Mipsy's head appeared in its place. She climbed down from her crate in the uppermost row and came to stand in front of Harry. "Yes Master Harry Malfoy, sir?" Mipsy asked.
"Is that your baby, Mipsy?" Harry asked, pointing to the little head that was once again sticking out of the crate she'd come from.
"Yes Master Harry Malfoy sir, Krispy is Mipsy's son, sir. But Krispy is not a baby anymore, sir. Krispy is almost old enough to be learning to serve our family, sir," Mipsy replied.
"Oh, um, well I was gonna ask you to come with us on vacation, but I didn't know you had a kid. Maybe I should ask some other elf." This was the sort of thing one couldn't know if one never checked in on their elves. He was glad he'd come and found out, before he took a mother away from her child.
"Master Harry Malfoy should be asking Mipsy, sir. Pickles will take care of Krispy, while Mipsy is serving our family, sir."
"Who's Pickles?"
"Pickles is Mipsy's husband and Krispy's father, sir. Pickles works on the farm, sir."
"What farm?"
"The Malfoy farm, sir, is on the other side of the forest, sir. All of the Manor's food comes from either the farm or the vineyard and garden in France, sir. The Malfoy farm also produces many potions ingredients, sir."
At first Harry wasn't convinced that it was okay for Mipsy to leave her son, but she was quite insistent that Krispy was fine. Krispy was the equivalent of a pre-teen, which meant he was more than old enough to stay with his father for a week. And what's more was that Mipsy's sister Nippy, who had a baby elf and couldn't leave the elf closet, was in the box right next to Mipsy's box; Nippy would look in on Krispy and Pickles. Satisfied with the arrangement, Harry repeated Narcissa's request and Mipsy said she'd pack the supplies right away. He was about to thank her, but then stopped himself just in time, knowing that the elves would be very angry if he did so in front of their children.
Harry went back to the nursery and discovered that Teddy was awake. Narcissa had the baby swaying in her arms, but he was still fussing.
"The nappy bag is in the closet, ready to go," Narcissa said, handing Teddy over to Harry.
"Great. Our bag is in our closet, also ready to go and Mipsy is packing the nursing bag," Harry replied, sitting down in the rocking chair with Teddy in his lap. Teddy quieted down, changing his hair from orange to black.
"Our portkey leaves at six tomorrow night, right after dinner," Narcissa said.
"That late?" Harry asked. He had assumed they would leave in the morning so that they could settle into their hotel and have the day to go shopping and go to the beach for a bit.
"Yes, well Hawaii is ten hours behind us, so it'll be eight in the morning there. I suggest we all take a nap before we go. I've instructed the elves to add a simple sleeping draught to our lunch, so that we sleep through the afternoon; Andy will keep an eye on the babies while we sleep."
Harry agreed and Narcissa excused herself to go pack her and Lucius' things.
Harry spent the rest of the day taking care of the babies and spending time with Draco. Sunday morning he woke up to breakfast in bed. Draco was there with him, with a baby on each nipple. Sev was sitting in the middle of the bed, between him and Draco, drinking from a bottle Draco was holding.
"Here, let me get that," Harry said, taking Sev's bottle from Draco with his right hand and popping a slice of fruit into his mouth with the other. He'd never had breakfast in bed and was touched that Draco had done something like this for him.
They finished feeding the babies and then ate themselves, before getting dressed for the day. "Harry, have you seen my new dress robes? I wanted to wear them tonight for our dinner at Grimmauld Place," Draco said.
"No I haven't," Harry lied pulling on his robes so that he could go back to playing with the babies and not give his secret away. Draco thought that they were having dinner and a shag at Grimmauld Place for their anniversary and didn't know the robes had been packed.
"Mipsy!" Draco called and waited a moment for Mipsy to materialize. "Where are my new dress robes?"
"Mipsy hung Master Draco Malfoy, sir's dress robes in the closet, sir," Mipsy replied.
"Well they aren't here," Draco replied.
"Mipsy will ask the other house elves and check the laundry, Master, sir."
Draco dismissed the elf and went about his day, changing nappies and dressing the babies in summer suits to take outside to play. Andy came over and sat with them in the garden. There was a patch of grass in the middle of all of the flowers and they spread out a blanket to sit on. Andy held Teddy, while Harry held Draco in his lap and Scorp sat up by himself, playing with a toy. Sev kept crawling away off of the blanket, to get to the grass. Draco got up and pulled Sev back onto the blanket the first few times, but then he got distracted by a kiss from Harry. Sev made it all the way onto the grass, where he pulled out a few blades of, which he stuck into his mouth.
"Sev, no," Andy said, getting up to take the grass away from the baby. She put Sev back in the middle of the blanket.
"What did he do?" Draco wondered, breaking away from Harry's kiss.
"Tried to eat the grass," Andy explained.
"Ew, he definitely takes after you, Harry," Draco replied.
"I don't remember ever eating grass," Harry said. Sure he had been starved plenty and there were times he was so hungry he felt like he could eat grass, but he'd always been trapped in his cupboard or in Dudley's second bedroom during those times.
"And I'm sure Sev won't remember it either. But you have to admit that the one who takes after me isn't eating the grass and the one that takes after you is."
"Scorp can't reach the grass, so that's not a fair assessment," Harry retorted, looking at Scorp as the baby pressed a button on his toy. It made the toy display a unicorn prancing about in midair.
"I bet you that even if we put Scorp on the grass he won't eat it."
"You're on," Harry said.
Draco picked Scorp up, moving the baby to sit on the grass at the edge of the blanket. "This is grass Scorp, what do you want to do with it?" Draco asked, taking one of Scorp's little hands and moving it to touch the blades of grass.
"Fa fa da," Scorp said, as he pulled at the grass. He came away with a fistful of it, which he brought to his face to look at. Then he flung it away, saying, "Ahhh ba da a blah." He reached for his unicorn toy, which had been left behind on the blanket.
Draco put Scorp back next to the toy and returned himself to Harry's lap. "So what did I win, Malfoy?" Draco asked.
"A kiss from your husband. It's hard to believe that it's been a year already," Harry replied, leaning in to kiss Draco.
They stayed outside on the grass for a few hours, before going back inside. It was almost lunch time, so Harry and Draco went to the dining room to feed Sev and Scorp, while Andy took Teddy up to the nursery.
When Mipsy delivered the bowls of mashed peas, Draco asked, "Mipsy! Have you found my robes?"
Keeping Draco in the dark about the quickly approaching trip was becoming more and more daunting of a task. Harry didn't want to tell Draco he'd packed the robes, but he also didn't want Draco to freak out about the robes or punish Mipsy for losing them. He didn't know what he should do.
Narcissa joined them in the dining room just then and having overheard Draco's question said, "Draco, I've sent the robes out to be cleaned. There was a stain on them, but they should be back after dinner."
"A stain our elves couldn't get out?" Draco asked curiously.
"Yes, but don't worry. The cleaning witch assured me that she could get it out," Narcissa replied.
"Alright mother, as long as I get it back in time for our dinner tonight."
Then Draco and Harry got to work feeding Sev and Scorp. After that they had lunch with Andy and Lucius joining them. By the end of lunch, Lucius, Narcissa, and Harry were all yawning and Draco was passed out in his chair. Mipsy transported Draco to his bed and the rest of them went to sleep, while Andy watched the boys.
"Harry! Harry, wake up!" Draco exclaimed urgently.
"Hmm?" Harry asked groggily.
"Wake up, we over slept. Why didn't we hear Sev and Scorp wake up?"
"Relax, Andy's watching them."
"It's already five and we're still in bed. We were supposed to be up at four and be at Grimmauld Place by five thirty. We're missing our anniversary."
"Relax, we're not going to Grimmauld Place and we're not leaving for our anniversary thing until six."
"What? We're not going to Grimmauld Place? Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise."
"Alright, well then I'll just go find my mother and see if my dress robes are back."
"She didn't send them out to the cleaners; I already packed them. What you're wearing is fine."
"I wanted to wear my new dress robes."
"You can wear them later."
"Where are we going?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Somewhere I can bugger you in private."
"Your mum booked our rooms on opposite sides of the hotel; is that private enough for you?"
"Rooms? You're taking my parents with us on our anniversary?" Draco asked skeptically.
"Yes; someone has to watch the children and we're going for a week."
"We're going for a week and you're just telling me this now? I have to pack!"
"I already packed; bag's in the closet."
Draco went to the closet and pulled out the backpack, checking to make sure there were enough clothes, which there were, mostly. "Won't we need way more dress robes? There are only two sets in here."
"No, we're going someplace too hot for dress robes."
"Alright then." Draco grabbed Harry's anniversary presents and added them to the bag. "What about the babies?"
"Your mum packed for them. And Mipsy packed nursing supplies."
"Alright, well if we're really ready to go, then I'll just check on the boys."
"You should eat something before we go; we won't be eating for a while," Harry said.
Draco went to the nursery and picked up Scorp from Andy, before going down to the dining room. He ate dinner alone while nursing Scorp and then he went back upstairs, wondering what was going on. He thought about ordering an elf to tell him where they were going, but he would find out very soon. If Harry had gone through all this trouble to keep it a surprise, he decided not to spoil it and instead changed a few nappies and cleaned a few faces.
As the minutes ticked closer to six, the Malfoy family went outside to the garden to wait for the portkey to be activated. Narcissa put Teddy in the infant carrier on her chest, while Harry carried Sev and Draco carried Scorp. Scorp disliked magical travel, so he'd already been given his favorite unicorn blanket to hold onto for the journey, even though it was way too hot for the Hawaiian weather. Lucius had all four of their bags and Mipsy just had herself.
They each reached out and grabbed onto an old tea kettle. Scorp was screaming at the top of his lungs and they felt like they were being pulled through space by a hook in their guts. Sev and Teddy were crying too and then they came back down onto a jagged black lava rock surface.
"Hawaii?" Draco asked over Scorp's screams, recognizing the island.
The ground was soft and had a lot of give to it when they landed, indicating that there was a cushioning charm on the rock. Sev and Teddy stopped crying as soon as they landed, but Scorp continued to wail.
"Yes." Lucius pulled a soother and a camera out of the bags he was carrying. He handed Scorp the soother and took a snapshot of the family's arrival on the island. "I'm going to apparate to the car rental agency and be back to pick you up by the time you make it to the road," Lucius said, before apparating away.
"Mipsy, meet us at the hotel. You can stay with the hotel's house elves until we call you," Narcissa said to the elf. Providing free lodging to house elves was one of the many benefits of staying at a wizarding resort.
Harry, Draco, and Narcissa began their hike and Scorp's screams died down. The baby was somewhat comforted by the unicorn blanket and the soother, but he was still letting his displeasure be heard with a soft whimper. They weren't far from a trail, but it was a fifteen minute hike until they were at the road. There was no good place to sit and rest and Lucius had yet to return, so they walked on until they reached the gas station at the corner.
A minivan with Lucius behind the wheel arrived right when they were finally sitting down. Harry thought there was something odd about seeing the wizard behind the wheel and he hoped that Lucius was a good driver.
"I already installed the carseats," Lucius said, getting out of the car to help. "Sev's in the back with Harry."
Harry climbed over the folded middle seat, wondering how the seat could possibly fold with the carseats in place. Sev's carseat was easy enough to figure out. It was of a larger size than they had practiced with in the room of requirement, but it was rear facing and had straps that responded to the same spell that all of the baby things used. Sev was strapped in and ready to go by the time Lucius had the middle seat up.
The two infant carseats were in fact in the trunk with their bags, but Lucius had installed the carseat bases, so it only took a minute to get them out of the trunk and snap them into place. Draco crawled in carrying Scorp and fastened the baby into a carseat, tucking the too hot unicorn blanket in next to Scorp. He cast a cooling charm on it so that Scorp didn't get too hot. Narcissa fastened Teddy into the carseat closest to the door. Then Lucius and Narcissa climbed in and they were off to the store. They got out the twin stroller and transferred Teddy and Scorp's carseats onto it. They had to take Sev all of the way out of his carseat, so Harry carried him. Lucius had the camera again and snapped a few photos.
The store was a small wizarding clothing shop that didn't appear between two muggle shops until Lucius tapped the wall with his wand in the right place. They went inside and purchased two sets of swim trunks with matching swim shirts for each of the three babies, several pairs of shorts for Harry, a new dress for Narcissa, and a pair of sandals for everyone in the family, except for the two youngest babies. Then they piled back into the van and made the hour trip up to the north side of the island.
Sev and Teddy fell asleep almost immediately, but Scorp stayed awake and started whining after fifteen minutes.
"Harry, can you reach the nappy bag? I need a toy to entertain Scorp," Draco said.
"Are you sure he's not hungry? Did you feed him?" Harry asked, but was already trying to reach behind him to get the nappy bag from the trunk.
"Yeah, I nursed him right before we left. Andy said she fed the other two bottles," Draco replied.
Harry couldn't get the nappy bag up without getting out and pulling the stroller off of it, but he was able to reach in and pull a shrunken toy out. He unshrunk the toy and passed it up to Draco, who gave it to Scorp. Scorp stopped whining when the lights and music started.
"Thanks. Can you see if you can find a soother too? I don't know what happened to the one Father gave him, but I think he's still agitated from the portkey," Draco said.
Harry reached back into the nappy bag, but couldn't differentiate the soothers from the other objects in the bag, so he cast a summoning charm and waited for the soothers to soar into his hand. Nine soothers came, including one that wiggled its way out from under Scorp and the unicorn blanket in the infant carseat. He picked out a green one and handed it to Draco, before putting the rest back in the nappy bag.
By the time they reached the hotel, Scorp had settled back into his normal happy self and Teddy needed a nappy change. Narcissa went to check them in, while Harry and Draco put Scorp and Teddy in the stroller. They put Harry and Draco's backpack and the nappy bag in the basket of the stroller. Lucius went to park the car, while and Harry and Draco went into the resort. They changed Teddy in a bathroom in the lobby of the hotel and then went out to find Narcissa, who had finished checking them in.
They went to Narcissa and Lucius' room, where they changed into their swim clothes. Then they called Mipsy and let the elf know they'd be at the beach. They spent the morning down by the beach in front of the resort, casting sun screen charms liberally with Lucius snapping a few more photos. By lunch time, everyone was tired and Teddy was asleep. Lucius and Narcissa took the three babies back to their room, while Draco and Harry went to find their own room.
It was a white room with a large white bed in the middle of it. There was a closet and a bathroom complete with an indoor Jacuzzi. There was also a patio overlooking the beach. Mipsy had delivered their backpack and unpacked their clothes.
Harry and Draco started off with a shower to wash the sand off. Draco had never tried this before, but he wanted to do something special for Harry for their anniversary and had been mentally talking himself into this all week. He lowered himself onto his knees.
*Censored
"I wanted to give you something," Harry said, going to the dresser and retrieving the small silver gift bag with Draco's anniversary presents. "Here." He handed the bag over to Draco.
"Thanks; I got you something too," Draco said, taking the gift bag with a smile and going to the dresser, where he had left his own present for Harry. He pulled out a long rectangular parcel and a flatter, rectangular parcel, both wrapped in a pale gold paper covered with golden snitches. "These are for you." Draco handed Harry's presents over and sat on the bed to open his own. There was lotion of a brand Draco had never seen before in a strange tube that was probably muggle in design. There was also cologne in a strange apparently muggle bottle. He smelled both and they were alright, so he decided to try them. Obviously it'd be easier for Harry to buy him things in the muggle world, where Harry didn't have to worry about being mobbed by fans.
Harry opened the larger of the two presents to find a small broom, only about fifteen inches long. "Um, thanks; I guess the boys can ride this," Harry said.
"They better not; it's shrunken, not a toy," Draco replied, rubbing the lotion into his hands and then smelling them. He had had to shrink the broom to get it in the box.
"Oh, um, right," Harry said and unshrunk the broom. It was a Firebolt III.
"I know it's not your Firebolt and that yours meant a lot to you, because your godfather gave it to you, but I thought you'd like a new one."
"Yeah, this is really great. Thank you. Maybe we can go for a fly sometime; do you think your old Nimbus two thousand one can keep up?" Harry asked with a smirk.
"No, probably not. How is it you've managed to go through so many brooms, when I've only had the one?" Draco asked leaning in for a kiss.
"Bad luck, I guess," Harry replied, pulling away from the kiss. "Open your other gift."
"Alright, if you'll open yours," Draco said, pulling out the small black box from the bag. Inside he found a nice pair of cuff links. "Great, I can wear these with my dress robes when we go out for dinner."
Harry opened the flatter parcel Draco had given him and found three sets of stylish jeans like the ones he'd worn back in the room of requirement; they each had a different wash on them, but they were all the low rise jeans Draco liked. "And I can wear these when we go out," he said.
"Or when we stay in," Draco replied with a smirk. "They're the first off of the assembly line, so you don't need to wear pants underneath. Look on the back."
Harry turned the jeans over to see the Malfoy emblem on the rear pocket. "Let me put them on." Harry had never tried to wear jeans without pants before, but these were surprisingly soft and comfortable on the inside, because of the charms.
"They look good."
"Thanks. Now let's try out some of that lotion I got you," Harry said, grabbing Draco's lotion and motioning for Draco to turn over, so that he could massage Draco's back.
The massage turned to fiery kisses and sensual caresses and ended with a brilliant anniversary shag.
Author's Note: They have a week in Hawaii, so there'll be at least another chapter of fluff :)
