Chapter 18

Harry walked around the living room of Severus' rooms, rubbing the back of his son. The little boy was whimpering, even though he was changed and fed. He was being fussy and Harry was feeling quite tired. Something that the three mates noticed was that Conner was the more vocal of the two. Aislin seemed to enjoy watching everything around her, while Conner wanted people to pay attention to him and only him. Severus walked into the room, rubbing his black eyes. It was five in the morning and it was usually an hour before any of them had to be up for classes. He wasn't looking forward to that. Harry was a total basket case when it came to leaving his children. "Conner again?" Severus asked. Harry stopped and looked at him.

"He is fussing, but I can't leave him to cry, I don't like it. It hurts me," Harry said, his voice was tired. He had spent nearly every night since the twins were born, holding Conner in his arms, trying to soothe the frantic crying the little lungs gave out. Conner always wanted attention, even in the middle of the night. Harry was lucky if he was able to get an hour of sleep before Conner started to cry after being put to bed. "Every cry feels like a dagger, trying to slice through my heart Severus," he added, a lone tear falling from his eyes.

Severus walked over and kissed Harry on the forehead. "It's alright my Fae. You're young and these are your children. It will get better, I promise." He took the little boy from Harry and ran his hands through the black locks on Harry's head. "Get some rest. I'm awake now; you get another hour of sleep while I look after Conner." Harry looked wary, but the look in Severus' eyes told him to do so. Nodding, Harry walked off while Severus rubbed the little boy's back. He was asleep now, which was a good thing. Severus knew that the little boy would wake up the moment he was put down, so Severus sat on the couch, still rubbing his back in a soothing manner. He knew that as soon as Harry got into bed Draco would get up. He had that tendency to be up early and that meant that he would anyways.

Draco woke up as he felt Harry climb into the bed; he could tell the young Fae was exhausted from being up with Conner all night again. He turned over and pulled Harry into his arms. He knew that holding the young man would help him get to sleep quicker. Not even a minute had passed when he felt Harry's even breathing, telling him he was asleep. He placed a gently kiss on Harry's lightning bolt scar and got up out of the bed, careful not to disturbed the young 'mother'. He pulled on a dressing gown and went into the nursery where he suspected Severus was now soothing Conner and his cries.

Severus had stood up after a moment in the living room and moved to the nursery. He didn't want to have to walk all the way when he could finally put Conner down. He was currently sitting in the rocking chair they had put in there for Harry, comforting Conner. He looked a little worn out and had been so busy trying to keep the little boy calm that he didn't notice that Aislin was awake. She was still the quite girl, but she was watching her father rock her brother. She didn't complain, and that was discovered to be quite the relief for the threesome. So far nobody in the school outside of the three, Ron, Dumbledore and Poppy knew of the children's existence. This was something they were all grateful for. It was something they had agreed on, the longer they kept it a secret, the better. They didn't want the children shoved into the spot light because they were the children of Harry Potter, which they all knew would happen at some point.

"Good morning Severus," Draco said quietly so he would not disturb the little boy sleeping in his father's arms. He went over to Aislin and saw that she was awake. He smiled at the beautiful little girl and picked her up. "Good morning to you little angel, and how are you?" He cooed gently as she lay silent in his arms. Her dark blue eyes spoke of intelligence. Draco thought the little girl would have Severus' eyes while Conner would have Harry's as the little boy's eyes were bright.

Aislin just reached up and touched Draco's cheek. Severus sighed. "I'm worried about Harry. This is taking a bit of a toll on him. Talking to some of the other teachers, they've noticed that in the past two weeks his grades dropping. They don't know the reason why, but they've noticed the drop. He's even almost caused a couple potions explosions." He looked at little Conner. He rubbed the boy's back. There was nothing that was affecting him. He seemed oblivious to how his parents were feeling. "Why is he the one that wants all the attention?" He just kept his eyes on the little boy, watching him sleep. He knew the boy would wake up soon to eat, luckily enough he usually only did that when it was time to feed him and they were all up. Well, except for his parents. Severus had noticed that the two children had already taken an enjoyment to drinking blood, which worried him a bit. It told him that their vampire nature was stronger than it should have been.

"I wish we could try and get him special permission on taking the rest of the year off. I know that he may not take it, but it would be easier on him and give him time to rest instead of doing all the work and the catch up work, as well as going to classes. He is working himself into exhaustion, I'm worried about him," Draco said. Severus could hear the pain and worry in the young Veela's voice as he spoke. "Do you think we could talk to the headmaster about it before talking to Harry? He may like the thought of staying with the children." His smooth voice taking on a note of desperation as he added his last thought to his mate.

Severus shrugged. "It would likely be a good idea. But even then, Harry wouldn't take it." He returned his gaze onto Conner and started rocking the chair. The little boy was beginning to stir, but he wasn't making any other noise. That was nice, as they were use to him stirring and then screaming at the top of his lungs. He rubbed Conner's back some more, smiling slightly. "In some sense, this was a little bit ill timed, but in another I wouldn't change it, and I don't think Harry would either. Though I would change that Granger wasn't there at all." He kissed Conner on the forehead, earning a little sleepy giggle from the boy.

"I wouldn't change it either, if he hadn't become pregnant I wouldn't be with you both, I would still be trying to ignore the bond between us all. Though I would get rid of Granger before she started to cause trouble for Harry," he said agreeing with the older man. Aislin gurgled as she tried to grab Draco's hair as she rested comfortably against his shoulder. "No Aislin don't do that sweetheart," he said as he gently pried the few strands she had caught out of her tight grip.

Severus sighed a little bit and stood up. "We'll figure something out." He heard a knock on his door and walked out of the nursery, adjusting Conner in his arms. Draco followed him, having also heard the knocking. Once they reached the door, Severus opened it and was greeted with the sight of one Albus Dumbledore. Severus blinked, but stepped aside. "Albus, I hadn't expected to see you this early in the morning." Albus nodded to Severus and walked into the room, looking at the two men holding the little infants in their arms.

"I felt as though I should welcome the new additions," he said cryptically, as always. "Hello little one," he said as he cooed at Conner, who just looked up the old man and blinked, as though to say 'who are you? You old coot.' "You have your father's intelligence I see young one." He smiled as he the stood straight and looked over at Draco who was holding Aislin, looking a little shocked at what the headmaster had done. He didn't think anyone was that comfortable in Severus' presence to coo at a child he held.

Conner held onto Severus and that was all. "I know there's more to this than just saying hello to Conner and Aislin." He was never fooled by Dumbledore's innocence, but that's because he had some idea of what was going on in the man's head almost all the time. Draco walked up to Severus and watched the old man, frowning a bit. Aislin reached out for Dumbledore's beard, being stopped by Draco. Severus looked at the old man once again and shook his head. "There's something to all of this, now what is it? Harry will probably be awake soon and he'll need to eat." He shifted Conner once again, making sure he supported the boy's neck well.

"My dear boy, you will never stop being suspicious of me will you." He smiled amenably. "And as usual you are right, I have heard from the other teachers that Harry's grades are falling. They are worried about him. I have come to see if there is anything I can do that will help the situation, like giving him some time off from school to get used to things," He said. The last sentence sounded much like what Draco had suggested to earlier.

Severus nodded. "Draco and I had been talking about that a little bit before you showed up. We're not sure if Harry would react well to the idea. He wouldn't want to give anything up because of this. We think he needs a break. Conner is very fussy and doesn't sleep well at night." He looked at the little boy who began to shift in restlessness. He was whimpering a bit and Severus began to rub his back, to quickly fend of the crying attack that was bound to take over if he left Conner alone. He wanted to give Harry a couple more minutes of sleep. Aislin had her eyes fixed onto Dumbledore, not removing them for anything.

Albus Dumbledore looked over at the young man who held a small little boy in his arms. He smiled and sent out his heightened senses towards the small child, trying to find out what was wrong. He then frowned as he finally found out what was wrong. "Oh dear," he said softly, the only one able to here him was Severus and he looked up from what he was doing.

Severus raised an eyebrow at him. "What's making you say oh dear?" He didn't like that look on Dumbledore's face. That meant that there was something wrong. He held Conner close to him. The little boy grabbed onto Severus, feeling that he wanted to keep Conner close. The little boy whimpered again. He didn't like what he was feeling at all. It was normal for children to feel what their parents felt, but that was it. Draco also paid attention to Dumbledore. He knew that something was off with what Severus had said earlier. He shifted Aislin in his arms and made sure that she was being held securely.

He walked over to the man and smiled slightly. "He is an empath, I know children are able to sense their parents for the first year, but his scope goes well beyond that. He can sense nearly the whole school. You will need to put up a ward to protect his mind from the other students. You can also put a block up in his mind to block them out, but it will not last that long. When he is older he will be able to train to do that himself, but he is vulnerable now. That may be why he is so fussy," Albus told them as he went over to Severus and placed a soothing hand on the child's back.

Conner shifted and calmed down. Severus looked at Conner with some astonishment. He couldn't believe that his son was an Empath, which was a rare gift among Fae, wizards and vampires. He realized that he shouldn't have been that surprised though. Right then the three of them heard the door to Severus' bedroom open. Harry was dressed and walking out of the room, yawning. He looked at them with a curious look. He hadn't expected to see Dumbledore there. He noticed that his kids were taken with Dumbledore. Aislin was watching him, more specifically the movement of his beard. The other was the fact that Conner was actually taking to someone that wasn't Draco, Harry or Severus. He just walked up to them, still looking a little tired.

"Why don't you take today off Harry and get some sleep? I am sure that I will be allowed to stay with you as well," Draco said, smiling at his mate. "The headmaster has found out why Conner was being so fussy all the time," he added, smiling slightly, he still could not really grasp that the little boy was an empath.

Harry sighed and took Aislin from Draco. "I am tired, but I have a test today in McGonagall's class." He was rubbing her head ever so slightly and giving her a kiss. He then looked at Conner and also gave him a kiss. "I can't let my life go completely on hold because I haven't gotten enough sleep." Draco shook his head and wrapped his arms around Harry's waist. He kissed Harry on the cheek. He wasn't able to understand how Harry could let himself be such a push over. The boy he had fought with for years would never have been that much of a pushover. He seriously wanted to know what the reason for his attitude was.

"Oh Harry love, you are pushing yourself too hard. I love you and you are worrying me. You need to rest; I am so afraid that something will happen to you," Draco said softly as he leaned his head onto Harry's shoulder. He could see little Aislin in Harry's arms reach up a hand to try and grab something, she had a nasty little habits of grabbing hold of anything from hair to a bit of cloth that got near her.

Harry shifted and let Aislin grab his finger. He sighed. Dumbledore shook his head and whispered something to Severus. Severus looked at Harry and sighed. "Harry, you can take a vacation for a bit. You need to rest. It won't affect you if you let yourself get a little rest." Harry looked up at Severus and then down at Aislin. He knew he was smaller than the both of them, but there were times that he felt like he was causing trouble, this was one of them. This feeling made Conner whimper. Severus rubbed Conner's back, taking his mind off the feelings he got from Harry. "Trust me, you need it. Once you get some rest, you can go back to your classes and catch up on anything you missed. This means that you can work in your own time as you're taking a break." Draco nodded in agreement. Harry didn't see it so much as felt it, seeing as how Draco's hair moved next to his face.

"I don't want to cause anyone any trouble; it will be a hassle for the teacher to help me catch up to everyone if I take a break from things. I know I will fall behind and I don't want to do that. I know I need the rest Severus, Draco, but I… I just don't what to be a burden to you, or anyone," he said to them as he rubbed the little hand that had grabbed onto his finger moments before.

Severus shook his head and made Harry look at him. "You won't be a hassle. You getting better is more important than anything else. You can't continue on this path Harry. You need to rest, otherwise you'll wear yourself into exhaustion and that will end up hurting you more, and it will ultimately hurt our children." That got Harry. His eyes widened at that thought. He looked down at Aislin and Conner. He didn't want to hurt them; he knew that was the last thing that he wanted. He took a breath and nodded. That was his way of giving in. He wouldn't let them get hurt; it wasn't something that he wanted to happen.

"I will inform all of your Professors that you will be taking some time off to adjust to living with your children, as well as resting after a most trying few weeks," Dumbledore said, making the other three in the room to be startled slightly, they had forgotten that he was in the room with them and watching them interact. He smiled at them all, they made a wonderful triad and he could see that the three of them were happy together.

Later in the Morning

Ron had been taking care of a few things that morning; one of them was currently sitting in front of him, enjoying a nice quiet breakfast. That person was one Lucius Malfoy. He hadn't had the time to inform the man of the birth of Harry's twins, but he now did and was making sure that he knew. There was always something going on in Ron's life that made it difficult. He was finally glad to be able to say something to the man. "Well, Harry had his twins a couple of weeks ago." He was looking down at his breakfast. He hadn't looked at Lucius once during the whole thing. This was the first time he had said a single word in fact.

Lucius looked up from what he was eating and looked at the young man in front of him. "He has had the children and you are only just telling me? May I ask why I was only now informed and not earlier?" He asked him as he put down his knife and fork. "I would have liked to congratulate them when it happened and not weeks later, it is common courtesy to congratulate new parents a day or two after the birth," He added seriously. He could see Ron squirming in his seat; he lifted an eyebrow at it but ignored it for now.

Ron sighed and set his own utensils down. He didn't know if he could eat anymore. There was something that bothered him. He could feel a slight attraction to Lucius, but he thought he was losing it. Ron sighed ever so slightly and looked up into Lucius' silver eyes. He wasn't sure if he could completely stop squirming. "Because we've all been quite busy and now is the first time I've had any free time to say anything. As for Draco, Harry and Severus, they're having problems with Conner that have caused a slight bit of trouble for them. We don't know why. So they have been trying to deal with that." He looked down at his hands once again and his food. He pushed it away a bit, deciding that he wasn't hungry at all.

Lucius became worried quickly as he looked into Ron's blue eyes. "Problems? What's wrong? Is everything going to be alright?" The worry that was in his voice shocked Ron a little; he did not think the patriarch of the Malfoy family could show so much emotion at once. "Well instead of gaping at me tell me what is wrong with the child." Lucius demanded.

Ron shook his head. "I don't know, and last I checked, they didn't either. Conner's just really fussy and wanting attention all the time. He's been keeping Harry up practically all night and…Well…He's ultimately causing Harry's performance in classes to slip." He sighed and just played with his fingers. He didn't know what was wrong, and that was the truth. If Lucius wanted to know, he would have to go to the source and see if he could find out from them. Ron doubted that they knew anything either, yet he didn't know the most recent updates.

"Do you think they would mind if we went down to say hello to them?" He asked the young red head. "I would like to congratulate my friend and his mate on their children, as well as Draco, he is a father to them as well." Lucius smiled slightly at the thought. He had always wanted more children but Narcissa had neither the inclination nor ability to carry more as carrying Draco had nearly killed her.

Ron shrugged, he honestly didn't know. "I guess they might. No clue thought." He then sighed once again and started tracing designs into the table. He was increasingly nervous, and didn't have a clue why. He wasn't hungry, though he had like half the food left on his plate. None of his friends had ever seen him eat so little in the entire time they had known him. He was the one that would put the food away in a matter of moments.

Lucius watched as the young man started to trace the faint patterns on the tabletop and smirked. He knew that the red head didn't know why he was so nervous in his presence, but Lucius could take a pretty good guess that Ron Weasley actually liked him. "Ron, why don't we find out and send an owl to them, it would be better that way, then they would to feel like they have to let us in," he said his voice was smooth and held a hint of danger within. It sent a shiver up Ron's spine.

Ron only nodded in response. Lucius smiled and took a piece of parchment and conjured a quill and ink. He started to write out a message, letting Ron collect himself. Ron's mind was everywhere. He had no idea what was going on in his head. Something was seriously wrong, but he didn't understand it. He knew that there was something about Lucius that made him nervous, but he didn't know exactly what it was. Of course, he wouldn't be able to say much anyways, as the man was quite busy composing a letter.

Not even five minutes had passed when Lucius finished off his letter with a flourish of the quill, signing his name. "Ron, do you have an owl we could use to send them word of our wish to visit?" He asked the young man as he sealed the letter. Ron shuddered again as he got up and took the letter from the older man and tied it to Pig, who had followed Ron around the last few days, was sat on the back of a chair for once being quiet. Quickly telling the owl who to go to, it was soon flying off and out of the room.

Lucius looked at Ron and shook his head. "Now we wait for their reply. I said that they could choose the time that is best for them." Ron nodded and sat down. He still couldn't figure out what it was about Lucius that made him as nervous as it did. He sighed and shook his head. The two sat in relative silence, nothing much being said. It was known that in about two hours, it would be time for Ron to return to the school. He may not have had classes that morning, but he certainly had them that afternoon. He stared down at the floor, not particularly wishing to have to leave. Lucius checked his fingers out for a moment, before pulling his gloves back on. He wasn't eating any longer, so there was no reason for him to leave his gloves off.

"The children are beautiful. The little girl they called Aislin, she has auburn hair like Harry's mother had. But Conner takes after his father and has black hair, though it's not all over the place like Harry's, it's more like Severus'," Ron said, smiling as he remember the first time he saw the new additions. He looked over at Lucius and smiled. He was sure that the man would just adore the twins, but first he had to meet them.

Well, I am so sorry that I have taken so long in updating this fic, a few days ago I got an email about it asking if this was abandoned and would never be finished. The reason for the long wait was that Tiger no longer had the time to edit this, and I was trying to find a beta for it, each one I found ran in the other direction pretty soon after getting this. So any mistakes that are left I apologies for, I've gone through it, but I can't spot mistakes that easily.

Please read and review, tell me what you all think. I shall be trying to update at least once a week on this fic.
