''Yes i picked up a few Wizarding ones for them but that's all, and yes let's go back I can start on the kids rooms then and get on the phone to sky''
Tonks and Harry nodded and with Hermione flooed to Grimmauld place ''Harry you do know that you can't have the house secret kept don't' you''
Harry nodded ''Yeah I am going to drop it anyway, i mean the kids may have friends who want to come over like the ones they have near your parents place and stuff, we can still use magic just not when we have non magical kids around but your charm will allow magic to work around electricity as well so we'll be fine''
Hermione nodded as they made their way from the living room and to the kitchen ''Hey Harry I was thinking we should have the room next to the living one, turned into a floo room''
''The training room we used?''
''Yeah it could be a floo room as well that way you don't' have to have people coming in and out of the living room and it's more easier to keep a watch on''
Harry thought about it especially with the kids ''Yeah i guess I mean more so with the kids living here and if Lyra has had a bad night and lying in the living room we don't want people to appear and scare her, yeah let's do that''
Hermione smiled ''I'll do it now and then join you guys I only got to set the fireplace up in the training room and then close the one in the living room,''
''Add a charm to it to tell us who's calling only put me, you, Severus, Remus, Tonks as were living here oh and both Albus and Minerva the others will have to wait for us to accept them, it's safer''
Hermione nodded ''What about Lucius and Draco?''
Harry nodded ''Yeah add them as well because I know Draco will be around the kids often and both Lucius and Severus are friends''
Hermione nodded ''I'll do that now''
Harry and Tonks nodded and left Hermione to do the floo and headed for the kitchen.
Hermione began connecting the floo up and adding the charm that Harry had suggested as well as the list of automatic acceptance leaving the others not on the list having to wait to be given access she also added a charm that would make a sound if it was an emergency as she finished that she sighed.
She hasn't seen the kids since she got Harry to owl them letting them know they were safe to head back home she had written them and floo called them but never saw them in person she was actually nervous of the children's reactions, she had gained more scars than the past since the end of the war. Not forgetting the scar on her arm and throat from Bellatrix including her after effects that she still suffered from. Hermione sighed she had a slight limp as well, however she knew the kids would understand but she was still nervous.
As Harry and Tonks headed to the kitchen they were greeted with Albus, Minerva, Remus, Severus and Molly, the twins were at the joke shop and Arthur was at work ''Hello''
''Ahh Harry how did the trip go and where is our Hermione too?'' Albus said smiling
Harry smiled ''It was good Albus, we managed to get what was needed and I managed to get my laptop and Tv'' He said grinning ''And Mione is in the training room connecting the fire up to the floo network''
''Might i ask why?''
''Well Mione said we should have one there instead of the living room, and I agreed I mean it's easier, safer especially now the kids will be here and if Lyra has a bad night and sleeps downstairs she won't be disturbed and it wont do her or Matthew any good seeing lots of different people coming and going, so I told her to add a caller alert making sure that anyone who tries to floo have to be accepted before gaining entrance I have told her to make an acceptance list to ensure certain people on the list can floo when ever without permission, i placed you and Minerva on their and of course, Tonks, Remus, Severus, Draco, Lucius''
Severus nodded but It was Remus who spoke ''That's the best thing you can do actually Harry, i mean this is your home now it is no longer needed for Headquarters' you are being kind enough allowing people to floo here to hold meetings still but now you will have the children here and safety and comfort is important, i am sure in a few more weeks everyone will be back to normal and we wont' need meetings as often.''
Harry nodded ''Yes that's true although there will be an Order Party every anniversary however I am looking forward to having a home for once and a family meaning I can walk around in what I like when ever I want''
Tonks laughed ''You got a point, you could sleep in your boxers on the sofa if you wanted too''
''Err not quite Tonks but that's the general idea'' he said laughing making the others laugh
Hermione joined everyone in the kitchen and smiled but her smile didn't reach her eyes like they usually would the only people to notice this was Harry of course but also Severus and Albus the others didn't' pick up on it ''Ok the floo's all done Harry i have disconnected the one in the living room''
Molly smiled at Hermione ''Sit Hermione dear I'll make you some Coffee if you like''
Hermione shook her head ''No thank you Molly, I don't' want a drink just yet, i am going to start on decorating the kids rooms and then sort Harry's things out but thank you for the offer'' she smiled sadly ''I don't suppose Ron's come around''
Molly looked at Hermione sadly ''No he hasn't been down since this morning, but I'm sure he will apologise soon enough''
Harry snorted and muttered under his breath ''Yeah right and I'm King of the Wizarding world'' unaware that everyone heard but he wouldn't' have known if they had as everybody stayed quiet obviously they agreed with Harry
Hermione looked at Harry and sighed before looking back at Molly ''Yes i suppose so, anyway i have to go do the kids rooms before I head back to Uni'' Hermione turned to leave the room when Tonks stopped her
''Need any help Mione''
''No, no thanks Tonks I'll be fine I wont be long'' she smiled before she finally left the kitchen and headed for the family wing to start on her kids rooms.
''Oh dear I didn't' mean for her to be upset over Ronald i could slap him i cannot believe how he is behaving''
Harry nodded ''I'm sure she'll be ok Molly'' However Harry knew it wasn't the Ron thing that had her upset and pensive, yes it didn't' help but she had slipped into that mood before Molly answered her or she asked about Ron and he knew it was to do with the kids. And since she was a worrier she was most likely worried about the kids reaction and parents to seeing her after finishing a war they were all still healing some more than others. He decided he would have a chat to her soon and see if she will tell him what's bothering her.
''I do hope not'' she sighed ''Honestly i don't' know what or where we went wrong with Ronald the rest turned out fine''
Harry frowned ''Molly, Ron is Ron, you are not to blame for how he acts, he is immature more than I realised or admitted he is also a very jealous person and he hasn't always been kind to Hermione nor me for that matter and when things got tough he went running he left us plenty of times, you were not to blame and aren't to blame the others are fine and stood by us and supported Mione over Lyra and Matthew not forgetting their pleased for Hermione's accomplishments and not jealous of her''
He said smiling softly ''I care for Ron he was my best friend since our first year we went through hard things and him being my friend made him a target unfortunately as it did Mione but Ron has changed for the worse since we won the war''
Molly nodded ''Yes, i guess I just don't' know where that boys' heads at''
Harry sighed ''Neither do i'' he watched as everyone went back to talking when Albus tapped him on the arm ''Albus''
''Is Hermione feeling ok I noticed she seemed a little lost and her smile didn't quite reach her eyes''
Harry sighed he could see Severus listening in ''Honestly i think she is afraid of the kids reactions to her scars and injuries from the war the children know of the war and about how we are hero's and followed all the time and have sometimes had mean things written about us but they have never seen her scars only the ones she have gained are noticeable''
He shook his head softly ''We haven't seen them since she sent them of to Australia we have written and spoke through the floo now and then but we have yet to see them in person this has been the longest we've been away from them''
Albus nodded ''Ahh i guessed it would be something to do with that, however I am sure the children will be just pleased to have their mother with them''
Harry nodded ''I think she's also scared about telling Lyra that there is no cure and that she is eventually going to pass on we decided we would have to tell her she knows she sick and about her illness but she still thinks she will be going to Hogwarts and becoming an Animagus like Mione but it's unfair she has the right to know she needs to know the facts it's going to be tough real tough, Matthew as Hermione said is an empath and he has pointed out to us that he feels like he's empty sometimes and that he can feel her leaving him it's a twin thing I guess and it isn't' fair to Matthew he needs to know the truth also although I am sure he knows the truth and Lyra on some level.''
Albus's twinkle was absent as he listened to Harry his heart was breaking for Hermione ''We will have to be here and support them it's all we can do and make it fun for her so she has memories of the magical world''
Harry smiled his green eyes were shining with tears as he looked at the headmaster and Severus ''Yes i know Mione and the kids will be pleased at that''
''Have you yet decided when to tell her the news''
''No Severus, Mione want's to do it after their birthday she want's them to have Christmas and there Birthdays without this sad news ruining it for them, we are planning on putting it off as long we can not that we can any longer but we will decided when to tell them when there here and settled in''
''Oh i see well that's understandable''
Tonks smiled ''I'm going up to see if Mione needs any help guys'' Tonks waved at them all before heading out to find Hermione.
