Harry smirked he knew the kids loved to hear of their adventures and he didn't' lie to them either he made sure they knew that it was there mother that kept him alive by using her brains and skills. ''Ok then well it was in our third year when it happened, I had an argument with the Dursely's and blew my Uncles Sister up I hadn't meant to I was mad she said some mean things about my parents...'' and the story had begun.
Hermione walked into her daughter's room and smiled ''What story would you like me to tell you''
Lyra smiled ''Can you tell me about the one where you turned into a cat and made a potion to help Uncle Harry.''
Hermione smiled ''Ahh the one where Uncle Harry used the sword of Godric Gryffindor to slay the Basilisk, I suppose so''
Hermione made sure her daughter was comfortable and began to run her fingers through her hair ''It was our second year when I met up with Ron and Harry in the book shop known as Flourish and Bolts I noticed it was full more than usual and that it was because a man who was supposed to be a brilliant DADA Professor was standing there his name was Gilderoy Lockhart, he thought he was handsome when really he was a slime ball many witches older and younger fancied him...''
And like Harry she began the tale of their second year adventure she even told her daughter of the stupid crush she had on him for all of a week before she found he was a fraud causing her daughter to laugh.
Matthew laughed when he thought of his mother on the back of a Hippogriff he knew she was afraid of flying ''So mum really did go back in time and you both used a Hippogriff''
Harry smiled ''Yes she still has the time turner I think however it is covered with lots of dangerous charms and protections for it could be dangerous in the wrong hands, and we did his name was buckbeak.''
''And Professor Lupin who is your Dads and Sirius friend is a werewolf and he had to take a potion to help him with the pain''
''Yes Remus is a lovely man, but he feels sad being a werewolf people are not very nice to him''
Matthew frowned ''That's not nice it's not like he asked to become one he had no choice''
Harry smiled ''I know buddy, I know now lie down your mother will be in to see you in a moment I'll see you in the morning''
''Night Uncle Harry''
''Night buddy''
''Whoa does Severus know that it was you who stole those ingredients''
''I don't know I do know that he is aware that I got hold of some Polly Juice since he would have been the one to brew the counter potion to change me back to human so it wouldn't surprise me.''
''And your now friends with Draco Malfoy even though he bullied you, tormented you and attacked you many times''
Hermione smiled ''yes, yes and yes, but it's like I said he was made to be that way, same as his father he was a Death Eater they both were along with Seveus but they were good guys deep down, Lucius Malfoy was a spy only he didn't have the protection of Hogwarts like Severus did, so he had to be more evil to hide it from Voldemort other wise he would have been killed.
Hermione smiled at her daughter ''Draco didn't know and was brought up to be the way he had even though his father didn't' want him to be brought up like he was luckily it was found out in the end and Draco had truly seen the error of his ways by our fifth year.
Hermione sighed sadly ''But by then he was in too deep and sacred for his life, but me and your Uncle Harry helped him gave him protection and support and now were great friends and I know they can't wait to meet you and Matthew''
Lyra nodded ''Oh I understand it's good to know they weren't really evil, they made a mistake and changed it before it was to late that says they are good people.''
Hermione smiled at her daughter ''I know Princess, but not everyone see's it like you it's a shame anyway go to sleep now I'll see you in the morning Uncle Harry will be in to say good night in a bit'' Hermione got up of the bed and kissed her daughters head ''Night Princess love you''
''Night mummy Love you''
Hermione smiled just as she left the room she bumped into Harry ''Oh how did the story go.''
''He had me telling him about our third year again what about you.''
''Oh she had me telling her about out second year and me turning to a cat.''
Harry chuckled ''I must admit when I talk about them it makes me laugh I know they were dangerous but god those times were funny when you think about it.''
Hermione smiled ''I know what you mean, it was like we were spies changing into people to find information, we actually did have some wild adventures didn't we.''
Harry chuckled ''We sure did, however I do hope that the kids don't' meet with Aragogs children'' he said chuckling
''No nor a three headed dog''
''But that's Hagrid for you so they probably will meet some kind of wild misunderstood creature.''
Hermione and Harry laughed as they thought of Hagrid's quote of there just misunderstood when you're facing a dragon or a blast ended skrewt ''Anyway she's waiting for you, I'll go say night to Matthew and I'll see you in the morning also'' Hermione kissed Harry on his cheek as she walked to her son's room.
''Hey my little Prince did you enjoy the story''
''Uh huh, I still find it funny that you flew on a Hippogriff yet you wont go on a broom.''
''Well it was the only way out, I flew on a dragon also but that doesn't mean I liked it or enjoyed it, I had no choice it was important to get out alive, anyway I come to say goodnight''
Hermione walked over and kissed her son on his head she made sure he was tucked in and smiled ''There comfy''
''Yes mum''
''Good, I love you sleep tight''
''Love you too''
Hermione smiled and left his bedroom closing the door behind her as she made her way to her own bedroom. and climbed into be she knew the kids would be up early tomorrow she cast her wards to stop everyone hearing her nightmares but made sure she could here if anyone needed her before she climbed into bed and willed herself to sleep.
Harry smiled when he saw Lyra snuggled under her quilt ''Hey Angel how are you feeling''
''I'm ok Uncle Harry, Mummy told me about you using Polly Juice to spy on your friend Draco and how you used the actual sword of Godric Gryffindor to kill a snake.''
Harry smiled ''I did, but if it wasn't for your mum we would never have found out that it was a snake nor be able to use the Polly Juice to find information your mum was petrified and still managed to help us solve the mystery.''
Lyra smiled ''Mums clever''
''She certainly is just like the two of you, now sleep it's late'' Harry kissed Lyra on the cheek before smiling ''Night Angel''
''Goodnight Uncle Harry love you''
''Love you too'' Harry just like Hermione walked into his room and placed the same wards as her before slipping into the comfortable bed and allowing sleep to take him he was looking forward to Christmas day and seeing the kids faces.
Hermione began to stir and her eyes shot open at first due to her natural reflex but she soon relaxed as she realised she was in her childhood bedroom in her parents house and that she had two kids tucked into her on either side of her she smiled down at her children she kissed them softly and lay there wrapping her arms around them she was surprised to see them in her bed but it was nice.
