Lyra smiled ''I think they will love it, Nanny said it is the best thing we could give him and Mum, you know how much Sirius meant to him and mum.''
''Yeah he was cool wasn't he'' Matthew said smiling ''Especially when he would let us ride his back''
''I miss him, I know we didn't' really know him as we were only little but I would love to see him again''
''Well at least we know he is watching over us, now lets keep quiet don't' want mum and Uncle Harry finding out our present'' Lyra said to her brother as she looked towards the stairs making sure their mother wasn't' there.
Hermione walked into her bedroom with her fluffy towel wrapped around her, as she looked for something to where, she finally decided on some jogging bottoms and a t-shirt as she wasn't going anywhere until later, once that was done she waved her hand and dried her hair before sending her towel to the washing basket and leaving her room.
Harry was just stepping out of his own bedroom when he bumped into Hermione ''Oh good morning, thanks for sending them into me this morning.''
Hermione smirked ''Well you didn't' wake up to both of them on either side of you.''
Harry looked at Hermione in surprise ''Why were they in with you.''
''Matthew had a dream that yesterday wasn't real and that he was afraid I wouldn't' be here so came to check I was still here and that it was real.
Hermione sighed ''He was afraid he would wake up and we would be gone, Lyra felt sick and wanted to be with me I hate myself for what I have put them through they are that scared that me being here would be just a dream.''
Harry looked sad ''I know I feel the same but all we can do is be there from now on, and we can besides they will be living with us soon they will be fine you'll see.''
''I hope so Harry I really do'' Hermione said sighing as she walked down the stairs with him ''Kids I'm going to be making strawberry and chocolate pancakes ok''
''Um I don't like chocolate pancakes mum'' Matthew said looking at his mother
''Oh you always used to'' Hermione said a bit sadly but masking it from the kids
''I just don't' like them anymore that's all, could I have strawberry and blueberry pancakes please''
''Blueberries wow you never used to like them'' Hermione said smiling ''I'll do you some Strawberry and Blueberry ones they will be ready in five'' she quickly turned around and headed to the kitchen before they could see the tears welling up in her eyes.
Harry saw her eyes glass over and new she was close to crying he also watched as she walked out ''Kids find something good to watch after breakfast'' he quickly rushed towards the kitchen ''Mione''
Hermione wiped her eyes ''I'm fine Harry honest''
''Mione stop lying come here'' Harry pulled her around and into her arms as she cried into his chest. ''Shhh it's ok.''
''I have missed so much of there lives Harry, I should have known my son don't like Chocolate Pancakes anymore I'm such a shit mother'' she said in between sobs.
''Mione you are a good mother and your still up to date on them you know there likes and dislikes from letters, so you didn't know he disliked Chocolate pancakes it's no big deal, every child goes off things that we don't know about until we offer to cook it or buy it for them.''
Hermione knew she was being silly and knew Harry was right but it just brought back how much she wished she had been with them every step of the way not just on holidays and through letters ''Yeah, your right, I'm being silly''
''Exactly now get started on those pancakes I am looking forward to them, I'll get the drinks out''
Hermione smiled ''Ok, I'll have some Orange Juice as well for a change''
''Cool so that's two Orange Juice and two Apple Juice, since I fancy juice also'' Harry said with a chuckle
Hermione shook her head and began to crack the eggs and added the milk to the big jug, she used her magic to have the frying pan hot instantly so all she had to do was pour the pancake mixture into the pan she also transfigured it to fit four pancakes at a time ''Harry can you pass me the blueberry's and strawberry's, you can also get out the syrup, chocolate sauce, lemon juice and put some sugar on the table as well please''
Harry nodded he quickly poured two glasses of orange and two of Apple and put them on the table before putting the juice back and pulling out the requested items and placing them on the work top ''There we go''
''Thank you'' Hermione turned away and pulled out a knife and chopping board, along with two bowls and began to cut the strawberry's in half and added them to the one bowl while she rinsed the blueberry's before adding them to the second bowl.
Once that was done she waved her hand and both the knife and chopping board had been washed and put away so she could focus on the pancakes she needed to make sure they wouldn't' burn.
Harry saw she had finished with the fruit and decided to grab them and place them on the table along with the syrup, chocolate sauce, Lemon juice and sugar before he got out three china plates and two plastic.
He placed a china plate in front of both his and Hermione's seat before adding the plastic ones in front of the kids along with there drinks, leaving the final plate on the work top so she could place all the pancakes on when they were done.
Once that was done he took a seat at the table and talked to Hermione about their plans ''So are we doing anything later.''
''Yes remember how I told you I used to be in the choir and that I used to go to the Christmas service.''
Harry nodded ''Yeah and now your parents take them also.''
''Yes well the kids asked if would still go and if we would go also, so I said we would, you don't' have to of course but I thought it would be nice it will be you, me the kids and both mum and dad, the old vicar that knew me when I was younger still works there apparently.''
Harry smiled ''Sounds good to me, the Dursely's never took me anywhere like that and I always used to wonder what they were like when other kids would talk about going.''
Hermione bit the inside of her cheek at the thought of the Dursely's she still had a score to settle with them and she would pay them back for everything they did to Harry. ''Cool it starts at eight and don't' finish until ten usually well as far as I remember.''
Harry smiled ''Fine by me
Hermione had taken the first four out and placed them on to the plate with a warming charm before placing the next four into the pan, she would do them three each.
A few moments later she was placing the now cooked pancakes on the plate ''Harry call the kids''
''MATTHEW, LYRA BREAKFAST IS READY'' Harry shouted by the doorway.
Just as Hermione was placing the plate on to the table she saw both her kids take a seat with a pleased smile on their faces ''Ok guys there are three each, you can add what ever toppings you like''
Hermione sat down and joined the kids and Harry she pulled a pancake onto her plate and watched as the kids did the same, she decided to have lemon juice and sugar on her first one, while she noticed that Lyra chose strawberry, Matthew both Blueberry and Strawberry while Harry chose chocolate sauce causing her to shake her head at his sweet tooth she knew he would choose the
chocolate sauce.
Harry saw Hermione shaking her head ''What''
''You, and the amount of Chocolate sauce you have on that pancake, you could have had fruit, you were the same at Hogwarts when desert was available you have such a sweet tooth.''
Matthew and Lyra laughed when they saw there uncles cheeks tinge pink.
''Well, I can't help it shouldn't' be so nice should it'' Harry said blushing a bit as he thought back to his antics in Hogwarts when it came to deserts.
''Hey Mum why did you pull me out of school? i know I don't' like it but I don't understand you wouldn't' do it before''
Hermione paused for a moment she didn't want to tell them just yet she wanted them to know on Christmas Day however she also wanted to tell them now in the hopes it would calm their fears ''I just decided you deserved a proper school, so I pulled you out besides after your Uncle Harry told me what happened with the teacher I'm glad you no longer attend''
Matthew nodded ''Oh right well what am I going to do about school now then?''
''I'll get you a new one or home school you either way you will get your pre-education before you attend Hogwarts''
Harry saw Hermione's pensive look and knew that she was thinking of telling them earlier instead of tomorrow most likely in the hopes to wipe their fears away of her and himself disappearing like a dream.
He had found himself agreeing with her original idea although he had been excited and wanted to tell them straight away but she had told him that they should wait, now however he could see her having doubts he would see if he could persuade her to tell them tonight.
Once breakfast was over Matthew and Lyra asked if they could play a board game
''What game do you want to play''
''Mouse trap, Buckaroo, Frustration or kerplunk'' Lyra said happily from beside her brother.
Harry looked at Hermione as she was placing things away he watched as she kept a heating charm on some spare pancakes she had made while they had been eating there's so when their mother and father could have some ''What do you think Mione.''
Hermione smiled ''I think it's a perfect idea, how about we play them all through out the day, so it don't' matter which one we play first go and choose we'll be in now.''
Lyra and Matthew finished their juice and run into the living room.
''Oh yes I forgot did you know with there wandless magic they can now summon things to them, and earlier they did there first long distance summoning charm, they each did one, Lyra summoned her pain potion, and Matthew the sickness one, and they were in my bedroom doing it, I asked them if there was anything else but they shook there head.''
Harry was stunned ''Wow, how...''
''My bloody old books that's' how'' Hermione said sighing ''I'm proud but I just wish...''
''That you were the one to be here to teach them how to do it and explain it to them instead of them using a book'' Harry said knowing this was to do with her not being in there lives enough again
Hermione sighed ''No...yes...oh i don't know I guess it is on some level, i mean I'm not to happy because they could have been hurt trying any magic so advanced...''
''But there your kids, they probably read everything and practiced the positions and movements before actually doing it''
Hermione had to smile at that because she knew he was most likely right ''I know I'm feeling sorry for myself I suppose but there is no need anymore because I am not leaving them ever again''
Harry grinned ''That's the spirit now let us go play a game at Seven in the morning''
Hermione laughed and followed him into the living room to see they had frustration out she sat down and began assembling it and placing the pieces in there right place before they all began to play ''Ok youngest first''
Harry laughed ''Ok so Matthew, Lyra, Me then Mummy''
Hermione narrowed her eyes ''And why am I last''
''Because your older and you used the time turner'' Harry said grinning
Hermione huffed ''Fine, let's go Matthew you first.''
