Chapter Thirteen
For the first year of James' life, Harry and Hermione changed their routine. Hermione quit her job at Neville's flower shop, and Harry spent less time at the Auror's office, much to his boss' dismay, but he was not going to be the one who fired Harry Potter. Besides, no one else would take the Malfoy case. So, Harry would leave work in the morning after kissing his wife and son, and be back home in the afternoon rather than late in the evening. Since he was no longer a field agent, Harry spent most of his time behind a desk, and training new Aurors. Hermione started school after James' first birthday, and the little tyke found himself spending his mornings with either Grandma Molly or Grandma Emylee. Sometimes it was Aunt Petunia watching him. Hermione had to put her schooling on hold when she became pregnant again. This time she and Harry wanted to be surprised, and they welcomed their second child, a daughter, Lily Rosetta, into the world on October 31, 2003. Ron was named godfather as Neville filled the godfather role for James. James was two at the time, and ready to take big brother responsibilities. Everyone could tell that Lily looked every bit like her mother, however, it was her eyes that made her her father's daughter. She was just like her brother though, crying for one of her parents at night to feed her, change her or just to hold her. She was mostly a daddy's girl, though, having Harry wrapped around her little finger.
With a new baby in the house, Harry and Hermione had to move into a bigger place. They had settled for No. 12 Grimmauld place after Harry and Dobby, spent twelve painstaking hours getting Mrs. Black off the wall. Her current residence was now up in the attack, with the rest of the Black family. The portraits on the wall now consisted of Muggle and Wizard pictures of friends and family. Dobby became a permanent residence of No. 12 Grimmauld Place after Hermione insisted that they pay him for being somewhat of a nanny to the children. Harry was on the verge of retiring from the Auror business, and McGonagall had made it clear to him that the DADA position was still his if he wanted it. He had accepted her offer the same day that Hermione told him she was pregnant again. This time it was a shock though. She was pregnant with twins.
Harry fell out of the fireplace in the living room to find Dobby was cleaning again. "Dobby are you cleaning again?" he asked.
"Yes, sir, but Miss Hermione told me not to tell you why," Dobby said, "She is in the kitchen," he added.
"Thanks, Dobby," Harry said hanging up his cloack. He walked into the foyer, and was greeted by an almost three year old running down the hall.
"Daddy!!" James shouted. Harry picked up his son, and carried him down the length he had just ran.
"What's your mum up to?"
"She cooking," the toddler said.
"What about your sister?"
"She taking a nap." Father and son entered the kitchen to find Hermione at the stove. "Mummy, I find Daddy!"
"I see you did," Hermione said turning away from her cooking. Harry put James down, and walked over to his wife of three and a half years.
"Afternoon," he said before plating a kiss on her. "You seem different."
"Really? How so?" she asked.
"Well, you just seem more happy," he said, "You're glowing," he said.
"Harry, I have wonderful news," she said.
"So, do I," he said, "I accepted Minerva's offer to teach at Hogwarts. You are looking at the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Hermione squealed.
"Oh, Harry, that's wonderful," she said.
"So, what's your good news?" he asked.
"I'm pregnant," she said. She smiled at Harry's disbelief look.
"Again?"
"Harry, it's partly your fault, too," she said.
"I know, but it seems so sudden," he said, "I mean, Lily was born seven months ago, and here she's already going to be a big sister."
"Well, I can blame my horny husband," she said, "You were the one who wanted to christen our new home." Harry cleared his throat as he remembered the first night in their new home. Hermione giggled. "Oh, the best part?" she inquired.
"Yes?"
"It's twins," she said. Harry's face grew a smile as he attacked his wife's neck.
"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" he asked.
"Only about ten times this morning," she said.
"Eww, gross, Daddy," James said from his spot at the kitchen table. Harry and Hermione laughed before pulling apart from each other.
"So, are we going to be surrprised again?" he asked.
"Sure," she said.
"We're having twins," he said obviously excited.
"I know," she squealed.
Months flew by like the Golden Snitch as Hermione's belly grew twice as large with twins. With Harry's new job, they decided to look at houses in Hogsmeade to move into. While James and Lily were watched by their Grandparents Weasley, Harry and Hermione looked for houses big enough to hold them and four children. They looked at three before finding a four bedroom house just outside of Hogsmeade in the countryside. They moved in right away in time for James' third birthday party. The three year old enjoyed having his friends around, and the wrapping paper never stood a chance. September came soon, and Harry eased into his role as the new DADA teacher. He also had time to have a party for Hermione's 25th birthday party. Then October came by, and it was Lily's 1st birthday. Halloween was the day where there was a party in the Great Hall for the students, so Harry and Hermione decided to have the birthday party at the cottage.
December was the due date for the twins, and the teachers had taken to having a baby poll. Harry and Hermione had chosen names already, and were keeping them a complete secret. You realize that they had to pick several names. Two for if the twins were girls, two if the twins were boys, and of course, there was the chance that the twins would be a boy and girl. They had their list, and were ready to make a choice. The twins decided to make their presence known on Christmas Eve night at 8 pm. Harry hurried her to Fleur's OB clinic in Hogsmeade, and it was determined that she was in labor. The twins, it looked like, were going to be Christmas babies. Hermione was surprised that it was this late in December to have them. The original due date was over five days ago. They were actually late. It was a brutal ten hour ordeal, but Hermione managed to bring the twins into the world. First it was a girl at 6:33 am, Celeste Alexandra Potter weighing in at 6lbs, 10oz followed by boy at 6:45am, Cedric Alexander Potter weighing in at 6lbs, 3oz. It was Fleur's surprise that she and fellow former Triwizard champion, Victor Krum were named godparents. A tribute to their fallen comrade that dark night almost ten years ago, and it was Minerva who won the baby poll.
