reasonably short chapter, because of the way that the story plays out. Thank

From Chapter 23 – “Getting Close”
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>Each suit was layered – with an inner long-sleeved t-shirt of
dragon skin, matching and matching, insulated leggings. The suits also had
matching jackets with high collars and form-fitting pants.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> There were additional patches layered to cover
the heart in front and in back and at the wrists and shoulders. The suits were
fireproof and made them all but invisible, both magically and otherwise at
night. Harry thought that wearing them was uncomfortable, but not onerously so,
and it was a far sight better than being dead. Of course, each suit cost more
than a high-level ministry employee made in a year, but that was of little
consequence. If Harry had his way, ever member of the DA would get the same
kind of suit, and the program would be expanded from there. He hoped that
dragons weren’t some kind of endangered species or something.

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:

highly pregnant women floated in the dining hall. All discussions and talks
halted, and everyone turned to the two lovely looking women.

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:

long time?” asked Hermione with a little voice.

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:

other. Molly Weasley and Ann Granger looked at the men disgustedly.

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:

and walked to his wives, and grabbed their hands tenderly.

class=GramE>“You
two all right?style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:

drawled. Noises of sickness were heard from behind him. “style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Hermione? You first” he said. He turned to Posky, nodded his head to the
table, and looked pointedly at Hermione and Ginny. Posky immediately snapped
her fingers and two easy chairs appeared, and the table was enlarged … again.
Harry held out the two chairs and helped his two wives to sit. Ginny looked at
Hermione, amused, who smiled back. They were happy, the family was alive and in
one piece, their husband was being trained, and the babies were health.

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:

chair, kicking Fred’s chair hard enough to be felt.

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:

becomes harder to carry them.”

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>At that moment Pisky, Pasky, and Posky came into the dining hall
with dinner. All conversations stopped immediately and everyone started to eat,
except Mad-Eye Moody, who was very suspiciously investigating his food,
shooting sideways glances at the twins.

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:

about their newest joke items and the process of testing them on several of
their beta testers.

product is the same as the portable swamps, except that after twenty minutes the
swamp almost disappears, grows paws and walks ten meters to the north. Then it
will position itself in the new location and become a full sized swamp again,”
He swallowed a large potato. “Then the process repeats to the east, south and
west, before it settles down permanently,” he said proudly.

from a chair next to it, and did not expect it to move. We never found his
chair, though,” said Fred thoughtfully.

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:

and pushed Hermione, who seemed to come out of her thoughts and looked around.

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>“Yeah, then we have the breathing lungs, packaged as breath
lozenges. When anyone eats one, the sound of their breathing gets up to twenty
times louder. We gave this to Lee as well … the sound was terrible … he was not
pleased,” finished George with a frown.

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:

invisibility toffee. “This toffee really makes the person who eats the toffee
invisible, except for his or her feet; they will grow double in size.”

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:

else in the dining room.

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>“Do you remember that we sent Ginny toilet seats from Hogwarts,
and do you remember that the marauders hexed all female toilet seats in
Hogwarts in their time?” asked Fred. “We are in the process of creating the man
eating toilet,” George said proudly.
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>Hermione remembered. In fact, only this morning, it had taken
Harry twenty minutes to get Hermione out of the bathroom. Apparently, one of
the hexed female toilets had found its way to the Castle. If that hilarious
story ever came out in public, Hermione would probably castrate Harry slowly
and without any pain relief. Ginny felt her mouth twitching … and she had
problems keeping her laugher under her control. She immediately burst out
laughing.
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>Hermione froze, and slowly she looked threateningly at the
twins. Slowly her hand came up and
pointed at the unsuspecting twin.

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>Harry and Ginny felt the ambient magical energy in the room
spike and they both felt Hermione summoning their magical energies as well
before conjuring her own power. They knew that someone was in deep trouble.
Hermione’s eyes whorled deepest blue – just like her aura when she was aroused
– and she began whispering under her breath. Harry became very scared for the
twins “HERMIONE! Don’t hurt them!” A second later, Hermione yelled class=GramE>‘tentaculousstyle='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>’ style='mso-spacerun:yes'> and a pale yellow beam of ferocious
magical energy hit George straight in his chest. He looked wide-eyed at
Hermione, then at his chest.

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>The twins became instantly pink, and large tentacles appeared
from their heads and noses. They got huge breasts, and tentacles came from
their stomachs.

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:

Hermione, and smiled knowingly. “I was
worried you were going to do something else, Hermione. I couldn’t feel what you
were going to cast, like you can with me.” Harry thought to Hermione.

cool. Can you do that to your father as well, when he is naughty again?” she
asked with an innocent smile.

Harry
James Potter sighed. He was so tired that he could sleep on this spot. It was
not an easy task to be husband of two highly pregnant women with many wild
running hormones. Hermione was so moody these days, and Ginny was not much
better. Their love had not flagged,
though. If anything, it was stronger.
After
the dinning and entertaining at Christmas, Harry’s nightly adventures were
expanded dramatically. During the day, Hermione insisted that she held a diet,
while at night she was eating everything. Ginny was different. At night, she
was eating ice cream, and when it was day, she was moaning for hamburgers,
especially the triple cheeseburger with extra mayonnaise and ketchup. Hermione
changed her food habits with pizza. Pizzas with fish, then with cheese, then
with fish again. Harry was traveling the whole god damned muggle world for
pizzas.
Last
night it was the worst ever. Hermione was screaming for pizzas with cheese.
Harry apparated near a pizza restaurant and took three pizzas with him with
cheese. When he arrived in their bedroom, Hermione was demanding pizzas with
fish, because cheese made her fat.
Ginny
was crying for her ice cream. The house elves were working overtime to prepare
the ice-cold nightmares in the form of impossible colored ice cream. Harry was
smirking. He got the impression that even the house elves became stressed
because of the eating habits of his wives. He would be so happy when everything
would be over.
Suddenly
he realized what the situation he was. When he was already stressed because of
two women, what would happen when there would be eight women! One thing was
sure; he could not stand pizzas or hamburgers ever again.

"Courier New"'>************************************
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>Shopping again. Hermione
and Ginny were good at shopping. The two certainly knew how to spend money. It
was understandable in Hermione’s case. Her parents were both extremely competent,
highly credentialed muggles. They were both oral surgeons - a skill that was
totally unknown in the wizarding world.
As a result, they were a very well off family.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Ginny, on the other hand, had grown up poor.
Arthur Weasley had always worked for the Ministry for Magic and as a result,
had never made very much money. Their
poverty was odd, in some ways, because the Weasley family was one of the very
oldest pureblood families in the entire wizarding world. They held estates that
went on for thousands of acres and, in
island and the number of people in the country.
However, Arthur and Molly Weasley had never done anything to develop
their properties and as a result, never garnered the kinds of rents that were
possible. That fact didn’t bother either of them in the slightest. It had
affected the children, however. Charlie
worked with dragons and make exceptional money as a result; Bill was a curse
breaker for Gringotts and was paid commensurate with the kinds of risks he
encountered. Fred and George were making galleons faster than they could be
spent through the joke shop alone; not to mention the monies that were coming
from the weapons design and manufacturing they and Harry had teamed up to
do. Ginny had married into the
wealthiest wizarding family in all of
himself in Quidditch, but that was if or when Tom had been defeated. Until then,
he survived on the charity of his family (and some quiet help that Harry had
sent his way).
The
Daily Prophet had its good points. Everywhere where they went in Diagon Alley,
people hurried away and looked anxious to the group. Hermione was smirking and
Mad-Eye was grinning like a mad man...of course that was probably because he was
a bit of a lunatic. Who could think that Hermione, of all people he knew, could
change so much? She usually was so overprotective but,
today she was feeling vulnerable and had stayed very close to Harry.
“Eh…Harry?”
came the hesitant voice from Harry’s right. Fred was asking a question, and
that was never a good sign.
“Yes,
Fred?” Harry answered wearily.
“I
have a question,” Fred asked.
“No,
we have a question,” corrected George.
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>“Anyway. We have a
request,” Fred said. He looked to George, then to Harry.
“It’s
about Vivianne.”
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>“Who?” Harry asked confused.
“You
know, Vivianne. She is your daughter---our god daughter,” George
explained patiently, like talking to a toddler.
“Vivianne…Vivianne,
is that my daughter?” asked Harry, confused.
The
twins were looking at Harry strangely.
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>“Oh, of course…Vivianne, my daughter to be.style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'> What about her?”
“We
want to have …”
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'>“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!”style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Courier New"'> Screaming came from the inside of the shop.
In a
flash, Harry’s wand was in his hand. He turned immediately, slammed open the
door and stormed into the shop. Inside the shop, he saw Hermione and Ginny
looking distraught and Moody was staring at them with his eyes wide open.
“My
water broke,” screamed Hermione.
“Mine
too!" wailed Ginny.
Moody
rolled his eyes in his head and fell backward to the ground, fainting.
Harry
looked with wide eyes to his wives, and for several seconds everything seemed
to be frozen.
The
diminutive shop owner was frozen in her tracks, her arms full of dresses,
staring wide eyed to the girls. “Oh my. Your water has
broken, you must go immediately to St. Mungo's,” she said.
Harry
wasted no time. He grabbed a scarf from the rack; plunked down the right number
of galleons from his bag for it and whispered “portus”. In an instant,
there was a blue glow and Harry was holding a port key.
Hermione
and Ginny knew what he had done and took hold of the scarf. He looked at them
said silently “On three, ok? This will
take you to St. Mungo’s directly. I’ll be there in a moment. I love you
both. One, two, three…..”
There
was a noise, as if a door had opened and then closed again and the girls were
gone. “Fred, George!" Harry called aloud. Fred and George burst into the
shop, wands drawn, ready for anything.
“What?
Where are the Death Eaters!” George yelled, waving his
wand throughout the shop.
“Their
water just broke and I’ve sent them both to St. Mungo’s. I’ve got to get there
in a moment. I want you two to apparate to the Burrow and get your mother.
Please tell her to go and collect Hermione’s mother. BE CAREFUL. The death
eaters are going to be waiting and they’ll want to capture your mother or Mrs.
Granger. Ok – go now. If you need me, send your Patronus.”
Fred
and George were normally cut-ups who could not be serious for more than a
moment at a time. However, they both went dead serious
in countenance; took out their wands and looked at Harry. “We’ll do it, Harry.
We’re going to get Padma and Parvati as well as a few of the other DA members
to join us. We might need the extra protection.”
“Do
what you have to, both of you. Get Madame Pomfrey and tell the rest of the
DA…..thank you. I can’t ask for more.”
“Go
to your girls, Harry. We’ll see you there.” And with that, they both
disappeared.
