No reviews… I may cry.

Harry held Cassie, watching Draco as he fed Orion. The sub was happy for once, and Harry wasn’t sure that his scent wasn’t helping matters. He’d let it flow freely since Tyrion and Emily left, and Draco was surprisingly biddable and content since then.

“Harry, I need a diaper.” Draco said, wrinkling his nose. “And could you change it?” He asked.

Harry glared at Draco. “I’ll get you one, but you’re changing it.” He said firmly.

Draco sighed. “Fine.” He said.

Harry walked into the nursery and stopped short when he smelled something foul. “And I’m changing one, too, it seems.” He muttered, looking down at Orion. He got two diapers and brought them into the bedroom, handing one to Draco.

They each changed their diapers, having a bit of trouble and both wrinkling their noses at the foul smells their children had produced.

“How can things so small be so nasty?” Draco asked, gagging. “Can I call Ellie? Please?”

“No, Draco.” Harry said firmly. “We’re not going to rely on a house-elf, we don’t need to. Muggles do this kind of thing all the time without house-elves. We can manage.”

Draco huffed, looking put-out, but didn’t say anything.

There was a knock at the door. Harry shifted Orion slightly to hold him easier, and made his way downstairs. He opened the door to find Tyrion there with a large pot of something.

Tyrion smiled. “I brought some stew. Mother thought neither of you would feel up to cooking, so she had me bring you something. Do you want me to watch the babies so you and Draco can get some sleep? It’s important not to wear yourselves out, and I’d be happy to help.” He offered.

Harry smiled. “That sounds lovely, actually. Let’s go see if Draco’s okay with it.”

They headed upstairs and Harry walked into the bedroom. “Draco, Tyrion offered to watch Orion and Cassie so we can get some sleep. I think we should.”

“I don’t want him watching them.” Draco said coldly.

Harry gaped at Draco. “What has gotten into you? Draco, there’s no need to be rude! Apologize!” He ordered.

Tyrion shifted, clearing his throat, and Harry let his scent fill the room.

“Do it, Draco.” He said firmly.

Draco looked up at Harry, then down at Cassie and sighed. “I’m sorry, Tyrion. That was rude of me. I’d appreciate the help.” He said.

Tyrion smiled and took Orion and Cassie, expertly holding one in each arm. “I’ll take them downstairs so you two can get some sleep. Four hours sound good? I’ll come wake you then.”

Harry sat on the bed next to Draco. “That sounds lovely. Thanks.”

Tyrion nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him.

Harry turned to Draco. “You’ve been very rude lately, Draco.”

Draco rolled his eyes. “Maybe you should punish me, then, oh great master.” He sneered.

“That actually sounds like a good idea. Lie over my lap.” Harry said.

Draco gaped at him. “What?!”

Harry raised an eyebrow at him. “If you’re going to insist on acting like a child, I’m going to punish you like one. Over. My. Lap.” He repeated. When Draco didn’t move, he pushed a bit more with his scent. “Now, Draco.”

Draco crawled out from under the covers and lay over his lap, flushing. He was naked already, since he’d been in bed most of the time since having the babies two days ago, except to use the bathroom.

Harry ran a hand over his bare ass, then brought his hand down, hard, on one smooth cheek.

Draco gasped, back arching, as a handprint formed.

Harry pulled back his hand and struck him on the other side, another pink mark blooming.

“Oh!” Draco cried out in shock.

Harry began smacking faster, just enough to sting, but not enough to leave any lasting damage. When Draco’s ass was pink and warm, he stopped. “Are you going to be polite now?” He asked.

Draco nodded.

Harry rubbed over the pink skin and up over Draco’s back. “Are you okay?”

Draco rolled off of his lap and looked up at him, flushed. “Yes, except that now I’m horny and in no position to do anything about it.” He groused playfully.

Harry chuckled. “We’ll explore erotic spanking later. For now, let’s get to sleep.” He said, helping Draco under the covers and climbing in himself.

*****

Harry sighed. “Are we going back to school?” He asked Draco, looking down at Cassie, who was nearly asleep, sucking on the bottle only half-heartedly as her eyelids drooped.

Draco looked up from his contemplation of Orion and shrugged. “To be honest, I think it would be easier to study here and just take our N.E.W.T.s at the Ministry. Everyone here is helpful, we’ve got plenty of help with these two.” He said.

It was true. Tyrion had been over more than once to watch the twins, and he’d brought Jessica and Jenn over once as well. Both girls seemed to be in love with the babies, holding them and cooing at them. They’d even been willing to help change diapers and feed them.

Emily seemed to think this was only natural. “They’ll be good mothers someday.” She’d said when Harry had mentioned it. “It’s good that they’re getting practice now.”

Harry bit his lip. “It would be easier, but I want to go back to Hogwarts.”

Draco smiled at him. “So, what are we doing?” He asked.

Harry had noticed him doing that a lot more often, deferring to Harry in matters both big and small. He seemed to be a lot more agreeable than he’d been before. Harry nodded decisively. “We’re going to go back, but I’m asking Dumbledore if we can bring someone with us to help care for them.” He told Draco.

Draco sighed. “Tyrion.” He said resignedly.

Harry shrugged. “Why not? He’s good with them, you can’t deny that. And we do need the help. Besides, this will be a good way for him to get out of the village and see a bit more of the world. It’s a safe way for him to do that.” He said. “I’m going to ask him if he’d like to come with us. Is that okay with you?”

“I guess it’s fine. We could use the help. And he’s not all that bad.” Draco admitted.

Harry beamed at him. “Good. Do you want to take Cassie while I go talk to him?” He asked.

Draco laughed softly. “Just put her in the crib for now. Or haven’t you noticed that she fell asleep?”

Harry looked down, and sure enough, she was fast asleep. He flushed and went to put her in the crib.

He came back into the room and bent to kiss Draco. “I’ll be back in a few.”

Draco shrugged. “Take your time explaining it to him, if you need to. I’ll be fine with them for a bit.” He said.

Harry nodded and left, heading for Emily’s house. He knocked and a few seconds later, Tyrion opened the door. “Hi!” He said happily. “What brings you here?” He asked, stepping aside so Harry could come in.

Harry walked in and smiled at him. “I actually came to talk to you. Well, and I suppose your mother.” He said.

Tyrion nodded. “Mum, Harry’s here! Says he wants to talk to us!” He called out toward the kitchen.

Emily came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on an apron, and Harry thought of Molly Weasley. He needed to visit the Weasley house over the summer at some point. They’d adore the babies.

“What can I do for you, Dear? Everything going well with Draco and the little ones?” She asked, sitting down at the table. “Tea?” She offered.

“Yes, please.” Harry accepted. “Actually,” He busied himself making his tea as he talked, “I came to ask you if you’d be willing to let Draco and I take Tyrion with us when we go back to finish the year at Hogwarts. If Tyrion wants to come help with the twins, of course.” He finished, taking a sip of tea.

Emily smiled. “I’m fine with it. Jake can certainly help me with any medical things that come up here, and Tyrion would probably love to see your school. I’ll leave you two to talk about it, shall I?” She asked, patting Tyrion’s hand. “Go if you want, Ty, baby.” She said warmly.

Tyrion stared at Harry for a few long moments. “Draco agreed to this?” He asked.

Harry flushed. “It was more I told him what I was going to do, but yes, he sees why it’s a good idea.”

Tyrion nodded with a smile. “So things are going well.”

“He’s been much better since I started following my instincts with him, yes.” Harry admitted.

“I’d like to go, Harry, but only if it’s not going to cause trouble.” Tyrion said.

Harry smiled. “It won’t. He agreed to it, and he doesn’t go back on his word. It’s truly your decision at this point.”

Tyrion smiled. “In that case, yes, I’d like to go. I love Orion and Cassie, and seeing Hogwarts would be a lot of fun.” He said happily.

“Then you’ll come?” Harry asked.

Tyrion nodded. “Yes. Should I pack a trunk?”

Harry nodded. “Yeah, go ahead and do that. I’m going to write to Dumbledore, and knowing him, we’ll be heading out as soon as I get the reply.” He said with a chuckle.

Tyrion nodded. “Well, then, I’ll get ready. Let Draco know I agreed, and thank him for me, will you?”

Harry nodded. “I will.”

*****

Fawkes appeared in a burst of flame, and Harry dropped the bottle he’d been closing. Milk splattered all over the kitchen floor.

Harry sighed and cleaned it with a wave of his wand, then took the letter Fawkes was clutching in his talons.

          “My Dear Boy,

                   Of course you can come back to Hogwarts, and bring the babies and this Tyrion chap. I’ll make sure you and Draco have a suite that can accommodate you all.

          My Floo is open now, if you’d like to come though sometime in the next two hours. I told Hedwig to go to the Owlery and wait for you.

          I can’t wait to see you and your new family. I’ll see you soon, my boy.

Albus Dumbledore”

Harry smiled. They were ready to go.

*****

Harry spilled out of the Floo, ungracefully.

Draco, who had held Cassie and gotten through just fine, laughed. “Get out of the way, or Tyrion will trip on you.” He advised.

Harry got out of the way just as Tyrion came though, holding Orion.

Dumbledore smiled. “So, we have some new faces! Do I get introductions?” He asked Harry.

Draco stepped forward. “This is our girl, Cassiopeia Serpens Malfoy.”

Harry pulled Tyrion forward. “And our boy, Orion Leo Malfoy. This is Tyrion Blakely, he’s been helping us with them, and we couldn’t have managed without him so far.” He finished.

Tyrion flushed. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Sir.” He said with a nod, as his arms were rather occupied with Orion.

“Blakely? From Sinicus Creek? I believe I know your Grandfather. Is his name Gerard?” Dumbledore asked.

Tyrion looked stunned. “Yes. You’ve visited Sinicus Creek? But, Sir, you don’t smell like a Sinicus!”

Dumbledore laughed. “No, I’m sure I don’t. I was invited by Severus Snape to go when he went to deliver some delicate potions that were needed. No one there had the skill to brew what was needed, so they asked for his help. He knows how I love to go new places.”

“Oh.” Tyrion said, nodding. “Yes, I heard about him. And the friend he brought. My grandfather did mention you once.”

Dumbledore smiled. “Lovely. How is he doing?”

“He’s fine, Sir. Getting a bit tetchy in his old age, but with grandfather Luke gone, that’s to be expected.” Tyrion answered sadly.

“Oh, my. I had no idea he’d lost his mate.”

Tyrion nodded. “Two years ago, Sir.”

Dumbledore nodded. “I’m sorry to hear that. Well, we should get you all settled into your rooms. If you’ll follow me, I’ll show you where they are while everyone is still at class, and you can get settled in.” He chortled.
