Chapter 8: Familiar Faces

October 2012

"It will only be for the day," Theo chuckled as Theodora and Scorpius crawled around his feet. Hermione was currently in her element with her children and in a good mood. It was the perfect time to convince her to let him take Lyra to Hogwarts with him and Athena. "You will watch Logan and I'll take Lyra. Just a swap for the day."

"So you want to take the older two with you to Hogwarts," Hermione smirked, looking up from her spot on the floor. She couldn't help her chuckle when Scorpius crawled his way over to her and into her lap. "To see Neville."

"I also need to see McGonagall," Theo pointed out smirking.

"Please mummy! Please!" Lyra said, her little hands clasped in front of her pleading. "I promise I'll be so good."

"Do you promise to listen to Uncle Theo and not to run off from him and Athena?" Hermione said, smiling softly at her daughter.

"I promise," Lyra said.

"Alright my love," she said, kissing the top of Scorpius' head and running her fingers through his white-blonde curls. "Go and get your jumper please."

"Thank you mummy," Lyra said running off and going to grab it.

"Do not bring Mione with you! She has to stay here with me, the babies, and Hercules!"

"Oh you're no fun," Theo chuckled and set Logan down, taking a moment to love on his goddaughter.

Hermione could remember the first time they had taken Lyra to see Hogwarts. They had decided to go and watch the annual Gryffindor vs Slytherin quidditch game and brought along the older children with them. Lyra, Athena, and James had been excited all day. When she watched her daughter see Hogwarts for the first time with little eyes full of wonder. She had wanted to see everything and know everything and it was one of the happiest moments in her life. Even though she didn't exactly enjoy knowing she was going to go to watch a Quidditch game, she wouldn't have traded that moment for the world.

"Daddy it's so big," Lyra said bouncing with excitement as she sat in Draco's lap. Hermione couldn't help but shake her head as she watched them. Somehow Draco had gotten her into a black shirt and green dungarees. She had little Green bows holding her curls back and a Slytherin jumper that Pansy had insisted she had to wear.

"I know little dragon," Draco said holding her close to him.

"Where's the snitch? Can we fly after the game? Papa, did you play Quidditch?" Lyra prattled and continued to let questions fly out of her mouth. Draco and Lucius were being very patient and answered all of her questions, quite entertained with her. Hermione chuckled and looked on the other side of her where James and Harry were having the exact same conversation except they were dressed in Gryffindor colors.

"Let's see how long it takes mummy to pull out a book because she's bored," Draco chuckled, causing Hermione to turn her attention back to him. She narrowed her eyes at his little smirk.

"I didn't bring any books thank you," Hermione said rolling her eyes causing everyone to laugh.

"I'll believe that when I see it," Harry chuckled and Hermione pushed him playfully. Athena whispered in Theo's ear and he couldn't help but chuckle a little and smile softly at his daughter.

"Hermione, Athena would like to know if she can read one of your books," Theo said smiling knowingly. Everyone looked at her, stifling laughter as they awaited her answer. With a sigh, she reached into her bag and pulled out a book causing everyone to start laughing again.

"Here you go love," she said, handing it over to Athena who smiled at her.

"Thank you Auntie Mione," Athena said sweetly and started reading. Looking back at Draco, she couldn't help but blush when he winked at her before turning his attention back to Lyra who was enthusiastically asking more questions.
