Harry Potter and the Year of the Little

A Day with Auntie Bella

Lucius' POV

I had finally finished unpacking. Draco was nodding off on our bed and I assumed Sev was talking to Tom or Bella. Harry was, of course, taking his nap. Everything was calm and quiet.

"Daddy, I's hungry," Draco told me. "Give me one more second Prince," I said, quickly putting my toiletries in the adjoined bathroom. He toddled after me, holding his stuffed dragon close. "Aren't you so cute!" I coo, scooping him up. I tickle his stomach and walk out of the room. "What do you want to eat Prince?" I ask him. "Stwawberries," he said.

When I get to the kitchen I set Draco down on the floor and begin searching for the strawberries. I find them in the fridge, pre-cut. I sprinkle a little sugar on them and put them in a bowl for Draco. I picked Draco up and carried him to the dining room next.

I set him in a booster seat and gave him the strawberries to eat. He immediately began munching on them. I sat down next to him, making sure he didn't go too fast. "All done," he told me. I ruffled his hair and took the bowl from him, setting it in the sink.

I carried him upstairs, making sure to stay quiet. When Draco saw Harry sleeping he squealed, "Bubby!" "Dragon, we have to be quiet," I remind him. He pouted at me but remained silent. I set him on the changing table that was in the room so I could change him. I quickly changed his diaper before setting him on the toddler bed that Tom had. I kissed him on the forehead and walked out of the room.

A few days later...

Bella's POV

"Where do you plan on looking?" I ask the two men. "Out of the country, we have to get away from Dumbles somehow," Lucius replies. "No go Daddy," Draco cried, clinging harder to Luke. "Daddy will be back soon Prince," he reassures the crying toddler. Harry is sucking his thumb, content in Sev's arms.

I hold out my arms for Harry, it's almost his naptime anyway. "Daddy," Draco cries, holding on tighter. "Draco, we will be back tomorrow," Lucius tells him. Severus attempts to hand me Harry but Harry just gripped onto Severus.

"Maybe we should just stay," Lucius suggests. "Nonsense," I chime in. "You need a break and I can watch the boys myself." Severus manages to hand me a teary-eyed Harry. I bounce him up and down, taking Draco's hand. "Say bye-bye to Daddy and Papa. They'll be back in a little bit," I tell the boys. "Daddy!" Harry wails as the two men apparate away.

Harry and Draco continue to sob and wail. I sighed and carried Harry up to the nursery, Draco still attached to my hand. "Babes, it's okay," I try and reassure them. Harry buries his head in my neck, refusing to look up. I rub his back before setting him in his crib. His eyes pop open and he begins to bawl again.

"I am right here," I tell him. "I'm not going anywhere." I set Draco on the changing table, quickly changing him into a new pull-up. Once he is changed I set him on the floor and grab Harry. He tried to cling to me again. I set him down on the changing table and changed him quickly too.

Once both boys were changed I carried them downstairs. Draco was sat in front of the TV and Harry came with me to the kitchen. "Want some nummies?" I ask him. He nods his head excitedly. I grab some puffs for Harry and some crackers for Draco to eat before their naps.

I set Harry in his high chair and dumped out a few puffs for him. I set a few crackers in front of Draco's booster before calling him in from the living room. "Yeah, Auntie Bella?" He asked. "I got you a snack," I said, pointing towards the crackers. I helped him get into his booster seat before he began munching away on his crackers.

"All done," Draco said proudly, crumbs all over his face. "More, more," Harry giggles. "That's enough for you," I tell Harry, ruffling his hair. He pouted but stopped asking. I helped Draco wipe his face and get out of his booster seat before I turned my attention to Harry.

"Alright little man, time for nap time," I tell him. I took him up to the nursery, where I changed his diaper and laid him down with a bottle. "I'll be right back, I gotta go get your brother," I tell him. I quickly run downstairs again and grab Draco before going back up the stairs. There needed to be a lot less stairs in this house. Once both boys were down I could finally clean up a little bit.
