Sirius' Apartment - Monday 25th January 1982

Hermione awoke when she felt something hit her in the face and she opened her eyes for her vision to be obscured. She lifted her hand and picked up the item that covered her face. It was Draco's hippogriff. She chuckled and slowly sat up trying not to jostle the two sleeping toddlers on either side of her and she smiled down at them softly. She removed herself from the blanket and stood, covering the two sleeping boys and placing the hippogriff back in Draco's arms before she accioed the book she needed from her room and sat on the sofa.

She needed to find the spell that could track the use of the Imperius Curse and it took her a few minutes to find it, reading over the information on the page, learning the theory behind it and memorising the incantation and wand movements, but when she saw Remus enter the room, she snapped the book shut.

"Morning, Mia," he greeted, sitting down on the couch.

"Morning, Remus, I'll quickly shower and then make breakfast, will you watch the boys for me?"

He nodded and she stood and left the room. "I hear you have boyfriends!" She heard him call after her and she didn't need to look to know he had a smirk on his face. She popped her head back into the room, scowled at him, before sticking her tongue out and left the room to head for the bathroom, hearing his laughter.

After showering and dressing, she headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast which thankfully hadn't taken too long. Once she'd finished placing the food on the table, Remus entered carrying two boys in his arms and she smiled at them.

"Good Morning, Harry," she greeted.

He beamed at her and held his arms out expectantly, she chuckled and took him from Remus, setting him on her hip.

"Mimi," he said happily and he placed a sloppy kiss on her cheek.

"Thank you," she smiled and she kissed his cheek in return which pulled a giggle from him.

She turned her eyes towards a tired looking Draco and she chuckled. 'Exactly how I remember him. Not a morning person,' she thought amused.

"Good Morning, Draco."

He shyly looked to her and when she smiled at him, it seemed to ease him and he smiled back.

"Mi-mi-mia," he said and she smiled and he clapped when he'd spoken her name correctly.

"Are you hungry?" She asked.

"Dada," he said, his smile dropping from his face. "Dada," he repeated and she could see tears beginning to form in his eyes before they immediately fell down his cheeks and he started screaming.

Hermione immediately put Harry down in his seat and she took Draco from Remus, who sat with Harry. She paced back and forth, humming and whispering in his ear and he slowly calmed down.

"I'm going to do what I can to help your father, I promise," she told him. When he settled down she pulled back to look at his red face and she wiped away his tears and smiled at him softly. "No more crying, you're a big boy and you're strong. Now, before we get you dressed shall we have breakfast? Waffles?" He looked at her confused, obviously having no idea what waffles were. 'You poor little bugger,' she thought sadly.

She took a seat at the table and set Draco on her lap, reaching out she retrieved a waffle, put some maple syrup on it and then cut it up into small pieces and she handed him the fork. He looked over to Harry who was wolfing down his breakfast and giggling and he clumsily put the food in his mouth and ate greedily. She chuckled and shook her head.
