The Baby Project

Vacation with the Potters

After the term was over and everyone was back at home, Hermione, Draco, Ginny, and Harry decided to take a little trip together. Hermione was excited to get away for a few weeks and spend some quality time with her family. She had been so busy lately. A new prime minister was appointed, and she was having a hard time convincing her everything about the magical world. It took extra trips, and she was still having a hard time believing the women would keep it a secret. 

The children didn't know yet, and they were all going to tell them today when they got back from their lunch with Cissy. She was going to come to because the younger set of triplets were getting around much better now, and having 9 children to look after would be a big task. They were going to go to Madrid for a week and Barcelona for a week. All of the adults were really excited, and they were hoping their children would be just as happy. 

"Hello, mother," Scorp hugged his mother before sitting down on the floor in front of the chessboard. He and Hyperion had an ongoing game, and it was lasting for days. 

"Hello dear, where are your siblings?"

"Well, Hyperion should be right in, and Ara said she was going to do a lap of the gardens since it was so nice out. We might have worn grandmother out; she mentioned wanting to lie down."

"Could you do me a favor and find your sister, father, and I have some exciting news for the three of you." 

"Are you having another baby?" Scorp looked shocked. 

"No, of course not."

"Oh," Scorp laughed before heading outside to fetch his sister. 

Once all three of them were back in the living room, and Hermione and Draco had gotten the three littles up from their nap, they told them. 

"Two whole weeks!" Hyperion looked excited to be going somewhere they had never been before, and Ara looked equally as thrilled.

"This is so cool," Scorp added. 

"When are we leaving, Dad?" Ara looked as if she would start packing this instant, which was good because they were leaving tomorrow. 

"Actually, we are leaving tomorrow."

"Really!" Ara jumped up and started running up the stairs before coming back down and hugging both of her parents, "Thank you." 

"You are welcome sweetheart," Draco smiled at how wonderful his children were and helped Hermione up off the floor where she was sitting with Nova and Carina. They were all going to have to get packing if they were going to make their flight tomorrow. The babies were far too young to travel by port key, and there were too many children to apparate, so they were flying. Hermione had to convince Ginny and Draco that it was going to be alright, perfectly safe. 

"It is beautiful here!" Lily had a smile so big when they finally arrived. They had spent a few days close to the hotel exploring the neighboring streets, and today they were finally in the heart of the city. 

"It is, isn't it," Ara looked around at the architecture and was amazed at everything that was there. 

"So Ara," James really wanted to spend some time alone with her on this trip, but he wasn't sure that it was going to happen, "Do you think our parents would let you, me, your brothers, and Al go to dinner at one of those cafes down the road by our hotel one night this week. Without them?" 

"Maybe, why?" Ara smiled. They had grown closer since their date and even made time before the end of the term to go on another one. 

"Well, I thought if they do, then we could sit by ourselves and have like another date maybe. If you wanted to, of course."
