It had been weeks since Hermione's birthday, and she got slightly bigger. The twins were due any day now, and the champions were also going to be called in a few short days. Harry and Hermione were spending their time doing homework, walking around the grounds, in the library studying, or just laying down on the common room couch.
Ron and Ginny hadn't done so much as even talk to them, they just simply ignored them. Harry and Draco slowly got closer together, before long they even started to call each other constantly by their first names, and Draco never calling Hermione a mudblood anymore.
Dumbledore wasn't any better either, he kept a very close eye on them. Harry and Hermione were always cautious as to make sure he did nothing to jeopardize them, or their children. He called them into his office one day, saying that it was very 'important',
Flashback...
"Mr. Potter, Miss Granger, may I see you in my office?" Dumbledore said, "it's very important."
"Yes Professor," they said. They made their way through the Great Hall (Hermione occasionally bumping into someone). They went up and saw the gargoyle, they didn't know what the password was so they had no way of getting in.
"Do you know the password?" Hermione asked.
"Nope," Harry said. "It's a type of candy, I know it, he always has a type of candy as his password."
"That may be true Harry, but it'd take us forever to figure it out. Do you know how many types of candies there are?" Hermione said in her I-know-what-I'm-talking-about voice.
"Ah, Mister Potter, Miss Granger, I thought perhaps you had gotten lost. It is quite a big castle after all." Dumbledore said, eyes twinkling away.
Bastard better have a good reason as to why we're here, Harry thought cruelly. Dumbledore blinked, but didn't change the look on his face.
"Well, let us go in. I've a few things to tell you." He said gesturing to the gargoyle. He said the password, 'chocolate frogs', and they went in.
"Sit down," Dumbledore said. They sat down and Dumbledore offered them some chocolate, but Harry politely said no, Hermione said it wasn't good for the babies.
"Well, yes. Now, I hear that Minerva is making a personal room for the four of you. Am I correct?" Dumbledore asked.
"You're right, she just said that what you did was unfair, so she volunteered to make one for us. It's nearly done." Hermione said not thinking. She instantly realized what she said and looked at the floor.
"Yes, I'm sorry you two, but I cannot allow you two to have a separate room for you two. It would not be fair to the other students." Dumbledore said.
"But no one else is having kids!" Harry said shouting.
"Harry, please, don't shout." Dumbledore said, eyes locked on Harry's. "I can not allow it, it would be favoritism, and no one would like that–"
"That's not true!" Harry said agitated. Why wouldn't Dumbledore just let them have their room? It was all they wanted, it wasn't like they were going to have any more children. "Most of the students accept it! They know that we're getting our own room. And you know what? They don't care!" Harry was so mad he was ready to pull out his wand and start throwing all of the hexes he knew.
"Harry, understand–"
"No! You understand you old fraud! I know what you did to Hermione! You put some potion into Hermione's drink when she wasn't looking! You got her lusting over me! You made me get her pregnant! You're making us parents at fourteen fucking years old!" Harry yelled, things started to shatter since he was so mad.
"Harry, love, please stop." Hermione said trying to calm Harry down. She was failing miserably because objects in the headmaster's office were still shattering.
"Mister Potter, I demand that you clam down this instant." Dumbledore said losing his patience.
"Hermione, ask Professor McGonagall when the rooms will be done." Harry said calming down a bit, he was still pissed at the headmaster, objects still flying and shattering, but he calmed down a little.
"Potter, you may leave,'' Dumbledore said gesturing to the door, "oh, and you've detention and 30 points off of Gryffindor for destroying objects in my office."
"Whatever," Harry mumbled.
End Flashback...
"Harry," Hermione snapped her fingers in front ofhis face. Harry was thinking about his future, he was thinking perhaps being a professional Quidditch player, and than there was of course, Hermione and his children.
"Harry!" Hermione said slapping him slightly on the cheek.
"Wha– oh I'm sorry Mione, I was thinking," Harry said.
"Well, snap out of it! I think my water just broke!" Hermione said losing her temper.
"Oh, fix it," Harry said not knowing why Hermione had to tell him that 'her water broke.'
"No you baboon! The babies are coming!" Hermione said. Harry jumped to his feet and check his watch. He saw that it was almost 10:30 P.M.
"Oh! Let's get to the hospital wing!" Harry said taking Hermione's hand. They were heading there when Hermione gave a slight scream. Harry looked alarmed, but she said they were just contractions. Once they got their they saw Madam Pomfrey.
"MADAM POMFREY!" Harry shouted.
"Potter? What have you done this time? Broken bones? Broken nose? Missing any bones?" Pomfrey said.
"No! The babies are coming!" Harry said. To prove his point Hermione screamed again.
"Oh my, come here Miss Granger." Poppy instructed. She lead Hermione on to a bed, where she lay down. She went into her office to get the things for the babies births.
"This is all your fault Potter!" Hermione shouted. The babies were coming very soon.
"What?" Harry said confused. Hermione screamed again.
Madam Pomfrey came back with a few potions and scissors. "Miss Granger, drink this. It will numb some of the pain." She handed Hermione the potion, and Hermione drank it great-fully.
"Oh, it seems that the twins are coming soon. You'll be able to push soon." Pomfrey said. Harry was sitting by Hermione's bedside and holding her hand. A few minutes passed by and Madam Pomfrey said she was ready to push.
"Ok, give me a great push on the count of three," Poppy instructed. "One, two, three."
Hermione screamed when she pushed, she gripped Harry's hand so tightly that he thought it might go numb.
"I see the head! Another one Miss Granger," Poppy said. Yet again Hermione screamed, this time even louder. Harry was almost certain that someone had heard the screaming.
"Harry, I hate you!" Hermione screamed while pushing.
"I love you too," Harry said smiling.
"Ok, one more push and the first baby will be out!" Poppy said.
Hermione gave one more agonizing scream, but it was quickly silenced by another scream.
"Congratulations," Poppy said, "Baby boy Potter is here at last," she said as she cleaned up James. She came back after a few minutes handing Harry the beautiful baby.
He was sleeping soundly in his father's arms. He looked so much like Harry, the same unruly jet black hair, the same facial features, Harry was even almost positive that he had emerald green eyes just like him.
"Perfect," Harry said simply. Hermione screamed yet again, this time not as loud. The baby started crying as well.
"Well, I see that your daughter wants to make an entrance now." Poppy said. Harry was trying to calm James down, but it was no use. As long as Hermione kept screaming, James kept crying.
"Ok Miss Granger, you know what to do." Poppy said. Hermione started to push and scream. After a few minutes Madam Pomfrey shouted, "I see the head!" Harry looked at Hermione with astonishment, how she could handle this, he did not know.
"Potter! Are you just going to sit there or are you going to be a man and hold my hand?" Hermione said. Harry looked confused, but held her hand, while trying to hold James in the other. About ten minutes of screaming, another cry was heard. This time from their daughter.
"Congratulations, you are now the proud parents of a healthy baby boy and girl. Let me just get her cleaned up," she said while getting up and cleaning up little Lily.
"Wow," was all Harry could say. Hermione sighed in content.
"Finally," Hermione said receiving Lily, she was an image of Hermione, she had slightly curly brown hair, beautiful features, she opened her eyes and saw two emerald orbs gazing upon her mother. Hermione smiled and kissed her daughter's forehead.
"How does she look?" Harry asked Hermione, she smiled and motioned for him to join her on the bed. Harry looked at his daughter and saw a little Hermione looking at him. She was just like her, except the eyes. "Beautiful, she looks just like her mother." Harry said admiring his daughter.
"How's our other little baby?" Hermione asked looking at James, "a little Harry I see," she said smiling. "He's like you in every way, he's got the same little mop of hair, same features, oh and look, even the same eyes," Hermione said looking at her son lovingly.
"Yeah, we've our own little Harry and Hermione, only the names are different." Harry commented. Madam Pomfrey came back with a few potions and two pieces of paper.
"Here Miss Granger," She said giving Hermione a potion, "you will need your rest. You'll be here for a few days, the babies will be here too."
"But I've classes!" Hermione said.
"You've just given birth, I think your professors will let you miss class for a few days," She said impatiently.
Hermione sighed but nodded. She handed Lily to Madam Pomfrey, who conjured a little crib for James and Lily, and put them in there.
"Drink it up, you need your rest." She said, Hermione drank the potion and almost instantly went to sleep.
"Oh, what are you naming your children?" Madam Pomfrey asked Harry.
"Lillian Harmony Potter, and James Harry Potter," Harry said at once. Madam Pomfrey started to write elegantly on the paper and five minutes later she finished.
"Here are your children's birth certificates," She said handing Harry the papers, they read:

Harry smiled and looked at James' birth certificate.

Weight - length: 7 lb, 20.5 in.

"Thanks," Harry said sincerely. He went over to his two children and looked at them lovingly, "perfect," was all he said before walking over to Hermione.
"Goodnight love," Harry said kissing his sleeping girlfriend, he proceeded once again to his children and kissed their foreheads before walking back to the Gryffindor tower.
While walking there he saw students walking about the halls. He thought it was strange since it was nearing midnight, so he decided to investigate. There he saw Ginny and Ron walking behind the stairs.
"She gave birth tonight," Ginny said.
"What do we do now?" Ron asked.
"I don't know. Wait, I do, I'm getting Harry. He deserves a better woman, he doesn't need that stupid mudblood. He needs a woman." Ginny said.
"Don't call her a mudblood, she's very sexy, well not now since she gained like 30 lbs for Potter's stupid kids." Ron said darkly. Ginny chuckled.
"I'm going to get Harry, no matter what. You just watch," Ginny said.
"Just don't do anything to his kids, he'll blow you up, literally," Ron said remembering what Harry had done just last year.
Those fifthly bastards! Harry thought. He ran up to the Gryffindor tower and went up to his dorm. He took off his clothes and put on his pajamas. He quietly went to bed where a well deserved sleep was waiting him.

Harry was getting ready to go downstairs for breakfast when he saw Ron. He ignored him and went out to the Great Hall. When he entered everyone went silent. Harry looked at everyone, and than sat down.
"Oh my god! Is it true?" A third year asked as soon as he sat down, "is it true that you're a dad now?"
"Er, yeah." Harry said trying to avoid the subject. He had no idea that the word spread so fast, but than he remembered last night, Ginny and Ron, plus Hermione's screaming might've had something to do with it too.
"Harry congrats!" Lavender Brown said.
"Thanks," Harry said trying to ignore everyone, they all wanted to know what they looked like, if they were loud, who was born first, etc.
Dumbledore saw that Harry was being hounded with questions, so he took this opportunity to make Harry even more embarrassed. He stood up from the staff table, "Yes, yes children. I'm all too aware that Mister Potter and Miss Granger here have just been blessed with parenthood. But that does not give the right to agonize the poor boy with questions, he is, after all, only fourteen," Dumbledore said emphasizing the words, 'parenthood', 'boy', and 'fourteen'. "That is all, you may go back to what you were doing." He said as he sat back down, eyes twinkling away.
What the hell what that for?! I don't need anymore attention than I already have, Harry thought. He left his untouched breakfast and went to the Hospital wing to check up on Hermione and the babies.
"How are they?" Harry asked Hermione, she woke up not to long ago.
"Perfect little angels," Hermione said.
"Dumbledore announced that we're parents," Harry said, Hermione gasped.
"What? Why! No, no, it will be in the Prophet soon!" Hermione said outraged. "Wait, how did he know?"
"Word spreads fast, I was being asked questions about James and Lily as soon as I entered the Great Hall," Harry said, "and I really don't hope this is in the Prophet."
"Hello, Harry, Granger," Draco said.
"Hey Draco. I guess you heard about the kids," Harry said. Draco nodded and went to the two cribs.
"Looks just like you two. Couldn't you two be more creative?" Draco said smirking.
"What do you mean, creative?" Hermione asked confused.
"I mean, they look just like you guys. You could've mixed it up. But I guess not, whatever, not my kids," Draco said.
"I think they're perfect," Harry and Hermione said.
"Of course you do, you're their parents. Not that I'm complaining they aren't that bad for two day old babies," Draco said.
"So, why are you here?" Harry asked.
"I wanted to see Madam Pomfrey, I've got a date with her today. Why do you think I'm here Granger?" Draco said sarcastically.
"Oh, the babies," Hermione said embarrassed.
"Yes," Draco said simply.
"Well, let's head out. We've DADA in 5min," Harry said slinging his backpack over his shoulder, Draco did the same.
"See you after class Hermione," Harry said kissing her forehead. "You two kiddos," Harry said kissing his children's foreheads.

"Potter, Malfoy. You're 5min late, get to your seats." Moody growled, there was only once table left, Ron was sitting with Dean, Seamus with Lavender, Neville with Parvati, so Harry and Draco had to sit next to each other.
"Today we'll be dueling each other," Moody said. "We'll have a few students from Drumstrang assist some of us that, need, help," Moody said looking at Neville. "You will only be able to use Stupefy and Imperio" Moody looked around. He saw the expressions on their faces. "I know it is illegal, but you need to be prepared, you lot certainly weren't last time. SO NOW YOU WILL BE!" Moody shouted the last few words.
"Great," Harry and Draco muttered.
"Get together with your partners; Brown with Patil, Finnigan with Thomas, Potter and Malfoy," He said announcing the pairs. Harry and Draco groaned.
"We're always paired together," Draco said walking up to their assigned Drumstrang student.
"Yeah, they must really thing we hate each other that much," Harry said. He noticed who the Drumstrang student was at once, Victor Krum, the man that wanted to talk about Hermione.
Dammit, Harry thought. This is going to be a long day.
"Harry Potter," Krum said bitterly, "And Draco Malfoy," He said with much more politeness. He started to explain what spells they could use and couldn't, Harry had a few questions but Krum just ignored him.
"Um, what are you going to do?" Draco asked, it was the same exact question that Harry did.
"Oh, vhy I will be supervising the whole duel." Krum said.
"POTTER! MALFOY!" Moody roared, the class quieted instantly to listen, as if he was going to yell at the two of them. "You two will start the duel," He growled, "go on!"
Harry and Draco rolled their eyes, but when on to the platform. Their they bowed to each other and went to opposite ends.
"On the count of three...one...two...three!" Moody shouted.
"Stupefy!" Harry shouted.
"Protego!" Draco should back. "Imperio!" Draco shouted again, the spell hit Harry straight in the chest.
"Dammit," Harry muttered, he wasn't willing to throw off the whole curse, so he just went along with whatever Draco said.
Speak Parstletounge...
Harry thought, Wow this is easy. "You know, this is very boring once you've over come it." Harry spoke in parstletounge.
"POTTER! FIGHT IT!" Moody roared.
Harry rolled his eyes and waited for his next 'command'.
Say you love Ronald Weasley...
Harry looked bewildered at Draco, he was really asking too much now.
"You're kidding, right?" Harry said smirking.
Say. You. Love. Ronald. Weasley.
"Can we get on with this?" Harry asked starting to get bored. No later than two seconds later did he strike Draco with a 'Stupefy', Draco didn't suspect it so he froze on the spot.
"GOOD POTTER!" Moody yelled once he unfroze Draco. Krum walked out of the classroom with a scowl. "SEE? HE CAUGHT HIM WHEN HE LEAST EXPECTED IT!" He shouted, "Class dismissed, REMEMBER CONSTANT VIGILANCE!"

"Mister Potter," McGonagall said walking up to him. Harry had just finished the days classes and was heading off to see Hermione and his children, "do you have the time? I have to see you in my office, it's regarding the rooms."
Harry nodded, "sure, I was just going to see Hermione, James, and Lily-" Harry started but was cut off by McGonagall talking.
"-oh! They were born already? Many Congratulations, I'm sorry, I didn't recieve the word. I was at a very important meeting." McGonagall said. "Anyways, continue,"
"Yeah, they were born yesterday," Harry said smiling. "So um, what about the rooms?" Harry said as he sat in McGonagall's office. She offered him a biscuit, but he politly said no.
"Yes, about the rooms. They will be an extension to the Gryffindor common room." She started, she saw the look of slight confusion on his face, she smiled. "No, you will not sleep in the common room," she said, Harry visibly relaxed. "You will be getting, almost, your own common room. It will have a door leading to your rooms, you will have a password, you choose what they are, and only you two can see them, the babies too of course, but they don't know a lot right now." She said slightly smiling. She really was happy for the two of them, and wanted to help them in anyway that Dumbledore couldn't.
"Wow, Ok, cool. Thanks for letting us know." Harry said. "I think she should be out around Halloween or so, not to sure though."
"Yes, well. You better get going now, I persume Miss Granger and the two new Potter's will be awaiting you," She said. "Good day, Harry" She said as Harry got up and headed towards the door.
"Bye," He said as he left.

"Hey Hermione," Harry said putting a pile of books on her hospital bed-side table, "I've brought you your homework. I thought you might want it." He said, he kissed her gently and than kissed Lily, who was currently sleeping in her mother's arms.
"Hey Harry," Hermione said smiling, she handed Lily to Harry and went to the crib to get James.
"Hey Lil," Harry said gently. Lily woke up when she was being transferred from Hermione to Harry. She was looking at Harry, "daddy's here."
"So is mommy!" Hermione said teasing, "come here," she said motioning to Harry, he got up from his seat and sat in bed next to Hermione.
"Hard to imagine," Harry said gazing at his children, "parents, and at only fourteen too," Harry said looking at Hermione. "I never, ever, thought that I would have a child when I'm just one myself."
"Oh Harry," Hermione started, "I know its hard to believe, but its life, things are going to happen. I just want you to know, I'll be right here with you." She said sincerely. Harry just smiled and kissed her.
"Oh, McGonagall said that we'll have our rooms in a few days," Harry said.
"Nice, I can't wait to get out," Hermione said. "I don't know how you spent so much time here."
Harry grinned and said, "It's not all that bad, at least you didn't have your bones re-grown."
"True," Hermione said.
They sat in peace for a few minutes, in peace, no noise, no one asking silly questions. Just peace. After a few more minutes Harry got up and put a sleeping Lily in her pink crib.
"I'm going to sleep love," Harry said, "I'll see you tomorrow," he kissed her and lingered a few moments before pulling back.
"Good night," Hermione said smiling.
