Chapter 282 - Chapter 11: The Park

Harry rubbed his temples as he looked over some documents; he'd just finished Quidditch training and was reading some papers Blaise had sent. In the background the twins were playing some game that consisted of them trying to climb every piece of furniture without touching the floor. So far Truth was winning. Isabella and Sirius were arguing over some pointless thing again and the stereo was blaring Green Day. Harry gritted his teeth in frustration and was tempted to shout but was too tired, besides the twins had only just gotten over their illness. Isabella seemed to have noted his frustration so turned off the stereo ending the girls' game.

"AUNT IZZIE!" they whined together, Isabella ignored them and simply turned to Harry.

"You need to get out, take the girls to the park, NOW!" She added as Harry opened his mouth to protest.

"FINE! Girls get your coats." The two grinned, jumping off the table and running into their room. "Happy?" Harry asked standing up and glaring at the Italian women.

"Yes." Isabella smiled happily, but then went serious. "I know your meeting with Blaise didn't go…well…but you need to get back into life, the twins may not be with you if it doesn't go to plan, you need to spend time with them." Harry knew Isabella was right, she was always right, but it still didn't make him feel any more relaxed. The twins reappeared grinning.

"Come on Daddy!" Truth and Hope grabbed hold of each of his hands and pulled him out of the suite.

"HAVE FUN!" Sirius called.

The twins had dragged Harry to a small muggle park were they stoped to play on a swing set while Harry looked around at the happy families walking around and playing with their children. Harry sighed and looked back at the twins, who were stuffing ants down a little girl's dress, who ran around screaming while the two just laughed. Harry rolled his eyes and quickly dragged the two away. They walked around for a while before the two girls spotted an ice-cream truck and dragged Harry over.

"MR DRACO!" Harry looked over to where Hope pointed to, sure enough, Draco Malfoy.

"Hello girls, Harry." Harry smiled politely.

"Draco." Truth and Hope glanced at each other; a little disappointed the two didn't seem rather happy to see one another.

"Do you wonna come with us Mr Draco? We're walking around!" Truth smiled. Draco smiled down at the two and was about to answer but the two had already started to drag him along so he had no choice but to follow. Harry sighed, quickly paid for the ice-creams and followed the three. The two were talking to an interested Draco at the bridge.

"Here you go girls." The two grinned and took the melting cones from their dad.

"Thanks Daddy!" Harry lent against the bridge railings next to Draco.

"How are you?" Draco asked. Harry looked up.

"I'm fine." He lied. "You?"

"Same here." Harry pushed off the railing and watched as the girls throw rocks into the water, aiming deliberately at ducks.

"What are you doing here, I thought you hated muggles." Harry tilted his head in, what Draco always thought as, an adorable way.

"I come here now and then; it reminds me of…stuff…" Draco shrugged. 'It reminds me of when you were here!' Draco added silently.

"Oh…" Harry looked back at the girls to see Truth push some little boy into the murky water.

"Ooops!" Truth grinned, while Hope laughed behind her back.

"Truth!" Harry groaned. Draco smirked. Harry and Draco walked over to the two. "Truth, why did you push him in the water?" Harry asked, scared of the answer.

"He said I looked pretty!" Truth pouted. Harry rolled his eyes and picked her up.

"Truth Lillian Potter, you can't go around pushing people into water because they say you're pretty." Truth rolled her eyes.

"He tried to hold my hand as well!" Truth argued. Harry sighed. "He was a jerk!"

"He was five!"

"So!" Draco and Hope snickered behind their backs.

"Truth…" Harry sighed. The mother of the boy looked hysterical so Harry ushered the twins away. Draco grinned at the two.

"You both defiantly have a knack for trouble." The two grinned, not knowing what 'knack' meant. Harry sighed and set Truth down next to her sister.

"Please promise me you two won't cause any trouble for the rest of the day." The twins crossed their fingers behind their backs and nodded.

"Promise Daddy." They chorused. Draco smirked seeing the crossed fingers. When Harry turned around he lent down and whispered.

"Very original." The girls grinned.

"Are you three coming?" Harry called. The three caught up with Harry who took them to a small café. The four sat at a table and talked. Draco remembered the old times when he and Harry were still together. After they finished lunch Harry and Draco carried one twin each back to the pent house. As they finally reached the Motel they found the two were fast asleep, well at least they thought they were, they took them into their bedroom and Harry walked Draco to the door.

"Thanks for lunch." Draco smiled. Harry smiled shyly back.

"It's ok."

"Are you doing anything tomorrow?" Draco prayed for a 'no'.

"I have practise at five, but after that I'm free."

"Wonna have dinner? As friends." Draco added.

"Sure." Harry smiled.

"Great, I'll see you at…six?"

"Sounds great." Draco smiled charmingly before leaving before he saw Harry's blush.

"Daddy has a crush!" Harry spun around to face the two wide awake twins.

"Girls!"
