Once I finally got Draco and Snobby off the carousel (the attendant enjoyed watching them so much he never bothered to stop the ride and I had to practically beg for him to stop it) we decided it was time for lunch.

"I want chocolate!" Snobby's now croaking voice squeaked out. Draco rolled his eyes.

"Don't worry, Snobby, we'll get you some chocolate after we eat some real food," I say.

"Real food?" Snobby asks.

"Yeah like—" I start to give an example but am interrupted by Draco.

"CHICKEN!" He screams. Then he runs over with money practically flying into the air. He slams some coins on the counter and says "three please." Then he looks at Snobby and changes his answer. "Actually, make that four." He comes back over to us and then realizes, "crap. I forgot a drink! Butterbeer work Mione?" He looks at Snobby and whispers to me,"I don't think he needs anything stronger." At that exact moment Snobby had seemingly decided the time was ripe for a song about chicken. It went:

"I love chicken

Especially with rice.

I love chicken

It's really very nice.

I love chicken

But I don't like the bone.

I love chicken

Say would you like a scone?

I love chicken

But chocolate is the best!

I love chicken

But chocolate is the test.

Chicken is yummy

But chocolate is yummier.

Chicken is yummy

But chocolate is better in my tummey...er

Oooooohhhhhhhhhh

I love chicken

Chicken is great

C h i c k e n

Who do we appreciate!?"

I giggled as Snobby finished by handing me my portion of chicken. Draco rolled his eyes but you could tell he was laughing deep deep down.

"Draco?" I asked, remembering something.

"Hm?"

"How much did the chicken cost?" I ask tentatively.

"Oh... not much." He sees to look on my face. "Oh no Hermione don't be like that it's a date let me buy you some food. Good food. Actually, this chicken is the best. As a child, mother and father always took me here. They always got me this chicken. It's the best chicken. Even better then the chicken at Hogwarts. Or at least, the next best thing." His eyes glaze over in reminiscence. "Crap." He says suddenly. "Butterbeer!" Then he races off again.

"Come back,"I halfheartedly shout after him. My arms are outstretched and they fall slowly back to my sides.

"You know," Snobby says in an exhausted voice, "Draco Malfoy isn't really so bad after all.

Hours later we return home. "They were really quite excellent today," Ginny says to me. "Really fun and well behaved." She hands me a sleeping Saros, keeping Estella- Rose for herself. "You know, you really should spend more time with them now. They grow up so fast." She says wistfully.

"How old are yours?" I ask.

"Well," she says thinking hard, "our oldest, James, is two and obviously Albus is still pretty little just like Estella- Rose and Saros here."

"I still can't believe I never knew..."I say quietly, mostly to myself. Right then Draco and Snobby race in.

"Bedtime!" Draco shouts. Then,"whoops," as he notices the sleeping babies. "Sorry." Then he and Snobby tip toe quickly out of the room. Ginny rolls her eyes.

"I still don't quite get it," she says to me. "Sometimes I think I do but then he immediately proves me wrong."

"Oh Gin," I say laughing. "Always looking out for me." I give her a quick hug then say,"well I guess I should be going off to bed now. Night."

"Night." I grab the kids gently, one in each arm and bring them upstairs. When I get to their beds I tuck them in quickly and quietly. Then, I turn to my own bed. I see Draco, still in his day clothes, cuddling Snobby in the bed. To my delight, what I don't see, is that wretches apple. Too tired to change I hop in as well and feel Snobby wrap his arms around me. It feels nice to have a family. Especially one that loves you. That thought makes me feel a little lonely inside. "Don't worry, Mione," I whisper to myself, "you'll have your parents back soon."

A/n

what were your thoughts on the chicken song? What tune did you sing it to?

I know some readers thought it was stupid that I had Ginny have kids as well, but hopefully the importance will soon be becoming more obvious.

I need some ideas on what to do next. I thought I should be done with the amusement park, but I don't think they're quite ready for Australia yet. What do you want to see?

Oh lastly, Im going to try to update at least once a week but hopefully a lot more as long as the ideas keep coming.
