Chapter 113

December 18th, 2002

Milan, Italy

Harry rested silently in the end airplane seat with his wife sleeping on his shoulder and daughters Rossi and Natalie squeezed in with him as the youngest of their kids Madeline and Kathryn sat with Fleur and their oldest daughter Elena sat in the third seat on her own

It was definitely crowded here.

But everyone had been able to get a good amount of sleep during the plane ride as they were currently descending into the Milanese Airport.

Hearing the captain getting on the loudspeakers Harry gently shook his wife away.

"Time to get ready to go" He whispered "The planes arriving soon".

Fleur nodded and turned to wake Elena up.

Harry turned to do the same with the other kids.

And now they had a problem.

How to get a Stroller, Their stuff, and 5 Kids off the plane.

Eventually, though after getting the stroller out of their overhead compartment and getting the kids into it Harry led the way with Fleur following holding onto Elena and Natalie.

After much tense movement and a lot of waiting the family were able to get checked in and find the cab that would take all of them to their hotel.

The hours were way too long though.

But before they knew it they had gotten to and checked in at the hotel and took their stuff upstairs where they wasted no time unpacking once arriving.

Harry and Fleur just wanted to get to bed before they had a long day walking around Milan tomorrow and visiting the iconic Sforza Castle.

But their kids on the other hand after being cooped up on the plane ride for several hours had a different idea on what they wanted to do though and sleeping was not one of them.

Well for the older kids at the very least.

Elena and Natalie were chasing each other.

Getting up off the bed Harry sighed.

"Natalie, Elena break it up you too" He barked "You need to be going to bed we've got a long day tomorrow".

His two daughters stopped what they were doing and looked at Harry with their puppy dog eyes that they all seemed to be developing to try and get themselves out of trouble.

And they were damn good at it as well.

But Harry was a Senator and he would not give into a 6 and 3-year-old.

"Bed now" He repeated.

Pouting they did as they were told.

Sighing, Harry went around and helped make sure the kids were all tucked into their respective sleeping spots and helping Fleur with putting all their diapers on before going to bed.

By Merlin, he swore the sooner all their daughters were potty-trained the better.

Time Pass

The next day Harry and his family left the hotel and started on their way to downtown Milan.

He was amused to see the girls yawning.

Turns out they were more exhausted than they had first let on.

Getting into the Taxi Cab they soon arrived at the Sforza Castle.

Once they arrived at a place to visit though Harry found out how quickly kids could change from being tired to becoming a full bucket of energy.

He had to prevent Natalie and Elena from several times running away once they entered the palace and made sure they stayed with the family.

Those two really liked being around each other.

Harry was glad his kids were getting along so well with each other but when they were in a public place it was important for them to behave.

But all of the kids seemed very interested in looking at the surroundings they passed.

Natalie seemed very interested in looking at one of the monarchical statues.

Even the little kids in the stroller seemed to be taking some sort of an interest in looking at all of the items they were passing.

"I wonder if this means they will be interested in history later on" Fleur whispered to Harry as they walked.

"I hope so," Harry replied.

Soon they entered the Museum of Musical Instruments and started looking around.

As Harry was looking at a 15th Century Bassoon with Natalie by his side he heard Elena.

"Daddy, Daddy" She called out "Come look".

Walking over with Natalie he looked at a flute on the wall.

"Yeah that's a flute," He said, "It's just like the one we got for you at home".

"But it looks so different,"Elena asked looking at the wall.

"Yes it is princess" Harry chuckled ruffling her blonde hair "Let's move on".

Heading back to join the rest of the family they moved on to go see the Egyptian Museum.

That was an interesting part of the palace to see, to say the least.

Harry wasn't quite sure how much the kids were understanding about what they saw but he thought they all seemed very engaged.

Natalie tried her best once they got to a station about Ancient Egyptian Writing to write.

Harry and Fleur found it hilarious to see their little three year old trying to write.

Not to be upstaged though, her bigger sister Elena ran up to the station to try her hand at the project as well.

Laughing Fleur let the kids out of the stroller so that they could go and have fun with their sisters.

Harry and Fleur found a bench that they could sit down at while they watched the girls play.

"Aren't they so cute" Fleur whispered.

"Yeah" Harry chuckled "It figured that we bring them to Milan and they find the coloring stations to be the most interesting".

"That's fine" Fleur whispered, smiling as they watched Elena help out her younger sister Rossi on one of the coloring places.

"Hey Madeline we don't go through doors were not supposed too," Fleur said going to go after their rambunxious child.

Sitting at the bench Harry watched the rest of his kids played together.

This was nice

Even if the kids didn't get a lot out of this trip he enjoyed the scenery and spending time with his family.

Once he got back to work he wasn't sure when he would be able to do something like this again.

He wanted to try and go out with the whole family as much as he could though.

Oh well.

Harry stood up and started heading towards the kids.

Time to go to the next place.

Author Note Harry and Fleur are not rich and thus there has to be a way they support each other. Not everyone will like it when I write Senator Harry scenes but he needs a job and this is a different occupation than what Harry typically does in other stories. But I will try and do Harry/Fleur/Family Scenes

Cheers
