Chapter One; The Invitation
A lot had happened to Lilly and Lucy Potter since they had started their first year at Hogwarts. They went home on their Christmas and Easter holiday breaks to see their mother perform with their aunt and all the rest of their friends, as The Cheetah Girls to perform a couple of concerts with The Dragons. They both learned a bunch more magic and passed their exams. At the end of the year Gryffindor won the house cup and before they knew it their first year at Hogwarts was over.
They were going home for summer and they wouldn't be allowed to do anymore magic until they returned to the castle on September 1st at the end of the year. They said goodbye to their friends after they got off the train and their parents were there to meet them at King's Cross. Lucy was surprised how much she realized she would miss Hogwarts.
For unlike her parents she didn't have an easy first year. A lot of the other students (including her own sister) thought she was a bad witch just because she was sorted into Slytherin. She later found out from her aunt Hermione that she shared the same wand as Mort. Mort was Voldemort's evil son who had tried to kill her and her twin sister along with their father, the legendary Harry Potter.
How the eleven year old twin witches were even able to destroy him in the first place was a mystery to almost everyone. After all, both Lilly and Lucy Potter hadn't always known that they were witches or that there was a prophecy about them saying that they would destroy the last piece of Voldemort once and for all.
Although they both ended up having a great year at Hogwarts in the end, they were excited to be going back home to Godric's Hollow which was something that Harry (who lived with the Dursleys) could never look forward to growing up. Harry (having his driver's license) drove the family back home and parked in the driveway. Lilly and Lucy gathered up their things before heading towards the front door.
"Well don't get me wrong, I love the fact that we're home, but it sucks that we're not allowed to do magic." Lucy said.
"Yeah, it sure would help if we could practice during the holidays." Lilly said.
"Maybe we can,.." Lucy began as she suddenly got an idea. "After all, the rule is only there for witches and wizards who live with muggle families." She said.
"Nice try, but no underage witch or wizard can do magic outside school until they turn seventeen. Just because the trace can't detect you doesn't mean that it's right." Ginny told her.
"Yeah, but what is the worst that could happen?" Lucy wondered as they went inside the house.
"That you'll be grounded for a month without television." Harry told her.
"Good point." She said as Ginger the dog jumped up on her as she came inside.
"Ginger, down!" Harry instructed before taking ahold of her collar and pulling her back down onto the floor.
"Alright girls, now that we're home there's something that I need to talk to you about." Ginny began before she looked at her other children. "The rest of you upstairs, go on, run along and play." She told them.
"Yes Mum." James (who would be entering into his first year at Hogwarts next year) said as he took Brian (who Harry and Ginny were almost a hundred percent sure was a squib) and Molly (who had another several years before she would be going to Hogwarts) and rushed upstairs.
"So what do you need to talk to us about?" Lilly questioned as Harry quickly glanced over at Harry.
"Well girls, now that you're twelve years old, you're turning into a couple of young ladies now." She began. "Which means that your body is going to go through certain changes at some point." She told them.
"Do you mean that our boobs will get bigger?" Lucy asked as Harry tried to hide his grin from her.
"Well, yes, but it'll also be going through some other changes." Ginny began.
"Like what?" Lilly asked her as Harry decided that he better leave the room while he still could. He just thanked his lucky stars that he was born a boy. He couldn't imagine what would happen if the Dursleys had to explain about periods to him. He ventured back outside and went to go visit the statue of him and his parents holding him when he had been a baby.
They didn't know it, but even with the prophecy his daughters along with the rest of his children were lucky that they knew what it was like to have parents, and to be happy that they had a home and a family that they could look forward coming home to. That's when all of a sudden something inside the distance caught his eye.
It was his niece Sheela Weasley talking to another wizard with ginger hair. That's when all of a sudden he saw them wrapping their arms around each other and starting to kiss. Harry was surprised, he hadn't known that Sheela had a boyfriend, and he was ninety percent sure that Ron didn't know either. That's when all of a sudden Tilly swooped down out of the sky and flew over Harry's head and dropped an envelope inside the palm of his hands. Harry tore it open and realized that it was written inside Hermione's handwriting.
Dear Harry,
I just thought that I should let you know that you and the rest of your family is invited to Richie's eleventh birthday pool party on July 1st. Please send an owl back in response by June 28th, at the very latest.
Love, Hermione
Harry turned to walk back towards the house since he was getting rather hot. Once he got back inside he found his wife watching a wizarding talk show (Jenny's Juicy Rumors) and the dishes washing themselves inside the kitchen sink. "What happened to Lilly and Lucy?" he wondered.
"They're upstairs sulking that there's no magic allowed and at some point they're going to have painful cramps while bleeding from their rear ends." She explained.
"Oh." Harry began suddenly feeling sorry that he had asked. "Well anyway, we got an invitation from Hermione inviting us to Richie's birthday party." He began before he gave her the letter. "I can't believe he's going to be getting his first Hogwarts letter this year." He said.
"I know, so is Myrtle. I wonder what houses they'll be in." she said. "Probably Ravenclaw and Gryffindor just like the rest of their family. Although as we have seen with Lucy, sometimes there are exceptions." She said.
"Yeah, speaking of families, did you know that Sheela had a boyfriend?" Harry questioned her.
"Yeah of course, they were practically making out all of last year." She said as a moment of silence passed between them. "Didn't you know?" she asked him a moment later.
"No." Harry answered with a simple shake of his head. "And I have a feeling that neither did your brother. Otherwise he probably would have gone mental about somebody being interested in his daughter." He said.
"That's true, but Jeremy's a really nice wizard. He's in Gryffindor too and I'm sure Ron would really like him if he gave him a chance." Ginny told him.
"It wouldn't matter," Harry began again with another shake of his head. "remember how he acted when I first started dating you? I think that in his mind any boy interested in his daughter ought to be treated like a criminal." He said.
