Chapter 1 Princess
"JAMES NO!" Ginny shouted at her one year old son and her eldest as he reached with a mischievous smile for his Grandfathers glasses while Albus who was only a few months old slept peacefully in Harry's arms, god knows how though because St Mungos waiting room was not known to be the quietist place in the world especially now with the entire family including Teddy and Andromeda in it.
"How much longer?" 8 year old Teddy moaned and Victoria who was a year younger than him said.
"Yeah daddy can me and Teddy go and play"
"No Victoria you have to stay here" Bill said making his daughter frown. The seven and eight year old looked around together trying to find something to do that's when they saw Percy like Albus fast asleep slumped on one of the chairs in the waiting room.
"Come on" Teddy said quietly and ducking down the two children crawled under the row of seats until they were directly underneath Percy.
"One" Teddy said.
"Two" Victoria replied and then together.
"Three" they both hit the top of the chair as hard as they could causing Percy to wake up as he fell to the ground.
"Victoria, Teddy" Molly exclaimed furiously everyone else had got a shock as well when Percy had falling of the chair in the confusion Albus had woken up and was crying loudly Harry desperately trying to quiet him.
"UNCLE RON!" James shouted jumping up and down on Arthur's lap that made everyone turn and silence washed over the group.
"It's...it's..." Ron stammered.
"Spit it out!" George shouted impatiently.
"IT'S A GIRL!" Ron exclaimed the whole family cheered and patted Ron on the back.
"Oh Hermione she's beautiful" it was a few minutes later and Molly was holding her new granddaughter. The little girl was looking around at all the different people squeezed into the room.
"Have you got a name yet" Fleur said eagerly.
"Yes, Rose Nymphadora Weasley" Ron said proudly taking Rose back from Molly. Rose gurgled up at him as he went to tickle her but she grabbed his finger instead.
"Ok stop hogging her mate" Harry said taking Rose which Ron barely registered and when he did Harry was showing Rose to Albus.
"So this is what you and Harry were up to all morning" Hermione said she and Rose had been released from St Mungos only an hour ago and Ron had drove them both back to the small cottage they owned just outside of Godrics Hollow before that though Ron and Harry had disappeared and Ginny refused to tell Hermione why.
"Do you like it?" Ron asked uncertainly.
"I love it Ron" The room was painted in pale pink with small white flowers making swirled patterns on the wall the carpet was a slightly darker pink the crib in the corner was white but the four corner posts went further up and a see through white material rested on the posts making a curtain around the crib, the rest of the furniture in the room consisted of a wardrobe, a rocking chair and a small bookshelf all painted white.
"Do you like it Rosie" Ron said to his little girl she smiled at him and waved her arms.
"DADDY!" Ron was jumped on excitedly by a two year old Rose as soon as he stepped out of the fire.
"Hello Princess" he bent down and picked her up.
"Daddy when's the baby going to get here" Rose asked innocently Ron looked at her ever since they had told Rose she was going to have a baby brother or sister she kept asking questions Harry and George swore they will be telling their great grandchildren the story of when in the middle of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes Rose had shouted from across the room.
"DADDY WHERE DO BABIES COME FROM!" causing Ron to go pale and have to sit down especially as all the people inside the shop had turned to look at him.
"Not for another few weeks sweetheart why didn't you ask mummy though" Hermione came in at that point as Rose said.
"Mummy was very grumpy and wouldn't tell me" Ron understood where Rose was coming from Hermione's pregnancy mood swings were torture luckily it was only a month before the new baby was born.
"Rose I'm sorry" Hermione said and by the looks of it she was close to tears.
"That's ok mummy" Rose said wriggling out of Ron's arms to hug Hermione.
"Hey why don't you go and get a cookie from the kitchen" Hermione suggested Rose grinned and sprinted out of the room.
"You ok?" Ron said leaning forward to kiss his wife.
"Yes I'm fine you worry too much and could your brothers please stop taking it in turn to check on me" Ron grimaced at her angry face the reason he was so worried was that earlier on in the pregnancy Hermione had nearly miscarriage Ron had managed to get a lot of time off and only worked 3 days a week now but his brothers had agreed to check up on Hermione whenever they could.
"Hermione I worry about you and our new Quidditch player...who was it today by the way" Ron said innocently patting her stomach.
"Percy Rose made him play tea party it was quite funny" Ron could imagine it was his too serious older brother being ordered round by a two year old.
"ACCHHHH!" A scream pierced the air Ron immediately pulled out his wand and dashed into the kitchen Hermione hobbling in behind him.
"Rose, Rose where are you" Ron said frantically the cookie tin was smashed on the ground and as he looked closer he saw a huge spider crawl out from the wreckage.
"H...Hermione" Ron said in a quavering voice Hermione pushed past him and pointing her wand at the spider levitated it out the window.
"Rose sweetie come out" Hermione said and Rose crawled out from under the table. Ron was still slightly pale at the appearance of the spider Hermione ignored him though and cleared up the mess and checked Rose murmuring to herself.
"For goodness sake a fearless auror who can't handle a stupid spider"
"Uncle Harry what day is it tomorrow" Rose asked grinning at Harry Ron had brought her into the office for the day and while Ron had a meeting with Kinsley Harry had got the job of looking after a 4 year old Rose.
"Is it...Tuesday" Harry said fanning ignorance Rose laughed though.
"No it's my birthday"
"Really!" he exclaimed Rose nodded and said.
"I'm going to be five only 6 years until I go to Hogwarts" Harry laughed as she jumped down in excitement all the kids were like this counting down the years, months, days and even hours until they got to go to Hogwarts.
"Well then since you will be very grown up and too busy for your poor Uncle tomorrow I better spoil you today come on lets go get ice cream" Harry then left a note for Ron and taking Rose's hand lead her out of the office.
"What flavour do you want?" Harry asked her it was only 10 minutes later and they were both standing inside Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour even though Floreans had mysteriously disappeared during the war but the parlour had been opened again by a family member in honour of him.
"Mmm...Strawberry no chocolate no strawberry..." Rose said trying to decide Harry smiled and turned to the person behind the counter.
"A strawberry and chocolate cone and a vanilla cone please"
"Uncle Harry?" Rose said as they sat down on a table outside the parlour.
"Yes Rosie"
"Why does daddy call me princess?" Harry smiled fondly at her before replying.
"Because that's what you are a little princess"
"No to be a princess you have to have a king and queen for a mummy and daddy" Rose said logically and not for the first time Harry saw Hermione coming out in Rose.
"Well do you want to know a secret?" he said leaning in for affect Rose's eyes widened and she nodded leaning in as well.
"Well you mummy and daddy are a king and queen in disguise but don't tell anyone ok" Rose nodded and frowned.
"Does that mean Hugo's a prince?" and looked to her uncle for an answer but he was laughing too much at her horrified face.
"Grandma thank you!" Rose squealed it was the next day and most of the family, minus Charlie who was still in Romania, were gathered at Ron and Hermione's house for Rose's 5th birthday party.
"Oh I'm glad you like it" Molly said hugging Rose tightly once the little girl was free though she dashed to a corner of the living and started showing her cousin/best friend Albus the large book of muggle fairytales that her grandma and granddad had gotten her.
"Hi Molly" Hermione said approaching her mother-in-law.
"Hi Hermione ho...Ronald Weasley what are you doing" Molly had stopped in mid sentence as she saw her youngest son walking down the stairs with a large box in his arms looking sneaky
"I'm 30 years old mum with a wife and two kids you can't stop me" Ron said indignantly and tried to walk past but Hermione caught him by the collar though.
"Well I can stop you what have you got in there all of Rose's presents are already downstairs"
"It's something I picked up quickly yesterday as a last thought and trust me she'll love it" Hermione shook her head and let him go and give Rose the present.
"DADDY REALLY!" Rose screamed on looking inside the box Ron nodded and Rose leaning inside pulled out a sparkling blue princess dress Rose not wasting anytime sprinted out the room and changed quickly before coming back and walking around slowly showing off her new dress to the rest of the family.
"Ah one more thing" Ron said pulling her back over to him and from behind his back he produced a small tiara with blue gemstones embedded in it.
"Every princess needs her tiara" Ron said simply.
