AN: Well hello again it is me lovely42 back from the dead. No I joke but this is my sequel to my first story the engagement. So if you have not read that one yet I would suggest doing it but it is not required. Also some of the kids don't follow the time line of my last story as in they should already be born and little stuff like that but considering it is a fanfiction, as i do not own Harry Potter, we are just going to let that slide. I hope you enjoy my story. Also I have a lot of ideas for this story so it is going to take away from me to finish it. I am starting it in James Sirius Potter's first year and have ideas up to Lily Luna's wedding so who knows how long this story is going to be. But I am already at like 30 chapters and I am in third year...so I am feeling like this is going to take away. Anyway on with the story (and the background info is so you know who everyone is I do a little intro about who everyone is and who's kids they are but this way it is easy.
Also a BIG thank you to MrsGPotter2 who has decided to be my beta! Yay! (I am redoing the first 6 chapters with her help of course)
In the last 15 years many changes happened to the Wotter Clan (Potter and Weasley). Molly and Arthur were proud grandparents to not 20 but 24 kids. After Victoire, Bill and Fleur had two more children Dominique and Louis. All of their children were beautiful; there is no other word for them. Louis had his mother's blonde hair, whereas Dominique had Bill's red hair.
Charlie met his wife Emma at Harry and Ginny's wedding and six months later they were married. Emma had long black hair, piercing blue eyes, and was 5'9. She is a healer and went back to Romania with Charlie to live there. Charlie and Emma have four children: Christopher who is 15, Brandon at age 14, Isabella who is 13 and best friends with Dominique, and Madison who is 8. The family didn't move back to England until Chris was 9 so their kids could still go to Hogwarts. Christopher, who prefers Chris, has his dad's bright red hair and his mum's stunning blue eyes. He was one of the best looking guys in his year and had tons of girls chasing after him, but that could also be because his last name is Weasley. Brandon is a year younger than his older brother and looks just like him, except he has black hair with red highlights. Isabella, but if you call her anything other than Izzie you will be hexed, was stunning; she looked just like her mum but instead of long black hair, hers is a deep rich red. Izzie and her best friend Dom are two of the most popular girls in school because of a combination of their looks and personality. Finally there is Maddie, the youngest of the bunch. Maddie has long black hair and deep brown eyes. Like her sister, Maddie is quite a talker; once she gets started it is hard to get her to stop talking.
Percy and Audrey met through their work at the ministry. Audrey is the slightly less uptight, female version of Percy. Both of them like to focus on their work, and it is because of this that they both are now heads of their respective departments. With parents like Percy and Audrey it would be no surprise if their 4 kids were always perfectly behaved...but that isn't the case. Both Arthur and Molly, after Percy's parents, were already known at Hogwarts for throwing the best parties. Although they both had to make sure their grades stayed up otherwise they would be in tons of trouble. Arthur had red brown hair and brown eyes, whereas Molly had bright red hair and blue grey eyes. Lucy is 12 and already her dream is to become a curse breaker like her Uncle Bill, and Michael is 9 and already wants to become a rock star, much to his parent's horror.
Fred spent another year going between girls until he finally realised what was right in front of him, Katie Bell. Fred and Katie have three children: Edmond who is 13, Roxanne, 12, and Fred Jr. 11 years old and James Potter's best friend. Unlike Fred and Katie, George and Luna decided to elope while Harry and Ginny were on their honeymoon. The two of them have 4 kids, two sets of twins. Lorcan and Lysander are 12 years old and identical. They have George's red hair and height, but Luna's blue eyes. Fiona and Rebecca, who were 9, are best friends, but looking at the two of them you couldn't tell they were twins. Fiona was the spitting image of her mum with blonde hair and blue eyes, while Rebecca, Becca, looked more like a Weasley with her deep red hair and piercing blue eyes.
Ron and Hermione got married a year after Harry and Ginny. They moved out of the Manor a few months after Harry and Ginny got back from their honeymoon. In the last few years Ginny, Hermione, Harry and Ron have all made huge contributions to the wizarding community. Hermione and Ginny's charity has become the biggest social event of every year, with the theme and place the charity was donating to changing every year. The two of them also started to bring muggle fashion into the wizarding world. It all started the year of Ginny and Harry's wedding, when all four of them found it easier to do things in muggle clothes rather than wizard robes. Hermione was also able to achieve one of her dreams, and she became Head of Law Enforcement after changing many of the rules and restrictions on half breeds and magical creatures. Ginny was also able to complete her secret project, creating a new and improved wolfsbane potion that completely cured a werewolf. Ever since Harry told her about Teddy's father, she couldn't help but feel horrible at the fact that there was a chance Teddy would have to go through the same thing, so she wanted to prevent other kids from having to go through that too. Ron, it seemed, had a knack for inventions. He now has his own broom company, The Lightening Series, named after an inside joke with his business partner, Harry. Also, Harry and Ron were the ones to find a way to get muggle electronics to work with magic,an idea they got from the muggle room in the manor. The wizarding world was now just as advanced as the muggle world was technology wise. Potter and Weasley Electronics was the only company that can make electronics that work with magic, so it turned out to be very profitable. Even while they were changing the wizarding world, each couple had time to have children. Ron and Hermione had two kids, Rose who is 10 years old and Hugo who is 8. Harry and Ginny had three more children after Teddy who is now 17; there is James, 11, Albus, 10, and Lily, 8. All six of the children grew up together; it seemed as though each child had 5 siblings and two sets of parents. Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione had all agreed not to allow their kids to become spoiled brats, so each child had to do chores, and even though they were a bit spoiled, they were not snobs. All of their kids were kind and knew of their parent's fame, but didn't let that affect them.
OOOOOOO
"Dad, Mum, James, Al, Lils come on. This is my last train ride and I promised Vicky I would be on time. Unlike last year when I had to floo to Grandma Minnie's and wait with her until the train arrived." Teddy yelled throughout Potter Manor.
"Are you ever going to let us forget about that?" Harry said as he came down the staircase with Lily on his back.
"Nope," Teddy said popping the 'p'.
"I spoke to Minnie, and she said that the two of you had a great time, and I know that you love spending time with her. Besides it was your fault you were late. I told you to pack weeks before but no, you had to wait until the day you were leaving." Ginny said putting her two cents in as she came from the kitchen.
"Okay fine mum, but this will be the last time I ride the train and I would like to get there before it gets crowded." Teddy said with a pout.
"I realise Teddy Bear that it is your last train ride and you are just far too popular, but can you please watch out for Jamie on the train. Make sure he and Freddie don't blow anything up." Ginny begged ignoring the face Teddy made when she called him 'Teddy Bear'. Teddy, Ginny, Harry and Lily were all in the entrance waiting for James and Albus to get down stairs.
"What is taking so long?" Teddy asked again. Teddy was about to yell upstairs when he heard yelling.
"You have got to be kidding me," Ginny mumbled with a roll of her eyes.
"I bet they are fighting over who gets to keep a game." Harry said giving Ginny a look.
"Oh you are so on Potter," Ginny said with a smile.
"Daddy, you and mommy bet on us?" Lily asked sweetly.
"Yes we do and she normally wins but I think I might be able to win this one." Harry said with a chuckle as he leaned against the door.
"NO WAY THAT ISN'T FAIR!" Albus yelled at James.
"YES IT IS I AM OLDER!" James yelled back as the two of them came flying down the stairs.
"Mum shouldn't I get to take Warcraft 3 with me?" James asked running up to his mum.
"No that is my favourite game. I should." Albus said sticking his tongue out at James.
"Neither of you get it. And I am going to have Neville take away all your electronics when you get to school James, and Albus I will be taking yours away. We are going to be late for the train now, and I lost a bet to your father." Ginny said with her hands on her hips.
"Sorry mum," James and Albus mumbled.
"It's not me you should be saying sorry to. I am not the one late for their last train ride with Vicky." Ginny said sternly.
"Sorry Ted," James and Albus said turning to face Teddy.
"Okay you guys lets go. Teddy would you like to drive?" Harry asked holding the keys in front of him.
"Really?" Teddy questioned. "Yes, I would love to, let's go. Last one to the car has to be Uncle Fred and Uncle George's test subject." Teddy yelled and all the kids made a mad rush to the car.
"Sometimes I can't believe that he is 17 with the way he acts." Harry said with a laugh.
"He is just excited to get to Vicky, his future wife." Ginny said teasingly.
"You know the pool is up to 1245 galleons. Ron and Hermione have until the starting feast, Minnie has until Christmas, and then we have until graduation." Harry told her.
"I remember George was depressed for weeks when they didn't get together last year." Ginny said before giving Harry a quick kiss.
"What was that for," Harry asked, pleasantly surprised.
"Well I had to give you your winnings for the bet." Ginny said, giving him a wink before walking to the car.
Harry paused for a moment before he too went to the car. When Harry got into the passenger seat he did a quick prayer that they would make it their alive because of Teddy's unique driving style.
OOOOOOOO
The Potter family didn't get to platform 9 ¾ until 10:30, so with only half an hour left, they quickly met up with the rest of the Weasley's on the platform.
"Can you see Rosie anywhere? I have her fake wand," Albus said trying to look over people's heads, which was quite a feat considering he was only 10.
"Al just look for the group of red heads." Ginny said tightening her hold on Lily's hand.
"But mum I don't see them. Freddie and I need at least a 10 minute meeting before we get on the train." James also whined.
"James Sirius Potter, you and Freddie better not be planning any pranks for the train ride." Harry said trying to look stern, but from the look Ginny was giving him, it wasn't working.
"Come on dad would I prank anyone?" James said innocently.
"YES" Ginny, Harry, Lily, Albus and Teddy said with a yell.
"Come on I see the family, and we have to hurry because I need to get my trunk on the train." Teddy said, starting to walk towards the huge group of red heads.
As soon as the Potters got to the family, they got even louder with everyone trying to greet each other.
"Hey Ted, I got us a compartment at the end of the train," Victoire said running up to Teddy to give him a hug.
"Perfect. I cannot believe that this will be my last train ride to school," Teddy said with a sigh.
"Well then, I guess we better make this a memorable train ride," Victoire said sweetly.
"Oh, Ted, maybe that means she will-" Whatever James was going to say was cut off due to the fact that Teddy had covered his mouth.
"James shut up," Teddy hissed with a light blush to his face. Everyone in the family knew that Teddy liked Victoire and Victoire liked Teddy, except the two of them.
James just pouted, but the effect was ruined since Teddy's hand was still covering his mouth.
"James, I had your father and Uncle Ron but your trunk in Freddie's compartment, but what do you have in there? There is a feather light charm on that thing and still, both your dad and uncle had to lift it," Ginny said coming out of nowhere to meet with the group.
"Mum, I just have all my quidditch books in there, and you know how many of those I have," James's told his mother.
"Please, I know that's not it, but since it is your first year I won't make a big deal about it," Ginny said. A few minutes later the warning bell sounded.
Teddy and James were passed from person to person, all of them giving hugs and kisses, and wishing them good luck until, at last, they were in front of their family. Ginny already had tears in her eyes and Harry's looked a little bright as well.
"Bye Teddy Bear. I can't believe it's your last year, time just flies. I will see you soon, and remember you are 17 now, so I expect you to come to this year's adult ball not the kid's one. Oh, you have grown up so fast. I love you Teddy Bear." Ginny said pulling Teddy into a tight hug.
"Gin, let him breathe, he is turning blue," Harry said softly.
"Right, of course," Ginny said with tears.
"Ted I am so proud of you. I can't believe this is your last year. I still remember when I would take you with me when I went to teach. I love you son. Just remember to have lots of fun and study, and if you need any quidditch advice I am only an owl away" Harry said pulling Teddy into a big hug as well.
"By mum, dad I love you." Teddy said.
"Come here you two," Teddy said holding out his arms. Albus and Lily didn't wait a moment before they ran into his arms to give him a hug.
"Bye big bro, don't forget to write." Albus said.
"Yea you better write to me at least once a week or else I will have to go to Hogwarts myself," Lily said sternly.
"I love you both and I will see you soon. I might sneak away one weekend." Teddy said with a smile.
Finally it was James's turn for goodbye. James was expecting tons of threats about what would happen if he put a toe out of line, but both of his parents surprised him.
"I am going to miss you Jamie. I want you to have lots of fun and you have to write every day. I can't believe you are going to Hogwarts. I love you sweetie and please don't kill anyone with the pranks." Ginny said giving James a tight hug with tears in her eyes.
"Mum I can't breathe," James gasped out. Ginny let out a watery chuckle before letting him go.
"I love you son. Make sure you get into lots of trouble and I am going to miss you coming to work with me. I guess I will have to wait until Christmas. Have fun, make tons of friends and remember we will love you no matter what house you are in." Harry said giving James a big hug.
"I can't believe how fast you grew up." Harry said softly to James.
"I love you too dad. I love you mum." James said. As soon as James was out of Harry's arms a red bullet shot at James.
"I am going to miss you Jamie," Lily said as she was hugging James.
"Love you too Lils," James said rolling his eyes only a little bit.
Once Lily let go of James he turned to face Albus. When James retells the story he swears it was Albus who moved first, and when Albus tells it he says it was James, but everyone watching knew that the two brothers moved as one. The next thing they know they are hugging each other fiercely.
"Love you bro" James said.
"You better not do all the good pranks without me." Albus said softly.
"I promise." James said.
"I hate it when you guys do that," Teddy said as Albus and James spoke Parseltongue to each other.
"Trust me it was sweet." Harry said winking at his two sons.
"I don't see why you get so upset," Lily said with a smile.
"Maybe because I can't understand it," Teddy said with mock rudeness.
"Okay you two, enough, if you don't get on the train it will leave without you," Harry said causing Teddy and James to hurry onto the train.
"Bye, we will see you boys soon. Have a good time and please don't kill anyone," Ginny said as she waved at them from the platform. Harry, Ginny, Albus and Lily watched as the scarlet engine pulled out of the station and disappeared off into the horizon.
"Come on guys. How about we get some brunch I am starving." Ron said from behind them. Hermione rolled her eyes before hitting Ron. "Ouch, what was that for?" Ron asked as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Ron you could see that they were having a family moment watching the two of them leave," Hermione said with a roll of her eyes.
"Well they look fine now. Besides we always go to brunch after the train leaves." Ron said.
"Can I have cake?" Hugo asked stopping the rest of the argument.
"No you get dessert after you eat a proper lunch," Hermione said.
"But mommy it's my birthday," Hugo asked with a pout.
"Hugo your birthday is in March," Ron said with a smile.
"Well it's someone's birthday," Hugo tried weakly. Harry couldn't help but chuckle at that.
"That's right Hermione; it's someone's birthday, so how can we not have cake for lunch?" Harry said sarcastically.
"Don't encourage him Harry," Hermione said with a smile.
"Come on let's go. We can have cake after everyone has finished their lunch," Ginny said, much to the pleasure of Hugo.
"Let's go. Come on Lils, the faster we go, the sooner we can have cake," Hugo said, like it is the most obvious thing in the world.
"I do hope they are okay," Ginny said to Hermione on their way out of the station.
"I am sure they will be fine. That or James and Freddie have already pranked someone," Hermione said with a smile.
"Lils, Hugo, Al, Rosie wait for us before you go through the barrier, there are reporters there," Ron yelled seeing the kids about to run out of the platform.
"Right, I forgot about the reporters," Harry said, and when Ron gave him a look he continued, "Okay I didn't really, but I hoped that if I acted like they won't be there then they won't."
"Like that would work," Ron said in a teasing tone. Harry just rolled his eyes before grabbing Lily's hand and getting ready to face the reporters.
"Might as well get this over with," Harry said before stepping out into the spot light.
