Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Harry potter. They all belong to J.K Rowling. I wish I did then I would be rich lol.

Authors notes: In the story Harry and Ginny have a lot of Muggle technology. This includes the obvious Electricity. They also have telephones and TV and maybe other stuff as the story evolves.

Please be nice as it is my first story I have written. Please R&R.

No Show

Al woke early that morning as he knew that today would be the day for his letter to arrive. He knew the Owls were on there way as he shot out of bed and ran downstairs into the kitchen where he tripped in his excitement over his sister Lilly's doll. His dad, Harry, picked him up and told him to stop running in the house although he was smiling as he knew why he was so excited.

"Have they arrived yet dad?" Albus screeched

"Mum?" he turned his attention to his mum when he realised his dad had just taken a mouth full of coffee and was unable to answer straight away and that was to long for him

"Not yet Al calm your self down other wise you won't go at all" Said his mum smiling at him.

"When will they be here? I wonder if Rose has got has got hers yet? Can I ring her Mum?" He went in a run to the phone when he hared him mum shouting.

"NOT YET AL JUST CALM YOUR SELF DOWN AND HAVE BREAKFAST YOU GOT TO GIVE THE OWLS TIME TO WAKE UP"

He heard his dad laugh at that statement and he went sulking back the kitchen when he bumped in to his brother, James, who just came downstairs looking sleepy and annoyed

"Sorry" Al said quietly in a moody tone

"Morning everyone" He said in a yawn

"Heard mum shouting, woke me up" He said rather grumpily while sitting down at the kitchen table

"Sorry dear, was yelling at Al to calm down, he's in a right flap over the Owl wants to know if he's in or not"

James just took a mouthful of tea turned to Al, swallowed and said "of course you got in bro you're a Potter and a Weasley…"

"I might be a Squi…"

"… Don't interrupt me please! There isn't a chance you're a squib I've seen what you do when you get mad. There is more change of Lilly being a squib then you and you know she isn't" He finished reassuring his brother while rubbing him on his head.

With that they heard that someone has just Floo in the fireplace and somebody very excitedly yelling while walking towards the kitchen "HAVE THE OWLS ARRIVED YET? IS AL IN?"

"Morning Teddy" said the whole kitchen

"Come sit yourself down and have breakfast, and please don't get Al all hyped up again we just got him settled down" Said Harry

They all tucked into there breakfast when Al realised the window wasn't open and the owls could not come in he mentioned this and his mum, sighed, opened the window and carried on eating

With that they heard the familiar screech of the owls and Al looked up excited as a dozen owls flew in, threw mail on to the table, eight of them in front of him landing in his breakfast, looked through them all excited but didn't recognise the familiar Hogwarts letter

"Don't worry son it will arrive if you remember when James got his it was about an hour after regular mail came. So are you going to open them and tell us who they're from then?" Said his mum

He looked through them all they was all short messages

"Grandma and Granddad Weasley.

Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione, .

Uncle George, Aunt Angela, Fred and Roxanne,

Uncle Bill, Aunt Flure, Victoire, Dominigue and Louis,

Charlie and Rachel,

Uncle Percy, Aunt Audrey Molly and Lucy,

Neville, Hannah and Kallie, and

Luna and Rolf all asking if I got in to Hogwarts. Can I please ring Rose up and see if she got her letter? Please Mum" he begged

"Go get showered and dressed then we will all floo over there alright?!" He dad said

"Ok dad," he said as he ran through the house to the stairs he didn't see the point in showering if they was going to floo over but there was no point in wasting time arguing with his parents about this… Again.

"STOP RUNNING IN THE HOUSE" yelled his dad

"SORRY" Was all they heard.

Al got showered in record time and he quickly dressed himself. He styled his hair using the Muggle hair product his granddad bought him called hair Wax. He liked the pictures of the spiky hair he had seen in muggle magazines and wanted the same effect.

He went downstairs and found that he still didn't have a letter, ten minutes later James came downstairs showered and dressed.

"Dad I think I should wait here and ring Rose, what if my letter comes while we are out and the Owl can't get it in and goes away with it and I miss-my chance-to-go-to-Hogwarts?" he some how managed to say in one breath and now breathing heavily from it

"Al, please stop panicking, if the letter comes while we are out it will do all owls do, Post it" he said in annoyance, trying hard not to lose his temper.

"Harry just calm down you floo over to Ron and Hermione first and take Lilly with you, James you next and then Teddy you can follow them, Al I would like a word with you when everyone has gone" Said Ginny

When everyone left Ginny sat down with her son. She has always known he is sensitive and panic's more about the little simple things, something he picked up from his father although it is not a side he shows very often.

"Al, come sit down next to me" Al sat next to his mum and she cuddled him while he was crying gently and she spoke softly

"Al you need to stop panicking about the letter sweetheart. You will have got in maybe the owl got lost or they were not enough owls and they have to do a couple of trips but I know, you've got in. You know you are more like you father then you realise" She said smiling

"No I'm not, he's brave and he wouldn't be upset about a letter not coming. James wasn't last year when his was late he just took it in his stride like dad would of done. And dad never ever cries. Ever" He said through gentle sobs

"Your father is more sensitive then you think, and he cries he just never shows it to the outside world that's all. Were as you do, that the only difference. Your father was always so sad at school, I caught him crying all the time, but the last few times where mainly from happiness, when James was born and then when you was born he cried again and the same with Lilly. Remember when you climbed that tree and fell off and had to go to St. Mungo's?"

Al nodded

"Well he cried then and blamed himself for the accident" she said

"But why did he blame himself? It was my fault I climbed the tree when he told me not to" he said wiping tears away from his eyes

"He blamed himself because he should of being keeping a better eye on you and caught you when you fell. We all told him it's not his fault, that you wanted to show James you was brave like him and I tell you something you are braver then he is because he would never of climbed that tree. And your letter will arrive. All you should be thinking about is your first day at school Mister" Ginny said to him they was both smiling and giggling while his mum tickled him.

At the Weasley's Harry was just telling Ron and Hermione about Al not yet getting his letter and they looked worried. Rose had hers and kept nagging Harry on when Al would be arriving. Ginny appeared in the fireplace walked over and kissed Harry said Hello to everyone and to Rose that Al will be arriving shortly. She hugged her Aunt and went to play with James and Hugo.

"He is really upset that it hasn't arrived yet and more so that he is upset about being upset. Said he isn't brave like his dad because his dad never cries, but I told him about you crying when the kids were born and when Al fell out of the tree" Ginny said in her sweetest loving voice

Harry left the conversation and found Al.

"Al may I have a word with you please son?" He said and then saw all eyes pointing at him "In private over here please!"

"Sure dad about what?"

"I just want you to know that I have no doubt in my mind that you have been accepted. However if you have not I want you to know how proud I am of you, for being you! And I would be disappointed if you changed because of this. I love you son" He said with tears in his eyes and he really did feel like the proudest dad in the world for how his son was handling the situation.

"I love you to dad, and I promise I won't stop being me" Al said giving his dad a great big hug.

After spending the morning at Ron and Hermione's, they then spent afternoon at Grandma and Granddad Weasley's house. Everyone turned up and they all had dinner with the entire family which was a rarity. They all had a game of Quidditch and played exploding snaps. George brought some stuff from the shop to test out so they were a few burns as well. They came home shattered and still no letter arrived for Al, he just went to bed quietly and cried him self to sleep.

James approached his parents "Will he have got in? I really hope so I missed him last year. I know we argue a lot but I missed him" tears formed in eyes.

Ginny took her son in to a warm hug all she could say was "We hope he got in James we really do"

After all the kids were in bed Harry and Ginny was talking and decided that if they didn't hear anything by tomorrow they would try and contact the Headmistress Professor McGonagall. They were just about to go up to bed when they heard a thud on the back window. Harry got his wand out and went to investigate. He looked out of the widows and saw an owl on the floor looking worse for wear, he went outside and brought him in and saw two letters attached to his leg. One for Harry and Ginny the other for Al.

"GINNY" Harry called. She came running into the kitchen to find Harry with the biggest smile on his face. "It's his letter and there is one for us" He said.

Harry opened the letter and read it

'Dear Mr and Mrs Potter

I apologise for the delay of this letter but the owl got lost and turned back with it. However no one was around at the time and we have only just found it. I have written a letter of apology to Albus in his letter and I am sorry for any inconvenience and upset this may have caused.

As always if you have any issues, please don't be afraid to contact me. I won't give you detention any more Mr Potter.

Kinds Regard

Professor Minerva McGonagall

Headmistress of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry'

"Shall we wake him? He would want to know" Harry asked excitedly.

"No I but I have a plan, sort out down here and meet me upstairs"

Harry locked the backdoor, put the owl with Agrippa the family owl and turned all the lights out and met his wife outside Al's bedroom. Together they tiptoed up to his bed, he was sleeping dreaming. They placed his letter on his pillow; Ginny kissed him on his head "Sweet dreams sweetheart"

Harry leaned over and said "Dream of swimming in the deepest ocean or flying above the highest clouds, dream of wonderful things son, I love you"

Harry and Ginny crept out of the room and quietly closed the door behind them. Tomorrow was going to be a happy day for Al, as a matter of fact for everyone…
