Chapter One; A Walk In The Park
It was a warm autumn day and Harry and Ginny Potter strolled down the path of Godric's Park together. Luckily it was a cloudy day and Ginny didn't have to worry about the sun. Although Harry had brought along some invisibility potion (due to the fact that his wife was now a vampire) just in case it did come back out. Derek and his four sons had decided to go to the park as well.
The Dodger boys pretty much all looked the same since they had had wavy blonde hair and dark blue eyes, but they were all very different personality wise. Nicholas (Nick) was the oldest (seven) and less rambunctious than his younger three brothers and even more responsible than them, while Blake ( the second oldest and two years younger than him) was the neat freak in the family.
Adam (who was two years younger than him) was the comedian in the family, and finally Cole who was practically still a baby (because he was almost a year and a half) didn't have much of a personality yet but he was still a pretty happy baby and loved putting whatever he could find off the ground inside his mouth. Of course that drove his mother crazy because she was always worried that he would land himself inside the wizarding hospital one day.
Up until this point the lives of the Dodger boys had pretty much stayed the same, but pretty soon it was going to change drastically for them since their parents were planning the arrival of their new baby sister. Adam, (who had loved his brothers very much) was looking forward to a new baby in the house, but he wasn't sure what he felt about it being a girl this time. For one of the reasons that he had loved his brothers so much is the fact about how he got to roughhouse with them.
The only things that girls generally liked to do were to dress up, play with their dolls, and have tea parties. So while his brothers were playing on the playground (except for Cole who was riding around inside his little red wagon) and jumping in the leaves, Adam decided to wander away when he ran into Harry and Ginny who he considered them to be his aunt and uncle, and when he greeted them, he addressed them in that manner.
"Adam?" Harry questioned him as they came to a sudden halt in front of him. "What are you doing here?" he wondered as the little boy took a deep breath and sighed heavily.
"I'm running away." He told them.
"Well that's not a very safe thing to do." Harry began. "Your parents will be very worried about you."
"Yeah and you could get hurt." Ginny told him.
"Why do you want to runaway anyway?" Harry asked him.
"Mummy and Daddy are having a new baby. I'm getting a new sister." He explained.
"We know," Harry began. "aren't you happy about it?" he asked him.
"No, I don't want a new sister. I want things to just stay the way they are." He told him with a shake of his head. "Mummy and Daddy won't care about us anymore when the new baby comes." He said.
"Why do you say that?" Ginny wondered.
"Because ever since Nicholas was born they always wanted a girl, and after she's born they'll be spending all of their time with her." He explained.
"Yes but that doesn't mean that they won't love you and your brothers anymore." Ginny began before she took a deep breath and squatted down in front of him. "Fred and George were the same way when I was born even though they were way too young to express their feeling about it. Mum could tell that they didn't want a baby sister and they thought things were perfect the way they were. They always used to get so jealous of all the attention that I was getting, and thought that I was being treated differently for being the only Weasley girl." She explained.
"So what happened?" Adam asked her eagerly.
"Well Mum gave them extra special jobs for them to do." She replied with a grin.
"Like what?" Adam inquired suddenly seeming very interested about the story that she was telling him.
"Well she would have them get things for me when I needed them. Like if I was cold or I needed to take a nap she would have them fetch a blanket for me, or if I was fussy they would go bring me a dummy to help keep me quiet. After a while Fred and George sort of got used to having me around, and then they started enjoying it and realized that they loved me and I loved them and looked up to them in return." She told him. "Like Cole, and your new baby sister will do for you. Do you understand?" she asked him.
"Yeah, I think so." He responded before she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly.
"Good, then you better get back to your father before he and your brothers start worrying about you and wondering where you are." She told him before she pulled out of the embrace.
"Alright I will, thanks Aunt Ginny and Uncle Harry." He told them as he smiled up at them and waved goodbye before he darted away and Ginny slowly made her way back up onto her feet.
"Well, I have to say that went better than I thought it would." Harry told her as he turned to look at her with a grin before he took ahold of her hand and kissed the back of it as they continued walking down the path.
That's when all of a sudden they heard a great whooshing and whirring noise. "What's that?" Ginny questioned as they walked around the corner and saw a tall blue box standing in front of them that read "Police Public Call Box" In dark bold letters on the front of it.
"It looks like a telephone box." Harry said as they stopped right in front of it and a blonde haired woman stepped out of it followed by a man with short light brown hair and dark brown eyes. The girl also had her hair tied up inside a pink ponytail holder and wore a matching jumper, and the man had a long brown overcoat that matched his hair color.
Ginny and the other girl exchanged looks and locked eyes before gaping their mouths wide open at each other while Harry and the other man came face to face and the tall and slender man studied Harry's scar. "Oh my God," the other girl began. "it's you!"
