Harry Potter and the Unicorn's Children
Chapter 1
Harry woke on the morning of July thirtieth to his sister vomiting in the bathroom. He moaned and rolled over. Rose had discovered she was pregnant at the beginning of June and had horrible morning sickness. Poor Bill.
Bill had gotten much less "cool" since he'd married. He'd thrown away the earrings and cut his hair to just above his shoulders. It actually looked good. Molly Weasly certainly thought so.
"Harry!" Hermione called from the kitchen. "Breakfast!"
Harry rolled out of bed and stumbled down the stairs to the kitchen. Hermione was standing at the stove flipping pancakes.
"There's eggs and bacon over there," she said absently, nodding at three plates. "Yours is the green, mine's the blue, and Bill's is the purple. Don't get them mixed up."
"What about Rose?" Harry asked as he picked up the green plate and sat it on the round breakfast table.
"I have a feeling that if I cook her breakfast, she'll just hurl it up."
"Why don't you ever let me cook?"
"You've cooked nearly everything for the Durseleys since you were tall enough to reach the stove. Last time Bill cooked he nearly burned down the kitchen. Rose would hurl all over the stove. That leaves me."
"I guess," Harry said through his scrambled eggs. Rose came in the kitchen just as she did.
"Harry, chew first please."
He grinned. "Why should I do that?"
"Because if you don't I will hurl all over your breakfast."
Harry changed the subject. "When's the World Cup anyways?" Rose used to play for the American team, who was playing against Afghanistan this year, so she had free tickets for the Top Box.
"August fifteenth."
"You going?"
"Of course. I want to see what the Als do to the Afghan Beaters this time."
Alexa and Alice Bernard were the identical twins who played Beater for the American team. They were also some of Rose's best friends. They were generally referred to as Alex and Ally or Al, or simply the Als.
"What did they do last time?"
"The Afghans whacked them in the nose with Bludgers, so the girls rigged their brooms with Dungbombs. They blew up in their Seeker's face so Em Grumman had such an easy time of catching the Snitch."
"Cool."
Emily Grumman was the Seeker for the American team. It used to be Rose, but she took a job as DADA teacher at Hogwarts for last year.
"Eat your breakfast," Hermione ordered them. Harry and Rose rolled their eyes. Bill obediently shoveled down his breakfast. He had recently gotten a job working at the twins' new shop in Hogsmeade, a prank shop with a sort of restaurant especially for Hogwarts students. It was more of a club.
"I've got to help the twins set up. We've got an event tomorrow." He put his plate and utensils in the sink and dashed out the door.
"Hermione, can I have one of those pancakes?"
"Uh.sure."
She neatly flipped two perfect pancakes onto a little pink and white plate with designs of roses and lilies on it.
"Do you want the butter or the syrup?"
"Sure."
She neatly buttered her pancakes and carefully poured the syrup over them. Hermione sat down in Bill's recently vacated chair.
"Have you thought about names yet?"
"I want Lillian or James. I don't know about Bill, he says he's still thinking. But I think he agrees."
"I like Lily and James."
"Obviously I do," Harry said. "I named my phoenix James."
"I named mine Lily. Speaking of which, how's Plumaroa doing, Hermione?"
"She's doing wonderfully. She likes to play in the Owlery."
"Yeah. Starsong and Lily go there a lot."
"James practically lives there. Rose, who's the DADA teacher this year?"
He had been springing this question on her all summer.
"He's permanent."
"Who is it?"
"He's really cool. You've met him."
"Rose! That's it!"
He tried looking through her memories for the name. He found it.
"I don't know why I didn't do that before! He's coming back?!"
"Yes."
"Mione, Moony's returning!"
"Yes!"
"Wicked!"
"I've got to go down to the store," Rose said. "I'm going to give Daddy a little joke present. Dog food. Padfoot!"
A large, shaggy black dog came down the stairs and turned into Harry's godfather.
"Eat your breakfast."
He grumbled and picked up a large black plate with the most food on it.
"I'm going to the store."
"Okay."
"Bye."
*~*~*
Rose decided to fly down to the local store, Whiz-Mart. She transformed into a phoenix and landed on the roof for a few seconds before swooping through the ladies' bathroom window to transform back into a human.
She found the pet food aisle quickly. She had had to go there a lot to buy things for her cat Godric, a birthday present from the Bernards. The dog food was right next to the cat food. She bought a nice gift bag of dog food and some new clothes for everyone in the house.
Once she was finished, she decided to visit the local doctor.
*~*~*
Harry and Sirius were watching a replay of the semi finals for the Quidditch World Cup, America versus China.
"Look at Em Feint!" Harry said.
"That's not the Wronski Feint!"
"It's the Potter Feint! It actually exists!"
"What is the Potter Feint?"
"Ask Rose."
"She made a Quidditch move?!"
"Not used very much because it's pretty near impossible to do."
"I see."
"Ask her to show it to you."
"Ask Rose to show you what?" she asked from the doorway. "Here, I bought you new clothes. Harry, Daddy, you need them desperately. Mione just wants some new clothes and I'm going to need new clothes very soon."
"You went to the doctor didn't you?"
She gave Sirius the Death Stare she had learned from her other godfather, Severus Snape. "Friggin' parental instincts. Yes, I did."
"And?"
"It's a girl."
"And?"
"Crud. You are really annoying, you know that?" She started sorting the clothes. "A boy."
"Ooh, twins?" Hermione said from the door. Rose rolled her eyes.
"Nooo. Septuplets. Of course twins."
"Oh."
"Here are your new clothes."
"Ooh!" she ran upstairs to her room to put them on.
"Harry, here are yours. Go change."
Harry still only had Dudley's old clothes.
"Daddy, you need clothes. You haven't gotten any new ones for about fifteen years." She handed him a large pile of clothes. "Both of you, go change!"
They ran to their rooms.
*~*~*
Rose decided to go to The Golden Phoenix, the Weasly twins' shop to help with their "event." Their event just happened to be a birthday party for Harry. She had been put in charge of decorations. She Apparated.
"Hi, Mrs. Potter," Fred said. Bill and Rose had chosen to keep Rose's surname.
"Hi, Mrs. Potter," George echoed. They had gotten used to her doing that. They had recently gotten their own Apparating licenses and a house at the same time.
"I'm here to decorate," she told them. "Where's Bill? He's the one who gets to put everything up."
"Why don't you just levitate it?"
"They look better if it's done manually. Where's Bill?"
"Setting up the presents table."
Rose strode over to the table designated for the presents where Bill stood, his back to her. She grabbed the back of his neck, making him jump.
"Bill, I've got the decorations," she told him.
"Sirius told me you went to the doctor's."
"Yep."
"Boy, girl, or all of the above?"
"C."
"Twins? That's wonderful!"
"Hm. Now here are the decorations. Ladder's over there."
He shook his head and climbed the ladder. Stubborn wife.
