Hey Guys! This is my first fanfiction, so I'm sorry if it sucks. I hope to update every weekend, but I can't promise anything. If you have any ideas for the story please leave a comment. Note: This takes place 21 years after the Battle of Hogwarts. By the way, the first part of this was written by my friend. I hope you enjoy reading! Despite my wishes, I don't own Harry Potter, the brilliant Jo Rowling does.
Chapter 1. Flying Food
"They're here!" called Ginny Potter from the kitchen as the rest of her family walked down the stairs
"Okay let's see," Ginny muttered to herself as she walked into the living room, "Harry, Lily, Albus… where's James?"
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" cried James as he jumped out of his school trunk like Tarzan.
"James Sirius Potter! Get out of that trunk! Everyone will be here any minute!" said Ginny as she levitated James out of the trunk with a flick of her wand.
"Ding-Dong" the doorbell rang. "Alright, now that everybody is here, Lily will you please go get the door?" Ginny asked, putting her wand back in her coat pocket.
"Yes mum." Lily replied as she skipped over to the door to greet the family. She turned the door handle and quickly flung open the door.
"Hey everyone! Happy Hogwarts Day" Luna Scamander exclaimed. The date was May 2nd, the anniversary of the historic Battle of Hogwarts. The children had the week off school, and everyone, even Draco and his son Scorpius (who were running late, to no one's surprise) we're invited to dinner at the Potters.
"Hey! What's up little twins!" greeted James to Luna's sons Lorcan and Lysander, aka pranksters in training. Everyone greeted everyone and sat down to talk.
About ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. Lorcan and Lysander ran to answer it. It was Ron and Hermione Granger-Weasley and their children Hugo and his older sister Rose. Next to them was Teddy Lupin, who was always welcome at the Potters. Behind Teddy was Draco and Scorpius. Scorpius followed closely behind his dad as they all made their way inside. The room smelled of Roast Turkey and Spaghetti, and a hint of Ginny's homemade chocolate chip cookies that everyone eagerly awaited.
Once everyone had hung up their coats and the tables had been set (The children got their own separate table), they all sat down to eat.
"This looks delicious!" said Luna happily. She never had anything bad to say about the Potters, or anyone for that matter. She did have her opinions, but mostly kept them to herself.
"Ginny's the cook in the house." Harry replied "Last time I cooked dinner I nearly set the house on fire."
The adults went on discussing recent articles in the Daily Prophet, which reported a muggle in Australia claiming to have spotted a flock of dragons flying over the Indian Ocean.
Meanwhile at the children's table, Lorcan and Lysander had begun a food fight and we're currently aiming a spoonful of mashed potatoes at the Potters cat, which was curled up on a soft blanket in the corner. James cheered them on, he didn't like that cat very much, It always scratched him when he was little. Rose gave the three of them a look of disgust and returned to eating her food. Hugo, who was reading a book in his lap was to immersed in his story to notice a loud yowl from the cat as a spoonful of mashed potatoes hit him on his grey fur. But the noise did grab the unwanted attention of Harry at the dinner table.
"What on earth are you three doing?!" Harry asked in shock as his mash-potato covered cat hid, shaking, underneath Harry's chair.
"We only wanted to see if the potatoes would stick to the cat." replied Lysander
"Yeah! It was James who gave us the idea!" Lorcan added, pointing a finger at James, who looked up to see his dad's disapproving eyes.
"James." said Harry harshly, "Go to your room. Now"
"But dad!" James pleaded.
"Harry." Ginny said calming Harry. She had been listening to their conversation. Ginny put an arm around her husband.
"Alright, you can stay, but no dessert, and if I see anymore flying food, you're grounded for a week." Harry said sternly. James knew he had been let off the hook, and decided to obey his father for once in his life.
Harry and Ginny turned back to their dinner, and James let out a breath and folded his arms. He glared down at his vegetables in disgust. He wished he was back at Hogwarts where he could eat whatever he wanted, without his parents nagging him to eat his vegetables.
Scorpius on the other hand was enjoying his dinner. He didn't get many home cooked meals at the Malfoys, and always prefered Hogwarts over his home. Since his mother Astoria had died, Draco had been depressed, and tended to spend more time focused on his paperwork, than his son, which left Scorpius, an only child, to keep himself busy, often proving to be a difficult task for Scorpius.
Once he had come to Hogwarts though, he spent a great deal of time with Albus, a fellow Slytherin, and Albus's cousin Rose, who belonged to Gryffindor. Scorpius had taken a liking to Rose very early on, but when Albus questioned him about it, he denied, for he wasn't quite ready for anyone to know just yet. But that didn't stop Albus from painfully elbowing him in the side when he glanced over at Rose.
Rose was a very impeccable girl with long wavy hair, flaming red, like every other Weasley, and warm brown eyes like her mum. Tonight she was wearing a long, silky, dark green dress that fit her like a glove. She was thankful that she wasn't sitting next to Lorcan and Lysander who were now making a mess of spaghetti sauce while abandoning their fork and eating the pasta like finger food.
All of a sudden, Lysander accidentally shot a glob of spaghetti sauce into the air, which hurled across the table and onto Roses cheek.
"Will you two please stop behaving like pigs!" Rose demanded.
"We're sorry Rose" replied Lysander guiltily
"It was an accident!" Lorcan added innocently.
"It's okay," said Rose "just don't let it happen again." She knew they were young and so she easily forgave them.
Scorpius took notice of the situation and helped Rose to wipe the spaghetti sauce off her face.
"Thanks." Rose chuckled, and slightly blushed.
"No problem." Scorpius responded. Albus gave Scorpius a sly smile that was thankfully unseen by Rose, who went back to politely eating her spaghetti.
