I don't own HP! I just love writing about Harry's kids! I added my own 3 other kids from m other stories "Stranded Love" and Good Luck Harry!" kids are as following
What started as an innocent question would open wounds not even Harry is willing to show. A dangerous new foe, which seems harmless, might be what might make Harry crumble. Even if he is the boy who lived

Paul (7)
Jack (3)
Hannah (1)
Chapter 1
"I'm so happy the kids are home!" Ginny told Harry as she entered the kitchen "I have missed them!"
"Yeah, I know, it gets awfully quiet around here, even if we have other ones who are not that noisy" Harry chuckled kissing her lips
"ew!" Paul said entering the kitchen "what are you doing?"
"Hi sweetheart" Ginny said pulling away from Harry "good morning"
"Dad, can I have a word?" Paul said quite serious. Harry smirked at his wife but then she gave him a stern look
"Sure" Harry said coolly "what is it?"
"Not here" Paul gave his mother an awkward look. Harry smiled as Paul dragged him away to the living room
"What is it?" Harry asked quite amused by the boy's behavior "did your brothers do something?"
Paul lowered his face "I don't think I want to be a wizard anymore". Harry almost fell backwards from where he was sting
"What do you mean?" he hadn't expected this kind of statement. He had he had just figured he was about to tell on one of his brothers and their constant bickering "you don't want to be a wizard?"
Paul nodded "I want to be like Sully". Sully?
"Who's that?" Harry asked quietly. It might just be an imaginary friend. But wasn't he too old to have an imaginary friend
"My friend" the boy's eyes met his. They were Ginny's "he's not going to school when he's 11"
"And why is that?" Harry was really intrigued by the conversation. Who could this boy be that he was talking about?
"because he can't" Paul said simply "he says his brother and sisters are all going to Hogwarts, but he's not, I don't want him to be by himself when they do, so I'm going to stay with him"
Why hadn't Harry heard about this before? Had Ginny known? Maybe Lilly?
"So he's got no magic?" Harry didn't really quite know how to ask "is that why he's not going to school?"
"No, he's got it, he just can't use it" Paul said, his voice was anxious as if he had hoped Harry would caught up to the rest by himself
"Why not?" Harry asked a bit frustrated
"Because if he uses magic then he'll be bad and his mum doesn't want him to become bad, he says only good boys go to school" His son's answer was a bit odd. But he couldn't really imagine the real reason the boy wouldn't be able to go to school. Maybe he was afraid of Slytherin like he and Albus had been when they had first started school, even today and with everything that had happened with Snape. Slytherin still kept the infamous name intact
"I don't think he'll be bad if he uses magic P" Harry said sweetly "maybe he's just afraid of being sorted into the wrong house"
"So you mean he can go and he doesn't become bad?" Paul asked innocently "are you sure dad?"
"Positive" Harry said "it'd be better if I talk to him then?" Paul smiled widely
"Okay, I'll go get him!" Sully was a chubby little boy, much as Neville had been. Harry sat him and explained to him that he mustn't be afraid of using magic, but the boy seemed unsure of trusting him. He then wondered if the parents were muggles, then they would have a problem with the boy using magic
"Gin?" Harry asked his wife that night "did you know about this boy?"
"Oh yeah, his parents just moved about 2 months ago" Ginny said as she braided her hair getting ready for bed
"Two months!" Harry said "why haven't I heard about him until now?"
"I don't know" Ginny said. She had now left the dresser and made her way towards him "his mum just remarried and it is not easy for the children"
"And you know this how?" Harry asked annoyed by the lack of information he had
"Lilly told me" Ginny said "there is a girl about her age too"
"Ok, so this person, the stepdad, what's he got against children doing magic?" Harry asked angrily
"He's a muggle" the word didn't sound as bad as it was coming from her lips "I suppose he's just afraid of what the children might do if they learn to control their abilities"
"So what if he is?" Harry was starting to get pumped. If there was one thing he couldn't stand was bragging presumptuous muggles. It reminded him of the days with uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia
"Maybe we shouldn't judge people too quickly Harry" Ginny said "what do you say if we ask them over for dinner?"
Harry hadn't been able to sleep that night… but there was no way he would have imagined the worse kind of muggle and the real reason why Sully's mum had agreed to marry him. What had started as an innocent request would open certain wounds Harry wasn't really willing to open
This is by far the darkest story I have ever written… hope you like it! Please tell me what you think!
