To the Beach!

"Ok, does everyone have their seatbelts on?" Ginny Potter turned around in her seat to make sure.

"Yes Mummy!" James, Albus and Lily replied. "Yes Auntie Ginny!" Rose and Hugo said. Ginny smiled.

"Good job everyone." She turned back around in her seat. Ron and Hermione were squeezed in next to her in the magically enlarged car. Her husband, Harry, was driving.

"And off we go!" Harry said, pulling out of the driveway of the house in Godric's Hollow. He sighed. This was going to be a long drive.

"Mummy! James stole my coloring book!"4 year old Albus cried.

"James, give your brother his coloring book." Ginny said sternly.

"I just wanted to see it." 5 year old James replied sulkily.

"Boys, keep your voices down, Lily and Hugo are napping." Hermione told them. Albus immediately started coloring again and James looked out the window.

"Mummy," this time it came from Rose.

"Yes, sweetie?" Hermione said.

"I'm hungry." Rose rubbed her stomach as it growled loudly.

"Ok, anyone else hungry?" Ron asked. A chorus of "Me!"s filled the backseat.

"Ok, I'll pull over to a drive-thru," Harry said. "How about McDonald's?"

"Ok." Rose said. "Thank you."

5 kid's meals and 4 Big Macs later, they were on the road again. 2 year olds Lily and Hugo were coloring now. The backseat was quiet. Hopefully it would last until the drive was almost over!
