Chapter 1
After Hogwarts
Harry woke up his scar blinding him with pain. He had just had a horrible dream. It was about Lord Voldemort, rising again and taking away all that Harry had. He couldn't still be alive! Could he? No! He was long gone.
Harry turned on the light and put on his glasses. His bedroom came into focus. He turned over and saw beside him his wife, Cho, who was fast asleep, her raven, black hair fanned out across the pillow. Harry smiled with relief. She was safe. He remembered their life at school. They had been out together and then fallen out over Cedric. Then, in 6th year, he had told her he loved her. Harry sighed and got out of bed. He walked across the hall and opened the door of his son's room.
James was sleeping too. James was 5 years old and looked just like Harry. He had messy, jet black hair and emerald eyes. He had glasses too. No scar though. Harry shut the door, quietly, and tiptoed downstairs into the kitchen, careful not to wake them up. He poured himself a glass of water and looked out of the window over to the house next-door. Ron and Hermione lived there. They were married now.
Harry grinned remembering the good old days at Hogwarts. The Philosophers Stone and the Chamber of Secrets. It seemed like only yesterday they were helping him get through the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Hermione and Ron had a daughter now. She was called Cecile. Like Ron her hair was flaming red but like ermioneHermione her hair was bushy.nhgngngngHvHermione's it was extremely bushy. Harry finished his water and crept back up stairs to bed. He looked at his watch. It was 11:58pm. It would soon be his birthday. His 25th birthday. Harry got into bed. Cho was awake.
"What's wrong?" asked Harry. Cho rubbed her tummy. She had been pregnant for 5 months now. "She woke me up!" she said smiling. "Kicked me!" "What makes you so sure that it's a girl?" asked Harry. "She just is!" said Cho. "Girls kick harder!" "Come on you need some rest!" said Harry. Cho looked at her alarm clock. "11: 59pm," she said. "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Happy Birthday Harry!" She hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. "Let's get some sleep!"
The next day, Harry had totally forgotten about his dream and was woken up by a pair of bright green eyes staring down at him. At first he thought it was Dobby the house elf on one of his surprise visits but then he realised his son was sitting on his stomach. It was almost like looking up at his own reflection! "Morning James!" he said sitting up and giving his son a hug. "Happy Birthday Daddy!" he said holding up a piece of paper covered in scribbles. "Wow!" said Harry. "What is it?" "That's you," said James pointing to a black scribble. "That's Mummy, that's me and that's the baby!" "Its a masterpiece!" said Harry. "Come on lets go down for breakfast!" Harry carried James downstairs to the kitchen. They sat down at the table and breathed in the lovely smell of an all day breakfast as Cho walked over with bacon, eggs, toast, fried tomatoes and all the trimmings. "There you go boys!" she said sitting down at the table. "I'm not that hungry."
After Harry and James had belted down their bacon and eggs Cho went out of the room and returned with a large gift-wrapped present. "Oh Cho! You shouldn't have!" said Harry grinning. He shook the box to hear what might be inside. "Go on! Open it!" she said. Harry unwrapped the present to reveal a shiny, golden wristwatch. It was like the clock that Ron used to have at the Burrow. Instead of the Weasley's names on the hands it was their names. Cho, Harry and James. There was a small hand that was blank. "I'm going to get that hand engraved when we have our baby!" said Cho. "It's wonderful! I love it!" said Harry giving her a kiss and putting on the watch. All of the hands were pointing to home. "When are Ron, Hermione and Cecile coming over?" "Midday," answered Cho looking at Harry's new watch. "Oh look! Only 3 hours! I really have to get ready! Oh Harry?" "Yes?" Harry replied munching on a piece of toast. "Can you go out and get some more Butter Beer? We've run out. And get some balloons and streamers. You'll remember won't you James?" "Yes Mummy!" said James. After they had finished their breakfast Harry helped James tie his Chudley Cannons sneakers that Uncle Ron had given him for Christmas. Ron was the keeper for the Chudley Cannons Quidditch team. It had always been his dream as he had supported them since he was a little kid.
"See you!" said Harry as he and James walked out of the door. He led James down their garden path. Harry lived in London in the Diagon Estate. It was a pretty big estate, right next to Diagon Alley, which was built for young wizarding families.
Harry and James walked past the houses and arrived at the Diagon Estate gate. They opened it and walked right into Diagon Alley next to Gringotts. They walked past 'The Magical Menagerie' and 'Quality Quidditch Supplies' and many other shops until they reached 'The Wand-a-Mart' the wizard's supermarket.
Harry scanned up and down the aisles and eventually found what he needed. After that he popped into 'Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes' to see Fred and George. Fred and George had the most amazing joke shop filled with perfect pranks to pull on friends and foes. George was now married to Angelina Johnson and had two children, Julia and Dermot. Fred was still dating Fleur Delacour. "So how are you doing?" Harry asked Fred as Dermot, Julia and James played with some 'Canary Creams'. "Oh I'm great!" said Fred sarcastically. Then suddenly he lent over the shop counter and grabbed Harry by the collar. "They're driving me mad Harry! They never do what I tell them too and they're wrecking the shop! Do something! HELP ME!" " I can see how much you love children!" said Harry removing Fred's hands from his around his neck. "I'll take them to 'Florean Fortescue's' if you like!" "I love you!" said Fred as Harry ducked his embrace.
"Where are George & Angelina?" "The loving parents have left me with their darling children to go and see Mum and Dad," explained Fred. "Trying to run a shop with these two is killing me! They are the spawn of Satin!"
"I'll take them away then," said Harry rounding the kids up. "See you in about half an hour!". With Julia on his back and James and Dermot at his side he took them to 'Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour' and ordered four peanut butter sundaes with chocolate sauce. The children gulped theirs down in an instant.
"Enjoy that?" Harry asked smiling at their ice-cream coated faces. "Yeah!" they shouted. After Harry had fed the kids and had taken them to the 'Magical Menagerie' to look at the new selection of dancing mice, he dropped Dermot and Julia back at the shop. He arrived home around 11:30am. As soon as Harry and James walked in Cho grabbed the decorations and flicked her wand. They all floated up in the air and attached themselves to the ceiling and walls.
"There!" she said once she had finished. "Now I need to get changed!" she pointed her wand to her yellow flowery maternity dress and it changed to a lilac strappy dress. It was several sizes larger than usual so that it wouldn't be too tight around her tummy. "How do I look?" she asked twirling around. "Beautiful!" said Harry giving her a kiss. "Yeuch!" said James hiding his eyes.
"Just wait till your older young man!" said Cho. "You'll love girls!" James went up to play in his bedroom. "Kids!" said Harry. "What day is it today?" "Sunday," said Cho taking the Butter Beer out of the fridge and putting it on the table. "The Sunday before we go back to work?" Harry asked. "Yep!" answered Cho. Harry sat down at the table and thought. He used to work for the Order of the Phoenix before the holidays. They had destroyed Voldemort once and for all.
Harry had turned all of Voldamort's death eaters against him and left Voldamort unarmed against all of his death eater's and all of The Order with their wands. All of their curses and charms had been so powerful that they had opened up the earth. Voldemort had fallen to the depths of hell and he was certainly dead. Anyway, everyone was happy now! Like a fairy tale. So what was the order going to do? Nobody had said that it was over. Nobody had said they didn't have to go back to work. Harry decided he should just go anyway. Then he remembered his dream. He had to tell Ron and Hermione. But not Cho. She had enough to worry about with the baby and all. So Harry waited until Ron, Hermione and Cecile arrived.
