It Starts With a New Generation (Sequel to It Starts With a List).
Chapter 1. The One With the Hogwarts Letter.
"Mom! Please don't make me go to school!" James David Potter yelled as his little baby brother (who they still had no name for) cried and as his younger sister, Lily Evelyn smiled as she straightened her headband.
"It's for your own good, James!" said Harry Potter, who was combing his hair while brushing his teeth. Hermione nodded. She was picking out an outfit for Baby P, the name they had for the baby since they hadn't found a very good name for him.
"Harry, maybe Harry Potter Jr," Hermione whispered out of the corner of her mouth.
"No!" Harry said and looked at his wife. "Never!"
Suddenly, there was a bump at the window. Harry and Hermione both knew what it was, and groaned. They hand't told their children about magic, because they thought that maybe, just maybe, that if they read them muggle stories and let them watch weird Disney movies that maybe, just maybe, they wouldn't have to go to Hogwarts and learn about what Harry and Hermione did at the end of their eighth and final year.
But alas, they were going to learn, and it would be terrible, and James and Lily would never speak to them again or look at them the same way, and that Baby P would one day find out and never speak to them again, either.
But they still had to. Lily saw an owl with a letter in it's beak and opened the window and the owl flew inside and dropped a letter into James' hands.
"No fair! I don't get one!" said Lily.
"No, you're happy you didn't get one!" said James as the owl flew out and Hermione quickly shut the window. "This is obviously a prank! I mean, what in the world is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"
"Oh no," Hermione said.
Suddenly, Ron, Lavender, Ginny, and Dean appeared out the fireplace and shook hands with Harry and Hermione as the kids just stared in shock about how that happened and realized that this was most likely against the law. James looked at his sister and mouthed, 'what is going on?!' and Lily mouthed back, 'you think I know?!'.
Soon, the family went home and the Potters were all out of breath, even Baby P, even though he was taking a nap. "What in the world is going on?!" James said as he broke the silence.
"So, kids, we have a lot to do so bye-" Harry started to walk of, but then Hermione 'Harry James Potter'ed him.
"Kids, I know this may come as a shock to you, but James, give me your Hogwarts letter," Hermione said.
"But mum-"
"JAMES POTTER I SAID GIVE IT!" Hermione yelled.
He put it on the table and pushed it slowly with his pointer finger.
"Thank you." Hermione took a deep breath. She opened the letter. "James, this letter is accepting you to Hogwarts. Hogwarts is the school me and your dad used to go to when we were 11-19. The usual course is seven years, but it was eight for us because there was a wizarding war, and me, dad, and Uncle Ron fought in it. Now, please remember that we didn't tell you about it before because we were scared for your sanity.
"Me and Dad have a little story to tell you because we know that it'll pop up during Hogwarts.
"Me and Dad started to date in our eighth year. During that time, I got pregnant. I was nineteen. I wouldn't know how to raise a baby! Plus, it was someone else's, not Dad's. But Dad still agreed to help me raise the baby after it was born.
"Me and Uncle Ron once had a fling. Yes, it's very weird, but we were teenagers, what do you expect? So I was pregnant with his baby, but he thought that it was Harry's. When I finally told him, he was fine with it. Until, it was time for me to give birth. We went to St. Mungo's, a wizard hospital, where they gave me a C-Section," Hermione was crying so Harry took over.
"When the baby was born, they thought the baby was gonna be fine. We named the baby Miracle. Miracle one day started getting really sick. We took her to the doctors, and they found out that she had cancer. Miracle died at the age of five because of leg cancer. Mom was pregnant with James at the time, and we thought that because of her distress, James wouldn't make it. But you did. Every time we hear the word miracle we almost cry.
"We named her Miracle because she was a miracle baby. The doctors, when she was born, said that she wouldn't live for that long, because of her heart, because her heart had problems, too. But she was a day away from her sixth birthday when she died. She died at 11:59," Harry said and James and Lily looked at each other and hugged their parents.
"But now you have us," Lily said.
"We're all you need," James said.
"Blsjhdoufodu," Baby P said.
Yeah, new story! Happy 2019, peoples!
