Into the Future
"ELIZABETH MICHELLE POTTER! HURRY UP!" Ginny yelled up the stairs to her thirteen year old daughter.
"Calm yourself, mother." Liz said, coming down stairs. She saw her mother with her purse on her shoulder and youngest daughter in her arms. Liz smiled. Ginny was too cool. Thirty-three with three kids and one on the way. James Andrew was eleven, Lillian Rose was two, and she was four months pregnant.
"Will you two please hur- oh no. Elizabeth Michelle, you are NOT wearing that!" Harry said, his eyes bulging when he caught sight of his daughter's mini skirt and halter top.
"What's with all the Elizabeth Michelle this morning? I thought we agreed on Liz." Liz said sarcastically, giving Harry the eyes.
Harry looked down at his daughter, trying to be firm but melting under his angel's gaze.
"Oh honestly, Harry!" Ginny snapped, pushing her husband aside. "Bring her things to the car I'll take care of the outfit."
Liz rolled her eyes. "Daddy!" she whined.
"You are not wearing that." Harry said again, taking the two pink duffle bags and the black Hogwarts bag to the cab waiting outside.
"I think you look amazing." Ginny smiled at her daughter when Harry was out of earshot. "But Daddy hates the thought of his baby girl being picked up by hormonal boys on the first day back. So put on a jacket and take it off when the train pulls away."
Liz smiled and ran to her room to grab her new denim blazer.
In the cab, Liz took her black hair out of the braids she put in hours earlier and shook out the waves the braids created. She wasn't even wearing her make up yet. Harry just might have a stroke. But she still looked too fabulous for words. She couldn't wait to see her cousins and friends.
James sat back looking nervous. Ginny stroked his head.
On the platform, Liz ran up to Molly Weasley and jumped into her arms.
"Elizabeth, don't hurt Grandma." Ginny warned.
"Oh no, sweetheart, it's quite alright." Molly said happily, squeezing Liz. "You guys are early. No one is here yet. Liz, baby, you look amazing." Molly added, positioning her grand daughter out in front of her." At sixty-two, Molly was still amazing with kids.
Arthur gave Liz a good look. He didn't say anything but you could tell his thoughts were the same as Harry's. Molly gave him a warning look.
Liz went back to her trolley and looked at her snowy white owl she'd had for three years now. "Ready for another year, Emma?" she asked. Emma hooted happily. Liz picked up her owl's cage and one of her bags. "Daddy!" she called.
Harry immediately went over to get the two remaining bags. The cart rolled itself over to the side and Harry and Lily put her things on the ground. James did the same. His pitch black owl Taboo was sleeping so he gently placed the cage on the ground and put his two blue bags and his new crisp Hogwarts bag on the floor. Liz's bag had 3/8/92 written in pink marker in one corner and she had charmed the Gryffindor crest on one side and the Hogwarts crest on the other.
Lilly had moved from Ginny's arms to Molly's and Ginny was happy watching her baby being held. Harry walked over and put his arms around Ginny's waist. Ginny smiled and looked at her bump. "I can't wait." She said. Ginny loved kids as much as Molly did, and Harry didn't mind at all. He always got help and loved each of his children more each day.
Suddenly Shannon Adele Weasley and her twin Blake Michael burst through the barrier.
"Hello all." Blake said cheerfully. He was a spitting image of Ron and somehow had Fred and George's constantly cheerful attitude. He also had their view on life. Everything was a joke.
Shannon smiled at everyone. She was gorgeous, a picture of Hermione, but with Ron's eyes. Being his first girl, Ron catered to her the way Harry catered to Liz. Shannon liked a good joke here and there and she was extremely sarcastic like her father, but she thought studies came first as her mother did.
Hermione and Ron came through next. Ron was pushing Shannon's trolley but Hermione was looking daggers at Blake.
"Did you think I'd get your things for you? Need I remind you I am carrying your brother!" she hissed. One year old Matthew John clapped and giggled, clearly unaware that his nice mommy was angry.
Blake ran back through the barrier and came back with his trolley. "Sorry mum." He said too happily.
Hermione scoffed and started muttering something. Blake vaguely made out the words "Your uncles"
"Bit moody lately, eh?" Blake muttered to Shannon and Liz when they were huddled together, letting the adults talk. Liz and Shannon exchanged knowing looks. Blake, being thirteen and male, hadn't noticed.
Before anything else could be said, Joshua Thomas Weasley, Misty Emily, and Sarah Rachel ran through the barrier. Bill and Fleur came through after them, each holding one if Steve's hands. Steve was three and had taken his first few steps the week before. Bill and Fleur encouraged walking by dragging him everywhere they went and making sure they pulled him along instead of carrying him.
Josh, Misty, and Sarah joined their cousins in the huddle and exchanged hugs.
They all watched people start to pile into the platform. A few girls smiled at Josh. Misty rolled her eyes. She looked disgusted until some guys stopped short to look at her. Josh and Misty were part Veela, and they had most of their mother's features, so everyone wanted to date them. It was rather strange as it didn't really apply for guys, but Josh proved that a myth. Sarah was a little jealous of her older siblings. She had read hair and green eyes and was still stunning, but not as much Veela was in her.
"Liz looks cute." Bill said to Ginny. Ginny smiled but Harry glared at him.
"Don't encourage them." He muttered. Bill smiled.
Note: This chapter isn't done and the story will be getting a lot better. Also, I'm sorry for the extra cheesy title. I really couldn't think of anything else. Hope you like and please review! Even if you hate it tell me what you think. Thanks, TTYL!
