Chapter Two: Potters

"Wake up!" Lily and Karen yelled as they burst into Harry and Ginny's room. They jumped onto the bed and began shaking the two. Ginny, who had been curled up against Harry's chest, groaned loudly. Harry, who was holding Ginny tightly to him, grumbled under his breath.

"Get up," Lily whined as she shook Ginny harder.

"It's time to eat," Karen told them as she continued to shake Harry.

The young couple both muttered something incoherent and moved closer to the other. "Da!" Lily whined. The girls had taken a habit to calling Harry 'Da' and Ginny "Mama.' It had made them nervous at first but they quickly got used to the idea of being actual parents.

"What?" Harry mumbled as he rolled onto his back.

"It's time to eat, everyone is waiting downstairs," Karen told him as she reached for his glasses. Harry accepted them with a nod and slipped them onto his face.

"Alright, alright," Ginny moaned as she sat up. "Bring my brush, your hair is a mess, both of yours."

Lily laughed as she ran over to the dresser. Ginny was sitting fully up now, pushing the blanket away from her. Harry leaned up on his elbow, watching the girls and Ginny. Karen was the first to get her hair done, making Lily complain. Ginny laughed as she began to brush the young girls hair. Karen laughed as she stuck her tongue out at her sister, who was pouting. Harry beckoned her over and she moved to sit by Harry.

"Alright Karen, up or down?"

"Up," she said with a smile. Ginny pulled back her hair and tied it back.

"All done," Ginny said as she kissed the top of her head. Karen moved to sit where Lily was at and Lily moved to Karen's spot. She began to brush the other girls hair like she had Karen's. "Alright up or down?"

"Down," Lily said as she smirked at her sister, who stuck her tongue out at her.

"Alright, wait outside while we change," Harry told them as he gently pushed them towards the door.

"Fine but you have ten minutes," Lily said sternly as her and Karen raced for the door, closing it behind them.

"Did they just tell us what to do?" Harry asked confused.

"I believe they did. Well Harry, we better listen to them and get ready."

Harry groaned as he pulled Ginny back to him, holding her to his chest. "I don't want to," he whispered into her ear.

Ginny smiled and curled closer to him. "Maybe before this whole war gets too hard to handle we can go on a sort of vacation."

"The girls would love that," he told her quietly.

"So would I."

"You have three minutes!" Lily cried through the door.

The two laughed as they got up and got ready. Ginny was the first to appear at the door, pulling her hair up into a messy bun. She smiled down at the girls, lifting Lily up into her arms. Harry came out, pulling his shirt over his head as he bent to let Karen onto his back.

"Tell us the way," Harry said to the girls.

"Just follow us," Lily called back from where Ginny held her.

Do you know what time it is? Ginny questioned him.

About seven why?

Well I am still going with Lucile to help with the evacuations. Please remember to have the girls brush their teeth, hair, and get changed.

I won't forget, they always do when I put them to bed.

That's because you let them stay up a few extra hours, she said as she shot a glare back at him, which made him laugh.

"What did she say?" Karen whispered to him.

"That I let you two stay up longer so that you two can get what you need to done."

"That's just because Mum makes us go to bed too early," Karen said indigently.

"I do not," Ginny said over her shoulder.

"Do too," all three of them called at once, making them laugh.

Ginny turned to glare at Harry. "Well fine you two can stay up as long as your father says its fine," she turned to smirk at Harry. "Of course that means you two will be spending that time with him and I will be sleeping by myself."

Harry straightened up immediately as he caught her hint. "I think you girls should listen to her," he said quickly.

"But Da!" They both whined.

"Sorry but rules are rules."

That's what I thought, she told him.

That's not funny.

I thought it was, besides you can't let them run all over you Harry. If you allow that now, what will you do when we have more kids?

I never thought of that.

Of course you didn't but that's fine. We still have time before we have kids.

Harry grinned as he moved to walk with her, one of his hands moving to her bum. I am perfectly content with that, he told her as he kissed her on the lips.

Ginny laughed. I'll bet you are. "How much further Lily?" She asked as she pulled away from Harry's reach.

"Just down the hall," Lily said promptly. Before they reached the door a young woman with black hair emerged.

"You must be Harry and Ginny, my name is Elizabeth."

"Pleasure to meet you," Ginny said as she offered her hand. Elizabeth gladly took it.

"Nice to meet you as well. It's nice to see there are still Potters floating around. Mum and Da are waiting in the dining room. Beware, my younger siblings can be quite a handful."

"Don't worry I have six older brothers, it's nothing new," Ginny told her.

"Six?" She said with a shocked expression on her face.

"She's the youngest of seven, but by far the smartest," Harry put in.

"Definitely."

The five of them headed into the noisy dining room. Lucile sat beside her husband, a man with short, straight black hair. Three children sat around the table. A young girl, who was no older than fourteen, with long, blonde hair. Then there were the two sons. One of them had blonde hair and was about twelve, while the other had black hair.

They all looked up as they entered the room. Harold got to his feet, his eyes wide. "You look just like James," he said breathlessly.

Harry smiled. "So I've been told. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Pleasure is all mine. It's good to finally see another Potter around."
"Likewise. This is my fiancé, Ginny Weasley. My girls, Lily and Karen."

"Welcome to our home. Please sit, join us."

"Thank you," Ginny said with a smile.

"This is my daughter Michelle, my son Ralph and Jeremy."

"Pleasure to meet you," Ginny and Harry said together, to which the kids nodded.

"Well let's enjoy our dinner," Lucile said as the family dug into their food.

Dinner was an enjoyable affair. Talk filled the room.


"I am off," Lucile said after a while. "We've got over twenty cities to evacuate, Muggle and magical."

"I'd like to join you if you wouldn't mind?" Ginny asked as she set Lily down in another seat.

"Are you sure? You should probably rest up some more."

"No, it's fine. I have it planned, I do not mind. I've called two friends to come help assist, they will be of great help."

"Then I am glad to have you come along with us," Lucile said with a smile. She looked at her husband. "We will be home when we can."

"I know," he said with a sad smile.

"Mother, can I come?" Elizabeth asked.

"I don't think you should come," Lucile said with a frown.

Harry tickled Karen in his lap, making her laugh happily. He pulled on Ginny's hand, drawing her closer.

"Mum please? I am of age now, can't I come help?"

"Harold?" Lucile asked her husband.

"She has the right my dear but it is up to you. Alright children off to the study, you have work to do."

"But Dad!" They all moaned together as they hurried from the room.

"Alright but you had better stay close," Lucile warned. Lucile pulled Harold from the room. Elizabeth hurried from the room herself, going to get what she needed.

"Why don't you two head to your room and I will be up there in a minute?" Harry questioned the girls.

"Bye Mum," they said together as they hugged Ginny. She laughed and kissed them on the head.

"Behave yourselves," Ginny said warningly as she pushed the girls off.

"We will!" They called as they hurried out of the room. When the door closed Ginny turned to face Harry, who was gazing right back at her.

Who did you invite to come? He asked her.

Hermione and Pansy are coming to help out. Pansy said she needs a bit of a break and wants to help all she can. Hermione has been tied down and needs a bit of fieldwork.

That's true. I don't blame them for needing some more work.

Yes, we've been working ourselves to death, we need a break.

We will have our break, I promise love. Once the cities are evacuated we can take some time off for a few days.

Ginny smiled as she walked over to Harry. He pulled her down into his lap, wrapping his arms around her. She snuggled up against his chest and let out a contented sigh.

You will be safe won't you?

I will Harry.

I don't want to lose you, he told her quietly.

You won't lose me Harry. I'm not going anywhere, especially not without you.

He smiled slightly and lifted her head up to look at him. I love you.

I love you too, she said with a smile as she leaned up to kiss him, her arms sliding around his waist. It was a few minutes before the two pulled apart, panting heavily.

If anything happens-

I'll come home immediately. Don't worry Harry, Dementors fear phoenixes. That's what we are, that's what I am.

I know but I can't help worrying, with so many. We are animagus they could not see that you are a phoenix at first.

Then it will be their fault. Our flames can kill them, so that means one less then before.

Harry smiled as he held her closer. "Well just remember to have your wand in reach at all times."

"I will, I will. Make sure that the girls don't start with those spells. I told Mum not to teach them those."

He chuckled quietly. "They won't. They will be studying for the better part of the night any way. I still need to go over a few things with them in the next couple of weeks."

"Don't overwork the girls, they are six you know."

"And have a good handle on small spells. I won't overdo it, besides it's mainly research."

Ginny snorted but smiled none the less. "Alright but you know how they get."

"The same as you do when you don't want to work."

She stuck her tongue out at him. "I better go, take care Harry."

"Take care Ginny," he said before kissing her. With a sigh she pulled away from him completely and the two headed for the door.

In the hall Elizabeth stood waiting for them. Lucile and Ginny entered the hall at the same time. The men watched as the three headed to the fireplace to floo back to the office. Once they were gone the men both let out a sigh.

"Hard isn't it?" Harry asked quietly. "Watching your loved one go to impending doom, now I really know how Ginny feels when I head off."

"It's hard that's true. We just have to let them do what they can do to help out. I would go but someone has to watch the kids. We used to both go before my mother passed away, so we take turns doing things," Harold said sadly. "That's what I get for marrying a woman from the states. I'm proud of her though, becoming the head of the ministry here. She's earned it. Raising four children, dealing with my Auror job, and her own."

"She's quite something," Harry said with a smile. "Ginny is almost a year younger than I am and she is almost as strong as I am. When I was just sixteen, my aunt died, leaving me care over my two cousins. Ginny didn't have to take care of them or anything like that but she did it. She loves those girls just about as much as I do and they love her as well. We plan to go traveling once this is all through."

"You two have definitely earned it. Your parents would be very proud of you Harry, with all you've accomplished."

Harry smiled. "I'm sure they are. I just can't wait till I can finally marry her."

Harold laughed and clapped him on the shoulder. "You've gotten yourself quite a catch. Us Potters always had a thing for redheads. Just look at Lucile, she's more of a strawberry blonde but still red enough."

Harry laughed as well. "Well as I've been told, only red heads can handle us Potters."

"That is all to true. Well I have to go teach my kids."

"Same here," Harry said as the two went their separate ways. Lily and Karen were already set up in their room, their books spread out before them. "Alright girls," he said as he sat down with them.

They all dived into the books before them, falling into a silence as they worked for a bit. Harry asked them questions as they worked, to which they answered with ease.

"Da?" Lily asked.

"What is it?" He questioned, turning his gaze on the small red head.

"Why did Mum have to leave?"

"She has a lot of work to do is all."

"But I heard you two talking about Dementors. Grandma told us about them," Karen said quietly.

"Why would she have to go fight them?" Lily asked concerned.

"Come here," Harry said as he pulled their chairs towards him, wrapping an arm around each of them. "I know you two are worried about her, I am too, but she is a strong woman and can handle things on her own. She's going to go save hundreds of people's lives, it's a choice she made and we have to respect that decision."

"But isn't it dangerous?" Karen asked.

Harry sighed. "It's very dangerous, especially if they attack. But she will be fine, she has Aunt Hermione and Aunt Pansy with her if she needs any help."

"How come you didn't go?" Lily asked now. "Didn't you want to go?"

He gave the girls a weak smile. "I do want to go, I don't want to see people hurt because of Voldemort. But I wanted to stay with you two as well. You are very important to Ginny and I and we don't want anything to ever happen to either of you."

"Well we could have stayed here, you could have gone," Karen put in quietly.

"As safe as it is here, I would still feel more comfortable being here to keep an eye out for you two. This is a war girls and there is nothing that will stop us from keeping an eye on you."

They both nodded their heads meekly. "We still wish she was here," Lily whispered.

"I know girls, I do too. But she will be safe," Harry told them praying that she would, in fact, be all right.


6 A.M.

"This the last city?" Hermione asked warily. They had spent almost ten hours evacuating all the cities. There were over six hundred wizards helping with the evacuation, all from across the states.

Pansy collapsed beside Hermione, grinning slightly at the girl. "Well if George hadn't tired you out before hand you would- Hey what did you do that for?"

Hermione grinned at the girl, setting her hand back down on her lap. "You aren't so innocent yourself you know."

"I never said I was," Pansy said with a smug smile on her face.

Ginny laughed at the two as she sat down with them. "Sleep deprivation does a lot to you two."

Both girls grinned. "And how much sleep do you manage?" Pansy asked with a raised eyebrow.

Ginny grinned. "We do have children to take care of and training to get done. Like we have any time alone."

"You two can always make time," Hermione put in. "Trust me, George always makes time."

"Too much information," Ginny said with a look of disgust on her face.

"Oh grow up," she said playfully. "You two do make time don't you?"

"I make time. After that long wait and all. The girls are with him right now."

"That's good, he doesn't get as much time with them as you do," Pansy said as she stretched out her limbs.

"No, he has more work to do then I do. So we rotate tasks so we can both get time with them."

Both girls nodded their heads. "How are you three holding up?" Lucile asked as her and Elizabeth approached.

"Great," they said dully.

"Well the last of the people are on their way out of the city so we are almost done."

"Good," Ginny said while covering a yawn.

"Definitely," Pansy agreed.

Elizabeth collapsed beside them, stretching out beside Ginny. "So many people," she said quietly as she shook her head.

"Yes, well just think what would have happened if they had attacked," Hermione said slowly.

All five fell silent, thinking of the horrors that would have come from such an action.

It took all of them a moment to realize the chill that now settled across the area. Many witches and wizards were looking around frantically, not sure what was going on.

"DEMENTORS!" Ginny screamed as she realized what was going on. Hermione, Pansy, and Elizabeth were all on their feet in a second, brandishing their wands. "Lucile, send the word, I want everyone grouped up and ready for this. We can't lose people now."

Lucile nodded and got to work spreading the news.

It wasn't long before the people were all grouped in the area, wands held tightly in their hands. The chill began to settle in and the fog began to envelope the area.

That's when they saw the first Dementor coming towards them.
