"Riley come back here!" A flustered Lavender called after her youngest daughter. The eleven year old red head stopped in her tracks. "How many times have I told you not to run around while we are in the muggle world?"
"At least a thousand mom." Riley smiled innocently at her mother
"Ri, wait until we reach Diagon Alley." Ron whispered in his daughters ear.
The Family of Five made there way up the street and into the Leaky Cauldron. Inside the Leaky Cauldron they spotted the other family . Ginny was sitting at the long table that occupied most of the room, Michael was next to her and they were talking in hushed sounds. Ellie was talking to Tom the Bar man.
"Had a good summer without me Ellie?" Riley said to one of her best friends
"Well no because you see I had to see you every day." A grin spred across the two girls faces and they fell into fits of laughter.
"Hello Gin." Ron greeted his sister and shook hands with Michael. Lavender and Ginny started chatting away.
"Lav, Michael and I have some pretty big news but we want to wait till Hermione and Draco get here."
"Oh my gosh Gin, are you-"
"Wait till Hermione and Draco get here, Ellie doesn't know yet."
Just than a squeal from near the door erupted and the three best friends were fully reunited. The Malyfoy's had just entered the Leaky Cauldron. A very very pregnant Hermione was glowing and Draco was carrying his youngest daughter Hera.
After everyone was seated and eating Ginny and Michael stood up.
"Everyone! Michael and I have some news " a hush fell over the table and everyone looked up at the two.
"We're having a Baby!" every one congratulated them and shook hands and hugs were given
"The second pregnancy is a bugger Gin, that's when it really hits your bladder." Hermione said, "and don't even get me going about the third." She smiled
"Hey" Draco said " I would gladly carry any child of ours"
Hermione raised an eyebrow, " Really, would you?"
He looked around the table at all the raised brows "No but I would gladly take the pain of child birth away from you if I could."
The adults continued chatting it up at their end of the table. Mean while the Children of Hogwarts age were having a discussion about houses.
"Riley you better be in Gryffindor, we will disown you if you're in Slythrine. " Brett and Lexi bot added
"What if I don't want to be in Gryffindor, what if I get put in Huffelpuff?"
"Riley both mom and dad were in Gryffindor so are Brett and I so all were saying is you better be in Gryffindor also." Lexi added
Riley turned to her best friends " You guys are so lucky you don't have older siblings. What houses do you want to be in?"
" Well" Ellie began " My mum was in Gryffindor, but my dad was in Ravenclaw. I really don't care what house I'm in just as long as I'm at Hogwarts." She finished
"Dawn what about you what house?"
"you guys will kill me but I knda want to be in Slytherin" she said in a quiet voice
"Why!" the two other girls demanded "The Darkest wizards come from Slytherin, everyone knows that"
"My dad was in Slytherin"
"Oh right sorry" the two girls said again
"Every Malfoy child has been in Slytherin my grandfather would disown me if I wasn't. he already bought me a Slytherin blanket."
Lavender had made her way down to the girls end of the table.
"Whose ready for some shopping?"
"We are!" the three responded together.
"Brett take Lexi and you two can go get whatever supplies you need we'll meet you two at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes'. " Ron gave his two oldest children a bag with some galleons, sickles, and knuts and they were off.
"What would you girls like to buy first?" Ginny asked
"Wands" they all answered together
"Ginny" Michale said "Ron, Draco, and I are going to the Quidditch shop; we will catch up with you later."
"You most certainly will not" All three wives snapped " these are your daughters first wands, you will come and watch them receive their first wands"
"Sweetheart" Draco whined "shopping is a girl thing and finding the first wand takes ages"
"I don't care if you have to sit and watches Dawn try every wand in the bloody shop" Hermione yelled he mood swing had gotten the better of her.
The group entered the new wand makers shop. They were greeted by Mr. Fregnhan
"Ah Its about time girls, I was wondering when I'd be seeing you three" (A/N: IMO all wand makers know everyone in the wizarding world) Mr. Fregnhan took the girls measurements and got them each a wand.
"For you Miss Malfoy, nine and a quarter inches made of Yule and holly, now give it a wave if you will" Dawn waved the wand and the mirror behind the counter split in two.
"maybe not" Mr. Fregnhan said " Here, Ten inches, made with dragon heart string" he handed the wand to the girl and she waved it and green sparks flew out of it. " I had a feeling that would be the wand for you. Mr. Malfoy answer me this question, does every child of the Malfoy blood line have a dragon heart sting wand?"
"Yes, I believe so" Draco answered. Draco pulled out his money bag and paied the man for his daughters wand. It was now Riley's turn
"Miss Weasley I remember the day your brother and sister got their wands, are the well?" Riley nodded " very good very good. Ah here you go love. Twelve inches, made of holly." Riley's fingers barely grasped the wand when it emitted red sparks. " I thought this would be the wand for you dear."
"Mr. Fregnhan, you are very good at this" lavender said " It took me ages to find my first wand"
"Well like you said Mrs. Weasley, I'm very good at what I do." Ron Paid the man for his daughters wand.
"Now last but not least Miss Corner" Mr. Fregnhan handed Ellie wand after wand but none seemed to be just right. Finally after various effects of bad wands including a broken window, a tear in Ginnys dress, and a blue stain on the floor Mr. Fregnhan believed he found the right one.
"I wonder, I wonder if this one would do the trick." He handed her a long wand " Thirteen and three quarter inches, made of oak and a clipping of devils snare with a core of the stinger of a practically nasty Blast-ended skrewt."
"You can make wands out of those?" Ron asked
" Yes but not many wands are made with this core, I know of only three, that is why this is most intriguing . Go on miss give it a flick."
Ellie obliged and a mixture of yellow and blue sparks rocketed from the tip. Michael paid for the wand and the group left the shop and continued with their shopping. Dawn, Riley, and Ellie walked behind their parents. Hera ( dawns younger sister) had tried to walk with them but Dawn would not allow it. They were conversing what happened in the wand shop in whispers so not to attract the attention of their parents just a few feet in front of them.
"Why was your wand so interesting?" Riley asked
"Ri, I have no idea, your guess is as good as mine." Ellie didn't seem as bothered by the news that she had just recived a very "intriguing" wand as the other two girls were
"I think Mr. Fregnhan finds it so interesting because there are only three wands out there with the same core, which means if those three w ands ever meet then they will not work properly together because the are brothers." Dawn stated matter of factly
"How the Bloody hell do you know so much about wands Dawn?" Ellie asked
" Ellrenda Rae!" Ginny turned around " Watch your language"
"Uncle Ron says it all the time mum!" Ellie retorted
"Ellie do you know what this means?" riley asked
"No, enlighten me Riley what does it mean."
"You could have like super amazing powers." Riley finished
"Doubt that, if any of us has the amazing powers its Dawn, she's such a book worm." Ellie said
"Hey, you learn a lot form reading." The three girls giggled and continued shopping
A week had passed since the school shopping and it was a week until the girls were due to board platform 9 ¾ . Dawn, Riley, and Ellie were all up in Ellie's room. They were having their last sleep over before they would be at Hogwarts.
"What's the one thing you won't miss when your at school?" Dawn asked
"I know I wont miss my mums constant need to smother me. I know I'm the youngest but I need space." Riley said " What about you Ellie
" I really wont miss being the center of my parents attention, that's why I'm kinda happy my moms having a baby. The brat will take their attention off of me." Ellie smiled as she said this " How about you Dawn? What won't you miss?"
"Dinner with the Grandparents, I just feel so uncomfortable around them-" Dawns sentence was cut off by the sound of Ginny's voice on the floor below them.
"Ellie" "Real" and "Father" were the only coherent words.
"Riley, pass me that extendable ear." Ellie said. Ellie fed the one end of the ear out of her bed room door and it inched it's self down the hall and to the top of the stairs. They could now properly listen in on the conversation below them.
"Michael Ellie can't know" Ginny sounded close to tears
"Gin I think its time, Ellie's a smart girl do you really want her to figure it out on her own?" Michael was trying to be calm
"No. She was never supposed to know"
"Why don't you want her to know?"
"She doesn't need to know that that piece of scum is her father." Ginny shouted this time so loudly that they wouldn't have needed the extendible ears
"Ginny keep your voice down the girls are up stairs"
"He wants her to come visit before she leaves for school."
"He has a right Gin" Michael said
"I can't face him again, I won't take her." Ginny was now sobbing into her hands
"Than I'll take her"
"You don't have to, she's not even your daughter."
"No Ginny she's not but I love her like she is my own flesh and blood. I will take her and I will protect her if that scum bad Zacharias Smith tries anything."
The girls released the extendible ear and Riley and Dawn turned to look at Ellie who had turned the color equivalent to that of a ghost.
"Ellie-"
"they have been lying to me for eleven years. Who the hell is my father"
