*The Ministry*

Harry Potter sighed, again, as he sat at his desk. It was the last day of July, and consequently his birthday as well. He didn't take the day off like everyone expected him to because he knew that it was going to be a big day. They had recently got word from one his undercover aurors in the United States that there was a big war going on and that it seemed like a big battle was supposed to happen any day. Seeing as he was the Head Auror, he couldn't quite understand how this has slipped him by for so many years. The only way he could see that it had was because someone didn't want him knowing and that upset him, a lot. He just didn't understand.

"Harry, I think it's time you leave and head home," A girl with black hair and blue eyes said as she stepped into his office, "Your wife and daughter gave me strict instructions not to let you stay past three and it's already three-thirty."

Harry once more sighed, knowing that fighting with the newest addiction to his family was a lost cause, he'd never win.

"Alright, Cassidy, I'll head home. You probably should too, we all know that my son is probably going nutters without you around to shield him from Ginny and Lily who have probably gone crazy with all the plans for my 'surprise' birthday party." Harry got up and made his way over to the girl, grabbing his coat along the way. The girl just laughed and shook her head.

"Harry, if anyone is going nuts, it's probably Ginny and Lily. Honestly, how that woman raised James and put up with him for all these is years is beyond me." Harry laughed at her statement and the two made their way out of his office and to the lift.

"The funny thing is Cassidy, since he met you he has calmed down, a lot. I heard the other day that he refused to help Fred with a prank because he knew you wouldn't approve." Harry told her. She laughed at that and rolled her eyes. Stepping out of this lift after it stopped and the door opened.

"Oh honestly, he is such a wimp sometimes. He'd rather see me happy than angry with him." She replied. Harry snorted.

"Of course he would. You remind me a lot of Ginny and we all know how her temper is. If yours is anything as close, I'd make sure your life was always rainbows and ponies."

Cassidy glared at him for a few seconds before her look faltered. She gave him a smile and said, "You're right. I kick butt when I'm angry; he should run away with his tail between his legs." Again, Harry snorted.

"I'll see you at your place tonight for the 'birthday dinner'! Love you Dad!" Cassidy said, giving him a hug. Harry smiled at her and hugged her back.

"Love you too, Cassie. Get home to my boy and keep him out of trouble."

Laughing, Cassidy nodded and apparated, disappearing. Harry followed her actions and apparated home.

*Grimmauld Place*

Harry appeared in the park across the street from his house. Walking up to the door, pushing it open, and entering the house, his nose was assaulted with smell of savory cooking and he smiled to himself. After he hung up his coat and took off his shoes, he headed to the kitchen, stopping that the door and leaning against the frame. He watched as his red-headed wife worked her way around the kitchen, do her very own dance that she loved. Suddenly she stopped swaying her hips and looked up at him.

"Enjoying the view?" She asked with a flirtatious smile.

"Oh, you know I am." He replied with a wink and a cheeky smile. He made his way over to her and grabbed her hips, pulling her to him. He slowly leaned down, his lips an inch from hers.

"Ewww! Mom! Dad! Get a room if your going to do that! We don't need to see it!" A voice shirked, interrupting their moment. They both looked up to see their four kids standing by the door way, Albus had his hands over his eyes. Lily smacked him across the head, giving him a look that could kill. James was trying to hold back his laughter, as was Cassidy.

"Al, grow up. We've seen them kiss hundreds of times." Lily said, scolding him. Ginny got this wicked smile on her face and a mischievous gleam came to her eyes.

"Kids, be happy all you see us do is kiss. We could be those horrible parents who talk about 'things' in front of you." Al groaned at him mom and turned around, prepared to leave. Lily rolled her eyes and James busted out laughing, amused by the situation.

"Cassidy, I thought I told you to go home." Harry asked as he let go of his wife and went to the stove, looking at what his wife was cooking.

"I did go home. But, someone though it'd be funny to make it so as soon as I apparated there, I'd have to apparate here." Cassidy replied while glaring at James, who just rubbed his neck sheepishly.

"Sorry babe. It's just- they were driving me nuts ya know. With all the planning…" They both walked out while he tried to explain his way out of the situation.

Harry was attempting to taste a bit of the soup that was being fixed, but was stopped by Ginny who smacked his hand and pushed him away.

"Go sit down, Harry. You'll get to taste it later, for the dinner." Ginny said, gesturing to the table. Harry did as he was told and sat down, joined by Lily and Albus who just walked back in.

"So, how was your day?" Harry asked no one in general. Lily smile and went into full explanation about her day spent with her cousins Roxanne, Rose, and Dominique, what she bought when she went shopping with them, and how they went over to the Burrow to help Grandma Weasley 'clean'. In reality, they all knew that Grandma Weasley needed no help cleaning, especially not from three teenage girls incapable of it, and what they really did was help set up for the party.

"What about you Albus? Meet any lucky lady today?" Harry asked, teasing him. Albus groaned and shook his head.

"Honestly dad. No lucky lady today. I'm a healer, it's not like I get to spend much time with girls who are conscious." Harry and Lily laughed at that.

"So nothing interesting?" Harry questioned.

"Actually, yeah something real interesting happened. A random girl showed up in the Lobby of St. Mungo's. No one knows where she came from; just that she appeared after a big flash of light. She a mess and they needed the best healers for it. She looked like she'd just been through a bloody war. It was scary. She looked scary." Albus shuddered when he thought of how she looked.

"Oh, that's horrible. Poor girl. Do you know who she is?" Lily asked in concern.

Albus shook his head no and replied, "We couldn't figure it out. No one brought her and there wasn't a port key with her. She has blonde hair and these bright purple eyes, you'd think they were glowing. I got to see her after she regained consciousness. She won't say anything though, only mutters about someone being gone. I think someone significant to her died. I feel really sorry for her."

Harry's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. He hadn't heard about anything like this in a while, not since the war had ended. A cup of pumpkin juice was set in front of him. Harry looked up and his eyes latched with Ginny's, hers full of worry, curiosity, and something he couldn't quite place, it almost seemed like hope.

"Purple eyes?" Ginny questioned as she looked to Albus with a questioning gaze.

"Yeah. They reminded me of an Amethyst stone…" He trailed off with a far away look in his eyes.

"There's only one person who I knew that had eyes like that and she died a bit after the second war started." Ginny said, looking at Harry. Harry's face paled and his mind went into overdrive.

"Amelia Malfoy. Draco's little sister." Harry stated.

"Yeah. She was actually a good friend of mine, basically my best friend. Beautiful girl with a beautiful heart. I never understood how she could've come out of the same house as Draco and be the way she was. Complete opposite I tell you." Ginny said with a smile and turned back to the stove to finish dinner.

"That's because she didn't. Remember? She had a different mom, Lucius had an affair and she was the product of it. Amelia lived with her mom in the United States. She went to Salem Institute for the first five years and switched over to Hogwarts to be closer to Draco during the war. She wanted to be there for him." Harry said while looking at Ginny and the kids.

"I still think she tried to convince Draco that there was more to life than what Lucius had planned for him. She never liked their father or what he believed in." A voice said from the doorway. Lily squealed and ran over to the witch that stood there.

"Aunt Hermione! What're you doing here?!" Lily asked as she squeezed the woman. Hermione laughed and hugged the girl back.

"I just came by to let Albus know that he was needed at work. Apparently the Jane Doe has finally said something else."

Albus perked up at this and looked at his Aunt, "What'd she say?" He asked her.

"Your name." She said while looking at Harry. Harry's jaw dropped and his eyes widened.

"My name?" He asked in shock. Hermione nodded her head solemnly.

"Well, dad is famous for saving the Wizarding World. It doesn't seem odd, especially if she just came out of a life threatening situation." Lily said logically. Hermione smiled softly at her and shook her head.

"I would think the same thing, Lily, under different circumstances. The problem is… she had an American accent." Hermione explained. Ginny gasped and looked at Hermione is shock.

"American?" She asked softly.

"Yeah, and she won't let anyone come in a five foot radius of her, not since Albus left." Hermione looked at him perplexed.

"What'd you do Albus? Kiss her?" Lily asked in a teasing tone. Albus shook his head.

"No…"

"Well, can I ask what you said to her?" Hermione asked.

"Well, I asked her what happened and where she hurt. There wasn't much of a response to anything. Though she did seem to react weirdly when I told her my name was Albus Potter and that I'd take care of her because us Potters' have a hero complex." He told Hermione. Hermione nodded her head.

"Well, it looks like you're coming with me to convince her to let others care for her." Hermione said standing up and heading for the door.

"Wait! How is she able to get people to stay away? Why not just take away her wand?" Ginny asked confused.

"That's where we are all confused. She doesn't have a wand and she isn't throwing people back or anything of that sort. She seems to have created an invisible barrier and no one can figure out how to get through." Hermione explained, watching Harry and Ginny share a look.

"Well, Albus, I think you should go. You too, Harry. See why you're so important to this girl." Ginny said. Lily nodded her head in agreement and stood up, leaving the room.

"Okay. Let's go then, want to be back in time for the party at the Burrow tonight." Harry said.

"Yeah, don't be late!" Ginny demanded.

"Wait a minute! How do you know there is a party for your birthday tonight?" Hermione asked incredulously.

"Seriously Aunt Hermione? We have one every year… Of course he knows about it." Albus said exasperatedly.

"Yeah, but it's still nice and polite to pretend to be surprised. I do every year and so…" Hermione walked out mumbling under breath. Rolling their eyes, Albus and Harry followed her.
