They stood in front of a simple semi-detached home in Cambridge. Mr Weasley was attempting to discover what the button beside the door did. He'd pressed it twice already and was very swiftly moving towards pressing it repeatedly.
The door opened. "Come on in then." A gruff man told them. They entered the house. Ron's wife, Hermione, was stood at the end of the hallway. She walked into the sitting room when she saw Ron. Mr Weasley ushered them all in after her.
Rose sat beside Hermione and Hugo sat next to his Grandmother. Ron sat next to his father. Mr Granger entered the room. "So, what are all your names then?" Rose jumped slightly. Mr Weasley answered for them. Mr Granger continued to interrogate them. Eventually he came to the marriage of his daughter.
"I won't be having my daughter married off like this at eleven. That lady who came from the school never said anything about this. Is this what your kind do, marry off their kids at eleven? I won't stand for it."
"Ah, well this is an odd situation. There's a hearing tomorrow actually and it could be possible that the marriage is reversed. We don't actually know what exactly caused the marriage. We believe that when Rose and Hugo came back in time they brought the marriage with them."
"Will we be at the hearing?" Mrs Granger asked. Mr Weasley shook his head. Muggles wouldn't be allowed inside the ministry building. Mr Granger growled slightly. "If these kids are our grandchildren then why do they act like they don't know us?"
Mr Weasley looked at Rose and Hugo. They looked terrified. "I don't know. They knew who I was. Perhaps you look different in the future." Neither Hugo nor Rose would look at Mr Granger at all. Perhaps something had happened to the Grangers in the future.
Mr Granger was frustrated that he wasn't getting any answers. "You girl. Don't you recognise me?" He shouted. Rose trembled. She shook her head. "Why not, aren't you my granddaughter?"
"You said to mummy that magic was evil, you said that a witch can't be your daughter." She whispered into the room. Hermione's face went pale.
"Why would I say that?" Mr Granger's voice was calmer.
"She fought in the war and because she was in charge you had to hide and she, she changed your memories so no one could ever find you. When she gave them back you hated magic and you never ever talked to mummy again." Her face was pressed into Hermione's arm.
The room was silent. "That settles it then. I don't want my daughter married to your lot. I don't want to see you again after tomorrow." Ron had gone red with anger. Ginny was married to Harry bloody Potter but he couldn't even be allowed to keep his marriage. He was older than Ginny!
Mr Weasley seeing Ron's building anger decided that it was about time to leave. He stood and led the children from the house. When they returned to the Burrow, Rose was in tears and Ron's anger spilled forth. "Why am I not allowed to be married, even if Hermione's a stuck up know-it-all, Ginny is married to Harry Potter and I don't get to be married at all! That's unfair, she's still only a baby!" His mother dragged him to his room by his ear, reprimanding him the whole way.
Mr Weasley picked up Rose and started to calm her gently. Hugo slipped outside to talk to Albus and the others.
Albus and James had spent the morning racing and teasing Lily while Lily had been talking to the gnomes. Whenever the teasing turned hurtful Harry or Ginny would tell off the boy who'd gone too far and Lily would curl up between them. Harry and Ginny had spent the morning talking about Hogwarts and the hearing the next day. They'd agreed that it would be best for the family to stick together but they were worried that the ministry might think they weren't old enough to look after the children.
There also wasn't much space in the Burrow for everyone. The children had told them the day before that they lived in Potter Manor but Ginny was sure that her mum would never let them live on their own, especially not while she was still nine. They'd also been deciding whether they'd ask Professor Dumbledore for a room for married couples this year and all stay at Hogwarts or if Ginny would stay with the kids alone at the Burrow and then they'd all come the year after.
They were already very attached to their children. They'd also been attempting to master their newly discovered ability to share sight. Besides tripping over while racing James and Albus; because Harry had turned to look at Ginny and shared sight while turning around, they hadn't managed to do it again.
Hugo came over to them all looking rather forlorn. "What's wrong Hugo? I thought you'd be at your Grandparents' house all day." Ginny asked him. He sat down beside Ginny.
"We did go to their house but Grandad Granger got really angry and now he doesn't want mummy and daddy to be married. And daddy's really angry now too. And Grandad said that tomorrow mummy and daddy will stop being married. But if mummy and daddy aren't married anymore then where will Rose and I go? I don't want anyone to take me away Aunty Ginny." He was snuggled into her side. She could see that he was tired.
Ginny picked up her nephew and put him between her and Harry. "You'll always be allowed to stay at the Burrow, Hugo. You and Rose. And Harry and I will both be here and so will all of your cousins. It'll be ok. Go on, go to sleep. We'll look after you Hugo." Harry looked at her with admiration in his eyes as Hugo slowly fell asleep with her arm held tight to his chest. He leant over and kissed her cheek. They both went bright red.
James, Albus and Lily giggled. Ginny shot a glare at them. "Thank you, Harry." They both lay down and edged closer. Then Harry's arm slipped over the top of Hugo and around Ginny. The rest of the kids snuggled up and they all slept in a big huddle in the middle of the paddock, tired from running all day.
Mr Weasley and Rose watched them all through the window. "I wish Uncle Harry and Ginny were my mummy and daddy too." Mr Weasley carried her out to the mound of sleeping Potters and Hugo. Then he rested Rose down beside her brother. She looked up at him in surprise before rolling over and climbing under Harry's arm to fall asleep with her body buried in the center of the huddle.
Remus Lupin and Teddy were stood in front of the home. Teddy had reverted to his two year old form in the hope that his mother and her family was more likely to accept him if he were younger. Remus knocked on the door. A woman with light brown hair opened the door. "Remus! I haven't seen you in years. And who is this lad? Introducing me to your son are you?" Remus went bright red.
Teddy giggled and his hair became the shade of the woman in the doorway's own hair. She was surprised, then she frowned at Remus. "Come inside. Nymphadora! Come downstairs!"
Remus sat in the sitting room, Teddy sat beside him. "What's up mum?" Nymphadora's voice came from the hallway.
"In here dear." Andromeda called back. Nymphadora walked into the room. Remus could see why he'd married her in the future already. Her slender frame and delightfully vivid hair was very appealing, as was the humour hidden within her face, he knew she'd make a good marauder.
"What's up?" Then she saw Remus. "Oh Remus has a son. Hey there little one, aren't you a cutie?" Teddy's hair went bubble-gum pink. He giggled. When Nymphadora looked at her mother, Teddy stuck his tongue out at Remus.
"Behave yourself Teddy." He whispered in reply. He looked back up to see that Ted had joined his family. Nymphadora was blushing.
"Your son is a metamorphagus." Andromeda said. "May I know the mother? I know that the trait is not from your side of the family." Remus blushed slightly.
"I believe you've already worked that out Andromeda."
"I haven't pushed out any kids!" Nymphadora shouted. She blushed even deeper at her exclamation.
Remus was surprised to find his own blush deepen. "Not yet you haven't." He told her. "Teddy is from the future. But you are his mother." Nymphadora stepped closer. Teddy reached up for her. "You don't need her to pick you up Teddy, don't be a pain to your mother." He reprimanded the child. Teddy stuck his tongue out at Remus again and shifted into a bird. He retook human form when he was perched on Nymphadora's shoulder. He giggled at Remus.
Remus only sighed. "It could be worse, you know. Teddy here introduced himself to me last night." Andromeda's eyes widened.
"Last night was a…" Remus nodded. "But is he…?" Remus shook his head.
"I don't think so. If he is, he has a level of control over it that I've never heard of before."
"He is your son?" Remus nodded again. Teddy slipped off of his mother's shoulder and pulled her down beside Remus before sitting across both of their laps.
"And you're married." He told them.
"We don't know that yet Teddy."
"Yes we do. All the other parents are married so you two must be as well."
Nymphadora was still blushing. "Married?" Remus turned to look at her.
"He thinks so but we'd have to check the department of records if we wanted to know for sure."
Andromeda spoke up. "I'll visit after lunch. Why don't you and Teddy stay here until I come back?" Remus thanked her. Teddy dropped from their laps and pulled his mum and dad from the chair. He grew to be eight and pulled harder.
"Hurry up I want to show mum my wolf!" He ran off into the garden.
"Wolf?" Nymphadora turned to Remus.
"He showed it to me last night. His metamorphagus skills are very advanced, he can change age, become animals and change his general appearance." Remus shook his head. "His wolf form is rather cute. I mistook him for an actual wolf-cub last night."
Nymphadora's blush had died down. A mischievous grin spread across her face. "So you managed to corrupt little innocent me then. I wonder if you can do it again." She continued to walk, swaying her hips slightly. When she looked back she laughed at Remus' face. She could clearly see where he was looking.
She knew that if they were married, she'd have lots of fun teasing him.
