Chapter 3

Lily waited impatiently in the headmistress's office; she and the rest of her cousins still at Hogwarts were going home for the weekend to see their new baby niece. Victoire had delivered a baby girl late the night before, and since the next day was Friday they were let out as soon as lessons were over and would be going home for the weekend. Lily noticed that Dominique and Louis were the most impatient, but of course they would be, it was their actual niece. Though she was as good as an actual niece to all of the cousins, Dominique and Louis were the actual aunt and uncle of the baby girl.

"Alright," said McGonagall's voice. "I've got everything ready; you all will be traveling by portkey to the burrow." She placed a tin can on the desk and everyone put their finger on the glowing can. Soon they were all toppled together on the floor of the burrow after an unpleasant portkey experience. Lily got herself up and saw that the only people in the room were molly and max. Molly as everyone was disappointed to find out, had gotten pregnant before her and max were married, she was now around five months pregnant, due in July. The group didn't have to wait long before bill came down the stairs smiling.

"Ready to see her?" he asked everybody. They all nodded and followed him back up the stairs. They walked up the stairs and looked into teddy and Victoire's room, Vicky was sitting on the bed holding a yellow bundle of blankets. Dominique and Louis went over first.

"What's her name?" Dominique asked.

"Andromeda Dominique." Victoire answered smiling. Dominique could no longer control herself, she let out a squeal.

"Really Vic? You named her after me?" she asked looking happier than ever.

"Yes it's kind of a tradition to name the child after their godparent." Teddy said smirking as Dominique froze in the middle of her happy dance.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" she squealed hugging teddy because Victoire still had the baby. "Can I hold her?" she asked.

"Are you sure your calm enough?" Victoire asked skeptically. Dominique nodded holding her arms out for the tiny baby. Victoire smiled and carefully passed her the child. Soon the entire group had filed through to see the baby.

The rest of the weekend was spent at the burrow, they played a lot of quidditch since they would be missing quidditch practice while they were away, and all of the cousins were thoroughly wrapped around baby Andromeda little finger.

When it was time to leave Sunday night the group going back to Hogwarts stood waiting by the fireplace saying their goodbyes. Lily hugged her parents.

"And you are coming to my last quidditch match, right?" lily asked.

"Of course Hun, we will try to come to all of the quidditch matches." Ginny said hugging her daughter. Lily smiled at her parents and went to hug her grandmother before leaving.

"Bye nana molly." She said as her grandma pulled her into a tight hug.

"Goodbye lily dear." She said. "Ill sees you at the end of the year."

Soon everyone had said their goodbyes and was flooing to McGonagall's office at Hogwarts.

"So where did you two go over the weekend?" Cynthia, another girl in lily and Lucy's year and house, asked when the two first year Slytherins came back to their dormitory.

"We went to visit our cousin, she just had a baby." Lily answered. She liked Cynthia, she was one of the only Slytherins that were much like herself and actually were kind of nice.

"Ooh really? Do you have some pictures?" Cynthia asked. Lily nodded and took out a picture of a tiny baby girl with color changing hair in her parents' arms. "She's a metamorphagus?"

"Yup just like her daddy." Lucy answered.

"Awww. What's her name?" Cynthia asked.

"Andromeda Dominique lupin." Lily said smiling.

"Don't you have a cousin Dominique in Gryffindor?" she asked.

"Year its Vic's sister, she's the godmother." Cynthia looked a bit confused.

"She's her sister?" she asked pointing at the picture. "But they look nothing alike. And isn't she only like a fourth year? How can she be godmother?"

"one yes they're sisters, Vic looks just like her mum and Dom looks just like her dad, two yes she is a fourth year but she's fifteen already, and she's older than Louis and Vicky wanted one of her siblings to be godparent." Lucy said.

"Lily!" called another voice. "You missed quidditch practice Friday and Saturday!" it was the team captain Jennifer weekly.

"I know jen but I was home for a family matter and I did practice quidditch while I was out. I do have a family full of Quidditch nuts; we most likely practiced more than I would have here." Lily snapped. She really had a short temper with jen, she was always on her case because so much of her family was on the Gryffindor team, lily was sure she thought she would go easy on them. As if a bludger to the head from her cousin wasn't enough to prove that going easy wasn't in the dictionary of any of her family.

"Good so you'll know their tactics." Jen asked.

"Jen I've known their tactics since I was old enough to know what flying was." Lily said looking annoyed. Jen huffed and left the room.

"The last quidditch match of the season! Slytherin vs. Ravenclaw!" Frankie commented. The weasley's and the potters were divided between cheering for Slytherin or Ravenclaw. So in the end James, Albus, Lucy, rose, Hugo, molly, teddy, and their parents were supporting Slytherin for lily and Fred, Roxanne, Dominique, Victoire and their parents were supporting Ravenclaw for Louis. Many of the Ravenclaws glared at the Slytherin supporting weasley's. And potters.

"What she's our baby sister?" James shrugged, "do you expect me to root against her?"

"That's what your cousins are doing." Said the Ravenclaw.

"And I thought Ravenclaws were the smart ones." James muttered before turning back to the Ravenclaws. "Yes because our other cousin Louis is on the team." They just huffed and turned away. "Plus Uncle George, Fred, and Roxanne are intentionally giving her a hard time with being a Slytherin."

"That's right!" Fred and George said together. Angelina rolled her eyes at her husband and stepson, sure she was supporting Ravenclaw for Louis but she wasn't giving her niece a hard time just because she was in another house.

"It's starting!" Hugo shouted as the 14 players rose into the air, they were off. It was a long match too. It was nearly and hour before lily caught the snitch, but it certainly wasn't the first time she had seen it, the first time there had been a penalty and the snitch had been lost in the confusion, the next time she was intentionally blocked and had to swerve out of the way losing the snitch for nearly a half hour.

"Ready to lose your first match Lil?" came the voice of her cousin who played seeker on the other team. He was flying next to her tailing her.

"Nope don't think so." she responded cheekily. "What about you are you ready to lose?" Louis rolled his eyes,

"No way." He said.

"To bad." Lily smirked diving quickly before Louis even knew what happened. Of course he chased after her but her broom was just slightly faster, both cousins were reaching for the snitch at the same time when lily felt her hand close on the small golden ball. She sailed upwards on her broom; Louis was taken by surprise and nearly hit the ground. Luckily he swerved up just in time.

"Lily that was amazing!" lily was now being engulfed by her cousins, aunts, uncles, and parents.

"And here I was thinking I'd never be happy with a Slytherin victory." Ron was saying hoisting his niece into the air.

"What about when we beat Hufflepuff?" she asked.

"Well year there was that but I'm just saying." Ron said. The family laughed all – except Louis – enjoying Slytherins victory.
