Hermoine lay in bed relishing in the fact that it was quiet . She sighed it was bittersweet she missed her little Girl. Her beautiful bright ,daughter who could make you feel better just by looking in your direction . She smiled and pulled herself out of bed . Ready to make breakfast . Pancakes were in order it was a Saturday morning despite the fact kids had just started/gone back to school . They were lucky they had a weekend as soon as they started . She began busting around the kitchen humming to herself .
" Morning ,oh pancakes ,can I help?"
" Morning Harry and no last time you helped you managed to blow up the kitchen!"
" Hey it was fixed in 5 minutes ..."
" But we still had no breakfast!" Hermoine interjected .
" Alright Alright ," Harry held his hands in mock surrender .While Hermoine shot him a pointed look. Staying with the whole family was usually a summer tradition. It had spilled out into September when Teddy started . A few more weeks where you could get used to having one less child. The parents saw each other most days at work Harry and Ron had the same office which surprise surprise meant they were always behind on paperwork . Hermoine worked in the Magical enforcement office a few doors down and kept the boys in check . She had been named as one of the most influential people in the Wizarding world .
" Good morning Harry ," Ron spoke with yawn , "and how is my amazing wife this fine morning?" Asked Ron while pecking her lightly on the lips ,
" Ewww" Moaned Hugo from the doorway . Harry and Ron laughed while Hermoine just looked embarrassed
" Relax were married its not like our parents caught us ," This earned a smile from Hermoine
" I'm fine" she smiled before adding ,"Hugo can you set the table please " Hermoine asked .Hugo rolled his eyes while muttering something that was in no doubt rude .
" Remember mum has eyes in the back of her head do that again and no flying for a week ." warned Hermoine
" Mum..."
" Go now!" Hermoine sternly spoke .
" Dad !" a whining voice came down the stairs .
" Oh the joys of having kids " Harry muttered
" Dad Teddy stole my wand ," Lily whined
" Teddy get down here!"
" Yes ," Teddy asked with an innocent look on his face
" Will you please give your sister back her wand ."
" Well only if she promises to stop hexing me ,"
" Teddy she is 9 I am sure she doesn't mean two and its only a training wand."
lilly smiled smugly at Teddy and kissed her dad on his check
" thank you Daddy,"
Lilly was the youngest of all her family and the smallest she had everyone wrapped around her little finger .Well almost everyone. Hermoine and Lilly didn't get along all that well . Mainly because Lilly liked to find a way of getting Rose into trouble.
The rest tough the clan appeared some dressed some still in pjs.
" What is all this racket?" Angelica asked yawning
"Mum ,"
" oh Right some of us still have children ,"
It was a sunny September morning . Soon enough breakfast was being served . Pancakes with any and every topping you could imagine.
Within in 5 minutes the food was demolished . As soon as the plates were empty there were 6 owls flying around the kitchen dropping more than just letters.
Fleur gathered the letters up and began handing them out to parents. Bill picked up the last letter it was addressed to Teddy " You have a letter ," Teddy turned bright pink
" Witt woo Teddy look Dad he gone all pink," Roxanne laughed.
" Stop it Roxy ..."
" Who is it from come on tell us" Lilly begged with a pout
" Oh come on leave your brother alone lilly ." Ginnny said while smoothing down her hair .
"but mum ...Uncle Charlie,"
All of a sudden the 4 remaining kids were up out of there seats and running at there uncle Charlie , he was the favourite amongst the children .
"Hey guys I have presents!"
" Yay"Everyone said in unison.
Everyone was talking to Charlie and giving him welcoming hugs .
" Don't worry," whispered Harry " I 'm sure they have forgotten by now and Send Vic my love ,"
" How do you know ?" Hissed Teddy
" James ,"
" Say no more that little ..." He noticed Harry's face . Teddy smiled
" Watch it , But I have to be serious if you hurt her I will have to kick your but ,"
" Shouldn't Bill be doing this whole proactive thing?" Teddy asked slightly confused
" Well he could but do you really want to tell him?" Harry said while glancing at the 6ft tall and muscular man standing before them .
" No I can wait" Teddy rushed his words out .
Harry laughed " Dont worry your secrets safe with me but I wouldn't trust James."
Teddy nodded and walked away with his letter.
" Lilly I have this for you ," Charlie handed her a pink Dragon figure that breathed real fire winch Ginny was itching too confiscate .
"Roxy you get a Green one !"
" WOW me and Lilly can play with them together cant we dad!"
" Of course ,you go have fun honey," George kissed the side of her head .
"If you give Hugo anything that breathes fire he not having it," Hermoine spoke firmly
" But mum that so unfair I promise I wont fire it at any of your books ," Hugo said in a pleading tone.
" I believe you but I am more worried about your father! " She shot a pointed look at Ron "Shouldn't you be laving for work," She turned to Harry " Both of you ." They both shot out of the room as fast as possible .
" Oh Dad look what I have ,"Lucy piped up. Percy was a lot more relaxed in his old age but was not impressed buy the sword that Lucy was holding he opened his mouth to speak before " Wow honey that lovely why don't you play with it in the Garden " Audrey spoke softly . Hermoine and Audrey got on Well She was a Muggle born as well . When Charlie pulled out Hugo's present Hermoine was not thrilled with the fact that it was a Sword much like Lucy's but It shot fire Balls as well.
" mum... "
" Charlie," Hermoine began .While both boys put there bottom lip down in a pleading expression
" Please Mum? " They both said in unison "Can I please keep it?" Hugo begged His bottom lip still Out . His eyes were now welling with the tears .
" Okay fine ," Hermoine said unable to say no to her son " But you keep it away from your Dad and only use it outside ,"
" Yeah , man" Charlie said while fist bumping his youngest Nephew .
" I will I promise mum" he hugged his mum narrowly missing her with his sword .
" Hey Lucy do you want a battle !" Hugo shouted through the kitchen .
The kitchen by this point was in complete chaos there were letters still on the table. Lilly and Roxy were throwing there Dragons at each other . Hugo and Lucy were trying to get out of the kitchen but had charred serial things before getting there. Charlie things were everywhere. Fleur was trying to usher the owls out of the Kitchen .Once Charlie had fished with his presents George gave him a hug .He was the closet in age since Fred had died . George had spent 2 years working with Charlie after the war . It did him some good but he missed being around the rest of his family .
" I have something for you too as well," Charlie said while digging around in his backpack .
" Oh no" Muttered Angelica .
" I found this ," Charlie handed him a photograph. It was Fred and George standing outside Weasley wizards wheezes on opening day . Both smiling arms on each other shoulders.. George began to cry . People began to slowly leave the kitchen. It was best to leave George alone when he got like this .
" Well now that all over I am gong to get ready for work ," Bill spoke
"OH MY GOSH HARRY" Ginny screamed at the top of her voice .Harry came back into the kitchen still butting his shirt .
" What happened?"
" Its Albus !"
"its not quite over," Fleur muttered to Bill.
