2002

Harry carefully opened one eye and thankfully grasped the bottle of hangover potion Kreacher had left on the bedside table.

Being the only 'Weasley' male that had dark hair he had been designated as this year's 'first-footer'. He had dutifully carried out his duties at all of the Weasley households and Andi's. First though Andi, with Teddy, who had morphed his hair to look like Harry, had visited Grimald place to bring luck to Harry's house.

Then Harry had apperated to their home and all the others, gathering the family with him as he did. The last had been the burrow, there, after entering by the front door, feeding the fire, placing the bread on the table and pouring his Dad a drink he exited the back door as he had at all the other houses, unlike the others however he circled the house and entered the marquee that George had set up on the lawn.

The party began quickly after that. Harry had ordered Kreacher to take the night off and Molly had asked him to join the family at the party. Kreacher had declared himself worn out after just a bit and retired to the house with the sleeping Teddy and Victoire.

Harry was not sure how he had gotten home, but he suspected Kreacher had seen to it. As his head cleared he spied the clock on the wall, 9 am, he had best get showered and dressed, his two favorite little people would be here soon to sing in the New Year.

……….

Apperating was less than pleasant, in Harry's opinion, taking a Port-Key always made him ill but flying on an aero plane to get to America had him terrified.

He was intelligent enough to know that the chances of the plane falling from the sky was small so he figured it must be the sensation of being in a small tin can.

Soon they would land in New York and then he could take a port-key to Salt Lake City.

He had to admit that the travel had been worth it. The scenery was spectacular! Providing general security for magical people attending the games was pleasant and relatively easy.

Tomorrow the games would be over and he would head to Calgary, Alberta Canada to see England's quidditch team play an exhibition game against Canada's. He and Ginny had even managed to work out two weeks' vacation after that.

Molly, Angie and George were coming over with the quidditch team, Angie and George were leaving after the game to explore setting up WWW stores in the US and Canada.

Harry, Molly and Ginny were looking forward to traveling back by Ocean liner.

The Atlantic was a bit rough going back but with the shows, food and pampering the three of them had a blast.

…….

Kingsley sighed and sipped his tea thoughtfully. "Molly this is just what I needed, thank you. I've never seen Her Majesty look so lost. But what strength she has! She thanked me for paying my respects and even mentioned how much her parents, sister and she had enjoyed getting to know Dumbledore during World war two."

"I so admired the Queen Mother, I had the pleasure of overseeing her protection during our last war. No nonsense that one! She surely will be missed!"

………..

Harry smiled at the cup and saucer that the clerk was wrapping. Victoire loved all the ceremony of tea. She had begun collecting cups and pots almost as soon as she could ask for them.

Bill, Fleur, Ginny and he had taken Victoire and Teddy to a few of Queen Elizabeth's jubilee events and they had loved them.

When Harry had seen the souvenir cup and saucer he knew they would be the perfect Christmas gift of his 'little love'.

Teddy bounced as they left the store and stopped dead; "Unca Harry! Unca Harry! Look! Look! A pot too! How much Unca Harry? Do I have enough 'lowance to buy it for her?"

It's amazing how far a toddler's allowance goes when he shops with a doting godfather.
