Chapter 7:
--
They all stared at Harry, in shock, with their mouths wide open. Even a few of the adults, who didn't know a fwe of the information Harry had given, were gwaking at him.
'Wow...' Albus said after a long time of shocked silence. He opened his mouth to say something once again but couldn't seem to find the right words, so he closed it again.
'Wait, what I still don't get is how did Voldemort's curse rebounded on him.' Roxane said confused. 'In the final battle.' She added.
'Well, the wand he was using was a Hallow, and as legend says, the wand chooses the wizard, but that wand had to be won over. The owner of the wand must be defeated to be used properly. Well the furthest we could trace to Grindlewald, who had this wand, he was defeated by Dumbledore who was killed by Snape. Voldemort thought Snape would be the rightful owner of the wand and so he killed Snape. But what he didn't know was that Draco had disarmed Dumbledore, so Draco was the rightful owner.' Ron quickly explained. 'Harry stole the wand from Draco and then was the owner. Even though Voldemort had the wand, the spell is still upon the wizard who defeated the previous owner. So Voldemort thought he was the owner now since he killed Snape. But when he performed the killing curse on Harry, the wand recognized it's master and instead of hitting Harry like it should have, it rebounded on himself.' Ron continued, sounding smug at the last bit.
'Yo that moldy dude is mental!' Sirius burst out breaking the tense atmosphere. Everyone started laughing.
'Did anyone ever tell you how similar you are to Sirius Black?' Harry asked amused.
'Yeah Jamsie-bear here, the night he found out about him from Hagrid.' Sirius said as he batted his eyes towards James who was sending him mock-death glares.
The rest of the day was spent having fun, talking about the old days, in the adults case, freely, not having to worry that the kids would find out.
'Everybody, dinner is ready!' Molly called everyone to the dinner table.
--
'So Rose! How is it going with your boyfriend?!' James practically shouted, grinning.
Rose glared at him and felt her face go red of embarresment as she kicked him from under the table.
'Boyfriend?What boyfriend?' Ron asked in a deadly tone. All of the cousins shifted uneasily in their seats, while James, Sirius and Albus sniggered.
'Uhm..Uh n-no one, do you actually believe him? He's just lying.' Rose stuttered, not being able to meet her dad's eyes.
'Rosalie. Jean. Weasley. Tell us the truth!' Hermione said angrily. Rose looked at her feet.
'Uhm okay, yes I am with someone, but he is no one you know --'
'Name!'
'Oh okay fine...'
'HIS NAME IS SCORPIUS!' Sirius said part impatiently, part excitedly.
'Thanks scum.' Rose said sarcastically
'Don't mention it.' Sirius said with a cheeky grin.
'WHAT?!' Ron yelled as he stood up, followed by Harry who looked angry, but not as angry as Ron, who looked ready to murder. The whole table fell silent and everyone looked there way.
'A MALFOY?!'
'No one in this house is allowed to date a Malfoy!' Harry said angrily.
'There really is only one left to date...' Rose muttered.
'You're still not dating him!' Ron said through his teeth.
'But he is nothing like his dad!' Rose said, also standing up. 'Stop judging him without meeting him!'
'He. Is. A. Malfoy.' Ron said to her as if that was a good enough reason. 'What is there to see? A Slytherin is no exception.'
'Yeah, I agree with Dad and Uncle Ron, you shouldn't be dating a scum like him.' James said with a grin.
'You are so lucky we are not at school, and that I can't use magic because I would've turned you into a FERRET!' Rose shouted the last word at James.
Ron and Harry looked at Rose in shock, as George burst out laughing with a smiling Ginny at his side, while Hermione had a frown on her face.
'Why are you laughing?' Angelina asked George.
'Draco - Ferret - Moody' George managed to gasp out.
When everyone remained confused, Ginny finally told them, 'Imposter Moody turned Draco into a ferret in Harry's 4th year.' Everyone burst out laughing.
'Ok back to the topic! You're breaking up with him! No arguements!' Ron told her.
'NO! YOU'VE NEVER EVEN MET HIM! HOW CAN YOU KNOW WHAT HE IS LIKE? AND FYI ! HE ISN'T EVEN IN SLYTHERIN! HE IS IN RAVENCLAW!' Rose shouted. Everyone gasped. Percy's fork dropped onto the plate, Arthur cricked his neck in result to turning his neck too quickly, George spat out the Pumpkin juice he was drinking onto Bill, in shock.
'Son of a Death Eater!' Ron said shocked. Everyone stared at him.
'Did you say that for swearing, or because it's true?' Harry asked.
'Err... both ways.'
'Uhm anyways,' Harry turned back to Rose. 'Like father like son.'
Rose opened her mouth to reply but was interupted by Ginny, 'Oh come on you guys, stop being so big-headed! Just give him a chance! He is in Ravenclaw, not Slytherin, that's big enough proof that he doesn't intend to go the same way Draco did. And if he breaks her heart, then you can go kick his arse and HEX him as much as you want.'
'Fine.' Ron and Harry both agreed.
'That's the end of it.' Hermione said to Rose who had opened her mouth yet again to reply.
'Boy does this girl have temper, just like Ginny.' Bill said to Percy.
'I head THAT!' Both Ginny and Rose said together, scowling at the two.
Teddy and Fleur chuckled as Bill and Percy tried to hide behind Rose and Ginny's glares.
'Rose and Scorpius sitting in a tree --' Sirius started to sing randomly.
'K-i-s-s-i-n-g,' Albus cut in.
'First comes love,' Fred added, emphasizing on the word 'love'.
'Then comes marriage,' Hugo and Lily followed.
'Then comes a baby in a baby carriage!' Teddy and Victoire ended followed by many applaus and laughter. Except for Ron and Harry who looked sour, which caused more laughter.
'James I want my Marauder's Map back.' Harry said bitterly.
'Oh but Dad--' James protested.
'No its or buts. I want it back.'
'Oh come on Harry. Let him have his fun.' George said.
'He shouldn't be sneaking around the school and breaking rules.' Hermione spoke up.
'You, Ron and Harry did! Heck, you three started an illegal organization in your 5th year.' Ginny stated.
'But they can get caught, and in trouble.' Molly said worriedly.
'The Marauders did it in their Hogwarts years, so did Fred and I, and Harry, Ron and Hermione.' George said ticking off on his fingers.
'Well they are different!'
'Yeah, well we're talking about the son of Harry Potter who snuck out almost every night, grandson of James Potter Sr. a.k.a. Prongs, one of the Marauders, son of the Godson of on of the Marauders, best friends with Prongs, and nephew to the trouble makers of our house?' Ron said poiting towards George.
'In other words, it runs in the blood.' Ginny explained seeing the confused looks Ron was recieving.
'Wow.' Sirius expressed.
'Yeah, well I have the original invisibility cloak, so what you going to do about that? Huh huh?' Harry asked ridiculously. Everyone stared at him. 'Uh... I mean, I have the Invisibility cloak, and you aren't getting it, and i definately won't be buying you one, which means you won't be able to sneak around without being seen or caught. And so, no point in letting you keep the map.' Harry rephrased with an evil grin.
James stared at him in shock.
'You know what the three Marauders would say if they were here?' Ron asked, carefully forgetting about the 4th Marauder, whom everyone tried to avoid mentioning. 'You disgust me.' He continued without waiting for an answer. Everyone laughed.
'Please Dad! Please! I won't do anything dangerous, or become an illegal animagus--' James paused to think about the last bit.
'No way in bloody hell.' Harry told him, ignoring the disapproving looks from Molly, Hermione and Percy.
'Oh fine, but all I really want to do is sneak out, go to the kitchens, play some pranks,' James listed off the stuff, 'torture the Slytherins.' he added under his breath.
'Please Mr. Potter.' Sirius pleaded.
'Oh come on Harry, let them have their fun.' Charlie cut in.
'Ugh fine. But if you lose the map, or the cloak, you are grounded for the rest of your life!' Harry gave in.
'I swear I won't.' James assured excitedly while Sirius chuckled.
--
'Presents time!' Bill called jumping into the group of kids excitedly.
'AHHH! UNCLE BILL YOU'RE SQUISHING US!' Lily screamed in pain, followed by Albus and Hugo, who were also sqaushed under Bill.
Bill chuckled and got off the three.
'Ouu! Mommy! Look what I got!' Lily said excitedly, after watching James open his gift wrap to find a new broomstick and Albus a new cauldron.
'What did you get honey?' Ginny asked.
'A make-up kit! From Aunt Fleur! Thankyou!' Lily rushed to Fleur and gave her a hug. Harry went pale, while Ginny, James, Al and Sirius chuckled at the memory, and at the horrified look on Harry's face, who was eyeing the kit as if it was an evil creation.
'AHH! IT'S EVIL! BURN IT!' Harry screamed in horror while walking towards the kit in Lily's hands.
'AHH! NO! STAY AWAY!' Lily screamed in fear, hiding her make-up kit behind her back.
'Harry calm down! It was a one time thing, it will never happen again.' Ginny told him, stepping between him and Lily, ignoring James, Albus and Sirius who were rolling on the floor laughing.
'Yeah Dad, it will never happen again.' James managed to gasp out. Harry sat on the sofa, calming down but still staring at the kit as if daring it to do something.
'The guy who defeated Voldemort, the darkest wizard of all time, is scared of make-up. Great we're doomed! I thought we were all counting on him to save our arses, not doom them.' George chuckled, rolling his eyes.
'Why is he scared of make-up?' Andrey asked, raising her eyebrows questioningly.
Albus explained and everyone laughed at the thought of Harry Potter being scared of make-up.
--
'Ok guys, put away your presents, we have something to show you.' Harry said to the four who were in the living room of the Potter Manor.
'What is it Daddy?' Lily asked getting up, followed by the three boys. Harry sighed.
'Well you know the locked door in my study that you guys are not allowed to enter?' The four nodded. 'Well, we'll show you what's in there today.' The three wore a shocked expression while Sirius had a blank one. Harry and Ginny led them to the locked door and stopped. Harry sighed and with a flick of his wand, the door opened to show...
