Now that Isobel was just about toddling, Teddy was enjoying playing with her almost as much as he enjoyed time with his friends. Louis, Teddy and Georgia had become very close friends. Louis talked about Dominique and Victorie and how snooty they were being because they were both at Muggle School already! Georgia' older brother Jared, Elijah and James would all be starting Muggle School in September also.

Dora had taken to being having a baby girl like a duck on water. For the first few months, while she had still been on leave, she had bought her rag dolls and played with her all day every day. They played dress up and did photo-shoots for a baby album. They were closer than any other mum and daughter known to wizard kind.

Teddy really loved his little sister. Remus had worked out the golden eyes seemed to shine whenever Teddy was hit by a powerful emotion such as love, protectiveness, excitement or fear.

Once when the family was in Hogsmead, a young boy bumped into a toddling Isobel and Teddy's eyes glowed like lanterns in the night. He picked up his crying sister and ran out of the shop. Remus was shocked and quickly followed his son. Teddy had taken Isobel to The Three Broomsticks where he had hugged her tight and rocked her to sleep on his lap. Remus smiled fondly at his little boy who was becoming such a great big brother to Isobel.

Sirius too had grown a fair bit. He was now about 18 months old and even though he was perfectly capable of talking, he preferred to simply enjoy fun times as a silent shadow in the background. At first the Harry and Hermione had thought it was because he simply couldn't get a word in edge ways with James around, but quickly it had become clear that he was just a quiet child.

One Saturday Morning, Hermione was in the living room playing with Sirius; who had become obsessed with a cuddly elephant who he had named Elle, when she suddenly ran out of the room and was violently sick in the downstairs toilet. She collapsed onto the floor in horror. She had not felt ill! What on earth had brought on this sickness?

Oh no!

Hermione shot upstairs and put her head in her hands. She quickly cast a pregnancy test spell, used at St Mungo's often, and found herself 2 months pregnant with a baby girl.

"Shoot." She grumbled. "Better tell Harry."


Harry was in the garden playing Quidditch catch with James and Uncle Sev.

"Erm Harry? Could I have a quick word please?" Hermione asked as she shifted Sirius' weight on her hip.

Harry nodded brightly and grounded. Severus grounded also and took Sirius from Hermione and sat him on his lap on the broom.

"Harry, I'm pregnant! Again! It's a girl! I'm 2 months and… again! This is mad!" Hermione mumbled.

"Wow! A girl! That's great! We have quite the growing tribe Mione! Are you unhappy?" Harry stammered.

"No! I'm delighted…. Birth just isn't the most pleasant affair." Hermione snickered.

Harry kissed her hair.

"If I could swap, you know I would. I would do anything for you Hermione Jean. I love you more than anything else in the world and if we have 3 of 30 children I will be just as happy because it means that there is more of the beautiful you enriching the world." Harry smiled.

"I love you too Harry James Potter. And I know that this little girl will bring us closer as a unit. You know what; I think we should call her Lily Emma Potter. After our mums. I hope she has your beautiful Green eyes." Hermione beamed.

"I hope she has your beautiful smile, your soft skin, your gorgeously sweet personality, your cleverness, your cute little confidence and yet your sensitivity too." Harry told his wife.

Just then Remus walked in and chuckled. He had both James and Teddy on his shoulders and Severus was behind with Sirius and Isobel.

"Boys, what do we say when we see kissing?" Remus grinned.

"Yuk!" James, Teddy and Sirius chorused.

Everybody chuckled, including Sev!

"So do what does Harry owe your lips Mione?" Remus teased.

Hermione crooked her eyebrow and Remus crossed his arms, the boys copying.

"I… am… pregnant… again. It's a girl… 2 months." Hermione stuttered.

"Oh wow! Congratulations!" Severus smirked.

Remus winked at Harry.

"Come on kiddies! I think I know where I put the water guns if you're game." Remus suggested, earning cheering from James.


"Again?" Lily squealed. "And after me? How sweet! I'm so flattered! Oh Harry! Hermione! How lovely! A girl!"

"Merlin's Beard Har! You and Remus seem intent to fill Hogwarts with your children!" Sirius (Snr) teased.

Harry laughed heartily.

"Oh no Moony! They've rumbled us!" Harry joked and everyone chuckled.

"You two! My goodness!" Dora smiled. "Oh Mione! We can do baby girlie things together!"

"I can't wait!" Hermione beamed and the sisters hugged.


6 months later


Isobel had been enjoying spending time with her new friends Abigail Finnigan and Luke Thomas.

Hermione was delighted to know that Lily would also have friends her age. Neville and Luna had just had two gorgeous baby twins who they had named Lysander and Lola. The twins were a moth and a half older than Lily.

Luna was becoming a great little mother a Neville had become a loving father and strong husband.

Abigail had a little sister to come also. Drew Finnigan would be 3 months younger than Lily.

When Lily's due date came Hermione was laid out on one of the sofas.

James and Sirius were sat opposite their mother and James practised singing one of the songs he had learnt in reception at his muggle school. It was all about reading and learning how to write.

Sirius was always very excited to hear of his big brothers adventures at St Andrew's primary school. There were two more years before he Frederica and Hannah could attend.

He was excited for this though. Today he would finally get to meet his baby sister. Finally he would no longer be the baby Potter. He could be one of the bigger ones at last!

Hermione herself was buzzing. James' birth had been the most difficult. She had had no idea what to expect and had seriously underestimated it! James had taken 8 hours! Sirius had been easier. He was out in 2 hours, which she had much preferred, but she had had a bit of a trauma when her waters had broken she knew that it had been very scary for James and she certainly didn't want to see him go through that again.


At about 2 pm Hermione took a deep breath as she felt water trickle down her legs. She called for Harry who grabbed the boys and her and apparated the whole group to St Mungo's.

Once there Hermione was carted off leaving a crying Sirius very confused to why he couldn't go with his Mummy.

Harry pulled his two young sons onto his lap and kissed their heads. He looked back at the last four years and the rollercoaster of a ride it had been. James had brought such a change to everyone's lives. He had been a little flame that had sparked off the beautiful firework display. After James had come Teddy, Remus' wonderful little cub that had brought so much to the werewolf's life. Then came Sirius, Harry's sweet, quiet little man who found everything wonderful and exciting. Then Isobel, the cute little girl who was never seen without her rag doll, Aga. Now he was at outside the birthing waiting for his own baby daughter to grace their lives.

Harry was awoken from his deep thoughts by James tugging his sleeve. The small boy climbed to his feet and whispered in his father's ear that Sirius was hungry and he could really do with a cookie.

Harry grinned at his sons and ruffled their hair. Right on cue, Remus, Dora, Teddy and Isobel arrived.

"Uncle Moony!" James sand Sirius cheered.

"Hiya Pups!" Remus greeted.

"Hello James, Sirius!" Teddy greeted and Isobel waved shyly from behind him.

"Watch the mischief makers for me will you Remus? The boys want cookies, what about your tribe?" Harry asked.

"Sure I'll watch them. Teddy, Isobel, would you like a cookie?" Remus agreed.

After enthusiastic nodding from the Lupin children Harry grinned and left to find the kids some snacks.

When he returned, James had managed to find a book and was reading to the other three.

"That's not my hippogriff, his hair is too long. It dangles in his face. My hippogriffs hair is short and well kept. That's not my hippogriff, her claws are too sharp. She could scratch herself by accident. My hippogriffs claws are neat." James read and the two men watched proudly.

"Cookies?" Harry whispered and all four heads turned in a split second and eight little hands shot out to grab the food.

Just as the kids finished their cookies the healer came out to let them in.

Lily had Harry's emerald eyes, just as wished for. She had a head of shining red hair that was unmistakably that of Lily Potter (Snr).

James pulled the new born onto his lap and Sirius cuddled up to his brother and sister.

The adults looked on adoringly.

Teddy climbed up onto the chair and Isobel lifted her arms up as if to say 'lift me up Teddy' so he did.
