It's finally here! Sorry I was gone for so long, I wasn't expecting such an absence. Thanks to all my reviewers and my beta, you've been so supportive.

Michelle Itkin, I may include your character, but probably not as a child of a character from the original series.

And yes, Daisy is going in Hufflepuff or Gryffindor. I know which one, but you'll have to wait to find out :)


Gathering at the Burrow

"Are you two ready?" Dudley asked his daughters.

"Yes, but how are we getting there?" Poppy asked. "I thought Uncle Harry was getting us."

"He was going to, but decided to stay at the rodent hole-"

"-Burrow." Poppy corrected.

"Yes, exactly. He decided to stay there and help with setup. His friend, Aunt Ginny's brother, Ron, is getting us." Dudley finished. "Hopefully, in a car."

Daisy though about his last comment. She knew wizards had other ways of transportation, including disappearing into thin air, but had no idea how they worked, or if you could transport muggles that way.

About five minutes later, they all heard a car's honk in the driveway and gathered their bags. They would be staying at the Burrow for two days, leaving the morning of the third.

"Just throw your bags in the trunk and get in," Ron said. "Then, you two," He pointed at Daisy and Poppy, "hop in the back. Keep your pets with you."

Everyone did just as Ron said, and when it came time to leave, they all turned to Anna.

"By mum," Poppy said.

"Have a good time at the wedding," said Daisy.

Anna had been planning to go to the wedding for months now, and had decided not to cancel for this wizard event. If Dudley was honest with himself, he thought he knew that the wedding was not the only reason not to come. She simply wanted no more to do with magic than she absolutely had to in order to make Daisy happy.

Dudley got into the passenger side of the car and immediately realized this was no normal car. It was spacious, the front had three seats instead of the normal two, and the back looked like it could fit a whole clan of children back there.

Instead, there was Poppy, wide smile stretching across her face, staring back at him. Both girls had their hair braided today. Poppy's dark brown hair lay two elegant braids across her shoulders as she sat. Daisy's hair was more like her mother's. Light brown, naturally wavy towards the ends, which on Daisy, were currently dyed purple. In a braid, it wasn't as smooth as Poppy's, but still pretty.

"Ready?" Ron asked, getting in the driver's seat.

"Definitely!" Poppy said, leaning forwards to pull herself closer to the front.

"Put your seatbelt on," Dudley chided.

When she was safely back in her seat, Ron started driving.

"So, when we get there, you will see lot of people. A lot of magical people," he said to all of them. "All of them know who you are, and most of them won't try any tricks or anything. You girls will be staying in the girls tent - my niece Victoire will be in charge, kind of like a counselor. Dudley, you'll probably ending up sharing a room with Harry and I - with the space we have, we have to get at least three in a room, so it just works out that way. Harry requested that you not share with George, and he decided to stay in the boy's tent anyway."

The rest of the trip went smoothly, Daisy and Poppy occasionally asking about the other kids that would be attending. At last, they arrived at an empty field. Dudley suddenly remembered," Oh! I forgot, I have a dentist appointment today, we should turn around." Poppy nodded in agreement.

Ron chuckled, and Daisy looked confused. "That's our protective spells for you. Any muggle nearby finds themselves remembering an appointment and going in the opposite direction from our house - but now we've past the boundary can you see the house now?"

"Yes, yes I can." Dudley didn't mention the fact that it looked more like a leaning tower or sculpture than a house.

Ron looked off into the distance. "Why don't we leave Daisy and Poppy with Lily and Rose, and I'll show you around?"

"Uh, alright," Dudley agreed. He could now see Ron's daughter, Rose, whom he had learned about during the car ride, standing with Lily in front of a small tent. He comforted himself, saying that Daisy was a responsible child, and Poppy - well Daisy could keep track of Poppy.

When the door of the house opened, voices were carried out to Dudley's ears, and as he peered in he saw a lot more people than he was expecting. Quite a few had red hair too.

"Ah, you must be Dudley," an older man said, walking up to him. "You've changed of course, but I can still see it's you."

"Mr. Weasley?" Dudley asked.

The man laughed. "Yes, although there are quite a few 'Mr. Weasleys' around these days. You can call me Arthur."

Over the course of an hour, Dudley was introduced to what he hoped to be all of the Weasley and Potter family. If there were any more of them, he thought his head might explode. Sometimes he caught glimpses of Daisy or Poppy walking by with other children.

At the end of the day, after a filling meal, Dudley found himself sitting next to Audrey Weasley as some others prepared for a quidditch match.

"Do you play?" Dudley asked, attempting to make conversation.

Audrey smiled. "No, us muggles have to stay here on the ground together, don't we.

"You're a muggle!" he said. He hadn't been expecting that there would be any besides himself - and possibly Poppy. He spent the rest of the evening speaking with Audrey and her husband, Percy, Ron's older brother, before going to sleep in Ron's old room with Harry, and Ron himself.


"Hi," Daisy said as she and her sister approached Lily and Rose.

"Hi Daisy," Lily said. "This is Rose, my cousin. She's Uncle Ron's daughter."

"Yes, um, Uncle," was she supposed to call him uncle? "Ron mentioned you and Hugo. He's in the same year Lily and I are in, isn't he?"

"Yes, but he's a little pest. I'm sure you and I will be just as good of friends. Come on, we'll show you the tent," Rose reached for Daisy's hand and lead her towards the small, worn, 3 person tent out on the lawn. "You'll love it. Go on, inside."

Daisy stepped inside not expecting much, but she was greeted by a whole house inside the shabby tent. There was a mini kitchen, living and dining areas, and three bunk beds.

"That one's yours," Said Lily, pointing at one of the beds. "I'm right above you, Rose is across from you. Roxanne, Fred II's sister - you haven't met her yet, is above Rose. Molly and Lucy - you haven't met them yet either - share the last bunk. Victoire and Dominique are camping out in the living area.

Rose and Lily spent the rest of the time before dinner showing Daisy and Poppy around. At some point, Albus joined them, but left quickly because Rose was glaring ferociously at him. Daisy and Poppy got to meet all the other girls, and most of the boys before the meal, and afterwards they watched an extremely exciting game of quidditch.

Rose sat with Daisy as the game started, explaining each role, and who was playing it. Daisy and Poppy were fascinated, and couldn't wait to try. Rose studied Poppy for a moment. "I don't think we'll be able to this time, but whether or not you can ride a broom will tell you if you're magic enough to go to Hogwarts."

"No it won't," Albus said, overhearing her words. "I'm a wizard, but I absolutely suck at quidditch."

"Well, it might tell you then. No guarantees or anything," Rose finished. "Now, on with the game. These are pretty even teams if you ask me…"

Team 1:

Keeper: Fred II

Chasers: Ginny, Dominique, Hugo

Beaters: Louis, Ron

Seeker: Harry

Team 2:

Keeper: Lily

Chasers: James, Angelina, Roxanne

Beaters: George, Molly II

Seeker: Charlie

As Daisy watched, she found herself most interested in the chasers and Keepers. Possibly because that was where most of the action was, but also because she wondered if she could ever fly that well, if she could ever get on a house team like Rose mentioned. When a bludger whooshed by, Daisy flinched backward, breath held in fear. Poppy, quickly grabbed the extra bat, and hit the bludger towards George and back into the game.

Poppy's eyes gleamed with pride as she watched "her bludger" fly back into the game. Daisy knew what Poppy would be trying out for if she could - beater. I wonder what dad would think of that!

After the bludger incident, Poppy started up cheering for Harry's side, so when Ginny got close to scoring a goal, Daisy decided to take a side.

"Defense, Defense, Defense!" She yelled along with Poppy's encouragement. Those watching the game stared with curiosity, never having heard anything like it.

In the end, team 1 won, when Harry caught the snitch. Before that, scores were close with one hundred and thirty points for team one, and one hundred and forty points from team two. The game lasted for hours, and when it was done everyone looked exhausted. Even so, Daisy was sad to leave in the morning.
