This is for Rythmic Ravenclaw 220, who wanted one about Harry, Ginny, and their kids..
Disclaimer: I still don't own Harry Potter…
"Daddy?" asked the little girl, twirling a lock of her red hair, and gazing up at her father.
The raven-haired man looked down at her, interrupted from his work, and asked, "Yes, Lily?"
"Can you read me a story?"
"But, Lily, it's only five o'clock. Why don't you wait till we've finished dinner?"
"Okay, daddy." Lily skipped out of her father's study, clutching the hand of Mr. Teddy, a turquoise blue teddy bear
He sat down at his desk again, and had hardly began to think when,
"Harry!" Harry turned to see a pretty woman with long red hair walking into his room.
"What is it, Ginny?" Ginny placed a cup of pumpkin juice on his rosewood desk, careful not to spill anything. "Teddy's going to come over from 'Dromeda's house soon to spend the night, and we'll be going to the Burrow for brunch tomorrow for Vicky's twelfth birthday. And, I don't think we've gotten her a present yet."
"Oh," Harry was miffed. He never forgot anything. Okay, he rarely forgot anything. "Wait, didn't we buy her that new baking set?"
Ginny's eyes widened. "Oh, how could I forget? I must have put it-" But Harry never did find out where his wife had placed Victoire's birthday present, because the doorbell rang, and she left to answer the door.
He smiled and shook his head, while he took a long, cool sip of pumpkin juice. He had hardly set the glass down and picked up his eagle feather quill, when Teddy burst into the room.
"Hi Uncle Harry!" Teddy's wild hair was currently shocking electric blue, inspired by his favorite singer, Billy Joe Armstrong, who was from some muggle band called Greenday. Harry just didn't get it. Why would anyone in a band called Greenday dye their hair blue? At fourteen, Teddy was going through a 'phase' of teenage rebellion. Along with the blue hair, he had bright green eyes and wore strange clothes (like jeans that stuck to his legs) and insisted on carrying around with him a brand new iPod touch- some muggle music player.
"Teddy! How's your grandmum?"
He rolled his eyes. "Okay, I guess. But if I see one more cat, I will scream." Harry opened his mouth to reply about Blackwood, Andromeda's moody black cat, when a loud, alarming noise rang out.
Harry jumped, and looked for the source of the noise- it was Teddy's muggle phone. Again, one of Those Things Teddy couldn't live without.
Teddy smiled as he looked at the screen, and spoke into his iPhone. "Hi, Emily!" Harry knew for a fact that Teddy had a painful crush on Emily. As he spoke, Teddy waved bye, and left.
Okay, focus, Harry. Focus. He had to submit this report by tomorrow to the Minister for Magic himself. And if he didn't, then, well, he actually didn't know what would happen.
"DAD!"
Harry turned. Albus was standing behind him, hopping on one foot to the other.
"Al, what happened?"
"It- it's all James' fault, Dad! He stole my brand new red car and he broke it! Do something, dad!"
Harry calmed Albus down. "Don't worry Al, I'll personally get you a new one."
Albus then ran out of the room, beaming with joy.
Harry picked up his quill, again. He was a little irritated now. When would he finish his report? He dipped the quill in ink and wrote down exactly one sentence, when-
"Harry! Harry, dear! Your tea's ready!" called out Ginny, and Harry could hear loud rock music, James and Albus' loud laughter, and if he listened carefully, he could even hear soft singing- Lily. Harry started to reply and say something like Oh, how he would very much like to, but he had to finish the stupid report, and then he stopped. Harry placed his quill down and left the room, shutting the door behind him.
The report would just have to wait.
