Note I don't own Harry Potter, all rights go to J.K. Rowling. Hey guys I'm back. Sorry this took me so long, but I wanted to take a hiatus for the summer. So let's do this.

Chapter 21: The Leaky Cauldron!

Harry was with his younger cousins in the St. Mungo's waiting room. A couple of hours ago, Harry's aunt Kathy went into labor. Though Harry was excited because in a week he'd get to go back to Hogwarts as well as seeing Ginny again, but was worried because of the many possibilities that could go wrong in child birth.

His youngest cousin Lily was sitting near a coffee table drawing on a dinosaur coloring book, while Jim and Alex were playing wizard's chess.

Just then Harry's uncle Mark came in with a grin on his face.

"How's aunt Kathy?" asked Harry.

"She's fine, a little tired, but fine." said Mark.

Lily then got up and went to Mark.

"Daddy, how's Mummy?" asked Lily.

"Relax lily, she's fine, let's go see her." mark then picked up lily and signaled the others to follow him.

One walk to Kathy's room and they were there. Mark then let them in.

"Look who came to see their newest member to our family." Mark said to Kathy.

"Hello there." Kathy said. "Come on in."

Harry then came in and saw Kathy holding a little bundle with the baby.

"How'd it go with the, well you know?" asked Harry, sitting next to Kathy.

"Painful, like always." said Kathy.

Lily then came up to Kathy.

"What's her name?" asked Lily.

"I went with a family tradition to name her after a flower." said Mark. "So we agreed on Violet."

"A pretty name for a pretty girl." said Kathy holding Violet as she was snoozing.

"Can I hold her?" asked Lily.

"Yes but sit right here" Kathy then scooted over to make room for Lily 'Be careful, she's very fragile and she's still sleeping."

Harry looked over to Lily holding his newest cousin Violet. She looked small but she had black hair, like his aunt Kathy, it was only a matter of time until she woke up so he can see her eye color. He thought it was interesting how fast this went by, earlier today he was home reading, now he's in a hospital room seeing his new cousin.

"Penny for thought/' asked Mark.

"Oh it's just nothing Uncle Mark." said Harry.

"Can hold her now?" asked Jim.

"I'm just gonna go get some air." said Harry

Harry then went out of the room, something felt strange to him. He didn't know why, but he felt like he was being watched by someone. Soon his Uncle Mark came out of the room and asked him "What's wrong Harry?"

"I don't know why, but I feel like I'm being watched." said Harry.

Mark then told Harry "Look, there are still people out there, so if you ever feel like your gonna be in trouble, just contact me."

"Alright, it's just, something's off, that's all." said Harry.

Mark then put his arm around Harry and they both went inside.

After there little visit Mark and the kids went home while Kathy stayed behind because she was in no good to go home yet. But Mark promised he'll come back tomorrow.

The Next day Harry was having breakfast with his cousins when a Owl came in from the window. He noticed to be Errol, and he looked tired. Harry then grabbed the letter from Errol and began to read it.

Dear Harry

As you may know, I'll be at the Leaky Cauldron with my family in a week, so I sent Errol to you to remind you to come see us at the Leaky Cauldron, but remember, there is no pressure for you to come. See you at Saturday.

Love Ginny.

Harry finished reading, and he smiled, he was really excited to see Ginny again. Also Ron but come on, it's all about Ginny.

What Harry didn't know was that his cousin Lily was also reading the letter.

"Excited to see your girlfriend again Harry?" asked Lily.

"She's not my girlfriend." said Harry.

"Who's not Harry?" asked Mark coming in.

"Oh, it's no one uncle Mark." said Harry.

Mark then said "Harry, watch your cousins while I'm at St. Mungos okay."

"Sure thing uncle Mark." said Harry.

Mark then grabbed the Daily Prophet from harry and left. The rest of the day went by fast for Harry.

The week went by fast for Harry, his aunt Kathy had recovered and now her and his new cousin Violet were at home. Soon the weekend came and Harry was very excited.

"Remind me again why we should go over to Diagon Alley again, Harry." said Mark "We already got Yours, Jim's, and Alex's Hogwarts supplies. What's the point?"

"Uncle Mark I already told you, Ron, Ginny, and the Weasley's are gonna be there, and I want to see them." said Harry.

"Al right," said Mark.

Soon everyone got ready to except for Kathy, because she had to stay behind to watch Violet.

"We'll be back in a while." Mark told Kathy.

"Alright, Luv." said Kathy. "Oh by the way, can you bring me some pastries ."

"Will do." said Mark

Soon Harry and the others them flooed over to the Leaky Caudron when he saw Joe and Ariel, Also Remus was there. There were sitting in a table eating.

"Hello guys, what brings you here?" asked mark.

"I had to pick up some extra materials for my new Job," said Remus. "I'm gonna teach at Hogwarts."

"You are that's so cool," said Jim.

"What possition?" asked Alex.

"Defence against the dark arts professor." Remus said with a little bit of pride.

"Oh good, you'll be better than Lockhart hopefully." said Harry

"Also Mark, I heard Kathy gave birth." said Remus as he looked at Mark.

"Oh yes she did, I have a picture of her and the baby right here.' said mark. "We named her Violet."

Remus then looked at the picture "She has Kathy's blue eyes, and her black hair."

"Yeah she's happy that now one of her kids looks like her but doesn't have my hair or eyes." said Mark. Mark then turned to Ariel. "And what brings you and Joe here.'

"Oh we just wanted some food from the Leaky Cauldron, I was in the mood for it." said Ariel.

"So was I" said Joe. "By he way, the Weasley's are here, there out shopping if you need to know Harry." Said Joe.

Harry then said "Thanks Joe,' Harry then looked at Mark and said "I'm gonna go look aro-"

"HARRY!" said a familiar voice.

Ginny was there, and she ran up to Harry and hugged him.

"Oh how I missed you" said Ginny, releasing him from his hug.

"I missed you too" Harry said as they both took a seat at a near by booth. "So how was your summer/"

"Oh it was so nice, Egypt was so cool, and I got all these cool souvenirs" Ginny then showed Harry an i love Egypt shirt. "Don't worry Ron got one too. We also went to this really great restaurant for my birthday, but in all seriousness, I really wished you were there."

"I wish I was there too," said harry. He then got something out of his pocket and said "I got you something but, I wanted to be there to see your reaction, so here."

Harry then showed her a necklace with a heart on it and put it around Ginny's neck.

"Happy late birthday Ginny." said Harry.

"Oh it's beautiful Harry, thank you." Ginny then gave Harry a kiss on the cheek.

Harry then blushed a lot and was about to say something until...

"Harry and Ginny sitting in a tree K.I.S.S.I.N.G!" said a laughing Lily.

"Can you go away please." said Harry.

Lily then stuck her tongue out and left.

"She's a nightmare sometimes but you have to love her." said Harry.

"Oh that reminds me, I made you something for your birthday" Ginny then got out a shirt that spelled out 'Yes I'm the Boy who lived, now leave me alone.' she then handed it to him "I failed at knitting this so I had Mum help me, do you like it?"

"Of course Ginny, I hope you got my size right.' said harry.

"If I didn't, just enlarge it." said Ginny.

The both of them then giggled.

"So where's Ron?" asked Harry.

"He's at a pet shop getting scabbers looked at with our favorite muggle born, Hermione." said Ginny.

"Figures, what time will they be back then?" asked Harry.

"I don't know- oh look there they are!" exclaimed Ginny

Ron and Hermione came in, with Hermione carrying a cat.

"Hey, Harry, how was your summer?" asked Ron.

"Oh it was nice, Egypt was cool, but Scabbers got a little sick." Ron said while holding a cage with Scabbers in it. He then sat down "Hermione got a cat, just about now."

Hermione then showed Harry her new cat "His name is Crookshanks, the store said he's part Kneazle."

"The sad part is that Croockshanks hates my pet rat Harry." said Ron

Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione then spent the next hour catching up on stuff.

Meanwhile Remus, Mark, and Ariel were talking in private.

"So you must've heard that Sirius escaped Azkaban?" asked Remus

"I think everyone who reads the prophet knows." said Ariel.

"I'm more afraid of what the ministry is gonna do." said Mark. "There placing Dementors at Hogwarts because they think Sirius is gonna come there." Mark then drank his tea "Dementors, are they serious?'

"Nice pun there." said Remus.

"Well, I don't know what will happen, but I hope that if Sirius gets to Hogwarts, then I hope I can find him before the Dementors." said Ariel.

"Let's just hope this doesn't go the rout I think it might go." said Remus.

"I hope so too" said Mark

"Does Joe know?" asked Remus.

"He knows." said Ariel. "Does Harry Know?"

"Kathy told him yesturday about what happened. He doesn't know about the dementors though." said Mark

"then we are in for one busy year." said Remus.

"At times like this, I wish I still had our map back, Remus." said Ariel. "I still don't know how i lost it."

"Let's just hope this goes by smoothly." said Mark.

After a while, Harry and the others went back to Grimmauld's place.

Once again I am sorry this took so long but, stuff happens. And I promise, this will never happen again, until next summer. I will see you guys in the next chapter.
