January 19th, 2001

She was in an incredible amount of pain. The first hadn't been easy, but this? Compared to this time, her first was a walk in the park. She gripped her husband's hand tightly.

For his part, Bill was taking the birth of their second child rather well. Victorie had been dropped off at Harry's to play with Teddy, the family would be notified and be at St. Mungo's in a couple of hours.

Fleur, however, was sweating and almost in tears. She had been in labour for hours already, but the Healer had told them not to come in until the contractions were closer. Finally they had reached the admittance stage and were now waiting in a hospital room.

Fleur grimaced as another contraction hit. She squeezed Bill's hand tightly as he kissed her forehead, telling her how much he loved her and the baby that would soon be coming into the world. Fleur just wanted the baby to be out already. She (Fleur was convinced it was a girl) would keep Fleur up kicking and was a rather large baby. Fleur was, however, happy that it was not twins.

Finally, on January 19th 2001 at seven thirty in the evening little Dominique Ginerva entered the world.

While the birth of Dominique was throwing the family into chaos (there were complications so Fleur had to stay in St. Mungo's for a week) Harry was distracted. First of all he had agreed to take Victorie while Fleur was in the hospital and second of all Teddy would be starting Muggle preschool on Monday and Harry had yet to perfect the charm Andromeda had shown him. It was a powerful Disillusionment charm which he was more than capable of, it was simply pronouncing the words correctly. Finally, on the third attempt, Teddy's hair shivered and turned a dark brown. It stayed that way all day until Harry removed it. No one could tell if he changed his appearance. Relieved now that he would not be on trial for violating the Statue of Secrecy, Harry proceeded to make dinner for his wife, niece, and godson.

After dropping Teddy off at his first day of Muggle preschool (and double checking the charm) and dropping Victorie off at the Burrow Harry Apparated to the Ministry. When he arrived in the office he was immediately pulled over by his superior, Abraham Rogers. "Suit up. The location of Agatha Hart has been secured. We're just waiting to move in. There's no way we can lose her now."

Harry nodded and jotted a quick note to Ginny before sending an office owl off and changing into his mission clothes. Within fifteen minutes he arrived at a heavily armed Auror station, one of many that surrounded a small house.

"Potter! Weasley! Over here! You're going to be part of the infiltrating force," Rogers commanded. Harry and Ron went over.

"Alright, team, this is going to be tricky. She's surrounded by five female guards and is powerful on her own. We're sending in a team of ten with a five person back up and patrols around the perimeter. Priority one is to avoid casualties. She's ruthless, especially towards men and she'll kidnap any women. Priority two is capture. We need to take this woman down before she becomes some Amazonian Voldemort," Rogers said, speaking quickly, "We leave in five minutes."

The group of Aurors snuck up to the building, Stunning the door guard. Rogers nodded and they stormed the house. There were only two rooms and a bathroom. Harry was immediately engaged in a duel with one of the guards. She was powerful and well-trained but Harry had fought Voldemort. She was nothing compared to him. Stunning the guard and tying her up, he turned to Ron, who was sporting a cut but looked very proud of himself. "No injuries, and I took one down. Rogers has Hart, she's being transported to the Ministry."

Harry sighed, feeling relieved. Perhaps, for now, Auror life would be a bit less stressful.

Harry got to leave the office early, seeing as he was not part of the interrogation team for Agatha. Victorie had returned home because Fleur and Dominique had been released from the hospital. Ginny had gotten Teddy home from preschool and had made dinner. Now Teddy was in bed and the couple lay on the couch. "Ginny, I've been thinking," Harry began. Ginny turned so that they were looking at each other. "When do you want to start having children?" Harry asked.

"We already have Teddy. I think one is enough for right now. I do want children, but I also want to play Quidditch for awhile. I can't play while I'm pregnant. I think we should wait a few years," Ginny said.

Harry nodded and kissed her.

The next morning Ginny was reading the Daily Prophet while Harry made Teddy some cereal. "Harry, come look at this," she called. Harry put Teddy down in his booster seat and walked over.

Yes?" Harry asked.

"It's a wedding announcement for Draco Malfoy and Astoria Greengrass. Apparently Lucius's death didn't stop the wedding plans."

The couple stared at the announcement before Teddy started yelling "More cereal! More cereal!"

Ginny dropped Teddy off at preschool and then Apparated to the Holyhead Harpies' training room.

"Ginny, guess what!" Her teammate and fellow chaser, Jasmine Kaplan, called. "We're in the running for the England Cup!"

"Really?" Ginny asked.

"Absolutely! We only have to beat the Appleby Arrows. And you know what winning the England Cup means..." Jasmine said, grinning.

"Of course I do! We get to play for England in the World Cup!"

Harry picked Teddy up from preschool and started making dinner. When Ginny got home she practiced numbers with Teddy until dinner was ready. But when it was time for Teddy's bedtime he wouldn't stay in his bed.

Life with Teddy had been relatively easy. There had been no misbehaviour for the most part. This was the first big thing and Harry had no idea what to do. Ginny, however, remembered what her mum used to do when Fred and George wouldn't go to sleep.

"Teddy, I'm going to give you one last chance. If you don't stay in your bed you're going in time out," Ginny stated sternly.

"No bed!" Teddy said, shaking his head and pouting. Ginny nodded to Harry, who picked Teddy up and put him on a chair in the hallway. The little boy tried to run away, but Ginny put a gentle Restraining charm on him. The couple went into the kitchen.

"Ginny, what is this supposed to do?" Harry asked.

"Mum used to do this when we wouldn't go to bed," Ginny said, "He'll get tired after about fifteen minutes and then we'll put him to bed."

True to Ginny's word Teddy went to bed soon after and the couple went to sleep.

Hey, quick update! (Do I get brownie points for that? Or, perhaps, more reviews? I know, I'm shamelessly begging *smiley*) I know a lot of you asked how Teddy would go to Muggle preschool with his hair changing colour. To be honest, I hadn't really thought of that before. But I hope this chapter cleared everything up.

Only three chapters left! Then (perhaps) an epilogue or at least a clarification of where everyone is. Not so much a chapter as a clearing of the air for the sequel, "Family Connections."

Congratulations to those of you who guessed about Dominique from the preview last chapter and thank you to the reviewers: BROOKLYNrose95, . (thanks, I can't wait either!), Aspieturtle, S0phfeist (thank you sosososososo much!), Teddy R. Lupin, mr mark gibs 1989 (love the name), DanielWhite (don't let yourself get ahead), and The Screaming Mimi. Just 2 more until 75 reviews! I know I can get a hundred before the end of the story!

Also, All is Fair should be updated soon. I hope all of you will go read it. It's a next generation Rose/Scorpius fic that takes place during their sixth and seventh years.

Happy reading and please review!
