A/N: Next few chapters are Harry's normal family life for now just for AWWWWWW factor really after writing a lot of sad parts I thought a nice loving chapter or two was needed.
Chapter Thirty Two: Big Brother Harry
It had been a day since Harry returned to England and Lily was worried that her kids hadn't had a chance to bond so she devised a little plan: Potter Manor had small damage from the New Ministry and she convinced James and Ginny to tell Harry that it needed a lot of work so his parents asked him to watch Maria for the day so they could help Ginny with some of the Manor's damage. He had arrived in the cottage in Godric's Hollow and knocked as his parents answered.
"Hey Harry." James said hugging him tightly.
"Hey dad." He said walking into the house, the cottage had been remodelled and looked brand new.
"So we'll be home by 9 tonight, your mother wants Maria to experience both sides of life both Muggle and Wizard so bring her on a Muggles day out. But feel free to show her around Hogsmeade if you want now the New Ministry lost control of the school it is reopening soon." He said not revealing the plan by Lily for Harry to bond with his little sister a bit.
"Ok, I should've brought Teddy and Abi with me though." He said looking a little sad.
"Molly has them with Victorie and Dominique." James said smiling. "Three kids would be a lot for one man to look after for a day."
"Ok then." He said waiting as Maria finished her breakfast.
"Have you eaten?" James asked.
"Yep." He said smiling at his father's worries.
"Ah, well your mother made you some breakfast." James said laughing.
"I guess a sausage sandwich couldn't hurt." Harry said walking into the kitchen and sitting down beside Maria.
"Harry!" She said hugging him tight.
"Hey Maria, all set to spend the day together?" He asked her.
"Oh my god, are we really?" She asked not knowing.
"Yep sweetie, Daddy and I are helping Ginny with something for a little while so you and Harry can spend the day together." Lily said hugging her and Harry.
"Ok." She said looking happy.
Harry decided that a trip back to Muggle life for a day was a good idea as he missed certain aspects of it such as him being able to walk as a normal person, he and Maria drove to London first to spend some time in the markets.
"Wow, this place is so big." Maria said looking around the place.
"It is I forgot about this place." Harry said looking at some fresh sweet stalls and treating him and Maria to a nice brownie.
"Thanks Harry." She said taking a brownie.
The two of them walked for a little while until a wanted poster caught Harry's eye.
Wanted: Harry Potter
Suspect in multiple disappearances
Reward: £2000
If seen call the police
"Oh crap." He said softly. "Hey let's go to a fun store called 'Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes'." Harry said to Maria bringing her through the Leaky Cauldron and into Diagon Alley.
"Harry, why did that say you're wanted?" She asked him looking worried.
"Bad people might be using my identity." He said to her walking into the shop.
"Harry!" Fred said walking over. "And Maria, to what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked.
"I need some 'Timed Polyjuice'." He said softly walking to the backroom. "Some of the New Ministry leaked to the British Government that I'm involved in disappearances and I'm spending the day with Maria in the Muggle world." He said to him.
"Ok, here." He said handing him a vial. "This will last till about 11pm." He said as Harry drank it and looked different. His hair now red and his eyes brown, he shrank about five inches and bloated a little.
"Wicked!" Maria said looking at him.
"Glad you approve little lady." Fred said laughing and giving her a lollipop.
"Come on Maria lets go to a movie." Harry said walking out of Diagon Alley. "I need you to stay closer to me now ok?" He said to her.
"Ok Harry." She said getting on his shoulders.
Meanwhile back at the joke shop Fred called James. "Prongs, I did it, he fell for the fake poster I set up." Fred said.
"Thanks Fred." James said laughing as he hung up the phone. "The plan is working Lily."
"I feel bad for tricking him but it may be a good idea." She said smiling.
Meanwhile in London Maria and Harry finished watching a children's movie in a cinema and decided to have some more fun.
"Tell ya what Maria I have a good idea for fun, want to see some of the places I hung around as a student in Hogwarts?" He asked her smiling as he loved the day out with his younger sister.
"Yeah definitely." She said smiling as Harry got the magic car flying invisibly to Hogsmeade and called Fred asking for the reversal spell becoming himself again. He and Maria then walked around Hogsmeade as he showed her some of the places he had fun as a kid and decided that a little visit to Hogwarts was allowed.
"Welcome Professor Potter." A statue said opening the gate.
"You're a professor?" Maria asked looking amazed.
"I taught here when you and Abi were babies." He said walking up the pathway. "I guess I'm still technically a teacher here."
"Wow." She said looking as the Hippogriff herd greeted them and the grounds were as peaceful as ever. "Is this where you beat him last time?" She asked him.
"No, it was Maria." Harry said smiling as they walked into the castle greeted by Nearly-Headless Nick.
"Professor Potter." He said tilting his head scaring Maria a little. "I do apologise little one." He said smiling as she calmed down.
"Can I see here you beat the Basilisk and saved Ginny?" Maria asked. It was obvious to Harry that his friends and family had been telling the kids all of Harry's adventures.
"Only if you stay in my arms when we go down there Maria, ok?" He said to her as she nodded he made the way to the tunnel as they went down she went in his arms immediately looking a little scared. "If you want we can go back up." He said to her softly.
She shook her head wanting to go on showing her true Gryffindor ancestry as Harry smiled at this walking slowly to the chamber entering the password remembering a little Parseltongue and showing her the chamber. After ten minutes he brought her back up through the tunnel noticing she was scared.
"I-I don't want to see that again." She said crying a little.
"Shh, it's ok Maria, I'm here." He said hugging her and rocking her softly.
"Don't do anything dangerous again." She said hugging him tight.
"You mean like fighting the bad guys?" He asked kissing her forehead. "I'll be careful, don't worry."
"You promise?" She asked holding her pinkie out.
"I promise." He said locking his with hers. "Tell you what, I'll show you my old dorm." He said carrying her up to the Gryffindor common room and to the old dorm he once slept in.
"What bed was yours?" She asked looking around.
"That one." He pointed to a now perfectly made bed.
"Can you show me where you and Ginny used to go to kiss?" She asked as he turned red.
"Ginny and I barely kissed here we were only dating a little when I had to leave." He said sitting down on his old bed.
"Why did you leave?" She asked him.
"I left because people needed me to do something important." He said not wanting to explain it to a 4 year old.
"Did you miss mommy and daddy when you were here, they told me they weren't around." She said sitting on her brothers lap hugging him and he realised she thought he was lonely.
"I did miss them but I had people tell me all about them like Sirius, Hagrid and all my teachers." He said thinking back to his Hogwarts days. "I used to miss them on Christmas." He said to her.
"I missed you when you were asleep." She said Harry knowing she meant the coma.
"Yeah, it was sad that I missed seeing you and Abi grow up a lot." He said to her.
"Abi and I are best friends, but how am I her auntie if she's older?" She asked him.
"Because I'm your brother so Abi is my daughter so she's your niece same way Teddy is your nephew." He said smiling at her innocence.
"Ok." She said not wanting to be confused. "Do you miss it here?"
"Teaching, yes I do, so I'm coming back to do it soon." He said to her.
"When Harry?" She asked looking up at him lovingly.
"I'll teach when all those bad people are caught." He said hugging her. "Now, how about we go for a nice dinner Maria?"
"Ok." She said staying in her brothers arms.
Harry then decided to bring her to his old favourite Muggle restaurant in the London Underground taking a half hour to fly there and seeing no posters decided it safe to eat. He ordered himself a burger and chips and the same was ordered for Maria as they ate in fun conversation and talked about all her favourite things and her asking about his. He decided at 7 to bring her home as it was dark and he wanted her in before his parents got back.
"Harry, can we snuggle?" She asked him yawning.
"Ok." He said as she nestled beside him and drifted off asleep. By 9:20 his parents returned home seeing Harry and Maria asleep on the sofa with Maria in his arms.
"Harry." Lily said quietly as she woke him.
"Hi." He said softly putting Maria to bed.
"No problems I trust?" James asked him.
"None, she's the best." He said smiling.
"You owe your mom for that, it was her idea you relax with her for a while." James said smiling.
"Well I'll have to have days out with her and the kids more." Harry said smiling at the idea.
