Harry woke up in the morning to find Lavender in the kitchen. She was wide awake, sipping tea and reading the Daily Prophet. her reading glasses made her face look so bright.
Because it was the last day of the term at Hogwarts for Emma and Ginny's second year, they would be expected home within a few hours. It was already 10:00, so Harry got to work on cleaning up the cabins that the guest would be sleeping in. A whole week with the people Harry missed most.
Plastera sat on her perch. This was not an owl, but a red pheonix Harry had recieved in his 5th year. Hedwig had died four years after Hogwarts was out.
By the time the first knock on the door came, Lavender had a huge table full of food to eat. Hermione and Seamus came in with their two children. Harry also found out the daughter's name wasn't Helga. It was Helene.
When the knock came, Harry dropped his wand on the coffee table, opened the door and hugged Hermione like a long lost sister. Then he embraced Seamus as though he was his best friend.
"Harry. It's been so long!" Hermione said, "Ten years now, has it? You look remarkably like your father now, Harry." She had a motherly look about her now, not at all like the smarty pants Hermione.
"Harry." Seamus said. He smiled his famous smile. Seamus had written books and was rather famous by now, "Harry." He repeated. "How are you, my good fellow?" He was holding a little boy on his hip, a fluffy blonde hair boy.
"That must be Sean." Harry said, letting the four in. He smiled at a little girl timidly following Hermione. She had long sleek brown hair. "And you must be Helga!" He said, squatting down to her level.
"Helga? Harry, are you insane?" Hermione said, and he stood up.
"What?"
"Her name is Helane, silly. Helga. Ugh. Reminds me of Pansy." She laughed with a fake gag. Then Lavender came out of the hallway. "Sorry. I had an unexpected visit from the pee fairy." Hermione turned and saw Lavender, and almost screamed.
"Lavender! You look great!" She embraced Lavender in a hug, "And look! Seamus! They're having another baby!"
"Make that two." Lavender said, laughing.
"TWO?" Seamus said, "Wow. Good job, Harry."
"Oh shut up, you big oaf!" Harry said with a smile. Then a knock came again.
"I'll get it." Harry said. He walked over to the door, and opened it.
Outside was Fred and Alicia Weasley.
"Harry, old chap! Been having some fun, I presume?" Fred said. If by fun he ment winning the Championship for the Chudley Cannons, he was right.
"Fred! Alicia!" Harry gave them each a hug, "So you two don't have any devils running around yet, huh?"
"Oh, we have one comming." Alicia said with a laugh.
"Really? You two, also?" Lavender said as she came up behind Harry.
"Wow these families just keep getting bigger. The Potters are going to be known like the Weasley's... too many kids with wild curly black hair." Fred said laughing.
"Hey it's only four!" Lavender argued with a smile.
"Thats what mom said. Then she found out we we're twins, and she ended up having a fit."
"Yeah, thats how her water broke!" A voice said from behind Fred somewhere. he jumped and turned around. George was standing there.
"Sorry Harry. The other Weasley's couldn't make it. Charlie's hand was half way burnt off and Bill's wife went into labor and Percy's dear Penelope had a hissy fit over how flu powder would mess up her perm.
"Hey George, you're looking so damn hot!" Fred said to his brother.
"You don't look half bad yourself, you sexy boy, you!" George said.
"Wait... you're wearing the same outfit as me! I'm flattered!" Fred said.
"Wow, Great mind think alike, eh Fre-"
"Come on in you two horny fellas." Lavender said, laughing.
"Speaking of horny fellas, Harry, I believe you and Lavender have two kids and are planning on two more?" George said sterny.
"Uh... well..." Harry said, blushing.
"I thought so, you naughty boy."
"Thats not fair, I don't talk naughty to my brothers."
"She may not be your brother Harry, but we don't want to know what you say to her in-"
"Hey Harry! Wait for us!" Harry turned around. He was about to close the door when another red head came up with a blonde and two kids.
"Ron!" Harry couldn't resist running out the door and embracing him like a brother.
"Hello, Harry." Parvarti said, kissing him on the cheek, "Having fun out here away from civilization?"
"What, Ireland? It's great."
"Harry! It's been ten years sense I've seen you! It's pathetic!"
"Not as pathetic as George and Fred sweet talking eachother." Lavender said, after giving Parvarti a hug and Ron a hug.
"Well, Harry. You know them... think to much of each other."
"I HEARD THAT!"
"Shut up, Fred!" Ron shouted.
"Anyway... want to meet our kids? Hermione, come here, sweety." A little red head who looked remarkably like Ginny stepped forward. Her face was bright red, for she was blushing.
"Ron... she looks...beautiful." Harry said, and he couldn't help but giving her a hug.
"I know. She looks just like-" Ron stopped.
"Never mind that, come in before you get stiff as a bored." Lavender said, escorting the four in.
"And Harry. This is Harriet. You know who we named her after, right?" Parvarti said, pointing to a girl with wild brown hair. She had a big smile on her face.
"Awe! She's adorable! Ron! You have your own little Harry!" Harry said, hoisting her up on his knee and bouncing her.
"Yeah, don't get to attatched, she's mine." Ron said, grabbing Harriet hastily with a laugh.
The next five minutes everyone spent hugging eachother.
Then came another knock. Harry knew it had to be Sirius. Everyone went dead silent.
As Harry opened the door, a man with short black hair bounded upon him.
"Harry! Harry I'm so glad to see you!" Sirius said embracing him. A woman with long curly red hair stood behind him. She timidly walked in behind Sirius.
"Hello, Sirius!" Lavender said, giving him a hug.
"Hello! Meet Daisy, my wife. She's got a little one of the way!" Said Sirius, wrapping his arm around her.
"Thats great, Sirius!" Hermione said.
For hours, everyone caught up. And then, Remus Lupin arrived with Emma and Ginny.
"Remus! Thank you so much!" Lavender said, inviting him in. He was one of the few who had stayed within close enough distance that he could come over to the Potter's every Saturday for tea.
After making a big fit over Ginny and Emma, all of the kids went into the nursery to play.
"So." Parvarti said, heaving out a huge sigh.
"Yes." Hermione said.
No one was quite so humurous now that the kids were gone.
"Shall we truly catch up?" Ron said, finally, speaking what everyone was thinking.
"Yes, Ron. We should." Seamus said. They all had their eyes on Harry and Lavender.
"So, Harry. I believe you are willing to forget what has happened in the past." George said.
"And that you want to put it behind you." Fred said.
"But we still need to talk about it." Ron added.
"Yes, Harry. It isn't easy to forgive us for what we did." Hermione piped up.
"Or what we said." Seamus seemed very vonerable now.
"I know." Sirius said, "That they never ment to hurt you."
"And Lavender... all the pain we must have caused you..." Alicia said. She was holding back tears already.
"I know you guy's didn't know." Harry said. Lavender just shut her eyes, trying not to remember that night. It had hurt so much, "But it did hurt Lavender. And it hurt me."
"OK, Harry. How did this all start?...."
