This Chapter rambles... But it is necessary. This Chapter will make some people very happy, depending on what romances they root for...

"Daddy! Daddy! Mrs. Weasley is starting dinner," said A little girl of 6, with short black hair and green eyes just like Harry who had run up.
"Yeah Dad! Warren and Willa'll take all of the pastry!" a little boy the same age added on. He looked exactly like his dad, only with blue eyes.
"We'll get up there in a minute... first I'd like you to meet your cousin Delphine. Delphine this is Lily, and this is James" Harry said with a smile.
"Hello!" They said together, at which they fell apart giggling.
"Hi-"
"I really like your hair! I wish I had blond hair, but mummy won't let me change it." Said Lily, "Now come on! All the pumpkin ones'll be gone!" And with that she ran back up the hill.
"Now up you come, you see, there is a bit of a family reunion today, so don't get overwhelmed by all the red hair." He said, walking a little faster up the hill.
"Um, all right.." She didn't understand how you could get overwhelmed by red hair until she got to the top over the little hill. Outside of an odd little house with too many chimneys that stuck out at all angles there were maybe 10 red-headed children, added in with the red-headed adults, it was much like a sea.
"Thank goodness you've gotten here, we thought Vernon might have called those muggle please-men on you for kidnapping." Said a lovely black haired woman with blue eyes, obviously Harry's wife.
"Muggles?" Delphine asked cautiously, who was also trying to figure out how the little house stood up when it was sitting on such an uneven base..
"Muggles are what we call people who aren't magic, like those horrid parents of yours" said another man, red-headed.
"This is my wife, Sandra, she's from the U.S. if you can't tell by her accent, And this is my friend Ron Weasley." Said Harry.
"How are you doing Delphine? Were the muggles good to you? Anyway, since we're making introductions, That woman over there with the brown, bushy hair, The one trying to get all the kids to actually sit down? That's my wife Hermione" said Ron. Delphine laughed. "Lets go sit already, so you can meet Zachary, he's the only kid starting Hogwarts with you."
Delphine was a bit overwhelmed... like Harry had said she would be, Ron apparently had 6 siblings, who all had kids also.
"Hello, are you Delphine?" asked a boy who was apparently Zachary, to Delphine's astonishment, when she saw him she blushed... something about him was out of this world, not... human. He had red hair... like most of the group, but it was almost blond and pale blue eyes. She quickly recovered though.
"Yes, I guess your Zach?" Delphine said.
"Yep that's me"
"Could you tell me more about Hogwarts? And my Uncle? I'm sort of confused on about it all... yesterday I thought I was just some... what was the word? Oh yes... Muggle."
"Ok, I'll start by sorting out all the people around here."
All through dinner, he pointed out people and their names, it was very confusing. His grandparents had, had 7 children, only one wasn't there. Zachary was the son of the oldest, Charlie, and a French woman named Fleur, and he had a younger sister Michelle, 9.
Then there was Percy Weasley and his wife Penelope who had two girls, Pandora (9), and Paisley (7). Delphine thought that Percy seemed a bit stuck up.
Zachary's Uncles Fred and Goerge, each had an eight year old. Warren was Fred's and Willa was Goerge's, Even though Warren and Willa could pass as twins.
Ron, Harry's friend from before, had three children. Harriet and R.J (Ron Jr) were 6. R.J being one of the only children with brown hair. There was also Albus, who was three.
The youngest of "The Original Weasleys" was Ginny, whose last name was now "Malfoy". Ginny and Draco had 5 kids to boot. Draconia(6), Arthur and Lucius (4) (Which apparently was a big joke that Delphine didn't get). Then there was Virgo (3), and a wide-eyed little baby named Bill.
Then of course, there was Lily and James.
"My head is swimming, do I have to remember all these names now?" Delphine asked, pretending to have a headache.
"Don't worry Dear, " Piped up Zachary's Grandfather, "I still get them all mixed up." Which earned him a playful slap from Mrs.Weasley.
Delphine almost forgot about then all being magic until all of the plates went suddenly clean and flew through the air and into the house.
"Um... was that supposed to happen?"
Warren saw the shocked look on her face and became confused, "Dishes don't do that at your house?"
Then Willa stopped him, "She's from a Muggle house! Dishes don't do that! What do they use to clean them Aunt 'mione?"
"Dishwashers, Dear..." Said the Hermione in a matter-of-fact tone.
Paisley... or at least Delphine thought it was Paisley asked "They run on 'lictity?"
Arthur added to the question "What's llektisty?"
The rest of the night was spent surprising Delphine with odd bits of magic (Hermione turned herself into a Small brown cat to explain Animagi, while Ron and Draco played chess with little talking chess pieces that yelled at Draco for losing the wrong pieces, and Warren and Willa sped around on brooms) and just having a good time.
It was decided that Delphine would stay with Harry for the rest of the summer. Delphine was perfectly ok with that idea, even though scaring Dudley out of his wits sounded good...
