Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the plot and Natalie Potter. Natalie McDonald is in the fourth book, so I don't own her either.

A/N: This is not the last chapter. "The Conclusion" is going to be the last chapter. Any paragraphs that have *'s around them are from Lily and James's point of view. If they don't, it's from Harry's.

History Repeats Itself Chapter Three

Harry stared at her. He should have been expecting something like this now that they were married. However, this came as a total surprise.

"How long have you been pregnant? What are we going to name her?" he asked.

"I'm two months pregnant. We could name her after my friend Natalie McDonald." Voldemort had killed Natalie McDonald during her winter break.

"Okay. Natalie Potter had a ring to it." Harry responded.

"Ron and Hermione have a son, don't they?" asked Ginny,

"Yes. A little boy named Gregory. He was born a few days ago, so he'll be seven months older than Natalie, and in the same year at Hogwarts."

*Lily and James didn't know what to think. They had known what was going to happen, but until that moment, they hadn't fully believed that Harry and Ginny were going to die. Now, they were shocked and not shocked at the same time.

"At least they don't know what's going to happen to them," commented the depressed James.

"But we do," replied Lily sadly.*

Seven months later:

Harry was holding his daughter for the first time, and Ginny was breathing heavily. Natalie had bright green eyes like Harry, and flaming red hair like Ginny. Harry was strongly reminded of Lily Potter.

"Her name is Natalie Lily Potter." declared Harry.

Ginny smiled. She liked that name.

"Natalie Lily Potter it is."

*Lily was delighted with her granddaughter. She was honored that Harry and Ginny named her middle name after her.

James however, was grim. Voldemort was getting stronger, and would most likely attack the Potters in a year or less.*

A year later:

            It was Natalie's birthday.

"Happy Birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,

Happy Birthday dear Natalie,

Happy Birthday to you!" sang Harry and Ginny.

            Natalie giggled. She wasn't quite sure what a birthday was, but it was fun!

Harry handed Natalie package. He told her to open it. It was a toy broomstick. He placed her on it and she laughed.

            Harry heard the front door burst open and an evil laugh the he quickly reconised as Voldemort's. It was clear what happened. Neville betrayed them.

            (A/N: It's pretty clear what happened. Harry and Ginny made Ron their secret keeper, but switched to Neville as a bluff. Neville betrayed them. Same old, same old.)

            "Ginny! Take Natalie and go! I'll hold him off! I've done it before anyway!" shouted Harry almost on instinct. Ginny whimpered but obeyed. Natalie was confused. Why had the fun ended? Something was wrong.

            Before Harry had a chance to attack, Voldemort had killed him.

            "Natalie, hide quick!" Ginny whispered franticly as she looked around for a place to hide, too. Natalie quickly jumped behind the sofa. Voldemort stepped in five seconds later.

            "If you tell me where your daughter is, I might spare you." Voldemort said smirking.

            "NEVER!" screamed Ginny.

            "Fine then. AVADA KEDAVRA!" Voldemort shouted.

            "Natalie, I have candy for you and I'll give it to you if you come out from your hiding place." Voldemort lied.

            Natalie crept out from behind the sofa.
