Hermione woke up one morning due to the sound of birds chirping. She turned around in bed so she could see her clock.

"Oh my god!" she yelled as she quickly dressed and ran downstairs "It's 11:07! Harry I told you not to let me sleep in! Especially on a day like today!"

"Good Morning," Harry said as he kissed Hermione on the forehead.

"No the morning isn't good! We have tons of people coming over for dinner and you let me sleep in until after 11 in the morning! Honestly Harry" Hermione said.

"Hermione, they aren't coming until 6' o clock."

"You obviously haven't cooked, cleaned and hosted for 12 adults and 8 children before, it takes quite a bit of time."

"Whoa Whoa Whoa, hold on a minute. First of all the house is spotless, you keep it clean constantly, which i personally have no idea how you do it with our children around." Hermione smiled when Harry said this.

"Second of all, how do you figure 12 adults? I only count 9?" Harry said.

"ok I'll go through the list again, but we have to clean at the same time," Hermione said.

"You clean, I'll go get Cedric, he should be up from his nap right about now." Harry said

"Ok, by the way, where is Lily and James?" Hermione asked

"Oh, lily is next door playing with Marcia, and James is at Quidditch practise, you know that minor league was a really good idea, I'm glad the ministry let it happen, James is really getting good for a 6 year old. By the time he gets to Hogwarts he'll be better than I was." Harry said

"You never know." Hermione Added

Harry ran upstairs to get Cedric and then he brought him downstairs.

"hello, how is mommy's boy?" Hermione asked Cedric

Cedric gave a goggle but Hermione knew that it meant he was good.

"Ok, Now can you go through the list again?" Harry asked

"Oh alright" Hermione slowly agreed.

"Ok Draco and Ginny" Hermione began

"That's two"

"Ron and Cho"

"That's four"

"Sirius and Serena Jr." (Sirius married Professor McGonagall's daughter who is Professor McGonagall Jr.)

"That's six"

"Hagrid and Maxmine."

"That's eight"

"and Dumbledore"

"see that's only nine, you said 12!" Harry complained.

"Harry, ME and you are going to eat with everyone else!, like duh!"

"oh yeah, I forgot, but that is still only 11 adults"

"Plus I invited someone else. Its a surprise." You will have a big surprised sort of thing after dinner. You won't understand now but I am on your side with any decision you choose to make and if its what you want, DO it because you will be great at it." Hermione said.

Harry look very confused but he said "Ok"

" And Draco and Ginny are bringing Zachary and Robert?" Harry confirmed.

"Yep, and Ron and Cho are bringing Annie ,Sara and Vicktor" Hermione added

"Who is Vicktor?"

"For Gods sake Harry, you forget everything, remember three months ago Cho had a baby boy! I can't believe you don't remember and he had been here many times since then, I swear you don't get enough sleep, Anyways I have to clean upstairs now"

"Ok"

"Keep the kids out of mess and sort."

"Yes I know Hermione, I'm their father, remember? Maybe you need to get more sleep!"

"very funny" Hermione said as she ran upstairs

Harry picked up Cedric and headed for the front porch. Just then James, the oldest of the Potter children, ran up the sidewalk and then into Harry. Harry nearly dropped Cedric, who was clutched to his side.

"So how was practise today?" Harry asked James.

"Awesome dad! I can't wait until I get to play at Hogwarts, how many years until I go?" James asked

"Oh about five years, down the road son, down the road"

James ran inside.
