A week before school, Ron found himself being dragged through Diagon Alley by his very excited eleven-year-old daughter and their curious younger kids. Hermione walked calmly along with them and allowed John to go off and by his things before meeting him in the robe shop. "For Hogwarts." Said Ron as Alex jumped up on a stool.

"Your children are lovely. How old are they?" Madam Malkin as she worked on Alex's robes. Ron wondered how women could make a conversation after a simple compliment on ones child.

"It's called manners Ron. Something I'm sure Mrs. Weasley told you a lot about but you chose to ignore." Said Hermione smartly as they entered Flourish and Blotts.

"Manners? Yeah right. It's just away to find out about some one's personal life." Ron muttered, dropping Alex's first year books into her cauldron just as some one crashed hardly into the back of him. "Hey, watch it!" Ron turned around and came face to face with Draco Malfoy.

"Ah, Weasley, imagine seeing you here of all places. I was sure you'd have followed in your fathers footsteps and." he stopped when he noticed John and the three younger boys appear at Ron's side. "Oh, I see you an the mud blood have already." Ron's face reddened and John glared at Malfoy.

"You have some nerve." He muttered and Malfoy frowned at him.

"I have two kids, not five red haired demons. You would have thought being the cleverest witch in our year she would have known not to make the same mistake your mother did." He reached into Alex's cauldron and pulled out one of her books. "Funny really. I remember seeing your father having to buy you the same books from over there." He nodded over to the second hand books, which were very beat up.

"Who knows if the younger three will be lucky and Granger will leave you and find some one with real money. Maybe Potter will leave your sister and get with her." Ron suddenly grabbed him by the front of his robes and his younger children were bouncing excitedly up and down next to their older brother.

"RON!" yelled Hermione, and pointed her wand at the two men, causing her husband to quickly let go while people stared in shock. She grabbed her husband under his arm and had her children follow her out while everyone stared. "We'll talk about this later." She muttered and sent John to take Alex to get new quills and parchment. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Now, I'll be right over there looking in the Quidditch shop. You'll be ok, right?" John asked and Alex frowned at her older brother. She held her hand out for her money.

"I think I can handle it." She answered smartly and John playfully tugged on one of her pigtails before going across to the Quidditch shop and wait for her. As she walked threw the shop, Alex hummed to herself and looked at the items.

"Hey, can I help you?" came a voice and she jumped and face a blonde boy around her age. He was very handsome and kind. She smiled a little and began to twist her hair around her finger.

"Yeah, I'm a first year and." he smiled brightly and took her hand.

"Come with me. I know exactly what you'll need. I'm a first year too. My name is Justin Boot. What's yours?" he asked, looking at her. He was about two inches taller than her, and had lovely blue eyes.

"Uh, my name is Alex Weasley." She said and he grinned brightly at her and handed a package to her. She noticed the entire time he was leading her to the items labeled Hogwarts, First year. "Thanks." Said Alex and he grinned.

"Happy to help a lovely lady. So, what house do you want to be in?" Justin asked a s they went to pay for their items.

"I'm gonna be a Gryffindor, like my mum nad dad and older brother." She said happily.

"Well that's what house I'm aiming for. My dad was a Ravenclaw, but I'm more of a dare devil than him so I suppose Gryffindor will be way more adventerous than Ravenclaw." Justin explained. "Hopefully, I'll be seeing you on the Hogwarts Express?" he asked and Alex blushed.

"Hopefully." She agreed, and watched him leave.

"Hey there lovely!" came a cheerful voice. When Alex turned around, Sirius and Remus were standing behind her with cheerful smiles.

"Uncle Sirius! Uncle Remus!" she cheered and hugged them.

"Thought we saw that familiar Weasley red hair. Then we spotted two little boys running excitedly around the Joke Shop down there." Said Remus. "had the same hair."

"So I suppose thisl'll be your first year at Hogwarts, right?" asked Sirius, leading the little girl out the shop and meeting John.

"Yup!" she agreed. John happily greeted the two older wizards. "So, we'l see you around then?" asked Alex. Sirius nad Remus exchanged looks.

"Sonner than you think, love." Said sirius and the two Weasley kids walked off to meet their parents at the ice cream shop. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hermione was sitting on the couch with a book in her lap when Ron entered the living room soaking wet and bubbles in his hair. He glared at his wife who hid her smile behind her book. "Why did you make me give them a bath?" he asked her. She looked over her book and smiled at him.

"Did you get them in bed?" she asked and he nodded.

"Yeah, after wresling them into their pajamas. I can't wait until thte day we're taking them to Diagon Alley for their school supplies." He said. He sat at the end of the couch nad Hermione was reading a book with great intrest. "What are you reading?" he asked.

"A book your mum sent me. It's very helpful when raising five kids." She said, showing him the cover which showed a picture of two parents trying to control six very energetic children between the ages of two and eight. "And by the way. We're going to visit my parents tomorrow." She added quickly. Ron jumped up.

"WHY!" he yelled and she snapped her book shut, glaring at him.

"Well my mum wants to see her grandchildren in person! And just because my dad is still holding a grudge against you doesn't mean my mother has to suffer!" she snapped.

"Hermione! The man hats me because I married you!" he yelled and she looked at him sadly.

"He still loves you though. he's just afraid to show it cuz he's my dad and you took me away. he'll change once you two have some quality time. Alright?" she suggested and Ron frowned a bit.

"Fine. but I'm doing this for your sake." Hermione smiled triumphantly and put her arms around his neck, kissing him.

"I thought you'd see things my way." She said happily. They were kissing when they heard a sudden crash.

"MUMMY!" screamed Jordan and they quickly parted. Hermione sighed and buried her face into her husband's shoulder and groaned.

"Are you sure your parents are ready for this?" he asked. She looked up at him.

"After you spent that one summer with us, I'm sure they'll be a little prepared."
