Rachel was an exact replica of her father. From the red hair to the long nose, "Weasley" was written all over her. The only thing she had gotten from Hermione was busy hair, and of course, a large brain.
Today was Rachel's fifth birthday. Unfortunately, her older brother and sister were at Hogwarts. Eric and Erin sent her chocolate frogs. Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny sent her a coloring book. Uncle Ben gave her some muggle toys. But the best present was from her mum. Hermione bought her a wand.
Rachel was still a little too young to be doing magic, but she was very powerful. She could do spells better than her older brother. She would practice by taking Hermione's wand when she wasn't looking.
Hermione bought her daughter a wand and Rachel started doing magic immediately. She loved her wand.

Harry Potter was sleeping in bed. He was having a nightmare. All of his life was flashing before his eyes. He could hear his mother screaming and then a brilliant flash of green light. Then he saw Professor Quirrel taking off his turban and Lord Voldemort's face in his head. Then he saw the memory of Tom Riddle and the basilisk. Then Peter Pettigrew begging Harry to save his life and he turned into a rat. There were dementors all around him, about to kiss him. Then he appeared in a graveyard. He could see Lord Voldemort being reborn. He saw Sirius Black falling behind the veil. Then he was watching Voldemort fighting Dumbledore. Voldemort was in him. But then, he saw Voldemort falling to the ground. He was weak. He was dying. Voldemort was gone. Harry had won the war.
Then a memory he had never had appeared in his dream. He saw Lord Voldemort being reborn, again. But this time, it was different. He had no deatheaters there to support him. They were all in Azkaban. But Voldemort was getting stronger and stronger. Where was all this energy from? Then Voldermort look into his eyes, though Harry wasn't there, and said, in barely a whisper, "I'm back Harry."
Harry woke up with a scream. His scar was hurting so much, he couldn't bear it. Ginny woke up next to him.
"My scar hurts Ginny."
Ginny was shocked.
"But that would mean - " she said.
"Yeah Voldemort's back."

Hermione was watching the telly while Rachel was taking a nap. They had just come back from a stroll in Central Park.
"AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
Hermione got up immediately and ran to her daughter's side.
"Baby what's wrong?"
Rachel was crying and panting. Her face was all wet and she was shivering.
"I had a nightmare mommy."
"Oh, it's okay sweetheart. Mum's here."
Hermione sat on the bed beside Rachel and cradled her in her arms. She rocked Rachel until she fell asleep.
