^&*Recap*&^

"Thank you" Harry replied, looking over at the calendar on the wall. 2 weeks. Just 2 weeks until he could back to Potter's Pad!

"SURPRISE!" Yelled out a chorus of voices as Harry stepped through the door.

"Happy Birfday daddy!" exclaimed Lily, running over to her father and giving him a hug.

"Thanks Lily-Flower" Harry replied, returning the hug and smiling.

With that, everyone else gave their hugs and Happy Birthday's.

"Daddy! Daddy! Guess what?" shrieked Lily, her face lit up with glee.

"What Flower?" Harry asked, looking down at his daughter.

"Wait, I hafta ask mommy if I can tell you! I'll be right back." She promised, before taking off to find Ginny. Harry just smiled and shook his head at her retreating figure.

"What was that about?" Ron asked, indicating Lily's sudden retreat.

"No idea" Harry said with a smile, shaking his head again.

"Daddy!" Squealed Lily, coming back over to where he was standing, but accompanied by all the Potter's this time.

"What is it?" Harry asked, swinging Lily up into his arms.

"Mommy said I can tell you your birfday pwesent!" She exclaimed.

"Alright, fire away." He responded, slightly curious as to what had Lily so excited.

"Wait!" Exclaimed Holly "Everyone has to here our present!" She said.

"Alright." Harry said, "Excuse me!? Can I have you attention please?" He called out.

"My daughter wants everyone to hear my present" Harry explained, before turning back to Lily.

"Daddy, for your birfday, mommy decided to……adopt Sawah!" Exclaimed Lily, a big smile lighting up her face.

"W-Wow!" Exclaimed Harry, looking shocked, but than a huge smile lit up his face too.

"Thank you!" He exclaimed, wrapping his family up in a big bear hug.

"Does 'Rah know?" He asked, looking quite curious.

"Yea, I told her about it a week ago. The doctor's said that ever since than she's been doing better, because now she has something to live for!" Announced Ginny proudly, a grin lighting up her face as well.

"Gin, you're amazing did you know that?" Harry asked, looking at Ginny fondly.

"Yes!" Ginny replied, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

When Ginny said this, everyone laughed, well the adults and older kids did anyway.

For the next couple of hours, Harry opened presents, ate cake and ice cream, and just had fun.

"Hey do you guys remember that one time when we-" Harry was abruptly cut off, by the arrival of a bunch of Hogwarts owls!

"Doug, Robert, Hailey, Mackenzie, Kurtis, Dylan, Katy, Elizabeth and Scott! Your letters are here!" Harry called out, beaming with pride that his children had made it.

"Kitty! We made it! We made it!" Elizabeth and Scott cried out, dancing around with their older sister.

"Yes you did!" Katy replied, beaming down at them, happy for them.

That night, after everyone had left, the Potters sat around in their living room. They were just relaxing and talking.

"Hey Betz, Sky, why'd you guys call me Kitty before?" Katy asked, just realizing that they'd called her Kitty.

"Dunno, but you wouldn't care if we kept doing it would you??" Scott asked, after a look to his sister.

"Yea, can we?" Betty asked.

"Well…okay." Katy replied.

"Yay! Kitty Kat!" Exclaimed Lily, an adorable baby grin on her face.

"Well alright Lilerz, you can call me Kitty Kat" Katy said, a smile on her face.

"Alright Munchkinz time for bed!" Ginny said, shooing them all into their rooms, and giving them their traditional kiss goodnight. But, this time, Harry also joined in with the tradition.

          "Harry! Guess what!? Guess what?" Shrieked Sarah, when Harry came to visit her the next day.

"What is it 'Rah?" Harry asked, going over and giving her a hug.

"I got a letter yesterday, and it said that I got accepted to a school of witchcraft and wizardry! Warthosg I think!" Sarah exclaimed, a huge smile on her face.

"Yes! Oh Sarah! It's Hogwarts, and Ginny and I went their too! And Katy, Betty and Sky and their relatives are going too!" Harry said, pride shining in his eyes at Sarah.

"Oh, but Sarah, didn't you know about Hogwarts? At least one of your parents must have been magical for you to be at St. Mungo's." Harry said, looking slightly confused.

"I knew about magic, 'cause my mommy was magical, but mommy always said that I'd go to Salem in America, where she went" Sarah explained.

"Oh alright then." Harry said, not really understanding it all.

"Yep!" Exclaimed Sarah, for no real reason at all.

"Excuse me? Mr. Potter? You and your wife are going to become Sarah's guardians right?" Asked a doctor, who came into the room a half an hour later.

"Yes I am." Harry replied, wondering why this was of any importance.

"Well…We have some very good news for you, Sarah and your family" The doctor started "It seems, that Sarah's fight against cancer has……Well, it's  worked! She is totally free of cancer!" The doctor finished, beaming down at the young girl.

"Y-You mean I'm cured? I don't have to stay here anymore?" Sarah asked, looking so hopeful.

After the doctor nodded, Sarah started screaming and crying with joy. And Harry……well, let's just say he looked like he'd won the Championship game against Slytherin. And He was acting just like Sarah(Just without the tears).

"So, when can Sarah come home?" Harry asked, after all the commotion died down.

"Well, you'll have to get the adoption papers signed, and than, well, then she can leave." The doctor said, still smiling.

"They're already signed!" Harry said, remembering that he'd just signed them 4 days ago.

"So…So I get to go home with you?" Sarah asked, looking up at Harry, tears of joy in her eyes.

"Yes, yes you do!" The doctor said, looking extremely happy.

"Ginny!? Kids?!" Harry called, walking into Potter's Pad an hour later, Sarah at his side.

"Harry? Is that you?" Ginny called, coming from the living room.

"Yup, and I got a surprise!" Harry called back, looking down at Sarah.

"Kay, just for me, or for everyone?" She called back, her voice coming from the hallway that went into the living room.

"Everyone!" He called back, a smile starting to light up his face.

"Kay! Oi! Kids! Get you butts out here your dad's got us a surprise!" She responded, yelling out the last part to the kids.

Not even 1 minute later, all the kids came running down the stairs and into the front hall yelling out.

"Hi daddy!"(Betty and Sky)

"Hey Harry"(Katy)

"What didja get me!"(Lily)

These were only a few of the phrases Harry heard in all the commotion.

"Alright! Hush up you guys! If ya'll want to know the surprise, your going to have to shut up." Harry said.

After explaining everything about Sarah, and then the commotion calming down after everyone was cheering and such, Katy took her up to her room.

Katy and Sarah had to share a room.

All the kids shared a room with somebody. Holly and Mark shared a room, Betty and Sky shared a room, and Christina and Mariah shared a room.

But, the kids almost always bunked out in Katy's room, or just went in their before they went to sleep.

Tonight was no different.

"Hey kidoz" Katy said when the younger kids came into her and Sarah's room.

The kids stayed up late that night, talking about Hogwarts, how they'd miss each other, and just getting acquainted with Sarah.

By the time every one but Sarah had fallen asleep, Sarah felt like she belonged with this family.

"Please God, Keep my new family safe, and say hello to Mama, Papa, Grandma and Grandpa for me." Sarah whispered, before falling  asleep with a small smile on her face.

A/N Hey again people! I'm really and truly sorry for taking so long! Really I am! It's just that my life is so messed up! My boyfriend's being a jerk, and he's all mad at me 'cause I asked him if he liked one of my friends, but he asked me that before, and I never got mad at him! GOD! Plus, my family is gay, I accidentally slammed my finger between the door, and its all purple now, and my nana has cancer! Ok, I'm going to stop blabbering now, and I'll get the next chapter up as soon as possible(which might take a while). Oh and I might have to put this on a break! Really sorry if I do, but it'll have to be done, my life is way to hectic to keep doing this. Anyway I'll let you know next time.

Luv 'n' Muahz,
