"But the Quidditch tournament, Alicia!" whined George. Jake was sitting on the couch watching as his parents argued out what was more important: the Chudley Cannons vs. the Wasp match that would be in another three weeks, or the fact Spinnett family reunion that decided to pop up on the same day. "We actually managed to get some tickets and if we can't go we'll miss EVERYTHING!" the red head announced. Alicia narrowed her eyes at him.

"George, I think me being able to see my family all together again is more important than any Quidditch match right about now."

"Aw, c'mon mum. You were a Quidditch player at one point. You know how important this is." Said Jake. "The last time we wen to one I was three."

"You two are obviously father and son!" announced Alicia in annoyance and stormed out the room. Jake looked at his father guiltily.

"You think we should sell our tickets to someone so that mum won' be mad at us?" George raised an eyebrow at his son.

"Now you're a lot more clever than that." He said. "I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what I've done by time I get home." George ruffled his son's hair and apparated to wherever he was headed. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jackie sat in a chair with her younger brother siting on the floor between her legs as she corn-rolled his hair and she talked to her friend Diana. Diane was going through a issue of Witch Weekly as the girls talked and Kevin sat silently waiting for his sister to finish. "You know, my dad is an auror and he says that there have been strange activities going on around Europe and that when we head back o school the teachers are gonna be on the train with us."

"What fun would that be?' asked Jackie. Diane looked at her.

"It's better than our parents." Kevin looked at the girl with a slight frown.

"Why would I matter? It's not like you have a boyfriend to hide from your parents." Diane glared at the boy and Jackie tugged her brother's hair a bit, making him cringing.

"Mind your own business twerp." She ordered and Fred appeared in he house.

"Hey kids." He greeted.

"Hey dad." They both answered. He yawned and went into the kitchen to find something to eat.

"He looks pretty tired. Is it really that hard to run your own joke shop?"

"He and our uncle George had a sale today and they also have some things that were to be shipped so they can be sold at the Quidditch match. They were pretty busy all together. She had just finished with Kevin when Jordan appeared in her fireplace. He came stumbling out, coughing hard and soon followed by Jake.

"Good after noon all!" said Jordan brightly. Jackie jus rolled her eyes.

"What are you two here for?" she asked. Jake pulled an envelope out of the bag he was holding.

"Give this to Aunt Angelina. It's an invitation to help Sara plan her wedding." He informed. Kevin pulled it out of Jackie's hand and examined it.

"Are we invited?' he asked. Jordan snorted and patted his younger cousin on the shoulder.

"It's a chick thing mate. We'll be hanging out with my dad and Uncle Harry playing Quidditch 'til the late hours of the nigh and drinking butterberr with rum."

"Uncle Ron isn't that thick, Jordan." Said Jackie, noticing how her little brother's eyes lit up.

"Hey, who said we couldn't dream?" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was the night before the Cannons match when Harry woke up from a sudden nightmare, his face covered in sweat. He reached for his glasses and out hem on before looking to his side at Ginny, who was sleeping peacefully. He leaned over and brushed a few strands out of her face. She let out a sigh and smiled a bit. Letting his wife sleep, Harry got up to check on the rest of his family. Josh was lying in his bed, his covers on the ground and pillow hanging half way off his bed. Harry just shook his head. The boy had always slept like this and there was no way to really fix I before every thing wound up back on the floor again. When he entered Sara's room, she was sleeping pleasantly, much like her mother. As for the wins, since they were young, they still shared a room. He kneeled next to his son's bed and examined him a bit. The boy had his features. but of course, Harry had gotten them from his own dad. Thing was, the twins came as quite a shock to everyone since they weren't one set of boys or girls, but a boy and girl. Also that hey resembled Harry's parents. He looked over at Lily who was sleeping with a eddy bear close to her. It was one that Fred and George had pitched together and MADE for the fun of it. Ron had added an animation charm in it so it would talk whenever lily talked to it. Harry got up and went into the kitchen, making himself a cup of tea and sitting down at the table. "Harry, what are you doing?" He looked up and smiled as a very tired Ginny entered he kitchen. She sat down across from him after pouring herself some tea.

"I had a little nightmare and didn't feel like going back to sleep." He informed. "What's your excuse?"

"I rolled over and wrapped my arms around nothing." Ginny informed. She looked her husband in the face in concern as he ran his fingers over his scar. "Does it hurt?": He shook his head.

"Not really." He lied and smiled. "So, were you worried I might have gone off on some mission without informing you?" he asked.

"With that Quidditch coming up, I doubt you'd be going anywhere far." Ginny informed. "Poor Ron and Hermione are going to have a handful with twins. You know how easily they get sick." She sipped her ea.

"I think Hogwarts is going to have a harder time with them once they catch the flu." Said Harry. "I promised to help Ron find a potion for that too. The twins need a special medicine to fix their immune systems back up." Ginny nodded.

"I don't know how Hermione can deal with it all. After seeing how she deals with her kids, I can' believe we had more kids after Josh." Harry snorted, causing his wife to raise an eyebrow at him. "Think that's funny, Potter. You don't have to deal with it all day." Harry was about to say something, when there was a tapping noise heard on the window. Harry looked back and say it was Fudge's owl.

"What does I say?" asked Ginny as Harry. Harry shook his head.

"I'm just glad we didn't buy those tickets. There's been a major attack and all major evens have been canceled. they've even shut down Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade." He answered.
