~CHAPTER 2~

A/N- This chapter contains a very brief spoiler for OotP, so be warned. Also, thanks for all you're wonderful reviews, I rather like 'em! I guess I should also add that Harry Potter or any of the other characters (besides Jamie) belong to me; they're all J.K. Rowling's, of course. Jamie, however, is mine, and I'm rather proud of her.

Hermione arrived not long after Ron, and after a delicious meal of hamburgers and chips, they sat around the small lawn table in the Potter's back yard, sipping lemonade and watching Jamie play with her 'broomstick'.
"Say, Harry, do you remember the time that woman from the ministry banned you from Quidditch?" asked Hermione, stirring her drink with a straw.
"Yeah, Professor Umbridge, wasn't it? Couldn't stand her," Harry replied. "All I did was give that Malfoy a good ol' slug in the stomach-"
"That he rightly deserved!" interrupted Ginny. "The way he carried on about Mum and dad like that, I liked to hit him myself!"
They watched Jamie play for a bit longer, then Ron leaned in a bit.
"You know, Harry, that's not just a model she's got."
Harry looked at him, bemused, waiting for him to continue.
"It's a real Nimbus, I've only put a shrinking charm on it." Hermione nearly spit out her drink.
"Wow, Ron, that's incredible!" she cried. Harry smiled at his friend, then became serious again.
"Ron, how did you afford it? I know Nimbus's aren't the newest models, but still--"
"No worries, mate. Quidditch pays quite well, and I felt it's only right to dote upon my only niece, after all you've done for me."
"Oh, Harry, are you going to teach her to ride it?" Ginny asked excitedly. Harry glanced back out at the yard, at his daughter, and then looked at Ginny.
"I think she's ready, yes." He looked at Ron and winked. "By the time we're through with her, we might have another Quidditch player in the family."
"Maybe even a Seeker," said Hermione, smiling.

A/N-next comes the part where Harry teaches her to ride! Aaawwww!!!
