Chapter 13

"This Is Qiana Xaria Weasley."

"Ahh! She's so cute." Hermione Cooed. Harry thought, 'and so are you. No wait, I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO THINK THAT, OH NO!' Well as the above sentence came out of her mouth, Harry nodded along, not really knowing what to say.

'Poor, Harry, he looks lost, but he's so cute, holding our goddaughter, WOW, can't believe, Ron and Luna made us godparents! Damn, he's handsome. NO, I DID NOT JUST THINK THAT, NO I CANNOT THINK THAT. He's my best friend, he'll be happy with some girl someday and I'll be happy with some guy, FAT CHANCE, Who in there right mind would date me? Dammit why am I so smart, yet I put my self down like this?'

"Hermione, Earth to 'Mione?"

"Oh, sorry, Harry, lost in thought , what'd you need?"

"Just wanted to know if you wanted to hold Qiana?"

"I'd love to."

'Ahh, she's so beautiful holding, Ron's daughter, wow, Ron, Ron Weasley, has a daughter, oh my god! This is going to take some getting used to, and God she's beautiful, she's going to make some bloke so happy, while I whither away, alone as I've always been.'

"Harry, Harry, Harrykins."

"What? What'd you want Ron?"

"Going off into space are we?"

"What? I'm not going to be an astronaht! Why would I be an astronauht?"

"Astro-what? What in Merlins name are you talking about Harry?"

"Oh, sorry, an astronauht, is someone who goes up into space."

"Really?"

"Yeah, Ron, shall I get you some books on it?"

"Would you Hermione? I gotta check that out!"

Thirteen Months later, Dinner at the Burrow.

"Mum, Dad, everybody, Dean and I have an anouncement."

"What is it, Ginny dear?" asked Molly. As everyone else looked on expectently (Everyone is there but, Percy, the bastard).

"Well, Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Weasley, I um, I asked Gin to marry me and she's accepted!" Dean answered nervously.

"Oh, Dean dear, call us Molly and Arthur, we will be your future in-laws."

"Thank you, Molly."

"Congratulations Ginny and Dean!" Chorused The Twins, Bill, Charlie, Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Luna.

"When's the wedding?" asked Fred.

"August fifthteenth."

"That soon!"

"Why not?"

"Have you picked who you'd like in the wedding party, yet?" asked Molly.

"I'm going to ask Seamus to be my best man. Harry, Ron, will you be groomsmen?"

"Of course, Dean" Harry replied.

"I'd love to," Ron answered.

"Yeah, and at the rate Harry's going, you'll never be a best man," joked George, "How many dates have you been on, mate?"

"One," Harry whispered.

"ONE! The Great Harry Potter has only been on one date! What is wrong with you man?"

"Uh, it was more like half a date, I left to meet with Hermione, halfway through."

"You mean fifth year and the disaster with Cho?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah," Harry blushed.

"a ar ari ari"

"Ahh, how sweet. Qiana, come here baby."

"ari"

"Yeah, I'm Harry!"

"ari."

"Wow! She just said my name!"

"ermi, ari, ari, erni."

"I think she's talking to you guys."

"Of course she is, Harry and Hermione watch her all the time."

"Is she calling you Hermy?" Charlie asked Hermione.

"Yeah! And it's all Harry's fault."

"What, what'd I do, Hermy?"

"Ugh, you, your gonna get it."

"Will I now."

"You just wait."

"Oh, I will."

Everybody else is just looking on laughing, at the antics of the 'lovebirds' who just won't admit it!

"So, Ginny, who's going to be your Maid of Honor?"

"Luna, will you be my Maid of Honor? And Hermione, will you be a bridesmaid, as well?"

"I will, Gin, I will."

"Of course Ginny."

"Who's the third going to be?"

"My sister, Tamara."

"Did she go to Hogwarts?" asked Bill.

"No, she's a muggle."

"Spectacular, A real muggle!"

"Oh, Dad!"

"My parents are muggles as well, Mr. Weas... Arthur."

"Are they really, now, Dean?"

"Yes, Sir, I was hoping our, families could have dinner together, one of these days."

"That would be lovely, Dean dear."

Diagon Alley, a few weeks later. Harry's walking down the alley, back home from his job, for the past year, a clerk at Flourish and Blots, when pow! Smack he and another gentlemen went.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, sir." Harry and the other man said at the same time. Then saw who the other was.

"Harry!" "Neville!"

"How you been? Where have you been off to?" At the same time.

"You go first, Neville."

"Thanks, Harry. I've been well, I became a Herbologist, spent the past few years in the South American Rainforests."

"Have you Really?"

" Yeah, it's where I've been, now I'm back, stuck looking for a job, and trying to get my book published."

"You wrote a book!"

"Yes, I did!"

"Fantastic, why don't you talk to Misters Flourish and Blott?"

"That's a great idea, and what have you been up to Harry, since you know?"

"Yeah, I know all too well. I became an Auror, three years of training, two years active, before they dissmissed me, since then I've lived with Hermione, working at McDonald's, and now Floursh and Blotts, plus I've babysitted Qiana, quite a bit the past year."

"Who's Robin?"

"Oh, yeah, of course you wouldn't know, Ron and Luna's daughter, she's just over a year."

"Wonderful!"

"She's a great baby!"

"So, how long have you and Hermione dated? I always knew it'd be the two of you!"

"What?"

"Well, you and Hermione are living together, aren't you dating?"

"No, we're not, she's going to school, now, was laid off as an Auror, like me. What about you, Neville, any woman in your life?"

"No, I've had quite a few girlfriends, but not the one yet."

"So, what are you going to do, now your back here in the UK?"

"Looking for a greenhouse, to do my research in."

"Are you looking for any particular place, or type of place?"

"No, why, do you know somewhere!?"

"I have greenhouses at the Potter manor, and there's some living quarters near, one, you would be free to work there."

"Are you serious, Harry."

"That I am, I'm not really using the greenhouses, and I'm pretty sure greenhouses four through six are unoccupied."

"Can we check them out?"

"Of course."

And so, Neville moved into the cottage by the greenhouses and resumed his experimenting and work, plus got his book published, due out the following August! Just in time to make the Hogwarts book list!

~~~

There's another chapter, Neville, will probably reoccur at least for a little while, and Some funny oh no things will probably happen to put Harry and Hermione on the rocks.

Review PLEASE, and to those who've reviewed the past chapters, Thank you!
