Chapter 14: The Son and Daughter of Harry Potter
A/N: I want to thank you all for reviewing, that's the most reviews I've ever gotten for a chapter, or even for an entire story, I'm flattered : ) Please keep reviewing!!!!
The five appeared in Dumbledore's office, and upon seeing them, Dumbledore let out a sigh of relief. He said,
"You've got her back. Good. Tell me what all happened." They went into the story of the battle in the Forbidden Forest and when they had finished, Dumbledore said to Blake,
"Priori Incantatem occurred with you and Voldemort?" Blake nodded, and said,
"Only because he was using Lily's wand."
"Ah, then that explains a lot." Ron said,
"What, why did that Priori thing happen?" Blake said,
"Lily and my wands share cores. The Phoenix tail feathers in our wands came from the same Phoenix." Harry said,
"Don't tell me the feathers are from Fawkes too?" Lily shook her head and said,
"No, from Ambrose."
"Who's Ambrose?"
"Your Phoenix." Harry raised his eyebrows, and said,
"I have a Phoenix?" Lily nodded, and said,
"Hagrid came across a Phoenix egg once and gave it to you. You named him Ambrose. When we were ten, you sent two of his feathers to Mr. Ollivander and he made wands for us. We always wanted wands with Phoenix tail feathers in them ever since we found out that our father and mother's wands contained them." Blake said,
"I want to know something, why was it such agony to hold onto my wand when Priori Incantatem happened?" Dumbledore said,
"I believe it's probably because your wands were not meant to be in a duel against each other because you're brother and sister. Harry and Voldemort's wands were meant to be in battle, so it wasn't as painful. At least, that's what I am assuming." Harry shook his head in disbelief and said,
"Alright, I want to know everything, from who you are, to why you're here." Lily said,
"Ok, I'm Lily Anne Potter, and he is Blake James Potter. We're the only children of Harry and Hermione Potter. We're sixteen and in our sixth year at Hogwarts." Hermione said,
"How do we know that you're telling the truth?" Blake said,
"Hermione, look at us. Would someone who's not the son of Harry Potter look so much like him? And would someone who's not the daughter of Hermione Granger look so much like her? With Harry's eyes?" Hermione said,
"Well, it could be some sort of charm making you look like our children. Prove that you are, besides your appearance." They thought for a while, and then Blake had a sudden idea. He took out his wand and said,
"Expecto Patronum!" Just like what would happen if his father conjured it, a silver stag erupted out of Blake's wand. It ran the length of the room and when it came back to Blake, it vanished. Lily smiled and said,
"He's more like James Potter than you are, Harry. He lives for pranks; the Marauder's Map was passed down to him, as was your Invisibility Cloak. Both have proved to be major assets to causing the mischief that he does." Harry said,
"That proves nothing. The only thing remotely close to making me believe you is the Patronus. I still don't believe that you're my children." Hermione, starting to believe it, said,
"I don't know, Harry, they might be telling the truth, look at her eyes. They're exactly like yours. I don't know any other person who has eyes like that besides you." Lily looked at her mother and said,
"You believe us?" Hermione nodded and said,
"So, does this mean I'm carrying twins?" Lily smiled and nodded. Harry, however, still not believing his children said,
"Ok, let's just say hypothetically that you are our children. Why are you back in time?" Blake said,
"We came back to fix yours and Mum's relationship so it'd be a better one in the future."
"What's wrong with it?"
"You can't even have a conversation without starting a fight."
"That's impossible."
"Thanks to our handy work, yes that seems impossible, but the way we were told the story was that when you found out that Mum was pregnant with us that you two felt you had to get married, though you didn't want to be, and have been fighting ever since."
"You weren't together before you got together." Blake said, confusing everyone. Lily said,
"I think what Blake was trying to say is you weren't going out before your little fling. So you felt you had to get married, and stay married for the sake of us. But all we've ever known from you two is fighting. You don't know us very well, you're so wrapped up in anger for each other that it seems you've forgotten you've got kids." Harry looked at Hermione, unable to imagine hating her, or even yelling at her. Depressed that she would end up such a horrible mother, Hermione said,
"So you came back in time to fix our relationship?"
"Actually, to help you start one, before the fling. And I hope we've succeeded."
"Well, we're engaged, so I think you've succeeded." Harry looked at Ron and said to Lily,
"So, where's this git fit in, or does he?" Ron threw his best friend a dirty look for calling him a git, but grinned when Harry grinned showing he was joking. Lily said,
"Ron's our godfather, and one of the people we consider uncles."
"One of the people?"
"Well, of course, you two don't have any siblings, so we have your friends as aunts and uncles."
"Like who?"
"Well, there's Ron, Lavender..." Hermione interrupted and said,
"Don't tell me those two end up together?" Lily nodded, and said,
"Let's see..." She turned to her brother and said,
"Who else is considered aunts and uncles to us?" Blake thought and said,
"Remus, Fred, George, Charlie, Bill, Ginny, Dean, Angelina, Alicia, Fleur..." Lily said,
"Yeah, we have a BIG family." Lily said, grinning and using her hands to signify big. Dumbledore cleared his throat and said,
"Well, I'll let you five head back to the Gryffindor Tower to talk, I'm terribly sorry, but I have some business to accomplish." The five left Dumbledore's office and headed back to Gryffindor Tower. Harry asked,
"So, how's the Voldemort situation in the future?" His son said,
"He's dead."
"Really?"
"Yeah, thanks to you. You're ten times more famous than you were before." Harry said sarcastically,
"Wonderful."
"Hey, at least you get rid of Voldemort." Harry nodded, and said,
"Yes, but it comes with a price."
"You deal with it. It dies down over the years."
"Thank God." Hermione said,
"If you've adopted the Weasleys as your aunts and uncles, then let me guess, since you're grandparents on both sides are dead, Molly and Arthur are you're adopted grandparents." Lily grinned and said jokingly,
"How'd you guess?" Hermione laughed and her expression suddenly became serious, and said,
"I'm guessing there isn't much of a mother-daughter relationship between us." Lily nodded and Hermione said sadly,
"I'm sorry, Lily." Harry said,
"So, since we're not very good parents, are you anything like us?"
"Oh yeah, we're a lot like you, though that's only what everyone else tells us."
"Like how?" Blake said,
"Well, Lily is the only one in our year to have read Hogwarts, A History." Hermione beamed.
"The revised edition."
"Ah, yes, the attempted bedtime story." Harry and Ron both burst out laughing, while Hermione gave them a classic Hermione glare. She said,
"What do you mean 'attempted'?"
"Well, let's just say that reading Hogwarts, A History, to his children didn't set too well with dad."
"Yeah, he said that we should have books about Quidditch read to us."
"And you should." Ron said, grinning. Hermione looked at Harry and said,
"Yeah, that sounds like something Harry would want, reading Quidditch books to his children."
"And half the stuff in Hogwarts, A History wouldn't be understood by five- year-olds. I'm sixteen and I don't even understand half the stuff in that book." Hermione, choosing to ignore Harry, said,
"So, how else are you like us?"
"Blake is Seeker for the Gryffindor team, been on it since his second year." This time, Harry beamed.
"Lily is a prefect, as am I." Both parents-to-be grinned.
"We're best friends with Ron's daughter, Julia."
"And Blake is a little more than friends with her." Lily innocently added. Ron said,
"And is possibly just like his parents when it comes to matters of... "expressing their love"." Both Harry and Hermione raised their eyebrows, and Hermione said,
"Blake!" Blake pointed at his godfather and said defensively,
"I never said that, and you know it!"
"Yes, but you implied it." Knowing he wasn't going to get out of this, he said pleadingly to his sister,
"Help." His sister, however, shook her head and said,
"Nope, I'm not helping you big brother. You got yourself into this, you get yourself out of it." Harry said,
"Yep, she sounds like Hermione right there." Blake said,
"What was all that earlier about not wanting to risk injury?"
"Yeah, but I'm not always going to bail you out."
"Some sister you are." Lily grinned her classic grin that made her nose wrinkle and said,
"I know; I'm the best." Harry said,
"So, I take it Ron and Blake don't get along very well?"
"No, they do, but just not when on the subject of his only daughter."
"Ah, I see."
"Though when on the subject of Julia, you're not among his favorite people either."
"Why, what'd I do?"
"I heard an argument once, something about raising an irresponsible son."
"Gee, thanks Ron."
"Well, you did raise an irresponsible son if he has the nerve to go and..." Hermione interrupted saying,
"Just, calm down. Let's not get into a fight over something that hasn't had a chance to happen yet." Both Harry and Ron agreed, and they reached the Common Room and entered. Harry asked,
"How long are you going to stay?" Lily shrugged, and said,
"I don't know, until we know for sure that our mission is accomplished, which by the looks of things won't be for much longer." They talked long into the night, never wanting the night to end, but the sun came up, starting a new day.
