Hi guys! I'm out of school! I got out at 1:20 this afternoon! Now I can write all I want to and guess what, first, I get to go to the 8th grade and also I don't own this except for the plot and new characters. Now on with the story.

The next morning, Harry quickly got dressed and woke up his sleeping daughter.

"Wake up my princess, today is a very special day for you." Said Harry picking her up and taking out her pacifier.

Annabelle opened her eyes and rubbed them. She looked around the room and seeing two shiny wrapped gifts.

"Daddy, what?" asked Annabelle, pointing to one of the pink presents.

"Those my darling are your first birthday presents. Let's see what your grandparents sent you then we can see what I got you." Said Harry, putting her down on his bed.

Annabelle took the first present and looked up at Harry who urged her on to rip off the paper. She gladly did so and found a cute stuffed animal giraffe and some cute clothes.

"Dermy." Exclaimed Annabelle, putting the giraffe into her lap.

Then she opened the one from Harry and Caden. It was a singing night-light and some hair bows. Much to Harry's surprise another present came through the window by one of the school owls. It was from Hermione.

"Minny." Said Annabelle, looking around the room.

"Who?" asked Harry.

"Minny." Annabelle said again, scratching at the paper.

"Oh, you must mean Hermione. Yes dear, that's from her." Said Harry, as she ripped the paper off and found a collection of different things. Like, soft toy balls and blocks with the alphabet on them, which actually sung the song. Cute white buckle shoes and a stuffed toy cupcake with a candle on top.

"Don't you think that was nice of her?" asked Harry, picking her up.

"Yeth." Answered Annabelle, clapping her hands.

Harry gave her a sweet smelling bath and dressed her in the dress from her grandparents, the shoes that Hermione gave her and the nice gold name bracelet that he had just given her. Caden had one just like it from his mother; it had his birthday on the inside.

When they walked down to the Great Hall, Caden was standing at the door waiting for them.

"Happy first Birthday little sister!" exclaimed Caden, taking her from Harry.

"Be careful with her now, she's still small." Said Harry.

"I know, I know." Flustered Caden.

"Cadoo, Cadoo!" squealed Annabelle.

Harry opened the door to find that the Great Hall had been decorated with pink and white streamers that twisted and twirled around the room. The ceiling showed what the weather was like and it was a bright winter's day. It was freezing out but the sun was shining through the layer of clouds.

"Welcome. Happy Birthday Miss Potter, so nice to have you celebrate your glorious day with us!" said Dumbledore, giving Caden and Harry poppers. Caden pulled his and he got a nice hat and a brand new set of pure silver Gobstones.

Harry pulled his and got a shiny sombrero, a set of forever changing paints, and a wizard Chess set. Hermione came running over.

"Hello Harry! Happy birthday sweetie!" Exclaimed Hermione, taking Annabelle from Harry.

"She learned a new word this morning when she received you gift." Harry smiled, as Caden walked over to his friends.

"What was it?" asked Hermione, setting her down and giving her a plate.

"She tried to say your name but came up with, 'Minny'." Harry said with a wide smile.

"You are very happy today, why?" asked Hermione.

"Because it's my little girls birthday and today is test day! So have you picked out what you're going to be wearing to the ball?" asked Harry giving Annie some orange pieces and some milk.

"Well you'll just have to find out in three days won't you?" Hermione said, putting a bit of hair behind her ear.

"I hear that Odet used to go out with Ron. After her third miscarriage they decided to break up." Said Hermione, getting some toast and beacon.

"Where did you hear that?" asked Harry startled.

"Odet told me during out break the other day. They were going out for 4 years and she just couldn't take to have another miscarriage so she left him." Said Hermione, smiling at Harry's shocked face.

"I'd of thought that you would end up with Ron. I thought that you two would get married after school and then have lots and lots of children and you'd forget all about me and my wife and son." Said Harry, looking down at his plate with false sorrow.

"Oh Harry quit it. I told you, I haven't found that special someone yet and I hope to find him soon. I want to live in a nice house with three or four kids and a wonderful husband who I can look after and know that he'll take care of me. That's what Alyssa told me when we were friends, I guess she got her wish." Said Hermione, looking at Harry and his kids.

"I guess so. I hope the same goes for you. Have you heard from Ginny?" asked Harry.

"Actually yes. She got married to Dean Thomas and they have 4 kids. Two of them are twins, both girls, and the other two are one boy and one girl. The girl is the youngest, she was born the day that school started, Ginny wrote and told me." Hermione stated, giving Annabelle more fruit like grapes and apple bits.

"Oh, I see." Said Harry.

(Hallway)

The entire school was decorated for Annabelle's first birthday, the suits of armor would start to sing the 'Happy Birthday' song and sometimes forget the words. There were balloons on the walls and peeves would throw out confetti.

"I'll see you at lunch then. Bye Harry." Said Hermione, walking down towards her class.

Harry looked after her and noticed that she just got more beautiful every time that he saw her.

"Don't you think she's beautiful?" Harry asked Annabelle.

"Minny pretty!" exclaimed Annabelle, clapping her hands.

Harry smiled at her and gave her a kiss on the cheek and they walked into his class. Harry found a candle, rose and a picture of Alyssa. Harry put those things on a shelf so that he could have an area for his very beloved wife.

After five minuets of waiting students started to walk in. They were 7th year Gryffindor's and Slytherin's.

Down the hall Hermione was about to start class with 7th year Hufflepuff's and Ravenclaw's.

The Charmers were getting settled into their seats for Transfiguration with McGonagall.

"Good morning class. Today we shall be studying how to change an animal into a water goblet." She said, smiling inwardly at all of the sour faces.

"But before that, we are going to be doing our exams to see how much you've learned. So please get out your materials." Said McGonagall.

Everyone took out his or her things. Tina was already set up before class, she was determined to become and Animagi. And so were Caden and Marco. McGonagall clapped her hands and the test papers appeared on everyone's table.

"Alright you may begin. You have exactly 40 minuets to do this test." Said McGonagall going back to her desk.

(40 minuets later)

"Put down your quills the test is over. Please pass them up and I shall get them. Now please take out your wands, we are beginning our lesson." She said, everyone took out their wands and got a little white rat from Tina.

"They're so squishy, I don't want to pick them up." Whined Tina when she got to Caden and Marco's table.

"They'll be fine, I'm sure they don't even know that you're going to pick them up." Explained Marco, taking two out of the box.

"I think I'll let the other people take them out. I'm not touching these rats." Tina said, and walked away.

(A few moments later)

"Ok, pay attention. Give it three taps and say Vereverto. Like this, 1,2,3, Vereverto." Said McGonagall.

She had a bird and it changed to a beautiful gold goblet.

"Ok Mr. O'Rielly. Why don't you have a go." She said, smiling down at him.

"Ok, (He cleared his throat and tapped the rat three times) Vereverto." Exclaimed Marco.

His rat actually completely transformed.

"Very good Mr. O'Rielly. Ten points to Hufflepuff."

Marco and Caden did a high-five.

When class was over they separated because Tina had Arithmacy, Marco had Muggle Studies and Caden had History of Magic. On his way he went to go and visit his dad. When he got to the door with the most balloons he walked in.

"Hi dad." Said Caden walking over.

"Hi. I lit a candle for your mum today. I hear that during dinner today, we're going to have small cakes at every table and then after that Hermione is coming up to our room to open more presents. You should come, Hermione likes you and Annie a lot." Said Harry, ruffling Caden's hair.

"Ok, I'll come. I'll see you." Said Caden, running out of the room towards History of Magic.

"Good afternoon class. Please take out your quills and parchment, we are going to be taking notes on the school of Hogwarts. And please everyone take out your copies of Hogwarts, A History." Said Professor Binns in his long dragging tone.

Everyone did as they were told.

"Ok, turn to page 55. We shall be discussing what can be used in Hogwarts and what can't." said Professor Binns.

Caden raised his hand to ask something.

"Yes Mr. Potter," he answered.

"Why is it that no one can use a computer or a phone in Hogwarts?" asked Caden, being from a house that used those things.

"Well it's because those things can be tracked down. Hogwarts is very well hidden, if we used phones or computers then anyone would be able to find our school. Which brings me to our homework assignment, please everyone write me a report about electronic devices and how they could be used against this school." He said, floating around the room.

(1 Hour later, Lunch)

"So have you picked out what you're going to wear to the ball?" Tina asked Caden.

"I don't know. I'll ask my dad tonight if he can help me with it, I've never been allowed to go to anything so fancy before. Mum and dad would drop me off at mum's parents house while they went." Said Caden thoughtfully.

"My mum and dad too. Since they're muggles, they go to a lot of parties for every occasion. I had to stay at home with my weird older sister." Marco shuddered at his words.

"I always got to go with my parents because most of the time they are the ones throwing the party. I live in a huge mansion. My dad is the ambassador to Spain; we move and travel a lot. Before I came here like I told you I lived in Puerto Rico." Tina said.

They sat down talking about their families and served themselves.

(Head table)

"Have you picked a date in which to put up the decorations for the ball?" Hermione asked Harry as he sat down.

"Yeah, I was thinking why not tomorrow. Odet says that the snow will be coming sooner than she had hopped." Harry stated, catching his breath.

"Oh I see. Who's going to watch Annabelle?"

"I've asked Ginny to come and get her the day before the dance." Harry answered.

"That's wonderful! And then winter vacation is the week right after that. I can't wait to see your house. I'm glad we're not staying at mine because it's a wreck." Hermione giggled.

"My house will be a wreck after we get there. The day before we left for school, Caden tried to cook something and almost burned the kitchen down and Annie wrote all over the front of the house with my chalk." Harry said, shaking his head in sorrow for himself.

Hermione smiled at him and continued to eat. She would have a wonderful time with Harry and his family.

(Hufflepuff table)

"Would you look at that, they're flirting again. If they don't get married after this I don't know what I'm going to do." Caden said, stuffing a roll into his mouth.

"I hear yah mate." Said Marco, with his strong Irish accent.

"You guys are disgusting. Why can't you be more like Jeremy, he's always nice and clean and he doesn't stuff his face." Said Tina, waving at him at the Gryffindor table.

"We could be, but I don't see the need to. We don't have anyone to look spiffy for." Said Marco, grinning weirdly.

"Oh shut up!" exclaimed Tina hitting him playfully.

(Teachers table)

"Who do they remind you of?" asked Hermione, giving Annabelle a peanut butter sandwich.

"I don't know?" said Harry after a few moments of racking his brain.

"Us! See Marco is Ron, I'm Tina and you are Caden. Do you see it now?" Hermione said, smiling.

"Yeah I see. And I suppose Annie is going to be like Ginny always tagging behind them. But she won't be joining them until they're 21. They won't be together." Said Harry turning around and smiling at Annabelle.

"But, maybe she'll have a sister or brother to hang out with. If you get married of course." Hermione said, trying to give Harry more clues.

Harry spun around startled at this. Then when Hermione turned away he smiled to himself and went back to Annabelle.

A/N: HI GUYS! I'M SO SORRY THAT IT TOOK SO LONG. MY COMPUTER WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. I'M OUT OF SCHOOL NOW SUMMER HAS STARTED! I'LL BE UPDATING MORE. SORRY ABOUT THE WHOLE MESS UP WITH THE DATES. I JUST WANT THEM TO QUICKLY GET TO HARRY'S HOUSE SO THAT THE FUN CAN BEGIN!
