It had been 4 years since Hannah arrived at Hogwarts, the first in a long line in her generation of Potters to go there, and she set a high precedent. She had made the Quidditch Team in her 2nd year and was named seeker just like her father. She also managed to be at the top of all her classes without much studying and with more friends than she could count.
Harrison had come to Hogwarts last year and tended to be more reserved than Hannah. His auburn hair and deep brown eyes had shown a quiet strength about him that made him the object of many girls' affection. Also unlike Hannah he studied hard to remain at the top of his class.
Hallie and Hamilton had just come to Hogwarts this year and proved themselves to be loud and goofy and also were rarely seen without there best friends Thomas and Helios Weasley, twin boys famous for their red hair. Hallie and Hamilton were not the smartest in there class but there constant jokes made them a favorite pair among their classmates. Hamilton had been blessed with Harry's brilliant green eyes and Hermione's brown hair which proved to be a winning pair. Hallie on the other hand was often told that she was the spitting image of her mother, but with quite a different agenda, one that didnt revolve around studying or reading, but rather boys, friends and jokes.
Regardless of their differences, the Potters were becoming a Legacy at hogwarts, known for brains, charisma, quidditch, and a kindness which was easy to see. Although Harry always told his children he didnt care if they played quidditch or were at the top of their class but he couldn't help but feel a touch of pride when he saw his daughter playing seeker and with nothing but positive compliments from all her teachers.
The past three years had proven to be busy ones, Hermione had triplets, which were a much larger handful than she imagined. The house although still quite full had lost the craze it had when the first four children left. Now they still had 5 in the house, but the triplets (Henry Albus, Harold Adam, and Heather Addison) slept and took naps at about the same time and Hilary and Hailey enjoyed playing with them when they were awake. And when the triplets slept, the girls couldn't help but feel as though there was some peace in the quiet, although after a while it did get a little wearing.
Hermione had put out a new book on Ancient Runes which much to her delight had been placed on the Booklist for Hogwarts students that were taking the class.
Harry had been sent on few missions for the Ministry, but thats the way he liked it. He didnt have to worry about people coming after him or anyone else. Life was bliss, utter happiness, and he had the family he had always been longing for.
Ron and Luna 4 children, the youngest Hilary and Haileys ages (6 and 8) play dates were often a saving grace for the adults, who would then go into the kitchen and discuss the latest developments in Quidditch or old friends, or the family.
Back at Hogwarts Hannah found herself on a trip to Hogsemeade, with a boy no less. His name was Landon Wood. He had a silent confidence that Hannah found endearing. In the past three years hannah hadnt found herself liking many boys. They all seemed intimidated by her accomplishments and the fact that she was daughter to the infamous Harry Potter, which had to have felt something like being the daughter of Elvis.
Landon was two years ahead of her and played keeper for the Gryffindor quidditch team and was also the Captain. His father was Oliver Wood, who Landon informed her had taught her father the rules of quidditch in his 1st year.
"My dad said that your father was the most brilliant seeker that Hogwarts had seen in many years... Although i must say i wouldnt be surprised if you gave him a run for his money" landon let out a grin through one side of his face, while Hannah blushed.
"I dont know about that" she was embarrassed, she really never got that way but there was something about the way he said that, it made her feel as though he was giving her to much credit.
"My brothers and sisters will be trying out for quidditch when they come to Hogwarts... there is enough of them that by the time my parents are done having kids we will probably be able to have matches in our backyard" she laughed
"How many brothers and sisters do you have?" Landon asked almost shocked that anyone would have that many kids.
"at the moment i have 8 but my parents are planning on having 12 kids" she said feeling slightly awkward
"Wow... that is a lot of diapers, why do they want so many kids?"
"Well i suppose its because my mother was an only child, and my father never had any family of his own. He grew up with his Aunt, Uncle, and cousin... Muggles, and the most anal muggles you could want to come in contact with at that. And in school is best friend was Ron Weasley, and the Weasleys had about 7 kids, and my dad couldn't help but envy that large family. It was something he always wanted. And so thats what he and my mom decided to do."
"I only have a sister and she is about 2 years younger than me. My parents got married a year out of Hogwarts and had me the year after, they both came from families of about 2 or 3 children, and they found that to be peaceful and normal, so that was what they decided to go for. Although sometimes i do find myself wishing i had a larger family"
"Well my parents got pregnant with me while they were at the end of their 7th year, they had both planned on being Aurors, and i was something of a surprise. So my mom decided to stay at home and write, while my father went along with his Auror training. She says she has no regrets, although she did say that having me so young was not easy, and told me if i ever did that i would be in deep with both of my parents because i should know better."
"Well they kept you and stayed together, which is more than most kids our age would do, and i mean hell they have had 9 kids together, and i assume they are doing pretty well in the matters of having a healthy marriage"
"Yah but lets stop talking about my family" she grinned "Did you hear about that Quidditch camp for over the summer... its an invite only thing but McGonnagal said they were looking at me as a possibility, i cant even imagine how much fun that would be! Playing Quidditch for 2 whole months!"
"Yah, i agree it should be pretty exciting. McGonnagal said the same thing to me, can you imagine"
Meanwhile Harrison was at school studying hard for the Potions Exam that was coming this Tuesday. As smart as everyone thought he was, he really just studied more than most of them, he has been told that was what his mother did also.
The common room was nearly empty except for a few female second years, who were in a corner laughing giddily about God only knows what.
He was just reading about the wolfsbane, when he felt a tap on his shoulder followed by a slight giggle.
He turned around to find that it was none other than Mandy Bell, Harrison had never been completely fascinated by girls, he was only 12 he didnt see the point just yet, they were only girls, not women, and he was just a boy, not a man, hell he wasnt even a teenager yet.
"Hi Harrison" she said now blushing slightly
"Hello Mandy" he said as confidently as he could manage
"I was wondering if you could help me," he looked at her not sure of what to say or whether or not this was some joke, Mandy may have been giggly but she certainly wasnt mean from what he could tell.
"With what?" he asked
"I am struggling a lot in Defense Against the Dark Arts, i noticed you are always answering questions and getting them right in that class, and i also understand that if you are busy you might not have time, but i was hoping you could possibly, if you had the time maybe consider... helping me...?"
he considered it for a moment, like he had said before, Mandy was a nice girl and he didnt see the harm in helping her to better in DADA and he knew she had trouble understanding the material so he politely agreed to help.
Hallie and Hamilton were in the midst of a Detention, cleaning the trophies in the trophy room... without magic. Hamilton joked that it was probably much more pleasant than cleaning the bedpans in the Hospital Wing without magic like Thomas and Helios were doing... that was not only cruel, but unusual.
The twins had been pranking the Slytherins, using some of the presents from Weasley Wizarding Wheezes that Uncle Fred and Uncle George had gotten them.
Hermione and Harry had received letters of notice on the twins detention, and even though they knew it was not a good thing Harry couldn't help but laugh at the formality of the letters, and the prank which it contained.
Dear Mr and Mrs Harry Potter,
Today, December 12, your son and daughter Hallie Potter and Hamilton Potter let loose a Portable Swamp complete with Alligator and stench, in front of the Slytherin Common Room making it impossible for entry and caused both students to be trapped in and students having to sleep in the Great Hall. I would hope that you punish these transgressions to what you feel is the proper.
Deputy Headmistress and House Head,
Prof. Minerva McGonnagal
Harry and Hermione never did have the heart to punish the twins, after all the Weasley brothers had done the same thing and had done quite well for themselves, as long as it wasnt dangerous they merely laughed it off.
Christmas time was coming, the Potter household was filled with merchandise from Diagon Alley which seemed to Double every time it was seen.
They had moved into a larger house in the past year. Their house was now a rather large near mansion in Scarlett Stone. It had 10 bedrooms 1 master bedroom, and 7 bathrooms. It had cost a small fortune, but Harry was sure that they would be glad they had it as the children grew. Not all the children had their own room he had Hallie and Heather sharing a room, and Henry and Harold sharing a room. Not because there wasnt enough room, but because they would wind up sharing rooms later anyways so they figured they shouldnt let the kids get used to the privacy.
There Entryway consisted of a large staircase and at the moment a huge Christmas tree decorated in the most yuletide of ornaments, and what looked like a sea of Presents. Their Living room was large, and their kitchen was much larger, big enough to hold all the Potters, (once they reached 14), but harrys favorite part had to be the backyard, completely surrounded by high trees, it had inside, a Quidditch Pitch complete with a small setup of Stands and the three hoops on either side
This year the weasleys would be coming over for Christmas dinner. It was sure to be an event, complete with Quidditch Tournament, Games and Turkey. Luna was helping out a great deal with dinner, because at the moment Hermione was 8 and a half months pregnant with the next little Potter, Heidi Nicole (who also had a few presents stacked underneath the tree).
When the the kids came home from Hogwarts, the house was again filled with the same laughter and chaos that had once chimed its halls.
Hannah could be seen searching the sky for the Owl Post quite regularly, it was over the Holidays that she would find out if she made the Quidditch Camp this summer. She loved her family and everything, but there was something about a six year old, three four year olds, and five month old baby that just made her glad that she would be gone. Finally the day before Christmas Eve, Hannah received word that she had not only received high marks on all her exams, but she had also made the QC (Quidditch Camp) for this summer along with Landon, and a few other Hogwarts players.
Christmas Eve came and everyone was anxious to wait up for St Nicholas in hopes to see what he would bring. But like every year, after making their name signs so Santa would no where to put their presents, a reading of the Christmas story and the Night before Christmas all the children marched reluctantly to their beds.
Harry and Hermione stayed up late though, talking about Christmas's from long ago, and the excitement they were getting anticipating the childrens reactions to their presents.
Hannah was to receive a Thunderbolt, the next step up from the Firebolt. It was the most expensive and high quality broom to date.
Harrison had been very reluctant to tell his parents what he wanted, but Harry knew just the thing that would make him a little happier... as it had gone in the Potter family, the first born son received the Invisibility cloak, so this Christmas, Harry decided it was time.
The twins received a cornucopia of Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes. The most expensive and hardest to get ones too.
Hailey was to receive a Nimbus 2000, and Hilary a Cleansweep. Heather and Harry (Harold) each were to get a Baby Quidditch set complete with little poles and bludgers that wouldnt hit you, and a rather large snitch.
Henry was going to receive a mini potions set that Hermione had found at the Apothecary. Unlike his brothers and sisters Henry didnt care much about quidditch and like Hermione preferred something that required an intellectual challenge.
Christmas morning came and the Children were in high spirits each loving there present from Santa and the presents they had gotten each other at Diagon Alley.
And after dinner, Hermione found herself in the midst of many contractions and she knew, a trip to St Mungos was to be made, and they would probably be coming home with their own Christmas present.
