Chapter 7: A View from the Top
An auburn haired woman watched the group from a silvery pool. She smiled softly as she saw the group of teens from very different backgrounds and countries, getting along, as if they were the same.
"RON!" Hermione screamed as she was pushed into the pool.
"Aww, c'mon Hermione! Have a little fun!" Ron said laughing.
"You Ok 'Mione?" Harry asked, extending his hand. A tall raven black haired man stepped behind the woman and put his arms around her waist. He, too, watched the group from the same silvery pool. He rested his chin on the woman's shoulder, and laughed.
"He's your son, always the gentleman," the man said
"Well, James, he learns from the best," The woman replied.
"Who? Not you muggle brother-in-law that's for sure, or your pig of a nephew, Lily," James said standing up straight.
"Sirius, James! He learned from Sirius!" Lily screamed. The couple continued to watch.
"BOO!" Colleen said as she snuck up behind Ariana. Ariana jumped back and fell into the pool, straight into Kevin's arms. Lily smiled.
"She is definitely your daughter, loves a good laugh," Lily said laughing.
"Just like her dad," James said, "At least she didn't take after Thomas,"
"Like Father, like twins, they sure have a habit of breaking the rules," Lily laughed
"Look at the tall boy with the blue eyes and blonde hair! He's flirting with my baby girl!" James said pointing at Matt.
"He's a good boy! You're not complaining about our son and his girlfriend! Do not pick on Colleen! Do you remember what she did to that Brett boy she went out with last year?" Lily asked, receiving a wince from her husband.
"Yeah, & I didn't approve of him either," James said. Lily looked at him "What! I was right about him!"
"Why don't you pick on Harry? What about his pervious girlfriends? Huh?" Lily argued
"He's a boy . . . nothing can happen to him like what could happen to Colleen, and plus, I'm her father, I'm supposed to worry about her," James concluded.
"She won't give in that easily. She has to kiss a lot of frogs before she finds her prince," Lily said as she saw Matt smile down at Colleen "And I think she's found him."
Lily and James Potter watched as their daughter walked into the kitchen to get some food.
"I wish daddy was here to meet Matt," Colleen said to Harry who followed her.
"Yeah, and mum would love 'Mione," Harry said
"Oh Colleen," James said, wanting so much to give her a hug.
"Harry, I do love Hermione, she reminds me of myself," Lily said, her emerald eyes misty.
"Somehow, someway, we'll get down there," James said, crossing his arms over his chest, "My twins need me."
"Voldemort is well again James, and this time, he's not going after just Harry, now that Colleen's in the UK," Lily explained.
"Why were the separated in the first place? And Why you sister Petunia? And why my brother Thomas and the States?" James ranted.
"The International Ministry of Magic thought it would be best if they were separated," Lily explained to him.
"They are Potters; Potter twins always work better together. Like Kate and I," James said
"There's no doubt in my mind that they are not Potters. They sure act like them,"
"What's wrong with being a Potter?"
"I didn't say there was anything WRONG. Aww look at him," Lily said of Harry "Those Potter boys, sure know how to make a girl feel loved."
"My Little Girl," James said of Colleen, "She's grown up, too soon, too fast."
"They both have," Lily said.
The group of young witches and wizards walked into the house after they'd dried off in the warm summer sun. The boys entered the kitchen to make popcorn as the girls flopped onto the couch and started their favorite movie, 10 Things I Hate About You. The American Teens, laughing at the silly Muggles, had to explain almost everything to the English Teens. During the part where Kat was joking with Patrick, Matt pulled Colleen closer to him and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"But-but..." James protested
"Shhh," Lily commanded. The slivery pool was left alone as Lily and James walked away.
So did y'all like that last chapter? Something a little different don't you think? R/R!
