The year of 2003 was the calmest so far. It was filled with weddings and births and pregnancy announcements. Lee and Alicia were wedded on March fifth in a small Wizarding chapel with Angelina as the Maid of Honor and Fred as the Best Man, with about fifty people in attendance. Fleur was holding her youngest while the other two stayed by her sides. It truly was a marvelous sight.
Angelina announced her pregnancy on April 14, three days before Leandra Shacklebolt was born. Leandra was chocolate skinned with violet eyes and black hair. Harry had been named the Godfather with Kingsley's sister, Deidra, as the Godmother. Leandra was christened a month later at the same chapel as Alicia's wedding. Harry had held the sweet child with such adoration, that Dora favored him by calling him Uncle Harry.
Two months later, Alicia announced her pregnancy. Angelina thought this was wonderful because their children would be so close in age. The pair was inseparable until Alicia's child was born. Fleur had helped both through the pains and annoyances of pregnancy, and the three became closer in the process.
On October 13, Harry and Luna celebrated their second Anniversary. They had decided to stay at home and look over old photo albums and talk. They stayed up until well past three laughing and crying over the past. They laughed the hardest at Remus' wedding, but they cried uncontrollably when pictures of Ginny, Sirius, or Dumbledore appeared. For presents, Luna received an eighties style dress that Harry had bought. It was the exact duplicate of her mother's Graduation Dress, and Luna had it framed. Harry was given a golden lion figurine for his animungus with flowers at its feet.
On November second, Hermione and Ron had invited the Potters over to their house, which Hermione had inherited from her parents, for dinner. Luna had insisted on bringing dessert, and was currently in the kitchen, making chocolate cake.
"Can I just have a small piece?" Harry begged for the fifth time.
"NO!" Luna replied sternly as she checked the cake again.
"Is it done?" Harry asked anxiously.
"Yes, but you're still not getting any," Luna replied.
"No, I want to go, Hermione hates it when we're late," Harry defended himself. Luna nodded and grabbed her cloak. She was wearing muggle clothing, but she adored the cloak Harry had gotten her for her last birthday and wore it out as much as possible.
They arrived a few minutes later and were let in by Hermione, who looked a bit anxious. She took Luna's cloak and led them to the Dining Room. Harry sat down and played a game of Wizarding Chess with Ron while Luna followed Hermione into the kitchen.
"You're pregnant," Luna stated with such nonchalance it sounded as if she were talking about the weather.
"How…how did you know?" Hermione stammered.
Luna simply smiled and said, "Sixth sense." This caused Hermione to laugh at he younger friend.
"Did you tell Ronald?" Luna asked as she set the knives to chopping.
"Yes, of course," Hermione replied as she checked on the meat.
"So the only person who doesn't know is Harry," Luna observed, taking out the pasta.
"Yep," Hermione replied as they placed the food on the table and Harry and Ron cleared the table. That was the end of the conversation.
"Umm…Harry," Hermione said as they sat in the Drawing Room a few hours later.
"Yes Mione?" Harry asked curiously.
"I'mpregnant," Hermione replied in a barely audible voice.
Ron stood up and put his hands on Hermione's shoulders.
"What she means to say," Ron explained, "is that she is pregnant."
Harry jumped up from his chair and pulled Hermione up into a hug, spinning her around. All the while he was singing, "I'm gonna be an Uncle, I'm gonna be an Uncle." Then he put his 'angel' down and pulled Ron into a brotherly hug.
"This is so great, Accio two butterbeers," Harry said. The butterbeers arrived a moment later and he and Ron salute-ed, "To Ron and Hermione, may their child live a long and healthy life." Hermione and Ron smiled and Luna laughed. Then they started to talk of baby things and what the name should be.
