Chapter 27

Looking on as he saw Elle with Neville Fred felt disgruntled. He was letting go but he didn't want to see her hurt again.

In actual fact though the last thing Neville was doing was hurting her. In fact he was making her insanely happy. She was beginning to regret turning him down when he had asked her to be his. She had done the right thing for that time she knew that but what about what was right for now?

Well she would go for it herself but things were too perfect. She didn't want to for anything upset that again, she just wanted to enjoy the peace while it lasted for her.

When she wrote to Dudley the night before it had been in response to one he had already written to her sounding deliriously happy. He and his mum and dad had all moved in to the village now and where setting up home together again.

Nothing was going to stop the three of them now.

Emily, her and Beth had been also getting on so well. It was just like the olds days and now Beth was going to be joining the family I of raving lunatics Elle was so pleased over this or things may have got very awkward that coming summer.

With all the good things in her life going on Ellouise just felt content. She wanted for nothing. She had her family, friends, what more did a girl need?

If she had one wish, it would be that life could stay this way for ever.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However on the fifth of that month yet another article a bout Harry and Hermione's non excitant relationship was In that paper. Had it been with his fast becoming beloved Ginny he would have got it but now, not quite.

The next day was a Saturday and the girls went in to Hogwarts and Ellouise's absences were noticed she had chosen to start and be with her Neville for the day yet again. They were so close now and just wanted to be together.

Now that they had a hot day they had chosen to repeat what had gone on valentines and went back to the lake for swim.

That night however was Elle really took joy in. she was as pleased as she to the next sessions she and Hermione had made for there training.

The repeated the charm they had done before and Hermione was thrilled for Elle when she saw will it was not as strong as her owl the fox stayed visible and stronger for longer, now they were thinking about what was next for the training.

It reminded Ellouise a lot of yoga what they had to do. She remembered that when she had lived at surrey Ella had done yoga a lot.

What they had to do was empty there minds and focus on there animal. Then they next had to feel a strong emotion and then when it was strong enough hand they were ready they would eventually just change she guessed from what Hermione told her.

Classes continued to go well for her expect potions as ever. She had to put her success last year down to pure beginners luck, for she had shown no talent for it this year.

With every passing day thought tell got more excited.

Her baby new siblings birth date was getting ever closer and she couldn't wait.

At home lily and James took a week off to be together and get excited themselves and decorate the baby's nursery.

They were so happy.

James ever so slowly came round to the idea of the in laws living in the village. He would just have too, what else could he do?

The week off finished and he went back to work. She went back to having her student.

She and Dudley had continued there magic and muggle studies. They were going now with some aims for him.

Science, math and English became classes they did three days a week as she was going to try and convince him to do his exams. He had to get some qualifications in his world as well as his cousins, if it was possible. Lily was looking in to in she wasn't convinced a muggle could get a wizarding degree but was looking hard in to it for him.

She felt bad that she had not brought in the three subjects sooner for him but she would just have to live with it.

Dudley in himself was better than ever before though. A happy healthy young boy he was content just to stay in at night and just be with them.

Mid May had come slowly for Elle but peacefully apart from the talk of the tournament with her brother.

"Do you think I can win?" he asked her one night.

"I've always known you could, she smiled up at him.

Harry found his sister so much like she had been in her youth these days. So happy…

One night though Elle's joy was taken to a whole new level.

Remus and Sirius came running down to Hogwarts and picked the two kids up. Lily had gone in to labor and had asked them to be fetched.

Remus left the two with Sirius when they got to the hospital as Lily also wanted to have her nephew there; Dudley was as much a part of her life as Elle and Harry were.

Things were a bit tense when he arrived back between Dudley and Harry. They hadn't seen one another in ten months. It was always going to be awkward.

Sat long last the labor ended and the three kids and god dads went in to the room.

Both lily and James were cradling a bundle each. They had twins.

A girl and a boy.

"Right me and your mother have come to a decision, Harry and Elle you can name them."

Elle would be naming the girl and Harry the boy. Slowly it was announced that Elle's new baby brother was going to be Mark Sirius Potter and Elle was left to chose.

It was a big thing. What ever she chose to day would affect the baby forever.

"Summer," she said at long last. "Summer Lauren," she said in honor of her best friends. Dudley nodded approvingly.

James looked at his family. Two of the best brothers ever. A wonderful, sensitive wife, two healthy sons, a couple of amazing daughters and a nephew that made him proud.

James could only do one thing. Burst in to tears. They all give him such pride. He had the best family ever.

"Dad, its ok," said Elle and hugged him tightly as he gave Summer to Harry, Mark was with his mother and James held his second eldest child tight. Once had got over the shook lily grinned at him. "Time to announce the god fathers I think," she said kissing Mark.

"Yes, your right, but have two now," he said to Lily.

"Well I guess we go back to the front of the list, Sirius it is," she said and Sirius whooped for enjoy, Remus immaturely feeling the good atmosphere of the room after they had just been given two happy healthy babies stuck out his tongue and pretending to sulk but deep down was quite pleased. He had Ellouise and she was all she wanted.

"So who's the other one?" asked Harry.

"He's in the room." Lily grinned.
