'It's Potter now' she said coolly 'where's your wife?' she said smoothly.
'She's next to Lavender and Dean and here I am with you and Potter'.
'Wow, it's a pleasure' she said and nudged Harry to help her, he hadn't noticed Malfoy was sitting next to her, he was to busy talking to Ron about the latest Quidditch World Cup.
'What are you doing here?' Harry asked
'The same thing you are' he answered back 'celebrating the Weasley junior's birthday'
'Don't call my niece that!' shrieked Ginny quietly so no one could hear except Harry and Malfoy.
'You haven't changed one bit, I have no idea what Padma can see in you' said Harry coldly.
'Oh, I'm sure you can think of some reasons Potter'
'No, I can't' he said stubbornly.
'What about I'm sweet and sensitive around her and people that like me and I like them, but people I don't like I don't say anything when she's around, but she's not around, so . . . yeah'
'Sweet and sensitive' spat Ginny.
'Yeah and charm, how else would have I gotten her pregnant?' he said slyly.
'Sick, disgusting and gross should be on the list too' said Ginny.
'That doesn't make sense, these are the reasons why she likes me' he said smirking, but Ginny remained calm and collected.
'Maybe she likes that in a person' she whispered. 'Check mate' she thought to herself. He turned around and started to concentrate on his dinner.
Harry and Ginny joined Ron and Hermione's conversation.
'I have been telling Ronald here that Rachel should start school now, she can take lessons with me during the day and then Ron can help her with the homework I give her when I go off to work at night' she said.
'I think that's what we should do with James' said Ginny agreeing with Hermione completely 'except I could help him with both class work and homework'.
Harry nodded 'okay, what can I do?' he asked
'What? Harry you're meant to agree with me here and say maybe wait till a couple of years before they go to Hogwarts, not 5 years before' said Ron, outraged.
'Yeah but you know how much trouble some kids have when they are brought up with muggle parents, they don't know anything' said Ginny.
Hermione and Harry glared at her; they were brought up with muggle parents or relatives in Harry's case.
'I said some; Hermione you're the most talented Healer at St Mungo's and Harry you're the best Auror the wizarding world has seen, how can you think I would say such a thing?' she looked a bit hurt.
'Sorry sweetie' said Harry and kissed her hand.
'That's okay' she said. James and Rachel walked past.
'Hey sweetie, did you eat all your dinner?' asked Hermione.
'I ate some, then when I finished James ate the rest of my dinner' she said looking at James, who was eating a chicken wing.
'James! You don't eat off other people's plates even when they are finished, there is plenty on the tables for everyone' said Ginny, sounding very like Mrs. Weasley.
Harry, Ron and Hermione laughed, Ginny was trying not to laugh at her son she smiled at him and Rachel. Malfoy turned around from talking to Parvarti.
'So' he said smiling at James 'I finally get to meet the new Potter'.
'Leave him alone Malfoy' said Harry and he lifted James up and placed him on his lap.
'I've heard so much about you, you're always in the Daily Prophet you know, you and your dad and how he defeated the Dark Lord' said Malfoy still smiling at James and paying no attention to Harry.
'My dad's a hero' said James proudly.
'Now, now James, let's go, you finished your dinner, we have to leave now, it's past Lauren's bed time' said Ginny getting up.
'Oh yes, the other Potter, heard all about her too, she looks like you and Ginny, not like this one' he said, also getting up.
'Yeah, we should be going, bye bye Rachel, thanks for the great party, see you at work tomorrow Ron, thanks Mrs. Weasley, bye' said Harry hurriedly, he grabbed Lauren out of the play pen and put her in the pram.
They waved goodbye to everyone and drove off.
'What a night' said Harry when he had put James and Lauren down to bed, Ginny was in the kitchen making a cup of coffee.
'I think we should ring Hermione and Ron and apologize to them about the sudden departure, we didn't even stay for desert' said Ginny reaching for the phone.
Harry and Ginny had muggle things and wizarding things; Hermione and Ron were the same, some muggle ideas were just a necessity for Harry and Hermione and Ginny and Ron didn't mind.
'Oh Hermione, we are truly sorry about leaving so suddenly, Malfoy was sitting next to me and when James and Rachel came along he started talking to James and I don't want any of Malfoy's ideas going in to James' head' she said speaking so fast Harry could hardly understand her.
After a bit of talking Ginny finally hung up and her and Harry went to bed.
Next chapter should take a while- I have only just started to write it.
I hope you liked the chapter!
Luv Emma
