Reviews:
RaI'DeE PoYnT3r - Thanks for reading and reviewing. Yeah I love Ellie too. Especially when she's being nice and when she's sarcastic. I love writing her character.
gigglefritzy - Thanks for reading and reviewing. Glad you liked it and all of the first years aren't all main characters. It just follows Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione and their children mainly but there needed to be a place for an explanation of who's related to the twins because some of characters do pop up every now and again.
charmedslayers - Thanks for reading and reviewing. Glad you liked it and here's the update!
Anyways now onto our feature presentation. Here's Chapter 27. Enjoy!
Chapter 27 - Back to The Burrow
McGonagall came into the common room and led the two girls away.
As she left, Peyton looked at Dan who was looking at her and had tears stinging his eyes.
The two girls followed McGonagall to their mother's office and sat down inside.
"Mum, where're we going?" Peyton asked.
"Nana's house. Dad will see you there" Ginny replied.
The twins got some floo powder, threw it into the fire and shouted "THE BURROW!"
Once they had both arrived at The Burrow, Mrs Weasley had them in crushing hugs before looking at them and scolding them.
"Fighting you two. I can't believe it. We've never had anything like this from Ellie or any of your cousins."
"OH YEAH I FORGOT WE'RE NOT PERFECT LIKE THE OTHERS SO WHY EVEN BOTHER TRYING. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS FAMILY!" Maddy shouted then stormed out of the kitchen.
Mrs Weasley looked at Peyton who burst into tears.
"Oh Nana, it's horrible. Maddy split me and my boyfriend up as well as beating me black and blue."
"Oh sweetheart, we'll sort it out after you've spoken to your father. While you're waiting why don't you write him a letter."
Peyton nodded then sat down at the table and started to write Dan a letter.
Harry apparated into the kitchen just as Peyton had finished her letter to Dan.
It said:
Dan,
I'm so so so sorry that you had to read that parchment.
It is honestly nothing to do with me - it's not even my handwriting.
Me and Ellie looked at it and it's niether mine nor Cady's but the handwriting is Maddy's.
Please tell me if she gave it to you.
I really want us to get back together and I know that I've said it before but there is NOTHING going on between me and Nathan.
You are the only boy in my heart at this time.
Please write back.
Love
Peyton XXX
Harry lectured both girls on what they did and after Peyton and Maddy left the kitchen he read the letter and became outraged.
His daughter, his baby girl could not and would not have a boyfriend.
"Harry leave it. She's thirteen nearly fourteen, she's going to be interested in boys. For goodness sakes Ellie was twelve when she had her first boyfriend and I had that crush on you when I was eleven. Leave her be" Ginny said.
"Yes but she's my baby girl and I swear everything will bounce back twice as hard. I would prefer it if none of them had boyfriends."
"She's also growing up."
Harry and Ginny were sat at Number twelve Grimmauld Place talking about Peyton and that letter.
"I only hope that these two weeks away from the castle will help her realise that she's not ready for boys yet."
"Harry, you can't say that. Dan is a lovely boy, he's in one of my classes, one of the top students in his year, in Gryffindor" Ginny explained and then added hopefully "he's also seeker on the Gryffindor Quidditch team."
"Mmm" Harry said still not convinced.
"You'll meet him at the open day in three weeks as well as Ellie's new boyfriend."
Harry decided to quickly change the subject as he could only deal with one boyfriend let alone two at the same time.
"Ginny, I've been thinking" Harry said as he fingered something in his pocket.
"Hmm" Ginny replied.
"Would you marry me?"
Harry pulled a small square box out of his pocket and opened it up showing the white gold ring with a single diamond set into it.
Ginny looked from Harry to the ring and asked "seriously?"
"Yeah, we've been together for fifteen years and we both liked each other for a long time before that and now we're having our third child together."
"Ok, yes."
"What?"
"Yes Harry, I will marry you."
Ginny told everyone that needed to know (who were thrilled of course, except Maddy) and set to work with the planning of her wedding.
The next two weeks passed slowly for the twins because all they had to do was their schoolwork, write letters and snipe at each other.
Peyton and Dan had made up and to get Maddy back Peyton had been playing practical jokes on her at every available opportunity.
The evening before they went back to Hogwarts, Peyton was sat at the kitchen table doing her schoolwork when the Weasley's new owl (Errol died) Gypsy flew in through the window with a scroll of parchment ties to her leg and settled herself in front of Peyton.
Peyton looked up and saw the owl sitting in front of her, she took the scroll from the tawny owl and started to read it.
Dearest Peyton,
I loved your last letter especially the part where you nearly bewitched Maddy's hair colour to illuminous pink - oh how we all know that she hates that colour, it's a shame that your Nana caught you though.
I take it that you're still at your Nana's house then.
Ellie explained about how Maddy broke us up and I will NEVER trust her again.
Nothings going on here - Quidditch practise, Ellie snogging Nick, Cady's still upset but Ellie and Harmony have taken her under their wings till you get back.
Anyways have to go to Potions - oh the joys of an hour and a half with Snape.
Love you Peyt,
Dan XXXX
She was about to reply to the letter when Maddy walked over to the table and snatched the letter out of her hands.
"Maddy, give it back."
Maddy read the letter then said in a baby voice "awwwwww does Seeker Dan love ickle bubba Peyton. Awwwww - love you Peyt, Dan. How sickening."
"Maddy quit teasing. Give it back. It's not yours" Peyton pleaded with tears in her eyes.
"Nope. Love you Peyt, Dan" she said again.
"Madison, give it back to her NOW!"
"Nana, she let me read it" Maddy said innocently.
"Um if I remember right - you walked over to the table and snatched the letter off of Peyton and wouldn't give it back to her" the twins' cousin Aimee said whilst coming into the kitchen.
"No. No one was there. You can't have seen what happened" Maddy said smirking.
"My Uncles are Gred and Forge - I learnt from the best pranksters Hogwarts ever had" Aimee replied.
"Hem hem - best pranksters?" Harry said after appearing in the kitchen with a pop.
"Sorry Uncle Harry. After the Marauders of course" Aimee replied whilst giving her Uncle a hug.
"Daddy" Peyton said whilst hugging Harry.
"Hey Princess, Angel."
"Harry, I don't do prissy nicknames and I'm STILL not talking to you" Maddy told him.
"Okay no prissy nicknames. How about we go and fly?" He said smiling.
Maddy thought for a second then smiled.
"Yeah. Okay then."
"Are you coming Princess?" Harry asked.
"I might come out later after I've written to Dan."
Harry looked at his daughter then at Mrs Weasley who smiled.
Maddy looked at her Dad angrily and he marched her outside before she could start any more arguments.
Aimee sat down at the table with Peyton and looked at her smiling.
"So my favourite cousin. What did he write this time?"
Peyton handed her the letter and laughed when Aimee smiled and looked up at Peyton.
"Peyton Potter. I didn't know you had it in you. Illuminous pink hair on Maddy. Our dear Uncles Fred and George would love that."
"Well are you forgetting who my Grandad was - the legendary James Potter and my Mum is the baby sister of Fred and George. Being a prankster is in my genes."
"Yeah whatever. Come on let's go and play some Quidditch seeing as that's in your genes as well" Aimee said while standing up.
Peyton smiled and got her broomstick then walked outside with Aimee.
Peyton mounted her broomstick and took off into the air.
She had often done this at school.
She loved to feel the wind in her face and the wind blowing through her auburn hair.
Harry looked at her in disbelief and thought that over all these years that she couldn't fly and hated Quidditch.
He noticed that she flew like a pro - much like he was.
He had always thought that she didn't have the talent.
But what he didn't realise was that he was wrong - VERY wrong.
Peyton, I've let the Snitch out but I can't find it. Maybe you can?" Harry shouted to her.
Peyton turned round and looked at her Dad.
Her Dad, Harry Potter coudn't find the Snitch but he was the youngest house player in a century unless...
Peyton realised what he was doing and flew down until she reached the ground, had dismounted her broom, thrown it aside and walked into the house.
Harry watched Peyton walk into the house and decided to follow her.
He followed her into the house and up to the bedroom.
He knocked on the door and walked into the bedroom.
Harry smiled as he walked in and remembered the many memories that he had from being in this room - especially one very good memory.
Flashback
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny sat in various places around Ginny's room so that they made a circle.
It was the summer before Harry, Ron and Hermione returned to Hogwarts for their last year.
"So, Ron? Truth or Dare?" Ginny asked.
"Uh truth."
"Do you fancy anyone?"
"Uh yeah."
"Who?" Ginny asked grinning.
"Hey, no fair that's two questions" Ron protested.
"Okay, okay. Your turn Ron" Ginny replied.
Ron thought about who to ask. He had so many questions he wanted to ask but the problem was they all led to one person in the room.
"Harry, truth or dare?"
"Truth" Harry replied.
"Do you fancy anyone?" Ron asked.
"Yeah but I'm not saying who."
Ron slumped back into his seat looking rather disgruntled that he hadn't gotten anything about this subject out of his best friend.
Harry looked round the room whilst vowing to get his best friend back and thinking that now was definately the perfect time to do it.
"Ron, truth or dare?" Harry asked smiling.
"Dare."
"I dare you to snog Hermione" Harry said whilst grinning to himself.
Ron and Hermione looked at each other and turned bright red then proceeded to snog each other, they clearly both enjoyed it very much.
Ron looked at Harry and grinned.
"Crap" Harry said under his breath, he should have known that Ron would get him back.
"Truth or dare Potter?"
"Dare" Harry said coolly.
"I dare you to snog my dear little sister."
Harry turned round and was feeling very nervous.
He developed a bad case of butterflies as he saw those beautiful brown eyes looking at him as their heads got nearer each other.
As their lips touched they got into the swing of things and started to kiss each other.
Hermione looked at each other and smiled.
After ten minutes had passed Ron and Hermione did a perfect impression of Umbridge and Ginny and Harry sprang apart from each other and turned very red.
After that had happened they had all decided to never play truth or dare again.
Harry smiled to himself as he remembered that kiss.
Harry snapped out of his trance and looked at his teenage daughter laying on the bed in front of him.
He sat down on the bed and realised that Peyton was crying.
"Peyt."
"Goway" Peyton mumbled into the pillow.
"Peyton, what was all that about?"
Peyton sat up on the bed and looked at her Dad.
"Was it something to do with me asking you to try and catch the Snitch?" Harry asked.
She nodded and he looked at his fourteen year old daughter and took in every aspect of her appearance.
He looked at her thin face, green eyes, her auburn shoulder length hair that framed her face perfectly and her petite body - much like he used to be at that age but not as skinny as him.
Peyton looked at her Dad and smiled weakly.
"What?" she laughed.
"Just thinking of how much like your mother you are and how much of a perfect Seeker you would be - what with your build and height."
"And how do you know what I'm like at Quidditch?"
"Call it Seeker's intuition."
"I like Quidditch and flying but I don't think Maddy would be too pleased if I got Seeker and Dan wouldn't be too happy if I tried to take his position on the Quidditch team. That's why I shied away from Quidditch coz Maddy was always saying that it was her game and no one elses."
"Peyt, are you scared of your sister?"
"A little."
"Peyt, you have to stand up to her, don't let her push you around and I knew that one of you would have to have the Potter Seeker genes and it's very clear that Maddy is more of a Chaser than a Seeker. When did you start flying? - you wouldn't go near a broom when I was teaching Maddy to fly."
"In our first year when I realised I couldn't get away from it anymore. I go onto the pitch sometimes when I need to clear my head and fly and sometimes I take a Snitch with me to use."
Harry felt very proud of his daughter because until now he hadn't realised how mature she was.
He smiled at her and kissed her forehead before getting up and walking towards the door.
"Dad?"
Harry stopped and turned around.
"Yeah?"
"Anyone can be a father but it takes someone special to be a Daddy and that's what you are. You're my Daddy, don't forget that."
Peyton walked over to her Dad and gave him a cuddle.
"Dad? When you're ready, will you tell me about Grandad - well what you know?"
Harry looked at Peyton and realised that he would have to tell them what he knew on day.
And that time had come - it was time for his girls to know about their grandparents.
"Of course Princess."
Peyton smiled and laughed.
"Come on, let's go and play some Quidditch. Maddy will have to live with me playing won't she?" she said as they walked down the stairs.
You see that little button down there. Well it's lifelong wish is to be pushed. You know you want to make the button happy. So grant it it's wish and push it to leave a review! DUN DUN DUUUUUN! Will Harry tell the girls about their grandparents? Does Peyton stick up for herself? And will she fly and not worry about what Maddy thinks? Find out in Chapter 28!
