Interesting Birthdays

"Did anyone tell you that you are really old?" Ginny whispered to her sleeping husband. Harry blinked, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Well, not until recently." Harry replied.

"You are eighteen!" Ginny squealed.

"I know." Harry said as he watched his wife jump up and down on the bed.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Ginny yelled.

"Thank you love." Harry said. Ginny walked out of the room, then returned five minutes later with a small package.

"What's that?" Harry asked her.

"Your birthday present of course." Ginny said as if she was talking to a two year old.

"You didn't have to get me anything. You are carrying my children." Harry reasoned.

"I know I didn't, but I wanted to." Ginny said to him as she sat down next to him on the bed. The package was light, and it was wrapped in red paper, with a gold ribbon. He pulled off the ribbon, to reveal a box that had written in cursive: James Potter. Harry opened the box, and out flew a snitch.

"What is this?" Harry asked confused.

"You know how you were given the first snitch you caught on your graduation?" Ginny asked him.

"Yeah." Harry said to her.

"Well, your father let the school keep it, to display. Dumbledore let me have it though." Ginny told him. Harry got tears in his eyes as he hugged her tightly.

"Thank you so much Gin." He said softly.

"Don't worry about it love, I thought that it was something that you would want." Ginny said as she kissed his cheek softly.

"What are we going to do today?" Harry asked.

"Well, Mum, Dad, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Ron, and Hermione are coming over for a party." Ginny said happily.

"This should be interesting." Harry mumbled.

"What was that?" Ginny asked as she pulled on an emerald green summer dress. It had halter straps, and fluffed out at the bottom, it came to her knees. She grabbed her wand, and charmed her hair into tight ringlets that fell down her back.

"That is a nice dress Gin." Harry commented.

"Thank you, I thought that you would like it." She said as she smiled up at him.

"Well, lets go and make sure Fred and George don't blow anything up." Harry said happily as he walked out of the room.


"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY!" Fred and George shouted.

"Thanks guys." Harry said as he shook their hands.

"Well, since it is your birthday-"

"We felt that it was our duty-"

"To present you with this-"

"Gift." The twins finished together. Harry took the package cautiously. It was kind of heavy, but he slowly started to unwrap it. Inside was a full collection from WWW.

"Wow, thanks guys!" Harry said happily.

"No problem mate." They said together.

"HARRY!" Hermione shouted to him. She ran to him, and gave him a bone-crushing hug that could rival Molly's.

"Hey Mione." He said to her.

"Ronald and I got you this present." Hermione said as she handed him a package. Harry opened it up, inside was an album labeled: Memories. It had pictures of his parents, Sirius, Remus, Harry, Ginny, Hermione and the whole Weasley clan. It also had the wedding pictures.

"Thank you so much guys." Harry said as he hugged both Ron and Hermione.

"Well, since you never met your parents, we thought you would like some memories of them." Ron told him.

"I can't wait to look through all of these pictures." Harry said as he paged through the book.

"Why don't we go say hi to mum and dad?" Ginny asked as she dragged Harry over to Molly and Arthur Weasley.

"Happy birthday Harry dear." Molly said as she hugged him tightly.

"Thanks Molly." Harry said as he pulled back from the hug. He took a step over to Arthur, and shook his hand.

"Happy Birthday Harry." Arthur said to him.

"Well we have a present for you Harry dear!" Molly said happily.

"You didn't have to get me anything." Harry told her.

"Of course we did Harry, you are family." Arthur said as he handed Harry a package. Harry took the package and unwrapped it. Inside was a clock much like the one Molly had in her house. It had Harry at the top, then Ginny below him. It also had two hands without pictures on them. It must have been for the babies.

"Thank you so much!" Harry said as he hugged them both. Harry saw Ginny walk over to Hermione, Ginny was chatting happily with her soon to be sister-in-law. He watched her for a moment. Ginny threw her head back and laughed at something Hermione had said. She then laid a protective hand on her stomach. He walked over to her and hugged her from behind. She jumped at first, and then she relaxed.

"What is so funny over here?" Harry asked the pair.

"Well apparently Hermione used up all the hot water, and she forgot to tell Ron. So he got into the shower, and the water was freezing. He ran down the hallway in nothing but a towel yelling that he was freezing!" Ginny said happily Harry snorted at the mental picture that his wife had created.

"I can see that happening." Harry told them.

"It was one of the funniest things I had ever seen." Hermione told them.

"So have you figured out the date for the wedding yet?" Ginny asked as Harry continued to hug her.

"Yeah, it will be December the eleventh." Hermione told them happily.

"I am so exited for that! I will even be able to see my feet by then!" Ginny said happily.

"Well, you don't have much longer now do you Gin?" Ron asked as he came up behind Hermione and hugger her tightly.

"Nope. I am so exited for when these two come out." Ginny said as she looked at her stomach fondly.

"Ginny, what is it like to have a life, or two lives in your case, growing inside of you?" Hermione asked. Ginny pondered it for a moment.

"It is one of the most amazing things. I have not even met my children, but I love them to pieces already." Ginny replied.

"That must be an amazing feeling." Hermione said to her.

"It really is." Ginny said.

"Well I have one more question. What are you going to do after they are born?" She asked her lightly.

"I think that I will stay home with them. It will be a lot of work taking care of twins. And I don't really need a job. My only job will be to take care of my family. And I will do that happily." Ginny responded.

"I could never do that. I think that I will become an unspeakable. I think that would be fascinating." Hermione said to the group.

"That sounds like the job for you Hermione." Harry told her.

"Well tomorrow is Ginny's baby shower!" Hermione said happily.

"I am getting out of the house for that." Harry mumbled.


"Lets open up the presents!" Katie Bell yelled. It was the day of the baby shower, and only a few girls came to it. Ginny had invited: Hermione, Katie Bell, (George's fiancé) Angelina Johnson, (Fred's fiancé) Fleur, and Molly.

"I can't believe you would want to marry my brothers!" Ginny exclaimed as they walked over to the present pile.

"Well, someone has to keep them in line!" Angelina said to her.

"True. Now lets open presents!" Ginny squealed.

"Ok, open this one, it is from Fred and I." Angelina said as she handed Ginny a present to her. Inside the box sat five outfits; they changed to accommodate the wearer's personality. There also was a blue shirt that had WWW on it. "That one is from both Fred and George." Angelina told her.

"Thanks Angelina!" Ginny told her. She gave her a hug, while Angelina smiled at her.

"Open this one next!" Hermione said. Inside was a mini Quiditch set.

"Don't worry, they are charmed to stay away from any living thing. They just float around the ceiling. They babied can even try and catch the snitch. It help the baby with reflexes." Hermione told her.

"Thanks!" Ginny said happily.

"That was from Ron, this is from me!" Hermione said as she pulled out another box. Inside were stuffed animals, and other toys that the babies would like.

"Oh thank you so much!" Ginny gushed.

"No problem." Hermione replied.

"Now you can open mine!" Katie said. She handed her a box and inside the box was an album. "I though that you could fill it with baby pictures." Katie said to her.

"Thanks!" Ginny said as she looked at it intently.

"Now my turn!" Fleur said to the girls. She pulled out two boxes, one was large and the other was small. Ginny opened the big box first, inside was more baby clothes, and little shoes for the babies. In the smaller box, sat a necklace.

"It is a mother's necklace. Your birthstone is in the middle, the garnet. And the children's surround it. You see theirs are the sapphires. You add more birth stones as you have more children." Fleur told her.

"Thank you so much Fleur!" Ginny said as she kissed her sister-in-laws cheek.

"Any time." She told her.

"And your father and I got you some furniture to put into the room." Molly said to her daughter.

"Thanks mum." Ginny said to her.

"It's no problem dear." Molly said to her.

"I can't believe that you are going to be a mother." Hermione exclaimed to Ginny.

"I know, it is a little weird, but I am very exited." Ginny told her.

"They will be here soon." Fleur said to them. They all nodded their heads at the comment. It really wouldn't be too long until the Potter twins came into the world.
