I asked for about 13 reviews and I got 20! Yess! Thank you all very very much! And I'm going to answer some of your comments, ok?
Jarno: Well, I know that it is unusual that Hermione has books in Tacey's room when she's only four and a half, but they're children books. I have a younger sister who "collects" books, and some she had since she was three. They are mainly just books full of moving pictures, and it's the wizarding world, so that happens. About the whole Hermione-teaching-Tacey-French part...I figured that "This is Hermione Granger and Harry Potter's kid, so she's got to be a bit more unusualseeing how Hermione is a very intelligent person. Tacey does not know French fluently, just a couple of words. Thanks for the concern, though! I hope you'll like this story!
TimeWizardKedavra, KendallPaigeCharity, and Fenderbender505: I know you guys want Harry and Hermione have more kids...just wait and see what's going to happen!
Talon05: Do you really think I'm losing it? Please tell me what I can do to improve the story..that will be great! Thanks for telling me that, too!
Leo: I know what you're thinking-I agree that the story seems to be revolving around Chelsea. But yes, she is one of the main characters, and in the previous chapters it may seem that I'm writing tons about Chelsea, but now I'm switching my gear to focus more on Harry, Hermione, and their family. Ron, Chelsea, and their boys will appear every now and then, and I most likely will write at least one chapter about them, since I have some other reviewers who likes the Ron-Chelsea part. Thanks for the concern, though! Hope you'll still review and like the story!
As for the rest of you-Guys I'm sorry about not giving a lot of details on Andrew and Anthony's birth, Chelsea and Ron's wedding, and Andrew and Anthony's third birthday. I really suck at writing those things, and that's why I usually fast forward the timing because I have no idea about what to write when Tacey's five or seven or things like that. I like to get to the major events that happens in the household. I hope you guys will still review and like the story. Thank you!
That day that Harry and Tacey had longed for has finally came. It's the day after Tacey's fifth birthday-and being fans of Quidditch, the father and daughter remembered Hermione's rules very well. It's Saturday morning, and the sky is bright for a fall weather. The breeze of the wind is blowing softly.
Harry woke up that morning and looked at the time. It's already 8:30 a.m. He turned to his side to see the woman that he has been with for seven years now-and she still looks the same-as beautiful as she was when he had met her that day on the Hogwarts Express-about fourteen years ago. He smiled to himself and looked at the little girl who was lying between him and his wife. Little Tacey had insisted that she will spend the night in her parents' bedroom, so they can get up bright and early to start Quidditch. She was still lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully. Her light brown hair had matched her mother's, but it was wavy, like her grandmother's. It can be easily messed up, like her father's. She's a spitting image of her mother, alright, but when she opened her eyes, everyone will know that she has the Potter emerald eyes. Harry turned back to watching his wife, who was still sleeping.
Hermione might have realized what day it was too, and it was the day when she had to let her little baby get on a broomstick. She stirred a little in her sleep, but felt Harry's gaze upon her and opened her cinnamon eyes. She turned to her side to face the green eyes of her very handsome husband.
"Morning, lovely," said Harry with a smile. He kissed her softly and broke off until Tacey moved slightly. They chuckled and it seemed that Tacey heard, for she rubbed her eyes and opened them slowly. She remembered what day it was too, so she said in her half sleeping-voice,"Quidditch Day!" Hermione and Harry chuckled once more, and that told Tacey that her parents are already awake. She sat up quickly and turned to her parents.
"Good thing you're already awake! Come on, Daddy, can we go NOW?" she asked.
Hermione smiled,"Come here, you," she said. Tacey kissed her parents good morning and then sat up again.
"Daddy, come on! You promised! We still have to go get a broomstick for me, and we need the whole day for Quidditch! Come on, Dad!" she urged. Harry smiled and pulled his baby into his arms.
"Listen, give me and mum say...one hour, okay?" he said.
"So you can kiss? Eww! Gross, Dad!" she exclaimed. Harry ane Hermione turned red.
"Darling, why don't you go get ready, huh? We're going to get ready and then we'll go, okay?" said Hermione, still red.
"Okay, but no funny business!" she said as she got out of her parents' bed, and skipped out of the bedroom to her own room. Harry turned to Hermione with a puzzled smile.
"Where is she getting that stuff from?" he asked.
"See, that's why I told you never let Sirius baby-sit again," Hermione replied.
"Yeah, well, come on. We've got a big day ahead," said Harry. He kissed his wife some more, and scrambled out of bed. He went to the bathroom for a shower, while Hermione is still on the bed. Tacey went into the room again, holding up two outfits and two robes. She saw her mother still on the bed, and then she said,"Mummy! How can you still be on the bed! Come on, Mummy!" she urged.
"I'm up, I'm up," Hermione said as she got out of her bed. She picked up her daughter off the floor.
"Come on, let's get you ready, ok?" she said to her daughter.
"Yes!" she said.
One hour later, Tacey and Harry were waiting downstairs for Hermione to finish up. Hermione came down in a hurry 15 minutes later to find an annoyed Tacey and Harry.
"Sorry, darlings. Now, come on, let's go," she said. Harry picked Tacey up and the three apparated to Diagon Alley.
Diagon Alley were as usual, very occupied. Children were running around, with mothers hurrying behind them. The ringing of shops were heard as people walked in and out of them. Tacey was walking hand in hand with her mum and dad. On their way to the Quidditch shop, they stopped by the Weasley Wizarding Wheezes. They went in to the store, and found the red-headed Weasley twins, Fred and George.
"Harry! Hermione! Good to see you!" they said, hugging each in turns. They finally looked down to the little girl in between them. Fred kneeled down and said to her,"You can't be little Tacey Potter, can you? Last time I saw her she was just a wee little girl!"
"I'm a big girl now!" she said to Fred, in a matter-of-fact voice she had inherited from Hermione. She jumped up to hug him, and Fred stood up again with Tacey in his arms and said to George," Yep, definitely a Hermione inside that girl." Harry, Hermione, and the twins laughed.
"So, any new things coming in, George?" she asked. George smiled widely and said,"As a matter of fact, Miss Potter, yes. Here we have a soap candy, that will make bubbles come out of your mouth after you eat them," explained George as they followed him to the Soap Candy section," and here we have some flying candies, that will make you fly as you eat them."
Tacey's eyes widened as she looked at the candies. Seeing this, Fred piped, "Will you be taking any, Miss Potter?"
Tacey nodded, and seeing this, Hermione was outraged.
"No, no, no, no, no, NO. You will not be taking any!" she said fiercely, as she shot a glare towards Fred and George. Tacey pouted, and seeing this, Harry went on," Come on,
'Mione, it's nothing harmful, right boys?" he said as he looked at the twins.
"It's totally safe, 'Mione. Trust us," said George.
"Oh that puts me in so much ease," said Hermione sarcastically.
"Please, Mummy?" asked Tacey, with her puppy eyes set on. Hermione couldn't resist thos eyes, whether they're coming from Harry or Tacey-since they both have identical eyes.
"Alright, fine." she said at last, and Harry, Tacey, and the Weasley twins beamed.
"Great!" said George, who started putting candies in the bag," Here you go, Ms. Potter, on the house!"
"Oh, here, George, come on, how much?" asked Harry.
"No, It's good, Harry, it's on the house," said Fred reassuringly.
"Alright. Thanks, boys. Tacey, what do you say?" said Harry.
"Thank you very much, guys!" she said as she hugs them both.
"Well, we better get going then," said Hermione,"Say hi to the rest for us, will you?"
"Of course. Great to see you guys again!" said George.
"You too!" chorused Harry, Hermione, and Tacey. They exchange hugs and leaves.
They walked again, and when they were just one shop away from the Quidditch store, a very familiar voice was heard.
"Well, well, well, Potter, Mudblood! Finally together, eh?"
Harry and Hermione turned around and face Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. It seems that they were still together. Harry grew furious and held Tacey's hand tightly. Hermione grew furious too, after she heard him call her 'Mudblood'. Tacey was watching all of this in confusion.
"Ferret," Harry said angrily.
"Like I said, finally got together, eh? And..." he looked down to Tacey and sees her green eyes and brown hair,"reproduced! Thought you'd look for better ones first before you chose him, Mudblood!"
Pansy let out a shrill of laughter that seemed to annoy Malfoy.
"Sod off, Pansy," he said to her fiercely.
"Sorry, dear," she said.
"Take a look again, Malfoy, maybe it's you who needs to look again," said Harry as he nods
to Pansy.
"Shut up, Potter! You're the one marrying a Mudblood, right Drakey?" said Pansy
"At least she doesn't call me by lame nicknames like yours," shot Harry.
"Daddy..." called Tacey.
"Daddy, eh? Let me tell you, something, little girl," looks down to Tacey," If you decide that that man you call 'Daddy' is an unfit parent, there are better ones out there."
"What the f...aaaahh..." said Harry, but he stopped, remembering that Tacey is present.
"Unable to curse, Potter?"
"How dare you talk to my daughter like that! Locomotor Mortis!" yelled Harry, pointing his wand to Malfoy and made him fly in the air. Tacey laughed and clapped her hand, and many people gasped and securities started hushing down the crowd and tried to get Malfoy down. Hermione tried to stop Harry.
"Harry! No! He's not worth it! Tacey's here!" she said loudly. Harry stopped, picked Tacey up, took Hermione's hand, and headed to the Quidditch shop.
"That was so cool, Dad!" said Tacey excitedly.
"Thank you, love," replied Harry. He smiles to his daughter and let her walk in and browse the store.
"That was good Harry, but he's not worth it and will never be," said Hermione as they walked around the store, hand in hand.
"You're not angry, are you?" asked Harry in a worried voice.
" No...I agree with Tacey. Just never do that again, promise?" said Hermione again.
"Promise," said Harry. Hermione gave him a small peck on the cheek.
"Come on, let's go find her," said Hermione, reffering to Tacey.
They found Tacey starring at a glass cupboard that shelters a broomstick. At the edge of the stick, it says Speed 09. She starred at the brromstick in awe, as if it was a pile of gold. Seeing this, Harry and Hermione chuckles. Tacey was one-quater the size of the cupboard. Harry, smiling widely, walked up to sweep his daughter. She paid no attention to him, as she was too occupied with the broomstick.
"Can I have that, Daddy?" she whispered.
"That, love, is Speed 09. The fastest broomstick they're producing this year," explained Harry.
"Faster than your Firebolt?" asked Tacey in awe.
"I'm afraid so," Harry sighed.
"Can I have it? Please?" she pleaded.
""Fraid not. Might be too fast for a beginner like you," replied Harry.
"But I'll be trained by a pro!" protested Tacey.
"Your mum will kill me. Sorry." said Harry.
"Come on, can't you talk to her?" she asked again. Hermione came into the view then.
"No, he can't. Sorry, darling. It's too big and fast for you. Maybe in a couple of years, alright?" said Hermione.
"Fine," said Tacey in an annoyed voice. Harry let her down again and they walked hand in hand to the children section. They browsed for the perfect broomstick from aisle to aisle. Then, they bumped into one of the store's staff.
"May I help you, sir?" the salesman said to Harry.
"Yes. We're looking for a broomstick that will suit her," he nods to Tacey.
"Ah, first broomstick, eh? How old are you?" the salesman said to Tacey. She held up her finger and spoke in her matter-of-fact tone, " My name's Tacey Charleigh Potter and I'm five years old."
The salesman chuckles and said to Harry and Hermione, " Ah, bright little girl you have there, sir, ma'am!"
"Thank you," said Hermione.
"Well, see here, we've got," the salesman took a broomstick out of the glass case," Tike 09, it just came out. It's specially designed to fit children under the age of 10. It guarantees safety and comfort, also. If you will take this, we will also include this little snitch," the man held up a small snitch," that will fit perfectly on Tacey's hand."
Harry took the broomstick in his hand and examined it. Then he turns to his daughter and said, " You like this?" and Tacey nodded excitedly.
"I think this one will suit her perfectly. You did say it's safe, right?" asked Hermione.
"Yes, ma'am, it guarantees your daughter's safety," spoke the salesman.
"Alright. Good. We'll take it, right, 'Mione?" Harry said.
"Yes, we'll take it," apperoved Hermione.
"Yes! Thank you Mummy! Thank you Daddy! Thank you Mister!" exclaimed Tacey, and she hugged her father, mother, and the sales person. The sales person beamed at Harry and Hermione.
"Right. If you'll follow me, please, I'll take you to the register," said the man. Harry, Hermione, and Tacey followed the man and paid for the broomstick. They said 'Thank you' to the man and apparated home.
"Ok, Dad! I'll race you to the backyard!" said Tacey, running towards the backyard with her broomstick in hand. Harry began to run too, but just then, he heard Chelsea's voice calling him and Hermione from the fireplace.
