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

Ginny usually said good night to James and Serena and then Cassie. Now she would also have to say good night to Orion. It had been years since she had done it, and it felt nice. Orion and Cassie were in the same room, and just as she was leaving, Cassie begged her to mimic some voices, to show Orion, since he had never heard her many voices before.

She started out mimicking Harry, since she was the best at his voice. "Don't mind me. Sorry, love. Do you need anything? I'm here to save the day!" Cassie giggled a little, but Orion just stared at his mother. Next was Pop-pop's voice. "And this is a plug. Muggles use this for eckeltrickity." Orion, who still did not really know his grandfather, only smiled slightly. It might have been funnier if he had remembered life as a Muggle, but he was too young when he had been introduced into the wizarding world. Aunt Andromeda's voice was next and Orion had heard her voice enough to know how good of job his mother really was at the voices. The funniest when she started doing his father's voice. "How is precious Potter these days? He's already saved the world, he's won the award for Wizarding World Golden Boy since before he could talk………." Just then, the door flew open, and Cassie shrieked, not expecting anyone.

"Father?" Orion asked, barely able to contain his laughter.

"Oh Draco, I'm sorry," Ginny muttered, not really sorry.

"I had no idea you could mimic everyone so well. Continue with your Golden Boy speech, and I'll let you know what needs improvement," Draco said, amused that she was able to mimic him so well. Ginny had been sitting on Cassie's bed and Orion patted a spot next to him on his bed for Draco to sit down.

Ginny turned to face her daughter. "Since you're the only one who's heard me before, who should I do next?" Cassie leaned over and whispered in his mother's ear.

"You think so?" Ginny asked and Cassie nodded. She smiled and grinned devilishly as she pictured Draco's face.

"Twenty points from Gryffindor Mr. Potter. And a detention for saving the world again! My Slytherins have no place to go if you save the world!" she mimicked perfectly in Snape's voice. Orion was laughing hysterically, he had to clutch his stomach because it hurt so much from laughing. Cassie was laughing just as hard as Orion and even Draco managed to smile.

"He's one I don't think you'll ever forget. 'Dear me, what's the use of being a disgrace to the name of wizard if they don't even pay you well for it?' How was that?" Ginny asked, smirking at that moment. Draco had turned as white as sheet then and sputtered first, though Cassie got a word out first.

"Whose voice was that?" she asked. It was one she had never heard from her mother.

"It's a voice I'll never forget for as long as I live. I bet I got it almost perfect, didn't I, dear?" Ginny smirked, staring Draco.

"Yes," he said meekly.

"Well, whose voice is it? I recognized the other voices, but not this one," Orion said.

"That's because you never met the man. That was my father, your grandfather's voice. Lucius Malfoy. If I remember correctly, it was the first time your mother and I ever spoke."

"Yes it was. 'Potter, you've got yourself a girlfriend!' was the first thing you ever said to me," Ginny said, mimicking in Draco's voice what he had said.

Draco winced. "Don't remind me. I'm not proud of what I was during Hogwarts."

"You're proud of what you did afterwards?" Ginny asked, raising one eyebrow suspiciously.

"I have two beautiful children because of what happened after Hogwarts."

"Two? I only see one," Cassie said as she stuck her tongue out at her brother.

"It's not nice to tease your brother. I think it's time I left. I've certainly entertained you enough. Sleep well." Ginny walked out of the room only after she had given both Cassie and Orion a hug good-night. Draco had never had this kind of experience and just followed Ginny out of the room without saying a word. At home, his mother would put Orion to bed. When he thought about it, he realized how little contact he had with his own son. Cassie must have had a much better life with the Golden Boy raising her and spoiling her as though she was his own.

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

The next morning was Christmas Eve, the day before the feast. Everyone was given jobs, even the children, whose job was just to clean the bedrooms. Cassie and Orion were instructed to supervise Lyra, Ares, James, and Serena, who seemed to have a never-ending supply of energy. Draco and Ginny spent most of the morning discussing when would be the appropriate time to introduce Cassie and Orion, until Harry came in and told them to just announce it after everyone arrived, before the meal. His mother was still trying to recall the proper way to do it and her parents insisted that they do whatever they felt like, just it'd be easier after the presents were opened but before the meal. Andromeda, Nymphadora, Molly, and Harry were busy preparing the food ahead of time. Narcissa, Ted, and Arthur were decorating the house in a traditional wizard theme, following the demands of Narcissa primarily. Every once in a while, Draco and Ginny would help with the decorations, but they mostly tried to find out what happened to each other in the last ten years.

Ginny went into more detail about Cassie's accomplishments, while Draco bragged about Orion's ability to learn languages faster than most people could teach him. Ginny's ears perked up when she heard this. She had not yet told Draco about Cassie's ability to control emotional magic, which Cassie and Harry reluctantly relieved one night. Knowing that her daughter had a special ability, she had always wondered whether Orion would or not. When she asked which languages Orion spoke fluently, Draco began to tick off his fingers.

"First was English, which he spoke with you and I. His nanny spoke French to him, which he picked up rather quickly at the age of four. I believe he was fluent in French by the age of six. My mother, when she gets angry, yells out in Latin, which Orion had learned by the age of eight. He grew bored with Spanish and Italian, which he learned simultaneously until he was nine," Draco started, but Ginny interrupted him.

"By the age of ten, our son could speak English, French, Latin, Italian, and Spanish?"

"Don't look so surprised. Italian, French, and Spanish are related to each other and Latin. It was the year before Hogwarts that he grew really ambitious, trying to learn German, Hebrew, and Yiddish. I believe it took him two years to do, when he only wanted to do it in one. So right now he's in the middle of studying Japanese on his own."

"Can he read, write, and speak all of those languages fluently?" Ginny asked.

"Like a native speaker," Draco answered.

"I shouldn't be surprised," she said simply. "I always had a feeling that there would be something special about him."

"What do you mean?" he questioned.

"Well, you heard my own ability to mimic other people's voices. Cassie has her own special ability," she added, leaving out the part about Harry's wandless magic.

"What can our precious daughter do?"

"She has the ability to control her emotional magic. She is actually quite advanced, because Harry found out and encouraged her to practice all the time. Of course, that means practicing on her brother and sister, as well as her cousins," she said, with annoyance in her tone.

"I hope she decides to practice on anyone who rejects her tomorrow," Draco added in anticipation of tomorrow's big reveal.

"No one will reject her. They'll be madder at me than anyone else. You saw how my parents took it, everyone but Ron will be like that. I take that back. Fred and George will make a joke, Bill will be like Mum or Dad, and Ron will have a fit until Hermione calms him down. I suppose Orion's godfather, a one Mr. Blaise Zabini will take it just as well as everyone else?" Ginny said.

"Blaise will pretend he knew all along, just to look smarter than Harry," Draco replied.

"Why is it always a competition with Harry?"

"Because he's the Golden Boy. It's just what happens," he said with a smirk.

"If you say so," Ginny said, shaking her head.

"And I do," said Draco.

Ginny and Draco bickered like they used to, right after they had gotten married, until Harry interrupted them to tell them it was time for dinner. They slowly walked into the dining room where everyone had already helped themselves and talking loudly so that they could be heard. James, who had tried to be the loudest, screamed for his mother. Andromeda, who had learned the talent of whistling while watching Orion and Cassie, whistled to get the attention of everyone in the room. James quietly asked Harry, instead of his mother, if they could start a new tradition. Ginny and Harry glanced at each other, before agreeing. Cassie, who was paying attention, suggested that they each open one gift.

Andromeda thought that it was a marvelous idea, knowing that the children would all be getting lots of gifts the next morning. Harry added a few stipulations. He said that they could only open one gift each, it had to be under the tree right now, and that they could open it only after everyone was finished eating.

The children all started begging their parents to eat faster, to which the parents responded by eating slower. Draco, Molly, Arthur, Andromeda, and Ted all laughed at the happiness and Christmas cheer that could be felt in the air. Narcissa merely sat there, amazed that 12 Grimmauld Place contained laughter and happiness at all.

Orion begged Cassie to open his gift while she begged him to open her gift to him. Cassie received a beautiful handmade red and gold blanket that had Snitches, Bludgers, and goal posts in the red stripes and broomsticks, Quaffles, and goal posts in the gold stripes. Orion received several translating dictionaries and a new winter cloak. When Orion asked about the dictionaries, Cassie said that Aunt Andromeda had suggested it. Tearing off the paper faster than anyone, James screamed with the delight when he saw the train set he wanted. Harry whispered that he had charmed it just for James. Serena squealed when she opened her gift which was a beautiful doll, with a nice wardrobe to match. Lyra was happy with her complete set of the Wizard of Oz books by L. Frank Baum, a childhood favorite of hers. Ares loved his new beginner's potions set. With children all happy, the parents sent them off for bed.

Tomorrow would be a long day for Draco and Ginny, who would be answering questions about their lives over and over again.
