I'd like to thank a few reviewers; you know who you are, a few friends from school, and one of my teachers who has been there for me since 9th grade! THANX GUYS! This is not really going to be a funny chapter, but more of a touching chap! Enjoy!

"Chapter 7: Letters n' Love"

As James was about to go get breakfast he noticed a black spec outside the kitchen window. As he got closer to see what it was it started to get bigger until finally he noticed it being a small brown barn owl! Could it be, thought James. As the little barn owl got closer to the window James started to get Very excited, all of his friends except for Alexis had got their letters, now it was James's turn. James suddenly opened the window and watched the brown owl land on the kitchen counter. He was so excited that when he went to take the letter from the owl the poor little owl started to wobble. James finally got the letter off and handed the owl some owl food and a saucer of water then watched the owl take flight. It is! thought James as he looked at the letter and noticed emerald writing and the Hogwarts crest on the back.

So excited James yelled up the stairs to tell his mom, "Mum, I finally got my letter!"

"Well open it!" replied Ginny.

James paused and sat down at the kitchen table with trembling hands. After a minute or so he opened it.

James closed the letter and smiled to himself, he would finally be able to go to Hogwarts, finally be able to find out which house he would be sorted into, finally be able to try out for the Quiddich team all finally be able to go to school where his father and Grandfathers went too! James was so happy that he started to hum.

"So what did it say?" asked Ginny as she slid into one of the kitchen table chairs.

"Basically that we need to go to Diagon Alley." Replied James as he started to eat his eggs, beacon, and toast. "It also said that we can bring an owl, cat, dog, rat, or toad."

"That's new, we were never allowed to bring dogs in my day."

"So can I bring Bane or Hedwig?" James asked excitedly. He always planned of one day bringing Bane to School with him.

"You can bring Bane, but Hedwig is getting too old, even Bane is getting really old."

James picked up a piece of toast and stuck it in his mouth and swallowed. "well, can I get a new owl, maybe a snowy one like Hedwig?"

Ginny raised an eyebrow and sighed, "Well see."

At that moment Bane came through the doggy door installed in the kitchen door. He strolled over to James and put his head down on James's lap, his tongue hanged out as he panted.

"Hear that boy, your going to Hogwarts with me!"

Bane looked at James quizzically and licked James's hand than walked over to Ginny and laid down at her feet.

Ginny looked at James, "I guess that means he's excited."

"Or bored," said James. He put his fork in the sink and said "Scourgeify." The grime on the plate and fork vanished as if it had never bee there.

"You know you're not allowed to use magic unless you're in school," said Ginny skeptically.

"The ministry can't tell if it's you or me doing the magic any way," said James simply as he put Ginny's wand on the counter, he wore a big smile.

"And I told you not to use my wand," said Ginny sternly.

"All the more reason to go to Diagon Alley."

"All right Mr. Smarty Pants, Why don't you go and clean your room."

Fine, but where's dad at? I didn't see him leave this morning,"

"He took Lillian to Saint Mungo's for a Check-up,"

I hate check-ups, thought James as he ran upstairs to go clean his room. The last time he had a check-up the healer insisted on taking his temperature erectly and James never got over that. It felt as though someone was violating his personal space.

Ginny watched as her young son ran off to complete yet another task. He was growing up so fast, too fast, thought Ginny. Soon he would be off on his own and she would be left only with Lillian to help grow up. She couldn't stand the idea of not being able to coddle and hold her little boy; It is a happy yet terrible feeling for a mother to let her child go. After long she would have to let go of Lillian too. All she could do now was watch them grow strong and help them along the way to adulthood. She would savor every bit of it while she could. She didn't worry too much, she still would have Harry to grow old with. Harry, she thought. Harry had been there for her in her second year of school when all she knew was darkness, He had been the first boy she ever loved. Together, Harry and her had made two of the most beautiful children in the world. All three of them would and always will be her three little angels. Ginny hoped that when James got to school that he wouldn't be like the famous twins and marauders, but she knew that the Potter and Weasley line was full of mischief.

When James finished his chores he looked out the window to find his dad walking up the front porch with Lillian asleep on his shoulders. "Mum, dad's home with Lillian!" he yelled down the hall.

"O.k., tell him I'm upstairs if he needs me and to put Lillian down for a nap."

"Got it!" he yelled back.

.Harry walked in to have Bane jump up on him and wake Lillian up. She started to wail and struggle to get out of daddy's arms. Bane started bouncing on his hind legs, his tongue hanging out and tail wagging madly.

"Get off Bane! Bad dog! Jameesss!"

James came downstairs to find his dog being jumped all over by Bane.

"What?" he asked already knowing what his dad wanted done.

"Put Bane outside and where's your mother at?" Knowing Ginny she was either cleaning like her mum or daydreaming while staring out the window.

"She's upstairs, oh, and she wants you to put Lillian down for a nap," James put Bane outside.

"Why don't you go put her down for her nap while I go talk to your mum," Harry handed a screaming Lillian to James.

James made it halfway up the stairs when he remembered to tell his dad, "Hey dad, I got my letter!"

"That's great!" replied a happy Harry.

Sure enough as Harry walked in Ginny was day dreaming. Her red gold hair beautify blew in the wind as the gentle breeze swept across her milky skin. He stood there and took a moment to take in her beauty. She and the kids were all he lived for, if anything were to happen to them he would not be able to go on. Harry sneaked up on her and weaved his arms around her and kissed her neck. Ginny always loved it when he sneaked up on her, it made her feel loved and important.

"How are you doing?" Asked Harry

Ginny smiled warmly, "Fine right now."

"Harry brought his kisses to her cheek, "I missed you."

"You were only gone for two hours," laughed Ginny.

"Yeah, but being away two hours is like being away two lifetimes."

"You and your corny pick-up lines," chucked Ginny

"Well, they worked on you didn't they?"

Ginny had to admit that he did have a way with words even if they were corny, "I guess they did." Ginny turned around and pulled him into a warm embrace. Harry replied by stoking her hair and bringing his kisses to her lips. Ginny pulled the tunic of Harry's robes and they both fell onto the king sized bed. Harry quickly got out his wand and waved it at the door, the door locked itself.

Notes: Well, that was it! I hoped you liked it; I tried to make it some what longer and more descriptive. I really liked this chapter; it kind of made me think how to express the ties of a family bond and the love between a husband and wife. Much love to all my reviewers, family, friends, and teachers who are reading! Se onr sverdar sitja hvass! (To find out what that means read Eragon or Eldest and look in the ancient language glossary)
