A/N: Another chapter is here…!! Anyway, I hope you guys read and review. Criticism is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Lily tugged Harry's robes. "Daddy, why are they all looking at you? And how did they know that our last name is Potter?" she asked. These were the times Harry wished that Ginny was beside him so she could do the explanations.

"That's because it's a very common name. It may have been a wild guess," said a familiar voice. Harry and the kids turned to see Ron smiling at them. "Good day to you, Potters. Why do you four look as if you're so much in a hurry?" he asked.

Albus pointed to Harry. "Dad is in a hurry for some reason. We've been running around all day," he said.

Harry raised his eyebrow. Ron just smiled and ruffled Albus's hair. "You look so much like your father," he said, changing the topic. "I best be going now. I need to buy Hermione that cauldron or she'll be hanging my neck on the Whomping Willow if I don't get back in time," he said and hurriedly went off before he could cause more trouble for Harry.

Harry led the children to Ollivanders. Ollivander looked glad to see Harry. "Harry Potter," he greeted. Harry nodded and introduced James to him. Ollivander smiled. "I expected great things from this line of Potters and I believe I would expect the same thing from you, James Potter. You would soon be like your grandfather and father," he said as he searched a wand for James.

"Great things?" repeated Lily. She again tugged on her father's robes. "What great things have you done, Daddy? He said you and Grandpa James did great things. What is he talking about, Daddy?" she asked. Harry was getting quite annoyed.

James looked at his father. "Yeah Dad, what are they?" he asked. Harry and James's eyes met. Harry knew that James wanted answers.

"Here you are," Ollivander said as he took a wand from a box. "Ten inches, willow, dragon's heartstrings. Now James, give it a flick," he said. James took the wand and studied it for a moment. He gave it a flick and yellow light came out from the tip of the wand. "Perfect," Ollivander added. "And it was the first try too."

Harry placed his hand on James's shoulder. "Well done," he said. "Now let's go buy your books and then we'll meet up with your Mum for lunch." James didn't move. Harry turned and stared at him. "Come on now, James," he insisted.

"Mr. Ollivander," said James suddenly. Ollivander looked at him. "I wanted to ask you just one question, but it could probably take two or three answers," he said. Ollivander seemed interested and leaned on the counter. "What was my dad like when he was here for the first time like me?" he asked.

Lily and Albus's ears seem to listen intently too. Ollivander looked at Harry who seemed exasperated. "Well, I remember your father pretty well. He was just this tall," said Ollivander as he held up his hand. "He was so innocent looking and so polite. He was few with words and kept looking around. He was very curious, I guess." Ollivander smiled. "I don't know what I he was thinking about then, but I believe he was just as excited as you," he said. "That's about all I could say about Harry."

Harry took Lily's hand. "Thank you," he said. "Now come on, the three of you. You don't want to see your mother furious for being late, I tell you that." He took one last look at Ollivander before leaving the shop.

"Oh Harry!" Harry raised his eyebrow. Cho looked at him for two seconds without saying a word. "Oh Harry, I'm sorry. I was just surprised to see you again, after all these years." She turned her attention to Lily. "This must be your daughter. She's wonderful. She's got Ginny's eyes," she said. Harry could sense a hint of sadness as she said Ginny's name.

Harry nodded. "Oh yes, she's got Ginny's eyes all right. Her name's Lily." Lily shyly waved at Cho. Harry turned and motioned to Albus and James to come forward. "These are my two boys. The eldest is James, then there's Albus. James is going to start his first year at Hogwarts this September," Harry explained.

Cho smiled. "Is he?" She looked at James. "I bet you're going to have a lot of fun, James. I bet your mother and father has taught you a lot about the ups and downs of Hogwarts, knowing Harry and Ginny," she said.

Harry bit his lower lip. James eyes his father. Albus and Lily stayed quiet. There was tension for a moment there before Harry managed to reply. "Well, we must be in a hurry. Ginny's meeting us for lunch," he said.

Cho nodded. "I understand. In any case, I hope to see you again, Harry Potter." She gave Harry a little wave before walking off.

"Harry, there you are." James turned and saw his mother. She was rather hasty. "Come on now, let's have lunch." She took Albus's hand. "Let's go, now," she said curtly. The five Potters walked out of Diagon Alley and to the nearest Muggle restaurant.

James held up the menu. "I'd like the steak with the cream of mushroom soup to go along with it," he said to the waiter. He leaned back on his chair and looked at Harry. "Dad, what was that lady talking about? The ups and downs of Hogwarts?" he asked.

"What lady?" interrupted Ginny. She placed the menu down and looked at Harry. "Harry, what lady was James talking about?" she asked again.

"Cho," Harry replied shortly. "Could we get the orders done so we could eat now? I'm a little hungry myself," he said, changing the subject. "Lily, stop playing with the silverware, please," he said as he pulled the fork away from Lily's grasp.

Ginny tilted her head. "Cho was in Diagon Alley?" she asked. Harry nodded, though he didn't really like to talk about it. "I thought she wasn't here anymore. Last I heard she flew to France and settled there," she said.

"Well, you must've heard the wrong news then," said Harry. "Order one Lobster meal for the rest except for the steak," he said to the waiter, wanting to get the orders over with. When the waiter left, Harry looked at Ginny. "We just ran into her, Ginny, nothing happened. She just happened to mention Hogwarts, that's all."

"With the ups and downs," added Albus. Harry flashed a look at him. Albus fell into silence. The meal came a lot quicker than they expected and the five Potters began eating their meal in silence.

James set down his spoon and fork and looked at his parents. "I'm going off to Hogwarts soon," he started, "and I'm going to find out anyway. Why don't you just tell me what's really happening?" he asked irritably.

Harry sighed. "Let's talk about this tonight, son," he said. James looked as if he was about to argue, but the look on his father's face seemed quite serious. He decided not to. "Lily, finish your lobster," he said, eyeing Lily's half-eaten lobster.

"But I hate lobsters!" protested Lily.

"If you hated lobsters then you would've ordered for yourself before I did," said Harry. Lily frowned and forced herself to eat. He knew he shouldn't have gotten mad at Lily, but for some reason, he didn't want lunch to end soon.

A/N: thanks for the continuous reviews! Hope to see you at the next chapter! (6 more to go.)
