Chapter 12
A few days later
Hermione left the house after Izzy was better a few days later. Hermione slept on the couch while she stayed there. When she left she said she'd meet them at their house the next week to leave for the train station together. After leaving the house she decided to go have a talk with Ron. She knew that that night she had leaded him on. She knew he loved her. She just didn't love him like that. He was her best mate just like Harry was her best mate. She apparated to his house. She paced in front of the door for a minute thinking about how she was going to say what she needed to say. She finally knocked on the door.
"Hello" Ron said answering the door. He was hunched over, and then he looked up and realized who it was he stood up. "Hey" he said smiling.
"Ron" Hermione nodded "Can I come in?"
"Sure" he said opening the door further and letting her in. He was scratching the back of his head as he said "Sorry it's a little messy. I'm trying to pack for school. You know I never thought I'd say that again after my seventh year."
"Yeah I know me either." she smiled thinking back to their school days "Ron we need to talk."
Ron hunched his shoulders he assumed what they needed to "talk" about.
"Ok" he said he motioned her to sit in one of the chairs "What about?"
What about? Geez that was a dumb thing for me to say. Of course I know what the bloody hell about.
"Listen, I know what happened. Was, umm well it was special. But, Ron I'm so sorry. I-I just found Izzy again. And I need to focus on that right now…"
Ron nodded. He was trying to keep his cool. He didn't want to act like a big ninny and get emotional over it. He was a bachelor. Sure she needed to take care of her kid. He could accept that excuse. It wasn't a turn down it was just a rain check.
"Ron? That's not all." Hermione realized he was out in space.
"Uh, sorry. Continue please"
"Well, I think that Severus and I are going to try again. You know I was young when we got married. And Ron I-I think I love him."
Ron set his jaw. He was not gonna react to this. He was gonna be just Ron. Ron, Hermione best mate. Or at least he was gonna try. He wasn't going to be Ron in love with Hermione.
"Ron" she continued "I just wanted to come tell you. Because I don't want what happened between us to effect our friendship. So can we still be friends?" She asked him. She looked like if he said no she would brake into tears.
"Yes" the words were out of his mouth faster than he knew it.
Hermione jumped up in the air and hugged him.
If this is the only way I get to be her friend then I'll take it. Hopefully it won't kill me.
The two sat together for awhile talking then they said goodbye.
They had made plans with Harry to meet at the three broomsticks the night before the Hogwarts express left.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
The night before the Hogwart's Express left
It had been a whole week since Harry had learned the prophecy. Harry sat at the bar worrying. This was not the future he had wanted for his child. For anyone's child. But it seemed that seemed to be what was happening to not only his daughter. But, his best friends children as well.
He had to tell them. But he just couldn't.
That's it. Harry said to himself.
"I have to tell them" Harry said out loud.
"Tell us what mate?" Ron asked as they walked up.
"Oh, uh nothing" Harry said. "Shall we order" he opened up his menu.
Wimp. Harry thought to himself.
They ordered. They were sitting there chit-chatting. Talking about the old days when they were in school. Harry mentioned it felt odd to already have a kid of his own going off to school. Hermione agreed with him. Then she made fun of Ron for not having any kids yet. Harry coughed out all the beer that had been in his mouth.
"You okay mate?" Ron asked as he swished his wand to clean the mess up.
"Yeah. Yeah of course" Harry said "Just went down the wrong way that's all."
"You know" Hermione said "I would love for Izzy to meet both of you."
Harry chuckled a bit "Hermione I already have. And she thinks I'm pretty cool." Harry said fixing the collar of his shirt.
Ron laughed "That's only cause she hasn't met me yet. But yeah. When do I get to meet her? I would say tomorrow cause I have to ride on the train. But I want you to be there when I meet her."
"Oh my gosh!" Hermione said "I have to ride the train tomorrow too. You can meet her then. We'll do it during lunch time. Sound good?"
"Yeah" Ron was smiling from ear to ear. However the smile was wiped off his face two seconds later.
"Severus will be there too" Hermione smiled.
Great Ron thought to himself It'll be you me, your kid, and Snape. My dream come true.
Hermione got up and went to go get more drinks from the bar.
Harry sniggered.
"What's so funny?" Ron asked.
"The fact that you have to eat lunch with Snape tomorrow. I'll be thinking about you around lunch time. Laughing." Harry replied still sniggering.
"Ha, Ha" Ron said sarcastically.
"What are you guys talking about?" Hermione asked as she came back with their drinks.
"Oh nothing" Ron said.
Harry was staring at Ron "We were just talking about how excited Ron is about tomorrow."
Ron glared at Harry and Harry grinned back.
"I'm so glad you're going to get to meet Izzy."
"Yeah me too" Ron said.
Right then their food arrived.
They kept talking. Hermione ended up teasing Ron again about not having any kids.
As Ron was explaining that bachelors don't have kids as Harry choked on the fry that was in his mouth.
"Jesus, Harry no more eating" Ron joked as he smacked Harry on the back to help get the food out.
"I guess so" Harry fake chuckled. Only Hermione noticed. Ron was to busy trying to make sure Harry wasn't choking.
Hermione eyed him she noticed that for the rest of the night. Harry kept quiet and kept his distance. She knew him all to well. He only acted like this when he was keeping something secret. She didn't push him about it. She asked him if he was okay. He told her he was fine. Then when Ron left to go to the bathroom. She asked him if there was anything he wanted to tell her or Ron. He again replied no. But, when she had asked he had put on a strained face. But she knew if he wasn't ready to say he wasn't going to say.
They ended the night. With Harry thinking about how much of a coward he was. Ron still longing for Hermione. And Hermione wondering what Harry was hiding from them.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Ronald James Delacour we need to leave. You have to get to the train station." Gabrielle called up the stairs.
She didn't know why she was letting her son go to Hogwarts. He had received the letter but she worried that someone might recognize him. He did after all take after his father. Red hair, tall and gangly, freckles everywhere. He was the miniature of Ron. Gabby had become pregnant after she had slept with Ron. But, she chose to keep it quiet. To this day even Fleur doesn't know who the father was. Every now and then her sister would look at RJ then look at her husband Bill. Gabby knew what she was thinking. It didn't surprise her. Her sister had always been possessive about things like men. But, since she and Bill hadn't been able to have any kids they loved to spoil James.
"I'm coming Mum" James said hauling down his trunk.
Gabby felt a stab it had always killed her that she had stayed in London. Her son hadn't grown up in the same culture as her.
"Let's go" she said shooing him out the door.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Dad!" Izzy yelled down the hall "Mum will be here any second!"
"I know, know I'm coming" Snape chuckled.
He felt strange. Sure Izzy had been at Hogwarts most of her life. But, now she was a student. He couldn't see her in between classes. He couldn't praise her gloriously when she made the perfect potion. But what killed him most was that she wouldn't be living with him anymore. Since she was born Snape could come back to his quarters after a ruff day and see Izzy and that would brighten his day. But, now she would be sleeping in the dormitories.
There was a knock at the door.
"Dad will you get it? I'm still packing my trunk." Izzy called.
"Sure. Hey! Wait a minute you told me you packed it last night." Snape answered back.
"Sorry I can't hear you your too far away"
"Just finish packing!" Snape chuckled "You're such a procrastinator like your mother."
"Wait!" Izzy came running down the hall in jeans and an undershirt.
She was tangled up in her shirt she was putting on. Once she got it settled on her she looked at her dad and said.
"Dad you know that necklace Mum sent me?"
Snape nodded.
"Do you still have it?"
Snape smiled and nodded. He pulled the necklace off the top of his dresser.
"Thank you" she smiled up at her Dad.
"Can you help me put it on?" She asked as she turned around and lifted up her hair.
He smiled now too. He leaned down and put the necklace on her.
"Alright let's go" Izzy said as she ran to the front door.
"Did you finish packing!" Snape called after her.
"Um, no" He chuckled go finish packing.
Izzy sighed fine.
Snape laughed and he walked to the door.
He opened it.
"Hello" he said as he saw Hermione.
He leaned in and kissed her on the forehead.
"Well hello to you too" Hermione said. As she kissed him on the lips.
"Mum" Izzy ran out of her room. "Hey" she said as she gave her a hug.
"Hey, you're trunk packed?" Hermione asked.
"Yep let's go"
They loaded the trunks with Snape into the fireplace and he flooed them all to platform 9 ¾. Then Izzy went then Hermione. Glancing around the room she sighed and flooed.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Angie" Ginny called into the room next to hers. "Get your trunk down to the front door we need to go!"
The Potters had rented two apartments at the Leaky Cauldron. Harry had requested from Mr. Weasley for a Ministry Car to take them to the Platform 9 ¾. Since Mr. Weasley had become Minister of Magic lots of things had changed.
Harry half thought about keeping Angie home from school. He feared what would happen to her. But, he knew if Dumbledore was there she would be safe. As would the other two children. But, where was the third child? Harry knew he needed to find Gabrielle Delacour. But, how he couldn't just go up to Fleur and ask where her sister lives.
"Harry!" Ginny yelled.
Harry jumped out of his thoughts and grabbed the rest of the things they needed and walked out of their room.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Ron loaded up the last of his thing into his old school trunk.
He sighed. He never thought he'd be the one alone.
"I guess I better go" Ron said to his empty apartment.
He had packed most of his stuff and sent it to the school to his quarters already. But he just felt it would be odd to not have a trunk to load onto the train.
Ron locked the door and apparated to Platform 9 ¾.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Everyone arrived at the Platform around the same time. Izzy and Snape went onto the train. Izzy wanted to get the best compartment for her and Angie to sit in. Snape went to see if the third teacher was in the teacher compartment yet. Hermione giggled as he left she had forgotten to tell him that Ron was the third teacher.
"Aunt Hermione what are you doing here?" Angie asked as she came up and hugged her Aunt.
"Well," Hermione looked at Harry "Am I allowed to tell her now Harry?"
"Tell me what?" Angie was excited.
"I'm going to be a teacher at Hogwarts this year." Hermione said.
"So am I" Ron said walking up and swinging Angie into his arms.
"Are you serious?" Angie asked
"Yep" Harry nodded
"Awesome!"
"You think so?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah!" Angie said "Cause I know Uncle Ron will let me get away with anything!"
"I will, will I?" Ron had a look of mock shock on his face.
Angie hugged her Uncle and gave him a kiss.
"I guess I will" Ron chuckled.
Angie slipped out of his arms and ran up to her mum. The final blow to get aboard the train was blowing.
"Bye Mum" Angie hugged and kissed her mum.
"Bye sweetie. I love you. Write me lots okay?"
"Okay I will. I love you too." Angie said. Then she headed over to her dad and hugged him "Bye Dad I love you."
"I love you too" he said as he held her. "Angie listen to me" Harry pulled her off to the side. "Look I need you to promise me you'll be careful. Alright?"
Angie nodded "But, why?"
"I can't explain right now" Harry said "just promise me okay? Be careful who you trust and if you have any problems go see Professor Dumbledore. Do you understand?"
"Yes" Angie looked at her dad.
Harry knew she could tell something was wrong. But, he needed her not to go off and do something stupid like he had.
"Daddy do I need to be scared or whatever it is your worried about?"
"No. no I just want you to be careful" He knew that she could tell her was lying through his teeth.
"Alright" she smiled. "I love you" she hugged him and he hugged her.
Harry held her tight. He didn't want to let her go but, he new he had to. He had planned on popping up at Hogwarts from time to time to check up on her.
Angie let go of him "I guess this is it" she said as she walked towards the train.
"I guess so" Harry said he could feel a single tear roll down his cheek. He wiped it away before anyone could see it.
After Angie was on the train something distracted Harry. He and Ginny had said their goodbyes to Ron and Hermione the two of them were on the train. When all of the sudden Harry saw what he thought looked like Ron except he was 17 years younger. Then behind him trailed a woman he had seen in a memory just days before.
"RJ! Come here" Gabby called to her son.
"Mum I'll miss the train of we don't hurry up." Threw his trunk onto the train.
"RJ I know. But as your mother I would like to be able to hug and kiss you good bye."
Gabby leaned in and kissed him on the cheek then hugged him. "I love you."
"I love you too Mum" RJ said as he stepped up onto the train "Bye!"
"Write to me all the time!" she called as the train pulled away.
Harry stood there staring at her. He waved goodbye to Angie. Nut then he started staring at Gabby again. Gabby turned around and realized who was staring at her. She gasped then with a pop she apparated.
"Damn it" Harry said. He figured he shouldn't have stared at her. He needed to talk to Dumbledore on how to approach the other parents involve in the situation.
"Come on Ginny" Harry put his arm around his wife's shoulder.
"I-I j-j-just miss her that's all. And our friends too." Ginny sobbed.
"I know" Harry said as they left Platform 9 ¾.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Angie got onto the train. She and Izzy had made plans to sit together. Angie knew Izzy would get there first because her family had knack for being late. She started searching for her. Luckily the first compartment she opened there was Izzy.
"Hey!" Izzy jumped up and hugged her friend.
"Can you believe it? We're getting to go to school. Maybe we'll get to be in the same house!" Angie said as she sat down.
At this Izzy frowned.
"What's wrong?" Angie asked her friend.
"What house were your parents in?" Izzy asked
"Gryffindor."
"You know my mom right?" Izzy asked.
"Yeah" Angie felt awkward cause. It felt weird to have known her best friends mom longer than her best friend had.
"What house was she in?"
"Gryffindor too."
Izzy sighed.
"Why?" Angie asked.
"Well because my Dad is Head of Slytherin house."
"Oh" Angie said.
"So I want to be in the same house as you. But, I don't want to hurt my dad's feelings if I don't get to be in house."
"Man, that's gotta be hard."
Izzy nodded.
Then all of the sudden Izzy looked like she was going to be sick.
Angie hadn't been facing the door of their compartment. So she turned around in time to see a boy. A cute boy in her opinion.
"Well, hello Izzy" said the drawling voice of Draco Lucius Malfoy.
"Hello Draco" Izzy rolled her eyes.
"How have you been? I haven't seen you in the past few weeks."
"I've been good. Listen we-"
"You know in proper society it would be polite for you to introduce me to your gorgeous friend." Draco sat down next Angie and held his hand out. "Hello I'm Draco Lucius Malfoy. Perhaps you've heard of my family."
Angie shook his hand and was laughing. "Actually yes I have heard of your family"
"Really" Draco was looking smug about it.
"Yeah my dad you used to beat the shit out of your Dad."
Draco frowned "Who are you?" he asked a little snobby like.
"I'm Angelique Marie Potter. Angie for short though."
Draco sat up on disgust "A Potter! My father warned me about you."
"My Dad warned me about you too" Angie was laughing. As was Izzy.
"I must be going" Draco said with his nose in the air "Izzy I hope to see you in our house this evening."
With that Draco left.
The girls sat there in a fit of giggles.
"Ugh," Izzy said "I can't stand him. Dad makes me go over with him when he goes to see Mr. Malfoy. Actually I don't really like either of them. Draco has always been a snob."
Angie laughed.
All of the sudden they heard a crash outside their door.
Both ran to the compartment door. To see a boy with red hair on the ground. And Draco brushing past him. Scoffing at the fact that he had to step over him. Izzy and Angie looked at each other rolled their eyes and went out and helped him up.
"Uh…thanks." The boy said standing up "I was trying to find a place to sit down."
"Here come sit with us" Izzy said. She thought this boy whoever he was, was cute.
"Thanks"
The three of them walked into the compartment. Angie lounged on to one of the seats, and Izzy and the boy sat down next to each other. There was and awkward pause for a moment where Izzy and the boy kind of stared at each other, then the boy jumped.
"Oh, uh my name is RJ, Ronald James Delacour." He said still staring at Izzy.
"Hi, I'm Izzy" Izzy said she didn't notice RJ staring at her cause she was staring at him.
They sat there for a moment till Angie broke the silence.
"I'm Angie" she held out a hand. She was trying to figure out if they were having a staring contest or what was going on.
"Oh," RJ jumped again
Then taking Angie hand he said "Hey"
"Did you say your last name's Delacour?" Angie asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"That's my Aunt maiden name. Maybe you know her"
"I doubt it. But, maybe. What's her name?" RJ asked
"Fleur Delacour Weasley"
"Aunt Fleur?"
"Well yeah that's what I call her" Angie said. Geez what a dumb question. I just said she's my Aunt.
"Well, yeah I know that but my Aunts name is Fleur. Is your Aunt married to Bill Weasley?"
"Yeah, that's my mom's brother. I love Uncle Bill and Aunt Fleur too."
"Wow that's weird. That we've never met before. Pretty cool that we did though. Huh?"
"I guess so" Angie said.
Izzy yawned.
"Are you tired?" Angie asked.
"Yeah" Izzy said "I had to get up extra early to pack. I forgot to do it last night."
Izzy reclined back on her side of the booth "I'm gonna take a nap"
RJ yawned as well "Yeah my Mum woke me up extra early so she could say goodbye to me a thousand times. I think I'm gonna take a nap too."
"Okay you two. Just leave me here awake by myself. I guess I'll just read or something." Izzy sighed.
She looked into her book bag and realized she didn't have any books in it. This was crazy because Angie always had a book with her to read! Izzy sighed and stood up maybe Aunt Hermione would have a book. So. Angie opened her compartment door to go and look for her Aunt.
Angie was walking when she ran into her cousin Georgie.
"Oh, hey Georgie sorry I didn't mean to run into you."
"Oh, it's okay." Georgie was George's son. Georgie was in his third year at Hogwarts. Georgie and his dad lived above Weasley Wizarding Wees main store. Georgie's mom had died when he was a baby. So it was just him and his dad.
"Have you seen my Aunt Hermione?" Angie asked
"Um… yeah she's in that compartment down on the end. My suggestion to you is to stay in there for at least the next…" Georgie looked at his watch "About 8 minutes. Yeah 8 minutes. That should give enough time for the stench to clear away."
"What are you up too?" Angie asked.
Georgie was very big on the whole pranking people thing. One time he put fizzing wizzbee's in a pie Grandma had made for the whole family. He put so many in it. The family was glad they had been inside eating. Man oh man Angie remembered how much trouble Georgie got in for that. Her Grandmother usually never yelled at them but WOW. Angie couldn't understand everything Grandma had said but what she did hear was "WHY?" "JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER!" "YOU ARE SO LUCKY I CAN'T REACH YOU RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I'M STUCK IN THE AIR!" Those were the few things she could hear. She smiled the good days.
Georgie grinned "Oh nothing to much. Just doing some advertising for Uncle Fred and Dad. That's all."
Angie rolled her eyes "I don't even want to know. I'll just stay in there for 9 minutes."
Angie started walking away.
"Angie I only said 8 minutes though." Georgie called after her.
"I know but, just incase."
Georgie ran up to her "Hey if you're gonna be in there could you try and make sure Uncle Ron, Aunt Hermione, and Snape stay in there please."
"I'll see what I can do. No promises though"
Georgie kissed her on the head "Thanks little cuz. Love you."
"That's what you keep telling me" Angie said.
Georgie laughed and walked away.
Angie shook her head at him then knocked on the door.
"Come in" called a familiar voice.
Angie opened the door.
"Oh hey!" Hermione said as Angie came in.
"Hi" Angie said to the three adults.
"Hey Ang" Ron said.
"Hello" Snape said.
The three of them had had a bad start. Ron and Snape of course tried to get along for Hermione's sake but the two ended up fighting anyway. So Ron was sitting on one booth and Snape and Hermione were on the other booth. Snape had made sure that Ron and Hermione were not sitting together. Even if he and Hermione were not publicly showing whatever they had going on. He didn't want Weasley to get any ideas.
"What can we help you with?" Hermione asked.
"Well Izzy's sleeping and I don't have any books with me. I was wondering if you had any I could borrow for the train ride?"
"Of course you can." Hermione pulled out her book bag filled with books. "Pick one"
"Oh geez. It still kills me that you're a bookworm like Mione." Ron said shaking his head.
"Spreading your disease Hermione?" Snape asked.
"No, not entirely. Thank god she couldn't get Angie to read Hogwarts a History. Or read the all of her class books." Ron said.
Angie stuck her tongue out "I only like reading fun books"
"I like Hogwarts a History" Snape said.
"Figures" Ron scoffed.
"What'd you say Weasley?"
Angie picked out her book and was getting ready to leave. She had a feeling she didn't want to be present for whatever was going to happen.
"I didn't stutter" Ron said
"Why you little-"
BAM
There was smoke coming under the door.
"Georgie!" Angie yelled and she opened the door.
"Georgie?" Ron said then realizing that Georgie and smoke meant that his nephew had been doing some advertising for Fred and George. Ron ran out behind Angie to see his nephew one the floor looking like he had just exploded a mini bomb. Ron started laughing.
"Ron!" Hermione squealed "It isn't funny!"
"Yes it is" Ron was still laughing.
Angie was helping Georgie up.
"Georgie" Hermione said in a sympathetic tone "what happened?"
Ron was still laughing "You really need to ask? Think who his father is Hermione."
Snape walked out from the compartment.
Georgie looked like he was going to die.
"Weasley" Snape said in his you-know-you're-in-T-R-O-U-B-L-E tone.
"Yes sir" both Weasley's standing there said.
Ron did it on instinct because he had done it for so many years. Georgie did it out of fear.
"I meant him" Snape said looking at Ron.
Ron glared back at him.
Hermione stood in front of the two "You two go back in there and sit down. I'll deal with this"
"But-but" Snape whined. He hadn't been able to give any Gryffindors detention in two months. This was his passion she was messing with.
"Go" she pointed at the door "Angie you can go back to your compartment"
"Is Georgie going to be okay?"
"Yes, yes he will be fine"
Angie got up and left to go.
"Aunt Hermione, it was just an accident. You see dad must've packed some stuff in my back pack" Georgie tried to chuckle a little "you know dad a real practical joker. So basically I was just an almost innocent bystander. So there's no need to punish me. Right?"
Hermione grinned "Clever you come up with that one yourself or did you and your dad work on that line together."
"I thought of it myself" Georgie answered "You're not gonna punish me are ya?"
"We'll see I still remember floating at The Burrow for four hours. So we'll see what I decide."
Georgie looked like at that minute he would rather have Snape back to give him his punishment.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Angie went back to her compartment to find Izzy and RJ sleeping. What she didn't notice was them holding hands. Or the fact that Izzy's head was on top of RJ's shoulder. Angie snuggled up on the booth she was sitting on and started reading her book. She didn't realize how much time had passed till. Professor Snape knocked on then opened the door.
"Hi" Angie said
"Hello" Snape said then all of the sudden his face was not smiling anymore. He had turned to see his daughter sitting with a boy. But, not only was she sitting with him she was holding his hand and resting her head on his shoulder.
"Izzy?" Snape said a little too loud.
Izzy jumped when she heard her father "Daddy hi!"
Snape glared at RJ some what dumbstruck "Boy?"
RJ sat up. RJ realized why he was glaring and him and yanked his hand away from Izzy's and held it out to shake Snape's hand.
"Hello sir I'm RJ"
Snape looked like he was going to kill RJ.
"So, dad what are you doing here?" Izzy asked stepping between the two of them. She had seen her dad's face when boys looked at her. Or even talked to her.
"Your mother would like for you to come have lunch with us. She wants you to meet a friend of hers." Snape said still glaring at RJ.
"Oh yeah I remember her saying something about that. Okay" Izzy stood up and looked at her two friends "I'll see you guys later."
And she left with her dad.
"Izzy who was that boy?" Snape asked
"Oh that's just RJ he didn't have anywhere to sit so he came and sat with us." Izzy waved it off.
"A likely story" Snape mumbled to himself.
The two walked into the compartment where Hermione had laid out some lunch.
"Hi, Izzy" Hermione said as Izzy walked in.
"Hey, mum" Izzy said back.
"Izzy this is very old friend of mine. Izzy I'd like you to meet Ron. He's going to be your History Professor. "
"Hi, Izzy it's nice to meet you" Ron said "I think you know my niece Angie?"
"Yeah she's my best friend" Izzy said she liked this guy Ron so far.
They all sat down to have some lunch. Hermione had conjured up some cheeseburgers and fries her and Izzy's favorite food.
The talk flowed smoothly. Everyone got along. Izzy enjoyed hearing about her mum, Ron, and Harry. But she wondered why dad wasn't in any of his stories surely Ron had known her dad. After they had finished eating Ron excused himself to go check on his nephew Georgie. Hermione went too because she didn't wan Ron using magic to help Georgie out with his punishment.
Snape put his arm around his daughter and sighed "So how do you like being a student so far?"
"It's great" Izzy said "I've mostly just been sleeping but, I enjoyed it so."
Snape nodded he could tell something was wrong but he wasn't sure what.
"Izzy is something wrong?"
"Oh it's nothing. I-I just I'm nervous about the sorting."
"What's there to be nervous about you just sit down and put the hat on? You've seen it done a million times" he teased her.
"No that" she giggled "it's just that… you're head of Slytherin and Mum's a Gryffindor. And I'm worried I'm gonna hurt your feelings or hurt her feelings if I don't go into your house or hers." Izzy sighed.
"Ahh, I see" Snape said he was glad this was all that was wrong "Izzy your Mum and I will love you no matter what house you get sorted into. Alright?"
"Alright" she smiled
"Now if you get into Hufflepuff then I'll have to tear the sorting hat to pieces"
Izzy laughed.
"Now go hang out with your friends." Snape chuckled "But. No touching boys. Got me?"
"Daddy"
"I mean it!" Snape called after her as she left.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
The rest of the train ride was un-eventful. But, the end of the train ride Izzy, RJ, and Angie we're best friends. When they thought it was about time to get off the train they put on their robes. The train pulled into the station and they all got out.
"Firs' years come with me!" Hagrid yelled with his booming voice.
"Uncle Hagrid!" Angie yelled hugging Hagrid.
"Aye Angie yer ready for yer trip across the lake?"
"Yep here I want you to meet my friends this is RJ and this is-"
"Izzy, aye I know I've known Izzy since before she could walk."
"Cool" Angie said as she, RJ, and Izzy got into the boat.
They had an uneventful boat ride across the river. Angie had hoped someone would fall in. Her dad had said that once someone had fallen in. Angie guessed she hadn't been as lucky.
The three walked up the main entrance and into the hall. Where a women in green robes and in bun came out. She introduced herself as Professor McGonagall and explained what was going to happen. After that they walked into the great hall. There sitting on a stool was the sorting hat.
Professor McGonagall started calling out names.
"Angelina Abbot" after a while she got to RJ. "Ronald Delacour!"
Angie and Izzy wished him luck.
Ron and Hermione had been sitting at the head table. When they both looked up at the name Delacour. Ron looked down and saw the boy. He knew Bill and Fleur had no children. But, how long had they been married? Then Ron got a closer look at the boy. The boy was a spitting image of Ron. Ron started remembering Bill and Fleur's wedding reception. But, that was impossible. Ron looked at the boy as he sat down on the stool there was one more thing. If it was true then the hat would call it.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
RJ sat down on the stool and put the hat on.
