A Muggle
Disclaimer: See the first chapter. Same with warnings. And summary. Basically, if you haven't read the first chapter, you're lost. The only new thing is that I don't own Mugglenet (don't worry, that will make sense soon)and I do own my new OCs.
Once again, completely unbeta-ed.
One week later, Lizzy was sitting in the same spot, her feet tapping the ground in either impatience, nervousness, or both.
The last week had been amazing. Lizzy had met her two favorite book characters (a somewhat strange sentence, but very true) exactly a week ago, but it had turned her world upside-down. She could now reread Harry and Ginny's first kiss (and all of the other kisses between Harry and Ginny or Ron and Hermione) without screaming loudly, and she could reread the epilogue of book seven without gagging. Perhaps the most amazing thing was that she could visit Mugglenet without wanting to kill someone.
It was now 3:00:42 pm. Harry, Hermione, and their children should have been there forty-two seconds ago. Lizzy, desperately trying to keep herself occupied, started thinking about what all of this meant.
First of all, it meant there really was a magical world. Up until her twelfth birthday, she had hoped and hoped for a letter from Hogwarts, but it never came. When she turned twelve, she had kind of…grown up. She had lost her absolute sureness that magic existed. Now, at twelve and a half, she was getting it back.
Stirring herself from her thoughts, she looked up. About twenty meters away stood five people: Harry, Hermione, and their three children. The oldest was a girl, about Lizzy's age. The middle child was another girl, about…nine, maybe? Eight or nine. Probably nine. Lizzy had an eye for ages, and she had to say nine. The youngest was a boy, probably four or five years old. Lizzy, after staring at him intensely for a few seconds, decided on five.
By the time she was done figuring out their ages, the group had almost reached her. Lizzy waved her arm in the air frantically, and Hermione smiled and waved back. Lizzy stood up when they reached her, and gave Hermione a small hug. Then, she backed up so she could see everybody clearly. From this close, she could easily tell the children's ages. Twelve, nine, and five. Yep. She was right.
"Lizzy, this is Hayden, our oldest. Hayden, Lizzy," Hermione introduced. Then, the younger girl (Yep, definitely 9 years old, thought Lizzy) stepped forward.
"And this is Sophia, but you can call her Sophie," Harry said, taking over for Hermione in the introduction. Finally, the little boy, smiling wide, ran forward.
"I'm Michael!" he yelled, running straight into Lizzy and wrapping his small arms around her waist.
Lizzy smiled. "So you didn't name them after your parents. Or Dumbledore. Or Snape. Good!" she said, grinning at the little boy who released her from his grip.
"Well…just their middle names…It's Hayden Lily, Sophia Jane, and Michael James. But not their first names, no," Harry clarified.
Lizzy turned to Hayden. "I like your name," she said.
Hayden smiled. "I like your name, too."
Lizzy grinned, and then turned to Hermione.
"So, what happened to the others?" she asked. "Ron, Luna, Draco..everybody else?"
"Well, Ron and Luna are married and have a daughter about Sophie's age. Ginny and Neville are married and have two sons, and Draco's still single," Hermione told her.
"Really? Can I meet any of them? Next week, maybe?" Lizzy asked eagerly.
"Not next week, since everybody's going to be at our house for Sophie's birthday. She's turning nine," Harry answered.
Shoot. I was wrong? Sophie isn't nine yet. Well, I was close. Only a week off…
Hermione turned to Harry. "No, Draco isn't coming, remember?" She turned to Lizzy. "Maybe you could meet Draco next week."
"Really?!"
"Yes! It'll just be you and him though, since everybody else is going to be at Soph's party," Hermione said.
"Alright! I can't wait!" Lizzy leapt in the air to prove her point, and Hayden giggled.
"Same time, same place, different person," Hermione said.
Harry looked at Hermione, then looked at Lizzy. "Well, Michael, Soph, and Haydie were going to play for a while. Care to join them?"
"YES!" Lizzy screamed, and ran after the three children, who were already starting their game.
Since only one person had an opinion on whether it should be D/G or N/G, it was N/G. I ship R/LL, so of course it was R/LL.
I got the names off of a British baby names website. The middle names should be obvious (Harry's parents/Harry's middle name, and Hermione's middle name, even though it's Jean in book seven, which is just stupid).
So, now do you get the Mugglenet part of the disclaimer?
STAY TUNED for the next chapter, in which Lizzy meets…dun dun dun…DRACO MALFOY! MWAHAHAHAHA!
I honestly have no idea where this story is going. But it's fun to write. Feel free to give suggestions in a review! And please, review! I live for them.
