Chapter 4

Hermione was relieved when Percy left, leaving her and her family alone. McGonagall warned her that Percy might still tell the Potters about Remus and Amelia and Hermione told her that she would tell her the moment that happened.

"Good and take care," McGonagall said and finally left.

The next day was Remus and Amelia's sixth birthday, which meant that they could, at last, attend school with other young witches and wizards. Hermione really would have wanted Harry to be with her but he had a life and she had hers. When she arrived to enroll her children the Headmistress told her that Remus and Amelia weren't allowed to attend by orders of Percy Weasley.

"What, does that apply to all of them," Hermione said.

"Yes," the Headmistress answered which made Hermione even angrier.

"Fine, whatever," Hermione muttered and left.

Hermione was now in a foul mood with Percy when she returned home, with her children. Winky helped them to bed to take a nap and Hermione Appearated to Hogwarts to talk with Headmistress McGonagall.

"So you're not allowed to enroll them in any of the schools," McGonagall said.

"That's what I was told," Hermione told her. "And I'm not happy about it."

"I don't blame you," McGonagall said. "I'll have a talk with Percy and force him to change his mind."

"Thanks," Hermione said, relieved that someone was on her side.

McGonagall went to see Percy the next morning. She had a hard time sleeping the night before because of what Hermione had said. How dare Percy deny Hermione's children the right to attend magical primary school just because Remus had accidently robbed James of this inheritance! It wasn't his fault and Percy was making a big deal over it. If push came to shove she would have to tell Harry and she wasn't sure how Harry would take already having two children by someone that wasn't his wife.

When she walked into his office Percy was busy doing a report that McGonagall was sure she wasn't going to find interesting. Percy looked up when she walked in and put his quill down.

"What do you want, Professor?" Percy asked.

"I'm here to ask what in the name of the Gods did you think you were doing by preventing Remus and Amelia from attending a magical primary-."

"I was thinking about Harry's reputation," Percy cut in. "Those two bastards have no right to enjoy the things that other children have."

McGonagall went red. How dare Percy call those sweet children 'bastards?'

"I'm sure that your mum would love hearing that word coming out of your mouth," McGonagall said.

"Like hell, she would agree with me," Percy said.

"Be as it may, I'm sure that Harry wouldn't," McGonagall said. "And if you don't let them attend them I'm telling their father."

Percy laughed. "Fine way to get my sister angry," Percy told her.

"I don't care," McGonagall said. "They have every right to be among other children. Their father was kept away from that and I'm not having those two grow up just like Harry did."

"Then I'm sure that Ginny will love to press charges against Hermione," Percy said. "I'm sure that Hermione will do well out on the streets because that's where she'll be going without a job."

"Then she'll have a place at Hogwarts as the new Potions Mistress," McGonagall countered. "Slughorn is leaving anyway."

"I'll block it."

"I'll tell Harry that you said that," McGonagall said. "Good day."

And she left his office.

The next place that she went to was the Auror office. However Harry wasn't there though Seamus told her that he was at home.

"Thanks, Seamus," McGonagall said and then left.

When she arrived at number four Grimmauld Place McGonagall was relieved to see that Ginny wasn't at home. Kreacter took her cloak and led her to where Harry was at.

"Hello, Harry," McGonagall said.

"Minerva, what brings you here?" Harry asked, surprised.

"Well I wish to speak with you," McGonagall said. "Alone."

"Kreature will leave," the elf said and then left them alone.

"So what do you want to talk to me about?" Harry asked.

"Well I want to know what you remember six years ago, when Voldemort was defeated?" McGonagall asked him.

Harry frowned at her but thought.

"Well the entire school had a lot of alcohol and naturally the Gryffindors who survived the final battle had some."

"Did you get drunk by any chance?" McGonagall asked.

"Yes, I did," Harry answered. "Why do you ask?"

"Because Hermione Granger got pregnant by you," McGonagall told him.

Harry went white and McGonagall hoped that she had said it right.

"Wait a minute, are you telling me that I've got a child out there, that James has an older sibling."

"That's exactly what I'm telling you," McGonagall said. "And Percy is making life difficult for everyone. He refuses to let your son and daughter go to magical primary school. He says that they have no right to enjoy what other children have."

"But why didn't Hermione tell me this happened?"

"Because she didn't want to ruin her friendship with you and ruin your marriage with Ginny," McGonagall said. "That's how much she cares for you as a friend."

McGonagall let Harry think about what she had just said. Finally he spoke.

"I want to see them," Harry said.

"Very well but I want you to handle Percy," McGonagall said. "He is threatening to tell your wife some lie and get her kicked out of the Ministry."

"But Ginny wouldn't do that," Harry said.

McGonagall snorted at his words. "Trust me, a woman can do a lot of things that aren't so pretty," she stated.

Harry said nothing to this.

A/N: Well Harry now knows that he has two children. Up next: Harry visits Remus and Amelia and Ginny finds out about them as well. Trust me, people, this won't be pretty.
