The Drama of the Potters
A/N- I am still trying to figure out this website but don't worry, I think I have it now. Hopefully you enjoy this fan fiction, if you even are there XD. Now, onwards! To the story!
Rita Skeeter's career was at a declining point. Witches and Wizards around the globe have started to stop buying her books. And, it was the Golden Trio's fault. Ron Weasley. Harry Potter. Hermione Granger. Rita could not believe how much she hated them! If there was any way she could get back at them… But alas, it was impossible. Not only did they know her secret of being an unregistered animagus (including Ron's threat to arrest her personally if she goes publishing anymore lies), Harry Potter has discredited everything she wrote, in his very large autobiography, which became the most bought book in wizarding history (and still being bought every 30 seconds). Those books discredited hers. Including her most bought ones which included, Severous Snape: Scoundrel or Saint, The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore, and Harry Potter: Hero or Zero! Seriously! The nerve of him! His autobiographies information made Rita's book completely unreliable and that fact got it removed from Florish and Blotts (including other major book stores). In fact, she has become more of a disgrace than Gilderoy Lockhart! Lockhart! Oh, but don't even get her started on Hermione Granger! That woman keeps on using the law in order to get Rita to shut up. If only if there was a way, to make them all feel her pain. If only….
"You know dad, you really do NOT have to walk us to Platform 9 and ¾ anymore…" Albus whispered to his dad terrified that people would start swarming him and his dad for autographs.
"Yeah, Albus is a grown man! Why do you have to babysit him, Lily, or ME! I already finished Hogwarts, why do I have to come?" James pleaded to his father while his mother Ginny simply laughed out loud.
"Nice to know that our children won't miss us," Harry said jokingly to Ginny.
"HEY! That's not true, it's just you are embarrassing us! You think people won't talk if the see Harry Potter dragging his oldest son James to the platform! What if our cousins see this?" Lily sighed as she already saw Muggles pointing at Harry dragging James with ease while James is trying to kick and punch him.
"Trust me Lily, we already see this," Hugo said as he and Rose sniggered.
"Where did you two come from?" Albus asked both curiously and in surprise as a moment ago, there were only Muggles behind them.
"Magic. Duh." Uncle Ron said from the left side of Hugo and Rose with Aunt Hermione directly behind him.
"Which spell?" James asked suddenly curious, "Maybe I could use it to get out of my stupid dads grip!"
"We Side Apparated," Hermione answered before greeting everyone in Harry's family.
"Wait, Wouldn't the Muggles see you?" James muttered mainly to himself.
"Nope. Trust me James, when you actually get a job and work in it for a couple of years, you get try some magic that you can't learn from school," Ron commented smugly with Harry smiling to himself about the job comment.
"Hey! Technically I have a job! One that I was assigned to not on my own free will DAD," James said defensively.
"Care of Magical Creatures Assistant at Hogwarts is not a bad temporary job James. Yes, temporary. You will have it until you find a job that is NOT a joke shop," Ginny replied strictly.
"My parents are no fun," James complained to himself before quickly saying, "But Uncle Fred can run his own, why can't I?"
"Because the wizading world has had enough pranking gadgets for now!" Lily said remembering the time James dyed her hair rainbow with one of the Weasley Wizard Weezes pills, which lasted a month.
"Agreed," said Hermione, Harry, Albus, and Ginny at once.
"Agree to Disagree?" Ron asked carefully, in case if it ticked off his wife.
"At least Uncle Ron agrees with me," James told himself defeated.
"Well here we are Harry announced to everyone as they went through the brick wall carefully not to be spotted by Muggles.
The one major similarity between the regular station and Platform 9 and ¾ was that they were crowded. Really Crowded. Students were excited the be of to Hogwarts while parents want to see them go off. Naturally, about half of the crowd instantly noticed Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Ginny Weasley.
"Mr. Potter! How has the Auror Department been doing, I heard you caught 13 Death Eaters yesterday!"
"Mrs. Potter, are you sure you do not want to play for the Holyhead Harpies this year in the Quidditch World Cup?"
"Mrs. Weasley, are there any more house-elf treatment policies I should be aware of?"
"Mr. Weasley, can I have an interview about your journey with Mr. Potter when you were on the run from Lord Voldemort? I want the specifics on what was happening through your perspective! Not just Mr. Potters!"
The shouting and calling out continued for a very long time, while Hugo, Rose, Albus, and Lily tried to make it to the train. James tried to get out of his fathers grip when a crowd of children launched themselves onto his dad for autographs.
Lily, Rose, Hugo, and Al finally got through the pack of people on the train! They quickly found a compartment, which they locked themselves in, to avoid people who tried to be friends with them just to meet their parents (Which happen to be quite a lot of people).
"DAD! IF I AM GOING TO BE AN ASSISTANT FOR HAGRID, WHY DO I HAVE TO TAKE THE TRAIN?" James bellowed over the crowd of screaming witches and wizards quickly silencing them.
"You are not a teacher, professor, or gamekeeper so you have to take the train. However, you get to sit with the conductor," Harry explained normally allowing the witches and wizards to start talking again loudly.
"Wait? I do!" James asked suddenly excited.
"Yep," Harry grinned as he patted his son on the back ushering him to finally get on the train, "Enjoy your 8th year at Hogwarts James!"
"Bye Dad!" James said before rushing to get in the front of the train.
"Al and Rose, enjoy your 7th year, try not to shag anyone! We know this is the year when you kids try!" Ginny called while waving along with all the parents on the platform.
"How does she know?" Albus breathed with the response of Lily laughing hysterically.
"Why can't people try in their 5th year?" Hugo asked himself but only getting a disturbed look from Rose and Al.
"Bye guys!" Ron called to all the kids as they parted with all their parents ready for another year at Hogwarts.
The train was off. They left the platform at first peacefully, but then had a major boost of speed. Not one that the Hogwarts Express usually had.
"What's going on with the train?" Lily screamed as the train was going so fast that they had to hold onto the sides of the compartment.
"Do you think that Death Eaters sped the train up to try to kill us?" Hugo replied with his cheeks shaking from the force of the train.
"There is only one logical explanation," Rose said shakily trying to calm herself down, "James is driving the train!"
"Well that means we are all as good as dead!" Al concluded.
A/N- DUN DUN DUN, Well hopefully you guys like this first chapter. I am intending for it to be as canon to the aftermath of Harry Potter as possible. A lot more references will come up so look out for those!
