Chapter 6: Meeting The Family

Severus and Harry walked outside, only for Harry to bump into Makalo's chest. Makalo laughed and held on to his shoulders, steading him.

"I see you have your father's height," Harry said bending his neck slightly to look at him. His hair was no longer curly but in long small dreadlocks. His light brown eyes were so vibrant they could make any woman or man take a second glance at him. He then looked around at the rest of the children. If he didn't know better, he could have sworn Prue was a Veela. Like 'Kalo she no longer had the baby curls but long blonde hair that met to the middle of her back. She wore black rectangular-shaped glasses that gave her the bookish look. Her eyes were were a mixture of both of her parents; Hermione's brown eyes and Luna's grey eyes.

And lastly Remy Adrian. If he didn't know better, he would have thought it was Remus from his younger years. There were only subtle differences he saw that were inherited from Kingsley.

" Are you through looking at us now? I really want to see the baby," whined Alex. Luna lightly slapped her brother upside the head. They laughed as she pushed him towards the steps to the floo. As the rest followed, Makalo put his arm around Remy's shoulder and shook him gently.

"How does it feel to be a big brother huh?!"

Remy laughed. "I really don't know considering I'm already grown and out of the house. I mean I can't take the poor bloke out for a beer until I'm almost 40!"

Severus snorted as the rest of them laughed. Luna held the floo powder in her hands and turned to her parents. "I sent an owl to Aunt Hermione about your condition Dad. So there shouldn't be any surprises." When Harry nodded she threw the floo in the fireplace.

"St. Mungos Maternity Ward!"

OoOoOoO

As they stepped out the floor, Hermione was waiting on them. Harry smiled at the sight. Her hair was no longer bushy but curly with a few curls held in the back with chopsticks. She was a bit taller and filled out at all there right places. She hugged the kids as she they made their way to Remus' room after telling them the number.

She turned to Harry with a bit of a sad smile.

Harry went to her and gave her a hug. Though he only saw her younger self hours ago, seeing the older Hermione makes him feel as if he hasn't seen her in well...23 years. She hugged him back tightly.

"Luna Jr. told me everything. We will get your memories back I promise."

Harry laughed at the nickname and pulled back from the embrace. "Well it's more about transporting me back to my time. Though I can say I like this one better."

Hermione laughed and gave Severus a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek. Severus smiled and with a gentle squeeze on Harry's shoulder, he followed the kids. Hermione turned back to Harry and put her arm around his shoulders as they walked down the hall.

"I'm surprised you don't remember the spell. I mean...it was cast in your time. Right?"

Hermione nodded. " I think so. But I think the spell was erased from our memories since you being here does effect with time. But I do remember you waking up in the infirmary talking about some crazy dream about being married to Snape. Dumbledore immediately told us to leave. I think he must have oblivated you as well as Ron and me."

Harry growled at the mention of his former best friend.

Hermione tightened her arm around Harry's shoulders." I assume Severus told you what happened with Ron, correct?"

"Yeah. I cannot believe he would-"

"I know," Hermione interrupted. "Minerva nearly ripped him into sheds after escaping the cage. She gave out a bitter laugh. She never got in trouble of course, because he didn't want to admit he got beaten up by an old lady."

Harry laughed. "How is Professor McGonagall?"

"She's good. She became Headmistress a year after...you know...when the Headmaster retired. She retired herself three years ago. She comes over to your home, like we all do, every Sunday for dinner."

"And the Headmaster?"

Hermione took a deep breath and let it out. "He died last December. We knew it was his time, but it hurt like hell when he was gone. We were able to say our goodbyes so that helped in our grief."

Harry wiped the unleashed tears in his eyes.

"But we all have a portrait for him in our libraries so it's not like he's completely gone," she said. "He loves telling the children stories they didn't hear when he was alive."

Harry laughed. That's just like Dumbledore.

When they made it to Remus' room Hermione knocked on the door. After hearing a deep voice telling them to enter, she opened the door. Eight heads looked up as they enter. Harry first noticed that Remus was sitting in the rocking chair with a blanket over him. Other than the streaks of grey in his hair there was not a big difference. He would have thought Remus would look older being a werewolf. And Kingsley? Twenty-three years have gone by and he can honestly say he has not changed a bit. The bald head, the golden earing, and all the muscles, was still the same. By the sad smile on their faces he knew Severus and Luna told them what happened.

Harry looked at Severus, who was rocking baby Jamie in his arms.

"May I?" he said to Remus.

Remus nodded his head and Severus handed the baby into Harry's waiting arms. The baby had strong features, much like Kingsley. The baby briefly opened his eyes before shutting them and snuggling into his blanket.

"He's beautiful," he said.

"Thank you," the dads said in unison.

"Where's Luna Sr.?" Harry asked Hermione.

Hermione smirked. "She's probably asleep. Unfortunately Kingsley was unable to make the birth, so she came and coached Remus. She was here all night putting blessings on the baby before I told her to go home."

"Blessings?"

Hermione laughed. "This is Luna we are talking about."

Just then the baby made his presence known. Harry began rocking him and he began to quiet down but still whimpering.

"I'll get him a bottle," Hermione said and left the room. When she came back Harry gave the baby to Remus and put the nipple in the baby's mouth who sucked greedily.

"Thankfully he's a quiet baby, that is until he's hungry or needs a diaper change," Remus said rocking gently as he fed the baby.

"Yeah unlike Remy," Kingsley said smirking at his oldest son.

"Hey! You said I was a quiet baby!"

Kingsley deep laughed echoed around the room. "Yeah right! You nearly busted our eardrums every night. Of course Remus let me sleep since I was the one to give birth to you."

Harry jaw dropped. "You gave birth to Remy? I thought Remus carried both kids."

Kingsley shook his head. "Remus was still a werewolf and we could not risk it."

"So you are cured," Harry said in awe to Remus.

Remus nodded. "Yeah, thanks to you and Severus. It was the best birthday gift I've ever received."

Harry smiled at Severus who smiled back.

"It was kinda funny seeing a pregnant Minster of Magic," Severus said smirking.

"Yeah, poor Rita Skeeter nearly got her head torn off by Remus," Kingsley said.

Harry laughed. "For what?"

Remus burped his son then stood up and put the baby into his cot. "She made fun of his weight. Of course no one other than us knew he was pregnant at the time."

"And she's still living and breathing? You're going soft Remus."

"Well Kingsley told me to spare her life."

"Well it wouldn't look good if the Minister of Magic's husband is on trial for murder," Kingsley said smirking at Remus.

Hermione laughed at the two. "As much as love hearing these conversations, visiting hours are almost over. And I prefer not to get in any trouble. Now I have rounds to make before leaving. Kingsley, you know where to find me if there are any complications. Your release papers will be ready in the morning Remus." She waved her goodbyes and left the room.

Kingsley clapped his hands loudly to wake the remaining children. "Time to leave kids. We'll see you all in the morning."

"Luna pushed her brother off the bed and stood up. Remy hugged both his fathers and his little brother before leaving.

"Back to studying. My parents will be back from America in the morning," he said hugging Remus.

"Tell Dean I said congrats on his art exhibit," Remus said hugging him back.

"I will," after giving his goodbyes to the rest he left as well.

Harry came over to hug Remus. "I'm so happy for you."

"Thank you Harry. I know in your time you're still going through the motions. But now you know there is light at the end of the tunnel."

Harry kissed his cheek before releasing him. He put an arm around his husband. His husband. As he and his family left the room.

OoOoOoO
