Kate fidgeted with her dress as Dean knocked on the door. It'd been a year since they'd started dating and about two months since she'd learned of the magical world.
This was her first time really getting to meet any of Dean's friends, his fellow witches and wizards. She was understandably nervous.
The door was ripped open, revealing an older woman with fiery red hair and a kind smile.
"Dean, good to see you. Come in, come in. And who;s this lovely young lady?"
Dean smiled at her as they stepped through the threshold.
"Hello, Mrs. Weasley. This is my girlfriend, Kate."
Mrs. Weasley beamed at her and Kate gave a small smile.
"Welcome, most everyone's in the backyard." She said, pointing through the open, airy living room complete with plush armchairs and a fireplace.
The room seemed relatively normal except for the moving pictures of a blonde man and woman that she assumed was the engaged couple. They had an odd look about them that Kate couldn't place but looked blindingly happy anyway.
Mrs. Weasley gave them one last smile before heading towards the attached kitchen, joining a beautiful blonde woman with silvery blonde hair. Dean stared at said woman a bit too long for Kate's liking so she grabbed his arm and dragged him to the glass double doors.
They stepped outside into the bright summer's day, a soft wind tickling Kate's loose hair.
Picnic tables covered with bright yellow cloth and centerpieces with exotic flowers Kate had never seen before.
Children dressed in nice clothes, scuffed from play, ran around laughing and shrieking.
A few children had the same vibrant hair as Mrs. Weasley and a good number of the adults as well.
Most of the adults were mingling, sitting at the tables or standing in clusters, drinks in hand.
Dean moved towards a group of people around their age.
The couple in the photos were surrounded by five people.
There were two tall, red-headed men, the slightly taller of the two had his arm around a woman with bushy brown hair. Next to the woman was a man with messy black hair and shocking green eyes framed by glasses. Another woman stood next to him, wearing a loose summer dress over her heavily pregnant form and her long, red hair pulled back in a messy bun. The other red-headed man, Kate was horrified to see, was missing an ear.
Once they joined their group the soon-to-be bride said, "It's okay if we make you uncomfortable," in a dreamy voice. "We tend to do that."
This statement did nothing to make Kate feel better and only served to cause all the other adults to look at her with various levels of amusement, as though they too had been victims of the woman's blunt statements.
Dean took her hand. "This is my girlfriend, Kate."
The bushy haired woman quickly took charge.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Hermione Weasley. This is my husband Ron," She stated, indicating the redheaded man next to her. "That's my best friend, Harry," She continued, pointing at the man with the ebony hair.
"His wife, and Ron's sister, Ginny." She said of the pregnant woman. "And their brother, George."She finished with the earless man.
Harry grinned at his wife. "Hear that, Gin? I'm her best friend."
She stuck her tongue out at him in a juvenile manner, causing him to chuckle.
Ron spoke up. "It doesn't matter anyway, husband trumps best friend." He said with a grin.
Hermione rolled her eyes at them all.
A child's call of "Uncle George!" made said man flounce away with a wink, the engaged couple soon to follow, to socialize with the other guests.
The conversation continued , Kate completely clueless as to the people and things being discussed.
Then Harry, as though sensing her awkwardness (it was probably very obvious), asked, "So Kate, where are you from?"
She looked at him gratefully. Finally something she could understand. "Well, Dean and I live in London but I grew up in Surrey. Little Whining to be more exact."
Everyone eyed her with a renewed interest.
"Hey, isn't that where the Dursley's live?" Ron questioned.
"Yeah." Harry answered in an unreadable tone.
He turned back to her. "That's where I grew-"
He stopped mid-sentence and looked down, causing everyone else to follow suit.
A toddler of maybe three was pulling on his pant leg, repeating, "Daddy, daddy, daddy."
He was so adorable that Kate almost awed out loud.
He looked like a miniature Harry, crazy black hair and emerald green eyes. Though he did lack Harry's need for glasses and a lightning bolt scar.
Kate did a double take.
Wait, scar on his forehead and he was most likely saying that he grew up in Little Whining.
Harry Potter, she thought as she stared at him. Wow.
While she attempted to deal with her shock Harry asked, "Hey, Al. What's wrong?"
The little boy stopped his chanting and lifted his arms over his head, a clear sign that he wanted to be picked up.
Harry scooped him up and settled him at his hip, the boy's tiny arms clinging to his neck.
"Jaime's mean." He said with a pout.
Ginny sighed.
"I know, Al. I'll talk to him later, okay?" Harry reassured him.
The little boy nodded and buried his head in Harry's shoulder.
Ginny smiled at them before turning the attention back to Kate.
"What Harry was saying was that he grew up there also. His aunt and uncle still live there I think." She finished with a hard scowl, that clearly stated she disapproved of them. Kate's eyes widened.
"Wait,Dursley. As in Dudley Dursley? Overweight? Completely terrifying?"
Harry nodded. "The same. Though to tell the truth Big D isn't particularly scary anymore. He works at a publishing company.
Kate was astounded. "So you're that Potter? You're a neighborhood legend!"
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Yeah he's a legend there and everywhere else."
Ron snorted and Harry sent her an affronted look but before he could respond Al, who had obviously become bored, put his small hand around Harry's nose; fascinated.
Everyone laughed at his predicament, Ron once again snorting loudly.
Kate felt Dean chuckle beside her and watched as Hermione hid her mouth with a hand, wide smile still visible behind it.
Ginny seemed to find it most entertaining, beaming at her small son. "Good job, Al." She said, ruffling his already-messy hair.
Harry made a noise in protest.
"Don't encourage him." He replied, Al's grip on his nose making his voice sound nasally.
"Hey, Al. Can you please return daddy's nose?" Al nodded somberly before releasing Harry's nose with one last clumsy pat of his face. He let out a small giggle.
Harry grinned at him. "You think you're funny, do you? He then proceeded to tickle his miniature son mercilessly.
And as she looked around the circle of laughing, happy, people, Dean's arm wrapped comfortably around her waist, Kate thought that maybe this was a different kind of magic.
Wow, isn't James always such a devil child. That's okay though because Albus is adorable :) Sorry again for the long wait. Please REVIEW and let me know your comments and ideas for other chapters. I'm thinking either a member of Dudley's gang(as Jaisler suggested) or an AU time travel one, just for fun:)
