Chapter Three
JK Rowling does not let us lesser mortals take credit for her amazing work so I'm not going to try all JK's characters other than the obvious ones that are mines but without her I wouldn't have them either. She is my hero.
The Next Generation looked at each other and nodded at Albus,
"You go first Al, you're obvious anyway."
Al stood up and looked the people at the table up and down then opened his mouth to speak...
"Well, I'm-"
"Wait, don't you think we should start from the beginning? After the, uh…thing, at Hogwarts?" asked Lily.
"Yeah, yeah that's a good idea, can I tell it?" Teddy asked his 'cousins'.
"Wait! We wanna know who you are!" frowned Ron
"Well you will, when we tell you the story!" Teddy told him, but changed his mind and said quickly, "This is Lily, Victoire, Albus, Scorpius, Daisy, and Hugo" while pointing everyone out.
"Well it all starts after a fight at Hogwarts during Harry's seventh year, in the aftermath people tried to rebuild their lives and Harry, Ron, Neville and a couple of other people who fought at Hogwarts were asked to join the newly rebuilt auror department to round up death eaters so they did just that, and Hermione and Ginny went back to Hogwarts to complete school. George and uh, Fred went back to their shop in Diagon Alley and-"
"Wait! We have a shop? Is it called Wicked Weasley Whizzes? "Asked Fred excitedly, missing Teddy's hesitation at his name.
"Uh no, Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes."
"Aw man, that means you win…" Fred groaned to a celebrating George.
"Win WHAT?" Glared Mrs Weasley, the twins avoided her gaze and Teddy hurriedly went on with the story.
"Where was I…? Oh, yeah, right, Charlie was back in Romania working and Percy was once again working under the minister…" Teddy noticed the Weasley's faces harden at Percy's name and Molly's eyes water up, "Don't worry, he admits he's a prat and you all make up, anyway, Percy was at the ministry and oh!" He smiled slyly at Bill and continued, "Bill was settling into married life quite nicely"
"I'M MARRIED!" Bill yelled while his mother pounced on him, "To who?"
"Does ze name Fleur Delacour mean any zing to you?" Victoire imitated her mother's accent.
Bills eyes widened then a massive grin broke out on his face, everyone at the around the table had the same shocked expression on their faces, remembering the quarter veela from last year's Triwizard Tournament.
"You get a VEELA? How the in world did you manage that?" Sirius asked Bill looking slightly jealous.
"Got. I've already got that." Bill corrected him smugly, "I actually already date Fleur, I was going to tell you soon because I think she'd be good for the order."
"Anyway, a year passed and on the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, a little baby girl was born into the Weasley family-"
"Who's!" Ron demanded."
"Bill and Fleur decided to name her Victory or Victoire in Fleur's native tongue." Teddy carried on, ignoring Ron.
Everyone turned to face Victoire, who was smiling broadly at her dad,
"Hi daddy!" She laughed at the dumbstruck expression on his face, "I guess I'm a bit of a shock huh?" Everyone at the table laughed as Bill sat opening and shutting his mouth like a goldfish before suddenly turning and pulling Victoire into a tight hug.
"I'm a dad? This is so weird; tell me I'm a cool dad though right?" Victoire looked thoughtful for a moment and said, "To be honest, is there such a thing as a cool dad?"
Teddy smiled at his wife and coughed loudly before continuing on with his tale,
"So little Victoire was very much loved, being the first Weasley grandchild and the fact she was a girl added to that, the Weasley curse of boys was well and truly diminished. Not long after Percy married a witch called Audrey who was the year below him at Hogwarts."
"Oh! Two of my boys married, I'm so happy!" Mrs Weasley said while beaming at her husband.
"And not too long afterwards, both Audrey and Fleur fell pregnant again and the Weasley family were blessed with ANOTHER two little girls born just two months apart, Bill had another daughter called Dominique and Percy's daughter was called Molly after his grandmother."
Molly squealed with delight and grabbed Bill for another hug, wishing Percy was there too.
"So, what's Dominique like?" Bill asked Victoire.
"Well she's the true Weasley one out of us. She got the red hair and the freckles like you, where-as you can see I'm more like my mother. She's an absolute Quidditch freak, won't go a day with touching her broomstick once." Bill smiled at this description of his second daughter, she reminded him of a female Charlie when they were teenagers.
"Anyway, there was a small break in the baby-making for a while ("Language Ted!") and a couple of more people got married. Harry and Ginny were first-"
"WHAT!" Fred, George, Bill and Ron all yelled.
"I MARRY HARRY POTTER!" Squealed Ginny before blushing and hiding her face in her hands.
Harry just sat there dumbstruck while Molly, Arthur, Sirius, Remus, Tonks, Hermione and Dumbledore all smiled at him,
"You'll finally be a part of the family!" Molly said, "Not that you ever weren't of course."
"ANYWAY!" Teddy tried to continue, "Not long after Harry and Ginny, Neville and Hannah also married and bought the Leaky Cauldron from old Tom."
"Neville gets married!" Hermione grinned, "That's wonderful! And is that Hannah Abbott?"
"Neville changes a lot in the next few years." Teddy told the shocked faces in front of him, "You won't recognise him by the time he's married and yeah, Hannah Longbottom to us though."
"After Neville and Hannah marry, George joins the club and gets hitched to Angelina-"
"You marry my girlfriend!" Fred pretended to look hurt and then laughed and slapped his brother on the back, "Congrats man."
Mrs Weasley now had tears of happiness forming in her eyes, three of her boys were going to get married and have children, it was everything that she dreamed about.
"At this point in time, both Harry was still working as an Auror and Ron had left to go work at Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, and Hermione had started work fighting for elf rights within the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and Ginny was playing for the Holyhead Harpies-"
"Ginny can play Quidditch?" The twins yelled.
"What position?" Ginny asked
"You play chaser and of course she can play Quidditch, she's bloody brilliant!" Hugo told his family, "Best goal scorer of the century so far and far better than anyone from this century"
Everyone in the room looked shocked apart from Hermione and Tonks, who knew fine well that Ginny could play Quidditch, admittedly they didn't know she could play as good as Hugo was saying.
"Can I have your autograph?" Tonks Joked.
"Angelina was also playing Quidditch but for the Tutshill Tornados, but not long after they were married, Angelina, Hannah and Ginny all fell pregnant and Angelina and Ginny had to quit playing Quidditch-"
"You…You get my BABY sister pregnant?" Growled Bill.
"You ruin my sisters QUIDDITCH career!" Yelled Ron.
"You're not asexual?" Chorused Fred and George.
Harry glared at the twins, then turned a deep crimson as if it had just hit him what was being said.
"I-I..We're married!" He defended himself, "And if it helps I definitely don't feel like that towards your sister right now…"
Ginny looked momentarily crushed then smiled brightly,
"But you will" she said in a sing-song voice.
Ron looked at Harry as if he couldn't decide whether to punch him or hug him. Hermione decided to hug him so when she let go, Ron punched him breaking his glasses in the process.
"Merlin Ron!" Bill said, "Seriously needing to work on those anger issues mate."
Everyone was staring at Harry and Ron with wide eyes until they both burst out laughing, Hermione muttered something like "boys" and turned back to Teddy, nodding at him to continue.
"Fleur was also pregnant for a third time-"
"Bill, you are definitely a Weasley" Sirius joked
"-and soon after she gave birth to a boy called Louis, then Ginny also had a boy who they named James, and George had a boy called Fred and Hannah and Neville gave birth to a set of twins called Frank and Belle."
"You let me call my son James?" Harry asked Ginny before getting up and hugging her gently, on his way back to his seat Sirius gave his a squeeze on the shoulder to show he understood.
"Yeah, James Sirius Potter. Absolute Heart throb." Whispered Daisy to Lily, it was her favourite hobby to tease lily about how hot her brothers were to gross her out.
Lily glared at her.
"Sirius? You give you son the name James Sirius?" Sirius widened his eyes in mock horror, "You were just asking for trouble there son."
Everyone laughed and Dumbledore said "Indeed" With a twinkle in his eye.
"So tell us about our kids!" said Ginny.
"Well, Louis is a bit like Victoire, except he has freckles. He's constantly got girls chasing after him but he doesn't take advantage of it." Teddy told Bill, "You and him are really close." He added.
"James is a bit of a knob." Lily said before Victoire interrupted her.
"Actually he's not, she's joking. He's like a Weasley, tall and red-headed but he has Harry's facial features and Ginny's Brown eyes. And your right, giving him that name was not clever." Molly groaned while everyone else laughed at the future prankster.
"What about my nephew? Does he live up to his oh-so-awesome name?" Fred asked.
"Yes." Lily, Hugo, Teddy, Victoire, Daisy and Scorpius and Al said at the same time
"He is the double of Fred and you but obviously with darker skin because of Angelina and Black hair." Lily told her uncle George.
"Anyway, after that Draco Malfoy married Astoria Greengrass and had this git" Al said, sticking his tongue out at Scorpius.
Teddy grinned and continued, "And after years of dating, and bickering, a certain two people finally made it official and tied the knot…"
Molly shrieked and grabbed Hermione into a crushing hug, while everyone who didn't already know sat staring at them looking very confused.
"Hermione Granger became Hermione Weasley officially after being an honorary Weasley for years when she married Ron-"
"ME!" Ron had fallen back of the chair he had been swinging on and his ginger head poked up from under the table, "How the hell did that happen?" he glanced at Hermione, "No offence…"
"Well uh, you got together at 18, once you had matured a bit Ron..." Hugo told his dad what his mum had told him so many years ago.
"And once again there was pregnant woman in the Weasley family," Teddy said, smiling.
"Hermione, Ginny and Hannah all fall pregnant simultaneously and Hermione gives birth at the start of august to a little Rose, then Ginny just a week later to a boy then Hannah to a girl."
"A little Rose?" Ron questioned, "Like a girl?"
"I call my daughter Rose?" Hermione asked, "I love that name…"
"Me too." Ron said smiling at her.
Molly burst out crying and hugged the two of them, unfortunately also getting Harry who was sitting in between them.
"What's my son called?" Ginny demanded.
"Albus Severus Potter" answered Al, "You look really young mum, it's weird." He added to Ginny who was only 14 at the time to her sons eighteen.
"You're my son?" Harry asked, looking happy at the tall boy in front of him, "Wow, this is…"
"I know." Was all Al said.
"Severus! Did you fall on your head Harry, that's Snapes name!" Ron said, looking warily at his friend.
"ProfessorSnape, Mr Weasley" Dumbledore corrected him
"Look, you don't know what it's like in our time, Professor Dumbledore's been telling the truth the whole time, Snapes a good guy, you just realise too late…" Lily told her dad and uncles.
"Neville's daughter was called Ivy by the way, for anyone interested" said Daisy, wishing her teenage parents were here.
"That's great, he loves Herbology too, very clever." Harry told her, changing the subject form his future selves name choice.
"Hey, I just realised me and Charlie aren't married yet but this specky little git is" Moaned Fred, while pointing at Harry.
"Yeah, you don't get married, sorry" Said Teddy too quickly. "And Charlie always says his no woman could ever compete with a Hungarian Horntail."
"Anyway, not long after that, George and Angelina have another kid, a daughter this time, called Roxanne. George didn't pass on the twin gene, but his kids were both born on the same day just two years apart. And Percy has another daughter called Lucy."
"I wonder where we get the name Roxanne from…" George asked no one in particular, "And I hope she's just as bad as her dear brother?"
"Yeah, she's made it her life's ambition to be a better prankster than you two put together, I have to say, it's a close call" Victoire said, laughing at her younger cousins antics.
"And just before Christmas that same year, Hermione and Ron have a second child who they name Hugo-"
"I knew you looked just like me!" Ron stated the obvious.
"Why the hell do you call your kid Hugo?" laughed Fred
"Uh excuse me" Frowned Hugo, "I'm named after an author my mum likes." He smiled at his mother, "He's my favourite too."
"An author called Hugo? I can only think of- oh…" Hermione blushed and stared down at her hands.
"Hermione…?" Harry asked, "What is it?"
"Well, the author is actually called Victor Hugo, but I guess I know why we don't call him Victor right?" she gave a weak smile and continued to blush at her hands.
Teddy moved on quickly, "and then in February, both Hannah and Ginny were expecting again-"
"Wow, fourth kid, who knew Neville had it in him." Daisy glared at the side of Ron's face.
"-and on the eighteenth of February at two minutes to midnight Daisy Longbottom here was born and then at two minutes past on the nineteenth, Lily Luna Potter entered the world, because of this, they've grown up convinced they were twins separated at birth." Teddy rolled his eyes at his 'little sister' and her best friend.
"You do look very much like Ginny dear, except your nose, that's certainly you fathers" Mrs Weasley told Lily fondly. "Why on earth do you give her that middle name though?"
"Luna's my friend mum…" Ginny muttered.
"Actually Auntie Luna is all your friends" Lily told them, "I suppose she isn't yet though…"
"Yeah, she has two sons in the same year as Lily, Hugo and Daisy. They're twins. Lorcan and Lysander Scamander" Scorpius said, speaking for the first time.
"Scamander? As in Newt?" Hermione wondered
"Yep, Luna marries his grandson Rolf. They travelled for a while but then Luna fell pregnant and the moved in not far from our house" Hugo told his mum.
"And your Nevilles daughter? Wow you look really like Hannah. I wouldn't have guessed you were even related to Neville." Hermione told Daisy, "What does Neville do in your time? Is he and auror still as well?"
"No my dad is the Herbology professor at Hogwarts" Daisy said, looking proud.
"Wow this is so weird hearing about all this." Hermione said aloud, "What houses where you all in at Hogwarts?" she added and everyone perked up.
"Well…" Began Teddy, "Victoire, Dominique and Louis were all in Gryfindor" He told Bill.
"Well done Victoire!" Bill told his daughter a little awkwardly.
"And Molly was a Gryfindor while Lucy got sorted into Ravenclaw,"
"Ooh! A Weasley not in Gryfindor? Madness!" Tonks Joked
"Anyway, Fred was in Gryfindor-"
"That's my man!" George said proudly.
"-and Roxanne was a Ravenclaw."
"Wait. My daughter, the serious prankster, was a swatty Ravenclaw? That's absolutely mental."
"Rose was sorted into Ravenclaw too, and Hugo here was put in Gryfindor"
Ron jumped up and punched the air before grabbing Hermione and hugging her in celebration of their children.
"That's how he reacted in our time too" Teddy said and everyone laughed.
"James and Lily both got sorted into Gryfindor with Daisy here and-"
"Aw Al, the glasses make you look like a Ravenclaw" Fred joked,
"Yeah, dunno where you got the brains though" George said
"-Al was sorted into Slytherin with Scorpius."
"WHAT!" Sirius, Tonks, Harry and all of the Weasley's bar Molly yelled.
"Oh god. How did you end up in Slytherin?" Ron asked his nephew.
"Well..before I got on the train, I was a bit nervous that I'd end up in Slytherin so I asked my dad about it and he told me that the sorting hat takes your choice into consideration so I felt much better, but when I was on the train, Scorpius came into mines, Roses and Ivy's compartment and sat with us and we made friends fast. The four of us made a pact to get into Gryfindor-"
"A Malfoy wanted to be a Gryfindor?" asked Bill sceptically.
"Yeah, I'd grown up watching my dad try to shake of that image he had because of it, I wanted to be a brave wizard and a loyal one."
Bill nodded and Al continued,
"so when we got to the sorting hat and Ivy went first and got sorted into Ravenclaw so already one of us was out, the Scorpius went and he went into Slytherin so when I got called up I sat and the hat wanted to put me in Gryfindor, but I asked it if it really made a difference and he told me 'only if you want it to' so I thought about it for a second and asked the hat to put me in Slytherin and it said it was his second choice anyway and shouted Slytherin out. Not one person clapped. I was gutted."
"Yeah...well do you blame them? Harry Potter's son being sorted into Slytherin? It's crazy" Laughed Victoire.
"You look so much like James and Harry, I can't believe you're a Slytherin" Sirius said, "but I guess things are different in you time. It must be great for it not to matter so much that people are ASKING to be put in Slytherin?"
"It really has." Was all Teddy said.
"Wait! Teddy you didn't mention you!" Hermione said
"Oh! I Was in Gryfindor myself" He grinned.
"No I mean, who are you?"
"Uh, well..I'm..
Dun Dun Dun!
Of course we all know who he is anyway so it's not much of a cliff hanger but man I love Teddy and Remus! I can't wait to do father/son moments with them! ^.^ happy days!
Thank you for the reviews! I'm not one of those FF authors who demands them though haha.
Heres a preview!
"OH DEAR MERLIN! MY EYES!" Hugo yelled covering his eyes with his hand and walking into the door frame.
"Oh god! Oh god! Oh god! Oh god! Oh god! Oh god! Oh god!" Ginny and Hermione kept repeating to themselves squeezing their eyes shut and feeling their way out the door.
"Get in their my son!" Sirius shouted while Remus dragged him out, blushing bright red.
"Uh…can you shut the door on your way out please?"
Have a nice day/night wherever you are!
