Chapter 32: Eleven Years Later, Part One


It was now eleven years later Isaac was going off to Hogwarts. Delaney couldn't believe that her eldest was going to Hogwarts. Though it's not like she had an empty house. She had another son who was four years younger than his big brother being born in November 2008 about a week after Harry and Hermione had their daughter Lily. They really wanted a little girl so they kept trying but they had another boy in October 2012. This was their last chance since Delaney was three months pregnant. Her musings were interrupted when Neville rested his hand on her ever growing bump.

"Thinking about our next child?" He asked.

Delaney nodded. "I really want a girl but if it doesn't happen I'm happy with our boys."

"Think of it this way, If we have another boy I'll never have to threaten to hurt anyone who even looks at my daughter."

"I'm concerned our next child may not have any friends at Hogwarts being born after all our friend's children," Delaney sighed.

"They will have friends if anything else I'll pay them to be friends with our child," Neville chuckled, dodging his wife's playful slap.

"I suppose Frank Jr. will be there to watch over them."

The train whistled and Neville gave Delaney a passionate kiss his hands drifting to her hips despite the protests from their two eldest sons Isaac and Wesley. Their youngest was almost three so he didn't understand what was going on. Neville smirked as he boarded the train with his eldest.

Delaney walked off with their six-year-old and two-year-old. Isaac was sorted into Hufflepuff.

It was now a month later and Delaney was at her healer's office.

"How long have I been your healer, Delaney?"

"Since I was pregnant with Isaac."

Michael nodded and said. "Your patience and hard work with Neville." he winked and continued, "paid off you're going to be the pound parents of a baby girl in five months. I'll say I feel sorry for this little girl when she starts dating."

"If you're pulling my leg, this isn't funny."

"I'm not kidding, you're having a girl."

Delaney grinned and she left the hospital. She had to tell someone so she Flooed over to Susan and Zach's before she picked up Wesley and Frank Jr. from their grandparents.

"Hey Delaney," Sue greeted her best friend walking over with her two-year-old daughter Marise.

Delaney grinned. She couldn't wait to have her baby girl.

"You seem distracted," Susan said.

"Oh, sorry. I just found out I'm pregnant with a baby girl."

Susan grinned and said. "Congratulations, you finally get to have the joy of having a little girl."

"I know, I mean I love my little boys but I can't wait."

Susan smiled. Delaney said goodbye to her best friend and flooed over to her in-laws.

"Mummy!" Wesley yelled running up to his mum.

"Hi Wes," she greeted her second eldest son.

He had inherited Delaney's facial features and the need to wear glasses but with Neville's forgetfulness.

"Hello sweetie," Alice greeted her daughter-in-law walking in with Frank Junior.

Their youngest son had inherited his maternal grandfather's brown eyes with his paternal grandfather's black hair. He also seemed to have inherited Neville's love of Herbology although he's only three.

"What's the verdict?"

Delaney grinned and said. "You'll finally have a granddaughter."

Alice mirrored her daughter-in-law's grin and said. "Congratulations, Neville will be so xcited."

"I know

Frank Sr. walked in and noticed his wife and daughter-in-law grinning and said. "I suppose you're having a girl."

"I sure am."

"Well, I'll say this it will be an experience when this little girl starts dating. She'll have three older, protective brothers, a grandfather who is a retired well-known auror and a father who slayed a snake."

Delaney rested her hand on her ever growing bump and said. "She'll be the most protected girl in the country."

"She sure will be."

Delaney flooed home with her two sons. She couldn't wait for Neville to come home.
