AN- I just want thank everyone for your kind words and prayers for my brother and your patience. He's doing a little better but he has to go back up to the Mayo Clinic in March for tests for his seizures. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Here's the next chapter.
Disclaimer-I don't own Harry Potter
Chapter 4
"It was nice meeting you, Harry." Teddy said politely.
"You too, Ted. Maybe you and Hermione could come visit me this summer." Teddy nodded enthusiastically. Harry pulled Hermione into a tight hug. "So you've got my cell number and I've got yours. We'll keep in touch."
"Bye, Harry. Have a safe flight." Hermione said. Harry got in his rental car and drove away, waving goodbye out the window.
Harry drove through the busy streets of London, wishing he were back in the states, where he was used to driving on the right side of the road and the other side of the car.
He reached the Leaky Cauldron and parked across the street. It looked as run down as ever. He kept his head down as he walked through the pub, not wanting to been seen. According the address Hermione had written down for him, Ron lived next to the Quidditch Supply shop. He found the flat without any trouble and knocked on the door.
"Hey, leave your sister alone." Ron told his oldest son, Andy. He picked Andy up off Lizzy and set him down on the floor, before continuing on his way to answer the door. When he opened it, he found a rather sheepish looking Harry standing on his doorstep. Ron couldn't believe his eyes. "Harry?"
"Hello Ron." Harry said, grinning slightly. Without thinking, Ron raised his right fist and decked Harry across the cheek. Harry cried out in surprise, stumbling backward. Ron proceeded to grab him and pull him in a tight hug.
"Come on in." Ron said after they pulled away. Harry saw toys scattered on the floor and faintly heard yelling coming from the far back of the flat as Ron guided him to the kitchen. "Sorry 'bout the mess. My wife's out shopping with her friends, left me with the kids. Let me heal that cheek for you, sorry about that."
"It's alright, should've seen it coming, I guess." Harry said, rubbing his injured cheek. Ron picked up his wand from the counter and flicked it at Harry's cheek, muttering a healing charm. "Thanks."
"No problem." Ron summoned two butterbeers and offered one to Harry, who accepted it gratefully. "So where've you been?"
"America." He said, taking a sip. He told Ron everything he had told Hermione and about meeting her at the book signing and lunch at her house.
"You should have seen her when you left. She was just so…devastated. She started missing family dinners and looking all over England for you. It was hard to watch." Ron said. A small girl clutching a small bear ran into the kitchen and jumped into Ron's lap.
"Daddy, who is this?" She asked, gazing curiously at Harry.
"This is an old friend from school, his name is Harry. Harry this is my youngest, Marissa" Marissa smiled shyly before hiding her face in Ron's chest. "She's a bit shy. Go play with your brother and sister, okay sweetie."
"Okay. Kiss?" Ron quickly gave her a kiss on the cheek and she ran out of the kitchen.
"I never thought you would have kids." Harry said with a laugh. "You're rather good with them."
"I never thought so either. Now I've got three of them and another one on the way, due in June." Ron said rather proudly. They sat there for an hour, talking about they had been up to for the past few years before Harry announced he needed to get back to the hotel.
"It was great seeing you mate." Harry said, clapping Ron on the back.
"Yeah." Ron nodded. "Look, if your flights canceled or something, you should come over the Burrow tomorrow night for dinner. Everyone will be there; it'll be like old times."
"Yeah, I'd like that. I'll owl you when I get home." They said goodbye once more and Harry left. Ron stood outside, watching his friend walk down the stairs before he heard the kids screaming and had to go break up whatever fight was going on.
AN-Not too much to say about this chapter, I tried to make it longer, but it had too much filler that wasn't needed. Next chapter should be up soon, I hope, I have a page of it already written. PLEASE REVIEW!!
