I woke up with a start. I was still next to a sleeping Scorpius, his hand resting on my stomach. There was no Mum, no Albus, and no trace of Dad or James. It was all a dream.

Scorpius was right in my dream though, I really do need to get back in touch with them. I thought to myself, hating me for admitting it.

I sat up and gently shook my husband. "Scor, wake up honey, we're gonna be late for work."

Scorpius opened his eyes slowly and sat up sleepily. "Morning love," he said to me and then leaned down until his face was near my belly, "Morning Baby."

I smiled and he once again sat up in bed I kissed his cheek and got up out of our bed on one side, and he got one the other. We got dressed and went to the bathroom to get ready. We brushed our teeth and I brushed my long fiery locks while he combed his short snow-white hair.

"So what do you want for breakfast today?" I asked him.

"Well I do want eggs but today, I cook."

"Should I trust you in here alone, with a stove, that's hot?

"I'm hurt."

I laughed and he started making the eggs, I decided to do some cleaning but right as I got out my wand, I ran to the bathroom and puked.

"LILY, are you okay?" I heard Scorpius yell when he heard me vomit.

"Yeah, I'm fine, probably just morning sickness," I told him.

"Do you still want to eat?"

"Yeah, I'll need some food in my stomach when I go to work," I decided.

He finished the eggs and we sat down to eat.

"These are pretty good," I noted.

"Why thank you."

We finished eating and I re-brushed my teeth to get the puke smell out, then with a kiss goodbye, we both apperated to our places of business. I arrived in my small shop in Diagon Alley called The Witches Brew Potion Shop, and I assumed he arrived at the Potions department in the Ministry.

"Accio Prophet" I said. I turned around and saw the paper at my feet. I looked at the headline on the front page and groaned.

Harry Potter: New Minister of Magic

I opened up the paper and started to read. Unfortunately, this was not a dream like my last adventure having to do with my father.

Harry Potter is no stranger to his nicknames, like, The Chosen One or The boy who lived, but is he able to live the name Minister of Magic to his fullest? Maybe, but then again he can't send this one away with a disarming charm. All we can say is,

GOOD LUCK TO THE BOY WHO LIVED!

Crap! I thought to myself. If my father is the Minister of Magic then he must learn about all the people that work in the ministry. SCORPIUS WORKS IN THE MINISTRY! Well at least I think that's a minister Duty, there's always hope right?

Wait, come to your senses. There is over probably five hundred people that work in the ministry. To learn all of their names would be practically impossible!

It was still nerve racking though.

I waved my wand and the closed sign changed to open, the curtains were magically pushed to the sides and sunlight bleed through the shop. I looked around my small shop for a last minute check and everything was in its place. There were a couple potion instruction books in brown wooden bookshelves on the left walls and on the right were tables with ingredients for potions such as: shrivelfig for the shrinking potion, nettle for the Boil Cure potion, Dittany for a healing potion and many others. Of course they were all kept in jars that do not open unless they were told to only by me. Behind the register were pre-made potions for acne or hair or medicines.

I heard the bell that rand when people opened the door to my shop. I looked up and saw a little girl with blonde hair and a color of eyes I couldn't place. She seemed to be alone which I thought was very strange considering she was only about three.

"Hi," I said walking out from behind the counter and kneeling in front of her so we were eye-to-eye. "Are you lost?"

"Yeah," she replied looking a bit scared. "I was with my mummy and she meant to floo me to my uncles Georgie's shop and then she must mess up because I ended up in the fire place right over there!" She told me frantically pointing to the fire place across the road.

"Okay, I'll take you to your uncles shop right now let me just close up really quickly," I promised.

"Dank you," she said softly.

I turned the open sign to closed and walked out of the shop with the little girl at my heels.

"What's your name?" I asked her while turning the corner to see my uncles joke shop.

"Adrienne Lily," She told me.

"Oh what a pretty name, my first name is Lily!" I said, "Now where does your uncle work?"

"Weasleys Wizard Wheezes," She told me causing me to stop, dead in my tracks,

"w-what did you say?"

"It's a joke shop! My uncle George runs it with his son, who is my Uncle Freddie!" She exclaimed, her eyes lighting up at the mention of the shop that had always held so many memories for me. "Oh look there it is!"

I was about to say that I would drop her off right in front of the shop when I heard a voice calling her.

"Adrienne!" I turned around to see a tall man with blue hair running forward and picking up the little girl in his arms. It was Teddy.

Adrienne squealed "Daddy!"

"How did you get lost?"

"I don't know I just popped out of a fire place right across from this nice ladies shop!" Adrienne told her father. Teddy noticed me for the first time looked over.

"Thank you for taking her-"he started but then realized something. "LILY?"

"Hi Teddy," I said looking at my feet.

"LILY!" Teddy exclaimed giving me a hug while my arms still fell limp at my side. When he let go and I looked at his face, his expression changed from happy to stern.

"Lily Luna Potter where have you been?"

"Err well you know…"

"And don't give me any of your smart ass remarks that you were oh-so-famous for!" I want real answers!"

Adrienne looked at her father innocently and asked, "Daddy why are you yelling at her?"

"Long story baby, go find Mummy," he told her, and then calling out "VICTOIRE!"

My blonde first cousin appeared around the corner running towards Teddy and seeing Adrienne grabbing her into her arms and picking her up lovingly. "ADY! I'm so sorry; Mummy must have made a Boo-boo."

"Its okay Mummy this nice lady helped me!

Victoire looked at me. "LILY?"

"Err-"

"Vic we'll talk about this later," Teddy told her not taking his eyes off of me.

"But-"

"Trust me honey."

"Fine, but you better have a good explanation." She turned and walked in the direction of the shop.

"Well, you didn't answer my question," he said impatiently.

"I'm glad to see Adrienne grown up." I said trying to change the subject. It was true though, I hadn't seen Adrienne since she was born and Teddy made her godmother. Teddy and I had always gotten on well. He and Rose were always my favorite cousins. Even when I was sorted into Slytherin he didn't mind. He, Rose and Albus were always my family I knew I could trust.

"Don't change the subject!"

"Okay sit down this will take a while," I told him, sighing and gesturing to a nearby bench.

We sat down and I started to tell him my story. "So after I graduated Hogwarts I got into yet another fight with dad and I moved in with Scorpius Malfoy, my boyfriend at the time. We lived together a month and I worked at a small shop not too far from here until I raised enough money to buy my store. When I had everything in my store just the way I wanted I was happy, but I was still too angry and scared to come back to you guys."

"Then one day in January after closing time I was in my shop and Scorpius came in after closing time with some hot cocoa and we spent some time together and then he proposed and I said "Yes".

"WHAT!" Teddy exclaimed.

"Will you let me finish!" I snapped, irritated.

"Sorry."

"So anyway we eloped about one year and a half ago on September third, the day we met. I was less angry and less upset, but still too afraid to return. I must say though, meeting you here makes it so much easier, because I knew I had to reconnect sometime because I found out I was- "I started to say but then cut myself off.

"Because you found out you were what?" Teddy said looking worried.

"Pregnant, because I found out I was pregnant!" I couldn't bear what Teddy would say to I ran off.

"Lily Wait!" Teddy called after me, but I didn't turn back, I apperated the hell out of there.

Sorry for abandoning my story! I didn't like what I was writing but now I know how to make it better! Also sorry for Harry's OOCness in previous chaps.
