Chapter 9: You Knocked Up My Sister?
December 19, 2019; Present
Angelina Weasley, Ginny Potter and Hermione Weasley looked up as a loud bang echoed from the Potter Mansion's Playroom. They rushed up the stairs and into the room to find people all over the floor grumbling and trying to untwist themselves. The portal had disappeared and the only people left standing was Reese, not even looking windswept, Ginger, who was brushing hair out of her face and Louis, who grinned.
"Hey, Ginge, help me up!" James said. Ginger laughed but reached a hand down to pick him up anyway. As soon as he had hold of her hand, he yanked it and sent her flying onto his lap. "Go out with me?"
"NO!"
Victoire chuckled and looked around. Lily was being pulled up by Albus who then bent down to help Alice up. The adults (Tonks, Kingsley, Remus, Mad-Eye, Arthur, Molly, Fleur, Bill, Mundungus, Albus and Minerva) all were shakily standing up. Reese was picking up Bel and placing her on her hip. Goldy was brushing herself off. Teddy was standing next to her, he had just finished helping up an irate Rachel and it took a minute for her to see the hand he was waving in front of her.
"Earth to Vicky! Vic!"
"Oh, what? Sorry." Blushing furiously, Victoire put her hand in his and allowed him to pull her up. She had been best friends with Teddy, Reese, Goldy and Steve Robertson for as long as she could remember. When she was nine, she became friends with Daniel Beaumont. When she was ten, she became friends with Amy Bloom. But with Teddy, it was different. She loved them all but she was in love with Teddy.
"Teddy, I was talking to you!" Rachel reprimanded. She shot Victoire a look that plainly said Touch-Teddy-again-and-I'll-break-your-hand. Victoire winced. It was painful to watch Teddy smile at her then turn to placate Rachel.
After a minute of Ginny's fruitless attempts at getting everyone to shut up, Rachel yelling at Teddy, Rose and Lucy comparing notes on time travel, James asking out Ginger and Ron's exclamation of "Blimey, Neville, when did you get here?", Angelina stood up on the coffee table and yelled, "Oi! Shut up! Now!" Everyone fell silent and George gaped at her.
"Thank-you," Hermione amended as Angie hopped off the table. "Welcome back or to 2019! How much did our lovely kids/friends tell you about this time?" Lily filled her in.
"Okay, well, that's not strictly the truth… I married Ron and Rose and Hugo," she waved her wand and their hair colours went back to normal, "are our kids." Ron and Hermione turned red and looked away from each other. Hermione waved her wand again and everyone went back to normal. "Ginny and Harry got married and had James, Al and Lily."
"What! You knocked up my sister?" Ron started towards Harry but Hermione grabbed his arm unthinkingly and shot him a look. Harry gave Hermione a grateful glance as Ron was distracted by the contact with Hermione. Ginny was speechless but still managed a grin. Molly beamed and hugged Harry as George and Fred sniggered, Arthur smiled and Bill shrugged.
"Were you all at the Burrow in 1996?" Ginny asked.
"I wasn't," Neville said.
"I wasn't," Angelina said, confused. A moment ago, she had been at her friend Alicia's house.
"Me neither," Luna said dreamily.
"I wasn't either," Augusta said.
"Augusta?" Alice gasped.
"Why, yes, dear, do I know you?"
"Not yet," a voice sounded. Augusta turned to look at the doorway as did everyone else. A muscular, round-faced someone was leaning in the doorway but it couldn't be who everyone thought it was. This man was hot.
"Hey, Dad," Alice and Frank said.
