Chapter 23: 44 Godric's Hallow

December 22, 2019; Present

As Teddy ran out the back door, Rachel was immediately swarmed by her parents, friends and sister where she could be heard doing what is best described as screeching. Reese had somehow summoned popcorn and she was laughing with Danny, Goldy, Steve and Amy. Roxy, Molly, Lucy, Fred, James, Lily, Al, Rose, Hugo, Dominique, and Louis were all cheering and Ginny, Harry and Andromeda were trying to smooth everything over with the bride.

"I don't care!" Rachel shrieked. She huffed, threw her flowers on the ground while she stomped her foot and ran from the altar, giving a great big fake sob as she went. This caused Reese to laugh harder.

Ron and Hermione hesitantly made their way to the back room. "Hi," Hermione greeted.

"Hey," everyone chorused back.

"So…" Ron started, then looking to Hermione for help.

"There has been a, er, slight change of plans," Hermione said. "I'm going to take you back to our house not, OK? Just let me go grab Hu and Rosie. Oh, and I should probably ask Ginny if she wants me to take Al, Jamie and Lils, too. Hmm…"

Three minutes later, while the Ron deflected all questions about what was going on, Hermione returned with Rose, Hugo, James, Lily and Albus in tow. "Let's go," Ron said. Ron grabbed all the Past People and Apparated them back to 44 Godric's Hallow as Hermione grabbed the kids and Apparated.

Ron and Hermione were shocked at how big their house was. It was slightly smaller than the Potter's house, but was still a mansion. It had a big archway that led to either a door on one side or a big, sweeping staircase on the other. Nobody other than Ron and Hermione ever really used what was on the other side of the door as it was mostly storage and Hermione and Ron's studies. So as the future generation led them up the staircase and into the kitchen that was very cute with light blue walls, the Past People marveled again at the engravings on the walls. They were almost identical to the ones at the Potter's.

"Wow, this is amazing," Molly I said.

Hermione smiled.
