"Ronald, we got a letter from the twins!" said Hermione.

"They made the Qudditch team!" Hermione said happily.

"What?!" said Ron.

"Jack is a Beater, and Emma is Keeper" Hermione said eyeing her husband.

"No, no, no, my little girl can't be Keeper, she'll get hurt!" Ron shouted.

"The only one who seems to have a problem with this is you! She is not a little girl anymore! She'll be 13 in April! If you keep up this overly-protective father thing with her, she'll resent you forever. I'm getting you a book on deaf adolescent development and you will read it!" Hermione shouted.

"Fine but, don't come crying to me when our little girl is all banged up in the hospital wing!" Ron shouted.

"For the last time, she's not a little girl! One day you'll wake up and find she's a woman, you won't even know her!" Hermione screamed and stomped off to the nook. Kodiak followed Hermione. Once she sat down on the couch the husky put his head in Hermione's lap.
"Ron doesn't understand anything, Kodiak. Emma wants to be independent like me. When I was in treatment Ron was all about helping me be independent again, I don't understand why he isn't doing the same with his daughter" Hermione whimpered. Ron sighed as he listened to his wife's words. He felt like a total jerk. He didn't know why he was so protective of all the women in his life; his sister, his wife, and his daughter. Ron took out the very organized baby books Hermione had made. He saw the picture of Jack's first word and Emma's first Sign. She looks more like her beautiful mother everyday and is the spitting image of his father. Ron could handle his son growing up so he could become a man and protect his sister but he just can't let his daughter grow up and he doesn't know why.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Emma sat on a bench in her Qudditch uniform taking deep breaths. Jason came to sit next her.

"Hey Emma, I was nervous at my first Qudditch match too, and you know you're very brave; being the first girl ever at Hogwarts to ever take the Keeper position" said Jason.

"Thank you, Jason" said Emma. Lizzie, Leah and Danny came to wish their friends good luck.
"Hi Emma! Oh you must be so excited!" said Lizzie.

"I'm nervous" said Emma holding her stomach.

"You'll do great, Emma! Your tryouts were awesome!" said Leah.

"Thanks girls" said Emma.

"I made you this for good luck, Em" said Danny presenting a tiny handmade carved lion holding a rose in his right paw.

"He can never break. Just attach him to your broom" Danny smiled. Emma blushed. Lizzie turned to Jack in his Beater uniform and she blushed at how handsome he looked.

"Good luck, Jack" said Lizzie shyly.

"Thanks Liz" said Jack smiled.

"Guys, we're ready to start" said Jason. Jack Signed to his sister to take her place in line.

"Here is our new Beater assisting Wood, Jack Weasely and his sister our new Keeper, Emma Weasely. I understand that even though Weasely is deaf she can do the Keeper position quite well because nothing can distract her and she has a special broom to accommodate her needs" Brian Jordan said. Emma turned to the stand where the teachers watched and spotted her parents she smiled happily and waved to them. A Slytherin tried get the Quaffle in the Gryffindor goal but Emma blocked it with her arm.

"Weasely successfully blocks her first goal! I know she can't hear me but way to go, Emma!" said Brian. Jack hit the Quaffle with all his might and it ended up going in Gryffindor's goal.

"Gryffindor scores! Nice job,Weasely!" Brian shouted.

"Yea Jack!" Emma shouted.

"Oh Ron look at our babies! They play Qudditch so wonderfully. Just like their father" said Hermione. Ron looked over at his daughter to see the Bludger coming towards her but her broom got her out of the way and Emma punched the Bludger away with her tiny yet mighty fist. Emma caught her breath and Jason came and tapped her shoulder.

"You alight, Emma? Don't worry about Slythin scoring it's ok" said Jason.

"I'm ok, I was just scared" said Emma.

"Potter caught the Snitch! Gryffindor wins!" Brain shouted.

"We won, Emma! Your cousin caught the Snitch!" said Jason. Emma flew down to James and hugged him tightly which he did in turn. Hermione, Ron, Harry and Ginny came running towards their children. Ron swept up Emma and kissed her forehead.

"I'm so proud of you, Jellybean" said Ron.

"Thanks Daddy" said Emma.

"And you, Mate, you've got a nice set of muscles on you" said Ron ruffling his son's hair.

"Thanks Dad" Jack smiled. Danny ran to his friends. He kissed Emma on the cheek making her blush deeply and gave Jack one of those secret male handshake things; he did the same thing with James too. Lizzie and Leah rushed to Emma and hugged her.

"You were so awesome, Emma! Those Slytherins are still gobsmacked" said Lizzie. Emma turned back to Danny and he smiled at her.

"Thank you for the good luck charm, Danny" said Emma.

"You're welcome, Em, I guess he really helped you" said Danny.

"Yeah he did" Emma blushed.

"Aren't you going to give him a name?" asked Danny.

"Goliath, it seems fitting I think" said Emma stroking the tiny purring lion. Danny stared proudly at his female friend. She just proved that in Qudditch being deaf doesn't matter; how much more wonderful could she get?
