The wind rushed through her hair as she leaned forwards, making the broom go faster. She had never been this high, or this fast, on a broomstick before; it was exhilarating. She knew her mother was shouting at her to go lower, knew she ought not to be testing the limits quite so soon, but she was a very good flyer, she could handle it.

Pulling out of a dive she landed smoothly on the ground; her father had a wide, proud smile on his face, her mother looked a little pale.

"Merlin you nearly gave me a heart attack," Hermione said, "I told you to be careful Ara!"

"I was mum," Ara beamed, "I didn't even fall, not once!"

"You were fantastic," Draco laughed, "I haven't seen such fine flying skills in an eleven year old since I myself was eleven."

Hermione rolled her eyes, "Don't encourage her Draco."

"But Hermione she's fantastic! A star in the making!"

"Would you really let me become a professional Quidditch player?" Ara asked.

Hermione looked worried as Draco replied, "Of course! You can be whatever your little heart desires to be."

"Thanks dad," Ara smiled as an Owl flew and landed on her shoulder, holding her leg out. "It's Teddy's Owl!" Ara quickly took the letter off the Owl's leg and read the note, "Andromeda has invited me to come over! Could I mum? Dad? I've never been to Teddy's before!"

"With good reason," Draco muttered while Hermione frowned.

"Could I see that?" She asked and Ara handed the letter to her.

Ara,

I was telling my grandmother what a wonderful time I had with you are your party last week! We got to talking and she suggested I see if you'd like to come for a visit, since it seems as if we only ever see each other at Great-Aunt-Cissy's!

She says to ask your mum and dad what they think and get back to me as soon as you can!

Hope to see you,

Teddy

"Could I? Please mum?" Ara begged, folding her hands together and pleading with her eyes.

"I've got to discuss this with your father, Ara. Give me a few minutes. Why don't you put your broom away and go get cleaned up?"

Ara knew not to argue with her mother, especially if she wanted something, so she nodded and hurried away. Hermione watched her go, thoughts mulling around her head, before sighing and turning to her husband.

"Harry hangs out at Teddy's a lot," Hermione mumbled, "That's what Andromeda told me. He wants to have the kind of relationship with Teddy that he never got to have with Sirius. He wants to be there for Teddy like a father would be. Teddy practically lives with Harry if he's not at Andromeda's."

"So you're worried?"

Hermione nodded, "I don't think Harry would hurt our daughter, Draco, but-." She sighed, "I just don't know what he'd say to her. I'm scared he might not let Teddy near her."

Draco's fists clenched together as he took a deep breath in and let it out slowly calming himself. "We could go with her," he suggested. "That way if Potter shows up we can just leave."

Hermione thought about it, "Wouldn't Meda be suspicious?"

"She knows about the situation Hermione, and she's been nothing but kind and honest with us, and she kept our secret. I think she'd understand."

Hermione nodded, "Alright then. I'll let Ara know. She won't be too happy about it though."

Draco chuckled as the two walked back to the house together. Predictably Ara was upset, thinking her parents just didn't trust her. Hermione didn't want to explain to her eleven year old daughter exactly what the situation was so she just sighed and shook her head, telling her daughter that they trusted her completely, and that it had nothing to do with her.

The next day they flooed over to Teddy and Andromeda's house; as they walked out of the fireplace and into the house, they were greeted by a young girl about Ara's age with thick blonde hair, and bright blue eyes. Something about those eyes had Hermione staring.

"Hi," the girl said smiling, "I'm Victorie!"

"Hello," Hermione said, "Is Andromeda here?"

"I'm right here Hermione," a voice said coming around the corner, "sorry for the intrusion with Victorie. She and her siblings, Dominique and Louis, needed a babysitter for the day and since Victorie and Teddy are friends, I said I'd take them."

"It's no problem," Hermione smiled as the two other children walked in, both had red hair; the girl had auburn red and the boy the famous Weasley red.

"Victorie Weasley," Hermione said, "I take it? Bill and Fleur's daughter? So these must be their children too?"

"I'm sorry Hermione," Andromeda said, "I know things are rough between you and all of them right now."

"Don't worry about it," Hermione said, "It'll be fine. Let the children play." She turned to Lyra, Ara, and Gemini. "Girls, I want you to behave yourselves, do you understand? I can just imagine what kind of trouble the Weasley children get into."

"They're not so bad," Teddy said coming into the room. Victorie smiled widely at him and ran to hug him but he pushed past her and grabbed Ara, hugging her tightly. Ara squealed and giggled as he swung her.

"Put me down," Ara said laughingly.

"We'll leave you alone," Hermione said, grabbing her husband's arm and pulling him out of the room, following Andromeda. Draco tried to protest, watching his daughter with Teddy, but Hermione kept pulling him away. "They'll be fine," she whispered.

"I don't trust him, did you see the way he swung her?"

"Draco they're kids! She's eleven years old, and he's thirteen. What could they possibly do?"

"You're so naïve," Draco grumbled.

"Nothing goes on in this house without my knowledge," Andromeda said, "Trust me, they won't do anything. Beside's, with the younger ones around they wouldn't get a chance to."

"Just relax and let's have a cup of tea." Hermione said. "And trust your daughter to take care of herself."

As they walked towards the kitchen, the door bell sounded and Andromeda turned to answer it. Hermione could hear voices as they waited for her, not knowing which way the kitchen was.

"I know I just saw him last night, but James was asking and we were close by so I figured why not."

"I don't know, it's not a good time," Andromeda whispered.

"Please," A young boy's voice pleaded.

"What harm could they do? Molly told me Bill's kids are here, Al just wants to see his cousins."

"I don't know," Andromeda said sighing and looking back at Hermione and Draco.

Hermione suddenly had a feeling she knew who was at the door and she sighed, "Just let them in, don't mind us."

"Alright," Andromeda said opening the door further to reveal Harry Potter and his oldest child.

"Bloody Hell," Draco grumbled.

A/N: So here's your typical Weekend Update! This was a set up chapter to the next one, which I hope you all will enjoy! I also hope you all enjoyed this one!

Please leave a review letting me know!

Sidenote: does anyone enjoy reading original fiction? I've posted a story on fictionpress under the name of vkarkheck that I wrote for NaNoWriMo last year (National Novel Writing Month for those who don't know what NaNoWriMo is) and since I've decided to share it, there hasn't been much views and no reviews yet, or followers or anything, and I'm a little disappointed because I worked my ass off for that story and am quite proud of it! The story is called "On The Horizion" and it does contain adult themes such as language, rape, and abuse so if you are sensitive to such subjects don't read it, but if you aren't then please go check it out! I would be forever in your debt :)

Aright, enough self promoting... please review!
