The Potter's, Black's and Longbottom's along with Remus went in. They saw Balloons everywhere.
They saw Lyanna coming to greet them. "Andy, Eve, Orion, Walburga and Augusta. How lovely to see you all." She said.
Andrew and Orion kissed her hand while the ladies hugged. After which Andrew said," This Lyanna, is my son James, his wife Lily, our other son Remus and those are Orion's kids Sirius, his twin Jennifer and their brother Regulus along with Sirius's fiancée Elizabeth. Then is Augusta's son Frank and his wife Alice and their son Neville." They exchanged greetings after which Lyanna asked," Andy where is Harry?." Lily who was holding him passed him to Lyanna. Dark black eyes looked into emerald green ones and as she pulled away from his captivating eyes,he smirked at her. "Good Merlin. He's got the Potter family smirk pat down." Said Lyanna. Just then they heard huffs from behind them. All turned to see Abraxas, Lucius and Narcissa who was holding Draco.
"Sorry we're late. Someone kept us waiting." Said Abraxas fake glaring at Draco. Andrew, James, Sirius, Regulus and Orion laughed outrightly while the rest tried to turn their laughter into coughs. "The main thing is that you're here Abraxas. That's what matters."said Lyanna soothingly. Just then Max popped in and said," Mistress Lyanna the play area is set up for the babies. Nodding, Lyanna said," Get Daisy and Rose over here to take Harry, Draco and Neville." Just then the Weasley's and Lovegood's arrived. "Sorry we're late," said Arthur Weasley cheerfully. Molly Weasley was holding the latest addition to the Family Baby Ginny Weasley while Bill their eldest son was holding 1 year old Ronald. Charlie, Percy and the Twins Fred and George were standing shyly around Molly.
Xenophilus and his Wife Pandora Lovegood were holding their twin daughters Luna and
Star. Both the Lovegood girls had blonde hair, blue eyes and looked so adorable. "Max. Call Daisy, Rise, Rose and Tulip to get the kids." Said Lyanna.
"Yes Mistress." Said Max and popped away. He returned a few seconds later with the said house elves and they took the kids away.
The elves lead the kids to a play area which was designed specifically for them. At one end sat Hermione and Daphne. While the head Greengrass house elf Moana was supervising. "Here are the babies Mum." Said Max. "Thank You Dear. Why don't you and the others go and do your work. I'll handle them little Lords and Ladies. I'll call if the need arises." " Okay Mother," said Daisy as they popped away.
Moana turned to see all the babies playing. She saw Harry crawling towards Hermione, Star crawling towards Neville while Daphne and Fred were playing together, Draco, Ron and Luna were making a sandcastle while Bill and Charlie were making faces at baby Ginny and George was laughing at them.
After a while Draco waddled over to Bill and Charlie. He looked down at Ginny and made hands at Charlie. Charlie picked up Draco and he then touched Ginny's face. As soon as that happened they were surrounded by a glow. Not just them but also Neville and Star, Ron and Luna and Fred and Daphne. Moana called for Max and told him to get the adults.
The adults came running in just in time to see the golden glow fade. Bill and Charlie started crying. Molly and Lily picked them up and started consoling them. "Bill dear it was not your fault." Said Molly cooing to him. "But.. but baby sister started crying." He said between sobs. "It was nothing Bill. Nothing. Just some shared magic between them." Said Molly. While Charlie, between sobs, asked,"Weally?" "Really dear. Don't worry about it. I'm sure it'll happen with you too." Consoled Lily. " Tank you Aunt Lil." Said Charlie, sniffing. Both women smiled at each other. And Lyanna said," Let's go and have dinner."
They went to the big tent which was set up for dinner and had their pick of food. After which they had dessert. Lyanna was talking to the elders while Dionysus, Jean, Tyrion and Jennifer were talking to the young adults about the soul bonds. After which as the guests were leaving the young adults made plans for play dates for their children. Everyone went back home and straightway fell asleep.
The next morning when Eveline woke up as usual she went to check on Harry. She entered his room and almost screamed. Sleeping with Harry in his bed was a snake.
She quickly and quietly tried to leave the room but she bumped into Lily. Lily said," Mum whatever is the matter?" "Lily dear, do you have your wand on you?" " No mum. What happened?" "Don't scream dear. But our Harry had a visitor in the night and he forgot to leave." "Whatever do you mean mum?" "Just peak inside the room and don't scream." Lily did as she was told and backed out fast. "Mum there's a snake in Harry's room." Said Lily. Just then both the women heard Harry wake up. And they entered his room. "Mumma, Gamma. This my fied Emeral." Said Harry. "Oh Sweet Merlin." Thought both the women. They were surprised to see the snake bow to them. And hiss something to Harry. And even more surprised to see Harry hiss something back to the snake.
Just the James waltzed into the room. And gave his mom a kiss on the cheek and smooched his wife before turning to his son and giving out a very girly scream. "Dada this my fied Emeral." Said Harry. "Lily dear why is there a snake in Harry's room? And why is he calling the snake his friend?" Whispered James. "I have no clue James. The snake came in the night. Mum saw her this morning." Whispered Lily back. Eveline meanwhile had gotten her wand and muttered a spell after which a white light left her wand and went to the snake and returned to her after scanning it. Eveline tapped it against a parchment and sighed in relief. "Don't worry you two. The snake is not dangerous. It is Harry's familiar." She showed both the parchment and they saw the snake's origins and also it's bonds. Both sighed in relief. "I guess we need to get snake food for her." Said Lily. "James send a patronus to Sirius and tell him to get snake food while coming."said Eveline. "What is this I'm hearing about a snake?"asked Andrew yawning behind them. "Gampa, this my fied Emeral." Said Harry who was playing with Emerald. "That's Emerald. Harry's familiar." Said Eveline. "Okay. James have you sent the patronus to Sirius?" Asked Andrew.
"Expecto Patronum"said James and his stag came out of his wand. "Go to Padfoot and tell him to get snake food while coming. Tell him I'll explain everything when he gets here." The stag nodded and disappeared.
After some time Sirius came through the floo confused. He'd gotten the snake food as asked but was confused to the fact as to why it was needed. He saw the entire family sitting in the living room as Harry played with something green. As he saw what Harry was playing with, he said,"Prongs, Moony why is Harry playing with a snake?" All turned at Sirius's voice and James said," Oh hey Pads. Did you get the snake food?" "Yes. But you didn't answer me. Why is Harry playing with a snake." "That's his familiar Sirius."said Eveline. "Her name's Emerald and she's Harry's fied."said Remus. "What does that mean?" Asked Sirius pale faced. "Her name is Emerald and she's Harry's friend, Paddington."said Lily.
"Oh ok. As long as you lot are okay with it." Said Sirius as he sat down and handed the food to James. Just then the floo network activated and in stepped Jean and Hermione. Jean took one look at the snake and she screamed. Everyone turned to her. "There's a... There's a snake in Harry's hand."she stuttered. "Hey Jean. That's Emerald. She's Harry's friend. Or his Familiar if you want to get technical." Hermione meanwhile had crawled over to Harry and Emerald and was playing with them. "Mione. This my fied Emeral." Said Harry proudly. "Hi Emeral." Said Hermione. "Aww." Said everyone.
After an hour of playing with Emerald, the Greengrasses left with promises to return in the evening. Since it was a Sunday everyone lazed around. After lunch Sirius left to take Elizabeth to the healer, for her checkup. While the rest went to their rooms to rest. The evening saw Potter Manor bustling with activity. The Malfoy's, Longbottom's, Black's, Weasley's , Lovegood's and the Greengrass's had come to spend the evening at the Manor. And Emerald made friends with every kid once they got over the fear of her being a snake. As Lyanna, Abraxas and Eveline came to check on the kids, they heard Hermione hissing something to Emerald and Lyanna looked at Eveline in shock. "Soul Bond." Said Eveline. She nodded in understanding and they left the kids under the watchful eyes of Rio and Rionna, the Potter Family elves. As it started becoming late, everyone after dinner took their leave.
