Chapter Six; A Familiar Stranger

Sorry I didn't post anything yesterday, I had a pretty busy day and I just got engaged so I was so happy celebrating that with my fiancée! Anyway as promised here is the next chapter where Alvin and The Chipmunks get introduced into the Harry Potter universe!

Hermione and Ginny walked over to the table to join everyone else. Sheela just sat there watching the other kids running around and leaping inside the silly spelling bouncing balls where it would spell out your name as you entered it and anything else you told it to and sliding down the slides, climbing the towers, and riding on the baby dragon ride which was very similar to a pony ride in the muggle world. "Ron, I thought I told you to make sure that Sheela had her lunch." Hermione said.

"I know, but she won't listen to me!" Ron exclaimed in protest.

"Well then, as her father it is your job to make her listen." She told him.

"Alright then you do it if you're so clever." He began. "Go on." He coaxed.

"Fine, I will." Hermione said before she walked over to her daughter and bent down to her level. "Sheela, I want you to eat at least a little bit of your pizza." She told her.

"No!" she shouted as she stuck out her tongue and blew spit into the air.

"See." Ron told her but Hermione simply ignored him.

"Sheela, if you don't listen to Mummy and have at least three bites then you're not going to be allowed to have any cake and ice cream with the other kids. You don't want that do you?" she questioned.

"No." she answered sadly.

"Then go ahead and eat some of your pizza." She told her as Sheela obeyed her and picked up her slice of pizza and took a bite. "Good girl, now you have to have at least two more but you can eat as much as you want." Hermione explained before she bent down over her and kissed the top of her head. "See, it's just as easy as that. Now you make sure that she at least has two more bites while I go get ready to perform with the other girls." She told her husband before she turned around and walked away.

"Wow, she makes it seem so easy and makes me look stupid." Ron told Harry.

"Well I'm sure she didn't mean to." Harry said as the little girl continued to eat.

"It's not my fault that I'm not as much of an expert as Hermione is when it comes to parenting. I'm a guy! Besides I didn't watch all those Supernanny shows like she did. I mean those kids make Sheela look like a perfect little angel." Ron said.

That's when all of a sudden Amber rushed over to Aaron. "Aaron, something's wrong with Hermione, I think she's going into labor." She explained when suddenly Ron spit out his pumpkin juice making his daughter squeal with laughter.

"Now!?" he exclaimed.

"Well she's having contractions. I think you better get her to the wizarding hospital. She told us that we can continue and perform without her." She said.

"But what about Sheela?" Ron wondered.

"Well I'll watch her for you." Justin began. "After all I've had three daughters of my own so I pretty much know what I'm doing." He said before Ron stood up and Justin took his place.

"Thanks Justin, I owe you one. You're a life saver!" he exclaimed before he ran away.

"I have to go potty." Sheela said after she was finished with her pizza.

"Well come on then since I have to clean you up anyway, I'll take you to the bathroom." Justin told her as she reached her arms up into the air and signaled to be picked up. "The only question is which one should I take her to?" he asked.

"Probably the men's because a male will feel a lot less threatened about a little girl entering their bathroom than a female would if you walked inside theirs." Harry told him.

"Good point." He said before he carried her away.

….

Ron clutched onto his wife's hand tightly. He felt terrible that he had to miss most of his daughter's birthday party, but right now he knew that he had to be here helping her. Hermione closed her eyes as the healer told her to push, and a few moments later she delivered a healthy baby boy. He had been screaming a lot louder than Sheela had when she was born and he was a whole lot smaller with a head full of bright red hair.

"Well it's easy to see that he's a Weasley already." Ron said as he cut the cord and then the healer wrapped him up inside a bright blue blanket and handed him over to his mother. Hermione felt as if she was having some Déjà vu as her newborn son wrapped his tiny fingers around hers and opened his bright blue eyes for the first time.

"Oh my God," Hermione began as tears of joy streamed down her cheeks. "he's so beautiful and he looks exactly like his sister." She said with a sniff as she bounced him gently up and down inside her arms. "Which means that he looks like you too." She added.

"Yeah, so, let's just cut right to the chase. What are we going to call him?" Ron wondered when suddenly Hermione's face lit up.

"That's it!" she exclaimed with a sudden burst of excitement. "That's a perfect name for him!" she cried but Ron just simply looked back behind him and then back at her.

"What is? What did I say?" he questioned as Hermione giggled.

"Chase silly! Let's call him Chase Thomas Weasley, and we can call him Tommy for a nickname." She explained.

"Hmm Chase Weasley, I suppose that'll do." He said before he sat down beside them on the bed.

"Do you want to hold him?" Hermione asked him.

"Yeah, sure, considering the fact that I sort of have this thing down by now." He answered as she passed him the tiny bundle and he scooped it up inside his arms. "Hey buddy," he began as he looked down at the tiny baby who looked back up at him. "As much as I love Sheela, I always wanted a son." He admitted. "Especially since you'll be able to carry on the Weasley name." he told him.

"I just feel bad that we had to leave her there." He said as he looked back over at his wife.

"I know, but it's not like she's alone. And I'll bet that she'll love to see her new baby brother when he comes home with us in a couple of days." She said.

"I'm not too sure about that. You know how she's going through a jealousy phase right now." Ron pointed out.

"Yeah that's true, it might take her some time but I'm sure she'll eventually come to love him." She said before she grabbed her cellphone off the nightstand and aimed it at Chase. "I know this will be a muggle picture but I left my camera back at Puff's and this was a present from my father. But at least everyone will get to see the new baby." She said as she snapped a picture of her son while he started to fall asleep inside his father's arms.

"Now I'll just text them his name and that we're both fine and he's perfectly healthy." She told him as she sent the text.

Meanwhile The Cheetah Girls had just got finished performing Cheetah Love when suddenly Ginny's cellphone buzzed. "Ah, that must be Hermione." She said.

"I didn't know you had a cellphone." Harry said.

"Yeah Hermione gave it to me." She told him.

"So did she have a boy or a girl?" Amber asked impatiently.

"A boy, and his name is Chase Thomas Weasley." Ginny answered before showing her friends the picture.

"Aww,.." they chorused together.

"He is so cute!" Amber squealed.

"Hey!" Aaron cried playfully.

"I mean for a baby." She told him before they exchanged grins and a passionate kiss on the lips.

"Did you hear that Rosie? You have a little brother, isn't that exciting?" Ginny questioned her.

"Big wow!" she exclaimed sarcastically with a roll of her eyes as everyone else around her laughed.

"Don't worry, I know it'll take some getting used to but eventually you'll find out that having a brother isn't so bad. Or maybe having a little cousin around as well." Ginny said as Harry stared at her blankly for a moment.

"What?" he asked as she quickly took ahold of his hand.

"Harry, I know this might come as a bit of shock to you, but I'm pregnant. Please don't be mad at me." She pleaded.

"I'm not mad," he began. "I am a little bit shocked like you said but I'm happy for you." He told her.

"Really?" she questioned him. "Because you really don't seem like it." She said.

"No, honest I'm fine. I just need a little fresh air." He told her before he turned around and walked towards the door while Ginny watched him as Amber summoned Sheela's birthday cake over to the table with her wand before they started to sing happy birthday to her.

Once Harry stepped outside the door he apparated to Godric's Park where he always had time to think whenever something was bothering him. I mean sure he wasn't lying about the fact that he was happy for his wife, but he was just too scared to admit about how nervous and scared he really was about becoming a father when he didn't even have one of his own. He wasn't sure whether or not he even knew how.

That's when all of a sudden he started walking along a path that led into the woods and felt an acorn hit him on the head. "Ouch!" he cried with a groan as he started to rub it when suddenly a chubby little chipmunk ran out onto a branch.

"Oops, I'm sorry sir. Are you alright?" he asked him as Harry stopped and looked at him with his mouth gaped wide open.

"That nut must have hit me harder than I thought. I could have sworn that you just said something." He said although he wasn't really sure why he was so surprised. He met a talking ant once before so why should a talking chipmunk be any different.

That's when the chipmunk caught a glimpse of his lightning bolt scar. "Oh my gosh! I know who you are! You're Harry Potter!" he cried.

"I can't believe that I'm so famous even chipmunks know who I am." Harry began. "Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to play along since I'm probably dreaming this anyway. Do you have a name, or are you just a talking chipmunk?" he asked him.

"Of course I have a name, my name's Theodore, but you can call me Theo. My brothers do." He told him.

"Well who are your brothers?" Harry asked him.

"Alvin and Simon. They're not here right now though. They're with some lady who feeds them in the park. She looks a lot like you." He explained.

"Well then why didn't you go with them?" Harry wondered.

"I have to gather nuts for winter. It was nice meeting you though!" Theodore said before he scurried back inside the hole of the tree. Harry continued on his way as he finished walking through the woods. Sure enough there was a young woman although she looked quite a bit older than Harry and had the same colored hair and the same colored eyes.

The only things that were different about her is that she didn't wear any glasses and she didn't have a scar on her forehead. Besides the fact that she was a woman, Harry realized it was as if he was looking at a reflected image of himself although the woman had long and straight black hair that wasn't untidy. She sat upon a bench feeding a couple more skinnier chipmunks that Harry had believed to be the two brothers that Theodore had been talking about.

"There you go fellows." She said in a very familiar voice as she fed them the breadcrumbs before glancing up in Harry's direction. Her jaw became locked tightly shut as she just simply stared at him for what seemed like forever before standing up and gaping her mouth back open. "Harry?" she questioned. "Is it really you?" she wondered.

Harry had no idea who this girl was and even though he wasn't surprised that she knew his name, he had no clue why she was acting like she knew him. "Uh, yeah," he answered not knowing what else to say to this pretty lady.

"Oh my God," she began with a gasp before clasping her hands over her mouth and then rushing towards him and flinging her arms around his neck and hugging him tightly. "I thought that I would never see you again!" she exclaimed as she broke out into sobs. Harry didn't know what to say. He wanted to comfort her but he still didn't know why she was acting like that.

"Uh excuse me," he began. "but are you alright?" he asked her when suddenly she let go of him and gave a sniff before brushing away her tears.

"I'm sorry. I should have known. I haven't seen you since you were a year old so even though I remember you I should have known that you wouldn't remember me." She said.

"Have we met before?" Harry questioned her with astonishment.

"Yes we have actually. That was a really long time ago though. Like I said, you were just a baby. I was always jealous of you ever since you came home from the hospital, but you were so adorable that I just couldn't help falling in love with you. Mum always said that you were lucky to have such a great big sister looking out for you since I was very protective of you." She told him.

Harry was speechless because he wasn't sure that he had heard her right. "Harry," she began as she took ahold of her hand. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is April May Potter." She told him.

"What?" he questioned anxiously.

"I'm your sister."
