・The Nurturing Dad™

・Always makes sure the baby has everything it wants and needs (always goes over the top.)

“Harry she already has everything. Just sit down!”

“But maybe she wants more binkies? Or another teddy? Babies love teddies-”

・Because he was given very little in his childhood, Harry unconsciously experiences that type of love through his daughter

・You had to point it out to him a few days before her first birthday. Harry was going OVERBOARD.

“She won’t remember Harry, it’s okay.”

“I don’t care if she doesn’t remember. She deserves it anyway.”

・He hates hearing her cry. The Dursleys used to let him cry and cry when he was younger. So his baby self realised no one was coming when he cried - so he stopped

・So, he never wants that to happen to his baby girl.

・Bought her a broom for her third birthday. It was only a toy one, barely hovering more than four feet in the air. But your little one loved it

・Molly and Arthur are referred to as Nanny and Poppy. Harry’s smile was ear to ear when Molly told him they wanted to be called that

“You’re our son, Harry.”

・Harry gets up in the middle of the night to check on her. He just loves looking at her in the doorway

𝐑𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐲

・The Interactive Dad™

・The first time you got pregnant, you were only expecting ONE baby. But lo-and-behold, two heartbeats were found on the monitor.

・Ron nearly fainted

・Molly cried when you told her the news

・Ginny was ecstatic! So eager to be an Aunt. George was a bit hesitant, as well as distant when you told him. He didn’t want to be around the babies because he thought he’d give them some sort of darkness.

・But as soon as they were born, George was in love with them and with being an Uncle.

・When you were in the hospital bed, exhausted but content, the Weasley’s found their way to your suite and Ginny was holding balloons

・ Molly cried again

・They two babies, a girl and a boy, had freckles but only one had red hair

・When George sat down and was given both babies to hold, you could see the change in him.

“He...he looks like Fred.”

“We know. His names Fred, and the other is Georgina.”

・During the birth, Ron was there the whole time. From beginning to end. He told you to squeeze his hand as much as you needed to

・Is a stay-at-home dad. When you go to work, Ron has the twins strapped to his front and back.

“Look who’s home!” He calls from the kitchen. The place is pretty messy, but he’s started on dinner.

・The twins wear the beanies, scarves and jumpers that Nana Molly has knitted for them

・Georgina has a thing with biting though, and the first time she bit Ron he was ... kinda impressed

“Honey at least we know she can defend herself-”

𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦

・The Thoughtful & Affectionate Dad™

・His child is the light of his life. You couldn’t find a better father.

・He’s patient, caring, level-headed and loving.

・Makes the baby’s food, does bath time and changes nappies (probably changed more than you have. He always says “You carried him for nine months, ripped parts of yourself to birth him. The least I can do is change his nappies.)

・He remembers your little boy’s favourite toy, colour, food and place.

・Neville has a hard time leaving your son with anyone, or going somewhere else without him. He constantly sends messages and writes down detailed instructions on how to look after your baby

・Takes as many photos of your son as possible. Has a whole book of them already

・Neville also shows anyone/everyone the photo he keeps in his pocket of you two. It’s of the first Christmas you had in your own home with your firstborn

・Isn’t afraid of showing your son affection. He’ll pepper kisses all over his face and it makes him giggle (the baby, well, Neville as well...)

・LOVES reading bedtime stories

𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐮𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐧

・The Providing Dad™

・You’re either a working mum or stay at home mum. Seamus is out during the week, working for the ministry

・He felt really bad in the beginning because your son wouldn’t recognise him. The hours were long, especially because the ministry was working overtime, trying to get the Wizarding World back into shape

・But with consistency, and patience, Seamus bonded with his son so strongly

・Seamus makes everyone feel safe at home. He locks all the doors and windows, and can be relied on for backup whenever it’s wanted

・Did your son inherit the blowing things up gene? To your utter dismay. Yes.

・Was a bit defensive when your son liked ‘girly’ things, but you explained gender norms and expression. When he saw how much your son found joy in dressing up or playing with dolls, he came round

・You dress your son in matching outfits with Seamus. You do it without telling him and see how long it takes for him to notice (he hasn’t noticed yet)

𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐬

・The Cool Dad™

・Everyone wants to come around to your house because Dean is so friendly

・Dean actually loves going shopping for your daughter. He loves the little outfits, the pink onesies and tutus with matching fairy wings.

・He’s great with sleepovers. They drive you insane, but he handles chaos so easily

・You asked him about it one day.

“How do you handle it, Dean? They’re so loud when they’re together! There’s so much mess too. God, I don’t want to ruin their fun but it’s driving me crazy!”

“I know, it’s okay sweetheart. I guess it doesn’t bother me because it doesn’t matter. And the mess, the noise, it’s all caused because they’re having fun.”

“You have a point. But you keep your calm with everything!”

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but it doesn’t matter. Nothing matters. The battle at Hogwarts changed me. Life is so fragile. Anything can mean nothing and everything - you just have to decide what’s important and what isn’t.”

・Uses your daughter to flirt with you. He’ll send her in with a bunch of roses and says “these are from daddy” but she gets bored with it and drops them on the floor

・DEFINITELY plays dress up and has a favourite princess crown

If there was one major plot element that you could change in the original canon what would it be?

The Marauders' deaths. With the exception of James, I don't think any of the Marauders die in a way that's narratively suitable — or, to be more particular, they die in a way suitable for a narrative I don't like very much. James is an acceptable (though, obviously, tragic) death to me because it completes his arc: he's an obnoxious, arrogant bully who grows into a selfless soldier on the side of the light, and lays down his life as a final gesture of abnegation. It's not Proust, but it's good, right? His death represents a symbolic triumph over Voldemort because it's something Voldemort would never do.

None of the others make the same kind of sense for their subplots. Sirius dies at the Ministry because Harry fucks up and lets his abandonment issues override his judgment, and while that's a compelling moment for Harry — whose hamartia is a trauma-forged combination of hot-headedness and desperate fear of losing people — it's not for Sirius. Sirius's problem in Book 5 is that he's emotionally stunted by his years of imprisonment and refuses to grow up, because he's clinging to the life he thinks — rightly — he should have gotten to have. This is made painfully clear in the Department of Mysteries, wherein some of his last words to Harry are "Nice one, James!" He refuses to treat Harry like the child he is, and he keeps acting like he's this fun-uncle type, blowing off rules and pissing off Mom (Molly), because that's the dynamic he should have had with Harry if Lily and James had lived. Sirius doesn't want to be Harry's guardian and role model. He wants a brother and a nephew, and he's trying to force Harry to be both, because he's all he has left of that family. His death doesn't tie any of those threads; they're left dangling. That's a valid narrative move — every death cuts a story short, and you can't give everybody an arc — but I loved Sirius. Giving Harry the "grieving loss of a parent" arc that was originally meant for Ron (Arthur was the original Big Death of the OOTP, in JKR's drafts) also means that Ron spends a lot of Book 6 without anything to do, whereas Harry goes through what's essentially a more intense version of the grieving-and-recovery arc he did after Cedric's death.

Remus, on the other hand, is just — first off, a Mess, I agree with so few of the choices made with Remus in the later books, but let's say he's deep in the trauma, the grieving, and whatever living among werewolves as a spy does for your mental health. So he gets into this will-they-won't-they with Tonks, gets married, tries to abandon pregnant wife, then goes back and gets to be with his wife and son for about half a year before dying, with said wife, in battle. Okay. So like:

I think the Remus Weirdness in Book 7 is actually an attempt to close a plot hole, which is that the Horcrux Hunt happens completely without adult supervision, despite the fact that there are lots of adults the Golden Trio could and should ask for help. Harry's insistence that he doesn't want to risk anyone's life except for Ron and Hermione's is, while understandable as a character move, utterly ridiculous, because the other Order members are risking their lives anyway. One of the biggest holes is Remus and Tonks, who are (a) both already targets for Voldemort because of who they are, and so have nothing to lose, but also (b) both care for Harry on a personal level, and would never accept his reasons for pushing them away. So Teddy Lupin is conceived in order to bench Tonks, who's safely out of commission while pregnant. But that leaves Remus, who probably in fact would have super complicated torn-loyalty feelings about the situation, and who is scarred and traumatized and probably has enough abandonment issues to try and walk out, but — in my view — never resolves any of those things. He doesn't suddenly realize that he loves Tonks and wants to be with her, or feel a sense of duty to his son; when Harry's justly furious at Remus abandoning his kid in Harry's name, Remus gets pissy about it and goes "well, if you don't want my help, fine," and leaves. Which is, again, fine, a character flaw, it's childish, he's allowed to be, and he is, in fact, similar to Sirius and James — but it left a bad taste in my mouth, because that's one of the last conversations we get with Remus, and it's such an impoverished vision of his bonds with others. It doesn't delve deeply into why he loves Tonks or Harry, or the substance of his conflict between them; like always with the Marauders, he just invokes James, and Harry throws James's name right back at him, and it ends there.

And then he dies, so that baby Teddy Lupin can be an orphan, and we can do a parallel to baby Harry Potter. Even though we don't see Teddy Lupin on the page ever, so we have no idea what that comparison means, or how their experiences compliment or contrast one another, or literally anything more substantive than the series beginning and ending on the same event. Which: great. Okay. To quote a Roger Ebert review that I think about, on average, once every thirty-six hours:

"J.K. Rowling has learned from better novels that authors sometimes create narrative parallels, but she has not learned why."

Nicknames

James - When he was younger he either got called James or sometimes Jamie by his family. Once he started Hogwarts he wanted to try and separate himself from his grandfather and preferred to be called Jimmy/ Jamie or Jay.

Albus - Albus actually preferred to be called Albus but everyone usually ignored his preference and calls him Al anyway. Some of his closer friends and family call him Albie, which again, he hates.

Lily - She usually went by Lily or Lils but Harry called her Lily-Lou which she pretended to hate but secretly liked even though Teddy, James and Albus would tease her for it.

Teddy - Teddy’s a nickname anyway but some people would call him Ted and James called him Tedward from time to time. Only his Nan would ever call him Edward and that was when he was in serious trouble.

Victoire - She preferred Vic, hated Vicky and could just about deal with Toy (Dom and Louis and most of the other cousins couldn’t pronounce Victoire when they were little).

Dominique- Went by Dom since they started Hogwarts. They hated Dominique and it was very rare someone would use their full name but god help them if they did.

Louis - Didn’t mind Louis or Lou. Would hate it when people pronounced his name as “Lewis” but he would never correct them either so.

Rose - Her name is Rose and that’s that. She doesn’t like nicknames but just about allows Rosie by some of her family (her parents, grandparents and aunties and uncles).

Hugo - Honestly, he’ll answer to any Weasley name. He looks the most typically “Weasley” out of everyone so Ron, Charlie, Bill, Percy, Fred, George and sometimes even Ginny have all been used at one point or another by professors at Hogwarts. He’s just used to it by now.

Roxanne - Preferred to be called Rox or Roxie but she was quite easy going about it.

Fred - People usually called him Freddie, which he was cool with. Unlike some of his cousins, he loved being named after a family member, especially Fred. He knew how much it meant to his dad and he felt honoured to have Fred’s name.

Molly - Hated being called anything other than Molly but on the rare occasion someone called her Mol or Mols she would be quick to correct them. She did ease up on it the older she got though.

Lucy - Most of her friends and family called her Lu but she didn’t care if you called her Lucy or Lou. Just please don’t call her Lulu because that is foul.

Scorpius - He doesn’t like his name to be honest. He prefers to be called Scorp because at least it’s a bit shorter. Also hates it when people call him Malfoy.

Alice - Most people called her Ali and she hated it, but she would never correct them when she was younger. Once she was older and learnt to speak up people quickly started calling her Alice again.

Frank - Usually just got called Frank. Alice and some of his close friends called him Frankie but he didn’t mind.

Teddy growing up chasing after a whole cast of uncles and aunts and Zizis or whatever they wish. Who learns how to mimic engines first so that Papa cries tears of joy. Teddy who grows up with a smile on his face and loved (so loved).

Izuku, Ochako and Ginny speaking out about 'mis matched' marks, who speak of their soulmates and think of the children they had been before society broke them. The three slowly finding love among others, able to be more.

Minerva and Nezu being a terrifying duo, both teaching and helping children. Minerva happily becoming a vice principal in a situation where she is not led by her nose and is an equal. Who stares down All Might and sees a fun mirror twisted. A boy mad to fight a monster, who broke years ago. All Might is on the edge of being the man she once saw as mentor and friend. Perhaps offering a hand to help will stop him from becoming the next Dumbledore, help him realize where he is going wrong.

The Weasleys taking in the Todoroki family. Touya with a snug sweater that is comfortable on his scars, Shouto with a dual tone because he's loved it for his mother's soft smiles, Fuyumi with one that is some gaudy shade she never got to wear, Natsuo with one made just as good as the others (not worthless, not a freak for being Quirkless).

Tenya and Harry worried the first time they go out without Teddy, the boy taken care of by Hizashi and Shouta (never together, Shouta who is engaged to someone else but they're Shouta and Hizashi who are together as platonically as possible). Harry who gets to laugh and go on a date with a boy like any other teenager.

Teddy who grows up loved and protected. Who gets to have a childhood with his father laughing in the kitchen and his Papa fussing over his bentos to make sure they’re just right. Who doesn’t have to wonder like his parents did what it’s like to be loved because he feels it every day in a million ways from a million sources. Who knows both his Dad and Papa and his birth parents through stories and pictures from the people who loved them.

The three of the and Rei starting a nonprofit to help victims of domestic violence because no one wants to get in the middle of a “soulmate dispute” no matter how bad it might get. All of them advocating that having a mark doesn’t mean you have to be with that person. That choosing to walk away doesn’t make you weak or broken. That even fate can get it wrong sometimes.

Minerva taking All Might under her wing the minute she sees his interest in Izuku and nipping any ideas of molding them for the greater good in the bud. Who steps in to protect a child like she should have done years ago. Like she should have done for so many children. She had loved Albus like she would have a brother or sometimes as one would love a God. She will die before she allows someone else like him around her cubs.

The Todorokis being reunited and enveloped in a massive family unlike anything they have ever known. So open and loving with no one walking in eggshells or afraid. No one sneers at Shouto when he flinches away from the floo, unable to stop the reaction to the feeling of heat even now, Luna only pulls him towards the back of the room as Percy conjures a cool breeze to go through the room. There is only good natured ribbing when Touya slips out of the room for a smoke and fond eye rolls when Fuyumi joins him in her burningly bright yellow sweater that looks like looking into the very sun. George joins them a little later, taking the cigarette and soaking in the familiarity of being around twins even if it still makes him ache to not have his own. Natsuo and Ron playfully griping about their siblings and getting playfully ribbed back. A part of them. Not two overlooked and forgotten middle children but two equal parts of something bigger.

Hizashi and Shouta who have always been two halves of the same soul even if their marks don’t reflect it. Even if there isn’t the smallest hint of romantic feelings between them. Shouta who is as much of a part of Harry and Teddy’s family as Hizashi is. Who is called Uncle with a smile. Who Harry and Tenya trust enough to leave him and Hizashi babysitting while they go out on a date even if both of them call a dozen times to “just check in”. Shouta whose mark is dark and angry on his skin and has been for the last couple of years. A mark that Harry had taken one look at before trying to offer Shouta a familiar leather jacket that smelled of smoke and oddly enough dog. He didn’t take it. His nephew needed the memory of Shouta’s soul mate more than he ever would. Besides he is happy in his own relationship soulmates or not. He does listen to Harry’s stories however and thinks he would have loved and been infuriated by Sirius Black in equal parts.

2nd May 2023 - St Mungo’s

@hinnymicrofic

Ginny had never been so happy to have a private room at St Mungos. Having a baby was hard enough in her opinion so the privacy was appreciated.

“Are you going to go and pick up Teddy so he can meet his baby brother?” Ginny asked, looking over at Harry who hadn’t put the baby down in the 6 hours since he had been born.

“Teddy is being spoiled by his Uncle Ron and Auntie Demelza, he won’t be interested in the baby,” Harry replied as he looked at his son “Besides, this little one needs a name before he can meet people.”

Ginny looked at Harry and the baby and sighed with happiness “I did think of a name but wanted to run it past you first.”

“Hmm,” Harry looked up to give Ginny his full attention.

“I was thinking Sirius, seeing as you were close before he died and he was family,” Ginny suggested.

“I was going to suggest James, after my dad so we were clearly thinking along similar lines,” Harry grinned at his wife.

“What about James Sirius?” Ginny suggested, hoping she hadn’t overstepped the mark.

“I love it. Professor McGonagall may not like it in eleven years time but I think it is perfect,” Harry smiled down at his son just as a knock sounded at the door.

“Come in,” Ginny called.

A few seconds later Teddy entered followed by Demelza and Ron.

“Sorry, Teddy really wanted to meet the baby,” Demelza apologised as she approached Ginny.

“It’s ok. Teddy, come and meet your baby brother, James,” Harry bent down so Teddy could see the new baby.

“Hello Jamie. I’m Teddy and I’m your big brother,” Teddy smiled down at James.

Harry stood up and told Teddy to sit next to Ginny on the bed, then he very carefully placed James into Teddy’s arms so he could hold him, whilst Ginny supported him.

“You’ve got an adorable family,” Ron whispered to Harry as he came to stand next to him.

Harry looked at his wife and his sons and nodded in agreement, the happiness filling a hole that had been there for so long.

birthdays, and how harry potter learns to love them.

a tiny fic for the birthday boy. slight warning for mentions of child neglect.

—

10 year old Harry hated birthdays. He got nothing, said nothing, and went on being ignored. Just like every other day of the year.

15 year old Harry hated birthdays. He got some letters from Ron, Hermione, Remus, and few others. However, he never had a birthday party, and definitely never got anything from his aunt and uncle.

18 year old Harry hated birthdays. The war had just ended, and he surely didn’t feel like celebrating. Sure, he got presents, and sure, he got more love than any birthday so far, but half of Hogwarts was dead. He felt the grief, and so did everyone else. How could he celebrate that?

20 year old Harry tolerated birthdays. He was an Auror trainee and had better things to do with his time. Like, for example, stare at Draco Malfoy’s ass while definitely paying attention in Criminal Restraint Methods 101.

22 year old Harry sort of liked birthdays. The war was just past 4 years ago, he had plans for a 3rd date with Draco Malfoy, he was an official Auror, and Ron and Hermione’s little Rosie was quite cute. He supposed birthdays weren’t the worst thing in the world.

25 year old Harry loves birthdays. He’s newly married to Draco Malfoy, talking about adopting a child, free his job as an Auror (finally!), and babysitting little Hugo on weekdays. He had pub nights with both Gryffindors and Slytherins. He played Quidditch with Teddy at least once a month. He truly relaxed for the first time in his life. This birthday, he sat on some island that Blaise owned and drank margaritas with his husband and Ron and Hermione and his friends. Harry didn’t know (and never would) but one quarter century ago, little baby Potter was discovering his own love for birthdays. His mother and father and Remus and Sirius were all there, so Harry was happy. And so, just like baby Harry, adult Harry sat with the people that he loved. And that was enough.

Harry Potter loved birthdays.

𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑩𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑴𝒆 28: 𝑯𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝑬𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔. {𝑻𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒔 + 𝑾𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝑩𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒘}

Word count: 0.9k+

There's more screenshots after the written part 😊.

You didn't know how you got to this point. One minute you and Jungwon were text arguing. Then he's getting in your face screaming and your screaming back.

And now you were kissing. It was wonderful and you didn't want to move away from his lips. You'd never been so consumed by a kiss before. All other kisses you've had paled in comparison to this kiss.

It was gentle yet so agressive. You didn't understand the contrasting movements but it fit so well with how you and Jungwon were.

Youre plan was to only move away when the need for oxygen became dire but that didn't happen. Instead you heard multiple screams.

Jungwon moved away from you so quickly, you almost thought someone had used accio on him to separate him from you.

Turning to the screams, you weren't expecting to see your professors, their families, the Weasley twins. Anyone you could count as family was there gaping at you.

It was lookin at them you realised that the screams were coming from little Teddy Lupin.

"Hey Teddy Bear, what are you screaming about?!" Opening your arms, for the boy to run into your arms.

Hugging you close, Teddy glared at Jungwon who had gotten close to you again.

"THIS DODOOHEAD IS STEALING YOU FROM ME.. IM THE ONE WHOSE IN LOVE WITH YOU" Teddy shouted, his pout and glare turned to Jungwon who looked at you in confusion.

Shaking your head, you laughed but that soon caused you pain, didn't help there was a child on your lap too.

Seeing your pain, Jungwon picked up the child glaring at him and headed him off to the closest adult to him. Who just happened to be Harry Potter. Teddy now crying, having realised he caused you pain was not having a good time.

"So any of our heads want to explain what we walked in on?" Sirius asked with a smirk on his face.

Before you could reply, Jungwon beat you to it.

"Mr Black I was kissing my girlfriend. A cassanova as yourself should know what that looks like" Jungwon said looking like the cat that caught the Canary.

Everyone looked at him in shock. You hadn't even processed the kiss yet and here you had Jungwon calling you his girlfriend. YN exe. Had stopped working.

"I don't think so Yang Jungwon. After everything you've put my daughter through, I do not approve of this" Uncle Ron said angrily. Glaring at Jungwon.

To his credit, Jungwon didn't even looked phased as 1/3 of the Golden Trio glared at him, a look that would have criminals quivering in fear.

"Respectfully Mr Weasley, I love YN and if things had gone my way, I would've introduced myself as YNs boyfriend in front of her family. However, I was rejected a few weeks ago but that doesn't change my feelings and I know for a fact that YN feels the same about me" Jungwon explained calmly. You looked at him in shock, he did not understand what he was saying. You didn't just hear him say that.

"Are you Fu- Fudging insane Wonnie. You wanted to tell my murderous bigoted family that your my boyfriend?! Do you have a death wish?! Merlin what is wrong with you?! You shouted at Jungwon. Which didn't shake him. He just smiled at you, kissing your forehead without a care of who was around.

He took your shoulders, making you face him, took your face in his hands gently, making you look at you.

"No death wish, I'm just truly, madly, deeply in love with you. I respected your rejection but after that kiss, you've got to be delusional if you think I'm letting you go Moon YN" Jungwon told you serenely, with a smile on his face.

Just seeing that smile, made you smile and you nodded your head. You'd had enough hurt to last 7 lifetimes. It was time to take this happiness and just love in the moment. Enjoy it.

"Okay, you didn't really ask but I'd love to be your girlfriend Yang Jungwon". You say smiling and leaning your head up to peck Jungwon's lips. That peck would've turned into more had someone not cleared their throat.

"As wonderful as this is. We have all gathered here for a reason other than making sure your alright Ynnie" Uncle Harry said, his ears slightly red after the emotional moment he'd just witnessed between you and Jungwon.

"Ah yes, the original reason we're here is to tell you that after literal years of fighting for you. I reign victorious in gaining custody of you. Welcome to the Black family my dear." Sirius said.

It took you a moment to process what Sirius had just said. You were a Black now? Without thinking you blurted out.

"I'm not changing my surname. I love being Moon YN" Your words caused everyone to laugh. Sirius looking at you with a fatherly fondness youd gotten used to seeing in his eyes.

"Well your not changing your surname to anything but Yang and I'm going to make sure of that Sunflower." Jungwon said calmly putting his arm around your shoulder like he hadnt just announced his intentions to marry you?!.

"Oi Yang, you don't even have our approval yet and your talking marriage? Slow down kiddo. Get the approval first and then we'll see" Sirius said jokingly. Amused by the shocked look on your face.

"Okay that is enough socialising for YN. All of you out of my Hospital Wing" Out of nowhere Healer Lovegood was there kicking everyone out. Jungwon kissed you and then kissed your forehead one last time before promising to come visit you again.

You couldn't help but smile to yourself. Maybe you could get your happy ending.

A/N: Hey all, here’s a tiny little James POV holiday snippet to say thank you for all the lovely reviews and likes. I didn’t want to post it at first because nothing really happens, but maybe some of you enjoy it nonetheless. I hope you’re all well and made it through the festive season unscathed :). Thanks for your support and love and general brilliance.

‘T I S T H E S E A S O N

I almost kissed her.

Shit.

I want to groan and bury my head in my hands, but I can’t, of course. Not with my entire family racketing around the table like they have all gone batshit and Celestina Warbeck crooning about cauldrons full of hot, strong love.

“We danced to this when we were young, Arthur. Do you remember?” Grandma says, like she does every year, and the smile she gives Grandpa, who is half-falling asleep at the table, also like every year, makes me want to hug both of them.

The kitchen in the Burrow is crammed. More than usual. The unshapely dining table is really just a collection of half a dozen haphazardly arranged smaller tables, covered with an oversized tablecloth, and I can feel an odd table leg digging into my shin.

It used to be bigger - it felt bigger. Now, I’m wedged in between Freddie and Teddy and, even though we all sit with our shoulders slightly hunched and our arms pressed to our sides, we can barely move without shoving each other.

I almost kissed her.

On the cold grounds in the snow with my heart slipping as it struggled to keep in time.

“Oi, Herbie!”

I snap my head up to see a black shape barrel across the table, recklessly knocking over glasses and candles before it leaps straight onto my lap.

Lilly’s arshole cat who hates everyone but me is nuzzling his fluffy head into my stomach, giving absolutely no shits about having just caused a minor fire in his wake. Uncle Ron puts it out with an overambitious Aguamenti charm that floods half the table, earning himself a round of applause from Dad and Uncle George while Aunt Hermionie is busy minimising the damage.

Celestina’s voice is still howling from Grandma’s ancient radio, the music seeping into the general din of conversations and laughter that fill the kitchen. But I know all the words by heart. I could sing You Charmed the Heart Right Out of Me with an entire bottle of firewhiskey in my system and not miss a line.

I almost kissed her.

I wanted to.

She was waiting for me in the hospital wing - in Hagrid’s awful plaid blanket and the too large wellies - and I let her go. Because I’m a fucking coward.

Gryffindor my arse.

“So, James.” Rose leans over Teddy, tucking her auburn hair behind her ears like she means business. “I’ve heard some wild things about you at Beaux.”

“You did?” I arch an eyebrow at her as Herbie curls up in my lap, his little paws playing with the hem of my jumper. It’s maroon, with a slightly wonky J across the front, and it matches my equally chunky socks. Grandma went all out this year.

“Yeah, are you actually failing Potions?”

I snort and shake my head because, of course, of all the rumours that could have reached her across the English Channel, Rose, the wonderful creature, is concerned about my abysmal grades.

“I’m not,” I say, even though that’s not entirely true. “Who the fuck told you that?”

“Don’t worry, Rosie.” Freddie digs his shoulder into my side as he leans in, looking entirely too happy with himself. “He’s got a brilliant tutor, don’t you Jamie?” He slaps my back and I want to kill him; just a little bit.

“Yeah.” I sigh and my mind slips back to that one moment when I realised just how fucked I really am; when I asked Seth about Potions and she told me about having to earn the magic and I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. “I do.”

Teen Parents Romione

Hermione gets pregnant December of ‘98

It’s an accident, she and Ron aren’t even really talking then

But as accidents happen, they learn and grow from the experience

Laurence “Laurie” Arthur Weasley is born August 16, 1999

He’s 14 weeks younger than his cousin Victoire

Laurie looks like Ron with Hermione’s coloring and nose

Ron and Hermione live together (with Harry) in a small two bedroom flat in a rundown building in London

Molly and Arthur, along with Javier and Jane Granger all want the pair of them to move in and live with them

But Ron and Hermione know they can make it work together (and with Harry)

Harry and Ginny are godparents, first (and always first) choice

Laurie loves Harry so much, and is the first to call him uncle of any Weasley grandchild

By the next summer, Harry had moved out and Laurie has been moved into his room

Hermione had let her career start off slow as Ron made more money as a Jr. Auror than she did clerking

But as Ron moves up in the ranks, Hermione slowly does too by making it clear she is smart, efficient, and effective when she is in the office or working on reports remotely

To the point that Laurie ends up becoming part of the MLE offices very quickly because they need Hermione THERE

He sleeps in a sling on Hermione’s chest while she takes notes or reads a verdict or even as she starts defending her cases to Wizengamot

He learns to crawl, walk, and run in the Aurors offices, chasing after Ron and Harry, or playing under the big table in the briefing room

After “mama” and “dada” his next words are “bloody hell, shit, fuck, no kid” all learned from the Aurors and said at the right moment

(His uncles find it very funny)

He’s very close to Victoire and Teddy, and even learns to play the piano to be part of their band

He is the one to ask Hermione to marry Ron “mummy will you please marry my daddy?”

Ron had it all planned to ask Hermione during George and Angelina’s wedding reception, but Laurie asked during the first dance

Can you blame him? He’s only three

He gets to ring bearer with Teddy at all the weddings, but his parents wedding is his favorite

He is one of the first people to meet James Sirius, along with Teddy the pair of them vow to always protect him

When Hermione tells her boys (Laurie, Ron, Harry) that she’s pregnant again, Laurie starts laughing with Ron and crying with Hermione, unable to tell if he should be happy or sad but feeling both big emotions

He doesn’t ever want to leave Hermione’s side as she gets bigger and bigger, getting him in trouble as he needs to go to school

Laurie doesn’t like school very much other than the social components and it turns out he has dyslexia

Ron finally has a name for his reading struggles and he puts so much energy into learning how to read with his son

When Rose is born he refuses to leave her side because she’s everything to him, and he loves his baby sister so much!

He helps Ron as much as a six year old is able to help when Ron steps down to part time to help care for baby Rose

Laurie only ever calls her Rosie

Then comes Hugo, very quickly after Rose, but just as wanted

Hermione had been very anxious while pregnant with Rose, it’s even worse with Hugo

She still gets put on early maternity leave and this time it’s harder to send Laurie to school because she just wants her children close to her at all times

Hugo is nearly six months old when Hermione goes back to the office, sometimes bringing along her two youngest like she once did with Laurie

Laurie is a great big brother, attentive and caring and playful, he’s creative and smart and tactical, bringing together Ron and Hermione’s best traits

He’s sorted into Ravenclaw at Hogwarts (with Victoire!)

He’s a little Hermione in his classes with Ron’s natural talent but very quickly learns that theory is still important and struggles through his readings with Victoire’s help

They keep each other accountable and Teddy is the one to come in and make them go outside and get in trouble and have fun

They are their own little trio of troublemakers and Professor McGonagall can’t help but have a soft spot for them 🥹

(Teddy is the Marauder’s kid, Laurie is the Weasley boy, and Victoire is very much trying and failing to reel them in while also laughing at them)

Laurie is so excited when James Sirius finally comes to Hogwarts (and cheers so loudly for his little Gryffindor cousin)

Laurie and Teddy write the first letter home telling Harry and Ginny about James’s first detention lol

The next year after Teddy’s graduated, Laurie becomes Head Boy and starts dating the Head Girl, Claudia Creevey

They always were aware of one another, Claudia is a photographer like her late father and Laurie does have a more artistic side and loves sketching/drawing people

Ron had the sex talk with Laurie while he was in puberty, but he makes it very clear that Laurie doesn’t want to be a teen parent and go through the struggles his parents went through

Laurie does make it out of Hogwarts with no pregnancies or kids

He moves in with Claudia and he supports them while she works on her photography and works part time in her family’s business

Laurie works in the Muggle liaison office while working on his art in his free time at home

The day he sells his first drawing, he quits his job and finally proposes to Claudia

They get their own happily ever after

#ron weasley #hermione granger #teen pregnancy #Laurie Weasley #Claudia’s middle name is Amy lol #harry potter #alternative universe #family #rose weasley #hugo weasley

Next Gen Headcanon Speedrun for the rest of the gang:

Victoire Gabrielle Delacour-Weasley | Gryffindor

Wand: rosewood and veela hair

Patronus: dragonfly

Profession: curse breaker

Bonus: inherited her mother's wand and is a huge mama's girl. The only sibling who doesn't have freckles. Initially, she did NOT want siblings as she was terrified of her parents forgetting about her, and she absolutely hated Dominique for the first few years. She warmed up to the idea of being a big sister when Louis was born though. Wicked smart, and she loves her work as a curse breaker. She also loves it because it's a great way for her to bond with Bill. She dated casually for a few years, her longest relationship being with Teddy, but found herself more invested in her work and decided to focus on that. Their breakup was cordial and mutual, and they're still close friends. She isn't extremely close to either of her siblings but does love them immensely.

————

Frederick Percy Weasley | Gryffindor

Wand: dogwood and billywig stinger

Patronus: basset hound

Professions: nightclub owner

Bonus: transmasc, named himself "Frederick Percy" after his godfather and late uncle. Used to fight with his father a lot as a teen and argued with Roxanne constantly, though his relationship with his younger sister improved greatly after graduating. Rox is the one who tattooed him after his top surgery scars healed. They're extremely close as adults. Dominique and Teddy were the ones who supported him the most through his transition. As a teenager he'd get into screaming matches with George and end them by leaving the house and going to Percy's until he'd calmed down. Percy was more than happy to accommodate him and be a safe space. Percy is the one who told him stories about Fred. Took a ton of odd jobs after school and saved up so he could buy his own property and open a club that catered to wizards and could be a safe space for socializing. It quickly becomes extremely popular.

————

Rose Minerva Granger-Weasley | Gryffindor

Wand: red oak and dragon heartstring

Patronus: field mouse

Profession: Ministry Worker - expert on human/animal spirits and non-human spiritous apparitions

Bonus: a daddy's girl, better wizards chess player than Ron. Doesn't approve of alternate magics like divination mostly because her mother doesn't like it. Once when Ron was drunk he told her how her mother had been tortured at Malfoy manor and how Draco once called her a mudblood, which is what began her seething resentment towards the Malfoys and Scorpius in particular. Does not approve of his friendship with Hugo or his relationship with Albus. Very stubborn and headstrong with excellent grades, though she isn't actually the biggest fan of studying. She desperately works for the best grades possible to make her parents proud. Has a somewhat strained relationship with her mother due to the fact she's always busy and working, and her father drinks liberally so it's difficult to talk to him. Unintentionally adopts her parents' traumas because she knows too much about them since drunk Ron talks a lot. It takes her a long time to shake out of it and come into her own person.

————

Hugo Arthur Granger-Weasley | Gryffindor

Wand: pear and dragon heartstring

Patronus: brown bear

Profession: herbologist

Bonus: gender fluid he/they, his grandfather Arthur's favorite grandson. Fred is his favorite cousin. Thinks Rose really needs to calm down. As an herbologist he often assists James and Scorpius in their individual work as both have careers that are heavily influenced by herbology. Straight up refuses to drink alcohol and will get angry if people try to peer pressure him into it. Consistently steals his sisters clothes, she puts up with it cuz that's her baby sibling, but she also tried to take him shopping for his own stuff. "I can just buy you a nice dress" "No I wanna wear yours :(" "so do i???".

———��

Molly Audrey "MJ" Weasley | Gryffindor

Wand: aspen and dragon heartstring

Patronus: lioness

Profession: quidditch keeper in the league

Bonus: the most Gryffindor-like out of all the next gen. Confident, reliable and outrageously courageous to the point of insanity. She's the one who brings home strays asking if they can keep them. Strays can range from kittens, to snakes, to boar piglets, to random homeless folks (she's the reason for all Percy's gray hairs). Played as a keeper on the house team but was also a reserve beater for emergencies. Admires the hell out of her older cousin Lily. Loves to go practice flying with her step-father (oliver wood, because I believe in a perciver future where percy and audrey divorce soon after lucy is born and he gets full custody).

————

Lucy Olivia Weasley | Gryffindor

Wand: hazel and unicorn hair

Patronus: hummingbird

Profession: healer

Bonus: got her middle name from oliver. a hat stall because the sorting hat couldn't decide whether to put her in gryffindor or hufflepuff. Put her in gryffindor because "well you are a weasley and ive always known where to put you". Teddy gave her one of his old scarves to wear after she asked because she insists she can be both! She'd help MJ nurse all the strays back to full health. If one of her fathers or sister got sick, she'd be the first to make tea and sit by their bedside until they were better. Wakes up before dawn without needing to set an alarm. Makes friendship bracelets for everyone in her family. Oliver never takes his off.

SNEAK PEEK -- Chapter 343 -- The One With the News

Remus had been quite the talk over the last two weeks. Not only was he one of the most well-liked teachers, but him bringing his newborn son in every day had definitely won some hearts. He had a sling he kept around his chest where he cradled Teddy while he taught for an hour or so every day. It gave Tonks the opportunity to shower and catch up on a few things before she settled back at home with the baby. And it gave Remus the opportunity to show off his beautiful son.

And best of all, it gave Harry the chance to spend more time with Teddy. He often spent his free periods, cradling Teddy in his arms while he watched Remus teach. This meant that he seemed to be getting a lot more attention from the witches as of late, but he was enjoying himself too much to care.

He found his father exactly where he expected to find him and closed the door to his classroom. Remus looked up, his hands full of parchment.

“Good morning, Harry. What do I owe this lovely surprise?”

“I got into the academy.”

Remus stared at him for ten full seconds before his face broke out into a grin. “Bloody hell! Of course you did! And Ron?”

“Yes.”

Remus pulled him into his arms for a tight hug. “I am so proud of you. I never had a doubt that you would get in, but my heart is just swelling with pride right now.” He kissed the top of his head and then hugged him again. “Gods, little Prongs, when did you grow up on me?”

“Around the time you taught me to swear.”

Remus laughed and cuffed him lightly across the head. “You’re a brat, do you know that?”

Harry grinned. “The boot camp starts in August so I just have to do well on my NEWTs and then I’m in.”

Remus cupped his face in his hands. “You can do that. You’re smart. You just need to buckle down and study. We both know that you’re intelligent enough to pull off top marks, Harry. You have to focus and stop letting yourself get so distracted.”

“I’m not distracted.”

Remus gave him a knowing look. “I know how easy it is to be distracted by a beautiful witch, Harry. Ginny is wonderful and she makes you so happy that I can’t help but smile when I look at the two of you. I understand why you two can’t keep your hands off of each other and as I was seventeen once, I know that you are probably hard ninety percent of the time. I get it,” he said as Harry blushed. “But you two need to focus on your studies and prepare for your futures. There will be plenty of time for all of the other stuff later.”

“Are you telling me to stop having sex?”

“No,” Remus said, his lips twitching. “Because you’d never listen and also because I would never say that; I’m simply saying, try not to let it distract you so much that you don’t focus.”

Harry grinned. “Right. So, I should only shag her two or three times a day.”

Remus chuckled. “Good grief, you two are even randier than I thought! Just focus, Harry. Study hard and you’ll do great.”

Harry nodded and hugged his father again just as the first few students started to trickle in. Remus kept his arms around Harry and when his class was full, he squeezed Harry’s shoulder.

“Class, I would like to share with you all that my son has just learned he’s been accepted into the Auror Academy of England and I am so bloody proud of him,” Remus exclaimed.

The group of third years clapped and Harry grinned.

“Thanks, Uncle Rem.”

Remus beamed. “Now, get to class.”

Harry hugged his father once more and hurried out of the room, a huge smile on his face. He and Ron were going to to be Aurors together. It was everything he’d ever imagined and the sudden thrill of his future coming together only further reminded him of the impending doom that Voldemort was still bringing.

Now he had to wait for the other shoe to drop.

DO you think harry and hermione can be best friends without ron? If not then why ?

Someone told me Hermione is better friend and much more loyal to Harry and after the war Harry will start appreciating Hermione more because she did not leave with ron in DH even though she was in love with ron. B

Can you please share your thoughts on this?

Oh, God, there are so many wrong things with this concept, I don't even know where to start.

Tell whoever told you this that as a professional I prescribe them to re-read the books.

If you guys need someone to hype up male-female friendships you've definitely come to the right gal. But Harry and Hermione are not the horse to run this race with.

Harry and Hermione canon friendship post-war

First of all, while I'm going to explain why the idea of Harry becoming closer to Hermione than Ron is absurd, I don't actually have to. I know that a lot of people aren't fond of the epilogue for reasons that I'm not sure I will ever understand seeing that it was the only logical way to end the series, but in that whole business at the platform, it's made abundantly clear who Harry is closer to between Ron and Hermione. Harry doesn't even talk with Hermione. And what happens in the epilogue is very significant because it's the only glimpse the author gives us into the future of these characters. Like Ginny comparing James to Ron is not just there as a casual sentence, the author wants us to understand that there are similarities between the two characters. The same goes for Teddy and Victoire who are meant as a clear parallel of Harry and Ginny. Or look how it's remarked once again the ability Ginny has of just getting Harry. Or Harry and Ginny working as a team with their children. Or Ron being the fun dad/uncle. So Harry and Hermione not talking to each other says a lot. I'm not claiming that they hate each other or anything like that. They are friends, legally speaking they are family. But personally, I've always been of the idea that if Hermione didn't marry Ron, she and Harry in ten years' time would've ended up in a birthday wishes/casual chats at the Ministry kind of relationship, and the epilogue screams that I'm right.

Harry forgiving Ron

Now we need to talk about this thing that Harry would hold against Ron his leaving in DH. It's not only incoherent with what actually happens in the seventh book when Ron does come back but the fact that this thing could ever cross someone's mind just shows that they don't know anything about Harry as a character.

Harry understands why Ron did what he did. Ron explains to him that he immediately wanted to come back after he left but he didn't know how, and Harry has no problem accepting it. And he understands even better Ron's emotional condition after seeing Ron's insecurities thanks to the Horcrux. That experience fortifies their friendship, it doesn't diminish it. After that scene, Ron becomes the third person Harry ever actively hugged in the entire saga along with Ginny and Molly.

There's only a person in the series Harry really understands and he's able to have emotional conversations with, and that's Ginny. He reflects on more than one occasion on her relationship with her brothers. Harry doesn't have that understanding of Ron, so the Horcrux is a way for Harry to grasp things of Ron's psyche that he would've never so fully understood otherwise.

Harry is happy that Ron is back, he never shows any resentment towards him, but he didn't show resentment even when he was gone. The first time he checks the map, before starting to use it just to see Ginny's dot, is to check if Ron is at Hogwarts, to see if he's somewhat safe, at least alive. He probably would've also found comfort in the idea that he was with Ginny.

All of this is to say that Harry never shows to hold what happened against Ron, and it would've been extremely out of character if he did. This is the same guy that called his son after Snape. As long as you do the right thing, stand up for what is right in the end, fight alongside him, and show braveness, you are good in Harry's book. Look at how he emphasizes to Hermione that Ron saved his life. When Harry talks with his son about Snape, what he remembers is his courage. [And Snape is indeed remarkably brave, and I say this as someone who wrote essays on how much Snape sucks.]

Ron is brave, ready to admit his faults, and has been loyal to Harry since they were eleven. And that for Mr. Chosen One is more than enough.

Is Hermione a better friend than Ron?

This idea that Hermione is a better friend or more loyal is quite farfetched.

Hermione is a better helper to a hero and in general a better soldier than Ron. This is true. She's more sure of herself than Ron, she's useful with her factual knowledge, and she is very determined and less likely to be driven by emotion, even if when she does she is no better than Ron, she's worse actually.

But she is not a better friend than Ron, not to Harry at least. And for the very simple fact that, as harsh as it may sound, Harry cares more about Ron. Harry has fun with Ron, he finds comradeship with him. They spend time together being actual friends, not being soldiers or study buddies. Harry would miss Ron more than Hermione and that's the only proof you need that for Harry, Ron is a more suited friend.

The relationship that Harry has with Hermione can't even be called friendship if we want to get technical. I've always believed that saying that they are siblings would be much more appropriate. Those kinds of siblings who care about each other but are aware that they wouldn't be friends if they weren't siblings. They went through a lot together, but they don't really like each other's personalities, for sure Harry isn't fond of Hermione's one.

There is a quote from HBP that I think is the perfect summary of Harry's view of Hermione:

Once or twice Harry considered asking for Hermione's help, but he did not think he could stand seeing the smug look on her face; he thought he caught it sometimes when Hermione spotted him staring at Ginny, or laughing at her jokes. -Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 24, JK Rowling

He recognizes that she is useful, she has a role in his life that it's important enough for him to think of her if he needs something, but he fundamentally doesn't like her general attitude and behavior and because of that he doesn't feel comfortable talking to her about personal emotional matters.

I don't think people realize that we don't even know the names of Hermione's parents, that seems to be a pretty good indicator of how close Harry and Hermione are when school and dark lords aren't involved.

And, as grateful as Harry might have been to her after the war, this is not something that would change. It would be kind of horrible actually. Imagine Harry feeling obliged to spend more time with Hermione out of some sense of debt.

Is Hermione more loyal than Ron?

As usual, I think the movies played a great role in this distortion. Because apparently everyone has forgotten what happened in PoA with the whole firebolt situation. Until Ron's departure in DH, Ron and Hermione were one on one with the score of periods in which they didn't talk to Harry.

It's also interesting to see how the PoA and the GoF situations occurred. Ron's one was a consequence of his own insecurities, Hermione did something behind Harry's back (she wasn't completely wrong, to be honest, but still...).

Hermione is very loyal to Harry, I'm in no way trying to deny that, but she isn't more loyal than Ron.

As far as DH is concerned, the Horcrux had more influence on Ron for his emotional problems, not because he is less loyal to Harry. Plus that fight is very complex, and Harry is not in his best emotional state too. Two seconds before he was on the verge of a panic attack at the idea of Ginny being hurt, and Ron yells at him that he doesn't care about her. And in general, in his rage, Ron was playing on Harry's insecurities about him not being a good leader, not doing enough, and having no results.

It's also easier to be more forgiving of Harry's shortcomings for Hermione because, as I said, she doesn't view him as a friend, but as a brother, specifically a younger brother. She sees Harry as someone she has to take care of, someone she's responsible for in a way. Ron, even if he does his fair share of Harry-parenting, views Harry as his friend, he has the expectations of a reciprocal relationship.

There's also another thing to consider, a lot of fights between Harry and Hermione during the years are avoided because of the simple fact that Harry usually prefers ignoring what Hermione says when he disagrees with her or he's annoyed by her. If Harry had not had the emotional and practical need of having close, loyal friends, his relationship with Hermione would have never lasted.

Conclusion

The whole hypothesis presented is quite absurd.

HJP Week 7 - Different Magic, Same Found Family

@harryjamespotterweek

Harry celebrates his birthday with his found family.

AO3

***

There weren’t many things that Harry would find himself surprised at, not after everything he’d been through throughout the years, but running into a different sort of magical problem than he’s used to was definitely surprising.

Even more surprising was falling in love with the delightful Emma Swan. Unfortunately, the magical problem that took Emma away from her parents could only be solved by leaving her once more alone and without them. He knows that she’s been taking it hard, but he’s hoping that showing her that a found family can be just as good as having her actually family by bringing her back to the UK and introducing her to his found family for his birthday.

Although, he’s a little nervous about it.

After the war, which stretched on far longer than it should have – there’d be many causalities and losses. Like Emma, he’d been basically a teen dad to his godson, Teddy, and while Henry had technically grown up in Storybrooke without Emma, they both had memories of her raising Henry as well.

And while he had the support of his friends, who had bandied together to fight the good fight, Emma had no one. In either the real life or the fake memories that had been given to her when the curse had been undone. She tended to be guarded, but Harry hoped building a life back in his home country would help her not be so alone.

So far, the first night back had seemingly gone well, and has they enjoy breakfast the day before his birthday, the floo lights and out pops Ron and George.

“Harry! You’re home!” Ron yells, gleefully, clapping a hand on his shoulder as George gives Teddy a hug. “We’ve missed you. Mum can’t wait to meet your new friends.” He turns to Emma, the blonde looking wearily at him. “Emma, right? I’m Ron.”

Emma gives his hand an uncertain look. “Yeah, uh, Emma, and my son, Henry.”

“Don’t worry, he won’t bite,” George teases. “We’re just excited. It’s been a while and Harry sounded so happy over the mirror, and the rebuilding has been difficult to say the least so… we just get a bit over-eager for happy moments.”

“You two could’ve waited more than twelve hours before visiting, you know,” Harry says, not at all worried about their over-eagerness. It was only natural. “That’s George, by the way. He and Ron are brothers, you’ll meet Ginny and Charlie, and their mum tomorrow at the party.”

“That’s all that’s left of the once big Weasley family,” George states. “But we’ve added new members like Harry, Hermione, Luna, Neville, Dean…”

“And of course, any kids, too,” Ron states. “Teddy’s my favorite nephew but shush don’t tell the others.” He gives Teddy a wink and a candy that immediately morphs him into a canary for a few seconds much to Henry’s shock and awe.

“Should’ve known better, Uncle Ron,” Teddy states, when he’s back to himself. “Don’t worry, you’ll learn quick not to accept food from these two,” he says to Henry.

“Magic is so interesting,” Henry states. “I used to dislike it and after everything… I could if it wasn’t for you guys showing me how cool it is.”

Harry smiles. “Magic can be a blessing and a curse. Teddy, why don’t you show Henry some of the cool stuff in your room.”

“Sure, Dad,” Teddy says, before grabbing Henry’s hand and leading him up the stairs.

Once they’re out of sight, Ron and George can’t wait to start talking to Emma. “We can’t wait for you to meet everyone tomorrow…”

“And just so you know, even if you and Harry don’t work out, you’re a part of our family now, too,” George offers.

“Yeah, we’ve had get togethers and break ups before, and it always works out,” Ron states. “Even if it can be awkward at times.”

Harry laughs, thinking of some of the more awkward moments between him and Dean since they both dated Ginny. “Once the Weasleys meet you – they’ve been known to adopt you.”

Emma smiles. “After everything that’s happened recently, that actually sounds pretty good.”

“Good, then, welcome to the family.”

***

Harry’s birthday couldn’t be going any better. Emma and Henry have been fully welcomed into their little found family – Henry is even learning quidditch with the other kids (as you don’t need magic to ride a broom) – and Emma looks quite happy chatting with Charlie despite his annoyance that she once killed a dragon.

“You look happy,” Ginny comments. “Emma seems great.”

Harry grins. “I am. Although I still want to help her get Storybrooke back, I’m happy that she seems to be blending into our little found family so well.”

“It helps, of course, that she already knew about magic – just a different kind of magic,” Hermione states, joining them. “Made it easy for her to accept.”

“Henry did a lot of that work for me because she was supposedly quite stubborn about it before we met,” Harry states. “But I can understand that – growing up not knowing about magic in that house, especially as an orphan... I was pretty skeptical. Until a half-giant knocked down my door and proved magic existed.”

Ginny and Hermione laugh. “I still can’t believe that’s how you found out.”

“And to think – it wasn’t even my nuttiest birthday,” Harry states, laughing. “Dobby took the cake for that with whatever his big idea was on my twelfth birthday.”

“At least now, all of your birthdays are much better.”

“Yes, a party with my found family is way better than a house-elf ruining my birthday,” Harry agrees. Then he lifts his glass, “And here’s to many more.”

“Cheers!”

Chapter 13

Immoral Dilemmas

Hermione had been the one to suggest getting phones as a way to contact and pinpoint each other when magic wasn’t an option. The ones with capability to talk had gotten the same kind of phone with different colored cases. Hailey had black, Hermione had blue, Ron had red, Moony went with amber yellow, and Tonks went with pink. Before leaving everyone made it clear to her that they wanted her to check in if any new occurrences happened. With Damon cornering her, her reunion with Stefan, and her having to separate the fight, she hadn’t any time to check in or think about checking in with Moony and everyone else. Despite him yelling out her name when she picked up his call she could also her the relief in his voice. She felt guilty for making them worried. The vampires were confused as to why someone was yelling at her and almost caused Stefan to take the phone from her to snarl at whoever was on the other side of the phone. He was placated when Hailey threw him a sheepish smile to him.

“WE WERE ALL WORRIED! WHAT HAPPENED?! YOU WERE JUST SUPPOSED TO TAKE A LOOK AROUND!! AND NOW I HEAR ALL THESE RUMORS ABOUT YOU HAVING TO STOP A FIGHT?!?! WERE ARE YOU AND THE TWINS?! I SWEAR IF SOME HOOLIGAN-“, rightfully mortified and embarrassed she cut off her uncle’s fretting, even without enhanced hearing there would be no way that the other occupants in the room didn’t here the worried werewolf. Klaus and Rebekah had an amused face on from hearing how overprotective the caller sound but they were confused as to who it is as they were not informed of Hailey’s family. Stefan had a troubled face on, he was worried that he had already made a bad impression on his mates family by not being there during Hailey’s pregnancy and then with all the rumors around there was no doubt in his mind that they saw him in a bad light. Hailey without noticing Stefan’s face had leaned her head on his shoulder to calm herself down and unknowingly calming her mate down as well.

“Moony! I’m sorry that I didn’t check in but so much happened and I can’t exactly say it over a call. I’ll be back soon and I won’t be alone, please make sure everyone is there.”, she knew that this was news you can’t just spout off over the phone, not to mention with how her uncle was reacting it was best to do it in person. She was mainly worried about how he would react to Stefan. The twins are only half and so far he hasn’t reacted negatively to them but Stefan was a nearly two hundred years old full vampire. He already knew her mate is a vampire but sometimes instinct doesn’t correspond to common sense. She needed to introduce Stefan to her family in a gentle manner, less having to deal with another supernatural brawl. One thing was for certain she will not have her uncle and husband at each other’s throats! While hardening her resolve Stefan tensed up, meeting the family of the girl you love was enough to make any guy anxiety ridden.

“Pup…what’s happened, is anything wrong?!”, Remus was understandably worried the last few months have been shock after shock. He already had grey hairs from the stress of the war and from the twins being born. He had fainted when Tonks told him she was expecting and again at all the babies being born. He wasn’t sure if he would survive another shock. The news of Hailey getting unknowingly married nearly send him into cardiac arrest!

“No, Moony. It’s just that…this is something that everyone needs to hear in person.”, oh sweet merciful Merlin! This had to be payback from all the mischief he had done in school. He could just hear Sirius and James laughing at him from the grave over how much he was fretting. What kind of news would make Hailey want to say it in person. It didn’t help that Tonks and Teddy were laughing and giggling at his expressions over the phone call. He threw his wife a narrowed look and softly scowled at her when she feigned innocence. It didn’t help that Teddy just giggled harder at the interaction. Hailey could hear Teddy and smiled softly, Stefan could as well and imagined what it would be like when the boys would start? They arranged to be at the mansion with Ron and Hermione after Remus got wind of Hailey not having eaten. He will not have her going all over the place on an empty stomach.

At being reminded to eat, Hailey promptly asked Klaus if she could use the kitchen. Klaus had first rejected and offered to have his hybrids make something for her, but she was adamant. He couldn’t very well win the argument so he relented. Stefan had smiled at the domestic argument and beamed when Hailey had told him to hold the boys while she made the food. Soon after he had the boys strapped to his chest and bouncing them them to see the faint smiles on their faces with the Originals trailing after him, hoping to hold the babies again. While Hailey was with Stefan momentarily Klaus had talked to his hybrids and told them to leave Hailey be unless she asked and to not do anything that could expose them. He wasn’t sure if Stefan had told her yet. Back in the kitchen, the hybrids were confused to see a teen girl bouncing around the kitchen but Klaus had ordered them to leave her be. They were okay with being under Klaus, as long as they didn’t betray him they were under his protection.

Tyler was among them and he had broken up with Caroline in order to show his loyalty to the pack, Klaus didn’t endanger their lives every few months. A certain doppelgänger can’t say the same with her family and friends. Even without the sire bond the wolves genuinely feel that Klaus has earned their loyalty, they just feel a little intimidated to actually show it. Klaus was the alpha and had given them the option of not having to go through the transformation every full moon. Non werewolves would never be able to understand how much that means. With how the curse is triggered, it would usually have happened after a tragic accident that already leaves survivor’s feeling guilty to so much more dread. Car crashes, not being fast enough to stop an occurrence, preservation instincts, and just total accidents is how most of the pack triggered the curse. What matters the most to the pack is that the pain is finally gone and loyalty. Klaus has been very adamant that they be careful and protected, he didn’t just want an army he wanted his own family. Tyler was siding with Klaus not just because of the bond but because he’s seen how easily anyone who isn’t just blaring “Team Elena GO!”, is just thrown away by her and her groupies.

His uncle, a guy who used to babysit Tyler and all his childhood friends, a guy Elena knew of her entire life, a guy that was just being manipulated, and wasn’t even considered to be explain to what was really happening. His uncle had been brutally killed by Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert didn’t even bat an eye or bother to inform him, he had to learn from Caroline. Another point: Caroline Forbes, Elena’s long time childhood best friend. Elena knew about how Damon was just using Caroline for blood, information, and sex and yet she was still falling in love with him. Caroline was just staying on Elena’s side for loyalty and for that he could respect but she was giving it to the wrong person. Elena only ever thought about what made her happy, must be that Petrova blood. He cared for Caroline , a lot but he knew that they were better as friends. He’s heard and seen how Klaus ‘fancied’ her and was now contemplating on telling him of Damon’s actions. It’s what he was thinking after seeing Klaus’s recent behaviors with the younger Salvatore before his attention was snapped to the ebony haired girl.

What she was making smelled divine and had their inner wolves wagging their tails. She had enjoyed cooking, it would have been loved if not for her relatives. Though when she was making the steak she could see that the people around her were practically drooling. She couldn’t help but ask if they were hungry, they looked equivalent to children who were caught red handed and no one answered until a young man walked up and nodded. He looked around her age and had a minor blush on his face when his stomach had made itself known along with his pack. “Well, I’d be happy to cook up a meal for everyone but I’ll need some help if you lot don’t mind?”, the hybrid pack and Tyler looked between each other and back to Hailey. They all nodded sheepishly and were quickly put to work by the small teen, something in her just compelled them to following her orders. They were divided into four groups. Group one were put to chop up and boil the potatoes to make mashed potatoes. Group two were to chop up vegetables and add seasoning for the salad. Group three, that had Tyler and Hailey, were to make a lot more steak along with a lot of beef. And finally, group four was in charge of baking dessert. The whole time they were joking around, smiles on their faces, and learning more about the new girl. They were hungry hybrids, along with her, three vampires, and her family coming they had enough prepared to feed an army.

The scene the vampires and babies walked in on was nothing short of shocking. They had been trailing Stefan and begging to hold the boys again but he was stubborn and wanted to keep them to himself for a little while longer. Then they had walked in the kitchen to check on Hailey and instead saw her setting up a feast with the hybrids on the very large dining table. All were in smiles and following her word without questioning her. Klaus hadn’t ordered them to do that. It was as if a huge family had taken over the kitchen. And at the center of it all was Hailey Potter. The vampires couldn’t help but marvel at how she easily was handling the pack and how the pack was showing a large amount of respect and awe that was usually reserved for Klaus.

Klaus had cleared his throat and everything halted. He and the others raised an eyebrow. If anything he was slightly envious that the young girl was able to to garner support from his pack. She smiled at them and walked up to Stefan who was still holding the boys. The hybrids were wondering why the younger Salvatore had babies with him. She shocked the hybrids by pecking a besotted Stefan on the lips and kissed the babies foreheads. She looked to the group of vampires and had a sheepish smirk, “Hungry?”, she dipped her finger in some mashed potatoes and proceeded to suck on it innocently.

Stefan’s eyes had darkened with lust at seeing her finger enter and exit her mouth but he shook his head. He couldn’t and wouldn’t do anything until he knew she was ready and healed. She had just given birth and he didn’t know much about childbirth or the female body but he knew that she needed some well deserved rest. They all moved to the very large table and most of everyone was trying to scramble for a seat near Hailey when the doorbell rang. Klaus had nodded to a hybrid to go answer the door, he was half expecting the mystic falls gang to have showed up and was surprised to see new people. He figured they must be Hailey’s family when she went to go greet them. The eldest man had pulled her into a worried hug while the not-so-much older woman looked on in slight amusement with an a year old child with a little sun hat on. There were two others a boy and girl who were the same age as Hailey looking over her then looking over the room. They all possessed eyes that were as haunted as the many soldiers he had seen returned from battle. However a familiar smell had caused him and the hybrids to tense up.

Stefan stood in order to greet Hailey’s family when the hug ended but promptly froze in place when he noticed that her uncle was staring at him with amber eyes. He’d almost forgotten, Uncle Moony is a werewolf. While vampires don’t really react to their presence, wolves definitely do. When her uncle noticed that he was still holding the boys, he started to growl at this Stefan was ready to hiss and clutch the boys close to him, Klaus and his hybrids were close to growling to show dominance. Moony was only able to come out some because of how close the full moon was and because of the threat of a vampire near his pack. He stopped when Hailey decided to step in between them. He (along with the rest of the room) was having a minor anxiety attack at her putting herself in harms way and was ready to rush over when she started speaking in a very soft voice.

“Easy Moony. Look at me.”, she was gesturing over her figure and Moony was tracking her every move. “I’m fine, okay? Everything is fine. He isn’t a threat, he’s protecting the boys and he protected me today. Moony, I need Remus back.”, he growled low at this still glaring at Stefan. He has become protective of what Remus has started to see as family, they were lack now.“Moony! He is mine just as I’m his. Please, he’s important to me and I need to show that to Remus too. I promise, no one in your pack is in danger, okay?”, only at this Moony bowed his head in submission and Remus came back. Hailey walked up to him, ignoring the tense atmosphere of the room, grabbed his shoulders and turned him slightly to Stefan. Both men had a befuddled face on but she continued with, “Uncle Remus, Tonks, Teddy-bear, Ron, and Hermione I’d like to introduce you to my mate, husband, and father of my children, Stefan Salvatore. Stefan I’d like you to meet ‘some’ of my family.”, almost in sync the room had stared and blinked at her. The silence was broken when a snort had broken free from Ron.

In breathless laughter, “Really sis, we need to work on your introductions.”, Ron said.

“I just figured it’s better to get it out…I already know everything about them!”,she said in a pout. Stefan had walked up to her chuckling in near exasperation and proceeded to nuzzle her neck to calm himself a bit. This caused the hybrids to break out of their stupor, why was she saying a vampire was her babies father? If it was before he was turned it would have been believable but Stefan was almost two hundred years old. A braver hybrid had stepped up to question her, Tyler.

“If you know everything than you know it’s not possible for Salvatore to be the father, right?”, he said in some trepidation. He liked the new girl, he hoped that he didn’t make the wrong assumption about her character.

“If I was anyone else it wouldn’t be. But unfortunately I’m the fates favorite chew toy. You see I’m not normal, just like how everyone else isn’t either.”, she might as well tell them now. Stefan said that Klaus and Rebekah stepped up to be his family and she didn’t want to have secrets between them. She learned from the war that secrets were unnecessary and just caused pain in the end. Everyone just raised an eyebrow at her and Stefan, expecting some more explaining. Ron and the others started to help themselves at the table. “You see I’m a witch, everyone in my family hear is a witch or wizard. But we’re different than the ones you’re used to. We refer to your kind as supernaturals and your witches as wiccans.”, still seeing some doubt on Klaus and Rebekah she retrieved her elder wand from her holster. She looked to Stefan who looked confused at her wand, “I never did show you how we were different.”

She saw that her family was ready to see her display as well, they wanted to see how well her magic was doing after the twins being born. She looked to Tyler who had a unimpressed look on his face. “Brace yourself puppy. EXPECTO PATRONUM!”, and just like that the room was filled with a sparkling light, out of the tip of Hailey’s wand emerged a stag. It was a very impressive sight as the stag had emerged walking calmly with a kingly like aura. It then jumped onto an invisible floor that was just above Tyler’s head that caused him to yelp. It trounced on midair before going back to Hailey and bowing its head to her feet and disappearing.

“Just so you know while not being as impressive as her we can all do that as well. Hailey is considered to be the most powerful witch but one thing is for sure we are not the same as the wiccans you have encountered.”, Hermione felt the need, as always to explain, she smacked Ron on the arm when he started to chuckle. He rolled his eyes fondly at her. “We are also not the only ones. There is a whole society of us that are hidden from what we consider the muggle or no-maj world.”, she added after another second of silence. It was finally broken by a hysterical Klaus.

“WHAT THE BLOODY HELL JUST HAPPENED?!?!”, great. Stefan’s turn to deal with a slightly emotional supernatural creature.

Previous chapter // Next chapter

March — June 2000

Mel had been sorely missing waking up next to her boyfriend every morning, having every meal together... they still spent most of the day with each other, but it wasn't the same. Mel loved her mother and baby brother, but after Erick moved out she realized she'd outgrown the nest too, and she wanted to be with her partner.

When Easter arrived, Harry and Mel packed their bags and joined Joseph, Fred, Hermione and Ron on a two-week-long trip to France. Hermione, who was the only one apart from Joseph that had been there before, took them to her favourite places.

Jo was a bit sad about leaving France, but things were going great with Fred and the twin didn't want to abandon his shop, so Erick's cousin decided to look for a new job. Mel suggested he went and asked McGonagall if she would hire him to replace Erick. Everyone thought it was a great idea.

"I could supervise the shop we're planning to open in Hogsmeade!" Fred said. "That way we can live together, no need to say goodbye for long."

"Splendid," Joseph beamed. "I could even sleep there— don't think McGonagall would find it unsuitable. It's only a few minutes away from the castle!"

He leaned and kiss Fred with enthusiasm. Mel looked away, it was hard not to feel jealous of other people's accomplishments when she still had a long way to go. Harry's hand found hers and squeezed it to bring her back from her intrusive thoughts. Years of knowing each other had made them experts at reading their body language.

He leaned over to whisper. "Soon..." Then kissed her cheek.

"It's a real pity Anne and Erick couldn't come," Jo sighed. "I know he's dying to visit ever since I moved out when I was seven... oh well, he'll have plenty of time once he resigns. And he'll be able to bring his family too!"

Mel still felt a strange pull at the base of her stomach every time someone reminded her Erick was a married man. The force with which she felt it was diminishing with each day, eventually it wouldn't be "Erick has a daughter!?" but a tug of wonderful reaffirmation, "Yes! Erick has a daughter!"

"I hope that by the time he comes this restaurant will still be open," Ron said finishing his meal. "It's so good... hey, do you think they serve bouillabaisse?"

Hermione blinked. "I don't know. Why?"

He shrugged. "You mentioned once that you'd like it. I just wanted to try it out and see for myself."

The girl smiled. "Oh well, you ate too much already, but we can have dinner at the place where I ate it when I was thirteen! Hopefully, it'll be open."

"Don't spoil him, 'Mione," Fred warned her. "He'll get used to it and then you'll have to be eating out for the rest of your days."

"That's not true, I like cooking as much as eating," Ron scowled. "Unlike you and George, pair of lazy gits—"

Harry decided to intervene before the brothers continued their argument. "I'd like to go to the beach today. What d'you think Jo?"

The young man nodded. "It's a good plan! The weather's quite nice today..."

"We should be on our way, then!" Hermione finished her drink and got to her feet. "Let's pay and then we can go to Jo's place and get our swimsuits!"

She walked away from the table, Ron's eyes followed her all the way, bright and adoring.

"Uncle Moony used to take me to the beach during the time he lived here... That was the first time I truly noticed his scars..." Mel grabbed a fistful of sand and let it fall through her fingers absently. "He hated the way strangers looked at him. I knew he did, but he always acted like he was having fun for my sake... I wonder if he'll bring Teddy."

"Maybe we could bring him," Harry suggested. "Him and Regulus?"

"Yes, but that wasn't my point," She looked up at him. "I know Remus will stay away from public places. He did it before, and back then he was young and handsome. Now he's older, and though many of us still think he's good-looking... I know he'll be too mortified to go out with his wife and kid."

"Well, we can't do much about it, can we?" Harry said wisely. "It's up to Remus, just like it was up to us to seek help."

"I could help," Mel frowned, eyes fixed on her fingers. "He's a father to me, I don't want him to spend the rest of his years hidden... I want him to enjoy his life fully."

Harry stared at her strangely. She'd never been brave enough to ask what he was thinking whenever his face adopted that expression. But now she didn't have to, Harry was ready to talk.

"When I was about to die," He began. "I turned the stone a last time. I saw my parents and Sirius... your dad as well. They said they were proud... they stayed, I felt them when Voldemort raised his wand to kill me— but they weren't the last thing I thought of."

"What was it?"

He tilted his head, squinting his eyes to protect them from the sunlight. "I thought about the lifeline. The only thing I was regretting was having to leave you behind... not telling you the truth when I was fifteen, not saying I loved you sooner. Even if I'd said it many times by then... it all felt like wasted time."

"It wasn't wasted," Mel cupped his cheek, he moved his face a little and kissed her palm. "We understood a lot during those years, things that we had to learn separately. I was overprotective of you, being away lessened my need to save you..."

"I won't ever take you for granted, not after being so close to losing my chance for good. I know how lucky I am," He shrugged. "If this whole thinking about what's most important to you happens to everyone, then maybe he's changed his mind by now. He's teaching again, isn't he?"

"Look at you, so mature and clever," She tilted her head and grinned. "So I was your last thought before dying?"

"Of course," He smiled. "My head's empty and the only coherent thought is your name."

"You're absurd," She snorted.

"It works though," He smirked, casually placing his hand on her thigh. "I can keep going, I'll tell you what I know you want to hear. I'll lean over and—"

"If you finish that sentence I'm afraid we'll have to leave the beach immediately," She warned him.

A grey owl came down flying and dropped a letter on Harry's lap. Thankfully, the place was empty due to the hour, and Mel quickly busied herself with feeding the animal with a few of their leftovers.

"Hi, Cassi!" The girl smiled. "Is it a letter from Erick?"

"It's Anne's," Harry read through it, face puzzled by the contents. "She found us a house."

"What!" Mel snatched the letter.

"Guys!" Harry called their friends.

"Isn't that Erick's owl?" Joseph asked upon arrival, he tilted his head to dry his curls with a towel.

"Listen," Harry nudged Mel so she read out loud.

"I took Em for a walk and found a lovely house near ours— it looks abandoned and not in the best state, but I guess that's not a problem for a wizard! I'll look for the owner and I'll put you in contact with them...'"

"Blimey!" Ron smiled, but it faded quickly. "We won't be neighbours..."

"They need to find the owner first," Hermione commented. "It could be abandoned entirely— that's a lot of paperwork..."

"Or they could just get in there and pretend it's been theirs all along," Fred suggested. "Who can stop them?"

"We're not thieves," Mel scowled. "But this is great news! I hope Anne finds the owners— We're one step closer to having a house, Glasses!"

Harry stood and drew her up with him, he lifted her off the ground in a bear hug.

"We should celebrate," He said. "Drinks on me!"

"Hang on, Mr Wealthy," Mel pushed him away. "Are you out of your mind? We need that money!"

"Oh c'mon! It's not like we'll spend thousands of galleons on a few pints!" He sulked.

"That's alright, I'll pay for the drinks," Joseph smiled. "It's the least I can do—"

"Your parents are letting us sleep in their house," Mel shook her head. "You are doing more than enough."

"Oh, alright, I'll pay," Fred rolled his eyes. "I'm the next loaded guy in line, aren't I?"

Ron patted his brother's back and pushed him forward. "What else can you do with all that money? Save it? That's a Percy thing to do..."

"All drinks on me!" Fred replied immediately.

When Mel returned, Emily had a mess in their house. New pots of plants and some baby salamanders were distributed across the kitchen, Mel cringed the moment she entered and Grey ran up to her with his face all muddy.

"Where's Reggie?" She asked worryingly, picking up her pet and cleaning him with a flick of her wand.

"Remus and Tonks took him for the weekend while I put order— I'm so glad to see you!" The woman kissed her cheek and left a smear of dirt on her face. "Pass me that pot, please?"

Mel did it, though she jumped away as soon as she looked inside.

"Argh! I thought I'd left behind the horrors of Herbology when I left the castle..." She gawked, Grey jumped out of her grasp in disapproval.

"You want healthy creatures, you need to feed them right," Emily said brightly. "This is for my fairies..."

"Yay," Mel said without an ounce of excitement. "Have I gotten any letters from Anne?"

"No... Where's Harry? I thought he'd come to say hi!"

"He's at the Burrow, he wanted to unpack first but he told me he'd be here for dinner. Have you heard the news?"

"Are you pregnant?"

"No!" Mel's cat jumped indignantly. "Why does everyone always think— Oh, it doesn't matter. Anne said she's found a house for us!"

Emily stopped her energetic pacing and looked at her. "That's wonderful."

Her demeanour changed, she was no longer cheerful and loud.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, it's just... came as a surprise... when are you leaving?"

Mel laughed. "Oh no! We haven't seen it. Anne said it looks abandoned so it might take a while before she contacts the owners."

"Oh," Emily's face brightened a bit. "Oh, well. I hope you get an answer soon. You'll let me go with you the first time you see it, won't you? Please?"

"Sure! I don't see why not..."

Emily nodded approvingly and continued her chores, Mel took off her coat and hung it on a chair, then she followed her mother out to the garden.

"Mum?"

"Hmm?" The woman had knelt, she was tending to some strange-looking plants.

"Have you thought about dating again?"

Her mother didn't hesitate. "No."

Mel felt unsure. "Well, it's just... it's been four years since... it's a new century, so if you feel like having a fresh start..."

Emily looked up at her waiting to hear the rest of the sentence, Mel sighed and continued.

"I want to make sure that you'll be okay. When Erick moved out you were sad for ages... if I leave I don't want you to feel the same way that when you were left to raise me by yourself. Reg's my brother and Harry loves him, so does Erick and everyone else... you know you don't have to do it alone, right?"

"Oh, kid," The woman stood and cupped her daughter's face. Mel didn't care about the dirt. "I'm okay! Mothers get a bit teary when their eldest moves out, that's all... you've gone away and came right back so many times I forgot that one day it'd be for good."

"So you don't wish for a partner?"

"Not right now," Emily pondered. "But I never thought I'd end up with Sirius. I'm happy with my life as it is, though. I've lived thirty wonderful years without romance being a big part of my life and I wouldn't change a thing. Men like Sirius and your father are one in a million, and Remus is already married," She joked.

Mel laughed. "I'm happy as long as you're happy."

"Then you'll be happy for as long as I live."

"House-elves?"

"Yes."

Kingsley stared at her, Mel didn't budge.

"I knew the Dumbledore in you would try to do something like that one day."

"A crazy thing, you mean?" She asked with amusement.

"Unorthodox," He corrected. "But please, do explain your reasoning behind this plan."

Mel handed him the petition she'd written with Hermione's help and started to describe the whole thing.

"Azkaban's only as safe as its defences. Right now, that isn't a lot. The dementors have murderous tendencies and they will follow dark magic devotees if given the chance. House-elves, however, are well-natured since birth. They hold more power than any regular wizard or witch, and they aren't affected by the same bindings we do. It's already an advantage to have a guard that doesn't need a wand to defend themselves."

"Yes, but we're talking of innocent creatures looking after the vilest of wizards," The man shook his head. "How can you guarantee they know what they're against?"

"It's all about hiring the right group," Mel smiled. "You know Dobby?"

"We've crossed paths once or twice," Kingsley responded with interest. "How is he special?"

"He's the only known elf that broke his masters' rules to accuse him of being a dark wizard," She explained. "He's proven multiple times in the past that he understands the difference between blind loyalty and morality, wrong and right. I trust Dobby with my life, Sir."

"But does he understand the importance of gatekeeping a prison?"

"I'm certain he wants nothing else but to help our cause and keep the dark wizards away. He holds Mr Potter in very high esteem, you see, whatever rules Harry follows, Dobby will do too."

"But this is just one elf we're talking about..."

"Oh, there's another," She quickly added. "My house-elf Kreacher helped during our hunt for Horcruxes two years ago, he enjoys spreading the word about the dangers of dark magic. He's even better suited for the job than Dobby, he doesn't advocate for any living person in particular, but for the ideals of a dead man, who I must say, had his heart in the right place."

Kingsley nodded silently, he ran a hand across his face and sighed deeply.

"Dumbledore tended to have the best answers to our biggest problems," He began, "I've heard you are the same."

"I'm not my uncle," She reminded him. "But I would never dare to make this big of a change if I weren't sure it'd work. You don't have to take my word for it, just hire Dobby and Kreacher and give them a month. Tell them to deliver reports twice a week, ask them to hire their staff, and you'll see Azkaban's safety measures will be the most efficient in the world."

"And if you fail? If this causes another massive break out?"

Mel's eyes were calculating. "I caught half of the people in those cells, Sir. I'd gladly do it again."

"I don't doubt that," He stated plainly. "But that's not my point, Miss Dumbledore."

She shrugged and lifted her hands, palms facing the ceiling. "That's what I can offer. That, and my resignation if you think that's what I ought to do if I fail. I'm putting my foot down. The world has never improved without a bit of risk, and definitely not when we hold onto old ways."

"Right as usual," The man took a deep breath. "Very well. Tell Miss Granger to contact these elves, it's her department, after all, the one that settles these kinds of deals. It'll be her first big assignment, I hope she's ready."

"She's been waiting for this moment since she was fourteen, sir," Mel smiled proudly. "She'll be happy to hear we're finally starting to see elves as our equals," The girl stood and shook hands with the Minister. "Sir?"

"Yes?"

"I want to apologize beforehand for the articles the prophet may publish once we announce the new plan. Skeeter will have a field day."

"I know," He groaned. "Let's hope to prove her wrong."

"By the way... I'm not saying this to pass the blame, but the elves weren't my idea," She confessed. "Mr Greengrass suggested it at the Flints' wedding. He's a visionary."

Kingsley raised his eyebrows. "Indeed, but if a man like him offered you such an imaginative solution, must've been cause he was sure you could pull it off."

"Maybe," She walked away from the desk but stopped at the entrance.

"What is it, Miss Dumbledore?" Her boss questioned.

"You said something before... while talking about Azkaban," she looked at him. "You said that the elves had to know what they were up against. That's not how we ought to see it."

Kingsley seemed intrigued. "No?"

"Once they're locked down, there's no reason to keep fighting them," Mel shrugged. "It was a terrible idea to have dementors there. We don't want the prisoners to hate us more, we want them to feel sorry for what they did. For them to regret their actions, I believe showing mercy and kindness, and giving them proper care... maybe that could make the difference."

"Then more than a prison it'd be a reformatory, don't you think?"

She shrugged again. "I don't see a problem with that. I'm not saying it'll work with all of them, and I'm not saying we would even get them out if it did, but most people do wonders with second chances, and maybe listening to an ex-dark wizard say that they regret ever following that path, will keep others from even trying."

"And if that doesn't work, the thought of having to fight Mel Dumbledore might," Kingsley smiled a little.

"Are we there yet?"

"Almost."

"I'm thirsty!"

"I warned you it'd be hot and you still decided to wear long sleeves," Mel looked down at her four-year-old brother with annoyance.

The boy pulled the strings of his coat and whimpered dramatically. Behind them, Emily and Harry were conversing with the old owner of the house. Regulus had visited Erick's place several times that year, but he wanted to see Mel's future home cause he'd overheard his mother saying it was an old building, and he was sure it'd be filled with ghosts.

"It's so far!" Reggie panted. "We've walked hours!"

"It's been ten minutes," Mel chortled. "Your legs are just short."

"My legs are a'ight!" He pushed the fluffy auburn locks of hair away from his sweaty forehead. "You're enormous!"

She picked him up. "Oof! You're heavy! Next year you'll be able to reach my knee if you're lucky!"

"I'll be taller than you," He stuck out his tongue.

"Hope so, then I'll force you to carry me around," She grinned.

"We're here!"

Regulus and Mel looked ahead: The three-story house had the Victorian-looking style Erick's home possessed, but was not as intimidating. It looked slightly smaller since it lacked the tower and the black roof tiles.

It had dark green rooftops covered in moss, ivy growing all over its cream coloured exterior and a small entrance with worn steps leading to an elegant but mouldy wooden door. She couldn't see the windows because they'd been boarded, but they were big and scattered evenly all across the house. Around the construction, there was a wide variety of wildflowers.

The man approached and opened it carefully, everything was old and unused, but not beaten as to be considered rubbish. Regulus squirmed out of Mel's grasp and started to roam around the first floor, Mel heard her mother warning him about the stairs, but the girl was too dazzled to help.

The entrance hall's tapestry was dark brown and falling to pieces, but to them, it looked as beautiful as any other. Mel could see herself growing old in that house so clearly she knew right away this was home.

"I told you it'd be loads of work," The man sighed, misinterpreting Mel's quiet awe. "Too much to do."

"Better start now while we're young," Harry retorted.

The old man blinked and stared at him.

"You want it?"

One look at Mel's sweet doe eyes, and Harry knew she'd fallen in love. He didn't mind the thought of having to rebuild half of it, if anything, it was an exciting prospect. They were about to build a home from scratch.

"Can you show us the rest?"

Mel had never gotten the opportunity to build a dream house in her mind, the only thing that she'd hope to get was privacy and enough rooms to welcome their friends in case any of them wanted to visit. This one had both, a vast forest around it, and three bathrooms.

So they bought it.

The man was perplexed. He asked discretely whether they came from wealthy families, and Mel answered that it was kind of the case.

"But the only living relatives we've got left are my mother, my brother and my grandad," She told him.

"I see," He said politely. "I'm sorry to hear that. But the lovely couple living near are your friends?"

"Yeah, they were the ones who told us about this house," Harry smiled.

"My dear auntie was never keen on making friends or acquaintances. I live in the south, so I just come here about once a year to check on the place and see if anyone's interested in buying it. I leave my card right there at the front door, I assume that's how your friend knew how to contact me?"

They told him he was right, and he hummed.

"Perhaps the house was made for you."

Mel liked that, Harry as well, judging by the way his eyes brightened at the remark.

"Hope you're ready for all the paperwork and all the handy work it'll take to bring this house back to life..."

Harry seized her hand and squeezed a little.

"We are."
