Christmas, 2024 - 4 years after proposal
"Merry Christmas!" Mum called out as she stepped through the floo. As i walked over, Dad stepped through close behind.
"Merry Christmas mum." I gave her a gentle hug that was soon interrupted by 2 little munchkins.
"Nanny! Poppy!" Our eldest son Ethan Harry Potter laughed as he bounded into the room clumsily enveloping mum into a bone crushing hug.
Mum laughed and gave the 3 year old a kiss on the head. Dad came forward picking the tot off of the floor.
"Merry Christmas Eth." Dad said as he lowered the laughing kid to the floor.
"Where's Euphemia?" Mum asked looking around the lounge room. Euphemia is our 1 year old daughter. The name comes from James' great grandmother.
"With James, Luca, Pandora and Septimus outside playing 'quidditch'."I turned to Ethan,
"Why don't you go play with Sep so i can greet everyone?"
The little boy nodded at the chance to go and play with his best friend and sister in the garden. He ran out the back door in a flash.
Pandora and Septimus are Luca and Aylas children both named respectfully after a past relative.
"Ash and Ivy here yet?" Dad asked pulling me into a hug. His blonde hair had started to go grey at the routes, although no one beside mum would bring it up to safe his ego.
"Should be here any minute. I think their bringing the baby!" I smiled stepping back. Asher and Ivy had just became parents in the past couple months.
Narcissa Molly Malfoy was born 11 days before Henry Theo Nott which is Lili and Emerson's 1st child.
Although they only graduated 2 years ago, Ash and Ivy had been dating since the end of 4th year, whilst Lili and Emmo started dating at the start of 5th.
Obviously we all followed in our mother's steps by planning when we will have a child. Both Euphemia and Ethan are born only days apart from Septimus and Pandora Zabini.
"I can't wait to see little Cissy!" Mum squealed excitedly.
Dad looked at the both of us like maniacs.
"Ayla here?" He asked breaking mums happiness bubble.
"She's in the kitchen getting bottles for Pan and Euphy." I smiled. As mum and i walked towards the kitchen, dad branched off and joined the boys outside to teach the little ones how to play quidditch.
"Mother!" Ayla laughed as she hugged my mum. She had 2 baby bottles in her hands that wrapped around mums back.
Mum pulled away with a big grin on her face, "Ayla, I've missed you."
"We only saw you last saturday for family dinners!" Ayla exclaimed spinning around to heat the bottles up.
Mum took a seat on one of the bar stools around the island, "A whole week."
Ayla spun around with her eyes brows on her forehead,
"Too long." She said sarcastically handing me a bottle.
"Better feed the babes before the others get here." We made our away towards the door. I shot a glance behind me to the 2 girls, "You did all arrive very early."
"VIP." Ayla said simply walked onto the grass close behind me.
James and Luca held onto their sons gently as the boys sat on their child brooms they got for their birthdays last march. Dad was on the other side of the garden throwing the snitch up in the air before catching it, reading to release it for the boys to follow.
Pandora and Euphemia sat in their baby seats on the side lines watching their older brothers and dad quietly.
We walked over to the girls and picked them up and put them on our hips.
Euphy looked up to me with her big grey eyes taking in my face. I kissed her cheek before i showed her to mum,
"Wanna feed her?"
Mums grin grew as she took the baby from me and sat down on the rug the boys had set up for us. Euphy sat up looked at mum before she got given the bottle.
Mum is always mesmerised with babies. Always has been.
Ayla sat down next to mum placing Pandora beside Euphy before giving her the bottle. Before we could get into a conversation, there was a roar from the fire place.
No one bothered to get up, hoping whoever just arrived would find us outside.
We thought right. Harry, Pansy, Blaise and Ginny walked through the back door. Blaise held a glass bowl of what looked like potato salad. Pansy held a matching glass bowl of some sort of soup.
"Why are we outside?" Pansy asked looking around the garden, "It's the middle of winter."
"We're gonna put a heat charm up. Relax!" James called out to his mother from the far end of the garden.
"Where do i put this?" Blaise lifted the bowl in his hands.
"Oh!" I picked up my wand on conjured a table beside us for food, "Put it on that." I smiled.
Pansy and Blaise put the food down before lowering themselves onto the rug we sat on.
"My knees can't handle this." Harry grunted as he finally got to the floor.
"Your only 45, honey!" Pansy excaimed as she rubbed Pandora's back gently.
"How are we already grandparents?" Ginny asked picking you a baby rattle from the floor and examining it.
"Do you need the story of the birds and the bees?" Luca called out as he gently let go of his son to fly around a foot off the ground by him self.
Ginny narrowed her eyes at her laughing son. Luca definitely got both his parents sarcasm.
"Are we sure the 3 year olds should be on brooms?" Pansy asked wearily watching her grandchildren fly around slowly.
Harry looked at his wife, "James was on a broom at 3."
Pansy smirked slightly, "But grandchildren are different."
We all laughed before Blaise turned to me,
"Happen to have a spare broom laying around?"
I pointed to the broom shed, "Got a couple. Take whatever you'd like."
Blaise stood, who soon followed by Ginny and Harry all walking towards the shed.
"Never was a fan of Quidditch." Pansy admitted.
Mum laughed, "Draco's tried to get me on a broom before. I literally kicked and scratched. I hate flying."
I saw dads head turn towards us, "Got you on it a couple times!" His eyes flickered to me obviously then back to mum.
Mum gaped at dads crude moment. "Draco Lucius Malfoy!" Mum scolded tearing her eyes away from the babbling babies in front of us.
Dad looked innocently at Mum as Blaise and Harry laughed.
Ayla, James, Luca and I all gave each other the same glance before fake gagging.
"Oh come on," Pansy smirked, "It's the circle of life!"
As the group laughed and or gagged, no one heard the floo roar multiple times. The back door swung open, letting in all of our youngest siblings along with Connor Weasley, Ava Weasley and Lila Dursley.
"Family!" Alfie Potter greeted loudly stepping down onto the grass.
"Alfie!" Pansy stood up and gave her son a big hug. She didn't leave the rest out though as she gave every one of them a motherly hug.
Mum stood closely behind doing the same.
"How's school?" I asked my youngest sister as she sat down beside me.
Maya grinned, "Really good! In the DADA exam, i got top mark." She got interrupted by Noah Nott,
"I was only 1 mark away from you!"
Maya looked up at the boy standing behind her. They smiled at each other for a second before Maya looked back at us.
"Anyways, i'm reading Hogwarts: A History again. It's just such a good book with so much information." She explained happily.
"Such a Ravenclaw." Ayla laughed.
"Maya, your a copy and paste of mum. I swear to Merlin." I shook my head.
"That's not a bad thing." Mum said from beside me. She was playing with Euphy whilst Pansy played with Pandora.
"Recon you have one more broom?" Noah asked drawing my attention back to my left.
I nodded, "Not sure why, but James has a lot of old broomsticks. Have at it."
Noah thanked me, then went on his merry way to the broom shed.
The back door swung open again, "Sorry we're late!"
Ash, Ivy, Lili, Emerson and their 2 kids in baby seats walked into the garden.
I stood up, "The Weasley's aren't even here yet, nor Theo and Luna, your fine." I laughed hugging each of them.
When i got to Asher i took in his face, "You look horrible."
I smiled at him. Brotherly sisterly love. Am i right?
"Now i know why you looked like shit when Eth and Euph were babies." He responded in the same cold way.
I smiled sarcastically at him, "Helping well?"
"I don't even know what that is anymore."
I pulled him into a hug. my little brother was all grown up.
At that very moment, baby Cissy started crying like clock work. Asher pulled away, his lips pursed looking down to the baby. He was about to lean down when,
"It's alright, i got it." Lunas gentle voice called. Theo and Luna walked down into the garden.
The blonde picked up the baby from her seat and started rocking it quietly as she walked around the garden greeting people.
Theo joined us holding a plate of cookies,
"Hopefully that cures her baby fever." he muttered looking up to his wife.
"Ivy wants another one. Cissy isn't even 1 year old yet!" Asher grumbled.
He spoke too loud. Ivy spun around and narrowed her eyes,
"What did you say?"
Asher looked up, his eyes wide in fear, "That your gorgeous and i don't know what i'd do with you." He smiled wearily.
Ivy hummed as she turned around to continue talking g with Pansy, Mum, Ayla, and Lili.
There was a small raspberry noise from our feet. I looked down to see baby Henry sitting it his baby seat looking up at us whilst spitting bubbles. He smiled when we noticed me looking.
"Who do we have here?" I put on my baby face as i picked him up. "Do we have an little Henry?" I tickled his tummy,
"Yes we do. Yes we do!"
Theo looked at me like o was going mental.
"Like you didn't do this to your kids! I even saw you do it with Ethan!" I laughed as i tickled the baby again.
Theo quirked a smile before spinning around to the broom shed. By now we had a full blown Quidditch match in our garden - which was definitely large enough to hold a half sized match -.
I spin around when there's a crack of the floo. George and Angelina come through the back door followed by their kids Roxanne, Fred and last late son Alexander who was 6.
Hugs get given out to them. When i reach Roxanne she looks up to me, "You don't mind if i invite my boyfriend?" She asked wearily.
A grin cracks in my lips, "Of course. It will be lovey to meet him."
I turn towards George who had taken the baby off me and proceeded to layer him with kisses on his cheeks.
"Do you know if Perc is coming?" I asked looking inside towards the floo.
He looked up from the baby, "Nah, he's at Audreys family's Christmas with the grandkids."
"How is Lucy? Has Austin Crum proposed yet?" I asked about Percys eldest daughter.
He laughed, "Their in Bulgaria. Supposedly he's gonna propose to her on Nee Years."
"Yeah, can't believe the Weasleys are gonna be related the the crums." Ron said as he stepped down into the garden.
Lavender followed with Melody, Liam, Vilian Jordan (Liams girlfriend), and Fred the 1st.
"Sorry we're late. Everyone was getting ready at the burrow until that one," He pointed a finger at a grinning George.
"Left early. The kids even came over which never happens anymore since they all moved out!"
Melody narrowed her eyes at her father, "We always come over!"
Ron ignored her, "Oh, and we had to wait for Fred to get there."
Fred hovered smiling at everyone. No one could hug him, but he could still come over and give us a cold kiss on the cheek.
"Honey! Where do i put the pie?" A feminine voice called out from the kitchen.
Melody shot a questioning look to me. I pointed to the table of food.
"Out here!" Melody called back. Footsteps emerged from the house coming towards the garden.
Daniela Boot, a previous Ravenclaw stepped out smiling. Her short black hair hovered over her shoulder and she looked around.
"Hey everyone!" She smiled.
"Everyone, Daniela Boot, Danny, my family." She introduced the anxious girl to the pack.
"Your Terry Boots daughter aren't you?" Harry asked from hovering in the air. She nodded.
"How's he?" Mum asked from the floor.
Daniela, still scared from meetings everyone replied,
"He's good. Working at Ministry still."
"Need to catch up with him soon." Ron muttered,
"Anyways, this is Melody's girlfriend."
I gaped slightly from the announcement. That soon turned into a smile as i gave Mel a hug.
With one 4 more roars of the floo, we all waited for the late comers to arrive. There was chatter in the house before people stepped out.
Bill, Fleur, Victoire, Teddy Lupin, Dominique, Louis, and a very pregnant Willow Podmorr - Louis' Wife - stepped out.
They were followed by Teddy and Victoire's children Remus and Nymphadora. Remus was in 4th year, whilst Tonks was in 2nd.
There were still 4 voiced from inside. As i greeted the new guests, Nanny Narcissa and her husband Jonathan Coal stepped out hand in hand.
Authur and Molly followed.
"Haven't been here in a while!" Nan said said as she pulled me into a hug.
"We need to start having family dinner here instead of Mum and Dads cottage." I laughed as we both pulled away.
Nanny and Molly both levitated multiple plates of food that they had both made - with help of their grandkids and great grandchildren - to the table as they went around giving out hugs.
"I'm hungry!" Ethan called out from hovering above the ground.
"Yeah!" Septimus agreed to his best friend.
"Alright!" Molly called out laughing. "Everyone conjure a pillow for themselves."
We all did she she ordered. Everyone who flew around in the sky, hovered down and placed their broomsticks on the walls of the broom shed.
Molly transformed the table that i had made into a long floor table. We all sat down on our pillows surrounding the table.
I sat next to Ethan and James. I didn't have to worry about Euphemia as she and the rest of the babies had been taken by Mum, Pansy, Nanna, Angelina, Ginny, Theo, luna, dad, and Melody. Basically everyone had a cuddle ad we served ourselves.
Ayla, Luca, and Septimus sat across from us.
As Ayla served herself some croutons and salad, Luca picked a crouton off her plate and threw it into his mouth like a child.
"Hey!" Ayla scolded slapped the boyish man on his arm.
"Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen." He winked before continuing to put food on his paper plate.
"He got that motto off me, you know." Blaise said proudly from down the table on our left.
"Oh i know." Ginny mumbled talking a bite of a sandwich.
We all laughed.
James turned to our right to the 7th and 6th years,
"Whose top of the leader board in Quidditch?"
That bought Lunas attention to the conversation.
Alfie smirked, "Gryffindor."
"Come on!" Luca said disappointingly, "What happen to Slytherin?"
"Their 3rd." Maya said factually, "Ravenclaw in second." She looked over to a chuff Noah.
"We're having a pretty good season." Noah smiled taking his eyes away from my younger sister.
"We're still gonna beat you first week back." Luci smirked. Defied my Blaise and Ginny's child.
"Ravenclaw isn't nerds like Maya." Noah smirked evenly.
Maya turned to the blonde beside her and punched his arm. Hard.
"I'm more then brains you know!" She said sounding like mum.
He winced rubbing his arm slightly before leaning of Maya slightly, "Oh, i'm sure you are."
Maya turned away from him, "I hate you."
Noah rolled his tongue on the inside of his cheek at the challenge, "I don't believe you."
Maya turned back to him.
"At least not from you did to me last night."
I choked on the food that was in my mouth. Luca and James laughed loudly. Ayla looked at me desperately.
"What?" Lili asked from down the table.
"Please don't!" Maya begged, her face getting more red by the second.
"Sorry kiddo." Luca laughed before explaining the situation the second half of the table. Most laughed, some others left their mouth open from shock, but soon followed the others.
"My first daughter is already married to a bloody Potter! Now my seconds with a Nott!" Dad complained.
"What about my daughter becoming a Malfoy?" Blaise rebutted.
"Amused Blaise? My son is perfect." Dad said smugly narrowing his eyes at Blaise.
"Déjà Vu." Blaise muttered rubbing his temples.
"I've all got it the worst!" Theo announced, "My only daughter, married a fucking Zabini."
Theo looked over to Luca who was smiling,
"No offence. This is aimed at your father." Theo added to a Luca.
"None taken." Luca sighed before snaking an arm around Aylas waist and pulling her closer to him.
"Anyone else like to announce that their shagging?" I asked the group of schoolers.
The first eyes to meet were Connor and Lilias. They both laughed when they made eye contact.
"Right, so we've got M'm with N'm, then 'the one who waved the fake want and broke a vase', with the baby Weasley. What about you two?" I looked at Alfie and Luci.
Alfie run his tongue against his teeth whilst smirking. His eyes flicked to a blushing Luci before looking back at me.
"You've got to be kidding me." James laughed looking at his younger sister.
Ayla turned to Maya, "Didn't want anyone better?" She questioned letting her gaze fall upon her smug brother.
My sister sighed, "Sadly, i've fallen for this one." Maya slung an arm over Noah's shoulder.
The boy looked around the group then back to Maya,
"Now i can kiss you in public." Noah smirked smothering the girl with kisses on her cheeks
"PDA." Luca fake gaged taring his eyes away from the pair.
Ayla slapped his arm, "You can talk, head pusher."
Lunas mouth dropped from beside a chucking Theo. Dad curled his lips into his mouth and closed his eyes not daring to laugh when sitting beside mum who went definitely slap him.
"Right. I most certainly know too much about all of your sex lives now." Ginny blinked not wanting to look at her son.
"Not around the kids". Was all mum could get out.
Dad uncurled his lips and turned to mum. "Your not new to that though. Why are you so awkward?"
I looked at the couple, bile climbing up my throat.
"Draco!" Mum scolded, her face going red. I looked away from them as mum quietly attacked dad like a child not wanting to draw more attention towards them.
James turned to me and leant down to my ear,
"How did they end together?"
I shook my head, "I couldn't tell you."
