Later Years
Chapter 1
Summer begins
~*~
Harry's life turned out for the best when he was 16. He had defeated Lord Voldmorte for the last time and saved to Wizarding world from the dark times. The bad part was, was that it cost a life in the process. Harry's Godfather Sirius was killed trying to save Harry's life. Voldemorte shot the killing curse at Harry but when it his him it turned out that it wasn't Harry. It was a replica with a rebound curse on it. The curse shot at Voldmorte and finally killing him.
Harry went threw a great loss but when one door closed a new one opened. Hermione. When Harry returned to Hogwarts Hermione was the first one there. The one person Harry cared for in his life. When she saw Harry walk into the hospital wing with cuts and other wounds on his body, she stayed by his side until he was able to leave.
That's how it happened, Harry was asleep… so she thought… and Hermione grabbed his hand and held it in hers. She spoke to him so softly telling him that if she could change anything it would be the suffering he went threw in his life, and that she loved him so much it hurt.
Harry lay there in the bed listing to every word she said, he didn't say anything he just squeezed her hand. Hermione looked at him with tears in her eyes, Harry opened his and looked right at her and said simply, 'I Love You'. That's all it took for Hermione to lean in and kiss him so softly but with so much passion that Harry could stay in that position forever. Harry told Hermione that he loved her from the first time they saw each other when they were eleven and that he wanted to be with her for as long as he could.
It's been that way for 10 years. He and Hermione married and made a beautiful family. They had three children, Chris, Brandon, and James. Harry and Hermione moved to the muggle world but still kept in the events that went on in the wizarding world. Harry was a doctor and the local Hospital and he was a community Firefighter. Hermione never liked the idea but Harry always told her that it was like he was giving back something to other people, something he couldn't explain.
Chris was sixteen and was the Quidditch Captain for the Gryffindor house team, and seeker (Just like dad), He had brown Hair like Hermione and Harry's messy trait, he also had Harry's green eyes, and Hermione's learning ability. He had a part-time job at a local restaurant as a busboy; He played football (Soccer for us American's) and a little bit of Rugby.
Brandon was 13 and in his third year at Hogwarts, he had black hair like his father but put dark read streaks in it, he had Hermione's brown eyes. He had his own little band called 'Counting the Days' and he was the drummer.
James was the youngest of the three; he was only 9 and didn't really do much. Harry and Hermione put him in the grade school in the muggle world because he showed a great interest in learning. He was the earliest talker out of the three and was able to read at the age of three. Brandon often teased James about always reading and not having any fun. He had hazel eyes and straight brown hair. Chris would often call him the odd ball of the family because he didn't look at all like Harry or Hermione.
James always looked up to Chris because he was always there then James need him. He would play small games of rugby with him and a little bit of football. He taught him how to play the guitar and a little bit of the piano. When ever Chris had to go somewhere for his parents he would ask James to come along. Hermione loved how Chris was always there to help out with James while she wasn't home.
Hermione worked in the wizarding world; she was an assistant Charm's teacher. She watched Professor Flitwick teach his classes and once and a while she would teach the class if Professor Flitwick had something else he needed to finish. She would come home each night for a while and visit James and Harry and talk about there day's while watching a little bit of television…
Ron was now married to Lavender and they had three children, Ste and Nick and Mandy.
Ste was sixteen, he was tall and strong, besides being the Gryffindor house team Keeper at school, he played rugby when he came home from the holidays in the summer. The thing with Ste was that he was his own person, he had brown eyes and brown Hair like his mother, but dyed it a dark Blue. Don't get him wrong he was the best kid in the world. Always help and doing his part when it was needed.
Nick was thirteen and just starting in his third year at Hogwarts. He was in Gryffindor with Brandon; they were practically attached to each other. Always getting into trouble, Harry and Ron would away say that they were a Fred and George. He was small for his age but he was tough. He was also in the band with Brandon he was a bass guitar and one of the singers. He had brown eye and red Hair like Ron. Most people would say that they were alike.
Mandy was 8 a year younger that James. She had long red hair and brown eyes. Everyday she would play with James and have little sleep over's when their parents went out to dinner.
Ron has a job at the Ministry working with the sports and tournament arraignments and Lavender is also working at Hogwarts as the Divination teacher. Apparently Professor Telawaney had to retire because she saw dark times ahead at the school and didn't want to end up with the fate of others. So Lavender took it.
*~Present time~*
Harry had just got up to take his shower and get ready for a new day at work. He walked into the bathroom to take a shower when he heard Hermione calling for him.
"Harry!" She yelled from down stair.
"Yea, Mione." He yelled from the bathroom.
"Could you bring down James's Rugby shirt… it's in the cloth's basket"?
"Yea." Harry walked over to the basket and picked up the blue and orange shirt and brought it down stairs to his wife.
When he walked into the kitchen Hermione was just starting to make a pot of coffee for Harry to take with him to work and was putting some toaster waffles into the toaster for James. She looked at Harry and put her hands on her hips.
"What?" Harry asked.
"Love the shirt." She said sarcastically.
Harry grinned, "Thanks I thought you'd like it…"
"Did you get in the shower yet?"
"Nope… I was about to but you asked for James's shirt, so I came down with it." Harry walked over to Hermione, she turned back to the coffee and Harry came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He kissed her cheek and asked her, "Shouldn't you be at the school? Today is the last day you need to be there."
"Yes, I'm leaving in a moment James needs a clean shirt. When you go back up stairs tell him I have a shirt for him." She said kissing him back.
"I like that better than the coffee." Harry said and he pulled her in for a long sweet kiss.
Hermione smiled while she was kissing Harry and she finally was able to get him off her she spoke up, "You… upstairs… now." She ordered.
"Alright I'm going." Harry said turning around and walking up stairs. He walked over to James's room and knocked on it.
"Come in" James's muffled voice came threw the door.
Harry opened the door and walked in. He saw James looking threw his dresser for a shirt he could wear. Harry snuck up on him and before James realized there was someone behind him, Harry grabbed him and started swinging him around, "Potter he's the snitch! He's going for it! Going! Going! AHHHHHHHH! IT'S ALL OVER! POTTER GOT IT! HE GOT THE SINTCH!! POTTER WINS THE GAME!! POTTER WINS THE GAME!!" Harry yelled as he swung James around.
"YEA! I WON THE GAME!!" James yelled as Harry set him down, "Dad you think I could be a seeker like you when I get to Hogwarts?" James asked him
"I think you would make a good seeker." Harry said rubbing James's hair, "Now get down stairs, your mother has your shirt and your breakfast ready when you finish washing up… Ok." Harry said to him
"Ok dad." Harry walked out of the room and went into his bedroom to get his cloths and take his shower.
When he got out he got dressed and washed up (Brush his teeth, and shave, TRY to manage his hair… No fight to be had there) and he went back down stairs to the kitchen. James was sitting at the table eating his waffles. Hermione saw him enter the kitchen and walked over to him.
"I'm off Dumbledore wants me to get there before the students start comeing in for breakfast." Hermione said to him, "I have you coffee in a small thermos and I have your suitcase over by the door, I'll see you when you get home tonight."
"Ok, good-bye honey." Harry kissed her briefly, since James was sitting there.
"Hermione was about to take the floo to Hogsmed when she looked at Harry and said to him, "I need to talk to you tonight."
"Ok, we'll talk tonight when I get home." Harry said.
Hermione yelled 'Hogwarts' and she was gone with a pop. Harry turned to James, "We'll leave in a few minuets ok… I'll get you to school and I can get to work."
"Ok dad." James said, stabbing his waffle with his fork.
Harry drove James to school and let him off, "I'll pick you up in front of the drop off at 3:30 ok." Harry said.
"Yup." James gave his dad a hug and a quick kiss and left the car.
Harry watched him until he reached his friends and he honked and drove off. He stopped at a drive threw place and grabbed a bagel to eat on his way to work. As he drove he turned on the radio to the WWN (Wizarding Wireless Network) He had Ron install it for him so he could get the news on what going on in the wizarding world.
When he got to work he walked to his office in dropped off his briefcase. He walked to his closet and took out his jacket and slipped it on. He walked back out to the front desk and picked up the clipboard with his appointments.
"Alicia is my one o'clock comeing in or did she cancel?" Harry asked, "I don't see the name on here."
"Oh yes, she called and said that it turned out to be a 24 hour thing and that if it came back she would call for another appointment." Alicia said to him.
"Ok… well it looks like I have at least a half hour to get some of yesterday's paperwork done. I'll be in my office if. Just page me when my 8:00 come in."
"Yes Mr. Potter"
Harry walked into his office and sat at his desk. He pulled out a folder from his desk that had papers in it about symptoms of people and medicine prescriptions from patients. He started on a ten-year-old boy names Alex who was getting reoccurring stomach aches. He just started working when a knock came to his door.
"Yes, come in." Harry said not taking his eyes off his paper work.
The door opened and another doctor came in. Harry picked up his head for a second to see who it was, and when he saw who it was he dropped his pen and looked at her.
"What do you want Mary?" He said rubbing his sinuses
"Harry…" Mary said leaning on his desk, "Come on just one night that's all I'm asking for. One night, and I promise you'll never want to leave." Mary said seductively leaning in to his ear, "It would be worth it…" And she kissed the back of his ear.
Harry pushed her away and got up from his desk and put his hands on it looking at her, "For the last time NO, I'm married and I have kids."
"What is it with you and your damn family!"
"One I love my kids, two I love my wife, and three I think you're a slut!" Harry said, "Now if you don't mind I have work to get done… I would appreciate it if you leave… now."
Mary looked at Harry with shock on her face, "Well you don't have to be so rude." She smirked as she left.
"With you I do." Harry said.
Mary walked out the door and when she slammed the door the paintings on the wall shook vigorously.
~At Hogwarts~
Hermione arrived in the Great Hall just as the students were comeing in. She looked over in the corner and saw that Chris was talking to a girl that Hermione figured was his girlfriend.
"Kat, I don't want you to go home this summer. When I get those letters from you and I hear what your father is doing to you… Last Summer I punched a hole in my wall and my dad had to come and make me stop." Chris grabbed her hand.
"But Chris I don't have anywhere else to go… Tiffany is going to Ireland with her parents to see her grandparents for a family reunion and Amanda is going away for the summer to Rome to spend time with her brother." Kat explained.
Chris looked into her eyes; he could look at her for hours and still never get bored. Kat was a Gryffindor with Chris; She had strawberry blond hair and an almond color in her eyes. She was also on the Quidditch team as a chaser.
"Come home with me." Chris said to her.
Kat looked at him going wide-eyed, "How…I-I can't," She said.
"Why not… all's I have to do is ask my mom, she already knows what's happening, she wants to help just as much." Chris embraced her in a hug, "Please." He whispered in her ear.
Kat thought for a moment and she looked at him, "What will I tell my father?"
"The truth… You're not coming home your spending the summer with me and my family." Chris kissed her quickly, "Stay here… I'll go ask my mom right now." Chris left Kat in the corner and ran up to the head table to where his mother was sitting.
Hermione saw him come running up to her, "Chris is something wrong?" she asked concerned.
"No… nothing at all… Mom I'm gonna ask you something but I need you to think about it before answering." Chris said looking at his mother.
"Ok, tell me." She said looking at him.
"Could it be possible for Kat to stay with us for the summer?"
Hermione looked at him and then at Kat who was still in the corner talking to Ste, "Well right now I know that Ste, Nick, and Mandy are comeing to stay with us for the summer because Ron is going to the states for some sort of convention for the Ministry, and Lavender is going to her parents. So all the kids are staying with us, and Brandon's band friends are staying for the summer. So I guess it would be ok, your father would love to meet her… From what I told him about her."
Chris almost jumped across the table at his mother but instead he put on some self control and just reached across and gave her a bone crushing hug, "Mom you the best! I love you so much" He said releasing his mother and running back down to tell Kat she was comeing home with him.
Hermione once again was looking around the Great Hall looking at the students talking to their friends. She happened to glance over to find Brandon and saw him with some of his friends that were in his band. They seemed to be writing a new song, which meant she would be hearing it when they go home.
"Ok you guys you all have your stuff so you can just floo with me and my bro and mom right?" Brandon asked.
"Dude calm down… lets just get these lyrics down." Nick said giving Brandon the pen, "I just thought of the chorus…"
Brandon took the paper and looked at the song and kind of sang it trying to find the music it would harmonize with.
Always see it on TV or read it in the magazines
Celebrities want sympathy
All they do is piss and moan inside the Rolling Stone
Talking about how hard life can be
I'd like to see them spend the week livin' life out on the street
I don't think they would survive
If they could spend a day or two walking in someone else's shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall
They would fall (fall)
"That's good, you said you have the chorus." Brandon asked.
"Yea man here I'll sing it out…"
Chorus:
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
They're always complaining, always complaining
If money is such a problem
Well they got mansions
Think we should rob them.
Brandon looked at him and quickly wrote them down, "Dude that was wicked!" He said slapping him a high five, "dude where's Alexia? From what I heard she's gonna enter the contest too."
"Yea she is… Kristin was telling me about it… she said that Alexia is really good. Singin' some song called Skater boi" Bret said.
Bret was the lead guitar for their band, he had chestnut hair and gray eyes, and he was the second cutest guy in their ear. He was a beater for the Gryffindor house team and played football at home… He was on Chris's football team, and he liked to do moto-cross.
Brandon was about to say something when Dumbledore stood and asked for silence. Everyone sat down at their house table and looked at the headmaster.
"Once again, another fine year has gone by, First I would like to congratulate Gryffindor on there winning the Quidditch cup for a consecutive 15th year in a row… making a new record for winning the cup. Now with nothing more to say I would like to announce the house cup winner. In fourth place Ravenclaw with 210 house points, in third Slytherin with 289 house points, in Second place Huffelpuff with 443 house points, and in first place Gryffindor with 587 house points." Everyone howled with yells and clapping as seeing the Gryffindor's winning the house cup instead of Slytherin. Last year Slytherin won the house cup with 439 house points leaving Gryffindor in second with 438 house points.
Dumbledore waited for the clapping and cheering to die down before he continued with his speech, "Well done Gryffindor, well done. Know to get one with my business, I would like to saw farewell to our 7th year's you served us well in you time here and we hope that you succeed out in the real world (Claps for the seventh years lasted a while with people yelling out names and causing a bit of laughter), now may our feast begin!"
The whole hall filled with assortments of food and drinks and everyone started to chat and joke with each other. Everything was going great the teachers were talking with each other and the students were talking about there summer plans when seventh year Ravenclaw Eddie Rafter yelled "FOOD FIGHT!" next thing you knew the whole hall was throwing food at each other.
Hermione looked at the scene and a flash came to her when in her seventh year when Harry was the one who called the food fight and dropped a huge bowl of scrambled eggs in her head. Lavender nudged her in the side and Hermione came back to the real world and looked at her.
"What is it Lav?" Hermione asked.
Lavender didn't say anything, she just picked up a bowl of eggs and dumped it on Hermione's head and started laughing heartily. Half the kids in the hall broke out into laughter as they saw the teacher covered in eggs. Soon after Hermione laughed with the rest of them but was able to grab a jug of milk and dump the whole thing on Lavenders head causing another round of laughter from the students.
At the end of the feast everyone said their good-byes and got on the train. Chris and Kat wrote to Kat's father and told him that she wouldn't be comeing home. When they sent it off they went to the entrance in the Great hall and got ready to go back home for the summer. Hermione guided them to Hogsemed and took them to the Three Broomsticks, she waited for all of them to get a chance at the floo and then she went herself. When they got back to Harry and Hermione's house Chris showed Kat to her room, she would be sharing with Mandy since there weren't enough rooms for everyone, and Brandon showed Bret, Nick, and Boomer where they would be staying. Ste just went up to Chris's room and put down his stuff next to the bunk bed and went back down stairs.
As soon as Brandon and his friends put there stuff in there room's they grabbed there skate boards and went to go hand out at the local music store to look at some of the equipment that they wanted to win.
There was a contest for amateur groups or singers, and the winner would win a whole new set of band equipment and a free recording at a studio down town and get a bunch of CD's made for people to buy. Brandon and his friends were going to attend it.
Chris, Ste, and Kat decided to go see a movie that was comeing out today at the cinema; the name of the movie it Halloween Resurrection. Chris asked for the keys to his mom's Ford Focus, and she gave them to him. After they went out Hermione went up to the bedroom and went into the bathroom and took a long bath.
~'*'~
By the time noon came Harry couldn't wait to get out to lunch. Mary wouldn't stop hounding while he was trying to do his work. As soon as his watch beeped he closed up his office and told Alicia that he was leaving for lunch. Harry walked out of the doctor's office to his car and decided to go home for lunch. He got home to see that Hermione's car was gone but the door was open. He figured that either Hermione was home or the kids where home.
He walked in the door and yelled, "Mione? Kids?"
"In here, hun!" Hermione yelled.
Harry walked into the den to see Hermione working on the computer, "Hey, you guys are home already, where's the kids?" He asked.
"Brandon and his friends went to the music store and Chris, Ste, and Kat went out for the day." She said.
"Kat?" Harry asked, "You mean Chris's girlfriend Kat."
"Yes, Chris asked me if Kat could stay for the summer so she wouldn't have to go and stay with her father, and I said yes." Hermione explained.
"OH, ok well at least I'll be able to meet her." Harry sat on the couch and took off his shoes, "I guess this going to be a full house for the summer huh?"
Hermione smiled, "Yes it is… But think of it as a way, now we have three sitters instead of one."
"I knew I married the smart one." Harry laughed.
"And you made the right choice."
"Oh god, getting on the subject of marry," Harry said
Hermione rolled her eyes and kept typing, "Not again."
"Yup, she came into the my office today, telling me 'give me just one night and you'll never want to go back home.'" Harry said in his best impression of a female.
Hermione looked at him seriously, "Harry, you wouldn't really do that would you?"
Harry looked at her, he got up from his spot walked over to her, "Get up," He said.
Hermione got up and Harry cupped her face with his hands and kissed her softly getting more passionate. When they broke apart he looked her in the eye, "If that doesn't tell you how I feel, then you don't deserve me." Hermione dropped from his gaze, "Hermione…" He said lifting her face with his fingers, "I could never love anyone but you." Hermione lent in and kissed him with tears running down her face, Harry pulled her into a hug. They just sat there like that for a while when they heard the door open.
"Mom" Chris yelled down the hall.
"I'm in the den Chris." She yelled back wiping the tears away.
Chris walked into he den with Ste and Kat. Harry looked at them, "Hey Ste, how's things?" Harry asked.
"Great, you?" Ste asked.
"I've been practicing my basketball… you know the tournament at work."
"Nice to see you to dad." Chris said.
Harry looked at him, "Erm, do I know you?"
"Daddd" He wined.
"Ahh im just playing with ya! Come here pal." Chris walked over to his father and gave him a hug, "How was school this year? You mother tells me that you might get the Head Boy."
"Yea, I'm up in that circle." He said.
Harry nodded and then looked at the girl next to Ste, "And who is this?" Harry asked.
"Dad I would like you to meet Kat, Kat Malfoy."
A/n: Wow! Where did that one come from? I sure don't know… well hope you like the next chapter will be up within the week if ff.net lets me put it up and is working properly. Please r/r!
