I’ve never used a diary before; I’ve always thought it to be far too girly. And of course, after the event in my first year I barely ‘looked’ at diaries without shuddering. Anyways, I’ve decided that I’d better start using one! So, I’ll start at the beginning.



Harry Potter – considered to be the greatest wizard of all time – defeated Voldemort. But, of course, everyone expected that. They all thought it would be easy for him; after all, he defeated him once before when he couldn’t even talk. I would like to see them go through that! It was at the graveyard – Riddle’s grave yard. The battle went on all day, hundreds died, but in the end Harry used the unforgivable killing curse, and the one person that everyone feared, fell. I think even his ‘loyal’ Death Eaters were glad to see him bite the dust. The war ended with those two simple words and a flash of brilliant white light.



Every single person on that battle field was in shock. The war had taken its toll on Harry, though. It nearly killed him. He was instantly rushed to St. Mungo’s extensive care unit. You should have seen the look on the Healer’s faces when we walked in. It was a mixture of fear and joy. They had been forewarned about the battle and that many would be coming in, but they hadn’t ever been updated on the battle. Ron finally told the large crowd of our victory. I think they would have screamed with joy and brought out the Firewhiskey if Mad-Eye hadn’t lost his temper and told them ‘you take care of this boy or there will be another battle conveniently held in a hospital’. Looking back on it, it was pretty funny but at the time I was scared to death, and probably ‘more’ than willing to duel with a bunch Healers if they didn’t help my fiancé!



Two weeks later Harry was released from St. Mungo’s. I swear I’ve never seen him so happy in my entire life. Voldemort was gone and he was free to live a normal life. Well, almost normal. He couldn’t leave the Burrow without someone jumping on him begging for autographs and practically worshipping him. Actually, no one could leave the Burrow – for that same reason. We had to get Order members to buy food and other essentials for several months. And, the greatest moment of my life was also held at the Burrow. Our wedding (which was a double wedding with Ron and Hermione) was on the 31st of December, 1999 in the backyard of my childhood home. Immediately after the wedding an house elf came to the Burrow, his name was Biddy. All he said was ‘it has been passed on to your inheritance’ to Harry. Nobody had a clue what he was talking about, but we soon found out. Biddy snapped his fingers and Harry and I were in a very large dining hall. ‘Potter Manor has been passed on to your inheritance’ Biddy repeated. That was two months ago! Now to start the new Millennium (it’s currently February 28th) I have good news for my husband, I’m just not sure how to tell him.



“Ginny?� Harry asked as he opened the front door.



“I’m in the Library!� Ginny called out as she closed the tiny diary that she had randomly grabbed from the bookshelf.



“Hey Gin,� Harry said as he walked into the large Library. He quickly pulled her off of the couch and kissed her passionately. “What’s on your mind?� he asked, concerned.



Ginny sighed and smiled happily. “I’ve been thinking of ways to tell you this all day and nothing sounds right, so I decided that I would just come right out and tell you. But then I thought that that wasn’t very romantic and then I got side tracked and…I don’t know, how should I tell you?� she rambled.



Harry laughed and sat on the dark purple couch pulling Ginny down to sit next to him.



“So…how should I tell you?� Ginny asked biting her bottom lip. After half a second of her husband not replying she sighed again and rolled her eyes. “I’m Pregnant,� she said grinning.



Harry sat shocked for a second but then a huge grin came to his face and he pulled Ginny to her feet swinging her around before setting her firmly on her feet and kissing her again.





***



“Harry…Ginny…� A voice called from down the hall. It was six-thirty in the morning and Ginny and Harry were still in bed.



Ginny groaned and shook her husbands shoulder, “Harry, wake up! Your mother-in-law is in the fire.�



Harry crawled out of bed and left the room yawning.



“GINNY GET YOU’RE BUTT OUT OF BED! Oh, good morning, Harry,� Molly Weasley said as he walked into the upstairs study and seen Mrs. Weasley’s head in the fire.



“Morning mum,� Harry mumbled trying desperately to rub the sleep out of his eyes.



“Victoria’s in labour and Charlie wanted me to tell everyone,� she said quickly.



“I’ll go wake Ginny and we’ll be over at the Burrow in ten minutes,� Harry said excitedly as he left the room.



“What did she want?� Ginny asked as Harry came back into the Master Bedroom.



“Toria is at the hospital.�



Ginny jumped out of bed and quickly got dressed. “Ginny gets to be an aunt, Ginny gets to be an aunt…� she sang as she danced in a circle.



Harry laughed as he watched his wife dance around the room. “You’re already an aunt, Ginny.�



“I know…Ginny gets to be an aunt…again.�



“Ginny gets to be a mum,� Harry chanted.



Ginny grinned and started dancing again, “Ginny gets to be a mum.�



“Come on, your mother is probably wondering where we are,� Harry said as he slid his hand around Ginny’s waist. “Biddy!�



“Yes, Master Potter?� the small elf said as he appeared in front of the two.



“We are going over to the Burrow and won’t be eating breakfast.�



Biddy nodded and disappeared. Ginny smiled. Biddy was wearing black and silver robes with the Potter family crest on the upper right hand side. It was Hermione’s idea at first to free all of the elves, but just the thought of it put most of the elves in hysterics. Harry and Ginny had forced the elves to agree to wearing descent clothes, accepting two galleons a month, and taking holidays often.



The Burrow was crowded when Harry and Ginny arrived.



“Hey, Ron…Hermione,� Harry said as he sat down next to them.



Molly bustled into the room. She was beaming from ear to ear as she walked across the room. The fire crackled and Bill and Fleur appeared in the fire place with six month old Russell. Molly stepped forward and took her only grandchild in her arms and sat down in a chair opposite from Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny. Harry noticed Ginny staring at her nephew, smiling slightly. Molly glanced up, catching her gaze. She looked at her curiously for a moment and then grinned.



Charlie Apparated into the center of the room causing everyone to fall silent. “Chance and Toria can have visitors,� he said, grinning.





***





“Oh, he’s so cute,� Ginny exclaimed as she held the tiny baby wrapped in blue blankets. “The twenty-ninth of February,� Ginny said her chocolate brown eyes sparkling as she watched him sleep. “What were the chances of that?�



“One out of one thousand four hundred and sixty one,� Hermione chanted.



Ron snorted, “Lucky chance.�



“Chance! I guess you’re all decided on that,� Toria laughed.



“Chance Dallen Weasley.�



“I can’t wait until we have kids, Hermione,� Ron said peering over his sister’s shoulder at the sleeping Chance.



Ginny noticed Hermione smile and quickly look at the floor. “Hermione,� Ginny whispered in her ear. “Are you…�



Hermione looked up and grinned and gave a slight nod. Ginny tried desperately to contain a squeal and jumped up and down with Chance still in her arms.



“Ginny!� Molly scolded as she snatched her grandson out of her daughter’s arms.



“You haven’t told Ron yet, have you?� Ginny asked with an eyebrow raised.



“No…� Hermione said looking at the floor again.



“I told Harry as soon as I found out,� Ginny whispered quickly. Hermione quickly snapped her head up; Ginny scrunched up her face and took a huge intake of breath.



“You are?� Hermione squealed as she grabbed her sister-in-law’s arms and danced in a circle.



“What did I miss?� Ron asked dumbfounded. Hermione grinned and jumped on her husband kissing him lightly on the lips.



Ginny stood beside Harry grinning ecstatically.



“I think I have missed something!� Ron said firmly.



“You have,� Hermione stated matter-of-factly. Ron raised his eyebrows and Hermione continued, “We are going to have kids Ronald!�



“I know,� Ron stated bluntly.



“No…I mean I’m pregnant!�



Molly squealed and rushed to Hermione, giving her a bone-crushing hug. “I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!� she said as she pulled Ron into the hug as well.



“How did you know?� Hermione asked after she had escaped her grasp.



“I had seven children, dear, I can see the glow!� Molly said with a smile on her face. Still grinning, Molly turned towards Ginny and gave her a wink.



“Alright…� Ginny started. “Since everyone’s already here...� she continued stopping briefly to glance at Harry who nodded and she continued. “We are too,� she said nervously







A/N: So what did you think? Is it worth continuing? I already have five chapters written but I'm not sure if I should try and commit myself to two stories. Please leave a review and tell me what you think

“Ginny…� Harry’s voice called from across the room. Ginny rolled over and pulled the blankets over the top of her head. “Ginny, you have to get up. You have an appointment at St. Mungo’s.�

“Oh,� Ginny groaned rolling out of bed. “Remind me why we scheduled a morning appointment?� she moaned as she pulled her bath robe over her shoulders.

“Because, Ginny, Hermione insists that sleeping in is not well for a baby and you were the one who wanted to do this the same day.�

“Oh yeah,� Ginny said. Harry sighed and glanced at the alarm clock on the night stand. It’s too early, he sighed as he seen the bright red letters reading 5:30.

“Far too early,� Ginny mumbled with a tooth brush in her mouth.


***


“Hi Ginny, Harry,� Hermione said happily, grinning at the two. Ginny yawned and hugged her best friend and brother.

It had been four months since Ginny and Hermione had found out that they were pregnant. The two seemed to constantly be happy and were always talking about babies.

“This is so cool,� Hermione continued, “we get to raise our babies together!�

“Mm hmm,� Ginny sighed as she tried desperately to rub the sleep from her eyes.

“Oh really, Ginny, you should be awake and energetic…it’s better for the baby!�

“Hermione,� Ginny said waking up more. “It’s six thirty in the morning and I don’t think that I’m having just one baby…I have the right to be tired.� Ginny had looked nine-months pregnant already and was constantly being asked when she was due; everyone looked shocked when she told them ‘the end of November’.

Hermione grinned even more (if that was possible) and said, “Well…we’re not going to tell you anything until after your appointment.�

“What?� Ginny said, glaring at her best friend. “You tell me, Hermione Weasley,� Ginny said with her arms folded.

“Nope…you’re going to be late for your appointment!� Hermione said as she pushed Ginny and Harry towards the front desk.

“Good morning, may I help you,� the lady at the desk asked.

“Er…we have an appointment,� Harry said after he realized his wife wouldn’t reply.

“Name?�

“Potter,� Harry said quickly.

“Right this way Mrs. Po…Your Harry Potter!?� she shrieked as she stared intently at his forehead.

“Yeah…� Harry mumbled. “If you don’t mind…�

“HARRY POTTER!� a young girl shrieked from the huge green sofas in the center of the round room.

“Oh no,� Ginny muttered as she grabbed her husband and the lady both by the sleeves and quickly shuffled towards the hallway.

“Harry Potter!� A teenage girl cried out. “Are you the Harry Potter? You simply ‘must’ sign my wand!�

“Your wand?� Harry asked looking at her outstretched hand and wand.

“Yes.�

“Oh, sign mine, too…and this,� another girl exclaimed thrusting an autograph book in his hands.

“How did you do it?� a thirty year old man asked. “How did you defeat You-Know-Who?�

“Voldemort?� Harry asked smirking when the entire crowd gasped.

“How can you speak his name…I mean, he killed your parents...your friends.�

“I know,� Harry said with his teeth clenched. “Voldemort is dead, saying his name won’t bring him back.�

“I wish I could have fought at the battle,� a boy that Harry recognized from Hogwarts mumbled.

Harry rolled his eyes and followed his wife through the hallway. “Do you think Ron and Hermione were attacked like that?� Harry said with a smirk on his face as he imagined Ron blushing the colour of his hair and signing peoples’ foreheads.

“Nope…� Ginny said smiling. “You’re Harry Potter!� she squealed in perfect imitation of Harry’s screaming fans.

“Ha ha,� Harry mocked. “Where are we going?� he asked as he turned to the other lady. The blonde haired lady was barely conscious of anything around her and was staring dreamily at Harry, reminding Ginny a lot of Luna. “Er…�

“Oh, er… this way,� she said looking down at the ground to hide her blush. “I’m Sierra Star,� she said quickly, which only made her blush more. Ginny glared absentmindedly at the girl and continued down the hall.

“The healer will be with you shortly, Harry,� Sierra said her eyes firmly glued on him.

“This is my wife, by the way, Ginny…Ginny Potter!� Harry said.

“Oh, of course, the famous Ginny Weasley_�

“Potter,� Ginny corrected.

“Yes, that’s what I said!� Sierra snapped as she left the room.


***


“October 31st,� Harry groaned as he rolled out of bed. He bent over and gently kissed his wife on her forehead. “Three more weeks,� he said brightly, trying to forget the date.

“It’s a good day, Harry!� Ginny said with her eyes still closed. “The world has been Voldemort free for a year…�

“Yeah,� Harry said. It had also been the day that Voldemort killed his parents nineteen years ago.

Harry smiled as he watched his wife struggle out of bed. She was due in four weeks and had been larger than Hermione since July. Harry smiled. His best friends would be having their twins any time now. Harry bent over and tried to help his wife.

“Harry…I’m only pregnant…I can manage getting out of bed on my own!� Ginny snapped.

“I know Ginny…but you’re supposed to be on bed rest,� Harry said smirking at his stubborn wife, reminding Harry a lot of a zombie.

“Hmph,� Ginny exclaimed as she staggered to the bathroom her arms resting over her stomach.

Harry flopped on the bed and stared at the light blue ceiling. Ginny had insisted on ‘making an appearance’ at the Burrow that day. Mrs. Weasley had decided to start a tradition

“Er…Harry?� Ginny asked in a frantic tone from the bathroom.

“What?� Harry sat up and stared at the door, knowing that Ginny would open it.

Ginny opened the door and poked her head through. “I think we had better get to St. Mungo’s,� Ginny said, smiling slightly. Harry jumped frantically off of the bed and rushed towards the dresser.


***


“May I help you?� the lady at the desk said politely not looking up from her book. Harry realized that it was the same lady that had been there in June, Sierra.

“My wife’s in labour,� Harry said quickly.

“Please take a number,� Sierra mono-toned.

“WHAT!?� Harry shrieked.

Sierra sat unmoved with her nose still in the book. “I’m sorry sir, but it is a holiday and many of the healers are on vacation,� she said calmly before popping a huge bubble of Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum.

“I KNOW!� Harry yelled. “I MADE IT A BLOODY HOLIDAY!�

Sierra snapped her head up and looked at Harry in shock.

“My wife is in labour,� Harry added in the calmest voice possible. “She needs a Medi-Witch, NOW!�

“Yes sir,� Sierra muttered quietly as she pressed a shiny purple button on her desk.

Immediately, three healers came running into the room. “What’s the emergency?� the tallest asked as he brushed what looked like cookie crumbs off of his robes. “Hello, I’m Healer Sterling,� he said after noticing Harry in front of him. “Blimey…are you…Harry Potter?�

Harry glared. “My wife is in labour…� he said through clenched teeth. “I don’t care if I’m ‘Harry Potter’…� he said with no attempts to constrain his temper.

“Harry…� Ginny shouted, gripping the counter so hard her knuckles we’re losing their colour. “…Shut up!�

“Right this way, Mrs. Potter,� a kind yet very frail and wrinkly old lady said calmly as she pushed a levitating chair under Ginny.


***


“Hermione…What are you doing?� Ron asked. Hermione had been pacing through the waiting room since they had arrived. Usually Hermione never walked around more than she had to, insisting that the twins didn’t like much movement.

Hermione turned and glared at her husband before continuing to pace the room holding her ‘very’ pregnant stomach for support.

It was noon before anything else had happened. All of the girls were sitting on the edge of their seats in dead silence, continuously shooting daggers at their husbands who had become restless with the wait and began playing Wizard’s Chess. Hermione jumped to her feet and stared down the hallway as she noticed Harry approaching tiredly.

By the time that Harry had made it to the room everyone had grown silent again. Harry smiled.

“How is Ginny?� Ron asked quickly.

“She’s sleeping,� Harry yawned.

“How are the_� Mrs. Weasley started.

“They’re all healthy,� Harry said smiling to himself. “The Medi-Witch said that you can see them all now.�

“Have you picked names yet?� Hermione asked as the others shuffled to their feet excitedly.

“Yeah…we have,� Harry grinned.

“And?� Molly asked as the large group opened the door into Ginny’s room.

“Ginny’s holding James, Sirius and Albus,� Harry said.

“Triplets?!� Hermione exclaimed as she waddled over to her sister in-law and three new nephews. “And here I thought that I having twins was difficult.�

“I thought you two were dead set against not having triplets,� Ron smirked at his best friend.

“We didn’t have triplets…� Ginny said trying desperately to stay awake.

“Cedric and Lily both had problems breathing,� A young healer said as she walked into the room. She was staring at a clipboard and hadn’t noticed the others in the room. “They should be released in a two weeks at most.�

“Lily and Cedric?� Arthur asked. “But that would make five!�

“You two are going to become very famous for having the first set of magical quintuplets born in Britain for over five hundred years, Mr. and Mrs. Po_� she jerked her head up and stared at Harry for a moment. “Merlin,� she said smiling. “This is a very lucky day for you, Mr. Potter,� she chuckled.

Harry sighed happily after he realized that she wasn’t a crazy fan.

“You two can take James, Sirius and Albus home in a few days if you wish,� she said glancing down at the papers to read their names. She still did not notice the rest of the family in the room.

“What about Cedric and Lily?� Molly gasped thinking how horrible it would be to leave her grandson and very first granddaughter in the hospital alone.

“Er…they will be fine,� the healer said shocked to realize that there were at least fifteen others in the room. “They will probably be strong enough to go on their own in a week.�

Ginny sighed and rolled over in her bed to face Harry who was in the chair beside her. “You should go home and get some sleep, Harry,� Ginny said yawning. She had only just woken up and was still exhausted. Neither she nor Harry were expecting five babies. They had sworn that it was only twins and couldn’t even be triplets.

“I wouldn’t be able to sleep anyways,� Harry yawned. He noticed that he still had Albus in his arms. Albus Ronald Potter already had an unruly tuft of red hair and seemed to be the calmest of the three.

Ginny smiled as she noticed her husband staring at their fourth child. Sighing, Ginny turned over and closed her eyes in attempt to sleep again. Ginny grunted in protest and threw the hospital blankets off of her self to stand up.

Harry looked up at her curiously. “Can’t sleep?� he asked with one eyebrow raised.

“Ruddy mattress is too hard,� she mumbled as she stood up. Instantly she threw her hands out to steady her self as she felt her head spin in circles.

“Are you alright?� Harry asked as he helped his wife sit back down.

“I’m fine…just a little dizzy.�

“No wonder, you just gave birth to five babies. You just relax and I can get you anything you need. Besides, the Healers have insisted that you remain in bed,� Harry said smiling as he pushed Ginny’s fiery red hair back behind her ear.

“I just wanted to hold one of the babies,� Ginny sighed glancing across the room at the three bassinets against the wall with small colourful magical devices monitoring their breathing. Harry grinned and placed the peacefully sleeping Albus in her arms. A few moments later James started screaming and had efficiently awoken Sirius in the process. Harry sighed and crossed the room to his sons. I had best get used to this, he told himself as he scooped one up in each arm.

Harry set Sirius in Ginny’s lap and sat down beside her on the bed. Sirius and James both had jet black hair and both fussed quite often.

“Harry,� Ginny mumbled.

“Hmm?�

“I want to hold my other son and my only daughter!� she whispered. “Do you think we could go and see them?�

“I’m sure we can…we are their parents,� Harry grinned.

“Good,� Ginny said happily as she handed Sirius back to Harry and threw the blankets off of her self yet again.

“Ginny,� Harry scolded softly. “You are supposed to stay in bed!�

“I know…I don’t care,� Ginny said as she stood up slowly.


“I thought you were to remain in bed,� one of the Healers said with an eyebrow raised as the two walked down the hall; Harry levitating a small woven basket with the three boys in front of them.

“Er…Yes…but I feel fine! Besides Harry is helping me, so I don’t think anything will happen to me,� Ginny said quickly as Harry beamed at the young healer. “Could you point us in the direction of the nursery?�

“I’m guessing you two want to go and visit the other two?� Healer Macintosh asked smiling as she realised that nothing was going to keep them in their room. “They’re doing a lot better. They are both still on Magical Breathing assistance, but they are doing rather well. Oh, er…down this hall and to the right,� she said pointing down the dimly lit hall.

Ginny grinned and slowly walked down the hall and into the nursery clutching onto Harry’s left arm, pretending to use his assistance for balance. Harry carefully directed his wand and the bassinet to the floor.

“Aww,� Ginny exclaimed as she stopped next to the two bassinets that she automatically knew were her own children.

“May I help you?� a young lady asked from the shadows. “You must be Mr. and Mrs. Potter,� she said as she walked up to them.

“Yes,� Harry said quickly.

“Cedric and Lily are doing really well. Cedric might have breathing problems – but nothing too serious. They’re both really small, but of course that is expected with having quintuplets. If you have any questions I’ll be in my office,� she said pointing behind her.

“They’re so small,� Ginny gasped as she knelt down next to Lily’s bassinet and laid her fingers against the glass over the top of her only daughter. Both


***


Ginny groaned as she sat up on the hospital mattress the next morning. She could see Harry across the room sitting in the chair with a navy blue bundle in his arms. Ginny stretched her arms above her head and walked over to scoop Sirius our of her husband’s lap. The two had been up half the night trying to get James and Sirius to stop crying and occasionally Albus would wake up and join in on the fit.

Sirius had his big eyes open and was staring at his mother. Ginny recognized his green eyes.

“And to think…�Harry mumbled. “We only managed three of them last night…� he said grinning. “Maybe Cedric and Lily will be more like Albus,� he sighed.

“Shall I go and get us some breakfast?� Harry asked yawning.

“I’ll come with you!� Ginny said quickly. Placing the wide eyed Sirius into the woven traveling basket with a breathing monitor hooked up to it and crossed the room to pull on a pair of faded jeans.


***


“Ginny, Harry, there you two are,� Molly Weasley called across the visitor waiting room.

“Mum?� Ginny asked startled. “What are you doing here?�

Mrs. Weasley smiled ecstatically. “Hermione went into labour this morning.�

Ginny squealed, forgetting all about her hunger.

“She was only in labour for twenty minutes.�

“Lucky!� Ginny exasperated.

“Ron and Hermione now have two charming boys,� Molly beamed.

“Weasleys,� Harry heard Bill mutter sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.

“Which room are they in?� Ginny asked excitedly.

“The one right next to yours,� Mrs. Weasley said.

Ginny squealed again and ran down the hall chanting ‘Ginny is an aunt’.


***


“Hermione!� Ginny exclaimed after she had realized her best friend was awake. “Congratulations! I’m so sorry…I didn’t even know until two minutes ago. I should have known! I should have_�

“Ginny, calm down,� Ron whispered.

“You’re fine Gin…how were you possibly supposed to know?� Hermione added in a quiet voice. It was then that Ginny noticed Ron and Hermione were both holding a baby. Ginny contained a squeal and took the boy out of Ron’s arms.

“Aww, he’s so cute…he’s got your face Ron!� Ginny said as the others walked into the room. “Now will you tell us what you plan on naming them?� Ginny asked beaming at her brother and best friend.

Hermione smirked. They had refused to tell anyone what they planned on naming their children until they were born. “Ginny, you’re holding Holden and I’ve got Reese,� Hermione answered, trying desperately to keep her eyes open.

“Oh, Hermione,� Mrs. Weasley said concernedly. “You had best get some rest.�


***


Hermione and Ginny were the only ones left in the room. Hermione had fallen asleep hours ago but Ginny had insisted on staying in her room until she woke up. Ginny was silently nodding off to sleep when she heard one of the babies beside her start to cry.

“Oh, James, you fuss too much,� Ginny whispered as she lifted him up. It was two in the afternoon and Ginny had been in the room with Hermione all that day. Occasionally one of the five babies in the room would start crying and Ginny would quiet them quickly so as to not wake the other babies or Hermione.

“Can I hold him?� Hermione asked just waking up. “Who is it?� she said rubbing her eyes.

“It’s James…� Ginny said. “Sirius will start in a moment, though,� Ginny added only a moment before Sirius started screaming.

“This is really cool, Ginny. We get to raise our children together. All seven of them will be so close.�

“Yup, the two of us tied with my mum and dad in two days. It took them thirteen years!� Ginny giggled. The two talked quietly until they heard a knock on the door. The door opened revealing the healer from the nursery.

“Mrs. Potter…I hoped I might find you in here…� she said smiling at the two friends. Ginny stood up.

“Cedric is strong enough to breathe on his own now.�

“And Lily?� Hermione asked concerned.

“She’s been steady for two hours,� the healer said.

“Thank you so much, Healer,� Ginny said to the young lady before she left. “I guess I had better go and find Harry,� she said as she switched children with Hermione.

“I’ll come with you,� Hermione said. “Besides, these mattresses are rocks.�

Levitating two baskets in front of them, the two talked happily as they walked down the hall towards the visitor waiting room where they found Harry and Ron playing Wizard’s Chess.

“Shh,� Ginny whispered as she placed the basket with James, Sirius and Albus on the ground next to Hermione. Slowly, she tip-toed towards her husband.

Harry jumped and whipped his wand out as Ginny grabbed his shoulders and said ‘Potter’ in her lowest voice. Ron screamed and fell off of the sofa sending Hermione into a fit of giggles.

“GINNY! You nearly gave me a heart attack!� Ron said blushing furiously.

“That was priceless!� Hermione said coming up behind them.

“The nursery healer says that Cedric and Lily are breathing on their own…� Ginny said tugging on Harry’s sleeve. “Come on, I want to go hold my babies,� Ginny whined.



Author's Notes: Currently I'm writing the sixth chapter of this story and I need your advice: As I have it written now this would be the last chapter where the seven kids are young. I originally had it written that the fourth chapter would automatically jump to their eleventh birthday, but then my younger sisters were complaining about them 'growing up to fast'. So...what do you think? I've started writing a chapter 3 1/2 for my sister and so far I'm quite pleased with it, but I'm not sure if I should submit it or not. Please tell me what you think in a review

Harry ran into the dining room with the Daily Prophet under his arm. "Morning Ginny, morning Hermione… Ron," he said frantically, as he shoved a piece of toast in his mouth.

"Harry…" Ginny said eyeing her husband's worse-than-usual hair and wrongly-buttoned shirt.

"Sorry, Gin, but I don't have time to talk. I was supposed to be in the office ten minutes ago," he mumbled through a full mouth, jumping up and down in attempts to get his left shoe on.

"But Harry!" Ginny and Hermione said simultaneously as Harry apparated out of the dining room. Ron burst out laughing as Ginny rolled her eyes and Hermione smiled amusedly.

There was a "pop" and Harry reappeared in the room. "You could have stopped me, Ginny…" he grumbled as he sat down in the chair beside his wife.

Ginny put her hands up defensively. "Don't look at me! I tried!"

"Where are the kids anyways?" Harry asked as he glanced around the table. After all, it was their birthday. The whole reason for taking work off…

"Still sleeping, actually," Hermione said, grinning.

"No way!" Ron said, eying his wife suspiciously. "Really, 'Mione, where are they?"

"They're still sleeping…" Ginny said blatantly. Harry and Ron stared at her.

"You spiked their bottles with Butterbeer, didn't you?" Ron said with an awe-filled look.

"NO!" Hermione and Ginny cried at the same time.

"We 'might' have spiked them with a sleeping potion…" Ginny said. Harry and Ron stared at the two, mouths agape.

"Might!" Hermione quickly protested.


"Well than, we 'might’ want to wake them up… mum won't be happy if they miss their first birthday party because their mummies spiked their drinks," Harry said, trying desperately not to smile.

"We still have half-an-hour until the party, let the kids sleep," Ginny said before prying the Daily Prophet out of her husband's hands.

"Mistress Potter…" a small voice sounded through the room. "Little Masters James and Sirius are awake…"

"Drat! They can already fight the strongest potion we can give them – legally!" Ginny said, smiling nonetheless as she stood and made her way towards the overly-large nursery in Potter Manor, where all seven of the one year-olds slept. Hermione quickly followed her, knowing all too well that if one was awake the others would soon join in for the attention.

The nursery was a light blue colour and the morning sun was already shining through the large window on the east side of the room. Ginny smiled as she saw Sirius with one pyjama-covered leg sticking through the hole in the crib, flailing about wildly. All seven kids were in the same crib, (which Harry and Ron had had to bewitch to be three times as long as usual) otherwise the seven had screamed most of the night.


"Dlaah!" Sirius shouted as he saw Ginny peering down at him. He smiled up at Ginny, his bright green eyes blinking from the bright sunlight. Ginny smiled and scooped him up.

"Well, good morning, Sirius," Ginny cooed. Sirius beamed at her.

Hermione chuckled from behind them. "That smile is going to make girls melt when he gets older…"

"Hmm," Ginny sighed as Sirius tugged on her hair, squirming in her arms. Ginny quickly looked up as she heard James scream in protest, his little face turning red.

"Come on, let's take them all downstairs, it looks like they're all up," Hermione said, as she picked up James before the others started in on the fuss.

"Except for Cedric…" Ginny laughed, pointing at the smallest of the boys who was comfortably sleeping under his sister, who had her head turned, looking at Hermione's bushy hair in amazement.

"I can't believe they're one already," Hermione sighed, staring at her twin sons.

"I know, it seems like just yesterday when we brought them home." Hermione sighed as well/too.

"And it will feel like tomorrow when they're five," Ginny said quietly.



***Four years later***

"WE'RE FIVE!!!" Harry and Ginny awoke suddenly as they heard a high-pitched girl's voice ring through the house.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US…!"

Ginny groaned. Her daughter had managed to wake up all of her brothers within two words. Now voices came from all around as each of her kids joined in with the singing.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US…!"

"Happy Birthday to… DOES ANYONE REMEMBER DA REST OF DA SONG!?!" Sirius' frantic voice shouted. Ginny jumped as the bed shook softly. Jolting around, she saw Harry laughing nearly uncontrollably with his eyes still closed. Ginny snorted and rolled out of the bed, making sure she pulled the covers off of Harry as she did so.

"Come on…let's give them the rest of the song," Ginny smirked. Harry rolled his eyes and followed his wife to the door.

"ER!" Ginny exclaimed after Harry opened the door. All five of their kids were gathered around a little blue box with a big red button. James looked up, grinned and smacked his little hand down on top of it, while the other four smirked devilishly. Ginny's eyes grew big and she tried desperately to get the door closed before confetti flew everywhere. But it was too late.

Ginny laughed at Harry's look of surprise as the five year-olds broke out into song yet again.

"Come on, let's go have some breakfast," Ginny said as she tried to contain her laughter. She lifted her daughter and grabbed onto Albus' hand as she ushered the other three forward.

"Can we have chocolate for breakfast!?!" Cedric asked excitedly.

"No," Ginny cooed sweetly, shaking her head softly. She was surprised Cedric was even up yet, he was usually the last one of the five to wake up in the mornings, but then again this was their birthday.

"But... we like chocolate!" Lily exclaimed, sticking her bottom lip out. Ginny raised an eyebrow and Lily quickly brought her lip back in a smiled. "Then can we have SYRUP!? JUST syrup?"

"No," Ginny laughed. "How about we have chocolate chip pancakes ‘with’ syrup?"

"That'll work," James said loudly, trying not to sound too excited.

"I think we're going to have to talk to your dear brothers," Harry said, as he came into the kitchen.

Harry glanced suspiciously at the table where James, Cedric, Sirius, Albus and Lily all sat on top of it, with their heads as close together as they could possibly be.

"They told us they were going to give them a confetti blaster for their birthday," Ginny said plainly, smiling as she continued to wave her wand at the bowl of batter in front of her.

"I know. I just didn't believe they would do it. Well, of course they're quite capable of something like that, but normally they wouldn't tell us."

"Unless they knew you wouldn't believe it because they told you." Harry and Ginny turned around as Ron, Hermione, Reese, Holden, and one year-old Remus walked into the small kitchen. Breakfast was the only meal that the house-elves would let them cook themselves; otherwise, the elves would throw a fit (though Hermione still insisted that all elves should be free). Reese and Holden quickly climbed onto the table and without hesitation, the circle expanded to fit the seven, though their heads were still as close together as ever.

"What time did mum want us at the Burrow?" Ron asked his sister, as Hermione started to help with breakfast.

"Ten. I think... Meaning that we've never managed to get there any earlier," Ginny said.


***four years earlier***

"…Oh, for Merlin's sake! Mum wanted us at the burrow at eight. Harry! Ron!" Ginny shouted out of the door of the nursery.

"Do you think it's possible to get the seven of them dressed in ten minutes?" Hermione laughed as she watched Ginny scramble through the large oak wood chest for clothes.

"Honestly? No, it's impossible!" Ginny said half sarcastically as she threw random articles of clothing to the floor.

"Ginny, you're making a mess," Hermione said blatantly, trying hard not to smile.

"Am I?" Ginny said in her best innocent voice.

"AHH!" Ginny nearly fell over as the sound echoed throughout the room. She turned and found Holden propping himself up on his brother and cousin with his arms outstretched for Hermione.

"The kids are getting impatient…" Hermione smirked as she set her son on her hip and continued to watch Ginny bemusedly.

Finally, Ginny groaned and leaned against the wall. "Go ahead!" she exclaimed to Hermione's amused look. "I'm sure you've been itching to point out where they are," Ginny added, knowingly.

"Actually, I've been enjoying watching you frantically tear the room apart and I have absolutely no clue where they are!" Hermione answered mischievously.

"That could be slightly problematic," Ginny put in.

"But we could always find out," Hermione continued. Ginny raised her eyebrows. Hermione pulled out her wand, and waved it over the large pile of accumulated clothing and then whispered ‘Accio!’ with a small flick of her wand.

Ginny grunted as she snatched the small bag as it flew out from under the crib beside the two mothers.

Acting much like a child, Ginny upturned the bag and watched as the contents spilt all over the floor.

"How fast do you think we can do this?" she asked, her eyes twinkling.

Hermione laughed at her sister-in-law's playful look. Smirking, she set Holden down on the floor. "Let's find out," she giggled as she went to the crib to get the other six out.

Ginny laughed and took Lily first, while Hermione started on James. The two always being the hardest to get dressed, Hermione and Ginny had decided months ago that they would always start with them.

James giggled as he tried to struggle out of his aunt's arms, while Hermione – with a determined look on her face – tried to change his soiled nappy and get a fresh one on at the same time. "James, please hold still," Hermione said pleadingly, as she tuned around to grab the small set of child-robes from behind her. She turned back towards the boy and was shocked to find him gone and Ginny giggling. Hermione shot Ginny a concerned 'where-did-he-go-look' before moving her attention to the door.

"James!" she protested as he crawled slowly towards the open door with Sirius and Holden close behind him.

"We're never going to get them dressed in time!" Ginny said as she scooped up James and Holden first and flicked her wand at the door to prevent Sirius from going anywhere.

"Do you need something?" Ron asked as he opened the door. He walked into the room, closely followed by Harry.

Hermione sighed. "Yeah, can you two get Cedric and Reese dressed in these." She tossed dark red and brown robes at her husband.

"Er... no problem!" Ron exclaimed. "Biddy!" Hermione glared at her husband.

"Really, Ronald! Why do you always insist on making the house-elves do everything?"

Ginny laughed. "You're just angry he thought of it first, Hermione," she said, as she continued to pull light green-coloured robes over her daughter.

"I can't believe they're one already," Harry sighed as he helped Cedric with his cauldron cake, which had, so far, only managed to get into his messy brown hair.

"You've only said that about four times," Ron said rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, well you wait until your kids turn one!" Harry said stupidly.

"Which would be..." Ron paused dramatically, "tomorrow!"

"Just you two wait!" Mrs. Weasley laughed as she came into the room. "It won't be very long and they will be turning eleven...leaving for Hogwarts. Then they'll be seventeen... and they'll leave home. Then they'll get married and have their own kids..." she ended with a long sigh.

"Wow!" Ginny exclaimed. "Let's first work on keeping them alive until they're eleven," she laughed.

"Or us for that matter," Ron added.
