Nine

Chapter nine

Albus

Once the room was quiet, I continued, "I'm 11 and in slytherin." I looked around and some people wanted to speak out but decided not to. "I'm a seeker on the team just like dad and good in studies like Aunt Mione."

Henry

After Al was done, it was turn. "I'm Henry Arthur Potter, Albus twin and the youngest son of Harry and Ginny." Dad almost fainted at the prospect of having three sons. Wait till he learns how many kids he actually has. "I'm in slytherin much like Albie but I'm not on the team. I do not like quidditch and I prefer books to sports." Dad looks upset but I know he had accepted my decision.

Lily

It was my turn to surprise everyone. I know this would change things forever. "I'm Lily Ginerva Astoria Greengrass-Potter, the eldest child and only daughter of Harry Potter and Astoria Greengrass-Potter." Like before, the room looked angry. Everyone glared at dad while mother looked very sad. Padfoot spills out his drink and Uncle Ron shouted "you better explain how Harry had a child with a slytherin whose father is a death eater." I gasped at that. Mom and dad never told me much about mom's family.

Teddy

After Uncle Ron harshly asked us a question, I heard Lily gasp. Uncle Harry and Aunt Astoria must have kept the Greengrasses association with Voldemort under wraps."You must be thinking that Uncle Harry cheated on Aunt Ginny with Aunt Astoria. You are all wrong." Everyone looked at me with their eyebrows raised. "Aunt Ginny's time at the Holyhead Harpies had taken a toll on her pregnancy with Albus and Henry. She was quite week while delivering them and lived long enough to name them." The whole room was in tears. "All of us who knew her have missed her ever since." Grandma hugged a crying Aunt Ginny. "After Ginny died, the minister allowed Uncle Harry to be exempted from the law for a couple of years. When Aunt Astoria returned from the US, she was matched with Uncle Harry and they wed in 2009. It was awkward at first but then they got along well. I, James and the twins were cared for by our godparents until Uncle Harry was able to get over the grief of Aunt Ginny's death."

Lily

Mom and dad also have another son Harold but he's at home with them. He's a momma's boy and won't go anywhere without her. I don't know how he will survive Hogwarts."
