Hermione's PoV

"Ron!" I yelled to my husband.

"What?" He muttered grumpily.

"If you don't want to know I'll tell Harry and Ginny!" I said and I would to. Ron was such a stubborn git sometimes.

"Okay. What?" Ron complained.

"I don’t care if you’re a tired grump but Alyss thinks she's a witch!" I said jumping with joy.

"Brilliant." He muttered punching his pillow into a more comfortable shape. “What!?”

" But my sister, Alyss, thinks she’s a witch.”

“And how did she get that idea?”

“She was sitting in math class only to discover she didn’t have a pencil. It’s a type of Muggle quill that you can vanish with the pink thing on the end. They use it all the time. So she needed on for class. She went to her locker. Where she keeps her stuff for classes. And discovered she didn’t have one. She walked disappointed back to class and found that her desk was full of them!” I said happily.

“I still don’t get the point of this pencil.” He grumbled.

“Next time we go to a Muggle town I’ll buy you a pencil or two.” I said. He was so annoying sometimes. “Now you take care of Rose and Hugo while I talk to Harry and Ginny. And no, you can’t go to sleep near them it doesn’t work.”

Rose was my little mini-me with red hair but that was the only difference and she was 4. Same age as Albus. Ginny and Harry’s son. Hugo was 3. Same as Ginny and Harry’s Lily. James was their oldest child and he was 5.

I quickly got the floo powder and didn’t just stick me head in. I just went to their house. “ The Potter house!”

“Ginny? Harry?” I said steeping out of their clean mantel. Well, not clean anymore. Suddenly Harry walked in looking hassled.

“Hi Hermione. What’s with the early wakeup call?” He yawned. Clearly Lily had been giving them a hard night.

“Alyss, my sister, is convinced she’s a witch because-” I was interrupted by loud crying.

“Harry! I told you to take care of Lily! I already have my hands full with Albus and James!” Ginny screamed at him not even looking.

“Can I do it after I talk to Hermione?” He said honestly.

“I’ll help. I don’t -”

“No absolutely not! Did you say Hermione?” She rushed in the room Albus and Lily in her arms and James in a pouch in front of her.

“Hello Hermione. Sorry. Why we had to have three kids one year apart is a mystery to me!” Ginny said. She was in  a bad mood.

“I’ll take Lily. I can talk at the same time. I have to hurry though. I left a sleepy Ron with the kids. Alyss thinks she’s a witch because she had a magical incident at school and I think she is too!” I hurried as she handed me Lily.

“Wow!” Ginny exclaimed after I had finished and Harry just nodded and yawned again.

“Hey, Lil. Care to give me a few hours of sleep tonight?” He teased her.

“I can’t stay here Ginny.” I said giving her back Lily.

I flooed back to the sound of Rose crying. “Honestly Ron!”

“I don’t know what she wants!” He moaned.

“Did you by any chance try milk?” I asked him slyly.

“Oh. Sorry Rosie.” He muttered. “Hey, ‘mione? Can I go to bed now?”

“NO!”

One year later.

Alyss PoV

I looked outside and saw an owl. Hermione must have replied to me. I had been writing to her often because I hadn't gotten my letter to Hogwarts yet. I was worried I wasn't a witch. I wasn’t eleven but I wanted to go this year!

But that wasn't Hermione's owl. Aphrodite wasn't tawny she was a snowy owl.

I yelled, "Mom!"

Jean came in looking annoyed. "What?"

"I think that's my Hogwarts letter!" I said hyper.

"Yes. You call Hermione after." She said hurriedly.

The owl flew in and I basically snatched the letter of his leg. I was going to Hogwarts.

I called Hermione soon after. "I got it!"

"I knew you would. You'll be going with Teddy!" Hermione said.

Before we hadn't been sure when I'd go because my birthday was September 1st. I didn't care because it was either Victoire or Teddy. Well I wanted to go with Teddy because he was going first. Other then that I didn't care.

"Great! When can I go to Diagon Alley with you?"

"I can do it tomorrow."

"I'll tell Mum!"

Hogwarts here I come.
