The Perfect Opportunity.

Chapter 15: Surprise!!

Harry turned around to see the people he had dreamed of meeting for all of his 18 years. His parents.

'Oh my god..' Harry said, the tears starting to roll down his cheeks again. His mum held open her arms, and he fell into them, whilst his dad came around and hugged them both.

They finally released him from the hug and he looked over to see Ginny looking past him, tears rolling down her cheeks and her hand over her mouth. Harry looked behind his parents and saw someone else enter the office.

'Fred!!!' Ginny screamed, running to her brother. Ron followed her, and they hugged him with such vigour that they nearly knocked him over.

Harry's dad looked over to see what was happening, and saw the door open and close for the third time.

'Moony! Padfoot! 'He yelled.

'Prongs!' Sirius and Remus chorused, attacking their friend in a bear hug.

Hermione watching all of this with big, sad eyes, knowing that that door wouldn't open again, and that her parents wouldn't ever know her.

'Miss Granger. Are you alright?' Professor McGonagall asked.

'I'm fine, thank you, professor. I just miss my parents.'

'We're glad to hear that, honey. We would have been a bit upset to have travelled all the way from Australia only to find that our little girl didn't even miss us...' A familiar voice said.

'Dad!' Hermione flung herself onto her dad. Another figure emerged, and said 'What about me, Mione? Don't I get a hug?'

'Mum!'

'There is something... magical about seeing a parent reunited with their child.' Fred remarked.

That jolted something in their memories. Slowly, Harry and Ginny looked at one another.

'Molly!' They chorused, and rushed out of the room.

Hearing this, Hermione looked at Ron and screamed ' OMG, the children...' before sprinting after the other two, leaving Ron with her father.

'Wait up, Mione. I'm coming...' Ron yelled and disappeared.

                           ***

In Professor McGonagall's office, the parents and rounded on McGonagall and started to bombard her with questions.

'What do they mean, children.'

'Who are these people?'

And, finally, 'So, Harry knocked up a girl, then, Atta boy.' You can guess who said that last question.

'Ok, first off. There is a marriage law now, because of the war. Harry and Ginny are soul mates and have been partnered together, as have Ron and Hermione. Mr and Mrs Potter, Ginny is Arthur and Molly's daughter, and Ron is their youngest son. Hermione is Harry, Ron and Ginny's best friend.
      The children are a project for life class.'

'What, so you told the children to get pregnant for a CLASS?' Mr Granger raged.

'No, Professor Slughorn brewed a potion that, once they put their hair into it, would turn into their biological child. However, the child will vanish in two months, when the assignment is over.'  

'Oh...' Mr Granger said. 'Sorry.' 

For a moment, there was an awkward silence.

'Sooo. The weather is nice today, isn't it.' Mr Granger said, trying to make some conversation. James opened his mouth to reply but was interrupted by the four teens rushing back in, carrying in their respective children.

'Wow, guys. The tension in here is so thick I could cut it with a knife.' Ron remarked. 'What happened in here?'

'Well, Mr Granger here was just remarking that he didn't particularly agree with our methods of teaching.' James said, shooting a look at Mr Granger out of the corner of his eye.

'Oh, Dad. You didn't, did you?' Hermione pleaded. 'Please tell me that you didn't.'

Hermione's dad looked sheepish. 'Well, honey...' he said, rubbing his neck.

'Uggghh.' Hermione said, slapping her forehead.

Lily looked around the room, and decided that something must be said to break the silence. 'So, who are these little ones?' she asked.

Ginny looked around at her friends, and, upon seeing that no-one was going to go first, stepped forward. 'This is Molly.' She said, taking the baby from Harry's arms, and showing it to others, who all cooed and tickled her under her chin and told her how cute she was.

'And who are these two?' Asked Fred, gesturing to the Hermione and Ron's twins.

'This is Amanda.' Ron said, proffering his daughter.

'And this is Arthur, but we call him Art for short. Also, so we don't get him confused with Mr Weasley.' Hermione finished.

'Oh. Wow. Another dad. Fun...' Fred said.

'Fred! That is our child you are talking about. Ron, tell him.' Hermione said, looking appalled.

'Huh - what?' Ron said, snapping to attention.

'I said, tell your brother to stop making fun of our son.' She said, whacking him on his chest with the back of her hand.

'Oy, shut up Fred.' Ron said, before falling back into his daydream. Hermione shared a "boys" look with Ginny. Lily caught the look and smiled at them. They reminded her so much of herself when she was their age, especially Ginny, what with the long ginger/auburn hair, the lively spark and, of course, the man she was engaged to whom looked so much like her husband. Well, he would do, wouldn't he. He is my son. She thought.

'Right, now that the introductions and the welcoming are over, I think it is time to introduce you to the rest of wizarding world.' Professor McGonagall said. 'Are you ready?'

'We are- huh?' James said, as the door fell open...

A/N. I feel so evil. I'm sorry. I just had to. 🐛 xx
