Hugo. A. Weasley and Lily. L. Potter (Drawn 2017)
The Potters and Weasleys were visiting Ron and Hermione's family as they celebrated the two youngest birthdays during the Easter holidays. Only born two days apart, Hugo and Lily had turned 11, and triumphantly received their letters to Hogwarts. With Ron and Ginny's older brother, Percy, standing in for headmaster temporarily, Molly and Lucy, his two girls, were unable to attend the celebration.
"I still can't believe he got the position!" Ronald exclaimed, shaking his head. Ever since Professor McGonagall had retired from her role of headmistress last year from after a surprising sudden Stroke during Christmas, there was a hurry to fill the role before the wizarding school started up again. There was much devastation and sadness, but the woman would be visiting hogwarts reguarly to make sure everything was up to scratch.
"Just remember it is only temporary," his wife, Hermione reminded him. "And with his responsibility I am sure he might even keep the position."
A sigh echoed around the room. "McGonagall was so much more fun though!" James complained, as he and Fred were scoffing down the birthday cake.
"Fun? Well yes, she did force me to eat biscuits when I was sent to her office once," Harry chuckled.
"And in second year, when we escaped in dad's Ford, she gave us sandwiches and pumpkin juice," Ron recalled. "I missed out on the feast though."
"You would've eaten a whole chicken if you didn't!" Hermione teased, as the family laughed.
Hugo looked up from his piece of art that he was currently perfecting on a serviette, and turned to Lily. They both were uncertain about the adventure ahead, and felt like they had been missing out as their many cousins started recalling their funny memories from the feasts.
Roxanne was talking with James and Fred, though she was only a year older than Hugo and Lily, she wasn't as close to them. Then there was Lucy, who was also starting this year, but she wasn't around often to have such a close relationship.
"What are you drawing now?" Lily asked, snatching the serviette and studying it, "Is that a lion?"
"Shhh, and yes, it is," Hugo whispered.
