Hermione, Ginny, and Harry were sitting in there Ministry cafeteria together. Hermione was going over a report of the dragon population. 

Harry was scratching out a memo about a trial for some bloke who sold telescopes that magically adhered to the skin around a person's eyes. A memory team had already been dispatched to modify the memories of the thirty-seven children and their parents who had witnessed the incident. He had also just sent a momo to Mr. Weasley asking him to locate the remaining telescopes and see that they were properly disposed of.

Ginny had several hand-written reports laid out in front of her. She made a sound of disappointment as she sucked her teeth. She skimmed the report once more before throwing it down on the table. 

"I always knew that Sunge was going to be a rubbish reporter. I should make him someone's secretary."

"You have that kind of power?" Hermione asked looking up from the letter she was writing to Charlie asking him for the breeding procedure of dragons. 

"I wish," Ginny scoffed. "But it's a good thing I don't. Everyone would be fired or have quit within a week."

"But if he can't do his job then why are you keeping him?" Harry asked biting into his grilled cheese sandwich.

"I'm in charge of assignments. I'll have to put in an official request with the Editor In Cheif to have him moved." Ginny explained.

"Are you going to ask to have him made a secretary?" Hermione questioned tucking the finished letter in her bag.

"Naw," Ginny shrugged. "There never seem to be enough photographers They'll probably end up sending him to the Cannons, Arrows game next week."

"Poor bloke." Harry sighed. "That's a one-sided match if I've ever seen one."

Both Ginny and Hermione laughed. They all became quiet again as they ate bites of food as they poured over their work.

Hermione chewed her stew thoughtfully before blurting out, "I think you should have a gender reveal party!"

"A what?" Ginny and Harry asked contemporaneously.

"Well, since you agreed to get a wizarding ultrasound for your baby I thought that we could throw a party. There'd be food and then at some point we could set off sparks or cut a cake that's pink or blue telling you guys which gender the baby is!" Hermione explained. 

"Sure," Harry shrugged. "Sounds like fun."

"Yeah," Ginny agreed. "But quick question, what is the fun in throwing a surprise party about the baby's gender if we already know if it's a boy or a girl?"

"That's the beauty of it," Hermione enthused. "I'll be planning the whole thing."

"If you're making it that easy then I guess," Ginny smiled.

Hermione beamed and clapped her hands. "Great! Your appointment is this afternoon and I can have everything ready by the weekend."

******************************

People were milling around the Potter's backyard happily. Children ran around together playing tag or some other imaginative game. 

The Weasley family was there, as they always were. Aside from Charlie and Percy. Percy was attending a very prestigious and important business trip for his work. But Audrey was doing just fine taking care of their girls on her own for a few days. 

Along with the family, Luna and her husband Rolf were at the party, with their twin boys Lorcan and Lysander. The twins were around the same age as Hugo and Lily. 

Neville and Hannah were in attendance along with their daughter Mavis. Seamus and Dean were also milling around the backyard catching up with their old Gryffindor friends. 

It was a tad chilly in the October air. But the sun was shining and the people were smiling. Pink and blue decorations littered the yard. Streamers were draped around trees and the deck. There were two tables full of sweets and food. Pink, strawberry flavored and blue, cotton candy-flavored punch were being served as well. 

Hermione had given the job to Ron and George to emit copious amounts of colored fog from their wands the time came to announce the sex of the baby.

There was a chalkboard with two columns. Each collum was filled with tally marks, either blue or pink. People were voting on which gender they thought the baby was to be. There was also a table filled with gifts that were to be opened at a different time. 

Hermione walked around the yard admiring her hard work. She spotted Dean standing alone by the drinks as he gazed outwards at the party. Hermione poured herself some blue punch before walking over and standing next to him. 

"Hey Hermione," Dean smiled.

"Hello, Dean," She grinned back. She followed his fixed gaze.

Dean was watching Seamus collectively wrestle both the Scamander boys and Hugo. They were rolling around in the grass and gave roars of triumph whenever Seamus feigned death. 

"So," Hermione began turning to Dean, "when were you planning on telling us?"

"Telling you what?" Dean asked perplexed as he turned to face her. 

Hermione looked down at Dean's left hand where a simple golden band laid around his fourth finger. "Seamus is wearing the same ring. On the same hand, on the same finger."

Dean just smiled and took a sip of his pink drink. "What else gave us away?"

"Well, the invites said to feel free to bring your significant other. I know we invited you both, but you came together and I would assume that if you were engaged to someone else you would have brought her along." Hermione said softly.

Dean just laughed again and waved Seamus over. "If anyone was going to figure us out I should have known it would be you."

"What'd she figure out?" Seamus asked walking over covered in dead grass. 

Hermione couldn't contain her excitement any longer. "That you're engaged!" She gasped. 

Seamus grinned as he brushed the grass from his sweater. "Busted."

Dean offered a helping hand and swiped the grass from Seamus' back. "I'm going to have to ask you to keep it down. I don't think Ginny would take it kindly if we stole her thunder."

 Both Seamus and Hermione burst into laughter. "Smart." She giggled. "But you should tell the others soon. I also expect and invite you to the wedding."

"Naturally," Seamus answered with a cheeky grin. 

"Who proposed?" Hermione asked eagerly with a glint in her eye.

Ginny who happened to be walking by when Hermione asked her question whirled around on them. "Someone's getting married?" She gasped. "Who?"

Dean and Seamus exchanged glances and that was all it took. Ginny suppressed her scream as she threw her arms around the pair of them. 

"Congratulations!" She squalled. "But answer her question. Who proposed? When? Where? Give me all the details!"

Across the yard, Harry, Luna, Ron, and Neville were talking.

"Didn't you two go out for a while?" Ron questioned motioning between Neville and Luna.

Harry elbowed him in the ribs. "You're a twat."

"No, it's alright, Harry," Luna said softly. "We were together for a little bit."

"Yeah, for about a year after the war," Neville added.

"What happened?" Ron asked despite himself.

Harry rolled his eyes in exasperation. 

"It was mutual mostly," Neville replied. "We wanted different things."

"Neville wanted a girl who could cook," Luna laughed. "I blow up the kitchen when I turn the stove on."

"Thank Merlin the ability to cook wasn't one of 'Mione's requirements," Ron muttered. "About two months after Hugo was born she had to work late. So I'd thought it'd be nice if I cooked dinner for her. There was fire everywhere. So she came home to me jumping around our kitchen screaming at the top of my lungs while I tried to put the fire out. Hermione started laughing so hard she had to sit down. Leaving me  to field for myself against the raging inferno."

They all stared at Ron and gave uneasy laughs. 

"How are your children alive?" Harry asked. 

"Hermione," Ron answered simply.

Around two hours later Hermione called everyone's attention. They all gathered in a semi-circle around the Potters. Harry and Ginny stood, Harry had his arm around Ginny's shoulders. Albus and James stood patiently as their parent's legs and Harry was supporting Lily with his other arm.

"Since we're all came here for a gender reveal party I think it's about time we revealed this baby's gender." Hermione smiled. She looked to her left and then her right. "Boys, if you will."

George and Ron who were standing on the outside of the group of people both raised their wands and performed the simple spell Hermione had thought them in perfect synch.

People let out cheers of delight when they saw the pink fog emitting from Ron's wand. There was an identical reaction for the blue fog coming from George's wand. The cries of enthusiasm quickly turned to mutters of confusion. 

Ginny let out a groaned and shouted, "George!" at the precise moment that Angelina gave his shoulder a smack. 

"Hey!" George yelled defensively. "How do we know that is wasn't Ron who messed things up?"

They all gave him a deadpan look. "You own a joke shop." Bill reminded.

"Ron is my business partner!" George retaliated.

"You put a swamp in the middle of a school corridor!" Ginny added.

"Yeah, that's real sibling-like, ganging up on me," George muttered bitterly. "Listen, Hermione told me blue I cast blue!"

"Well you've never been to keen on listening to others," Ginny replied snarkily. "Maybe you heard her wrong."

Mrs. Weasley shot Ginny and reproachful look. Ginny slapped her fingers to her lips in realization of what she said. Ron failed to pull off his snort as a violent sneeze.

George chuckled darkly, "In case you've forgotten, Gin, I've only got the one ear!" He pointed to the black hole on the side of his head. "Hermione, I know you told me blue, tell them you told me blue!"

Hermione smirked to herself as if she knew a delicious secret. "I told George blue," all heads turned to stare at Ron, "and I told Ron pink."

Now everyone was looking at Hermione in absolute bewilderment. 

"That's impossible," Harry said his voice unsure. "There can't be a boy and a girl in there at the same ti- oh- oh."

Ginny finished Harry's sentence for him. "Twins."

"Twins!" Hermione shrieked in confirmation. 

People grinned in understanding. They all shot George apologetic looks. He was already cracking jokes about the whole affair. 

As people offered Ginny and Harry their congratulations Ginny gasped loudly.

"Oh my God," she whispered. "I'm my mother."

Harry looked at her, his features puzzled. "Come again?"

Ginny searched for the throng of people for James. "Jamie," she pointed to him, "he's Bill. Al is Charlie. Lily is Percy, and..." Ginny looked down at her stomach in slight horror.

"Fred and George," Harry finished. 

Ron laughed, "Your twins are going to have a time trying to top Fred and George's shenanigans."

Ginny a slight huff of relief. "You're probably right."

Hermione joined the three. "Did I do a good job?"

"You did an excellent job." Harry smiled giving her a hug.

"Yeah, you did an excellent job at giving me a heart attack." Ginny joked. "Why did you have to do all this party stuff for us, for our kids? Can't you do this crazy amazing mom stuff for Rosie and Hugo or any other future babies you're planning on squeezing out."

Ron wrapped and arm around Hermione and kissed her temple. She gave a sad sigh.

"I can't have any more kids, Gin," Hermione said softly. 

Ginny's eyes filled with tears almost instantly. "What? I- I'm so sorry Hermione. Why?"

"My uterus was already unstable after Kennedy and when I was pregnant with Hugo. With that on top of my C-section, it's just too dangerous. There is a very high probability of me having another miscarriage if I got pregnant again. So it's safer if I just don't have any more kids." Hermione explained grimly.

Ginny gasped. She quickly pulled Hermione into a tight embrace. "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said that."

Hermione ran her fingers through Ginny's hair soothingly. "You didn't know. It's okay."

"You're not mad?" Ginny sniffed. 

"No," Hermione answered softly. "I'm not mad."

Ginny gave a waterly laugh. "Sorry, I didn't mean to cry. My emotions are all over the place."

Hermione laughed and nodded. She knew the feeling. Harry linked his fingers to Ginny's. 

"C'mon!" Ron called. "Its a party, let's have fun."
