23rd March
~morning~
Ginny's POV

Today is Albus' birthday but it is going to be much more relaxing than I thought .
Yesterday ...

Flashback~

"Mum!" I hear two of my kids shout and footsteps coming into the living room , where I was seated , reading the Witch Weekly magazine.

"Yeah?!" I shout back.
Albus and Lily enter the living room. They share a look which does not go unnoticed by me. I raise an eyebrow in question.

"Well" Al starts "tomorrow is my 15th birthday..." he pauses .
"Yes and?" I prompt him.
"We decided to celebrate out birthdays on the same day, mum" Lily explains.

"Okay, and when do you want to celebrate it?" I ask , while thinking about what that day might be.
"Our birthdays are five days apart, so mine would be postponed and Lily's would be preponed so that we celebrate it on..." Albus explains.
" 25th of March!!!" Lily exclaims.

I think about it while they take a seat on the couch on either sides of me. It would be on Wednesday but the kids are out of school and we adults are going to work only on alternate days only. So I guess that is fine.
'What?!' I hear a voice in my head .

'Harry! Heard my thoughts?'
'Yeah, I did , Gin. What's on Wednesday?'

'You aren't busy right now? You are at work after all'
'No , I'm getting bored here actually. Just some paperwork.'

'Al and Lily want to combine their birthdays and celebrate it on Wednesday'
'Oh! That's good. Don't have to worry about work , then'
'Yeah, you don't have to take any days off'
'Yea-'

"Mum!!?" I am brought out of my thoughts by Lily yelling for me.
"Oh right sorry, kids! Was telling your dad about it." I say apologetically.

"See, told you mum was mind talking to dad, yet you interrupted her." Albus says, shaking his head.
Lily sticks out her tongue at him.

"You sure, you two want to have your parties on the same day?" I ask to make sure one last time.
"Yes!" They say simultaneously. These two should have been twins , I tell you.

'So what did dad say?" My daughter inquires.
"He said that it was a good idea" I simply state with a smile. They high-five each other.

"Ooh! Mum! I also heard that Vic's cousin has come to visit them and is gonna stay for some time!" She says excitedly.
"Aunt Gabrielle's daughter?" Albus asks confused. Lily nods.

"Yeah, I heard from 'Mione about that too" I add."Adelena Delacour, wasn't it?"
Albus and Lily nod.

~End of flashback

I recall the memory but then I hear my phone ring. Now where did I keep it? Last time I took it out was.... Hm, when was it?

I go up the stairs to my closet to check if I left to there ( she has a huge closet which happens to be as big as a room )
Ahh! Found it! I grab it and see that 'Mione is calling me. I pick up the call
( Ginny : G, Hermione : H )

G : Hey Mione!
H : Hello Ginny! I was wondering if we should go shop for the party , all mums and daughters . What do you say??
G : yeah, that's a good idea . Who else is coming?
H : I only talked to Angelina before you. You call Fleur and I'll call Aubrey.

( so the department where Percy , Mione and Aubrey work is having a day off . The Auror department isn't .)
G : yeah-! Wait! What about Hugo?? He can stay here with Al , James and Teddy.
H : yeah, I was gonna ask if he could , actually.

G : alright! That's settled . And I'm gonna invite Mavis okay?
H : who-? Oh! Right! James' girlfriend! Yes, invite her too. I'm dying to meet your future daughter-in-law .

We laugh and then cut the call. I call Fleur to tell her of the plan. She said she is free and was gonna come here with the 3 girls.
I inform Lily that we all were going out and she gets pumped up about it . Oh, Lily, I think .

An hour later , Fleur , 'Mione , Angelina , Aubrey , Vic , Domi , Adelena , Molly , Lucy , Rox, Rose , Lily and I were in the living room , waiting for Mavis . We all sit down and talk to Lena as we wait for her.

"So , how's your mum, Lena?" I ask her with a smile.
"She's stressed , Aunt Ginny. That's why I came here actually . I am going to stay here for a long time. I will be going to Hogwarts too!" She explains. I notice the change in her expressions from when she started and to when she said Hogwarts.

"T-" I get cut off as we all hear a loud set of thumps . Is someone falling down the stairs? I quickly hurry towards the stairs to see Teddy lying on the floor, groaning while Hugo. James and Albus seemed to have just arrived to see the commotion . The three of them started laughing. Vic and I went to help him up, shaking our heads . This is proof that he is the son of Nymphadora Tonks.

Meanwhile, my other kids come downstairs and we all hear the sound of someone coming in though the fireplace.
"Mavis!!" James shouts and runs to greet his girlfriend. They peck each other and hug.

As the others go to meet her , I see from the corner of my eye , Teddy and Vic hold hands while Vic kisses his cheek , whispering something. He whispers back and they smile.

Hmm, I want to know what that was about but I'll leave it... . Albus and Hugo come up to me with an expectant look on their faces .
"What is it?" I question.

"Can Scorp , Louis and Fred please come here?" Hugo asks with his puppy eyes.
"Last time you all got together and it was only you , I remember the house being a mess" I say , narrowing my eyes. Good try, kids, but those puppy eyes don't work on me.

"But mum, this time we promise we won't make a mess of the house. We'll all play quidditch outside this time" Al pleads , emphasising on the word outside.
I still keep my eyes narrowed.
"And keep Fred and James away from the prank stuff. Potter's honour!" Albus promises.

"Okay, but if it is a mess by the time I return , Al... you will be grounded for a month , no TV , phone or rose and scorp" I warn him as he gulps and Hugo has wide eyes.
"Deal, mum" he nods.

"Good , now go ahead and have fun" I grin at them. They turn to leave as..
"Hey Albus! Hey Hugo!" We hear a girls voice .
We turn to see the source of the voice , Adelena Delacour. I smile at her.

"Hey, Lena! Long time no see!" Hugo says cheerfully and walks upto her.
"Yeah. The last time I saw you , you were 7 , Hu" she says and pats his head , "you're still short though." she jokes and giggles. I laugh and go greet Mavis. She gives me a bag which , as she told , contains the clothes I lent her last time.

Meanwhile
Albus' POV

She has grown a lot since I last saw her. I got to stop staring. But she is so pretty. Her giggles.... Stop it albus!! Look somewhere else!! I quickly snap out of it and go to greet her. I see mum left to greet Mavis.

"Hey Lena! How have you been?" I ask with a smile.
"Hi Albus! I've been good. What about you?" She answers and smiles back.
My heart starts to pound loudly. I hope no one hears it. That smile was just it for me.
"I-I've been fine t-too" I reply . God , why am I stuttering?! Get hold of yourself Al!!

I hear faint giggle and quickly whip my head in it's direction. Rose , Rox and Lily are standing near us , giggling silently. Rox smirks at me. I get the hint . They saw.... I'm done for... Got to escape fast!

"Hey Hugo? Don't you think we should inform Scorp, Fred and Louis to come here?" I remind him.
"Oh , Yeah! Let's go send them a message Al. Bye Rose , Lena , Rox , Lily! Have fun!"he replies and runs up the stairs.
"Bye everyone!!!" I shout getting everyone's attention and run after Hugo.

Lily's POV

It's been an hour since we were at my house and now we were roaming through Diagon Alley. We all decided to take a break and go have some ice cream at Fortesque's. My cousins , Mavis and I were sitting together on one huge table while our mums were catching up on another one. 

Some of us were talking to Mavis while the others where talking to Lena. I didn't feel like doing anything so I just ate ice cream (mood) while listening to their conversations . Oh! Almost forgot! I pull out my phone and start to text my friends about tomorrow's party.
My dorm mates and I have a group chat so I text there.

Me : hey girls!
Joana : hey Lily!! (Yup! It's you @JoanaTrindade3 )
Zoe : hey there Lils! What's up?

So Joana and Zoe were free right now.

Me : Hey , Zoe and Joana! Just wanted to remind about the party tomorrow!
Joana : Oh! Of course! Couldn't forget our best friends' party! (;
Zoe : Jo's right , Lils!
Me : haha, I get it. Anyway what's up at your side?

Rose's POV

Lily has started texting on her phone. She probably got bored.
I continue to talk to Lena but then something crosses my mind. I turn to look at Rox who is sitting to the left of me .

"Should we ask her if she likes Al? She looked quite happy when she went to talk to him..." I ask her , whispering.
She thinks for a while before answering.
" 'Course! But only whispering." She states. I nod and turn to my right where Lena sat , eating her strawberry ice cream.

"Hey Lena, wanna tell me something related to Albus." I whisper into her ear.
She looks confused. I raise my eyebrow at her with a look that says 'really?'
"Why do you say that?" She asks , still confused.
"Well, you seemed so happy when you went to talk to him and you couldn't stop smiling" Rox leans towards us and whispers matter-of-factly.

"What wrong with that? You know how close the four of us were when we were young. I missed you all, it's been 4 years since we last saw each other" she answers with a small smile.
"Well, what do you think of him now that you did see him?" Rox presses on the subject.
"Well, I- uh.. think he is... h-handsome..." she stutters . Haha! You did it Rox ! We finally got it!
Rox and I smirk at her and go back to eating our ice creams .

We all listen to Domi talk about these guys chasing after her at school. She says that even though she can control her Veela part , they still come after her and either Louis has to show up or she should hex them to get rid of them. We all laugh . But something glittering in the sunlight catches my eye.

I gasp loudly and I feel my eye widen . This causes everyone else to turn and look at what I was seeing with my mouth open. They all gasp as soon as they see it.
"Vic... what is that?" I ask the eldest of us , deciding to speak first .

Yeah, thought I'd leave a cliffhanger. What do you think it is?? Next chapter is gonna be published by this weekend.
