As he was eating his breakfast, he saw an owl swoop into the dining room, carrying a copy of the Daily Prophet, the front page containing an article which caused Harry to choke on his toast.
"Dumbledore's Giant Mistake
By Rita Skeeter"
Harry was shocked. He had not expected that of Hagrid, being the son of a giantess. Even though Hagrid was his friend, he knew from the lessons that Sirius had given him that giants were dangerous, and that a giant attack was the cause of his grandparent's death in August 1979, them being on holiday in Nijmegen, The Netherlands when the train that they were on, a Mat '46 type train owned by the Dutch state railway, had crashed into another one, and then turned over by a giant who was working for the Dark Lord.
As he passed the article to Hermione and Hannah, he heard his godfather bound into the kitchen in his Animagus form, being bowled over by a German Shepherd who had followed the Grim animagus.
Harry watched as the German Shepherd turned back into a human, the form being that of the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and Sirius's fiancé, Amelia Bones.
"I think you need to learn about your brakes Mia." Sirius said, having turned back in to his human form. "I know that you are excited to see that godson of ours, but you don't have to knock him over!"
As the quintet of witches and wizards discussed the situation of what could be the way that Skeeter had surveilled when they heard a scream from Sophie Granger.
"The baby's coming!"

"Romeo Lysander Granger. Typical of you dear to suggest something that is Shakespearian, just like you did with our daughter!" Adam said, hugging his wife. "I swear that the Bard would be intrigued, naming our son with two names from his plays."
"I love you Adam," Sophie said, considering her husband's eyes. "I love you too much!"
Hermione would later be shocked when she heard the name of her brother, knowing that she would never inflict such a name on a child of hers!
The Book Hut, Diagon Alley, City of Westminster, England
1st September 2014
Hermione Potter was happy. She had been married to Harry for fifteen years now, along with her sister-wife, Hannah Abbot, and she had not regretted a single day of it.
She remembered how Sirius and Amelia, both being an animagus, albeit illegally, had come to the conclusion that Rita Skeeter had been an illegal animagus herself, being a water beetle. The quintet of Harry, Hannah, herself, Sirius and Amelia had made it so she would write only the things that they wanted to, resulting in her credibility taking a dive during Harry's fifth year, as Minister Fudge tried to have Harry arrested for inciting a riot, all because he saved Cedric Diggory from dying at the hands of Peter Pettigrew by winning the TriWizard Tournament on his own, and the displaying of a memory that showed the return of the Dark Lord, Lord Voldemort.
It was towards the end of his fifth year, however, that Harry, Dumbledore and Sirius had managed to get the Goblins of Gringotts to muster an assassination team, led by the Head of Accounts for the Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter, to remove the Death Eaters, along with Lord Voldemort. It was Dumbledore who suggested to the Goblins that the returned Dark Lord would be bad for the business of the Gringotts goblins, and reminded them of the casualties, including the late Goblin Leader, King Ragnock II, that allowed for the teams.
The only downside to the Fifth Year was that Hermione was given a Prefect position but Minerva McGonagall, but she had refused it due to being partnered with Ron Weasley, the person who had been belittling her during the Fourth year, Hannah refusing her appointment as well from Professor Sprout, in support. Lavender Brown subsequently became prefect, but had to leave Hogwarts at the end of her Sixth Year, Ron having gotten her pregnant!
It was only thanks to the intervention of the Headmaster that she, along with Hannah, had become joint Head Girls, the first ever, with Harry becoming Head boy at the same time, meaning that they shared the same set of private dormitories.
Following the NEWT exams, which Hermione helped Hannah and Harry ace, they succumbed to the Head Student curse which had happened since the days of James and Lily Potter being Head Students, ending up wed to each other within a month of leaving Hogwarts. Hermione and Hannah wasn't surprised though, as they had been betrothed to Harry and was going to get married anyway.
As a wedding present, Sirius, in his role of godfather, brought Hermione the bookshop Flourish and Blotts, which Hermione renamed to The Book Hut, expanding the property with a permanent expansion Charm in order to add not just the current stock, but also Muggle fiction, in order to allow the Muggleborns to feel more at home in the Wizarding World.
Owning the bookshop, and its associated printing press, allowed Hermione to write a series of biographies of people in the wizarding world, the first one being a biography of the late Goblin Leader, King Ragnock II, a biography which earnt her the accolade of 'Friend of the Goblin Nation', the last friend of the Goblin Nation being her ancestor, Hector Dagworth-Granger, and his friend, Ralston Potter.
Hannah and Harry, however, whilst occasionally looking after the bookshop, only closing it overnight and on days where either Hannah or Hermione were giving birth, became employed by the Ministry of Magic under the new Minister, Amelia Black. Harry rising through the Department of International Magical Cooperation, firstly becoming involved in the organisation of the 2002 Beauxbatons TriWizard Tournament
That Tournament was the first to be hailed as the safest tournament for competitors, leading to it being renamed the QuadWizard Tournament in 2006 when Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry decided to join in the competition. in 2005, Harry was co-opted as a member of the negotiators between Britain and Magical Europe, leading to a deal which championed free trade between the two powers, albeit without the immigration problem that the Muggle Great Britain did not have.
Hannah, being the daughter of a former Auror, decided to get a job within the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, retiring from front line duties when she became pregnant in 2002 with her first son, Fleamont Harry Abbot, named after Harry and his grandfather, and Fleamont's twin sister, Susan Hannah, named after Susan and her best friend, Susan Bones, subsequently becoming the Transfiguration Professor at Hogwarts.
Hermione and Harry had four children together, the first one going back on her promise not to inflict a Shakespearian name on him by calling him Lysander Puck Potter, with his two sisters having normal names, the first being Rose Sophie and the second being Lily Amelia. The fourth child was a surprise, however, as Hermione had not expected to get pregnant again, naming the youngest child James Sirius Potter, a decision she had made Harry regret, especially as he had entered an Unbreakable Vow with Sirius to give the child his godfathers name as a middle name!
As she heard the Floo open, with Teddy Lupin, the son of their former Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor Remus Lupin and Sirius's cousin, Nymphadora Tonks, and Regulus Black, the son of Sirius and Amelia.
Heading to the bottom of the stairs, Hermione was getting annoyed with her oldest son taking long to get dressed ready for his first day at Hogwarts.
"LYSANDER PUCK POTTER, GET DOWN HERE NOW!"
As she heard the entire family run down the stairs, one after another, she knew one thing. She knew that all was well.
