Minerva swept into the Great Hall for dinner as quickly as her 9 month pregnant belly would allow. She was tired and her feet were ridiculously swollen. She quickly kissed Ainslie, Calum and then Harry before moving to the podium. It was the leaving feast and time for her speech once again. "Good evening student," she started. "Another year has passed and.."

Minerva leaned heavily on the podium as she scrunched her face up in pain. Poppy rushed to her aid just as her water broke. "Harry," Poppy called as he was handing the twins to Hermione and Neville. "Pack your wife to your quarters. She's in active labor."

Excited squels erupted in the Great Hall as Harry carried Minerva McGonagall bridal style out of the room and rushed her to their living quarters. Poppy rushed to her office to grab her Medibag. It would be a tiring night but she couldn't help but hope Minerva made it to midnight before she gave birth. How wonderful would it be if all three children shared the same birthday.

Minerva laid back against Harry exhausted but she couldn't help but smile. A crying baby girl laid on her chest as she cooed softly to her. "Hush now wee one."

"Do you have a name yet," Poppy asked.

Harry smiled and wrapped his arms around his girls. He nodded and then said, "Fiona Rose Potter."

"Lovely," Poppy said. "Let Harry hold her for a minute while I check you." Poppy was startled by a blinding white light surrounding the family. It lasted less than a minute but panicked Poppy regardless. "What happened," she asked when the light disappeared.

Minerva met her gaze in suprise. "I think she healed me," she said.

"Harry if you will please hold Fiona," Poppy said urgently. "I need to record this!"

Harry did as was asked and watched as Poppy ran diagnostic spells. Poppy burst out laughing once the results were in. "Little Fiona did more than heal you," Poppy said amused. "She somehow revived your reproduction organs to that of a 20 year old witch and I am pretty sure contraception potions won't work for you."

"What," Minerva sputtered.

"Little Fiona has pretty much guaranteed a house full of siblings for herself," Poppy chuckled uncontrollably. "I have never heard of anything like this."

Minerva looked at Harry helplessly. He grinned before saying, "I am all for a large family." Fiona giggled at that!

Harry walked in the nursery with Calum and Ainslie secure in his arms. Minerva was sitting in the glider feeding Fiona and speaking with her mother, James and Lily. "Mummy," Ainslie screamed excitedly.

Minerva chuckled. "Good morning my little love. I hope you were good for Aunt Hermione."

"Just one hair changing incident," Harry supplied. "She disagreed with Neville's book choice."

Minerva snorted. "At this point he should just let Ainslie grab one off the shelf," Minerva said.

Harry moved closer to the glider and gave the twins their first look at Fiona. They stared wide-eyed. "This is your new baby sister Fiona," Harry said softly as he settled next to Minerva in the newly enlarged glider.

Calum lost interest soon enough and started waving at the portraits. Ainslie looked at Fiona for a few minutes before coming to a conclusion. "My babydoll," she said excitedly and reach out her arms for the baby.

Harry and Minerva smiled at one another before Minerva gently held Fiona to Ainslie so she could help hold her. "Isn't that precious," Isobel's portrait said as Ainslie kissed Fiona's cheek.

"It sure is," Lily Potter agreed and she watched her family. When their portrait had first been created and she had saw Harry for the first time she had been happy if not a little sad at missing so much of his life. When he had told her of his life to that point, she had cried and screamed. Her baby had been through so much. Then he had told of the marriage law and how he had been Soulmates with Minerva McGonagall. That one had puzzling her until she saw them together. They were in love and Lily loved seeing their growing family. A thought occurred to her and she asked, "Is Fiona the last one for you?"

Harry looked amused and like he was attempting to hold back his laughter. Minerva frowned at him before sighing, "We doubt it. When Fiona was laid on my chest she wrapped me up in blinding white magic. Poppy said she managed to revive my reproduction system to that of a 20 year old witch. Poppy doubts contraception potions will work for me either."

"The wee lass wanted more siblings," Isobel laughed as she looked at her daughter. "You love children, always have, and you will excel at this. A house is always better when filled with laughing children. "

Minerva rolled her eyes and commented, "I believe you stopped at three."

"Aye," Isobel responded. "But I was working to feed you on a parishioners salary. There's only so much you can stretch that. I wouldn't have been able to feed another mouth."

Minerva looked at her mother's portrait and frowned. "I never realized about the finances. How did you manage to buy our school supplies?"

Isobel smirked before admitting, "There was loophole my parents didn't realize. When they disowned me for marrying your father, they assumed I would be cut out of everything and my siblings would inherit everything. My Grandfather wrote his will in such a way that it entitled me to half of his vault even though I was technically no longer a Ross. The only stipulation was I had to name my first born daughter Minerva. I heard he was a seer but I was never able to confirm that."

"Fascinating," Lily breathed. "If he was a seer he probably realized Minerva wouldn't need the Ross title. She would marry into an ancient and noble house."

"Indeed," Isobel said with a grin.

Hogwarts Happenings arrived the following day. The main story was of Headmistress Minerva McGonagall and her family greeting the students as they left for the summer. The picture showed Harry and Minerva in an overstuff couch conjured near the gates. A plush blanket in front of them had Calum and Ainslie playing merrily and waving at the students. A small crib with Fiona resting near Minerva's reach. It was a lovely picture and the title of the article Great Things Happen When The Headmistress Loves the Students More Than The Position! The article was filled with positive ways Minerva had transformed Hogwarts to the betterment of the students. It sung her praises!

The rest of the paper made note of every change implemented amd how successful the heritage tests proved. Fourteen previously extinct lines were revived and those vaults had been rightfully claimed. Articles of how new sports and house teams were implemented along with pictures. Articles about new accomplishments and discoveries from the staff members were elaborated on.

But a little article written by Minerva McGonagall was the favorite of all. It told of the excitement and joy of the teachers on the last day in August as they prepared to have their students back in their care. Hogwarts' halls were meant to be crowded with rambunctious, overly excited and mischievous students. Those who love learning and are frequently ran out of the library. The students who are unsure of what they want to do and those just yearning for the chance to prove themselves. I selfishly ask you to send your children and allow us to mold, shape and love them. Let us take as much pride as you when they leave our doors for the last time as students and make their mark on the world!

"That was a magical article Minerva," Hermione commented later that evening when several of the staff were enjoying drinks in Minerva's quarters before heading to their summer destinations. "You allowed the world to see your heart."

"That strict Professor McGonagall act will never work again," Rolonda teased. "No credibility at all."

Minerva shrugged her shoulders in response. "I will gladly trade that ice queen persona for what I have now! Who would have thought a halfcocked Ministry Marriage Law would actually turn out so well. I shall always be thankful for that ridiculous law!"

The room erupted into laughter and baby giggles as the adults clicked their glasses and had a merry time!
