Before anyone in the Potter family could blink summer had arrived. Joey's father had been more than willing to let his son stay with the Potters for the summer. He said it would be the perfect time for he and Penelope to really reconnect as a couple and maybe go on a second honeymoon. So the Potter family headed to the summer estate, there they would have plenty of room for the kids to run around and there was somewhere for Joey to go during the full moon. Ginny loved the summer because it was the time for the World Cup which meant a big family camping trip "Is everyone packed?" she asked bringing her own bag downstairs and looking at the four kids sitting on the couch still in pajamas and looking half dead.

"No." they all answered.

"Well go get packed. We are leaving in ten minutes."

"Mummy it's too early." Lily whined.

"I know sweetheart. You can take a nap when we get to the campsite." Ginny promised.

Lily complained all the way upstairs as Ginny led her. Harry came down in jeans and a t-shirt looking at the boys "Boys go get dressed and bring your bags down."

"Too early." they mumbled.

"Fine guess I'll just call up Oliver and tell him to give our tickets to someone else." Before he could finish his sentence all three boys were upstairs and down dressed and knapsacks in hand "Thought that would get you going. Ginny! Darling we must get going!" he called up to her.

"Be right down!" Ginny called back.

Harry sighed and shook his head "Well boys I guess we can head to the backyard."

"Dad where are the dogs?" Albus asked.

"I took them to the kennel yesterday."

"You did? I was at Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron's all day yesterday. Did Duke get his favorite toy?"

"Yes I made sure both he and Chessie had their toys."

Ginny and Lily walked back down, Lily still looking half asleep "Alright we all set then?" she asked looking at Harry.

"I believe we are." Harry smiled picking up his pack.

"Are Ron, Hermione and the kids meeting us at the portkey?"

"I believe so, but you know Ron. He never gets up on time for these things." Harry smirked.

Ginny rolled her eyes "Come on you lot lets get going."

Harry laughed and led the family up to a small foot hill where Ron, Hermione, Rose and Hugo stood "Bout' time mate!" Ron laughed looking at Harry.

He blinked several times "Ron? How the bloody," Ginny narrowed her eyes "er how did you beat us?"

"My wife knows me all to well mate. We camped out here last night." Ron laughed.

Harry rolled his eyes "Well at least you aren't late."

Ron laughed harder "Too right! Now then portkey leaves in five minutes."

"Anyone else coming with us?"

"No, the rest of the family is meeting us there. Charlie was able to borrow one of the big tents from the reserve, so we can all stay in one tent. The bloody thing has ten rooms."

"Ronald!" Hermione scolded.

"What? It does." Ron looked at her confused.

"Honestly Ronald there are children present."

"We hear worse at school Aunt Mione'." James shrugged.

"Lovely." Both Hermione and Ginny responded. The group sat there talking for another few minutes before the old can started to glow.

"There's our cue!" Ron smiled "Everyone touch the can!"

Ten hands reached and touched any part of the can they could reach and were immediately pulled through a sort of wormhole "Let go!" Harry instructed.

"What?" the kids all looked at him confused.

"Let go!" The adults said together.

Screaming the kids let go falling to the ground. The adults walked gracefully to the ground laughing "In the words of my father 'that'll clear the sinus'!'" Ron laughed helping Rose up.

Harry laughed as well picking Lily up. Ginny and Hermione shook their heads helping the boys up and brushing them off. The two families headed off down the road to their camp site. The wizard standing there smiled at the adults "Mornin' Potter's and Weasley's!"

"Mornin' Smithers." Ginny smiled "Having any trouble checking people in?"

"None whatsoever ma'm." Smithers beamed "Now you all are down this road," he pointed on the map "just past the second oak and to the left. Can't miss that monstrosity of a tent you have set up." he laughed.

"Oh I'm sure." Ginny laughed taking the map from the man and walked away.

"Who was he mummy?" Lily asked holding her hand.

"That was Alexander Smithers, he works with me at the Prophet. He's kind of our PR person. He sets up all the camps for everyone. Stakes them out, that kind of stuff."

"Oh." Lily said as they continued their walk. It was shortly after beginning that they found the tent Smithers had laughed about. It was large, but not a monstrosity as he had said. It looked simply like a large family tent muggles had.

"Alright everyone inside." Harry said holding the flap open, everyone filed in except Joey "Everything alright Joey?" he asked.

"Mr. Potter, how is everyone fitting in that tent?"

Harry chuckled "Trust me." Joey shook his head but walked into the tent and felt his jaw drop at how large it was inside. It was like a house "Magic is pretty impressive isn't it?"

Joey nodded looking at the other members of the Weasley family playing cards, chess, reading, and just keeping busy "Harry! Ron! Glad to see you finally made it." Charlie laughed.

"Yes well some of us could not get moving this morning." Harry smiled.

"Now you're sounding like dad there Potter." George laughed.

Harry laughed "Where are Gin and I sleeping?"

"Third door." Charlie pointed. Harry and Ginny nodded and walked towards the room to deposit their packs. Once their parents were out of sight the three Potter kids, two Weasley kids, and Joey collapsed onto the couch "Tired?" he asked Lily.

"Yes." she nodded.

"Would you like to go sleep with the girls? They all went to lay down."

"Yes please." Lily said curling up into a ball on the couch falling asleep almost instantly.

"Don't move her now Charlie, she's out." Angelina laughed.

"Poor Lily, she looked absolutely exhausted!" Allie said looking at Ginny.

"She couldn't sleep at all. She was just too excited to come here and spend time with the family."

"Poor dear." Audrey sighed shaking her head "Lucy was the same way when she was little."

"She's still little." Percy muttered to which Audrey rolled her eyes.

"Perce your daughter is almost thirteen." Ron laughed.

"Yes and Rose is eleven and off to Hogwarts in September." Percy said looking at his younger brother.

"Hey now, she hasn't gotten her letter yet."

"Daddy I got it yesterday." Rose muttered from the couch.

"That's right Ron she did." Hermione smiled.

"Did he feint like George when Roxie got hers?" Angelina asked.

"Or try to burn it like Charlie?" Allie giggled looking at her husband.

"Or ow' about telling er' she es to young to attend school." Fleur looked at Bill.

"Or heaven forbid floo the school and tell them they had made a mistake on her age?" Audrey looked at Percy.

"I don't remember dad over reacting when I got my letter." Ginny said walking out of the room and into the main room "In fact I remember him being excited." she looked at each of her brothers "Or am I remembering incorrectly?"

"No you are remembering correctly Ginny." Arthur said walking into the tent followed by Molly.

"Dad!" the Weasley kids exclaimed.

"I thought you couldn't make it." George said giving him a hug.

Arthur shrugged "I was able to rearrange some things."

"Too loud." Lily groaned grabbing a pillow and putting it over her face.

Harry chuckled and walked over to his daughter picking her up "Bug, would you like to lay down in mummy and dad's room?"

"Please." Lily muttered eyes still closed.

Harry picked the small girl up and carried her to the room. Ginny shook her head and looked at her family "Has anyone heard from Teddy?"

"No, we figured he was coming with you." Bill said from his chair.

"I hope he comes." Victorie said walking out from the girls room. All the adults looks at her "You know because it's a Weasley family tradition."

"Gag me with a freaking spoon." Dominique muttered from next to her aunt.

Ginny wrapped her arm around her and gave her a little squeeze "She just has a crush Dom."

Dominique rolled her eyes "No Aunt Gin, she has a lust. She is lusting for Teddy."

Ginny sighed and gave her another squeeze "It will all work out."

"I know, sad that I'm rooting for another girl. I love my sister, but she needs to find someone else." Dominique said walking out of the tent.

Bill watched her and shook his head. Fleur moved to walk out of the tent, but he stopped her "I've got her." he said walking out of the tent.

"DADDY!" several screams came from the girls room.

"What on earth?" Audrey exclaimed looking at the room. Everyone watched as the girls came flying out of the room.

"What's wrong?" Charlie asked picking Mariah up.

"A mouse!" Mariah said looking at Charlie.

"A big huge ugly mouse!" Molly and Lucy said hiding behind Percy.

A laugh from the room made everyone raise an eyebrow "You girls are just too easy!" Fred laughed walking out of the room a rubber mouse on his shoulder "It's not even real!"

"Frederick Arthur Weasley do not make me send you to Aunt Muriel's." Angelina said narrowing her eyes at her son.

Fred's tan skin paled "Sorry mum."

Roxanne laughed "Ha! Freddie finally got in trouble!"

"Wait mum, you said I would never go to Great-Great Auntie Muriel's again because last time I went she fed me ice cream till I was sick." Fred said looking at her horrified.

"So close." Angelina sighed.

Molly laughed softly and placed a hand on Angelina's shoulder "Just like his namesake, always able to come up with a way to get out of trouble." Angelina and several of the others laughed at this.

"So when do we leave for the pitch?" Bill asked walking back inside with Dominique.

"I say about five." Harry said.

"Oh shit, I need to get to the press tent." Ginny said looking at her watch "Damnit, damnit, damnit, I'm late." she kissed Harry quickly before running out of the tent.

Molly opened her mouth to scold her daughter, but Ginny was gone before she could "That girl! I really should wash her mouth out with soap!"

"Mum when have you ever washed any of our mouths out because we cursed?" George asked.

"Well never, but you never did that in front of children."

"Please Grandma we hear worse at school." Lucy rolled her eyes.

"Yeah honestly the 'f word' is after every word with some kids." Victorie said shaking her head.

Dominique opened her mouth to curse more than likely only to find her mothers hand there "Hello family!" Teddy smiled walking into the tent.

"Teddy!" Lily yelled running out of the room and into his arms "Teddy, Teddy, Teddy, Teddy!" she cried hugging his neck.

Teddy laughed hugging her tightly "Hello little ladybug!"

"Lily, honestly let the man breathe." Harry laughed.

"Nope, Teddy is mine this weekend." Lily said clinging to him.

Teddy laughed "That's okay with me kiddo. Can I say hi to everyone else please?"

"Go ahead." Lily smiled clinging tighter.

"Take it I'm saying hi with you?"

"Yep." she smiled brightly.

Teddy laughed making his rounds with his adopted sister clinging to him. The rest of the day went fast with everyone laughing and sharing stories. Lily stayed true to her word and clung to Teddy as if her life depended on it. Harry was careful not to let anyone share the story of his fourth year and that particular Quidditch World Cup. At five sharp Ginny was back with her family and Lily was still clinging to Teddy as they headed to the stadium. Their seats were amazing as they sat with Kingsley, Holly, and Tiana. Ireland and Puddlemere were both greatly supported teams. Of course Harry, Angelina and George showed their support for their former team captain while the rest of the family supported Ireland. "Daddy why do you support Puddlemere?" Lily asked.

"Because of Oliver." James said "I don't care that he's Ben's dad. I like Ireland better."

"I heard that." Ben yelled looking up at his friend smiling.

James laughed looking over the railing "What are you doing down there?"

"Family box! You, Joey, and Fred should come down!" Ben smiled looking at his mum who nodded.

"Please?" the boys asked looking at Harry, Ginny, George and Angelina.

"Alright, stay together though!" Angelina and Ginny warned.

"Yes ma'm!" the boys said together scrambling from the box.

Ginny shook her head "Boys." she muttered turning her attention back to the game. The families loyalties changed each time one team was ahead of the other.

"Come on Wood!" Charlie snapped when Oliver missed a Quaffle "You guarded better at Hogwarts! You snotty little git!"

"Charlie!" Allie scolded.

"What? He was!" he laughed.

The game was over five hours later. Puddlemere had won and for the most part everyone seemed happy. Another hour past and the family was back in their tent getting the younger kids ready for bed while the older ones made hot coco and tea. Harry was on patrol that night and couldn't be happier to be out of the tent. Ben had joined the group for the night and that led to several arguments about the game. He was glad when he kissed his wife, daughter, and mother-in-law and was able to leave the chaotic tent. It wasn't much better out in the campground. Everyone was celebrating and Harry and several other Aurors broke up countless fights.

When Ron joined Harry an hour later he was exhausted "Ron I feel like an old man. These patrols are getting longer and honestly the people fighting seem to be getting younger. I pulled two 17 year old kids apart earlier."

"17? Wow, they are getting younger. Just think though, we don't have to deal death eaters and dark marks." Ron laughed.

Harry was about to join him when a scream from the northeast side of the camp made both of them raise their wands. Looking in the sky Harry shook his head "No, no this isn't happening."

There in the sky a bright green dark mark flew in the sky.
