Primary School Reunion: The Invitation

"I'm not going!" Harry said, for what seemed like the millionth time. His wife Ginny and his two best friends, Ron and Hermione, were sitting there watching Harry go berserk over an invitation.

"Come on, mate. It couldn't have been that bad. I'm sure some of your old friends would still like to see you." Ron said. Harry just shook his head, and kept repeating, "I'm not going!"

"Dudley changed Harry. Maybe the others have too," Hermione tried to reason with him. All of a sudden Ginny lost her temper and started yelling,

"HARRY JAMES POTTER! FOR MERLIN'S SAKES, IT'S JUST A PRIMARY SCHOOL REUNION! YOU WILL GO TO THAT PARTY AND CATCH UP WITH YOUR MUGGLE FRIENDS. RON, HERMIONE AND I ARE COMING WITH THE KIDS AND THIS IS THE END OF THAT DISCUSSION!"

She stormed of into one of the many rooms of the vast Potter Mansion, leaving a stunned Harry, Ron and Hermione in her wake.

"Well mate, you heard the lady and unless you want to be Avada Kedavra'd, I suggest you start preparing for your party!" Ron said and apparated away with a giggling Hermione.

The Potter-Weasley clan was gathered in the sitting room of the Potter Mansion in excitement.

"Alright, everyone. This is going to be the official story for the muggles." Harry said, nervously. He wasn't even 10% confident that this story was going to be accepted by the muggles, seeing as he didn't even have a lot of background in muggles way of life.

James, Albus, Rose and Hugo were bouncing with excitement. As far as they knew, they were playing a game with their parents. Little Lily was sitting in her mother's lap not caring about a thing going on around her.

Ron lounged about comfortably on the long sofa, and looked like he was preparing himself for story time. Hermione was cross-referencing various muggle books to make sure that their story would make sense. Ginny was relaxing comfortably, and looked expectantly at Harry to begin his story.

"Alright. We live in London, but went to school in Scotland, where Ron, Hermione, Ginny and I went to grade school together. Ron and I went to the Police Academy, and graduated, While Hermione and Ginny went to Nursing school. Ginny and I married right out of grade school, and Ron and Hermione married a year later. Everyone with me so far?" Harry asked.

Ron, Hermione and Ginny nodded. James, Albus, Rose and Hugo just kept bouncing up and down, while Little Lily kept giggling for no reason at all.

"I tried to come up with a story that resembles our own, without having to change a lot." Harry said.

"Mate, if we wrote down our story, it'll be more of a fictional book" Ron said, chuckling nervously, as he tried to memorize the words "Police" and "Nursing."

Hermione rolled her eyes. "What Harry meant was, we stick close to the Auror training and Healer apprenticeships, and just switch them with muggle terms. Isn't that right, Harry?"

Harry nodded and turned to his children. James had just finished his third year at Hogwarts and was home for the summer. Albus just started his first year at Hogwarts, and Lily was an 8 year old with a great understanding of the world. She knew everything that went on around her, but she still acted like she was 4. Obviously her Fathers daughter (who spoiled her to no ends).

Rose was the same age as Albus, and was the smartest witch of their year. She inherited her mother's love for knowledge, but knew when to speak up and when not to. She wasn't generally regarded as the know-it-all, but she really does know most things that many older students would never guess. Hugo was the same age as Lily, and they were the best of friends. They did everything together, to a point where it is impossible to find one without the other.

"Now listen, all of you," Harry said, sternly, "I know none of you had a lot of interaction with muggles, but I expect you on your best behavior. This is not the time to play pranks" he told James and Albus strictly, "and not the time to accidently show any knowledge of the magical world," he said this pointedly at Hugo and Lily, since they were the only ones who had never had any contacts with muggles.

Ron sat up and said seriously, "You have to obey all rules we set you or else we could get in trouble with the Ministry, and James, Albus and Rose could even be expelled from school," getting wide eyed fear from all three.

"Now, do you understand everything we have said so far?" Ginny asked the kids.

"Yes, Aunt Ginny"

"Yes, Mom"

"Yes, Ma" came from the three.

"Alright, everyone. Best get ready for tomorrow. Good luck, sleep well, and I'll see you all tomorrow morning to practice over the story, Alright?" Harry asked. Getting nods from the various member of the Weasley family, and his own, they all parted ways silently murmuring a prayer of their own.
