=== August 1, 1997 ===
Hermione steps through the floo, dressed in her heir robes, in her hand is William in a baby carrier, Molly immediately sees her from the other room and comes in. "Hermione, it's so good to see you." Molly says as she hugs Hermione, pulling her away from the floor.
"It's good to see you too." Hermione says as she hugs back. As they hug the fireplace flares up and Harry steps through, also in his heir robes carrying Clover and Aaron in baby carriers.
"Harry." Molly says as she releases Hermione and hugs him.
Harry hugs back the best he can with a baby carrier in each hand. "I'd hug back better, but my hands are full."
"Oh, sorry." Molly says as she moves so Harry can put the carriers down.
"It's fine." Harry says as he moves and places the carriers down.
The fireplace flares and Shannon steps through with Iris and Rose at her sides, all three in matching dresses. "You must be Shannon." Molly says. "Pleasure to finally meet you."
"The pleasure is mine Missus Weasley." Shannon replies.
"Now, there will be none of that." Molly says. "Iris and Rose, what is it you call me?"
"Grammy W." They answer in unison.
Molly nods. "Then that's what you should call me as well."
"Are you sure?" Shannon asks.
"Of course."
"Thank you, Grammy W." Shannon says with a smile.
"Come on, Big sis." Rose says.
"We'll show you around." Iris says as they pull the older girl along.
They all chuckle. "So, Molly, since we're here a little early, do you need some help?"
"I'm good in here, you might check with Fleur, she's outside." Molly answers.
They grab the triplets and head outside where they find Fleur standing by a pergola. "Fleur!" Hermione shouts.
Fleur turns around and grins. "Harry! Hermione! It is good to see both of you." She says as she walks over to them and goes to hug them but stops when she sees the baby carriers. "What's this?"
Hermione blushes slightly. "These are our triplets."
Fleur looks at them. "How old are they?"
"5 months." Hermione says.
"Where are your twins?" Fleur asks.
A broom flies overhead, they look up to see Ginny is on it with one of the twins. "Wait up!" Shannon yells as she follows on another broom, the other twin with her.
Hermione sighs. "That was them."
"At least they're wearing shorts under their dresses?" Harry asks.
Hermione rolls her eyes. "Girls! Come meet the bride!"
Ginny brings her broom down. Iris jumps off. "That was great!" She grins as she goes to Hermione, at the same time Ginny takes back off. "Did you see us?"
"Yes, I saw you." Hermione says. "Now, wait for your sister."
Shannon carefully lands her broom. Rose gets off and says. "Thank you for the ride." Shannon nods and heads after Ginny. Rose then walks to Hermione.
"These are the two I was pregnant with during the tournament." Hermione says. "Rose, Iris, this is Fleur."
Both girls curtsey and say in unison: "Congratulations!"
Fleur smiles. "Thank you."
"Can we play now?" Iris asks.
"Yes, run along." Hermione answers and the twins run off to find Shannon and Ginny.
"They seem like a good blend of you and Harry." Fleur says.
"Isn't that what every parent wants?" Hermione asks.
Fleur nods. *Of course."
"Now, I came out here to see if you needed any help." Hermione says.
"Actually," Fleur says hesitantly. "There is something I could use your help with."
"What's that?" Hermione asks.
Fleur points up to some dark storm clouds that are gathering in the sky. "I don't suppose you can do something about those?"
Hermione hands the baby carrier to Fleur then summons the grimoire, the pages turning themselves until it stops. "Actually," she mutters an incantation and the clouds drift away from the Burrow. Hermione grins, "looks like I can."
Fleur hands the baby carrier back with a smile. "Thank you, now I must get dressed."

"Girls, it's time to get ready for the wedding!" Shannon yells as she chases after Rose and Iris.
"Gotta catch us first!" Iris yells as she and Rose giggle and run away.
"Gotcha!" Another female voice says steps up in front of the twins.
"Fleur?" Rose asks confused as they stop and look at the girl who looks like a young Fleur
"Nope, I'm her sister Gabrielle." She answers
"You're the girl mum saved." Iris says.
Gabrielle smiles. "I am, I remember that like it was yesterday."
Shannon steps up behind the girls. "Thanks for helping catch them, they usually listen to me." She catches her breath then extends her hand. "I'm Shannon."
Gabrielle shakes her hand. "Gabrielle."
The two older girls just stand there looking at each other for a moment, still holding hands. "Big sis." Iris says breaking the trance.
"Right," Shannon says, "come on, wedding is this way."
Gabrielle smiles and grasps Shannon's hand tighter. "Let's go."
They run to where the pergola is set up and find Hermione waiting for them chuckling as they approach. Shannon looks and notices that both of the twins' dresses are filthy, and she's not exactly clean.
"I see you and Gabrielle have already hit it off." Hermione says motioning to their clasped hands as she pulls out her wand and casts a spell that cleans and fixes their dresses.
"Yeah, she helped me corral the twins." Shannon says.
Hermione nods. "You two should get to know each other better, you're going to be going to Hogwarts together.*
"Talk after the ceremony?" Gabrielle asks as she lets go of Shannon's hand.
"Sounds good." Shannon says.
#####
Once the ceremony was over Molly ushers everyone out of the pergola so she could prepare it for the reception. Hermione looks at Rose and Iris. "I need to go check on the triplets." She says.
"We'll come." Iris says. Hermione nods and they head into the Burrow, upstairs they find the nursery, Dobby and a very pregnant Winky managing 6 toddlers.
"Thank you both." Hermione says.
"It was our pleasure." Winky nods.
"We got them now." Hermione says. "You should rest."
Winky nods as she runs her belly "Elfling should be here any day."
"Take whatever time you need, we'll figure everything out later." Hermione says.
"Of course." Winky says before her and Dobby vanish.
#####
Once the crowd thins out Shannon finds Gabrielle. "Hey," Shannon says. "We didn't get to talk much earlier."
"Come on, this way before they put us to work." Gabrielle says as she leads them to a little side area where a couple of rocks sit, she carefully sits on one and motions for Shannon to sit on another one.
"So, I hear you're going to Hogwarts instead of Beauxbaton." Shannon says.
Gabrielle nods. "My sister is my guardian, and she's going to live here with Bill. Plus, I want to go to Hogwarts, one of their champions saved me when they didn't have to."
"That makes sense." Shannon says.
"Thank you." Gabrielle says. "Tell me about you."
"Truth is there isn't much to tell." Shannon says. "I don't remember much before being adopted by my Mum." She smiles. "She's tough but fair, you'll like her."
"What do you mean?"
"She's the Headmistress of Hogwarts." Shannon answers.
"Does that mean she'll get you out of trouble?" Gabrielle asks.
"No," Shannon laughs. "She's more likely to double any punishment."
"Then we better follow the rules." Gabrielle says.
"Or just not get caught." Shannon says with a grin.
=== August 3, 1997 ====
In the backyard of the Granger household sits a swing set that looks like a small castle complete with a full set of playground equipment. Iris and Rose play on the swing set while Shannon sits at a nearby picnic table reading one of her Hogwarts books.
The crack of apparition draws Shannon's attention to the fenced off apparition point, her magical bookmark automatically moves to mark her place as she gets up to check who it is. She sees Remus and Tonks walking towards the house, Tonks has a bundle in her arms. "Morning." Shannon says.
"Shannon," Remus says. "Nice to see you again."
"You two as well." Shannon says, then points to the bundle. "What you got there?"
"Not what, who." Tonks answers. "I'd like to introduce our son, Edward Remus Lupin, we call him Teddy after his grandfather."
"Congratulations," Shannon says.
"Thank you." Tonks says as they head inside to see Harry and Hermione.
#####
Meanwhile, in the living room Harry and Hermione are watching the triplets play on the floor when someone knocks on the door. Harry gets up and opens the door only to find Malachi, Cheshire and Magnus. "Come on in," Harry says moving out if the way. "Magnus, if you go through the kitchen you'll find the door to the backyard where the twins are.
"Can I?" Magnus asks looking up at Malachi.
"Yeah, go play." Malachi answers.
Magnus runs through the kitchen not even stopping as he says: "Hi Professor Lupin."
"Hi Magnus." Tonks says as Magnus runs into the backyard.
Remus leads her into the living room and sees Malachi and Cheshire. "I see somehow we managed to both show up at the same time." Remus says.
"And probably for the same reason." Cheshire says as she holds up a bundle.
Tonks walks over and looks at the baby "What's his name?"
"Matthais Meris." Cheshire answers.
"Was he born on July 31st?" Tonks asks.
"Yeah, that's what prompted us to want to ask Harry and Hermione to be Godparents." Cheshire answers.
"Same here." Tonks says.
"Then perhaps you should be each other's Godparents?" Harry suggests.
"Perhaps we split it so that we all have reasons to see each other?" Cheshire offers.
Tonks nods. "Cheshire, would you be Teddy's Godmother?" Cheshire nods. "Then Harry his Godfather?"
"Of course." Harry says. "Then Hermione can be Matthais' Godmother and Remus his Godfather."
"Works with me." Malachi says.
"Are you sure?" Remus asks. "I am a werewolf, still considered an outcast by our society."
"That's fine." Cheshire says with a grin.
"After all, as a former Death Eater I'm not exactly welcomed." Malachi says.
"Sounds like it's settled." Harry says.
