            Professor Minerva McGonagall looked shrewdly at a stack of papers in front of her. It was three days before the start of term and all the necessary things had been taken care of and now all she was doing was waiting for the students to arrive. But before the term would start, she would have to go to the yearly Potter dinner at Potter Manor. This dinner was the reason Minerva sat with these papers, she was reviewing.

            Ginny and Harry had married shortly after Harry had defeated Voldemort and remolded Potter Manor. Then they proceeded to shag like bunnies and produce twelve children. If Minerva knew any better she would have walloped Sybil when she predicted all those damn children. And every year since their first child started attending Hogwarts, a huge dinner was held at their house. The invites included all the Hogwarts Professors, family and close friends. Every year, Minerva studied and she studied hard. It was difficult to keep track of all the Potters and so she kept a file on ever member of the family as to refresh her memory for the dinner and for the school year.

            “Well shall we get started Minerva?” A smooth voice said, accompanied by a scowl.

            “Why of course Severus.” She pulled out the first paper and summarized it for Severus Snape. He also reviewed with her, because even though he came out on the right side of the war, Harry always kept his eye on him.

            “Alta Minerva Potter is a fifth year Gryffindor. Her birthday is December 3^rd. She’s a prefect along with her boyfriend Simon Lupin. She’s got shoulder length red hair, enough freckles to reckon with and green eyes. She’s taking all the normal courses with top marks. She owns a grey cat named Wilson that she is very fond of and plays Chaser for the Gryffindor house team. Her temper is as bad as both her mother and fathers but she stays out of trouble most of the time.”

            Severus sneered at the Minerva, Alta certainly was a Potter. She acted exactly like her father at school and ran around with Remus and Tonks’ son Simon. They certainly were a pair, most of the time they would spend time down by the lake or in the Dark Forest. Simon had the ability to turn into a pink wolf at will, much to everyone’s displeasure. But they both had top marks and were prefects.

            “Do you have it all memorized? She’s the easy one, since we’ve known her for 5 years here at school.” Minerva took the page on Alta and slipped it to the back, pulling another one from the top.

            “The first batch of twins...” Severus rolled his eyes. Yes, only the first. Minerva looked up and then read on.

            “Lily Marie Potter and Tuesday Jane Potter are both third year Gryffindors and are 13. Their birthday is May 12^th. They are identical twins, jet black hair that goes down their backs, amber eyes and of course freckles. They own a pet owl named Killer. Tuesday is the Keeper for the Gryffindor team and Lily commentates. They take all the normal courses and get top marks, they were almost sorted into Ravenclaw and they spend their free time in the library. Obviously you are aware of them being in your 3^rd year class.”

            “They actually aren’t bad for Potters, they keep very quiet and both excel in Potions.” Severus said as he motioned for her to go on.

            “Alright, well then there is James Arthur Potter and Sirius Arthur Potter. They will be first years this year. They too, are identical twins born July 10th.”

            “Oh Merlin help me.” Severus looked ill, if they were anything like who they were named after then he was surely in trouble. Minerva plugged on.

            “They are troublesome from what I’ve seen. They look exactly like Harry, it’s frightening. They act rashly and insanely just like Sirius Black and of course have inherited the Fred and George Weasley gene. They own this giant wolf for a pet, and to think we actually are going to allow it to stay here, but its name is Eleanor. They are trying out for the Gryffindor team as beaters, and they are surely to get on. Lord knows if they will even come to class, probably the brightest and most troublesome first years this year.” Minerva shook her head at the thought of the two most unruly twins.

            “Remus Percy Potter and Romulus Phineas Potter are 10. They were born on April fools day. They have short red hair, green eyes but are very studious. They both play the Chaser position. They are a lot like Remus Lupin actually, but unfortunately I hear they lack in their potion making skills but I’m sure they make up for it in their other areas.”

            “I’m sure.” Severus sneered. “And what of their pets?”

            “Two doves, Snitch and Quaffle.”

            “Fitting.”

            “Well, yes. Anyway, they are bright boys.” She looked worriedly at Severus before continuing with the next.

            “Konstantine Molly Potter is 8 and she is a metamorphous. She was born on Halloween and is just as much as a trouble maker as James and Sirius. Fortunately for us, at the dinner she is made to keep her own appearance. She has short black hair and amber eyes but when she comes to school I suspect it will be disastrous. Anyway, she’s got this kneazle that stalks and attempts to kill everything. Her name is Pumpkin’. She plays the Seeker position and talks very fast. So do try and keep up.”

            “My pleasure.” Severus again looked ill as Minerva moved on.

            “Then there are the triplets, but thankfully they aren’t identical. They were born on September 8^th and they are 6. Brian Hagrid Potter has curly black hair and amber eyes. Albus Ronald Potter has curly ginger hair with green eyes. Elizabeth Hermione Potter looks exactly like her mother. They have a sick fascination with magical creatures and I heard Harry has managed to secure a dragon for their birthday. Oh that is dreadful, but anyway, they spend a lot of time with Hagrid and Gwarp.”

            “Oh goody.” Severus continued to feel like the world was ending.

            “And FINALLY comes Luca Scarlett. She’s three, born on the 10^th of August. She looks exactly like her father but we’ve just found of late that she can burst into flames. She’s an elemental, which will be pleasantly useful in the future but hell for Ginny I’m sure. Imagine trying to calm a child when she is a ball of fire, LITERALLY!”

            “That’s just brilliant.” He slumped into his chair.

            “All set for the dinner tomorrow then?” Severus stood up from his chair and shot a look of loathing towards Minerva.

            “Oh yes, tickled pink Minerva. I just hope Harry doesn’t give me ears like last dinner.” Minerva tried not to laugh at her vivid memory from last year.

            “Of course not Severus. See you tomorrow.” All she got was a grunt in reply… the Potter family would never rest until Severus Snape was locked up in St. Mungos.
