### Site Lore

Mr. and Mrs. Potter of number thirty-one, Bowtruckle Trail, were not at all normal, thank you very much. They were the first people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they'd made a habit of it their entire lives and weren't about to stop now. How could you aim for normalcy after being the Chosen One at the young age of seventeen and watching many of your friends and practically adopted family go on to sacrifice their lives in the hopes that you'd defeat Voldemort? You certainly couldn't achieve it by working for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, or going on to marry a Chaser for the Holyhead Harpies. Still, that was the life that seemed to choose Harry and he made the most of it.

There were nightmares and aftershocks of PTSD from the war but having Ginny at his side made things better. After Ginny's graduation, the pair fell into as inconspicuous a rhythm as possible, spending evenings at each other's flats and talking about their days. Becoming a couple again was something that just sort of happened rather than a conversation that was had, the line between friends and more than that blurry from their history. So, it was a great shock to Harry when, after several years together, Ginny stood in his kitchen, looked him dead in the eye, and asked when the hell he was going to propose.

She wanted him to propose? Huh, well, that was news to him.

So, with the help of Hermione, he picked out a ring and arranged a proposal that he thought would knock Ginny's socks off. Harry James Potter got down on one knee and asked her to marry him… and she said no, then laughed, told him she was kidding and insisted he put the ring on her finger. It set their marriage off on the lighthearted foot that the two Gryffindors needed after all the doom and gloom they had suffered previously. Mrs. Weasley was thrilled to have Harry join the family, but, soon after they tied the knot, the questions about grandchildren started.

At first they were subtle, but then they increased in frequency, and with each time of asking they grew less subtle. By the time James was born, Harry was certain that Mr. Weasley had been tasked to learn how to use a Muggle lie detector to string Harry up so that Mrs. Weasley could determine if he planned on giving her any grandchildren at all. Never mind the fact that she already had several. Then, once James was in Mrs. Weasley's arms, there came the question 'When will you have another?'

That was right around the moment that Harry had to remind himself how much he truly did love his mother-in-law even though she was driving him up the wall.

A couple of years after James joined them, ~~Albus~~ Alba was born, and then two years after that was Lily. Their family was complete at that point and no outside pressure was going to convince them otherwise. Harry and Ginny did their best to give their children a normal childhood, even with the attention that came from her role with the Harpies and Harry’s… existence. Things calmed down slightly when Ginny retired from Quidditch and instead transitioned into management, but it was impossible to escape the attention that came with being a Potter.
