Raising Albus is turning out to be a challenge. Raising a child that is extraordinarily magically talented is difficult enough, but when the child is the subject of several prophesies the task can be daunting. Harry feels it may have been easier being a child subject to prophesies than raising one. Teddy wants to be an Auror, not the safest occupation. James and Lily pose their own challenges. This story will take us up to Albus and Rose train ride to Hogwarts.  This is the forth book in my "Almost Happily After" series.  It will help to read the first three stories first.  If I have enough reads and reviews I will post my "Albus Potter and" series to this site as well.  

Third of the Almost Happily Ever After series.

Harry and his team of Aurors have captured the last of the supporters of Voldemort. Harry is at a very satisfying point in his career. His happiness is tempered by the severe head injury Ginny received in her last Harpies game.

Harry and Ginny finally get to start a family, and we see the birth of their three 'canon' children plus, of course, the two of Ron and Hermione.

Raising the children continues on in the next story.

This is the second of a planned 4 stories covering Harry and Ginny from the Battle of Hogwarts to the day Albus leaves for Hogwarts. It may help to read the first story, “The First Year,” before reading this story. This story will cover Ginny’s Quidditch career, but focus on Harry’s growing power and influence as they capture the remaining death eaters.

My thanks to Beta readers FriendofMolly who has been with me through all this story.
 

Fairy tales end “And They Lived Happily Ever After,” but good stories continue on "one season following another, laden with happiness ... and tears."  Follow Harry & Ginny as they rebuild their lives the first year after the war: Harry becomes an Auror and finds out that life as a hero has its own challenges, Ginny finds out that having all your dreams come true does not solve all your problems.
 

This story is  abandoned as it is being rewritten. I have decided to leave the much revised first attempt up, even as various Beta readers and I go through the process of crafting a series of (we hope) much better, shorter and more focused “Happily Ever After” stories. The first story, The First Year, is done.  Bad Guys and Broomsticks will start to post shortly.
