The day was very exciting. The Potters, Cheryll and Scorpius almost forgot about their worries. Almost. Albus, Cheryll and Scorpius were talking about how their day went. James and Lily also joined them. Albus and James were talking again as they had apologized and agreed that there were more important things rather than fighting over houses.

"My favourite uncle is of course Uncle Charlie. I told you earlier also. He hasn't married because he finds his job cooler than falling in love." said Albus.

"Who was the blue haired person, Teddy? He seemed very sweet but it was pretty evident that he is not one of your uncles because you were calling him by his name and he was not a red-head.'' asked Cheryll.

"Ooohh! He is Ted Lupin. Remus lupin's son. He drops by around four days a week.  He practically lives here. And he is in looove with Victoirre" said Lily, dreamily.

''Anyone can fall in love with Victoirre she is so beautiful. Pity, she is not my age.'' Said James.

"Any idea why Luna didn't come?" asked Albus.

"I don't know, she usually comes." said Lily whose face had dropped.

"What happened Lily. Thinking about Lysander?" teased James

"Whose Lysander?" asked Cheryll

"He is a Ravenclaw and Lily loves him." said James

"No I don't. He is just a friend." said Lily who was blushing very hard.

"Hey Scorpius, why are you not speaking anything?" asked Albus

"I am thinking about something." he answered

"If it is not about Hogwarts a History or any other book then tell us." said Albus

"I was thinking if Rose would say yes if I asked her out.."

"Well, let me clear it for you. No offence but she would not say yes to you even if you were the last guy on this planet." said James.

"That was rude." said Cheryll

"I know but he is a Slytherin and she is a Gryffindor. She would never ever say yes."

"There is a first time for everything." said Scorpius.

"It's your funeral." said James. Cheryll quickly changed the topic.

"I found Angelina pretty nice." said Cheryll hastily.

"Yeah but she didn't really like Uncle George. She was in love with Fred and after his death she was as devastated as Uncle George. He knew it and proposed to her. She said yes because she felt that he was just his other half. She was the one who had decided to name their son Fred." said James.

"But did George like her enough to marry her?" asked Scorpius.

"I don't think so. He dated Alicia Spinnet but he knew what Angelina was going through and he felt that marrying her would remind him of Fred. I am not sure there is much love between them but they are pretty happy with each other." said Albus.

"What about Percy?" asked Cheryll

"Ohh, I am so happy that Uncle Percy married Audrey. He was ever serious and she is the exact opposite. They balance each other.  Sometimes I doubt how they like each other." said Lily

"And what about Ron?" asked Scorpius curiously.

"As far as I know, Uncle Ron had feelings for Aunt Hermoine in his 4th year and she started liking her in their 6th year. But they were both chickens to say anything so they started dating during the Battle of Hogwarts. Not the best timing but better late than never." said Lily.

"What about Bill and Fleur?" asked Cheryll

"They met during dad's 4th year. I have no idea how they bonded but I know that mom and Aunt Hermoine hated her and Uncle Ron liked her a lot." said James.

"What about your mum and dad?" asked Scorpius.

"For mum it was love at first sight but dad realized about his feelings in his 6th year. They dated for a while but dad broke up with her to keep her safe. I guess they started going out after the battle." said Albus.

"Well well" they heard a voice which belonged to Ginny "All of them done. Now go to bed. How can you find discussing your uncles' love life interesting?" she asked, amused.

"Oh mom, we will sleep but you should stop eavesdropping." said Lily, irritated.

"I don't think you would tell Lysander the same thing." Ginny smiled and left.

The next day the five children woke up hearing a shriek. Ginny was shouting Harry's name madly.

''Mom, we are trying to sleep here." said Albus irritated.

''Cheryll, could you do what you just did?" asked Ginny. She was trying to appear as if she was fine but her face didn't agree with her.

''What, sleep?" asked Cheryll confusedly.

Harry came and asked Ginny what happened. ''I don't want to appear mad but Cheryll was speaking something which looked like... like... uh.... parseltongue."

"WHAT?!'' all of them said together.

"I don't know how to speak it anymore but I would surely recognize it. Can you please speak?" asked Harry.

"I had no idea that I was speaking it. How can I speak something I don't know how to?"

"Try." they all said.

"Hello." she said

"English" said Albus.

"Yes, because I don't know how to speak it." she said.

"Just two more tries and if you still can't do it then you can't speak it." said Ginny

Cheryll took a deep breath and spoke something but it wasn't English, it was a hissing sound. All of the Potters and Scorpius were staring at her with their mouth open.

"So?" she asked

"Cheryll Ginevra Chang- Hamilton you are a parselmouth." said James as all the others were not in the state of even moving.
