-1The summer sun beamed through the window of Harry's office. The four white walls were plastered in enchanted photographs; the beautiful February wedding, Ginny wearing her stunning white as snow dress surrounded by the Weasleys. When Harry proposed to Ginny; over a candle lit dinner, the flames dancing in the soft breeze. Ron and Hermione's wedding in the same venue as Harry's wedding; the snow falling onto Hermione's tiara and white beautiful dress.
'... you know I love your Shepard's Pie, Ginny. But I have to work; I haven't even finished this paper work.' Harry picked up his pen, leaning the phone on his shoulder, filling in a section of the Underage Wizarding Decree case. 'You keep trying to lure me home early, you little madam. It won't work' Harry put down his pen, and a wide smile grew across his face. 'OK, that might work ... Ginny, if you keep this up then I might have to-' the door of his opened, he dropped the phone into his lap, picked up the pen, lifting up the report to his face, he sat in silence. Peering over the top, he saw Cho Chang standing there, looking at him, smiling.
Harry, lowering the paper picking up the phone, grinned at Cho.
'You could have knocked' Harry said gesturing to a chair in front of his desk. She walked towards it slowly.
'And miss the look on your face every time? No chance' she sat in the chair, running her fingers through her hair. Harry smiling at her put the phone back gently to his ear.
'Sorry about that, Gin. I though it was your dad' Harry laughed childishly, aware that Cho was watching him; he cleared his throat. 'Well, I hope you can keep that up, or keep it up long enough for me to watch you.' He looked down at the paper work, writing a short comment and signing the page. 'You got another stomach ache? That's the third this week. Maybe you ate something dodgy ...' Harry froze, his eyes fixed upon the paper work, slowly looking up at the photographs; contemplating.
'You're pregnant? When? This morning? Wow, I'm going to be a daddy' He smiled, overwhelmed he laughed shortly. 'I hope he or she has your beauty, and your Quidditch skills ... its early days isn't it, Ginny? We have lots of time to plan' Harry smiled again, looking at the clock. 'I finish work at six, it's quarter to' Harry roared wit laughter 'I can't ask your dad to go home early so I can show you some love! Okay, okay. I'll leave as soon as the clock chimes six. Okay? I promise. I love you' He put down the phone, grinning, incapable of containing himself.
'You're going to be Daddy Harry, are you? I'm happy for you. And Ginny, you guys deserve to be happy. And that baby had wonderful parents. You two been busy, eh?' Cho grinned, leaning her elbows in his desk, reaching for the file he has just written. 'You're the best man for this job, Harry. And the best man to be daddy. Do you want a girl or a boy?'
'I just want a healthy, happy baby. Ginny wants a girl. She would call her Lily, after my mum and if it's a boy, James, after my dad. She thinks that if we named the kids after my mum and dad it will be like knowing them, if you know what I mean' Harry stood up, walking to the wall, picking a photograph of their wedding, when they said their vows, hand in hand. Slowly he walked back to Cho, handing her the picture. Cho, watching the picture, smiled.
'I know what you mean. It's a shame you couldn't get to know them at all. You're a sweet guy Harry, and I will always be here if you need a friend' Cho smiled looking at Harry.
'I, er ... I know it's early days but, eh ... You're a close family friend and I think that, you are practically like family anyway and - Do you want to be godmother?'
Cho's eyes filled with tears; nodding enthusiastically.
'I'd love to be Godmother' Harry smiled, everything was going right. He had a beautiful wife, a baby on the way and now Cho was to be godmother. Everything was good. Everything was okay. Suddenly, the door burst open again, Malfoy ran in, struggling to breathe. His face sweaty, his pulse racing. Resting on the handle to keep him up.
'Harry, come quick. It's incredible, it's frightening. The sky ... come quick' Harry stood up, he had never seen Malfoy like this before; he sprinted out of the door with Cho nearby.
Running through the Ministry corridors, at quite a panic, breathing heavily. His gut told him this was no ordinary situation. Something big had happened and he and Ginny would be in mortal danger.
Pushing the doors open, looking up at the sky, he saw The Dark Mark, in the sky. Cho and Malfoy appeared behind him; what was this? Was this a hoax? His heart was racing, he remember the people who got hurt before; the lives he lost.
'Is this some kind of joke?!' Cho clung onto Harry's arm tightly.
This was just the beginning, years of nothing; not even the occasional pain in his scar. This was the work of something dark and powerful.
