Author's Note: Well, here is my latest story, Albus Severus Potter. Since I only got like 1 review concerning the length and quantity of chapters, I'm going with that persons request. That means that this story will only have 3 chapters, but they will all be longer than the ones in James Sirius Potter. Enjoy this first chapter and review and favorite my story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Honestly, at this point, i'm getting really tired of saying that.
Chapter 1:
"Hey, Gin." Harry whispered. Ginny rolled over in bed to see Harry already dressed completely. "I'm leaving for work. I just changed James and he's asleep again." Harry said. Ginny nodded.
"Thanks Harry." Ginny kissed Harry before turning over again in bed. Harry is an Auror which means he has to work everyday of the week. Ginny however, is a Quidditch writer for the Daily Prophet, which means her schedule is very free. She only has to attend Quidditch games for certain teams, then she writes an article on the game. Lately, none of the teams that she has to cover have been playing, but her, Harry and James typically go to the games anyway just for fun.
Ginny lay awake in bed for the next hour contemplating when to tell Harry about the baby. Originally, she was going to tell him before he left that morning, but obviously the baby was making her tired. She never sleeps that late on her own accord. Then, she had an idea. She would tell Harry tonight after they got back from dinner at the Burrow. After she had decided on that, she heard James scream from his nursery. "I'm coming, Jamie!" Ginny called. Ginny got up and put her bathrobe on, before going into James' nursery. She picked James up and he started kicking her stomach playfully. "Oi, Jamie! You'll hurt the baby!" Ginny said. Then, she mentally slapped herself. Why in the world would I tell James, my 2 year old son, before I tell Harry, my husband and the father of this baby?
"There's a baby in there?" James asked, confused.
"Yeah, you started out in my stomach too." James looked at Ginny skeptically. Ginny laughed and kissed James on the forehead.
Ginny spent the whole day playing with James and looking at her upcoming work schedule. When Harry got home, Ginny changed James' diaper, put a few toys in his diaper bag and the 3 of them flooed to the Burrow for dinner. "Hey sis!" George said.
"Hey, George!" Ginny said. She hugged George, as Harry hugged Ron and James ran over to Hermione, who was now 6 months pregnant.
"Auntie Mione!" James shouted. Hermione smiled and picked James up.
"Hey Jamie!" Hermione said.
"You know, mate, your son has got good taste in women!" Ron said.
"Ronald!" Hermione and Ginny scolded. Ron held his hands up in defense and Harry laughed.
James was practically glued to Hermione and George the entire night. Then, after dinner, James decided to be a bit more social. "Daddy," James said. Harry and Ginny turned to look at James. "When do I get a sibling?" Harry looked very confused by this question. Ginny looked nervously at James. She looked at her watch.
"Jamie, I think it's time to change your diaper again." Ginny said. She stood quickly and grabbed James. She took him up to the room that her mom had changed from a bedroom to a baby room. Ginny locked the door a cast a silencing charm before turning to James. "Jamie, daddy doesn't know about the baby yet. You can't say anything." Ginny said. James nodded, although he had no clue what his mom was asking him to do. Ginny lifted the charm before going back downstairs with James.
James ran straight to Hermione and began talking with her. Ginny was in the kitchen, though, when he started whispering loudly in Hermione's ear. "Guess what, Auntie Mione?" James said.
"What, Jamie?" Hermione said.
"My mom has a baby in her belly." He said. Ginny heard baby and ran out into the living room from her place in the kitchen. Ginny looked wide-eyed at James.
"James. . ." She began.
"You said don't tell Daddy." He said. "I told Auntie Mione."
"Don't tell daddy what, Ginny?" Harry said. Ginny didn't speak so Harry, who was now slightly annoyed, turned to James. "Jamie, don't tell daddy what?" James looked at Ginny then to Harry. Then, he zipped his lips. "Hermione, George," Harry asked. They shook their heads. "Anyone?" Harry said, now growing irritated. Everyone looked at Ginny.
"Maybe we should. . ." Ginny pointed to the empty kitchen and Harry nodded.
"Don't tell daddy what, Ginny?" Harry asked.
"Don't tell daddy about the baby." Ginny mumbled.
"Pardon?" Harry said.
"Don't tell daddy about the baby, Harry." Ginny said, this time loud enough for Harry to hear.
"The baby?" Harry said. "You're pregnant?" Harry asked. Ginny nodded. "And you tell James before you tell me?" Harry asked, trying not to sound hurt.
"Well, Harry, it wasn't like I planned on telling James. It just slipped out!" Ginny said, defensively.
"Why couldn't it 'just slip out' to me, Ginny?"
"Well, Harry, I was going to tell you tonight. Right about this time, too. But, now you're getting all mad at me and I'm wondering if you just don't want another baby. Is that the message you are trying to send Harry?" Ginny said, rather loudly. She heard George and Ron reacting to the conversation. "SILENCIO!" Ginny shouted.
"Ginny, how could you think I don't want the baby? Bloody hell Ginny! You must not know me at all." Harry replied.
"Well, then why are you getting mad at me?" Ginny asked, tears welling up in her eyes. Harry frowned and went to hug Ginny.
"I'm mad because you didn't tell me." Harry said. "Harry, I only found out yesterday. I needed to get used to it before I went flaunting it around. Being pregnant is a bigger deal than you boys seem to think." Ginny said.
"I'm sorry, Ginny." Harry said. "I'm sorry too, Harry." Then, Ginny kissed Harry.
"Maybe we should go make an announcement." Harry said. Ginny nodded.
