It was a beautiful morning on August 1, 2000, two years after the fall of the Dark lord, also known as Lord Voldemort. This was also the day that life would be brought into this world. Harry and Luna Potter were to have their first child. Harry was on his way to the hospital after Luna's water had broke.
"Hold on babe." Said Harry as they made it to the hospital, "We're almost there, we just need to get registered." "Hurry up Harry! I'm hurting over here!" Luna said. "Ok. I'm trying love, Please hold on for me!" Harry said. "Ok, but please hurry!"
They finally got to a delivery room, and the doctors helped the mother-to-be on the bed. The doctors and nurses wanted Harry to leave, but Luna made it clear that he was staying with her.
Minutes passed, and hours Passed, and finally with help from Harry, they had a baby boy.
They settled on the name Derek. Both parents were happy. "Welcome to our family Derek Potter." said Luna eyes moist. Harry's heart melted. Baby Derek had his hair, but Luna's eyes. The little guy weighed 7.9 oz. and was born at 3:00 PM on August 1, 2000.
Days later, after Luna was released from the hospital, Harry was putting the little-man down for goodnight's sleep. He figured he'd sing him to sleep. So, he went to the guest room, and grabbed a guitar he had gotten from Hermione a couple of years ago. Returning to the nursery, He picked a song he had heard on the radio. The DJ had said that the song was called With Arms Wide Open and that the artist's name was a band by the name of Creed. He began to strum the guitar, and began to sing.
Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I close my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything ...oh yeah
With arms wide open.. wide open
If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything.. oh yeah
With arms wide open...wide open
He ended the song, he couldn't help but notice that his wife was standing by the door listening, her eyes were wide, and he could tell that she was touched by the song. "Where did you hear that song my love?" she asked. "I heard it on the radio awhile back. It's by a rock group called Creed. I looked up the song, and I found out that the lead singer had written the song for the baby boy that he and his wife had. I looked for more info on the song, and I found the song on their album called Human Clay." Harry explained. "Is this album out?" Luna Asked. "Yes it is. If you'd like we could go to the store, and grab this album. I'd like to hear more from this artist." Said Harry. "We'll take the little guy with us." His wife said. "Ok. Sounds good." Harry said. They both looked over and found that their little-man was asleep.
The next day they went to the nearest Muggle music store and got the Creed album "Human Clay". On their way home, they popped the CD in the car stereo, and looked at the tracks. They found that "With Arms Wide Open" Was track 8, and another track called "higher" was track 9. They listened to both songs. Both of them loved the message in the song called "Higher" It went like this.
When dreaming I'm guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
So lets go there, lets go there,
Come on, lets go there
Lets ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
"Good song." Harry's wife said, smiling at him. "I agree." Said Harry. They pulled into their street, Got little Derek out of their car, and walked into their house.
Harry looked at little Derek Potter and said "I love you son." "I love you Harry." said Luna, smiling. "I love you too Luna." Then they kissed, and went about there day, With their baby boy.
All is Well.
The End
