Notes: With this hospital thing, if the mother and child are okay they can come home after a few hours; well they can in my fan fic.
Oh and this isn't Beta read yet, so anyone that wouldn't mind doing so just message me and what not.
It was the day of Harry Potter's birth. Cedric was ecstatic, James was nervous as this was his first child. Sirius Black was restless whilst his lover Remus was reading the Daily Prophet. Peter was at an unknown location on the very day.
It was about ten o'clock in the evening when Harry Potter was born and named right there on the spot. It was one of the best days fro the Potter's other than getting married of course. Voldemort was dead, most of his death eaters were locked up in azakaban awaiting the dementors kiss.
A few hours after Harry was born, Cedric was still lying on top of his bed in his pj's awaiting the news about the Potters new heir.
It was not long until Cedric sat bolt upright almost killing his pure white kitten, when he heard his mother squeal with happiness. Cedric knew that it must mean the news so he ran down the main stairs to the kitchen at lightening speed to here the news as soon as possible.
"Oh Cedric darling" Emily Diggoy cooed, "He's lovely oh." She pointed to the main living room "He's in there is you would like to see him" Emily went to a counter and made two cups of coffee a tea for Lily. Cedric obeyed. He was scared as he knew that this baby was only born a few hours ago, he had asked his mum once how old he was when he came home and she told him that it was only a few hours. He asked her why it was not longer his mother had told him that it depends on how fit the mother and child are.
Cedric lingered in the door way for quiet some time staring at Lily; she looked in good heath just a bit tired. Cedric guessed that most women would be after they had given birth, Cedric knew a lot for a two year old but what else was he to do with his time not knowing any other children but read? His farther also expected certain things from him, as Cedric always did he obeyed his father's wishes.
Lily broke Cedric from his thoughts after James pointed out that Cedric was staring at her. "Come in Cedric" she smiled "It's ok"
When Cedric first saw the young child, he was frightened the baby was so small and fragile. Cedric wondered if he was ever the same.
After standing in front of Lily and looking at the baby very puzzled for a few moments, Cedric turned to James and asked politely, "What's his name?" Cedric then turned back to the sleeping baby he guessed it was a boy because of the little blue outfit.
Cedric tired to think of the possible names for the baby his face screwed up when he got to Frank Potter for some reason it just didn't sound right.
"Harry" James said with a cheerful tone in his voice as Emily walked in with the coffees and tea.
"Sorry it took so long, I like to try the muggle way sometimes thanks to Lily here." Emily smiled at Lily and then at the baby.
"Not at all, it is always good to try something new and different don't you think?" Lily spoke quietly to avoid waking Harry.
Whilst Lily and Emily were talking about muggles and the way they did things Cedric was muttering Harry's name over and over again processing it until it was written on his brain like the numbers one to ten.
James looked at Cedric and then back to Emily. "Well we must be off it's getting late and we still have Moony and Padfoot over."
"Remus and Sirius" Lily stressed the fact that they had real names every time James said Moony or Padfoot or Wormtail for that matter.
"Of course, where is that other friend of yours though ... what was his name? Peter?" Emily really wanted the Potters to stay until it was light so they didn't have to walk in the dark also so she didn't have to wait alone until Amos came back from work.
"Ahh, Wormtail, Not sure where he is these days, went missing the day after the dark lord was killed." James thought out loud but answered the question.
"Well I'm sure we will hear from him soon James. Maybe he has settled down like we have." Lily tried to end the convocation so she could leave, she was truly tired.
Lily and James got out of the door until Emily shouted at them to send her an Owl in the morning, to tell her that everything was alright and what was going on etc.
Emily walked back inside. "Come on Ceddy darling its way past your bedtime."
Cedric was sat at the kitchen table in deep thought. "Will I ever have friends like normal people?"
"Oh Cedric of course, now how about you get some rest and we can go out together tomorrow? When daddy is at work, how about that?" Emily just wanted Cedric to get a goods night rest.
Cedric nodded and made his way to the main stairs but was making every step show that he didn't want to go.
"Oh come on Ceddy darling" Emily said as she picked Cedric up.
Emily took Cedric up to his bedroom where is kitten was sleeping at the foot of the bed curled up like a doughnut. It wasn't long before Cedric fell fast asleep.
Emily shut Cedric's door and made her way back downstairs to clear up the downstairs part of the house.
When Emily finally got to bed it was two thirty in the morning and Amos still wasn't back but she felt as if everything was right with the world.
Unfortunately she was wrong very wrong. As one evil falls another rises.
It may have been Voldemort was dead, but that does not stop there being another evil source of magic.
The strange thing was that the ministry did not know of this new power which is strange seeing as they should know everything that is happening in wizarding England.
