McGonagall set a time to meet her at a local cafe to go to the bank and get the matter set up.
The next morning, she woke to hear Harry crying. "I guess its better then three am feedings, and I didn't get any stretch marks." she got up, and fixed a bottle of baby cereal.
Harry drink the bottle quickly and then snuggled down into her arms and gave a sleepy yawn "Ro, Ro."
"Yesterday he called me momma and now he's calling me Ro, Ro." Rose shook her head, as she set Harry down with a few things saved from his old home and nursery.
Harry reached over to a stuffed stag and doe. "Papa, momma" then he looks at the other two toys and yells "Moon, Pa'foot."
"Shush little one, must be quiet while inside." Rose states as she put her fingers to his lips. Harry turns to Rose "Ro Ro , Moon, Pa'foot."
The baby just looks at her the looks of not knowing in his face, he reaches for the to other toys and tries to grab them but flops over instead.
Rose smiled and placed the other two toys within reach.
Harry gave a happy giggle and tried to hug all four toys to him with little success.
Soon it was time to go meet McGonagall at the cafe and make Harry her son.
Rose was dressed in a jeans and a blouse, as she carried Harry on her hip, taking him into a world, where she would have to have a guard to keep all the psychos away from them.
Harry just looks around in wonder pointing or trying to grab different things that caught his eyes. The met the professor sitting at a table with a teacup in her hands looking like just an old lady enjoying her morning tea.
"No, No. that is not yours, you do not touch." Rose states, gently pulling the little arms down.
"I can see he's a very curious little lad much like his mother was." The witch said with a sad smile. She stood and place a bill on the table for her waiter then went over to the two "Ready then lets be off."
"All toddlers and babies are curious, my sister was the reason, I began my journey in Genetic Research." Rose replies
"Well i do hope he takes after you and Lily and after his father I don't think the school could stand another round of pranksters of their caliber again." McGonagall replies
The day was filled with Goblins' and a crash course on wizarding society in Great Britain. Rose demanded that her sister's and brother-in-law's wills be read and the fortune, be divided if that was the wishes of her late relatives.
"I'm a genetic researcher's paradise and I can't even get samples." Rose muttered
Once that was all done the professor asked if she could get a small gift for the child and if she needs anything else.
Rose shook her head, she would convert the sum of wizarding money life to her for some reason into American currency once she was back home. They left the pub and McGonagall gave her a slip of paper with her address should she need to write to her about anything.
With in the next twenty four hours, Rose and Harry were in the sky heading for America, New York.
Harry fussed for most of the time as the planes noise scared him he held the stag and doe closer to him.
Once in New York the two found a cab and went to Manhattan. She arrived at her apartment, and went up to the second floor and entered into her two bedroom apartment, she needed to clean out the second bedroom, and put her research papers into her room. She was just glad, she was paid enough as a researcher at Cyberbiotics to afford this place.
Harry was asleep in her arms hold his toys.
She put him down on the couch, to sleep. She went to clean out her second bedroom, she needed to divide her time between work and her new son. She went to the phone, and called her boss.
Her boss answered in his normal gruff voice "Evans what ya calling for?"
"Back from holiday, and got a slightly problem. Does Cyberbiotics have a day care center?" Rose questions
"Yeah but why are you asking for you don't have a kid unless you're hiding something now."
"I have one now, I adopted my sister's son, since while I was visiting my eldest sister, we found out that our other sister died from a home invasion."
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that do you need any extra time to get the kid settled?"
"Pass the word around that I'm going to need stuff for a year old. Because I can't afford rent and new nursery items as well." Rose requests
"Sure I'm positive that the girls have stuff for the kid."
"Thanks, boss. Yeah, going to need a few days, wouldn't want tears in the research after all." Rose replies. Her voice broke at the right time, that her boss quickly let her go.
Harry choose that time to wake and cry for a bottle.
Rose got a thing of baby food out of the carry on, and sat him down to feed him
Harry fussed once more not caring for the choice of food.
"Eat it or you can starve, which is what you would have done in the care of Petunia." Rose states, as she fed her new son.
The baby fussed some more then took the food with a sour look on his face.
Over the next few days, most if not all of Rose's female coworkers came by with gifts of food, clothes, crib, and Rose gave them the same sob story of her sister and brother-in-law's murder via home invasion.
The girls gave her symphony and offering to sit for her if she needs a night to herself as well.
Rose joked that the only nights off she would have if she stayed late at the office researching a new link to save a nearly extinct species.
They laughed with her then quickly got back to work.
Rose went to work setting up the new nursery. Some how this was harder than she thought it would be. As some of the pieces don't seem to fit.
"Combining DNA strands is easy. But I can't put together a simple crib?" Rose questions as she tried to make sense of the directions.
Harry watched her and laughed at her look of frustration at the new crib.
Just then there was a knock on her door "Rosie you there?"
"Its Open, which would be stupid move for someone of my IQ." Rose replied
The door opened an she heard the click clack of high heels "Rosie i brought you some take-out and i came to help you with the baby stuff."
"Least you could have done is changed out of the annoyance factor." Rose replies
"I happen to like my shoes but fine I'll take them off."
"Yeah cause they're giving me a headache." Rose replies
The woman came into the room in stockings and jeans and a t-shirt with a punk band on the front.
"Considering the fact, you're dressed as an punk. Why the heels? Going to a cocktail party later?" Rose questions
She held out the bag with the food and asked "So eat first or work on the baby's bed."
"Bed." Rose answers, "Before I end up throwing this crap into the Hudson."
"Nah i just like wearing them there comfy for me." the woman answers
Rose blinked "Give me a pair of tennis shoes any day."
"Okay I've got this you can't have as many nieces and nephews and not learn how to do this." She sat down and got straight to work.
"Now I know why most people throw this crap out as a whole." Rose responds
"Ah Rose, you stress to much this is as easy as they come." In less than 20 minutes the bed was made.
Rose's jaw dropped. "Seriously, and you're in research and development?"
"This thing heck you would have finished it eventually, now my brother's kids beds now that was a mess let me tell you."
"Yeah when Harry is old enough for a real bed." Rose replies, as she started cleaning up the mess.
"Heck then you'll have to worry about if he wants cars or dino's for his bed." The woman laughs "now lets eat before the curry gets to cold. So how's life with the kid anyway?"
"You got curry? Are you insane, Erica?" Rose questions
The curry is for me, i got you the regular even though I how you can eat that stuff, I'll never know."
"Cause I would have to kill you after I spent the next few days in the hospital for your stupidity." Rose replies
"Hey I'm not like that jerk from your department what was his name Mitchell i think he was the one that messed up the order last time."
"Whatever, I had a five twelve dozen roses after that mess up." Rose replies, as she stood up, then bent over to pick Harry up. "And to answer your question, I wouldn't know since its only been like a week. I wasn't planning on adopting him, but since I got that student visa years ago, and applied for citizenship here, I wasn't a good sister to Lily." Rose answers, "So I thought I would try my best to make up for it with her son."
"That's so sweet, I'm sure you'll be a great mom to Harry, i can already tell he loves ya." Erica smile at him and makes a funny face, Harry just hugs Rose tighter and hid his face.
"Superficial resemblance to Lily, she and I got the brains and the beauty in the family while Petunia...well uh...didn't. She's as plain as a post and just as jealous." Rose answers "And don't ask me why my mum named us after flowers."
"Eh, who knows why our parents do anything when we were growing up."
Time passed as Harry grew, Rose tried traditional schooling but with bouts of accidental magic, she foregone that path and thought of it better to home school her son.
