First full official check-up and shots
After lunch that day Hermione and Harry went into the library to read up on baby care and to look for the proper documents to adopt Lily
"Here this book will tell us more of how to take care of her" Hermione says setting the book on the table in the library
"It looks like there is a lot of information in there" Harry says looking at the size of the book
"There is so I am going to take notes on the different cries and their meaning's" Hermione says as she begins to read the huge book
"Is there a book for me to read?" he asks getting up to head back to the chamber with Lily who began to stir in the carriage
"Yeah I got a book about her first year of life so read up on it I'll quiz you later" she says sternly as she goes back to reading the chapter she started reading
"Come on sweet girl let's head back so you can get a new nappy" he says as he checks out the book and heads back to where he and Hermione live
As soon as Harry got back Lily started crying
"I get the message darling I'll change you really quick then I got to get back to doing my homework" he says going into Lily's room to change her
Once Lily was changed she was happy once again
"Since you won't be eating for a few minutes how about I sit you on your bumper pillow and you can watch me do my spells" he says propping her up so he can practice for Lockhart class
Harry gets to practice for fifteen minutes before Lily decided she wanted fed
"I can take a break from doing homework so I can feed you, and after you eat and go down for your nap I can go back to practicing spells and reading a book" he says while he heats up the bottle
Once the bottle was the right temp he tested it to make sure it wasn't too hot or too cold for her to eat, and while she was taking the bottle he started reading about her first year of life if he and Hermione do end up adopting her
"There we go Lily sweet dreams" he says tucking her in and covering her up and kissing her before she fell asleep
After he tucked her in he multitask by reading the book and doing the rest of his homework
"Hey Harry I'm back" Hermione says coming through the portrait
"Hey" he says kissing her
"Well I managed to take a lot of notes so I can educate us later on tonight about what we can and cannot do with her until they can find her real parents" she says sitting at the table to highlight the notes she took in the library
"Well that's good I'll be back I'm going to schedule her first official check-up with Madame Pomfrey" he says kissing her before leaving to go up to the infirmary
"Yeah you better according to the book she should have shots to protect her from diseases" she says sternly as he leaves
While Harry was gone she decided to message Professor McGonagall to see if they can eat dinner in their room that night just in case if Lily would disturb the other students while they ate
(Thirty minutes later)
"I'm back Hermione" he says coming back into quarters
"Well when can Madame Pomfrey see her?" Hermione asks
"Since I don't play next Saturday she is willing to see her" he says sitting on the couch
"That's good" Hermione says bringing the first year book to the couch
"Yeah I'm thinking of changing her middle name to Petunia in honor of my aunt Petunia who raised me" he says looking at the picture of his parents
"That a great idea Harry using your mom's first name as her first name and Petunia as her middle name" she says comforting Harry who started to cry
"Yeah I hope my aunt Petunia approves of it" he says wiping away his tears
Hermione quizzes Harry before dinner and he gets most of the answers right
"Just in time too I think Lily woke up from her afternoon nap" he says going to the nursery to retrieve Lily
'I'm glad we are eating in our quarters instead of with everyone else" she says setting the table for dinner
"Yeah me too I hate to take her down and she cries while we eat dinner" he says preparing a bottle for Lily
"Yeah me too" she says as she finishes setting the table for the house elves when they bring their supper later on
While Harry feeds Lily supper arrives and Harry and Hermione sit down to eat dinner and Harry attempts to feed himself as he finishes feeding Lily her supper
(Next Saturday)
"I am glad it's Saturday" Hermione says as she enters the kitchen
"Yeah me too after a week we had with Lily" he says preparing breakfast for the two of them
"Who would have predicted she would have gotten sick during Defense against the dark arts class twice this week" she says hitting her head on the table
"No one I think the weather is getting colder that's why she got sick" he says serving breakfast
"I'm glad that Sprout and Pomfrey was able to make a potion for her to take so she is better for her first check-up" she says as she begins to eat breakfast
"I'm just glad she started sleeping through the night this week" he says eating his breakfast
"I second that" she says as she drinks her orange juice
(One o clock that afternoon)
"Come on Lily you are going to get an official check-up to see how much you weight and how long you are" Harry says as he walks out of the portrait with an awake Lily in his arms
"We are going to see if you are developing properly as well angel" Hermione says tickling Lily tummy
"Hey guys where are you off too?" Ron asks catching up to his friends
"We are off to Lily's first official check-up since last week" Harry says smiling
'Mine if I come along?" Ron asks
"Sure you can watch out for Malfoy" Hermione says with a giggle
The friends reach the infirmary and wait for Lily's name to be called
"Okay Harry we are ready for Lily" Madame Pomfrey says to him
"Here go angel" he says with a deep breath
Hermione and Ron wait outside while Harry goes back with Madame Pomfrey
"How's she been Harry?" Madame Pomfrey asks happily
"She's been good she just started sleeping through the night two days ago" he says taking the blanket off her
"Now Harry I have called one of the doctor's from St. Mungo's to come and give her a proper physical" Madame Pomfrey says bringing in the scale so Lily could be weighed
"That's fine and did you find out if she was kidnapped or not?" Harry asks
"Yeah I have Harry it seems Lily's birth parents were killed when they brought her home from the hospital, so whoever kidnapped her brought her here and left her behind a tree so they wouldn't get caught and charged with kidnapping" Madame Pomfrey tells Harry
"Does she have any relatives around?" he asks her
"Sadly she doesn't, so she is basically an orphan" Madame Pomfrey says as she leaves to go get the doctor from St. Mungo's
"Well what's the word on her Harry?" Hermione asks when Madame Pomfrey has left
"Lily parents were killed, so whoever killed her parents kidnapped her and brought her here to hide the evidence, and to top it all off she has no other family" he says cradling Lily who started to cry
"What's going to happen to Lily?" she asks taking a seat
"Madame Pomfrey doesn't know if there is room in any of the orphanages in London, so until further notice I guess she is staying with me" he says calming Lily down
"Now we wait I guess" Hermione says getting out a toy to aid Lily's amusement
"The doctor is on his way here I had to owl him when you had arrived" Madame Pomfrey says putting paper down on the scale so Lily can be weighed
"That's fine we are in no hurry" he says as he rocks Lily in his arms
"Madame Pomfrey do any of the orphanages in London have room for her?" Hermione asks
"No Hermione they don't they are overcrowded with children who have been given up, or whose parents have died suddenly" Madame Pomfrey says getting out the tape measure
"Well Madame Pomfrey it seems that me and Hermione is the only thing she has to a family, so I am going to consider adopting her" Harry says laying Lily down on the baby scale
"Harry are you sure it's going to be a big responsibility?" she asks as she writes down Lily's height and weight
'Yes I am sure plus which muggle is willing to travel here to get her anyway, and do witch and wizards have an orphanage anyway?" he asks again
"No the wizarding world does not have an orphanage, so if the baby parents are killed they then go to their next living relative like you did Harry" Madame Pomfrey says smiling
"That make sense well how much does Lily weigh?" he asks picking her up from the scale
"She is at eight pounds even, and she is eighteen inches long" Madame Pomfrey says going to see if the doctor came yet
"Well at least she is eating" Hermione says smiling
"Yeah she is" Harry says cradling her in his arms
"Hello everyone my name is doctor Paddington" the doctor says entering through the separator
"Nice to meet you Dr. my name is Harry Potter" Harry says shaking the doctor's hand
"Oh yes Harry I have heard so much about you" the doctor says etting down his bag to get out his stethoscope
"I'm Hermione Granger" Hermione says introducing herself to the doctor
"Pleasure" the doctor says as he begins to examine Lily
The doctor checks Lily all over to make sure everything is working how it should be before he gives her shots
"I'm pretty sure she won't like me when I give her a shot" Dr. Paddington says as he gets the shot ready to give to Lily
"Okay Lily the nice doctor is going to give you a shot to protect you from any virus's that might be out there" he says as he holds her
During the shot Lily screamed so loud you could hear her through the corridors of the infirmary
"It's okay Lily I got you" Harry says comforting her after the first shot as been given
The doctor waited for Lily to calm down between shots, and after the last shot was given she was not a happy camper
Madame Pomfrey gave Harry a medicated pacifier for Lily to suck on to help take the pain away
"Thank you Madame Pomfrey" he says accepting the pacifier for Lily
"Okay I would like to see her in two weeks for another round of shots and another check-up, but this time I want to see her at St. Mungo's instead of here" the doctor says as he packs up his bag
"Two weeks got it!" Harry says getting Lily dressed
"Okay then see you in two weeks" Dr. Paddington says as he leaves
"I can't wait for Halloween" Hermione says all excited
"Why that's?" Harry asks
"I get to dress her up in a cute little witch costume" Hermione says happily as they leave to join Ron who was waiting
"Well how did she do?" Ron asks
"She passed with flying colors, but she had to get her first vaccinations" Harry says laying Lily in her carriage
"I could hear her screaming" Ron says walking with his friends
"Hopefully she won't scream as much after the tenth vaccination" Harry says hoping
"You have to hear the screaming for a long while" Ron says joking
