Here is chapter four. I'm writing a bit today before work and let's see if I can finish it before I head to hell known as work for the night. Thanks to all my reviewers, it's nice to know that people are enjoying this story. Thanks also to all the people who have signed up for story alert. It gives me great joy to know that my story is well liked by all. So here's a cookie (Tries to hand out a cookie through the computer screen, but fails horribly). Hey it was worth a try, anyway on to the story.
Disclaimer- still not mine, if it was Harry would not marry Ginny and Ron would be living somewhere else.
Harry and Hermione sat in silence, reading the parenting books that Hermione had gotten from the library. The silence was only broken from a few giggles and cries for attention from Mina. Hermione looked up from her book and over to Harry.
"Hey Harry, I just read this sounds interesting"
Harry looked up from his book. Mina had fallen asleep and found Harry's stomach made a very comfortable pillow.
"It seems that with magical children it's better to breastfeed them. It helps their magical energies grow at a smoother pace, hence stopping magical accidents when they are older by about half"
"What's on your mind Hermione" Harry asked, she had that glint in her eye that meant she wanted to try something.
"Well it just that know that we are her parents, we might as well give her the best chance we can give her. I want to try this"
"Well Hermione, I know that if you already have your mind set to something there is no turning you away from it"
"Fine then, it's settled, we are going to see Madam Pomfrey" Hermione stood up and took Harry's hand and dragged him off to the hospital wing. Mina rested peacefully in his arms even thought Harry thought that Hermione had gone crazy.
The halls of Hogwarts were quiet for once as students were still sleeping on this day. Mrs. Norris, Flicth's annoying cat had left them alone once she had found out about Harry and Hermione's head status. Hermione pulled Harry into the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey was there, restocking her potions for the school year. She turned around to see the both of them standing there.
"Well potter what have you gotten yourself into this time?" she had her hand out ready to grab whatever potion Harry might of needed. Hermione spoke up.
"No Madam Pomfrey, It's not Harry this time"
"Than what can I help you with today?" she asked, wondering what could have brought them to the wing this early in the morning
"Well you see, I have been doing some reading and well" she stuttered. A blush reaching up to her cheeks as she tried to explain her idea to the healer "I want to breastfeed Mina"
She final got it out. The blush on her cheeks becomes redder. It seemed so easy to talk to Harry about it and she had no idea why. But talking to a healer about it made her embarrassed. Madam Pomfrey just looked to Hermione. She never had a student ask such a request but she agreed with Hermione's idea fully. Magical Babied needed the best care and Hermione seemed to be willing and the look in Harry's shown her the her supported her with everything she could have come up with. She spoke up
"Well Hermione that is a good idea but I won't have the potion available until after diner" Hermione nodded understanding what she was saying "But this is good, eat big meals today with high calories, vitamins, and nutrients and see me after diner"
Harry looked over to Hermione with a smile on his face. This was something she wanted and he could tell. Harry took her by the arm and left the hospital wing heading towards the great hall for breakfast. Mina was still fast asleep and snuggling into Harry's arm. The great hall was empty a few students here and there. Hermione took Madam Pomfrey's and ate a lot of healthy food for breakfast. Harry had some pancakes and bacon while Hermione ate a bowl of fruit and toast.
Harry looked up once in a while to take a look at Hermione. The blush still hadn't gone away but it gave a nice rosy color to her cheek. Her skin was a soft with her and brown hair framed her face like an angel. Pretty soon he found himself staring at her but it soon ended when Mina woke up and started to fuss. Harry stood up and took her off back to the head's common room. Hermione was following in tow. Harry prepared her bottle and started to feed her while Hermione put together a diaper bag for the day. They had to find a baby sitter but they didn't have time.
"Harry, Have you ever heard of a Wiccaning?" Hermione asked while she swung the bag over her shoulder and got the carrier ready
"No why?" her said, moving mina slightly up abit "What is it?"
"It's a magical baptism. You know for parents and friends. It introduces the child to world and asks the universe to protect it. Its mostly for the Wiccan religion but seeing that we are magical I thought it would be nice"
Harry nodded slightly "That sounds like a good idea. We should find two people to be her godparents if anything should happen to us"
Hermione pondered for a moment before speaking up "Neville and Luna. It will Help Neville see that everything is alright and Luna is a good person. She will have Mina's best interest in heart"
Hermione rushed to Harry and hugged him "That is a wonderful idea" Hermione let go and they both blushed before Mina wanted to be burped and started to cry. Harry move her to his shoulder and patted her back to burp her. She burped and stopped crying. Hermione took her and placed her in the carrier. Buckling her up safe and sound with her rattle, a stuffed bear and a blanket.
"What class do we have first Hermione?"
"Transfiguration"
"I wonder who our teacher is now"
Hermione shrugged and walk through the portrait hole. Which was of the four founders and Merlin. They head to Transfiguration classroom.
"Good Morning Class. I am your New transfiguration teacher. Professor Glavin."
Anastasia Glavin was a young woman. Only about eighteen year of age. She had wavy brown hair that reached her mid-back. Her silver eyes had purple specks in them. She was dressed in a emerald green robe with a black cloak. She wore a silver headband in her hair that was encrusted with emeralds and diamonds. She spoke with a English accent. However it was not modern. She grabbed a piece of chalk and wrote her name on the board.
"Now today we are going continue with Transfiguration spell with the human body. You will by learning to change hair color" She pointed the wand to her hair and a simple color change spell and her hair became purple. She said the reversal spell and went back to the color of brown "Pair up and work on the spell. Do not worry no mispronunciations of this spell will cause anything bad"
The class went to work. Harry was paired up with Hermione again as they worked on the spell. Class was about hallway over. Professor Glavin stood up and tapped her wand on her desk for the attention of the class "Now I want to you write a 3 foot parchment paper on the history of transfiguration spells on the body and the pros and cons of them. I will let you get started on it now"
The class got to work on their papers while the Professor worked on her lesson plan. Mina woke up and started to cry. Hermione walked over to the desk "Umm professor?"
"Yes Hermione you may leave to the hallway to take care of Minerva" Professor Glavin said without lifting her gaze from the plan book. Harry grabbed the carrier with crying baby Mina in is and headed out behind Hermione.
Hermione soothed Mina while Harry waited with them. Hermione looked over to Harry .
"I wonder if all the teachers will be as understanding as our new Transfiguration Professor is." She said while she placed Mina on a blanket on the floor and changed her diaper.
Harry shrugged "I hope so". The bell rang for the next class. All the teachers were understanding of Harry and Hermione's situation and let them tend to the baby. Snape however was not and took points away from Gryffindor when they had to leave to the class room to feed her.
"Stupid Prick" Harry mumbled under his breath while Hermione fixed a bottle for Mina. Hermione gave the bottle to Harry and stood there watching the two. She may have been upset but she would let that ruin the family they had become. School was important but Mina had become both her and Harry's Main focus and that was something that would never change.
Harry looked over to Hermione before taking her by the arm and taking her back to their chambers until dinner.
Anastasia Glavin sat in her office grading first year papers. Her hand held her forehead up from the desk while she seemed to nod off once in a while. Britany Jones, this years new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and Anastasia's best friend.
Britany was shorter than Anastasia by a few inches. She was only five feet five inches. Anastasia was five feet eight inches. She also had brown hair but her eyes were gold with blue specks in them. She worn glasses that a librarian would wear and also seemed to have a book in her hands. She walked up to the front to the classroom and placed her book on the table. Anastasia looked up to Britany as she spoke
"Have you told them yet?"
Woot chapter four is done. With work I'm glad it up and posted. I hope when school starts I will have more time to write stories but I'm not sure because I will still be working. Still all errors are mine. READ AND REVIEW!!
