Skylar-Glad I brightened up your day, but I may not choose the songs you suggested and finally CHILL I'll update between 1 and 2 weeks, I have too much coursework atm.

Everyone else- Skylar came up with the idea for a talent show, PLEASE CAN I HAVE MORE REVIEWS!

Lily sat in the common room amongst 100 other excited Gryffindors. Tomorrow was the day of the talent show, and not only had two acts been filled, but there was a gap for one person from each year to perform an act, and each Gryffindor was fighting for their place. Scorp and James had been trying to persuade Lily to go for it.

"Lily I heard you in the girls' toilets the other day- you were great!"

James looked at Scorp peculiarly

"What were you doing in the girls' toilets?" he asked

"I was passing by, you d-,"

"I'm not doing it." Lily said quietly

James sighed, and Scorp walked away, seeing this as a moment Lily and James needed together, seeing it as a family moment.

"Lil, I know this stuff with dad shook you up, but everyone else is over it."

Lily scoffed furiously "Firstly it's not everyone else's Dad in danger! Secondly how can you be so calm? Dad might die!"

James paused and held Lily's hand.

"Lil," James tried to look Lily in the eyes but she wouldn't do it, she kept turning away.

"Lil, look at me."

Finally Lily did as she was told. To James' horror, tears were filling his sister's beautiful brown eyes.

"Dad will be OK. He came through this last time, and he'll do it again, as will we all."

Harry's overtime was causing the bags under his eyes to get darker, and his face become paler and more drawn. His hair looked untidier than it did normally, and he was losing weight. He didn't have time to eat at the ministry; he was too busy researching the various "appearances" of a link to Lord Voldemort. Of course, not half of these were true, but Harry had to investigate each and every one just in case.

Ginny meanwhile was stressing more than normal. Her baby had just started to kick, and she knew she had to tell Harry, before things got too obvious. It was weird, Ginny's bump had been incredibly obvious when James and Albus were inside her, but Ginny had hardly noticed she was pregnant when Lily came on the scene. Throughout her fear, Ginny was quite excited at the prospect of another little girl. But first she had to tell Harry.

As Harry through his coat into the cupboard under the stairs (not bothering to hang it up), Ginny had a meal on the table; spaghetti bolognaise, his favourite.

Harry smiled when he saw the preparation his wife had gone to to make the evening special. Ginny knew how to deal with a crisis; food.

"This looks wonderful, Gin," Harry beamed tiredly at his wife, hitching his glasses up his nose

Ginny smiled, and suddenly all Harry's worries seem to float away. It was the smile Harry had fallen in love with, the one that could light up a room, the one that (even weak) had kept him strong at Fred's funeral.

Ginny pulled out her chair and sat down.

"Harry…there's something I want to tell you…" Ginny began.

Harry munched his spaghetti and looked up

"Mmm?"

"I'm…"

Harry held up his hand to pause Ginny's words

"First," he said, finishing his mouthful "First I want to reassure you, that you're safe, OK? Whatever happens, I will always love you, and I'll do my utmost to keep you and the family safe. Believe me. I love you Ginny." Harry smiled again "So what was it you wanted to say?"

"Oh Harry!" Ginny breathed, delighted at her husbands words

"This makes what I have to say so much easier! I was worried what you'd say but…I'm pregnant!" Ginny, put her hands on her, not flat but slightly rounded tummy, and smiled at him.

Harry's face fell. Ginny must have noticed because so did hers.

"P…Pregnant? How far gone?" Harry stuttered

"…five months." Ginny muttered

"FIVE MONTHS?!" Harry yelled in surprise "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?"

Ginny put her hand over her face, tears welling up in her eyes

"I'm sorry, you were just so stressed-," Ginny sobbed at the horror on Harry's face. Her world had seemed slightly brighter, but now…

Harry looked up. He hadn't wanted to make Ginny cry!

"No…no, no, no Ginny! I'm sorry, I was just a bit shocked that was all!"

Ginny sniffled

"So you're not angry with me?"

"Angry? Why would I be angry?" Harry pinned a smile on his face, though inside he felt like his guts were being ripped to pieces.

Another baby? Great. Just what the family needed. He already feared for Ginny, James, Al and Lily, and now he had a baby to worry about?

"Oh Harry, I'm so glad! I was so worried." The tears were spilling out of Ginny's eyes, but seemingly out of joy, not fear or hurt.

"We need to start thinking about baby names, and furniture and books and godparents!" Ginny was burbling with excitement, but Harry couldn't care less. They were doomed…
