Prompt for 29th December 2020: What if Harry and Hermione adopt Delphini AND Teddy? How will this family fair?
'A baby?' gaped Hermione. 'Bellatrix and Voldemort had a baby?'
Harry nodded. 'She's about Teddy's age,' he said quietly. 'Kreacher's been taking care of her ever since we found her.'
'Does she have a name?' inquired Hermione.
'Delphini,' replied Harry. 'Odd name, isn't it?'
'Well, it's probably reminiscent of the Oracle of Delphi,' mused Hermione. Ignoring Harry's blank look, she added, 'Although I'm not sure why this baby made Ginny break up with you.'
Harry sighed. 'She can't stand the idea of me taking care of the child whose parents caused so much death,' he muttered. 'Dumbledore always said I have this great ability to love. Maybe if I raise her right, she won't turn out like her parents. Ginny understands what I'm trying to do, but she can't find it in her to support me. Neither can Ron, for that matter.'
'I see,' said Hermione sadly.
'I'm just trying to give her a second chance. I mean, she's only a baby, for Merlin's sake,' said Harry ruefully.
Hermione took his hand. 'Don't worry Harry. I'll help you,' she said, squeezing it. She then smiled at him. 'You can even call me Aunt Hermione from now on, if you'd like.'
