Just the Two of Us



Harry somehow in the past two years, had gotten, first hold of his Uncle Vernon's code for his ATM card, and second, an extra Bank Card. He stopped at the ATM invisibly and had punched in the code, taking out $300.00 for Alexandria. He stopped at a cheap Muggle Market and going through the aisles, grabbed everything he could think of that he'd need. Diapers, a Backpack to carry her in, a diaper bag, nappies, bottles, powdered milk since she shouldn't be eating solids yet, and he got some baby food as well. The list went on until he filled his cart up.

He carried Alexandria to the front. The man at the register raised his brow. Harry grinned, ready to lie.

"Hey sir, why 're yea getting al' this?" the guy asked.

"Because her mother just dumped her on my lap. Mother was going on about not wanting her." Harry sighed, giving his face 'way to stress and strain to make it seem believable. The man looked shocked and looked at Alexandria.

"No' wan' 'er? She's eh beaut'. Gonna be a Heartbreaker. Well, eh suggestion. Try mixin' eh little bit eh milk in the powder." The man said grinning.

Harry grinned back. After the man rang up the carrier Harry set Alexandria in it where she promptly fell asleep. After paying the man Harry walked out into the night, covering Alexandria and him carefully. All the bags were shrunk by Harry's wand (he didn't worry about the Ministry, knowing that they were probably at Privet drive) and put in his pockets. Harry made his way to the middle of London heading for the Leaky Cauldron by instinct.

After looking at his watch that said it was 4:45 AM, Harry finally made it to the Leaky Cauldron. After banging on the doors for thirty minutes he roused Tom, the Bartender who after finding out who it was undid the curse. He was welcomed in warmly. Tom immediately noticed Alexandria, but didn't question that but asked what kind of drink he wanted.

"I could pour you something strong since you're only a few days to seventeen, legal age for wizards and witches." Tom said grabbing something Harry identified as Nipo's Tipple Zealousbeer and poured it in an iced mug. Sliding it towards Harry, he took it gratefully. Harry took a nip of the stuff, savouring the burning sensation it had as it made its way down his throat. Suddenly feeling a little more alive, Harry took more of a gulp of the beer. Tom waited quietly as Harry calmed his tattered nerves.

"So… when did you become a dad?" Tom asked jokingly. Harry snorted slightly.

"I'm not a father. The reason 'm here is because last night Death Eaters stormed my relatives house. I go there during the summer. They killed everyone, but since Uncle Vernon woke me, and I share a room with Alexandria, that's her name, I was up and ready. I blasted a few Death Eaters and jumped out the window with her.

"Got money to buy all the stuff a baby needs at a cheap Muggle store, and shrank it. No one Owled me about it. I guess that they're too busy with the fire the Death Eaters started and Memory Charms to send me an owl. I walked here." Harry said calmly. Tom nodded, not getting freaked out but suggesting that Harry use the fireplace to leave a message at the Ministry building.

Harry nodded, but had to ask how to do it. Tom smiled and showed him. After telling them the report Harry asked for some breakfast. Tom happily answered with three plates full of all different kinds of food. Stuffing them all down, barely reminding himself to use manners, Harry ate his breakfast, and proceeded to get drink till Tom said he should get some sleep.

Tom helped to the same room he had last time he was here. Harry set Alexandria in a bassinet that had just appeared and fell onto the bed, going straight to bed and falling asleep immediately. Alexandria waked Harry many times from her nightmares. He calmed her down by feeding her and humming to her. Finally, the last time she woke up ad fell back to sleep he went into the bathroom.

He needed to shave. He had his five o' clock shadow making his face irritated. Starting the sink facet, Harry searched for a Muggle razor, expecting not to find one. Surprisingly, he did. After shaving, Harry just stared at himself through the mirror.

He had grown much taller in the past two years since Fourth Year where Voldemort was resurrected to his body. His emerald green eyes bore strain, stress, and exhaustion. He had had to grow up quickly and had. Now he looked in his face and saw a man older than his sixteen, almost seventeen years. He looked more and more like his father every day people said.

Harry had filled out around Sixth Year, embarrassingly as it had been. His voice had changed to a deep, low baritone; he had started to pay more attention to the opposite sex as well. He had dated some of the girls, and had even gone to bed with a serious one or two, but he had slowly started to get tired of it.

His hair was cut short and he had gotten thin frame glasses. Those were the only changes on the outside. On the inside, turmoil was everywhere. Harry said, and went back into the bedroom, rubbing his freshly shaved jaw. He went to bed and fell asleep with those thoughts . . .

I was going on Baby sites for a name and searched up meanings… ^^ That's why she's called Alexandria. Thanks for the tip-o . . .
