Prologue Part II
Author note: Second chapter. A bit unrealistic. I'm not a H/Hr shipper. But life must go on. sigh.
Story:
Two days, 24 hospital visits by Harry Potter, 19 candy bars, and 18 cups of coffee later, Hermione and Onyx Potter were released from the hospital. Harry drove up in a muggle car, a newborn car seat set in the middle row.
Gently Hermione placed Onyx in the car seat facing the back. A small pitiful wail filled the air.
"Shhhhhhhhhh," Hermione cooed softly stroking Onyx's head gently.
After a bit Onyx quieted down apparently asleep.
Hermione hopped into the passenger seat. She was wearing street clothes, a pair of jeans and a wool coat.
"Onyx is fine, but she'll need to eat as soon as we get home." Hermione soothed seeing Harry's nervous glances at the back on Onyx's car seat.
Soon they'd gotten out on the road, and pulled into the drive way of a large house white with creamy rose colored shutters.
There was a large bench-swing on the front porch. The front lawn had become overgrown a tad due to the fact Harry hadn't had the time to cut it.
" Harry!" Hermione playfully scolded. "You didn't cut the grass? I leave for almost 3 days and come back to a messy lawn. Tsk, tsk!"
Harry snorted and parked the car. "If you think that's messy wait until you get inside!" He exclaimed.
Hemione looked at him dead serious. " If that house if messy, Harry James Potter, you will die a slow and painful death!"
Harry mocked a scared face and quietly opened the back door to the car. Carefully Harry reached in the back seat and began to unbuckle Onyx. Onyx on the other hand would have none of it and began to cry. Harry grabbed her anyways and held her to him close because it had just begun to rain.
'Wait,' he thought, 'It's winter how is it raining!'
Deciding to think later and walk then he walked fastly up to the porch and handed Onyx to Hermione. He flipped through his keys and found the house key. He slipped his key in the lock and pulled off the handle as he twisted the key. It was an odd thing that they had to endure with the ancient door. They always swore they'd get a new door some time soon but never did, because they'd grown too fond of it.
Harry then slipped the handle back into the hole and opened the door.
T was dark and he pushed Hermione in first then flicked on the lights.
"Surprise" Came 50 different voices from thirty places.
Hermione had a shocked look on her face as tons of people came up to her smiling. Immediately Onyx became silent again. The first people to come up to her were two pregnant women, Ginny Malfoy and Fleur Weasley. They were both nine months pregnant.
"Congratulations 'Mione" they said in unison.
Without waiting for her to respond Fleur peeked under the blanket to the smiling baby, her eyes opened a tad bit for the first time. Right away Harry noticed that her eyes were instead of their normal baby blue, were black. Yet a different color than her pupils. It was hard to tell weather they were lighter or darker. But besides that Onyx's iris and pupils were separated by a ring or red and another of purple.
Hermione didn't even look. She began to cry as , as females do way to much, Harry decided.
Ginny grasped Hermione in a tight hug from the side so she didn't squish Onyx with her pregnant belly. "God" She exclaimed "You had to go and get skinny and make the rest of us look all fat!" Playfully she mocked an angry expression.
Next up can Ron and Draco. Ron being Fleur's husband and Draco being Ginny's long-tem boyfriend. They both took their look at Onyx each questioning about the black tatooish like teardrops under her eye. Harry answer that he didn't know why. Yet since Onyx had a sleeper on, no one took notice of the crescent moon.
After the next 30 rounds of people (family, friends, and neighbors) the visit ended with Albus Dumbledore.
"Ahhhhh," He exclaimed "Precious. Might I give her this necklace as a gift of welcoming?"
Hermione smiled at Dumbledore and took the box from his hands giving a hearty thanks.
"Ahhh wait until her 1st Birthday to give to her. Then tell her to keep it on always." Dumbledore said mysteriously, managing to add a bit of Trelawny in his voice.
Harry's eye began to twitch at the reminder of his old Divination teacher.
Onyx eyes just opened a bit wider and she began to observe things in the room that had a deep contrast to the wall. Harry knew that babies couldn't see properly for a while.
" 'Mione, come eat some cake! You too Harry." Harry was all too eager to get over there but, suddenly Hermione stood on her tiptoes and planted a soft kiss on his cheek.
"Guess that means I won't die a slow and painful death after all." Harry smiled. Hermione playfully whispered, "You never know".
Yet before anyone could make it to the table, a scream emitted from the front of the crowd. The people parted revealing Ginny hunched over cluching her stomach. Draco immediately rushed to her side as did Ron, Fleur and Harry.
When every one arrived she screamed again. They then noticed a puddle of clear water beneath Ginny. Her water had broke.
A/N: Ahhhhh, cliffie! Ha Ha! If I get one review I shall post the next chapter. Let me clear this up right now. I am a Luna/Harry , Ron/Hermione , Draco/Ginny fan. Yet I thought only the last one out of these pairings woud work for this story. Sorry about the pairings if you do not like them. Stinky chapter sorry. Go read Marauder Kel-Lily's stories specially Paws and Prongs, excellent read. My favorite Fanfic. (I'm in it too!) This story is dedicated to her and her excellent fanfic. R/R thanx, Onyx
