Chapter 2 New Roommate
Harry still on one knee looked back down to the baby, " Hermione I hate to be the one to bring up the obvious, but Ron is gone for THREE months with no way to tell him about this. What are we going to do?"
" Well. for starters we bring her inside it is getting ready to rain, and then I have to go to the store to buy supplies so you'll have to stay with her while I'm gone."
Harry stood up and began to speak, " Why do you get to be the one who goes to the store?"
" Well do you know what to buy?" Hermione asked.
" Do you?" Harry answered with more aggravation in his voice.
This is not how he wanted his day to end and he was upset by the change in events. Hermione realized that he didn't mean to snap at her. He was tired and upset so she tried to ease his worries.
" Yes, I took care of my cousin during the summer of our 6th year. Try to relax it will be ok."
She placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder and smiled warmly at him.
Lowering his head to look at the baby again he said, " Trust me Mione there is no one on this planet that I would want to be stuck in this situation with more than you. You have to understand all I know about babys is they eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom. allot. I don't know anything about taking care of a baby. I kill plants, and can't even handle a relationship. What if she starts to cry while you are gone? What do I do then?"
He ran his hands through his hair making it stick up all over. Hermione smiled at this. He was really worried about doing something stupid while she was gone. Hermione smiled at this thought.
The next words she spoke were soft, " Harry, for starters all newborns do is eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom so you already know more than most men. Looking at her size she can't be that old. Secondly you may not be that good with plants, but you take care of the things and people that matter most like Hedwig. Thirdly you and I both know the only reason you didn't date much in school was because of Voldemort, and your too busy with your training to meet someone now so that excuse will not work either. Finally if she wakes up and starts to cry while I'm gone she probably just wants to be held. You are a very gentle and caring man you will not hurt her. All you have to do is make sure to support her head while you lift her up. Now I'm going to the store and I'll try to get back as soon as I can."
She then bent down, picked up the car seat, and handed it to Harry. A slow evil grin started to spread across her face and she giggled a little.
" Just remember" she started to say, " they smell fear."
"Not funny Hermione. not funny at all."
She looked over her shoulder as she started walk down the street, and laughed out loud. Harry had a small smile on his face. She always knew how to ease his mind. He closed the door to the house, told himself Hermione was right, and that he could do this. Harry was still going to kill Ron when he got back.
" So, Anastasia Dakota well that's a nice name I'm Harry, and the pretty lady who was here a little while ago that was Hermione."
A few seconds passed and he found himself looking out the window. It was now raining, and he was wondering how long it was going to take Mione at the store.
He looked back down at Anastasia and said, " Who is your mother? Where is she, and what kind of trouble is she in that she had to leave you with us?"
