Chapter 7

Life Moves On

            I felt drained all week after Halloween. Ron and Lavender went to Dumbledore so they can marry, they needed someone with power. When their parents came, they weren't happy about them marrying, but they got over it. I guess seeing how happy their kids were had a small effect on them. Harry and I were witnesses. Afterwards their parents had a talk with them then they left.

          November

I helped Lavender everyday with her pregnancy spells. It wasn't hard, but she always needed a little help.  She wasn't really showing, but if someone was to bump into her they could feel that her belly was slightly round. When she was in the dorm she would rub her belly and smile. I helped her order all about baby's books via owl post, the best one was Magical Baby What Are You Up To? Every night before Lavender goes to sleep she prays.

It was the weekend that we can go to Hogsmead. I love doing Holiday shopping there, but there was time for that. Harry, Ron, Lavender and I came together. Ron has been extremely helpful with Lavender, both supporting her physically and emotionally. When she was going through tough days of the first month was really helpful. He would carry her to her dorm, or make sure there was a bucket for her when she threw up, and told her she was beautiful whenever she looked in the mirror and saw that she had dark marks under her eyes. And when Lavender cried he was there to comfort her, thinking it was part of her pregnancy, but it was because she thought it might not be his.

We walked into Honeydukes; Lavender went to go attack the chocolates frogs, Ron right behind her. The place was crowed, people with all sorts of stuff hanging off of their wrists in bags. I heard a crash in the corner where the jar candies were, I shook my head laughing. Harry held my hand so we wouldn't loose each other in the crowd.  I went to try some brownie samples, Harry was next to me, as soon as I put the brownie into my mouth, and drool became to pour from out of it. I waved my hands in front of my mouth, I couldn't stop the drool. I took out my wand and tried to stop it, it didn't work because I could not pronounce the words accurately. Harry had the same problem.

"Finite Incantantum." Someone said. I turned around to say thank you, but when I saw who helped me I stopped. My eyes narrowed and all I could feel was hatred for this person. Malfoy.

"You're Welcome," Malfoy said kindly to me. I didn't reply.

"Aren't you going to thank me?"

"No." I looked to see what Harry was doing. He was reading the fine print on the box of brownies, I guess trying to figure out how to stop the drool. I took my wand out and undid the damage. I took his hand in mine. As I walked past Malfoy to get out the shop I said-

"Sod off you bastard."

Lavender and Ron met Harry and I at the Three Broomsticks. They had bags full of chocolates. We ordered three butter beers, Lavender couldn't drink it because she said that somewhere in one of the baby books it said that butter beer was not healthy. So she just drank tea.

"You'll never guess what I found ay Honeydukes!" Ron said.

"What?"

"Droolly Brownies! They're great; I'll send some to Fred and George for Christmas." He said this looking at the boxes of chocolates. Lavender had a large coco lollipop in her mouth.

"I love this candy." She said out of the corner of her mouth.

"We can see that." Harry said laughing. She kicked him under the table, giggling.

I looked at Harry across from me. His eyes were so brilliantly green, his hair untidy, sticking up everywhere. His lean, yet muscular figure was pleasant. And his glasses black and round. His scar showed more vividly than ever for some reason. Life seemed to be moving on, even when it looks like everything has stopped. I've seen Harry and Ron grow over the years, vise versa, and nothing could make me happier than to grow old with them. I would love to have a family with Harry. I would love for us, Ron, Lavender, Harry and I to be friends forever. Life moves on, and when it does, I'm gonna be there.
