Chapter 7: The Aftermath
Harry sat up at the sound of Lily screaming. That girl had a set of lungs on her. He got up and stumbled over to the crib in the corner. "It's ok little one Daddy's here. Shh. That's better now what do you need. Oh that's what you wanted you were just lonely. All right I'll sit with you but we can't do this every night." He told her as he picked her up and rocked her. She quieted down just listening to his heartbeat. She soon began to fall back asleep. Harry was too tired to stand up and fell asleep in the chair he was sitting in.
"Hey, wake up. Harry if you don't get up soon you're going to be running late." Cho said as she gently shook Harry awake. He began to stir as she took Lily out of his arms.
"What time is it?" He asked as he stretched and yawned.
"8:00. If you want time to get ready for your class you better get dressed now."
** Class that day. About 20 minutes before lunch.**
"Sir, What's wrong? You don't look to good. You look like you could fall off your broom if you keep flying." One of the students asked.
"Huh? What? Oh yeah. Lily has been keeping me up at night I think something is giving her nightmares because she wakes up at 2am and all she wants is me to hold her. The rest of the time she needs something but everyday at 2am I have to rock her to sleep. I don't know what is causing it."
"Maybe she has dreams where you get hurt or something. Then she only goes to sleep when she know you are safe. Try sleeping for a couple of days with her on your heart that might keep her asleep. It's what my mom had to do with me. Or maybe she's just a Daddy's girl." She suggested.
"Maybe all the stress Mrs. Potter had while she was pregnant had some sort of effect where it is hard for Lily to sleep without a heartbeat to set hers to. I've heard of it happening. Either way you had better get some rest cause you sure can't help us if you fall asleep on your broom." Another student stated.
As if on cue Harry swayed on his broom as his eyes began to drift shut. The two students he'd been talking to guided him down and to the hospital wing. "Madam Pomfrey?" one of the students called.
She hurried over and asked what was wrong with him. He said he wasn't getting much sleep because Lily keeps waking wanting him to hold her. He said its always at the same time and she falls asleep after a few minutes of him holding her." The student responded helping Harry over to the bed.
"Go to lunch both of you. One of you can get Mrs. Potter and the baby and the other can get the Headmaster." She said as she pushed them towards the door.
After a few minutes Cho came hurrying in Lily in her arms, Dumbledore right behind her. "What's wrong with him?" she asked almost panicking.
"Oh he's just exhausted. He apparently hasn't been getting much sleep so that's all he need's right now. I called you here to let you know he's here and to see if I can find what is wrong with Lily. It appears that she wakes at the same time every night wanting nothing but to be held by her father. Did you know about this Cho?" she told the panicked Cho as she reached for Lily.
"No he didn't tell me about this. I know he gets up for her feedings and sometimes changes her at night but I didn't know about any holding sessions."
"That is because you worry about her enough. She just wants my attention. I'm not around much during the day so I think she uses the middle of the night to get attention from me. I-" Harry stopped at a glare from Madam Pomfrey.
"You have not had enough rest yet. Five minutes will not get you out of here so go back to sleep or I will give you a potion that will knock you out for a couple of days your choice." She glared at him as he turned over facing away from them and went back to sleep.
They moved the discussion to Madam Pomfrey's office. "Poppy, make sure he gets rest I'm going to ask Madam Hooch to take over for a few days so that he can get a proper rest. Try and find a way to solve this problem and of coarse find out what the problem is." Dumbledore told her before he left the office to find a substitute.
**The next day. Dumbledore's office**
"Nothing was found wrong with the tests. Lily is perfectly healthy and we still don't know what the problem is. She cried herself to exhaustion when she woke this morning. She woke right at two and would not stop crying no matter what I did. She wants Harry and will not take no for an answer." Cho told him stifling a yawn.
"We can't keep this up. Harry needs sleep, as do you. Try letting her sleep on Harry's heart. That's about the only solution I can think of until I can get my pensive back. A friend of mine has it right now but I think we can take Lily's dreams out and look at them in the pensive. If its nightmares that would be the only way to know. Why don't you let me take Lily today so you can get some sleep. Go on now." Dumbledore took Lily and gestured Cho to the door. "She will be fine. I think I'll contact my friend so he can bring my pensive back. Have a good rest."
Cho reluctantly left the room to head to her own. Harry had been released from the hospital wing but was told to get some more sleep. Cho walked in to fid him sound asleep still and she crawled into bed next to him. He stirred a little bit and she calmly reassured him that there was no need to wake as they both fell into a deep sleep.
**That night.**
"Come on little one. Time for you to go to sleep. Hopefully you won't wake tonight cause I don't know what else to do." Harry said as he crawled into bed with Cho positioning Lily on his heart. They all slept deeply and Lily was reassured that her father was ok by his steadily beating heart. That didn't stop the dreams from coming just stopped her from having to wake up to check on Daddy.
