Quick little Song Fic!!! :-D
Harry had always been known as the boy who lived, but it wasnt until now in
his seventh year had he really felt as if he was living. Voldemort had been
defeated, for good and for the first time in his life people were stable,
his best friend Ron after finally getting over himself, asked Luna Lovegood
out, and his girlfriend Hermione was probably one of the strongest beams in
his life.
She was everything to him, after Sirius died in 5th year Hermione was there as constant support. A loving shelter from all the crazy things that seemed to follow him around. He asked her out during 6th year and from then on his life had never been the same, sure they had their fights and blows, but who doesnt?
Hermione was the closest thing Harry had to his OWN family, not one that belonged to someone else, but one that belonged to him.
And just a few weeks ago after a really long talk after the last quidditch game they had become intimate. And it was beautiful. There was something about the closeness that he found in her that made him melt. It made him feel as though it was right, and it was real.
Harry now sat underneath the tree just outside the great hall, its leaves hovering over him, Hermione told him to meet her there in a note he gave her in Transfiguration.
"Harry," Hermione forced a smile showing little teeth but enough to give reassurance
"Your um, probably wondering what this is about"
Harry nodded as she continued to say what seemed to be bad news
"Well um i guess there is no easier way to say this and..."
"Hermione quit stalling and just say it, it cant be all bad right?"
"You always said you wanted a big family right,"
"Of course but i dont see why that is relevant"
"...Im pregnant..."
They sat there in silence as Hermione awaited a response, but all she got was a look in his eyes, scared, frightened, terrified and tears began to fill her eyes,
"I know this is hard, i know" she looked at him and all she wanted to do was run, run before he could say anything, she started to stand up and he grabbed her hand and hugged her.
And in his arms she felt a quiet comfort, they sat there together for about an hour without speaking just holding eachother, feeling the closeness to which they needed now more than ever.
All he could think about was I'm too young for this.
Got my whole life ahead.
Hell I'm just a kid myself.
How'm I gonna raise one.
"I have to go Prefects meeting" She tried to smile but it was forced and harry knew it too this was something neither of them planned, then again he supposed, does anyone ever plan these situations.
He sat there wondering, about their future, they both planned on becoming Aurors, which included a vigorous training process not to mention the danger that was to come after you were certified,
"Oh God," he thought "What have we done with ourselves"
All he could see were his dreams goin' up in smoke.
So much for ditchin' this town and hangin' out on the coast.
Oh well, those plans are long gone.
And he said,
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
Might as well kiss it all good-bye.
There goes my life.......
He met Hermione outside the Gryffindor common room after her prefects meeting, and they walked and talked and after a long silence
"Marry me" Harry said now stopping and looking directly at her "We were plannin on getting married anyway right? Things will just be going at a little faster pace than we planned, i mean i have more than enough money and we can put our careers on hold for a few years and raise our kid and we will see from there"
"Harry you cant do that to yourself, you have to become an Auror its been ur dream since you were in 4th year, you cant give up on that now, not for me or anyone"
"Hermione i dont care how much you try and fight it, i am going to marry you whether you like it or not, we are gonna tell your parents we are going tell Lupin and the Weasleys and hten you know what, we are going to have a beautiful wedding live in a beautiful house, and have a beautiful child" and for the first time since this all happened Harry saw her smile, really smile, and she giggled, hugged him and said,
"okay after graduation, we are getting married..."
The next few months seemed to pass in a blur, everyone flipping out about end of the year NEWTS, not only did Harry and Hermione have to worry about that but they also had to deal with telling everyone about baby.
Hermiones parents had liked Harry very much before, but after they were told about the baby, at first were angry but after hearing how they planned to be married became a little bit softer.
Mrs Weasley althought disappointed in the two of them put on a happy face and insisted on helping out with cooking for their wedding and offered to babysit whenever the two of them needed a little break.
Graduation came and everyone was all nerves, escpecially Harry, after all of his encounters with Lord Voldemort over the years he was chosen to be the class speaker, he wasnt quite sure what he was planning on saying to start with but he worked on his speech for a long time before finally perfecting it and reading it to his classmates.
"We are all leaving Hogwarts this year a little stronger, wiser, and smarter than we probably ever imagined we would be, and even a little more hopeful. I never thought that I would live to see this year, but i am glad i did. There are many things out there waiting for us, things waiting to be discovered, and seen. Some of us leave here for the Auror Academy, for job offers at the ministry. I will be getting married at the end of the month to the a person that has come to be one of the most influential in my life, together, here at Hogwarts we learned love and loyalty to eachother and that is something we will never forget. Whatever way you look at it we will remember these years as the happiest of our lives, although for some of us not the easiest. Remember to always ask yourselves, how history will remember you, how will you be looked upon in years to come..."
With a sigh of relief harry ended his speech to a roar of applaud and stepped down from the podium and took his seat as Head Boy next to the Head Girl, Hermione Granger.
A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later.
That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator.
Oh yeah..........he loves that little girl.
It had been 2 years since they were married and their daugter born shortly after, she had raven hair black hair with green eyes that melted your heart, she was named Hannah which meant "Grace of God" because Harry and Hermione figured they didnt deserve to have the beautiful daughter they had, it was a beautiful and wonderful gift just for them. Although she had been shared with much of the wizarding world, the headlines of the Daily Prophet shouted with news of Harry Potters first child Hannah Lillian Potter, reporters wondering if she would be the quidditch player that her father was or the legend that he came to be... Harry hoped she wouldnt because he would hope no one would become a legend for the reasons for which he became one. And because none of his other friends had children just yet Hannah was spoiled with presents, and toys, and overflowing love from everyone who was enchanted by that cute little grin.
Momma's waiting to tuck her in,
As she fumbles up those stairs.
She smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear.
Sleep tight, green (blue) eyes and bouncin' curls.
He smiles.....
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
I love you, daddy good-night.
There goes my life.
It seemed as though their life was perfect, on the eve of her 11th birthday, Hannah recieved her Hogwarts letter, and with much excitement was learning all she could about it. She had already learned many stories from her parents and new much more than either of her parents did when they entered Hogwarts, still though she had a lot to live up too. Her parents had been head boy and girl, smartest and bravest of their class... it was a lot to swallow. Although she knew that if she didnt do it, she had 5 younger brothers and sisters to do it for her, although being the first would be the hardest, she would set the precedent to what people thought of her
Harry simply couldnt believe it, it seemed like he blinked and she had grown up, she was about to go to Hogwarts, and then 2 years Harrison would be in school, then in 3 years Luna and Rons sons, Helios and Thomas, would be at school with Harrys twins Hamilton and Hailey, thenand then she would be graduating, and then getting married, and having kids... before he knew it he would be a grandfather...
It was September 1st and Harry and Hermione were awoken at 6am by a certain 11 year old who was telling them to get up and make breakfast so they could get down to Kings Cross Station in time. Harry patted hermione on the knee and told her he would get up and make breakfast while she got ready. Hannah had quite obviously gotten everyone else up. He and Hermione had many children by now 6 in fact, Hannah Lillian was the oldest, then came Harrison James (9), Hamilton Christopher (8), Hailey Elizabeth (8), Hallie Marie (4), and Hilary Ann (2), and Hermione was newly pregnant with there 7th although they had not told the kids yet.
Luckily Harry and Hermione both had jobs now, well Hermione worked out of the home writhing books, and Harry worked as an off duty Auror, and worked primarily on the mystery part but would only go off to fight when neccessary. Their jobs provided enough to money to keep their family a happy one without worrying about getting food on teh table. Their goal was an even dozen, and they had a a little over a third left to go.
Breakfast at the Potter house was full of noise and madness, everyone grabbing different things as Harry put all the cereals and breakfast bars on the table. He set Hilary in the high chair and fed her the organic babyfood that Hermione had found onsale at the supermarket.
Pretty soon the time came that Harry had been dreading since Hannah was born, the family took floo powder to Kings Cross and went through platform 9 and ¾ , Harry smiled as she loaded the train,
She had that trunk (Honda) loaded down.
With Hogwarts Robes (Abercrombie clothes) a little white owl ( 15 pairs of
shoes)
and his Gringotts Vault Number (American Express.)
He checked the time (oil) and looked at the train (slammed the hood), said
your good to go.
She hugged them both and headed off to the Hogwarts (West Coast).
And he cried,
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
I love you.
Baby good-bye.
There goes my life.
There goes my life.
Baby good-bye.
Harry and Hermione waved as the train pulled out, she was their first, the one they didnt excpect, but she wasnt an accident, or a mistake she was just what they had needed.
