Hey again readers! Well this is chapter two, I hope you like it but I really want everyone who reads this to review it too... please pwitty plwease....
Ooook that's enough of my rambling. On with the story!
Chapter
2
Harry stood staring at the little person wrapped up in
thin blankets beside the dustbin. Why would someone leave his or her
child here? He had heard a scream and the sound of dissaperating,
which led him to think of two things that could have happened, either
a parent abandoned the child here and screamed to get attention then
disspperated, or something had happened to the person looking after
the child, and the loud crack sound was made by the person who had
hurt the guardian of the little girl.
Harry looked back towards
the entrance of the laneway, there was nobody there, and he couldn't
just leave the baby alone, he made the decision to carefully pick the
baby up in his arms who was dozing in her blankets.
The baby
looked so small compared to Harry, she instinctively nuzzled in to
his chest and yawned. Harry bit his lip... He knew he would get in so
much trouble with the Order for this, but it was his better judgment
not to leave a tiny little baby outside alone. Harry slowly walked to
the end of the laneway and down Holly street. It was surprising to
him how natural having a baby in his arms felt, especially when he
has never held a baby before. Lost in his musings he didn't realise
that he was already in Privit Drive. He glanced around, and quickened
his pace towards number four. As he got closer to the front door loud
shouting was evident from inside. Looking down at the little baby in
his arms, (who was now asleep against Harry's torso) he decided to
wait until the shouting had subsided before entering the house. Harry
put his ear against the door and screwed up his eyes in
concentration, trying to make out the words...
"Where is he? If
you did something to him Dursley I swear...."
"Please good
sir, calm yourself down.... I didn't do
anything!"
"LIES!"
"Vernon..."
"Where is Harry,
I am going to break down every wall until I find him!"
"He
could just have left his house"
"No he couldn't! There is a
member of he Order outside his door 24/7."
"Ah...."
"What...don't
tell me? Mundungus Fletcher!"
"Seriously, I can't believe....
Dumbledore will kill him!"
"Harry's out there... with all
those Deatheaters!"
Harry thought it was time for him to make an
appearance. He slowly pulled down the handle and walked in the house,
baby still in his arms. He came face to face with Moody, Remus Lupin,
Tonks, Minerva McGonagall and Mr. Weasley.
"You little Sod!
Where have you been!" Shouted a red faced Moody "We told you
'Don't leave the house' and guess what you do.... LEAVE THE GOD
DAMN HOUSE!" his magical eye was twisting and turning madly in its
socket. He didn't even notice the little bundle wrapped up in
Harry's arms. It was Minerva McGonagall who noticed.
"What is
that you've got there Potter?" she said in a relatively calm
voice, Harry hesitated before revealing the little pink face curled
up to his chest. Everyone gasped loudly including Uncle Vernon and
Aunt Petunia who had been sulking in the background. There was an
uncomfortable moment of silence. Mr Weasley spoke first.
"Please
tell us it isn't yours Harry." He said in a tense voice. Everyone
in the room looked at him in disbelief and then turned their
untrusting looks back onto Harry.
"No!" Harry said a little
too loudly, so the baby in his arms woke with a start and started
bawling her little eyes out. He instinctively he started bobbing her
up and down and whispering "shhhh" in her tiny little ears.
Everyone was staring at him but it felt so natural to have her in his
arms that he just ignored them. It was Tonks this time that broke the
ice. "Harry, where did you find this little baby? They don't just
grow on trees," she said, eyebrows raised. Harry proceeded to tell
then the whole story from start to finish; there were exasperated
cries from Lupin and Moody regarding Harry's safety, and deep sighs
from the entire female's occupying the room. Harry kept glancing
down at the baby, checking her little heartbeat every other
second.
Moody's forehead was scrunched up in concentration. The
baby was a big problem; trust the Potter kid to make things more
complicated. It was clear by the way Potter had attached himself to
the child that he wouldn't let her go. And there was a meeting at
headquarters that needed to be attended by everyone, including him.
It was decided amongst the people at Harry's house, that the baby
should stay with Harry. And that Dumbledore will be informed of the
situation this evening at the meeting. They were all exiting Harry's
aunt and uncles house. Warning Harry of the consequences and such
like. But Harry didn't seem that interested, he was more
preoccupied with the little person in his arms, and as much as Moody
hated to admit it. They looked right together.
Harry walked up
the stairs, baby in one arm, baby supplies in the other. He was very
surprised how nice his aunt and uncle was being about this, and he
thought that perhaps, Moody's revolving eye had something to do
with it.
Harry tiptoed carefully into his room, smiling slightly.
He laid the girl on his bed and set up her crib, got out all of the
food and nappies and such. This all took around 15 minutes. He picked
up the little girl in his arms and examined her face closely for the
first time. Her blue eyes shone like a light, they were big and
rounded. Her cheeks were rosy pink. She had a teeny tiny little
mouth, and cute ears and a sweet nose. She was perfect. Harry felt as
if though she was his own flesh and blood, and so he felt fitting to
give her a name.
He gave her the name Amara. Meaning
Everlasting, because that's what his love for her was.
Thank you everyone who reviewed last time, I really appreciate it!
