Chapter 3: Life is bliss.
Disclaimer: Hi guys, don't own nothing cept the plot oh and Dilferus. Please R&R guyz a good review can change my story writing style! Thanx heaps.
Harry was on time to work today and Dilferus seemed pleased about it. He had just finished lunch when a memo appeared at his desk and opened. He recognized the handwriting as Fudges.
Harry,
Your presence is required in the minister's office immediately.
Fudge.
Great thought Harry, I'm in for it now. He got up and walked off to the elevators and caught one to the minister's office.
When he arrived he heard the sound of a few voices. He knocked.
"Enter" came Rufus Scrimegour's voice.
Harry walked in and saw Dumbledore sitting opposite the Minister with fudge and Percy hovering behind him.
"Hello Harry" said Dumbledore.
"Hello professor" said Harry. He bowed to the minister.
"How may I help sir" he asked politely.
"Ok Mr Potter I am a very busy man so I will get straight down to business. I have been in discussion with professor Dumbledore about the protection around Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It appears one of the Aurors who has been serving as part of the guard has disappeared without a trace. He will need replacing. After some discussion with the headmaster I have decided that you are the best for the job. You will start there as of the first of September. You will receive a letter regarding all the finer details in a few days time. Do you accept this new post?" he asked.
"Well umm I don't know. What about my wife?" Harry asked.
"Oh it's alright Harry she can come and stay with you until she is ready to take up her new teaching post" Dumbledore said his eyes twinkling.
"Oh that's okay then. Alright minister I accept this new post" Harry said.
"Well done. We will have the letter in the post in a few days time. You may leave" said Scrimegour.
"Thankyou minister. Professor may I have a word outside" Harry said.
"Yes of course Harry" said Dumbledore getting up and moving towards him.
Harry walked out closely followed by Dumbledore.
"What is it Harry?" Dumbledore said surveying him through his half moon glasses.
"Thankyou professor. So much" Harry said barely able to contain the emotions welling up inside him.
"No problems Harry. How is Raechel doing in the pregnancy?" he asked.
"Oh she's fine. She's due in August" said Harry.
"That's nice to know. Give her my regards will you?" Dumbledore said.
"Sure thing Professor. See you later" Harry said moving off towards the elevator.
"Goodbye Harry" said Dumbledore going back into the minister's office.
lllllllllllllllllllllll
The day could not have passed more quickly in Harry's opinion. When it came time to go home he could not contain himself. There was only one person who did not seem very happy about his promotion: Dilferus. When Harry told him the news he went all quiet for a while and then he suddenly walked off without a word. He had been in a foul mood for the rest of the day. Harry put it from his mind as he walked up their driveway.
Raechel was doing the vacuuming when he got home. Harry didn't know why she wasn't using magic especially now that she was pregnant. He pulled out the cord.
"What the- oh hey babe how was your day" she said moving towards him.
"It was great, guess what" he said.
"What?' said Raechel.
"I got a promotion" he said smiling.
"Really what to" she said.
"I'm going to be part of the Hogwarts guard" he said proudly.
"Really? Oh Harry that's great. We wont have to be apart now" she said "when do you start?" she asked.
"The first of September" he said.
"Oh but what about me and the child?" she asked.
"You can come as well. Professor Dumbledore said so" he said.
"That's great" she said.
"Yeah I can't wait to start. It will be my first time where I can go to work and not have to put up with Dilferus" he said.
"Hey that's not very nice" she said.
"Yeah but I noticed something strange about him today" he said the smile fading a little.
"What?" raechel asked her hands resting on her stomach.
"He was not very happy when I told him about it. In fact he was downright pissed" he said.
"Oh okay what you mean?" she asked him.
"Well when I told him he went all quiet and then walked of without saying anything" he said.
"Maybe he's annoyed he wont get to terrorise you any more" raechel said jokingly.
"Probably" said Harry "anyway how was your day?"
"Pretty good, I managed to get most of the housework done. I'm just finishing the vacuuming now" she said grabbing the cord.
"Why are you not doing it with magic seeing as you're pregnant?" Harry asked her sternly.
"Well I thought I would see what a pregnant muggle would feel like doing the housework" she said.
That was the last straw for Harry. He made her sit down and watch the television while he did the rest of the vacuuming and cooked dinner.
He had a bit of trouble deciding what to cook but he eventually decided to cook some Lasagne with garlic bread because he knew it was Raechel's favourite.
When they finally sat down to dinner Harry was exhausted.
"I don't know how you doe it" he said.
"Do what?" she asked.
"All the housework and cooking even while you're pregnant" he said "I'm exhausted"
"Well it is a woman thing you wouldn't understand about. But thank you for the dinner it is very nice" she said.
"That's okay. I just hope you have learnt your lesson" he said.
"What lesson?" she asked taking a sip of her wine.
"While you are pregnant you are not to do the housework without magic because I don't want you to risk hurting yourself or the baby. Understand" he said.
"Yes Harry I promise I wont do the housework and cooking without magic while I am pregnant" she said throwing the dish cloth at him.
He caught it and put it on the table. He smiled. Then he collapsed.
