Title: I will always love you

Authored by: Gail

Summary: When Ginny discovers she is pregnant with a miracle child (means no one knows how it happened) and then sees Harry proposing to someone, she runs away to America, what happens when about 5 yrs later poor unsuspecting Harry turns up there with Ginny's brother? Overused plot…I know, I like the characters. H/G, CW/OC

Rating: T for language, talking about sex, suggestions of abortion, etc.

A/N: a longer chapter! Lots of fluff!

Chapter 2

They reached the house in half an hour and as soon as Gaurika opened the door, the little red head ran into the kitchen and hugged her mother.

Virginia Velley laughed and spun her daughter. She was glad she hadn't thought of aborting the pregnancy or giving up her child when she came to know she was expecting. She didn't regret her decisions at times like this at all.

"Hey sweetie, did you bother your auntie while you were out?"

Her child shook her head as Gaurika came into the kitchen where Virginia was baking. Vi almost dropped the tray when she saw the two men behind her friend.

"Vi, Dumbledore sent two members of the order to help us out. This is Harry Potter and Charlie Weasley."

She let out a nervous laugh that only her daughter and friend could recognize. She shook their hands "It's nice to meet you. I am Virginia Velley."

They exchanged polite greetings with her and she led them to the living room.

"How long are you staying for?"

"We don't know exactly how long it will take us to get the information we need. But I assume we will be here for 2-3 months. I hope that is okay. If not…"

Virginia raised her hand to stop him, "No, that's absolutely fine. We're always glad to help the order in any way."

Harry smiled at her and she excused herself not wanting him to see her blushing. She went into the kitchen and banged her head against the refrigerator softly and groaned. Why did it have to be them? Why in the world did it have to be HIM?

Gaurika entered the kitchen looking completely exasperated, "Vi, I really don't know what to do with Lily. She was so cold to them when we met them and so rude! I couldn't even believe it was her. Do you know what she just said when you left? She turned to Harry POTTER and said 'Why are you staying here? Why not at a hotel?' And she obviously knows why. You need to talk to her."

The red head nodded at the brunette and handed her a plate filled with freshly baked muffins, " Take these to Harry and Charlie and send Lily here."

The Indian woman walked into the living room and she said to her housemate's daughter, "Lils, your mother wants with you in the kitchen."

She could feel the tension in the room and knew Lily must have said something while she was gone. She turned to the two men with the plate in her hand, "Muffin?" She offered. Charlie's stomach growled loudly and the tension in the room disappeared as the three of them burst into laughter.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

In the kitchen…

Virginia sat across her daughter. She was almost an exact copy of her. The child was fiddling with the hem of her cotton dress, refusing to meet her mother's eyes.

The older woman sighed and asked, "Why must you be so difficult?"

The girl looked up at her, "Mu-um!"

"No Lillian! What ever possessed you to do that? I told you the truth. I never hid anything from you, why must you make it hard for us. Do you want them to know? I explained to you why I never told anyone, WHY I left. You know I can't do this. I can't break up so many families. I thought you understood. I've never asked you to do anything big for me sweetie. Can you just do this for me? Please?"

Her daughter nodded and hugged her mother. "Mum, please don't let it hurt you. I won't do anything to give us away or anything. I promise. I'll even go and apologize. Okay?"

Virginia kissed her daughter on the head and led her into the other room saying, "Thank you love. Now go apologize so we can have dinner."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The dinner was going smoothly. Harry seemed to be completely taken by Lily, now that she was actually acting like her normal self. She chatted endlessly about things she picked up in books and describing places that she had read about and one day wanted to visit. And he provided small inputs to the conversation.

"I went to Italy on assignment once, it's absolutely beautiful. Venice and Milan were my favourite. Rome can be a bit dangerous with the pickpockets and stuff, but if you are a wizard…"

Virginia smiled as she watched her daughter listened in rapt attention to his descriptions. A small frown showed her concentration and by the way she was sucking her lower lip Vi could tell she was completely engrossed. Her food lay forgotten, her spoon was in her hand, but it was easy to see that she had completely forgotten about it.

Isn't that interesting. It's been twenty minutes and she hasn't gobbled up the food yet. AND it's spinach soup, her favourite. Vi mused silently in her head. She shifted her attention to where Gaurika and her brother were talking.

"So, what do you do?" Charlie asked.

"I am a doctor."

"You are a muggle!" asked the Dragon trainer in shock.

The darker woman frowned at him, "Is something wrong with that?"

"No!" The red haired man replied quickly, "Not at all, it's just that I thought we were staying with magical folk. Especially since you are so aware of the Order and the magical world."

"Oh, Vi's a witch and so is Lily. Plus I've known Albus for all my life. My family has always known about Magic. I'm one of the muggles who help the Order with things concerning the muggle world."

"So, what type of doctor are you?"

"I'm a Neurologist." Gaurika told him.

"Isn't that something to do with the brain?" Charlie asked.

She nodded, "Yes, mainly. It's basically to do with the Nervous system though. But since I specialize in cognitive Neurology, I work with the brain a lot. How do you know so much about Muggles?"

He laughed, "My youngest brother's wife is muggleborn. She talks a lot about Medicine. She wanted to be a… I think…Geneacologist. Her parents were Dempises. You know, the ones that build teeth."

Gaurika bit her lip too stifle her laughter, "You mean a Gynecologist and Dentists." She explained softly.

"Oh." He said awkwardly. His face was almost as red as his hair.

He turned to the woman he didn't know was really his sister. "So, where do you work?"

"I own a bakery a few blocks from here."

He smiled at her, "I guess we know who made those muffins then."

She smiled back at her brother. Her heart twisting. You don't even remember my baking. "I guess we do."

As Charlie and her friend fell back into a conversation she became aware of the silence between her daughter and Harry. She looked at them to see Harry staring at her. Lily was nodding off with her head resting on her arms. Harry looked at his daughter and smiled up at Virginia and mouthed, " She's sleepy."

The red haired woman smiled at the child fondly as she woke her up, "Honey, you seem tired. Go and change, I'll be there to tuck you in after a few minutes."

The five year old moaned, "But mum, I want to know more about Manchuria!"

Her mother chuckled, "Mr. Potter is still going to be here tomorrow, you can ask him then. Even YOUR concentration level will not help decipher what he is saying now. Go change into your nightclothes, I'll be up in a little bit."

The child smiled slightly and hugged everyone goodnight. Harry, who had never been touched a lot during his life and had not been around a lot of children seemed a little taken aback, but he hugged her back tightly before wishing her a goodnight.

Lily trudged up the stairs to the room and Vi started put the dishes for washing and followed her up.

When she reached the room Lily was already in her bed.

"Mum, will you sing for me please?"

Vi nodded as she covered her child and settled herself next to her on the bed.

Softly she started singing.

"If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way

And I, I will always love you
I will always love you
You, you, my darling you (mm mm)

Bittersweet Memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you
You need

And I, I will always love you
I will always love you --- you

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you dreamed of
And I wish to you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love

And I, I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always love you

You, darling I love you
Oh, I'll always, I'll always love you (oo-oo)"

She finished to see Harry Potter leaning against the doorframe. She smiled and kissed her sleeping daughter.

"You sing well." He whispered when she reached him.

She smiled at him and blushed in pleasure. "Thank You." She whispered back.

"I should go to bed now, I have to open the shop at 7:30 after dropping Lily to school. Let me show you to you room."

They parted at his door and she went to her room for the night. Virginia shut her door and leaned against it with her eyes closed. Her heart beating wildly within her chest. He still threw her nervous system out of whack.
