Chapter 7
Harry looked at Ginny and asked again, "Lizzy are you ready to open the rest of your presents?" Still no answer. Ginny walked to the other side of Harry to where Lizzy's face was and said, "Uh Harry she sleeping." Harry said, "Should I wake her? I know she wanted o open her presents." Ginny shook her head, "No, she had a long morning, how about we just take her inside, you can hold her while everyone else opens their presents. I don't think she would like waking up alone. I will go in and let everyone know and ask if they could try to be quiet." Harry nodded and Ginny went inside. When Ginny came back out she said, "Okay, everyone is being quiet or her, Mum didn't think it would be a good idea to put a silencing charm, she said Lizzy might get worried if she wakes up to a room full of people and absolute silence. But everyone agree to be quiet." Harry nodded and carried Lizzy inside and to the sitting room. Arthur stood up so Harry could have his seat and Harry said, "Thank you." Mr. Weasley smiled and said, "No problem. I remember many night holding a sleeping Ginny in that chair." Ginny blushed and gave her dad a hug.
Lizzy had slept through everyone opening all their presents. They decided they would wait for her to open the ones she had gotten. Molly announced that it was time for dinner. Harry wasn't sure what to do with Lizzy, she was still sleeping peacefully, but he knew she needed to eat something. He looked to Molly for some guidance. Molly smiled knowing his questioning look and said, "Yes, you should wake her. If she sleeps much longer she will not sleep tonight." and she walked out of the room with the rest of the family. Harry gently rubbed Lizzy's back, "Lizzy, Lizzy it is time to wake up," he said softly. Lizzy stirred and said, "Daddy" Harry smiled and replied, "Yes, sweetie" "Daddy where are we? What time is it?" Harry said, "We are at Nana and Granddad's house, you fell asleep on the walk back. We didn't want to wake you. It is time for dinner. Nana said you could open your presents after we eat."
Lizzy sat bolt upright and looked around the room then back to Harry, "I missed the presents?" she whined. Harry laughed, "You were sleeping pretty hard. I held you for two hours, while everyone talked and opened their presents, but now when we are done eating, the spotlight will be on just you, while you open yours." "Okay, I am hungry." and she put her head back on his shoulder. Harry stood up and started walking to the kitchen. "Harry?" Lizzy said, " thank you for adopting me, I like having a daddy. I love you" Harry smiled and said, "I love you to Lizzy and I like having a daughter." and he turned his head to kiss her cheek. They walked into the kitchen and Harry put Lizzy down in a chair next to Ginny and he sat on the other side of Lizzy. Lizzy leaned over and gave Ginny a hug and said, "Thank you for listening to me before and making me feel better. I can't wait for you to be my mom. I love you." Ginny smiled, returned the hug, and kissed her head. "I love you too Lizzy." They all began eating and Lizzy looked around and thought, "Now this is a family"
