Chapter 11
The next couple of days went by rather fast. Lizzy was so absorbed with baby Becca, she was having so much fun. She would hold her, and rock her to sleep, and feed her, and even change her diaper. They had spent a lot of their time at the Burrow, to help Mrs. Weasley with baby Becca. However it was two days before Ginny and Lizzy were to go back to Hogwarts, and Lizzy still needed to go shopping. Harry had gotten up that morning and knocked on Lizzy's door. Slowly he opened the door and said, "Lizzy, you need to wake up." Lizzy moaned, "I am awake dad, I just don't wanna get up." Harry walked over to her bed and sat down, "Why? What's wrong? Are you sick?" Lizzy chuckled and said, "No, I am fine. I just don't want this to disappear. I keep thinking I might wake up one day to find out it was a dream."
Harry reached over and pushed Lizzy hair out of her face and said, "Lizzy, this is not a dream. It is very real. I am your dad now, Ginny will be your mom one day, and you have a home, a real home now. Come up get up, get dressed and meet me in the kitchen. Okay." Lizzy nodded and said, "Okay dad." Harry walked out of the room and closed the door. He walked into the kitchen to find Ginny sitting at the table already.Harry walked up to her and embraced her. "Hey hon, you're here early," he said.
Ginny gave him a kiss, "Yeah, mum was feeding Rebecca when I got up, so I figured I would come here for breakfast. I still don't see why I can't just stay here." Harry smiled and kissed her again, and said, "You know your mum doesn't think we would behave ourselves if you stayed here. You may be seventeen and all, but you are still her baby. Didn't she say that you could start staying here this summer, when Ron and Hermione are here?" Ginny sighed and said, "Yeah, but she only said that because she know there is no way Ron will let me sleep in your room. I can make my own choices, I wish she would accept that." Harry smiled and said, "You are so cute when you pout. I love you." Ginny looked away a minute and said, "I am not pouting, I just want to spend as much time with you while I can." Harry laughed and said, "Well since you are here, you wanna help me make breakfast, Lizzy should be in any minute." Ginny sighed, "Yeah I suppose."
Harry and Ginny had finished making breakfast and Lizzy stilled hadn't come in. Harry looked worried, "I wonder what she is doing, She was awake when I went in there. I am going to go see what's wrong." Ginny followed him to Lizzy's room. Harry knocked on the door, "Lizzy, are you still awake?" they waited a seconds and Lizzy replied through the closed door, "Yes dad I am still awake. Listen I don't think I can talk to you about this. Can you please owl Ginny or something. I need to talk to her like right now." Harry looked at Ginny concerned and Ginny replied, "Lizzy it's me. Can I come in?" They heard Lizzy rush to the door. The door suddenly opened and Lizzy pulled Ginny into the room. Harry looked stunned. Lizzy looked at him and appeared to be scared. She said, "Dad please, I just need to talk to Ginny." Harry didn't know what else to do so he nodded and went into the small sitting room to wait for them.
As soon as Lizzy closed the door, she ran into Ginny's arms crying. "Lizzy what's wrong?" Ginny said hugging the girl. Lizzy let go of Ginny and stepped back and said, "Ginny it was horrible. I woke up this morning before dad, and I went to the bathroom. I think I started my period Ginny. I didn't know what to do. I came back in here and curled up under the covers. Not long after that, dad came in and asked if there was something wrong. I just couldn't tell him that, so I told him I was afraid I would wake up to find that all this was a dream. I know it was lame, but I couldn't tell him what was really wrong. I figured I would wait until you got here and talk to you about it. Then he cam e and knocked on the door. Oh, Ginny what am I going to tell him. What do I do about this, No one has ever talked to me about this before. I mean I know enough to know what was going on, but that's all. Ginny, you gotta help me." Ginny smiled and pulled Lizzy into a hug, "It's okay Lizzy, we will take care of everything. What do you say about a girls only day?" Lizzy nodded.
