Chapter 12
Ginny walked into the sitting room and Harry jumped up. "Is she okay, what's wrong?" he asked. Ginny laughed and said, "Sit down Harry." Harry slowly sat down and asked again, "What's wrong?" Ginny sat next t him and put a hand on his knee. She looked into his eyes and said, "Harry, Lizzy is fine. She got her first period this morning." Harry looked scared out of hit wits. Ginny laughed and said, "Don't worry, Harry. She didn't know how to tell you, that is why she stayed in her room, she was waiting for me to get here. I hope you don't mind, but I told her that we would have a 'girls day' today. I think she needs that." Harry nodded, "Do I need to do anything?" Ginny smiled and kissed him, "No, just don't ask her about it. She is really embarrassed I think. Just tell her to have a good day or something." Harry nodded again, "I can do that," he said.
Ginny had gone back to get Lizzy. Harry walked into the kitchen and got a cup of coffee. "Oh man. What have I gotten myself into," he thought. Harry had just sat down when Lizzy and Ginny walked into the room. Harry smiled and got up. He gave both of his girls a kiss on the head and said, "Good morning." Lizzy gave him a hug and said, "Sorry I was late for breakfast." Harry waved it off, "Don't worry about that. Listen, I have got stuff I need to take care of today, how about you two spend the day together. You can go to Diagon Alley and get your stuff today. Just remember, you have to be able to carry everything you get by yourself." Lizzy smiled and nodded. Harry pulled out a money bag and handed it to Ginny. "I am going to let Ginny carry the money, but you have complete control over it. And I don't want you buying any food with your money okay, Ginny has money for that." Lizzy nodded and said, "Thank you daddy."
After Ginny and Lizzy left for Diagon Alley, Harry went to the Burrow. When he got there he found Mrs. Weasley in the kitchen. She looked up at him and smiled, "Oh Harry, come in, are you hungry?" Harry nodded and sat down. "Thank you Molly." She filled his plate with eggs, sausage, and toast. "Where are Ginny and Lizzy?" Harry snickered, "Oh they went shopping at Diagon Alley today. They needed a 'girls day out'. I sure am glad Ginny was at the house early toady." Molly looked at him, "Oh and why is that?" Harry sighed, he didn't really want to get into this discussion, but he had to get it out so he said, "Well Lizzy didn't seem right this morning when I woke her up for breakfast. She told me she was fine and that she would be out soon, so I went to fix breakfast. Ginny was there already and when we had finished cooking, Lizzy still hadn't come out. I went and knocked on her door and she totally freaked out. She told me to leave her alone and get Ginny. Well anyways, Ginny goes in to talk to her and comes back out after a while. Oh man, Molly I was so embarrassed, Lizzy started her very first period." Harry put his head in his hands and said, "I would have had no idea what to say to her if Ginny wasn't there already." He looked up at Molly, who appeared to be trying not to laugh. He had to laugh; too, it was kina funny. When they had finished laughing Harry asked, "Molly do you really think I can do this. I mean being a dad to an eleven year old?
Molly smiled and pulled Harry into a hug. "Harry, If Arthur and I thought that you could not handle this then we would have strongly discouraged you from doing it. We have faith in you. You can do this, Harry. Yes, you are going to run into obstacles on the way, like today, but you and Ginny will be able to handle them. You did what you felt in your heart to be right, don't second guess that." Harry let out a sigh and returned Molly's hug. "Thank you. It means a lot to hear that you believe in me. You are the only mother I have ever had. I guess I was just shocked about this morning. It was scary because she didn't want to talk to me. I know that Ginny will be able to make her feel better and help her through this. Oh did I tell you, I have decided what I want to do for a job." Molly smiled, "No, you haven't told me. What did you decide?" "I am going to go to school to become a teacher. I really enjoyed working with the DA and sitting in for Tonks. I think that once I am finished, I am going to see about getting a job at Hogwarts." Molly hugged him again, "That is so wonderful Harry. I am so proud of you."
