Chapter One
Hermione looked into the bassinet that held Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley's daughter Lily. She was thrilled that her plan had worked. Even though she trusted Draco a great deal, a seed of doubt still lingered. But as of this moment the seed of doubt was gone. She felt Severus's hand rest upon her shoulder. She looked up to face her husband.
"I have good news," Hermione told Snape.
"What news is that?" Snape asked.
Hermione glanced at the sleeping baby one last time before slipping off her seat and gliding over to the other side of the room. She dropped onto the couch. Snape followed quietly and sat next to her. She wore a long dark red dress. Snape wore his long dark black robes.
"We are to bear a child," replied Hermione.
Snape grinned. He could only imagine a child that they could produce. Snape was thrilled by the idea. He placed a hand on his wife's stomach.
"What do you think of the idea?" Snape asked his wife carefully.
He never knew what his wife thought. One moment she was content and then the next moment she was flying off the handle mad about something that happened. You could never tell with her. A grin played upon Hermione's lips.
"Just think of the powers our child will have."
Hermione's eyes glazed over as she thought of the future and what it held. She could already see her son or daughter with so much power. She could feel the power coarse through her veins. She looked up and into Snape's eyes. She could see him thinking the same thing.
Harry sat on his couch answering as many of the Aurrors questions as he could. But with every word he spoke the trueness of his words struck him. Up until now he had been living in a world were this was all a dream. But now as he sat telling the Aurror everything that had happened he couldn't deny the truth any longer. His baby girl had been kidnapped. He didn't think he could live any longer knowing his baby was in the hands of some ruthless killer like Draco Malfoy. A pop could be heard and Harry looked up to find Remus Lupin and Tonks standing in front of them. Tonks quickly ran off to the kitchen were Ginny was pretending to make tea. Harry knew she wasn't, but hadn't been able to get away from the Aurror long enough to go comfort her.
"You may go," Remus told the Aurror.
"But I still have…"
"You may go," Remus repeated, golden specks in his eyes.
The Aurror nodded and quickly left the room. Remus sat down next to Harry and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"This is a pain I never wanted you to experience Harry," Remus told him softly.
Harry looked up at him curiously. He didn't know what Remus was talking about.
"The day I found out that James and Lily were murdered I instantly become deathly afraid that you had been killed as well. It's a pain that I will never forget and don't want anyone else to know. It hurt me horribly," Remus explained upon seeing Harry's confused face.
Harry nodded in understanding. He rested his head in his hands as the tears that threatened to spill came sliding down his face. He cried silently for a moment.
