Title: Life without Hogwarts
Chapter 3: The suffrage.
Harry and Hermione shot looks at each other if grief. Why had Tonks brought her? Why had she made Hermione suffer once again? "um…what are you all doing here?" Harry said with a quiver in his voice. Lupin stepped forward and began to speak, " We've come to make sure you made it home okay." Hermione glared at Tonks and said, "We can make it home by ourselves thank-you." Hermione storms off with James in her arms. "I'm sorry about her, she's a little…edgy since the accident. Well I best be on my way also. Nice seeing you." Harry shuffled his feet as fast as he could to catch up with Hermione.
When they entered the house Hermione began to yell, "Why would she bring her? Why?" Hermione then began to cry. "Hermione, its okay…um… she didn't do it on purpose…" Hermione starred at him, "how would you know? She should have gone to jail Harry for what she did to you! But you wouldn't let me call because of Lupin!" Hermione's eyes began to swell again and Harry pleaded with her, "Hermione, please don't get over worked its not good for the baby…" "Oh the whole weeks not been good for the baby and she didn't help it either!" Harry just stood for a few minutes before he spoke again, "its okay, we have James and the new baby just forget about Liathia." Hermione got mad and stormed off into the other room, "What did I say James?" James looked at Harry and shrugged his shoulders.
A couple of hours later Hermione ran in and almost knocked Harry out of his chair, "Harry I forgot about the baby!" Harry look confused and replied, "what about it?" Hermione's eyes grew wider and she screamed, "the appointment!" She grabbed him by the arm and James followed them out the door. They shuffled their feet all the way to a office that looked like it had been punched in the side. It was an awful color of green and had a big sign that said,
Humphrey Freer and INC.
For the new and expecting mothers.
They walked in the office and at the front desk sat a plump witch with frizzy black hair staring straight at Harry, "Your Harry Potter aren't you?" James spoke before Harry could answer, "Yes and I am James Potter." The witch's eyes lit up at James name, "James Potter? Potter? Harry Potter has a son?" Hermione looked at the secretary and began to state why are were there, "Yes, um…my name is Hermione…" The secretary turned back and replied in the snidest tone, " And I deeply care…I'm in a conversation so, you can wait your turn…Harry, is this really your son?" Harry smirked and replied almost in the same tone the secretary talked to Hermione in, "Yes and that girl that interrupted you," His eyes began to glow with anger, "is his mother, my wife and I'd appreciate it if you just took us to the doctor." The secretary slowly got up from her desk and moved swiftly towards the big oak door to lead the Potter's toward the doctor's office. The hall was long and painted bright colors with every door different colors. "Doctor Longbottom," the woman sneered, "Nice to meet you Mr. and …Mrs. Potter." The woman began to shuffle back down the hall as they pushed the door open and saw Neville sitting at his desk signing papers, "um…Neville, look who came this time?" Hermione said as James stepped in through the door. "Is this James?" Harry began to chuckle and turned to Hermione, "Does no one but us think he looks exactly like me with the hair!" The all began to laugh and then Neville began to examine Hermione, "Well um…for 3 months a long everything seems to be going well… and here is a picture of her." Harry and Hermione jaws dropped when the heard the word fling free from Neville's mouth. They both asked at the same time, "A Girl?" Neville looked as if he had just dropped something. He began to explain, "well yes your having a baby girl." Hermione's face began to glow and she got a smile on her face. Before Harry could say a word she began to scream with glee.
By the time they had reached the house, Harry wanted to just go to a room and lock Hermione out. She began babbling on how she would have thing pink and that the baby's name would be beautiful drawn on the wall. Finally Harry yelled, "SHUT UP! Sorry Hermione I know your excited but I get the picture!" Hermione looked as though she was going to cry but instead started laughing.
They had to have laughed at least thirty minutes before James had finally said, "What's so funny?" Harry turned to James and said, "nothing, okay are you ready to get something to eat. They walked into the other room and Hermione and Harry began making dinner. Hermione heard a knock at the door and ran to get it. When she opened the door she almost shut it as fast as she had opened it. Tonks was standing in the doorway with her hood on.
"Hermione, who is it?" Harry screamed from in the kitchen. He walked through the door and almost dropped the plate of food on the floor. He looked at Tonks right in the face and said, "where's Lupin and Liathia?" Tonks bowed, "Harry, I need to talk to you about earlier today…" Hermione glared at Tonks and replied, "what's to talk about, you brought back memories that changed our lives…what's to talk about?" Hermione had tears swelling in her eyes when Tonks tried to step through the door before Harry stopped her, " I don't think that's a good idea. I was only nice to you early because Lupin was there, other wise I would have called the police." Tonks lowered her head and started to laugh, "Why didn't you Harry? Why didn't you call for your perfect wife? Why didn't you?" Hermione looked as though she was going to punch Tonks right in front of James before Harry spoke up, "Tonks, your not helping Hermione or myself recover so if u can please just leave…" but Harry's statement Tonks cut in, "why does Hermione need to recover?" Harry face dropped and Hermione stepped through giving a crying reply, "that is none of your business." Tonks got a wicked smile on her face, " You got her pregnant again didn't ya Harry? You just can't be happy without getting a girl pregnant…" but Hermione began shouting at Tonks, " HOW DARE YOU! You have no right to come into this house and talk to use that way," as Hermione finished her sentence Harry pulled Hermione back at replied to Tonks, "I think its time you left Nymphadora." Tonks got a mean look in her eyes and turned and walked away.
The next few weeks flew past and Harry was slowly remembering why he had so hated Hermione when she was pregnant. Once again she made Harry put all of the new toys and crib together by hand because she wanted to go to her muggle roots. James was too young to help but was not to young to make fun of his father, "Come on Dad, remember no magic." Harry looked at James at smiled and said, "and remember James, if you make fun of Daddy, you won't get ice cream after dinner…" but before Harry could finish Hermione screamed at him, "Harry you don't say that to him! He will get ice cream!" Harry looked at James and James began to laugh.
Once again week had flew past and Hermione had gotten bigger while Harry grew more and more miserable with Hermione's mood swings. Harry was always doing random things to make Hermione happy while James sat back and laughed.
One day when James and Harry where sitting by the fire, the heard something that made them jump. They heard a women screaming…
