A/N Thank you all for the reviews. Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan.
To every guest that leaves a review. I will respond to all reviews even the ones I do not like. But I will respond in a Pm, responding to them before a chapter will only take away from the story.
(BSC 5 C09) C136 That little bundle of joy part one.
It was two days later that Narcissa returned with the list of buildings she thought would be good enough for the Death Eaters. The friends were looking it over when Harry asked her how it went with the Noseless. It was one question that brought all the adults rushing into the room to hear it all from themselves.
The moment Narcissa wanted to start talking she was stopped by Bella. "Hold on sis, First we have to get Nolwenn to get her writing stuff so she can help us remember it".
Narcissa had to shake her head because she Hadn't seen them coming back in. "Why should she do that".
"Well, we want her to do it," Hermione told her as she sat down next to Nolwenn with her own writing stuff. "We have talked about it".
"See Minerva, they just keep on talking while we the adults have to sit by and watch" Amelia called out with a huff as she turned her head up from Susan with her nose in the air.
"Just go on Hermione, My aunty is just jealous she didn't talk about it first," Susan said as Amelia turned to her seeing her niece sticking her tongue out with a smile".
"Sirius do something she is taking the pixie out of me".
Sirius just looked at Amelia and then turned to Susan who had Harry standing behind her. "Now, Sirius. Are you really going to reprimand a little sweet girl like Susan the big bad Grimm you think you are"? Harry told him while Susan was fluttering her eyes at him with the sweetest smile she could produce.
Sirius gaped at the both of them and wanted to reply when he felt Bella and Daphne sitting down next to him. "Think about it Sirius. you can sleep on the couch for one night because Amelia is mad at you" Daphne started.
"Just one night, or a very long time if we are mad at you because we will curse you so much that Amelia will not want you next to her for a very long time when we are done with you for picking on sweet Little Susan".
Sirius just started to look left and right to Bella and Daphne as little drops of sweat started dripping from his head.
It was now that Amelia handed Susan a Galion. "Yes, you were right he is more afraid of you all then he is of me". "Sometime in the near future, I do have to do something about that".
The loud swallowing they heard came from Sirius when he looked at Amelia and heard her whispering. The laughter that followed kept on going for about ten minutes when James called out from the portrait, "I would not prank them again Sirius they are more vicious than we ever were when they go for payback".
Sirius just nodded as he felt two lips on his cheek. He gazed at the side and saw Amelia sitting next to him. "If you prank one of them they will all prank you back so watch out the next time," Amelia said softly. Sirius could only nod after hearing it and that was what he did.
It was at this point that Narcissa turned back to Hermione still with that little smile on her face asking her to go on. Hermione smiled back "Well we did talk about it but not alone. Grangran. Grandma Mini and Grandmere were with us. We asked them who had suffered the most after the war. They told us that it were the family members of the victims of Voldemort. This time we wanted to do something for them but we had to figure out what and how. It was then that Grandmere told us that books about the war would sell, especially if we would all tell our own story in it. It would also keep all the rubbish away that Rita would write if she would have the chance. Now we all thought some more and then it struck Susan. She told us Nolwenn could do it she was at the heart of it all so she would be the best to write about it. And that is why she is here writing".
Narcissa nodded "And why are you".
"Well, she could forget something".
"He, I know what I'm doing," Nolwenn said.
Hermione just looked at her as she raised an eyebrow. Nolwenn turned to Sirius. "If you prank them again, I'm in" and this time Nolwenn threw Hermione a raspberry when she looked at her.
It was at that point that Amelia stood and went to sit next to Narcissa shaking her head. "Honey", Sirius asked softly.
"No Sirius. If you are planning another prank I want nothing to do with it. It is your funeral not mine".
"Before you, all go on a rampage," Narcissa said before they could have another go at each other. "There are some of us who want to know about iT".
Sirius wanted to respond but was silence by Minerva who told Narcissa to go on.
The kits were laughing as Sirius looked at Minerva who just rolled her wand in her hand.
Narcissa turned to Harry, "Say, Harry, why not get the big Pensive so we can watch it. it will be much better than me telling it".
"You mean the memory of him looking at it in a Pensieve".
Narcissa nodded just before she turned to Emma. "Harry, Emma and Dan, can't watch it, they are muggles".
"That is not completely true Narcissa," Lily said from her painting. "muggles do have a little magic in them just like everything around us. With a squib, it is more but something is wrong with it, that is also why they can't use it. Still, Squibs do have some use in a way and that is why they can see Dementors. For A muggle there is a way they can also use it. It isn't much but it makes them see things like Dementors and use a Pensieve. To use that little bit of magic you have to have a neckless that Alice and I made when we were unspeakable. They are in the draw in the vault at Gringotts".
Bogrod told a guard to get them as he turned to Lily. "Why have we never heard of it before".
"That is a long story," Lily said. "Basically it all comes back to the war. Before it, we were working on it. you see I did love my sister at one time and I was sad that she could not come into the world where I was living in, neither could my parents. Now I knew that Alice had a cousin that was born from a muggle and a squib. She loved her dearly but could not show her the magical world. So that was something we wanted to change. Now we did make quite a lot of them and many failed. But these I have placed in my vault will work for a long time. All you have to do is put some of your own magic into them. That will then release the magic they have in themselves. This magic will then make it so that they can see Dementors, spells and use Wizarding items like Pensieve". It was now that Lily looked at Hermione. "And sorry but they will not be able to do magic. And I do not know about brooms but I'm sure Dan would want to try it when we are don".
Dan nodded rapidly as he looked at Harry clearly asking him when he could try it.
Most of the adults knew that it was a dream of many muggles to do something as common as that. Then again they had gone to a movie theater and that had been something wonderful for them, but also something that was just as common for Dan and Emma. Lilly had seen it and went on. "Now we had these ready but knew that whit the ideas of Voldemort they would never be used. So we hid them away waiting for the right time to bring them back".
It was only a moment later that one of the Goblin guards had gone away and came back with two of those necklaces. Minerva took them and placed some of her magic in it and hung it around the necks of Emma and Dan. It was right after it that they placed a finger into the Pensieve and gasped at the place they appeared. "Where are we," Dan asked, "And why do I see myself sitting there next to my wife".
"We are in one of Narcissa's memories. in this way you can look at a memory like you are in the room" Minerva told them as she appeared next to them.
It was now that Narcissa thought about it and everyone saw the memory start.
The memory.
Narcissa was standing next to the Dark Lord as she watched herself walking into the restaurant right behind Emma and Dan. Emma walked around her self and gazed at the back of her own head. "Does my hair really look like that?" she asked Dan who had stepped behind her.
Dan didn't say a thing and just looked at himself sitting down at the table. Harry, on the other hand, stepped up to Voldemort and gazed intently at him. He was listing to the memory but his eyes never left the face of the Dark Lord.
What followed was a slow dinner that turned out to be a full seven-course meal. "You did that deliberately," Bella said as she stepped next to her sisters that were standing together.
"Yes, I did," Narcissa told her. "You don't think I was just going to show him the address now did you".
"But you are making him watch through a full seven-course".
"Yes, I'm. And it even tasted better thinking about him looking at two muggles eating all seven of them slowly" Narcissa told her little sister with an evil smile.
Bella just shook her head as they all gazed on as plate, after plate, full of food was put in front of them. Emma and Dan were telling Narcissa about the wonder of magic and how they enjoyed being brought into the family of Potter. The moment she said it the face of Voldemort got something that looked like a frown. It didn't take the friends long to realize that it was the line of being in the family that did it. It also told the friends that the four adults had planned the dinner step by step. All of it to get under the skin of Voldemort. As the dinner went on Emma and Dan were putting Harry on a real throne, a throne Voldemort thought he was sitting on. The more Dan and Emma were talking about Harry, the angrier he became.
It was clear that the four of them had done it all to make sure he wasn't really paying to much attention to what was happening around the table. At the end of the Dinner, Voldemort got what he wanted to know. Emma turned to Narcissa as she looked her clearly in the eyes. "You really need to come by sometimes," she said. "Just for a nice cup of tea so we could talk about all kinds of things. You know about magic and the way we do things better".
This was something that made Voldemort madder then he had been before. "The audacity of that Muggle bitch" he screamed. "How dear she think that Muggles are better then we are. We are the superior race" He almost hissed in Paralanguage.
Everyone that had gone into the memory was looking at Voldemort with some kind of fear. Harry knew that it was because of the hissing he did. This had been the first time he heard it speak by someone else and it sounded intimidating, but he could hear the words clearly and he immediately told the others what he had said.
Narcissa had paused the memory when Harry started and almost winced when he told them all to stop being so scared in Parcel tongue like Voldemort had done before. Minerva, Bella just like Daphne and Zanita could hear the words but also the thought about what he said. So Minerva said his words and it became clear that only the sound of Parcel tongue was frightening not the words. Just like many of the languages around the world. It was just another thing that made the Noseless more frightening than he really was.
Narcissa started the memory again and they all turned back to the table. "You know Narcissa, I'm really thankful that my daughter became friends with Harry. He told us he couldn't do much about the risk of trouble but his ward would help us with it. The one thing he told us was that when it was brought down it would warn the Goblins about thirty seconds after it. Then it would only take them a minute to come to us and help us with the once that brought it down".
Again they all turned to Voldemort and could clearly see him thinking about the way he could attack the house. That ward was troubling but not a real problem. It did tell him he could not be part of the attack like he wanted to be. The risk of being seen was something he could not allow, not yet anyway. Lucius had been a pain in the hippogriff's ass, but he did keep him out of sight by the lies he told Fudge about his return. At first, he wanted to join just to be the one who could torture them before he would kill them very slowly. That would be a memory he would then send to Harry just to rub it in. Now he knew he had to send some of his best Death Eaters so they could either get them out to be tortured or to destroy the house with them in it. Then again if they were not in the house the destroying of it would put the fear in the muggles.
"Really Narcissa, that boy does so much for us that we would follow him in everything. But enough of that. Here is my address".
"Emma" Andromeda screamed. "You can give her that". But it was too late. Emma had just handed Narcissa the piece of paper with her address that Narcissa placed in her pocket, one she would give to Voldemort, something she did in that memory so everyone could see it.
It was now that Voldemort had to ask. "Why did you bring Andromeda to the restaurant with you".
"I didn't my Lord," she said with a look on her face that clearly told the others that were watching the memory that it took a lot of force to say it. "I had to take her with me. As you know Potter had brought the blood traitor into his family. Because of that, she is following me everywhere. Potter believes in me but she still thinks I'm spying for you".
This had been the one thing they had asked of her and the adults could see that the friends had been right again. By that statement alone Narcissa had made her more important than Snape could ever be in the order of the phoenix. On the one hand, she had Harry that believed in her completely, while Andromeda did not. It told Voldemort that Narcissa had to stay a spy for a very long time so she could not be with the other Death Eaters when they would attack the house. She had to be with Potter when he would do it, just to keep his spy save".
The dinner came to an end and everybody left the memory. As they all sat down for a drink they heard a soft sorry. Grandmere had been with them and had seen it all. Voldemort was really back and he was preparing for war. The muggles under them were on his hit list just like her daughter would be when they found out she was with them. It also showed her that she had been completely wrong about her thoughts. Sure Narcissa was placing her self in danger every time she did one of these things. But she could also see that the friends were doing a lot to make the danger as small as possible. "I'm sorry for thinking the worst of you all," she told in a near whisper.
End of the memory.
"Don't be?" Harry told her in a caring way. It made her snap her eyes to him but she waited for him to say what he wanted to say. "With the things you have told me it is understandable. I too have this fear of adults hitting me. It even happened with the adults that are around me. Some memories are hard to get rid off and it will influence our daily lives. Some can deal with them better than others but it will still be a problem. Here you see that there are some good people around us even if there aren't many of us left. We have to learn there is another side and we will show it to you and all the other Veela's". He then looked at all the people around them. "We are knot all-knowing we just use the way he did it before. Voldemort has this one thing that tells him he is all mighty. Sure he is stronger than us and he knows more spells but he is also a loner. He thinks so highly of himself that it is easy to use it against him. By making him believe we are playing in his hands he thinks he is all that. Not realizing we are chopping the pedestal he is standing on out from under him. Just like you see here. Andromeda had to do something to stop Emma from telling Narcissa her address. She had to fail but she had to do it in a way that it was clear to Voldemort that she didn't want Narcissa to know it. It made the position as Narcissa as his spy more valuable for him. Making her place safer at our side and him not the wiser. The only thing we have to do now is placing an extra ward around the house that will tell us that Death Eaters are about to strike. In that way, we can send someone to look at it all and place a call to the muggle police making it almost certain that they will destroy the house and not go into it to see if they are there".
"Harry," Narcissa started. "If they do not go into the house, they might think they aren't killed. What would you do then because I'm sure that Voldemort will think I have warned them about the attack".
Harry thought about it but Emma helped him out. "That can be easy, We will make them all think that we have been killed in the fire. Muggle papers will show the story and you could show it to the noseless one. If we can't make him believe it I could come to Potter castle with Dan and throw myself into your arms while I sob and sob as I tell you about the attack. Blaming you that you told him and asking you why and that I thought you were my friend".
That thought alone could work but Narcissa wasn't really happy about it. The lasting she wanted to be is being accused of being a liar to the friends and Emma. "I don't know if I can".
"Write down the address again and drop the paper in your own house. One of the Death Eaters will bring it to him and in that way you didn't lie. If Voldemort should ask you about it you only have to say you have to go to her to keep her thinking you were on our side. You can not be a spy by avoiding us like snape is doing" Susan told her.
"Susan, you are a Hufflepuff, not a Slytherin" Amelia snapped at her.
"Hee, it is their fault," Susan said as she pointed at Harry and Daphne. "They are having the wrong influence on me. They are rubbing off, I can't help it" and Susan folded up her arms as she gave her aunt a pouted look. making them all realize that the story of Narcissa was over.
*#*
It was two days later Grandmere found the friends sitting around the table with a lot of papers around them. She did not know what they were doing but it was clear to her that they were making a lot of plans. She could not keep her curiosity down and had to ask. "What are you all doing".
Hermione looked up as Harry was pointing at a spot on a blueprint. "We are making plans on how to help Bellatrix the moment she gets out of Azkaban. What we got here is a blueprint of an office building. We are planning on putting it under construction. It will be a good cover for the Death Eaters that will be staying there".
Grandmere shook her head at the words. "So it is true, you are really helping the Death Eaters".
Hermione shook her head as Neville pointed at another spot on the blueprint. "I know that it looks like that but that is not it. We are doing the same thing as we did before at the graveyard".
"Graveyard," Grandmere asked.
"OOo that is right you do not know about that one. It is where the noseless one came back. Now I will not tell you the whole story. No Harry that is a window. I think it will be better if we place the cameras in the ventilation system" Hermione said as she gazed at the blueprint before she went back to Grandmere. As Hermione stood she heard Harry mumble {oo yeah} as He and Bella started to explain what a ventilation system was. "Now at the time, we placed a lot of muggle stuff around the place he would come back. Most of it was lost but because we had so much my mum and dad were able to make a complete report from the start to the end with pictures video and sound".
"I have heard about that from Jean, It made a real impression on him. It is something I would like to see if you would allow me".
It was now that Harry looked up. "Grandmere, You are family so you just have to ask. But for that part, you have to come with us tonight. We are going to go to the movies with the whole family, even Bogrod and Harriet will be there. But also with a lot of Goblins".
"How, why".
"Well, we found a Squib that owns a movie theater. He is not making enough money so we are going to help him out. We placed a Floo network under a notice me, not charm. and from this day we will have a movie night at that Place. Normally it would be closed and will only open for us and the Goblin nation".
It was clear to the friend's hat Grandmere didn't get it at all so they assured them she would see it tonight. As her gaze went down to the blueprint it was Hermione who answered the unasked question. "We are making the plans because we have to learn to do it when we take it all over. But before we are going to do this, my dad and the others will have a look at it to see what we have done right and wrong".
"Learning by making mistakes".
"Yes, according to my dad it is the best way. He did the same in his training when he was in the army".
It was now that Grandmere sat down and gazed intently at Harry. "There is more than one reason why I'm here. The main reason is Gabrielle because I can't wait to have my granddaughter back in my arms. The other reason is that the Veela nation asked me to. there has been a lot of talking. There was also a prophecy made A very very long time ago. Apolline knows about it but we asked her to not tell it to you. Not at that point anyway. We now think it has something to do with Gabrielle and also why there is something wrong with our queen. Now I will tell it all but I would like to do it one time and one time only. So If you could get the whole family together, the Family but not Narcissa".
Harry wanted to say something just like Bella but Grandmere stopped them by holding up a hand. "I know that she is part of the family and when she is away from Voldemort you can tell her everything. But not now because it is important to the whole Veela nation. If something would happen and Voldemort would turn on her we might not like the outcome".
Harry and Bella wanted to have a go but were stopped by Susan. "She is right Bella. I trust Narcissa just as much as all of you. But if Voldemort turns on her he will torture her. So if we can keep her in the dark, for now, it will be safer for her".
Both Bella and Harry sat down as they heard Daphne whispering the same thing. "I don't know" Harry whispered back ".
"Let's do it this way then," Daphne told him. "We will see Narcissa tonight. We will tell her that we have some information but it could put her in a lot of danger. It will be information that is very important for us but not for her. We will also tell her that it has nothing to do with her. After it will give her the choice either we tell her now, now or after Bellatrix has been sent back. Because when she is sent back she will also be away from them and it all will be a lot safer for her to know. Now, if we tell her that she can make her own decision about it. Plus the thing we need to know will only become relevant after Bellatrix is sent back".
Harry nodded and knew that it would ease his doubts about it and so he agreed. "Grandmere I would ask the family to meet us tomorrow for lunch. After it, we will have that talk and we will see what Narcissa has decided. But for tonight lets have some fun".
*#*
the next morning found the family all sitting around the breakfast table. The movie they had seen had been snow white. Halfway through the movie, the Goblins started to sing and Harry heard Tonks tell Hermione to not feed them after midnight". Both Hermione and Tonks had laughed but he had to see the Gremlins before he understood what she had meant whit it.
At lunch, all the others had arrived again. Emma and Dan told them they had cleared out their house and refurnished it with second-hand stuff. It was ready for an attack. For now, they would be staying at Potter castle until their home would be ready and that would be in a week or two according to Bogrod. It was at the start of Lunch that Apolline grabbed her baby bump and told everybody that her water had broken. What the friends saw next astonished them. Emma and Isabella took Apolline to the bedroom while Poppy went after them. Grandmere looked at Bogrod and gave a sharp nod. Bogrod left by Port key and Harry knew what was about to happen.
Flashback.
It was the night after the altercation between Harry and Grandmere that Grandmere asked Harry to come with her for a moment. Harry nodded and was immediately followed by Bella and Daphne. Grandmere looked at it and knew that they would do it for a long time. She had messed up the night before and they would keep an eye on her for a long time. One thing was clear. They had forgiven her for her outburst but not for hurting their Harry and that was why they went along. She would not get a second chance to do it again. She wasn't planning to do it ever again but that was something they didn't know. In the hallway, she stopped and turned around. "Harry," she started before she turned to Bella and Daphne. "You too," she told them. "Now I know that you do not discriminate and that your Aunt Pomfrey is the best healer there is. Still, she is not A Veela".
Bella and Daphne wanted to respond but Harry started to nod and told her to go on. "When a Veela Baby is born there could be some complications that she might not be used to like Fire".
Bella and Daphne frowned and she had to smile a little. "You see, just like every child Veela children do have accidental magic just like every child has, Only with a Veela baby they sometimes are surrounded with fire by the hands. So I wanted to ask you if it would be alright if I would bring in a couple of Veela healers to assist her when Apolline goes into labour".
Harry smiled at her and nodded. "Sure, but we already knew some of it because Apolline had told us. We didn't know about the accidental fire but that there could be something different about the birth of a Veela child we knew".
"Thank you," she told them.
"Not at all, but you do have to talk with Bogrod about it. he knows of ways to get them here fast if needed. But I already agreed with Apolline that you could bring them before it if needed that is".
End Flashback.
After Bogrod had left Grandmere walked back to Harry.
This time Bella and Daphne didn't step up next to him. They did keep a sharp look at her, but it did tell her that she was starting to get their trust. "Harry thank you again for allowing me to get the assistance of Veela's healers. Bogrod is getting them now and they will be here in a couple of minutes. Now it can take a couple of hours or a lot more before Gabrielle is born again so I will go to Apolline. would you be a dear and sent them up when they get here".
Harry nodded and saw her rush up the stairs. Bella and Daphne stepped next to him and could see that he was starting to become a bundle of nerves. Come Harry lets us go to the front of the house and wait for Bogrod to return with the Veela Healers. When Gabrielle is born they will call us.
Fifteen minutes after Grandmere had gone after Apolline the Veela healers had arrived and both Emma and Isabella came down to sit with them. The house-elves had placed a table in front of the house and were slowly enlarging it piece by piece as more and more Family members were starting to join them. Apolline had a difficult birth and was screaming her head off against Jean. It was clear that he would be castrated so could never do it to her again. She would put him into a boiling pot of water to cook it off and moor of it.
"Does she know that it was you who did it to her this time?" Daphne said as she looked at Harry.
Harry looked up at the window where Apolline was lying behind and shook his head. I hope not before you three know it you will be married to cooked Boy who lived".
It was a little while later that Bogrod came back and sat next to Harry while he was chuckling. The others all looked up and asked him what was so funny when they heard Apolline screaming that she would cut him off and feed it to Jean so he could feel the taste himself.
Bogrod gazed up at the window and smiled a little. "Glad she is not screaming at you Harry, while you were the one who knocked her up for a second time". Harry just mocked scowled at him as Daphne and Bella were laughing hard just as Tonks was doing.
After another moment Harry had to ask again. "So tell me Bogrod why were you laughing when you walked in".
Bogrod let out another chuckle before he started. "Well you know Harry, we had a wonderful time last night. We are all looking forward to seeing another movie next week. We even had a talk with him to show the movie we saw last night to our kids before we go see another one. It will not only get him out of debt but it will also get him very rich. The best thing was the song. My Goblins have been singing it all day and are working harder then they had before. Not only that but they are making their own words on the song. That is also what happened just before I wanted to follow the Veela healers out of Gringotts when Lucius walked in.
This is what Bogrod heard and saw.
Bogrod was just about to follow the Veela healers when the guards at the door started to sing.
"HEIGH-HO,... HEIGH-HOOOOOOOO.

The next thing Bogrod saw was Lucius running out of the bank.
So you see Harry, He is probably asking himself how to tell it to his lord".
"We definitely have to watch it again at our family Christmas," Tonks said from the ground. It was right then that they heard another scream coming from the window. The thing that sounded from the window made the friends turn a shade they never knew they could.
The next thing they heard was someone getting down from the bedroom. They didn't know who it was but as one they all turned to the doorway. It was a second later that Grandmere stepped through the door as she rushed to the open seat next to Fleur "I will wait here with you all. I do not know what is happening up there but your father is not liking it. It is almost as bad as the first time Gabrielle came to the world. The last time it took twelve hours before she was here".
"That long Grandmere" Fleur asked.
Grandmere nodded "Yes that long. You were a lot faster to come out. It only took you about eleven hours. Your father wasn't even cursed as much as he is now. Come to think about it he wasn't even cursed this much when Gabrielle came around the first time".
"You took about seven hours," Isabella told Daphne as she looked at her.
"And you only took about four," Emma told Hermione as she took her daughter into a hug.
It was now that Harry gazed up at Bella who gazed back at him. This was the one thing they would never hear. Harry could not ask her. because she had told him she had no memories of his birth. And Bella just didn't know who her mother was. Then again her aunt had placed them into the marriage contracts. Narcissa and Andromeda had told her that her mother went along with her aunt so she was just as bad.
As mothers and grandmothers were hugging their daughters and granddaughters. Harry and Bella were starting to walk away. Bogrod wanted to go after them but Harriet stopped him. Let them be for a while. I'm sure Nolwenn can handle it.
Nolwenn had seen the looks and was already walking after them both. She knew that she could do nothing to help them or tell them. It was what it was and even though it was awful, it still was what it was. There was nothing she could say or do at this moment. The only thing she could do was be there if they needed her.
The one thing she didn't know was that Harry and Bella had already seen her walking behind them. After a minute or so they stopped and turned to her making her jump a foot in the air. Harry stepped up and took her in a hug. He was followed by Bella who did the same to both of them. "We know that it is the way it is, we also know that we can't do anything about it. We just walked away to not spoil their fun of thiere mother and daughter bonding".
Nolwenn snorted a little "You to know that I do not believe a word you just told me right. You just had to get away from there and I understand. But we do have to go back. You do not want to hear the joy of Gabrielle getting into the world".
Before she could step away she was stopped by Bella. "How was the first time Gabrielle came into the world," she asked her.
"Well, I wasn't really there when she came into the world. I was in the hallway with Grandmere and a lot of other Veela's. It didn't take as long as it is taking now but I could here Apolline scream from behind the door. Now the moment she came into the world it all became still for a moment before she cried. The smile I then saw on the face of Grandmere and the other Veela's was breathtaking. She brought something into this world and I knew on that day that Gabrielle would be something special. Really special and not only to us but to all and everyone around her. Now I never knew how great she would become but I do know that this will be the time she will do it and all thanks to you Harry. She not only brought us together as friends but most of all as one big family".
Harry smiled at that last part just like Bella did. So with big smiles on their faces, they went back to the castle where that saw the complete family sitting and waiting for the arrival of Gabrielle. Harry sat down next to Daphne when he heard a small cry starting to gain volume as it went on. Harry wanted to jump up but was stopped by his grandmother. ^Wait Harry, They first have to clean her and see if she is okay. After it, Apolline will hold her before Jean will come to get us or show us Gabrielle^.
Harry sat back down but kept his eyes locked on the window where Gabrielle was born. Every minute they waited seemed like an hour in real life. Then It was Jean who opened up the window and asked Grandmere to hurry up and get in there quick and to bring Fleur. The others just looked at it but it was clear that something wasn't right. The way Jean had called them wasn't the way of a happy father but a from a father who was afraid.
Harry wanted to jump up again but was kept in his seat by Minerva who stood behind him. "Wait, Harry, give them a moment Poppy and the Veela Healers are there so everything will be fine".
Harry gave a little nod but he still didn't know what to do. Suddenly there was a ball of fire going from one person to the next. By Nolwenn the ball hovered a little bit but with Harry, it stopped. It just hovered there as Jean and Fleur rushed to him. The Veela healers were right behind them and screamed that Harry had to stop when they saw him bringing his hand to the ball of fire.
One of the Healers didn't stop and went on. She raised her hand and slapped it on the hand of Harry. And hell broke out right at that moment.
A/N This was it again for this week. Hope to see you all in two weeks.
