So I forgot to upload Day 27 yesterday, so here's Day 28 as well to get things back on schedule. I don't own anything pertaining to Harry Potter.

"Henry!" Emma called. "Dinner is ready!"

"One second!" Henry replied. "I'm right in the middle of a chapter." Emma smirked. Who would have known that Henry would love Harry Potter so much that he spent most of his time in his bedroom?

"Is he reading again?" Regina asked. "I don't know why he's so obsessed with it; his life is basically a story like this."

"No it's not," Henry said, coming downstairs. "I don't get to do magic or anything cool like that. Harry does." Regina sighed and went back to dish out dinner.

"You should get her to read it," Henry whispered to Emma. "She'd probably like it."

"When you find a way to make your mom do something, feel free to let me know," Emma said. Henry laughed and went to sit at the dinner table.

Emma walked into the bedroom that she shared with Regina, carrying the first Harry Potter book. "What are you doing?" Regina asked. "I thought you had already read all of the Harry Potter books."

"It's not for me," Emma said. "It's for you." Regina raised an eyebrow at Emma.

"That is a child's book," Regina pointed out. "And I don't know if you've noticed dear, but I lived in a world that had trolls, and dragons, and magic."

"C'mon," Emma pleaded. "Just try it. For me?"

Regina rolled her eyes. "Fine. For you. But if I don't like it, you AND our son have to drop it." Emma smiled and held out her hand with the book in it.

"You better get to it," Emma said. "You have 309 pages to read."

Regina was hooked. As much as she hated to admit it, she actually really liked the Harry Potter book. After finishing the first one, she had secretly snuck into Henry's room and taken the rest of them. If Henry noticed that books were missing, he didn't bring it up.

Regina was almost done with Prisoner of Azkaban and was very upset. How could Peter Pettigrew let Sirius Black go to prison for his mistake? And then let Harry think that Sirius was the bad guy?

Regina knew that Emma was at the station, and decided to text her.

R: What have you done to me?

E: What do you mean?

R: These books! They're ruining my life

E: Books? I thought you only read the first one

R: I may have taken the rest of the series from Henry's room…

E: Yes! Wait. Aren't you at work?

R: Nothing to do but paperwork anyway

E: I've created a monster

R: :p

E: I have to go chase Pongo, but we'll talk about this later

R: This conversation isn't over

Regina sighed as she closed the last book. She couldn't believe that it was over. There was nothing after the last book. What house did Albus get sorted into? What did Teddy end up doing with his life? There were so many unanswered questions!

"Looks like you're all done," Emma said, sitting on the bed next to Regina.

"I can't believe that it's over," Regina sighed. "It's just done. That's it. Nothing more. How could she do this to me?"

Emma laughed. "You and every other Harry Potter reader. Welcome to the world of fantasy writing."

"I hate you," Regina grumbled. "Making me read this series."

Emma kissed her before snatching the book from her. "Don't be upset," Emma said. "She's coming out with another book anyway."

"Really?" Regina asked.

Emma nodded. "You bet. And we'll be one of the first people in line outside of the bookstore to pick it up."

"I'm going to hold you to that," Regina said. Who would have known that she, a "fantasy" character herself, would get so attached to a book character?

Wait. Did that mean that Harry Potter was real too?
