Chapter XLII: The Potters Porcelain

January brought fresh snows to the Potter Estate, as well as morning storms of morning sickness. Luna had however discovered an old spell that made Harry experience the vomiting as well, so Luna was quite alright with the experience.

Luna was coming out of the loo one morning, her long hair tied back in a plait now, and Harry danced in place whilst waiting for her to surrender the toilet to him.

"I left you some paper towels, Love." Luna said, as she grinned at Harry.

"You're so kind."

"Naturally." Luna placed her hands on her stomach and listened to Harry with a voyeuristic pleasure as he moaned in the other room. She sat at the table in the kitchen and stared out the window. Her owl was supposed to be brining her important news today, and she could hardly wait to see the tiny brown owl come soaring in on the horizon.

"A boy or girl…" she took out a pair of socks and began charming them into different shades of blue and pink. "Leighton…" the socks turned a light pink. "Gabriel…" the socks turned navy. "Lyssandra Potter?" the socks turned bright yellow. "Well that didn't work right." Luna tilted her head.

Luna put away her wand and reached for a letter emblazoned with the Hogwarts crest. She pulled out varied reports of how James, Albus and Lily were performing in school. James of course was studying a great deal, and Albus and Lily were maintaining excellent grades.

"Luna, I thought you said there were paper towels in here?" Harry called to her, and Luna danced in her seat.

"Can't hear you dear, must be the pregnancy." Luna wasn't about to let Harry put a bun in her oven and then not have him feel some of the discomfort.

"Knoby?" Harry called out. "Knoby, oh Knoby where are you?"

"Sent him to get some paper towels already, whoops a daisy." Luna almost sang.

Harry's voice trailed off into porcelain, and Luna smiled.

The owl arrived at half past noon, and with it came a light brown envelope.

Luna could barely stop herself from ripping it open, her heart would surely burst. "Harry! Oh Harry!"

Harry came rushing to her, and his eyes reached the envelope, a smile spread across his face. "Well! Open it then? We've been waiting for days now." He placed a kiss on her cheeks.

Luna was trembling, her blood felt like it was moving too slowly in her. "I can't…Harry you do it, I feel like I won't be able to read it."

So she handed the envelope to a flummoxed looking Harry, and he opened it as well as any expecting father could. His eyes scanned it, and Luna watched on eagerly.

"Well? Out with it, please Harry, you're killing me!"

His lips parted, and his eyes shone like the morning sun.

"Luna," he placed his arms around her in a rib cracking hug. "We're going to have a baby girl." he whispered in her ear, as they danced in the kitchen. They went uninterrupted, even after Knoby came home with a fresh roll of paper towels. Knoby danced slowly apart from them, and Luna smiled at the House Elf, mouthing "it's a girl, it's a girl."
