I just want to thank you all for you immense support, especially GingerHannah who has reviewed almost every chapter of both stories. Thank you so much. Okay so this is officially my longest chapter out of the two stories and I am really please with how well this has turned out. I am writing a new story in the P.O.V of one of Sophie's friends and I would like you all to check it out. There will be a chapter about Ron and Viktor so look out for that too.
I would also like for you all to review or send me a PM with what name you want Ron and Viktor's little girl to be called. It will be announced in Chapter 11. If no one gives me a name they want I will choose one. BTW – The baby's surname will either be Krum or Krum-Weasley. So if you want to help choose that too you are more that welcome.
Chapter 6 – Ron's P.O.V
I woke up the next morning and had to run to the en-suite and even though I barely ate anything yesterday, loads still came up. I am so tired too and even though I don't particularly care, I can't remember what day of the week it is, never mind the date. I'll just ask Sophie when I see her later.
It is Sunday, 9th August and Madame Pomfrey should be here soon, I really want to know how my little girl is getting on. Mum told me what date it is though not Sophie.
I did see Sophie earlier but I couldn't ask her anything or even talk to her because her mouth was a bit occupied. What was she doing? I hear you asking, do you really want to know? Yes, you do. Okay then, Sophie was too busy snogging my older brother, Charlie. I mean, yeah they do go out and that but I don't want to have to see it cos you know. Charlie is my brother and I don't want to know about his love life even though it concerns my best friend.
When Madame Pomfrey arrived we went into the bedroom that Viktor and I are sharing, so that we couldn't be interrupted as easily.
"How have you been feeling lately, Weasley?" She asked.
"Well, my morning sickness has just been getting worse and worse. I can't eat anything because I just throw it up again straight away. In a morning I just vomit even when there is nothing in my stomach." I replied I managed to bite back my thoughts 'I have been feeling like shit, how the fuck else am I gonna feel?' Viktor was holding my hand because he could tell how volatile I am at the moment.
"Shall we see how your little girl is doing?" Madame Pomfrey asked.
"Would be nice." I replied, I was amazed at how calm I sounded because this woman is really trying my patience.
"Right, Viktor, Ron. This here is your baby." Madame Pomfrey said, pointing to the image that appeared when she cast the spell, a special pregnancy spell. (A/N: It does the same thing as an ultrasound machine except you can't print copies of the baby. That is done by taking a photo of the image that the spell presents and because it's a wizard photo, you can see the baby moving too.)
She really does look like a baby now, then again I am 8 months along. Doesn't time fly! I can still remember the little blob that she used to be. I also have a photo of her then too.
"Everything is good, your baby girl is doing well so you have nothing to worry about. Ron, I will give you some anti-nausea potion when it is available because I don't have any at the moment." She finished and then left.
"Hey Ron, how's baby?" Sophie asked when I saw her next. Thankfully, Charlie wasn't there.
"Absolutely fine which means that everything is good, only downside is how much worse my morning sickness has gotten." I replied.
"I think that Siri has some anti-nausea potion left. Do you want me to ask?" she suggested.
"Can you? That would be a great help because Madame Pomfrey said she hasn't got any at the moment." I knew there was a reason that this girl is my best friend.
"By the time that Madame Pomfrey got hold of some you baby will be due, won't it?" Sophie asked.
"Yeah, why?" I'm confused.
"Well, you won't need it after the baby is born and she gets all her potions from Professor Snape and because it's the holidays he isn't working. The earliest you would get the potion from her would be the last week of August." She explained. I am honestly in total awe of this girl's mind, to have all that knowledge of all the things that she does. I swear, Sophie knows everything!
"We haven't seen a lot of each other lately." I mentioned.
"I know, we need to catch up with everything." She replied, then she got a look on her face. I could almost see the light bulb go off above her head, I really enjoy having intelligent friends. "Tell you what. If your mum allows it, you can come to the park across the road with me later. I took Steffi with me yesterday and it seemed to fascinate her little brain." Sophie suggested. Personally, I think is sounds like a great idea so I agreed. It has been much too long since the last time I was outside in a public place.
I was lying on my bed, reading a book for this Transfiguration homework that we have to do. Sophie doesn't have to do it, neither does Harry but only because they were involved in the Tri-Wizard Tournament and almost died.
At 14:04 (4 minutes past 2 in the afternoon) there was a knock at the door. "Come In!" I called and Sophie casually walked in. "Here is some anti-nausea potion." She said, placing a couple of bottles on the bedside table. "Sorry it's not much but it's all we have left. Unless I ask James if he can spare a few." I think that the last sentence was her thinking out loud. "Also, I asked Molly if you could come with me to the park and she said that it's fine as long as there is an adult there too, so Uncle Sev will be joining us." She finished.
"Snape! Why him of all people?!" I exclaimed
"Oh, chill your tits Ron. He won't try and pry into our lives if that what you are worried about, he is there to look after Steffi. You have probably forgotten but he and James are expecting a child and he would like some experience looking after a small child, because Steffi is only 3 months old she is absolutely perfect to help Uncle Sev learn. He did help Remus look after me when Sirius had been sent to Azkaban." Sophie replied, I think she is trying to reassure me that it's okay for him to be there. Well, it worked. Sophie is a genius.
"When do we leave?" I asked with a smile.
We arrived at the park around 14:30 (Half Past 2 in the afternoon) and headed for the swings. Severus (as he insisted that I call him that when we are not on school grounds) has taken Steffi over to a bench, he is sat on it and she is still in her pushchair because she is too young to do much else. Severus seems to be pointing at shapes in the clouds because that is what Sophie does and as Sophie said 'It fascinates her little brain'
"I saw you and Charlie snogging earlier." I admitted. At least Sophie had the decency to blush and not shrug it off, it shows you that even though she acts as though she is all confident and nothing bothers her because she doesn't care what others think, that she is just like the rest of us.
"You are not the first member of your family to do that, actually." Sophie laughed.
"Why, who else has?" I asked, intrigued.
"Ginny, Bill and your mum." She replied honestly.
"My mum?" I asked. "Was that awkward?"
"A little but enough about me. Tell me about your little princess." Sophie inquired, I can tell that she is desperately trying to change the subject.
"Well, she is due on 12th September, she is nice and healthy." I replied, unable to think of anything else to say.
"Your daughter will not be born on time, she will be 2 weeks early." Sophie advised. You see, Sophie is a little bit psychic and can see the future. She can control it and doesn't like looking into the future but I know she has done this just to try and make my life easier.
"Were you, Teddy and Steffi born on time?" I questioned.
"Teddy was on time. He was due to be born at the end of April and he was born on April, 30th."
"And Steffi?"
"Steffi was 4 days late, supposed to be born on May, 6th but obviously born on May, 10th." Sophie continued.
"What about you then?"
"I was the most difficult out of the three of us." She began ... "I was supposed to be born at the start of December but instead I was born at the start of October making me 2 months early. Sirius was in labour for 3 days and then I was born around 4 in the morning on Monday, 4th October." She concluded. "It almost killed Sirius having me." She added, she seemed quite upset about that too. Since Sirius has returned from Azkaban, he and Sophie have become very close. Probably because of their personality's. Sophie definitely takes after Sirius in the personality and attitude department but she so looks like Remus.
When it got to about 15:45 (Quarter to 4 in the afternoon) Sophie jumped off the swing and walked over to Steffi and Severus. "About time to go back to the house, I think." Severus sighed. You could tell just by looking at him that he had spent enough time outside looking after Steffi.
As we set off back to Grimmauld Place, Steffi started to cry. Sophie picked her up out of the push chair and began singing to her, I am unsure exactly what she sang but it was probably a lullaby.
When we reached the house, Sophie gave her sister (Who had fallen asleep) to Remus and Sirius straight away and then began to walk upstairs, motioning for me to follow. I didn't know where we were going and then we entered the library to find Charlie, Viktor, Teddy and Cedric all sat reading something, Sophie probably came up here because she used her wolfie senses to detect Charlie and found the scents of the other 3 as well.
"Hello." Teddy greeted, looking up from his book.
"How was the park?" Cedric asked. I chose this moment to go and sit on Viktor's lap. Sophie went and sat at the end of the sofa that Charlie was spread out on.
"The park was good." I replied.
"We were able to catch up with each other." Sophie added.
"That's nice." Charlie murmured, without looking up from the book he was reading.
"What was that song thing that you sang to get Steffi to sleep when she was crying?" I asked. This got Charlie's attention, he loves hearing Sophie sing mainly because she is so good at it.
"A Welsh lullaby that Remus used to sing to me when I was younger and couldn't sleep. He changed the words a bit because it originally said mum or mother in it and he isn't a woman. I have only ever sung his version though because it is special to me." She responded as Charlie pulled her over to sit on his lap. Before Viktor and I became an item this would have made me think 'ugh, couples.' But now it doesn't bother me, strange that isn't it?
I drank some of the anti-nausea potion before tea so I was able to eat something and keep it down even though it was only a slice of toast. I stayed up with Viktor tonight but mum shooed us off to bed at 11pm. I curled up in his arms just like I did last night, I suppose you could compare it to a cat. You know when they just curl up somewhere comfortable and go to sleep.
I could hear Sophie singing that Welsh lullaby to her sister again except this time I was able to make out the words and I fell asleep listening to her voice.
'Huna blentyn ar fy mynwes
Clyd a chynnes ydyw hon;
Breichiau tad sy'n dynn amdanat,
Cariad tad sy dan fy mron;
Ni chaiff dim amharu'th gyntun,
Ni wna undyn â thi gam;
Huna'n dawel, annwyl blentyn,
Huna'n fwyn ar fron dy fam.
Huna'n dawel, heno, huna,
Huna'n fwyn, y tlws ei lun;
Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu,
Gwenu'n dirion yn dy hun?
Ai angylion fry sy'n gwenu,
Arnat ti yn gwenu'n llon,
Tithau'n gwenu'n ôl dan huno,
Huno'n dawel ar fy mron?
Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen
Gura, gura ar y ddôr;
Paid ag ofni, ton fach unig
Sua, sua ar lan y môr;
Huna blentyn, nid oes yma
Ddim i roddi iti fraw;
Gwena'n dawel yn fy mynwes
Ar yr engyl gwynion draw'
I got this song from google, I just searched 'Welsh Lullabies' It is called Suo Gân. Again, please help me choose a name for the baby, thanks for everything. This chapter is 3,000 words long.
