Chapter 82: A Shadow

Note: Sorry about taking so long, but my internet got shut off so you'll only be getting updates four days a week instead of what I usually do. Sorry again.

The rest of April passed quickly and May started. Hermione was getting more frantic then before because soon she would be having her children. Ginny was also a little nervous about May, but had better control of her emotions.

"Did we get enough nappies?" Hermione asked her husband.

"Your mum is sending a box tomorrow morning adding to the seven thousand that we already have," Remus told her.

"Clothes?"

"Plenty," Remus answered.

"Bottles," Hermione asked.

"Plenty," Remus repeated. "And toys, blankets, baby soap, socks, bibs, one hundred and eight stuff baby animals, and your daughters wedding dress."

She glared at him and Remus smirked.

"Honey, everything will be alright?" he told her, trying to turn her back into the calm Hermione that he had once taught. "Hermione, you need to calm down or we'll have these babies today."

"Calm, I'm way beyond not calm," Hermione said. "How can I be calm when I look as big as the Titanic? The only thing that's missing is the iceberg."

"Well first of all I have no idea what the Titanic was and you look like the Goddess herself."

Hermione slowly sat down, which took a few minutes.

"I'm sorry, Remus, but I'm just so worried," Hermione said. "I have no idea how to be a mother and if Sheek is right, I'm having four of them."

Remus put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"You'll do just fine," he vowed. "Of course, I'm the one that's nervous."

Hermione looked at him.

"How can you be nervous?"

"Because my beautiful wife is giving birth to my children," he told her. "And she's going to be in pain and I can't cast a spell to make it go away."

Hermione gave him the same expression that she had used years ago.

"Thanks for your kind words," Hermione said. "I love you."

Remus stared at her and then smiled.

"I love you too," he said.

"Where are those stupid notes," Harry yelled.

Luna walked in and saw that he had destroyed half the living room.

"There in your trunk," Luna said.

He pushed her out of the way and went into their bedroom. She didn't notice the shadow that fell past him.

When he had left Luna was left with a cold feeling, like when you pass through a ghost. She shivered and then went to see the Headmaster. She hoped that he was available and could have a word with her. To her luck, when she arrived, he was.

"Now, what's wrong, Mrs. Potter?" he asked.

"Something is wrong with Harry," Luna said. "I don't know what, but there is something wrong with him."

She knew that she was breaking her word with Sheek, but she had to tell him everything.

"Did he harm you?"

Luna shook her head, and then said, "I felt this presence, like a ghost. I don't know what it was, but I didn't like it."

"Did you see anything?"

Luna shook her head and then said, "Just the presence."

Eileen turned to her husband.

"We have to watch him," she said.

"I agree," Dumbledore said. "If he's going to become violent, then I would like to know if he's being controlled or this is of his own free will."

Luna became scared.

"I'm going to talk to Hermione about this and see if she can come up with a spell that can help us."

"Do you think she'll help?"

"I know she will."

"So you're saying that something is very wrong with Harry," Hermione said the next morning when Dumbledore visited her.

Dumbledore nodded.

"I think that this might have some kind of link to something else," Dumbledore said. "He wasn't like this before Ron and his father died. I think that it happened after."

Hermione gave this some thought.

"I'll see if I can find out anything," Hermione said. "I'm also going to have a talk with Sheek and Anya. I think that they might be able to help."

"Let's hope so."

Note: Wonder what's wrong with Harry. Next chapter: Severus figures out what to call his son, Voldemort gets picked on by Wormtail, Bellatrix, and Narcissa, and Hermione tries to figure out what's wrong with Harry.
