Chapter 5- It's going down
After the lunch in the Great Hall the soon to be Potter family walked to the Gryffindor tower. Ron was chasing Nate as they were playing a game of tag. Once they made it up to the tower, Ginny Weasley was signing her name on the quidditch sign up. Harry looked over at Hermione and Hermione nodded.
"Nate do you want Ron and I too show you the bedrooms we used to stay in?" Hermione said getting down to Nate's level. Nodding his head he ran over to one of the stair cases with Hermione and Ron following.
Harry walked over to Ginny slowly trying not to back out of talking to her, summoning all his Gryffindor courage he finally made it to the sign up sheet.
"Looks like we are going to have the same team we did in my 6th year." Harry said trying to break the ice.
"Well with you being our captain we will win every game." Ginny said flipping her hair while turning to look at Harry. Ginny looked the same as she did the last time he saw her. Athletic built with her long straight red hair flowing down her back. She was pretty but just no longer Harry's type. "So now that you came back to your senses, I think that we should get back together."
"That's not going to happen Ginny. I don't love you anymore. I stopped loving you the day you told me no to running away with me." Harry said crossing his arms.
Looking like a sad little puppy, or at least trying too, Ginny said "Well of course I didn't want to run away. Everyone here needed you, I needed you. You are the savior of the wizarding world. We would have been rich and famous if you stayed. But no, instead of being the Gryffindor that you are, you ran away like a Slytherin."
"If you knew me at all you would have understood why I wanted to leave. I didn't care about become rich and famous. Hell I'm already rich because I lost my parents when I was a baby, then my Godfather when I was 15! I needed to leave here. But you never understood that. All you cared about was the money and the publicity of being my girlfriend. And who cares about how Gryffindor and Slytherin I was. I did what I needed to do. You didn't understand that, but Hermione did." Harry said slowly reaching down to his pocket to make sure that he could get to his wand.
Pulling out her wand, she pointed it at Harry. "Why do you always need to compare me to that bitch? She will never love you the way I have loved you since I was 10 years old. No one else would worship the ground that you walk on better then me! Leave Hermione and that little bastard!"
"Leave my son and Hermione out of this. They are my family. You didn't even want to have a family. It would have ruined your quidditch figure or whatever. If you really loved me you would have known that having a family, my own family, would be exactly what I wanted. Don't you see Ginny, you are not what I want. You never will be what I want. I want someone who will love me for me. Not my celebrity, but Harry. And that is what I have with Hermione and Nate."
Shaking her head. "No I don't believe that is what you want! I am what you want! All that you would ever need. Everyone said so!" Raising her wand up even further she casted her Bat-Bogey Hex. Instead of the hex hitting Harry it turned around and hit Ginny. Harry looked around for the reason that could have happened as he didn't pull his want out in time. He noticed Hermione and Ron staring at Nate in shock. Nate saw his dad looking at him and ran over.
Picking him up Harry looked at his son. "Hey I'm okay. Do you know what happened?"
"That mean lady was going to hurt you so I hurt her first. I didn't mean to do it. I just thought about it and then it happened!" Nate said hiding his face his Harry's shoulder. Looking over at Hermione "Our son just had his first accidental magic. We are going to have to do the talk." Nodding her head the Potter family said bye to Ron and walked out of the common room. They walked towards the room that they would be staying in. Sitting down on the couch Harry turned Nate side ways so he could look at both Harry and Hermione.
"Nate you know how mummy and daddy are magical?" Hermione said while watching Nate nod his head. "Well what you just did was magic. Since you are so little you don't know how to control it. You are a wizard just like daddy. And when you get older you will get to go to school that you help you learn how to control your magic. Doesn't that sound fun?"
Nodding his head some more "Yeah that does sound fun. So I'm a wizard? Do I get a cool stick to wave around?"
Laughing softly Harry said. "Yes you get a wand. I don't know what age you'll get yours at in Chicago. But here in London we got ours at 11 right before we started school. You'll get to learn all sorts of cool spells."
"But how did I do it to the lady without a wand?" Nate confused.
Hermione pushed his hair out of his face while saying. "Well since you are so young and don't have a wand, whenever you think of doing something your magic just does it. So you will just have to be as careful as you can be. But don't worry your dad and I won't get mad at you when you do accidental magic. Unless you do it on purpose. And trust me we will know the difference."
"Okay mommy, I promise I won't do it on purpose." Nate said snuggling into Harry.
"Why don't you and mum go take a nap. I have to meet with the team." Harry said carefully handing Nate to Hermione. "Sleep good you two." Kissing them both on the top of the head he walked out of their room.
As he was walking back to the Gryffindor common room Neville caught up to him. "I heard your son performed accidental magic on Ginny."
Nodding his head "Yes he did. I'm sure Ron told everyone as fast as he could."
"He told Draco, who then just made the announcement to everyone right then and there using the amplifying charm. You should have seen Mrs. Weasley's face. I don't think I have ever seen her so red. I would watch out for her. You never know what she will do."
"I'll be prepared. It's not like I haven't dealt with Mrs. Weasley before." Harry said shuddering as they walked into the common room. Looking around he noticed that everyone was there, except for Ginny. "So is the team all here then?"
Everyone nodded their heads and they began talking about the strategies they will be using for the games.
