Chapter 2
In the morning Harry awoke to the sounds of Ron snoring loudly in the bed beside him, and a sharp pain in his scar. Harry rubbed his forehead and then slowly got out of bed and dressed. Downstairs he found that mostly everyone was up and then when he looked at the time he understood why. He has slept well passed noon and he felt rather foolish when he walked into the kitchen so dissoriented. Hermine remained visibly pained by the other day's events, though the other's seemed to have recovered.
They were all talking in concerned hushed tones and then stopped adbruptly when they saw that Harry had entered. "Good V'orning 'Arry or should i zay good a'vternoon." Fleur danced towards him and kissed him.
"Oh hello Harry how are you feeling?" says Bill out of the corner.
"Fine thanks" said Harry. He noticed that Ollivander was no where to be seen. "How's Ollivander?"
"Oh worse he's in worse shape now than before," Bill sighed, "I'm afraid we're going to have to move him to St. Mungo's if he's to live. Someone from the order should be coming by either tonight or tomorrow and take him up." Harry felt a sudden pang of guilt, though he let it slip as it wasn't his fault. He floated over to hermione and they started to talk.
"There's a problem," said Hermione. Harry sat down on the couch next to her and she winced."Grip-Griphook isn't going to just give us that sword! He's been very stubborn about it all morning, i've been doing my best to persuade him but it just doesn't seem to get throught to him!" Harry knew this was not good. The only weapon they had agains the Horocruxes was that sword. He had to find someway of getting it away from Griphook.
"Bill, Fluer, open up!! Please it is Remus Lupin! I am a wearwolf and married to Nymphadora Tonks-WHO'S IN CHILD LABOR"
Everyone scrambled to the door and Bill opened it to reveal and very anxiouse and giddy looking Lupin supporting a tierd and laboring Tonks "Vhen did this happin?"
"Fluer! That's not important right now! We need to get ready-Lupin, lay her down on the couch, Harry grab some sicors and a blanket, Ron get some water and HURRY" bellowed Bill
"Vell vell vell" sniggered Fluer "It's seems more happened on that little outing of their's than they let on..."
"FLUER! Would u stop it! Go over there with Hermione and help confort Tonks!"
"Yes, yes..." muttered Fluer
"It's all right Tonks, we're right here, i've just called my mother she's going to be here very very soon, don't worry she can take care of you."
"Ohh please hurry!!" screamed Tonks
"MOVE IT MOVE! OUT OF THE WAY! " Mrs. Weasly came running into the room without anyone stopping her to ask if it truley was Molly Weasly.
"Oh thank goodness ma..." Bill said.
Mrs. Weasly carried through with the birth while everyone else waited upstairs. Bill seemed immensly happy that he was lifted of the chore of being 'in charge' as he was no where near being prepared to help Tonk's deliver a baby. Lupin came up several hours later looking stunned and told them that it was alright for them to come back down stairs.
Downstairs they found Tonk's lying on the sofa holding a small bundle an Mrs. Weasly was fussing over Tonk's.
"Really now dear you've been threw alot in one night, I insist that you get some sleep and everyone else can come and visit with you and dear Ted later when you've got more energy" Mrs. Weasly said "I'm afraid it will push you over the edge!"
"No," Tonk's replied "It's fine really I want them to come down now, I'm fine."
Luna was the first one foward followed by Hermione. Everyone was gathered around one tiny sleeping baby and there was much joy in the air. Harry was tentive to step foward at first, he had never really seen a newborn before and for some strange reason he was nervouse
"Come now Harry," Lupin said "Why, you are the God father you should have some time with Ted"
Tonk's handed the baby to Harry gently, "Don't forget to support his head" she told him. Harry gingerly held the baby in his arms and felt a great sense of hope and purpose. Harry knew this was his purpose. He had to keep going, this was his God son and Harry was going to do everything in his power to make sure that Ted grew up in a safe and loving world. Ted was defeying all the odds. In the middle of a huge and evil war he was bringing hope to those who were fighting. For as Dumbledore had said "Even the smallest light will shine in the darkness" and Ted truley was the smallest light.
