Wow look at this, I've updated after so long. Hope nobody's left my fanfiction and will never come back. I had originally stopped hopping to get up to a hundred reviews, then homework piled up, then I went into a play, which made me work my butt of during some odd testing week because performance was soon. After that was over finals came up then I got summer work and ff.net went down for a while. On top of it all I'm preparing for the WASL [I don't pass it I don't pass my grade and I have to repeat it] and the PSAT. Well thanks for the reviews, love em. On to the story.

Chapter Six

Harry's jaw dropped open while Dumbledore chuckled, his crystal blue eyes twinkling happily. "She, she called me dad."

"Yes I believe she did, didn't she Harry," Dumbledore responded. 'This was exactly how James had acted when Harry had said the same thing' he mused. "Why don't you show her off to your friends Harry, I'm sure they'd love her."

Harry nodded and walked out of his office and headed to the common room, not bothering to hide her. When he walked in, all eyes were on him when he walked over to where his friends were sitting Ron blurted out "What's that?" and Hermione smacked him upside the head.

"It's a baby nitwit." She responded rolling her eyes.

"Well I knew that." He yelled back.

"Sure didn't sound like it."

Alicia quickly interrupted what Ron was going to say next "What everyone wants to know is why you have a baby?"

"Ooooh did Harry-kins get lucky and end up saddled with responsibility?' George teased causing Harry to blush while some of the guys hooted and girls giggled while glaring at him.

"That's possible IF Harry had been interested in girls that way when he was a little over twelve years old," Harry's blush deepened from embarrassment from all the sly looks he was getting from all the guys. "Which I'm pretty sure he wasn't." She added almost as an afterthought.

Ginny had walked over to Harry and poked Athena's stomach and watched her giggle and laugh. The room was filled with 'awws' and Harry smiled. Harry handed Athena over to Ginny who had begun playing with her while she was in Harry's arms and she smiled. It was obvious that Ginny had a knack with children, being the youngest of the Weasley's it was not a shock, she got to see her mum treat her brothers all the time and learned from her observations.

The baby had been passed around and as soon as she was set in Ron's arms, who looked terrified at the smallness of her, she reached over to Harry saying 'Dada' causing another round of 'awws' in the room.

After a while Harry went upstairs to put Athena to bed. When he got back down into the common room only the quidditch team, his year mates and Ginny were left. Most likely waiting for him to give them an explanation. "Before you ask, I've had her since the summer and I found her near a dumpster."

He explained the situation to them and answered many questions before they all went to bed. A smile of content on his face, he didn't have anything to worry about now, his friends were on his side and knew everything.

Sitting up straight in his bed a thought raced through his mind 'What about Voldemort.' He'd know about her soon enough then he'd be after her because she was linked to him. She was his and Voldemort would have more than enough time to get to her. Standing up he walked over to where she was asleep at and watched her for a moment before sighing and returning to bed.

Closing his eyes he went to sleep. His dreams troubled and full of all his worries.

AN: Sorry it's short but I thought you'd want this out as soon as possible. Anyone have any thoughts? What do YOU want to happen next, hey maybe I'll be able to flip it in somewhere. Note to all. I do not do Harry/Hermione fics. I think Ron and Hermione fit much better and Harry fits better with.. Well with other people who are not Hermione.
