Chapter Two; The Legend of Zombie Island
Gee thanks guys for all the views, favorites and follows considering that my summary really sucked. LOL! Anyway, as always you're the best and here's the next chapter!
Harry took ahold of his father's hand as they walked through the parking lot together. "You know Harry, I think the new baby will look great in all of those pretty dresses that you picked out for her." Snape said.
"Thanks Daddy, but what's her name going to be? We have to call her something don't we?" he questioned.
"I know son, but your mother and I haven't come up with a name for her yet." Snape explained.
"Can I help?" Harry asked as he glanced up at him.
"Maybe, we'll see." His father told him as they walked through the entrance gate together.
"I'm really going to miss you when you go back to Hogwarts." Harry said.
"I know, and I'm going to miss you and your mother and brother too." His father told him.
"What about Cowboy and Cosmo?" Harry asked him as Snape grinned.
"Cowboy perhaps, but I'm not really much of a cat person." He admitted. "Anyway, you're the oldest so I trust you to be the man of the house while I'm gone and look after your mother and brother for me." He told him. "And then we'll see each other at Halloween. I think that we can convince Mrs. Snyder to let you take a break from charms school then. That reminds me, what do you think of your new teacher?" he asked him as Harry simply shrugged.
"I dunno, she's not you or Mummy." He began. "And she seems a little bit grumpy." He finished.
"Well then it seems that we're two peas in a pod then." His father said.
"You're not grumpy." Harry told him once they got at the end of the ticket line.
"Well yes but that's because I found you. Just wait until Mrs. Snyder has a kid like you in her class. Her life will never be the same again." He told him as he smiled down at his son when all of a sudden Harry heard a familiar voice calling his name.
"Harry! Hey Harry over here!" he cried as Harry quickly turned his head and saw Ron walking through the entrance gate jumping up and down and waving at him. Harry grinned when he saw him walking in his direction with the rest of his family.
"Harry dear," Mrs. Weasley began smiling brightly at him. "it sure is nice to see you again. How's your mother and your little brother Tobey?" she asked him.
"They're both doing just fine. They're both back at home. Tobey's asleep and my mummy is keeping an eye on him." He explained. "Pretty soon I'll be getting a new baby sister too." He added.
"Really?" Ginny asked him eagerly with a grin. "Finally! I'll have another little girl to play with!" she cried.
"Yes but she's going to be several years younger than you." Ron pointed out as the smile immediately vanished off of Ginny's face.
"Oh yeah, right." She said as the line finally started to move.
"Do you want to hang out together once we get our tickets?" Ron asked as Harry looked back up at Snape.
"Can I Daddy?" he asked him as Snape groaned and rolled his eyes.
"Oh, alright." He agreed reluctantly. "But just remember to stay out of trouble." He said as he bought their tickets for them and heaved a heavy sigh. In his mind the Weasleys would always be troublemakers, and nothing that they said or did would convince him otherwise. After all, this was supposed to be his one on one time with Harry before he had to leave for Hogwarts to teach potions again.
He heaved a heavy sad sigh as he watched Harry and Ron run off together. Harry was growing up so fast, and the older he got, the less time that he would want to spend with him.
"Excuse me sir, are you alright?" Snape quickly shook his head and snapped out of his trance before he glanced down at Ginny who was looking up at him with a concerned look on her face.
"I will be, thanks Jenny." He told her.
"You're welcome but my name's Ginny." She corrected as Snape rolled his eyes again.
"Whatever, close enough." He said with a wave of his hand before he walked away and Ginny turned to look over at Bill and Charlie.
"You guys were right, he is a grump." She said.
"Now, now Ginny that's not very nice." Her mother told her.
"But Mummy, you told me that you agreed with them." She pointed out.
"Ah yes, but that was before. I do believe that the man has changed since he married Harry's mother and became his father. The poor man has had a very rough life, and knowing that he'll be leaving his family behind when he goes back to teach isn't making it any better for him." She told him with a shake of her head unaware that Fred and George were already very far ahead of them.
"Fredrick Theodore Weasley and George Lucas Weasley you get back here right now!" she hollered on the top of her lungs while she raised her fist into the air and shook it before she started chasing after them.
Meanwhile Harry and Ron had been walking around the park by themselves. "You know they say that this park is haunted." Ron said.
"Really?" Harry questioned as he turned over to look at him.
"Yeah, supposedly a man fell off the Spirit Coaster and died here." Ron told him as Harry gulped. "And his bones are buried somewhere in the park." He explained as Harry quickly turned his head away from him. The thought of a ghost didn't scare him as much as the idea of falling off the coaster that Harry wanted to go on did. "Oh and I think Fred told me that a bunch of other people died here too, but they turn into zombies and hence that's why it's called Zombie Island." He told him.
"I think I want to go find my father." Harry said anxiously feeling his heart start to speed up against his chest before he ran away.
"Wait, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!" Ron called. "Harry wait! Please come back!" he cried before he gave out a rather large gulp himself. "Please don't leave me behind." He pleaded as the thought of him being alone in the dark frightened him out of his skin.
