Madam Pomfrey had pulled Lily aside and told her what was going on. Lily came back and told the rest.

"Lillian has had a miscarriage" Ron embraced a now crying Hermione, "The pain Harry must be going through. How is Lillian?"

"She is stable but she lost a lot of blood, she will stay here for a couple of days. James you know what to do" Lily said, her hand was on her own abdomen, which was already noticeable and had the students talking.

"There is a problem" Sirius began "The students; they have a cunning way to discover secrets and I think no one missed Harry carrying Lillian and his lion Animagus roaring in the forest".

"That is a problem for another time Sirius" James said.

"No its not James, you are Headmaster now until Lillian gets back, parents will be coming to you for answers when they get wind of this. Those two don't need anymore worries" Sirius replied.

"Sirius is right" Hermione agreed "But we still need to get Harry back, his going to need all our support"

"We will get Harry" James said.

""Right, I will get Harry, Lily you stay here, Lillian is going to need your help when she wakes up"

"What can we do?" Ron asked

"You can come with me" James said, "He will need you"

James transformed into a stag and ran to the forest, Ron and Hermione in tow. James followed Harry's scent but it still took them several minutes to reach him. He was too deep in. They found a detransfigured Harry, sobbing, leaning on a dead tree. His eyes closed. There was blood on his cheek and mud and leaves on his hair and clothes. He looked broken. James detransformed and went to hug his son. Ron and Hermione sat a bit to the side, not wanting to interrupted the father-son moment, Harry leaned into his father's embrace.

"My child…my son… my wife" Harry sobbed. James closed his eyes for a moment, "I know how you feel son. You know…" this was painful for him, the evidence in his voice "Before we had you, your mother and I lost a child too. Your sister; we named her Rose when we fund out, never reached her fourth month in the womb. We were 19 and had been married for two years already, we were excited to be parents, happily in love and wanting to share that love with a baby. Something went wrong and Rose was lost. I thought at first that we would make it, that our marriage wouldn't survive. Your mother went into a deep depression for a few months and I helped her best I could. It took us two years to get back on track and try again and then you came. Lily was ecstatic when you were born, I don't think I'd ever seen her so happy, not even on our wedding day"

Harry was taking in the information, the fact that he lost a sister didn't help his mood, "How did you get over this feeling of loss?"

"We moved on son. Serenity warned us that this could happen"

"I never thought it would be so soon. You were 19, but I'm 17 and I already lost a son, I can't get over that, I will never forget it"

"The fact that I told you just now is proof that I haven't forgotten about Rose either but what I'm trying to tell you is not to dwell on it for so long. Lillian will need a strong support"

Harry listened to his dad but the tears and sadness were still there. After a while the tears ran dry and Harry vowed that it would be the last time they would run at all, he would be strong for Lillian. He got up, James following him and along with Ron and Hermione, who both had their arms around Harry, supporting him without words, walked back to the castle where greater problems were brewing.

Harry walked into the hospital wing's waiting room. Sirius came and gave him a hug and Lupin soon followed. Lily was inside talking to Lillian who had woken up half an hour ago. No doubt telling her the story James told him. When she came out, she went straight to her son and hugged him, planting a kiss on his forehead "She's waiting for you. She thinks it's her fault" Harry was slightly angry at that, how could she think it's her fault. He went inside, she was on the bed he had left her in, still looking pale with her eyes closed, which she opened when she sensed him there.

"Hey" she said quietly

"Hi, how are you feeling?"

"Like I've been run over by a heard of Hippogriffs" Both were silent for a while, "I'm sorry Harry, I lost our son"

"It's not your fault, we can't control this sort of thing, we knew this could happen and we know why it happened. Next time we will know what not to do"

"I'm scared Harry, I don't want to lose another child"

"We will not, I'm here for you. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I told you already why, I feared that if you knew the pain would be worse for the both of us. I figured it would happen privately, during the night and you wouldn't find out. I would never imagine it would happen in a classroom, or so soon. I only found out a few weeks ago"

"How far along were you?"

"Almost three months" she said quietly.

"We will get past this Lillian, together. My parents managed it, so can we"

Lillian smiled faintly and fell asleep. Harry lay down next to her and fell asleep too, not caring about who saw them, the two young adults slipped into unconsciousness in a warm and loving embrace.
