Ron and Hermione walked hand in hand through the park together. "I sure hope that Harry's alright. Maybe Ginny will be able to find out what's wrong with him." Ron said.

"I sure hope so. I'm really worried about him." Hermione told him when suddenly they ran into Neville and Luna and stopped right in front of each other.

"Oh hullo Ron, hullo Hermione." Luna began with a grin. "It sure is nice to see you. Welcome back." She told them.

"Thanks Luna, it's good to see you too." Hermione said smiling sadly at her.

"Where's Harry? I would think that since it's after the time that he works that he would be with you." She said.

"Uh no. He hasn't been feeling too good." Hermione told him.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Well I hope he feels better. See you later." Luna said giving them a slight wave before she and Neville walked away inside another direction.

"Yeah, see you." Ron told her before he and Hermione continued on their way.

…

Harry walked up to the front desk and grabbed ahold of the quill before he signed his name. As soon as he was finished he turned around to see Aaron standing there behind him holding onto Danny's car seat by the handle. As usual the baby boy had fallen fast asleep with a tiny blue pacifier inside his mouth. "Aaron? What are you doing here?" he questioned him.

"Oh Danny hasn't been feeling too well lately. He's been having a runny nose and a bit of diarrhea. He's also been coughing and has a bit of a fever so I'm going to have a healer check him out. I hear that you have been feeling a little under the weather too." He said.

"Yeah I've been coughing too and I've got a high temperature and a pounding headache." Harry explained while rubbing his scar. "Not to mention that my scar has been throbbing." He said as Aaron's face turned as pale and as white as a ghost.

"Really?" he whispered. "Do you think that it's a sign?" he wondered.

"I'm not sure, but I'm sure that Ginny can tell me the truth." Harry told him.

"No offense Harry but Ginny's your girlfriend." Aaron began with a grin. "She's liable to tell you that the proper treatment for you is to spend some time alone in a hot tub together." He told him as Harry grinned back at him.

"I don't think she will. Listen Aaron, as soon as I find out what this is I was wondering if you could do me a favor." He said while Aaron continued to grin at him.

"Yeah, sure. What's up?" he wondered.

"Well, as you know Ron and Hermione and my father brother and sister are back home. I wanted to do something nice for them to welcome them back. I was thinking that I could throw them a surprise party, you know like they did for me on my birthday last year." Harry told him while coughing inside his hand.

"Yeah, sure Harry. I think that sounds like a great idea." Aaron told him as he started heading towards the waiting room.

"Good. I'll send out the invitations as soon as I can!" he called to him.

"Alright, I'll be praying for you mate!" Aaron called back to him over his shoulder as Harry thanked him and then he set the car seat down beside him before he took the quill and wrote down "Daniel Parker" on the sign in form. Then he bent down and picked up the car seat again and carried it into the waiting room while Danny continued to sleep.

He sat down next to Harry and placed the car seat in front of his feet. "So does he still have his appetite?" Harry asked him.

"A little bit, but he hasn't been eating all that well for the last few days. He's been sleeping pretty good though. Or at least during the day. Since he's been having diarrhea, he's been keeping me and Brittany up through most of the night." He explained when suddenly the baby started waking up and making some fussy noises. "Uh oh, I think he's about to have another messy." He said. Danny coughed and slowly started moving his little arms around while he continued to fuss and then started to cry louder.

Aaron wrinkled his nose while he bent down and unstrapped the tiny infant from his seat before hoisting him up inside his arms and adjusted his pacifier while he hushed him and gently kissed the top of his head. "It's alright son, Daddy's going to get you a fresh nappy on." He told him while patting his bottom and then started carrying him away. That's when Ginny stepped out into the hallway wearing her healer uniform. "Harry," she began while she called him over to her with a wave of her hand. Harry then followed her back inside the examination room.

"So what seems to be the problem?" she asked him while he sat down inside the chair and she shut the door behind her.

"If I knew the answer to that, I wouldn't be here right now." Harry said while gritting his teeth and breathing through them at the same time he rubbed his scar.

"Harry, I'm really starting to get concerned about you. What if these are side effects to that potion that you drank?" she questioned him.

"That can't be the problem. Otherwise Ron would be sick." Ginny said.

"I still have a feeling that Voldemort isn't really gone after all like we thought." Harry told her.

"Well, if that's the case, then why are you still being affected by it?" she wondered. "I thought that Voldemort destroyed the part of him that lived inside of you a few years ago." She said.

"Yeah, so did I." Harry began. "But apparently I was wrong." He told her while gritting his teeth again and shrieking in pain while he continued to rub his scar. Then Ginny told him to tell her his other symptoms so that she could check him out.

Meanwhile Eve had been visiting Lightning Bolt inside his stall and talking to him inside a soft and soothing comforting voice. "I know boy, you miss Harry don't you?" she questioned him while gently stroking his face and gazing up inside his beautiful brown eyes. The horse snorted while she continued to stroke him and speak to him. "Don't worry, he'll be back. You shouldn't worry about him so much, after all Harmony's a crossed the aisle from you and she might sense it. I don't want anything upsetting her or the foal and I'm sure that you don't either." She told him.

That's when suddenly Jerry walked around the corner followed by Rose and her daughter Carole. "See darling? Look at all the pretty horsies." She said pointing out Harmony while she stood in front of her stall before adjusting her grip on her daughter who mimicked her and pointed at her too.

"Ba!" she cried as Rose giggled and kissed the top of her head while Jerry went to go peek in on Eve.

"Hey, you're back." He began. "It's great to see you. Ron and Hermione said that you would probably be here." He said as she took a deep breath and sighed sadly.

"Yeah, Harry's not doing so good. I think he's coming down with something." Eve told him.

"Yeah that's what Hermione was saying. Maybe he has the flu or something. Or is it that wizards don't get stuff like that." He said.

"Oh no, they can, it's just that the flu is usually a seasonal thing." She explained.

"Well, I hope he gets better." He told her.

"Thanks me too." She said.

"Say, I have an idea. It's Friday and I don't have any homework or projects to do so would you like to go for a trail ride?" he questioned her but she just simply grinned at him.

"I've got a better idea." She said.
