The Untold Story Of Harry and Ginny
Part 29
"You haven't forgotten it, have you?" Ginny asked and they were up in the air on their brooms.
Harry nodded and said, "I have it."
The two finally reached their destination and got off of their brooms quickly and ran through the doors, down the hall, and into a small room.
They both smiled immensely as they saw Hermione in the hospital bed with a little baby in her arms born on July 14.
"Ginny! Harry!" Hermione exclaimed as George waved for them to come in with a grin on his face.
Harry and Ginny walked forward up to the hospital bed.
"Meet Mr. Fred Gideon Weasley," George introduced his son. Harry and Ginny smiled down at the infant and the infant looked up at them. He stared at them with his deep brown eyes just like his mother's. He quickly turned back to his mum and began to squirm a bit.
"Who has been here so far?" Ginny wondered to the new parents.
"You are the second," Hermione replied. "Molly and Arthur came in an hour ago or so."
"We have something for you," Harry said to Hermione and George. He reached into his jacket and pulled out a blanket that had a bunch of silly, simple spells written all over it. Hermione smiled and took it, then placed it around her son. Her smile grew as he sank into it and his eyelids fluttered to a close.
"He'll probably fall into a complete sleep soon," Hermione answered.
"Oh, than we'll just be on our way," Ginny said, Hermione about to protest, but Ginny just shook her head. Then she hugged her big brother.
"Congratulations," she said to both of them and kissed the top of Hermione's head.
Then, Harry did the same thing, except he gave George a big man-hug.
Afterwards, the two left them alone in the wizarding hospital, and flew up into the air and all the way back to their flat.

More years passed, and Harry was now 24.
Ginny was resting against his chest in their bed up in their room. He was breathing evenly and deeply in a nice rhythm. She smiled as she began to wake up.
"Mmm," she hummed at a soft, warm hand on her bare back moving in a slow circle.
She turned her head a little to see him. His eyes were closed, but he was definitely awake. She just placed her head back on his chest and smiled softly up at him.
Yeah. Last night was a pretty great night.

Ginny was in her bedroom with her eyes tightly shut. Harry walked in and furrowed his eyebrows, looking at his watch that read 14:00. She had been like this for a while: sleeping a lot of the day, sometimes missing her team practices with the Hollyhead Harpies (which he was so proud of her for getting onto), and sometimes arguments broke out between them. Harry did know what was going on, and this worried him.
He didn't want to wake her…but he felt he had to find out what was causing all of this insecurity.
He walked over to the bed and sat down on it gently, trying not to make it move. Then, he took a deep breath and pressed his arm to her shoulder and shook it gently.
"Gin," he whispered. "Gin… Gin?"
She woke up after the third "Gin" and rubbed her eyes briefly, before they came into focus.
"Harry? Oh," she replied and placed her head back on her pillow. "What time is it?"
"14:00," Harry replied.
Ginny's eyes widened and frowned and said, "I'm sorry."
"…Ginny," Harry began. "What's wrong?"
"What do you mean?" was her response.
"I mean all of the sleeping in, missing team practices, and sometimes fighting," he clarified. She sighed and nodded to herself, then sat up.
"Alright," she said. "It's time for an explanation." She looked like she was thinking hard about something.
After she didn't continue, Harry inquired, "What is it?"
"It's just that…" she began. "Well Harry's I found out-well, I…" she took a deep breath and then sighed out. "I'm pregnant, Harry."
Harry's heart skipped a beat as he stared at her with wide eyes.
"…OH MY MERLIN, GINNY, THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, SPECTACULAR THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WHAT'LL THE OTHERS THINK OH, THIS IS GREAT DO YOU KNOW WHICH IT IS: A BOY OR A GIRL-WAIT DON'T TELL ME I LOVE SO YOU MUCH THIS IS JUST TERRIFIC OH I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING OH…MERLIN."
And rapidly after that whole exclamation, Harry fell down onto Ginny and hugged her tightly. Ginny smiled at his reaction and kissed the back of his neck.
"Well I'm glad you took it so well," Ginny muttered. "That's why I didn't tell you - because I was afraid that you'd take it the wrong way."
"I could never take it the wrong way," Harry answered and let go of her, looking into her eyes.
"Well good," she said and smiled, then kissed him softly, he returning it.
*StarStarStar*
After nine months of being called "Big-Belly" by George, Ginny finally needed to go to the hospital. Harry was nervous, and was holding onto Ginny's had the whole time. He did not know what gender it was yet because he told Ginny early on that he wanted to find out the old-fashioned way.
So an hour or two passed since Ginny was in labor, and she had birthed a beautiful baby boy.
"What should we name him?" Harry asked three hours after the birth and after he and Ginny had gotten at least a half-an-hour of shut-eye. The nurse had gone to give them some sleep and time together.
"Hmm…" Ginny hummed and looked down at the baby in her arms. He hadn't moved from that spot ever since she gave birth to him, Ginny finding out that she didn't want to ever let go of him. He fell asleep a little earlier than the two new parents and had been asleep ever since. "Do you have any ideas?"
"Well, we could name it after someone," Harry suggested. "What about someone on your side of the family? Billius?"
Harry smiled, knowing that she'd laugh at that. Then she shook her head.
"…James," Ginny stated after she stopped laughing for the most part. Harry looked up at her and a small smile appeared on his face.
"…I like that," he replied and kissed the top of her head. He was glad he had someone like Ginny to remind and comfort him about the important and sentimental things in his life.
"Me too," Ginny said and looked down at her newly born son. Harry copied her.
"James Sirius Potter," Harry concluded. Ginny nodded, liking the middle name as well and watched as her little boy squirmed a bit, stretched as far as his new body would allow him, and opened his eyes to show them being light brown just like his mother's.
*StarStarStar*
The next day, Hermione and George came into the hospital and gave James a present that was a little quidditch toy broomstick…just like the one Harry had seen seven years ago when he, Hermione, and Ron had escaped to Grimmauld Place. The picture was of his mum, dad, and him as a toddler on a broom being chased around. The picture was ripped, though because Snape had torn off the part of his mother.
"For when he gets older," Hermione explained. Harry hugged her and George and thanked them for the gift.
"Oh, he's adorable," Hermione commented as Ginny handed her baby to her. She held him in her arms and rocked him back and forth a bit.
"Who that, dada?" the just over 2-years-old toddler George was holding hands with asked.
"That's Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny's new baby," George said and picked his son up. Fred faced the new baby and looked at him with wonder, and then smiled.
"He's your new cousin," George told his child, " named James."
"Hi, James," Fred told the little baby barely awake in Hermione's comfortable arms.
"You want to hold him?" Hermione asked her husband.
"No!" Harry and Ginny both said simultaneously. George set chuckled and set Fred down on the ground again, where he hugged his father's leg.
"Come on, guys," George began. "When it comes to little guys like these, I'm serious."
George took James from Hermione's arms (tension immediately filled the room), and then he gasped and pretended to loose his grip, which caused everyone in the room to inhale sharply (with a belayed gasp from Fred who did what everyone else was doing). George laughed and began to sway with the baby in his arms.
"George," Ginny started, "when it comes to 'little guys like these', you're never serious." George shrugged and looked down at Fred.
"Then how'd this come to be so cunning?" George wondered. Ginny rolled her eyes. George then gave James (who got wide-eyed when George pretended to drop him, but then smiled as much as he could) back to Ginny.
"And he liked it," George defended. "He got all wide-eyed and smiley after I did."
Hermione sighed and took Fred's hand and announced, "Well, we should be on our way. I'm so happy for you! Fred, go give Aunt Ginny and Uncle Harry a hug."
Fred obeyed his mother and then returned to her after she kissed and hugged the both of them. Then, all of them left the hospital room.
Almost right after, Ron came in with Parvati. Ron man-hugged Harry tightly and then kissed Ginny's cheek.
"He's amazing," Parvati and Ron said together as Parvati hugged the two of them and as Ron looked don at his new nephew.
Harry nodded and replied, "He is, isn't he."
"What's his name?" Parvati wondered and wrapped her hands around her husband who she married one year ago.
"James," Ginny replied while looking down at her child. "James Sirius Potter."
Ron smiled at the choice of name.
"Well, I have to hurry off to work," Parvati told the three of them. "He's beautiful. Then, she kissed Ron quickly on the cheek and once she was out of the room, she apparated away.
"Hey, Ron," Harry began, "I want to tell you something."
"What is it, mate?" Ron wondered.
"Well, I just wanted you to know…Ginny and I are making you his godfather."
Ginny smiled softly up at Harry and Ron.
"…Really?" Ron questioned. Harry nodded.
"Whoa…thanks, mate," Ron answered and hugged Harry again.
"I have to be on my way, though, too," Ron said after he let go of Harry. "I'm so glad I got to see you."
He began to walk out of the room when he stopped and said, "OH! Wait I have something for you."
And with that, he took out a stick of chocolate wrapped in clear plastic that said, "It's a boy!" and then he scurried out of the door.
Harry and Ginny laughed at this, and Ginny said, "Of course it's food."
