Birthday and Appointments

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you," I sing to Harry on the morning of July the thirty-first. "Happy birthday dear Harry, happy birthday to you."

"Ugh," was what I got in return.

"Get up you lazy bag of Dragon dung! It's your birthday and you are going to celebrate it even if I have to hex you out of bed." I reached, with some difficulty, over to the edge of the blanket and ripped it off of him. "Get up! Or you can eat cold breakfast!"

He groaned, "Do I have to get up?"

"Yes, you have your apperation test in an hour. Then you have your exams. And you have a letter. Get your butt out of bed or I'll drag it out!" I said. "Aguamenti!"

"Ahhh!" Harry shouted as the cold water hit him, "That was cruel."

"It was, wasn't it? Get up, we have many things to do today." I told him walking out of the room.

Ten minutes later, a sleepy Harry was eating his breakfast at the table muttering about annoying girls.

"You know, talking to your self is one of the first signs of insanity." I told him stifling a laugh. "Here's your letter, it's from Mrs Weasley."

"Happy birthday. Your birthday brunch is at ten, don't me late." He muttered and put more eggs in his mouth.

"Are you going?" I asked.

"No. Can we just go to the ministry?" He asked.

"Aren't you missing something?" I asked back, eyeing his shirtless chest.

"Hmm?" He questioned.

"Look down."

"Oh," He said then left the room in search of a shirt.

With fifteen minutes to spare, Harry and I walked into the Ministry of Magic. I led him to the sixth level where the apperation tests are.

"You'll do fine. Concentrate, remember to concentrate. Good luck." I said shoving him into the room.

Half an hour later a grinning Harry came out. "You pass? Or are you just in shock that they failed you?" I laughed.

"I passed," he said indignantly, then looked at my stomach, "You're proud of me, right, Lilia?"

I laughed, "Apparently so, she's really kicking."

"Oh, you better stop, I don't want to have to deal with your mommy when she's angry." Harry laughed.

"Ha ha very funny. Now you have exams to do and I have an appointment at Mungo's. I'll see you later." I gave him a light kiss on the cheek then went to the floo places in the Atrium. Stepping into a fire place, I said very clearly, "Saint Mungo's!"

In a swirl of green flames I was sucked from the ministry of magic, to the lobby of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. By passing the reception line I made my way to the maternity ward.

I arrived just as the Healer said, "Allen, Tabitha."

"Hi," I said to the Healer that was sitting beside the bed. I walked over to the bed and sat down.

"Hello dear, I'll need you to not hide your baby bump." Margaret Jennings, my Healer, said.

I concentrated on going into my natural from and in a minute I looked like a nine-month pregnant woman. I laid back on the bed knowing that the request was coming.

The appointment was the same as usual, she did a few spells, asked if I wanted to know the sex of the baby, I said no. Then I hid my very large bump, and made my way back to the floo-places and floo-ed back to the ministry to wait for Harry.

REVIEW?? please!!!!!!!!!!!
