Chapter Two; Watch Out For Mister Stork

Sorry that I'm late AGAIN but my sinuses have been KILLING me these past couple of days and also I was out today for a bit. Anyway, sorry again for the delay. I do this for you guys whenever I'm physically and mentally able to. Only a couple of more days until A Very Hoppy Harry Easter comes out!

"What a terrible day." Aaron began as Harry sat on his bed jotting notes down inside his journal about each dragon that he had been observing from the surveillance camera on the official website right next to his notes about the chapter of Genesis on Noah's Ark by wandlight. "It's thunder storming which means that there's no electricity, which means that we can't have our band rehearsal even if we wanted to." He finished as Harry turned his head and looked outside the window.

"Maybe we should build an ark or something." Rickie suggested as he heaved a heavy sigh and sat down on the bed next to Harry with Kasai sitting down right beside him while he continued staring unblinkingly out the window. "Are you alright Harry?" he questioned before Harry quickly turned his head back around and looked at him.

"I'm sorry, did you say something?" he wondered.

"Still thinking about your little brother and sister?" Rickie asked him back.

"Yeah. It's just that this is going to be the first year that I won't be able to attend their birthday party. I don't want them to be mad at me." He told him.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine!" Ginny reassured him with a wave of her hand before plopping down on the other side of him.

"Oh really? How would you feel if you were about to turn eight years old and your brother was about to miss your birthday party?" he asked her as Ginny glanced up at Ron who was standing beside her holding out his wand so that he could see.

"I'd feel great." Ginny began with a shrug. "I never wanted Ron at any of my birthday parties because he always used to pass gas. It smelled so bad that all of my other party guests were forced to leave the room." She told him while she made a face of disgust as Harry rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry I asked." He told her.

"Look, I'm sure that Teddy and Heather know that you love them regardless whether or not that you make it to their party. So don't be so hard on yourself alright?" Ginny told him before she got up and walked away leaving him alone with his thoughts as he watched her.

Meanwhile Snape had just finished dropping the twins off back home for lunch. "Alright now, on what you on your best behavior for Hermione when she comes back later and listen what your brother and sister tell you to do." He told them.

"Why? Aren't you going to eat lunch with us?" Heather wondered.

"No, I'm sorry princess but I have to get ready for my date." He told her.

"You're going out again!?" Heather exclaimed with incredibility and disbelief.

"But Dad that's totally unfair! So far you've been out on a date every single day this week!" Teddy cried.

"Yeah! And you promised that you would play a game with us!" Heather cried indignantly.

"I'm sorry but I can't right now. I'll play a game with you later alright?" he told her before he bent down and wrapped his arms around both of them tightly and embraced them before planting a kiss on top of each of their heads.

"I love you both and I'll see you later. I'll be back in plenty of time to get ready for the party." He told them before he got back up and went out the door. That's when suddenly Heather heaved a sad sigh.

"Alright, you heard Dad. We're in charge so that means that you have to do exactly what we say." Eve told her.

"It just isn't fair! Dad never has time for us anymore. And it's all because he thinks that we need a new mother." Heather said mockingly with a roll of her eyes while she folded her arms angrily. "Well we're doing just fine just in case he hasn't noticed and I don't think we need a new mother." She said.

"I know, but I'm afraid that there isn't anything that we can do about it." Eve began. "Tell you what, how about after lunch we go take a trip down to the stables. That should cheer you up. That way I can also check on Harmony and see how she's doing." She told her as Heather breathed another deep and heavy sad sigh.

"If you say so." She told her while she turned around and headed into the kitchen to make a sandwich.

….

Hermione and Luna were already standing outside the stables ready to greet Tobey, Eve, and both of the twins after they had arrived inside the parking lot. "Hey Hermione, you and Luna must have already finished work." Eve said.

"Yeah, we just got a text from Jessie that said that Harmony basically could foal any day now and we wanted to be able to see for ourselves." Hermione told her while her face lit up with excitement.

"That's so exciting!" Heather cried. "I can't wait to find out if it's a little colt or filly!" she exclaimed.

"Yeah, I just hope that Harry doesn't miss it." Eve said while breathing a deep and heavy sad sigh making Heather suddenly remember how much she missed him.

"Oh yeah, I forgot." She said as Hermione turned over to look at Luna while she turned her head back over to look at her nervously and anxiously.

"Well do you guys want to go see her?" Luna questioned them eagerly.

'Yeah, sure!" Tobey replied. "Well,.. maybe not see her. But I'd like to pet her if she doesn't mind." He clarified.

"Oh I'm sure she wouldn't she just loves attention." Eve said with a grin before they all hurried around the corner where Jessie was busy looking in on her.

"How is she doing?" Hermione asked her.

"She's doing great." Jessie replied with a grin.

"Tobey would like to go into pet her." Hermione told her.

"Alright c'mon Tobey." Jessie said as she unlatched the door and allowed him to step inside before she made sure it was shut behind him. Harmony snorted softly while the boy slowly approached her face and everybody else on the outside watched him.

"Here, why don't you give her a carrot?" Jessie suggested while she took one out of the bag and handed it to him. "She really likes those." She told him.

"Alright." Tobey said as he held the carrot out flat down inside of the palm of his hand before the horse snatched it up with her teeth and started to eat. "Good girl." He said softly before he reached his hand up and gently stroked her face.
