Chapter 5: Back on Track
Ginny warily eyed the potion in the vial pinched between her thumb and forefinger. "You sure this will work?" she asked her husband.
"Positive. Hermione's overseeing the patent application Neville sent in. And if you can't trust Neville, you should at least trust me."
Ginny threw back the potion, downing it like a shot in one gulp. Harry nodded in approval. "We'll have to wait a few hours. Let's test it when Lily wakes up from her nap."
A few hours later, they did just that. Lily latched on right away, just as she always had. But this time... she began to feed!
Ginny squealed. "It's working! It's working! Neville is a genius!"
"I'll tell him you said that!" Harry laughed.
Once Lily had had her fill, Ginny put her over her shoulder and burped her. The little baby nuzzled into Ginny's shoulder. "Mummy..."
Ginny gasped, blue eyes pricking with tears. "Did she just...?" Harry beamed.
There was a WHOOSH of green flame from downstairs, sound of heels on the landing. Then Hermione came in like a whirling dervish. "Did it work?"
Ginny and Harry eagerly nodded. Lily raised a somewhat still-sleepy head at her aunt's entrance. "Auntie..." she murmured.
Hermione giggled. "Very good, Lily! Auntie's so proud of you!"
Ginny turned back to her brother's wife. "Thank you. For everything you've done."
Hermione beamed. "Anything for my sister."
