Harry and Tom and their family

Chapter 12

Time went by and slowly Harry's strength came back. Harry and Tom took it slow, they started with moving, sitting up and feeding himself in bed. When he could do that again they worked on changing his clothes, they started with shirts so he could sit in or on their bed and do it. After that it was just plain standing with Tom's help starting with two hands then one hand, and then by himself, (that took awhile).

Next was putting his pants on alone, when they first started Tom held his waist while Harry tried to put them on. Once he could do all that, as nervous as Tom was to start doing this, was walking. Tom put a charm all over their room so that if he started to or did fall he wouldn't hurt himself. Even with him holding onto him, Tom was still worried Harry would hurt himself. The first few times he had Burns sit in their room and watch them while they did it. After a couple of weeks Harry could walk alone but he still had someone there to help him if he was tired.

Before they knew it the only thing missing was talking. Burns said that might be a little hard but he'd be able to do it soon enough. The two of them started with small words like they did with Berwin.

Once he could talk again, parseltongue and english, it was time for the hard part, magic. While Harry was unconscious, Tom had held onto his wand so nothing would happen to it. When Tom gave it back to him, he and Harry were both a little nervous about what would happen. When he had it back in his hand, just like the day he bought it, Harry felt a warmth in his fingers. After he had his wand back, they got started. Since Tom had been giving him some of his magic and abilities, their mixture of powers and everything else Harry had learned and done over the years, it was a lot easier than they thought it would be. Somehow, considering how far along he was in his pregnancy, Harry's power was the same as it was when he isn't.

When Burns came to check on everything a week later, even he didn't know why or how it was like that. He could do everything he already could from his signature curse to the patronus charm perfectly, wandless and non verbal magic, everything!

"I'm not sure My Lords, it's never happened before that I've heard of."

Tom and Harry stared at each other for a second and Burns finished his check up with Harry. When he finished he said everything was fine and that they will be here soon with a smile. After he left the two of them went into their room and tried to figure out how or why Harry's magic was back to normal.

"The only thing I can think of is what happened when I was a baby and what you did for the twins after you hit me with the curse by accident."
