The Girl Who Healed

January 14, 2004

"Can anyone tell what charm we use to ward off a dementor?" Harry Potter asked his class. 

Hesitantly several hands floated into the air. 

"Hallie, why don't you tell us?" Harry said pointing to a very flamboyant Ravenclaw that sat in the back of the room with her friends. 

"The Patronus Charm," She answered as she lowered her hand. 

"Brilliant!" Harry grinned. 

A large lioness Patronus appeared before Harry. 

"Harry," came his wife's voice through the mouth of the Patronus. She sounded like she was in pain. "I've got a Code Watermelon."

Harry's eyes widened. 

Minerva walked through the door. 

"Go, Harry," She said. "I'll manage your last two classes."

"Thanks, Minerva!" Harry said before rushing out into the hallway to apparate away.

When he arrived in the living room of Potter Manor that was beautifully furnished and decorated by his wife, he found his wife leaning up against the wall with her face scrunched up in pain. He immediately rushed to her side. 

"Are you alright?" Harry asked urgently. 

"I'm wonderful!" Nova said sarcastically with a groan. "I was just trying to eat my damn sandwich and BAM! The watermelons decide they want to be birthed today!"

"Should we slap him or something?" Regulus asked as he looked at his brother that lay unconscious on the ground. 

"Nah," Alex said as they looked at their dramatic boyfriend. "He'll faint again at the mere mention of birth."

"Honestly, you'd think after being the one with Lily when she went into labor he'd be alright," Remus rolled his eyes. "Not to mention when Nova was born."

"How'd that even work?" 

"Basically when her body was fully developed and ready the doctor sent a Patronus," Remus stated. "They couldn't take her out too soon and they couldn't take her out too late or else she'd die."

"That's not stressful at all," Marlene muttered sarcastically. 

"Try to relax," Harry said. Nova opened her mouth to say something snarky and sarcastic but he talked over her. "Deep breaths. In two three, out two three."

Nova began with deep breaths when Ron and Hermione barged in. 

"We're here!" Ron shouted. "Binky told us Operation Watermelon was in motion."

"No, bitch! Theo yelled. "We were here first!"

Ron, Hermione, Blaise, and Theo were all competing for the godparent position. This means everything they did for the past six months was a competition. 

"No-"

"If you're done fighting," Nova yelled. "I'd like to get to the damn hospital! You're not the one carrying two literally humans inside of you!"

"Then maybe you should've used prot-" 

Theo's sentence was silenced by Nova's peanut butter and jelly sandwich hitting his face. 

Ron tried not to laugh as the pale man looked offended. 

"Hermione," Harry said. "You're the one that can actually drive. You drive. Then when Teddy gets out of school, can you pick him up?"

"Of cour-"

"Why can't I pick Teddy up from hell?" Theo asked. 

"Because you'll pick up the wrong kid," Nova sassed.
