OH BABY {James Potter}

INFIRMARY

CHAPTER EIGHT: INFIRMARY 

OCTOBER 1977 

"Pads shut it, she's pregnant. She needs as much sleep as she can get"

"Oi I'm only just been concerned about my godson in there"

"How many times have I had to tell you Pads..."

"Uh Sirius if anyone is the godfather it's me"

Crunch crunch crunch

"Wormtail stop eating"

"Can you boys all shut it, I think she's starting to wake up"

Florence groggily started to open her eyes. She was greeted with six faces peering down at her.

"I agree with Amara, can you all please shut it" she uttered sleep still evident in her voice.

"Florence. How are you? Are you okay?" James asked, dotting over the girl.

Before Florence replied Madame Pomfrey entered the room.

"All of you out. Except for James" the Mediwitch demanded shooing everyone out except the expecting parents.

The rest of the group scrunched up their faces and a chorus of complaints was called out as they were being pushed out of the room.

"Florence how are you feeling," the Mediwitch asked, checking up on Florence.

"I'm fine I just have a bit of a headache" Florence replied bringing her hand up to her head.

"That's expected. Everything is okay and normal. It appears you had a stress reaction to what happened"

Florence nodded her head taking it all in. The memories of her Uncle Ben basically disowning her flashed back. She closed her eyes trying to stop the tears from coming.

"You can leave when you feel up to it Florence" the Mediwitch informed the pair before she left.

James noticed the pained look on Florence's face.

"Are you okay?" he asked, moving his chair closer to the bed.

Florence didn't trust her voice to speak. Afraid that it would break as soon as she did.

She nodded her head refusing to use her voice.

"I know we don't know each other well and all but please know Florence you can talk to me about anything. We are going to be doing this together and I want to be here to help you" the boy said grabbing her hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze.

"Thank you, James. You know the same goes" Florence replied squeezing the boy's hand back.

"Did May leave?" Florence asked James unsure about her Aunts whereabouts.

"Yeah she promised she would write to you" James started "you should've seen how angry she was at your Uncle," James said sniggering remembering the words that spilled out of May's mouth.

"That sounds about right" Florence laughed "Aunt May has always been more extroverted and sociable than Uncle Ben, she is the one that forces me to call them Aunty and Uncle instead of cousin. Uncle Ben and I don't often get along" Florence sighed.

James gave Florence a soft smile. He could not even imagine losing his parents and then living with distant cousins in a new country.

'I was wondering" James started "If you would like to come home with me for the weekend to meet my parents. I've already organised it with Dumbledore" he asked nervously to hear the girls reply.
