Voldemort's Daughter

26. Friends

August came and went. Luna and Ginny prepared to return to Hogwarts to finish their final year. The recent graduates felt a twang of remembrance and longing when September first came.

Harry, Rosa, Ron, Hermione and Mrs. and Mr. Weasley all went to Platform 9 3/4 to see off Ginny and Luna. The group of witches and wizards stood around chatting happily.

"I'm going to go talk to Chris Wood for a minute. I'll be right back." Harry said and kissed Rosa gently. He wandered over to a group of younger boys and began to talk.

"Thank you for coming." Luna said happily. "I'm going to miss you while I'm away. Ginny is my only friend here and she's got her own friends to spend time with. I'll be alone most of the time I assume."

"You can owl me all you want and you both have to come back to see the baby." Rosa said hugging the blond haired girl.

"I will." Luna promised.

"Bye, Rosa." Ginny said appearing and hugging the witch before disappearing once more.

"Have you picked out a name for her if she's a girl?" Luna asked. Rosa shook her head and held her stomach.

"No, we've just got Lily." Rosa laughed weakly. She had excused herself to the bathroom earlier and since then she had had pain every few minutes. She winced as another shock of pain went through her.

"What's wrong?" Luna asked, she looked around. Ron, Hermione and the Weasleys had disappeared and Harry was no where to be seen.

"I think-" she stopped and winced again.

"Oh my." Luna said realizing what was happening. Ross's knees buckled and she grimaced in pain. Luna wrapped Rosa's arm around her shoulders and supported her weakly.

"Ron!" Luna called at a red headed figure near her. The boy spun around. His eyes widened as he saw an ill looking Rosa being supported by Luna.

"Find Harry." Luna said calmly. Rosa grimaced again and stifled a whimper. "Find him and get to St. Mungo's."

"But-"

"Go." Luna said calmly. The departure whistle screamed in the background.

Ron nodded and took off running to look for Harry. Luna calmly held on to Rosa and quickly Apparated them to St. Mungo's. They touched down just as another shock of pain went through the young witch.

"Oh Merlin." Said the attendant. She quickly called several Healers in.

"She's going into labor." Luna told the Healers as they took her to a room and sat her on the bed.

"I know." The Healer answers slightly irritated.

"Get that girl out of here." Another Healer yelled.

"No!" Rosa said, she wasn't going to lay back there alone. Luna glared at the Healer before going to stand beside her friend.

"Fine." The Healer grunted and began to move over Rosa.

Luna took Rosa's hand and watched almost helplessly as the girl writhed in pain.

"It's alright." Luna said quietly, trying to sooth the witch.

"Where's Harry?" Rosa asked through gritted teeth. She clung to Luna's hand like it was a life preserver.

"Ron is getting him. Don't worry." Luna said, she watched nervously as the Healers began to talk quickly and quietly to one another; she noticed the worried expressions on their faces.
