Number 1

New Life

"Do you really have to go?" asked Ginny sadly. She was sitting in the kitchen, trying to get James to eat his formula and Harry was getting ready for his first day back at work.

"Yes, I do." he answered. He didn't want to go. He didn't want to leave his home and his family. "The representative from France will be here today to talk about the security measures. Molfank wants Ron and I to be there." Ginny looked at her husband with wide eyes. "He wants you and Ron specifically to be there?! That's fantastic! That means he values your opinions!" she said happily. She stood and gave him a hug. Harry chuckled. "Yes. Well he won't value it much longer if I'm late." he said. Ginny let go and watched as he Apparated.

Since Hermione was coming over soon, Ginny went to tidy up the living room and went back to the kitchen to make some tea. Hermione only had one month left until she would have her baby. Ron was so stressed out about it already. He had become the same way that Hermione had felt about school. It all needed to be perfect. They knew that they were going to have a girl, so Ron had already adopted the "daddy's little girl is too good for everything" syndrome. 

Hermione arrived by Floo at 9, after Ginny had woken up and fed James. She had just put the baby on a blanket on the floor with some of his soft toys when Hermione stepped into the livimg room. Ginny ran over to carefully hug her large friend. "Oh hello!" welcomed Ginny. "Hello Ginny! I've missed you so much!" exclaimed Hermione. "Where is he? I need to see how big he's gotten." she determined. Ginny led her over to the couch so that they could sit and watch James play. 

"He's gotten so big in only a few days!" said Hermione after taking the first sip of her tea. "I know. I hardly noticed since I see him everyday." agreed Ginny. It's true. She hadn't noticed how big her baby boy was getting. There was now a thick patch of black messy hair on his head and his eyes were a definite chocolate brown color. "He's going to be a heartbreaker, just like his dad." said Ginny. She was beaming down at her son. Ï hope my baby will be as lovely as him." whispered Hermione, her hand running over her large belly. 

Ginny looked over at her friend. "I think that she will be perfect." said Ginny earnestly. "Two new babies in the span of two months. I don't think this family could take that much excitement." said Hermione. They both laughed as they drank their tea and watched James giggle and play.

"Potter, Weasley! Molfank wants you two in his office."yelled Craig Rownie. They both nodded and looked at each other over the top of their cubicles. "That French rep must be here."said Ron as they walked down the hall. "Well we didn't do anything wrong, so it must be that." answered Harry just as they got to the door of the Head of the Department's office. They knocked. "Come in."said Molfank's deep voice.

They opened the door and walked in. Elphian Molfank was sitting behind his desk with his hands clasped together. His shoulder length gray hair, black eyes, and large nose reminded Harry and Ron of a much older Professor Snape. Scary. "Hello Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley." said Molfank. His guest stood up and turned to greet the two newcomers. He had dirty-blonde hair and pale skin with bright blue eyes. "Mr. Francin Polgrois, this is Mr. Ronald Weasley and Mr. Harry Potter." introduced Molfank. Polgrois leaned out to shake hands with Ron, but his eyes lit up when he heard Harry's name. "Oui. It iz an honeur to meetz you Monsieur Potter." said Polgrois, taking Harry's hand in a strong grasp. "Thank you Mr. Polgrois. It's nice to meet you too." said Harry as he shook the Frenchman's hand. "Now. Let's get to work." said Molfank as the other men sat down.

There will be one more part to this story. It will skip forward a few months so that we can see James grow up a little. After the next part, I will get started on my next story. So as I ways say: leave comments, follow my page, and always keep reading!
