A Harry Potter Love Story: Gracie Style 2 *Completed*

Chapter 13

"Harry."

"What?"

"We have a mission."

"So?"

"Get up, Lazy."

"Don't feel like it."

"Potter!"

"Black!" He mocked, wrapping an arm and pulling me closer to him. I smiled to myself, but rolled over so that I could poke his face. "You're pregnant. You should be tired and want to lounge around."

"Quite the contrary, really. I have the grandchildren of the one and only, James Potter and Sirius Black in here. I'm feeling very energetic. Like, ready to find a horcrux energetic. So get up." I giggled, pushing away from him. I headed for the bathroom, admired my bump for a minute, and then took a shower. I walked out in my towel, to get my clothes. Harry seemed quite amused. "What?"

"Nothing." He smiled, getting up and coming to kiss my cheek. "I think I'll go take a shower before we talk to Ollivander and Griphook." I nodded, watching him go. Sighing happily, I got dressed quickly, sweats and Harry's hoodie. I pulled my hair into a sloppy bun, smiling. I could probably still fit into my regular clothes, but this is so much more comfortable. "Gracie? What are you doing?" Harry laughed, peaking behind the shower curtain. I held up my toothbrush as I rummaged through drawers.

"Toothpaste hunt." I mumbled, finally finding it. I brushed my teeth quickly, then my hair. "I will go wake up Ron and Mione."

"Alright. I'll be down in a bit."

"Okay." I chirped, skipping down the stairs. I was met by multiple shouts.

"What are you doing on your feet?" Fleur shouted, shoving me down into a chair. I huffed, crossing my arms in exasperation as I glared at all of them. "Gracie, please cooperate. Just this once."

"I don't think I will." I grinned, standing up again. "Good, you're up. Mione, mind if I?" I trailed off, smiling. She rolled her eyes playfully, handing me the treacle. Heaven. I sat back down, just so they would stop worrying about me. I distinctly heard Bill say Harry was going to have his hands full, and in retaliation, I threw a biscuit at him.

Pop
Pop
Pop

"Daddy!" I shouted, jumping up from my chair. Ooh, he isn't happy. I ran forward and hugged him anyway, squeezing him tight. He hugged me back, crying into my hair. "Oh Daddy, please don't cry. I'm fine! I swear." I pleaded, fighting back my own tears. I heard other sniffles, and peaked around him. "LILLY! JAMES!" I squealed, taking Lilly into my arms. "You're getting so big!" I groaned, hugging the two of them. James glared at me, crossing his arms.

"You left."

"I know Bubby, I'm sorry." I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "But hey! I'm back, and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon."

"Damn right." Mum grumbled, pulling me into a hug. I smiled, hugging her back tightly. "So, is it true? I'm gonna be a grandma? Remus mentioned triplets!" Mum squealed, pulling away from the hug. I could have sworn there were three pops....

"Boo!" I yelped as Tonks jumped out from behind Mum. "You're loosing your touch kid."

"Nuh uh! I was just thinking about that third pop!" I smirked, sticking my tongue out childishly. "And yeah Mum, it's true." My eyes flew to Dad, who wasn't happy. His eyes darted to the stairs, and mine followed.

"Shit." Harry cursed under his breath, I squeaked as Dad went running after him.

"Run Harry!" Mum, Lilly, Tonks, James, Mione, Fleur and I chorused. At the same time, Bill and Ron shouted, 'Get him Sirius!' I squeaked again, running after them. "Harry!" I called, pulling out my wand and ignoring the protests I received. My babies are perfectly safe. I would never do anything to hurt them.

"Sirius!" Harry grunted, and I finally found them. Harry was in a room with Dad, each against a wall with wands drawn. I stood in between them, glaring at them both. "I love you Gracie, but move before you get hurt."

"The only people in this room going to get hurt is going to be you two!" I snapped, moving my wand back and forth between them. "Put the wands down!" We have an audience, goodie. "Now you! Come here!" I commanded Harry, who obeyed warily. I took his hand and turned to Dad. "Name one time he has ever hurt me."

"When he left you to go on this mission." Dad snarled, glaring at Harry. His eyes were blazing and I knew he was truly pissed, it made me wonder how Uncle James would react? And Aunt Lilly? Smiling at the thought, I shook my head softly, placing a hand on my belly. "What are you smiling about?"

"Just wondering. I wonder how his parents would react." I giggled, Dad smiled a bit himself.

"James would tell me to quit being so uptight and that if I touched his son he'd hex me into oblivion. And Lilly would scold everyone of us on our behavior. She'd tell you two that you should have been more careful, she'd tell me I'm acting like a madman and to calm my arrogant, toe-rag self down. Then she'd tell James he's being to light on the situation. And lastly, she'd squeal about how cute her grandkids would be." Dad chuckled, eyes misting a bit.

"How the bloody hell does she do that?" Ron grumbled, shaking his head at me. I smirked a bit, going over to hug my dad.

"You know as well as I do, that he'll be with me every step of the way." I mumbled, feeling him hug me back.

"Okay okay. So maybe I overreacted. Harry's like my son as it is, I knew it was going to happen eventually. Sorry Prongsie." Dad chuckled, sending Harry an apologetic look. Harry shrugged it off, wrapping his arms around my waist. "Take care of my Princess, please?"

"Always." Harry smiled, kissing the top of my head. I rolled my eyes, smiling. Lilly came tottering over, wanting up. I lifted her up, and James, who'd come a minute later. I need another one just to practice. "I can take one of them-"

"You all quit treating me like glass. I'm fine. The babies are fine. You guys like adrenaline, don't you?" I teased, looking at my belly. I got a funny feeling and smiled. "They agree. Now, we do have a mission. So lets go do it guys. I'll be back in a little bit." I smiled, kissing Lilly and James' foreheads. Dad kissed my forehead, Mum squeezed me tight, and Tonks called me a lucky little prat. I giggled, leading the way to Ollivander's room. "Hey Ollie." I smiled, sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Hello Dear." He smiled in amusement, eyeing me up and down. "I heard them shouting at you, are you alright?"

"Pft. They think I'm a flower or something." I snorted, waving him off. He laughed, shaking his head. "You'll vouch for me, right? Tell em how much energy I had in that bloody cell, maybe they'll calm down wen they hear I've toned down quite a bit."

"That, is true." Ollivander smiled at Harry, Ron, and Mione. "The girl about gave us a heart attack when Bellatrix hexed her. She wasn't happy, ran from room to room, lighting up anyone she saw." I snickered, remembering that. "I fear you aren't hear to reminisce, however?" We all shook our heads, handing him the wands. He checked the first one, a grim smile. "That, was the one of Bellatrix Lestrange."

"Was?"

"One of you disarmed her, didn't you?" I nodded slowly, looking at it. "It has pledged it's allegiance to whomever that was." Harry had told me that the elder wand was Dumbledore's. So, if a wand can pledge a new allegiance just through disarming, in that case, the wand is Draco's. What am I missing? "This was the wand of Draco Malfoy. Who disarmed him?" My eyes snapped to the group, when he raised his hand, my eyes widened. Should I tell Harry that the elder wand is his? It could cause problems. What if someone wanted it? Voldemort has it, it won't work properly. I had wheels spinning in my brain as I listened to the conversation on the elder wand. This is crazy.

"Coming love?" Harry held out a hand, Hermione and Ron waiting worriedly in the door. "I don't need to worry, do I? You are okay, right?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Thinking." I murmured, taking his hand as we went to Griphook's room. I was the first to speak. "I have a deal for you Griphook." I leaned forward on my knees, smirking at him. He and I haggled a lot in that cellar, only in theory, like if I got something of importance, what he would give for it and what not. He smiled greedily, leaning forward. "We need to get into Gringotts."

"Gracie what-"

"Mione said Bellatrix seemed panicked when she thought you three had gotten into her vault." I cut Ron off, giving him a look. "So we're going to find out why."

"Damn I've missed her." Ron chuckled, ruffling my hair. I laughed, swatting his hand away.

"Alright alright. So, care to help?" I smirked, turning back to Griphook. "Come on, I can't do it with out my favorite goblin!" I sang, thinking about the sword. He may want it.

"You should know by now, what do I get in return?"

The sword. The sword of Gryfindor." Harry promised, leaning down beside me. I smiled proudly, but turned back to the goblin in front of us, who was considering it. "If you help us break into Gringotts, and get into Bellatrix's vault, we will give you the sword."

"Harry." I whispered, tugging on his sleeve. "Griphook is selfish. It's not that easy. Tell him he has to help us out too." I whispered, my eyes darting to my haggle friend. I feel like Mundungus. Blegh. Griphook hear my whisper, and shook his head with a bitter chuckle.

"You know me too well, Black."

"My job, Griphook. Now, deal or no deal?" I held out my hand, waiting. He stared at my hand, and finally, he shook it. "Nice doing business with ya pal. We will be back to discuss a plan soon. We need to leave before, um, we have to be out of here within a week. I don't like endangering Bill and Fleur." I shuddered, looking over my shoulder. Griphook nodded, waving goodbye. Harry pulled me to my feet, smiling softly at me.

"You're good at that."

"You, you promised him the sword Harry!" Ron squawked, making me cover my ears. I rolled my eyes, smirking.

"How will we destroy the horcrux?" Mione bit her lip, looking worried.

"We use a basilisk fang." I shrugged, still smiling. "Besides."

"I never said when I would give him the sword." Harry smirked, laughing. I nodded in agreement, leaning up on my toes to kiss his cheek. "What was that for?"

"Cus I wanted to. Do I need a reason?" I raised an eyebrow, skipping down the stairs backwards. All three of them shouted like mad, and Dad came running. Lilly too, Mum had James in the kitchen and was cutting his hair. I couldn't believe they were getting so worked up over something I did all the time at Hogwarts. They used to tease me about it, now everything is changing. "I swear!" I growled, glaring at all of them. "No one is treating Tonks like this, and you didn't treat Mum or Nat like this. I'm more than capable of taking care of myself." I snapped, my temper flaring. Huffing, I walked into the kitchen to grab something to eat. I'm starving.

"Calm down Gracie, they're just worried. They didn't just almost loose the rest of us when we were pregnant." Mum smiled, shaking her head. "They'll get used to it. In the meantime, don't be too hard on Harry. He's probably going to be like that the whole pregnancy."

"It's not really even Harry." I smiled, even I could hear how lovesick I sounded. "He at least gives me some leeway, the others want me to stay cooped up in bed twenty-four seven and that's just not going to happen. That isn't me."

"I know Sweetie. And so do they, they just need time to adjust. Please pick up your sister, she looks like a kicked puppy." Mum laughed, Lilly was sitting at the table, her lip wobbling.

"Oh!" I squeaked, hurrying over an scooping her up. "I wasn't mad at you Sissy. I missed you so much, you know that?"

"Not mad?" She looked up at me with bright, hopeful eyes. I nodded, hugging her tightly. It was great to see her again, gosh she's getting so big. The twins will be four this coming fall. I remember when they were born, in fourth year. A miracle seeing as how the Triwizard Tournament was going on. I kissed her forehead and rocked her gently until she fell asleep, then handed her to Dad.

"We have to go." Mum sighed, eyes tearing up. I hugged her tight, promising we'd be home soon.

"You best." She grinned, kissing my cheek. "No more scares!"

"Yes m'am." I winked, mock saluting. I turned to Daddy, who was wearing a pained expression again. I hugged him quickly. "I'll be back. And I'll be safe."

"You better. I won't explain it to your sister again." He murmured, tearing up. "And I won't loose you again."

"You won't Daddy. I'm safe, completely safe now." I smiled, rubbing his back soothingly. I kissed Lilly's forehead, and then James'. Smiling to myself, they disappeared. Tonks winked at me, then followed them out. Sighing, I turned back to my friends while running a hand through my hair. "So, a plan?"

"Come on." Mione smiled, linking her arm in mine, but I stopped. "What?"

"Hang on. LUNA!" I called up the stairs, hearing her feet. She came down a moment later, so I held my hand out to her. "Come on."

"Gracie no! He's the one that called the death eaters on us when we ended up at the manor." Harry warned, grabbing my hip. I smile up at him, waving.

"Then I have to thank him. And in any case, he turned you in to get Luna back. I've got Luna." I shrugged, stepping back. "I'll be back in, oh, fifteen minutes? I'd say that's about right. Give or take a few. Love you!" I smiled cheerily, and disappeared. I'll admit, apparition isn't the best form of travel for breathing, but it was good enough for me. I feel so cooped up. I need sir. I need to breathe. We landed at the Lovegood's, knocking on the door. He opened it slowly, looking around frantically. His eyes landed on Luna, and the door flew wide open.

"My Luna!" He cried, hugging her. It was another moment where I saw the serious side of her, where she didn't look like she was in a daydream, and I hated it. She looked so pained, like she was going to cry. If Luna cries, I may just loose it and apparate back to the manor myself. I'll kill every one of them. "Did they hurt you?"

"No Daddy. Gracie took care of me." Luna smiled, squeezing my hand.

"You took care of me too." I smiled back, stepping away from them. "I was happy to bring her back Sir. I know you must have missed her. I'll go now, Luna, stay safe. If you go back to Hogwarts, lay low. They can't hurt you. If they take you again, I'll know." I smiled, hugging her goodbye. "Bye Luna-Bell."

"Bye Gracie-Boo." She teased, giggling. I waved goodbye to her dad, and apparated back to our temporary stay. They were all pacing the kitchen worriedly, except Harry. He was smiling down at his watch as I popped in.

"Fifteen minutes exactly." He chuckled, coming over to kiss my forehead. "Plan now?" I nodded, linking arms with Mione again. Walking upstairs, we all tried to think of a plan.

"Well, obviously one of us has to be Bellatrix." I murmured, looking at myself. "We're related, it would be easier if I did it."

"Who would I be?"

"Mm. You could be Narissca." I mused, looking at Mione. She frowned, but nodded. "And Ron, uh, we'll just fix you up." I smiled, fingering my wand evilly. "Harry, you'll use the cloak with Griphook. We have her wand, so we won't need the key. Or I hope anyway." I mumbled, pacing the room.

"Good to have you back." Mione giggled, shaking her head. I gave a half hearted grin in response. "I've been planning these things forever now, your turn. And you can deal with the fights too."

"Yeah lets get one thing straight." I smirked, putting my hands on the table and leaning down between Harry and Ron dangerously. They looked so scared. Good. "There won't be any fighting, now will there boys?"

"No m'am." They chorused, eyes still wide. I pulled back with a smirk. "Bloody hell!" Ron groaned, shaking his head.

"How did you do that?" Mione gasped, looking at me. I shrugged, but smiled.

"Alright, so Harry will use the cloak, I'll be Bellatrix, Mione will be Narissca, and Ron can be some random death eater." I smiled, rubbing my hands together. "Now, we just have to depend on Griphook to get us out."

"And if he doesn't?" Mione frowned, crossing her arms. I probably look like the Cheshire Cat. I winked at her quite happily.

"That's where it gets fun. We wing it."

"How will we know if a horcrux is in there?" Ron scowled, still upset about my dominance. Pft, he should have learned a long time ago.

I'm getting to be quite cocky.

I think it's just where they're back and I'm in such a good mood. Or at least that's what I'm going to go with.

"I'll feel it." Harry sighed, but his eyes were locked on me. "I know you're fine, I do. You're sure you're up for it though? I don't think anyone would mimd if you wanted Hermione to be that hag. And we could pick you up once we're done. I trust you, just wondering if the babies are up for it. Love for adrenaline or no love."

I bit my lip, placing a hand on my stomach. As impossible as it may seem, it's gotten bigger these past few days. "Let me sleep on it?"

"Of course, Love." Harry smiled, kissing my forehead. "It's late, you go ahead and crawl into bed, I'll be in in a few minutes. I just need to run the plan by the goblin. And maybe talk to Ollivander."

"Ollivander? Why?" I frowned, grabbing my pajamas. Ron and Mione had already started to leave. "Night guys!"

"Night!" They chorused, and if I am not mistaken, Ron grabbed her hand.

"Yeah, my wand broke." Harry sighed, I gasped in response. I can't believe Harry's wand broke! I held out my hand, taking the two pieces from him.

"Reparo." I murmured, the two pieces flew back together, but I knew it wasn't right. Harry got really excited for a minute, but he noticed my expression and sighed. "Reparo." My theory is that if I saw it enough times, the wand will repair itself. I cast again. "Reparo." It did seem to tighten a little bit, but it still looked like Ron's spell o taped wand. "I'm sorry Harry."

"Hey, it looks a little better. I'll be back in a few minutes." He smiled, pocketing. I nodded, slipping my sweat pants down over my hips. Harry stopped for a minute, making me giggle, but when I did he chuckled and went ahead out the door. It was quite funny. I change quickly and crawled into bed, but I couldn't sleep.

Harry slipped back in after a while, so I pretended to be sleeping. "Gracie?" He whispered, peering over me, I snapped my eyes shut. Harry chuckled, backing up. I peeked out of the corner of my eye, and saw him shake his head. "I knew she was tired." He mumbled, I grinned a bit. I was, but I can't sleep. "My girl." My heart swelled. "And my kids, I have three." He sounded so innocent as he sat on the side of the bed in only his boxers. I blushed madly, keeping my eyes closed. "I'm going to be a dad with the best mum out there." Awe. How cute. "A mum who's very sneaky. But not sneaky enough." Harry laughed, grabbing me by the waist and pulling me on top of him. I squeaked, going wide eyed. "Nice try." He smirked, situating me on his lap.

"What gave me away?" I huffed, rubbing my eyes tiredly.

"The light are on, I saw you blush." He snickered, placing his hands on my cheeks. I wrapped my legs around his waist, putting my palms on his chest. "I love you."

"I love you too, Harry." I whispered, his eyes flashed to my lips. Slowly, he leaned in and kissed me. He pulled back a few seconds later, his eyes meeting mine. Our lips met again at the silent communication, my hands tangled into his hair and one of his slid down to squeeze my waist. The kiss deepened and I smiled, in pure bliss. We continued to snog like that for a while, until Harry pulled back.

"You need sleep Love."

"No I don't." I grumbled, rolling to the side. I curled into his side and he wrapped his arms around my waist. His cheek rested on the top of my head. "I am going tomorrow, by the way."

"Okay, that's fine. Just please, stick close to me?" Harry smiled, kissing the top of my head. I nodded, looking up to give him a quick kiss. "Good night Sweetheart."

"Night Harry." I smiled, falling asleep in his arms.
