James Sirius Potter: Birth Story

At Mungos

"Hello Audrey," said Ginny brightly, eyeing Harry up in a 'Just-Go-With-It ' sort of way.

"Hi Ginny, Hi Harry, what brings you here?" replied Audrey, looking from Harry to Ginny with immense curiosity.

"Oh well...." said Ginny awkwardly, but out of the corner of her eye she saw a bright poster with the words MUGGLE INJURIES OPENING. This gave her an idea. "Harry's here to open up the muggle injuries department, aren't you Harry "

"Oh uh...." said Harry unsurely, but Ginny reassured him with a kick I the leg "Yes, I am what a great day!"

"Yes, it's great, some Muggle Born specialists are going to run it." enthused Audrey with a smile.

Ginny blushed. "Well, Audrey, I think I might get a check up first, you know just incase. I felt very off the weather this morning, I had the kids over Teddy, Vic and Dom."

"Oh great! Anyway I better be off I'm only in for an hour I have to collect Molly off Molly " Audrey explained.

"Bye." waved Harry and Ginny smiled.

"I'll see you at the family gathering next week," Audrey waved back as she left.

Harry then glared at Ginny, "Why did you do that ?"

"I don't know," sighed Ginny. "It's not one of my better lies, certainly,"

"It doesn't matter," Harry told her firmly, squeezing her hand in reassurance. "Come on, let's go get you that appointment."

Harry and Ginny walked over to the queue of people at the receptionists office and waited in turn before the Old man with the wooden leg, the middle aged women with red boils on her face, resembling Eloise Midgeon's acne- except with green pus drizzling out of them and the young German boy had all finished.

"Hello, how can I help you?" The Welcome Witch spoke with her head down, and in a lazy tone.

"We'd like to speak to Healer Padma Patil." Harry told her. "We're old friends."

The woman seemed throughly bored and uninterested. 

"Do you have an appointment?" 

"We're just here to visit, we are friends of hers," said Ginny.

"Alright. I'll see if she has a moment. Names?"

"Harry and Ginny Potter." Harry told her.

"OH !" The witch's head snapped up with incredible speed. "I'll be right on that Mr. Potter!" She jumped up, and ran off to the back, a couple of pieces I parchments went flying after her. Ginny laughed, and Harry blushed bright red .

"I know you hate the attention, but look what it did for us. Now we can see Padma sooner." Ginny smirked at Harry.

"Ha ha." he said sarcastically, kissing her forehead.

After a few minutes, the welcome witch reappeared, looking like she had run a marathon.

"Ms. Patil has a moment. If you two would follow me, I can take you back to her office." She started to walk away hastily, and Harry and Ginny followed her. They walked through many halls, and corridors, before the got the section of the hospital labeled, 'Miss P. Patil '.

"Here you are." The witch knocked on the door quietly, and called in. "Ms. Patil, Mr. and Mrs. Potter are here to see you." And with that, she walked away.

After a moment, the door opened, and there stood their old friend, Padma Patil.

"Harry! Ginny!" Padma exclaimed, and she hugged them both happily. "It's so good to see you!" She exclaimed. "It's such a wonderful surprise!"
