Sunday October 24 the family got together again. This was the first introduction of the entire family to James, and everybody needed to see the 8th of Molly and Arthur’s grandchildren. Teddy Lupin was 6 , Fred 5 , Molly and Victoire 4 , Roxanne 3, Lucy almost 3, Dominique almost 2, and Louis was just over two months old. Everybody had to look at James, comment on his red Weasley hair. Ginny and Fleur were sitting right next to each other, with Harry next to Ginny and Bill next to Fleur. James and Louis started to get hungry at the same time, so Ginny and Fleur started to nurse the babies of the same time. Victoire hauled Teddy over to her mother and aunt Ginny and said to Teddy, “When we grow up we are going to have lots of babies. I’m going to have BIG breasts like mummy.” At this she put her little hands up to her flat little chest and made a motion to demonstrate her words, “I’m going to feed our babies just like mummy. Girls are the only ones who get to have babies and nurse babies and wear beautiful dresses,” and at this she held up her hands and twirled around showing off her pretty dress. “I’m glad I’m a girl.” She kind of sighed and looked at her mother and Aunt Ginny with a big smile. Fleur was certainly not small on top, especially when she was pregnant or nursing, but her beauty was less a function of any part being oversized as it was, as Bill would say, “How well they were all put together.” Victoire was a beautiful little girl for the same reason; small across the shoulders and with just enough hips to be obviously a girl without having any part inappropriate for a 4 year old girl. Fleur was not only a beautiful woman but she knew how to dress herself and her family, to make them all look fantastic. She even knew how to let Bill be somewhat flamboyant and at the same time not inappropriate for the business responsibilities he had as head of the Potter estates. Bill was making more than enough money to let Fleur indulge in the best of clothes. About this time there was a big noise from a more distant corner of the house, and from the noise you could tell Fred was probably involved, as he usually was, and George and Angelica both took off to see what was going on, along with Bill who was concerned about Dominique. Molly and Lucy were more often observers or not at the scene of any trouble; they were both reasonably timid. Teddy said to Victoire, “I’m really glad you’re a girl,” and then he also left to see what was going on, equal parts trying to be the helpful big cousin and at the same time trying to see if it was something he wanted to be involved in. Harry thought that this family was absolutely the best thing that had ever happened to him. Bill came back and said, ‘George and Angelica have everything under control. They have some new gadget they want the children to look at.” At this Victoire took off to join the fun. Harry asked Bill, “What is going on between Teddy and Victoire.” Bill said, “Victoire has quite a crush on Teddy, and Teddy thinks Victoire is the best of the cousins. Both of them are cautiously adventurous. Freddy is a little wild for both of them, although they both like him and are willing to play with him. Molly and Lucy are too timid. Roxanne is OK, but she is Fred’s little sister and they are really a pair. I think Dominique is still trying to see where she fits in. She’s still pretty young. Sometimes Victoire treats Dominique like her doll, a big living doll, something Dominique is not all that fond of. “Teddy and Victoire like exploring the beach and cliffs along the beach, like exploring in general. They are so careful, telling us where they are going, and if anything looks dangerous they want us to know about it, but if we say it is something they can do they still want to take a risk. We have healed a few strains and cuts and bruises, but I would rather have them be a little bold than afraid of everything.” Harry said, “Victoire wants to marry Teddy!” Bill said, “I think that’s just a phase, but if by some miracle they are still together when they grow up at least they are not cousins. I’m not worried, yet.” Monday morning Harry was in meetings much of the morning. Harry’s new secretary, Mary Lou Creevey, had some time on her hands. She went over to where her husband Dennis Creevey was working, to see if she could help him, but as an Auror he was just getting ready to leave for the day. As she was walking back to her desk she saw another girl who was in her same year at Hogwarts, Eloise Urquhart. “I think my boss is in the same meeting as Harry,” said Eloise. “I think it is going to last all morning.” “Harry and Gawain have just started to train me, and I’m not sure what to do,” said Mary Lou. “Most of the other things I used to do other people are doing now.” “Some of the girls just get together and talk at times like this,” said Eloise. “Harry can’t be as good as people say,” said Eloise. “People talk about him like he is some ideal wizard, faithful to everybody and everything. He has to have some faults.” “He’s not perfect,” said Mary Lou, “but he is a really nice guy.” “I know he is thrilled about being a father,” said Eloise “but I know guys can not have sex with their little wives before and for some weeks after the baby is born. The guys I know do not want to wait that long.” “Maybe the problem is the guys you know,” said Mary Lou. “Harry’s just another guy,” said Eloise, “just one more famous than most.” That afternoon just before they were leaving Eloise approached Harry. “How is fatherhood, Harry?” asked Eloise. “Is the baby taking all of Ginny’s time?” “He sleeps a lot,” said Harry. “We have plenty of time to talk.” “No sex for a while,” said Eloise. “I think a nursing wife is very sexy,” said Harry, getting a little red. “There are others who can help you take care of your urges, if you need any help,” said Eloise, trying by her body language to indicate that she was available. “Ginny and I are doing fine,” said Harry, giving no indication that he was reading Eloise’s body language. “If we have any problems we just ask her mother. Molly Weasley, with all her children and grandchildren, is a wealth of knowledge. I can always ask Arthur or one of my brother-in-laws as well.” “Your mother-in-law can’t help you take care of your sexual urges,” said Eloise, still trying to indicate by her body language that she was available. A lot of guys picked up on the body language, but Harry’s mind seemed to be elsewhere. “She gave us the “Witches and Wizards Graphic Guide to Married Sex” book, a rather explicit book that certainly helped,” said Harry with a snarky grin. Eloise had to think about this answer. Her body language alone was obvious, if you knew what you were looking for. Harry had not gotten what she was hinting at. While she was thinking about this Harry said, “I really have to get going, Eloise. Maybe we will see each other tomorrow.” The next morning Mary Lou Creevey asked Harry, “Did Eloise see you last night?” “We talked a little just before we left,” said Harry. “Did she offer to help you take care of your sexual urges?” asked Mary Lou. “Did she what?” asked Harry. “What did she talk about?” asked Mary Lou. “I’m not sure,” said Harry. “Ginny and me, and how it is going after James. Ginny is a great mother. James is our first child, but she took care of Teddy, nursed him for 3 months when his mother was killed, and then we took care of Teddy for the months we were in North America. James is kind of our first and a half child. It’s going really well!” “She didn’t offer to have sex with you?” asked Mary Lou. “What?!” said Harry. “No, not that I know of. I know she has a reputation of bedding members of the ministry.” Harry shook his head. “I think Eloise made a subtle offer, Harry, and you didn’t get it,” said Mary Lou. “That’s stupid,” said Harry. “Why would I ever … it just doesn’t make any sense.” “Thank you Harry,” said Mary Lou. “You are not only a good boss but a good man.” Harry went away wondering if Eloise had made an offer to have sex with him, and determined to shut off any hint of a conversation going in that direction if Eloise ever made an overture to him again. Mary Lou told Eloise that Harry just didn’t get that there was an offer on the table. She was going to have to be over the top direct if she wanted Harry to know what she was offering, and Harry was almost certainly going to turn her down. Any such blunt offer was almost certainly going to get Ginny furious as well, and that was not a good idea. “Harry is very even tempered,” Mary Lou told Eloise, “but I’ve heard a few stories about Ginny’s temper. I know someone who said some nasty things about Harry and Ginny, and Ginny confronted her. It was like getting the worst howler you could imagine, but the person sending it was right in front of you. No one who was at that confrontation will ever forget it.” The story of Eloise trying to seduce Harry, and Harry not getting it, circulated around the ministry, further diminishing Eloise’s reputation but enhancing Harry’s. Friday October 29 Ginny took James to St. Mungo’s for both of them to get a thorough checkup. James was fine, ideal for a 2 week old baby. Ginny was also fine. The spells she was using, plus exercise, were getting her body back into shape. She was told it was fine for Ginny and Harry to make love again, and she was given potions that would keep her from getting pregnant while you were nursing. “I’m going to start reporting on Quidditch games again, starting tomorrow,” Ginny said. “If I compile the scores from all the games I am up pretty late Saturday night.” “Don’t overdo it, Ginny,” the midwife said. “Remember, you just had a baby.” “Is it normal to be tired all the time?” Ginny asked. “I feel like I haven’t gotten a good night sleep since James has been born.” “You have not gotten a good night’s sleep, with feeding the baby every few hours. Eventually James will sleep through the night, and then you should not be so tired.” Ginny did watch the Harpies every Saturday, and got a column out late Saturday for the Sunday Prophet, for the rest of the season. Her plan to quickly resume her Tuesday and Thursday columns was harder, and not totally successful. One of the results of having a young boy, Teddy, living with them when they went to North America was that Ginny and Harry had to wear something to bed; you never knew when a small boy would run into your room for some reason or another. Even though Teddy was not sleeping with them James was going to be in their bedroom for a number of weeks, and even when he moved to the nursery he was going to be back in for nursing from time to time, so they were still wearing night clothes. Ginny decided that she needed to show Harry that their brief period of abstinence was over, and before she went home she went to a store and purchased a new nightgown. Friday night James finished nursing about 11:00 PM. Harry was reading some material from the Potter Estates. When Ginny was done nursing James she let Harry know and he came into the bedroom to change James’s nappies and put him down to sleep in his crib. As Harry came into the bedroom he noticed Ginny’s nightgown; it was hard not to notice. It was very feminine and lacy, and about as transparent as a garment could be. It opened in the front to make nursing easier, but otherwise looked like a baby doll nightgown. The bottoms were almost non-existent, and what was there was also feminine and transparent. Harry took a good look at Ginny with a big smile on his face. “No need to wear anything to bed right away, Harry,” said Ginny. “This nightgown will come off easily as well.” When Harry came back into the room he was ready for Ginny. He noticed that Ginny’s figure was close to getting back to the way it was before she had the baby, although he could see evidence of where she had carried the baby. She was a lot bigger around on top, and the hips were bigger too. Harry would never say it to her, or to anyone else, but she was just a little chubby. Not fat, just a bit fuller figure. Harry though that even if the tummy never went away it was no more of a problem than the scars, evidence of how much she loved him. It was easy for Harry to say, “Still the most beautiful witch in the world.” Harry and Ginny thought that life could not get much better. |
