There was some commotion in another area of the Great Hall, and Harry’s Auror instincts were suddenly on full alert. It looked like little knives were flying out of somewhere. An Auror tried to destroy one of the knives, and as soon as the spell hit the knife multiplied. Harry looked around. Several people were trying to destroy the knives, using a variety of spells, and every time a spell hit a knife it multiplied.
Harry used the Sonorus Spell, and said, “Stop trying to destroy the knives. Destructive spells just multiply them. Confine them, protect people.”
Meanwhile the knives were attacking people, stabbing them. The knives were small, and no one was fatally hurt, but a lot of people were getting hurt.
There were only two people still trying to destroy the knives, one a trainee from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement who had failed the Auror test. Harry was not sure he was going to make it in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. The other was Assistant Professor Kettleburn, who Harry knew was not the brightest of the teachers.
Harry said, “Sonorus” again, and then yelled, “STOP TRYING TO DESTROY THE KNIVES. IT JUST MAKES THEM MULTIPLY!” The trainee stopped, but Professor Kettleburn kept on trying to destroy the knives.
Jim Shook, the Auror who usually guarded Harry, ran over and tackled Kettleburn, making her stop.
“Healers are coming,” Professor McGonagall said.
Harry, and everyone with a wand, was trying to shield the students and others, with only limited success. There were over four hundred people in the Great Hall, and Harry thought over half of them were already injured. He called an All Auror alert, saying with his Patronus that they should come to Hogwarts through St. Mungo’s. With all the healers rushing in Harry was sure the Floo between St. Mungo’s and the Hogwarts hospital was open.
Harry tried a variety of shield charms, with limited success. He had received a couple of minor cuts. As soon as he removed the knife stabbing him it escaped and stabbed again.
Harry heard Neville say, “Do not take the knives out. If you leave them in they cannot stab again.” Harry looked at Neville; he looked like a pincushion with over a dozen little knives in it.
Harry’s family had been safe at the start, but then James received two cuts. Eventually, a knife stuck into Lily Luna. For the first time the knife grew until it was so long it stuck all the way through her. A healer was there very quickly, doing a couple of spells before trying to take the knife out, and then staying with her. She called over another healer, very concerned.
A one of the healers tried to get Lily to take a potion, but she was unconscious and unable to drink anything. Harry thought she looked pale as death.
A third healer came over to Lily Luna, and then a fourth. Very quickly Harry saw that the healers had put what looked like a Muggle IV, and bag after bag of what looked like blood was flowing into Luna, and then out onto the floor.
Albus tried to see the knives the way Cleo saw magic. He tried to use his wand to de-magic the knives. Shortly after he started Luna Lovegood Scamander tried to see what he was doing. Finally, after about ten minutes of intense work, he succeeded. Albus heard, in his head, sort of like he did with Cleo but not near so clear, How did you do that? He knew the thoughts came from Luna.
Albus showed Luna the spell, but it did not work. Then he realized that the male and female versions of the spell were different, so he said, “I have to do the spell with an out, a twist into the other red, and then this kind of push pull motion. As a female you have to start with an in, then the twist into the other red, and then just the pull.”
Luna tried it, and got it. Albus and Luna started de-magicking the knives.
As soon as Harry saw that Albus was able to de-magic the knives he called his son over. Albus spent a good couple of minutes before he could de-magic the knife and a healer could pull it out of Lily Luna, and unlike the other knives this one had to be held tightly with a couple of confinement spells.
The Great Hall was full of healers and others treating the wounded and confining the knives as Albus and Luna worked on one after another of them.
Albus and Luna were taking over a minute per knife, and Harry thought there may have been over four hundred knives. Finally, after over an hour, Albus came on a knife that felt different, and when he did the de-magic spell on it the knife turned an ugly color and started to sizzle. At the same time all the other knives started to vanish.
Meanwhile most of the people who had knives sticking in them were healed and told to stay where they were. Over two hundred people had been cut, but only thirty of them were seriously hurt enough to require further treatment.
As Albus and Luna were finishing up with the knives Harry could see that the last unit of blood going into Lily Luna did not seem to be flowing in very fast.
“We finally have the flow of blood stopped,” one of the healers said. “That knife had a special spell that kept the blood flowing. It looked like it was aimed at her uterus. If she had been older she would have bled even worse.”
“I am glad Ginny was not here,” Harry said. “I think she is in labor.”
The healer said, “That knife would have killed your wife and baby.”
By this time most of the Aurors and the other staff were mopping up the Great Hall. Cho, who had come back, said to Harry, “You probably ought to go up to the hospital with Lily Luna. We have this under control. Where is Ginny?”
Harry said, “I think she is up in the hospital having a baby.”
Cho said, “By herself?! All the healers were down here. Go up and see her.”
Harry, James, who had been healed of a couple of cuts, and Albus, went up to the hospital, following Lily who was immobilized and being levitated.
*
Cleo looked at Ginny, eyes wide open, looked down at where the baby was going to come out, looked up at Ginny again, and said, “Can you stop the baby until someone comes back.”
Ginny said, “No. She is already well on her way, and there is no stopping her now.”
Cleo asked, “Who is going to deliver the baby?”
“You are,” Ginny said.
“ME?” asked Cleo.
Ginny had another contraction, lasting well over a minute, and then said, “Cleo, you are going to have to look at where the baby is coming out, and tell me what you see.”
,
Cleo looked. “It is kind of bloody and stretchy and, a baby comes out THERE? It doesn’t look big enough. Does it hurt?”
Ginny had another contraction, and then said, “There are pain potions that can help, and spells.”
“And if you don’t have them?” Cleo asked.
“It hurts. How does it look now?”
Cleo said, “It looks like it is getting bigger, and I can see something that may be a head. You have a scar down there. Does the scar hurt?”
Ginny said, “She is coming out head first, which is real good. You just need to catch …OH … OH.”
Cleo looked as this head moved noticeably closer to her.
Ginny said, “When the head comes out catch her, and when the body comes out you want to support the head so …OH …OH …OH.
Ginny was taking deep breaths with every Oh. She is early, and not as big as my other three, thought Ginny. There is no way to stop this baby from coming now.
Cleo put her left hand right under where the baby was coming out, and caught the head as it moved out of Ginny. The baby stayed there, the head out, eyes closed, the face rather smashed and shocked.
Ginny said, “She should be out with one more push.”
Ginny had another contraction, this one not as hard as the one that pushed out the head, and Cleo had a baby in her hands. The baby took a deep breath, and then another one, and then let out a little, “Waaaa, waaaa.” She opened her eyes, rather shocked.
Everything was kind of bloody, including the baby, Ginny, and Cleo.
Cleo said, “What do I do now?”
Ginny said, “Wipe her off. Then give me my wand. You need to suction out the mouth and nose, if they are full of fluid.”
Cleo gave Ginny her wand, still holding the baby. She held the baby while Ginny did a brief exam with the wand, and suctioned a little of the mess off the baby. The umbilical cord was still on the baby, but it had stopped pulsing, so Ginny used her wand to cut the cord.
Ginny opened what little of the gown that was still covering her, and said, “Put Minerva on my breast. It will be good for her and for me.”
Cleo and Ginny, working together, gently put baby Minerva on one breast, and the baby clamped on and started to suck.
Ginny started a little, and said, “Well, she has a strong sucking reflex, that’s for sure.”
Cleo said, “Does it hurt? There is a scar on that breast too.”
Ginny said, “The scars are from the year before the Battle of Hogwarts. They are annoying, but they really don’t hurt much.”
Cleo said, “Does nursing hurt?”
Ginny said, “It can be a little sore until you get used to it. Generally it is very pleasant, though, until the little buggers get teeth. Teething can be hard on a baby AND on a nursing mother.”
Cleo had thought that breast feeding a baby was going to be just the most pleasant thing. She involuntarily reached for her breasts. She had not thought of babies with TEETH!
“What do I do now?” Cleo asked. She could see the umbilical cord coming out of Ginny’s bottom, plus some blood and fluid. Giving birth WAS messy.
Ginny said, “See that pan. Be ready to catch the afterbirth. It should be coming soon, and it is bloody.”
Cleo said, “When does it stop bleeding?”
Ginny said, “In a few days. It is like a really, really bad period.”
Cleo said, “Yes, but you get a BABY out of this!”
Ginny said, “Albus was born in our drawing room. I was too stubborn to go to St. Mungo’s, because my labor was so easy, and it took James so long. Harry caught the baby, so he is listed on the birth certificate as the birthing assistant. Cleo, your name is going to be on Minerva’s birth certificate. Congratulations. You have just delivered your first baby.”
Cleo sat down, still watching Ginny, and tried to open her mind to Albus. Whatever was happening, she could feel that they were getting it under control. She said, “I do not know what happened in the Great Hall, but it seems to be getting better.”
Ginny looked at Cleo, and for a moment panicked. Then she let out a sigh of relief. Albus would be upset, and Cleo would feel it, if anyone close to them was seriously hurt, or worse.
Ginny and Cleo could hear commotion in the hospital, but everybody left them alone. Cleo eventually covered Ginny and Minerva, the baby sleeping on Ginny’s stomach, Ginny snoozing. Cleo was wide awake. She had tried to read Albus’ thoughts, but he was busy, and she did not want to bother him.
Cleo looked down between her legs. She tried to imagine lying on a bed, legs spread, as she let Albus into that most private part of her. He would leave a little of himself in her. One of her eggs would travel into her womb, and Albus’ sperm would wiggle into her, and one of the sperm would mate with her egg, and a person would start.
She would miss her next periods, as slowly a person would form, and grow in her womb. Eventually she would be able to feel it move inside of her. She would be able to let Albus feel it too. About nine months after they loved each other, after she eagerly let him into her, she would deliver someone half him and half her, a new person.
Cleo looked at Mum Ginny, and Minerva, and cried tears of joy. They had a new baby. Mum Ginny did it, and she helped. Cleo felt humble, not proud. Humble, and very, very thankful.
*
Harry and his family followed Lily into the hospital. Irma Pince, the head librarian, was writing on parchment. “The healers are busy,” Irma said.
One of the healers with Lily said, “I need a bed overnight for Lily Luna Potter.”
Irma said, “Mrs. Potter is that way,” pointing. “Put her next to her mother and sister.”
“Sister!” Albus exclaimed.
Irma pointed to her chart, and said, “End bed, Ginevra Molly Potter, Minerva Marie Potter, Cleopatra Desiree Smith, birthing assistant.
“Congratulations, Harry and family.”
Albus ran down to the end of the hospital, and peaked in the curtained off bed. There on the bed was his mother, and snuggled on her chest was a very little baby.
Cleo’s school uniform was a mess. “I siphoned off as much of the blood as I could,” she said. “Your mother did all the work.” Cleo burst into tears again, saying, “Oh, Albus, giving birth, having a new life come out of you, it was the most fantastic thing in the world. It is magic like no other magic I know. Two people love each other so much that they create another person.”
By this time Harry and James were in the room. Harry looked at his new daughter, and Ginny stirred. Harry leaned over and kissed her. She looked at James, with at least one visible cut that was healing, and a rip in his shirt, and said, “What happened?”
“Waaa, waaa, waaa,” came a little sound from Minerva.
Ginny sat up, and Cleo adjusted the bed. Minerva looked like she wanted to nurse, so Ginny said, “The other breast, Cleo. You alternate.”
Cleo helped Ginny put Minerva on her breast, and Minerva latched on hard again. Ginny made a face. She said to Harry, “Minerva may be tiny, but she has good sucking reflexes.
“Now, WHAT happened, and where is Lily?”
Harry said, “Lily received a serious cut, but she will be fine. Somehow a magical knife started attacking people, and all the attack spells just multiplied the knife. Everyone who was hurt is going to be able to be healed.
“Albus figured out how to de-magic the knives, and then Luna Lovegood Scamander figured it out as well.
“Lily is in the bed next to you.”
Madam Swan appeared, looking exhausted. She did something, and the curtains surrounding the beds were changed so that the curtains surrounded both Ginny’s and Lily Luna’s beds. Madam Swan adjusted Lily’s bed so she could see everybody.
“Lily has to stay immobilized for twelve to twenty four hours,” the matron said. “She had the most serious internal injuries, but we have healed them. They just need to finish healing. Meanwhile, Lily, meet your new sister.”
“How are you?” Ginny asked Lily.
“Sore,” Lily said. “Really sore in my gut, way down low. I’m just getting over being terrified, too.
“That’s my sister!”
Ginny said, “She is kind of busy. She feels her first job is to eat any time she is awake. You will get to meet her soon enough. Meanwhile, sleep.”
Madam Swan said, “We really should put you to sleep, to allow your injury to heal.”
Lily nodded, and Madam Swan put the bed back down, and gave Lily a potion. Lily was soon asleep.
“I’m sorry that I couldn’t help you, Albus, but I was kind of busy,” Cleo said.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you, Harry, but I was kind of busy,” Ginny said.
“Waaa, Waaa, gurgle,” said Minerva.
“Burp the baby, Harry,” said Ginny, as she covered up.
Harry gently patted Minerva until a, “burppp,” came out.
A little, “aaah, aaah www,” came out of the baby, followed by slight sucking sounds.
“I think she wants to nurse some more,” said Harry.
Ginny put Minerva on her other breast. When she was done she handed Minerva over to Cleopatra, who seemed to have no problem changing the baby. Cleo said, “This is the third time I have done this. Babies sure go through a lot of nappies.
“I put Minerva on Mum Ginny’s breast right after she was born, before putting a nappy on her. Minerva nursed and wet at the same time. Having a baby is really messy.”
Cho Chang peeked in and said, “Harry, since you were there at the start of this, we really could use you. Albus too. I’m sorry. Do you have anyone who could stay and help Ginny?”
“I can!” Cleo exclaimed. “I even delivered the baby.” She proudly showed Mrs. Chang the birth certificate, with her name on it as birthing assistant.
Cho looked at the birth certificate, and at Cleo. She shook her head. “This evening is getting stranger and stranger. Oh, congratulations, Ginny, Harry.”
“You may have Harry for as long as you need him,” Ginny said. “I’m a little busy at the moment, but I have good help.”
“Thank you, Mum Ginny,” Cleo said.
After Harry and Albus had gone with Cho, James said, “Do you mind if I go back to my room?”
“Go,” said Ginny.
Shortly after James left Mitzi appeared. “Elves has to help with the knives,” she explained. “I has to help. I was hurt, but will get better with sleep. May I sleep? I will be back in the morning.”
“Go, sleep,” said Ginny.
It was another hour later, and Cleo was getting real tired of sitting in the chair. Madam Swan bustled in again, and asked, “Miss Smith, are you spending the night?”
“I guess so,” Cleo said. “Mum Potter needs help using the loo, and I have been changing the baby.”
The matron charmed a bed for Cleo to sleep in, and gave both her and Ginny a buzzer type of thing. “We can use the help, Miss Smith. Just push this if you need anything,” she said. “We will have staff on call all night.” Madam Swan also charmed a little cot for Minerva to sleep in. Shortly after their heads hit the bed all three girls were asleep.

When Harry and Albus arrived back in the Great Hall Cho Chang led them over to where two men were looking at what once was a knife. Oliver Oddpick was holding the wand that Dragon Chen used when he did not want the evidence of what he did on his normal wand. He was examining it with another wand, and then looking at the remnants of the knife.
Oliver said, “I think I have identified the charms used on this knife. The counter charms are very difficult and time consuming. What caused it and its siblings to stop?”
Albus said, “I just sort of undid the magic, undid the spell. Sort of like a vacuum cleaner, sucking the magic out. It didn’t exactly get rid of the knives, but just depowered them. I don’t think I can explain it better than that.”
“Vacuum cleaner?” Oliver asked. Oliver knew very little about the Muggle world.
Harry said, “A Muggle sucking machine”
Luna Lovegood Scamander came over to the group. Albus said, “Aunt Luna undid the magic too, except I have to do the spell with an out, a twist into the other red, and then this kind of push pull motion. Aunt Luna is female, and as a female you have to start with an in, then the twist into the other red, and then just the pull.”
Luna said, “I watched you, and then tried to see what you were doing. I couldn’t see anything, exactly, but I could feel you sort of sucking the magic out of the knives, so I tried. It took a while to get it right, but when you told me to pull instead of push because I am female it all made sense. I know some of the magic is in my wand, and I would just as soon get rid of it.”
Oliver said, “Once you have done a spell with your wand you cannot undo it, so the spell is not in the wand.”
Albus thought, and then touched the remains of the knife with his wand. The wand seemed to vomit something onto the knife, and the knife was partly restored. Luna touched the knife, made an awful face, and more magic vomited onto the knife. Albus did something, and the knife was sort of sealed in an unusable shape.
Oliver said, “Albus, none of what you said made any sense to me. A wand cannot vomit back a spell.”
Luna said, “It CAN, because we just did it.”
Oliver, Luna, and Albus had a long discussion about what they had found, and what they had done. Harry could not understand half of it. Finally Oliver said, “We know the knife was charmed by Dragon Chen. We also are reasonably sure he charmed the student who had the knife, so there is no fault there. He also implanted a strong suggestion in Professor Kettleburn to keep trying to destroy the knife.
“I wish I could promise you that we have found all the potential evil things Dragon Chen has done. I think this is the last of the magic that could hurt someone, but I cannot be sure.”
Harry and Albus were in the Great Hall until reasonably late that evening, trying to secure any evidence they could. Just before the ten o’clock curfew Albus went to his room. Harry checked in with Ginny, but she, Cleo and baby Minerva were sleeping soundly.
*
“Waaa, Waaaa,” came from the cot.
Ginny woke up, Cleo was sound asleep. Every two blasted hours! It was not safe for Ginny to get out of bed alone. She was ready to push the buzzer and get help when she heard, “WAAAAA, WAAAAA, WAAAAA.”
Cleopatra woke up, and said, “I’m coming, I’m coming.” She picked up the baby, and took off her nappy.
“WAAAAH, WAAAAA,” baby Minerva went. She wanted food, not this delay.
Cleo changed Minerva, and gave Ginny the baby, and said, “What time is it?”
“I think it is about eight in the morning,” Ginny said.
Cleo heard a slurp, slurp from Minerva.
“I feel like I have hardly slept,” said Cleo.
“Minerva has been nursing every two hours for fifteen minutes or so, on both breasts. She is going to get my milk coming in real soon at this rate,” Ginny said.
“I thought you had milk,” said Cleo.
“She is getting nourishment, and a lot of good things,” said Ginny. “I will make real milk soon.
“Go back to sleep. I will wake you when I need you again.”
Cleo fell into the bed and almost immediately fell sound asleep again.
Ginny said, “Mitzi.”
Mitzi appeared, and said, “Mitzi has enough sleep. Let Miss Smith sleep.”
Ten o’clock Molly and Audrey Weasley appeared in the hospital. They went to the end where Ginny, Lily, Minerva Marie and Cleo were all sleeping. Shortly after they entered the curtained up area Minerva woke again. This time Minerva’s grandmother changed her nappy and gave her to Ginny to nurse.
Cleo woke up, and Ginny told her, “Cleo, you should go back to your room and sleep.”
“How do new mothers get a good night sleep?” Cleo asked.
Molly said, “They don’t, Cleo. If you are lucky, there are grandmothers, and aunts, and others to help.”
Cleo’s house-elf Dis was with her, unlike the previous day when she was helping in the Great Hall, and helped lead a very tired Cleopatra back to her dorm room.
Madam Pomfrey came into the area where Ginny and Lily were, along with another healer. They checked over Lily, and then had her sit up in the bed.
Madam Pomfrey said, “How are you now, Lily?”
Lily said, “Sore where I was stabbed. It itches a little too.”
Madam Pomfrey said, “I want you to go home, instead of staying here. After eating a little I want you to go to bed. You may get out of bed to use the loo and eat, but otherwise I want you to spend the next day in bed. A healer will come to check you tomorrow morning.”
Molly said, “I am going to be staying with the Potters for a couple of days, at least, and I will make sure Lily is careful the next couple of days.”
Molly gave Lily a look that indicated that she was not to be disobeyed, and in a small voice Lily said, “Yes, Grandmum.”
By this time Ginny was out of bed. With Mitzi’s help Ginny was walking a little, and she went to the loo while Audrey held baby Minerva. Ginny was getting ready to leave, wearing the same clothes that she came to the Anniversary on, when Professor Minerva McGonagall came into the area where the Potters were.
Ginny said, “Would you like to hold your namesake, Minerva?”
Professor McGonagall went over to Audrey and looked at the tiny baby. She said, “Later, when she is a little bigger. Thank you for naming her after me. You know that I will have to be over to see her often the next eleven years.”
Ginny said, “I would like that. I would like to know you better as a friend. You are always welcome to visit.”
The Potters had a room that Ginny used as an office, but that could also be a guest bedroom. Arthur and Molly stayed a month with Ginny and Minerva as the baby grew, only leaving when Minerva was sleeping at least three and sometimes four hours at night.
*
Three days after the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts Harry came home, looked at his map of the house, and went up to his and Ginny’s bedroom. Molly was sitting in a rocking chair, knitting. Ginny and baby Minerva were sleeping.
Molly motioned for Harry to keep quiet, and they both went into the hallway. Molly closed the door.
Harry asked, “How are they today?”
Molly said, “Minerva was almost too small to be sent home, just over four pounds, but she was breathing and nursing so strongly that the healers said she could come home. We have special spells on her, so if she stops breathing or has any other problems we will know about it right away. Minerva is gaining weight, and should be fine. It is just going to take a couple more weeks before she can go more than a couple of hours between feedings.
“Ginny is doing as well as can be expected for someone who never gets more than two hours of sleep at a time.”
They opened the door, and heard the “WAAAH, WAAAA,” from Minerva that indicated that she was awake, and hungry. Molly changed Minerva, and gave her to Ginny, who was awake by this time.
As soon as Minerva was firmly latched on Ginny said, “We have a routine, Harry. Mum stays with me during the day, while Mitzi sleeps. Then at night Mum sleeps while Mitzi stays with us. The healers say that for a couple more weeks I am going to be a sleep deprived milk machine.”
“The prettiest milk machine I know,” Harry said. “I am glad that you can stay home, and not have to be in St. Mungo’s.”
“I am going crazy stuck here,” Ginny said. “I am going to be meeting with my stringers who are covering the Quidditch games this weekend. I really should not complain too much about the Quidditch columns when I cannot edit them. The scores are usually correct. Columns I don’t edit are not edited and put together as well as I would like. Too many stupid mistakes get through. I do not know when I became a fussy editor, but punctuation and grammar are important.
“Cindy Base helps with the obvious things, but she really does not know enough about Quidditch to spot other things. And some of the stringers write good articles, but others are just awful, and it takes work to push them into publishable shape.
“Burp the baby, Harry.”
Harry put Minerva on his shoulder and a small, slightly milky burp dampened his shoulder. He held her, and said, “How are you, my pretty second daughter, Minerva?”
Minerva looked at Harry, and then tried to look at Ginny, her mouth moving. Harry gave her back to Ginny, who put Minerva on her other breast. Ginny said, “As soon as Minerva is fed I am going to get up and go down to the drawing room.”
Molly said, “Dinner will be in about an hour, in the dining room so Ginny only has to go down one extra set of steps. The healers think I will be able to go home in three or four weeks.”
Ginny said, “What is happening in your world, Harry?”
Harry said, “We think we know why Dragon Chen is mad at me, and it has nothing to do with the Pirate Witch Queen of the Caribbean, or the Lord of the Dementors. Indirectly is has to do with Tom Riddle, I guess.
“Dragon’s family was supplying illegal potion ingredients to two or three of the businesses I inherited, and that business stopped when I inherited the estates. He was mad because I hurt the revenue of the family business. The revenue was hurt enough that instead of an easy job with four generations of his family he had to find another job.”
Ginny said, “What is going to happen to him?”
Harry said, “If he cooperates I think he is going to be under house arrest for the next fifty or so years. He will probably be in the back room of some shop making potions. If he does not cooperate he will end up in Azkaban for the remainder of his sentence. His family is mad at him, and they want him to cooperate.”
Harry, Ginny, Molly and Minerva had just settled down in the drawing room when Audrey Weasley came upstairs with Lily Luna. Lily looked at her sister and said, “Babies are not any fun. She just eats, sleeps, and messes her nappies.”
Harry said, “She will grow up.”
Lily said, “I hope so. She is the smallest baby I have ever seen.”
