Click Clack, Click Clack
I hear footsteps coming down the corridor towards me. This can’t be good. I know it.
Click Clack, Click Clack
They’re too slow. Good news would come faster. They don’t want to tell me what’s happened.
Click Clack, Click Clack
My hands are shaking and I can’t stop staring at them. I’m scared to look up and see what’s coming. I’m scared to know the truth.
Click Clack, Click Clack
Where the hell is everyone else? I can’t be here alone right now!
Click…the footsteps stop in front of me, and I stand to face them.
“Mr. Potter, I have some news for you…” the Healer continues talking and all of a sudden I hear a loud commotion behind me.
“Harry, what’s happened?”
“Is she alright? We got your owl about the complications, but….”
“It’s a madhouse down there, they wouldn’t let us in! The reporters are going crazy!”
“Harry!” Ron shouts above the rest. The Healer’s gone and Ron spins me around, meeting my eyes. “Harry, what’s going on?” He looks worried and confused.
“Snap out of it, mate. Talk to me.”
I look at Ron and I can see the rest of the Weasley family-my family over his shoulder. “The Healer says Ginny’s doing great and…” I pause while the rest of the Healer’s words register in my mind.
“And?” Now Hermione is standing by Ron’s side, reaching to grab my hand.
“And…” I start, still feeling a bit dumbstruck as a boyish grin begins to make its way across my face. “And that I have a son.”
