Disclaimer: I own Susana, Emily, Grant and Rose. That\'s all.

Part 12


Harry\'s grandparents adored Susana.

After dinner with all of her family and all of his (minus the Dursleys, of course), the young couple joined the Evans in their guest quarters. It was then that the subject of Harry\'s life before Hogwarts was broached. Rose was completely flabbergasted at the thought of her grandson being forced to spend ten years of his life tucked away in a cupboard under a staircase, never having toys or new clothes and all of the physical and verbal abuse.

\"It\'s perfectly understandable to me.\" Grant cntednted. \"Petunia was always jealous of Lily. Lily had a natural grace about her and everything came easy to her. Petty struggled. Lily married a man who adored her. Petunia ... well, we know what she married. The first man who paid any attention to her.\"

\"Having to raise me was the last thing she wanted to do so she didn\'t.\" Harry added. \"But all of that is over and done with. I guess growing up the way I did made me into the person I am today. I like to think that even thought I\'ve had so much tragedy in my life, it all led to me meeting my beautiful wife and the two of us starting our family.\"

Rose smiled at the thought of great grandchildren. \"But that won\'t be for some time.\"

Harry and Susana looked at each other.

\"Actually, your great granddaughter\'s due in June.\" Susana smiled cautiously. Here she\'d just met these people and she was afraid that they would change their opinion of her.

She was wrong.

\"Oh, that\'s lovely dear.\" Rose sighed. \"But how do you know it\'s a girl?\"

She bit her bottom lip. \"Um...\" She glanced at Harry. She hadn\'t even admitted to her husband about her gift yet.

Harry smiled. \"She has a hunch.\" He placed his palm over her flat stomach. \"I hope she\'s right.\"

Susana took a deep breath in relief. But she realized that she needed to tell Harry about her ability soon.

\"As long as Grant and I are allowed to be apart of your child\'s life, I\'ll be overjoyed with a boy or a girl.\"

Harry\'s eyes brimmed with tears. \"I wouldn\'t have it any other way.\"

Later that night, Harry and Susana were lying in bed reflecting on the day\'s events.

\"I really like your grandparents.\" She said resting her head on his bare chest.

He smiled. \"They are quite brilliant, aren\'t they.\" His fingers were running through her silky hair. \"They were really impressed with you. I can\'t believe how excited they were about the baby. My grandmother was already talking about what she wants to buy for her.\"

Susana remained quiet.

He kissed the top of her head. \"What going on in there?\"

She took a deep breath. \"It\'s more than just a hunch.\"

\"Huh?\"

She bit her bottom lip. \"Knowing that the baby\'s a girl. It\'s more than a hunch. I know she a girl because...\" She blew out a long breath. \"I never talk about this.\" She closed her eyes. \"I guess the best way to say it is that I\'m psychic. I normally can\'t see anything about myself but I just know that we\'re having a girl.\" She looked at him to gage his reaction. \"Are you mad I didn\'t tell you?\"

\"Mad\'s not a good word. Disappointed that you didn\'t think you could tell me is more like it. Why don\'t you like to talk about it?\"

She sat up. \"When my mom was little, people made fun of her. True sight freaks people out. I mean, look at Trelawney. You\'ve been making fun of her for years. Why? Because her gift is limited. To compensate she makes generalized predictions that could pertain to anyone. Look at how many times she\'s predicted your death. She knew more about you than you did and knew that if able, Voldemort would indeed try to kill you which he did on several occasions. But what she never realized was that she\'s your warning system. Whenever you were really in danger, she\'d be there to tell you about it without ever remembering it.\"

Harry sat up as well. \"Did you know about my grandparents and just not say anything because it would reveal your secret?\" His tone was flat and even.

Tears were forming in her eyes. This wasn\'t going the way she\'d hoped it would. \"I would never have done that. I\'ve been blocking you.\"

\"I don\'t understand.\"

She was now chewing on her bottom lip and tears slid down her face as the memories flooded her mind. \"Growing up, I had a best friend named Hannah. She came from a Muggle family that lived behind us. We would play fortune teller and make predictions about each other. Of course, my predictions I made for her always came true. As the years passed, we stopped playing. Last year, on her sixteenth birthday I spent the night at her house after her party. She said why not play the game again for old time\'s sake.\" Susana paused and ran her hands through her hair. \"When it was my turn, I saw a red sports car, an 18-wheeler and blood. When I told her, she accused me of being dramatic. That\'s when I told her about my gift. Not about the whole witch thing, but I told her that I was indeed psychic. She laughed and told me that I was just jealous because she was getting a new red BMW Z3 a week later and mom wouldn\'t ever be able to afford anything like that for me. I told her that jealousy had nothing to do with it. I already had a car and she knew how much I loved it. Anyway, we dropped the subject. A week later, she and her dad went to pick up her car. When she pulled out of the lot, an 18-wheeler slammed into the driver\'s side and Hannah was killed on impact. That\'s why I block you out. I don\'t want to know if something awful\'s gonna happen to you and I lose you.\"

\"But you did for your Divination paper.\"

She nodded.

Harry kissed the side of her head. \"I\'m sorry if I snapped at you.\"

She faced him. \"It\'s understandable. But like I said, true sight freaks people out.\"

He gave her a half smile. \"I guess I\'m proof to that.\" He wrapped his arms around her.

Their lips met.

He smiled when they parted. \"Tell me about your home in Texas.\"

She bit her bottom lip. \"Um ... Okay, it\'s red brick with white columns, one story ... two car garage, which my car is still in, laundry room, breakfast room, kitchen, den, living room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, swimming pool and a pool house. Oh and our cats have their very own house in the backyard.\"

\"Must have been a great place to grow up.\"

She nodded. \"Yeah.\" He smile grew. \"Hannah had horses and we\'d ride everyday. Well, everyday until I started the Academy. But since I lived at home we rode on the weekends.\"

He started kissing her bare shoulder. \"You weren\'t required to stay at your school.\" His lips traveled to her neck.

She took a deep breath. \"Mmm ... uh, if you lived within a fifty mile ra...radius... Oh God that feels good.\"

Harry\'s mouth was sucking where her shoulder and her neck met.

The conversation ceased.

Susana climbed onto her husband\'s lap, straddling his waist. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his mouth to hers. Her nipples rubbed against his sending an electric sensation through her body. She ground her body into his making him moan.

It wasn\'t long before Harry turned her around and she was on her back with him caressing every inch of her body with his hands, his lips, his tongue.

\"Oh Harry, oh yes!\" She breathed as he tasted her. She was grinding her sex into his mouth as he sucked her clit into his mouth. Her juices flowed over his tongue and down his throat.

Licking his lips, he crawled up her body. \"Now that\'s what I call dessert.\" He kissed her. \"Have I told you today how much I love you?\"

She bit her bottom lip. \"Maybe a time or two.\"

He lowered his body on top of hers. \"I love you.\" He entered.

Their bodies moved against each other\'s as they shared their love. This was Harry\'s true home. Here, inside his wife, making love to her. Each bringing the other pleasure as they climaxed again and again was how he wanted to live for the rest of his life.

Exhausted after hours of making love, sleep finally claimed them.

Grant and Rose Evans stayed for a few more days before they had to leave. They made plans to write their grandson weekly and get together at Christmas time. Harry\'d have to be content with the arrangement until school ended.

By the next weekend, everyone in the castle knew that Harry\'s Muggle relatives were alive and well and had been at the school. This did not sit well with a certain Slytherin.

\"You mean to tell me that disgusting Muggles were here, at Hogwarts?\" Draco turned up his nose. \"It\'s a disgrace. If my father...\"

\"If your father what, Malfoy?\" Hermione asked. \"If your father weren\'t in prison for aiding Voldemort by trying to kill Harry and take over our world and the Muggle\'s? Get a clue. You\'re lucky that Professor Dumbledore told the Ministry that you had no part in your father\'s crimes or you\'d be sharing a cell with him in Azkaban as well.\"

Ron put his arm around her. \"That\'s my girl. Always has the answers to her own questions.\" He kissed the top of her head. \"How can anyone not love you?\"

Draco rolled his eyes. \"Oh please Weasley. Obviously she hasn\'t the brains of a gnat if you\'re the one she\'s shagging?\"

Hermione\'s face turned red with anger. \"Ten points from Slythrin for insulting the Head Girl.\" She turned on her heals. \"You pompous twit.\"

Ron smiled at Draco. \"In the words of Susana Potter, \'Sucks to be you.\'\" He followed his girlfriend down the corridor.

The month of September came to an end and Halloween soon arrived.

Susana looked at all of the sweets on her plate in front of her and felt nauseous.

\"Are you alright?\" Harry asked with concern in his voice.

She shook her head. \"I don\'t know what\'s going on. I took the potion three days ago, but I feel like I\'m gonna be sick.\"

He took her hand. \"Perhaps you should go see Madam Pomfrey.\"

She shrugged as she rested her face in her hands with her elbows on the table. \"I hate feeling like this. I thought my dad\'s potion was supposed to stop this.\"

\"When did you take it?\"

\"I just said three days ago!\" She snapped.

\"Sorry. I\'m just concerned.\"

She sighed. \"No, I\'m the one who\'s sorry. I just feel crappy and I\'m taking it out on you. I think I will go visit the nurse.\"

Harry put his arm around her and kissed the top of her head. \"I\'ll go with you.\"

She shook her head. \"No. You stay here and enjoy the feast.\" As she stood, she felt extremely dizzy. Then, everything went black.
