Chapter 3
Harry stumbled out of the fireplace and into the arms of his professor. “Potter, even if Severus does seek for the same team as you, he wouldn’t want you,” Malfoy sneered.
“Mr. Malfoy, you are a guest in my home. You are to treat everyone that comes here with respect, including Mr. Potter and his…“ he said as he paused and looked over at Harry. “What should I call her, Mr. Potter?”
Harry smiled at the older man, “Well, the day after my birthday, she’ll be my daughter, so I guess we can call her that.”
A loud wail came from the blankets that Harry was holding. “Potter, is that a baby?” Malfoy asked.
Harry rolled his eyes and pulled the blankets away from Serena’s face. “Yes Malfoy, she is a baby and her name is Serena.”
Draco Malfoy took a few steps forward and gazed down at the small dark haired girl. “She’s pretty,” he said in awe. “May I hold her?”
Harry looked over at Professor Snape, who gave a slight inclination of his head. “Just be careful,” Harry told him. “I’ve only been taking care of her since this afternoon, and I’m not really sure what to do.”
Draco nodded and gently took the baby from Harry’s arms, “Hello there, Serena. I’m Draco.”
Severus showed Harry to the room he would be staying in and transfigured a cot for Serena. “Make yourself comfortable, if you need anything, just hold out your wand and call for Mopsey. She’ll take care of any needs that you and Serena have,” he explained.
Harry put his shrunken things down on the bed and looked up at his professor. “Could you enlarge my things while I go and collect Serena from Malfoy?”
Severus took out his wand and waved it over Harry and Serena’s things. “Have Mopsey prepare a bottle with a warming charm on it. That way, you won’t need to call her in the middle of the night.”
Harry went back down to where he had left Malfoy and Serena and stopped behind the chair that they were sitting in. “You are the most beautiful little girl I have ever seen,” the blonde boy said to the gurgling child. “I had never seen a baby up close before today. I have to wonder why my parents only had me. I can’t imagine only having one child, not getting to see all of the wonders that come with each new infant. I think that I understand why Weasley’s parents had so many.”
Harry cleared his throat, “Malfoy, you’re welcome to play with her anytime you want while we’re here.” He smiled and looked down at Serena. “She seems to like you, and anything that makes her happy is okay with me.”
The blonde looked up at him, “Thank you.” He considered what Harry had said and stood up. “What do you mean ‘while we’re here’?” he asked.
Harry sat down on the sofa facing the chair, “I asked Professor Snape to help set some wards when I find somewhere to stay for the summer. Serena is my cousin’s daughter, and his parents won’t let him keep her because she’s magical.”
Draco looked down at the baby and back at Harry. “Why would they have a problem with her being magical? She’s perfect, how could they not want her?”
“When Voldemort killed my parents, I was sent to live with my mother’s sister and her husband and son. They are all muggles, and they hate magic.” Harry paused, “My cousin Dudley met a witch over the summer last year and they dated and she got pregnant. Voldemort killed her and her family right before I destroyed him, so she was sent to Dudley.”
“But look at her Potter, how could they not want her? Besides, she’s too young to have shown any magic.”
Harry looked at him, “What do you mean she’s too young? There were things floating all over the sitting room when I got home. My uncle was talking about taking her to the orphanage, and she was keeping him away from her.”
Draco shook his head, “I’m pretty sure that magical children don’t show any magic until they are at least two. We could ask Professor Snape, I’m sure that he would know.”
Harry jumped up from the chair and looked at the clock. “Maybe we should wait until morning, it’s already eleven. I’ll just get her bottle and ask whenwhen he gets up in the morning.”
o gro grudgingly handed over the small bundle. “Potter, would it be alright if I held her again tomorrow?”
Harry smiled, “Sure, just come and seein tin the morning. By the way, since we’re going to try and get along, call me Harry.”
“Alright, and you call me Draco,” he answered.
Harry held up his wand and called for Mopsey, ordered Serena’s bottle, and took it when the elf came back. “Goodnight, Draco.”
“Goodnight, Harry. Goodnight, Serena.”
