“Emily, please let me take care of you. Please come home with me and let me help you.” Harry said, pleading.
“Okay, Harry. I don’t see that I have any other option other than to stay here. I would love to stay with you,” she replied, smiling at him. Her eyes drifted closed and soon her breathing was even and soft, indicating that she had fallen asleep. Harry sat back down in the chair, watching her sleep. Spying some parchment and a quill on the bedside table, he wrote out two notes, one to his house elf to prepare his room for another guest and another to Molly Weasley to ask for her assistance. As he knew she would, his owl found him, tapping on the window. He attached the letters to her leg and asked her to deliver them for him. Settling back down in the chair, he watched Emily and waited. Lost in his thoughts, his eyes drifted close and he was soon asleep.
Several hours passed before she slipped into the room quietly. Walking over to the chair, she put a hand on Harry’s arm, “Harry,” she said softly. He jumped up and spun around wand pointed in front of him. She leapt back out of the way, “I’m sorry, Harry, I didn’t mean to startle you.” She said.
His eyes focused, “Oh, it’s you, Molly. I’m sorry,” he said, putting his wand away. “You got my letter?” he asked.
Nodding, “Of course I’ll help you out, dear. I will be happy to stay with her while you are at work. I came to see if you needed anything right now.” Molly stated.
Shaking his head, “No, they brought us dinner a little while ago. I appreciate your help with Emily. The healer doesn’t want her left alone until after the baby comes.” He told her.
She nodded again, “Of course, dear. I’ll be there for you and her. I’m sure your home needs a good cleaning again, anyway.” She smiled at him. “When would you need me to be over?” she asked.
“I’m not sure about tomorrow yet, depends on what time they let her go home.” He answered. “I’ll let you know. Thanks Molly.”
“Sure, dear. Let me know if you need anything.” Molly said and quietly left the room. Harry settled back down in the chair and soon fell asleep again, waking only when a trainee healer arrived to check up on Emily. He was still sitting in the chair when the sun came up and Emily stirred. She opened her eyes, seeing Harry sitting in the chair asleep. Smiling, she reached over and placed a hand on his knee causing him to jump up.
“Sorry,” she said. He visibly relaxed, seeing that it was only Emily touching him and not something else.
“Good morning. How are you feeling?” he asked.
“I feel better. Still hurts a bit where the spell hit, though.” She said. A young witch entered with a tray of food for them both. She set them down and left the room as quietly as she came in. Harry moved to the trays and picking one up, brought it to the bed for Emily.
“Here, have some breakfast and then maybe the healer will be in to let you go home.” He said, setting up the tray over her lap as she sat up in the bed.
She began eating, realizing how hungry she was. Looking up, “Aren’t you going to eat?” she asked him.
Smiling, he nodded and sat down to eat his own breakfast. Healer Michaels arrived shortly after they had pushed their tray away. She silently stepped to the side of the bed and waved her wand over Emily to ensure that everything was still fine. She checked the baby and the wound in her side mostly. “Well, I suppose I can let you go home, if you have a place that will ensure rest and relaxation with constant supervision. You don’t have to be on complete bed rest, but I do not want you on your feet all day, either.” She spoke after her check of Emily was done.
“She’ll be staying at my place. I have a house elf, and also someone will come to stay with her when I’m at work at the Ministry. She has agreed to this.” Harry told her.
Healer Michaels looked at Emily who nodded, “Very well then, you will have to let me have access to the place, since I don’t want Emily travelling unless absolutely necessary. I will come to you when it is time for a check.” Harry nodded and wrote something on a paper.
“Fidelius,” he said, she nodded, knowing that his place was hidden and that he was trusting her to keep it secret.
“I will see you in a few weeks, unless you need me before then.” She said and turned to leave. “You may go now, just take it easy for a few days and then you can resume semi-normal activities.”
Harry helped Emily dress in the robe that was left for her and supported her as they walked out to the fireplace in the lobby to use the floo network. She limped slightly as the pain in her side was beginning again. A young trainee healer caught up with them before they stepped into the fireplace. Handing Harry a case, “Healer Michaels forgot to give this to you, potions for the pain and more for the pregnancy,” she said.
Harry nodded in thanks and he stepped into the fireplace with Emily, tossing some powder down he muttered the name of his home, soft enough that no one heard him. The people around barely noticed them enter the lobby and certainly weren’t paying attention to them as they left. They arrived at Number 12 Grimmauld Place and stepped out of the fireplace in the kitchen. Emily stumbled slightly and Harry led her to the kitchen table to have a seat while he went to check on his room.
“Kreacher?” he called.
“Yes master Harry. I’ve just finished your room.” A small house elf appeared just before Harry left the kitchen.
“Thank you, Kreacher. This is Emily; she will be staying with us for a while. She’s not to be stressed and she needs lots of rest. Mrs. Weasley will be coming around as well, while I’m away at work. Please honor them both and do as they ask, and help keep Emily comfortable.” Harry explained to the elf.
“Certainly, master Harry. Welcome Miss Emily, welcome to the noble house of Black, now the house of Potter.” The elf bowed low, his nose touching the floor. Emily giggled softly.
“Thank you, Kreacher. You are most kind.” She said, laughing at his wide-eyed expression. Harry chuckled and went back to Emily’s side, helping her to stand. Ushering her through the kitchen door, towards the stairs, she sagged against him. The pain in her side was increasing with all the walking. He growled slightly and lifted her into his arms easily, carrying her upstairs to his room.
Laying her gently in the bed, he reached for the case of potions and pulled out one for pain. Tipping it to her lips, she took a sip and sighed as it worked immediately. “I’m sorry.” She said, lying back on the pillows.
“No need to be sorry. You need to rest. Will you be okay here if I go to work? Molly will come and stay, and make sure you get your meals and rest.” Harry asked, brushing her hair off of her face.
“Yeah, you go do what you need to do. I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about me,” she said, eyes drifting closed. Harry turned to leave, placing his hand on the doorknob; he heard something that made him pause. “I love you, Harry,” she whispered. He smiled and stepped out of the room.
He arrived at his office and spoke with his secretary about his messages. He told her to send in his first meeting and lost himself in his work for several hours. Hermione entered his office to give him a report on Romano’s trial. He was going before the Wizengamot in a few days, and it would be great if Emily could attend to testify. “I’m not sure, Hermione. She’s still pretty fragile, but I will ask her,” he told her.
At 6 that evening, Harry arrived home to find Molly in the kitchen cooking alongside Kreacher. “Hi, Molly, how has she been today?” he spoke softly so as not to startle them.
“She’s been sleeping most of the day. I suppose those pain potions have a bit of a sleep aid in them to help with the healing process. She’s eaten her meals very well.” Molly turned to him, giving him a small hug. “Dinner will be ready soon, go on up and we will bring trays up when it’s ready.”
Harry smiled and left the kitchen, taking the stairs two at a time, hardly able to stand not seeing Emily. Opening the door quietly, trying not to wake her if she was asleep, he stuck his head around the door. Seeing her sitting up in the bed, he smiled and walked into the room to kneel beside the bed. “Hey, how are you feeling?” he asked.
“There’s still some pain, but the potions put me to sleep too quickly. I wanted to see you when you got home,” she answered, smiling at him. He leaned up and brushed her lips with his, standing to change out of his work clothes. Stripping down to his boxer shorts, he wasn’t ashamed for her to see him like that, he walked around gathering pants and shirt and headed to the shower. Molly arrived with two trays of food as Harry stepped out of the shower, hair still wet.
“Thanks, Molly. I will be leaving for work about 8 in the morning, if you could be here by then, that would be great.” Harry said, sitting down on the side of the bed by Emily.
“Sure, Harry. I’ll see you then. I’ll just be going home now.” She answered and left.
Leaning over, he placed a kiss on Emily’s cheek, “Let’s eat.”
Emily smiled shyly and watched as he placed the tray over her lap. She ignored the potion on the tray and asked Harry how his day was as she dug in to the wonderful food. They talked while they ate, sharing news. Their plates were empty and they pushed the trays away. Harry noticed the potion still on her tray, and motioned to it. “Don’t you think you should take that?” he asked.
“I will in a bit. I want to spend some time with you.” Emily said with a pout on her lips.
Laughing, he leaned forward and captured her lips in a kiss, placing a hand at the back of her neck, tilting her head up slightly to deepen the kiss. “We have all the time in the world to spend together. I don’t want you in pain, though, so take the potion. I’ll be here when you wake up.” He assured her, after pulling away. Handing the vial to her, he watched her tip it back. She sighed involuntarily as the potion took affect and removed the pain. She slid down in the bed, snuggling under the covers. Harry started to rise and leave her in peace, but she grabbed his hand.
“Don’t go. Stay with me.” She said as the potion started to cause her eyes to drift close. Harry chuckled, then kicked off his pants and removed his shirt. Crawling between the sheets, he turned on his left side, looking into her face as she gave in to the sleep that was calling to her. He watched her for hours, just lying there beside her, her hand in his. Soon, he removed his glasses and placed them on the bedside table and closed his own eyes in sleep. He awoke to his alarm the next morning, finding Emily’s head on his chest and her hair billowing out around him. Smiling, he slowly got out of bed, trying not to wake her. She stirred as he moved, though, opening her eyes. Seeing that she was in bed with Harry, she sat up with a start. “Oh, sorry,” she said.
“No need to be sorry, I’m not. I enjoy waking up next to you and falling asleep next to you.” Harry said. “I could get used to this.” She blushed, seeing him rise from the bed in his boxer shorts. He laughed, “Don’t be embarrassed, I’m not. I mean, we have seen each other in less.” Reaching the dresser, he pulled out clothes and got ready for work. “I’ll be back for dinner.” He said, leaning over her and placing a kiss on her forehead. Striding out of the bedroom, he tromped down to the kitchen, grabbing an apple on his way to the fireplace to head to work.
