To Infinity... And Beyond [Sequel to ILYONA]

Chapter 3

Btw, one of the wedding presents was a house painting, where painted Lily and James live. Someone else gave them the dlae, but for Sirius, abd there was another for Remus and Tonks. But they all come into Jily's house sometimes.

Harry

Everyone turned back to the little child, and I took Ginny's hand, squeezing it gently.
"Want to go for a short walk?" I asked softly. No one noticed.

"Sure." She replied. So we slipped away into a corridor.

"Sorry for getting a bit er-"

"Excited? Harry, it's fine. I couldn't have hoped for you to have taken it better."

"Well, we'll have our own family! Ginny, this is fantastic! And you're gonna be the best mum the world has ever seen." I promised.

"And I'm sure you'll be a tremendous dad too."

"Hmm. Hang on-"

"What is it?"

"I'm going to be a dad!"

"Yes Hun, that's kind of the nature of this-" She told me amusedly.

"Yeah, but- but what if not good at it? I mean, I can't really remember mine, because after a year I was raised by the Dursleys! So- so- so I don't even know what it's like to have a dad, let alone be one! And I bet I'll be really embarrassing too. Which isn't good, nuh-uh-"

"Harry." She cut me off, "You'll be brilliant. You've had my dad, you've had Remus, you've had Sirius, and Dumbledore's been your granddad. So trust me. You'll be fine."

"But-"

"Do you trust my judgment?"

"Well yes, b-"

"Then trust it this time. Please."

"I-"

"Harry. For me. And for this child." I looked into her soft brown eyes.

"Of course love." I replied gently. "Of course I do."

I heard a low chuckle from behind me, one I could recognise anywhere.
"S-Sirius? Mum, dad? What are you- how-"

"I er- I hope you don't mind, but I went to your house quickly. I thought you might want to tell them. But I was sort of- well, quite excitied, and couldn't wait. Sorry if I- if we were interrupting."

"Hermione? Thank you! Well, I guess you've realised..." I told the portraits awkwardly. Remus slid in.

"Oh right, sorry. I was here, I just went to see if there was any food left in my other portrait - there wasn't. Sorry."

"But Remus, you have an endless supply of chocolate! No ones gonna believe you!" He shrugged.

"My chocolate."

"Anyway. Out of guessing, that's why I laughed Harry." Sirius told me, grinning slyly from me to my dad.

"Huh?"

"When your mum first told me, he spied on us, too." Sirius shrugged.

"What can I say? You were both 19, had dated for a year and a bit, suddenly wanted to talk... I wanted to be there, y'know. Moral support." Remus snorted.
