Ginny Potter was currently in some of the most drastic pain of her life. She was currently in the birth ward of St. Mungos hospital with her husband Harry Potter standing by her side as she struggled through giving birth to their first child.

"Alright Mrs. Potter, you're almost there." The healer said.

All Ginny could do was scream in response.

"I think this should help. Silencio." Said one of the trainee healers.

The next time Ginny screamed, it was silent.

"That is much better." Harry said, just to have his wife punch him.

"Episkey." Harry said, healing his broken arm before reversing the silencing charm on his wife.

"You are so lucky I don't the energy to pummel you." Ginny said.

Harry laughed as he went back to trying to comfort his wife.


After another 2 hours and a lot of screaming, Ginny had finally given birth to a baby boy, who looked like daddy, minus the scar and the glasses.

"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Potter. It's a boy." The healer said.

"What should we name him?" Harry asked as the healer handed him his newborn son.

"James." Ginny said.

"James Sirius Potter." Harry said, wanting to honor both his father and godfather.

Ginny nodded in agreement at that tribute.

"Can you please tell Ron and Hermione Weasley to come in here?" Harry asked, since they had already discussed naming Ron and Hermione James's godparents.

The healer nodded and walked out of the room and returned a few moments later with Ron and Hermione.

"Oh, he's so cute." Hermione said, running to take her nephew from her sister-in-law.

"What's his name?" Ron asked Harry.

"James Sirius Potter." Harry said.

"He looks just like his daddy, minus the scar." Hermione said.

"Hopefully, he stays that way." Ginny said.

Harry nodded.

"So anyway, why'd you guys want to see us?" Ron asked

"We wanted to tell you that we've decided to name you 2 as James's godparents. If something should god forbid happen to us, you'll be the ones that we want to raise our son?" Ginny said.

"We're honored." Ron said and Hermione nodded.

"You realize that James is going to be popular at Hogwarts before he even gets there. I mean, he's the son of Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, the Chosen One." Hermione pointed out.

Harry nodded and said "Which is why we're going to make sure that James doesn't let that go to his head. He needs to earn his reputation at school, not just get one since he's my son."

Ginny nodded her agreement as she took her son back into her arms.


The next day, Harry and Ginny brought James home.

See, Harry had tried to live at Number 12 Grimmauld Place, but it turned out it carried to many memories for Harry to stand. To many reminders of the life he could've had with Sirius.

So Kingsley had had a manor constructed in Harry's name and honor as retribution for his defeat of Lord Voldemort.

Kreacher had agreed that as long as he could come and go to the house of the Blacks whenever he pleased, he would continue to serve Harry at the manor.

Harry had also gotten the portrait of Phineas Nigellus Black to allow him to remove his portrait from Grimmauld Place and being put up in his manor so he could keep in touch with Hogwarts, specifically if McGonagall needed him for anything security wise.

The manor itself was divided up into 4 floors. The first floor was mainly the foyer, the lounge, the dining room, the living room, a training room, and the library.

The second floor was made up of Harry's study, Ginny's office, the owlery, mostly guest rooms and now also James's nursery.

The 3rd floor was entirely the master or Harry and Ginny's bedroom and their ensuite bathroom.

The basement was made up of the kitchens and Kreacher's living quarters, which were much more glamorous then his cupboard at Grimmauld Place.


Anyway, Ginny had just put James down in his new crib.

"Good night sweetheart." Ginny said, kissing her son's forehead before placing a sensory charm on the room that would alert her to when James woke up, even better than a baby monitor, and then walking slowly and quietly out of the room.
