HARRY POTTER AND THE SHIP OF DREAMS
Chapter Six
Harry made his way back to the
stateroom, where Fleur was still sitting and reading.
"Fleur, I’m back,"
Harry said.
Fleur jumped and hid the Kama
Sutra under her dress.
"Hello, Harry," she
said.
Harry bent over to kiss her and
his revolver fell out of his pocket and into Fleur’s lap.
"Wh-what’s this?" she
asked, giving the gun to Harry.
"Damn. Sorry, Fleur, but
Moody wants me to keep an eye on Fudge…that’s it. All I have to do is watch
him. That’s all."
Fleur was angry. Forgetting that
the book was under her dress, she stood up. The book fell to the floor.
Fleur blushed a bright red and
ran to their bedroom.
Harry looked down to see what the
book was. He picked up the book and went to their bedroom.
Harry opened the door, then
turned around and shut it, not turning to face Fleur.
Fleur sat on the bed, watching
Harry facing the door.
Harry turned around, not saying a
word, and sat on the bed next to Fleur, putting the book in her lap.
"Harry, I…" Fleur tried
to explain. "I…I…"
"No. It’s fine. You don’t
have to," Harry said.
"I’m sorry…I…" Fleur
stuttered, starting to cry.
Harry felt guilty and kissed her
on the forehead.
"No, no, no…shh…" Harry
said, calming her down. "It’s all right. I’ve looked at the book, too.
You’re fine."
Fleur hugged him back.
"Harry."
"Yes?"
"I’ve got something to tell
you. Promise you won’t get mad?"
"Sure."
Fleur was at a loss for words for
a moment. "Harry…I’m pregnant."
Harry’s world came to a sudden
halt for a moment until he realized that this was what he had been waiting for.
"Fleur! That’s great! I’m
going to be a father!" Harry cheered, kissing her deeply.
"I’ve known for about a
week. I was just waiting to tell you."
Harry was interrupted by a bugler
playing Roast Beef of Old England.
Smiling, they got ready for
dinner.
