"Professor … Kamia?" Harry followed closely behind Luna and rushed into Lovegood and Mrs. Lovegood's bedroom. The urgency in his voice made Ginny look at him strangely.
However, Harry only paused for a moment before rushing to Kamia's bedside.
Kamia had indeed fainted, and she did not look well.
Her unkempt hair fell messily next to her pale face, and her eyes were tightly shut.
Her lips were pale.
What frightened Harry even more was the conspicuous belly under her eyes.
Luna took Kamia's hand that was lying on the blanket and gave her a gentle push.
However, Kamia did not react at all.
"What's wrong with Mrs. Lovegood?" Ginny could not help but ask.
Harry touched Kamia's other hand and felt a little cold.
He said to Ginny, "Molly — Ginny, go downstairs.
Use Luna's fireplace to go home and call your mother. "
Go get your mother to come here, "said Mo Li, who had given birth to seven children and thus had some experience in taking care of pregnant women.
"I'll go to St. Mungo and call …"
Before Harry could finish his sentence, Molly's voice interrupted him. "No need.
I'm here. "
The red-haired, plump Mrs. Weisles appeared at the door of the bedroom with an elderly witch.
The three children in the room looked happy.
They felt a little relieved.
"This is Mrs. Barker of St. Mungo." Mrs. Weisles walked past Ginny and Harry and pulled Luna into her arms and hugged her tightly. "Good girl, don't be afraid. Kamia will be all right." The witch's voice was gentle and firm, and Harry and Ginny could not help but lean against her.
Mrs. Barker also gently comforted Luna, and then skillfully used a magic spell to check Kamia's body.
Luna looked at the light of the magic spell and asked Mrs. Weisles, "Where's my father?"
Harry also looked back at them with the same doubts. Mr. Lovegood should not be absent at this time.
"Xenophilius just rushed to our house and called me over. It seemed that he was looking for someone else …"
"Kamia!" This time, it was Mrs. Weisles who was interrupted. Xenophilius Lovegood was shouting Kamia's name as he dragged a man in black into the room. The latter scared Harry out of his wits.
Snape was also in a bad mood because Xenophilius had forcibly dragged him over from a pot of improved wolfsbane soup that might have worked. Yes, Kamia and Lovegood were his colleagues. Yes, he was the best potion master of this century, but he did not specialize in obstetrics and gynecology, okay?!
And the moment he entered the room, he saw Potter's brat, sh * t.
But since he was already here, Snape went straight to Kamia's bedside and asked Mrs. Barker a few questions in a low voice. Then, he took out a bottle of magic potion from his robe and asked Mrs. Barker to pour it down Kamia's throat.
Xenophilius was nervous and wanted to squeeze in, but Molly pushed him out of the door. "That's enough, Xenophilius. Don't disturb them while they check Kamia's body." She then patted a few children who were looking at them. "You guys go out too. Don't be afraid."
Harry also knew that it was inappropriate to have so many people in the room, but he still asked, "What's wrong with Professor Kamia?"
"You guys go out first. I'll tell you later." Molly still drove them out, leaving the three children and Xenophilius, who kept rubbing his hands, standing at the stairs and staring at each other.
Seeing that everyone was nervous and silent, Ginny's stomach growled at the right time. Then, Harry and Luna suddenly remembered why they had come to Lovegood's house.
Fortunately, although Mr. Lovegood was acting up, he was still a father. When he found out that Luna and the others had not eaten, he rushed downstairs to make lunch for them. Harry followed him and saw that his hands were shaking like someone in the late stages of Parkinson's. He quickly took over.
Seeing that Harry could cook, Ginny was very interested and joined in the fun. As for Lovegood and her father, they were all squatting at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for the news.
Lovegood's kitchen was well-stocked with ingredients, but Harry, who was starving, did not want to make any trouble. He directly fried a large pot of noodles with bacon and eggs. When he came out with the noodles, Mrs. Weisles came out to announce the news.
Xenophilius was the first to come forward and ask, "How is she?" The children were not in a hurry to eat the noodles. They all pricked up their ears.
Molly's face was a little solemn. She stopped smiling and said, "She's awake." Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Molly continued, "But the baby is very unstable. It seems that the fetus is having a magic riot. Mrs. Barker is thinking of letting Kamia give birth to the baby now. Severus is making a magic potion for her to replenish her magic power."
After saying this, Molly looked at Xenophilius and asked, "What do you think?"
"What do I think?" Xenophilius did not seem to be fully awake. He shook his head and asked, "Is Kamia in danger?"
Molly pursed her lips and said, "She drank the magic potion. She's better now. But considering that the fetus' magic riot may hurt the mother, Mrs. Barker suggests giving birth to the baby now... "
"Now?" Xenophilius seemed to be frozen in fear.
"Yes, the baby may be a little small, but considering Kamia's physical condition..."
Xenophilius took three deep breaths and squeezed out a complete sentence. "But we haven't bought the baby's clothes yet!"
The baby's clothes were not urgent. Molly said a few words and went back to help Mrs. Barker deliver the baby. Not long after she went in, Snape came out with a list written by Mrs. Weisles. He handed it to Xenophilius to prepare what they might need later.
The three babies were starving and were not in a hurry to eat the noodles. They leaned over to see if there was anything they could help with. However, the list was nothing more than hot water, towels and the like. Xenophilius, who had woken up, hurried to prepare it. Harry then asked everyone to sit down and eat the noodles.
While eating the noodles, Harry was still thinking about Kamia's baby, which was almost two months premature. He wondered if Voldemort would be congenitally deficient. As he ate, he looked up and saw Snape still sitting beside him. He choked on the noodles.
"Cough... cough... Professor Snape?"
Harry was surprised that the busy Snape had not left yet. Snape was annoyed by Harry's stare and wondered why he did not leave just now. Well, it seemed that when he was about to leave, everyone in the room was busy worrying about Kamia...
"Uh, Professor, do you want some noodles?" Harry sensitively noticed Snape's annoyance and cleverly planned to use food to divert his attention.
When Harry was cooking the noodles, he had specially cooked two more plates. Now, he could serve one to Snape. Harry had cooked the noodles for Snape in Spidertail Alley before. He knew that it tasted good, so he also sat down at the table.
Fortunately, Luna and Ginny had not yet entered the school and did not know about Snape's reputation in the Hogwarts. Even if they knew some things, they did not feel much about the real lethality of the Slytherin Snake King. Therefore, they did not feel anything special about eating lunch with Snape.
Harry, on the other hand, looked upstairs from time to time and stole glances at Snape. He wondered if Snape would be able to recognize his former boss.
After lunch, they still did not leave. Xenophilius entered the delivery room. Snape sat in a corner with a dark face and read a book. Harry and the other two sat in another corner and whispered while listening to the movements upstairs.
Ginny had never experienced such a situation before. She was a little scared by the tense atmosphere and whispered, "Why do I feel that giving birth to a baby is very painful..."
Luna's face turned even paler. "I know that there will be a lot of blood."
Harry knew more than them, but he was a boy after all. Besides, he was embarrassed to explain to two underage girls such a mysterious thing like giving birth. He could only comfort them dryly. "Don't be afraid. She will be fine."
That should be the case. That guy wasn't an ordinary person, was he?
The awkward and tense atmosphere lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon. Upstairs, Kamia really moved. The three children huddled together. Only then did they truly feel how terrible giving birth was.
The incessant screams downstairs, basin after basin of bloody water being brought out, and the uneasy expressions on Xenophilius and Molly's faces … All of these caused the three children to be in a state of panic. They kept praying to Merlin. Snape, who had never been able to focus on books, took out a set of equipment that he always carried with him, and began to concoct some magic potions that might be of use. Seeing this, Harry also went over to help cut the ingredients for the magic potions. He felt that he needed to do something to calm himself down.
Luna and Ginny, who could not help much, could only comfort each other and distract each other.
This child was not easy to give birth. Kamia seemed to have fainted once in the middle. Xenophilius came down to get a blood tonic. Harry took the opportunity to ask about Kamia's situation. Xenophilius just shook his head. "The child is restless."
It would be strange if the child could be restless, Harry thought.
Snape, on the other hand, was a little surprised at Harry. Why was Potter's son so concerned about Mrs. Lovegood?
It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that the exhausted people heard the cries of the newborn.
Harry, who was lying at the table and about to fall asleep, suddenly woke up. Luna and Ginny also looked at each other and wanted to rush upstairs. However, they were stopped by Mrs. Weisles, who had expected this.
Although the warm-hearted lady was also very tired, the smile on her face was obvious. She waved her hand at the children and said softly, "Don't disturb Kamia. She is tired and needs to rest."
If she was just tired, then she was fine. Harry breathed a sigh of relief and turned to another topic. Ginny had already helped him ask, "What about the baby?"
Molly smiled and said, "The baby is fine. Although a little small, she is still healthy."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Although Harry was still feeling rather uneasy, he felt much more at ease. However, Mo Li's next words made him stumble and fall onto the ground in front of the stairs.
Mo Li held Luna's hand affectionately and said with a smile, "You're such a good girl. You have a younger sister now!"
