"The Potters returning," Harry answered. Somehow
they shield themselves so others can't see them. I've seen that
before."
They returned to the dorm and got ready for supper. After
Professor McGonagall made the daily announcements she asked if
there was anything anyone wished to announce. Harry and Hermione
rose.
"Hagrid and Madame Maxime asked us today to perform a
special duty for them. It seems some time around Christmas they
will be having a child and they asked us to be its god parents.
We will be more than honored to be! But I am sure every student
of this school will want to be that child's god sister and god
brother! We hope everyone is as joyous about this news as we
are!"
When Harry finished speaking everyone was looking at each other
in stunned amazement.
Then Ron rose and began to clap and cheer. Instantly everyone
else was on their feet. The applause continued for some time
until the headmistress tapped her glass and motioned everyone to
sit. Then she motioned Hagrid and his lady to stand.
"Thank you!" Hagrid managed as they bowed, "Thank
all of you!"
He sat back down and the headmistress cried, "Let the
banquet begin!"
Somehow everything seemed a little tastier, just a little bit
more delightful. It was a feeling everybody enjoyed!
