Chapter 11
Harry had been sick for a week, he woke up nauseous...and could only keep pumpkin juice and bread down if that. He kept getting sick in Potions, during Transformation and Charms the casting made him exhausted. He walked into the potions and ran out, his hand over his mouth at the smell of something his stomach didn't like.
Malfoy was really getting more then worried. Harry was sick and not the normal everyday cold someone could get. The blond couldn't put his finger on what was wrong. He almost had to glue himself to his seat from running after Harry...
Harry hadn't managed to keep anything down in three days, something he kept from Hermione and Ron who still hadn't figured out the truth about the extent of his illness or that he was seeing someone. Harry was feeling really faint. He leaned against the cubicle wall and whispered, "Draco...help me..." before passing out.
Malfoy was writing when his mark awakened and he shot from his seat. "What the.."
The whole class looked up.
After asking he was excused and without knowing it, found his way to Harry. "Harry," he half screamed before gently taking him in his arms. He was afraid to move him, "Harry…Harry can you hear me," his heart was racing, when could a cold get this bad. He placed a hand on Harry's head as he tried to get him to open his eyes. Malfoy gasped. There it was…that feeling again...
What was this, he wondering as he shook Harry lightly...
Harry was weak and limp, the lack of nutrients was weakening him quicker then it should because of the Dursleys' abusive treatment of him. He was conscious for a second, "Draco...help..." he needed Draco...if Draco was there...he was safe...
Even though it was a big risk, Malfoy somehow got the both of them to the room of requirement. He laid Harry on the bed and conjured up pumpkin juice and bits of chocolate. He sat beside Harry, stroking his hand; trying not to focus on that strange feeling again "Harry..."
Harry slowly woke, his stomach reeling, "Draco..." he called out weakly, he knew he needed to eat...but he couldn't keep anything down. It was like he was allergic to food or something.
Malfoy took a bottle from his pocket, "I was planning on giving you this later but I think now would be good," he placed the small bottle to Harry's lips, "since I don't know what's making you sick, I can at least help you eat and keep the food down..."
Harry asked hoarsely, "What is it..." he trusted Draco but he at least liked to know what he was taking. "Maybe it's take to see Madam Pomfrey...I fainted didn't I..." he had no memory between passing out as he whispered for Draco and waking up here.
"It works like a cold water charm but it takes away the need to want to throw up." Malfoy nodded, "The mark called me to you...if you hadn't changed it no telling how long you would have been there..."
Harry blushed, "I'm glad I changed it then. At least I know you're safe...I need to eat. I ran out of potions...forgot to order more. I never miss meals at Hogwarts." neglecting to mention he did at the Dursleys before he asked quietly, "I might need a little help...I used the last of my strength already..."
"Say no more," Malfoy smiled, "Dobby, please."
The house elf appeared with food in hand, surprising the blond. "..Something told Dobby to always be prepared for Master Potter.' He put the food on the night stand and disappeared.
Malfoy grabbed what looked like soup and, after blowing on a spoon full held it out for Harry.
Harry drank the potion, and then let Draco fed him. He was surprised Dobby showed up with food and attempted a smile. "I don't know what I would do without you. Don't understand how 'Mione hasn't realized how sick I was."
"She may have and thought you drank something tainted like that group of Hufflepuff girls in third year..." Malfoy was trying to focus on Harry and that...feeling he can't figure out...
Harry sighed, "I don't know...she's always been so protective. Like with my Firebolt being checked for jinxes or insisting I not go to Hogsmeade when we though Sirius wanted to kill me."
"Hmm," Malfoy nodded and continued to feed Harry. Some of the soup spilled onto Harry's shirt and Malfoy reach down to wiped it away and gasp, sitting back. "...what," he frowned and placed his fingers on Harry's stomach...He felt something...something strong and...and... "...Harry, h-how long have you been sick...?" This…this couldn't be, he thought, it...it wasn't possible...
Harry was embarrassed when the soup spilled but Draco's reaction scared him, "Dray? What's wrong? I've...only been sick a week. I've been nauseous...I can't keep food down the last few days...and using magic exhausts me. Is that bad..."
Malfoy turned away and rubbed his forehead. "...no, not bad but...you...I...it...if this was different, I'd thought you were pregnant but," he gave a nervous chuckle, "you...you can't be.." He said it more to convince himself but...the symptoms...no way...
Harry blushed, "Pregnant? I can't be right? We didn't use that spell...I haven't taken any potions besides my energy and nutrient potions...though I have taken pain reliever when we got too...eager..."
"But, yeah, you can't be anyway...its not possible..." He sure thought it wasn't. Not without help. He was starting to get scared and nervous. Unsure of everything all at once...But it was no deny what he felt when he touched Harry's stomach...there was life there...Life. A life they created... "...I think you need to see madam Pomfrey.."
Harry said softly, "I'm not a girl...so...I shouldn't have gotten pregnant even though we've had sex a lot. If you think I need to see her...I agree. It's a hell of a way to come out to the school if I am. I hope you'll be safe." he bit his lip, "You'll come with me right? Please? I...am a little scared..."
Malfoy nodded and took hold of Harry's hand, the feeling of someone else coming back to his sense, "this...maybe be nothing but the feeling is just...I don't know...you...we may be expecting..."
Harry said softly, "How can we be expecting? I don't understand? I want a family with you...you know I do...but it's too dangerous. What are you feeling...talk to me..." he was scared...
"I don't what it is...but I've been feeling it for a while...coming from you...right here," he said placing his hand on Harry's stomach, "and it's strong...that's why it's unbelievable, I've only tasted the potion but for you to get it in your system to cause this is...I don't know..."
Harry whispered, "Our baby...is inside me...why couldn't I feel it..." He was having a hard time, coming to terms with the possibility. He was supposed to hunt for a Horcrux with Dumbledore soon…how could he do that if he was pregnant? If he was pregnant, he'd want the baby…despite the danger…he wanted Draco's child…to finally have a family. Was this how his mother felt when she found out she was pregnant? Knowing all the possible dangers and still wanting him?
"Maybe you did but didn't know it…you said you feel drained right? It may be because of they baby….I mean…if it is a baby…"
Harry snuggled, "You'll probably have to carry me. I don't think I can walk. I won't let anyone think you hurt me. You keep my safe…" Draco came when he needed him…that meant a lot…
"We can go between classes and use your Firebolt since I don't want any accidents…" Draco's mind wouldn't let him calm his nerves. He was about to be a father at what could be the worst time.
Harry was confused about the Firebolt, "Aren't we going to see Nurse Pomfrey…"
"You want to go tonight…" Draco sat up, "…we can if you want to…"
"Isn't everyone in class or studying? It is not safe right now…" Harry was scared and waiting wouldn't help. "You're not going to leave me are you…"
Malfoy's grip tighten around Harry, "there is no way I'm doing that...rest for a while and then we can go see Madam Pomfrey..."
Harry kissed him, "Good...I don't know what I'd do if you did..." his hand on his stomach, "I guess...I'll have to tell you what Dumbledore and I have been doing...pillow talk alright...I'm trusting you with something I wouldn't tell Hermione..." he had to tell Draco...about the Horcruxes. He would have to refuse to go...he couldn't put a baby in danger...
Harry kissed him, "Good...I don't know what I'd do if you did..." his hand on his stomach, "I guess...I'll have to tell you what Dumbledore and I have been doing...pillow talk alright...I'm trusting you with something I wouldn't tell Hermione..." he had to tell Draco...about the Horcruxes. He would have to refuse to go...he couldn't put a baby in danger...
"Okay," Malfoy nodded. He wasn't sure if he could tell Harry about the plans he'd been assigned to do...it may be too much with this...unexpected turn of events...
"You know the diary I returned to your father during our second year? It...was a Horcrux...do you know what that is..."
Harry had Draco's full attention, "…yeah, but I've only read about them…"
"HE made them. The diary was one…the Gaunt family ring was another. We're trying to destroy them…he promised I could go with him after the next one. Dumbledore I mean. I don't think I should…not with a baby…" Harry said, telling a Death Eater, reluctant or not about Horcruxes was dangerous…but he had to trust Draco with this one last secret.
"...yeah, I don't think you should either...I didn't think we needed to use protection...if I thought this could happen...I would have.."
Harry blushed, "It's unexpected...and bad timing...but...I want it...is that wrong..."
Malfoy smiled softly, "No there is nothing wrong with that...I…can't help but be curious as to what this little person is going to look like..."
Harry rubbed his stomach, "I hope they look like you..." he'd hate to pass on his terribly messy hair...though his eyes were nice. "You can't go back...if anyone finds out...he'll want you dead...Bellatrix...I don't want her to kill you too..." he was scared about what would happen if the Death Eaters found out.
"I know," Malfoy answered, "but...I...was suppose to do something Harry...something for them that I don't think can be avoided...but don't worry, I'll find a way around that..."
Harry asked softly, "Can you tell me…maybe I can helpd…"
"I think I've burdened you enough for now. Don't worry. I can handle this one…"
"Is it dangerous? Please tell me…I don't want you to get hurt."
"I think we should be more worried about keeping you safe. I'll be fine Harry. I promise okay…"
Harry bit his lip, "Is…it something I'll forgive you for? You aren't one of them anymore…" he rest his hand on the new mark on Draco's arm. "…do you have to…"his reactions were probably hormones, but he didn't know anything about being pregnant. He was a teenage boy, this shouldn't be happening right?
"You trust me right Harry? So trust me when I say I'll take care of it." he said gently, unsure of how to answer Harry without worrying him.
Harry closed his eyes, "Alright...I just worry about you. I wish you'd trust me..." then again he'd kept the Horcruxes to himself...
"I do trust you Harry, I just…you don't need something else to be worried about when it comes to me; that's all."
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
A/N: Harry can alter the Dark Mark due to his connection with Voldy. It was a manifestation of his desire to prevent Voldy from hurting Draco and was accomplished by his wild Magic.
Before you yell at me for it remember in canon he Apparated in a desire to get away from Dudley during a game of Harry hunting, he alters his hair, shrinks ugly sweaters, inflated his aunt and managed to open the cupboard under the stairs to retrieve his trunk without his wand. He has to be pretty powerful to be expected to defeat Voldemort, he just goofs off in class like James instead of applying himself like Lily. He does well in any class he gives full attention to. He rarely pays full attention in Potions, Charms or transfiguration but manages to score decently on his OWLS to continue in them.
This is a joint story and my partner had no problem with the idea when I posed it.
