Chapter 12

Malfoy sighed as he woke up from his little nap. He'd been watching Harry as he slept. Everything running through his mind. Now they were about to find out if this was really what they thought; or what he felt it was... "Harry," he called softly, nudging lightly, "Babe...its time to wake up..."

Harry woke slowly, "I don't feel good...Dray..." he felt weak and his stomach was little queasy. "Please tell me there are potions, I want to finish our year..."

Malfoy started to feel uneasy again, "we need your cloak," apparently the room was able to call that too. The blond didn't want to run into any professors on patrols. He stood, "can you stand?"

Harry held onto Draco's hand, "If you hold me up, I can try. We'll have to tell Snape...McGonagall will be upset. I don't think I should be flying...they are in charge with Dumbledore gone all the time." he was scared, but he had Draco and Draco wasn't leaving him.

Malfoy picked Harry up, noticing how light the other was in his arms. That couldn't be healthy..."You're right...they'd probably already noticed something different about you but just didn't understand what it is..." he stepped into the hall, making sure his steps were quiet.

Harry rest his cheek on Draco's shoulder, holding onto his boyfriend's robes. "I'll have to tell Hermione...she'll worry if she finds out from anyone else. Hopefully, they'll stop trying to play matchmaker now."

"She still won't like me," Malfoy smiled, "the weasel may think this was all a joke or something...Snape may have a heart attack."

Harry smiled, "She'll have to learn to like you if she has any hope of being a godmother to our future children. I trust 'Mione...she's been there for me more then Ron. Ron's friendship has always been conditional..." his voice trailed off, "Snape...doesn't like me much. I hope he won't be too angry. I understand why he hates me..."

"She loves you and will love the kids...its just me she'll have a disdain feeling for," Malfoy gave them a privacy charm, "he doesn't hate you...he just...dislikes you?"

"He hates me...I'm my father's son. A glory seeker. He sees my bully of a father in me. I thought my dad was a hero...only to find out he was just a man with faults sometimes bigger then most. Remus was perhaps the most honest. Hagrid and Sirius glorified him...I saw a memory of Snape's he hated me for seeing once. He'll probably blame me for this. He is still punishing me for my attack on you. He won't understand. He is the Half Blood Prince...it was his book I was using...he made that spell..."

"That's...unbelievable...but...he cares a lot for me, and I care a lot about you and take full responsibility for this..." Malfoy knew things about Snape that Harry would be shocked to find out. Like how he really felt about the late James Potter...

"If you say so...You probably know him better then I do." Harry didn't feel well enough to argue. He saw the infirmary door, "Finally..." he paled, "Oh...I can't go back to the Dursleys...I'll have to run away. They're Muggles...they wouldn't take my pregnancy well." He shook, they'd beat and starve him until he lost it...

"I thought we decided before, you were not going back there...I was thinking...even though you may not want to but...what about staying at the house you got from Sirius?"

Harry shook his head, "It's...being used...the occupants...wouldn't approve. They'll see your father in you...they wouldn't see you. They'll probably think...you raped me or something. I want this baby...but...what are we going to do?" he clung to Draco, "I'm scared..."

"It's okay Harry, we don't have to figure this all out in one day...lets just take this one step at a time okay," he opened the door and saw a light on in Madam Pomfrey's office. This was it...

Harry blushed, this was going to be awkward... "I'm trusting you...to keep helping me stay sane..."

Madam Pomfrey stood to pour herself more tea when he heard footsteps. She opened her door, "Malfoy? What is it..." She was shocked to seeing him...

Malfoy gave a nervous cough, "well...I...have a special emergency situation that needs your attention," he finished.

"Oh really and what would that be young Master Malfoy? You do realize it is nearly curfew..."

Harry was shaking in the cloak, he was only sixteen...this...was too much...

Screw this Malfoy thought and decided to get right to the point, "I think I got my boyfriend pregnant and I don't know how it happen; it just did, but we're not really sure, so, we're here..." He let out a small sigh. That wasn't THAT hard...

"Your boyfriend? Pregnant? That shouldn't happen...unless you fed him the potion. I doubt Severus would brew it for you...or that you could. I know Slughorn wouldn't. Who is the boy?" Just who would Malfoy being seeing? Obviously in secret, who was he that close to? She'd assumed he was seeing Ms. Parkinson. It couldn't be Crabbe or Goyle...Zabini maybe?

Harry was so embarrassed...

Malfoy glanced at Harry, "you won't believe this but...," he waited for the other's signal to remove the cloak...

Harry slowly, poked his head out of the cloak, "Hi Madam Pomfrey..." his cheeks flushed with embarrassment but he was very pale otherwise...paler then Draco...

"Harry Potter? Oh..." her hand over her heart, "Set him down on one of the beds. He doesn't look so good."

Malfoy did as he was told, "I gave him something to let him eat without throwing up earlier...that wouldn't hurt the...child could it?" He was a ball of nerves and the last thing he wanted was to hurt the baby...

Pomfrey fussed about, pulling out her wand. "He's malnourished. Morning sickness...the pregnancy is straining his magic."

Harry but his lip, "It...that nausea lasts longer then just the mornings...until Draco gave me the potion...I hadn't kept anything down in three days. I've been sick a week...I ran out of nutrition potions...energy ones too." he grabbed Draco's hand, scared, "It's gone...I didn't realize it wasn't working anymore..." his glamour had shut off...probably when he fainted...

Malfoy held on to Harry hand, caressing his thumb across it, "so...it is a baby..."

"What did you think it was? Children having children...always one couple a year. Never expected you two. Seriously, you've been at each other's throats for years. What Harry needs is rest, special potions diet and the right food."

Harry bit his lip, "Can I go to classes?"

"He's not showing so it should be okay right? Plus school is almost over...with the robes and the right charm; won't it be okay?"

Pomfrey sighed, "If he wasn't showing signs of severe malnutrition and weakening easily. His body is having a hard time adjusting to being pregnant. he is..." she used a quick spell, "Just barely over two months, nearly nine weeks hard to judge exactly."

Harry blushed, nine weeks...that was...when they had sex the first time right? oh...this was...he asked softly, "How did this happen? I only know of a potion that lets males get pregnant...but I didn't take one...

"Plus this was way before I started looking into it," Malfoy admitted, "we at least wanted to wait when...we didn't have certain elements to deal with or complicate our lives," Malfoy ran his other hand through his hair, "...so the only option we have is Harry getting rest and building his strength up, no class until then...does that mean he stays here?"

Pomfrey clucked her tongue, "accident then? I know Slughorn wouldn't be brewing male pregnancy potions. I doubt even Severus would teach them. There is one other possibility...there is a old wives tale about two wizards...that if they are soulmates, true soulmates their magic compatible then they are able to conceive...but it hasn't been proven. Let me check something." she muttered a charm, "No trace of the pregnancy potion. He really needs rest. He shows signs that this nutrition issue is not new. Don't know why I didn't notice before. You've been in here plenty young man." fixing Harry with a penetrating look.

Harry gulped, then gasped when she brought the concept of soulmates. "I'm sorry...I didn't want anyone to know...I was...embarrassed..." He whispered, she was upset that his heath hadn't been what she thought it was…

Malfoy tried his best to look any where but the other two. It was hard to admit to himself, that, in fact, he had heard the same thing from an old man a long long time ago...

Madam Pomfrey sighed, "You do know I will have to inform your Head of house respectively and the Headmaster. I should inform your mother Mr. Malfoy. Though I doubt informing your relatives would be appropriate they are Muggles correct Mr. Potter?"

Harry nodded, "I expected you'd have to tell Snape and McGonagall. I'll have to resign as Seeker right..." not that Snape's detention would let him play in the next game...

"I'm sorry but my parents can't find out," Malfoy's eyes widened, "if they know something bad may happen to Harry.." He didn't care about the Professors knowing but his family could not find out about this...

Pomfrey snorted, "Should have thought about that before. Seriously, children having children..."

Harry nodded, "please…don't tell Mrs. Malfoy…she's got enough problems with Mr. Malfoy. I don't want her worrying about Draco. I know I can't go back to the Dursleys…not if I'm pregnant. They won't understand…"

"Fine but I am informing your Heads of House and the Headmaster when he returns." Pomfrey stalked off to summon Minerva and Severus respectively.

Draco ran a hand through Harry's messy hair, "I'm so glad you're okay..."

Harry squeezed Draco's hand, "I...don't like the thought of having to miss classes...but I know I need rest..."

Minerva was being tugged into the Infirmary by Pomfrey, "Poppy, what is the matter? Why all the secrecy?" her eyes widened seeing Draco and Harry, "Not again..." then she realized that...they were behaving remarkably different.

Pomfrey sighed, "We should wait for Severus...since it concerns his student as well..."

Snape rushed into the infirmary, not one liking to leave his class unattended, "What is all this abo-" he took one look at Malfoy then Harry, and their hands. He turned to Madam Pomfrey, "What..." not sure how to ask...

Pomfrey let out a sigh, "Oh good you're here. It seems that your two most infamous students have been keeping a secret. They've been seeing each other and by some quirk of fate and not potions, Malfoy managed to impregnate Potter."

Minerva gulped, "What? That's impossible...!"

Snape braced himself against the nearest wall, then stood straight again. He knew he wouldn't be call for just anything, so this couldn't be a joke, "...how far along is he?"

"He's nine weeks..," Draco answered unsure of what was going to happen to them next.

Minerva gasped, "Isn't that not soon after you were injured in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom?" how could they go from trying to kill each other to lovers so quickly?

Pomfrey tapped her shoe, "He's showing signs of severe malnutrition. Morning sickness is very hard on him. I recommend bed rest and a strict diet with plenty of potions. I know you aren't our potions instructor anymore Severus but Potions for this type of male pregnancy I would only trust a Potions Master of your caliber. I think their connection that allowed their pregnancy will require them to stay in close contact."

"Close contact? What do you mean Madam Pomfrey?." Harry was almost afraid to hope...

Snape pinched his nose. It wasn't like he could say no. This was... "I...I'll make them and give send them to you," he said to Madam Pomfrey. Potter should be well enough to go to some of his classes...he doesn't have to come to mine, though," he finished; his nerves couldn't deal with a pregnant Harry. Potter..

"Does that mean we'll be staying somewhere together on the grounds, or just in here?" Malfoy asked.

Minerva remembered herself, "It has long been Hogwarts' policy to house married students in private rooms. Given the current situation I guess that is our best choice. If he attends any classes he must attend with Draco. I don't think their attending classes with Slytherin would be smart. Harry should drop Potions for now or at least not attend. Some ingredients I believe are harmful to pregnant persons. History of Magic will be fine. Not sure about Charms or Transfiguration. Harry can probably do theory but not practical. He can continue Defense if he does mostly essays if he still wishes to be an Auror."

Pomfrey nodded, "Private rooms will be fine. I am not an expert in male pregnancies. We will have to arrange for a private Healer. I don't mind if he does mostly essays until he is healthier but using his magic should be limited. I believe it is what is allowing the pregnancy."

Harry grinned, "I get to stay with Draco?" Somehow missing classes didn't seem so bad...even if it was just temporary...

"That was what she said," Malfoy smiled back only to straighten it when he locked eyes with Snape. He was sure this would be the thing to make him fall to the curse, the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts position.

Pomfrey muttered, "Their rooms should be near the kitchens...that is best. He'll need all the access to nutrition he can get."

Minerva smiled, "Or we could just assign Dobby. I'm sure he would enjoy being at Harry Potter's beck and call. Not sure about his reaction to serving a Malfoy."

"It...won't be the first time," Malfoy added.

Snape shot him a look. "With the present circumstances it is decided no parents will be called about this..." There was no way in hell the Malfoys were going to hear about this. It would be too dangerous for both Malfoy and Potter.

Minerva nodded, "I believe there is a suite of rooms near the Kitchens that we can escort you to later. I'll have Dobby put your things there. It would probably be best for Potter if Malfoy spent the night here with him. You should stay until Poppy says he is stable. Malfoy, you are excused from attending my class until Harry is cleared by Poppy to return to class. Though you are still responsible for keeping up with the reading and essays."

Pomfrey toyed with her wand, "If I receive the proper potions soon then Potter might be able to leave in two or three days. I'll need that much time to stabilize him. If he faints or feels ill I want him brought here immediately. No waiting. I mean it Malfoy."

Harry blushed, smiling at Draco, "We get to share rooms? I'd like that..." Draco had a comforting presence...and he felt safer with Draco around...

"I'll get on it as soon as classes are done, they should be ready before the dinner," Snape nodded, "Malfoy I'll need to speak with you later," he nodded and looked back at Madam Pomfrey, "there should be a book in your office that can help me..."

Malfoy nodded to Madam Pomfrey, "I understand and I promise my grades won't drop." It felt like a weight lifted off his shoulders…

Madam Pomfrey nodded, "You are welcome to look through the books in my office. Minerva, would you rather locate the Healer for Potter or should I?"

Snape seemed to disappear after that.

Minerva shook her head, "Healing is under your purview. You should arrange for a private Healer. Preferably someone who is trustworthy, given the sensitive nature of the child's parentage..." she called out, "Dobby...might as well get this over with."

The house elf popped up, and almost gasped, "Yes, Madam," he looked around shaking. What was this all about...?

Minerva tried to smile at him, "I need you to retrieve Potter and Malfoy's things. They are to be taken to the rooms between the kitchens and Severus' office. They are behind the statue of a gargoyle. Should be easy enough to find. You are also since you are being paid by the school to have new duties. It seems by some miracle Potter is expecting a child. You are to get him anything he needs. If he is ill and you are called for you are to take him directly to Madam Pomfrey. For his safety and Malfoy's you are not to tell anyone of his pregnancy."

Pomfrey went to go to the kitchen and arrange for certain foods to be sent to the infirmary for Harry and Draco. She'd give Draco a calming draught later.

Harry nervously attempted to smile at Dobby, he did sort of like the elf. Dobby had been helpful a time or two...

Dobby gasped but quickly sealed his lips, "Yes Madam, Dobby understand he must tell not one soul about this," he disappeared away to his new job.

Malfoy glanced at Harry and for the first time in a long time felt that everything would really work out for them.

Minerva sighed, "You do have a habit of surprising us Potter. Please try to keep them to a minimum now. Do be careful. There will be many angry with both of you for this. Tell only those you can trust."

Harry snuggled against Draco, "It's going to be okay right..."

Malfoy fought a smile, "Of course it will be...and he will be careful," he told the professor.

Minerva nodded briskly, "I'll be heading out to dinner. Do you want me to send Ms. Granger? She was expressing worry because you missed classes."

Harry glanced at Draco, "Do you think it would be okay to tell her now or wait?"

"I'm fine with whatever you're up too," Draco answered holding on two Harry's hand..

Harry bit his lip, "We'll have to swear her to secrecy first...we'll decide about Ron later. I can't keep it from him for long." He glanced up at Minerva, "Go ahead and send Hermione. Don't let Ron come though...I can't tell him yet.."

Minerva nodded and left them.

Malfoy let his hand drop to Harry's stomach, "I...can't believe this is happening..."

Harry nodded, "Neither can I...it's sooner then I wanted but knowing you still want to stay with me means a lot. Thank you for coming when I called." he covered Draco's hand with his own, "Our baby..." he whispered, "I can't believe I didn't realize it before. Do you really think we conceived the first time we made love?"

"Why wouldn't I want to stay with you?" he frowned, "you have a part of me in you too, you know." He thought over Harry's question, "she said nine weeks...even though it feels like we've been together longer then that..."

Harry nodded, "We've known each other for ages...just haven't been friends or lovers that long..."

Hermione burst in, "Harry..." her eyes widening when she saw how Harry was practically curled up in Malfoy's lap. Harry's hand was on top of Malfoy's resting on his own stomach. She stammered, "What is going on? Why is Malfoy here? Why did McGonagall tell Ron he couldn't come?"

Malfoy looked to Harry, "do you want to explain this, or do you want me to?" his version would be much shorter but, it may be better for her to hear it from Harry...

Harry bit his lip, squeezing Draco's hand, "I'll...tell her. 'Mione...you might want to sit down..."

Hermione nodded dumbly bringing a chair to sit next to Harry's bed. "Talk."

Harry said quietly, "Remember how upset I was after Draco and I ended up dueling in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom? How upset I was because I thought I killed him?"

Hermione kept silent but nodded again.

"I...apologized twice...the second time...it ended better. We discovered that being near each other calmed us both. We've been lovers ever since."

Hermione gasped, "Lovers? You've been sneaking around to see Malfoy? But Harry...I thought you were convinced he was a Death Eater. He was planning something...that Snape was involved."

"I've been a lot of things to all of you in the past, that's true, I couldn't stand any of you...but things have a way of working themselves out in some unconventional ways...like us," he motioned to him and Harry.

Harry smiled at his lover, "Yes...they did work out...I think I was obsessed with Draco because deep down I liked him. He cares for me..." he caressed the mark on Draco's arm lightly, "He knows all of my secrets...including the shameful ones and doesn't judge me for them. He came when I called...I was ill and passed out. Draco found me and helped me..." he was still wary about mentioning the pregnancy.

"You were a jerk. You've been awful. But you have been acting differently like that time when we crashed into each other." her eyes widened, "Change of heart...you meant Harry didn't you?"

"This may be hard to believe but, I'm in love with Harry," Malfoy stated, his eyes shined with fondness, "I love him and I don't plan on leaving his side..."

Hermione stared, the Malfoy mask was gone and there was genuine emotion in Malfoy's face. She sighed, "Alright. I'll believe you. Now tell me why Harry was ill and why Ron can't come see you?"

Harry gulped, "You...see...well...it seems...that...Draco and I...are soulmates. We...accidentally...got pregnant..."

Hermione fainted.

Malfoy gasped and called for Madem Pomfery. Thankfully Hermione fainted in her chair.

Harry sighed, "I'd probably react the same way if Colin said he was pregnant..."

Pomfrey managed to arrive in time with Winky who was carrying a tray of food...

"I'd ask for proof," Malfoy added as the other two came in.

Harry smiled, "You're right. Poor 'Mione...she's a Muggle-born. She probably didn't know wizards could get pregnant..."

Pomfrey took a deep breathe, "Told her you were pregnant, I guess." she levitated Hermione onto one of the other beds. "I'll have to treat her for shock."

Winky set the tray down. "Call Winky when you're done eating."

Malfoy thought about how he would react if Crabbe said he was having a kid...he stopped himself from shuddering. He picked up some and took a bite, "up to eating again?"

Harry sighed, "I know I have to eat…because of the baby….so I'll have to try…"

Malfoy got in a better sitting position on the bed and smirked at Harry, "want me to feed you again...?"

Harry smiled, blushing, "I still don't have much energy...hopefully those potions Snape gives me will help. I sort of liked it..."

Pomfrey tried to make Hermione comfortable, glaring at them, "You should have managed to tell her without making her faint. Seriously, children..."

"He said it better then I would have," Malfoy said, "anything involving me with Harry would make anyone faint from shock, since the track record is like ours.." Malfoy raised a spoonful of soup to Harry and whispered, "the weasel may shit his pants..."

Harry barely managed to avoid choking and burst out laughing after he swallowed his soup, "He'll be mad...he will probably be uncomfortable. We should leave out the bit about Seamus, Colin and Neville." he said softly. "So...how did you guess about Neville? Never asked..."

Malfoy chuckled, "you start to pick up on a lot of things when you look for faults in other...he...like to watch others…not like that kid who worships you, but…he had a habit of staring at guys..."

Harry blushed, "Did you ever catch me staring at guys before we were together? I tried not to watch Cedric. Do you think Neville has anyone? If anyone deserved to be loved it's him. His poor parents, I saw them once. They don't even know him...his grandmother is overbearing but I'm sure she cares. She reminds me of McGonagall."

"He will...one day; with or without help," Malfoy started to feed Harry again, "...and maybe its not just 'you' whose hungry..." he suggested with a raised eyebrow.

Harry smiled, "Our baby probably is too. I don't feel as sick when you're around. Do you think that is normal?"

Madam Pomfrey poked her head in, "I expect you and Granger to take the calming draughts Malfoy. Don't keep Potter up too late. You know he needs rest…"

"Yes, ma'am," Malfoy nodded before turning back to Harry, "it may be since we are soul mates," he smiled. Once all the food was gone he called for Winky to get the tray. She took it with a nod and went her way. he really didn't feel up to taking anything but Draco doubted Madam Pomfrey would let him slide...

Harry snuggled, "I'm glad we're soulmates. It explains how we fit and calm one another right." he rubbed his stomach, "Guess we'll have to do some research on pregnancies...especially male to see what to expect." he was overwhelmed that he was Draco's soulmate and the carrier of their child...

"And we have plenty of time for that so no worrying okay," he said taking out his wand, "what do you want to sleep in?"

Harry smiled, "I'm not worrying, just want to know what to expect. I can't wait to find out what we're having." he leaned back against Draco, "A nightshirt and shorts would be nice. I'm glad I get to be close to you all the time now."

Malfoy put Harry in his cloths and got a nightshirt and pants for himself, "...I still can't believe we are having a baby..."

There was a moan from the bed beside them.

Harry turned, "'Mione? You alright? I didn't mean to upset you. Tried to be gentle..."

Hermione whispered, "Tell its a lie. You can't be...you're a boy Harry. Boys don't have babies..."

"None outside of our world, yes...but it happened with us," Malfoy stated.

Hermione opened her eyes spotted the potion beside her bed and drank it in one swallow. "Ron...oh...I don't know how we can tell him. He'll be so upset. what about your house Malfoy? Snape? This is bad...the whole school will be in chaos..."

Harry sighed, "We'll handle it. Draco won't leave me. I trust him..."

"And our heads know. Our houses can not find out; Harry's saftey may be in more danger. Having a lot of people know, could lead to it getting back to the wrong people," he meant his father or worse; the dark lord..."

Hermione sighed, "How far along are you?"

"About nine weeks...shouldn't show for awhile. Just have to deal with morning sickness...but we get to have our own rooms." Harry said with glimmering eyes.

"And I'll be taking classes with your house after Harry is well enough to go to classes again. I don't know what Snape is going to use for a reason but I don't like the idea of leaving Harry's side," he took his potion as well.

Hermione rolled to face them better, "You'll have to explain yourself to Gryffindor. They'll want to know why Harry is always glued to your side. They won't be happy about this. Ginny and Ron will be so upset, Ginny really likes you Harry and Ron wanted you for a brother."

Harry shook his head, "I never saw Ginny as anything but a little sister, that's why I was so mad when I thought you tried to put us on a blind date. If Ron hasn't realized we're practically brothers already it isn't my fault. I'm sure Colin, Seamus and Neville will accept it easier then Ron. I'm sure Dean will be glad I'm not in the dorm anymore." he was worried Dean might be homophobic...

Malfoy checked the cloak, it was close to curfew, "Listen...today has be a lot on all of us, so lets just get some sleep now, okay?"

Harry closed his eyes, "At least I know you won't be leaving me for a while. hold me...I like it when you do."

Hermione watched them, they did have a connection and Draco did seem to care for Harry. Harry acted like he trusted Draco completely. A baby? Now was a very dangerous time for that but Harry seemed to be happy about it. Surely, it wouldn't hurt Harry right? He couldn't go back to the Dursleys if he was pregnant...where would he go and what would Dumbledore say? it took a while for her to sleep with all those thoughts but she did.

Malfoy slid his arms around Harry as the got comfortable to sleep, "Sweet dreams," he whispered before kissing Harry softly, as he closed his eyes...

'always sleep well when you hold me' was Harry's last thought as he fell asleep.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
