Chapter 18A
Not long after Gringotts accepted their emancipation papers and their family's vaults and properties reverted to them, the door to their rooms was thrown open while Draco was in Defense with Slytherin and the rest of Gryffindor.
Harry gulped; standing there filling the doorway was the Headmaster, "Pro…professor…"
Dumbledore looked him over, in a voice like the dead, "So it's true then. Harry, what were you thinking? Malfoy? Especially now?"
Harry wrapped his arms protectively around his stomach, "Things changed while you were gone Professor. I love Draco, just as my mother loved my father. Though I'm young to have a child and this is probably the worst of times to bring one into the world, this baby is loved and we want her. We're engaged and planning a future together." He'd voiced his concerns before about Draco most likely being a Death Eater and felt compelled to say something, "He isn't a Death Eater anymore."
"My dear boy, you'll be even more of a target right now," Dumbledore grumbled as he began pacing.
"Don't you think I know that?" Harry said taking a tone very similar to when he broke things in Dumbledore's office after Sirius was murdered and screamed at him. "So will he, everyone will assume he either raped me or is trying to get my to join Voldemort's ranks! I don't care I really love him."
"You know you have to return to the Dursleys, for your own safety! You can't have a child now. Are you out of your head?"
"NO! You said as long as I see the Dursleys' house as a home, my mother's protection will protect me. I haven't ever! It's not home! It's HELL!" Harry used the spell that banished his clothes to the floor, ending the glamour he'd weaved into his magic to hide his terrible secrets- his scars. "Why would I want to return to a place were there are people that would do this to me? That would make me sleep in the kitchen cupboard and then the cupboard under the stairs? They beat me, starved me and locked me in spaces with no light for days at a time! Dobby found me and thought I was safer there then at Hogwarts. Dementors found me, how do you call that place a home or safe?"
"Harry, Harry you just don't understand! You don't see the bigger picture. They were supposed to take care you, they're your family."
"They hate me because I'm a wizard, they swore to beat it out of me! You're supposed to be the wisest of us, why didn't you at least check on me instead of having a squib spy on us? Surely, she tried to tell you something wasn't right. It doesn't matter anymore, I'm not going back, I don't have to."
"You're only sixteen still, you're not truly an adult until you finish school. You must remain with,"
Harry rolled his eyes, "If that was entirely true then Fred and George would be forced to return to school. No, I don't. I'm emancipated. Gringotts has granted me full access to both Black and Potter vaults. I have possession of my properties and ownership of my stocks. I will, just to be safe be drawing up a will soon. I am filling to have the Trace removed. I have engaged a lawyer on behalf of my estate; Draco has been emancipated and granted the Malfoy inheritance by Gringotts. Since he is legally of age and his father imprisoned, he is his own man. Draco is my reason for wanting to fight, I'm fighting for our future."
"You know to defeat Voldemort you have to die."
"I can't think like that. I want to live with Draco and raise our daughter together. I know it's dangerous, was it any less dangerous when my mother had me? Or when Molly brought her seven children into the world? Does my daughter deserve any less a chance? A bright future, close proximity to my soulmate and his tutoring I am getting better at fields of magic such as Potions and History of Magic that gave me trouble. I've helped Draco with some Defensive Magic; he can cast a Patronus now.." He wished Dumbledore could just be happy for him.
"I once loved a wildly talented boy, who had a dark streak running through him. He was expelled from Durmstrang from being too Dark. I was young and naïve, I wanted to change the world with him, I thought I could change him. I believed my love could change him. I learned the hard way that I was terribly wrong, it cost me what was left of my family. My brother hates me and my sister died, I'm not sure who killed her. I don't want to know. I don't want you to feel the same betrayal…"
Harry was too annoyed to feel sorry for him, "I'm not you. Draco isn't this person. We're different; he forgave me for nearly killing him. He's my rock, the person I can lean on. He accepts me scars and all," he shivered, wandlessly summoning a blanket and wrapping it around himself. "Hermione can accept us, why can't you?"
"You're young, you'll learn. I wish you would have considered that it was too dangerous to have a child. Really Harry, you shouldn't even think about children now of all times. You can't focus on your training if you're worrying about a baby or trying to keep Draco out of trouble." Dumbledore glared.
"Draco and Iris are my family, it doesn't matter if she isn't born yet or that we haven't been officially bonded yet. I will protect my family: from Voldemort, from Draco's parents and his aunt, and even from you. I don't want to be just a weapon; I don't want to be destined to die. I've been researching prophecy; it's not always a hundred percent accurate. The prophecy that you hold so much stock in, you admitted that the Boy Who Lived who was to be marked by Voldemort as his equal could have been Neville or myself. That means that I still have some control of my future. I want to live, for my friends but most of all for Draco and our daughter."
"Don't be foolish! I'm just trying to look out for you."
"Looking out for me? You want me to end my pregnancy! Are you insane? I've had her growing inside me almost four months, I've bonded with her."
"You've only known for a few weeks, you know you can't raise a child right now."
Harry's wand flew into his hand, "GET OUT! YOU AREN'T WELCOME HERE! NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO DECIDE A CHILD DOESN'T DESERVE TO LIVE! I WANT MY BABY!" his magic crackling around him, "GET OUT!"
Dumbledore backed out of the room, "Soon my dear boy you'll see I'm right. Draco has a task he's been entrusted with. Has he told you about?"
Harry growled, "What my fiancé and I discuss in private is none of your business. You are not welcome. Leave."
As the door closed on the Headmaster, Harry threw up a magical barricade only Draco could pass. Wrapping his arms around himself, he slid to the floor and started to sob. A man he respected wanted his child dead, their baby they conceived when Draco made love to him the first time. He wanted Draco…
