Chapter 18
By Teddy’s first birthday on April fifth Vivi would be two months old, Scorpius would be nearly eight months, while Harry would be two months from giving birth to his twin boys.
The Aurors had discovered nothing aside from what information Severus and Andromeda had given them.
Harry was absolutely furious, not at Neville of course. Neville had been a good friend and Harry was happy for him.Against Kingsley, Draco and Neville’s objections Harry had decided that they; Harry, Draco and Neville were going shopping.Harry was getting sick of feeling trapped in the Manor, it was actually quite comfortable but he needed to get out and flooing to the shop just wasn’t cutting it.Besides, Andromeda had told him over breakfast that he was too far along to safely be working in his lab…Anyway, it was about time he came out publicly as married or bonded, whatever term one chose to use that implied that he was no longer available.Draco was pouting, “You really think with your attackers still out there that this is safe?”Harry snorted, “It’s not like we’re going alone, we’ll have Neville and Andromeda with us. The boys will stay here of course. We just have to lay out our cover story. Besides, Luna and Dean promised to meet us at the shop this morning remember?”“Oh right, that we’d been fighting an attraction all through out school and when I was supposed to be interrogating you for the Dark Lord to find out who you were, because I recognised you we had sex. I ended up conceiving, Kingsley was informed after I was supposedly arrested that I was pregnant and under veritaserum I told him it was you.”“What about the Room of Requirement?” Neville asked being the devil’s advocate.“Vince was a true Death Eater, Greg and I weren’t. Greg and I had a plan, we were going to pretend to capture you and then turn ourselves in. We were going to have something knock Vince out. Well you know how well my plans always worked.” Draco winced.“Why wasn’t Goyle a real Death Eater?” Neville frowned.“A loyal one joined of their own free will, we were forced. Aunt Bella had a wand to mother’s head, while Uncle Rodolphus had Greg’s mother and Uncle Rabastan had his sister. His father just was almost smug about it…” Draco shrugged.“Well that will be a story for the masses to cry over.” Blaise said drearily, “It’s almost romantic. Seemingly star-crossed lovers destined to be on opposite sides of the war coming together in the darkest of hours and accidentally siring a child. Especially since Draco lied to protect you Potter, first in the Manor and later at Hogwarts. Lying to someone like the Lestranges or even a Crabbe takes nerve.”Draco blushed at the backhanded compliment, “The brave one is your Neville, I heard he defied the Dark Lord to his face and said even if Harry was dead they’d fight to the last man because what Harry fought for, was worth dying for.”Blaise forgot himself and openly gaped at his mate, “You did what?”Neville turned pink, “I had spent all year standing up to the likes of the Carrows, I was a leader of the DA, someone had to and he wanted me resorted into Slytherin. The hat was never going to put me there, because I lacked certain essential qualities. What was he going to do, kill me? I had nothing to lose at the time.”Harry snickered, “What would one have expected after all, you were almost prophecy boy yourself.”Neville blinked, “What?”“We were both born at the end of July to parents who had defied him. He picked me because as a Halfblood we were more equal then you would have been. All you needed was confidence after all.”Blaise smirked, “Well I fully intend to build up his confidence.”Neville leaned into his lover, “I’ll enjoy that cariad…”“I intend to spoil you as well mio tresoro.” Blaise said giving the shy Gryffindor a knee-weakening kiss.“Well if we’re going on this fool’s errand I suggest we leave immediately.” Andromeda sniffed.The party flooed into the shop.Harry slumbling because he was pants at flooing and portkeying only to be caught by Dean.The tall dark former Gryffindor chuckled, "Sorry Harry I'm taken."Harry blushed, "So am I obviously."Dean passed him off to Draco reluctantly, "So Shay says."Draco muttered a brisk acknowledgement of gratitude to Thomas as he wrapped Harry in his arms, "Are you alright?"Harry smiled up at Draco, "I'm fine. The boys are fine. Dean made sure of that."Dean coughed, "I know Shay said you were in love with Malfoy but I didn't believe him until now."Pavarti spoke quietly from Dean's side, "Was this why you were such a terrible date?"Harry blushed, "Maybe? We weren't together then but I did spend a substantial amount of time watching Draco that night but I wouldn't have survive the beginning of the Ball as well as I did with you there Pavarti. I am sorry I was a terrible companion that night."Pavarti squeezed his hand, "I am happy now and so are you. Babies plural right? Dean and I have a daughter Parisa who was born in August. He sent an owl to tell me he was safe after you rescued him. I used a house elf to visit him sometimes but I didn't realise I was pregnant until after the battle...""There is my cousin Teddy, our son Scorpius and our war orphan adopted daughter Vivi. In a few months we'll have Orion and Jaime as well. After that we're taking a break, but we're both happy." Draco said off-handidly as he looked down at his lover.Luna hugged them both, to Draco's surprise, before hugging Neville, "I'm happy to see my letting you go was the right choice. You are happy aren't you Neville?"Neville felt Blaise's arm tighten around his shoulders and leaned closer, a soft smile on his face. "He's very protective and possessive but Blaise really cares for me. We're still trying to find our footing relationship wise, but I'm falling for him Luna. We both want a family together, not as soon as Harry has but soon..."Luna patted his arm, "Neville is special to me Blaise, I knew I wasn't his true love even if he was my first love. Please take care of him."Blaise sniffed distainfully, "I do take care of him."Neville laid his head on Blaise's shoulder, "You do.""If you are quite done," Andromeda snipped, "Harry is pregnant with twins and tires easily. I think you should move along with haste."Luna let Draco thread his fingers with those of Harry's left hand before looping her arm in Harry's right."You have godparents picked out for your twins?" the not quite as airy fairy Ravenclaw asked."Teddy has you and Neville, while Scorpius has George and Seamus and we already asked Bill and Fleur to stand for Vivi. We haven't asked anyone yet for Jaime and Orion. We're still thinking..." Harry said quietly."Are you going to make up with Ron and Hermione?" Pavarti frowned.Dean snorted. "Not likely."Pavarti poked him, "Why not? They were such good friends..."Harry sighed, "I would have to give up Draco and take our children away from him. Despite my history with Ron and Hermione, they aren't worth sacrificing my current and future happiness for."Pavarti chewed on her bottom lip nervously, "You two spent six years chasing each other, I know you both got stuck on opposite sides but I think it's so romantic that you ended up together. No real friend should dictate your choice in significant other. I would never tell Lavender who to love, I might tell her she deserves better but I wouldn't force her to be with someone else."Dean hugged her, "Well like Mrs. Tonks said we should head out. I remember how tired you were that far along."With the exception of Luna and Andromeda, they left the shop in pairs; Harry and Draco, Seamus and George, as well as Dean and Pavarti.It was Pavarti who led them to the baby store."I need to pick up some things for Parisa anyway. She grows so fast..." the former Divination and fashion obsessed ex-Gryffindor witch mused.Draco chuckled, "I noticed that as well. Especially Scorpius and Teddy, Vivi grows a lot slower...""What did you do for Vivi?" Dean asked. "With Teddy you had hand-me-downs,"Draco scowled, "I did not! I've had to send elves to Charlene's for both of them. Some git burned down my Aunt's house so they lost everything. Scorpius was and is still too small to wear Teddy's clothes. Between the two of us, our children will want for nothing. I don't intend to spoil our children with material things but I do want them to know we care enough about them to buy them new things when they need them."Harry tried to defuse Draco's temper before it set off George; hand-me-downs were always a touchy subject with Weasleys. "Actually many of Vivi's clothes come from Neville and Blaise. They bought her many nice things before she was born and still do. Neville won't go out on a date without bring something back for all three of our babies."The announcing of Neville's sweet, giving nature had Pavarti and Luna teasing him.They entered the Rocking Bear still laughing."You're a Malfoy, get out of my shop! The world would be a better place of you had gotten Kissed like your father! I ought to called the Aurors. Someone should see what sort of Dark magic you used on our Saviour."Harry was furious when Draco cringed at the verbal attack. He snarled, "Do you have a mother? Sisters? Kids? A spouse?"The wizard stumbled back, "If you're threatening them, then Malfoy has muddled with yer head."Harry snorted, "I'm not wasting my breath on idle threats. I only asked a question. Now are you too cowardly to answer?"The wizard flinched, "I have a mother, a sister, a wife and two kids why?""Imagine your three most loved out of them in the hands of the Lestranges with wands pointed at their heads. You-Know-Who is threating to kill them if you don't take the Mark. Your first refusal means the Cruciatus, a second would mean the killing curse likely starting with either the weakest or the most precious to you. Now tell me what you would do? Would you fold sacrificing your principles or would you refuse sentencing them to painful deaths? You're nothing but a whiny coward, were you at Hogwarts?"Neville scowled, "No he wasn't. Unlike DA he didn't fight back, he probably kept his head down and tried not to be noticed. He didn't say anything when the infiltrated Ministry rounded up Muggleborns, he isn't saying anything about mistreating Slytherins hell he's joined them. If it weren't for the Malfoys we would have lost, both Draco and his mother saved Harry's life.""Cowards who put taking down that monster on a child's shoulders do not deserve to be parents. I'm a father myself, if anyone told me my daughter was supposed take down a dangerous witch or wizard I'd take them down first. No one should trust a kid like that. If Harry was a different type of guy, he would have said screw you." Dean snarled."You should be ashamed of yourself letting a kid save you." Blaise snapped. "What sort of man are you? I've known the DA members for years, Neville here had the guts to tell the Dark Lord off to his face."The weaselly man shook, "Were you insane?""My parents defied You-Know-Who three times and lived through a disasterous encounter with the Lestranges; what do you think?" Neville said coldly.“What I think,” Pavarti sniffed, “is that we’re better off visiting that shop that Neville frequents. What is it called? Charlene’s?”“Potter can shop here…” the man offered in a shaky tone.“For Malfoy-sired children?” Blaise drawled.The man flinched.“I’ll take that as a no.” Luna glared.They made their way to the Leaky Cauldron known darn well that it would be likely have people inside and that the story of Draco and Harry out together with a mixture of both their Hogwarts’ friends.There were a lot of surprised whispers about Harry and Draco’s appearance together but no one actually approached them when Tom the owner of the Leaky Cauldron agreed to let them use his floo to travel to the Rue de Leon for the cost of 3 sickles.They emerged in a surprisingly familiar location.The Rue de Leon looked very much like Diagon Alley with the added appearance of a Ministry of Magic and what appeared to be a hospital.“Blaise?”Blaise stiffened and then relaxed, “Hello Theo.”The former Gryffindors blinked.Neville frowned, “Nott? What are you doing here?”Theo Nott sighed, “I’m picking up a few things for Ned. I’m his legal guardian, after father’s arrest in the Department of Mysteries we moved to mother’s villa here in France and I transferred us to Beauxbatons. Blaise knows all of this, why didn’t he tell,” the tall caramel-haired former Slytherin frowned, “Draco?”Draco flinched, “Hello Theo…”“I would have thought that you would have been mixed up with the Death Eaters given how prominent your father was in those circles.”Draco muttered darkly, “I defected…”Theo nodded, “I’m glad of that.”“How is Ned?” Blaise asked.“He’s doing better now that our father is out of our lives for good. I heard that he died at Hogwarts. I took control of the estate and title after his arrest, filing for emancipation with the French Ministry. They were kind enough to grant it.” Theo shrugged.Luna beamed at him, surprising her DA friends. “You’re an Auror trainee aren’t you?”Theo nodded, “I live in the barracks but I have some extra privileges because of my custody of Ned. I was clearly nowhere near Hogwarts during the final battle and I was never marked so they had no choice but to allow me to enter the program especially with my NEWT scores.”Draco flinched because he hadn’t taken his NEWT exams yet but he’d planned to like Harry take them with the other Seventh and ‘Eighth’ Year students soon.That is if Harry was cleared to do so…“Well it is nice to see you Blaise, I don’t have much free time due to Auror training but owl me and perhaps we can go for a drink sometime.” Theo said with a wave before walking off.Luna was skipping and humming to herself.Harry nudged her, “Want to tell me something?”“Theo Nott is sexy…” Luna said blushing.The former DA members were stunned, none of them had ever expected to hear the word ‘sexy’ come out of Luna’s mouth.The group made their way to Charlene’s where Blaise and Neville were greeted warmly in French.Blaise introduced the rest of them politely.Andromeda, Draco and surprisingly Dean could speak French as well.The young teenage parents dug through the clothing to find things for their growing babies Teddy, Scorpius, Parisa and Vivi before Harry even got around to finding things for his soon-to-be born twins.Everything Harry and Draco picked out was put in a Packing portkey that would be owled to Malfoy Manor later.Harry was starving and so he invited his friends to lunch and Draco led them to his favourite restaurant that wasn’t that far away where the former Hogwarts’ students played catch up.What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
delia cerrano - You're right that is a lot of babies but thankfully they can both work from home right? As for Vivi there is red-hair in Harry's family because of Lily but they aren't going to be publicising her parentage anyway. I understand your veiw about giving Vivi away, if Harry hadn't taken Vivi to satisfy the life debt that Ginny and the Weasleys owed him then that might have been the child's fate. It is possible that it will lighten as she gets older or Draco might use hair-colour charms on her. Either way she's still going to grow up in a loving home...
staar - Unfortunately, Andromeda takes her duty as a healer quite seriously so she couldn't be derlict in her duties to care for Ginny properly following her c-section. Sometimes severe blood-poisoning can't be cured and Andromeda had little choice but to help Severus wrap up his affairs to ensure that his line continued and that his possible offspring would have something to inherit. Severus was a private man and the idea of having Narcissa try and fail to care for him when he died was not something he wanted to deal with. He wanted to die on his terms even if it hurt Draco, Harry and Narcissa because he didn't know how to say goodbye.
