Lexx, now back to being Harry, returned to the house many hours later, once he was sure that everyone else had left. Ron was sitting on the couch, tea in hand, though it had gone cold as he stared into the fire. Harry shook his head with a smile and reached down to take the drink away, making the red head jump.
“Oh, it’s just you, Harry,” Ron sighed in relief. “I thought one of the others had come back.” Harry set the tea cup down on the coffee table before moving to add wood to the fire, enjoying the warmth.
“That could have gone better,” Ron groaned.
“It could have gone much worse,” Harry countered. “Your mum could have started throwing hexes instead of punches.” Both laughed, Harry sitting down on the love seat.
“So now that I’ve done all this,” the brunette said, leaning forward some. “With no questions asked, I might add. Will you finally tell me what the hell is going on?”
“Everything you said, you already know,” was the red head’s response. “That’s why I made you memorize the story. I met the guy, we’re going to call him Lexx, we shagged, and a month later I got his owl.”
“And I, I mean Lexx, was supposed to get angry and leave because...?”
“Because that was better than what he had told me.”
“Which was?”
“Oh hey, I’m pregnant, it’s yours, I don’t want it, you ruined my life, you take it because termination isn’t an option,” Ron explained quickly. “In much worse words, of course.”
“Are you sure it’s yours?” Ron nodded.
“We met up at St. Mungo’s and got all the paternity stuff taken care of.”
“Did I even look like the guy?”
“Close enough. Blonde hair, those scales, and he really was part Elf,” he said with a nod. “You got to tweak and choose the name so dad doesn’t use his Ministry connections to try and hunt him down. The same goes for mum scouring the Alley.”
“It was neat,” Harry admitted, smiling. “But I don’t feel like ever doing it again. I value my life, thank you very much.” Once more the two shared a chuckle and Ron agreed not to ask again. With the fire still crackling, Ron retired to his bedroom while Harry stretched himself along the plush leather covered couch. The green eyed male had no intention of going back to his empty flat while he was a more than welcome guest in Ron’s home.
Harry didn’t bother to look up from his breakfast when an owl arrived, the average sized bird settling itself on the back of one of Ron’s empty kitchen chairs. It was becoming normal for the red head to receive an owl from his mother every day, if not multiple times a day. No matter how many times Ron tried to explain that “Lexx” didn’t want anything to do with them anymore, Molly didn’t seem to want to give up.
“She’s going to start sending Howlers soon,” Harry mumbled around a mouthful of bacon, pointing to the owl with his fork. Ron groaned, taking the less far less than enthusiastically.
“No treats,” he told the owl. “You just bring my bad news.” Harry snickered at his friend, knowing Ron would feed the owl anyways.
“What does she want this time?”
“Pictures!”
“Pictures?” Harry echoed, lifting an eyebrow. “Of what?”
“The baby, of course.” The two stared at one another as the thought was processed.
“Are we going to be faking them, then?”
“Naturally,” Ron replied. “I just don’t know how.”
“Do you think “Lexx” would send you pictures?” Harry asked again when several minutes of silence had once more elapsed.
“Yeah right,” Ron laughed. “Maybe if I paid him, and we both know I’m too poor to do that. Maybe if I had a job...”
“Ron...”
“No, Harry,” the red head said quickly. “I’m not taking money from you. It’s bad enough that you gave me this house!”
“What am I going to do with a place this big?” Harry countered, laughing some. “I’m never home, and when I am, I’m sure as hell not going to be entertaining.” Ron glared at his friend but knew what was being said was true. Harry was always busy with work, and he assured everyone that he was quite content in his one room apartment in Muggle London.
“I’m paying you back when I get a job,” he muttered. “Every last Sickle and Knut I owe you. Whether you like it or not!”
“Fine, but until then, you aren’t allowed to turn down the help I offer,” Harry said with a wagging finger. “Now, how much should we be offering?” Both considered how many months were left, how rude “Lexx” had been to Ron (and his family), and how much the blonde might try and haggle.
“I think we should start with two Galleons,” Harry began. “No doubt there will be haggling, and I want to try and avoid going any higher than five.” Ron sighed but nodded in agreement, knowing there weren’t really any other options at the moment. He let Harry pen the letter, mostly so he wouldn’t simply write rude things to the male who was having his child.
“Two Galleons per picture,” Harry repeated. “And I’m going to request that he use St. Mungo’s as his hospital, on your tab, of course.”
“I can’t afford –”
“Ron!”
“Fine! Anything you say, just as long as it gets mum off my back,” the red head sighed. “Just give it to me to sign when you’re done.”
“I should have become an Ambassador for the Ministry,” Harry mused with a chuckle. “This letter sounds rather diplomatic, though it will probably be wasted on HIM anyways.” Ron barely looked the letter over before he signed at the bottom. The ink was barely dry when he rolled the parchment up, quickly giving the owl a few treats before he attached the letter to its leg and sent it off to find the male.
“Now we wait,” Harry said.
“Now we wait,” Ron agreed, heaving a large sigh as he flopped down onto his kitchen chair.
