Dinner was filled with questions about why Harry had wanted to speak to the twins and what they knew about Lily, but Lorcan refused to explain anything, insisting that it was Lily's place to tell them when she was ready, and Lysander kept his eyes firmly on his dinner.
Albus was just about to start another line of questioning when Lysander caved.
"Al, Lily wants you to come up to the medical wing after dinner. We were going to tell you when everyone else wasn't listening in so that they wouldn't start demanding they come too, because she wants to talk to you first."
"Err…right." Was all Al managed amongst the protests from the Weasley family that the twins had predicted
"Also she suggested you come too Scorpius." Lorcan added only increasing the Weasley complaints.
"Me? Why?" Scorpius shared a confused look with Al, who shrugged.
"Lily thinks you might not like what she has to tell you and Scorpius might be needed, and I use her words here, as back up." Lorcan's words had the effect of putting, almost laughably, matching worried looks on all the Weasley cousins' faces.
"Okay I am sure I am not waiting till after dinner, we go now." Al got to his feet, Scorpius followed suit.
Many eyes were starting to turn to watch what was going on; even more turned when Al grabbed the back of the robes of each of the twins and strongly encouraged them to get to their feet. Many people in the room were whispering, this was after all the second time in one day that a Potter had removed the twins from a room.
-#-
As Al approached the medical wing with his boyfriend and the Scamander twins in toe he started to become aware of what sounded like shouting. It was coming from the direction of the medical wing and so he picked up the pace till he was all but running, he recognised the furious voice of his older brother James. Al froze in the doorway when his brain registered the words James was yelling at Lily, who was sitting up in her bed, tears streaming from her red puffy eyes.
"For Merlin's sake, Pregnant? Lily you are fifteen years old, how could you possibly be that stupid. Serious who is he? I am going to kill him." James stopped his barrage when he realised Al was standing in the doorway.
Al's attention was completely on Lily now though; "You're pregnant?" he spoke quietly, finally managing to make his legs work enough to walk over to his siblings.
"You call this protecting her Al? Too busy screwing your boyfriend to realise she was screwing hers?" James had rounded on Al, clearly needing to blame someone.
Al visibly tensed in an effort not to punch his brother and Scorpius looked slightly outraged, moving next to Al, taking his hand, and giving James a stare that all but screamed 'back up if you know what is good for you'. The twins were using all their courage to not run, they were sure that it would only be a short time before that rage would be thrown in Lysander's direction.
"This isn't Al's fault James." Lily had known her James was going to take this badly.
He had always taken his role as protector very seriously. He had all but attacked Scorpius, when he and Al first got together, accusing him of many nefarious means of seducing his little brother, something which Al had never completely forgiven him for.
James had come to Hogwarts immediately upon receiving her letter; upon arriving in the medical wing he had spent the first five minutes telling Lily that this was an incredibly stupid and un-funny joke. It was not until she did the spell used for testing for pregnancy that he finally believed her, which was about the point that her other brother had joined the party.
"Please tell me you at least know who our baby sister has been seeing?" James' voice was calmer, but underneath there was still a very clear message that someone was going to face his wrath today.
Al shook his head, "Sorry, I just didn't know, she is good at keeping secrets, you know that," but at the same time his mind was working over time, remembering what he had told his father earlier about Lorcan, the rumours that his father had pulled the Scamander twins out of their Herbology class, and that the twins had been the ones to bring him here this evening. He turned to face the twin, a questioning look in his eyes, releasing Scorpius' hand he took a few steps towards them.
"You?" Albus' voice was deep and slightly threatening, his eyes not moving from Lorcan, whose own eyes were suddenly wide with fear at the accusation.
James was at the twins before anyone knew what was happening, his Quidditch reflexes obvious, he had Lorcan pinned up against a wall by his neck. Lorcan's hands scrabbled to get James off him but he was no match.
"Please, let him go." Lysander was crying, pulling at James' arms.
"You son of a bitch, she is Fifteen, she is barely more than a child." James was yelling.
"It isn't him, please James him go." Lily was screaming.
It took both Al and Scorpius to release Lorcan, who instantly fell down the wall, so that he was sitting on the floor, rubbing his neck and gasping slightly for air.
Lysander was holding onto his brother's arm as comfort, but his eyes were on James'.
"I am so sorry, I honestly never meant …" Lysander's words were cut short however when Al mimicked James actions earlier and pinned the other twin against the wall.
Standing close together the brother both had their faces up close to Lysander, there was no missing the words that James spat at him, despite the quietness of them.
"I should kill you right here and now for what you have done, but I am going to let you live so that you can face a much worse fate. You will have to explain your actions to all of the Potter and Weasley family, you will spend your life making sure Lily gets everything she wants and you will be the best damned father to my niece or nephew you can possibly imagine. Understand?"
When Lysander nodded slightly both Al and James simultaneously released him, wearing matching smirks when he collapsed to the floor next to his brother.
"What the hell is going on in here?" Professor Longbottom had appeared in the doorway, his eyes going from the Lysander twins on the floor with the Potter boys towering over them, to a slightly stunned and speechless Scorpius and finally resting on a sobbing Lily who had pulled her knees up against her chest. "Oh Lily dear, it is going to be okay."
Al and James had not been aware of how distressed their sister had become and felt somewhat ashamed of themselves as they watched Neville Longbottom go over and start to offer their sister comfort and then a sleeping draught.

Harry and Ginny were apprehensive, all the letters they had sent out to the family had had replies saying they would be at the house at 7.30 as requested but also that they wanted to know what was going on. They had responded to each of them, informing everyone that all would be explained at dinner, but Mrs Weasley had still turned up, under the pretence of helping to prepare the large amount of food that would be needed to feed the whole family.
They were grateful for her help, but the probing questions she had been asking were doing nothing to make either of the Potters feel any calmer.
"Please Mum, we will tell you when everyone gets here, you are making me nervous with all your badgering me for answers." Ginny eventually told her mother at soon after seven.
"Fine fine, but I am your mother you know, you really should…"
"Mother Please." Ginny begged.
Mrs Weasley made a noise to indicate she would stop but also made it very clear that she was not happy about it at all.
At quarter past seven the family started to arrive, Ron and Hermione arriving first, clearly thinking they might be able to get some bit of information out of Harry before the others arrived, but he was remaining as tight lipped as Ginny.
By seven twenty the kitchen was full of the extended family; Mr and Mrs Weasley, Charlie, Ron and Hermione, George and Angelina, Percy and Audrey, Bill and Fleur, Victoire and Teddy and Remus, their eighteen month old son, who was sleeping peacefully.
Everyone took a seat at the table but when Ginny suggested that everyone help themselves to food all she got was a lot of slightly annoyed and impatient looks.
"I think we would rather you and Harry explain what is going on first, my dear." Mr Weasley was speaking in the voice he usually used when telling Mrs Weasley about something she was not going to be best pleased with.
Harry gave his wife a nervous look, he never had been good at making announcements, it was actually something of a family joke, so with a roll of her eyes Ginny spoke.
"Well… Me and Harry…Err…We found out today that we are going to be grandparents."
"WHAT?" Everyone in the room seemed to have spoken at once and Harry and Ginny both laughed nervously. Mr and Mrs Weasley had not said a word but were trying to pick their chin up off the floor.
"So why exactly are you telling us this, not James?" Charlie asked.
"Err…Because it isn't James." Harry said quietly.
"But I thought Al was gay, and with Scorpius?" Ron sounded very confused.
"Yes Al and Scorpius are still together. It is Lily who is pregnant." Ginny finally managed to explain.
At this there was complete silence as everyone tried to take this in.
"But she is fifteen…" Mrs Weasley had finally found her voice again.
"Yes, we know, we have been despairing over that all day." Ginny told her mother.
"So when is the ministry going to be here to arrest you for murder then Harry?" George asked playfully in an attempt to lighten the mood.
"I have… had words with the boy in question…" Harry was practically growling at the thought of what Lysander had done to his little girl.
"So…who is the little brat so we can show him what happens when you mess with our family." Ron declared, and though Hermione gave him a disapproving look she was privately agreeing with him.
"Trust me; Lysander Scamander definitely got that message." James declared from the doorway.
"James." Ginny jumped up to hug her son.
"I take it you have spoken to your sister then." Harry gave him a small smile and summoned a plate and glass, indicating he should sit.
"Did you say Lysander Scamander, as in one of Luna's twins?" Hermione asked with an expression of shock.
"Yeah, made the same initial mistake as you Dad," James told Harry, "assumed it was Lorcan. You can all stop looking so worried, they are alive, and they don't even have any broken bones. Al and I just had a few words, and now I am sure he is going to be a great boyfriend and great father."
James helped himself to a serving of the casserole in the middle of the table and everyone else followed suit.
The topic for the evening did however remain on Lily's pregnancy, including a full detailing of the events in the medical wing, Harry's conversations with the twins, and much speculation about what it meant for the future.
-#-
Lily had been told that she was going to have to spend the next week or so in the medical wing, as she needed to get her strength back and so had asked Al to explain everything to the Weasley cousins when he and Scorpius had gotten back to the Gryffindor common room. Lysander decided it was best he wasn't around for that conversation, so he and Lorcan wrote a letter to their parents before returning to the Ravenclaw common room.
With their large numbers it had never been difficult to clear out the common room when they needed family meetings, they heard the usual comments about how it might as well be the Weasley common room as a couple of sixth year boys sulked up the stairs.
They were all shocked; Molly, Roxanne and Fred sat open mouthed with surprise, Louis exclaimed "oh my", Rose and Hugo shared a worried look and Lucy, who as the youngest was not used to being up to late, gazed around at all their expressions with a yawn. Once Al had their assurances that they were not to going to start gossiping and spreading the news around and that they were not going to make plans to torture Lysander, he sent them all off to bed, curling up on the Sofa in front of the fire with Scorpius.
"She is going to be okay, you know." Scorpius reminded Al when he saw how worried he looked.
Al sighed. "Yeah I know, just been a weird day."
Scorpius laughed, "That it has, and we should go to bed."
"Do we have to?" Al asked in his mock child's voice.
Scorpius laughed again, "Yes, but you can sleep in my bed tonight, I think you need to cuddles." He gave Al a wink, and they were both laughing as they went up to bed.
-#-
The strange behaviour of the Potter/Weasley clan had not gone unnoticed by the rest of the school and that Lily was in the medical wing had somehow over night become common knowledge.
At breakfast there were all kinds of rumours most of them involving the Scamander twins in some way, as only a blind idiot would be able to miss the glares they were getting from the Weasley cousins at the Gryffindor table.
A Howler was dropped in front of the twins and Lysander ran from the hall as quickly as possible, but he didn't run far enough, the yells of his father were still audible to all in the hall.
Words such as "teenage parents", "irresponsible" and "ashamed" left the entire residence of Hogwarts in no doubt about what was going on with Lily Potter and Lysander Scamander.
Lysander didn't return to the Great Hall, and once the yelling from outside the door had stopped Lorcan, followed by the entire Weasley got up and left. They were family now and that meant they stuck together.
-#-
During the following few weeks, people were talking about Lily Potter, Lysander Scamander and the unplanned leap into parenthood. This got particularly bad when Lily was eventually was allowed to leave the medial wing; groups of people would stop and stare, whispering amongst themselves.
Lily was never that bothered though, she always had a member of her family with her, now that she was classifying the twins under that bracket, though it was Molly who was there nearly all the time as they shared most classes. Her morning sickness had stopped completely and she was eating well again, so the family didn't fuss about her much and the other students stopped talking about the pregnant Potter girl after a few weeks.
The Potters and Weasley's had invited the Scamander family to join them for Christmas, which everyone was delighted about, but Lily and Lysander soon discovered meant endless lectures from all their older relatives who had not had that opportunity whilst they were still at school.
-#-
The spring term at school passed quickly and the comments started again when Lily's pregnancy actually started to show, but as before she stuck with those she loved and ignored them all.
She let Lysander become her rock; they spent all their time together. He had taken to studying in the Gryffindor common room, which he had gotten special permission for, and would always join her family for all meals.
Lorcan, who had always been the more dominant of the twins, alternated between following the young couple around, or sitting by himself, eating by himself, or studying by himself.
He missed his brother, it was like someone had stolen half of him away and he was finding it difficult not to blame Lily.
"You are always with her." He yelled at Lysander one morning, his twin had made some comment about meeting Lily outside her common room to walk to breakfast and he saw red.
Lysander was speechless, just staring at his brother.
"When was the last time we even had a conversation, we never study together any more, and I am tired of eating alone. She STOLE you from me." Lorcan was actually crying at this point.
Lysander was still completely lost for words.
"Say something." Lorcan demanded angrily.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to abandon you but we better figure out a way to make this okay now, because this is only going to get worse when I am a father. You can't be my priority anymore. I'm sorry." Lysander sounded sincere, he never wanted to hurt his brother but lying about the reality of the situation was not going to help either.
"Well, can I at least eat with you guys all the time too?" Lorcan was almost pleading.
"What? Yes of course you can, I assumed you weren't because you didn't want to." Lysander was all but laughing at his brother's stupidity. "I am their family now, and you are mine, so therefore they are your family too, idiot."
"Can I study with you guys in the Gryffindor common room too then?" Lorcan's heart was lifting slightly.
"Well we will talk to Professor Longbottom, but I am sure he will understand and agree." Lysander was smiling kindly at his twin now, "Shall we go join OUR family for breakfast?"
Lorcan's heart felt light for the first time since before Christmas, he had been so caught up in the idea of losing his brother, twin and best friend that he hadn't realised that he wasn't loosing anything, he was gaining a new extension to his family.
-#-
Lorcan quickly became a normal part of the Weasley/Potter, and now Lysander, Clan and got approval from Professor Longbottom to study with them in the Gryffindor tower.
By June Lily was starting to find life a lot more difficult, the summer heat made her tired and swollen, her now much larger size made the school chairs and desks uncomfortable and she couldn't move around the school at anything close to the pace she was used to.
On the whole most of the schools residents were helpful and offered assistance when she needed, and it became common for people to offer her bottles of water or cooling spells in the corridors. Many of the Slytherins were nothing short of rude and unhelpful, but this was not something new to any of them, so they all just took it in stride.
I was a incredibly hot day in the last weekend of June and Lily was lying down on a blanket near the lake, her family all around her. Lysander was stroking her hair and occasionally wiping her forehead with a damn cloth. Lorcan was being a typical Ravenclaw, much to everyone's amusement, and reading a book.
"Exams are in two weeks, I don't have time to take a break." He told them when they suggested he relax.
Lucy was lying watching Lily's now very large bump, trying to see any signs of movement.
"Look there…did you see that." She would squeal excitedly every now or then, Lily would nod at her, but everyone else who had long gotten over being impressed by the baby's movements didn't respond.
Lily supposed she must have fallen asleep because she awoke suddenly with a sharp pain in her back.
"Ah." She exclaimed loudly when the pain happened again.
"Lily?" Lysander and Al were holding her hands, with enquiring and concerned expressions on their faces as they hovered over her.
"Help me up." She requested, and they moved her so she was sitting with her back against the tree a meter or so away.
"What happened?" Lysander enquired, "Are you okay?"
"Ye…" Lily started before she winced with the sharp pain again and changed her mind. "No…I don't I am, Medical wing now I think."
Al swooped her up into his arms and as a family they all headed back to the castle.
"Lorcan? I need you to go send owls to Mum and Dad, and to Lily's parents." Lysander looked slightly panicked, as he held onto his brothers arm, turning his so they were facing each other.
"It is probably nothing, you know." Lorcan had read that it was normal for some pains in the weeks before birth.
"Yeah, I know, I …I just have a feeling they should be here." Lysander was not sure why, but he was fairly sure today he was going to become a father.
"Well, you did always have good instincts, I will send the letters." Lorcan gave his brother a smile; it was the most comfort he had to offer.
"Thanks." Lysander hugged his twin before running after the Potter/Weasley family who had just reached the doors into the entrance hall.
-#-
As Lorcan had said, Lysander's instincts were good; with all her family the other side of the barrier Madame, her mother and boyfriend each holding onto a hand, she screamed as their son was born.
Arthur Newton Scamander-Potter was soon being passed around the family. He had the Weasley red hair and everyone said how much he looked like Lysander.
"Hi little guy, I am your great-grandfather Arthur. So we don't all get confused I am going to insist everyone calls you Archie, because that is a much cuter on you than an old man like me." Everyone laughed.
Lily and Lysander shared a quick kiss, despite everything, they were happy right then. Life was not going to be easy and definitely not what they had planned, but for their little boy, Archie, it was all going to be worth it.
