Chapter 22Andromeda portkeyed into the emergency delivery ward and visually claimed an empty delivery, yelling, “Someone get me Medi-witch Aednat! I want Healer Deborah Smith and Healer Damocles right now!”“Sweet Merlin it’s Harry Potter!” someone gasped.Andromeda shouted, “Yes and unless you want his blood on your hands too I would move now!”Aednat McCollum, her former assistant appeared just as Andromeda was levitating Harry into the delivery room.“You need me Healer Andromeda?”Andromeda nodded sharply, “I know you’re only a medi-witch but you’ve assisted me often enough. I want you to deliver Harry’s babies. When Deborah shows up she’ll take the infants from you to clean them and handle all of the tests. I’m going to save Harry again.”Aednat swallowed, “Yes Healer.”To Andromeda’s satisfaction, Aednat obeyed and began preparing Harry for emergency delivery by casting sterilization charms on the three of them as well as the room and putting delivery robes on them.Deborah and Damocles appeared soon after and Andromeda ordered Deborah to take charge of the infants before barking at Damocles.“Keep Harry’s body alive at any cost I’m going to have to focus on undoing the spells cast on him.”Damocles was a potions master and specialised in carrying for werewolves but he was a damn good healer with skills in a variety of areas.She knew all of their skills and as much as it irritated her pride to need help she wasn’t going to put her nephew’s sons in further danger due to her pride.In the corridor were shouts about a death eater, which was likely her nephew Draco, but Andromeda couldn’t pay it any mind.She found the same spells as before but she didn’t have Severus’ potions to undo the damage to his lungs yet. So she had to use his spells instead and hope for the best…Then to her shock a Malfoy elf showed up with an identical potion to what Severus had used as well as a nerve-healing potion.Andromeda cast a detention spell and found a rare variant of the Cruciatus had been used on Harry.She hurriedly cast the potions into Harry where they could so the most good.The trouble was that because of his caesarean they couldn’t give him pain potions because he needed the blood replenishers.Andromeda worked like she had Aunt Walpurga yelling that she was going to fail and kill her patient because she wasn’t suited as a healer.By the time she finished, Andromeda slid to the floor exhausted due to the demanding nature of the spells she’d cast. It was only Damocles’ quick thinking and spellwork that summoned a chair before she could hit the floor.Then Andromeda’s awareness of her surroundings returned to her and she heard the cries of two distinct infants.Damocles nodded, “A sit down and an energy potion will put you to rights.”Andromeda nodded.Aednat had proved her trust was well founded, as she was just finishing up by sealing Harry’s stomach having removed the infants and the placentas.Andromeda had known that Deborah was a paediatric healer so she had sometimes assisted in deliveries so she knew what she was doing and hadn’t needed any direct oversight.Once Harry was healed, Andromeda cast diagnostic spells and realised that while his life and the lives of his sons were saved his body’s ability to carry children was beyond saving so with a heavy heart she was forced to cast the same demi-permanent charm that had kept her from conception after nearly losing Nymphadora and two miscarriages.Andromeda closed her eyes leaning back in her chair, “You may invite Draco in. harry passed out but he should be regaining consciousness eventually now that all is as well as it could be…”Aednat sterilised everything and everyone once more before she opened the door and called for Draco.XooooooXDraco had Apparated to St. Mungos with both Neville and Theo behind him.There was some trouble with Draco and Theo being recognised as Slytherins so they were immediately accused of being Death Eaters.Until of course Neville and Theo shoved their Auror trainee badges in their faces and yelled that this was the Bonded of Harry Potter who was in critical condition and demanded to know where the emergency delivery ward was.The three former schoolmates took the nearest elevator to the right floor.Predictably, they were accosted once they stepped onto the floor with the irritating cry of ‘Death Eaters’. Neville and Theo shut that up before Neville demanded to know where Healer Andromeda Tonks was.A shaking medi-witch pointed at a delivery room door, “You can’t go in there!”Draco fumed, but planted himself in a chair near the door while Neville and Theo took protective stances around him, hands on their wand sheaths.Draco waited silently but as time wore on he began wringing his hands.Eventually Dippy showed up to inform him that Scorpius and Teddy were hungry.Neville shyly offered to floo with the boys and headed off to gain permission to floo in and out of the paternity/maternity wing with Harry Potter’s children.Theo thoughtfully cast a privacy ward to protect Draco from stalkers and spies while he was feeding Scorpius and Teddy.Neville handed both Teddy and Scorpius to Draco who was grateful for their kindness and assistance.Draco fed their boys ensuring them that their dad would be just fine, Draco could only hope that Andromeda could save Harry again...Once they had fed Neville returned the boys to Malfoy Manor where they would be safe before returning to guard Draco and Harry.Draco cringed when a group of hospital staff loudly began complaining that a Slytherin and a Malfoy at that were never going to be good enough for the Saviour of the Wizarding World.Neville told them to clear out and take their viper tongues with them.Which of course they did not approve of and accused him of being a Slytherin…Neville sharply informed them that he had been a Gryffindor but he was an Adult now and an Auror trainee so that was no longer important.Which put their backs up and they strutted off like offended peacocks…It didn’t take long for Seamus, George and their other concerned friends to overrun the waiting area.Draco was surprised when both Fleur and George hugged him while Seamus promised to teach any of the idiots who insulted Harry for his choice a lesson.Luna and Blaise as well as Bill took protective stances but Luna kept blushing when she looked at Theo…Fleur asked after Scorpius and Teddy in broken English that was more broken due to worry.Draco swallowed, “Neville brought them and just returned from bringing them back to the Manor.”Fleur then asked about her goddaughter Vivi.Draco frowned, “I’m sure that Dippy has a bottle…”“I left Victoire home with my elf…” Fleur mused to herself.The family had found out about the first attack ages after but this one they heard of in minutes…Mostly because they had attended the graduation because Hermione was graduating…George and Seamus had chosen to attend because of Dean and the rest of surviving members of the D.A. rather then because of Hermione because they were furious with her over her treatment of Harry over the last year.It said a lot about Hermione that after Harry was attacked at her graduation that she wasn’t there to at least find out how Harry was or if the babies lived…Harry was very pregnant and should have stayed at the Manor where he would have been safe but it would have been odd if Draco’s bonded did not attend his graduation.Draco had almost convinced himself that the news would be bad when the door opened to Harry’s delivery room opened.Bill and Seamus greeted the witch with recognition.Seamus hugged her enthusiastically, “Aednat! So Andromeda called ya in ter help Harry?”The witch nodded, “I delivered lots of babies with her…she trusted me to deliver your sons. I did so while Deborah Smith took charge of the boys as they were removed. Andromeda focused on the harder task of saving Harry. She gave me leave to inform you that all three are fine, your sons are healthy and while Harry is still unconscious he is stable.”Draco covered his face in his hands and his shoulder shook with tears of relief.Fleur pulled him close and let him have his cry.Luna was the only who hadn’t appeared worried but then that was just Luna…Theo nodded, “Can I interview Andromeda? Kingsley charged me to take the report.”Aednat looked Theo up and down, “She’s exhausted…”“We’ll need it to know what to examine the suspects wand for…” Theo muttered.Aednat sighed, “Just don’t push Healer Andromeda too much…”Theo nodded sharply, “Of course, it just is best to take a report when their memory is fresh. At least that is what the lecturers claim.”Aednat reluctantly gestured for Theo to followed her, “We’ll be moving Harry to a more secure and private room where you can visit two at a time in a few minutes.”Draco’s extended family from Harry was relieved at the news…“How soon can he come home?” Bill asked frowning.Aednat shrugged, “I’ll sent Healer Damocles out to tell you that, he should have a better idea then I would…”Then Seamus’ cousin let Theo into Harry’s delivery room and the door shut firmly behind them.By that time Draco had recovered himself and was highly embarrassed by his show of emotion and was grateful that his mother wasn’t there to witness his shaming of the Malfoy family.XooooooXTheo entered the delivery room and found a vaguely familiar blonde witch, likely Deborah using a pump to fill bottles of milk for the infants.While a gentleman about the age of Draco’s late father was still examining Harry and Andromeda was sitting in a chair with her eyes closed.Theo approached her, clearing his throat and removed a small spiral bound Muggle notebook from his robes, “Healer Andromeda?”She sighed, “Go ahead and ask your questions.”Immediately, Theo bombarded her with questions as to which spells and what not Harry had been attacked with. He also asked after Harry’s current health status, how strenuous the treatment had been and if there would be any lasting health effects from the attack. Theo was sure to ask if the two attacks were definitely related, if it was likely that the same perpetrators had been involved and if the second attack would cause health concerns due to the effects of the first.Andromeda sniffed, “It is strange, rather then three wands attacking at once they managed to do the near impossibly by charming or perhaps cursing would be the proper term, a conjured or transfigured spider to attack Harry with all of the spells at once. If I had reacted any slower or had less assistance, then Harry and his sons would be dead. He was supposed to die this time, the spells they used in conjuction with one another should have killed him. They were mostly the same spells as before only they were to affect him simultaneously. His lungs will never be the same because of the dark spell that was meant to stop his lungs- it has been called the breath stealing curse by some because it causes the victims to suffocate and their body quickly shuts down due to the lack of oxygen in the blood.”She paused before continuing, “Luckily an esteemed potions master created a potion that that heals the damage and a counter spell to eliminate its effect on the body. A Malfoy elf recognised the spell even before I did and arrived with that potion as well as another that was needed before I realised that Harry had been attacked with that curse again. While I could end the curse I could not guarantee that I could have healed the damage without the potion, I believe that it must be administered within a window of opportunity. This time they also included a spell to self-terminate his pregnancy but thankfully my assistant Medi-witch Aednat McCullum managed to remove the infants before they could be completely affected. You will need to ask Aednat if there will be any lingering effects on the boys. However there is a side effect of that of that spell, Harry will never be able to carry anymore pregnancies. He maybe able to sire but I will need to run more tests.”Andromeda then spouted off the exact spells that had been cast on Harry.Theo scowled, “Given the spells do you believe that the attackers were clearly loyal to the Death Eater cause?”Andromeda nodded, “From what I learned from the potion master who created the potion that I used, it was a favoured spell for one Death Eater. Who might of learned it I can’t be sure. I will include a pensive memory because I am suspicious that they did a poorer job of cloaking their magical signatures this time but you would need an expert to verify.”Theo accepted the vial of memory from Andromeda only to be handed on from every member of Harry’s healing team.After Andromeda gave him her report, Healer Damocles told him how he had kept Harry alive while Andromeda countered the spells meant to kill him.Medi-witch Aednat gave him a clearer picture of the rushed delivery of the twins while Healer Deborah informed him of the twins’ current health as well as any possible side effects of the traumatic birth and the near termination.Theo was furious, he might not have counted Draco or Harry as friends in Hogwarts but to have this happen to Harry not once by twice and for the second attack to have nearly killed his infant sons was heinous. It infuriated him and he was sure that Kingsley wouldn’t take it well either.By the time Theo finished his interviews, Healers Deborah and Damocles had prepped Harry and the twins for the move to a more comfortable room.Theo excused himself and left, gesturing for Neville to join him.Rather then verbalise what he had learned from Harry’s healing team, Theo handed over his notes.Neville vibrated with tension and anger the longer he read, finally the Longbottom heir spoke, “Luckily you took the interviews with the healers, I don’t think I could have listened to this calmly.”Theo snorted, “I am far from calm.”Neville glanced at Draco and the Weasleys, “How much will they be told?”Theo shrugged, “I don’t think Draco could handle hearing about the second near miss.”Neville clearly understood that Theo was referring to the near deaths of the twins.The inability for Harry to bear any more children was dreadful but with five infants under sixteen months they certainly shouldn’t be talking about more children for quite a while…Not that Theo had the right to impose his viewpoint on Draco and Harry…Knowing that the Weasleys present would defend Harry even from blood, Theo reluctantly left to file his report leaving Neville to guard Harry.XooooooXTheo left without speaking to Draco; there was a tension in his old childhood friend that Draco hadn’t seen before. Whatever Andromeda told him had infuriated Theo, so much so that Neville was now angrier then he’d been after Harry ‘died’ during the Battle of Hogwarts.Neville was tense and high-strung, Draco really wondered whether Neville was cut out for being an Auror but that was between Neville and his instructors.Healer Deborah and Medi-witch Aednat escorted Harry on a floating gurney and two small clear infant bassinets out of the delivery room and down the hallway.Draco saw how pale Harry was and his breathing was laboured….His heart twisted, he knew Pansy was involved somehow the vindictive insane wench!Who else he wasn’t sure but it was obvious Pansy was somehow involved when Harry was attacked even as Pansy claimed that Harry wasn’t worthy of Draco…Draco was close to wringing his hands when a vaguely familiar man emerged from the delivery room, Damocles…He was a healer? Draco was certain he was a potions master…yes the one who created the Wolfsbane potion…Damocles gestured for Draco, “Come along young man, Harry is being placed in an empty but private room. He should be in the Auror ward but we’re going to chance it and leave him here because this ward is better suited to carrying for Harry and your sons. I will say that only two persons are allowed in at a time. That means that Draco and a second person; so you may arrange among yourselves how to handle visits and protection.”Draco hurried towards Damocles and followed him to Harry’s hospital room. He worried about his Bondmate, especially after seeing how pale he was and that he was still unconscious.Their friends and Harry’s extended family followed close behind but they were softly talking about who would be first to join Draco to see Harry.Draco was sure that it would be George or Neville who would be the first to see Harry…Right now nothing mattered but assuringly himself that Harry was alive and holding his sons…What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
