Chapter 23
June 8, 1999It was two days since the second attack on his Harry and his Bondmate had yet to wake up…Draco had done his best to see to it that all of their children were fed, managing to handle feeds for four felt impossible but thankfully Fleur had taken Vivi to stay with her while Blaise and Luna took turns bring Teddy and Scorpius, because Theo and Neville had taken the attack as a personal insult and had refused to leave Harry’s side.After returning from the Ministry where they made their own reports, Neville and Theo took turns guarding Harry’s door.They would rotate so the inner guard was napping usually with their head in their lover’s lap, to be honest Draco had no confidence that Luna and Theo had progress beyond cuddling mostly because Theo took his duty most personally then Neville.It was Blaise who helped Neville get his confidence back by repeating over and over that the second attack on Harry had been a shock.No one would have guessed that anyone would have tried to attack Harry at a Hogwarts’ graduation of all places…Andromeda refused to release Harry until he awoke and she was satisfied that he was on the road to recovery.Draco had since learned that the lung-paralysing curse had been cast on Harry again and had caused permanent damage.His first thought was that Granger had created the insect that had bitten Harry, which had been hotly protested by Luna, Neville, Seamus and George as well as Dean and Pavarti.While they couldn’t understand why Granger would turn on Harry for refusing to have a relationship with Ginny, her former Housemates and Luna were certain that she was too much of a Gryffindor to have had a part in either of Harry’s attacks.Neville reminded him that Professor Snape had helped heal Harry and as their former Defence professor surely he would have recognised Granger’s magical signature…Draco had turned his fury on Pansy, how dare she insult Harry like that. Was her jealousy enough to cause her to have a part in either of Harry’s attacks?The door opening interrupted Draco’s musing…Theo bolted out of the conjured settee with his hand on his wand.“At ease Trainee Nott.” Kingsley said sharply.Draco cast a silencing bubble on Orion and Jaime, “Please tell me that you have some information this time.”Kingsley scowled, “Miss Pansy Parkinson was under a potion that prevented her from being affected by veritaserum and she had taken an oath not to speak of the conspiracy. We had to resort to having her memories examined by a Ministry Interrogator. All parties to the attacks had been arrested.”Draco ground out, “Was Granger a part of this?”Kingsley blinked, “Hermione? No rather they were Miss Parkinson, Masters Marcus Flint, Cormac McLaggen, Cassius Warrington and Fergus O Mordha. The wasp that stung Harry affecting him with the curses was created by Miss Parkinson but was cursed by Masters Warrington, McLaggen, Flint and O Mordha. According to her memories Miss Parkinson was always loyal to the Death Eater cause but both her father and You-Know-Who refused to have her branded with the Dark Mark. Only Warrington, Flint and O Mordha had the Dark Mark, we’re suspicious that McLaggen was Imperioed likely by Warrington. Parkinson, Warrington, Flint and O Mordha have been disowned by their families, their inheritances seized and they will likely be sent to Azkaban. A trial will be held as soon as Harry is well enough to attend,”Draco turned back to Harry, squeezing his hand to let Harry know that he was there, “I don’t know when that will be but Salazar’s wand I hope it is soon…”Luna sang out from her spot on the settee, “Your Harry’s a fighter, he won’t leave you. Especially since you’ve given him the one thing he’s always wanted…”Kingsley frowned, “What is that?”Luna beamed, “A family…”Draco bit his bottom lip, that was what they were; himself, Harry, Teddy, Scorpius, Vivi, Orion and Jaime…They were each other’s rock; Draco needed Harry to wake up and reassure him that he wasn’t going to abandon him.Draco was vaguely aware of Kingsley’s assuring Theo that he had proved himself well and that once Harry was sent home to the Manor that he could resume his usual lessons in the Auror academy.Luna seemed proud and more ‘normal’ around Theo, Draco tuned them out and focused on Harry…Whispering that everything was fine, their sons Orion and Jaime couldn’t wait to meet him officially. Telling Harry how much Teddy, Scorpius, Vivi and himself missed him as well as how many of their friends and family had come to visit him every day…Draco did everything but auditorily beg Harry to wake up…
XooooooX
It was after dinner had been delivered for Draco, Luna, Blaise and Neville by Malfoy elves that Harry started to stir.It took all of Draco’s self-control not to try to wake Harry, Andromeda had cautioned them that Harry’s body and magic needed time to recover from this second magical assault.It shouldn’t have been a surprise that it was Orion’s fussing that finally woke him.Harry seemed dazed, “Draco? Where am I?”Draco set aside his tray of supper and took Harry’s hand in both of his larger ones, “I’m here Harry. You’re in St. Mungos’ maternity/paternity ward.”Harry tried to sit up and Draco placed a hand on his chest, “Don’t sit up too quickly. You’ve had a bad shock.”Draco turned to Luna, “Luna would you please find one of Harry’s healers?”The Lovegood heiress nodded and disappeared from the room.Neville was clearly anxious while Blaise fetched Orion.Draco propped up Harry’s pillows and slowly helped him sit up, “Careful now.”Harry was quiet and shy at Draco’s attentions, “Did I lose them? What happened? The last thing I remember was that I was at the graduation…”Draco stiffened and began to bit his bottom lip. “I’ll let Aunt Andromeda explain things, would you like to meet your son?”Harry’s voice was soft, “Did I lose one?”Draco shook his head, “No, rather you were woke by Orion. Perhaps, I overstepped but I gave the names from the tapestry that you had agreed to, to our sons. Orion woke up and he’s fussing, we’ve been feeding him with bottles from your milk.” Harry let out a sigh of relief that their sons were born safely. “I’m not sure if I should be holding them…”Draco wordlessly sat beside him and accepted Orion from Blaise.Both Neville and Blaise turned away while Draco undid Harry’s pyjama shirt so that Harry could feed Orion.Before he could place Orion in Harry’s arms to feed naturally, Andromeda appeared.“Wait. While I am gratified that you are awake, I need to make sure that none of your potions have leeched into your milk. I’ve had to remove the potions by products from the bottled milk before I would allow Draco, Luna or even Blaise to feed them.” Andromeda said calling them to halt the nursing before it even began.Harry’s heart twisted; in his impatience he might have poisoned their son…Draco silently berated himself for forgetting that some potions were dangerous for nursing bearers because they could as Andromeda stated leech into the milk.Andromeda cast spells before announcing that Harry’s milk was safe.Both parents let out a sigh of relief, before Orion’s whimpering cries were stilled by the offer of food.Harry gasped, Orion’s suckling felt very different from Draco’s. It touched him in a different way, he wasn’t aroused by it, rather it made him feel all the more emotionally connected to his son.Orion blinked his grey eyes rapidly at him and Harry was surprised at how full his heart was…He understood now more then ever how Draco could have held Scorpius and loved him at first sight…Harry hadn’t felt this sort of deep abiding love for Scorpius or Teddy, he loved them he did but it was altogether a different sort of love to hold in your arms the child you carried beneath your heart.Draco recognised the awe in Harry’s eyes, it was the same awe that filled him as Scorpius chased away his depression. He took Harry’s chin in his fingers and lifted it before kissing his bonded, “It’s over…now we can stop living in fear…and live for our own happiness.”Harry flinched at the words ‘it’s over’, then he realised that Draco must mean his attackers were finally captured.Andromeda let him feed Orion in private, before Orion finished, Jaime woke snuffling for food.Neville brought them Jaime while accepting Orion, Neville silently changed Orion into a fresh nappy and bodysuit before placing the sleepy newborn in his hospital cradle.Jaime fed and drank even less then Orion, leaving Harry embarrassed of the full feeling in his pectorals.Once Jaime was fed, Blaise took him and dressed him in a fresh nappy and bodysuit leaving Draco to help Harry express milk with the wizard breast pump.Andromeda sent for broth and water to replace the fluids lost when Harry nursed and expressed milk.Harry felt stronger for the liquids and his arms were a bit less shaky.Draco helped Harry lay down again and they held onto one another, they might have lost everything…Draco would have lost Harry, Orion and Jaime…he was suspicious that he wouldn’t have survived the emotional trauma of that…Harry still had no memory of the attack but he’d felt crushed for the few seconds that he believed that he’d lost Orion and Jaime…He hoped that this was the last attack; Harry was sick of being babysat by Neville and wanted to return to the days when they were merely friends…One last exam and Andromeda promised to release them in the morning…Both Harry and Draco were eager to return home…
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
ChaosLady - Yay! Hopefully this will answer your unanswered questions and assure you that Harry is fine, well on the road to recovery.
Anon - To my dismay, you weren't the only one to suspect Hermione. While Hermione is brilliant and is magically capable of creating something like that, she may have turned her back on Harry for reasons unknown but being an assassin much less working with the likes of Harry's attackers would be likely impossible for her. Ron too was suspected but ultimately cleared. *shrugs*
starr - I hope Kingsley's visit cleared up your questions about whom would be interesting in attacking Harry: naturally Death Eater loyal persons like Pansy and those loyal due to the Imperius like McLaggen as well as escaped Death Eaters of Harry's generation.
Alyss - glad you think the last update was a good one...hopefully this one doesn't disappoint!
