Darn it How could I have forgotten that Andromeda needed to be in this story more? And Shacklebolt...geez me and my twisted but creative mind...

Chapter 22

It wasn’t long before exams and the beginning of the Christmas holidays, Draco and Harry had decided against spending Christmas at Prince Hall. They decided that it would be best to spend the holidays with family. It was Draco’s third Christmas since he was disowned and he seemed to be happier.

Draco had gathered up a bag of clothes and blankets, “Harry, are they ready?” Harry had insisted on changing the girls and dressing them himself.

Harry smiled, kissing Aster’s cheek, “Yes.”

Draco put both girls in little carrycots and took Ariana’s; she was the heavier twin. He didn’t want to overburden Harry.

Harry took Aster’s carrycot and followed Draco, “Dobby.”

“Yes Master Harry sir?” Dobby’s huge tennis ball eyes shining.

“Take the bassinets to Wisteria, papa set aside Draco’s old room for the babies.”

Dobby nodded, “Winky and I already brought over plenty of diapers and milk powder.”

Draco called out on his way to the floo, “Thank you Dobby.” Harry’s politeness even to house elves had rubbed off.

“Master Draco and Master Harry is bestest masters ever.”

XoooooX

Colin woke after two days of being unconscious to find his energy had returned a little; he reached to touch his stomach. He paled, his babies…they were gone and then as the realization sunk in he sobbed. He failed; he’d lost his babies. He’d wanted them so much, he knew how weak he was but he couldn’t terminate the pregnancy. They were probably the only children he could have. Now they were gone, Seamus…would his husband still want him now?”

He gingerly sat up some and spotted Seamus curled up in an armchair before a weakly flickering hearth.

There was a soft pop, “Would tigren Colin like some tea and toast?”

It was a slightly familiar house elf, it wasn’t Bea who spent most of her time muttering to herself in Gaelic or arguing with Shay. He nodded, “Water too.”

The house elf handed him a potion, “Healer Pucey ordered these and Lord Prince sent them. It’s a vitamin potion.”

Colin nodded and drank the potion; he buried his face in his pillow to quiet his sobs. His babies…

He’d only carried them knowingly for two months but he’d bonded to them and he felt alone without them.

Seamus woke to the sound of hiccupping sobs, Colin? He got up so fast he trip over a blanket on of the elves must have covered him with. “Mo chuisle? Thank Merlin.” He fell to his knees beside their bed. “I was so afraid I’d lost you.”

Colin looked up at him and then turned away, “I’m sorry, I failed us. I lost them.”

Seamus’ eyes widened, “Mo chuisle, no you didn’t lose them. I did almost lose all three of you but I firecalled Adrian and he rushed right over.” He started to panic, “Cols, you have to forgive me please. I should not have let you continue the pregnancy so long. It almost killed you.”

“They’re gone.” He felt so empty.

“Not really they aren’t. You see…I…let…Adrian transfer them.” Seamus said shaking.

“Where are they? Who has them?” Colin knew that Professor Prince’s babies were now in former Head girl Luna Lovegood’s womb.

“It was her or I lost you both. I couldn’t ask Harry, I didn’t even know if his womb would be safe and well I didn’t know Artemis like you did. She’s so young…”

“Shay my babies? Where are they?” Colin repeated panicked.

“In Hermione Granger.” Seamus said softly. “It was my only choice. I couldn’t carry them myself. Why didn’t they dose me? It would have been safer…”

“Granger? The woman who gave me that potion?” Colin sobbed, he couldn’t believe it why her?

“She’s sleeping in the next room, I swear. She’s on bed rest until Adrian is sure its safe.” Seamus said quickly.

Colin tried to sit up, “I have to see them.”

The house elf returned with tea and toast.

Seamus gently moved to help Colin sit properly, propping him up with pillows, “here. Better?”

Colin nodded, “Please Shay.”

“After you eat and after Adrian has a look at both of you. Grea, go find Healer Pucey. Tell him Colin is awake.” Seamus said stubbornly.

The house elf nodded and disappeared with a pop.

Colin ate slowly; he couldn’t remember the last time he ate.

Vitamin and nutrient potions as well as water had been cast into his stomach at meal times while he had been unconscious so he couldn’t starve or die of dehydration. It had been something that Seamus had done with a heavy heart.

XoooooX

Adrian and Neville had finished setting up the nursery and decided to decorate the house for their first Christmas. It was Adrian’s fourth Christmas without his parents and Neville’s third without his grandmother but it was their first together.

Adrian had gone out with Rika to find the perfect tree; it was too cold for Neville to go outside. He levitated it into the house after banishing the snow on it.

Neville had boxes of family heirloom ornaments taken down from the attic so they could decorate the tree.

Adrian placed the tree in the stand and smiled, “Now what first?”

Before Neville could answer an unfamiliar house elf appeared with a pop.

Adrian blinked.

“Tigren said to tell Healer Pucey that his céile has awoken.”

Neville clapped his hands in happiness, “He’s awake that’s good isn’t it?”

Adrian nodded, “I’ll be right over.”

Neville kissed him, “Give them my best wishes. Tell me how Hermione is handling this. I think she could do with a few sessions with a mind healer. Not me of course but maybe Ted Tonks. He was my mentor and I wouldn’t have become a healer so quickly without him.” Mind healer training was less strenuous then body healing, he’d gone into Mind Healing hoping someday to find a way to reverse damage like that of his parents when they were tortured with the Imperious curse.

XoooooX

Draco had been pouring over every law he could find, the more charges against Dumbledore the more likely the disgraced Headmaster would remain in Azkaban.

‘A fetus is considered a person under the law the moment it is living outside it’s bearer’s womb.’

Draco smirked; it didn’t say it had to breathing outside its bearer’s womb. Under that logic both Uncle Severus and Colin’s babies were considered alive because they were living outside their womb. He drafted an addendum to his lawsuit against Dumbledore.

The man was being charged with illegal potions research, illegal potions testing, reckless endangerment, foetal negligence, attempted murder- the potion was cruel way to try to eliminate Uncle Severus as a threat, child abuse, kidnapping, use of the Imperious and the Cruciatus curses.

Besides the charges brought against Dumbledore by the Ministry Draco was filing a civil case on behalf of his fiancé, his godfather and his father in law, Neville and Adrian as well as Seamus and Colin. Luna was filing charges on behalf of Granger; he just hoped that the Gryffindor Healer was worthy of a second chance.

XoooooX

Adrian stepped through the floo and made his way to Colin and Seamus’ room.

“Healer Pucey, tigren.” Crea announced him.

Colin smiled weakly at his healer, “I feel a bit stronger…”

Adrian made his way to the bed, casting various spells to check his condition. “You seem to be stabilizing. The womb is still there, I was suspicious it would be. You are too weak for anything strenuous and no walking. I mean it; even with contraceptive spells it isn’t healthy for Colin to have sex of any kind. I think we can remove the womb in a few days if his condition doesn’t start to change for the worst.”

Colin asked quietly, “I had tea, toast and a nutrition potion. Can I see Granger? I need to know for sure my babies are okay.”

Adrian smiled, “I’ll go give her an exam and if she’s well enough I’ll bring her here.”

Seamus nodded, “If not, I’m conjure a stretcher and we can bring Colin to her.”

Adrian chuckled, “I see, so Colin is going to see his babies one way or another.” He made his way to the room opposite the nursery, knocking, “Granger?”

“Yes?” came a voice within.

Adrian entered.

Sitting on the bed, her face streaked with tears was Hermione Granger, former head girl.

Adrian checked her condition, “You seem to be adjusting well. No signs of rejecting the placentas. I am as your Healer insisting you start seeing a Mind Healer. Neville recommended it before you began carrying Colin’s babies for him. You will be owling Mind Healer Tonks. It is less then three weeks until the first court date and you need to get a hold of yourself. This depression isn’t healthy for those babies.”

“I had hoped to be pregnant with Ron’s babies by Christmas.” Hermione whispered.

“Now thanks to Dumbledore that won’t happen. He’s hurt a lot of people these last twenty years or so.” Adrian said simply. “By the way Colin wants to assure himself that his babies are safe.”

“If he wishes.” Hermione wasn’t in the mood to cause anymore harm.

Adrian nodded, “I don’t see why you need to stay in bed all the time, you should walk some. If you can tolerate it you can continue to see your patients. By floo or the Knight Bus but no Apparating.”

“Yes sir.”

Hermione said her voice devoid of argument, “I’ll just get dressed.”

Adrian left and went to talk to Colin and Seamus, “The babies seem fine. Besides some emotional and mental trauma inflicted by Dumbledore Granger is fine. She’s dressing and should be here soon. Two weeks more of bed rest and then Colin can work up his endurance by walking a little every day. If we’re lucky by the court date he come with us.”

Hermione let herself in, she had washed her face but her eyes were red.

Colin gestured for her to come forward, his hands caressing her newly rounded stomach. He could feel their magic, their life force stronger then ever. He sobbed, “They really are fine. Both of them.” He hugged Granger impetuously, “Thank you so much. I don’t know what I would have done if I really had lost them. Please take care of yourself and I’ll make sure I get better.”

Hermione nodded, “I’ll take care of myself. Healer Pucey wants me to see a Mind Healer.”

Seamus nodded, “I would prefer if they came here.”

“I’m sure that can be arranged. In a few days Granger can start checking on her patients again.” Adrian said packing up. “Unless of course Healer Tonks agrees to take over your cases by overseeing Luna and Granger’s surrogate pregnancies.”

“Thank you so much.” Colin said sitting up and hugging the man who had saved his life twice now.

Adrian wiggled free, “No problem. I’m a Healer. It’s my duty.” Whistling he made his way home by way of the Marcheness Library floo. Andromeda was supposed to be visiting Neville for a check up.

XoooooX

Adrian had been too focused on verifying Colin and Seamus’ linkage of their magical cores was stable, and watching Granger and Luna’s condition carefully. Transferring placenta and foetus from a male carrier to a female carrier was a much frowned upon procedure. It was two steps from being considered a violation of one’s magical oath to prevent harm. Because of this male pregnancy potion he’d come rather close to violating it. He’d failed to give Professor Prince a proper exam when Draco arrived with the news that Harry was missing. He’d also neglected to call another healer for back up. He’d taken Granger’s story at face value and insisted she help treat his female patients. He’d taken her under his wing and insisted she be released into his custody.

He heard Neville and Andromeda’s voices in the front parlous which was serving as Neville’s study.

Adrian made his way there, he knocked on the closed door, “Excuse me.”

“It’s Adrian!” came Neville’s excited voice.

“You may enter.”

Andromeda.

Adrian opened the door, “Pardon the intrusion. I needed to consult with you and thank you for becoming Neville’s private healer.”

Andromeda seemed surprised, “It’s no trouble.” She sniffed, “He is my godson. Someone has to be his healer. Mungos knows it can’t be you.”

“I am sorry we didn’t tell you sooner. Once Neville’s pregnancy was discovered we realized that this was a truly illegal experiment. There was clearly a purpose to why Harry was given the potion. We haven’t figured out how exactly they were dosed. I have been trying to keep a patient alive. Now the patient seems to be recovering. I am very young to be a certified healer. The board was right in their worries for I have made mistakes. However I am lucky that no one had been injured or died. I would like you to assist me. I’ve made mistakes and I need guidance from someone with more experience.”

Andromeda gave him a penetrating look, “It takes a real man to admit he needed help. With the cases you’ve had I’m surprised you didn’t sooner.”

Adrian sighed, “I should have. It wasn’t until Harry was kidnapped, Professor Prince went into shock due to rejection of the womb, I never suspected that he could be dosed for researching the potion. I am overwhelmed and I need help. I cannot in good consience allow a pregnant Granger to treat Luna or Nemia.”

Andromeda’s eyes narrowed, “Granger is pregnant? Adrian Pucey what did you do!”

Adrian collapsed in a settee opposite them, “The pregnancies were killing them. I knew that Colin wanted his children. Granger offered herself as a surrogate carrier to complete the pregnancy.”

“Adrian! You know that isn’t to be done! If they choose to continue the pregnancy against healer’s advice and their life is put in danger it is not your fault. You know we are not supposed to transfer pregnancies!

“Did you transfer a pregnancy into Nemia? She’s fifteen!”

Adrian shook his head, “Nemia Prince and Dennis Creevey engaged in sexual intercourse before the train left Hogwarts. They failed to use contraception whether spell or condoms and she is expecting a son. As for Luna when we returned to Hogwarts with Harry due to access the strong but reliable potions brewed by Professor Prince. Harry desperately needed Blood Replenishing potions and he had been expected there when he was kidnapped. It thought it would put his family at ease. I know that I should have taken him to St. Mungos. Yet I knew somehow that I needed to be at Hogwarts. I wouldn’t have been able to treat Professor Prince- I probably saved his life but I can’t be sure since my actions direct and indirect put it in danger.”

“How did Lady Lovegood get pregnant Adrian?”

Adrian winced, “Severus was rejecting the woman, his magic was fighting desperately to keep his babies alive. I couldn’t stabilize him. `Luna offered, she knew that it was possible medically and magically to transfer the pregnancy to her. Severus couldn’t give consent but his Bonded did. With full consent of both parties I did it. I know it’s a frowned upon procedure but I felt and I still feel that it was the right choice. The surrogates were willing, Luna out of curiosity and selflessness but I’m sad to aye that Granger did it out of guilt and a desire to see that no more harm was caused because of her. I’m not comfortable dealing with pregnant females. Which was why I kept Granger out of custody. It was wrong of me, by pawning them off on her I didn’t have ask for real help from a respected healer. I know what I did wasn’t the accepted choice I am sure it was the right one. It saved the lives of all concerned.” He was adamant, perhaps the decision wasn’t approvable but he had saved lives.

“The most definite sign of a good healer is when they make a decision regarding their patients that is not very acceptable to those outside the case. You are willing to defend it against me, if I hadn’t agreed to accept you early you wouldn’t be a healer now. I saw something in you and I am sure that had anyone else been the healer to discover this potion they would never have considered it. They would have pushed for an abortion or washed their hands of the case when they were told that they were against the abortion.” Andromeda said, her harsh demeanour softening.

Adrian realized her criticism had been a test of his confidence, although he’d been reprimanding himself for how he’d handled the cases before he’d come in, he still stood by his choice to transfer the pregnancies to Luna and Granger. Despite Nemia’s pregnancy and Artemis’ apparent maturity he wouldn’t have wanted to allow someone of their age to continue a pregnancy. He very much doubted their fathers would have agreed to it. Even to save the lives of their soon to be grandchildren in law, they wouldn’t have wanted Colin to die but to consent to allow their eldest daughter to be a surrogate would have been a very difficult decision especially last minute. That was one of the reasons Seamus never asked them or at least didn’t ask Artemis.

Adrian bowed, “I am grateful that you don’t wish to see me punished in some way for my risky decisions. I am also more then grateful that you are Neville’s healer. As his godmother and the closest thing he has to parents in this world, I would like to ask if you would do the honours of being their grandmother. I am no longer a member officially of the Pucey family. I am unaware of whether a cousin will inherit but as long as I refuse to let my father dictate my life. I know it’s against the expectations of pureblood society to refuse to let my father dictate my future because I am first born. I knew I wanted to be a healer before I went to Hogwarts. I chose by classes so that they would help me along the way. I asked Professor Prince to get me a tutor to help me prepare for the healing exams. Instead I received early admission and correspondence courses. Something I am eternally grateful. Neville and I owe you and your husband so much, I would like to request not only would you consider being grandmother to our sons but also to ask Ted if he would.”

“I was against Lucius’ disowning of Draco. Lucius stood by me when I eloped and Bonded to Ted. He helped me get into a fast paced Healing program and within two years of Graduation from Hogwarts I was also a healer. I knew as the eldest son of Lord Pucey that you would have a difficult time of it. I still was willing to train you, when I saw your marks and the letter you wrote to request a tutor. You were so passionate. More passionate then I expected from a fifth year. Ted mentioned similar feelings when he started training you Neville. You were born to be who you are, Healers in different branches of the profession but you were meant to healers. You graduated three years ago and you are not only a healer who specialises in the treatment of non-magical maladies but you’ve recently qualified as male pregnancy healer. That takes determination as well as talent.”

Adrian was more then flattered at her praise, he knew from his experience as her advise that she gave out praise more rarely then professor, now Headmistress McGonagall. He nodded, “Thank you. Your praise as rare as it is, is worth more then from a parent. Especially since we have none.”

“I think your parents Adrian are fools. To keep you from being a healer when you are meant to be one is a travesty. I was upset about Dora being an Auror. I tried to talk her out of it but I didn’t forbid it. I told her I’d support her if she was accepted and until Rufus accepted young Finnigan, old O’Shanesey’s grandson. I am pleased he survived the accident. I was saddened when I heard that he’d been too injured to continue his training.” Andromeda said gruffly. .

Adrian snorted, “I’ve already set Head Auror Scrimgour straight. I sent reports that stated that he was being released within a few weeks of his arrival by Auror-issued portkey in our emergency ward. He suffered a broken arm; he landed on it in such a way that shattered his arm from his wrist to his elbow. Any harder and it would have been to his shoulder. Besides that his hands were burned so that he has unreparable nerve damage. He has tactile control and some feeling. He had no reason he couldn’t be an Auror. Look how much damage Moody’s taken and he’s still on the force. It was a grave mistake to fire him from training. He has been taking care of his friend and now husband Colin. Colin was the one whose pregnancy I transferred to Granger. She is at present restricted to Marcheness unless I allowed her to visit Wisteria to tend to Nemia and Luna. However I’d rather you over saw their pregnancies. I’d rather take care of Colin, Severus and Harry to make sure they haven’t suffered from their exposure to this horrendous potion. Harry is lucky the botched delivery didn’t harm him. Severus will take time to recover.”

“OF course he will. I told him and Pomfrey told him that another pregnancy would kill him.”

“Something Dumbledore would have been aware of!” Adrian said sharply, “It might have very well killed him. If I hadn’t transferred the pregnancy it would have killed him. The baby or babies as Luna insists. We can’t tell how many she’s carrying just yet.”

“How would someone who runs a paper like the Quibbler know about pregnancies?” Andromeda sniffed.

Adrian chuckled, “She claims she’s raised and delivered unicorns.”

Andromeda nodded, “I can believe that. Some persons are naturally gifted with animal healing like we are with person healing.”

“So Aunt Annie, will you join Adrian on the case?”

“How can I refuse? He’s working on a involving a male pregnancy potion that creates a seemingly permanent womb. Or overseeing surrogate pregnancies? I would be glad to. Although I would already be a part of the case with being Neville’s healer. I’ll floo Severus and let him know I’m taking over his daughter and Luna’s case. I will be lecturing him for not asking me to be his youngest’s healer. I’ve been his family’s healer for a long time, since he was fifteen. What is it with that boy and secrets?”

Adrian barely managed to hide a smirk, his fiancé’s godmother and his former healing professor was making fun of or perhaps, insulting his former Head of House was a more accurate statement.

Andromeda dangled a picture in front of his nose, “Would you like one?”

Adrian snatched it out her hand forgetting his manners, the picture wasn’t crystal clear but it was of twins. He moved to hug Neville, “This was just what I needed!”

Andromeda chuckled, “I’ll be going now. I owe that brat a visit.”

Adrian was excited, he and Neville were oblivious and flailed over the pictures of their unborn sons.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Troll?

A/N- I decided to stop confusing everyone- including myself. Harry's soon-to-be sisters are only three years behind him. Which fits best because when he is a Fourth Year and Draco is in Fifth, the girls are eleven. Sorry for the confusion.

To anyone reading as of August 6, 2012 Bound to you's rewrite is currently still in progress and up to chapter 21 are edited. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for Reading!
