-Chapter Twenty-Seven-

It had been three and a half months since the school had been reopened. It was now entering the second week of January and there had been no trouble from the ministry, the press, the Order of the Phoenix, or the Weasley's and Granger.

Harry and Voldemort were currently getting dressed for the day in their room in the Chamber of Secrets.

Pulling his robe shut and buttoning it up, Harry gave a small whine and said, "Voldemort how am I supposed to hide my stomach? It's too large to be hidden beneath my robes and it's too dangerous to use any concealing charms now that I'm almost in my fourth month."

"Harry love, don't be worried about anything. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks about you. Quite frankly I don't think I'll be able to concentrate when I see your luscious body swollen with my child walk into the Great Hall." Voldemort said as his eyes glazed over.

"Stop thinking like that or I won't make it to my classes today." Harry said rubbing his hand across his stomach. "Don't forget that Doctor. Armstead is coming over today to give me my checkup after my last class."

"Of course. I could never forget about something as important as that. And I know that you don't like to be around Narcissa so I'm telling you now. She's asked for permission to come and spend the week with Draco since she didn't get to see him over Christmas break. She should be here right before the last classes release."

"Thanks for the warning." Harry said making a face. "I'll have to ask father if I can leave before the class lets out so I can avoid her."

"Is Lucius teaching a Dark Arts curse today?" Voldemort asked.

"Yes, this week father is teaching us a Dark Arts curse, then next week Remus is going to teach us how to defend ourselves against that curse." Harry said. "It was really a good idea to have the Dark Arts taught. The students are really interested in it. They even said it was stupid not to be taught it since we're in the middle of a war and they need to know how to defend themselves against it, and use it if need be."

"Well we can let them think that Harry. The more they learn the more they become addicted to it, and the more they become addicted to it, the more that turn to our side." Voldemort said with a smile. "Besides the minister is easy to manipulate and was easily tricked into signing the treaty allowing me to hire a Dark Arts teacher. The only way he can overturn the signature now, without making himself look bad, was if students were getting pulled out of the school for learning the Dark Arts. And, as you know, all the light wizards have done is send notes saying how they 'dislike the idea of Dark Arts being taught in this school'."

"Well I don't see why they would pull them from the school. Now if you had gotten rid of Defense Against the Dark Arts and put Dark Arts in it's place I could see why they would. But the students are also learning to defend themselves against the Dark Arts. The parents are probably pleased since many students, and families, have been killed since they didn't know how to defend against the Dark Arts." Harry said.

"I wish you would let me resort you Harry." Voldemort said pulling Harry into his arms. "Now that the Dark Arts are being taught there's a much higher risk of someone cursing you and causing harm to both the baby and you."

"I know. But if you resort me it will cause so many problems and I'm too emotional now that I'm pregnant. If someone said something I'm sure I'd burst into tears and you'd get in trouble for either cursing them or suspending them for no reason." Harry said.

"I'd have the right to do that to them for upsetting my pregnant mate." Voldemort argued.

"Yes you would, but they don't know that I'm your mate. So you would have to warn them off first. If they did it again then you'd have the right to attack them."

"Well no one needs to know what number warning the person received." Voldemort said grinning.

"Yes they do. You wouldn't want to be deprived of any fantasies...would you?" Harry asked.

"Fine. I won't attack them unless they're on their second warning." Voldemort said frowning. "But if they do attack you for the first time I will load them with detentions until they graduate from this school."

"You can't give them that many just for attacking a student."

"I'm the headmaster Harry. I can give them as many detentions as I feel they deserve." Voldemort said.

"Not without calling attention to yourself for being unfair to the students."

Growling, Voldemort scowled and dropped a kiss against Harry's lips.

"I suppose you are right. I need to get to the great hall before any of the students do. I shall see you later, and remember, don't let any of the other students get to you." Voldemort reminded him.

"I'll try not to." Harry said smiling when he disappeared with a crack apparating out of the chamber and into the Headmaster's private rooms. Since the reopening of the school Voldemort had changed the wards to allow him to apparate to any part of the school where he was needed.

Gathering up his books for potions and Defense and Dark Arts, Harry wandered out of the room and up the stairs towards his fathers private office.

"Hi dad." Harry said when he stepped into the room. "Shouldn't you be heading down to breakfast?"

"Yes I should. But your father and I are eating in our rooms with James this morning. No more glamors?" Severus asked looking up from his desk.

"No Doctor Armstead said it would be too dangerous to use glamors after I reached my fourth month. I don't want to risk it by using them too long even though I'm only three and a half months along." Harry said.

"Hm. We'll have to use this doctor if James gets pregnant again." Severus said more to himself than to Harry.

Making a face, Harry said, "Dad, please, I don't want to think about what father, mum, and you do in bed."

"OF course. Come I'll walk with you until we part ways." Severus said standing up.

"When is everyone going to find out that mum's still alive?" Harry asked as they stepped out into the hall.

"When it's safe. We don't want to lose him for real this time." Severus said nodding at a small group of his Slytherin's.

"I still can't believe your snakes got used to seeing us talking amicably." Harry said, grimacing when the Slytherin's looked down at his swollen stomach.

"I believe your brother had a hand in that." Severus said stopping. "I shall see you in class, on time, Harry."

Giving a hum of agreement, Harry said, "Tell everyone I said hi." Without waiting for an answer, Harry continued down the hall ignoring the stares directed at his stomach.

Raising his head up high, Harry ignored the glares from the Gryffindor's and the shocked looks from the other three houses. Walking into the Great Hall, Harry walked over to his normal seat at the Slytherin table beside his brother.

"Sharing your news with everyone now?" Draco asked

"Yep...well not really. I'm just doing what's safe for the baby and I." Harry said.

"Spreading your legs for all of the slimy snakes now that you know your family Potter?" Ron asked sneering at him.

"Not all of them, just one...and you should be careful who you say that around."

"And why is that? Is your pathetic family going to attack me?" Ron asked shaking his body like he was scared.

"Yeah my family will, but that's not who will kill you." Harry said placing food onto his plate.

"Oh yeah? And who'll kill me?" Ron asked raising an eyebrow.

"My mate." Harry said as his eyes slid over to meet Voldemort's.

"If he harmed me I could have him thrown in Azkaban, or given the Dementor's kiss." Ron said smirking.

"Oh come on Weasel you're a pureblood, even though your whole family is a disgrace to the world of purebloods. You should know that if any harm comes to a pregnant submissive creature the dominant has the right to any and all retribution they see as fit."

"Yeah I know that, but that's only if it's a second attack." Ron said looking smug.

"That is true. But you've attacked Harry verbally before. So this is more than your second attack." Draco said. "Now I think you should leave before I curse you and before Harry's mate decides to see how your insides look on the outside."

Paling slightly, Ron turned and almost ran back to the safety of the Gryffindor's house table.

Grinning, Harry shook his head and picked at the food on his plate barely eating anything before he set his fork aside. "We've got to get to potions." Harry said when he caught Draco's look.

"You've barely ate anything." Draco protested.

"I'll eat twice as much at lunch." Harry promised grabbing his books.

"Professor Snape won't mind if your late. I mean, he is your father." One of the Slytherin's from their potions class said.

"Yeah that's true, and even if I was late he'd only take points from Gryffindor since I'm technically still in that house." Harry said tapping on his chin before he gave a sigh. "Oh well. I'd rather not be late in case someone tries to trip me in the aisle." Harry said thinking of his baby.

Agreeing quickly, Draco gracefully jumped up from his seat, gathered up his books, and followed Harry out of the Great Hall.

"You alright? He didn't upset you did he?" Draco asked as they walked down the hall towards the potions classroom.

"Nah. Nothing that redheaded weasel does is going to upset me."

"You're sure? Because I'm sure your mate would love to rip him apart."

"I'm sure. Besides I told him he couldn't since it would be the first attack...I didn't realize that any attacks that happened before we mated would count." Harry said before a thought hit him, "Ugh I'm going to have to write to the papers after class before the rumors about me get there."

"Don't worry they wouldn't dare write anything about you without your permission since you're the child of a Malfoy." Draco reassured him.

When the two reached the classroom they stepped inside and took the first available seats on the Slytherin's side of the classroom.

As the classroom filled and all of the students took their seats the doors leading into Severus' office burst open and he strode towards the front of the classroom.

"Alright since everyone decided to grace us with their presence on time today lets get started. Today you will be doing a potion from one of your past years. You can do any of them except for the ones listed on the board. Get to work...oh and remember that some of these take much longer than this one class period." Severus said smirking at the groans that rose from the Gryffindor side of the room. Sitting down in his desk chair Severus locked his eyes on Harry's form to watch for any signs of fatigue or for any attempts at sabotage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Walking into the Defense and Dark Arts classroom, Harry limped over to his desk and sat down in his chair.

"Harry is something wrong?" Lucius asked from his spot at the front of the room.

"Huh? No. Why do you ask?"

"You're limping." Lucius pointed out.

"Oh that. It's just because my ankles are swollen and they hurt." Harry said shrugging his shoulders. "Listen I wanted to know if I could skip out early today. Apparently your ex-wife is coming to spend some time with Draco, and for some reason she doesn't like me. But anyway I'd like to avoid any unneeded stress."

"Of course Harry. I'll let you leave about ten minutes early. Just so they don't think I'm favoring you tell me that the headmaster wants to see you at the end of the class." Lucius said.

"Thanks." Harry said opening his new Dark Arts book. Leaning back in his chair, Harry shut his eyes and listened as the other students trickled into the room for the class.

When the door shut, Harry opened his eyes and looked over at Draco's seat and smiled at his brother.

"Everything alright?" Draco asked.

"Fine. I just had to talk to father for a minute." Harry whispered.

Looking up when they heard Lucius give a angry sigh, they both smirked when they saw him standing in front of the Gryffindor's side of the room.

"Miss. Granger, would you like to tell me where Mr. Weasley is? It seems like he has forgotten that he is in this class."

"Ron refuses to come to this class and be taught the Dark Arts by a death eater." She said sticking her nose up in the air.

"Well then that will be two hundred points from Gryffindor and since this is his third warning I'll have to go to the headmaster about him." Lucius said looking pleased. "Now open your books, get out your quills and pay attention."

Shaking his head, Harry bit his lip to hide the laughter welling up inside his throat. After a few seconds Harry tuned out the lecture on Fiendfyre his father was giving and drew little doodles on his blank parchment.

While Lucius concluded his lecture and gave out the homework assignment, Harry closed his book and gathered his materials together.

Raising his hand, Harry waited for Lucius to call on him then said, "Professor the headmaster wanted to speak with me after class. If we're finished for the day may I be excused to go and speak with him?"

"You may." Lucius said waving his hand towards the door. "Don't forget your homework for next class." Lucius called after him as Harry made his way out of the room.

Walking through the empty hall towards the nearest set of stairs, Harry winced as the pain in his ankles seemed to radiate up towards his legs and into his lower back.

Stepping onto the first step, Harry started to walk down the stairs and gave a gasp when he felt a hand in the middle of his back shove him. Dropping his books, Harry tried to curl around his stomach as he fell down the moving staircase.

Feeling pain in his right shoulder and wrist, Harry looked up towards the landing to see what had pushed him down.

Gasping, Harry saw Narcissa with a fake look of concern on her face as she placed her hand over her chest. In an instant the look transformed into a vicious smirk and she gave him a little wave before she turned and made her way down towards the classrooms.

With a gasp of pain, Harry set his uninjured hand on his stomach and as the darkness closed in on him Harry called out for his dominant.

"Voldemort, I need help!" Harry shouted out hoping his dominant would feel that there was something wrong with his submissive.

Drifting into the darkness, Harry prayed to whomever would listen that his baby would survive the fall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Slowly forcing his way through the clouds of darkness, Harry became aware of the surroundings and of the hushed conversation going on beside his bed. Turning his head to the side, Harry slightly opened his eyes and nearly hissed at the sight he saw.

Voldemort was sitting on a couch, that Harry guessed he had transfigured from the hard hospital wing chairs, with Narcissa sitting so close to him she was nearly on his lap.

"I'm so sorry my lord. You must be so distraught over the loss of your child. If a woman had been carrying it, it probably would have survived...you know if you want a child I'm more than willing to be the mother of those children." Narcissa said fluttering her eyelashes at him.

"Narcissa you are overstepping your boundaries. Leave now before I do something that I really won't regret." Voldemort said pressing his lips together into a thin line.

"Of course. Please forgive me my lord." She said rushing out of the room.

"I lost the baby?" Harry asked in a teary voice.

Jumping up from his spot on the couch, Voldemort shouted, "Harry! You're awake! How do you feel?"

"I feel numb. I'm sorry. If I had been stronger maybe I wouldn't have lost the baby." Harry said as tears started to run down his face.

"What? Harry no! No, no you didn't lose the baby. The baby is safe and sound right here." Voldemort said taking Harry's hand in his own and set it over Harry's swollen stomach. And, as if to prove it, the baby sharply kicked against Harry's hand.

Pushing himself up, Harry threw himself into Voldemort's arms and sobbed out his relief.

"Doctor Armstead gave you your checkup while you were unconscious. He thought it would be better so you could rest when you woke up. The baby is completely fine, but he wants you on complete bed rest when you aren't in class. One more accident like this and the next time you might really lose the baby." Voldemort said rubbing Harry's back trying to comfort him.

"I'll do anything to keep the baby safe." Harry promised nuzzling into Voldemort's neck.

"How does your right arm feel? Poppy said you shattered the bones in three different spots in the fall."

"It feels okay. There's a slight twinge, but other than that there's no pain." Harry said after moving his arm around.

"It was too dangerous to give you both a pain potion and the healing potion. We figured it would be best to heal the bones since you'd be in constant pain if we didn't." Voldemort said. "Harry what happened? I know you've gotten dizzy and unbalanced since your stomach has gotten bigger, but you've never fallen."

"I didn't fall. I was pushed." Harry protested. "I was walking down the stairs so I could avoid Narcissa when she got here and I just stepped on the first stair when I felt a hand push me in the back. I only saw who did it when I hit the ground and stopped falling."

"Who did it Harry? Who do I kill?" Voldemort asked clenching his hands into fists.

"I saw Narcissa standing at the top of the stairs. I hit the ground and I looked up towards the stairs and she was standing there looking at me with fake concern on her face. Then she waved at me and grinned. She did it on purpose." Harry said shaking.

"She pushed you down the stairs?"

"Yes. And after she offered to have your children right after the accident...I think she planned it...no I know she planned to do it." Harry said crossing his arms over his chest.

"That strikes me as odd." Voldemort said biting his bottom lip.

"What that she pushed me down the stairs or that she offered to have your children?" Harry asked tensing up.

"That she offered to have my children. I don't doubt that she planned it after that little scene. But I remember that after Draco was born Lucius was absent for quite a few months before I went to see why he was ignoring my summons. He told me that his creature was being overly protective of his newborn because that was the only child Narcissa could give him. When a woman has a creatures mate and they aren't that creatures mate they can't have anymore children after that first one." Voldemort explained.

"She has to know that, so why would she say that?" Harry asked before he stopped himself. "Never mind. She probably thought that you didn't know about that little fact."

"I'll have to ask Lucius if she ever seemed odd when asking about the meetings he attended." Voldemort said more to himself then to Harry.

Opening his mouth, Harry was about to ask a question when the door to the infirmary slammed open and six people rushed into the room.

"Harry are you alright?" James asked throwing himself towards the bed. Running his hands over Harry's head and shoulders trying to find any invisible injuries.

"I'm better now." Harry said looking at the group in shock. "I hope no one saw you, because two of you are supposed to be dead."

"Um, we did run by quite a few students to get here...and three of them happened to be two Weasley's and a Granger." Sirius admitted running his a hand through his hair.

"You mean to tell me that you were seen?" Voldemort asked.

"Harry's more important than keeping this a secret. Besides this is more against Dumbledore." Sirius said holding onto Draco, who seemed extremely distraught.

"If you don't mind me asking. What happened?" Remus asked looking more disheveled than normal.

Sharing a look with Voldemort, Harry bit his lip and said, "Someone pushed me down the stairs."

"What! Who?" Draco asked loudly.

Biting on his lip Harry glanced towards Draco then lowered his eyes to the ground.

"Are you...are you saying the person looked like me?" Draco asked sounding hurt.

"No! No, of course not. It's just that the identity of the person will hurt you." Harry whispered.

"The only way it would hurt me was if it was family or a friend of the family. And I know that none of them would do that."

"I saw who did it, and I know who it was that I saw." Harry whispered turning towards Voldemort for help.

"Well who did it? Who hurt my baby?" James asked fingering his wand.

Sighing Voldemort said, "Narcissa. And it wasn't an accident, because she grinned at Harry while he was on the ground bleeding and in pain." Voldemort said filling them in on what Harry had told him.

"What? My mother wouldn't do anything like that!" Draco said turning to look at his father.

"No not normally, but she seems to be acting differently." Lucius said placing a hand on Draco's shoulder.

"Odd how?" Voldemort asked.

"She's forgotten things she's done with Draco, important dates, and a certain admirer of hers." Lucius explained.

"Hm. I believe we need to have a talk with your ex-wife. Sirius take Draco and James to your rooms. Remus you look like you were occupied before you heard the news, so head back to whomever your friend is. Severus I need you to go and get some Veritaserum, and Lucius go and find your ex." Voldemort ordered.

When they all hurried out of the room, Harry smiled and said, "Come and sit with me."

Moving over to the bed, Voldemort enlarged it then sat down and wrapped an arm around Harry's body. "I was afraid today. For the first time in a long time I was afraid. I felt your pain and fear but I didn't know where you'd be since you left class early. Then when a student told me they had found you unconscious and bleeding at the bottom of the stairs..."

Pressing himself against Voldemort's side, Harry said, "Don't worry we're both fine, and we'll both make sure that nothing else happens again."

"It won't happen again because that bitch is going to die." Voldemort said seriously. "Now get some rest so we can question her." He said as Lucius walked in dragging Narcissa behind him. Severus followed them both shortly after carrying a vial filled to the brim with Veritaserum.

Curling further into his dominants side, Harry glared at the furious woman.

Dropping a kiss on Harry's forehead, Voldemort said, "I said sleep Harry."

Giving a sigh, Harry closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep knowing his dominant would keep him safe.

Casting a noise repelling barrier around Harry, Voldemort turned to face Narcissa with a scowl.

"My lord is there a reason that Lucius is manhandling me?" Narcissa asked trying to flutter her eyelashes at him.

Curling his lip in distaste, Voldemort said, "Of course there is a reason. You tried to kill my mate and our child."

"No! My lord I didn't even see him before I stopped here." She protested.

"Well Harry told me differently. Severus the Veritaserum, if you please." Voldemort said motioning towards Narcissa.

"What! You can't force me to take that! It's against the law to forcefully administer Veritaserum when not in a trial." Narcissa said trying to cross her arms over her chest.

"Why are you afraid Narcissa? If you didn't do anything then you should have no reason to protest." Lucius said raising an eyebrow.

"I'm not afraid! I just don't like taking it when it's not necessary since one of the ingredients causes my hair to frizz and my skin to look disgusting."

"Just take the potion Narcissa." Lucius said pushing her towards one of the empty chairs.

Huffing she sat down in the chair and avoided looking at any of the men in the room. "Fine. But you will be paying for the spa treatment after this fiasco is over with." She said.

"Only if you had nothing to do with Harry's accident." Lucius said as Severus moved over to her side and dropped a few drops of the potion onto her tongue. When her eyes glazed over and she sat looking straight ahead they knew the potion was fully in her system. Before they started to question her Voldemort cast a strong sticking charm to her and glued her to the chair.

"Narcissa did you push Harry down the stairs?" Lucius asked.

Staring straight ahead Narcissa said in a monotonous voice, "Yes I did."

"Why?"

"Because he doesn't deserve to be in my lords bed, or to have his children. But I do."

"You know you can't have anymore children. Why are you doing this?" Lucius asked.

"That's not true. I can have children." She protested.

"What makes you think that you can have children? You knew that after you had Draco you wouldn't be able to have anymore children."

"No! No I can have children. Narcissa couldn't have children, but I can." She nearly shouted.

"You aren't Narcissa?" Voldemort asked raising an eyebrow.

"No." She said.

"Then who are you, and what did you use to make yourself look like Narcissa?" Voldemort asked leaning forwards.

"I am Bellatrix Lestrange, and I've been using a Polyjuice potion that I have stocked up." She said before she quickly changed the subject. "My lord I will willingly have your children. I can pleasure you much better then that Potter child. Just give me the chance to prove it." She said as her eyes started to clear as the potion started to fade.

"I should kill you now Bella. Harry is my mate, I will choose no other." Voldemort said pressing his lips tightly together in anger.

"No! You're supposed to be mine! They promised that I could have you!" She shouted out in anger.

"Who said you could have me?" Voldemort asked.

Realizing what she had done Bellatrix's eyes grew large as the potion forced her to tell the truth. "Dumbledore and his followers. Sure they were going to strip you of your powers, but I knew that we would be able to return them to you! Then when their defenses were down we could destroy them and take control of the wizarding world."

"So you were the spy." Severus said sharing a shocked look with Lucius.

"Yes, but it was only to help my lord." She said looking at Voldemort. "My lord you know that I would never really betray you." She shouted.

"But you did. The second you hurt my mate and turned traitor. Lucius remove her from my sight and find out where the real Narcissa is. Then take her down into the Forbidden Forest and take care of her".

"Of course my lord. Severus would you like to help?"

"I would but I believe that I should go and inform James and the others about the happenings." Severus said glaring at the struggling woman.

"Of course. Give him this for me then." Lucius said moving over to Severus' side and pressed their lips together in a soft kiss. Pulling apart, Lucius added "And this one is for you." before he moved back in to kiss Severus again.

Pulling away with glazed eyes, Severus licked his lips and said, "I'll be sure to give it to him."

Smirking, Lucius turned back to Bellatrix and grabbed her arm pulling her up from the chair.

When she started to protest, rather loudly, about her punishment, Voldemort waved his wand and cast a silencing charm on her then waved Lucius out of the room.

Walking out of the room, Lucius made sure to keep a strong hold on her arm as he dragged her behind him towards the nearest staircase.

When they were out of sight, Severus gave a nod towards Voldemort then made his way out of the room heading down towards his rooms that he shared with his mate and lover.

Sighing, Voldemort turned back to Harry and took down the barrier he had placed around him. Standing up from the bed, he made his way over to the nurse's office and opened the door. Stepping inside, Voldemort removed the sleeping charm he had placed on the woman then made his way back over to the couch beside Harry's bed.

A few minutes later, Madam Pomfrey made her way out of her office with a blush spread over her face.

"Madam I have heard nothing but good things about you, but if you fall asleep while a seriously injured patient is here again I may need to find another nurse." Voldemort said looking over at her.

"I'm terribly sorry sir. I don't know what came over me." She said bowing her head. "Has he woken up at all?"

"Yes, just after his mediwizard left."

"Headmaster I know it isn't my place to order you around, but if there are pregnant students in the school I must be informed.

"Madam if I had known you would have been informed. I know how dangerous it is for a pregnant student, especially a pregnant male, when they are in school." Voldemort said.

"Of course headmaster. I also must ask that you inform the students that they are to come to me if they know, or think, that they are pregnant. Precautions must be taken to ensure the safety of both mother and child." She said as she cast a charm to check Harry's vital signs. "Nothing dangerous. I would prefer that he stay here for the night, but I know he'd rather return to his dorm so he can rest more comfortably."

"Very well. I will inform him of that when he wakes up." Voldemort said waving her away.

"Are you sure headmaster? I'm sure you have other things that you need to do." Pomfrey said.

"I'm sure. There is something else that I would like to discuss with Mr. Snape-Malfoy when he wakes up. I'll just discuss it with him while he walks back to his rooms."

"Of course Headmaster." After taking a few more seconds to look over Harry and write in his chart, Pomfrey then turned around and made her way back into her office with Harry's chart in hand.

When the door swung shut behind her, Voldemort reached over and gently shook Harry's shoulder.

"Come on love let's get back down to our rooms." Voldemort whispered when Harry sleepily opened his eyes.

Giving a mumbled noise of agreement, Harry sat up and swung his legs over the edge of the bed. Stretching his arms up and over his head, Harry gave a wide yawn then stepped down onto the floor.

"What happened with Narcissa?" Harry asked as they walked out into the hallway and down towards the dungeons.

"This is something we should discuss later in the day." Voldemort said as they came upon a group of students loitering in the hall. Clearing his throat, Voldemort looked at the students and said, "Shouldn't you be heading to the great hall for dinner?"

"Sorry headmaster. We're going." The three students said together before they quickly turned and made their way down the hall occasionally glancing backwards.

"Are we going to the great hall?" Harry asked.

"No you're going back to our rooms. I'm going to the great hall for a few minutes then I'll join you back in our rooms for dinner." Voldemort said.

"Should I go and talk to my parents then?" Harry asked when they stopped outside of Severus' classroom.

"No go ahead and rest and I'll be back shortly." Voldemort said stepping into the classroom with Harry.

"Alright. I'm going to write to Rita Skeeter, since she's been writing good things lately, about the baby before the rumors get out of hand." Harry said.

"Alright, but either lay in the bed or lay on the couch. I don't want you stressing yourself out." Voldemort warned.

"I won't I promise." Harry said accepting the kiss that Voldemort dropped on his lips.

Dropping one last kiss on Harry's lips, Voldemort turned and made his way out of the classroom heading for the great hall.

Turning around, Harry made his way into his fathers office and opened the secret passage leading down into the Chamber of Secrets.

Making his way into the bedroom, Harry grabbed his bathing robe then moved over to the desk and grabbed a few pieces of parchment and a quill that never ran out of ink or dried up. Holding his items close, Harry made his way out of the room and over to the room that housed the hot spring.

Stripping out of his clothes, Harry set them aside then conjured up a writing tray that hovered so he could easily write his note. Setting his parchment and quill on the tray Harry grabbed a hold of the end of it and walked down into the water and sat down.

Picking up his quill, Harry nibbled at the tip while he tried to think what he should write in his letter to Skeeter.
