AN: Okay, so this is the end. I hope everyone is happy with this, well except for that one reviewer who has a problem with HP/CD/DM trios. I am happy to announce that there will be a sequel. YEAH! It is tentatively called “Seventh of the Seventh, and will be under the general heading. There will be F/M, M/M, M/M/M, and a lot of other warnings. It's not an epilogue, but a continuations. So, check it out, alright?
Also, I've got another started, but I'm not ready to upload it, cause I haven't decided on whether it will be under Harry/Snape or Harry/Sirius. Somehow, that one just sounds weird, but that never stopped me, before. Also, it can't be Harry/Draco, cause I have other plans for him. I've put up a teaser for it at the end of the 16th chapter of my “Auror and the Fountain” fic. If you're interested, go have a look. You don't Have to read that actual story, but I've heard it's pretty good.
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Life goes on
Harry screamed and his fist connected with the blond who stood too close to him. It was taking too long and he was exhausted, but the pains kept coming and they were getting closer and stronger. Even Lucius looked concerned, his Malfoy mask slipping from his face, and that did not bode well for the Chosen-one.In a very unSlytherin move, Draco climbed up from the floor and returned to the side of his bondmate, catching Harry's arm before any more damage could be inflicted to the pale skin of his face. “Relax, Love. It'll be over soon.”
Near the older blond, Cedric whispered, “What's wrong, Lucius?”
“The baby isn't positioned correctly. It would be bad if he was a woman, but for a man, this is possibly a tragedy.” the two men kept their voices soft, so that they would not scare the boy on the table.
“What can we do?”
“We need someone with smaller hands. We have to turn the baby, get its head down, so that it can fit. Right now, it's laying on its side.”
“I have an idea. I'll be right back.” Cedric ran out the door and Harry screamed again.
“Do not push, Harry. You have to hold back.” Lucius said. Harry growled at him and Draco looked frightened. “Just hold on. We're trying to help you.”
“Where did Cedric go?” Harry yelled as another contraction hit and he screamed again.
“He didn't say. He'll be back, though.” Lucius responded, unhelpfully.
The door opened and Cedric came in, followed by a small blond boy with a blue and gold crested shirt on. Harry was not looking their way, but Draco frowned at the little Ravenclaw. “This is Reagan. Reagan Creevey. He's Collin and Dennis' little brother. Just started, last year. He's doing some work with his brothers on the complete pamphlet of photos around the school. Dumbledore arranged for them to stay here.” Cedric said as they reached the table. “He's got the smallest hands I could think of.” he told Lucius.
“Then, it is lucky that we decided to remain at the castle until this child was born. Now, Mr. Creevey, do you know anything about babies, and where they come from?” Lucius turned to the little blond and gave him a quick explanation of what needed to be done. The small eagle stepped next to the blond man and allowed Lucius and Cedric to guide his arms toward the opening in Harry's body.
Harry screamed again, and Reagan jumped, but Cedric's hands on his shoulders kept him from backing away. “You're doing great, Reagan. That's right. Can you feel it?”
“Yes. It's warm. I feel the arm. Okay, I think that's its neck, so just to the right, yes. That must be the head. I'm past the ear, I feet the top of the head.”
“Do be careful how you hold it. We don't want to injure the babe, just carefully guide it to the side. Bring it down. Harry, you must remain very still. Let the boy move your child. He's going to turn the baby. It's very crucial that nothing keep him from doing so. Hold very still. Now, Reagan. Can you turn the baby?”
“I've got the head between my hands. It's like a little quaffle. I'm turning it. Hey, it's not hard at all. The baby is wiggling, but it's wiggling in the same way that I'm turning it. Yeah, I think it's fine. Wait until my brothers hear that I helped Harry Potter to have his baby. I think it's ready.”
“Professor Flitwick would be very proud of you, young man. You have done wonderfully.” Lucius ran his hands over Harry's belly and then nodded. “You may push on the next contraction, Harry.” he said and the rest of the family sighed in relief. Harry took a deep breath as another pain lanced through him. He rose up, with Draco's help, and bore down against the pain, pushing his baby toward his temporary birth canal.
Carina Edasich Diggory Potter-Malfoy was born with a head of wild, dirty-blonde hair, pink skin and flailing limbs that promised to be ready to catch their first snitch. She was the biggest of their children at birth, weighing in at 7 lbs, 3 oz. And measuring 19 inches long.Because she had been feeling under the weather, Narcissa had not seen the baby until Carina was two weeks old, but from that point on, her first granddaughter had been the light of the blonde woman's eyes. Even Dumbledore spared a special twinkle for Harry's baby girl.
Both Harry and Ron decided that the life of an Auror was too dangerous for young fathers, and they moved on to other careers. Harry took extra lessons with Snape and started healer training in the fall, while Ron went into studying legal procedures, realizing that his strategic mind was capable of figuring out some fairly devious ideas and loopholes, which he was ready to use for the betterment of the Wizarding, and Muggle, World.
Hermione became pregnant with their second child, which turned out to be twins, and they were excited to become an even bigger family. They accepted the small home that Lucius gave them, not a mansion, but at five bedrooms, with room for additions, and two elves to care for it, it was more than they would ever afford on Ron's salary, at least until he started getting one. It was the Malfoys way of thanking the Brightest Witch of Her Time for the small tribe of little Malfoys that were now wreaking havoc in their home.
Dean and Neville took turns keeping Seamus from exhaustion with his three small babes. As the new Lord Longbottom, when Gran decided he was worthy, Neville had a stipend that kept them very comfortable and Dean started his training right beside Harry in the highest floor of St. Mungo's where the hospital held its courses.
Cedric was chosen as the new reserve seeker for the Chudley Canons, who had also hired Oliver Wood as their Keeper the year before, and won more than half of their games, and now they stood a chance at taking the league for the first time in over a century. Angelina Johnson had been asked to consider changing teams from her position on the Falcons, and if she did, they would win for sure. Lucius had to change sides once more, as his son-in-law's team was in direct contention with his long time favorite, the Kenmare Kestrels,of Ireland.
Draco and Hermione, while not close, chose to stay home, do some private study and wait until their babies were older to go on to careers. Draco was learning Advanced Runes and Potions, hoping to get his masters, while Hermione worked with Spell Theory and Arithmancy, to work toward spell creation in her future.
Snape decided that he would continue to teach until Draco had his mastery and could take over, but Roger made him vow that he would discontinue his glamour and stop being the snarky git that he was famous for. It meant that a lot of foolish little girls were now fawning over him like he was Gilderoy Lockhart, but his lover was happy, and that was all that mattered in the end. They decided to wait on another child until Severus left the school, and could contribute more time to their raising. Roger doted on Tobias and Snape had a proud look on his face whenever he was asked about his son.
Adrienne Montague was soon pregnant again, with twins this time, and his miserable presence was the cause of snickering when the family walked through Diagon Alley. Harry happened to be shopping for an anniversary present when he heard the sound and he stormed into the middle of the crowd that had formed. Adrienne and his three toddlers stood together, the children frightened by the closeness of so many people and the man encumbered by his condition and with no wand, made for a dangerous situation. The Chosen-Savior walked directly up to the group and took hold of Laramee's hand. “What took you so long? I've been waiting at Florienne's new shop for almost an hour. Come on, boys. I'm buying your favorites today. How are you feeling Adrienne?” as the Slytherin looked up confused, Harry turned to the mob. “Is there something you all need? Can't I spend some time with my friend and his family without a crowd gathering. Goodness, you'd think there was a dark wizard here or something. Come on, then.” and he led the four Montague's into the ice cream shop without further harassment.
Draco would chastise him later, and Cedric would likely look ready to faint at the very idea, but Harry had to follow his instincts. It turned out that Adrienne knew exactly what Harry should buy for his two pure-blood husbands on their second anniversary, too.
He was tempted to invite the family to the anniversary party, but thought that might be a bit too much, too soon. Instead, he arranged a regular floo call, some play dates and some supervision over any future trips into the public, until said public could be trusted not to lash out at someone who was making amends for past wrongs in the best way he could. Adrienne was no danger to anyone, any more, so Harry thought that any further torment was just abuse.
The biggest surprise for the green-eyed wizard was when the Slytherin admitted that he had come to care for Laramee Sr. and was looking forward to the birth of their twins. It was not the life he had thought he would be leading, but it was much better than the direction he had been heading. They parted at the floo, once Adrienne's husband came through to relieve Harry of his self-appointed duty with the family. Harry shook both of their hands and wished them a good day.
It was what Harry could only call 'baby steps' toward healing the Wizarding world, but that seemed to be the best description with how he and his fellow Hogwarts students were repopulating the said same world. Harry chuckled to himself as he floo'd back to the manor and his waiting family.
