It was a few days later when Hermione walked into the living room of the trunk and sunk down on one of the huge pillows next to the fireplace. Harry and Severus sat on the couch cuddling. She smiled when she saw Severus´s hands lying protectively over her friends’ stomach where they´d been almost every minute since he found out that Harry was pregnant.
“Is he awake?” She asked quietly.
“Yeah, I am.” Harry said opening his eyes.
“Everything alright?”
“I found out a little more about what´s Dumbledore´s been up to the last years. I met with Minerva every evening since we got back and we´re through the most recent stuff. I think we should call the others so I can tell all of you.”
“Minerva?”
“She offered me to call her so a few days ago. We spend a lot of time together and got pretty close.”
“That´s great. Do you want to summon all of them?”
“No, just the ones at school, we can fill the others in at the next meeting. But before we do that, I have one thing I wanted to talk to you about first. I started reading the Diary from the year Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald and I don´t know, something feels off. It´s like he changed after the battle.”
“But that´s understandable don´t you think? I mean he didn´t kill him, but he took out the most dangerous wizard of that time. That´s bout to do something to you.” Severus said.
“Yes, but I have this feeling that there is something behind it. Here.” She gave Severus the book.
“I want both of you to read it. When your done and can tell me that you don´t agree, I´ll won´t mention it again but I really think there is something that’s not right.”
“Alright Mione we will look at it tonight but let’s get the others here. I want to know what you found out.”
20 minutes later all the Hogwarts students who already joint were sitting in the living room. Harry had called Kreacher who brought tea and went to fedge his cousin as well. Only Ron and Hermione knew Harry´s news and for the time being Harry wanted to keep it that way. So he settled down between Ron and Hermione and stood to address the others as soon as everyone was settled in.
“Hermione has a little more to tell us about our dear headmaster. After she´s through with everything I want to talk about the progress in recruiting and anything else that needs to be talked about. Hermione?”
“Alright, where to start. I guess I go with what happened first. Your father didn´t give the invisibility cloak to him, he stole it because he knew that your parents could hide and get out when Riddle attacked. He killed Minerva´s brother, he was the only one she had left, and he was one of the best healers our world has seen so far, only so that he could be sure she wouldn´t leave school. It sounds stupid but I think he did out of, aehm Love? I don´t know could also be obsession. It´s good that we know about that because we will have to keep a close eye on her just to be sure. I know she is a great witch, and she can hold her own in a fight, but an obsessed mind is capable of anything really.
He knew that Quirrel was possessed by Voldemort, and he knew that we were going after the stone and did nothing to stop or help us. He actively hindered Remus to take custody of you and spoke out against him at the ministry. I kind of understand that one though. Don´t get me wrong, I love Remus, but he turns every month, and you were a baby. The one thing I absolutely don´t understand is that he also made it so that Mr. Weasley is unable to get a promotion or another job in the ministry despite his qualifications. To be honest I don´t think your dad minds it that much Ron, because he loves his work, but he should be the one in charge of that department for at least five years by now. He can accomplish that because, he had fudge under his control, but you already know that. What you don´t know is that he has it since before Fudge was elected, so everything the idiot did since then is on him. Minerva found out that it was because of him that the dementors came to your neighbourhood in fifth year and he also controlled Umbridge when she was here. The blood quills, the theoretical defence lessons, all the rules that toad reinforced came from him.”
“So… He´s actually screwing with everyone.”
“Yes, he is. There is one more thing...”
“Yes?”
“He doesn´t plan to let us survive the war. From the time we started here he rambles on that I´m not good for you and that I threaten his plans.”
“What?” Ron yelled.
“He wants to kill you?”
“Yes, he wants to kill Harry and me. I´m not sure why but he is sure that Harry will survive the fight with Riddle. He knows that if that happens, Harry will be untouchable. He is scared that with my help Harry will take over the ministry. I don´t know why though. It could be that he´s scared that Harry will become dark or just that he´s afraid of people finding out what he did. Could be a whole other reason but he didn´t clarify.”
“So, all we know is that we have to get rid of him before that. But how do we do it. We can´t kill him, I mean we could but then the entire Auror department will be looking for his killer. The same goes for keeping him locked up somewhere and we can´t just call up the press and tell them everything. Even though we can prove it he will disappear and then we won´t be able to predict his moves at all.” Draco concluded.
“This is indeed a problem we need to solve. Maybe we could somehow make him seem mentally unstable. He would be locked up in Saint Mungos with no access to his wand or, but bear in mind that this is highly illegal, we could drain him his powers. Should you want to kill him we could use poison that would have the effect of a long illness, but I would have to find a way to make it untraceable should they do an autopsy.” Severus offered.
“We have to think about that. I don´t like any of these options but if we don´t find another way one of them will have to make do. Sev, I want you to work on the poison either way. Just in case everything else wont work. Killing him is the last result. I want him convicted and I want the world to know what he did.” Harry said determinedly.
“Then we will try anything we can to get there.” Hermione said and took his hand.
“Good than this will be enough about that for now. Anyone anything to share?”
“Yes Harry.” Luna said.
“The entire class of first year Ravenclaws wants to join.”
“How´d you do that?”
“Oh, Padma helped me. She´s a prefect and had to calm down one of them after a nightmare so she started telling her a little bit of your time at school and the other girls woke up. They´re your biggest fans now and told the boys everything. All of them want to help you.”
“You didn´t tell them about the other stuff, did you?”
“No, I don´t think they need to know just yet. None of them will be able to shield their minds. I think we shouldn´t tell them about the DA too. Just train them in combat a bit and occlumency. And only after they can master the latter to some extent should we include them into our ranks. If they tell their siblings and friends that we train them more should be coming in to train as well. They will be more inclined to join after we already helped them.”
“I think that´s a solid plan, that also means that we will have to start the training soon. Any volunteers?”
“You should do it Harry; you were great when you taught the DA.” Neville said.
“No! He can´t.” Severus said quickly. He would not have Harry and the baby around a horde of first years who try to learn all kinds of spells.
“Why not?” Draco asked looking at his godfather suspiciously.
“Because, I have way too much to do already and so do most of us. Maybe we should ask the other teachers to split up their time. If Flitwick, Sprout and McGonagall teach one or two hours a week they should come along quite nicely. If some of you would be willing to help out now and then it should go even better.”
“I will help her Harry, as long as it isn´t during Quidditch practice.” Ginny said.
“Thanks Ginny, that’s great.”
“I will help too. And I´m sure Padma und Parvati wouldn´t mind either.” Cho offered and after he looked at the twins who nodded in agreement he sighed in relief.
“Good, I will speak to the Professor´s and will set it up. I also want at least one in each house to learn healing with Madame Pomphrey. Trust me she will need the help ones the attacks start.”
“I already know a lot about healing. My mother is a medi witch. She never worked as one other then tending to the dark lord’s followers, but she is really good. If you would hold the healing class at headquarters with both of them teaching, you should have a few well-trained people in your ranks.”
“That´s great Draco, I know I want to learn healing and I know you want too Mione, anyone else interested?”
“I am.” Padma said.
“Good, Draco I assume you will be there as well.” Draco nodded.
“Very well, do we have any progress with the Hufflepuffs? They´re the only house where we don´t have someone from.”
“I started talking to Susan Bones, but I am careful like you said since her mom works in the ministry.” Neville told him.
“What about Justin? His parents are muggles, maybe it would be safer to start with him.”
“Maybe… I will try.”
“Draco? What about the Slytherins?”
“I was wrong about Pansy; she has the mark. She told me she took it a few weeks ago but I am sure that Blaise Zabini will join if I tell him everything. He told me that his parents want him to take the mark at Christmas break and that he doesn´t want it.”
“Very good but don´t tell him everything, just enough so he will be convinced. Everything else you can tell him AFTER he signs the contract. What about the younger ones?”
“Not much luck so far. Maybe we should just offer to train them as well and see were it takes us from there.”
“Alright but you will have to train them yourselves or have Blaise do it, you have enough to do with your student teacher position, recruiting and soon the healing class. It wouldn´t do any good to have them tell their siblings that I arranged their training.”
“Of course. We will handle it.”
“Has anyone else anything they have to say?”
“Fred and George told me to tell you that they need money for the shop. Something about new stuff you talked about.”
“I will meet them tomorrow and take care of that. If that´s all? I have to talk to Hermione and Dudley alone. Ron, Severus I need you here also, everyone else can go. Thank you all, you´re doing great work.”
Harry waited for everyone to leave before he went over to Severus to settle down in his arms again.
“They are all doing what you say. Why are they all listening to you?” Asked Dudley after he came a little closer and sat down next to the couch.
“Because they know that Harry is our only hope.” Ron sat stretching out his legs.
“What do you need Harry.” Hermione asked.
“I thought a little more about my situation and there are two things we need to discuss. I can´t fly anymore and I shouldn´t be around almost all the potions we do this year.”
“Your right, any ideas?”
“Yes, but they´re both not what people would describe as ethical.”
“So? Are you going to tell us?” Ron asked.
“Well… I think if Severus teaches Dudley all the potions, we need to brew this year he could take the class in my stead. He is really good at them and if you partner up with him Mione, there is nothing that would seem out of the ordinary. We would have to find a way to make poly juice potion last longer than an hour because we have double lessons, but it should work. The same with quidditch. I need someone to fly in my stead, which is a little more difficult because I need someone who is a good seeker and I can´t go with Ginny because she is on the team. I thought about Krum, I know he is better than me but if he dials it down a bit it could work.”
“Well, your right, nothing about this is ethical but we have to do it anyways. It´s too much off a risk otherwise.”
“Why?” Dudley asked confused. Harry looked down at his hands.
“Because Harry is pregnant.” Hermione said quickly.
“What? But he… he´s a dude. Men can´t get pregnant.”
“Wizards can.” Severus told him.
“This is insane.”
“Not really, if you think about it. We can kill someone with a stick and two words. It is only logical that something like this is possible. It´s not very common because at least one of the two has to be quite powerful but there are a few hundred wizards in the world that carried a child. Since Harry and Severus are both very powerful it was bound to happen at some point. Although I would have hoped that they wouldn´t be so careless considering that we´re at war.” Hermione told him in her lecture voice.
“Mione we just didn´t think…”
“I know you didn´t and now here we are. It will be fine; we will handle it like everything else, but it is inconvenient.”
“We know, we know. But don´t act like you aren´t happy about it. I know you; you can´t wait to hold the baby in your arms.”
“Yeah… that´s true.”
“Have you decided if you want to know the gender yet?” Ron asked.
“Not really, Severus wants to know so we can prepare but I´m not sure if I do. I think it would be nice to be surprised.”
“How about we compromise. I will wait another month and then Poppy does the test. We won’t tell you and I won’t show the stuff I buy that´s not gender neutral. We will make a list of names for both boys and girls and will choose the name on the day it will be born.” Severus said kissing him on the cheek.
“I can live with that as long as no one else knows. I don´t want to find out accidentally. But you don´t have to wait, if you want to know now you can.”
“Thanks.” Severus said smiling.
“No Harry, I want to know too!” Hermione cried.
“Yeah… Me too.” Ron said.
“Please Harry, please, please, please.” Hermione begged; Harry rolled his eyes.
“Fine, I guess the god parents can know as well.” Harry said giving up but smiling at his friends.
“Really you make us the god parents?” Hermione asked with tears in her eyes.
“Of course, who else would I choose. But I warn you, if either of you slips…” He looked at them dangerously.
“Thank you mate. We won´t, I promise. Come on let’s get Poppy here so we can find out.” Ron said excitedly.
“Why don´t you go and get her guys.” Harry said and watched as his friends left.
“I´m sorry I should have asked you first.” He said to Severus.
“Are you alright with them being the god parents?”
“I couldn´t think of anyone better.” Severus whispered in his ears.
Harry had a lot to do in the next few days. Hermione contacted Krum and they met at Headquarters. Harry told Fred and George to come as well so they could take care of Business. Hermione and Harry told Victor when he has to be at Hogwarts and Harry gave him one of the portkeys that could bring him straight from Bulgaria to headquarters. He was pleasantly surprised when Viktor told him that one of his fellow Durmstrang students was about to become headmaster and had asked for a meeting between them. Harry told Hermione to arrange a visit to Durmstrang for the weekend and send him on his way. He used the opportunity to tell Mrs. Malfoy about the healing class and she was happy to help. She also had a few ideas, what they should teach, and when and Harry left it to her to come up with a lesson plan.
The next day he made his way up to Poppy to speak to her as well as to go to his check-up. The Medi witch smiled warmly when he came in and Harry made his way to one of the beds.
“Hello Harry, Is the week already up? Come on then let´s start.”
“Hello Madame, it probably doesn´t seem this long since you saw me three days ago.”
“Ah, yes. I never saw Severus so happy. He couldn´t stop grinning after I told him the sex of the baby. After an hour or so it started to get a bit annoying.”
“Yeah… I saw how hard he tried not to give anything away, but he sure looked cute though.” Poppy laughed and finished the examen quickly. After he left the infirmary, he made his way to McGonagall´s office. After she stepped aside to let him in, he told her all about the plan regarding training and she told him that she would talk to the other heads of houses to put together a timetable. When he was through for the day, he made his way back to the dungeons just in time for dinner. He was glad that the anti-nausea potion seemed to work because he was very hungry-all the time. He sat down with Ginny and Draco, and they ate together. After a while Severus joint them and the four of them had an interesting conversation about all the experiences they had made with the dark Lord.
That was when Ginny suddenly remembered that she´d promised that she would show the other´s the memory of the fight down in the chamber. She sprang out of her seat and told Severus to get the pensive he´d got for Harry and then ran to get Ron, Hermione and Dudley to join them. After she thought about it for a second, she took out her fake galleon and wrote a message to Neville, Luna and Cho to come down to the dungeons. Twenty minutes later they all stood around the pensive and waited for Ginny to extract the memory. One after the other entered the pensive and when the last fell through, the memory started.
The others watched in awe as Harry fought the Basilisk and all of them laughed when Harry told Riddle that Dumbledore was the greatest sorcerer in the world. Harry was glad when they were back in the living room. These were memories he´d rather not think about too hard. It reminded him that in his seventeen years of life he was close to death so many times that he was afraid that he would lose the fear of it.
“So, it´s true. You are a fucking superhero.” Dudley said after it was quiet for some time. Harry was glad that it broke the tension and they all started laughing. He didn´t like the looks he received. No, showing people stuff like this was not helping him to be normal. To be just Harry. He saw Ginny yawning and suggested that they call it a night.
Severus installed the wards that would alert them if someone was at his door and followed Harry into the bedroom. They washed up and climbed into bed.
“I know we should start with the diary but I´m way to tired tonight.”
“Then we look at it tomorrow.” Severus said softly pulling him into his arms so he could smell his hair.
“Works for me. It´s much nicer to just lay here with you.”
“Obviously.” Severus said pressing a kiss into his hair.
“We´re doing the right thing right? I´m afraid sometimes that we´re doing this all wrong.”
“No, we´re doing what we have to. It´s not what you have to do to achieve what you must, but it is the intend behind.”
“I hope you´re right.”
“I am most of the time.” Severus said and Harry giggled.
“Well, then there is nothing to be worried about.”
“Oh, there is plenty, and you know it.” Severus said quietly.
“Yes… I do.”
“You know though, that you will never have to deal with it alone again.”
“Yeah, I know that too.” Harry whispered.
“Good. I love you, Harry.”
“Love you too.” Harry said with a yawn and a few minutes later he fell asleep.
