Chapter Three
It took two days before the paperwork from the Minister arrived by owl.
Lucius had persuaded Severus to join him and Draco for breakfast, leaving Treca to watch the Potter boy.
Lucius accepted the stack of papers from the Ministry owl, smirking as he skimmed them. "By order of Cornelius Louis Fudge, Minister for Magic; the Bonding between Lucius Abraxus Malfoy and Narcissa Maia Black is hereby annulled. Effective this day November 3rd, 1994; signed, Cornelius Louis Fudge. I'm sorry it took so long Severus, I told you I'd make it happen." He skimmed the next decree before reading it aloud; "By order of Cornelius Louis Fudge, Minister for Magic; the child Draconis Abraxus Malfoy, son of Lucius Abraxus Malfoy and Narcissa Maia Black is hereby allowed to be blood adopted by his sire and the future bondmate of Lord Malfoy." He smirked at his long-time companion, "I'm sure you have the blood adoption potion already brewed in storage and the incantation memorized."
Severus nodded; his adoration of Lucius' son was obvious he was sure of it. "I wish…"
*Flashback*
"Mr. Snape, Nurse Pomfrey informed me of your condition. I'm disappointed in you, a boy of your talents that would be foolish enough to get pregnant. A pregnant unbetrothed Fifth Year Slytherin is an embarrassment to this school, your house and the Prince Family." Dumbledore shook his head in dismay, "What are you going to do? You're too ill to even attend classes and you're falling behind. I've held off informing your parents. Will you tell me who the father is?"
Severus was still in shock, he'd barely known for a day that he was two months along. He hadn't even gotten a chance to tell Lucius yet; his lover was too busy with NEWT level classes. Lucius was being forced to be Bonded to that odious Narcissa Black. He'd been betrothed to her sister Andromeda from the cradle but since Andromeda ran off with two months ago to be Bonded to that Muggleborn Hufflepuff they'd hoped the impending Bonding would be called off. Instead, Lady Walburga Black insisted that her youngest niece be joined to the Malfoy heir. The middle sister Bellatrix was already betrothed to the Lestrange heir, another well-known Dark Family and it wouldn't do to alienate that family. So Lucius' hopes to convince his father to allow him the choice of his own bondmate were crushed. Startled by the Headmaster's question, he stammered, "What?"
"Will you tell me dear boy," the headmaster attempted to look fatherly, "…who the father is? Perhaps, we can arrange a hurried Bonding."
Lucius was already betrothed, that wouldn't work. He cried out, "No!" then he twisted his robes in an attempt to control himself, "I mean it won't do any good. My father wouldn't allow me to be joined with a man. You see; he's a Muggle sir. Headmaster, I,"
"Then we are left with one option: ending the pregnancy."
Severus collapsed in his chair, as if he was a puppet and someone cut all his strings, "No, Headmaster please."
"You won't name the father. You have no interest in being Bonded. I'm not running a School for pregnant Unbonded witches and wizards. This is a school dedicated to education, and you can't even attend classes. What makes you think you can attend almost three more years and care for a child? We don't have childcare and you've made it quite clear your parents will not support you. What other option do you have?" the harsh words weren't tempered by the man's insincere smile.
Severus was alone, he had no options. Lily wasn't speaking to him; he lost his temper the other day at Potter and called her a Mudblood. Two weeks ago, Sirius Black the scion of that woman who was intent on ruining his life Walburga Black had tricked him into following Remus and Nurse Pomfrey. He'd discovered that Prefect Remus Lupin was a werewolf when he wandered into the tunnel under the Whomping Willow; Potter had saved him from Lupin's attack. He owed him a life debt; he owed his tormentor a life-debt. He'd been sworn to secrecy after being threatened by the Headmaster.
He'd kept his word and stayed silent, after that night he started getting sick. He was sure he'd caught the flu; he'd gone to the infirmary for some medicine and ten minutes later he'd been told he was pregnant. He was in shock, but he wanted this baby. If he couldn't be Bonded to Lucius at least he'd been given a child. Now he was going to lose the baby too, he wondered why Lucius Abraxus Malfoy bothering with scum like him. The Black sisters Narcissa and Bellatrix called him that filthy little Half-Blood. He wasn't even safe from being bullied in his own house. Lucius would graduate this spring and he would be alone. Lily wasn't speaking to him, hadn't for weeks. If he ever needed a best friend it was now.
"Mr. Snape!"
Severus closed his eyes, "A person like me doesn't deserve anything."
Dumbledore spoke the incantation.
Severus cried out in pain, his child was gone…
"Go lay down and take it easy by boy. Everything will look better in the morning."
*End Flashback*
Severus shivered.
Lucius touched his arm, "Are you alright?"
Severus attempted to smile, "I was just thinking, that's all."
"You look upset and unwell Unc,"
"Draco," Lucius interrupted his son, "I think it would be preferable if you called him Papa."
Draco grinned, "Papa, I like that." Severus Snape had been a constant part of his life as far are he could remember. His brow creased, "Can I call you Dad?"
Lucius beamed, "I'd like that." He glanced at Severus, "so when would you like to become Severus Malfoy?"
Severus shifted nervously, "Since you last mentioned that I was granted the family title seeing that I was the last of the Prince family."
"Very well then, when would you like to become Severus Prince-Malfoy?"
Severus forced himself to smile, "Whenever you want."
"Then I'll send for the solicitor. We can make a settlement for the woman and then draw up the papers." Lucius checked his watch, "isn't that dratted healer late?"
Treca announced the healer.
Severus absently squeezed Lucius' hand, "I'll take him up."
Lucius stared after him confused.
Severus escorted Healer Smythe to the room where Harry was resting he hoped, "the boy still hasn't wakened. Should we be concerned?"
"He had a bit of a shock, plus he's had a dreadful life. He maybe too frightened to wake up. I would recommend a good Mind Healer as soon as he wakes. The best I know is Ted Tonks."
Severus stiffened, "Tonks?" that was the name of that Muggleborn Hufflepuff who eloped with Andromeda Black…
"He married the eldest Black sister, disowned she was. Weren't you in the same house in school?"
Severus nodded, "She was in Lucius' year." He reached out with a shaking hand to stop the healer, "After you examine Harry, can I ask you a favor?"
"Of course." the man dipped his head.
Severus watched on as the healer examined Harry.
"Just keep casting those potions into his stomach until he wakes. Then get him to eat something light like broth or oatmeal." The healer turned to the other man. "What did you need?"
Severus swallowed, "You see, this is very embarrassing to admit but when I was a Fifth Year I got pregnant. It was Lucius'; I didn't get a chance to tell him. I only knew for about a day. He was already in the middle of planning a Bonding to Narcissa Black at the time. I was pressured into an abortion, because I was very sick. I could hardly leave my bed when the Headmaster summoned me to his office. We've been intimate since but I've never gotten pregnant again."
The healer nodded, "Do you know what incantation he used?"
Severus shook his head, "It was too traumatic, I wanted my baby very much but the Headmaster wouldn't allow me to attend while pregnant if I wasn't bonded or at least betrothed. I couldn't have the child at home because I had an abusive Muggle father."
The healer cast a few spells and then grew angry, "How dare he! That spell's illegal!"
Severus felt cold all over, "What spell?"
"Your body bears the trace of an illegal abortion spell. It not only ends the pregnancy but renders the bearer infertile."
Severus fainted.
XoooooX
Lucius was about to floo call his solicitor when Treca popped into the study.
"Master! The Healer be calling you. It's Master Severus."
Lucius forgot all about his floo call and tore upstairs.
Throwing open the door to Severus' room, "What Happened?"
"I gave him some very bad news and he fainted, Lord Malfoy."
"he is my intended, you will tell me." Lucius snapped.
"Until he permits me I cannot," knowing full well that the killing of a future heir should be reported to the head of that family.
"Was it about Harry?"
Healer Smythe shook his head, "No, it was about himself. He will be very upset when he wakes, you must not be angry with him. He was young and scared; he was very alone. He never foresaw this outcome. You will be filling suit when he informs you, I'm sure."
"What are you talking about?" Lucius stormed.
"I'm torn between healer-patient privilege and what I should inform you of as Head of the Malfoy family." The Malfoy healer paced.
Irritated, Lucius sat on the bed next to Severus, "Eneverate." Casting the spell that would force his lover to consciousness before the healer could stop him.
Severus' eyes blinked, he sat Lucius' worried face and turned away. "I can't talk to you right now."
"Then tell Smythe he can talk to me. I have to understand. We're supposed to be Bonded." Lucius protested.
Severus couldn't look at him, "We can't be Bonded. I can't say it."
"Potions Master Snape was forced in school to have an abortion."
Lucius shook with fury, "Someone killed my child? My first born?"
"He was intimidated, he was so ill he couldn't attend classes. You were already going to be Bonded to Ms. Black so he couldn't have,"
Lucius turned Severus to face him, "If you were pregnant it would have voided the betrothal. Didn't you know that? Father would have had to let us be Bonded. No Malfoy is ever born a bastard."
Severus sobbed, keening, "I wanted my baby."
"Lord Malfoy, the spell was illegal."
Lucius' silver eyes flashed, "Why?"
"Because, it's so powerful it makes those it's cast on infertile."
Lucius pulled Severus into his arms, "I'll ruin him. No one kills a Malfoy and avoids punishment. I'll fix this; you're still going to be Severus Prince-Malfoy. I'll find some way to reverse the spell."
The healer left them.
XoooooX
Draco heard his father run up stairs, he waited a bit and went up to check on Potter. Since Potter collapsed, he couldn't help thinking about him. He had been present when Uncle Sev, no Papa showed Dad the tiny Gryffindor's scars. He was furious, he and Harry might have been called school rivals and they fought more often then were pleasant to one another. Draco had been lucky to not really suffer any serious punishment. His mother had wanted to take away his potions lab but dad had told him that his punishment was that he was going to be locked out of the lab until he was well and only allowed inside with his godfather present until he could be trusted not to do something so foolish. Mother was furious, ranting and raving how he should be beaten for breaking rules. They weren't even her rules, they were Severus' rules and the lab had been a gift from his godfather and soon to be papa.
He hadn't really noticed the relationship between his father and his godfather, he was rarely alone with them to watch them interact. But seeing his godfather plead with his father to do something because of Harry and how easily they acted like they were a couple he was okay with it. His soon to be Papa had taught him and loved him, his dad gave him lots of gifts and rarely punished him, protecting him from his mother's wrath.
He made his way into Harry's room to find the boy was still unconscious. Draco was worried; it would be two nights since he fainted come dinner. His friends would laugh at him for worrying about Potter, but he couldn't help it. Come to think about it, the one who instigated all their fights were either himself or Weasley. He'd have to work on that, he got the feeling Harry spooked easily and didn't like to have his friends insulted. So what if Weasley grew up in a barn? Or Granger was a Muggleborn? He was lucky his soon to be Papa hadn't hear the things he'd said, he was sure he'd have been punished…
Draco sat on the chair beside the bed; he'd learn to curb his tongue. He wasn't going to let anyone upset the tiny Gryffindor. He hoped dad won, he wanted Harry safe from the people who hurt him.
