Chapter four
The two groups stared at each other completely stunned and unsure what to say. Harry, Blaise and Orion had joined Gabriella in the sun room after breakfast and to tell her about what had happened the evening before when Draco, Narcissa and Pansy had walked into the room before stopping dead at the sight of Harry. Gabriella, Harry and Blaise all had deer in the lumos looks on their faces. Suddenly Orion let out a whimper and then started wailing loudly, clearly sensing the growing tension in the room and in Blaise who was holding him. Quickly Blaise's attention was on Orion as he murmured soothingly to him while Harry fished in his pockets for Orion's dummy.
"I think its in my pocket," Blaise said as he started gently bouncing him. Nodding Harry quickly searching his pockets before triumphantly pulling out the dummy and sucking it to clean it before rubbing the teat against Orion's lips. As soon as it was in his mouth the whimpers stopped and he relaxed against Blaise.
"What the hell…" Draco started loudly but was cut off by three anxious shushes. "What the hell is going on? Why the hell is Potter here? And whose baby is that?" Draco snapped but quieter this time.
"This is Orion Blaise Potter, my son, Blaise found me while I was in labour and delivered him before offering us safety here," Harry said softly before Blaise could answer.
"Orion?" Narcissa asked.
"Yes for Sirius," Harry nodded understanding the question.
"Why would you need safety?" Pansy sneered.
"Watch your tone," Blaise growled, the effect was a little spoilt by the baby still being rocked in his arms who gurgled happily around his dummy after the growl. Draco smiled slightly amused at the image along with Harry.
"No one but Hermione knew I was pregnant, they would have made me abort him. Just as they would make me give him up now," Harry said softly, unable to stop himself from reaching out and placing a hand on Orion's stomach.
"Dumbledore can not have his weapon distracted with a son," Narcissa said in understanding.
"Can't have his pawn distracted with a son more like," Harry snorted.
"Come sit down, tea anyone?" Gabriella said pleasantly pulling herself together.
"So you are what…hiding from the light side?" Draco asked eyeing the three of them curiously as he seated himself next to his mother on the other free sofa, Pansy having to sit beside Gabriella, to her clear disappointment.
"Basically yes. They would make me give him up," Harry nodded.
"So you are thinking of going dark?" Narcissa questioned cautiously.
"I would rather not fight at all, but if Voldemort will allow me and Orion to live freely then I will choose the dark over the side that would take my son away from me," Harry shrugged.
"So that's why you were buying all the baby things yesterday," Draco smirked seeing the blanket Orion was wrapped in and the stag cuddly toy lying on the table.
"Would you like to hold him?" Harry offered seeing the way Draco was peering curiously at Orion. Four sets of shocked eyes and one partly amused, partly grateful pair locked on him. Harry knew that he needed to bury the hatchet with Draco, but he was also willing to give him another chance to prove he wasn't a prat given how much Blaise thought of him. He knew Blaise loved Draco like a brother and he didn't want to make things difficult between them.
"I erm…I've never held a baby," Draco said staring at Orion nervously.
"Here, just support his neck and hold him closely, he likes that," Harry lifted Orion from Blaise's arms and stood, pressing him into Draco's before he could complain. Draco quickly held the small body close before peering down into wide blue eyes that were staring up at him curiously.
"He's able to see a lot better now than when he was born, he's used to dark colouring so your blonde is probably fascinating," Blaise chuckled wrapping his arm around Harry as he settled back beside him, hugging him close in thanks. He just rested his hand on Blaise's thigh and squeezed while watching amused as Draco stared slightly awed down at Orion.
"He is a gorgeous baby Mr Potter," Narcissa smiled as she looked at Orion.
"Just call me Harry please, and thank you," Harry smiled brightly at the woman.
"He's such a darling as well, so well behaved. Here these are the pictures we have been taking," Gabriella enthused pulling out the photo album of her own copies of the pictures they had taken.
"He's so small," Draco said slightly shocked.
"You should have seen him when he was born," Blaise laughed.
"You really delivered him, you?" Draco smirked at Blaise who pretended to look hurt.
"Yes I did thank you very much,"
"How on earth did that come about?" Draco asked looking between them.
"I had gone to owl a letter to Sirius, I was coming down the stairs when I got a bad contraction, I had thought I just had bad backache. I went into one of the unused classrooms to rest when my waters broke. He was two weeks early. I was in there for an hour panicking when Blaise and Theo came in," Harry laughed as he told the first part of the story.
"Me and Theo had been going to post a letter to Theo's parents when we heard a groan, we went to investigate and found Harry…" Blaise took over telling the story from his side.
"So Granger is the only person that knew before Theo and Blaise stumbled across you?" Draco asked shocked.
"Yup. We had researched it and had it all planned out that Hermione would deliver him when the time came. We were going to go straight to the muggle flat we had found once school finished, but Orion threw that plan off. Hermione is his godmother, well once we have the blessing," Harry smiled.
"Your blessing him? In the Old Ways?" Narcissa gasped shocked.
"He was blessed correctly through Harry's pregnancy, Harry and Hermione both practice the Old Ways," Blaise informed them. Harry smiled at the use of Hermione's first name, she and Blaise had spoken that much over fire calls, with or without him present that they had a budding friendship of their own growing, Blaise becoming fonder of Hermione as time passed. Harry knew he was also making the effort for him which made it even sweeter.
"I suppose Weasley is going to be his godfather?" Pansy snorted. Harry felt Blaise tense minutely and saw his eyes flick to Draco, but it was enough to tell him what he had suspected, and it warmed and reassured him all the more to know that Blaise did truly think of Orion as his son with this knowledge.
"Weasley does not know yet but I'm sure…" Blaise started to say but was interrupted by Harry.
"But I have chosen Hermione. If he will accept Draco should be his godfather," Harry smiled at the completely stunned faces in the room, including Blaise's.
"M…me?" Draco choked.
"Harry…" Blaise started.
"Hermione is his godmother as my best friend, Draco is your best friend, so he should be godfather, its traditional," Harry said softly looking up at Blaise.
"Harry…if you choose my best friend to be his godfather than your as good as saying I'm Orion's father, are you sure that's what you want?" Blaise asked hesitantly as he scanned Harry's face.
"Yes I'm sure, it's your choice if you want that step," Harry smiled touching Blaise's hand. "I meant what I said last night I can't imagine anyone better to be his dad," Blaise searched Harry's face before grinning happily and pressing a deep, teasing kiss to Harry's mouth. Harry sighed happily reaching up to touch Blaise's cheek, loving just being able to touch Blaise and kiss him, it had only been hours since they had confessed but he constantly wanted to touch Blaise. Blaise pressed closer to Harry rubbing his tongue along Harry's lips before pulling back and pressing seven kisses to his lips before pulling back fully and turning to look at Draco.
Gabriella was beaming happily, Narcissa, Pansy and Draco were all staring at them completely stunned.
"What do you say Drake? Up for being a godfather?" Blaise grinned at his friend who spluttered slightly.
"Your serious? P…Potter…Potter you want me to be your baby's godfather? Your seriously happy with that?" Draco choked out incredulously.
"Your like a brother to Blaise and it's the traditional choice for a godfather, I want you to be Orion's godfather," Harry smiled. "Besides he seems to like you," Harry shrugged. Sure enough they looked to see Orion lying happily in Draco's arms playing with the edge of his blanket.
"I think you have put my son into shock Mr…Harry," Narcissa chuckled.
"I…I'd be honoured thank you. Looks like your going to be the first to be a parent out of all of us after all Blaise," Draco grinned at his friend.
"He already is," Gabriella laughed. "Or might as well be, they make such a cute family the three of them," She sighed happily getting a blush from Harry and an eye roll from Blaise.
"What about his real father, isn't he going to pose a problem in this happy little scene?" Pansy interrupted getting a glare from all of them, including Draco who caught the wince Blaise gave. Harry tightened the hand that was still resting on Blaise's thigh also catching the wince.
"Actually no, his name is only around about 300 hundred years old in our world, mine has much more standing and power, not to mention when combined with the Zabini name the solicitors would just advise him to give in while he's ahead. And I would use my name and wealth before I let him anywhere near Orion," Harry shrugged but once again he had stunned people in the room. "What?"
"Love, your well known for not only hating throwing your weight around but also for knowing little about our world. Knowing that your name alone, never mind combined with mines would be influential is slightly shocking," Blaise said but Harry was smiling shyly at him for the endearment.
"Oh, me and Hermione caught ourselves up on the Wizarding world traditions and such in fourth year. We just had to hide it so that Dumbledore wouldn't get too twitchy and start breathing down our necks," Harry waved it off.
"So Orion's other father for now wouldn't be a good dad?" Draco asked stroking a finger down one of Orion's soft cheeks.
"I wouldn't trust him with a flobberworm never mind a baby," Harry snorted.
"Its handy that Blaise is such a good dad and that you two have fallen in love when you might need a bit of extra boost behind your name to keep Orion's dad away, not to mention your place in the war will be helped by being with Blaise, and having Draco as your son's godfather, despite the animosity between you," Pansy sneered. At once Blaise snarled angrily while Draco, Narcissa and Gabriella all looked at her horrified.
"How dare you speak to my mate like that in our home! Harry isn't a money, name grasping little whore like you!" Blaise snapped making to stand up but Harry placed a restraining hand on his chest.
"It is handy that Blaise is an amazing father with Orion without even seeming aware of it," Harry conceded gaining a complete stillness to the room and a shocked, worried look from Blaise. "Its also handy that he has feelings for both of us and is willing to take on a partner who has a baby at sixteen and is in an extremely dangerous place in the war. Its handy that he can help me try and find safety for the little family that I have and that he is so supportive, kind and generous. Its handy that I know even without our relationship he and Gabriella will help make sure that I keep Orion. However instead of handy I think of it as exceedingly, amazing good fortune and I thank the mother and magics every day that Blaise and Theo came across me that day and that I fell in love with such an amazing man. And as for Draco, yes we have never had any form of good relationship before, but I believe we have managed to sit in the same room for nearly an hour without saying one rude thing to each other, besides that I trust Blaise's judgement and he trusts and loves Draco, and he says that Draco would go to the ends of the earth for someone that he cares about, that is the kind of man I want as our son's godfather! And I would never, never choose someone who will have such an instrumental part in my son's life because they are going to be handy!" Harry said calmly but bitingly, never taking his intense eyes away from Pansy who sat gawping at him.
He felt as the tension drained out of Blaise at his words and Blaise reached up to cover the hand that was still on his chest. "I think you should leave now, you are not welcome back here, your flooing rights to this house and access through the wards will be revoked," Blaise said coldly.
"Draco are you going to let them…"
"You just suggested the only reason someone would want to pick me as a godfather would be because of my name. You also insulted my best friend and the bearer of my god son to be. I have nothing to say to you," Draco sneered at the girl. Pansy turned to Narcissa.
"I believe all has been said, I suggest you leave and learn to curb that vicious tongue of yours," Narcissa sniffed. Pansy choked out a shocked squeak before standing and fleeing from the room. "Now we must plan a dinner over at the manor so that Lucius can meet Orion and have a small celebration, Miss Granger of course will have to come as well," Narcissa smiled brightly as though nothing had been said.
"We'll have to see about sneaking her away if you give us a date," Blaise nodded.
"Why would you have to sneak Granger away? Where is she?" Draco frowned as he stood and passed Orion back to Harry who cuddled him close. Blaise repeated Harry's move from earlier and rested his hand on Orion's stomach while he placed his other arm along the back of the sofa behind Harry allowing him to snuggle in.
"She's at her house, we think the Order might be keeping tabs on her as well. She is waiting until she is taken to Headquarters so that she can tell Remus and Sirius about Orion face to face as I obviously can't do it," Harry explained.
"She firecalls here daily to check how things are and see Orion, Theo taught her to set up a floo connection off the books. We could get her here and back that way," Blaise suggested.
"Wonderful we shall arrange it for some time this week," Narcissa nodded looking happy. "And after we can all sit together and discuss what you wish to do and how we will start negotiations with the Dark Lord,"
"Lucius will help?" Blaise asked quietly holding Harry closer to him, Harry could feel the tension in his body at the thought of what they were going to have to do. Resting his hand on top of Blaise's he smiled at him gently with a confidence that he didn't feel.
"Oh you are in love aren't you," Narcissa sighed causing Harry to look away from Blaise's eyes suddenly remembering their exchange wasn't private. He turned bright red when he caught the 'aww' look Narcissa and Gabriella were exchanging. Looking cautiously at Draco he found him looking amused.
"I never thought I would catch Blaise Zabini going all lovey dovey," he grinned. Harry snickered lightly as Blaise started grumbling but to Harry's happiness didn't move.
"I'm sorry, you both just look so happy together," Narcissa smiled. "And yes, of course Lucius will help. This is the man and child you love not to mention Draco's god son to be," Narcissa said firmly.
"Plus mum will glare at him until he sees sense if he tries arguing," Draco snorted.
"That as well," Narcissa gave a tinkling laugh but her eyes were glittering mischievously. Suddenly Harry had the feeling that Sirius wasn't the only mischief maker in the Black family.
"When are you planning the blessing for?" Draco asked curiously.
"I want to wait until Remus and Sirius know and have had a chance to make a decision," Harry sighed.
"Sirius absolutely adored you from the moment Lily found out she was pregnant and they asked him to be your godfather. I seriously doubt that he will be anything but worried about how your both doing and that you had to do this by yourselves," Narcissa said gently.
"Its more the fact that I am going to be turning my back on the light side and in all realism going to the dark side," Harry admitted.
"That is true, but I truly believe that Sirius loves you enough to sit down and listen to your reasons, and if he keeps his head he will see that you are doing the right thing for you and Orion. I'm afraid I cannot speak of Lupin," Narcissa smiled softly.
"Thank you," Harry smiled back.
"What about the Weasleys?" Draco asked before holding up his hands at the looks he got. "Not having a go I swear, I'm genuinely curious!" He said quickly.
"I don't think Fred and George are really on anyone's side so long as they people they care about are safe. I think I count so they will just be impressed that I pulled the wool over Dumbledore and all the teachers eyes for so long. I was quite supportive of Bill and Fleur, Mrs Weasley doesn't really like Fleur, so I think I'll have their support, me and Fleur have kept in contact since the tournament anyway. Charlie is an unknown really but he tends to be a mixture of Bill and the twins. But Mrs Weasley, Mr Weasley, Ginny and Ron I seriously doubt are going to be happy with me, they are too far up Dumbledore's arse to see any other point," Harry shrugged.
"You don't seem very upset about Ronald," Gabriella said hesitantly but Harry just smiled at her.
"After the way he acted when my name came out of the Goblet our relationship hasn't really been the same. He thinks that after apologising everything is just fine and forgotten, but I haven't really forgotten the way he acted when I needed my friends there the most," Harry admitted. "Ron is unfortunately too wrapped up in his own insecurities and so busy comparing himself with his brothers that he doesn't see what he does actually have in front of him. He actually believed that me and Hermione were together," Harry rolled his eyes before grinning when Blaise let out a deep, rumbling chuckle that got another excited squeal from Orion.
"I…well…you are very close," Draco said quietly causing Blaise to snort.
"One, they are more like siblings than anything else. And two unless you have noticed Orion has two dads," Blaise shook his head as Harry laughed.
"Was just asking. Mind I always thought that Weasley and Granger would end up together anyway," Draco shrugged only to blink when Harry started laughing. "What?" Even Blaise was looking at Harry confused.
"Hermione would never end up with Ron. She would probably kill him within a few days, and he's so oblivious it would be about ten years before he got round to managing to ask her out. Anyway I don't think Theo would be very happy if they got together," Harry grinned.
"Theo? What's Theo got to do with it?" Blaise asked confused.
"He fancies Hermione of course," Harry said simply and watched as they all sat blinking at him.
"Theo has a crush on Hermione? How do you know?" Blaise asked sounding completely lost.
"Because he calls her every day on the floo to make sure that she is ok and still safe and they end up talking for ages, he sent her some flowers the other day because 'he spotted them while in Diagon alley and remembered she had mentioned they were her favourites', when he calls here and gets me he talks more about her than anything else, asking questions about her. He likes her," Harry shrugged summoning Orion's stag and holding it to him when he started fussing slightly.
"I…how the hell did I miss that?" Blaise choked out shaking his head.
"You were a little distracted dear, if you weren't busy fussing over Orion and Harry you were busy making moon eyes at Harry or sitting under a storm cloud brooding," Gabriella smirked.
"Mother!" Blaise snapped flushing slightly but huffed and rolled his eyes when a chuckling Harry leant more comfortably against his chest again.
"Does Hermione like Theo back?" Blaise asked.
"I think so, she refuses to say it outright saying they have only known each other a little while, but I just point out that she is urging me to be with you and we have known each other the same amount of time," Harry smiled.
"She's been urging you to be with me?" Blaise grinned as Harry turned bright red.
"Erm, she's been telling me that we both like each other and one of us should confess," Harry nodded fussing with Orion's blanket to avoid looking at anyone. When Blaise pressed a kiss to his temple he looked up to meet his eyes.
"She is smart," Blaise smiled softly.
"Too smart," Harry snorted.
"Well, we shall have to organise our meal and Ms Granger's breakout for some time next week," Narcissa smiled clapping her hands happily. Orion let out a yawn making Harry glance to the clock.
"Sorry I'm going to have to go and put him down for his nap," He said apologetically.
"We should be going as well, we had better get back and tell Lucius everything before Miss Parksinson decides to spin some tales. Really what was Lucius thinking, considering bringing that…pug into the family. Imagine the children!" Narcissa mumbled.
"No thanks," Harry and Draco both winced at the same time. Harry grinned at Draco who looked startled before snorting.
"My children have a standard to live up to now, and it's a high one, Pansy is definetly off the books once father meets Orion," Draco smirked walking over, to Harry's shock he bent and placed a kiss on Orion's forehead with tender care before also pressing a kiss to Harry's cheek. "Thank you Po…Harry, truly. I will watch over him," he said softly, his blue eyes showing more emotion than Harry had ever expected to see aimed at himself.
"I know you will," He smiled warmly back.
"We will see you all soon, I'll send an owl with the date," Narcissa bent to kiss Orion before kissing Blaise and then Harry. "Look after yourselves," she smiled at Harry and Orion before spinning. "Come Draco lets go give your father a heart attack, I can not wait to tell him this one," Narcissa giggled happily leading the way out of the room.
"Thank you Harry," Blaise's soft words had him turning to his mate and shaking his head.
"I'm just following tradition," he argued.
"Harry with your pasts it would have been completely understandable if you had requested Theo or someone else if you wanted one of Blaise's friends to be godfather to follow tradition. Instead you chose who you knew Blaise would really want," Gabriella said warmly.
"So thank you," Blaise nodded brushing a kiss to Harry's lips lingeringly. As he pulled back breathless and grinning Harry kissed Blaise again before standing carefully with Orion.
"Its alright, I'm leaving it to you to tell Hermione she's going to be godparent with Draco," Harry laughed before leaving the room. Blaise stared after him open mouthed as Gabriella burst out laughing.
