Chapter 5

It was two weeks till Christmas holidays and for the tenth day in a row Draco had woke up and
made a beeline for the bathroom only to lose everything he had eaten for dinner the night before. He
was beginning to seriously worry that something dreadful was wrong with him. The nausea always
went away by mid-afternoon though, so he had not gone to see Madam Pomfrey as yet. He was
startled when he felt a hand start rubbing soothing circles on his back.

“How long has this been going on Draco? Why didn’t you tell me you were getting sick?” Harry
asked when Draco finally stopped retching.

“I’m sorry love, I just didn’t want to worry you. I was going to go see Madam Pomfrey if it didn’t
go away soon. I usually feel better by mid-afternoon though. It’s just first thing in the morning I
feel really sick to my stomach and the smell of food only makes it worse.” Draco said, leaning his
head back against Harry’s shoulder. Harry gave one final rub to the small of Draco’s back before
getting up to get a wet washcloth to bathe Draco’s face. He never said a word while he helped his
soulmate up from the floor and back to his bed. Once he got Draco settled back in he left the room
to go make a fire call. When he returned a moment later it appeared that Draco was asleep. He
quietly sat on the edge of the bed and let his thoughts go back over the last couple of months.

Draco had been made head boy this year while Hermione was head girl. Draco had been given his
own room as head boy and Harry had been allowed to share it with him though each had their own
bedroom and merely shared a common room. Most nights though they shared a bed, but for the last
few days Draco had not wanted Harry in his room.

They had never found a way around the Voldemort problem short of Harry killing the bastard, so he
was still out there. Amazingly though he had not gotten the Parkinson’s to pull Pansy from the
school. They were unsure if this was because Voldemort had never seen the loophole in the contract
or if there was another reason she was allowed to stay. She had turned 17 just a few days into term
so that may have made a difference, since by wizarding terms she would have been considered an
adult.

Another interesting thing that had happened was that Pansy had started to date Hermione. Somehow
while they were staying in Grimmauld Place they had fallen into love with each other and were
actually planning to marry after the war if both managed to survive. Harry shook his head at that
thought. Those were two people he never would have imagined together, but he supposed it was
similar to his and Draco’s situation. They too had fought constantly for the previous 5-6 years and
somehow they crossed the line from hate to love.

Harry was startled from his thoughts when a hand brushed a lock of hair from his face. He looked
over to see Draco staring at him in concern.

“Where did you go, love? When you left the room, I mean?”

“Oh, I just went to firecall Madam Pomfrey to have her come check on you. She should be here any
moment. I want her to give you a thorough check up. I’m not sure but with the symptoms you
described...” Harry trailed off at hearing the floo open in the other room. “We’ll find out for sure
what’s going on. Everything will be okay. I’ll be right back.” A moment later he walked back in
with Madam Pomfrey as well as Hermione and Pansy following him. The three students stood by
the door quietly talking while the medi-witch ran her scans. When she was finished she had a smile
on her face and waved the other three over.

“Well, I know what is causing Mr. Malfoy’s sickness in the morning’s. I’m afraid I am going to
have to put him on a very strict diet as well as insisting that he have no alcohol for the next seven
months. He should only be sick in the mornings for another couple of weeks, but the problem will
not be solved until near graduation.” the witch said while trying to keep a stern look on her face.
Hermione who had listened closely to the nurse had a hand over her mouth trying not to shout in joy.
Harry and Draco were still looking rather confused while Pansy merely stood there with a smirk on
her face.

“Madam Pomfrey, why exactly am I getting sick in the mornings, and why does it always go away
by mid-afternoon?” Harry listened to Draco’s question before understanding dawned in his eyes.

“Um, love. You know how you have been worrying lately about the marriage contract?” Draco
nodded at Harry trying to figure out where he was going with this. “I don’t think we have to worry
anymore. I think what Madam Pomfrey is trying to tell us is that your pregnant.” Harry said smiling
softly at Draco with pure love shining from his eyes.

“Your correct Harry, Draco is pregnant. Now that also means no more quidditch. It is far to
dangerous. You could easily fall of your broom or get badly hurt by a bludger.” Draco barely
acknowledged the witch’s instructions, he was still in shock. He was going to have a baby. Not just
any baby but one that he and Harry had made, without the use of potions.

‘I guess we really are soulmates then.’ he thought as he finally rejoined the conversation around
him. He gave Harry a huge smile before turning his attention back to the medi-witch that was once
again giving him instructions to follow.

“For now, I want to see you every other week for a check up. Right now you and the baby are in
perfect health, but this type of male pregnancy is rare so I just want to be sure that everything goes
right. I will see you all later, but I need to get back to the infirmary. Take care Draco, Hermione.”
With that the medi-witch left the room to floo back to the hospital wing. Draco looked over to see
Hermione and Pansy still in the room, both women giving him and Harry soft smiles.

“Um, not to be rude, but why are the two of you here? Did Harry firecall you too and just not tell
me?” Draco asked the two witches. They looked at each other and blushed slightly before
Hermione turned back to answer Draco.

“Actually, we were in the hospital wing when Harry called. I was just having a check up with
Madam Pomfrey and then we were going to come down here to talk to you two, so we just came in
with her.”

“Why were you having a check up, ‘Mione? You’ve not been sick have you?” Harry asked in
concern.

“In a sense, yes, she has been sick. She has the same problem Draco does it seems. It also appears
that they are due around the same time.” Pansy answered smugly. Harry was shocked. Hermione
pregnant?

“But how? I mean, I didn’t think you slept with any boys, Hermione? I thought it was just Pansy?”
Hermione gave a slight laugh before answering Harry’s shocked question.

“It seems that I have just enough empathic abilities to allow myself to become pregnant, no matter
who my partner is. The baby I am carrying is Pansy’s.” Hermione had moved to stand next to
Pansy while she spoke and Pansy wrapped her in her arms gently pulling her back against her body.

“I guess we really don’t have to worry about the contract now, do we? We are both free to do as we
wish, and marry who we want.” Draco said in awe. He couldn’t believe it. He was finally free of
that stupid contract.

“Speaking of marrying who we want, that was what Pansy and I came down to talk to you about.
Since I am expecting now, Pansy and I had discussed going ahead and getting married. I was
wondering since you are also expecting, did you want to make it a double wedding?” Hermione
asked looking hopefully between Harry and Draco. Harry and Draco looked at each other, seeming
to speak without saying anything. They turned back to the two women in front of them.

“We think that is a wonderful idea. Give us a little time to get ready and then we can all go talk to
Professor Dumbledore about maybe having it here at Hogwarts.” Harry said standing from the bed
and then helping Draco to stand as well. The two witches nodded and left the room.

As soon as they were gone, Draco pulled Harry into a kiss that was as filled with passion as their
first kiss had been. The last thought to go thru his mind as he followed his soulmate to the bathroom
was ‘I’m really going to be a father.’
