“Ron, can I talk to you in private for a bit?” Harry asked, setting his half-finished essay inside his book to keep his place and closing it.

Ron and Hermione shared a look, and Hermione just smiled and nodded once.

Ron smiled. “Sure. Come on, let’s go up to the dormitory, I think it’s free right now.” He said, and the two walked up there, Harry sitting on his bed.

Ron sat at the foot of the bed, facing him. “So, what’s up?” He asked.

Harry bit his lip and looked down at his lap. “I know you’ve been spending most nights with Hermione in the Head Girl’s room, and I’m pretty sure I know what that means.” He said hesitantly.

Ron flushed. “Yes.” He answered before Harry had a chance to ask anything.

Harry grinned. “First, what’s it like?” He asked. “No details, just… I’m curious.”

“Well, it’s…” Ron turned bright red. “When you love the person, it’s great.” He said. “There’s no way you can be closer, and of course it feels good, so that adds to it, and it’s pretty much the greatest thing ever!” He told Harry, then smiled a bit sheepishly. “But I know you’ve never… And I didn’t want you to feel embarrassed, or like you were missing out on something, because sex isn’t all that life’s about, it’s just a small part of things that I happen to have found before you, that’s all. We all find the right person for us at different times.” He finished.

Harry smiled. “That’s part of what I wanted to ask you about. A lot of people our age seem to be having sex already, and Lucius and I talked about it, and we want…” He blushed a bright red, but forged on, “We want to soul-bond.” He admitted.

Ron’s mouth fell open. “Bloody hell, Harry. Are you sure?” He asked in a whisper. “Is he sure?” He asked, slightly louder. “That’s not the kind of thing you rush into, and it’s not something to be taken lightly, either. That’s a huge commitment, and it can’t be undone if you change your mind later. If there’s even the slightest chance that you might feel differently about him later on… Those bonds don’t make you love each other, the feeling already has to be there first. You can’t play with magic like that, and you can’t fool it, either.” Ron warned.

Harry smiled. “I know, Ron. We’re sure. I just wondered… If we do the purity spell in front of everyone…” He flushed. “What kind of reactions will it get? I mean, I’ll be broadcasting that I’m still a virgin, when so many of the people my age aren’t. I’m worried that it’ll get me teased, or laughed at.” He finished.

Ron rolled his eyes. “No, Harry! Merlin, no! Mum’ll be over-the-moon to see proof that you waited, she’ll be bursting with pride in you! And if anyone teases you, you can always make them leave the wedding right there and then, because it’s the height of bad manners. Of course, that might not stop the twins…” He muttered with a shrug. “But nothing stops them.”

Harry chuckled. “I won’t get mad if they tease me a little, I understand that that’s their way.” He allowed.

“It’s your choice whether you let everyone know or not, but it’s something to be proud of, not ashamed. And no one that knows you will be surprised, but if you do it publically, the Prophet will find out, whether you let a reporter attend or not, and it could convince a lot of kids and young teens who idolize you to wait until marriage themselves, which parents would appreciate. What better way to use your fame than to make tons of parents happy, right? And besides, if you waited, you might be able to convince your children to wait, and I’m sure that would only be a bonus.” Ron added pragmatically.

Harry laughed. “Ever the strategist, but I agree, it’s a good plan.” He took a deep breath. “Then that’s settled.” He said. “We’ll be incorporating the purity spell into the wedding itself.” He clapped Ron on the shoulder with a bright smile. “Thanks, Ron. This means a lot, and you’ve helped me make an important decision.”

Ron chuckled. “Happy to help.” He said. “Are we heading back down to the common room?” He asked.

Harry nodded. “Yeah, that was all I wanted.” He confirmed. “Let’s get back down there so I can finish my Defence essay.” He grinned. “Lucius said he had big plans for our wedding night, but he won’t go through with them unless I keep up the great work I’ve been doing in his class.”

Ron made a face. “TMI, Harry.”

Harry looked over at him in surprise. “You know what that means?” He asked.

Ron grinned. “Hermione told me.” He revealed.

Harry snorted and led the way back down the stairs.

*****

Severus kissed the back of Draco’s neck as they both panted, recovering from their bout of lovemaking. He ran his hands from the teen’s chest down over his stomach, resting them there as he scented the blond. “Your smell is almost being drowned out by the powder you’re using.” He murmured into the blond’s ear. “I don’t like it.” He added.

Draco sighed. “I’m sorry. I could move back into the Head Boy’s room until it gets warmer outside, if it bothers you that much.” He offered softly. “But you know I don’t like to be cold.”

Severus sighed. “I’m hardly going to kick you out.” He rubbed at Draco’s stomach again. “Are you putting on weight?” He asked suspiciously. One of the things he’d always envied about Draco and Lucius had been their ability to eat whatever they wanted and never gain an ounce, unless it was muscle.

Draco tensed. “Maybe a little bit.” He mumbled. “Does it really matter?”

Severus chuckled. “I thought Malfoys didn’t gain weight unless they wanted to?” He asked teasingly.

Draco flushed so bright even his ears turned red. “Well, I’ve been careless with what I’ve been eating lately. So sue me!” He huffed. “You said when you married me that nothing would make you love me less, so why are so critical now?” He asked.

“I’m not trying to be, Draco, it’s just… You’re going through some very strange changes that are starting to alarm me, and they all seem connected to that illness you got while the Fae Queen was here. Are you quite certain that you’ve recovered?” Severus asked.

Draco turned around to face Severus. “I’m fine, Severus. I’m just going through some things right now, but I know what I’m doing, and I’m not hurting anyone. This is just something I need to deal with on my own.” He said.

Severus frowned. “What is? Draco, we promised there’d be no secrets between us.” He reminded the blond.

Draco bit his lip. “I can’t…” He took a deep breath and let it out, dropping his eyes to Severus’ chest. “You’ll be angry with me.” He muttered.

Severus tilted his face up with a finger under his chin and made the blond meet his eyes. “I’ll be more angry if I have to find out from a book, Draco, and I know you haven’t been using any powder. It’s a change in your scent. And now you’re putting on weight. Signs are becoming apparent, and I’ve already begun looking for answers. I will find out, Draco, you know this.” He told the blond.

Draco sighed. “Promise me you won’t keep me from the battle, when the time comes?” He asked.

Severus’ lips thinned. “Why would I keep you from battle? Draco, what aren’t you telling me?!” He asked.

Draco gulped, dropping his eyes to Severus’ lips and answering in a whisper, “I’m pregnant.”

The silence was absolute, and so thick it clogged Draco’s throat.

Severus shook his head, then whispered, “How? I brewed each batch of Contraceptus myself, they were perfect. There’s no way.” He said, almost to himself.

Draco’s eyes filled with tears. “I ate something Elven that was similar in properties to grapes. I didn’t know, and then… I found out, and I couldn’t tell you. I knew you’d be angry, you wanted to wait, and I’ve ruined it all!” He said, tears streaming from his eyes. “I’ve gone and fucked everything up.”

Severus sighed, wrapping his arms around Draco. “No, Draco, it’s a simple mistake, anyone could have made it. Now we know. Do you know which fruit it was? So that we can make sure Potter steers clear of it while he’s on the potion?”

Draco nodded. “Rubika.” He answered. “Are you going to keep me from the battle?” He asked.

“I want to.” Severus said. “But I know how hard you’ve trained for this, and how badly we need you there. How confident are you that Potter can keep you safe?” He asked.

Draco sniffed. “I trust him with my life, and I’m pretty sure I can trust him with our child’s. I can’t stay back and not fight, it would drive me mad, Severus, you know that! And he needs all the backup he can get!”

Severus nodded. “I know. I won’t keep you from the fight, but you are going to make sure both Potter and your father are aware of your pregnancy so that they know to watch you extra closely during the battle.” He said.

Draco smiled and pressed a kiss to Severus’ lips in gratitude. “I’ll tell them.” He promised.

Severus huffed. “See that you do. We’ll need to set up an appointment with Poppy to check on the baby’s growth. I need to know that everything is going well. This child may not be planned, but it will be loved.” He said firmly.

Draco nodded. “I knew you’d feel that way in the end, I just… Intended for you to know a bit later, is all. I shouldn’t have kept it from you at all, I suppose. I won’t do anything like this again.” He told the man.

Severus chuckled softly, then pressed a kiss to Draco’s forehead. “See that you don’t. Get to sleep, my brat. You need it.”

Draco turned over, dragging Severus’ arm over him and holding it tightly against him.

Severus shifted his arm until his hand rested over Draco’s abdomen, tracing over the barely-discernible bump where his Heir or Heiress was being held, safe and warm.

And yet, at the same time, so very vulnerable.

Sleep came slowly for him that night.

*****

Draco dropped into the seat next to Harry, grabbing a plate and taking a few pieces of toast and some fruit as well as two pieces of bacon. He turned to Harry. “So Severus knows.” He said without preamble.

Harry gaped at him. “How?! He found out?!”

Draco sighed and cast a muffliato, enclosing Harry, Ginny, Neville, Ron and Hermione in it. “Just so you all know, I’m pregnant. And yes, Red, that was my big secret.” He added to Ginny, who nodded back at him. “Harry’s known for a while, but don’t let Severus know that.” He added to the rest. “But, yes, he found out last night. He told me to make sure you and Father know, and since I’m pretty sure I can trust the rest of you, I’m including you guys in that circle, but it goes no further, understand? I’ll tell Blaise and Pansy soon, but it might not be until I start showing, which could be after the battle, so wait until I tell you I’ve told them if you want to discuss it with them, thought I don’t see why you would want to.” He finished, eating a piece of his bacon as he let the news sink in.

Ron frowned. “I thought with you being married to… Well, the resident Potions Master, you’d be on the Potion.” He said.

Draco grimaced. “I was. I ate an Elven fruit that was enough like grapes that it deactivated the potion and I didn’t know. So now, I’m in this mess. And it’s going to set back my Apprenticeship by several months, if not a year.” He finished glumly.

“That sucks.” Ron said unhelpfully.

“Yes.” Draco agreed. “It really does.” He ended the muffliato and smiled. “But that’s enough about my minor melodrama, what’s going on with the rest of you?” He asked.

Ginny smiled and held her hand out to him.

Draco took it, looking over the ring in interest. “A Pureblood promise ring? Oh, Longbottom’s!” He exclaimed, noticing the crest. “Good on you, making an honest woman of her!” He raised his head and shared a smile with Neville. Draco turned to Hermione. “So, Granger, are you and Weasley affianced yet?” He asked in curiosity. “Everyone else seems to be tying the knot around here. Or, at least, making plans to.”

Hermione and Ron both flushed.

“She won’t let me.” Ron muttered.

Hermione glared at him. “You know I want to focus on my career first, Ron! There will be time for marriage once I am securely in the door at the Ministry! I could do so much good there!” She said to both Ron and Draco.

Draco smiled. “Yes, but you don’t have to put the rest of your life on hold until you’re satisfied with where you’re working, you know. You can plan a wedding for years if you really want, there’s nothing stopping you from becoming engaged, at the very least.”

Ron nodded. “That’s what I’ve been telling her, but she says-“

“Lots of Muggle women wait until their career is solid before they marry, and they do just fine!” Hermione insisted.

Harry just sighed. “And breakfast was going to be so peaceful today.” He mourned softly, Neville and Ginny grinning as they watched Harry surrounded by a blond on one side arguing for marriage, and bushy-haired Muggleborn on the other side insisting that her career was more important.

Ron met his eyes and shrugged, mouthing ‘sorry’ at him.

Harry just ate his breakfast and let the argument unfold as it would.

*****

“Father, can I speak to you for a moment?” Draco asked as the rest of the class packed up and headed out.

Lucius smiled. “I believe I already know what you want to speak about. Severus had quite a lot to say over breakfast today.”

Draco flushed as the room cleared. “So you know that I’m…”

“In the family way?” Lucius supplied. “Yes. He was quite bewildered at first, but I think you’ll find I’ve helped to bring him around, and he’s warming to the idea nicely.”

“What did you say to him?” Draco asked.

Lucius chuckled. “That you were the single greatest accomplishment of my life thus far, and I couldn’t wait to add to my family now that it’s had an infusion of fresh blood. I doubt Harry will have the problems your mother had, especially as we are a more compatible species.” He said lightly.

Draco bit his lip. “You’re not angry with me? For getting this way before I’m out of school, and for doing it when we have a war to fight?” He asked.

Lucius shook his head. “From what Severus has said, I am under the impression that you were both attempting to wait, and this was an accident. Am I right?” He checked.

Draco nodded. “Yes, it was. I’m happy about it, but it is a bit sooner than I’d like. It’s going to mess up my plans for an Apprenticeship.” He said.

“But it will be worth it, Draco, trust me.” Lucius assured his son. “And, I assume once this child is born, Harry and I might be well enough out of the honeymoon phase to watch him or her for you once in a while.” He offered.

Draco grinned. “I doubt that. Severus and I are still quite firmly in the honeymoon phase, and we’re not showing any signs of it wearing off yet.” He told his father.

Lucius sighed. “Did it ever occur to you that perhaps that is news I could happily go my whole life without hearing?” He asked, rubbing a hand over his face.

“I’m just being honest. You always said it was best to be honest with people whenever possible.” Draco reminded him.

“Perhaps not quite so honest with me, can we agree on that?” Lucius asked.

Draco nodded. “Done.”

“Now, where are you supposed to be?” Lucius asked.

Draco made a face. “Charms. How about I just skip it today?” He suggested.

Lucius chuckled. “No, I’m writing you a pass and you are going to attend. You can’t afford to miss anything, you have a baby to plan for now. Your grades are still as important, if not more.”

Draco sighed. “Yes, Father.”
