The rescue
Severus slumped on the couch and stared at Potter who was sitting just across him. Draco was leaning against a wall. He was trying to stop the tremors his body was going through. An hour had elapsed since they had arrived in the Prince Manor. Severus had called Madame Pomphrey. Apparently, male pregnancy required a surrogate mother after a month and their case just had to be different. Apparently, their was no woman who would be capable of carrying their child in her womb. They were too strong magically and so was their unborn child so either Potter or he would have to carry the child.
Madame Pomphrey had left after providing some medicines for Potter. Severus's decision to leave them and return to the headquarters had gone down the drain because he was too worried to leave.
"THIS IS YOUR FAULT MALFOY." Potter shouted and Draco stared at the boy, shocked and confused. He was about to shout as well but Severus shook his head and indicated towards Potter's belly so Draco shut his mouth. He knew that Potter was already very short tempered and he needed to calm him down instead of provoking him.
"How?" He muttered and looked into his green eyes. For a moment, Potter was taken aback by his softly muttered question and that moment passed and Potter glared at him. " You couldn't have run away from that bloody marking. You needed me to come and save the day."
"I was not the one who called you Potter. That begs the question. Why did you arrive at the manor at all?" Draco asked and Potter glared at him again "I don't know and I do not want to carry this child."
Severus was apparently lost for words because the man opened his mouth and then closed it again. But Draco whispered "You want to abort our child?"
"I swear Malfoy that I will hurt you if you talk about aborting my baby again. This is the second time I am telling you again that I want the child as much as you do." Potter was, thankfully, not shouting now. He was looking warningly at Draco and Draco felt his mouth become dry because Potter had a certain aura that compelled him to listen and abide by the whatever the boy said.
Yes he had fucked Potter but now he wondered if Potter was a bottom at all.
He looked at the green eyed boy and thought about the words he was about to say. He did not want to offend him but he had to know so he spoke as softly as he could "I don't understand."
"With the war going on Malfoy, how do you expect me to carry a child? It is possible that I am sent on a mission to kill Voldemort. Do you expect me duel him with a baby inside me? Nine months is a long time and it is possible that I have to battle with him during it." Draco was surprised to hear Potter speak reasonably.
He was about to agree but Severus beat him to it "He is right Draco. It is possible that Albus tries to manipulate him as well. It was good that I took Poppy under an oath. She won't reveal anything to anyone. I think you should keep it hidden and Harry must not carry the baby."
Draco simply stared at Severus as if the man had grown a second head.

Harry was stunned as well. He did not want to give his child to Malfoy at all. Given a chance, the git would not let Harry have any part in his baby's life. He wanted to ask what the man was thinking but Malfoy beat him to it.
"What are you exactly trying to say, Severus? The blonde git asked, his eyes shocked.
Dad muttered calmly "You will have to carry this child Draco. He has to fulfil his destiny and the dark Lord would hurt this baby."
"Absolutely not." They spoke in unison and glared at each other.
Harry spoke before Malfoy could utter a word "He will take my baby away. I won't let that happen"
"Our baby, Potter. He is my child as well and I am not taking the baby away from you at all. But I do not want to carry it. I am not - not a woman for gods sake."
"Oh! And I am, eh? You are such a bloody bastard Malfoy." Potter snarled at him and Malfoy breathed hard to stop himself from snapping at the Harry, perhaps because dad's eyes were asking him to shut up.
Malfoy chose to stare at dad instead of engaging in another verbal battle with Harry.
The man was sitting with legs spread and his elbows on his knees, his hands folded under his chin, looking utterly annoyed.
"Look here. Harry you can not carry the child and fight at the same time and Draco you will have to carry if you want the child to live. No one else is capable of carrying the child. Poppy said that she does not know any woman whose magical strength equals yours. No one is snatching the baby from anyone. You do not have to live with each other to take care of the child, though you must atleast live in the same house till it turns five." He spoke and sighed.
Malfoy looked horrified at the prospect of carrying their baby and Harry was so frustrated. He spoke before he could stop himself "It is so bloody unfair. Why should I share my baby with him?"
His cheeks tinged pink when he realized what he had uttered and he stormed towards the stairs.
"You have two days to decide. I will return after a couple of days. Sooner, the baby is transferred to Draco, the better. You need to return to Hogwarts before everybody is alarmed by your absence." Dad spoke and Harry did not even bother to reply. He heard dad ask Malfoy to take care of him and bloody laughed internally. Malfoy would probably mix poison in his food and kill him.
He also heard that a couple of house elves will be arriving today itself to care of their supplies, one whom will be a Malfoy elf and other will be a Potter elf.
He huffed and slammed open the door to the nearest room, claiming it as his.
Stupid Malfoy. Stupid Voldemort.
XXXX
Draco sighed and looked at Severus "Do we really have even two days to decide?".
Severus licked his lips and spoke "Male pregnancies are complicated Draco. Sooner the better. It's better if we transfer the child tomorrow morning but if your child feels that you do not want it, it might-"
Draco shut his ears and muttered "Honestly! Severus. I want the baby. I was just a bit uncomfortable with the idea. But it's fine. You can come tomorrow. I will speak to Potter."
Severus sighed in relief and Draco saw him off to the floo. After that he sighed and walked towards the kitchen to prepare something for Potter. He huffed in irritation when he looked at the condition of the kitchen. With a flick of his wand the kitchen was completely clean and the first thing he did was pour some water in the jug. He wondered what Potter liked. He did not have anything to make something fancy. He did hope that Severus had got something stored in the fridge though.
He opened the fridge and sighed when he found it completely empty. He looked around the kitchen and noticed some wardrobes. Thankfully, one of them had some biscuits, sugar, powdered milk, tea and he made some tea and took some biscuits.
Arranging things was easier though. The difficult part would be convincing Potter to eat. He would create a lot of fuss. Well, there was nothing he could do other then trying to convince him.
He knocked on Potter's door and called "Open the door, Potter. I have brought something to eat."
"Fuck off." The answer came and Draco rolled his eyes before muttering "Merlin only knows since when you have not eaten anything. You need to eat. Open up. Come on."
"Go away Malfoy." Potter answered and Draco sighed "All right. I am coming in then.
That's what Draco did. He opened the door with a flick of his finger and walked inside. Potter was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling. His face was an open book. He looked irritated and sad and did not even turn to acknowledge his presence, not that Draco had expected him to.
Potter did not say anything when Draco sat down next to him, the tray of water and food in front of him.
"Get up and eat something, Potter." He muttered, his eyes on Potter's face. He did not get any reply so he tried again "You have not even had water for the past many hours."
"I do not want your pity." Potter murmured and Draco snapped at him "I will never pity you. You are too strong. You need no one's pity."
Silence that ensued after that made Draco impatient and he tried again, his tone softer this time "Potter, please eat something." This time Potter looked at him and his eyes said it all. They told him that Potter was very disturbed by everything that had happened that day.
"I am sorry." Draco said and Potter understood the reason of his apology. Instead of questioning Draco, he just sat up and Draco poured water in a glass for him, mumbling "Drink some water first."
Potter gulped the whole glass at once and Draco poured some more water in it. The boy's thirst was satisfied only after the third glass and after that Draco poured some tea for both of them and muttered "Help yourself to some biscuits please. The kitchen was empty and as soon as the elves are here, I will ask them to prepare a proper meal for us."
Potter nodded and they started eating. It was surprising that they could tolerate each other's presence for even a minute. Testing the waters, he muttered "We need to talk Potter."
XXXX
Harry just nodded, choosing to stay silent. He wanted Malfoy to leave him alone.
"Severus says that we should transfer the child inside me tomorrow itself. He says that the child must not be allowed to adapt to your body." Malfoy muttered cautiously as if Harry would explode at him. When Harry stayed silent, Malfoy continued "I will never keep you away from the child Potter. I will not hurt the child either. You can trust me on this. I want this child as much as you want. Our child will have two fathers."
"That is all well and good Malfoy but what should I do about the fact that we can not tolerate each other's presence at all, that neither you nor I have enough patience to deal with each other. I do not like you Malfoy and I do not like your father." Harry spoke bluntly and as expected, Malfoy's eyes flashed "Do not talk about my father like that."
"I will talk howsoever I want to. Lucius is and will always be a bastard for me. I hate him and I do not want his influence on my child at all. I will not have him teach our baby all that bullshit about purebloods, halfbloods and mudbloods." He snapped at Malfoy and now Malfoy was breathing hard, trying to control his temper "Look here Potter, leave my father out of our discussion."
"What did you want to talk about. Just spit it out and leave me alone." Harry snapped impatiently, wanting to be alone and it was shocking to see that Malfoy reigned his anger before speaking "We must perform the operation tomorrow."
Harry nodded and spoke "All right but I am telling you once again that I will not have your father have any influence on my child at all."
Malfoy was about to shout at him but then the boy shut his mouth and nodded "I will be in the next room if you need me."
"I am not a child. Sleep wherever you want. I am not sleeping here for the first time. Dad has brought me here before." He snarled and Malfoy snarled right back at him "All right Potter. I am going. Suit yourself and keep on brooding."
"You would brood too if you were forced to-" Harry started, his eyes angry and Malfoy froze mid stride and turned around to look at him "I will destroy them, each and everyone who witnessed it."
"Oh! You will need your daddy - " Harry mocked Malfoy and Malfoy growled "I don't need anyone for that. I will destroy them myself. They won't get a chance to tell anyone and their were not too many. Bellatrix, Greyback. Lestrange, MacNair, that's it. I will throw them at your feet and you can kill them or throw them in Azkaban, whatever you wish. I promise this to you."
Harry could just stare at Malfoy as the boy, his eyes flashing with fury as he stalked out of his room, slamming the door none too gently.
"Wake up on time tomorrow, you PONCY GIT." He shouted petulantly and Malfoy snarled at him "Mind your own business, you prat."

"Severus." Albus whispered gravely and Severus slumped on the chair. He knew what was coming next and he knew that Albus was right.
"Severus, you know the influence Lucius holds on Draco. They are living together now for some days and are bound to develop a healthy friendship. We can not let Lucius have an influence on Harry as well and now you can not enter the Malfoy Manor. It contains artifacts that I do not think Tom must have access to. We need to devise a way to lure Tom out of there." The aged wizard spoke and Severus nodded.
"There is only one way to ensure both." He spoke and looked into Severus's eyes.
"It could backfire." Severus argued and Albus smiled "It won't."
"How can you be sure? They fight like cats and dogs. " Severus asked, suddenly tired.
"I know them." Albus whispered and smiled at him. Severus knew that the discussion was over and nodded before muttering "I will take them tomorrow and I will keep you informed."
"Stay within their reach so that if anything goes wrong- there is no one else I trust with their safety more than you Severus." Albus spoke softly and Severus couldn't prevent the warmth that his words brought in his heart. He nodded, his eyes on the door and spoke "I will. Thank you. Have a nice day, Albus."
"Hmmm." Albus spoke, his mind elsewhere. "Severus. One moment."
Severus stopped and turned around to find the man looking at him with warm and kind eyes "23rd February is a good day for it."
"What?" Severus asked, his eyebrows raised in confusion but Albus just smiled and went back to reading the thick volume on transfiguration in front of him.
After a huff of annoyance, Severus left the wizard and retreated to his quarters.
This man and his riddles.
