Chapter seven

Harry rolled his eyes as he watched Lucius parading backwards and forwards in front of the fireplace before turning back to the letters in his hand. The three of them were easily identifiable by sender. Hermione's was no nonesense simple parchment, the basics that you bought. Neville's was highest quality letter writing parchment that his grabdmother bought and stocked up on, the wax seal holding the Longbottom coat of arms. Luna's was on slightly multi coloured parchment, her loopy flowing writing easily familiar.

Opening Hermione letter first he smirked at the simple message he had received back, no questions, no second guessing, no nagging just 'on it'. The curse section of the Black library was going to be getting its worth bashed out of it by the Gryffindor.

Tucking that one away into his book he opened Neville's letter next smiling at the message his friend had given him.

Dear Harry,

Nothing happened my arse! I knew something had happened in that room! Trust you to find the one of the few rooms that people have heard of, and the Room of Desire as well. Bloody hell Harry. And getting pregnant on your first time! Merlin do you have some whacky luck or what! Though Lucius Malfoy, score, that luck managed to get you locked in with the guy you have liked for years.

He's treating you alright though? And you're with his brother? Marcus Malfoy hasn't been seen in Britain in years! What's he like? Is he alright with you and Lucius? Have you met the rest of the Malfoy family?

Lucius and Narcissa's divorce has just hit the news here, everyone is really shocked that they are splitting up, everyone reckoned that when they didn't divorce after the first few years after Draco's birth they weren't going to do it. Also Lucius's solicitor had her served in the middle of the street, she completely freaked out! It is all over the papers! The pictures are brilliant, she completely freaks out right in the middle of the street, screaming, shouting, throwing her bags around, trying to hit the solicitor's aid, shouting at people watching. The papers are saying that Lucius is amazing for having stayed with her so long, that she is clearly unhinged, they are even praising Lucius for putting up with her for as long as he has.

Send me a letter back letting me know that you are ok and that the baby is ok, good luck with your check up. I hope things are going well with you. Thank you for asking about things here. Gran is being overbearing as normal, but after my OWL results for herbology and Porfessor Sprout's recemondation she has outfitted the greenhouses to be a dream, so I am spending most of my time there. She also finally let me buy my own wand after my dad's got broke the fight, it actually works! I can do spells so much better than I have ever been able to do. Its amazing, I suddenly realised how bad it was working with a want that didn't fit properly.

Anyway speak soon. I'll see you soon.

Love Neville.

"Lucius…do you know your solicitor had her served in the middle of the street?" Harry asked calmly where he was sitting cross legged on the sofa.

"What? Yes. How did you find out?" Lucius frowned slightly stopping in the middle of pacing to look at Harry curiously, Marcus looked up from where he was reading in his armchair.

"Neville, apparently its all over the papers, along with pictures of her freaking out," Harry grinned holding the letter out for Lucius.

"Hm, very interesting," Lucius smirked as he read the letter finally sitting down next to Harry to read it properly. Harry had to hide his snicker as Marcus gave him an over exagerated grin and thumbs up. "What's this about his herbology results?"

"Oh he got 100% in his practical and written," Harry said casually picking up Luna's letter with a shrug. He grinned when both Malfoy men choked and Lucius started spluttering slightly.

"He got a 100%? On both?" Lucius asked stunned.

"I told you not to underestimate him," Harry shrugged breaking the seal on Luna's letter and pulling it out the envelope.

Dear Harry,

It is good to hear from you. You are pregnant, congratulations I'm sure that you are going to make a really good daddy for them. Lucius will as well. I'm glad that you have found someone you can love and that loves you, you have a very happy future together.

Be careful of Dumbledore, you are safe where you are but you are right about the danger he is to you, you are safe where you are right now, but just keep your eyes open. The nargles say that it is lucky to have babies conceived on a Wednesday as well, so that is very good!

Thank you for your concern, I am completely healed, my dad was very proud of me for the fight, he said it was very impressive how we managed to do so well, he is very proud of us. There are no after effects of anything that I was hit with, so please stop worrying, it was fun to kick some arse, even if you were getting down and dirty with one of the Death Eaters.

I'll see you very soon, keep in touch. I'm going to Sweden in two weeks looking Mertis honsworns.

Love Luna.

"What's wrong?" Lucius asked concerned as Harry spluttered and managed to turn a completely spectacular shade of red as he read the letter from his ecentric friend.

"Nothing, absolutely nothing," Harry squeaked folding the letter quickly.

"Let me see, what did it say?" Lucius smirked as Harry turned even redder.

"No!" Harry shook his head holding the letter away from Lucius as he made a grab for it.

"Come on, what did it say that made you blush so dark. Come on," Lucius was grinning now as he tried to get the letter. Quickly Harry shoved the letter underneath himself and looked challengingly at Lucius. "Accio letter,"

"That's cheating!" Harry protested as Lucius quickly opened the letter and scanned it. He watched huffily with his arms crossed as Lucius clearly reached the right bit, the blonde choked before letting out an embarrassed noise that made Harry feel a little better.

"Are you blushing Lucius?" Marcus snickered as he watched his brother. "What is in that letter?"

"Nothing!" Harry and Lucius said quickly.

"Oh now I really want to know what's in that letter…" They all turned as the fireplace flared green and a tall neat man stepped out of the flames. He was wearing a mint green set of robes with a wand and a bone crossed over each other on his chest. He was holding a brief case and a small pouch. His golden hair was neatly combed and his blue eyes seemed to take everything in the room in before friendly eyes settled on Harry and Lucius who had stepped up beside him.

"Good afternoon I am Healer Sarris, Master Malfoy called for me?" Healer Sarris's thick Greek accent was a slight shock to Harry who after a week here sometimes forgot they were in another country.

"I called yes. This is my brother and his partner," Marcus said as he made his way to them.

"Very well, and you said it was about a pregnancy yes?" Healer Sarris asked glancing to Harry's stomach.

"Yes, I'm 12 weeks along yesterday," Hary nodded linking his fingers through Lucius's.

"Alright, where do you want to do this check up?" The healer asked setting down his brief case.

"In here, the rest of the house is warded, this is the only room that you will be able to access," Lucius told him.

"I was informed that this was I high classification and confidentiality situation, I signed an extra vow contract before I was allowed to floo over here?" Sarris asked questioningly. Glancing at Lucius and Marcus for conformation he waited for their nods before raising fringe.

"I'm Harry Potter. If anyone finds out about the baby then our lives are at risk," Harry explaiend shortly, shrugging at the incredulous looks the two Malfoy men gave him while the healer looked stunned at the information.

"I erm…hem…of course the safety and health of my patients are my priority, political associations and such come second unless you are running from the law of course," Sarris managed to choke out, despiretly fighting to pull himself together.

"Well I could be when it gets out that I've essentially run away from Britain and am no longer underneath their thumbs," Harry snorted.

"I shall rephrase, unless you have commited a crime and are on the run. You and the baby are my primary concern right now, not who you are," Sarris said firmly through his shock, earing an approving smile and nod from Harry. "Now you said you are 12 weeks?"

"Yes," Harry nodded motioning to the armchair, sitting down himself.

"Have you had a check up yet?" Sarris asked as he sat, pulling out a notebook and quill to start writing.

"What are you writing down?" Lucius asked sharply sitting down beside Harry tensely.

"These are going to be Harry's notes, I'll write down all the tests and results that I make over the course of his pregnancy, any potions I asign, anything to do with Harry and the baby," Sarris explained. "If it makes you feel better I can leave them here until the baby is born, but then I will need to place them into the offical hospital documents,"

"Will they go public?" Harry frowned.

"No, they will be lost amongst all the other files of patients that we have, and considering we are the only magical hospital for a few hundred miles around we have a lot of patients, so unless someone came specifically to our hospital with the correct documentation and legal rights to demand to see your notes specifically no one will see them," Sarris assured them.

"We would prefer you leave them here until the baby is born," Lucius nodded.

"That's fine. Now have you had a check up?" Sarris asked.

"Yes I had one to confirm that I was pregnant, nearly three weeks ago," Harry nodded.

"I am presuming that he went over the dietry and potion needs, the future check ups you'll need, basic tests that I will need to do today and the differences between male and female pregnancies?" Sarris listed before looking at Harry.

"Erm, we discussed that I could hear the baby's heart beat at the next appointment, he explained that male pregnancies form a pouch to hold the baby instead of a womb, he gave me some potions because I was having bad morning sickness and he set me a dietery plan as well. Erm, he also mentioned that male pregnancies are more delicate than female pregnacy," Harry added hesitantly glancing at Lucius concerned.

"What?" Lucius snapped looking at Harry panicked.

"Mr Malfoy there is nothing to worry about. Male pregnancies are slightly more delicate than female pregnancies because of the fact the baby is held in a created pouch instead of an existing womb. But there is a small difference, it does increase the chances of miscarriage, but that generally applies to the very start of the pregnancy, Mr Potter is 3 months along, by this point the only concern we have with the pregnancy being more delicate is that on the seventh month before the birth you will need to take it incredibly easy, little movement not quite bed rest but the month before the birth you do need to be careful. Aside from that you need to be careful of bumps and falls, they can be more dangerous than in a female pregnancy," Sarris explained calmly.

"Wait, you said I need to be careful on the month before the birth, but you said I need to start taking it easy on the seventh month," Harry frowned confused.

"Wait, the healer did not tell you that male pregnancies are only eight months long instead of nine?" Sarris frowned.

"No! He missed that part out," Harry choked out.

"Harry, you need to loosen your grip," Lucius winced.

"What? Sorry," Harry apologised loosening the hand holding Lucius's.

"Mr…Harry, male pregnancies last only eight months because it is only magic that allows a male to be pregnant, you have to understand that it is a lot of pressure on the male body to carry a baby, it's a lot of pressure on anyone's body, but more so for male's, that's why you will need to take it easy in the last month of the pregnancy. Because of the pressure on the male body mgaic speeds up the pregnancy essentially, its been known to happen in magical females who's bodies aren't able to support a pregnancy to term if they can make it to seven and a half eight months. Its why there are less premature babies born in the wizarding world," Sarris explained.

"Ok, so we have one less month to prepare for the baby than we thought, though it explains why I am bigger than you thought I would be for three months," Harry smiled weakly at Lucius.

"Don't worry you'll be ready for it. Can I see the dietery plan that your previous doctor gave you," Sarris requested.

"Of course, here," Harry pulled the parchment out of the pregnancy book he was currently reading and handed it over.

"Hmm, this is fine but I would like to make a few changes, add on a few things?" Sarris asked looking up once he had read over it.

"You are the healer," Lucius said.

"Right here we go, you need to stick to this for the next two months, I will assess you at our next appointment and alter it accordingly. If you have any cravings go with them, they are your bodies way for telling you what you need right then. How is your morning sickness now?" Sarris asked scribbling in the notebook.

"Its eased up a lot actually, I barely feel nauseous any more," Harry shrugged.

"That's probably a mixture of the potions and having the other father's magic close by. Both of your magics support the baby, the closer the other parent the less magic the bearer has to provide," Sarris told them.

"So having Lucius close by helps me and the baby?" Harry blinked.

"Yes," Sarris nodded. "Alright I'm going to prescribe you some prenatal potions you should have been given them last time, it wouldn't have caused any trouble don't worry, but you should start taking them as soon as you pick them up. You should also try and get some light excerise daily, just a stroll or something like that, nothing too stenuous. You do have to take it carefully though, no heavy lifting or anything like that," Sarris said firmly.

"We'll make sure he doesn't," Lucius smirked as Harry huffed.

"Ok then, I would like to check you and the baby over now if that's alright with you," Sarris asked looking between the three of them.

"That's fine," Harry answered before the other two could.

"Ok, well I need you to be lying down and not to have contact with anyone so that my spells aren't interfered with," Sarris smiled polietly. "Also if you could transfigure a bed for me?" He asked as he stood and started pulling some things out of his bag. Harry hid his smile at how clearly the Healer had read the over protectivness of the two Malfoy's.

"Of course, Lucius," Harry nudged the blonde and had him shifting to transfigure a bed. "Am I still ok to use magic normally if the baby is using my magic?" He asked with a small frown.

"Actually you will probably find that you have an excess of magic, your core senses that you need more magic and so it produces more to allow for you to be able to use magic, to support the pregnancy and to feed to the baby, as you are living with Mr Malfoy you will almost definetely have an excess of magic, so just as you normally would use it," Sarris smiled.

"We're done here," Lucius said standing by a bed that reminded Harry way too much of the hospital wing.

"Alright Harry climb up, lie down and relax. I'm going to run through the routine tests, check your blood pressure, the level of your iron levels, your overall basic health, I'll also be testing the strength of the baby, make sure the placenta and umbilical cord are good, the amniotic fluid as well, then I will make sure that the baby's heart beat, making sure that development is as it should be and that movement is ok," Sarris explained as he helped Harry onto the bed.

Harry lay back and watched as Sarris made his way through his tests, writing in the notebook after each one. Lucius and Marcus were hovering close by keeping an eye on the spells being cast.

"Alright Harry I've finished checking you over, there is some…slight worries about your nutrition levels they are worryingly low, do you have an eating problem?" Sarris asked hesitantly looking up from his notebook.

"No!" Harry choked out realising what the Healer was thinking.

"Harry these levels of malnutrition are indications of…of…" Sarris paused seeing the wide eyed look that Harry was giving him, pleading not to finish that sentence.

"Indications of what?" Lucius said lowly looking between them. Harry rubbed his eyes tiredly before sighing and looking at Lucius and Marcus who were now right beside him on the other side of the bed to Sarris. "Harry, is this about your relatives?" Lucius asked, his face was tense and angry.

"I didn't always get a full days meal at their house," Harry shrugged lowering his eyes.

"From what age? And how often?" Lucius's eyes were turning an almost pure sapphire blue in his anger as they scanned Harry's face while he took his hand again.

"Lucius, I want to focus on the baby, we'll talk about this after I promise, but not now, please," Harry asked softly.

"Harry has undoubtedly been under a lot of stress lately, finding out about the pregnancy, and no doubt getting away from Dumbledore going by what you have said so far, and until the birth will no doubt be stressfull from that side as well. I would suggest leaving this until after the baby is born. I will record everything that I find so it can be used as legal documentation later," Sarris spoke softly looking between them.

"Very well," Lucius gritted out clearly unhappy about it, but he lent forwards to brush a gentle kiss to Harry's lips reasurring him he wasn't angry at him.

"I'm going to cast a few strengthening spells and give you some potions to fix the malnutrition. Are you ok to carry on?" Sarris asked in a calm, soothing tone once Lucius stepped back.

"Please carry on," Harry nodded laying back again.

"Ok, the baby's heartbeat first, would you like to hear it?" Sarris asked finishing writing something else in his notebook.

"Yes please," Harry nodded quickly feeling excitement taking over the dread and panic he had felt earlier.

"Ok then, here we go," Sarris cast the spell and after a few moments a soft whooshing noise filled the room. Harry started smiling at Lucius only to pause when Sarris frowned and moved his wand from where it was pressed to the centre of Harry's belly.

"What's wrong?" Lucius asked quickly also seeing the frown.

"Please don't touch Harry. There's nothing wrong, but I think…" Sarris drew off after stopping Lucius from grabbing Harry's hand and moved his wand around Harryy's stomach.

"Healer Sarris…what is that?" Marcus asked slowly as they heard what Sarris had clearly picked up on.

"Why is there an echo? Is that supposed to happen?" Harry asked confused looking to Sarris who was looking increasingly amused.

"Oh, I've only been able to do this once before. Congratulations, you're having twins," Sarris grinned as Lucius, Harry and Marcus's mouths fell open and they stared at him completely stunned while the two almost, but not quite, synced whooshes sounded in the room.

"T…t…t…twins?" Lucius choked, his eyes wide as he stared at the healer, waiting for him to shout surprise.

"Twins, that is the sounds of your twins heatbeats," Sarris grinned wider.

"Heartbeats…plural…merlin…twins…" Harry stammered.

"Twins…as in two babies?" Marcus came out his shock blinking at Sarris.

"Yes, two babies. Twins. Even given the one less month to a female pregnancy I thought you were a little bigger than you should be but I just put that down to the size of the baby, or maybe you had your dates mixed up. This explains it much better. Magical twins are very rare! Generally there are only about ten pairs of them born in Europe every generation," Sarris looked excited as he spoke. "The only other time I have seen someone pregnant with twins was when I was in training still, male twin pregnancies are even rarer,"

"Merlin twins!" Lucius exclaimed.

"Lucius? Are you alright? You're looking a little pale," Harry asked concerned as he looked over his partner as he swayed slightly.

"I'm fine, just…a bit of a shock," Lucius smiled shakily.

"A bit!" Marcus snorted rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"Alright a lot of a shock," Lucius huffed.

"Wait, we have one less month to prepare for one more baby!" Harry sat up, panic written across his face.

"Harry it will be fine…"

"No it won't! We still need to buy everything! And now we need to buy two of everything!" Harry shook his head.

"Harry it will be fine! Darius and Lucien have started looking at a baby clothing line, I'm sure we can get a catalogue from them to get started on baby clothes. Harry we still have five months, it will be fine!" Lucius assured him coming out of his own panic as he saw Harry's building.

"Hm, yes magical pregnancies tend to be where a lot of the cliché's come from, including nesting," Sarris smiled.

"Nesting! I'm not some…some…"

"It's completely natural Harry don't worry, magic is a part of us and it fuels our instincts," Sarris assured him. "Now why don't I leave the heart beats up while I do the rest of the checks?" At the nods he received he left the whooshing noise in the background as he went through the rest of his examination, murmuring his spells so that he wouldn't cover the baby's heartbeats.

"Is everything alright?" Lucius asked as soon as Sarris finished before he could say anything, the healer just smiled however clearly used to anxious parents.

"Everything is perfectly fine and normal. The babies are developing at a perfect rate. They have fingers, toes, legs and arms that are perfectly developed, and they are starting to move around more now, especially their facial features, they will be yawning, grimacing and squinting. You should start to feel them moving any time soon, but if you don't for a month at the most do not panic! Not everyone can feel them moving, sometimes they do it at night, othertimes you just don't feel it, and they are squashed in there. The amniotic fluid is perfect, as are the placenta and umbilical cords. Everything is perfectly fine," Sarris assured them.

"They're yawning?" Harry smiled reaching down to rub his stomach.

"Yep. And I will come back in three weeks and I will be able to let you see the babies and you should be able to find out the sex of the babies if you want to?" Sarris asked.

"Well these two are sure that the babies will a boy…s…boys because of some curse so I guess it won't be any harm having a look while we're seeing them," Harry grinned happily reaching out to take Lucius's hands.

"Ok well I will send you your potions this afternoon, its important that you take them properly. If you need me before our appointment do not hesitate to fire call, I will get here as soon as I can. If not then I will see you three weeks today, congratulations again," Sarris smiled as he packed his things away, pointedly leaving the notebook on the table.

Lucius helped Harry off the bed before he cancelled the charm on it and then held his hand out to Sarris.

"Thank you for coming and for your discretion,"

"My patients are what are important to me, all three of them now. Do not worry, your secret is safe with me," Sarris shook his head as he accepted Lucius's hand.

"Thank you very much," Harry smiled taking the Healers hand next.

"You're welcome," Sarris just smiled.

"We'll see you in three weeks," Marcus nodded swiftly shaking the man's hand.

"See you all in three weeks," Sarris gave a final nod before flooing out. The three of them stood in silence for a few moments before Lucius broke it.

"Twins, we're having twins," he chuckled weakly turning to Harry.

"I suppose we shouldn't really be surprised considering how the rest of this has gone. We should probably be thankful that it wasn't triplets or anything more," Harry laughed rubbing his stomach trying to get used to the idea now that he had two babies inside there instead of the one that he had just managed to get his head around.

"Are you ok with this?" Lucius asked concerned stepping over to Harry who looked up from where he had been looking stunned at his stomach.

"I'll go and floo call Alexander and let them know how it went and the news," Marcus said before slipping out of the room.

"He never did manage to grasp subtlty," Lucius sighed shaking his head before gently cupping Harry's bump. "Are you ok with this?"

"Ok…erm I'm pretty shocked and trying to come to terms with the fact that we are going to have two children at the end of this. But…I can't I mean…" Harry stammered looking back down at his stomach.

"Harry?" Concern and worry was thick in Lucius's voice making Harry look back up sharply.

"Lucius I'm not thinking that this is a bad thing! Its just a lot to take in, plus I now have to deliver two babies instead of one!" Harry smiled wrapping his arms around Lucius's neck, tugging him forwards to press kisses to his cheeks before settling over his lips. Lucius arms went around his waist and tugged him forwards into his body deepening the kiss hungrily, tasting Harry was never something his got enough of.

"Mm, so you don't think this is a bad thing?" Lucius clarified searching Harry's face nervously.

"Two children to love instead of one, hows that a bad thing?" Harry smiled. "But it will making things funner," He chuckled.

"Two children," Lucius smiled shaking his head.

"I had better owl the others and let them know the news," Harry shook his head still feeling stunned.

"Three baby Malfoy's on the way, Merlin there haven't been so many Malfoy's on the way at the same time in nearly two hundred years," Lucius breathed out slightly as he ran his hand through his hair.

"Come on, help me find some parchment and quills," Harry linked their fingers together and led Lucius out the room.

"Twins! Oh Merlin twins! He's having…."

"MUM! Sirius just passed out!" Ginny shouted through the house. Molly, Arthur, Fred, George, Ron, Hermione, Remus and Bill all battled with each other trying to get through the kitchen door at the same time as they hurried into the room.

"Oh Merlin what happened to…is that Hedwig?" Remus veered off from hurrying to Sirius to look at Hedwig were she was drinking from Sirius's abandoned orange juice glass.

"Yeah, he opened the letter, shouted something about twins and passed out," Ginny grunted as she managed to roll Sirius over and held the letter that had been underneath him triumphantly over her head.

"WHAT!" they all surged forwards and Molly snatched the letter from her hands reading it rapidly.

"Oh my Merlin! Harry is having twins! He's having twins…oh Merlin I'm going to have to start knitting as quickly as possible! I have to knit for two babies, I thought I only had to knit for one!" Molly flustered.

"He's having twins…" Remus choked blindly sitting in one of the kitchen chairs and nearly missing.

"…only have five months to knit everything in!" Molly carried on fussing even though the twins had snatched the letter from her and were reading it with everyone else crammed around them.

"Five months, but he's three months along, that means he has six months," Remus frowned.

"No, male pregnancies only last eight months instead of nine," Bill shook his head.

"I didn't know that," Tonks frowned.

"It's a little known fact really, which is a little weird considering there are quite a few male pregnancies. Its one of those facts you know only if you've known a male whose been pregnant. My brother was a bearer for him and his husband," Arthur smiled.

"…and get some neutral colours as well…I'll have to wait for the next appointment to know the sex of the baby to pick either blue or pink colours, though Harry says that Lucius and his brother are sure the babies will be male," Molly fussed as Sirius let out a groan and lifted a hand to his head.

"…Twins!" he moaned pitifuly.
