Chapter Eight

Hermione mentally groaned as she once again failed to say anything to Remus and Sirius. Part of the problem was trying to get them by themselves considering everyone was hovering around exactly when she didn't need them to. And then the few occasions she had managed to get one of them by themselves she had backed out not really sure how the hell she was going to tell them this. Why had she offered to be the one to do this?

Finally she ended up following Remus when he went to the toilet. Embarrassed she waited outside the first floor toilet, smiling sheepishly when Remus stepped out and jumped at seeing her hovering outside.

"Erm, Hermione? Everything ok?" Remus asked unsurely.

"Yeah, well I need to speak to you and Sirius about something privately Professor," Hermione said quickly.

"Please call me Remus Hermione, I'm no longer your professor. What is this about?" Remus asked curiously.

"It's about Harry, please, this does need to remain completely private," Hermione stressed seriously, catching Remus's attention.

"I'll get Sirius and meet you in the drawing room, don't worry I will be discrete. And tell the others that you are tired and have gone to bed," Remus told her before hurrying back down the stairs as she slowly made her way upstairs to the drawing room.

She was panicking now, she had their attention, she was going to be able to talk to them. She knew what she had to tell them, she knew the basics of what she needed to say to them. But she had no idea how she was going to tell them.

She had just finished running her fingers through her hair for the fiftieth time when Sirius and Remus stepped into the room and closed the door behind them. Both of them were looking concerned and worried so she figured that Remus had told Sirius that this was about Harry.

"What is going on Hermione? Is Harry ok? Is it the Dursleys? Have they done something to him?" Remus rambled out at a speed that impressed Hermione. Had she not been panicking.

"No, no Harry is fine, really good actually! He's…he's not been at the Dursleys all summer," Hermione lunged for the door when Sirius and Remus lunged for their feet. "Wait! Wait! He's fine, it was his own choice. He left before the end of term, and he is somewhere completely safe," Hermione assured them quickly.

"He left before the end of term? But…I saw him walking to the Dursleys with…with you…" Remus covered his eyes.

"It was a strong glamour Gollum illusion using some of Harry's hair and spit. I spent four months creating it, even Mad Eyes eye wouldn't be able to see through the magic after Harry infused the potion with his own magic willingly three weeks ago," Hermione explained.

"That…that's a lot of planning, why? And where is he?" Sirius asked pacing in front of the fire.

"I…well you see…its…ha ha, this is a hell of a lot more difficult than I thought it would be and I thought it would be pretty impossible then…" Hermione laughed awkwardly.

"Hermione we're getting really worried here, please just say it!" Remus tried desperately not to snap at her.

"Harry was pregnant and he had a baby!" Hermione rushed out in one go. Sirius gawped before just dropping onto the sofa.

"Ha ha ha! That's funny I could have sworn you just said Harry had a baby," Remus laughed slightly manically, his eyes flicking from Hermione to Sirius and back again.

"I did, I'm being serious. Harry had a baby six weeks ago, a baby boy," Hermione said slowly.

"I...I...I'm feeling faint! I'm feeling faint!" Sirius groaned out. Considering Remus had just flopped bonelessly into an armchair and was sitting opening and closing his mouth in shock, Hermione quickly moved to shove Sirius's head between his knees and held him there.

"How...but...but...he's...oh...oh...Merlin!" Remus stammered out covering his eyes.

"How did we not know? Why didn't Dumbledore tell us?" Sirius groaned from where he was still bent in half.

"Dumbledore didn't know, up until six weeks ago me and Harry were the only ones that knew," Hermione answered hesitantly, this part was going to be as bad as 'hey your godson has a six week old baby'.

"What do you mean up until six weeks ago?" Remus frowned clicking on quicker than Sirius.

"You remember Blaise Zabini from our year?" Hermione asked.

"Yes," Remus drew out the word cautiously as though he didn't really want to hear what came next.

"Well he...hekindofdeliveredthebaby!" Hermione blurted out leaving two very confused people trying to decipher what she had just told them.

"He what?"

"He delivered Orion," Hermione said after taking a breath to try and calm herself down.

"Orion..." Remus gasped covering his mouth.

"Yes, Orion Blaise Potter," Hermione smiled proudly. Sirius and Remus's eyes widened but to her worry she couldn't read what they were thinking. She waited patiently as it seemed to be sinking in.

"He…he…he called the baby Orion?" Sirius gulped.

"He called him Orion, he wanted him to have your name," Hermione said softly perching on the arm of the sofa.

"He called the baby Orion…is Zabini the father?" Remus asked with a frown.

"Not yet," Hermione grinned.

"Huh? What…I'm getting more confused by the second," Sirius groaned.

"After Blaise delivered Orion I think he felt slightly responsible for Harry and him, he offered to take Harry to Zabini manor, we were going to run to the muggle world until Harry had recovered enough and then try and get in contact with you. Instead Blaise offered Harry safety at his manor," Hermione explained.

"Why did you think you had to run? Why didn't you tell anyone? Do you have any idea how stupid you both were!" Sirius snapped suddenly lunging to his feet.

"We didn't tell anyone Sirius Black because the minute we did Dumbledore would have found out and he would have made Harry abort Orion while he still could, and if it was too far along then he would have made Harry give him up! We knew the dangers all to well and we did everything that we could to ensure things went well, rather than risking Dumbledore finding out. Harry chose Orion's safety over his own!" Hermione snapped back, fury flashing through her eyes.

"What do you mean he chose Orion's safety over his?" Remus frowned also standing up.

"I mean that Harry made me swear an oath on my magic that if something went wrong during the delivery - which we researched extensively - I was to concentrate Orion first and foremost!" Hermione felt sick every time she remembered that oath that Harry had made her promise, in some ways she was glad that she hadn't been there for the birth.

"This is stupid Dumbledore would never hurt Harry in anyway!" Sirius shook his head.

"Are you that fucking blind you self absorbed, selfish imbecile!" Hermione roared, actually picking up the cushion behind her and throwing it forcefully at Sirius. She was glad now that she had placed her strongest silencing charms around the room.

"Hermione…" Remus choked out, he and Sirius completely stunned at the outburst.

"No! I have had enough of the people that are supposed to care about Harry letting him down, and you, you Sirius Black and Remus Lupin are at the top of the list, and despite all that he still loves you, he still cares for you both above nearly everyone else!" Hermione shouted, gesturing wildly with her hands as she felt the pure fury thrumming through her veins.

"What are you…I think you need to calm down before you say something you will regret!" Sirius frowned at her.

"Do not tell me to calm down! I won't regret anything I say because I've been longing to say them for years now. You are his godfather Sirius! And instead of looking after him, instead of going to him and making sure he was ok, not just physically, but for the long term you thought of no one but yourself and your own pain and you went after Pettigrew instead of telling the Aurors the truth and then going to look after your godson who needed you!"

"You have no idea…" Sirius drew himself up but Hermione cut in with a cold laugh.

"I have every idea Sirius Black so don't you dare! I feel Orion! I feel my bond to him right here! I feel it when I hold him and I feel it when I'm away from him!" Hermione shook he head placing her hand over her heart. "And I know, I know! That if something happened my priority would be my godson!"

"You're Orion's godmother?" Sirius deflated.

"Yes I am! Because of your selfishness Harry was left with those animals!" Hermione sneered.

"The Dursleys were the place Harry was safest!" Remus argued.

"From V…Voldemort sure! But did you ever think to check if he was safe from the Dursleys, who he had no way to protect himself from, did any of you ever think to check that he was happy there? Wanted? Did anyone ever think to consider that he was safer on a whole anywhere but there! No! Because you're all just sheep, following along behind Dumbledore, jumping off cliffs when he tells you to, baaing when he tells you to! You're all just lucky that Harry's magic is so strong our he would have died in that house!" Hermione was back into a full rage again.

"You're exaggerating!" Sirius snapped.

"They starved him! You think he is naturally that thin, you think anyone is! And you didn't see him in First year! They beat him! They made him sleep in a fucking cupboard and turned him into a House Elf, making him do all the housework, cooking, cleaning, gardening from the minute he could! They don't even give him his own fucking clothes, unless you think Harry likes wearing clothes that are about five sizes too big and have to be held up with rope. And the joke is you all see half of it, you all know the Dursleys don't ant him, you all know they work him like a house elf, you all know that he's not happy, but none of you have done anything to help him!"

"No…its…Dumbledore…" Remus shook his head dropping back into his seat.

"Oh grow a pair and grow up! Stop seeing what you are told to see. Dumbledore doesn't care about Harry James Potter, Lily and James's son! He only cares about his fucking weapon that he has trained up and when the time is right plans on throwing in front of V…Voldemort!" Hermione spat.

"I…oh Merlin!" Remus covered his face.

"And don't even get me started on you! At least Sirius had the excuse of being locked up! You, you spent all of Harry's life out there and made no attempt to see him! To speak to him! Then you come on into his life for a year, provide a stable, caring adult figure in his life who doesn't try and manipulate him, you give him information about his parents and give him the hope that maybe there is an adult that will just see him for him, you made him care! And then you disappeared back out his life with no letter, no concern when he was in that bloody tournament, no offers to meet up, no attempt at any form of contact for an entire year!" Hermione hissed spinning on Remus who blanched.

"I thought it was for the best, that I stayed away from him when he was younger…Dumbledore told me…" Remus cut himself off closing his eyes painfully.

"Clicking on now are we?" Hermione sneered sarcastically. "Dumbledore told you it was best for Harry to stay with the Dursleys, Dumbledore told you it was best to stay away from Harry. He even tried to stop you from being with Harry after V…Voldemort returned Sirius!" Hermione threw out her arms. "Well this is your last chance, because I swear, no matter how forgiving Harry is I am not. If you let him down this time I will speak to Blaise, I will speak to Gabriella Zabini, I will speak to Draco, Theo, Lucius, Narcissa, Jacque Flint and I will make sure you never get near Harry to hurt him again!" Hermione swore, her face turning deadly serious, all anger wiping away with the force of her promise.

"You…what do they have to do with it?" Sirius asked weakly.

"Harry and Blaise have been growing closer while they have been together the last six weeks, and bonding over Orion. Blaise loves Harry and Orion, and Harry loves him. Blaise will be blood adopting Orion at the Blessing ceremony, and Harry and Orion are everything to Blaise, I doubt there isn't anything he wouldn't do for them," Hermione started to explain.

"He sounds like James," Remus smiled shakily.

"What about the Malfoy's though?" Sirius asked uneasily.

"Well from what I have figured out, when Blaise was younger his father died, Lucius and Narcissa helped looking after Blaise while Gabriella recovered the broken bond. Blaise and Draco are practically brothers, so when godparents came up Harry wanted me to be Orion's godmother, and following the traditions the godfather had to be one of the father's friends. Harry decided to make it clear who Orion's father was to him by asking Draco to be godfather," Hermione held her breath as she watched that sinking in.

"Malfoy…Draco Malfoy…Harry asked asked Draco Malfoy to be his son's godfather?" Sirius choked out.

"But they hate each other!" Remus added.

"It just shows how strongly Harry feels for Blaise I guess," Hermione shrugged. "He trusts Blaise's judgment and when he said that Draco wasn't how he appeared to be in public. And he was right. Me, Harry, Orion, Blaise and Gabriella went to Malfoy manor for supper. Lucius and Narcissa are completely taken with Orion, Draco is in love. Harry made the right choice, he is brilliant with him," Hermione smiled.

"And he's fine with you being the godmother?" Sirius snorted saying exactly what the thought the answer would be.

"Actually he is. He, Narcissa and Lucius were all friendly and welcoming, Draco had no problem at all with me being godmother. He and Harry are getting on well and they are actually joking and chatting away to each other. Myself and Blaise are pretty much friends now," Hermione shrugged.

"They….they are safe? They are happy?" Sirius asked hesitantly, his grey eyes showing his confusion.

"They are both happy yes. Blaise is Orion's father, he has been from the moment he delivered him I believe. He dotes on Orion and Harry. And Harry really does love and trust him. He is offering Harry the life that he has always wanted," Hermione told them softy remembering the smiles and glances she had seen exchanged between Harry and Blaise, not to mention the kisses and casual, easy touches.

"And their safety?" Remus asked concerned catching her aversion.

"Moves have been made already to ensure their safety," Hermione hedged.

"What do you mean?" Sirius asked searching her face anxiously.

"V…Voldemort has been approached with the deal that Harry and Blaise would add their names to his side if he allowed them to live, wouldn't harm Orion, me or anyone that follows him over to Voldemort's side," Hermione sighed.

"He did what? V…V…Voldemort killed Lily and James!" Sirius choked looking horrified.

"He's well aware of that, and he has tried to kill Harry five times now. However, as tough as it is to say, Lily and James are dead. Harry and Orion aren't, I am not, his family aren't, and that is what is looking to now. His choice is purely based upon making the right choices that will protect Orion," Hermione said firmly.

"Orion's life isn't in danger from the light side!" Remus scowled.

"Dumbledore left a one year old baby sitting on a front doorstep all night in November after he had just survived a killing curse. He left Harry with abusive relatives, no doubt so that Harry would soak up and latch on to any and all affection given to him and the person that showed it. It worked at first Harry worshipped Dumbledore, even loved him as a grandfather, until his fifth year. Dumbledore will have no problem with taking Orion away from Harry, and Harry will never see him again. All for the Greater good!" Hermione spat the words out disgusted.

"He…he wouldn't…" Remus shook his head.

"Oh for Merlin's sake open your eyes! Look at the way he treats Harry, he's got you locked up in here Sirius with no care for you, and Remus he uses the fact that he allowed you into Hogwarts to manipulate you, ensuring that you will follow him and do whatever he thinks is right every time you start thinking for yourself!" Hermione said frustrated.

"I…I don't know what to…V…V…Voldemort killed Lily and James…" Sirius covered his mouth looking sick.

"Its quite simple really, it is the same choice that I made. You either choose Harry and Orion, their safety, happiness and being allowed to stay together or you choose Dumbledore and the 'light side' who would take Orion away from Harry, and throw your nearly seventeen year old godson in front of Voldemort a wizard with nearly eighty years experience," Hermione sighed rubbing her aching temples tiredly. "Look I understand, I really do, Lily and James were your best friends. But they gave their lives so that Harry might live, live not merely survive. You need to ask yourselves what would they want, would they be happy with the treatment of their baby? Would they be happy with what has happened to him? What would they do?"

Hermione sat silently for the next three hours in the corner, not interrupting or getting involved in the conversation that Sirius and Remus were having. She had said everything that she could say, she could only pray that they made the right choice for Harry.

"When can we go and see them?" Sirius's sombre words startled her out of gazing out the window at the muggle she was pretty sure was selling drugs on the street corner after having been watching him for nearly two hours. Turning she blinked to find the two men standing with tense shoulders and straight backs, their faces strained and serious, but set.

"You choose him?" Hermione asked for clarification.

"You were right, we have let him down so many time before, we won't do it again. He has a chance to be happy, and he has someone to protect, we understand his choices and we will support him. But we want to see them, to meet Orion and Blaise," Remus sighed, looking tired as he met Hermione's eyes.

"Harry is always our priority, no matter how we have gotten it wrong along the way, and allowed Dumbledore to influence our choices. And now Orion is as well. There is no real choice in the matter," Sirius smiled slightly.

"Ok. Its arranged for us to floo into Knott Manor tomorrow at 9 and from there we will floo to Zabini manor. If we are going to do this you need to pack things to take with you as we are probably not going to be able to come back here," Hermione warned them.

"You said that Blaise will blood adopt Orion at his Blessing, he's not been blessed yet right?" Sirius's voice stopped Hermione as she reached the door. Pausing she turned back around with a small smile.

"Harry wanted to wait until you had been told so that Orion's grandparents-apparent on his side could be there," She shrugged before walking out.

"Are you alright?" Blaise asked settling behind his mate onto the window seat that Harry was curled up on, gazing unseeingly at the book in his lap.

"She should be there by now…she could even be telling them as we speak," Harry sighed, giving up and closing his book as he dropped his head back onto Blaise's shoulder. "How did it go?" He asked placing his arms over Blaise's when they wrapped around his waist.

"Well I think I gave nearly all my blood, thank Merlin for replenishing potions!" Blaise grumbled pulling a chuckle from Harry. "Severus has started the potion, it will be ready in a week, we need to use it within two days," Blaise told him resting his chin onto Harry's shoulder.

"So, a week and a day from now we hold the blessing? Do you think that will be long enough to plan everything?" Harry asked concerned.

"With Mother, Narcissa, Hermione and Draco working on it, no problem," Blaise snorted.

"We still have to meet with Voldemort sometime soon, keeping him waiting won't be a good idea," Harry sighed.

"I just want us to be safe, the three of us," Blaise grumbled.

"I'm looking forward to seeing Orion as a mixture of us, our son completely," Harry smiled tilting his head so he could see Blaise.

"I still struggle to believe that all this is real. That soon Orion will be our son completely, that I will have a son," Blaise shook his head.

"The way the others speak, they kind of indicate that they never thought you would have children, not for a long time anyway," Harry said, the question in his voice clear.

"You know my reputation around school, not one that I am proud of, but I am sure you have heard," Blaise lowered his eyes.

"I know you…er…"

"Slept around?" Blaise scowled.

"Erm, yeah. But it doesn't bother me," Harry said before wincing when Blaise gave him a look. "Alright it bothers me, but not because you slept around but because I can get jealous and possessive and really don't want to think of you with anyone else, it hurts a little," Harry shrugged.

"Thinking of you with Davies makes my blood boil, but then I think Orion wouldn't be here, you wouldn't be in my arms," Blaise huffed. "Its slightly frustrating to realise that I can't wish you hadn't had a relationship with him,"

"Blaise, our past partners don't matter anymore. This is about you, me and Orion. We're together, I don't want to be with anyone but you," Harry assured him turning slightly in Blaise's grip to see him better.

"I don't want anyone else either. And I have never wanted someone as much as I want you, and its not just sex, I want to spend time with you, I love just sitting with you, I'm being consumed by you," Blaise smirked.

"The feeling is completely mutual don't worry," Harry laughed running his fingers through Blaise's dark hair.

"No one ever held my attention, that's why they worried. I literally had no interest in long term anything with anyone. They figured I was never going to marry, or it would literally be a marriage to get an heir," Blaise explained going back to their previous conversation.

"Well you're going to have one in a week and a day," Harry laughed.

"And a husband soon as well hopefully. I know its too soon to be talking about this now, and that we have Orion's blessing and adoption to focus on, but I want you to know I will be marrying you soon Harry Potter and making sure you are mine completely!" Blaise's husky voice, low with promise sent a shiver through Harry's body, something Blaise couldn't have not felt.

"We don't need to be bonded for that Blaise. I'm yours completely already," Harry promised meeting Blaise's deep eyes.

"Whatever happens Harry, you have a family now, I'm not leaving you, we're going to raise Orion, and his brothers and sisters, and we're going to grow old together until the kids stick us on the bottom floor of this manor or in a small house somewhere because we can't climb the stairs anymore," Blaise swore, seeing it with a kiss to Harry's welcoming mouth.
