It had been a month since the final battle, and Harry had been avoiding the school, but he did not know where else to go. His life should not have ended up like this, he was the hero of the wizarding world, and one of the richest people in Europe, and yet he found himself knocked up and alone. When he had given into the sexual tension between them when they had been hunting horcruxes, he trusted him, and his word. They had been best friends since they were eleven, and he had sworn he broke up for good with Hermione, when she returned to school, but he lied. Only a week after the last funeral Ron proposed to her, and they were to be married at Christmas time, and Harry was once again alone, not having the heart to tell her.

He found out a week ago he was pregnant, or he had taken one of those home tests, which he told worked for wizards. He needed to know for sure, and as odd as it seemed for him to say it, there was one person he trusted to run the test for him. He wished so badly Remus had lived, he could have used his love right now, but he and his pregnant wife died, leaving Harry with no family once again.

He saw his old professor's surprise when he came into the classroom, hoping he would be here, told Severus was retiring. He had just survived the snake bite, and with Draco done school, his parents kissed, he had seen no reason to remain.

Severus put down a book "Mr Potter, I did not think to see you again."

Harry was pale. "I need a favour from you sir. I don't trust anyone else"

That raised eyebrows, they had worked together in the final battle, but they had never got along, and the boy had sure never trusted him before. He was humoured actually by the comment, and he assumed he could stop packing for a few moments to enquire.

Harry refused to look at him. "I need a pregnancy test and I know you're a medic."

Severus came around. "And you do not want the media getting wind of it? You have had sex since the final battle?"

Harry felt completely uncomfortable discussing this with him, but he shook his head and admitted before the battle. Severus thought it unlikely Harry carried a baby through battle, but he ran the test, wondering if it was more then just the media he was avoiding.

Severus ended "You are a six weeks along, as far as I can see you will deliver at the start of March. I have no idea Mr Potter how you did not miscarry."

Harry was stock white "Maybe it would have been better if I had."

Looking at the boy he would have suggested an abortion for it was legal in their world, but he knew Harry never would. Harry's mother had died for him, and he would not take a baby's life, it was not in him. Severus had no idea why he was interested but he inquired on the father, though he had suspicions, and they were confirmed when Harry admitted he and Ron had been lovers in the last month before the battle.

Severus motioned Harry to come into his rooms. "And does Mr Weasley know you suspect you are with child?"

Harry was pale and nodded "He told me no baby could have survived battle. He has not touched me since, and he will not let me ruin his engagement."

He had never liked the red heads, well the majority of them, but even Severus never would have suspected this. He knew Ron had no claim on the baby, unless Harry fought for support, and he could demand visitation, though it did not seem the weasel had any desire to do the honourable thing. Severus was reminded of his two best friends, both dead now, Remus and Lily, and knew he needed to do something to help Harry, but he was not sure what.

He finally beyond his own reasoning made the suggestion. "I have accepted a job abroad. You could come and I could be there to deliver the baby when it comes."

Harry had not been certain what he wanted when he cam here, or expected, but this took him by utter surprise. "I guess I can't have the baby here."

Though for a moment he reminded the boy he had homes abroad and enough money for an entire city of people to disappear and start a new life, he did not retract the offer. His new job he would mainly work from home, and he assume having Harry around for company would not be too bad. Besides he owed it to Lily to watch out for her son and grandchild, though he had no idea how Draco would react when he learned Harry was coming too.
