The great hall was alight with noise. Excited students happy to be back at Hogwarts. They were awaiting the new firsts years to come in to be sorted, that was when the welcoming feast would begin. There were a few worried faces at the Gryffindor table however, as their hero, Harry Potter was no where to be seen. They had looked everywhere for him on the train and yet their was no sign of him anywhere. Hermione, Ron and Neville were anxiously looking towards the giant wooden doors hoping that Harry would come in with the first years, meaning he was just late. The doors opened and in stepped professor McGonagall with the new firsts years in tow.
However there was no sight of Harry as the last of the 30 first years made their way to their new house tables.
Harry Potter walked down the corridors of Hogwarts, the castle he had grown to love. It was the first real place he had ever felt at home, it was only natural for him to be relieved to be back here. Although he was still scared as to how everyone was going to act towards him with his latest condition, especially one boy in particular.
He remembered the last day of term for the previous school year, it was the one day he would never forget, the moment his heart broke.
Flashback
Harry was walking down the halls of Hogwarts on the way to meet the love of his life, his soul mate Draco Malfoy, at the edge of the Lake. The two loved to sit and watch the water together while they would kiss and cuddle quietly together away from the population of Hogwarts. The two lovers had decided to keep their relationship a secret to protect the both of them. They had been together for two years a couple of days previously and Harry could not have been happier.
As Harry made it to the lake he noticed a very anxious Draco waiting for him, as soon as Draco looked at him Harry knew something was terribly wrong. "Dray, what's wrong? What's happened?" Harry asked urgently as he noticed Draco was on he brink of tears.
"I'm sorry Harry, I'm so, so sorry." Draco said quietly looking into his eyes.
"What? Why? You've done nothing to be sorry for Dray." Harry spoke worriedly.
"I cant ... we ... cant, its too dangerous from now on."
"What? Draco, what's happening? What's too dangerous?" Harry asked fearfully.
Draco moved closer to the smaller boy and wrapped his arms around him, holding him possessively, remembering how Harry's body felt against his own, for it would probably be the last time he ever felt his one true love's body pressed so tightly against him.
Harry held on tightly to the front of Draco's robes, afraid to let go, he was hoping this conversation wasn't leading to where he thought it was.
"Harry, w-we cant see each other anymore."
Harry jumped out of Draco's arms and looked up into Draco's face as tears began to fall down his cheeks. He couldn't believe this was happening, after two years he was just going to up and leave him. "Why? W-what ... w-what d-did I do?"
"Oh god no Harry, it wasn't anything you did, it was nothing you ever did. I love you Harry, more than life itself. I would rather die than see you hurt. But, there's certain things that will come up next year, he has plans for me Harry, its too dangerous for me to be with you. H-he could try and get to you t-through me if he ever found out." Draco spoke his worst fears to the one he loved most.
"NO! you did not join him, you wouldn't. You said yourself that you would never leave me" Harry stated weakly.
"I'm so sorry Harry, I wish this wasn't happening, I wish it so much. But it has to be done, I was born and raised for this path Harry, and it is my part to play. I'm so sorry it has to end this way, if it were up to me, I would never leave you. But I will not let him get you, I would rather die than have him hurt you ever again. It has to be this way Harry, to protect you from the Dark Lord, this is the only way for me to protect you, just remember Harry, I'll always love you..."
And then he was gone, already running towards the castle, Harry didn't even have time to say those three words back to him. Harry's legs gave out from underneath him and he collapsed on the lakes edge, and cried. He let himself cry for the lost love, for the lost opportunity and the complete emptiness he felt inside. He cried even harder when he realised that Draco didn't even know that he was two months pregnant, that he would be completely alone in raising their child.
End Flashback"
I will always love you..." Those five words kept echoing through Harry's head as he approached the double doors heading into the welcoming feast, he absently wondered what everyone would think to a pregnant Harry Potter, a gay very Harry Potter showing up late to the beginning of school.
In the middle of the Headmaster's welcoming speech the doors to the great hall opened and there stood a pregnant Harry Potter. Everyone was shocked into silence, one look at Harry and you could definitely tell he was pregnant.
He still stood at the same height of 5"6, pale skin tone with bright emerald eyes. His raven black hair was now longer, reaching down to his shoulders and was no where near as out of control, and his stomach was rounded in that familiar shape of pregnancy.
One look at Draco Malfoy and you would have been able to see the tears that had began to form, but he furiously blinked them away. His Harry was pregnant? How? When?
Ron's voice broke through the silence as Harry made his way to sit next to Hermione and Neville who had moved apart so he could sit down.
Ron's face was as bright as his hair as he shouted out to his once best friend "YOU'RE A POUFTER?…"
