ACT 1.
SCENE. 1
Percival Weasley has always worked hard to achieve what he feels is rightfully his.
This includes his position at the Ministry for Magic; after all being the Junior Assistant to the Minister for Magic's office is a very respectable job.
Which is why Weasley knows that in order to keep the respect and the job he has, one must make sacrifices. Such as a strict personal life where no scandals could ever destroy his political career, as well as a strict public life where he can be viewed as a man who will get the job done.
Percival Weasley has all that. Without a doubt he is one of the most highly respected men out there.
Right now.
Which is why Percy is looking at the letter of summons on his desk with very wary eyes.
'Mr. Percival Weasley
Could you please attend a meeting at your family residence on Thursday the sixth?
It is direly important that you be there.
Sincerely yours,
Headmistress of Hogwarts
Minerva McGonagall'
It is quite odd that something like this should be happening now.
After all Percy has worked very hard to sever all ties with the family that had brought him such shame two years ago. By the way that they had the audacity to turn their backs on the Ministry for Magic in a time of panic and need.
OK. That isn't entirely correct.
But Percy knows that it is basically what happened.
He's starting to get a headache. One of the ones that he knows is going to turn into a full blown out migraine by the end of the hour.
-----------------------------------------------
Percival Ignatius Weasley. Former Head Boy of Gryffindor has made all the sacrifices.
The ones that have insured his position at the Ministry is somewhat stabilized.
He dropped the girl that nearly brought him down with her admittance into the gambling trade. Not that it shocked Percy when he realized that Clearwater had a gambling problem. It was only that she had managed to acquire quite a debt during the World Cup three years back.
He dropped the friend who seemed to have those tendencies. The ones that dictate that everything that moves must be shagged.
He dropped the family that tried to rob him of his entitlements.
So why the hell is he standing here.
Looking at the near falling apart extended house that he left in a fit of fury so long ago.
This tall slender red head sighs and braces himself to deal with the worse.
------------------------------------------------
There are a lot of people here.
Some of them are obviously from his own family.
But the two Aurors, Kingsley Shacklebolt and Nymphodora Tonks working with this so-called Order behind the Ministry's back. While still being on the pay roll?
Why that is completely unacceptable to Percy.
Mad- Eye Moody is exempted since Percy knows how the man is reputed to be quite a paranoid near schizoid man. So he can't really be faulted for having fallen for Dumbledore's false promises or whatever the man managed to throw into their ears.
His old professor Lupin is there along with the new Headmistress and Hagrid. Though the man is a werewolf, Percy has always had a respect for his intellect.
Everyone is staring at him in his little chair in the corner of the room. It feels very odd to have everyone looking at him as if he's suppose to present himself as King Solomon.
It is the Headmistress who stands up and opens the very uncomfortable meeting looking at Percy with the old eyes of his ex- teacher.
"We have asked you to be here for very important reasons, Mr. Weasley. If you would please listen and try to understand the urgency of the situation…"
---------------------------------------------------
"As you know the death of one of the most powerful wizards of modern times has past. Leaving us all in a disarray of confusion and panic.
In the last year the Ministry has felt this panic and confusion when the finally accepted the fact that the Dark Lord has indeed risen. With the slow uptake on the whole situation this panic and confusion could have been avoided.
During the entire duration of it all the meetings of the Order of the Phoenix has been taking place.
However that is not important.
What is important is that everything seems to have fallen on the shoulders of a seventeen-year-old boy. This has taken on the meaning that we have a seventeen-year-old boy fighting the Darkest Wizards of our time. With that a sub- human man whose soul has been split far too often to actually succumb to death.
Thus, it means that this 'Killing the Dark Lord' ideal to be something of a fable.
It is a Horcrux that has enabled Tom Riddle to indeed come back from the shadows he remains in when he has been forced down into his hole.
A Horcrux is a magical technique that has the ability to make a soul split, thus delaying the actual spiritual death. Meaning that no matter how many times Tom Riddle is cut down physically, he still is able to come back so long as there is a body for him to occupy. But with a Horcrux the soul becomes something lesser than what it was. One split it divides only to leave a fraction of itself behind.
The Dark Lord has taken on doing the Horcrux for approximately half a dozen times.
With this, comes the knowledge that we will never be completely rid of Tom Riddle until all of his Horcruxes are destroyed and laid to burn at the stake, as they should.
But once again the person that has been dictated for the task, whether it could actually be justified is a seventeen-year-old boy who has no Horcrux and no wanting of that lost piece of soul.
So, it has come to this. A theorized making of a fetus with the same soul and body of Harry Potter.
What this all entails is that a replica of Harry Potter has been made into a fetus that has already passed the stages of egg hatching and has been feed charms and incantations of taking in the soul of a dead Harry Potter once he dies.
The only thing is is that a womb is needed.
A female womb will not do because the outlining and natural functions of the uterus will take the fetus as it's own. And in the theorized version this would mean that the fetus would take on a different blood and genetic make- up of Harry Potter and possibly reject the soul of said person.
However with a male body acting in place of a mother the genetic make- up will not be jeopardized. Mainly because it can be monitored in a fake and unnatural womb environment.
It would allow Harry Potter to do as he is supposedly supposed to do. While allowing Harry to come back a relive a life that he already knew before hand."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Percy Weasley is silent.
What is he suppose to say?
It doesn't only sound far fetched and like a joke.
But they are talking to him about a male pregnancy.
Which isn't even possible.
He knows that he has a very strange expression on his face. After all he can feel the cold of metal on his cheek, reminding him that there is a smudge on his glasses right in the bottom corner of his left eye.
There are tens of eyes staring at him.
"…Soo… I'm here why?" It's an honest question.
There's a sigh right to his left and his brother Bill's deep voice answers.
"They want you to hold the womb."
Percy feels another headache coming.
"But I'm a guy."
"Did you even listen!" One of the twins. Percy never bothered trying to tell them apart.
"Percy…" It's Kingsley Shacklebolt talking to him. "All of the people that can be considered trusted are in the Order or have some very well known associations with Harry. What we need is someone who can be trusted to take care of themselves physically while carrying the fetus long enough so that if Harry does die, the fetus can grow and be born as a child. With Harry as the child. "
OK. So it sounds rational.
But where the fuck is the logic?
"It isn't possible!" Goddamn these people.
Percy snaps his head to look at the raven-haired green-eyed monster.
"Surely even you paid enough attention to know that Muggles have deducted that men and women have different chromosomes and that's what makes the difference in the genetics. There is also the thing that a man doesn't have a cavern at all to create even magically a womb to hold the size of a growing fetus."
Potter answers this.
"Healers will monitor it. It will be painful but seeing as how I'm not willing to have my death as the Ultimate End because some bastard decided to kill my parents, I would like to have this chance. It might not work but I think that it is worth a try. Seeing as how you've decided to sever ties with your family and have made it well known you would be the last person one would suspect.
As well it is in my preference to have a Weasley hold the chalice to my Second Chance."
It chills Percy to have a Boy- Who- Is- Not- Quite- A- Man talk like this. Percy sighs and buries his red curls in his hands.
"How long do I have to decide?"
