Because of You

Chapter One

"Harry? Are you alright? You've been in there for almost an hour. Is everything alright?" Hermione Granger yelled through the bathroom door at her house.

"I'm fin…." Harry began to reply but was hit by another wave of nausea. He bent back over the toilet and emptied the last remaining contents of his stomach into it.

"Harry. I'm coming in." Hermione yelled before she burst into the bathroom. "Oh Harry. Why didn't you tell me you were sick?" She quickly began fishing through the medicine cabinet for the mouthwash and a cup for water. Once she found the two she handed them to her friend.

"Thanks." Harry croaked as he took the mouthwash and water from Hermione. He cleaned the vomit from his mouth before drinking the water.

"Harry how long have you been sick?"

"It just hit me today. I was fine one minute the next I was in here puking my guts up. I'm fine now. I guess it was just something I ate this morning." Hermione gave him a skeptical look. "Really 'Mione I'm fine. I promise if I start to feel sick again I'll tell you."

"Alright Harry." Hermione sighed. "My parents are waiting for us downstairs. They want to take you shopping for some new clothes."

"They don't have to do that 'Mione. I'm fine with the clothes I have."

"Harry, we both know you hate the clothes you have and the only reason you never got anything new was because your stupid 'relatives' would have taken them away from you. Now come on before my mum comes up here looking for us." Hermione pulled Harry to his feet then led him downstairs.

"Are you feeling alright Harry? You look a little pale." Jane Granger asked when she saw her daughter's best friend.

"I'm fine Mrs. Granger. I just ate something that didn't agree with me at breakfast this morning but I'm fine now." Harry tried to assure the woman. "'Mione said you wanted to take us shopping today. Where are we going to go?"

"We can go where ever you like. As long as it's in London of course." Jane replied with a laugh.

"Could we possibly stop by Diagon Alley at some point today? I'd like to get most of my school shopping done early this year."

"That'll be fine Harry. Well Michael is waiting for us in the car so we best be off now." Jane stated before leading the two teens out to the car.

The trip into the city didn't take long and before Harry knew it he was trying on clothes with Hermione. Mr. and Mrs. Granger had dropped Harry and Hermione off at the clothing store. They had some other things they need to do while in the city and would meet back up with them in an hour outside the Leaky Cauldron. Since they were muggles they couldn't actually find the entrance themselves but they knew vaguely where it was.

Harry was glad that Hermione's parents had left them to shop on their own. He wasn't really sure how the Granger's would react to his choice in clothes. Harry had picked out a large selection of tight black clothing, mostly leather pants and form fitting tees. He did pick out a few pairs of nice slacks, jeans, some slightly loser tees, some dress shoes and a new pair of sneakers. Harry insisted that Hermione pick out some clothes as well before they left the first store. She just picked out a new dress and a pair of sandals.

The second store they went to was a lot more Harry's kind of store. He bought himself three pairs of bondage boots, some bondage pants, a collar, a few mesh tops, and a studded belt. After they had paid for their stuff at the second store they went to one more store. The last store mainly carried women's clothing but Harry still bought some stuff for himself. He picked out a few pairs of jeans, some shirts, two mini skirts, and a corset. Hermione also bought herself a corset, some jeans and a mini skirt. She also got a pair of fishnet stockings for herself and another pair for Harry for his birthday.

Harry had realized he was gay back in his second year at Hogwarts and had told Hermione during their third. Ron didn't find out until their fourth year when he walked in on Harry making out with Cedric Diggory in their room. He hadn't been that shocked to learn that Harry was gay but the thing that did shock him was when during the summer between their fifth and sixth year Harry took them to a muggle club wearing some of Hermione's clothes. Hermione had known that Harry liked to wear short skirts and tight shirts since their third year when she caught him stealing some of her clothes. Harry commonly would wear a skirt or at least some really tight pants under his school robe. Mainly he'd be wearing something of Hermione's but he had accomplished to acquire a few things of his own over the years. Hermione of course would keep the clothes for him over the summer so the Dursleys wouldn't find out.

"Harry. Are you almost done shopping for now? We're supposed to meet my mum and dad in ten minutes." Hermione asked as they paid for their new clothes.

"I just want to go to one more place then we can go meet your parents." Harry replied as they left the store. He led Hermione across the street to a tattoo parlor. Hermione sat down while Harry went to talk to the storeowner. He was taken into the back room a minute later then returned again five minutes after. Harry paid the man then they left.

"Harry, what did you get done in there?" Hermione asked when they left the tattoo parlor.

"I got my nipple and belly button pierced." Harry carefully lifted his shirt to show Hermione the two piercings. She stared at the gold ring that was now through Harry's left nipple and the emerald studded barbell in his belly button.

"Ron's gonna freak out the first time he sees those." Hermione warned him as he pulled his shirt back down.

"I know but I could care less. He can freak out all he wants. It won't change the fact that they're there. Now we really should go since your parents are waiting." They both sped off down the street to the Leaky Cauldron.

"There you two are. Did you find a lot of good stuff?" Jane asked when Harry and Hermione reached her and her husband.

"Yes we actually did." Harry replied. "I'm getting kinda hungry. Could we stop in the Leaky Cauldron for some lunch before heading into Diagon Ally?"

"That's fine Harry. Just lead the way." Harry and Hermione lead the Grangers into the pub and got themselves a table. After they finished lunch Harry and Hermione wondered off into Diagon Alley while the Granger's stayed at the pub. Harry wanted to see the twins so they stopped at their shop first. The store was empty when they walked in.

"Harry, Hermione. What brings you here today? It's way too early for your letters to have arrived." Fred asked in greeting.

"I just wanted to get most of my shopping done early this year so I wouldn't have to worry about it later. Anyways we were in London shopping so it made sense to stop by Diagon. Also I did say I'd come by the store to see you and George this summer. Where is George anyways?" Harry rambled.

"Oi…George. Harry and Hermione are here to see us." Fred yelled into the backroom. George appeared a moment later.

"Didn't expect to see you two here for at least another three or four weeks. How you two been this summer?" George greeted them.

"We've been okay. Just spent an hour shopping in muggle London and now we're gonna finish our shopping in Diagon." Hermione replied.

"You planing on buying anything from us?" Fred asked with a sly grin.

"Actually I wanted to know if you had any products for me to test?" Harry said giving George a meaningful look.

"Come into the back and I'll set you up." George led Harry into the back room. "So what's up Harry? You only offer to test things for us when something's wrong. What happened?"

"Can wizards get pregnant?"

"Some can but not all. Why?"

"I think I might be pregnant. I've been feeling nauseous every morning for the past week and this morning I spent an hour in the bathroom puking my guts out. Also I've been a lot more tired lately and I've even been having some odd food cravings. Oh Georgie what am I going to do if I'm pregnant? I've been with so many guys in the past few months and all of them are wizards." Harry began to sob onto George's shoulder.

"It's gonna be okay Harry." George whispered into Harry's hair as he held the younger boy to his chest. "Everything will be okay."

"How can you be so sure Georgie?"

"Harry listen to me. Everything will be okay. I can take you to St. Mungo's or to see Madam Pomfrey tomorrow so you can find out if you're pregnant or not. And if you are I'll help you figure out who the other father might be." George pulled Harry closer to himself. "No matter what happens I'll be there for you Harry."

"Thanks Georgie." Harry hugged George even tighter then pulled away. George wiped Harry's tears away then gave him a chaste kiss on the cheek.

"Fred and Hermione will begin to worry if we don't come back out there soon. Here take some of these. They're a new addition to our candy line. They've got a mild truth serum in them but it only lasts for two hours after the person eats the candy." George handed Harry three large boxes of the truth candies.

"Thanks. These can really come in handy." Harry placed the candy into one of his bags before returning to Fred and Hermione.

"So what did my dear brother give you to test this time?" Fred asked.

"Truth candies." Harry replied.

"We probably should go finish our shopping now. We don't want to keep my parents waiting too long." Hermione stated as she looked at her watch.

"Well see you guys later." Fred and George said together then George mouthed to Harry the word 'noon'.

"Bye you guys." Harry nodded to George as he and Hermione left the store. They went and picked up new robes, restocked their potions supplies, got some new quills and parchment, and Hermione bought a few new books she'd been wanting. After they were done they returned to the Leaky Cauldron and met back up with Hermione's parents. They then all returned to the Granger's house.
