Chapter Two

Life At Grimmauld Place

Harry had always wondered what it would feel like to live with his godfather, the li he should of had if Albus Dumbledore hadn't interfered. Ever dunce Harry found out the elderly wizard had purposefully left him on the Dursleys doorstep in 1981. However what upset Harry most was the revelation that his headmaster knew of Sirius's innocence yet still stepped aside as an innocent man was sent to prison. Ever since he'd found out, he'd refuses to even be in the same room as his headmaster instead leaving any room that he entered.

A month after arriving at Grimmauld Place Harry woke up extremely nauseated. Not wanting to wake up his fiancée he slid out of bed quietly making his way downstairs curling up on the couch with his school books determined to make an effort with his homework for once. He was around halfway through his potions essay when he heard footsteps on the stairs. Turning slightly he smiled seeing the smiling face of Remus Lupin entering the living room.

"I didn't think anyone else was up?" Harry said looking apologetic. He's always been an early riser, the constant nauseated feeling in his stomach enabled him to keep some sort of a schedule.

"You didn't wake me I was already awake. I must say Miss Granger will be happy to see you doing homework."

"She'll think there's something wrong with me. It wasn't until last night I realised how much I've relied on her for help. When I was at Privet Drive, if I did better at schoolwork than Dudley I got beaten. I guess I carried that I've into my Hogwarts ways. But not anymore."

"Good for you Harry. Are you hungry?"

"If I ate anything right now it would be a very bad idea. I feel sick."

"Morning sickness?"

"Mm hmm. At least I have a few months before the end of summer. Fred decided to redo his NEWTS so he's closer to me."

"Molly will be happy."

"That's what I said. Plus with Lee running the Hogsmede store George can take on the Diagon Alley store with Alicia's help."

Remus smiled broadly as he heard his honorary nephew speaking about his mate with pride in his voice. It. Was the same pride he felt whenever Sirius did something that surprises him, like the way he's finally put aside his differences with Severus. Upon entering the kitchen he began cooking bacon and eggs. Unfortunately the smell disagreed with Harry and the next thing he knew he was moving aside in case Harry ran into him, the next thing he heard was retching. Waving his wand Remus charmed the breakfast to cook it'self he made his way into the downstairs bathroom where he found Harry leaning over the toilet basin with his hand resting over his stomach.

"I'm sorry cub. I should've asked what you're able to stomach. Do you need anything?"

"Not your fault Uncle Moony. I think I can handle some toast. Nothing heavy.'"

"One plate of dry toast coming up."

Twenty minutes later breakfast was dishes out and a sleepy Fred and Sirius entered the back kitchen closely followed by Petunia and Dudley. Harry nibbled on his toast sipping his ginger tea in between bites thankful for the anti nausea potion Remus had given him once he'd made his way out of the bathroom. If someone had told him yesterday he'd be living with his mate and his aunt and cousin would be happily talking to each other he wouldn't have believed it. Dobby and Kreacher had just finished clearing up when Hedwig swooped in carrying two identical letters.

"Ahh it appears your Hogwarts letters have arrived."

"I can't believe it's been a month since we found out about the baby. It seems like only yesterday. I think it's time we told everyone because another week and it won't be so easy to hide." Harry reached and and took Fred's hand resting it on his slightly rounded belly, just as the Floo roared to life again. The calm was instantly broken by a loud screech.

"What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?" a rather angry Ron bellowed

"We were having breakfast before you interrupted us. You seem to forget this isn't just HeadQuarters it's our house."

"Why is my brother touching you?"

"I would have thought that was obvious. You knew I came into my inheritance, Fred it my mate and we're having a baby."

"Disgusting! End this now or we aren't friends anymore."

"if that's the way you feel then get out. How would you feel if I told you to end things with Lavender?"

"That's different."

"How? Because she's a girl. I've got news for you Ron I was born gay. You can't force someone to be with Gin. Fred is my veela mate and yes George is happy for us. You know where the Floo is. Goodbye."

Harry leaned against Fred taking small breaths to calm himself down, tears falling freely down his cheeks. He should have expected it really after their fourth year and the Twi Wizard Tournament, Ron turned against him before he could even explain what happened. He only hoped Hermione and the rest of the Weasleys (George excluded) weren't as hostile as his so called best friend. Only time would tell.
