Chapter Three
Harry's New Beginning
In the two months that Harry and Draco had been staying at The Burrow it became clear Mrs Weasley had decided to make other mission to make sure Harry ate despite the near constant queasiness he felt. As Harry's stomach began to grow he realised he would need to venture out to Diagon Alley for new robes, there was only so many times he could magically alter his clothing. Since their Hogwarts letters had arrived earlier in the week and he'd already overheard Mrs Weasley discussing when to go shopping for their school supplies.
The morning before Ginny's sixteenth birthday, Harry and Draco were awoken by Molly Weasley calling them down to breakfast. Harry felt his stomach turn as the smell of bacon and eggs rushed into their bedroom, sliding from Draco's arms he ran quickly to the bathroom not even noticing the stunned look from Ginny as the door was slammed in her face. Once again he found himself knelt over the toilet just as he lost the battle with his stomach as morning sickness struck again. Leaning against the wall he waited until his stomach began to settle before standing slowly flushing the chain and brushing his teeth thoroughly. He could hear Bill talking to Mrs Weasley though couldn't make out the words.
"Mum I don't think Harry is going to be able to eat that."
"What do you mean, he's carrying a baby he needs to eat."
"And I agree with you but the smell of bacon and eggs makes him nauseous. Ginny was on the way to the bathroom when he ran past her I could hear him being sick from my room."
"Oh dear. I'll get rid of the smell. You lot can eat outside and I'll make him some toast. I did notice he seems to be eating more now."
"According to Draco the nausea is easing off but he still gets sick over certain smells. They found out about the bacon and eggs before they left Hogwarts."
"I'll have to make a list of foods he finds make him feel sick. I know the signs enough now to spot them. Come on help meet this food outside. "
Before too long the offending food had been moved outside, Bill set the extended picnic table as Molly Weasley cast s sell to clear the air making sure no trace of bacon was lingering. Harry could tell when the coast was clear as he left the bathroom giving Ginny a small smile. He knew how much the youngest Weasley sibling had hoped she would be dating him one day, her reaction to his relationship with Draco was one of maturity beyond her years.
"Sorry about that Gin. The smell you know."
"I understand, I think Bill told Mum the rest of us are eating outside whilst you eat inside. She's made you some toast and ginger tea."
"I'll go down soon I need to get changed first."
Harry walked back into the room hence shared with Draco smiling as he noticed his boyfriend was wide awake. Sliding out of his pyjamas he pulled on a pair of shorts and t shirt resting his hand over his growing belly. He was now three months pregnant and glowing. Before he could speak Draco was out of bed with his arms wrapped around his waist with his hands coming to rest on Harry's pregnant belly. Harry leaned into Draco's chest letting out a deep breath.
"Are you sure you feel well enough to go to Diagon Alley?"
"I need to get out of the house Dray. Everyone is getting too tight for me to be comfortable."
"Alright as long as you're sure. I love you."
"Love you too. When do you want to tell Narcissa?"
"She and Uncle Sev are meeting us on Platform 9 3/4."
"I think we'll give Sev a shock. Mrs Weasley said breakfast is ready."
"Lead the way I'm starving."
Harry grinned as he took hold of Draco's hand leading him downstairs, thankful that he wasn't on the fourth floor like other times he'd stayed at The Burrow. As they entered the kitchen he could see the family sitting around the picnic table. Picking up the toast and ginger tea from the country he sat at the kitchen table with Draco finding when he ate the nausea faded into the background now.
Once breakfast was over Molly Weasley gathered everyone together for their journey to Diagon Ally, unlike the hectic atmosphere as they were packing for Hogwarts everyone was ready to go relatively quickly. Feeling better then he had in a few weeks, Harry took a pinch of Floo Powder tossing it into the roaring fire as the flames turned green stating his destination, wrapping his arms around Draco he felt the familiar nauseous feeling as they passed by the grates before arriving in the bar of The a Leaky Cauldron as they awaited the arrival of the family and Remus.

Five minutes later the Weasley's and Remus appeared from The Leaky Cauldron fireplace, Harry found himself being led toward Madam Malkins' Robes For All Occasions. Suddenly feeling self conscious Harry lay his hand over his growing belly protectively as they entered the store. The elderly witch took one look at him and nodded her head in acknowledgment as he followed Molly to look at the maternity wear whilst Draco snuck away to buy his boyfriend some decent clothing for every day wear.
After buying everything he'd need throughout the duration of his pregnancy the small group made their way toward Flourish and Blotts to buy their books for their sixth year at Hogwarts. Usually this was part of shopping for school he enjoyed however now the only thing he wanted was to leave, the queasiness he'd been feeling earlier returning as he began thinking about his lost godfather, how he wished there was a way to bring him back. Thankfully before he could think too much Remus and Draco appeared making him instantly relax, the sudden urge to return to Grimmauld Place becoming stronger.
"Moony I um... ...I think we need to go to Grimmauld Place, I don't want Dumbledore to have access there that means redoing the Fidilius Charm. I just have a feeling. Please."
"Alright Harry I trust you if you feel the need to go there we will. Come on.
"Thanks Moony."
After saying goodbye to the Weasley's they made their way through the Leaky Cauldron, making their way toward Grimmauld Place. The minute they arrived outside the dreary old house, Harry placed his hand on the wall smirking as he felt the houses either side of Number 12 shifting to reveal the hidden manor. Taking a deep breath he prepared to enter his godfather's house sure he would find some clue to why he was so sure this was where they were needed. As the door opened Harry cried out in obvious relief. His new life was just getting better.
