Pues, muchas gracias! (for those of you who don't know Spanish that means: well, thank very much.) I love all my reviewers, my alerters, and my readers. I'd appreciate you guys all the more if you would review. Please! For me. Anyway, on to responses.
Ses121: I'm glad you like it. Don't worry. All in due time, all in due time. Wow. Okay so I feel really bad for this, but I just now realized you don't have an account, and you review A LOT. Pretty much every chapter, for practically all my stories. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I think of people like you, who review and don't have an account, and have to ask myself. Why doesn't everyone else review also? Sheesh, lazy people these days.
Dianirah: Thanks for the review. I know it is sad. Don't worry you'll find out the more you read. Thank you, I will.
Not as many reviews as some of my other chapters but then again I understand it was a terribly boring chapter. Now onto chapter 4.
Unwillingly
Chapter 1
Harry woke with a wet t-shirt and Draco's face buried in the crook of his neck. The blonde was shaking uncontrollably and Harry's heart broke seeing his once proud boyfriend reduced to sobs. He wrapped his arms around him tighter and pulled him against his body. Draco's arms reached up to circle around his neck, as he pressed himself tighter into the curve of Harry's body.
"More nightmares Dragon?" Harry asked quietly.
With the way Draco pressed up farther against him Harry knew he got it right. He remembered well just how terrifying nightmares could be. Harry suffered from nightmares for years when Voldemort was still alive. Granted some of them were real, which made them more like visions, but some of them were fake. Which just made it all the more terrifying, not knowing if what you were seeing was true are not. He was glad those nightmares were long gone, having stopped when he killed Voldemort.
"Shhh… baby. It's okay. I've got you. I'm not going to let them come true. I swear. Shhh…" Harry wrapped his arms tighter around Draco, pulling him harder into him, placing a gentle kiss into his blonde hair and stroking his back gently.
"Shhh… baby. It'll be okay. I'm working my arse of right now to break the bond. I promise you. I won't let him hurt you even more than he already has." Harry whispered soothingly into his boyfriend's ear.
"It-It's not me I'm worried about. I can take care of myself. It's the baby I'm worrying about. He's so young and innocent. What happens if Ron finds out and tells me to kill him. I'll have to obey. I-I'd have no choice. He's not safe with me. I don't know what to do. I'm so scared." Draco said in-between sobs.
"Don't worry Dragon. He won't find out. I won't let him know. And if he does find out I'll do everything I can to keep him safe. And seeing as our son is not his baby, he can't force you to kill it while it's still in your stomach. Once he's born he'll be able to kill him. But, don't worry. I'm already working on how to break the bond. Snape's going to help us."
Draco perked up at the mention of his godfather. He was so afraid that Snape wouldn't give two shits about him once he found out. "You mean he doesn't hate me?" Draco whispered hopefully.
Harry smiled down into the hopeful look his lover gave him. "No baby. He doesn't hate you. He was bloody well pissed off though. As soon as I told him everything that was going on he swore he'd help us find a way to break the bond and flewed off to have a little 'chat' with your sperm donor." Hearing the sigh of relief Draco let out made Harry smile. At least he still had some family left.
"I was worried he wouldn't want me anymore as a godson if he found out about my… condition. You swear he doesn't mind?"
"Yes Draco. I swear to you. It's going to be okay. Everything is going to be okay. I will do everything I possibly can to protect you. I will be here for you and our son. I love you both so much." Harry whispered, laying a gentle hand on Draco's stomach, rubbing soothing circles there.
Just then Madame Pomfrey came out carrying various different potions. Harry sat himself and Draco up, wrapping one arm around his shoulders and pulling him into his side.
Madame Pomfrey handed Harry the goblet of pumpkin juice to hold while she administered the potions, there was five in all. After Draco drank every drop he grabbed the goblet from Harry and chugged it down.
After making sure the potions were completely gone Madame Pomfrey addressed Harry. "I took the liberty of telling your head of house about Draco and that you were going to spend every minute you possibly could with him. She said okay and that she would-" Madame Pomfrey stopped seeing Minerva walk into the hospital wing. "Be here to talk to you in the morning." She finished.
"Mr. Potter. May I have a word with you out in the hall for just a moment?" She said walking up next to the bed.
"I mean no disrespect Professor, but no. You can talk to me right here. I intend on spending every second I possibly can with Draco." Harry said pulling his lover against him.
"Alright, that is understandable. I would have been here earlier but it has been a very long day already. I've talked to everyone responsible for hurting Mr. Malfoy. Not to mention all the arrangements I have had to make. I have made arrangements for you to take your meals here in the hospital wing. I have also banned Mr. Weasly and the rest of the Gryffindors who are responsible for Mr. Malfoys predicament from coming into the hospital wing. If they are so much as seen here they will automatically be suspended for the rest of the year, and seeing as the year hasn't even started yet I highly doubt they want that to happen. If that does happen, and they so choose they want to continue their education they can wait tell next year and take the year they were in all over again. They have also been moved to a different section of the castle where they will take their meals, sleep, and spend all their left over time. Some of them threatened the remaining Gryffindors and could not be trusted around them.
"At least one auror will be in the fourth through seventh years' classes to make sure they don't pull any funny business. I know for sure Lupin and Tonks are in charge of the seventh years. Bill is also in charge of one of the years. He really feels terrible for what happened. Especially since it was his, what he said ex-brother's fault. I had originally wanted them to be taught separately from everyone else. But we just don't have enough time or enough teachers.
"As for their punishment? One hundred points has been taken from them. Each. Gryffindor house no longer has a chance in winning the house cup as they are already over negative two thousand points, no matter if classes haven't even started yet. There is no way that many points can be made in just one school year. They are banned from all hogsmead visits for the rest of the year and will spend the time doing whatever disgusting chore I can come up with. They are not allowed to send, nor receive owls. They will also spend every day in detention for the rest of the year and spend every second of their weekend indoors doing whatever chore we need done and also helping out Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest. If it were up to me, they would have been expelled right on the spot, no matter how many of my Gryffindors would have been missing. But professor Dumbledore seems to think that would have been a rash decision. That old fool needs to pull his head out of his arse." Harry snorted at this despite the obvious shock he was in. Draco just stared.
"As for Draco being Ron's slave? Hogwarts does not allow these things to happen. Especially in the way they were performed. I'm sure the Weasly's are going to be here trying to get Draco back, but I and the other teachers will not let that happen. You don't need to worry about 'performing' for Ron. He has been banned from all contact with you, with the threat of Azkaban hanging over his head.
"I also understand that Draco will not be able to sleep in his house. You both will move to Gryffindor tower to sleep as the only remaining Gryffindors don't want to harm you. The Gryffindors that did harm you will not be given the password and the fat lady has been told not to let them through if they do acquire the password. If for some reason she misses them, or they try to slash their way into Gryffindor tower, wards have been placed against just their entrance. I am the only one who knows how to break them. Not even Dumbledore knows how, and he won't know how. I created these wards especially for them and this situation and I do not trust Dumbledore with the knowledge of how to break them. He seems to think that you are in the wrong Draco, and should be expelled. Trust me. I have made very sure that he cannot. Draco, you will be safe there. I am really sorry I couldn't get them expelled, but I made sure they will suffer."
Harry and Draco's jaws fell open. It never occurred to them that Professor McGonagall would do that much to keep them safe. Draco and Harry both started to cry. Harry jumped up, careful not to hurt Draco, and threw his arms around her. To say she was surprised was definitely an understatement. She gently patted his back.
"Thank you, thank you so much. You have no idea what that all means to me." Harry said releasing her from his embrace. She smiled softly at him and placed a hand on Draco's shoulder squeezing gently.
"It will take a while for all the precautions to take place. Classes will start when all the auror's and people lined up to watch over the classes arrive. Since it is Friday they all won't arrive until Tuesday, possibly later. I expect you both to be in classes when they resume. Don't worry. Everything will be okay."
She smiled slightly. "Now if you will excuse me, I have a bunch of things to take care of. I will see both of you soon."
Draco and Harry both said thank you over and over again in-between their tears. Her smile was brighter this time. "Don't think me for doing what was right. I'm just glad you two are safe. Oh and by the way. If you two need anything, and I mean anything at all, just come see me and I will do whatever I possibly can to help." And with that she waved, turned around and walked out of the room, disappearing around the corner.
Well how did you like this chapter? I liked it better than the last one, kind of. Let me know what you thought of Ron's and the others punishments. Don't worry the story is far from over.
