Chapter 4

Harry arrived at Gryffindor common room. He hesitated a bit when he was in front of the door. He knew that once he went in, there will be no turning back. He thought of all the things that could lead to this. He knew that if Voldie found out about her, he would kill her that was the reason that she kept quiet. As soon as Voldie finds out, he would most likely try to get the mother of his child in an attempt to trap him. Could he deal with the fact that it would he his fault that she was in danger? For being with him, she now has to suffer, separate from her family to keep his child safe. She was giving up so many things just to have his kid, even if he himself didn't remember that night.

He wondered how hurt she must have felt that he didn't remember her. Did she even know he didn't remember that night, or did she believe that it had meant nothing to him? He wished he could just ask her but that is hard when you don't know who she is in the first place. This is why he was coming to his friends, so they could help him find out who she is.

With a frown on his face, Harry realized that when she leaves Hogwards, she will still be in danger even if he doesn't go near her. Voldie didn't like anyone to run away from him, if she just left, he would have a reason to go after her and find out for what it was that she left for. He would most likely believe she had decided for the Order. Either way, she was in danger and even her friends wouldn't be able to help her.

Harry snapped out of his thought to the Fat Lady asking him if he was ok. Apparently he had been standing outside of the portrait for half an hour lost in thought and had not been able to get his attention until now. Harry noticed she had a worried expression on her face. Harry decided to smile, he re assured the Fat Lady that he was in thought and that he was only worried about stupid teenage things, nothing to worry about and with that he spoke the password and entered the common room.

When harry entered, he was meet by Ron and Hermione worried expressions. Harry didn't want to say anything in front of everyone so he motioned for them to follow him to their dorm. Once inside, he made sure they were alone. He spelled a lock and silencing charm on the door and sat on his bed. Ron and Hermione followed him to his bed and waited for his to speak. With a deep breath, he told them everything; the conversation between Blaise and Pansy and his strange dreams that didn't seem to be dreams anymore. When he was done, they both looked at Harry with shocked expressions.

"Mate, I don't know what to say." Ron said, still not getting over his shock.

"Harry, we need to find who she is, if this gets out they will both be in danger. If You-know-who finds out, he will use this against you" Hermione said, she had managed to get out of shocked, she looked really concern about the new situation.

"Yeah, I know. That's why I want you guys to help me find who she is." Harry said tiredly as he ran a hand through his raven locks.

"Wow mate, can you believe it, you're going to be a daddy and your only 17; how do you feel. I mean you just found out some big stuff, are you taking it ok?" Ron said. He was really interested in what Harry was going to say. It's not every day a 17 year old boy finds out he is going to be a dad.

Harry sighted, he lay on his bed, took off his glasses and put his arm over his head. "to be honest, I don't know, and I'm so confused. I am happy and excited that I will finally have a family, don't get me wrong Ron, I love your family and I see them as mine as well but…"

"But what? Harry you know we see you as family. Mom and dad see you as another son and we see you as a brother. Harry, you know you have a family with the weasleys, and Hermione too." Ron said frantically, trying to reassure his friend that he did had a family. Ron didn't like Harry thinking that he didn't have anyone; they were best friends, brothers really. He got along with him better than any of his siblings.

"I know, and I appreciate it. I have always seen you guys as family but… I have never really had a caring blood related relative. This is my chance to have that. To have a real family, my very own blood family. Someone to call my own. The Dursleys weren't great and for years I didn't know what a real family was until I came here. Ever since I was young, all I wanted was my very own loving family. I have a chance to do that. I have a chance to have someone related to me and say they love me and I can say it back to them.

This girl is caring all of my dreams and hopes for the future. Ever since voldie came back, I had resigned myself into believing that there is a very big and the most likely possibility that I won't make it in this war. I thought that I will probably never be able to fall in love and make a family of my own. Now I find that my dream is coming true and I don't want to lose it. I want to survive, I want to live and see my kid grow up. I want to be able to teach him/her how to fly, take it out for ice-cream, and go to Disney land or to a quiddich match. I want to be there.

I want to fall in love with this girl so we can be a complete and real family. I want my kid to have both parents, a loving home and hopefully I can have more children so my kid doesn't have to be alone. I went through that and I don't want him or her to go through that, it hurts. Ron, I hope you can understand it, this is my one shot to really be happy." Said Harry. At the end of his speech, he was crying.

It seemed so long since he had cried. Last time he had cried it was in fifth year, when Bellatrix had hit Sirius with the killing curse, sending him into the Vail only to come back a month later. He had thought he had really lost Sirius, but when he came back, he was the happiest kid in the world. A week after he came back, it was proven that Sirius was innocent and was given full custody of Harry. It was perfect timing, he had just gotten out of school when he have gotten the wonderful surprise of Sirius waiting at the train station for him to take him home. There he found out that Sirius had been out for a week and didn't want harry to know yet until he was sentenced or freed.

"I understand perfectly mate. I swear that we will do our best to find your family and keep them safe."

"This might not be that hard, I mean there is no way someone can hide a pregnancy. No one can hide a baby belly. Right now it is easy to hide because it is winter so the belly is growing but it's not that big. When winter starts fading then it will be impossible to hide it and even if they can, they can't hide the symptoms. Since we know what we are looking for, we can easily see who it is."

"It has to be someone who the git hangs out with; I mean Zibini did say that Malfoy is protecting her, so it has to be…uh. "

"That blond sixth year girl, she's been near Malfoy all the time. In fact, all of the ferret's friends have been with her. "

"Ron, your right, now that I think about it, she has been sick. I've heard she had thrown up a lot, once in class. I don't think she has ever gone to the hospital wing to get checked out which means she knows what she has and is trying to hide it, it makes sense. Her names Luciana, she's Lucy! Oh my god, she is Lucy, Harry we know who it is, I'm so happy for you. Now you can have your family."

Harry who wasn't paying attention to what they were saying now was shocked. Of course, Luciana Thompson, She was the Slytherin 6th year girl that was sick and Malfoy had helped her get out of the Great Hall. He remembered that he thought it was strange of Malfoy to help someone, so that was her then. Why didn't he see it before, it was so obvious.

At that moment, Harry decided to take care of Luciana and his child with everything he had. From now on, he would protect them since they were now all of his hope, his future, his everything.
