Author's Note: Due to the feedback on Harry's pregnancy possibility I will not be ending this story after this chapter, but extending it into a full chaptered fic, how many chapters is it going to be? I'm not sure, but yes Harry will be getting pregnant in a later chapter.

FYI: The voodoo ritual that I am using in this story, of my knowledge isn't a real one, but I figured because of the fact that this is a Harry Potter crossover, and well Harry Potter is about magic, that I could make up my own, so if you are a follower of the voodoo religion, I mean no offense!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or X-men, which includes the related characters, themes, and situations. I also do not mean any offense by displaying Voodoo rituals in this fic. I do not receive any type of payment for these fics.

Chapter Four

Please Enjoy


Voodoo

For a whole week, Harry was nervous. He had this nagging at the back of his mind that for the life of him he couldn't get to go away. Harry constantly told himself that he didn't get pregnant, that it's highly unlikely that he got pregnant after having sex for the first time.... even though he knew it had nothing to do with it.

Gambit could sense that Harry was worried about something, but didn't bring anything up for a few days, but now he couldn't stand the fact that Harry was chewing on the middle knuckle of his middle finger.

Gambit grabbed Harry's wrists, and pulled the younger's hands against his chest as the sat on the couch in Gambit's apartment. "Is something wrong 'Arry?" Gambit asked and Harry looked up at him and for the strangest reason, a smile bloomed on Harry's face, throwing Gambit for a loop.

"Do you like kids Remy?" Harry asked.

Gambit raised an eyebrow. Harry only called him 'Remy' when they were having sex, which they've had almost every day, Gambit thought with a small smile, that he quickly shook off. " Kids? Why?" Gambit decided to go with.

"It's a simple question Remy. Do you like kids?" Harry asked.

Gambit frowned. " 'm no good with kids," Gambit said and Harry snorted. "What I'm not,"

"I didn't ask if you were good with them Remy. I just wanted to know if you like them, like would you ever want to have any," Harry said.

Gambit leaned back and crossed his legs. "Well I guess I've thought 'bout it before," Gambit looked down at Harry. "But two men can't have kids 'Arry. Mutants can't adopt kids either here in the States, I know it's like that in a lot of countries to,"

"Magical communities allow mutants to adopt children. With a mutant's abilities it helps a magical child feel more at ease," Harry said and looked down at his hands still held against Gambit's chest.

"Why are you asking 'Arry?" Gambit asked. "Isn't it a bit early to be talkin' 'bout kids?"

Harry opened his mouth but all that came out was a distressed hiss so he snapped his mouth shut with a blush.

" Ya can tell me anything 'Arry," Gambit said.

"My father's side of the family carries this... well a mutation of sorts," Harry started, his brow furrowed as he tried to remember what Sirius, Remus and Hermione had told him over the summer when his blood test came back positive for the male pregnancy gene.

"Like the X-gene?" Gambit asked.

"Kinda," Harry said. "But it's only found in people of magical blood,"

"Alright, what's this gene do?" Gambit asked.

Harry blushed and looked down. "It allows men to get pregnant," He mumbled, then waited for the blow up.

But none came, Harry looked up at Gambit, to see that the mutant's face was surprisingly calm, devoid of a look of disgust or one that made it look like he thought Harry was joking. "You can get pregnant? Like swell up like a beach ball pregnant?" Gambit asked.

Harry laughed a bit at that. "Yea, I can carry children," He said. "You're not freaked out or anything?"

"You're talking to a guy who's friends with a man who's covered in blue fur, with only three fingers per hand and three toes per foot, with a tail," Gambit said. "I've seen some pretty strange things 'Arry, a guy that can pop out kids isn't the strangest," He said.

Harry raised an eyebrow. "The fact that I can have kids, as a male, isn't the strangest thing you've seen?" He asked.

"Nope," Gambit said.

"Then what is?" Harry asked.

Gambit frowned. "Don't know, there's so many mutants out there, and a lot of 'em have some pretty strange abilities," Gambit said.

Harry took a deep breath, and a few minutes of silence fell over them.

"Why did you ask about kids Harry?" Gambit asked.

"The first time we had sex... you didn't wear a condom," Harry muttered. "A friend of mine wants me to take a test later tonight,"

Gambit looked down at Harry. "Yea? If you are, then what?" He asked.

Harry shook his head. " I don't know honestly," Harry ran his fingers through his hands. "I have enough money and stuff to take care of me and a baby very comfortably for a lifetime and i-if you wanted I wouldn't bother you f-"

"What do you mean?" Gambit asked.

"W-well you.... I live in England Gambit, and you live here," Harry said motioning around Gambit's apartment. "And y-you never said that you wanted kids or a family... and I do s-"

"I never said that I didn't want a family either 'Arry," Gambit said and Harry looked at him. "It's a bit sudden sure, but remember what I told ya? I got morals 'Arry," Gambit said leaning down so he was eye level with Harry. " I take care o' my own, and right now, that means you, and if your pregnant, that means the baby too,"

"But you have a life here," Harry said.

"My life is portable," Gambit countered.

"We've only known each other about a month," Harry said.

"I've got all the time in the world," Gambit said.

Harry swallowed. "Do you want to be with me?" Harry asked.

Gambit raised an eyebrow. "If I didn't.... do you think you would've woken up in my bed, or of a bed in some random motel?"

Harry looked up at Gambit. Before he could say anything, Gambit pressed his lips against' Harry's. Harry let out a surprised but 'manly' squeak against Gambit's lips before relaxing into the kiss, and returning it.

Gambit made Harry lay back on the couch and trailed kisses down Harry's neck. "Gambit," Harry said.

"I know, love," Gambit said. "No further then this tonight," Gambit laid down on top of Harry, supporting himself by his arms on either side of Harry's head. "What time are ya meeting your friend?" He asked pressing kisses to Harry's cheeks.

"Eight," Harry said.

Gambit glanced at the clock on the wall and hummed. "That gives us four hours," Gambit returned to placing kisses on Harry's exposed flesh, moving down to Harry's neck. "What should we do?"

"We could go to lunch, or just stay here like this," Harry said wrapping his arms around Gambit's shoulders.

"Stay here it is then," Gambit said and pressed his lips to Harry's.

"Do you want to go with me?" Harry asked.

Gambit looked at Harry. "To meet your friend?" He asked.

"It's a good idea if you want to be with me right? That you meet my family," Harry said.

Gambit hummed against Harry's neck. "Alright then 'Arry," Gambit said. Harry smiled and closed his eyes.


"You're late Harry!" Hermione yelled as Harry opened the door to the hotel room he was sharing with Ron.

"Sorry Mione, we stopped to get something to eat first," Harry said.

Hermione's mouth fell open when she spotted Gambit. She recovered rather quickly though and held out her hand for Gambit. "Hermione Granger," She said.

"Remy LeBeau," Gambit said shaking Hermione's hand. " 'Arry was telling me all about ya Ms. Granger over dinner,"

"Call me Hermione or Mione please," Hermione said smiling.

"Only if ya call me Gambit,"

"Fair enough," Hermione said crossing her arms over her chest. She turned to Harry. "Well, at least he has good genes," She said and Harry blushed.

"Mione!" Harry cried.

Gambit chuckled. "Le's not jump to conclusions alright?"

"Nervous about possibly being a father Gambit?" Hermione asked.

Gambit just smiled, but didn't answer.

"Where's Ron?" Harry asked changing the subject.

"He went to go get a bit of monkshood for me," Hermione said. "It has to be added at the same time as the blood in order for the test to work, and the bit that I had with me was bad," Hermione said, seeming a bit upset that one of her potion ingredients wasn't good.

Harry raised an eyebrow. "You carry a potions kit with you Hermione?" Harry asked sitting on the edge of his bed.

"You don't?" Hermione asked.

"Uh no, I"m terrible at potions," Harry said.

Hermione rolled her eyes. "I'm going to check on the potion, I'll be right back," She said and went into the bathroom. Gambit sat behind Harry, wrapping his arms around Harry's waist.

"Are you nervous?" Gambit asked quietly, his lips against Harry's ear.

"A bit," Harry said lacing his fingers with Gambit's.

"It'll be fine," Gambit said as the hotel room door opened again, and Ron ran in.

"Hermione!" Ron called. "Oh hello Harry," Ron said grinning, then looked at Gambit. "You must be Gambit," He said, his grin fading.

"Yes, nice to meet you," Gambit said.

Ron crossed his arms. "Just so you know, if you hurt Harry, not only will I hex you so you're always looking at your backside, I'm pretty sure that the rest of my family will want a piece of you too,"

Harry had to bite back his laughter. "I'll keep that in mind," Gambit said. "It was nice to meet you to,"

"Hermione's checking the potion," Harry said.

"Right," Ron said finally taking his eyes off Gambit and turned and went into the bathroom.

"I feel so loved right now," Harry said grinning goofily.

"Really?" Gambit asked. "Why's that?"

"Between Ron and Hermione and you, how can I not feel loved?" Harry asked.

"I don't know," Gambit said resting his head on Harry's shoulder as Hermione and Ron came out of the bathroom. Hermione carrying a steaming clear tube of clear thick potion in one hand and a needle in the other.

"Loving feeling is gone," Harry said eyeing the needle Hermione had.

"Don't be a baby," Hermione said

"I can't help it," Harry whined.

"After everything you've been through, you're still afraid of needles," Hermione said rolling her eyes. "Gambit, will you mind helping me?"

"If you do it, I'm sleeping here tonight," Harry hissed.

"Don't be like that love," Gambit said pressing a kiss to Harry's cheek and took Harry's hand and held it out. "Just relax," Gambit's voice took on again that husky hypnotic tone, and Harry felt himself relax. "Good," Gambit whispered in Harry's ear. Gambit nodded to Hermione and she pricked Harry's thumb. Harry didn't even notice, to caught up in Gambit's hypnosis.

"How did you do that?" Ron asked as Hermione swirled the potion now that the monkshood and blood were in it. It had flashed blue then turned clear again.

Gambit released his hypnosis and Harry took a deep breath. "It's a lover's touch," Gambit said and pressed a quick kiss to Harry's lips. "Alright love?"

Harry nodded. "You did that the other night too. What was it?" Harry asked.

"If you figure it out, it'll ruin the fun," Gambit said.

Harry frowned and looked at Hermione. "So, how long do we wait?"

"Three to five minutes," Hermione said. "If it turns purple you're pregnant, red if you're not,"

"Why purple?" Harry asked leaning back against Gambit's chest as Ron and Hermione settled on Ron's bed.

"Monkshood is generally purple, there are some cases where the flowers are blues or even white," It wasn't Hermione that answered, but Gambit. "Monkshood will determine the color of the positive result,"

The three teens looked at him. "How did you know that?" Hermione asked.

"I live in New Orleans, I know things," Gambit said smiling.

Hermione frowned. "Right," She lifted the potion and swirled it again, the liquid had taken on a cloudy milky white color. "There's the positive for the pregnancy gene," She said more to herself then to the others. "A few more minutes, and we'll know if you're going to be a teen parent,"

"Great," Harry said dryly.

"It's only your fault Harry James Potter! You were warned, by Remus, Sirius and myself," Hermione snapped.

"I know," Harry defended. "I was stupid, I get it," He said.

Hermione huffed and looked at the potion. "Red, you're clear," She said.

Harry groaned and rubbed his temples. "Wonderful,"

"You don't sound happy," Gambit said.

"I am, just tired I guess," Harry said.

"Why don't we go back to my place then," Gambit suggested. "You can get to bed early,"

"Good idea," Harry said.

"Don't forget we've got class tomorrow night," Hermione said as Harry and Gambit made their way to the door.

"Right, the voodoo ritual thing, got it," Harry said. "Bye guys, I'll see you tomorrow," He said and left with Gambit right behind him.

"Let's go celebrate," Gambit whispered as they walked onto the street.

Harry grinned and turned to face Gambit. "How would we do that?" Harry asked.

Gambit took Harry's hips tightly into his grip. " Makin' love of course," He pulled Harry against him, and kissed him sensually.

Harry moaned and reached up, tangling his fingers in Gambit's hair. "We had sex yesterday," Harry said when they pulled away.

"It was amazin' too," Gambit began kissing down Harry's neck. "But we should still do it tonight," Gambit sucked just below Harry's left ear, and Harry's toes curled in his shoes and he moaned.

"Remy," Harry gripped Gambit's shirt. "At least wait until we're inside,"

Gambit grinned and pulled away from Harry just long enough to lead the way back to the rooftop entrance to his apartment. He pushed Harry up against the door, and attacked his mouth again.


Harry stood between Hermione and Ron. The Hogwarts students had formed a wide circle around a clearing in the woods outside the city. There was a large fire in the center of the clearing, a group of four men and two women were on the north side of the fire beating heavily on drums. There were other people dancing around the fire and chanting. Two women who were leading the ritual had snakes draped around their shoulders as they chanted louder then the others.

Harry was surprised by the amount of magic in the air, this was the ritual that Voodoo followers used to find their animagi forms, and other magic users that had their animal forms would also turn into their forms through out depending on the level of their magic. Most of the students were already shifted, Harry could tell that Ron and Hermione were also both close to changing, where as he just felt a bit dizzy.

Ron shifted first, a Jack Russell Terrier, just like his patronus. Hermione followed shortly after, a bobcat.

Harry looked around the clearing, he was one of the only people still as a human. Some of the performers had even turned.

Finally as the music was dying down and the two women with the snakes began to shift, Harry did as well. With a roar he shifted into a lion with a pure black mane and a single black line going down his spine, making his tail completely black as well. and glowing green eyes. Harry laid down slowly, knowing that his large form dwarfed most of the forms here except for the horse and the gorilla that were on the other side of the clearing. There were two other large cats, but their size didn't come anywhere near that of an adult male lion.

Harry knew it'd take a few hours to change back because of the ritual but was in no hurry, he had told Gambit he wouldn't be back until late tonight.


It was midnight when Harry was able to return to the city, and he headed to Gambit's bar to find him,

As soon as Harry entered, he could feel nearly a dozen mutants in the back room, including Gambit and Rogue.

Harry gritted his teeth and headed back, there was a man standing outside the door when Harry got to it. He was wearing red sunglasses, and a stern look on his face.

"Not tonight kid, go home," He said.

Harry tried to push past him, but the man grabbed his shoulder.

"Gambit's busy," He said and Harry looked up at him.

Harry tried to calm himself, he still didn't like to be touched, most of all by people he didn't know. "Let go," Harry said. "Or I'll break every bone in your hand," He said.

"Look kid, whatever Gambit stole from you can wait," The man said.

Harry spun and kicked the man's legs from under him, then put his foot on the man's chest. "You're lucky we've got a treaty, or I really would've broken your hand," Harry said and pushed the door open with a wave of his hand and went inside.

Gambit was sitting on a crate of whiskey, Rogue, Iceman and Pyro were standing in different corners of the room. Perched in the back right corner on a support beam from the ceiling was a man with blue fur, and a tail. There was a bulky muscled man with a cigar in his mouth standing in the corner next to the door, a woman with red hair standing behind a man in a wheelchair in front of Gambit. There was a dark skinned woman with white hair sitting on a table against the wall opposite the door as well.

" What are you doing here?" Gambit jumped off the crate and moved around the woman and man in the wheelchair to Harry.

"I told you I was coming," Harry said, glancing out the open door as the man he'd knocked over got to his feet.

The man with the cigar laughed. "Got your ass kicked by a girl did ya Cyclops,"

"Harry Potter,"

Harry's eyes darted to the bald man in the wheelchair, who had turned around.

"My name is Charles Xavier,"

"I know of you," Harry said. "What do you want, and stay out of my head, I don't take kindly to people poking around in it. It's not a book to be read,"

"I apologize," Xavier said.

"What are you doing here? Gambit already told her no," Harry said nodding towards Rogue.

"The situation called for a more drastic approach. We need Gambit's help," Xavier said calmly.

"A team this large and you need help?" Harry asked looking around. "What for?"

" 'Arry," Gambit said and Harry looked at him. "Go wait outside, please,"

Harry gritted his teeth. "Gambit, I want to know what's going on,"

"Look kid, it's time for you to go," The man with the cigar grabbed Harry's shoulder, and Harry reacted, he apparated behind the man then flung him across the room, stopping him mid-air before he could crash into the woman with white hair.

"Don't touch me. Don't treat me like a child either," Harry lowered the man to the ground and looked at Gambit. "It's not like I don't know what you are, so don't hide it from me,"

"I'm not hiding from ya 'Arry," Gambit said. "Please, just wait outside, I'll explain everything later,"

Harry stared into Gambit's eyes for a few minutes, then slowly nodded. "I'll go back to your place and wait for you," Harry said and apparated away with a loud crack.


End of Chapter Four.

I thought I might as well add a little voodoo considering that the story is named Voodoo, but I have to admit it's a bit lame. My knowledge of voodoo is very small, so I didn't really know what to do. Also look! Is that... a plot?! Oh my god, it is!

For those of you who were worried that Harry would get pregnant so soon, it's okay, Harry won't get knocked up for a while ^-^

So thanks for reading!
