Chapter 10- One blow after another
Blaise was being escorted back through the Forbidden Forest by Firenze, discussing what the centaurs had taught him about their concepts of Divination and Dream Interpretation.
Firenze stopped suddenly.
Blaise listened, out from a patch of trees came the little Ravenclaw Harry saved.
Firenze stared at her, "She's all wrong. That's no fourth year."
Blaise looked at the centaur, "What do you mean?"
"Can't you see? Her magic it's been altered. Badly. By a fool, a great fool who tried to manipulate it too fast." Firenze stomped angrily. "He should have listened to us instead of that foolish woman."
Her magic was altered? Luna Lovegood wasn't a fourth year? He trusted his teacher but what was his meaning?
"Youngling, come here."
The wisp of a Ravenclaw turned, her silver gray eyes widening in surprise. "A centaur?" she hurried over bowing low, "It's an honor sir."
Why did those eyes remind him of Draco and Carina's?
"Those are not your true eyes youngling. How can you see the truth through those eyes?"
Blaise tilted his head, "Firenze says you are no fourth year what does that mean?"
Luna's eyes widened and her upper lip trembled. "Daddy said be very careful. If anyone found out I'd be expelled and my wand broken."
"Found out what youngling?"
"That I was born in February of 1982 instead of 1981." Luna said, her silver gray eyes shimmered with tears.
"Why was that a secret?" Blaise asked softly, trying his best not to spook her.
"I don't know." Luna said in a choked voice.
"So you're thirteen not fourteen?"
Luna nodded.
Blaise turned to his teacher, "You are skilled at Magical Healing can you heal the damage done to her magic?"
"No. Only a very powerful wizard can undo it."
"What was done to her?" Blaise asked curious.
"Someone attempted a blood adoption but it was done improperly, so only her appearance changed but not her magic. A parentus divinus potion should answer all questions. How Gringotts, Hogwarts and the Ministry would be befuddled as to her origins I can only speculate." Firenze said.
"What would her being blood adopted accomplish? Why would anyone life about the year she was born?"
"Take her back to the castle, do not let her outside it. If the truth is discovered she would be in grave danger."
Luna was sobbing with fear when Blaise lifted the tiny girl in his arms. Given her true age no wonder she was so tiny.
XoooooX
Severus and Remus were cuddling when the portrait was thrown open.
"Blaise? What in Slytherin's name is going on?" Severus glared.
"We need a parentus divinus potion." Blaise said cradling the girl.
"Why would you need something like that? What is it?" Remus asked, he'd never heard of such a potion.
"To determine a child's true parentage when one has been subjected to a failed blood adoption." Severus said. "Why would you need one?"
"Not for me. For her. Firenze said we had to use the potion. That we couldn't let her out of our sights. That if the truth of her parentage were discovered she'd be in danger. Someone let her into Hogwarts a year early. Told her father that if anyone found out that she'd be expelled and her wand destroyed." Blaise said trying to calm the frightened girl.
"Luna Lovegood? Come here." Severus said softly.
Blaise set her down.
Luna slowly made her way over to the Deputy Headmaster, "Yes Sir?"
"Tell me, what is your true birthday?"
"Feb…ruary….9th…1982…" Luna sniffed.
"Can a blood adoption be reverse?" Remus asked.
Severus nodded, "Only by an extremely powerful wizard."
"Could you do it sir?" Blaise asked.
"If I can't Draco probably could. I can't brew when I'm this far along, we'll have to ask Draco to brew the potion. I'm not even sure I have all the ingredients much less the directions. It's an uncommon potion, it might be found in Moste Potente Potions. I'll check it out first thing tomorrow." Severus said.
Remus held his arms out to the girl who tumbled into them. "Hush now. We won't let you be expelled. That was a lie. We'll look after you alright?"
Luna seemed to relax some but didn't stop her silent sobbing.
"Perhaps, she should stay with Hermione tonight." Severus said summoning Dobby to send for Hermione. If Luna had to be protected putting her in the company of the most talent witch in Hogwarts would do nicely.
XoooooX
Blaise was happy to be home after putting Luna in Hermione's more then capable hands. Today he'd learned so much from Firenze and even Bane…
Who was Luna? Did it have anything to do with those letters earlier this month? Transfiguration, Muggle Studies and Defense Against the Dark Arts had been cancelled that day.
"What's wrong?" Charlie asked as Blaise buried his face against his chest.
"The world is messed up. Why would someone kidnap a baby and botch up a blood adoption?"
"Huh?" Charlie hadn't expected that…
"Never you mind, just hold me." He needed his mate to anchor him…
XoooooX
Draco took him being pregnant well, but Harry was a tiny bit annoyed. He wasn't made of glass you know, he was just pregnant something totally normal. Draco was always trying to carry him and Harry had times when he didn't want to be carried.
Draco was pouring over Fred's baby name books and Harry's male pregnancy book.
Harry was pouting…
Draco looked up sensing he was unhappy, "What's wrong?"
"I don't want you to baby me unless I ask for it."
Draco sighed, "I didn't realize it upset you. You normally like it when I take care of you."
"You're carrying me to class! I can walk you know. Even dad isn't so protective of papa." Harry scowled. "Your mother wouldn't stand it if Mr. Lucius tried that."
Draco felt severely chastised, "I'm sorry, I thought you'd like being treated as if you were precious to me."
"I do but I need to do little things like walk, it isn't healthy for me to let you carrying me all the time. The way you make sure I don't tired myself out is make sure I take my potions on time and I eat plenty. Dray between the Dark Lord and Dumbledore we have enough problems without fighting between ourselves." Harry still painfully remembered that night he and Draco fought before the Second Task because they weren't communicating. It had been so hard to sleep that night…he'd missed Draco holding him. As upset as he was then he regretted telling Draco to stay out of their bed.
Draco kissed the top of his head, "I always look after what you need…"
Harry grinned, "Then my snarky Slytherin, come to bed."
Hm...
Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Troll?
