10. A Healer's Advice

Harry knocked on Dumbledore's door.

'Come in, Harry,' Dumbledore's voice sounded.

'Can I ask you again to not to leave the Burrow-'Dumbledore began.

'Do you think I'm going to risk being kidnapped again?' asked Harry.

'No,' Dumbledore sighed.

'Sir,' said Harry.

'Harry is there something you would like to tell me?' asked Dumbledore.

'At Slughorn's party Trelawney and I were talking to each other,' Harry began. 'And she her eyes rolled. She made a prophecy.'

'Can you tell me what it said?' asked Dumbledore.

'Not exactly it was quite long,' Harry flushed.

'No its fine can you do this remember it then bring you wand up to your head and say "memoria"' Dumbledore instructed.

Harry did as he was told, 'memoria,' he said.

Harry brought out his wand where a silver memory was on it. Placing it in the pensieve he put the memory in. A woman rose up in the memories her bangles glittering and she began to speak:

The Daughter of the Phoenix

Child of darkness

Daughter of the Chosen

Power be hers

The Son of the Moon

Free of thee age old curse

He Who Does Not Howl

Pack of One

Together United

Unite they shall

The Children of Death

The Children of Light

Free Forever More

The Sins of thy Fathers Forgiven

'Harry?' asked Dumbledore gently 'have you been feeling strange at all?' asked Dumbledore.

Harry froze fear written clearly on his face and a hand instinctively went to his stomach, 'strange?' he asked in a voice higher than usual.

'You're pregnant aren't you?' Dumbledore said gently, 'with Voldemort's child!'

'My child,' snarled Harry. 'And if you dare touch my unborn-'

'Relax Harry I am not going to try and kill your child everyone deserves a chance,' he said gently.

'Thanks,' Harry smiled slightly. 'Its just I can feel my daughter's warmth but others would see her only as the spawn of Voldemort.'

Dumbledore nodded, 'you said daughter?'

'I can feel her,' replied Harry.

'She's going to be powerful,' Dumbledore said. 'Just like her father,' he beamed.

Harry opened his mouth to protest.

'I didn't mean Voldemort,' Dumbledore said.

'Oh,' Harry blushed, 'but I'm not.'

'You really are,' Dumbledore said. 'But I think the child must be the Daughter of the Phoenix because she is the child of Voldemort and of you, the Chosen one. As for the next part I do not know.'

'Professor Snape thinks its something to do with werewolves,' said Harry.

'That would make sense,' agreed Dumbledore. 'Does Snape know about the child?' he questioned.

Harry nodded, 'I collapsed in his class. Anyone else know?'

'Luna worked it out,' admitted Harry.

'She always was a smart one,' Dumbledore smiled.

'Definitely a Ravenclaw,' agreed Harry.

'You should tell Miss Granger and Mr Weasley,' Dumbledore added.

'I know,' said Harry.

'And see Madam Pomfrey. In fact I think I'll get her up here right now,' said Dumbledore going to the fireplace.

'What about the last part?' Harry asked.

'I think it must be something to do with uniting the traditionally light families with those who are dark: the Malfoys versus the Potters,' Dumbledore said. He threw some Floo powder into the fireplace and called the Medi-Witch here.

'What is it this time?' asked Madam Pomfrey. Then spotting Harry, 'you again. What is it this time? Can't you stay out of danger at all?'

Harry looked nervous, 'I'm pregnant,' he said putting a hand to his stomach.

'Oh,' Madam Pomfrey looked at him. 'Headmaster you left him to stand up! Do you have any idea how dangerous that is! Sit, boy, now! How far along are you?'

'About two months,' Harry said nervously.

'And you only just realised?' she said sceptically. 'Two months ago that would be about the time…. Oh Potter is that why you didn't tell anyone?'

'I can feel the child – my daughter,' Harry whispered. 'She's not evil but I Voldemort's the father…. I don't want to loose her!'

Madam Pomfrey nodded, 'I'll keep your secret so apart from the headmaster who else knows?'

'Professor Snape,' Harry said. 'He's been giving me nutrient potions and anti-nausea potions but they're not really working.'

'No for some reason they don't work on male pregnancies I think it's the magic already used for creating the life counterbalances the magic in the potion,' Madam Pomfrey nodded.

'I should tell Snape,' Harry said.

'That's fine,' Madam Pomfrey said. 'But you should continue taking the nutrient potion and eating plenty and if you feel like eating what would usually never go together do it's the little person's way of letting you know what nutrient they need.'

'I know I've read up on it,' Harry admitted.

'Good,' Madam Pomfrey said. 'Now lets see; t-shirt up.'

After a few charms and prods with her wand she smiled.

'Everything's progressing smoothly,' Madam Pomfrey said. 'Just tell me if you need anything.'
