Severus tore his paper up in disgust as he looked at the smiling face' of Harry Potter and his now Husband Benjamin Johnston, to say he was angry would be an understatement, he was livid, livid that Potter had managed to worm his way around the custody lawsuit, and even more angry at the smiling faces the simple fact he was so damned happy drove Severus insane, why should saint Potter be so happily married when he wasn't.
Severus and Draco' marriage seemed to be rapidly falling down the drain, for all they did was argue, at first they could just get over whatever disagreement they had with sex, but now that Draco' due date was just around the corner they could no longer be intimate with one another, so they fought constantly without any way to relieve the tensions between them.
''Sev I hadn't read that yet'', Draco called over sulkily
''Reparo'', he snapped accidently causing the paper to ignite, ''dammit'', he cursed I frustration.
Sighing in resignation Draco went back to his book rolling his eyes in the process.
''WHAT'', Severus snarled at him
''Nothing'', Draco muttered not taking his eyes away from his book, which seemed to infuriate the man further.
''Well clearly there is something wrong, spit it out, what the problem care to share it with the class'', he spat at his lover.
shutting his book with a snap then placing it on the coffee table he looked at Severus before starting on him, ''alright you want to know what my problem is? It's you everything seems to be about getting Harry back or how to split him and that Ben up. I'm sick of it, when...when the last time you actually thought about me? What I want or what I need?'', Draco cried
''Well tell me Draco, tell me what it is you want, enlighten me'', Severus sarcastically bit out
''I want my husband back, I want the man I fell in love with back'', Draco told the man tearfully
Severus moved swiftly as he trapped Draco between his arms and the chair he was sitting in, he brought his head close to Draco, who was now slightly scared about his husbands behavior.
''Let me tell you this now, and you had better listen carefully because life' not fair we can't always have what we want'', he spat at Draco, who was sobbing lightly
''What happened to the man I fell in love with?'', Draco asked
Severus slapped Draco across the face with a loud crack causing the blond to cry out loud, ''don't make me gag, love'', he sneered, ''love is nothing more than a fairytale, love is a worthless man's dream, you'll waste your life away with love, pity you were a great shag'', he added spitefully before sweeping out the room, slamming the door shut behind him.
Draco was left sobbing in the chair he was in, wishing with every fiber in his body he could find the love and happiness he so craved, the same kind of love that Harry had found in Ben, Draco had moved passed Harry now, knowing fine well he won't come back to him and Severus, but he couldn't understand Severus' obsession with Harry, if Draco was quiet honest with himself he was scared of what Severus had become, he had become aggressive and extremely jealous and paranoid and also he was becoming violent, how Draco regretted the things he and Severus did to Harry now, now that the tables had turned he knew the feeling of despair that Harry must have went through and how he wished the pain would go away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~''Potter Orchid''~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
''Ben...Ben...'', Harry moaned, ''oh god Ben...please...I'm...I'm...gun...gunna...ahhhh oh god Ben'', Harry cried out as Ben thrust into him before coming himself with a cry of ''Harry''.
Be stilled ad lay down beside his pregnant husband panting for air, ''I love you'', he whispered breathlessly to Harry.
''I...Love you... ...too'', Harry gasped out
Kissing his husband soundly on the lips he pulled him closer to himself and held him closely and protectively.
''I can't believe we're married'', Harry grinned when he finally caught his breath back
''I know it's so surreal, I mean 6 months ago if anyone had told me I'd be married to Harry Potter I would have them committed to StMungos but here we are'', he whispered gently nuzzling Harry' neck
''Only four more months till we have our own family'', Harry told Ben with the widest grin on his face.
''Four more months till I become a father'', Ben beamed
''You're going to make a brilliant father, I know it'', Harry told Ben
''So will you, we're in this together till the very end my love'', Ben whispered lovingly
''I wish I could see Snape' face though when he reads the paper this morning'', Harry laughed at the mental image, a prudent scowl and cursing Harry as many things that he could think of.
''Why not Draco?'', Ben asked curiously
''because he is a proper pureblood, he knows the sacred magic that comes along with marriage, especially when both parties love one another as deeply as we do'', Harry blushed as he told Ben
''so he won't be trying to come between us?'', Ben asked, (as he was only half blood and his parents never really got the pureblood ways so therefore Ben and his sister didn't know the ways either).
''No, he knows and respects that we cannot be broken up now, though I doubt he'll like it much, but he will leave us alone but...'', Harry trailed off
''Severus wont will he?'', Ben asked slightly worried at the length his old professor would go to, to ensure he either got Harry back or made his life as miserable as possible.
''I doubt he will, he's not like Draco, he is a half blood like us ad either doesn't understand the sacred meaning behind marriage and bonding or he simply ignores it'', Harry sighed.
''but how far is he willing to actually go to either get what he wants or try ruining something out of pure spite?'', Ben asked to no one in particular
''I wish I knew Ben I wish I knew'', Harry sighed before falling asleep in his loves arms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~''Hogwarts''~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remus Lupin was walking around the corridors of Hogwarts, it was his turn to do the night rounds so he wandered around peeping into broom closets and classrooms occasionally, then he heard sobbing from a few corridors away with his heightened hearing, frowning he made his way towards the source and came to an abandoned class room on the third floor, peering inside he got the shock of his life as there in the corner with white blond hair was Draco Malfoy, sobbing his heart out all alone, 'where was Severus' he thought before walking in the room and clearing his throat to catch the man's attention.
''What do you want werewolf'', he sneered half heartedly, though the fact he was crying had ruined his cold look.
''To see who was crying'', Remus replied evenly without any trace of being hurt.
''Well it's me now go away'', Draco spat as he glared at the man, who stood by the door expressionless
''No I won't go away, what's bothering you?'', Remus asked in a somewhat warm voice (he was still pissed at him and Severus).
''And why should I do that'', he asked as he wiped his eyes
''because you look like you need to get whatever is on your chest off, and please spare me the whole, I'm not talking to a werewolf or it is one of your concern, you know fine well I won't tell anybody unless you wished me too and please hurry I am supposed to be on rounds'', Remus told him calmly
Draco just stared at the man, how did he know the protests he had ready and why was he actually bothering to try and help him, ''why?'', he asked
''Why what?'', Remus asked confused
''Why are you trying to help me?'', Draco asked
''Because nobody especially someone who is pregnant should be left to cry alone'', Remus stated
''It's Sev'', Draco finally said after a while
''What's he done?'', Remus asked frowning, concerned about what his nemesis has been plotting behind closed doors.
Draco began to explain about what the snarky slytherin had been like, from plotting ways to get to Harry or planning how to punish him, ''he never used to be like this'', Draco sighed,'' he used to be so caring and loving, but since Harry left...'', he trailed of sadly
''Since Harry left your relationship started to crumble'', Remus finished for him with a nod
''yes then we rushed into marriage after father made a fuss about the kid being a bastard, I doubt Sev really wanted to settle but when we were with Harry he was always calm and collected not the person he is now'', Draco sighed
''well I'm not going to try and get Harry to reconsider the pair of you, No'', he stated firmly seeing Draco about to protest, ''he is happy, if you really cared about him you'd leave him be, but my advice would be that it is possibly time to move on'', Remus stated
''but I can't, the baby, I can't raise a child on my own, and what about me? What am I to do IV been with him for so long, I...I...I don't think I can move on away from him'', Draco panicked
''Draco it isn't uncommon for a single parent now, and you won't be alone, you'll have all the Hogwarts staff as well as your friends and family'', Remus smiled
''but what about Sev? I still love him even if we're in a rough patch I still do, I mean what's that saying...every love is worth fighting for right? Draco asked desperately
''Draco I don't want to say it but...I doubt it, I think Severus is only going to get worse and I think it's best to break away now before he breaks you, Draco he will hurt you both physically and emotionally and you need to get out, get out now before it's too late, think of your child and what's best for him.'' Remus finished
''I don't know what to say'', Draco spoke
''you don't need to say anything, think about it for now.'' Remus told him
''Remus'', Draco asked too calmly
''yes?'', he replied frowning at the sudden change in the young Malfoy
''my water just broke'', he gasped out in shock
Remus turned around sharply, ''what'', he asked shocked only to see the puddle of liquid by the blonds feet,'' alright Draco we're going to have to be calm, do you think you would be able to walk to the infirmary?'', Remus asked trying to stay calm.
''yeah, yeah I think so'', he stated as he moved towards Remus, ''will you give me a hand please?'', he asked as his face scrunched up slightly
''sure,'' he said as he offered an arm to guide the blond to the hospital wing.
After a very slow walk and a lot of howling from Draco the two made it to the infirmary, ''Poppy?'', Remus called out, no answer, ''Poppy'', he tried again as he settled Draco onto a bed.
''I'm just going to see where she is alright?'', he asked Draco and at his nod strode off towards her office, to find it empty with a note sticking on her desk.
To whomever reads this?
I have currently been summoned away due to an emergency concerning a relative of mine; I shall be back at 7am tomorrow morning. Poppy Pomfrey
''shit'', Remus cursed as he heard Draco groan in pain, running over to the blond, now completely unsure of what to do broke the news the school matron was unavailable.
''unavailable, don't give me that shit, just bring someone, anyone I don't give a fuck just GET THIS KID OUT OF ME'', he screamed
Sighing he went over to the floo, it was his last option but what choice did he have, taking a pinch of powder and dropping it he yelled, ''Potter Orchid'', and disappeared in green flames.
''Ben'', he called out into the dark house, ''Ben'', he called again making his way deeper into the house.
''who's there'', came the groggy voice of Ben, who stood at the top of the stairs, making his way down.
''Ben'', Remus sighed in relief, ''I need your help, Draco has gone into labor and Poppy is unavailable, I wouldn't ask but he needs someone and you're the only one I know who can either assist with the birth or get someone else too'', he explained
''Ben'', came Harry' voice
'', I'm down here love'', he answered back, ''aright Remus I'll help, but Harry will have to come, may he stay with you in your quarters?'', he asked
''its fine, its fine, Harry'', Remus called up the stairs waiting for the black haired man to appear, after a few moments Harry appeared very tousle haired and blinking groggily at the two men.
''what is it?'', he asked sleepily
''Harry Draco has gone into labor, I'm going to have to help, No Harry I took an oath to help all in need and I won't go back on it, not when their lives is at risk'', he stated before Harry could protest, ''you're going to stay with Remus tonight love, then I promise later we'll spend all the time you want snuggled up'', he gently told his love as he kissed him on the lips, ''I'll see you later love''.
With that he whipped round and darted through the floo, Remus steered Harry over to the fireplace and called out the infirmary, they both appeared to quite the scene, Ben quickly moving his want in complicated movements as Draco cried out through his contraction, ''where's Severus?'', Harry asked
''shit, I forgot to send a patronus to him'', Remus cursed to himself before sending his wolf patroni to go fetch Severus, he then guided Harry swiftly out of the hospital wing and as far away from the two Slytherins as possible, he knew Draco wouldn't try anything, but Severus was as unpredictable as the weather.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~''Infirmary''~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
''Alright Mr. Malfoy you're going to have to calm down, you're only 4 centimeters dilated, Mr. Malfoy please, I need you to calm down or else I won't be able to give you any pain reliever'', Ben stated firmly.
As Draco calmed down the infirmary doors burst open, as Severus came stalking in, ''what the devil do you think you're doing here?'', he demanded of Ben
''Madame Pomfrey was unavailable and since I am qualified to do this I was called in'', Ben told Severus without even looking at him, focused on Draco' levels.
''you're not welcome here, we don't want you delivering our child not get OUT'', he yelled with spit flying all over.
''for fuck sake Severus shut up'', Draco cried out panting with his contractions.
''what did you just say'', he asked deathly calm like
''I said shut up, just GET THIS BABY OUT OF ME'', he cried
''I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few hours Mr. Malfoy, the pain reliever should take effect soon'', Ben stated calmly.
''what do you mean a few hours, aren't we just cutting the thing out'', Severus demanded
''Madame Pomfrey is not equipped for that kind of procedure, I'm afraid you're going to have to give birth naturally'', Ben sighed out knowing this would be a long night.
''oh and what about golden boy? Wouldn't he miss his puppy'', Severus snarled at Ben
''Harry is fine and quite frankly isn't any of your concern', Ben stated calmly
Grumbling, Severus sat down next to Draco, scowling at the young Healer.
After 5 long hours, of continual moaning and waspish insults, it was time for Draco to push.
''Come on Draco push'', Ben encouraged, as Draco pushed with all his might
''I can't'', he cried breathlessly
''Yes you can, now come on push, that's it, I see the head'', Ben praised as Draco began pushing his baby out
''Arghhh, owww owww, it hurts'', Draco screamed
''Don't be stupid, just push it out all ready,'' Severus sneered by Draco' head board
''come on, there's the shoulder, the hardest part is over come on, one more push'', Ben encouraged as the baby slid out, ''congratulations its a boy'', Be smiled as he cleaned the child magically then wrapped him up in a soft blue blanket before handing him over to Draco.
''He's perfect'', he gushed
''He looks like you'', Severus remarked, ''except the nose'', he added coldly
''What's wrong with his nose?'', Draco asked quietly, unable to take his eyes away from his child.
''I was simple remarking his nose isn't yours and either is it mine'', he added calmly
''What are you going to call him?'', Ben asked kindly
''Scorpius'', Draco whispered still staring at his child
Scorpius suddenly opened his eyes, causing everyone to gasp in shock at the startling Emerald Green eyes that were staring up at them all.
Severus was beyond livid, he was turning paler by the minute with rage, he was unable to speak through the anger boiling through his veins.
''And what the fuck is that'', he asked, his voice quivering with anger as he pointed towards the baby.
''Harry' eyes'', Ben mumbled shocked at the revelation
''I...I dont know Sev'', Draco whispered fearfully as his eyes started to fill with tears.
''Give it here'', He demanded calmly
''No'', Draco told the man weakly, not liking the look in the man's eyes at all, exhausted from labor or not Draco would fight tooth and nail for his child.
''Now Draco'', Severus demanded, snapping his fingers
''No'', he repeated in a stronger voice, as he noticed Ben stepping closer towards him.
''What is it you want to do Severus?'', Ben asked calmly
''I want to dispose of that THING'', he bellowed
''NO'', Draco screamed, startling Scorpius
''ITS EITHER ME OR THST THING MALFOY TAKE YOUR PICK'', Severus roared
''Scorpius'', Draco said simply
''Excuse me'', Severus demanded unbelievingly
'' I said I choose Scorpius'', he repeated as if Severus was a child
''You'd choose HIS son, HIS SON OVER ME'', Severus demanded causing the child to cry in fright, Severus raised his wad to the child, Draco who didn't have his wand cried out in fear for his child.
''Expelliarmus'', Ben shouted, disarming Severus before he could do anything, ''leave now'', he growled
''fine'', he spat, ''I'll send the divorce documents to you by tomorrow, I expect them signed, you know it is a pity, Harry was a great whore, I was deeply disappointed to lose such a great fuck'', he stated amused by the outraged and furious look on Be' face and the hurt and wary look on Draco', 'however I doubt I would find such a discomfort in you Draco, you were more of a second rated, cheap tart, to satisfy ones needs'', he sneered before turning on his heel and storming towards the door, but stopped as Harry and Remus walked in, laughing at some joke or another.
''Why if it isn't my favorite whore'', Severus yelled cheerfully
''How dare you'', Remus started
''Why yes I do dare'', he smiled venomously as he came closer to Harry, 'such a pity you chose Johnston over there, you need a real man to satisfy you'', he told Harry gently caressing his face much to the horror of all those around
''Get your hand of me'', Harry snarled swatting away his hand, only for it to be caught.
''Mark my words Potter, you will be mine'', he told the man icily before kissing him full on the mouth.
WHAM, CRACK, THUD
Harry slapped Severus as Remus punched him in the gut as Ben shoved him roughly away from his husband
''Gentlemen'', Albus' voice broke over them all, ''what is going on'', he asked taking in the scene around him, Harry panting in Ben' arms, Remus growling at Severus and Draco on his bed cradling his newborn with tears sliding down his face and Severus, Severus startled the older man, he was looking apoplectic with rage staring at Harry with a feral look of lust written all over his face.
'' Severus, Ben, Remus can you please come outside and explain what is going on?'', he asked the three men, two of which nodded and went out into the hall with the old wizard and the Slytherin.
''Are you alright Harry?'', Draco asked quietly after a few tense moments
''Yeah, yeah I'm fine, what...what about you?'', Harry asked hesitantly, still shaking with fright from moments ago.
''A little tired, but I'm fine'', he answered sadly
''Draco I can see it in your eyes you're not, what happened?'', Harry asked frowning.
''We've been fighting a lot lately and well after Scorpius here was born he...he left me'', Draco told the man queitly
''What why'', Harry gasped
''Look at Scorpius'', is all Draco replied
confused Harry walked closer and looked at the small child, ''he's the double of you'', he remarked, then let out a gasp as Scorpius looked up to Harry, Emerald eyes met Emerald
''Dra...Draco?'', Harry gasped
''yes I believe he is yours too Harry'', Draco stated softly, ''but Harry I won't pressure you to be there, you can go on and live your life, just please, please I beg you don't take my child away from me'', Draco started to sob
''I...I dont know what to say Draco, I mean, we can never be together again, I'm with Ben and I love him Draco, but I cant live kowing I have another child out there but never knew him'', Harry told the blond in a daze
''Harry...Harry please...please don't take him away, he's all I have left please'', Draco begged
''I won't take him away Draco, but I do want to be in his life, look we'll work this out later, you look knackered and could do with sleep, dont stress about the whole situation, oh and Draco?'', Harry asked after telling the blond to rest.
''Yeah'', he replied softly taking his eyes away from his child, who lay sleeping in his arms
''What is his full name?'', Harry asked
''Scorpius Harry Malfoy'', the blond replied
''Thank you, for not shutting me out'', Harry murmured
''no Harry, it should be me thanking you, for not taking my baby away, and Harry I really am sorry for what happened between us, I really do wish you all the best with Ben'', Draco smiled gratefully at Harry.
''Don't be as much as it hurt, in the end it worked out for the best right?'', Harry told the blond brightly.
''yeah'', the blond sighed tearfully, ''I...I... I don't know how I'm going to cope without him though'', Draco sobbed
''It'll be alright Draco'', Harry soothed as he awkwardly patted Draco' shoulder
''how do you know? How do you know if everything's going to be ok'', Draco demanded
''because I've been there, when we broke up I thought I would die through the pain, it never ceased and I was always reminded of what happened'', Harry gently told Draco as the blond winced with regret
''and you know what happened? I met Ben and moved on, after a while the pain lessens and with help it goes away faster and in time it will be nothing more than a memory, as your new life jumps into place'', Harry told him smiling
''do you think I might find happiness like what you have someday?'', Draco asked
''everyone deserves love Draco and yes I do believe you will find someone, someone who loves you for you and treat you as how you should be'', Harry smiled at the glowing look on Draco' face.
''Harry'', Ben called from the doorway, making his way towards the pair, ''how are you Draco, is everything alright?'', Ben asked quickly scanning both Draco and Scorpius.
''yes I'm fine'', he replied softly
''no you're not, but it time you will be'', Ben told him
''thank you for your illuminating optimism'', Draco chuckled, ''but you two should go home and get some rest'', he told the pair
''alright but I'm going to call your mother first, so she can pick you up, it won't be wise going anywhere alone and with Severus' state of mind I would avoid him at all costs'', Ben warned as he walked over to the fireplace to call Mrs. Malfoy.
''We'll discuss all the visiting and other stuff later ok?'', Harry asked
''sure'', Draco smiled as he saw his mother and father come bustling over to him.
''oh my brave Dragon, he's beautiful'', his mother simpered
''you've done well Draco I'm proud of you'', his father told him proudly
''Dragon, where is Severus?'', she asked frowning as she noticed he wasn't here
Draco, Harry and Ben explained what had happened much to the chagrin of Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy, both shocked at finding out Harry was Scorpius' father and how Severus had left Draco.
''that bastard'', Lucius growled
''How dare he call you those awful names, as if we Malfoys would stoop that low'', she exclaimed
''Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy, if I may suggest we discuss this later, Draco has been through a stressful day and will be drained physically and emotionally, so he will need rest, so please could you take him home with you and further in the week me and Harry will be along to discuss future arrangements'', Ben asked
''yes your quite right, come along Draco, I'll have the house elves prepare you a nursery suite'', Narcissa told her son.
''bye Draco'', Harry said waving to the tired man, he felt strong arms wrap around his large stomach and gently lips pressing on his throat as the Blond family disappeared into the green flames.
''whatever happens Harry I will always be at your side my love'', Ben whispered in Harry' ear
''and I'd always want you there too Ben'', Harry whispered back, nuzzling into his neck.
''come one love let's get you home, I do believe I promised we could stay in bed and snuggle for as long as you wish'', Ben smirked at the hungry look that appeared on Harry' face
''Then let's go Romeo, sweep me off my feet and take me to the stars'', Harry giggled as they slowly backed up to the fireplace, with a quick yell of Potter Orchid and the two were blissfully making love to one another, both unaware of the twisted plan's that were been formed at the same time, for Severus Snape had been fired by Albus and told to leave Hogwarts, Severus Snape was not happy and he would get his revenge, one way or another he would, Harry would either be his or nobody could have him.
