The next morning Harry came down to find Draco sat at the kitchen table. Harry sat down across from him and poured some coffee.
"So we going to talk about what happened with Snape?" Harry asked carefully. He was already asleep when Draco had come home and he didn't really think it would be good to broach the subject at 5am. By now Draco should have had enough time to collect his thoughts and also Harry had had time to think the situation over. Draco shrugged in Harry's directions. "Well what did he say?"
"Oh you know the usual I have thirteen weeks to conceive an heir or I die!" Draco rolled his eyes.
"And this child has to be with me?" Harry asked.
"Absolutely or else it would be branded a bastard therefore not an heir. There's also the fidelity clause in our bond that would be impossible to get round." Draco looked over to Harry. "Uncle Sev sends his apologies"
"You can tell them there not accepted" Harry told Draco stubbornly crossing his arms across his chest.
"I know how much Sev hurt you; you cared a lot for Ginny." Draco poured then some more coffee.
"The curse should have hit me not her" Harry's anger boiled and Draco looked away.
"It wasn't your time" He told him.
"This isn't your time Draco. We have to do this we will have this baby. It can't be that bad can it I mean we've done it before." Draco shook his head and muttered something under his breathe about how nothing could ever be simple.
"Look I'm going to have to go. Can we talk about this later?" Draco stood up barely waiting for Harry's nod before apparating away.
...
It had been a hard week for both Harry and Draco. Harry felt sorry for Draco the other people on his programme where probably starting to wonder if there was something wrong with him. Every chance he got Draco apparated home looking pale and pasty he usually didn't return until he had too. Luckily for Draco he hadn't fainted though the same luck had not blessed Harry. During a visit to the Medi Wizard training centre in St Mungos yesterday he had fainted while asking directions back to the floo. Unfortunately due to him being Harry Potter he woke up in a private room surrounded by specialists from every area and being told not to worry his Husband was on his way. He had apologised on numerous occasions to Draco for him having to leave his lessons earlier to rescue Harry from the over zealous Medi Wizards. Surprisingly Draco didn't seem to upset and Harry was sure he saw a relieved looked on Draco's face when he saw that Harry was sat up and awake.
Thank god it was Friday Harry thought as he made his way downstairs. Draco was already sat at the table with a cup of coffee per usual. Harry retrieved his own cup from the cupboard and sat down at the table though before his hand touched the coffee pot Draco pulled it out of reach.
"Have you got something to tell me?" Draco's voice had a strange tone to it which Harry hadn't heard before.
"No I don't think so." He frowned at Draco and tried to reach for the coffee pot again but Draco just moved it further out of reach.
"Wrong answer." Draco said slowly and through the Daily Prophet across the table. Harry could clearly see a picture of him and Draco which ha obviously been taken the day they had gone shopping for Draco's supplies. The picture was charmed and Harry watched as the mini version of himself smiled and said something which got a smile from Draco. Underneath the picture was the headline 'Wizarding Saviours to Have Baby'.
"What the Fuck!" Cried and Harry looking back up at Draco.
"You where spotted at St Mungos picking up surrogacy pamphlets." Draco took the paper back from Harry.
"Oh" Was Harry's only response.
"Oh? Is that all you have to say? Oh? Jesus Harry you know what its like! The press practically stalk us of course you where going to be seen!" Draco shook his head.
"I was just curious"
"You were just being stupid more like."
"I didn't do it on purpose I didn't want everyone to know yet. I just wanted to understand Draco. You've barely said two words about it but it's been nearly a week now we have to start the process soon!" Harry accioed the leaflets and pushed then towards Draco. "You should take a look too."
"I don't need to I understand I already know. I just need to time for all this to sink in and I thought you would need time as well. I got it wrong we should have talked about this earlier. No the press are going to be pestering us none stop. Every Wizarding publication this side of the Atlantic are going to want interviews. Witch Weekly are going to have a field day not to mention that gay Wizarding magazine Wizz that we seem to be in all the time."
"You've been reading a gay Wizarding magazine?" Harry asked with a raised eyebrow Draco just rolled his eyes.
"Remember that lawyer we employ?" Harry nodded. "How else do you think he earns his money? He spends all day making sure people aren't writing inappropriate things about us. He sends me a report once a month with cuttings and pictures. Wizards Wizz have had two formal warnings, once for publishing a picture of us holding hands which had obviously been charmed to do, and then for writing a piece called Harry and Draco's favourite positions." Harry scoffed after hearing that last one.
"So were like Gay icons?"
"I don't want to think about it." Draco shook his head. At that moment the floo lit up and Hermione came through into the kitchen followed by Ron who was holding Amy.
"Were not interrupting are we?" Harry shook his head and smiled at his friends.
"No I just learnt something quite disturbing is all. I suppose you have seen this morning's prophet?"
"No we haven't actually. We came round because Ron has something to say." Hermione turned to Ron. "Don't you Ronald?"
