Heaven's Got A Plan For You
"It appears that some sort of spell is affecting Draco's pregnancy." Madame Pomfrey informed them.
"What do you mean? Is it harmful to him?" Harry asked alarmed.
"I do not know the answer to that question Mr. Potter. I still do not know what spell was cast on him. I will be doing some research and will inform you as soon as I have an answer. But you must keep this to yourselves until we do."
"What about the baby?" Draco spoke up at last.
"It seems to be doing well. You will be coming in for regular check-ups so do not worry, if the spell does something to the child, we will try to protect it as best as we can. Now, you are both dismissed."
Harry and Draco stood up and left her office without a word.
...
The wind blew through Draco's hair as he gazed up at the clouds. His mind was troubled and clouds were his only reprieve from reality. He felt a presence sit beside him on the bleachers of the Quidditch pitch. Draco and the figure sat in silence for a while. Draco bathed in the comfort the presence brought to him, glad that they had not broken the silence. After a few minutes, he broke the silence.
"What brings you here, Pansy?"
"I heard my dear friend was in need of me, so I came to the rescue."
"Very funny, Pansy."
"You have needed quite a bit of rescuing in your lifetime dear. Be glad your father's still in Azkaban."
"He's in the past Pansy."
Pansy said nothing and they remained in silence for another few minutes.
"It seems the she-weasel and Zabini have won." Draco said defeated.
Pansy waited for Draco to continue and pretended not to know what he was talking about.
"I know you've heard about her. Alas, it now seems that I'm pregnant. Zabini has been looking pleased as of late and has let me be. He must have found out somehow. Let's not forget that someone cast a spell of some sort that may endanger the baby."
"You're certain it's Zabini's then?" Pansy questioned.
"Well…no. Not 100%."
"Then it could be Potter's child."
"You know no one remembers what happened that night but yes that could be a possibility. A better one than the one I currently believe I'm facing."
"Have you spoken to Potter about this?"
"No. I haven't been able to face him as of late. All of this has been hard to deal with. I haven't spoken to him since we found out the news. He tried the first day but has given me my space since then. I feel terrible about myself and my predicament but what's worse is how this affects Harry. I know how he feels."
"How he feels?"
"Harry admitted he had some sort of feelings for me."
Pansy's head snapped to face Draco, a look of surprise gracing her face.
"And how do YOU feel Draco?"
"I'm not sure. I told him so when he admitted his feelings for me. I do care about him now, after all he's done for me. I'm very grateful, but you know how I wanted someone to love and love me in return. With the way things are going, Harry probably won't be around and I have no doubt that the small amount of feelings he has for me will fade as we go our separate ways. He can have anyone he wants."
Pansy said nothing. He gaze was long and hard as she studied Draco's face. Then a look of exasperation and annoyance took over.
"Someone to love!?" Draco nodded in response. Pansy sighed in frustration.
"Draco I can't believe what I'm hearing.! You're such a smart wizard but you can't even see what's right in front of you."
Draco frowned.
"You're looking for someone to love you. Well guess what, I know someone who does and he's made it very obvious. Someone who came knocking at my door, telling me that Draco needed his best friend. That same person who knows you needed your space right now but has been worried about you. He knows you need the support of your friends and made sure you had it. Said person also hasn't left you out of their sight the whole time you've been upset and avoiding him."
"What are you talking about Pansy?"
"Draco, I know you aren't daft. He's been right in front of you this whole time. I can't believe I'm saying this myself but it's so plain to see now. I never would have guessed Potter to feel this way about you Draco. But he's right here for you, even now."
Pansy stood up and walked down the bleachers to the edge and looked down searching.
"See, he's right there waiting at the bottom of the stairs."
Draco stood up and followed Pansy. He leaned over the side and saw a figure leaning up against the wall. It was still cold outside. How long had he been there?!
"If that's not love and devotion, then I'll never know it when I see it."
"Has he been there the whole time?" Pansy nodded. Draco sat back down stunned.
"You need to sort your feelings out and quickly so you both can come up with a plan."
With that, Pansy left. Draco stayed up in the bleachers for a while longer before he descended the stairs. When he got to the bottom Harry, of course, was nowhere in sight. He headed back to the castle and straight to his room. The whole time feeling like he was being watched, but in a good way. To test it, Draco waited in the common room. Sure enough, Harry walked in a few minutes later. He gave Draco a greeting before retreating to do his homework in the library. Draco felt butterflies. He watched Harry write his essay for a bit before he excused himself to bed.
Once in the bedroom, Draco stared at their rooms. He shook his head and changed into his pajamas. He climbed into bed after changing things up and lay there for a while feeling nervous. Soon enough he heard Harry enter their room and enter the bathroom to change. When he was done, he heard Harry's feet padding over to the bed and then stopping abruptly.
"…Draco?"
Draco did move feeling his nerves get the best of him and a blush begin to creep up onto his cheeks. He finally turned around and faced Harry. He had a stunned look on his face.
"What is this?"
Draco shrugged but didn't look him in the eye.
"What brought this on?" Harry said as he carefully sat at the bottom of the bed. His hand running across the empty space that was once the wall of pillows Draco had put up.
"I…" Draco couldn't find the words.
"Don't get me wrong. It's not that I mind. Exact opposite actually. Just…did Pansy make you do this?"
"No! I just…I thought about some things and realized I wasn't being fair to you."
"Draco…"
"No, let me finish. I wasn't being fair to you and relied on you for everything; to be there and protect me. I expected it and didn't dwell on any of the signs. I should have been more honest with myself and how I was feeling instead of ignoring it. You see Harry…the feelings you told me about at the ball…"
"Yes?" Harry asked warily.
"They aren't entirely unreciprocated…"
Harry looked stunned again. Draco almost laughed.
"I mean I don't know the degree of your feelings…but I have some for you as well. I just hid them under gratitude. I didn't want to give myself the chance and have I blown up in my face as things seem to be doing. As unlikely as it seemed…Please say something."
Draco was pink in the face. He started fidgeting with the blanket while he waited for Harry's response. When he looked back up Harry was closer to him.
"Did you mean everything you said? Honestly?"
"…Yes…"
Draco felt Harry's lips on his own right after he finished the word. He was startled, not having expected the sudden kiss. Harry pulled away and slid his fingers down Draco's cheek. Draco wasn't sure what to say so he ended up touching his own lips instead. He looked up to Harry's face. Harry was looking at him, watching his every movement.
"You don't know how happy that makes me Draco."
Draco smiled and lay back down. Harry cautiously climbed into bed next to him.
"You sure you're okay with no pillows here?" Draco nodded still facing Harry who was lying on his back. Harry smiled.
"Come here." Harry said as he slid his arm behind Draco's head. Draco moved over and cuddled into Harry; putting an arm across his chest.
"Good night Draco."
"Good night Harry."
...
Draco walked into the infirmary to see Madame Pomfrey for his check up.
"Well, look who the cat dragged in."
"Weasley."
She smirked as she moved her hand over her growing stomach.
"They're going to be a beautiful baby. Just like Harry."
"I can't wait to see your face when you find out some random bloke knocked you up, you slut."
"Just you wait Malfoy. Harry will be back with me and your title will return to its rightful owner. We'll be one big happy family, cause I know Harry wants a big family."
"Keep dreaming cause you won't be the one giving it to him."
She laughed and rubbed her stomach some more.
"Have you finally fallen for Harry, Malfoy? What a pity. Although, I don't blame you for falling for him. He is quite the catch. Too bad I'll be taking it from you."
Draco clenched his fists. He was going to reach for his wand when he felt an arm snake around his waist. He froze for a second before he smelt a familiar sent.
"Harry! Did you want to see the sonogram photo of our baby!?" Ginny asked excited.
"No, sorry. I'm here with Draco. See you around."
A look of angry crossed her face.
"Why go with him when I'm carrying your child? You're going to end up coming back to me."
"We'll see about that, Ginny."
With that Harry pulled Draco to their appointment. Draco wore a smug look on his face and leaned his head on Harry's shoulder as they walked.
...
A few days later…
Draco ran into the common room from the potions area.
"Harry! Harry! The potion will be ready tomorrow!"
"Draco, don't be running around! You know better you might fall! But that's great news! Only a few more hours and we'll get to the bottom of all of this."
"We'll have to take it with us to Madame Pomfrey so she can administer it to us as a witness that we haven't tampered with it."
Just then there was a tapping on their window. Harry looked to see an owl with a letter. He opened the window and let the owl in. He gave the bird a treat and it flew off.
"Who is it from Harry?"
"Madame Pomfrey. She wants us to meet her in her office right now. It's like she knew we were talking about her."
They packed up the potion and cast a spell so it wouldn't move out of place in the box they put it in. Then they hurried to the hospital wing. Once inside the safety of her office, they handed her the package.
"What is this?" She asked perplexed.
"It's the potion that will help us get our memories back."
"You boys made this?"
"Yes. It should be ready tomorrow for you to give us."
"Very well. You boys seems to be on the track of something bigger."
"What is going on Madame Pomfrey?"
"I'm afraid I have some strange good news."
"Strange news? Like the Weaslette actually getting knocked up by a monkey?"
"Mr. Malfoy! I mean Potter!" Draco just shrugged. Harry nudged him and looked back to Madame Pomfrey expectantly.
"As I was saying, the news is actually about you, Draco, and your pregnancy."
Draco's nonchalance was replaced with alarm. He reached his hand for Harry's.
"Don't look so distressed. It seems you are not actually pregnant."
"What?!"
"How?!"
"Calm yourselves. The spell that was cast on Draco was actually a spell that gives the person it hits all the symptoms and feelings of the pregnancy the castor has. Whoever cast it on Draco is actually the one who is pregnant. The spell isn't a very common one in this day and age. That's why it even fooled me."
"So I'm not pregnant?"
"No."
Draco and Harry sat there shocked.
"But why would someone cast that spell on Draco?" Harry asked.
"Someone who wanted it to seem like Draco was indeed pregnant. That same person also doesn't want anyone to know they are pregnant."
Harry frowned. Who was in that position? The only person he knew who wanted Draco was Zabini but Zabini wouldn't be pregnant. What was going on?
"I expect you two to keep this hidden until that potion of yours is finished and you've both drunken it."
"Yes ma'am." They said in unison.
They both sighed. All that pain and confusion for such wonderful news. Tomorrow couldn't come sooner.
A/N: I hope you all liked this chapter. Again I'm looking for someone to make a picture for the story. PM if you are up for it XD.
