Chapter 24
At Marvolo Manor an owl came flying through the window and landed in front of the dark lord's desk. He was busy writing a letter to the Veelas to make them send even more people to them, they needed a new nurse. Looking up from the paper and taking the feather from the owl who flew with a speed that impressed even the dark lord, he understood that something had happened to Harry. Cursing he left his study and walked in to Severus Snape who was very busy making the potion which was going to save the consort of the heir.
«Here is the feather, but I think something is up with Harry» the dark lord said. Severus nodded.
«Maybe you should go and check on him, the idiot travelled without his wand»
The dark lord nodded. «I am»
Voldemort stood in Dumbledore's office with Harry and was about to panic. The old bastard had called for the aurors and they were coming. He could feel them around everywhere. How could it be so many aurors, it must have been around 500.
«I just called the American, French and German aurors aswell, I know that they are just as happy as me to get rid of you» Dumbledore said.
Not showing anything.
«You know Dumbledore, even if I and Harry are caught, there still will be people who are going to fight our fight»
«Anything else would have surprised me, but you two are the strongest on your side, I am sure it will be no problem for me to kill the rest»
Voldemort just sneered at him, could not make himself do anything else.
«Here is your wand Harry, which you so cleverly forgot at home» he said and gave the wand to Harry who just stood there.
«Come on Harry, we need to run» Voldemort opened the door and they both ran out.
«Should we stop them?» McGonagall asked.
«No, there is 500 aurors around here, they will get them» Dumbledore said and smiled to himself. Finally his enemy was going to get caught.
Voldemort and Harry ran through the dark halls of Hogwarts, searching for a way out.
«Do you know a way out from here? I am sure the aurors have covered all the entrances» Tom said and gasped for air when they stopped down in a hallway. «I am too old for this»
Had it been in a other scenario, Harry would have laughed at the easily out of breath dark lord, but he could not make himself see the hilarity in this situation.
«No, the way out to the shrieking shack is closed, Dumbledore closed it in the summer to 6th year, really annoying»
«Fuckings bastard, no wonder he let us out of the office»
«We need somewhere to hide» Harry said.
«You are joking right?» Voldemort said sarcasticaly. «How could you be so stupid as to go without your wand?»
«I was worried about Draco, I couldn't let him die»
«There is no wonder why you were sorted into Griffindor»
«If I did not know any better, I would have believed neither of you two to be cunning and careful Slytherins» A voice from further down the hall said.
Both the dark lord and his heir turned around and saw two brownhaired girls looking at them. Both had their hair standing out everywhere and had that just-got-shagged-look.
«Hermoine, Pansy, good to see you two» Harry smiled.
«Well, yes, it could have been anyone the way you two quarreled» Pansy said raising a eyebrow.
«Show some respect Parkinson and help us» Voldemort said, he got angry the way the daughter of Parkinson talked to him. Even if she was a friend of Harry and had permission to call him Harry, she was to remember her place to him.
«I am sorry milord, ofcourse we will help you» Pansy said when she understood what she had done wrong. Hermoine just smiled and took her hand.
«How many aurors are there?»
«500» Voldemort said
«Oh»
«Oh? Is that all?»
«It is a bit problematic»
«A BIT PROBLEMATIC?»
«Hush, someone is coming» They ran further down the hallway.
«We will take you too Ron's room» Hermoine said.
«He has his own room?» Harry asked.
«Yes, since he is a member of the order, he is allowed to have his own room»
Hermoine knocked several times on Ron's door.
«Ron, wake up» she almost screamed and a tired and grumpy redhead opened the door.
«What?» he said when all four of them ran in to his room.
«We need to hide» Harry said.
«Harry? What are you doing here?»
«I needed a feather from Fawkes and I came here, and I kinda forgot my wand»
«You forgot your wand? What in the name of Merlin made you forget your wand?»
Harry sighed and told all three of them what he did in the castle and what had happened with Draco.
«I think I can get you out through the fireplace» Ron said. «I just hope that Dumbledore does not guard it»
«I am sure he does» Voldemort said. «He guards every entrance so that he can know when we leave»
«Bind us, milord, beat us and petrify us, then it will look like we tried to stop you» Pansy said.
Voldemort nodded and shot expelliarmus at Pansy who flew into the wall and passed out.
He shot petrify totalus on Hermoine who made a squeek before she hit the floor.
«Where is the floopowder Ron?»Harry asked. Ron pointed at a cup on a table beside the fireplace.
«Thanks, Mr. Weasley, you will be greatly rewarded» Voldemort said and fired a crucio at him and levitated him to the ceiling.
«bastard, why did you do that for?» Harry asked. Ron was still concions but was a bit disoriantated.
«I needed to get a bit of tention out» Voldemort said and grinned.
«Sorry Ron» Harry said a bit sympatically and stepped into the fireplace and they flew to the dark lord's mansion.
They stepped out of the fireplace and was meet by a worried Lily Potter and Severus Snape.
«There you are. It is all over the news. They said they had captured both of you» Lily said and took Harry into a hug. It was not often that she showed motherly concern or love, but when she did, she really meant it.
«We are fine, we had some problems, but we are fine now» Voldemort said.
«Draco is about to wake up Potter» Severus said to Harry. «He is up in his room with Lucius and Narcissa and your baby.» Harry nodded and ran from the room.
«Kids» Voldemort said.
«Yes, how does it feel to be a great grandfather?» Lily laughed at the grimace the dark lord made.
Harry came into the room and saw Narcissa sat on Draco's side with their baby in her arms. Lucius sat in a corner in total silence. Just watching his son sleeping. Harry looked at Draco. The hermaphrodite had gotten his skin colour back. Even though he was pale, he looked alive now and you could see his chest raise up and down.
«He is about to wake up» Narcissa said and stood up from the bed.
«Here is your son» she said and handed him the boy.
«I am sorry I just left him, but I needed to find the feather» Harry said to Narcissa.
«You have nothing to apologize for, Draco is about to wake up and the boy has been fed» Harry smiled and sat down on the bed. Beside Draco who was still sleeping.
«Harry?» the word was just a whisper from the injured boy.
«I am here Draco» Harry said and took one of Draco's hands. The blond boy tried to pull himself up but had not the strenght to manage that.
«Lie down Draco, you are still very weak» Narcissa said.
«Mum?»
«I'm here, your father and I, but I think you two need some time alone»
Draco nodded to this and Lucius and Narcissa left the room.
«Our son is here» Harry said to Draco. Draco looked up at him.
«I did give birth, it was not something I dreamt»
«No, it was not» Harry said and laid the sleeping baby beside Draco. Tears welled up in Draco's eyes.
«He is beautiful» he said and brushed his hand over the baby's forhead.
«Yes, he is, do you have a name for him?» Harry asked.
«No, we never tried to find a name for him, or his gender» Draco frowned. «Why did we never do that?»
«I don't know, but do you have any options?»
«What about Leo Minor?» Draco asked.
«The little lion? Can you see a future dark lord be named little lion?»
«Ofcourse I can, it is sweet» Draco said smiling. «Beside he will be a good leader, at that time he will reign the war will be over»
Harry nodded. «Yes fine, Leo Minor it is, but you will take the wrath from Tom»
«Oh no, Tom won't hurt me, not after last time you threatened to kill him if he did anything to me.» Draco grinned and tried to kill a yawn.
«Tired?» Harry asked and brushed his hand over Draco's cheek.
Draco nodded.
«Sleep, I will take care of Leo and be here the next time you wake up»
Once the blond one had fallen asleep Harry took Leo up from his mother's side and carried him to the dark lord's study. Why had Draco called the baby such a name? He liked it, but the baby would be a leader, not something small. Shaking his head he knocked on the door.
When he heard the call to enter he stepped inside. Lucius and Narcissa was in the office and Harry's eyebrow raised at what they were doing. Everytime he had gone into the study the dark lord had done a lot of paperwork or written something or doing something evil-lord-ish.
The three adult sat around a table and played a game. Not chess or poker or something that could be qualified as «evil» or «grown up» but snap, exploding snap.
Once Narcissa saw the baby laying in Harry's arm she was up and took the bundle from him and started cooing the baby.
«Have you comed up with a name yet?» Tom asked.
«Er, yes, Draco wanted to call him Leo Minor?» Harry said hestantly.
«Not another star name? What is it with purebloods and stars?» Voldemort sighed.
«You don't mind?» Harry asked raising a eyebrow.
«What? No. It is just that we have a Bellatrix, a Sirius, a Draco, a Regulus, a Androma and now Leo Minor.» Voldemort sighed. «It is a nice name»
The dark haired boy nodded at this and nodded to the table with the cards.
«What is up with the exploding snap?»
A few days later was Draco much better, he could now sit up in the bed and didn't need to sleep all the time. In Harry's opinion, he was a nightmare. Laying in the bed he was bitching and moaning and bossing everyone around, the dark lord's heir really wanted to strangle his spouse.
«Harry pick up that towel.» the blond said when Harry had thrown his towel on the floor after a long shower.
«The house el...» he began.
«No, not the house elf, Harry pick it up, it annoys me» Sighing he picked it up and threw it in the dirty laundry, cursing.
«I am bored Harry» he heard Draco said from his bed.
«When can you go out of the bed?» Harry asked.
«Soon, within this week» Draco smiled. «I am sorry»
«For what?» Harry raised a eyebrow, it was not often Draco apologized.
«For being such a bitch to you» Harry melted at his spouse's sweet smile.
«No problem»
«Take Leo out from his cribb and come over here»
Harry walked over to the cribb which stood in the end of their bed and picked Leo up.
He walked over to Draco and gave the baby to him before he crawled up and settled beside Draco.
Harry kissed the top of Draco's head and brushed his hand over Leo's head.
«I love you Draco» he said and Draco smiled to him and leaned on Harry's shoulder and relaxed.
