A/N: Hello, people! I went and saw the new Spiderman movie yesterday and had no time to type this chapter. I'm so sorry!
I don't own Harry Potter.
I have no beta.
ENJOY!
It was late May when the students had their last Hogsmeade weekend of the year. The whole school made its way down to the village to have the last big amount of fun they could have before the exams. Once that was done, they'd have to dedicate the rest of their school days to studying for extremely difficult exams.
Harry was with Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Luna as they went from place to place, just enjoying their time together before real life hit. The time where they couldn't be together everyday and hang out whenever they felt like it. The time where they had to act their age and be grown-up.
They visited every shop in the village, just reminiscing about the past. They even stopped by the Shrieking Shack for a few, thinking about all that had happened during their time at Hogwarts.
It was a little after noon when the explosions happened. They'd been in the Three Broomsticks when there was a loud noise, followed by several high pitched screams. It felt like an earthquake was running through the village.
Harry was ordering every D.A. member in the vicinity to help protect the younger years. It was a bit of a shock when the Slytherin's listened to his orders and moved quickly, guiding children away from the village and towards the school. He didn't have much time to dwell on it though. There were more important things going on!
Harry caught sight of someone he hadn't expected to see so soon. Umbridge.
She had a group of children backed into the wall of a building and was using a really branched version of the Cruciatus on them. One that couldn't get her into too much trouble for using it.
"Expelliarmus!"
The spell was knocked away by another spell that came from his right. Dumbledore stood there, waving his arm as flames spilled from his wand. He whipped his arm around, letting the flames take the shape of a snake that ran over the nearby buildings, setting them alight.
"Bombarda!" Harry yelled, hitting the old man in the chest.
"Aqua Eructo!" he continued, drenching he flaming buildings as best as he could.
He then turned toward the toad and yelled, "Baubillious!"
The white light that leapt from his wand, slammed into Umbridge's back, sending her tumbling forward into the mud.
Harry ran towards the children and stood in front of them protectively. "When I transform, I'[m going to give you a chance to get away into the woods. When you have the opening, I want you all to run," he ordered.
He waited a moment, before taking a deep breath and letting his magic go. His body lengthened considerably. He coiled his large body around the children and allowed his head to split off into the thirteen separate heads that hissed at the two enemy wizards before him.
One head looked back at the kids and made a motion towards its tail. The long tail lifted up, making an opening big enough for them to get through. The kids nodded and crawled through, running into the forest behind them.
Harry faced the two convicts with annoyance. Umbridge sent a cutting curse at him, which he deflected with a mental cry of, Sectumsempra.
It slashed through the toad's curse and landed harshly on her chest, taking her down in an instant.
Dumbledore began throwing curse after curse at him, some done mentally and others with his wand. Harry hissed angrily as some of his heads were sliced off. He slithered forward, trying to get his blood near the wizard.
Harry lunged with his leftmost head, aiming for Dumbledore's leg. Just getting some venom in him and he'd be dead. Just a little bit would be enough.
"Albus! How dare you endanger all these people!"
One of Harry's heads looked over to see McGonagall running toward them at an alarmingly fast pace considering her age. Not too far behind her, were Snape and Tom.
Tom froze upon seeing him, his mouth dropping slightly.
Harry ignored him and continued aiming for the old man in front of him. The three joined him and together, they attacked.
Dumbledore was a good duelist. He was able to take on three adults and a large arse snake all at once. Harry winced as more of his heads were cut off, making his blood splatter. The ground sizzled.
One of his heads caught sight of something small and green crawling up Dumbledore's robes. Sylvanus!
Dumbledore yelled suddenly and three consecutive Petrificus Totalus's hit him. Sylvanus had bitten the man, giving them a chance.
Harry's remaining heads combined instantly and he lunged forward, snapping his mouth over the frozen wizard, making sure his venom was injected upon contact.
He backed off and watched as the not so frozen body writhed in pain. The screams coming from his mouth made a strong sense of pleasure run through Harry's large reptilian frame. He was proud that he had finally gotten rid of the threat!
When there was silence in the village, Harry sighed in relief and laid his body own. The cuts running along his body were burning a lot and he just wanted to rest.
His magic swirled and he found himself back in his human body, laying on the ground surrounded by his acidic blood. Sylvanus slithered to him and wrapped around his neck, asking for praise. Harry gave it to him and promised him many mice when everything was settled.
When someone approached him, he leaned away.
"Don't touch me! There's too much acid. You'll get hurt," he moaned out.
Snape was the one with his brain working the fastest and used Aguamenti on him to clean him off. "We need to get you to the infirmary. Your health is very important right now," the man said, using a levitation charm to carry him.
"Why?" Harry asked as they moved swiftly.
Tom and McGonagall were beside them instantly. Tom' eyes were watching Harry intently and he flinched, not knowing if he should say anything yet.
They came upon Sprout and Flitwick who were running down the large hill.
"Go over every inch of the village in search of students. Retrieve Albus's and Delores's bodies while you're at it," Snape ordered.
"Were any of the children seriously hurt?" Harry asked quickly.
"Only the few whom were under the Cruciatus. The others are in perfect health because of your quickly thinking, Mr. Potter," Sprout smiled before rushing off.
Harry was rushed into the infirmary where Madam Pomfrey went ballistic with worry.
"You need to give him a full body scan. He just fought off Albus and Umbridge while protecting some students. His injuries could negatively affect his condition," Snape stated, leaving him floating in the center of the room.
The old woman's eyes went wide and she rushed through the exam and gasped, looking at Harry in wonder.
"I need some time with Mr. Potter. When I'm done, I'll call you back in," she said, pushing them toward the door.
When they were alone, she turned to him and sighed.
"Mr. Potter, do you have an active sex life?" she asked, much to his embarrassment.
He nodded, "Yes. With my soulmate."
She flushed, "Well, the Headmaster was correct about your physical condition. You shouldn't do anything dexterous for the next eight months. The three of you could be in danger if you do."
Harry was confused, "Huh?"
She rested a palm on his abdomen and smiled. "How do you feel about children?" she asked.
He gaped, "How? I'm a guy?"
She giggled, "Well, only powerful men can actually become pregnant Mr. Potter. Not very man can. You and your soulmate are both exceptionally powerful, so I'm not surprised. You're a month along with twins."
Harry was left in wonder. He was going to have twins.
She went a fetched a clipboard. "Now, I need to know of your creature inheritance. It could affect your pregnancy."
"I'm a Hydra," he said simply.
Her eyes widened as she wrote his answer down. "No transforming after your fourth month, am I clear?" she asked.
He nodded as a dejected look came over his face, "What about sex?"
She cough into her hand and flushed brightly, "No intercourse after the beginning of your sixth month."
He pouted.
"Anything oral is fine however, even swallowing," she suggested, looking at the far wall.
"Really?"
"A lot of protein is in a man's sperm. So, it wouldn't hurt the children in any way.," she said, looking uncomfortable.
"Shall I let them in now?"
"Only Professor Dolhaladmoor please?" he said, shifting to his feet as he broke Snape's spell.
She stared at him for a moment and then gaped like a fish. She nodded quickly and went to fetch him.
He stood there awkwardly as he waited for his lover to enter the room. This wasn't going to end well, he was scared too.
Tom was quiet as he faced his mate. Harry was on edge the whole time, waiting for him to speak. To make a sound at the very least!
"I want to scream at you and accuse you of playing with me this whole time, but I'll give you a chance to explain all of this to me. I'd really like to believe that you care about me and that this isn't you just stringing me along. Because I know that out of everything in the world, you can't genuinely fake love. I want to know if this is even real and if I'm in love with someone who doesn't care for me," he said finally, nearly breaking Harry's heart.
"No! I do love you Tom! Truly I do!" he panicked.
"Then why all of this Harry? Or should I call you Septimus?"
Harry sighed and looked at the floor. "I woke up, the day after my birthday, alone in the forest. I met Sylvanus who informed me that I was a Hydra. It was annoying, because I couldn't see clearly with seven heads and I was grumpy because of the headache it gave me. We met Nagini later on and she took us to you. I'll admit that at first I was just going along with it until I could find out how to transform back into my human form. I was even planning on spying on you. But as I sat in your office and you spoke to your followers, I heard things that I had never heard before. Things that I never considered. I was curious as to why you and Bellatrix didn't seem like crazy people like you did the last time I saw the both of you. I listened to your goals and ambitions. It was because of you that I learned that Dumbledore was keeping things from me," he sighed.
"I didn't want to leave, Tom. I had gotten attached to you. And somewhere in the time I was with you this Summer, Marvolo came out and started talking about how attractive you were and that he knew I was interested in men. You went from, evil crazy snake face, to sexy as hell man with a real plan. I didn't want to go, but I had to see the Goblins about my inheritance and the lordships. You only claimed to want to observe me, though that didn't mean that I would be safe in your home from everyone, if who I really was, was revealed. When you left that day, I staged a kidnapping for myself, because I viewed you as a friend and I didn't want you to think that your friend had left willingly and would never come back. It was just better that way. I knew of your plans from the beginning of the school year and pretty much lusted after you the whole time. Marvolo didn't help much either. I teased you and we got to know each other better. I made your guessing of my inheritance a game, but somewhere along the way, I got scared that you'd be angry and hate me, so I've been trying to steer you away from the subject," he said guiltily.
"Why would I hate you?! I love you!" Tom said, throwing his hands up.
"I know that now! But, some part of me worried, even when both Marvolo and Nagini told me I didn't need to worry because you loved me. Everyone else who found out told me the same thing, but I wasn't listening. I swear I love you Tom! I would never pretend to love someone! I would never want someone to do that to me!"
Tom sighed and shook his head, "Are you ever going to keep something from me again? I don't care that we're soulmates. I refuse to spend eternity with someone who keeps such important things from me."
Harry nodded eagerly, "I promise! Please dont' be angry with me Tom?!"
The man sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Fine. Just don't do this again. You might not understand what that did to me. I don't have many that I consider friends, Harry. I cried hard, when I came home to find Septimus gone. I haven't cried in sixty years, that's how harsh it was for me," he frowned at the memory.
Harry rushed into Tom's arms and wrapped himself around his mate. "I'm sorry!"
Tom's arms moved to keep him close as he sighed in the teens hair. "I forgive you. Just, never again, please?" he asked, sounding timid.
"Never ever again! I promise, Tom!"
They stood there for several minutes, just holding one another. Harry sighed, happy that Tom didn't hate him.
I told you!
Shut up Marvolo! You'll ruin the mood!
Eh-hem! Don't you have something else to tell him? Like that fact that he's going to be a father soon?
Harry nearly jumped and pulled from Tom to look him in the eye.
"Speaking of that promise, I have to tell you something I just found out," he said, smiling.
At Tom's confused look, he grabbed the man's hand and placed it on his his abdomen. "We're expecting two people in eight months."
Tom looked down at his hand and where it lay on Harry's body. His eyes went wide and he looked Harry in the eye. "Are you serious?" he gaped.
Harry nodded, "We're having twins!"
Tom leaned down and kissed him.
Harry's smile faded when Tom dropped to the floor in a boneless heap.
"SHIT!"
