Thank You for your reviews! :

Mika the Dark princess, DoctorMarthaJones (Thank you! :) I like it, too!),

Sarahamanda, ashie-slytherin-greenflames, Kab-OldEnoughToDie,

Nocturnal Owl (I'm glad that you like it! So do I! :) Thanks! I like being wished luck! :) I agree, but only because Harry deserves a break, and should be spoiled and loved.. ;)),

Ink (I went back and removed some of the hyphens from the last chapter, and you're right, so I'll not use so many anymore. Thanks. :)),

StartAgainAngel (Yeah, but they all took it okayish, except for Percy, which I'll explain later. At least they didn't disown him.. Yeah, me too. I love the Spitfire petname, and it sort of just came to me, too! :)),

Hikory (Yeah, Ron told them that Viktor was coming, just not why exactly, that's all. No, Percy never left his family in mine. Yes, you'll find out soon why. Yes, Viktor graduated. I'm pretty sure that he was seventeen in the fourth book, so, he graduated from Durmstrang at eighteen, in the fifth book, which is when Harry and Draco got together in An Unexpected Courtship, and he was already playing professional Quidditch before that, because he played in the World Cup in book four. Make sense?.. :)),

CC-RandomDragon (Awww.. Thank you. :) Don't worry about it. I like long reviews, as long as they're nice! :) Yeah, my parents are like that, too. I usually just leave the room when they go into one of their gay hating streaks..),

lovesunwantedqeen, InivisibaJones,

You all totally ROCK! :)

Keep those reviews a-coming, please! O'o *giggles happily*

Chapter 34 Back To Hogwarts

The first thing that Draco did when they arrived at the castle was to reach for Harry's hand after descending from their carriage, assisting his husband down with a smile. He laughed softly in amusement when Harry blushed and fluttered his dark lashes at Draco playfully, giggling when the gorgeous Slytherin bowed over his hand formally, kissing the back of it and looking up at him with gentle eyes that none the less burned with a look that was anything but formal in terms of intensity.

Then Draco surprised Harry when he held out his other hand to Ron when the redhead emerged, helping him down before slipping his arms around both of their shoulders and walking that way with them as Escort up to the castle steps and inside.

"Are you sure that you don't want anything else, Harry love?" Draco asked him quietly. "You need to keep up your strength, you know."

"I'm fine, Draco," Harry sighed, frowning a little and waving away the shiny red apple that the blonde held out to try to tempt his appetite. "I'm full."

"Too full for more treacle tart?" Draco practically cooed, knowing how he loved the stuff.

"Yes, Draco, too full for more treacle tart," Harry replied softly. "I can't eat another bite."

"But, Harry-"

"Draco," Ron spoke up, cutting him off quickly from where he sat on his other side before Harry got cranky with him, which he knew had yet to seriously occur in their relationship. "Leave him be, please. If he's not hungry, then he's not hungry. Too much food isn't good for them, either. If he gets hungry again later then he can just sneak down to the kitchens and ask the house-elves for a sandwich or two."

Draco sighed, then nodded in acceptance of the ginger haired boy's logic, smiling in apology to the dark haired boy. "I'm sorry, Harry.. I'm just being over protective. I'll try to cool it down a little, baby."

Harry smiled, leaning over on the bench to press his lips against the blonde's right cheek gently. "I know that, my darling Draco, and I appreciate it because it means that you love me. But I do have common sense, and I will eat whenever I get hungry."

Draco nodded again, pulling him close and just holding him clasped against his side tenderly. "I love you, Harry Potter."

"I love you, Draco Malfoy."

Ginny alternated between sadness and anger all through the Sorting and dinner. So much so that she was almost actually relieved when Harry, Draco and her brother finally got up and left the Great Hall together.

Draco, Harry and Ron ascended the stairs to the hospital wing together, going inside and surprising Madam Pomfrey with their entrance.

"Harry dear," she said, coming over to the three of them. "I must say that I didn't expect to see you in here quite this soon. What can I do for you?"

Harry's cheeks flushed a little, but he reached for Draco's hand, clasping it tightly in his. "Well.. Draco and I are a couple now. Have been since the last time that I was here, actually. We got married over Christmas break."

"Well, congratulations, boys."

"Thank you," Draco spoke up now. "We are very happy. However, we need your advice about some things."

"Of course. I'm glad to help all of the students any way that I can. It's why I'm here, after all."

"Right. Thank you. Harry's pregnant."

"Oh. Oh my. And.. You want my advice on what exactly?"

"The kinds of foods he should eat, exercise plans, what things aren't safe for him to do anymore until the baby comes."

"Oh. Well, I'll get some things and papers together for you to help. For now though, no flying. I'm afraid Quidditch is out for you this season, Harry. And minor spells are okay for now since it's still early in the pregnancy, I'm assuming? But that'll change as soon as you start showing. Then you should not do magic at all because it will harm the babe as it needs all of your energy, magical and physical, that you can safely spare."

"Okay," Harry agreed with a soft sigh, pouting a little about the fact that he couldn't fly.

"I understand. Which spells are too strong for me now?"

"Any spell that took a lot of your strength before you became pregnant. The Patronus Charm is most likely one of them, I'm guessing?"

"Yes, it is."

"I thought so. For tonight you'll have to sleep in whichever dorm you choose, but I will inform Professors McGonagall and Snape, and Head Master Dumbledore of your new status as a married couple, and the house-elves will be instructed and supervised to set up a suite of rooms on the ground floor for your use for the duration of the rest of your schooling so that Harry will have to climb up and down stairs as little as possible towards the end of his pregnancy. And, of course, so that you can keep the babe with you and not with house-elves. But a pair of Sitter-Elves will also be provided after the baby is born if you wish for the help. Though that is of course your choice as the child's parents."

"Severus already knows," Draco said politely. "He wasn't able to be at the Bonding, but he was there afterwards. He is my Godfather, after all."

"Very well. Now, off to bed with all of you. That babe needs rest."

"Yes," Harry said, covering his mouth as he yawned suddenly. "Thank you, Madam Pomfrey."

She nodded, smiling at them as Draco slung an arm around the Gryffindor's shoulders, Ron following behind them as he guided him out lovingly.
