whitecollarblackwolf – Me too, it's terrible that he lost his entire family and people, then was imperioused by Greyback. But now he's free from the curse and found his imprint and is not alone. So not all is bad.
babesbraves – Oh yeah! You can always count on Madame Pomfrey to slap some sense into anyone…I'm glad they're gonna be ok too… We'll see what they are up to, we know they are close by and are closing in on Hogwarts again. Are they working alone? Are they in league with the Volturi? We'll see.
bluestorm28 – When I said Quileutes, I spoke in a general overall term, so basically everyone was slaughtered. Dead, dead, dead.
HibaTsu-Lover – Yeah I tried to pack it all in hahaha… Thanks for the props….Yeah, I try to make Harrys relationships equal in every story cause I think that balace is good, it's what people in real life, in relationships, try to be in real life. The man is not above the woman and the woman is not above the man they're equal, that goes to hetero to LGBT couples as well. It's about finding that balance….I feel bad for Jacob too, to lose your family and your community in such a brutal way and then to be cursed by the imperius curse and forced to fight against your will. But yeah, I know he'll be happy with Charlie… Hmmm, I'm not sure about the mpreg for Jacob/Charlie. I'll think about it….You're welcome, I'm glad you liked the deliciousness. Yes it's the last one for a while, so we'll see.
yukino76 – Hahaahahaah! Good one! Hey, he was a newborn vampire with cravings, you he had to do what he had to do! Hahahaha. But I don't think he expected the pregnancy. Is it a side effect of the love potion? We'll see.
– I will! Thanks for the enthusiasm.
Guest – Thanks… I'm sure they will be… I thought that, but when he gets knocked down he just gets back up. But I'm it'll take a bit more time this time. That was a nasty curse he got hit with…I hope so too. She's gonna go down eventually, and I can't wait to find out who will do that!
Crimson cat angel – Thank you. I love that you love it!
***Hi guys great reviews and questions. I hope you like this chapter. I think it'll be a heavy emotional one. We'll see what happens and what news Madame Pomfrey has for Harry concerning his pregnancy! Enjoy!***
HOSPITAL WING, HOGWARTS – It had been two weeks since Harry and Edward left Rio de Janeiro, their trip back to England did not go unnoticed. They spent two weeks traveling from one place to another slowly making their way up, trying to avoid and sometimes having to fight Volturi trackers.
By the time they arrived at Hogwarts, Harry physically he had lost a lot of weight, his beauty faded turning more into a living corpse every day more and his stomach was huge as if he was 6 months pregnant.
They wheeled him into the Hospital Wing and he sat by his brothers bed, the sight of seeing Caleb so hurt had him in tears. Not just him but Draco and Snape. "You should've told me!" he growled at Hermione. Edward stood by Harrys' side, with his hands on the wizards shoulders giving him quiet support, it killed him to see Harry so heartbroken.
"We had it under control Harry." said Hermione.
"Did you?!" snapped Harry. "It sure doesn't' look like it!"
"They were brought here and got immediate medical attention. They've been responding well and…" said Hermione, she kneeled in front of Harry. "You're right…But you were so happy. We thought you deserved a few days away from all of this, and us calling you back before you even started your trip would've been too…"
"You wouldn't have had a honeymoon at all and…" started Carlisle. "We didn't want to take those days away from you."
"I know, I know that and I love you all for it, but…" started Harry. He lost it and started to cry. "Professor Spout, Madame Pince and…Hagrid…" He cried. "They didn't deserve to die that way…" He thought. "I want to bury them properly…as proper honorary witches and wizards of the school should." He looked at McGonagall. "I'd like to bury them here, on the Hogwarts grounds, if that is alright Professor?"
McGonagall smiled. "That would be lovely Harry."
Harrys mind turned to the Deatheaters and his voice hardened. "I want them all dead. Too long have we been running, too long have we suffered at the hands of those monsters…"
"We got Greyback Harry." said Hermione. "He's in Ministry custody and I'm sure they will get answers out of him one way or another. Veritaserum works on werewolves, so I'm sure we'll know more soon."
Harry nodded. He looked at Caleb. "How is he Poppy?"
"Improving everyday." said Poppy. "The anti curse potions we have given him, as well as countless other remedies, have worked. Tomorrow I will be able to safely remove the ice blades. Neville has cooked up a potent healing salve that will start healing the tissues and closing the wounds. But I'm afraid, due to the pain, I'll keep him in the coma."
Harry cried. Edward squeezed his shoulders telling him he was there. "What about Draco and Severus?"
"Mr. Malfoys fevers are gone and the seizures have diminished…" said Poppy. "It's quick healing for a crucio curse as horrible as that. It's a testament to his strength dear." She sighed. "Severus will take more time, given his age and the rarity of the curse I don't know when he will be fully healed. I've taken the liberty of setting a private rehabilitation suite to give him more privacy."
"Are you alright Harry?" asked Esme.
Harry nodded, he took a deep breath. "I will be."
"Now Mr. Potter." said Poppy. "Lets take a look at you."
With everything that happened, Harry totally forgot of his current condition. "Oh, yes. Of course." He got up and they followed Madame Pomfrey to a door on the far right hand corner of the wing, down a small hallway and into a private examining room. "Please remove your shirt and jeans Mr. Potter, then lie on back on the examining table…"
Ever since the news arrived of Harrys condition, Carlisle had been in the library reading every medical book in wizarding history up to now to learn and catch up on all the magical medical procedures available in their world. He was now ready, fluent and after a day of exams at St. Mungos Learning Academy, all of which he got prefect scores, was a certified mediwizard. He grabbed the clear ultrascan gel and a neon blue potion. "Drink this Harry." Harry did so and Poppy lowered the lights, they saw the neon blue potion through Harrys skin, flowing down his throat, into his stomach, around the embryonic sac. He applied the clear ultrascan gel onto Harrys stomach.
Madame Pomfrey waved her wand and chanted. "PROJECTUS DIAGNOSTICUS PRESENTUS."
"What are you doing?" asked Hermione.
"I'm creating a magical hologram to examine the fetus." Said Poppy. The potion Harry drank will map it out exactly and the gel on his stomach will collect the information and project it in a magical scan…" She waved her wand again and the embryonic sac was projected in the air above Harry like a soft 3D hologram. "Now…lets see…" She waved he wand again making the magical scan bigger. Edward stood in the background, devastated at the condition of his mate. AS they took in the image of the magical scan, they all gasped.
"What is it?" asked Harry. "Is something wrong with the baby?"
"No. Mr. Potter." Said Poppy. She waved her wand moving the magical scan hologram around. "Its…Merlins beard!"
"What?!" called Harry.
"There's nothing wrong with the baby…or should I say babies" said Poppy.
Harrys heart was beating fast. "Babies, as…as in plural?"
Poppy nodded. "You're carrying twins Harry."
"Wh…What?!" asked Harry. Everyones heart melted seeing the joyful tears in his emerald eyes, the tears made them look like sparkling gems. He noticed Madame Pomfreys sigh, it was a sigh of frustration. "What is it Poppy? Are they alright, really?"
"They are fine Harry." said Poppy. "It's you I'm worried about."
"I can't see their future Harry." said Alice. "Neither can Luna. Not thiers or yours."
"You're health is fading fast and…" started Poppy. "The babies are strong and fast growing, the faster they grow the weaker you become."
"You're saying the babies are killing me?" gasped Harry. Luna and Hermione sat on both sides of Harrys bed holding his hand.
Jacob and Charlie walked in during the explanation. "Why haven't you done anything? Take it out of him!"
Rosalie got in between Jacob and Harry. "Back off dog!"
"Rose!" scolded Esme. "All this fighting isn't good for Harry."
"Those fetuses aren't good for Harry." said Alice.
"Say the word Alice." Argued Rosalie. "Babies. They're just babies."
"Possibly…" added Jasper, standing beside Alice.
"Carlisle." Said Jacob. "You've got to do something."
Harry was panicking, the thought of him dying and leaving Edward was killing him, but the thought of killing his own children to save his life was unimaginable. "No!" said Harry. His voice was firm. "It's not his decision. It's not any of yours. It's mine."
Edward looked at Jacob and spoke to the werewolf telepathically. 'Jacob I need to talk to you outside.' With a sharp nod response, they were out the door.
HALLWAY OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL WING, HOGWARTS – "I always knew you'd destroy him." said Jacob.
"Madame Pomfrey is out of options." said Edward. "This has never happened before in wizarding history. A wizard turned newborn vampire has never gotten pregnant. Theories say that the host will die…" He took a breath, which he needed. "…Carlisle thinks he can speed up the vampire process at the last minute." said Edward. "Fast forward his newborn vampire status into a full vampire…"
"Can he?" asked Jacob.
"He's been talking about it with Poppy and Hermione, they've been reading books and they have a plan but the probability is still slight…and if his heart fails…" said Edward was shaking, he was petrified. "Jacob, long before all of this, before I was in the picture. You were friends before you became a couple, you had a connection with him, and still do. I know he still loves you as a brother, it's a bond that never broke. Ma…Maybe you can talk to him, change his mind? We can keep her alive…"
PRIVATE MEDICAL SUITE, HOSPITAL WING, HOGWARTS – "So how are you and Charlie?" asked Harry.
"Great." said Jacob.
"Hmmm." said Harry. "Glad to be rid of that Bella baggage right?"
Jacob smiled. "You have no idea."
"Now you have a hot dragon tamer." Smiled Harry. Jacob chuckled. "So Edward sent you in here to talk to me I assume."
"Yes." said Jacob. "Though I can't figure out why he thinks you'll listen to me. You never have before." They laughed, then there was a long pause. "What are you thinking Harry? Seriously. It's just us talking."
"I know this seems like a scary thing, it's not." said Harry. "It's like this miracle or something. I can feel them." He smiled. "Now more than ever I feel my mom, I feel connected to her, I feel that power and love she had for me. The love that killed Voldemort all those years ago. A love that I now feel in my veins. I get her and I know I will see her in their eyes."
"You won't." said Jacob.
"It's not the first time I've faced death Jake." Said harry. "I can do this. I'm strong enough."
"Wake up Harry!" said Jacob. "Those things inside you are killing you Harry! They're draining your magic and your life minute by minute until there is nothing left."
"You're wrong." said Harry.
"And when you die…" started Jacob. "Of me loving you, you loving me, then you loving him and him loving you…? What was the point of all of that? How is this right for anyone?" He walked over. "Harry, please. Don't do this. Everyone is on edge, Molly and Arthur are hysterical. We your friends and your family out there are going insane…Chose life Harry…Please."
Harry took his hand. "Jake, everything is gonna be okay." Jacob left the room leaving Harry alone.
PRIVATE MEDICAL SUITE, HOSPITAL WING, HOGWARTS – After a week Poppy had managed to stabilize Draco. Severus was improving and Caleb, though still in his coma managed to retract his wings safely.
The same could not be said for Harry, who was fading faster and faster. His hair started falling out and he was slowly diminishing to skin and bones. Carlisle was in his room, with Edward, explaining the magical x rays. "Your rib is cracked. But there are no splinters, you haven't punctured anything."
"Yet…" added Edward.
"Edward." said Carlisle.
Edward turned to face Harry. "It's breaking your bones now. It's crushing you from the inside out. Dad, tell him what you told me. Tell him."
"Carlisle, tell me." said Harry. "It's alright. I can take it."
"The fetuses aren't compatible with your newborn body." said Carlisle. "They are too strong. They won't allow you to get the nutrition you need since they immediately claim the blood potions you ingest. It's starving you by the hour. I can't stop it, neither can Madame Pomfrey, we can't slow it down…At this rate your slow beating heart will stop before you can deliver and before you transition into the full grown vampire you were meant to become."
"Then I will hold on as long as I can." said Harry.
"Harry." said Carlisle. "There are some conditions that even the strongest potions and vampire venom can't overcome." He took Harrys hand, it was killing him that the young wizard turned vampire that fell in love with his son and that he saw as another son was dying. "I'm sorry." He left the room.
Harry looked at Edward. He could tell the vampire was trying to control his anger sadness and rage. "Edward, I'm so sorry…"
Edward stood there looking at Harry, holding in his heartbreak. "I…I can't live without you."
"You won't." said Harry. "You will have a part of me. Two parts of me. They will need you."
"Do you honestly think that I could love them, or even tolerate them if they killed you?" asked Edward. His voice was hardening with anger.
"It's not their fault." said Harry. "You have to accept what is."
"Because you've given me no choice!" yelled Edward, his eyes were pitch black. "Harry we're supposed to be partners, remember? But you decided this on your own. You've decided to leave me."
"Don't see it that way." said Harry.
"Well I have no other way to see it." said Edward. "Because it's me that will lose you, and I don't chose that….I don't chose that." He growled as he stormed out of the room, throwing the door closed on his way.
Harry was left alone, crying quietly. "Mom…Dad…Sirius…Help me." He wept. "Please…please help me."That night it came to him. The ultimate plan that could fix everything and give him everything he wanted. He used his wand and patronus called Luna and Hermione into his room. The witches aparated there in less than a minute. "Luna…Hermione..."
Hermione and Luna looked so sad, defeated. "How are you love?" asked Hermione kissing his forehead.
"I've been better." said Harry.
"Harry, the nargles don't want you to go." she kissed his hand.
Harry chuckled. "Well I don't want to go either…and I won't." The witches looked at each other and then back at him. "I have an idea that will fix everything without giving up anything."
"What are you thinking about Harry" asked Hermione.
"I know everyone wants me to kill my babies, but I won't." said Harry. "Not after knowing the great sacrifice my mother did for me. I've always honored her and I won't throw that legacy of love and into the toilet."
"But Harry…" started Luna.
"Time is running out, I know I don't have much time…I have a plan." said Harry. "But in order for this to work, I need your help…"
"You won't tell Edward?" asked Hermione.
"I love Edward, but he's too blinded by grief and rage." said Harry. "I can't trust his judgment now. I can't tell any of the Cullens because he can read their minds...and fortunately both of you are experts in occlumency…" He looked at them in the eyes. "No one must know…"
There was a brief pause. They witches looked at each other and greed. "What do we need to do?"
"It must be done tonight…" said Harry and he began to tell them his plan. The witches nodded, sat back and listened carefully.
That night as the castle slept Luna and Hermione, hidden under black hooded capes, quickly left the school. They took a Hogwarts carriage down to the Hogsmeade Station and boarded the Hogwarts Express towards London at high speed.
***WOOOOW! An emotional chapter indeed! I didn't think it's make it through it. I hate Harrys condition, and I understand Edwards rage and anger. It broke my heart how he cried and asked his parents and godfather for help! But….I now I'm dying to find out his plan and he sent Hermione and Luna away in the dead of night?! What is he up to?! PLEASE REVIEW!***
