Chapter Six: Horrified Circumstances
He could hear his heaving breaths as he ran down the hill, hitting and swinging around the tree branches ahead. His footsteps felt heavier in each attempt to run faster while his fingers began to numb from gripping his wand too hard. His cloak billowed behind him, and as he ran down, he could hear the sound his belt and the weapons that covered it bounce against his body meshing in with the sounds of his colleague's screams.
"Harry!" But the raven haired man plainly ignored it, ignored the calls from everyone around him, ignored the vision before him and especially ignored the throbbing feeling growing from within his lighting bolt scar, Harry knew that Voldemort was near, and he was the last person that Harry wanted to see.
An explosion thundered near him, forcing him to draw his hand up to shield his head, while his feet carried him down the path to his escape. Bits of dirt and rocks stained his black messy hair and clouded his path ahead. It was at that moment the Boy-Who-Lived lost his balance and crashed down to the ground, sliding a few feet through the ground, his glasses flying away from his the brick of his nose joining his flying wand, the two landing several feet away.
He tried to stand up as soon as possible, but suddenly pain erupted from within his body, a consequence from his backwards swan dive on the ground. His vision was blurry, of course, but he could make out the form of the white masked man dressed in black emerging from the same path he came from, his wand raised and prepared to fire a curse. Harry's eyes widened; not having his wand was worst, but thankfully, thanks to his seeker skills, he reacted before the other man could finish saying the curse. He withdrew a small sharp dagger and, with a furious velocity, threw it at the masked man where it sank deep into the man's left thigh, making him double over his wounded limb, causing him to lower his wand.
Harry took the opportunity to back away, but the man fired a spell at him, making the raven haired man roll over to his right and stand up. The curse hit a tree nearby, causing it to burst into flames and creating smoky smog around the area. Harry stopped to catch his breath while the smoke began to clear, but soon, the man came charging madly, dagger in hand and plummeting it deeply in the raven haired man's left shoulder.
Harry let out a searing scream and hastily lifted his right fist and made contact with the Death Eater's cheek, propelling the mask off the face of the Death Eater and at the same time knocking the man down to the ground. Harry removed the dagger as the rest of the smoke cleared and threw it next to him. He looked up and noticed that his wand as well as the Death Eater's wand were a feet away. Harry's first instinct made him run forward to get his wand, but the Death Eater grabbed his right ankle and brought him back to the ground. Harry turned angrily and watched the horrible wrinkled and gauntly face of Avery Nott; looking extremely pissed off. Avery's other hand reached for the dagger that Harry threw on the ground earlier and sunk it deep into the raven haired man's leg.
Harry screamed angrily, now shaking the grip away but Avery, stood up halfway and threw himself on top of the raven haired man His hands eagerly reaching for the other's neck, but Harry, despite the searing pain in his legs drew his legs up and kicked the old Death Eater off of him sending the man to the other side of Harry.
He took a sharp breath and removed the dagger and, with no hesitation, sunk it in Avery, who was lying flat on his back. Having done that, it gave Harry the time he needed to draw out the two 8 inches daggers that he kept at his waist and circled the other man. Avery stood up, eyeing the young Auror before launching himself against him. Harry was ready to sink the blade into the Avery's neck but instead, Avery took him by surprised and drove Harry's first dagger down towards the raven haired man's head, forcing Harry to dodge the blow and in turn, making him lose one of his daggers to Avery.
He turned to face his enemy, wand completely forgotten nearby, and was ready to launch his second dagger into Avery only to be beat by Avery acted first and threw his dagger, catching Harry by surprise the dagger hit him at full force on his stomach and knocked him down to the ground. He heard Avery laughing.
His gaze, still blurry, noticed the shape of his wand beside him and, mustering all his strength, reached for it.
"CRUCIO!" He yelled pointing his wand at the laughing man and watched how the laughed died on his lips, replaced with silent screams of agony as he fell down to the ground and writhed on the ground. Harry felt his nails digging into his palm and his teeth biting his lips as he tried to continue his hatred to affect the curse, yet the pain in his stomach was agonizing and slowly the curse was lifted off the man.
His hand let go of his wand and reached for the dagger on his stomach, trying to haul it of his stomach but he felt blood running down his sides. "AHHHHHHHHH!"
"Harry!" he heard Remus' voice calling, tears started rolling down his cheeks. Shouts of Stupefy were heard near him soon Harry saw how Avery drop unconscious to the ground.
A man dropped to his knees beside him; he noticed it was Remus. "Harry! Oh my GOD! Harry!" Remus exclaimed horrified.
But the words were so difficult to get out and the tears began to affect his sight even more. "Don't give into it Harry! Stay with us Harry!"
His eyelids became heavier and soon, everything around him mercifully darkened…
"He's ok now?" He slowly heard Remus ask.
"Yes, Mr. Lupin. Despite how deeply the wound was Mr. Potter is now out of danger. Though we still have to run few test on him, he seems to be in good condition," answered the deep tone of another man on the room.
"And the-" Remus tried to ask but the doctor cut in.
"We're still working on it, I will give you further information after the tests are over and the results are in."
"Thank you doctor." Harry slowly but heavily opened his eyes watching how the man in white robes closed the door behind him. He hastily identified the room as one of the rooms he was constantly in whenever he came back from a mission at St. Mungo's. He looked over to Remus, who looked extremely pale and was sitting shocked, on one of the two visitor's chair.
"Hey," he called out weakly in hoarse whisper.
"Oh thank god you're awake Harry," Remus sighed in relief. Harry tried to sit up but a searing pain erupted from his stomach and Remus pushed him gently back to the bed. "You can't get up so quickly like you usually do boy."
"What happened? Where's Avery? Did you catch him?"
"Oh we caught him all right; especially after what he did to you. Merlin, I thought you were gone for sure-"
Harry snorted and pushed himself a bit up. "Thought so low of me ey?"
"Harry you can't sit up-" Remus tried to say while pushing the man back down but the raven haired man shook his hands away and glared at him.
"I'm already a man, Remus, I'm not your little Harry anymore." Remus sighed, and brought his hands to his face.
"Why didn't you tell me Harry?"
"Tell you what?"
"Have you been having morning sickness?" he asked now, leaning his elbows on his thighs, joining his hands together, his back a bit father from the back of the chair.
"Well yeah, I thought it was useless to say so, I mean it might be just a flu or something."
"No it wasn't!" Remus hissed.
Harry raised his eyebrow at the werewolf, and crossed his arms, despite the pain that came from it, "Since when do you know so much about illnesses?"
"Harry this is serious! You almost risk your life and-"
"It is my usual job Remus! Open your eyes, I'm an Auror!"
"Not for long Mr. Potter," the Doctor said strolling in, with parchments at hand. He stopped and looked at the both of them through his square glasses. He shook his white robes and handed down the parchments to Remus.
"Here is what you requested Mr. Lupin, everything is in good heath and conditions. Shall I leave you explain the circumstances to Mr. Potter?" the doctor asked and Remus nodded, examining the parchments intently.
"What circumstances?" Harry asked, but the Doctor bowed and once again left the room. The raven haired man turned to face the werewolf, "What circumstances Remus? A-Am I paralytic?" The werewolf looked up at him after examining the last parchment; desperately the raven haired man reach out and grabbed the werewolf's shoulders shaking him slightly, "For Merlin's sake, Remus speak! What circumstances?"
"I don't know if you were aware Harry, but you're pregnant."
