Chapter Thirteen: Quidditch Teams and Morning Sickness
The next day went by fairly quickly and after dinner Harry was already snuggled into one of the chairs with his homework when the first of the Gryffindors arrived. Katie Bell thought she had lost it when she came down and entered Harry and Severus's rooms. Harry looked up and smiled when Katie came in and started to put away his homework, careful of his stomach the entire time. Harry spoke while putting things away, "Hi Katie, just have a seat. Everyone else should be here soon; I have a slight announcement to make."
Katie sat down in a chair next to Harry and asked, "So who all is coming?"
Harry smirked, "Oh the entire Quidditch team and then some."
Katie was about to ask something else when Fred, George, Ginny, Neville, Ron, and Hermione came through the portrait. Hermione smiled brightly and said, "So this is what Professor Snape's Quarters look like."
Harry burst out laughing, "No, this is what it looks like after Harry Potter gets a hold of it and insists that color is added that is NOT green or silver."
Every single person in the room burst into laughter. Fred and George got that mischievous glint in their eyes and Harry immediately looked at them and said, "If you leave one single prank behind I'll sick Snuffles on you and I won't hold Severus back when he tries to kill you."
Katie, Hermione and Ginny found that hilarious and burst into fits of giggles. Neville was looking around as though Severus would storm in and take points of Gryffindor just because Neville was breathing. Harry smiled and said, "Neville, Severus wouldn't come in here tonight if someone told him he would die if he didn't. He knows you're all here. Don't worry so much, have a seat."
Ginny smiled her thanks to Harry and pulled Neville to a couch by the fire and sat down next to him. Ron and Hermione sat down close to Harry and cuddled a bit. Fred and George sat in front of the fire, Katie jumped into Fred's lap and they cuddled on the floor. Angelina and Alicia came in with Dean and Seamus, both couples holding hands and sat down on the same couch. Dean was wrapped up in Seamus's arms and Alicia was half sitting in Angelina's lap.
The last one to arrive was Aubrey, and by the time she sat down Harry had passed around butterbeers and candy for everyone. Fred and George had gone into Hogsmeade to get him some for Harry to bring out for special events. Harry smiled and was just about to start up for the night when Severus walked in. There was dead silence for roughly a minute before Harry said, "Is something wrong Severus?"
Severus glared at Harry and said, "That bloody password is what's wrong."
Harry snorted, "Please, let me get up and change it to 'long live Slytherin' shall I?"
Severus pursed his lips slightly before saying, "Just don't forget to change it back when they leave, I'll not have Fred and George Weasley with unlimited access to our rooms."
Harry chuckled and said, "I already threatened them with Snuffles. Tempting to threaten them with Moony too though isn't it?"
At that thought Severus smiled, "Yes that would be interesting to see. Are you alright out here? I can summon Dobby up here if you need something."
Harry smiled back and said, "No I'm fine, don't worry you'll know if I need something."
Severus just turned and walked into their bedroom mentally adding, 'Ti amo amour.'
Harry mentally replied, 'Ti amo anche Caro.'
Fred broke the short silence with, "That was possibly the scariest thing I've ever seen in my life."
Harry smiled, "What? You mean Severus smiling? Makes him look quite handsome in my opinion."
Severus mentally said to Harry, 'I heard that, mon amour.'
Everyone else burst out giggling and finally Hermione said, "So Harry why are we all here?"
Harry grinned and unconsciously moved a hand to his stomach before saying, "Hmm, yes that. I'm afraid Aubrey will have to train harder as Seeker, as I can't play in any of the remaining games of the season."
There was uproar in the room that put the Great Hall at any time of the year to shame. All of them started shouting about how Aubrey wouldn't have enough time to train, why couldn't Harry just do it, they would all go storm McGonagall's office and talk sense into her, they would all walk off the field anything to keep Harry on the team! Severus didn't bother warning Harry; he walked out clad in his boxers and yelled, "SHUT UP! HE'S NOT BEING TAKEN OFF THE TEAM HE'S NOT PLAYING BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING TWINS IN MAY!"
Harry blushed and everyone else shut up faster then the snitch moves. Severus suddenly realized he was in his boxers, turned and slammed the door behind him. Ron squeaked, "Twins?"
Neville fainted, and Hermione looked sincerely confused before she asked, "How exactly does that work?"
Harry mentally called out to Severus, 'I'm sicking an inquisitive Hermione on you Severus. She wants to know how exactly it works that I'm pregnant.'
Harry then loudly said, "Well Hermione, you could always ask..."
Severus yelled out, "HARRY IF YOU TELL HER TO COME IN HERE AND ASK ME YOU'RE SLEEPING WITH YOUR GREAT-GRANDPARENTS FOR THE REST OF THE TERM!"
Harry blanched and yelled right back, "FINE! I'LL JUST TELL HER TO GO LOOK IN THE LIBRARY LIKE SHE'S GOING TO ANYWAYS!"
Severus just yelled right back, "THEN HURRY THE HELL UP AND GET THOSE GRYFFINDORS OUT OF OUR ROOMS AND GET IN HERE!"
Harry blushed and George said, "So, apparently you two jump in the sack a lot."
Harry tried not to burst out laughing but simply said, "Well, now that you know why I can't play. I'll still be helping train but quite frankly not so bloody early in the morning. At some point though I'll likely need to stop doing that as well. Next year will be different once we figure out what exactly went wrong with that potion. Though honestly seeing as how Severus brewed it himself it couldn't have been wrong."
Katie asked quietly, "But if he got it wrong what's the point in trying it again Harry? Obviously someone out there wants the two of you to have kids."
Harry smirked, "Seems that way doesn't it? Who knows, maybe if we just hadn't bothered with that contraceptive potion, we wouldn't be having twins, but only one baby, course we could have ended up with more than two. Merlin, I'm still having trouble with the idea of losing my stomach muscles."
Everyone of course congratulated Harry and quickly said their goodbyes after Harry made sure they all knew they couldn't tell a living soul if they weren't inside his and Severus's rooms until they announced the pregnancy to the school. Then Harry practically ran to the bedroom and into Severus's waiting arms, kissing him within an inch of his life and then smiling into Severus's eyes. An hour later they fell asleep in one another's arms, and Severus's hand placed lightly on Harry's stomach.
The next morning Harry woke up and ran for the bathroom, knocking Severus out of bed on his way. Harry was in the middle of throwing up when Severus finally made his way to the bathroom and was about to berate Harry for throwing him out of bed when he saw Harry leaning over the toilet. Severus almost immediately dropped to his knees beside Harry and gently rubbed his back.
After a good twenty minutes Harry leaned back against Severus and whispered, "These may be your only children Severus. Especially if they make me throw up like this every morning."
Severus pulled Harry into his arms and ran his hands through Harry's hair. He gently kissed Harry's forehead and said, "If you'd like I can make you a potion for it, so that it won't be as bad."
Harry nodded, "Please do, otherwise I'll be in here all day."
Severus chuckled slightly and said, "Alright, let me help you back into bed, then I'll go make the potion."
Harry smiled and let Severus pick him up and carry him back to bed. Leaning into the now familiar embrace of his husband, Harry wrapped his arms around Severus's neck. Severus placed Harry onto the bed, gently kissed him and left to make the Potion for him.
The next few weeks Harry lived off of the potions Severus gave him and repeatedly told Severus how ungodly thankful he was that Severus was a Potions Master. Ron and Hermione were almost motherly towards him. Draco had been ordered to find a way to lure both Severus and Harry off Hogwarts grounds. Harry just laughed and told Draco to tell Voldemort to 'piss off'.
Severus and Harry told Draco about the twins and told him that he was allowed to 'overhear' a conversation between the two leading him to believe that one of the two was pregnant that he could tell Voldemort about over Christmas Break. Draco had teased them both endlessly over little 'Potter- Snapes' taking over Hogwarts.
Harry was starting to notice a definite change in his stomach, while he hadn't started to show signs visible to anyone aside from himself and Severus, there were changes. His stomach was smooth, and had a bit of what appeared to be fat but both knew to be baby showing a bit. Both were now looking forward to it, and positively beamed when someone asked about the babies.
