Chapter 13

Harry sighed as he walked back to the study. He noticed Severus or his father weren't there and was about to yell for them when he heard laughter from the other room.

Severus was telling a joke and Lucius was practically rolling on the floor with laughter. "And he said, 'Rub it a little and it WILL turn into a briefcase." Lucius choked on his martini before he started laughing, uncontrollably.

Lucius then noticed Kade there and straightened up. "Come now, Severus, this is NO time for sick jokes!" He spluttered before bursting into laughter again. He was more than a little tipsy.

Kade rolled his eyes and Severus nodded. Kade had actually been the one to TELL Severus that joke. "Sev, we forgot to go see Dumbledore after the meeting with Moldy Wart."

Lucius looked up and then started cracking up again. "MOLDY WART! MOLDY WART! HAHAHA!" He then promptly passed out in his chair. Harry rolled his eyes and Severus, again, nodded. "Let's go."

Severus nodded. "Okay, just let me write him a note." He grabbed a piece of parchment and put it under the martini glass on the side of the pool table. Harry laughed as he read it. "Gone to see Dumbledore, you owe be 100 galleons.- Severus"

The two men then walked to the fireplace and flooed away. They landed unceremoniously in Dumbledore's office. The old wizard looked up from his desk. "It's about time, I was starting to get worried."

Harry rolled his eyes. "We forgot. But we are here now. Everything is fine. Severus now has MY mark on his arm. I was told to get in father's good graces again which has been done. That is about it."

Dumbledore nodded. Severus then looked up at him. "Sir, why couldn't we just tell you through telepathy?"

Dumbledore looked embarrassed and then smiled. "I actually didn't think of it." Severus rolled his eyes. "Well I guess you can be leaving now. Will I be seeing you at school next week Kade?"

Kade nodded. "Yes. I will be back. I will come back when Severus does."

Severus stared at him. "You do know that I will be coming back the day after tomorrow?" Kade nodded.

"Yes. I know. But I want to be here."

Severus smiled. "Okay. Well we had better get back. I will see you in two days time, Albus."

"Very well. Have a nice day."

The two men then flooed away. They appeared back in Severus' study and were surprised when they heard a voice yelling. Severus and Kade ran out of the room and saw Lucius looking up the stairs at a desperate looking Draco. "I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU SAY, FATHER, I LOVE HER AND THAT IS THAT. If I want to marry her, I WILL!"

"Draco, you have only known her for a month!" Lucius stated, incredulously.

"You and MOM married two weeks after you started dating her!" Draco retorted.

"Don't be silly! I had known her for 7 years!"

"Father, I do not care what you say, on Valentine's Day, I am proposing. Whether you want it or not!" Draco then disappeared.

Lucius turned around. "I mess up everything don't I?"

Harry just nodded.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next week passed, and Harry had already settled back into his room. Severus came in quietly. "Kade, the students are arriving soon. You need to be in the Great Hall."

Harry nodded and stood. "Very well. I am going." He went down into the hall ten minutes later and could barely blink before someone was hugging him. He pulled back from his attacker and saw the smiling face of Hermione. She leaned forward and kissed him forcefully. "Damn, I have missed you." She whispered, huskily.

Harry smiled and kissed her back. "I missed you too. How long do you want to stay here?"

"Just long enough to say hi to Draco, grab a bite and then leave. Harry nodded and smirked.

Soon the couple was done eating and Hermione and Kade turned in early.

The next morning Harry woke up and looked at the body lying next to his. "Wow." He murmured. His whisper woke the girl next to him and she smiled as she opened her eyes. "So...did you like your Christmas present?" She asked as she nibbled on his ear lobe.

Harry nodded. "It was...perfect. I love you."

Hermione's head jerked up. "What did you say?!"

"I said that it was perfect." Harry said slowly.

"No...after that." Harry smiled as he realized he had never said that to Hermione.

Harry propped himself up on an elbow and looked into her eyes. "I said that I love you." He then kissed her as her eyes teared up. "But I don't just love you, I love everything about you." She smiled as tears ran down her cheeks. "I love you too, Kade."

Kade smiled at his lover. "Well, as much as I would love to stay like this all day, we have classes to go to."

Hermione nodded and sat up. "Yes. Now how am I supposed to get out of here without getting caught."

Harry smiled and got out of bed between the thick curtains. He soon reappeared and handed Hermione his invisibility cloak. He then kissed her. She leaned up and the sheet fell down. "Care to hand me my clothes, love?" She asked, innocently.

He smiled as he handed them to her. "Damn, you are beautiful." She blushed. Then she was gone. Harry felt invisible lips kiss his before the dorm's door opened and closed.

Harry went down to breakfast that day with a smile on his face. He sat down and was soon joined by Hermione, Felicia and Draco. Felicia was looking very flushed and Harry looked at his brother, Draco smirked. Harry shook his head.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It was soon March. Draco had decided to wait until he had a job before asking Felicia to marry him. Harry thought it was a good idea. Harry, however, already had a job waiting. McGonnagal was retiring at the end of the year and Harry had already been offered the job as Transfiguration professor and Head of Gryffindor.

He had been to more meetings with Severus and was now the owner of a furnished, three-story Victorian house in the greenest area of Scotland. He was preparing to ask Hermione to marry him.

Funny thing about Hermione, she had been acting different. Starting to pull away from him and Draco. Her grades were also dropping slightly. Harry had already bought the ring but her attitude was not comforting him. Lucius had given his approval and now Harry was planning.

Harry met Hermione before dinner one night. "Hermione, come with me." She looked down at her feet and nodded.

Harry led her out to the lake and they sat on a blanket. She leaned her head up against his chest and sighed. Harry then smiled.

"Hermione, can I talk to you?"

"Sure, Kade, what about?"

"Hermione, we have been dating for over half a year now and I want to tell you how special it has been to me. You are EVERYTHING to me. I love you with all my heart. But I just feel like something is missing...So..."

Kade looked at Hermione and saw that she was crying. "Are you breaking up with me?" She asked.

Kade smiled. "No."

"Well then what...?"

She was cut off when Harry opened up a ring box. "I wanted to asked if you would be my wife?" Harry saw a smiled cross her face and she leaned forward and kissed him.

"So is that a yes?" He asked, breathlessly.

Hermione then looked up at him, guiltily. "Kade, there is something I have to tell you."

"What is it?" Harry asked, confused.

"Harry...I am...pregnant."

"What?! How? When?"

"I am pregnant, it was right after Christmas, our first time. And...I think you know how that happens. So, before I agree to marry you, I want you to know that I AM keeping the baby."

Harry looked at her before standing up and turning away. He then turned around and faced her. "I AM GOING TO BE A DAD!" He yelled with a big grin on his face. He pulled Hermione up and swung her around. "I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!" She had tears of joy running down her face and the biggest grin he had ever seen.

"Well, I suppose I will have to marry you..." She teased, "NOW WHERE IS MY RING!"

Authors Note: I hope you liked this chapter. I had to speed it up a little bit. Now, as for the future stories numbers 1 and 3 are in the lead clearly. But it is MESSY! So review with the one that you want the most. Choice "A" OR "B"!

A: James Potter is found out to be alive and Harry goes to live with him. But he is not the best father, Lucius Malfoy type actually, and Harry doesn't really like him. Harry then really gets on his nerves by becoming friends with Severus and Draco. If this is your choice, should it be slash and with whom?

B: Severitus Challenge: I adore them but have never wrote one. If you haven't read one, it is of Harry finding out he is Snape's son. Should he befriend Draco? Should this be slash?

THOSE ARE THE CHOICES! CHOOSE ONE AND WRITE IT IN A REVIEW ALONG WITH WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS CHAPTER. I WOULD ALSO LOVE TO HER IF YOU THINK THE BABY SHOULD BE A BOY OR A GIRL AND WHAT NAME YOU THINK IS GOOD!
