out to me that some parts are familiar. The trunk part belongs to Rhysenn and this line: "I'm no
innocent to be spoiled. Trust me, Potty, this is not where no man has gone before. Just take what

Chapter Two: The Birth
The rest of the month was uneventful except that Draco stopped treating everybody
like trash and got sharp pains and dizziness in the morning. Harry didn't say or do anything
about what happened. It was Halloween. As the leaves lose their color and fall off trees the
birth of Draco and Harry's baby came nearer. The pains during class weren't helping either.
Harry was getting suspicious because of the damned necklace. He stays by Draco's side more
often than liked and always asked how he was doing. The egg was due to hatch as well.
McGonagall just said it proved that he was going to be a good mother.
He stepped outside of the castle walking towards the lake. Stopping at a tree he breathed
in the fresh air. It was getting harder to walk now that he was in the last month of pregnancy.
The sex ed class was very much embarrassing. Today he had to lie on a blanket next to all
the other seventh year girls pretending to be in labor. He supposes it was just preparing
him for when the real baby comes. He didn't even know if the baby was a girl or boy yet
because he wanted to find out at birth. It was silly but he heard his mother say that she
waited until he was born to find out what gender he had.
Draco winced. The baby was kicking again. It has been active since his fifth month of
pregnancy. He just has to say that the baby is one hell of a kicker. The funny thing was it
was more active when Harry was around. Briefly he wondered whether it was the right
thing not to let Harry know. No, it would hurt too much. Since that bitch Cho Chang put
a memory spell on Harry it hurt to be around him and not have him remember anything.
Most of the teachers think Harry should know but it was his decision.
He heard a twig crack behind him. He turned around to see who interrupted his thoughts.
It was Harry. He wore Gryffindor robes and scarf. "What do you want, Potter?"
He stopped. "I just came to see how you were doing. I was walking with Ron and
Hermoine. I saw you standing here and thought you might like a little company. We are
supposed to be spending our free time together after all. Lighten up. It's Halloween. The
feast is coming up. It'll be fun." Draco said nothing. He walked to stand by Draco. "I do
want to help you, you know."
Draco looked over at Harry. "Do you really want to help?" Harry nodded. "You can help
by staying the bloody hell away from me." Draco inwardly winced at his tone of voice.
Harry grew angry. "Fine! I don't even know why I bother if you're just going to be a
bloody arse anyway!"
Draco turned to walk back to the castle when he felt and hand wrap around his arm.
"Let me go, Potter." he said quietly.
"Not until you answer my questions, Malfoy."
"I mean it. Let me go before I curse you."
"I'll let you go when you answer my questions."
Draco quickly reached for his wand and whispered a spell. Harry was knocked backward.
He ran towards the castle quickly. He didn't run three feet before he was knocked to the
ground from behind. "Potter, let me go!" He felt something trickle down in between his
legs. "Fuck! My water broke! Potter, I have to get to the Hospital Wing!" His breathing
quickened. The baby was coming.
The necklace lit up. Harry scrambled to his feet. He helped Draco up and they ran as
fast as they could back to the castle.
Professor Dumbledore was walking out of the doors. Draco groaned. Dumbledore stopped
them. Did something happen to Mr. Malfoy?"
Harry half-carrying half-dragging Draco said, "He mentioned something about his water
breaking."
Dumbledore paled considerably. "Hand him here, Harry. You need to alert Professor
Snape." Harry looked uncertain. "Quick, Harry! There's not much time. I'll explain soon."
Harry handed Draco over to Dumbledore who raced off towards the Hospital Wing. He
didn't stop to see if Harry went to alert Snape. Draco's breathing was getting labored. He
reached the Hospital Wing and yelled for Madam Pomfrey.
"What is it?" she called opening the door. She gasped. "Is it time?" He nodded. "Quickly,
bring him in and set him on one of the beds." Dumbledore set him down. Draco's breaths
are coming in pants now. "Draco, honey? I need you to breathe like they taught you in
class." Draco nodded. "Are you sure you don't want Harry in here?" Draco hesitated before
slowly nodding. "Alright, just keep breathing. I'll be right back." She looked at Dumbledore.
"Whatever he wants get it for him. Also tell everyone that the Hospital Wing is closed for
now." He nodded and she left to get her supplies. He winced as Draco let out an
ear-piercing scream.
***
After Dumbledore left with Draco, Harry ran to Snape's office. Snape was coming out of
the office when Harry ran into him. "Potter! What is the meaning of this?!"
Harry stood up quickly. "Sorry, Professor Snape but Professor Dumbledore wanted me
to get you. Draco is in the Hospital Wing. I brought him there after he said something
about his water breaking."
Snape also paled. "Alright, Potter. I'll let you go this time but next time no running in
the halls." Harry nodded. Snape hurried quickly to the Hospital Wing with Harry at his
heels. As they neared the wing they heard a scream. Snape started running. They burst
through the doors.
Harry saw Draco lying on one of the beds. His face was perspiring and scrunched up in
pain. He screamed again. Professor Dumbledore was standing in the corner while Madam
Pomfrey took care of Draco. "I want Harry now!"
Harry hurried quickly to Draco's side. "What's wrong with him?"
Madam Pomfrey looked around the room. "Severus, close the doors! Harry, I need you
to hold Draco's hand. I can't explain right now but you'll see soon enough." She wiped
Draco's forehead. "Keep breathing. You're doing fine. You're almost done contracting."
Harry's eyes grew wide. It was like what they were studying in class. "Draco's pregnant?!"
He felt a stab of jealousy. "With whose baby?!"
Draco looked at him. "You ask me that nooow?! I'm not going to tell you!"
"I'm going to ask you to push now, Draco. Keep breathing. Alright, push!"
"Argh!" Draco held Harry's hand so tightly he was sure he cut off the blood circulation.
"I see the head!" cried Madam Pomfrey. "Keep pushing. Again, push!" Draco pushed.
Harry whispered into his ear that everything was going to be fine. "The head is out. Just
a few more pushes. Come on! Push! Two more big ones! Push!" Draco cried out and
collapsed. "I got it! The baby's out!" She cut the umbilical cord and went to wash the baby
clean of blood.
Harry wiped some hair off of Draco's forehead. "You did wonderfully." Harry kissed his
forehead.
Madam Pomfrey came back. She smiled happily. Dumbledore and Snape stepped toward
the bed. They saw a small bundle of blue blanket. "I would like to be happy to say that
you have a healthy baby boy." She handed him over to Draco.
Draco smiled softly at his child. "I'll name him Orion." Then he conveniently fell
asleep.
Suddenly a light came from the egg around Draco's neck and burst open. Three forms
the size of a phoenix came out. A phoenix, a dragon, a lion with a green snake around its
neck; its wings folded to the side. The phoenix flew to Harry's side. The Dragon flew to
Draco and landed on his head. The lion flew over and landed next to Orion. The necklaces
then disappeared.
Orion lay peacefully in his father's arms. Harry looked in awe at the phoenix perched on
his shoulder. Dumbledore cleared his throat to catch Harry's attention while Madam
Pomfrey made Draco comfier.
Snape sat down in the chair next to Draco's bed. The dragon perched onto his shoulder
and they both settled down to watch Draco. Harry's eyes widened. He looked at
Dumbledore. "Is he the father?!" Harry whispered.
Dumbledore just smiled at him and shook his head. He motioned towards the waiting
room. "Harry," he said as soon as the door closed. "This is a rare occurrence. Other schools
have done this and no one's spirit has ever been so in sync as yours and Draco's. Then
Orion was born and at the same time your egg hatched. There were only supposed to be
two spirit beasts. You and Draco hatched three spirit beasts. The third spirit beast was for
your son, Orion-"
"MY SON?!" Harry shrieked. "I have never been with Malfoy. We've only kissed once!
I would never be with Malfoy!" A door slammed shut loudly behind him. Harry whirled
around.
Dumbledore walked into the Hospital wing. Harry tried to follow but was stopped.
Dumbledore frowned at him. "You've done enough, Harry. Go get some sleep. We'll
find him." He then shut the door firmly closed behind him.
Harry hit his head on the wall over and over. The phoenix flew onto his head and
started singing. He stopped and then spoke softly to her. "You're right. I should go look
for him myself and apologize." He went back to his common room to get his invisibility
cloak.
***
As Harry walked quickly to his dorm, he was stopped several times by people asking about
the phoenix. He just replied that he had to go somewhere and that he would tell them
tomorrow. Harry ran into the Common Room and bowled over Ron and Hermione in his
haste.
Ron and Hermione looked at each other once before following. They went up to find
Harry grabbing his invisibility cloak and the marauder's map. A phoenix was perched
upon Harry's bed. They looked over his shoulder.
"Harry, what are you doing?" Ron asked.
"Draco's gone missing and I'm going to find him and Orion."
"Who's Orion?"
Harry hesitated a bit before answering. "Draco's son."
"What! Malfoy has a son? What happened? Who's the mother?" Ron exclaimed loudly.
Hermione was silent. She then put two and two together. "Harry, who was the father?"
"Father? Is that even possible? Is his reputation as the Slytherin Slut true? Is-"
"Ron!" Hermione turned to Harry. "Do you know who the father is?"
"Dumbledore said it was me but I've never been with him before."
Ron's eyes went wide. Hermione quickly put a hand over his mouth before he could
talk. "Harry, I think you are the father." She quickly continued before Harry could
interrupt. "Before you got back together with Cho you were pretty much happy. I'm not
saying that you weren't happy when you got back with her but you did seem like you
were missing something."
"She talked to me before she had gotten back with you. I just know she did something
to you."
*Flashback*
Hermione went down to the gardens to see Cho. She had said that she wanted to talk
about Harry. As she reached the gardens, Cho was already there sitting by the fountain.
Hermione sat next to her.
"I asked you to come here because I wanted to see if you knew what Harry has been
doing the past four months," said Cho.
Hermione was puzzled. Of course she would know what he was doing after Cho had
broken up with him. "He seems happier then before and that's good enough for me."
Cho's eyes flashed. "You don't even know who he's been fucking? It's unnatural and
I will just have to fix it. He's not going to be fucking that slut anymore." She left.
Confused, Hermione went back to the Common Room to ask Harry who his new
girlfriend was."
*End of Flashback*
"And then you told me that you were back with Cho so I never figured anything of it,"
Hermione finished. "Harry, do you remember ever dating anyone the four months you
weren't with her."
Harry frowned. "I never dated anyone. Not as far as I can remember anyway."
"Harry, I just know she put a memory charm on you. I can get it off if you like?" Harry
didn't know what to do but decided that he wanted his memories back. Harry nodded.
"It's pretty easy but first we have to find Malfoy."
Hermione finally lifted her hand from Ron's mouth. "I can't believe you didn't tell us
when you remembered! What does your son look like?"
"Ron! We have to find Malfoy first. Harry, keep looking on the map."
Harry was already looking. "I found them. They're in a hidden room near the astronomy
tower."
They got under the cloak and headed toward the astronomy tower. It was near the top
so they climbed the stairs. There was a heavy crash above them and they could hear a
baby crying. Quickly they ran up the stairs. Harry did as the Marauder's map told him to.
The wall split apart and they gasped at what they saw. Harry stepped forward, fists clenched
and…
