"Quintuplets?" Draco asked the next month.
Surely this had to be the 500th time he's mentioned it, Harry thought. He smiled. It was fun pulling a simple joke, but it had gone on to long.
"Draco, I lied."
"No Quints?" Harry grinned.
"Just one, Draco." Harry took a seat next to the fire. They were in their room again. Harry had opted to spend a lot of time in there lately. It didn't matter whether or not Draco was there. Usually the blonde man roamed around the school; spying on
students or trying to find things on their new enemy in the library. Very rarely was spying ever related to research.
Draco looked eagerly at Harry as he sat opposite him.
"Do you know wheter it's a girl or a boy, Love?"
"Haven't a clue."
"We could always go see Madam Pomfrey. She might be able to tell."
"Didn't we decide with Alisa and Alex that we weren't going to attempt to find out the sex?" Draco pondered this as he stared
into the entrancing fire.
"Well," he started, "Yes, but that was last time."
Harry nodded his agreement. Yes, that was true. It was last time. They could go see Madam Pomfrey. Harry was almost positive she had a spell for it. Hermione and Ginny had used it with Pokin. They had been thrilled with the answer.
"We'll go ahead and do it, Draco"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Madam Pomfrey greeted the two when they knocked. They quickly explained the situation.
"I was afraid there would be a side effect. It seems that the potion will randomly begin to w ork, but I suppose it's only a theory."
"Poppy, can you tell us the gender?" Draco asked.
"Oh no. I'm afraid not, Mr. Malfoy."
"Draco, please. You've known me since I was eleven. No need to be formal."
"Alright then. Still, there's no way to tell until the baby forms more. Contrary to popular belief, there is not a spell. I use muggle technology."
"You mean a sonogram?" Harry asked. He didn't think that was a possibility. He had been gone from muggles for so long...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It's time." Kokariya said to herself. "I will attack at dawn."
She stripped herself of her firey dress and clothed herself in leather and dragonhide. She took up a pair of daggers and holstered them. She strapped a bow and arrow set on her back. She filed her nails short, but razor sharp. One of her manymottos was:
"If all else fails, claw them to death!"
Yes, she was ready. She would overtake the castle and... and... why the hell was she fighting anyway? What was the point?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The clouds darkened over the rising sun. In all honesty, it was a simple spell on Kokariya's part, but did seem slightly frightening. Up in the clastle, Harry felt her presence. He knew it was time, and he was glad. It would be good to get it over with early in the
school year. Harry took up his sword and went to the front doors. Soon, it would end. Soon, she would be gone. Soon, soon, he wouldn't have to fight again. He hoped, at least.
Draco appeared by his side.
"You shouldn't be doing this."
"I have to. Who else will?"
"Good question..."
"I want to know how she discovered where the castle is." said a voice. Sirius stood behind the two.
"With our luck, we'll never know." Harry answered.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I don't know really."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"She's here, Harry."
"Good luck."
"Draco tilted Harry's head and kissed him gently. "I Love You."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry stood, wind whipping his robe, on a hill. Kokariya drew a dagger.
"I have no desire to fight you, boy!"
"Then why are you?"
"Because I want to know the point of Chapter Eleven!"
"How am I supposed to know it?"
"I don't know!"
"Well, can you leave?"
"NO!!! We have to fight!"
Harry sighed and ran a hand through his messy hair. "Must we?"
"Yes, I want revenge."
"For what?"
"I dunno, ... It's a hole in the plot."
"Damn." Harry held out his sword.
"A sword? Fuck! My dagger's no use! Nooo!! Damn you!"
"Problems Kokariya?"
"Screw you! I'm leaving!!" Kokariya dropped her dagger and stormed off of the castle's grounds. The wind still whistled, and blew violently, but Harry stood, watching her retreating backside. Things had been quite strange since Alisa and Alex's train trip
to school, very strange indeed. Harry turned and fought the wind as he walked back to the school. He opened the front doors and was greeted by Draco.
"Hey." Harry smiled.
"You're always the hero Harry. Always a dominating force."
"But not at home" Harry winked, " Though, I didn't do anything this time."
That was it. There was no fight, the whole ordeal was quite anti-climatic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Five days later, Draco wrapped his arms around Harry's shoulders and whispered into his ear: "I love you."
"Ah, nice to know." Harry smiled.
"So... you're sure it's not quintuplets?" Harry smacked him.
