Chapter Eight Paper Aeroplanes And Post Its

Severus stared at Lucius. "Did you just say what you think I said? Did you just associate your sons condition with yourself?"

Lucius smiled like a mad man. "I know! Isn't it just the most, so say the least!"

"The very least." Severus uttered. He stared at the mad grin on Lucius' face. "Have you been drinking? A dark curse gone to your head? Being without Narcissa sent you over the edge? Dropped on your head as a child? There must be some explanation for it."

"Actually, it's a little thing that I like to call sex. It usually results in pregnancy... especially when you want it to." Lucius said smugly. "Step out of the way, I'm coming through." He added. Severus stepped back and Lucius walked through the fire. He looked around. "This place is still far to small."

"Okay. So you're pregnant. Whose the father?" Severus asked prudently. Lucius smiled like a little girl and whispered into Severus' ear. "Oh." Severus said, and promptly feinted.
Draco woke up on his sofa, with a terrible nasty back ache. He scowled and crawled off the sofa, looking around at his messy room. On the floor was the note that Madame Pomphrey had sent to him. He pisked it up and perced on the edge of his bed to read it:

Dear Mister Malfoy,

It seems that the powers that be have awoken again. Their main targets are you and Harry. Keep away from him or you could end up in a spot of trouble.

Yours, Madame Pomphrey.

"Well it's a bit bloody late for that." He said to himself. He threw the letter on the floor and looked at the window. He squeaked rather loudly and fell off of his bed. "God damn bloody owls! Do you seriously have nothing better to do! Bugger off!" he shouted at the offending owl.

The owl gave an offended hoot, dropping a note on his windowsill and taking off into the early morning light. Draco mumbled every dirty word he could think of as he went over and picked up the note. He sat on his bed again and unfolded it:

Dear My Darling Draco!

I'm staying with Uncle Severus!! Come down and see me.

Love you lots baby!

Luv Daddy xxx

"He's been drinking again." Draco uttered to himself. A paper aeroplane flew in through the window and landed in his lap. He unfolded it and read:

Draco,

Your father has lost his mind. I need your help. I think we are going to have to restrain him or something, he is really loosing it.

Yours Severus.

"Would anyone else like to send me a stupid note?!" Draco shouted to anyone that happened to be listening... and that was when it happened... that was when he happened to see it... a post-it. There it was. All bright yellow and square shaped. Stuck to the back of his door. "Well isn't that cute." Draco drawled, ripping the note off the back of the door.
"You alright? You've gone a bit of a weird colour." Ron said shooting a concerned glance at a rather pale Harry. Harry jumped a little at the sound of his name and looked round.

"Yeah. Just lost in my thoughts I guess."

Hermione seemed to be on so sort of permanent high. In fact, she had camped out on Harry's bedroom floor so that she could go on and on about being pregnant. And despite the fact that she had no sleep the night before, she was still bouncing around the common room. "I wonder if it'll be a boy or a girl? What do you want it to be Harry?"

"Healthy?" Harry replied. There was a long silence and Harry stood, looking out of the window. "I wonder if he found my note."
"What the hell is the matter with you?!" Severus cried. Lucius was jumping on his bed.

"You have to try these! They are soooo tasty!" Lucius shouted and dug his hand into his pocket. He threw a handful of Maoam Strips at Severus.

Severus dejectedly shook his head. "It's going to be a bloody long night."

[The Marauders Dragon] Please don't cry! I just had to get each side of the story across because this story is generally humorous, but there are some serious emotions!

[Kitty Minky] Oh that poor gurl (the black eye one). Give her my best. And that poor gurl (the young pregnant one) it is a shame when things like that happen. At least Draco is rich. I love you to Kitten!
