You say everything when you say nothing
Chapter thirteen
In all honesty Harry was feeling a bit better when he awoke on the 24th December; he for once didn't feel the urge to throw up. This was fortunate because when he turned over he was met by his lovers gaze.
"You're awake early." Harry said placing a soft kiss on Draco's lips.
"Well I'm following your sleeping patterns, so why do you always wake up so early?"
"Light sleeper" Harry replied making up any old excuse to try and distract Draco. He then decided a better distraction would be to kiss him and hope he'd forget about the conversation. But he didn't he pushed Harry away gently and looked at him.
"I know you Harry, you'd sleep if the entire wizarding world was shouting 'we love you Harry' at the same time."
"Well I did have to put up with Seamus' snoring, you kind of get used to blocking things out."
Harry once again in a vain attempt to distract Draco tried to kiss him but he was having none of it.
"You look different Harry."
"Silencio." Harry said and Draco had mouth the remainder of his sentence which was going to be 'you'd tell me if there was anything wrong, wouldn't you?'
Then Harry finally got his morning kiss that he had been dying for. However it turned into something more passionate, Draco's hand was sliding down into the Gryffindors boxers.
This time it was Harry to push away. He undid the silencing spell and got up heading towards the bathroom.
"Harry what's up with you, you've been acting so strangely recently." Draco said going after his departing lover.
"It's nothing, there's nothing wrong I'm fine."
"Promise."
"Promise."
"Can I join you for a shower then?" Draco asked trying to read Harry's facial expressions, not an easy task any more.
"Um, not this morning, I'm still a little tired."
"then come back to bed with me."
"Can I please just have a shower alone...please Dray?" He said giving his best puppy dog eyes.
"Alright but Harry it still feels as if your keeping something from me and I don't like it, next time I ask you please don't lie to me."
Harry watched sadly as Draco walked out of the bathroom shutting the door with a sharp snap. He hated this, he didn't want him and Draco to fight about anything but he wasn't sure how to tell the blonde or even if he wanted to yet.
He turned on the shower and began to remove his t-shirt and boxers. Much to Draco's confusion he had taken to wearing actual pyjamas to bed recently.
Harry stepped into the warm water letting it run over him. He ran a hand over his slightly swollen belly. It felt strange, to know that there was life there. This was the reason he and Draco couldn't do anything, it was frustrating and painful to keep rejecting him but the Gryffindor courage he had once owned seemed to have deserted him completely.
While he was still in the shower he heard the door bell ring, he knew Hermione was meant to be turning up at sometime that day but he hadn't expected her to use the door bell.
He heard voices downstairs and immediately recognized hers. There was also a deeper more masculine voice that didn't belong to his Draco.
Getting out of the shower he dried himself, dressed and went downstairs to see who it was that had accompanied Hermione to Godric Hollow.
When he entered the kitchen he saw that standing around talking was Hermione, Draco and none other than Victor Krum.
"Hey Harry." She said going over to him and embracing him.
"Hi, how are you?" He asked startling her, he looked her over where her stomach had expanded to. While still hugging her he whispered softly so the others couldn't hear. "I need to talk in private."
"Come on, we'll see you boy's later, I want to catch up with Harry alright."
The two of them walked out the back door and headed around the grounds. Harry needed privacy to tell her his secret.
"So what is I Harry, I assume you can tell me, your speaking is amazing."
"Thanks, Draco's amazing, he's done so much for me. However I have a slight problem."
"Which is?" Hermione paused but Harry said nothing. "You can tell me anything, I'd understand." When she looked over at her friend she realised he was crying.
"Oh Mione, I don't know what to do, I know when Draco finds out he's going to leave me, I couldn't bare it if he did."
"Finds out what, it can't be that bad.""I'm pregnant Mione."
"You haven't told him, Harry he has a right to know, I doubt he'll leave you."
"It just feels like we're not a permanent, like he's only here because of the sex, he's been really moody recently because I've been saying no because I didn't want him to find out."
"How about I casually drop into the sentence how well my pregnancy is going and ask him if he's ever wanted kids and then we'll see where we go from there."
Harry nodded. "That would be great, thank you for being so supportive."
"Isn't that what friends are for?"
The four of them sat down to lunch a few hours later all talking happily. Draco had made a variety of different sandwiches for them to enjoy. Funnily enough it was the blonde to bring up the subject of children.
"So Mione how's the baby?" He asked.
"Oh wonderful, as soon as Victor heard I was pregnant he left his wife and came to me, I can't wait to have kids." She replied, after a second's pause she casually asked. "Do you want children?"
"I don't know, I've never really thought about it."
"Excuse me for a moment." Harry said standing up suddenly and making a dash for the stairs.
Draco hadn't made it sound like a negative positive at all and that made Harry even more depressed.
Hermione went to follow her friend upstairs but Draco motioned for her to sit back down and that he'd go.
He found Harry crying in their room, he immediately went to comfort him wrapping his arms around Harry's waist. The Gryffindor pulled away instantly but it was to late.
