CHAPTER 12

A few days later Draco, Remus and Evan were at St- Mungo's waiting for Harry to come out of surgery. He had already been on the operating table for two hours and should come out soon. Draco was sitting on one of the couches with Evan on his lap. They were talking quietly with Remus.

"So you're saying Draco that you've hired specialist to specifically find a cure for Harry's disease?" The werewolf was a bit dazed as to just how rich the Malfoys really were.

"Yes Remus, my family is worth billions of galleons; so funding shouldn't be a problem. Over the years I've made many good investments in the muggle and wizarding worlds so I've pretty much tripled the value of the Malfoy fortune. I don't use my title of Lord too often but if it will save Harry then I will use it to my advantage. I've just found Harry; I don't plan on loosing him again." Draco had a very determined look on his face.

Suddenly the doors opened and out came Healer Johnston who had taken over Harry's care at Draco's request. Draco got up and waited for the healer to give him the news.

"Lord Malfoy, Mr. Potter is doing well. The pacemaker as greatly relieved the stress on his heart. And with the strengthening potion that professor Snape has given us for Mr. Potter he should recover quickly. From what I saw from his heart is that it is still quite healthy. I just think that it was the stress of your reunion that made him seem worse. My best guess is that he has a good chance of living at least another seven to ten years with the help of this new potion. So already his life expectancy has doubled. I'm very hopeful that we will find a cure for Harry." The healer placed a comforting hand on Draco's shoulder. He was smiling at Draco who sunk back in his chair in relief.

"So now with that new potion that Severus whipped up it will extend his life for a few more years?"

"Yes, as soon that we gave it to him the color of his heart became more of a healthy red then the grayish pink it had been before. I will check it again in a few hours to see if it keeps getting better."

"Thank you Healer Johnston. This is good news indeed. Harry means the world to me." Draco gave one of his rare smiles to the healer.

Evan who had been listening smiled at the healer too and hugged his papa.

"Great papa, maybe now that daddy is getting better I can have a little brother or sister." Evan squealed in laughter as Draco started tickling him while being watched by a laughing werewolf.

Severus came into the waiting room where he found his arms full of an eleven year old boy who was sobbing on his shoulder whispering "Thank you, thank you."

"I take it from Evan's reaction that things went well?" He smirked at the only Gryffindor who had a bit of his respect.

Draco stood up and hugged his godfather leaving the other man a bit shocked at the sight. Severus who had always loved his godson like he was his own son took the hug and thanks graciously.

Draco stood back and explained to Severus what the healer had told them. Severus was very satisfied with his new potion. "I think that with time I'll be able to make that potion into a cure. There is just one thing that is blocking me and I just can't place my finger on it."

Evan hearing his dad and favorite professor speaking of potions came closer to hear what they were saying. He tugged on Severus' sleeve. "Maybe I can help you. I know a lot about potions and the different magic's that can affect them."

Severus smiled at the boy. (Such a smart boy, he must take that from Draco.) "Sure Evan next time I'm in my lab and you don't have class. I'll let you know and we can discuss this new potion."

Evan was practically jumping up and down. "Yes and I have a few ideas on how to make the wolfsbane potion better." At this Remus got up and placed his hands on Evan's shoulder.

"Evan what do you mean?" Asked the curious DADA professor.

"Well I was thinking that it should be made in a silver cauldron and drunk during the full moon while in wolf form. The reaction to the silver would cause the other ingredients to be more potent. I think that this could maybe cure your lycanthropy."

Severus was looking at Evan eyes wide with shock. (Damn why didn't I think of that?) The potion master started chuckling. "You'll make a fine potion master someday Evan."

The boy's eyes were shining brightly with happiness at the compliment. Being a potion master was his dream. At the age of eleven he was at the same level as the sixth and sometimes the seventh years. Severus had no doubt that the boy would even surpass his own skills after a few years of being apprenticed with a master. He had wanted to talk to Draco and Harry about taking the boy as his apprentice. He saw the look of pride in Draco's face when he looked at his son. Getting Draco to agree would be quite easy; getting Potter to agree might be something else. He was brought out of his thoughts when the healer came out and told them that they could visit Harry two at a time.

Draco and Evan went first of course. They followed the healer who led them to Harry's room. Harry was lying down but was fully awake and smiled when he saw his lover and son come into his room. Bandages were wound up tight around his chest. Draco sat in a chair next to him and held his hand.

"How are you love?"

"I feel much better. Actually I haven't felt this good in a long time."

Evan was getting impatient in getting his daddy's attention. "Daddy, I'm going to work with professor Snape in trying to find a cure for you." Evan came and sat on the bed next to Harry being careful not to hurt his dad.

Harry looked at his son with an indulgent smile. Evan seemed to notice that his daddy wasn't taking him seriously. "I'm serious daddy. I can make potions that are six and seven year levels. I want to be a potion master when I grow up."

"He's telling the truth Harry. He has a natural ability when it comes to potions."

Harry ruffled Evan's hair. "I guess you don't get your potion skills from me."

"No, I get my Quidich and DADA skills from you. I get my charms from grandmama Lily, my transfiguration from grandpa James and my potions form papa." Evan gave his dads a Malfoy smirk making the two adults laugh.

After everyone had visited they returned to school. Only Draco stayed behind to take care of Harry and discuss his case with the Healers. A few hours later Draco fell asleep on a cot that had been set up next to Harry's bed. The next day Harry would be moved to the Hogwarts infirmary for a few more days of rest.
