Chapter 5
Instead of the said one hour, Blaise Zabini still hadn't awoken after more than a day. Harry only left her once, when Dumbledore himself wanted to speak with him in private. Dumbledore had taken Harry to his office, and sat him in a chair, they had waited for about five minutes before Professors McGonagall and Snape had entered. And then the interrogation had begun. It was Snape who started it
"Potter, do you have any idea of the danger that you have put Miss. Zabini in?"
Harry leapt to his feet and began to shout at the potions master "Of course I know, do you think I'm stupid? We both knew the dangers of having a relationship at the very beginning." Harry was interrupted by Dumbledore
"Harry, settle down, we only want to know how you managed to keep this from everyone for so long..." He had left the sentence hanging as hoping that Harry would start talking.
"I am not going to tell you anything. If, and only if, Blaise wants to talk, then I will let her tell you what every she wants but until then I'm not saying anything." Harry had said "And if that's all then can I please leave, I want to be there when she wakes up."
Snape had moved in front of the door and begun to smirk "I don't think so Potter, you impregnated one of my students, you put her in danger."
Harry's temper hit the roof and he roared "IT'S YOUR HOUSE I'M PROTECTING HER FROM. IF YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD HEAD OF HOUSE YOU WOULD HAVE CONTROL OVER THE REST OF YOUR STUDENTS, WE HAD TO HIDE BECAUSE HALF OF YOU PRECIOUSSLYTHERINS ARE REPORTING BACK TO THEIR DEATH EATER PARENTS,SO I WILL TELL YOU NOTHING!"
To the disbelief of the other occupants in the room Snape stayed calm "I am not going to let you leave this office without an explanation. So sit." Harry stayed standing, but didn't say another word, hoping that if he stayed silent he would be released sooner.
"Now, Harry, I think we would all like to know how this happened." Professor McGonagall said.
Harry smirked and began "Well, you see professor, when two people love each other very much..."
The conversation had gone on and on like that but they never managed to get the truth out of Harry. And there Harry was sitting, holding his pregnant girlfriends hand and praying that she would wake up soon.
It was half an hour later when Harry heard a soft whimper from the bed and Blaise's eyes fluttered open. Harry didn't give her a chance to say anything but enveloped her in a hug, she clung to Harry's back sensing his unease and said "What happened?"
"What do you remember?" Harry replied
"My stomach glowing, why was my stomach glowing? Am I sick?" Blaise was getting hysterical,
"You're not sick" Harry comforted rubbing soothing circles on her back and holding her tight. "But you are pregnant..."
At these words Blaise broke down and began to sob openly, sinking into the warmth of her boyfriends embrace, her hot tears soaking his shirt. " I can't be, I mean, what will my parents say?"
"Baby, it'll be alright, I'll look after you. I won't let anyone hurt you."
Harry sat himself back onto the bed behind Blaise and continued to hold her until Madam Pomfrey came bustling into the room and snapped at him "Mr. Potter I think that it's time you left." Blaise whimpered still shaken and not letting go of Harry's hands.
"Please Madam Pomfrey, I need him to stay."
"No, absolutely not, this is a proper examination not a talk. He can wait on the other side of the curtain."
"Harry, I'm scared..." Blaise whispered one hand flying to her stomach, Harry held her tight for a moment, his larger slightly scarred hand resting on her delicate one. "I love you and Madam Pomfrey will look after you, there is nothing to worry about." She nodded weakly in response.
Harry slipped off the bed and said "It'll be alright I promise I'm right on the other side..."
After three miniutes of pacing Harry established that there was a silencing charm on the curtains and after half an hour Ron and Hermione entered the ward Harry stopped pacing
"Harry, there you are. Are you coming to dinner?" Hermione asked in her motherly way.
"I'm not leaving." Harry said glancing at the curtains surrounding his pregnant girlfriends bed.
"Come on Harry, there is no need to starve yourself." Said Ron
"Yes Ron there is. My girlfriend is in there and I don't know what's going on." Harry said beginning to pace again
"So you don't know what's wrong with her?" Hermione said
"There is nothing wrong with her." Harry said
"Well if there is nothing wrong with her, why are you so worried?" Ron said
"Because...because, she's..."
"She's what Harry?" said Hermione
"Harry you can come in now." Madam Pomfrey's voice floated through the newly lifted silencing charm
"None of your bloody business that's what." Harry said tweaking open the curtains of the sectioned off room, and stepping through, closing them roughly behind him.
Inside the room Blaise was laying on the bed, her dark ringlets splayed about her head and her chest rising and falling with the deep breaths that only sleep can bring.
"Is she going to be alright?" Harry asked "Why did it take so long for her to wake up?" Is the baby alright?"
"Calm down Mr. Potter, it was only a slightly extreme reaction for someone who is expecting twins."
Harry stopped listening; his brain was too busy comprehending what he had just been told. I'm going to be a father, I'm only seventeen and I'm going to be a father TWICE. What am I going to do? What would my parents think? What would Sirius think? Well Sirius would be proud that I had lost my virginity but this is extreme...what am I going to do? And, oh shit, fucking shit hell, Voldemort is going to want to hurt me even worse now...and to hurt me he know to hurt the ones that I love...
"Mr. Potter are you listening?"
Harry slowly shook his head, and glanced once again at the slight figure of his girlfriend her hands clasped unconsciously over her abdomen.
"Why is she asleep? She was just asleep for a whole day?" Harry asked worriedly
"The potion took a lot out of her, which was why she slept for so long earlier but this," she gestured to the bed "is dreamless sleep, I needed her to be asleep for the last of the examinations. She should be awakening just about..."
Blaise turned her head and groaned, and her eyelids fluttered open, she smiled slightly and her left hand rubbed her still flat stomach. Harry grinned at her, and swooped down to give her a kiss "I love you, so much" he whispered to her lips
"I love you too." She whispered back.
The curtains rustled slightly as Madam Pomfrey leftand they knew that they were alone
"Were going to be parents," Harry said
"I know," Said Blaise "I'm scared"
"I'm scared for you and the babies" Harry said "more so than ever before."
"Why more so now?" Asked Blaise
"Voldemort will do anything in his power to get to you." Harry said by way of explanation
"But he doesn't know about us, so don't worry."
"I don't know about my house mates but yours are smart enough to realise that I love you, I kissed you in the great hall for goodness sake. As soon as they get the chance they are either going to owl their parents or tell him about us themselves."
"Well, I'm safe now, and that's what matters." Harry smiled and crawled up onto the bed with her. Her knees curved around his, their bodies moulding together as if they were made to be that way.
After several minutes of silence Harry said "So when are you due?"
A/N: hope you enjoyed it...oh and a poll... I don't know what animagus form to give Harry... what do you think?
Lots of Love,
