Chapter 3: Am I pregnant?
The next morning, Harry woke up confused, a slight pain echoing in his scar. He didn't know what he had dreamt about, but he knew that Voldemort was happy or thrilled, or excited- he wasn't sure if the Dark Lord was capable of being happy, which wasn't a good thing. He had been doing Occlumency since sixth year. Dumbledore had tried convince Snape to teach him once more, and the potions master had reluctantly agreed after Harry had apologized for watching his memory. Snape had been surprised- Harry was actually fairly good at it. He could now keep Snape and Dumbledore out of his mind with ease. Voldemort couldn't get into his mind either, but he could still sometimes feel what Voldemort was feeling.
Harry was brought out of his thoughts when he was hit with a wave of nausea, and he bolted out of bed and ran to the bathroom.
I hate this, he thought miserably, his face in the toilet bowl.As soon as he was sure he was done throwing up, he decided to forgo going back to bed and took a shower and wait for Ron and Hermione in the common room.
After breakfast he went with his friends to the carriages to see them off and bid them goodbye and Happy Christmas. Ron kept trying to convince Harry to come with him, but he kept saying no, he was going to be fine by himself, and yes, he was going to be a good boy and stay safe. As soon as they entered their carriages and vanished in the distance, Harry slumped in relief. I need to go to the library.

He walked up to the library, trying to resist the temptation to just blow it off and believe that he wasn't pregnant, he just had some sort of wizarding illness. He finally made it to the oak double doors and pushed his way inside, beginning the expedition for the books on Male Pregnancy. After he had found a few reasonable looking books, he settled himself in the corner farthest from the check-out desk, where Madame Pince couldn't see him. He carefully placed the three books he had found in front of him, picking up the first one. It was about a man that had become pregnant and had documented the whole thing, conception to birth. It was very informative, but scary at the same time; to Harry, the thought of a man being pregnant seemed too surreal. He finished the book quickly, and picked up the second book, which was much thinner and written more like a frequently asked questions guide than anything. He opened the book, and began to read.
Why is Male-Pregnancy possible in the Wizarding World?
It is not only possible in the wizarding world, although it is far more common. The likelihood of male pregnancy all depends on whether a man is fertile or not, but as such, only extremely powerful wizards are found to be fertile. The greater the amount of magical energy possessed, the greater the chance the male has of being fertile. To be fertile implies that the man, like women, have all the equipment essential for pregnancy, but do not have to endure menstruation, as most women do. While the man is capable of being impregnated, it is important he remembers that he can also impregnate a women. In the wizarding world, most children get tested at a young age to check for fertility. While most young boys aren't, it must be done as a precaution, as most wizards in the wizarding world are bisexual. If they are indeed fertile and bisexual or homosexual, it is extremely important that they are aware of their 'gift' at a young age, and know to use protection and other precautions to avoid pregnancy. However, sometimes an accidental pregnancy may occur- it is rare, of course, but it is known to happen. Most wizards do not possess the magical capacity to be fertile, but it is always important to be tested for fertility.
What are the symptoms?
Approximately a month and half after fertilization, it is found that men, like women, have 'morning-sickness,' which is usually the first sign of pregnancy. However, men have 'morning-sickness' an estimated two weeks longer than women. There is also an increased appetite for strange and unusual combinations of food. In men, it has been found that hormones also tend to lash out of control, more so than with women, leaving men extremely prone to emotional breakdowns and violence. During the last two months of the pregnancy, even the slightest mistake or scene may set them into a violent rage. If you think you might be pregnant, but aren't sure, you can contact your medi-witch or wizard and request a pregnancy test, or you can easily test yourself by creating a male-pregnancy potion; the ingredients are listed in the index. (See page 61)
Other things you need to know?
Most Male-Pregnancies last about eight months, about a month less than female pregnancies. When a man is pregnant, it is essential he uses extreme caution when using magic. There is another human inside of him, who is also capable of using magic (especially in the last stages of pregnancy) and vast uses of magic may drain the child, possibly killing it before it has a chance to be born. When pregnant, a man should remain relaxed, as anger unleashes a wave of magical energy, generally consisting of the baby's magic, which may not result in death, but could leave the child to be a squib.
Harry continued to read about the correct diet to follow to ensure that the baby stayed healthy during pregnancy, tests to see if the baby would be a boy or a girl, and how to test to see if he would give birth to twins, which was extremely rare in men. He also read about the most important factor; how the baby would come out when it was due for birth.
When Harry had finished with the second book, he dropped it from his hands, tilting his head back to look at the elaborately painted library ceiling. He didn't even pick up the third book, he was too deep in his own thoughts. I might be pregnant. What if I am? What should I do? I'm too young to handle this by myself!. Should I tell someone? No, no, I can't- they would want to know who the other father was. I'm not ready for anyone the find that out. Besides if someone knew, Voldemort could find out. If he knew, he would kill me and my baby. But I might not even be pregnant at all- okay, I need to find that out first. Whatever the outcome, I'll go from there.
With that in mind, he wrote down the ingredients he would need to make the pregnancy test potion. He couldn't go the Madame Pomfrey; if he really was pregnant, there would be all kinds of questions, questions he wasn't in the mood to answer.
He left the library, casting a silencing charm on the books to keep them quiet as he left without checking them out, and made his way up to the Gryffindor Tower. He hid the books in his trunk and grabbed his invisibility cloak, the parchment with the ingredients for the potion, and the Marauder's Map and quickly left the tower. The only place he knew that would have the ingredients would be in Snape's cupboard- he was going to definitely need his invisibility cloak and map for that job.
His ingredient hunt was uneventful, and with the ingredients in hand he made his way back up to his dorm. The room was empty, everyone having left for winter break, so he was at ease to set up the cauldron and begin making the potion, checking and double checking that he was making the potion correctly, and he finally set it aside to cool (for three hours, as the instructions had said).
He decided to go down to the Great hall to have a late lunch; he was pretty hungry, and he wasn't in the mood the wait in the tower until the potion finished to eat. He wanted to keep his mind off of his current dilemma. He was almost positive that he was pregnant, and while it was just a feeling, he had to be sure.
Lunch had taken a lot less time than he had hoped, and he decided to pass more time by walking the Hogwarts Grounds. It was a good place to walk; it was easy to get lost in the scenery and clear his mind.
He eventually found himself by the lake, staring into its semi-frozen beauty. He stood, staring at the ice, so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't hear the approach of another person.
"Potter," Draco said in a surprisingly gentle voice.
Harry whirled around, ignoring the angry churning in his stomach at such a quick movement
"Malfoy- what are you doing here? You always go home for Christmas," Harry said, confused, but still civil.
"Yeah, normally, but do to. . .certain circumstances, I could not be home for Christmas this year." Harry nodded understandingly and didn't question him further.
They stood in silence for what felt like ages- it wasn't an awkward or reluctant silence- more of an understanding one, comforting, in a way. Harry was reluctant to admit that he would have to go back inside and take the pregnancy test- it was probably done.
"Well, um. . .I better go. I'll see you around, Malfoy." Draco turned and looked at Harry, grinning a bit in an extremely Malfoy-ish way.
"Yeah, you too. Oh, and Happy Christmas," he said, the last part spoken softly.
"You too," Harry said quickly. With that, he turned and left Draco, who appeared to be deep in thought.
Well, that was weird. I wonder what that was about? Harry didn't really dwell on it and made his way back to the Gryffindor Tower.
He sat on the floor next to his bed with a vial of the cooled potion in front of him. He was nervous about the outcome, although he already had a sinking feeling inside him that told him that he really didn't need to drink this potion. But he had to be sure. He had to do this. Alright, Potter, you can do it!
He picked up the knife he had brought with him from lunch and carefully cut the tip of his finger, letting three drops of blood fall into the potion, before he wrapped his finger in his robes. He carefully stirred the potion three times counter-clockwise and 5 times clockwise and waited. The potion was clear, for the time being. If it turned green he was pregnant, and if it turned red he wasn't.
After what seemed like an hour, the potion slowly started to change. From clear to…
Green.
He was pregnant.
Harry stared at the potion for a while, waiting for it to change, waiting for a sign to pop out saying 'Just kidding!' but nothing happened. It was green. He was pregnant. Harry took a deep, shuddering breath. I'm pregnant. I, Harry James Potter, am pregnant. I'm going to be a father. I can't do this by myself. I'm too young to do this by myself- but I can't tell anyone. If Voldemort found out, he would surely take it away from me. God, I wish I could tell Draco that he was going to be a father, but he would probably want nothing to do with it or with me. Harry bit his lip to keep the sobs in as tears streamed down his face. He took a deep breath again.
I can. I can do this. Even if I have to do this all by myself, I will protect my baby with my life. No one will take it away from me, and if Voldemort so much as touches a hair on it's head, I will kill him my bare hands.
Harry placed his hand protectively on his stomach, his eyes dazed. Don't worry, baby. I won't let anything happen to you. I'll protect you. Nobody will take you away from me. I just wish I could tell your other father about you, but he hates me. I'll take care of you, even if I have to do it all alone.
Harry got up from the floor, carefully disposing of the remaining potion in the showers. He collapsed on his bed, his head throbbing from everything he was feeling.
I'm going to be a father, was the last thought that entered his head before he drifted to sleep.
