Chapter six
Emerald received a letter the following morning; her eyes began to tear as she read.
Dearest Emerald,
I know that you will not have forgotten me even though I technically do not exist any longer; I see that doing this is for the best as we would be forced into battle if I had not and I could not kill you, I hope that you feel the same. I ask you that you do not cry as the damage that I have already done is perhaps irreversible, tears should not be shed on my account, I am the son of murderer and not worthy of them. So now I say goodbye to you Emerald, I hope for both our sakes that we never meet again.
Harry Potter, our saviour, keep a close eye on Draco or you will soon lose him, do not fret if you do, I told my father that to hurt you more he should keep him alive, but I do not know if he will take my word. I do not wish to see the father of Emerald grieving any more than he should.
Remember that love isn't just a feeling; it shapes who a person is.
Jarrod
She of course went straight to Dumbledore to report it; she was practically in tears when she reached the gargoyle. The headmaster sat her down and handed her a cup of tea which she drank gratefully, the calming potion within took effect at once and Dumbledore was finally able to make sense of what she was saying.
"Are you very sure that Jarrod failed to be conceived?"
"Yes, I don't think he told Tom that it had to be done and he did it for me."
"What would be the purpose of that?"
"That would make me the ultimate power … without Jarrod I will be the most powerful magical being in the world."
"Are you going to tell me what that entails my dear?"
"There is - will be - a prophecy, my dad, Harry, he told me about it, at first he didn't believe but you convinced him that it was in fact possible."
"What was possible?"
"The ultimate power on earth will have control of the sword, not just any sword, thee sword from the legend of King Arthur although it has not of yet been located."
"This is all becoming rather confusing, would you be disagreeable to Harry being summoned here to my office so that we may tell him the good news about his pregnancy?" Dumbledore asked the girl who thought for a moment.
"I don't see why there would be any harm in it; there is nothing that he can do to prevent it." She said, "I would very much like to see his reaction."
"And may I know the identity of your other father so that I may also summon him?"
"Of course but would you not prefer to tell Harry first?"
"I quite agree, I suppose that that means I will be in the dark for a while longer." Emerald smiled and nodded, it wasn't often someone had power over the old man and she was enjoying every minute of this.
Harry mean while, having woken up in the room of requirement wrapped in Draco's possessive embrace was now taking the chance to shower while the blonde slept, little did he know that the blonde wasn't actually asleep any more. Draco soon joined his boyfriend in the shower.
"Last night was nice." Draco purred into Harry's ear as he hugged him from behind, "more than nice."
"Yes, it was." Harry replied, he did not know how to put it into words but somehow he felt a little different today although he couldn't really think why.
"So does that make up for all those years of my taunts and jeers?"
"You've certainly made it up to me, now you just have to make it up to my other friends." Harry said turning himself around so that he could face the blonde.
"Alright but can I find some other way of doing it because I don't fancy becoming the Gryffindor bike"
"I don't recall you doing much riding Draco." Harry said teasingly.
"No that was your department, meaning you're the girl in this relationship."
"Just wait until tonight, I'll show you who the girl of this relationship is." Harry said as he began to kiss Draco feverishly, the Slytherin pushed Harry back against the wall, water pouring down upon them soaking their hair and bodies.
"Who said we had to wait until tonight." Draco said suggestively, he began to nibble at the nape of Harry's neck.
Minerva had been summoned to the headmaster's office and then asked to locate Potter however she could not find him anywhere, although Ron and Hermione had very helpfully checked on their magical map and told him exactly where she could find him.
She had of course heard of the room of requirement being in existence but had never before come across it in all her years of teaching. When she reached the tapestry that Ron and Hermione had explained to her she stopped and did as she had been instructed to do from the aforementioned Gryffindor's.
Harry and Draco were not prepared for their transfiguration teacher to walk in on them at that moment, Harry had been down on his knees and giving Draco what he would classify as the best blowjob that he had ever received.
Minerva screamed and ran out of the room that she had just entered, never would she be able to erase that memory from her mind, not that she hadn't slightly enjoyed it, she was only human after all but even the thought that she had taken a minuet amount of pleasure in seeing that disgusted her.
Moments later Harry came out to find her, he was wearing jeans but little else and Minerva was glad to see that he looked a little abashed at the fact she had seen.
"The headmaster wants to see you Potter." She said her voice not nearly as stern and commanding as it usually was, after what she had seen she questioned whether the use of surnames was needed. Maybe if she just pretended that it never happened she could keep her sanity.
"Okay, I'll, umm, be there in a few minutes." Harry informed her before disappearing back into the room of requirement; probably to finish what he started but Minerva didn't want to go into too deep thought on that. Instead she swept off to inform the headmaster that she had delivered the message and then to find Severus so that he could supply her with a potion to remove her memory or perhaps cast a memory charm on her.
Harry entered the headmasters office exactly twenty two minutes later, his hair was still a little damp from the shower and Dumbledore looked a tad amused at Harry's appearance.
"You wanted to see me Sir." He enquired while noticing that Emerald was present and the fact that the headmasters eyes had that odd twinkle present, the twinkle was something that Harry had become very aware of over the past year, it meant that the headmaster was up to something or was especially pleased about something that was going his way or in tune with his plans.
"Yes, please take a seat, lemon drop?"
"Erm, no thank you" Harry said politely. "Can I ask what this is about?"
"Of course, although I doubt that I am going to explain this well, I have never had to tell any one before now."
"That's quite alright; I assume that you don't want me to baby-sit Emerald again then."
"No, although I suppose that she will be in your company a lot more now."
"Okay, why is that?"
"That is not the point, now where shall I begin to explain?" There was a moment of silence where Dumbledore thought things through. "I know, I will ask how your weekend was, how was it Harry?"
"Not bad." Harry replied, not quite following the conversation and quite worried about where the headmaster was taking this.
"Do anything interesting?"
"Went on a date"
"Really, who with?" The headmaster enquired casually.
"Draco Malfoy Sir"
"Is that so" Albus said sending Emerald a significant glance that made Harry even more confused.
"Yes, that is so, can I go now?"
"No dear boy, I haven't got to the point yet." The headmaster said happily, "Did the date end well?"
At this question Harry blushed, "I would say that it did, yes." He bowed his head so that neither occupant to the room would see his reddened cheeks.
"Well, that is excellent, Harry I think congratulations are in order."
"What for, please don't tell me that in the wizarding world there is a strange custom that whenever a witch or wizard loses their virginity they celebrate."
Both Emerald and Dumbledore looked at him strangely, that was certainly more information than Emerald could handle, she really didn't want to know about her fathers sex life that was just positively gross!
"No, no, no dear boy, we are celebrating because you are going to have a baby."
"What?" Harry asked, "No, you see to have a baby it would mean that I like girls and would have slept with a girl, I didn't, I slept with Draco who is very much a guy … well he kinda slept with me but you get the point where neither of us can be pregnant." Harry said, well it was more of a ramble but either way he was very wrong.
"Powerful wizards have the ability to create a magical womb inside of themselves, the baby can then survive by feeing on the wizards magic."
"But … but … but … I CAN'T BE PREGNANT!" Harry almost shouted, "It isn't possible … I'm still a teenager … what is Draco going to say?"
"If it helps he stands by you, you get married in the future." Emerald said, speaking for the first time since Harry had entered.
Harry once again looked confused as he asked, "But you can't know that I'm pregnant, I mean I only slept with him last night, it's too early to tell, right?"
"That would of course be true in normal circumstances but once again they do not seem to apply to you, you see, Emerald wouldn't be here if you weren't pregnant." The headmaster explained to a now very confused Harry.
"Do you mean that …"
"Yes, Emerald is your daughter from the future, which is why she is so powerful."
Harry had gone into overload, the information was far too much for him to handle, it was in fact rather lucky that he was sitting down still as he passed out. Dumbledore sighed and fire called Poppy, he then instructed Emerald to go and find Draco and to drag him up to the hospital wing so they could have a nice long discussion.
