It's Time

Dude, who else would be daddy? Won't matter anyways. Quite a few things are going to happen in this chapter. I'm trying to finish this story up with 50 chapters. There's gonna be another sequel!

Leah started spending more time Harry and Ron. Even after Hermione and Ginny returned. They started acting like they did before Harry and Ginny, and Ron and Hermione became couples. The couples still did couple things together but now, whenever they went to Hogsmeade or were in classes, they always did stuff and stayed with Leah.

It put a hold on her fun with Draco but somehow she managed that as well. Although most nights were still the same as they used to be, just sleeping and kissing, but they also did more on other nights.

"God." Leah said, lying next to Draco. "Ok…I think we're even."

"With what?" Draco asked, looking down and playing with Leah's hair.

"I keep amazing you with songs…you keep amazing me with different things you do here." Leah said. Draco smirked. His hand trailed down the side of Leah's head, over her arm, then back up to her shoulder. Leah took his hand and turned his arm to look at the Dark Mark.

"Leah." Draco said. She looked at him. Neither of them said anything. Draco threaded his fingers through hers then brought her hand up so that he could kiss the scars on her wrist. Leah watched him before closing her eyes and falling asleep.

"March?" McGonagall asked, looking at Dumbledore.

"Yes…March." Dumbledore said.

"How did you find out?" McGonagall asked.

"I talked to someone who would know." Dumbledore said.

"Well then we must keep Leah and Draco apart for that month." McGonagall said.

"No." Dumbledore said.

"Why not?" McGonagall asked.

"Because she must go through this." Dumbledore said.

"Why are you so willing to risk the happiness and well-being of her just so that something you saw can come true?" McGonagall asked, angry now.

"Why should we interfere in what is to happen?" Dumbledore asked. "You think that I am willing to risk this? My dear professor…there is nothing that I am less willing to do. I would rather Leah have her baby and be happy. But it is supposed to happen. She learns something from this, like she has from all her other experiences."

"But…" McGonagall said.

"She will feel." Dumbledore said. "I know that you are worried that she might not feel. Like when Sabrina died, she barely reacted. Leah will react…not just because of the pain." McGonagall wasn't very happy about this. She frowned, turned on her heel, and left the office Whether she liked it or not, Dumbledore knew she wouldn't tell Leah.

Leah pushed open the door to her dorm and saw Hermione there. This wasn't a surprise…they had planned this. That's why, when Hermione rang the bell, Leah just threw on Draco's shirt and her shorts and went downstairs.

"So what did you wanna talk about?" Hermione asked.

"Nothing really." Leah said. "Just…the next quidditch match is against Slytherin."

"So?" Hermione asked. It dawned on her. "Oh!"

"I've already convinced Draco not to do anything that'll piss Harry or Ron off majorly." Leah said. "He made no promises, seeing as how if he gets the snitch before Harry then that would piss him off but Draco still wants to win."

"I see." Hermione said. "So what are you gonna do?"

"I dunno." Leah said. They heard a noise and looked up to see Draco come out of Leah's room only wearing pants.

"Lucky you." Hermione said. Leah looked at her. "You get the guy with muscles." Draco looked at the girls as they laughed. He just rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen. He was used to this already. This was the first time he had come down the stairs in minimal clothes though.

The quidditch came and was very close but Gryffindor won by ten points. Leah was surprised when, after the match, Draco was waiting outside the change room. Harry and Ron instantly went into protective mode but Draco only said a few words before leaving. The guys picked up on how much eye contact Leah and Draco seemed to have. Leah evaded all their questions with minimal difficulty.

Leah kept her end of the bargain. Draco managed to drag her away from her friends and up to their dorm to have his ways with her.

March came, as well as Draco's birthday. Leah wasn't sure how, but someway Draco managed to get out of having to do something with his family. So Leah got out of spending time with Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny so that she could plan a surprise for Draco.

"Just keep your eyes closed…is that so hard?" She asked, leading Draco by the hand up to his room.

"I'm not good with surprises." Draco said. He kept his eyes closed though. Leah opened the door, pulled him inside, then closed the door. "Can I open them yet?"

"No…hold on." Leah said. She let go of his hand. Draco leaned against the door and waited with his eyes closed. He was just about to open them when he felt Leah's lips on his own. When she pulled away, Draco opened his eyes and looked around the room. There were candles on most flat surfaces and even some floating in the air. "I figured that since we normally do it in the dark or really bright light…it would be nice to have candles."

"Where'd you get all these?" Draco asked.

"My grandparents' house before it was sold. My old house before it was sold, and when we were at my place I took some from there." Leah said. "They've been in different places in my room for a while now."

"Nice smells." Draco said. Leah smirked.

"You haven't said anything about how I look." She said. Draco looked at her. It was actually, surprisingly, the first time he had seen her naked. He had seen parts before, but those times weren't really about admiring each other. Leah's hair was down and, even though it was the same, slightly straight, slightly crimped style, it looked different. Draco lipped his lips and smirked. Leah tilted her head.

"You wanna know what I think?" Draco asked. Leah nodded. He grabbed her, yanked her up against his own body and kissed her hard.

Remus sat in the DADA office. Pretty much all the students that knew him from the four years ago were happy to see him, even though all of them knew he was a werewolf. They all found it very cool. He was alternating between grading papers and looking out the window. The full moon wasn't for another two weeks and he was a little more then edgy about it. He had already gone through two full moons since he returned to the school again but this one, Dumbledore said that he was thinking about having Leah do what Sabrina did, and that got Remus worried.

He couldn't help but remember what he did to Sabrina…so long ago. No one would believe the 'fell down the staircase' excuse this time. All the students knew, even the ones that came after Remus had left.

Remus had been there for two and a half months now and the only one he had talked to was Harry. Sure…Leah had told him what she had taught the classes before…but Draco Malfoy was there as well. Remus wasn't sure how to feel when he noticed that Leah and Draco were standing very close even though they weren't touching. When he had taught…Leah hated Draco and vise versa. And from what he had heard from Harry and Ron over the vacations, Draco was as big a jerk as ever. So what was going on?

"Relax Moony." Remus jumped up and looked around. There was no one there. "I said relax." He felt a hand on his chest push him back onto his chair. He blinked and there was Sabrina, sitting on the desk in front of him. But this wasn't Sabrina as he had last seen her…this was Sabrina as she was when they were all fifteen. Wearing her Hogwarts uniform of all things as well.

"Sas…" Remus said. Sabrina laughed. The sound was soft and musical and instantly made Remus relax.

"Oh god…it's been forever since I've been called that." Sabrina said. She wasn't exactly translucent, but she wasn't solid either. "So…how's things?"

"Why are you here?" Remus asked.

"My question first." Sabrina said.

"Well…uh…they're fine…I guess." Remus said.

"But…" Sabrina said, smiling and tilting her head. She acted as if she knew exactly what Remus was thinking.

"Leah's surprising me." Remus said. "I haven't talked to her verbally in a long time. Before you…"

"Died?" Sabrina filled in, helpfully. Remus nodded. "Yeah I know." Sabrina leaned back slightly. "I've been watching. She hasn't set foot in headquarters in quite some time either." Remus shook his head. "And she doesn't talk to anyone except for Hermione and Ginny and, only recently, Harry and Ron." Remus nodded slowly. "And she's secretly dating Draco." Remus started to nod but stop. He stared at Sabrina.

"What!" Remus said, jumping up again. Sabrina pushed against his chest with her foot to make him sit down again. "She's dating him?"

"Well…sorta." Sabrina said. "She really, really likes him. He loves her. She might love him if she could open up enough."

"And you're fine with this?" Remus asked.

"Why not?" Sabrina asked. "I mean…she's happy…isn't she?"

"Well…yeah…" Remus said. "What about Sirius?"

"What about him?" Sabrina asked, tilting her head again.

"What does he think about this?" Remus asked.

"Don't need to use Bright Eyes here to deliver messages." Remus was beginning to think he was going to have a heart attack when Sirius appeared next to Sabrina, looking fifteen as well and in his uniform too.

"What I do to get this?" Remus asked.

"We need your help." Sirius said.

"You guys have it. You know that. Always." Remus said.

"I told you he would help." Sabrina said, elbowing Sirius.

"Alright already." Sirius said.

"What do you need help with?" Remus asked. Sabrina and Sirius looked at each other.

"We need you to support Leah." Sirius said.

"I always have." Remus said.

"No, we mean really." Sabrina said. "Even if it's between her and Harry…you have to support Leah."

"There will be a time…soon." Sirius said. "And it has to do with Leah and Draco."

"You're ok with that?" Remus asked. "I mean…he's Lucius' son for crying out loud!"

"And he hates everything that they do." Sirius said.

"God…if you could see what we did…you would understand why we're fine with this." Sabrina said.

"Well…not completely on my half." Sirius said. "But I'm her dad so I'm allowed to act like that."

"Remus…we love you…and we love Leah." Sabrina said. "No matter how crazy her decisions may be…we need you to support them. Can you do that?"

"I…" Remus said.

"She needs someone on her side, Moony." Sirius said. "It's been too long. She has Hermione and Ginny to confide in with one thing…and Draco is her comfort."

"She's not going to have Harry…or even Ron when the time comes." Sabrina said. "Not for a while. Remus…you've always been there for her…and me. I need you to be there again for her."

"Of course." Remus said. Sabrina and Sirius looked relieved. Sirius hugged him before vanishing. Sabrina hugged him and kissed his cheek.

"By the way, Moony." She said, leaning back again. "All of us…Me, Sirius, Lilly, James…even my parents…we're all rooting for you and Tonks to pull through." Remus looked shocked as Sabrina vanished. Sure…she had said they were watching…but he had no clue they knew about him and Tonks. He became aware of the fact that he had tears running down his face.

Leah groaned and arched her back off the bed. Draco bent down to kiss her neck while he drove into her. Just for the hell of it, he tickled her side and Leah laughed before smacking his hand away. Draco looked down at her with a smile.

"I thought…" Leah said. "That this…was supposed to be…a romantic thing."

"Where's the fun in that?" Draco said. Leah smiled before closing her eyes and moving along with Draco. His pace quickened and soon they both had reached their climax.

"How many times is that now?" Leah asked, once they had caught their breath and were just lying under the covers.

"Lost count." Draco said, lying on his side and looking down at Leah.

"Hmm…me too." Leah said, smiling. "Oh well…happy birthday."

"Thanks." Draco said, leaning down and kissing her.

The next morning, Remus held Leah back in class. Leah wasn't the only one who was curious. Harry, Ron and Hermione asked her if she wanted them to wait for her but Leah shook her head, saying she wasn't sure how long Remus would want to talk so it would be better that they not be later for the next class as well. Draco raised an eyebrow but Leah just smiled at him so he left as well.

"What's up, Remus?" Leah asked.

"Nothing. Just haven't talked in a while and this seems to be the only way to do so." Remus said.

"So what you wanna talk about?" Leah asked, sitting on the desk…in the exact same spot and way Sabrina did the previous night.

"Uh…" Remus said, stuck by the memories of the night before. "Just that…I know we haven't been close for a while." Leah nodded. "I just wanted you to know that I'm there for you and whatever choices you make."

"Really?" Leah asked, looking surprised and relieved.

"Yeah." Remus said.

"What makes you say that?" Leah asked.

"Well…" Remus said. "Let's just say I got a visit." Leah raised an eyebrow. "You're going to be late."

"Oh fuck you're right!" Leah said, jumping off the desk. "Snape is gonna fucking murder me." She ran out of the classroom. She made it to potions just as the bell rang.

"Miss Black, you always seem to just make it." Snape said.

"Yep." Leah said. She went to her seat next to Draco. Snape started the class and soon everyone was busy making potions.

"Have you noticed something with Leah?" Ron asked, looking at Hermione.

"Umm…what about her?" Hermione asked.

"She's spending lots of time in her dorm." Ron said. Harry looked at them.

"So?" Hermione asked.

"And Malfoy's never really around anymore either." Ron said. "He's mostly in the dorm as well."

"So?" Hermione said, slowly and a little worried.

"You don't see the connection do you." Ron said.

"I think…whatever Leah does is her own business." Hermione said.

"Why would Leah do anything with Malfoy?" Harry asked. "She hates him."

"It was just a suspicion. I wasn't thinking." Ron said.

Leah woke up early about a month and a half later. Something felt different. She eased her way out of Draco's arms and walked into the bathroom. She stared at her reflection and poked different parts of her body. When she poked her stomach she knew something definitely wasn't right.

"Hmm…" Leah muttered. She walked back into Draco's room, found some parchment and left a note.

Draco,

Sorry I won't be here when you wake up. Something came up. It's not life threatening so don't worry. I'll see you later.

Leah

She left the note on her pillow before walking through the bathroom into her room and pulling on a black t-shirt and black jeans before brushing her hair, braiding it and pulling on a blue wristband. She walked out of her dorm and through the empty hallways. Her feet were leading her to the hospital wing.

Draco moved his arm and found empty air. He was awake instantly and sitting up. Then he spotted the note and grabbed it quickly.

"Not life threatening?" Draco muttered. He sighed. "She knows me too well."

Leah walked right into the hospital and knocked on Madam Pomfrey's office door. She walked a minute before the door opened.

"Miss Black. Do you have any idea what time it is?" Madam Pomfrey asked.

"No I don't but I need you to figure out what's wrong with me." Leah said.

"Are you alright?" Madam Pomfrey asked. Leah shook her head before turning around, walking, then sitting on her normal bed. Madam Pomfrey, looking confused, walked over to her.

A few magical tests were done that took about half an hour to do. No matter how fast the test was done…the results still took time.

"What are you excepting?" Madam Pomfrey asked.

"I don't know." Leah said. "But something's different. I think…" She shook her head. "I just want to make sure." Madam Pomfrey looked at her then nodded.

They got the results…it was exactly what Leah thought. She thanked Madam Pomfrey and asked her not to tell anyone before she headed to the great hall to get some breakfast.

"Well…it's happened." McGonagall said, walking into Dumbledore's office.

"Of course it has." Dumbledore said, looking grave.

"And it's going to die this month isn't it." McGonagall said.

"Yes." Dumbledore said.

"Can't we just…" McGonagall said.

"We don't know how Leah gets alone with Voldemort." Dumbledore said. "She could get kidnapped or she could walk into a trap."

"Leah wouldn't walk into a trap." McGonagall said. Dumbledore didn't say anything.

Leah was fast asleep, snuggled up against Draco in the workroom while he tried figuring out how the TV worked. He gave up and turned it off. He slid his fingers up and down Leah's arm and she moved closer to him. That's when he heard it.

"Guys she might be asleep! She didn't look too well earlier!" Hermione said.

"We have to ask her something." Ron said. Draco's eyes shot wide open. Leah's friends where in the dorm and coming towards the room. Hermione was talking loudly.

"Can't it wait?" Hermione asked. Draco was about to move off the couch when the door opened revealing Hermione, walking backwards, in front of Harry and Ron. The guys stopped dead in the tracks and Hermione spun around. Harry slammed the door which caused Leah to jump and wake up. She looked around, spotted Harry and Ron giving her evil looks, then dropped her eyes to the ground.

"Well that answers that question!" Ron said, loudly. Leah flinched and looked at them. "We thought Parkinson was lying."

"How the fuck would she know?" Draco asked.

"Oh I don't know. I think it has something to do with those!" Harry said, pointing at Leah's neck. Leah looked at the mirror on the wall then turned on Draco.

"You gave me hickies?" She asked.

"I wasn't thinking. Don't yell at me. You're the one that…" Draco said, stopping instantly before he finished his chain of thought.

"WHAT!" Harry and Ron both said.

"Guys…" Leah said.

"Don't 'guys' us!" Ron said. "I can't believe you!"

"You've been with him this whole time!" Harry said, pointing at Draco. "I thought we were your friends!"

"You are my friends!" Leah said.

"Then why would you do this?" Harry asked.

"I…" Leah said.

"How long?" Harry asked.

"I don't…" Leah said.

"HOW FUCKING LONG LEAH!" Harry shouted. Leah flinched. She had never heard Harry this mad at anyone.

"Technically…only this year." Leah said.

"Technically!" Ron said.

"Third year." Leah said.

"YOU WERE WITH HIM WHEN WE WERE TOGETHER!" Harry shouted. Leah backed away from him, looking scared.

"Now hold up one fucking second Potter!" Draco said, stepping around Leah.

"Back off Malfoy." Harry said.

"No bloody way." Draco said. "You can yell and scream at me all you want but there is no way you can do that to Leah and expect me to let you get away with it."

"Oh yeah?" Harry asked, walking forward. Draco started moving but Leah grabbed him.

"Don't!" She said. Hermione had grabbed hold of both Ron and Harry. They turned on her.

"You knew about this didn't you?" Ron asked. Hermione looked at Leah.

"She's known since the Christmas holidays." Leah said. "Draco was at my house and Hermione's parents died so I said she could live with me."

"Does anyone tell us anything anymore?" Harry screamed.

"No because you take everything badly!" Leah screamed back. She tugged hard on Draco's arm before pushing him down onto the couch. "Stay…down." She looked back at Harry and Ron.

"Why?" Ron asked. At least he wasn't yelling. Leah just shrugged and shook her head.

"You've been secretly dating Malfoy for the last four years!" Harry said.

"No I haven't." Leah said.

"You just said that you were!" Harry said.

"She didn't!" Draco said. "All she did was say 'third year'."

"Stay out of this." Harry said.

"Make me!" Draco said, getting up.

"Stay down!" Leah said, pushing Draco back down. "This is bad enough. I don't need you and Harry fighting each other."

"We already are Leah!" Harry said, starting to shout again.

"Well if you'd listen to me for one fucking second then you wouldn't be!" Leah shouted. "God! You never listen."

"If I never listened then I wouldn't be here!" Harry said. "What is this with you and Malfoy, huh?"

"It's…I…" Leah said, looking between Draco and Harry.

"What are you doing? Fucking him?" Harry asked. "You're turning into the bloody Parkinson of Gryffindor!" That was it. Draco was gone from the couch and had jumped at Harry. Hermione's hold on Ron increased as he tried to help Harry.

"Leah do something!" Hermione said.

"Fine!" Leah said. She took out her wand and pointed it at Ron. "Ron I'm really sorry about this but…petrificus totalus!" Ron went completely stiff and Hermione dragged him over against a wall. She ran over next to Leah as they watched Harry and Draco fighting. Harry took out his wand. "Expelliarmus!" His wand, plus Draco's flew into Leah's hand, also throwing both guys away from each other. Leah wasn't sure which one she should go to so she just stood with Hermione. Both guys stood up, Hermione unfroze Ron.

"Leah." Harry said. Leah took a step back, away from him. She was becoming afraid of her own friend. That's when she remembered.

"I believe that a bigger break in friendship would be having to choose between your friend and someone or something else." Dumbledore said. "Unable to choose, your friend would just walk away."

This was it. She had to choose…but she couldn't.

"Leah this is messed…even for you." Harry said. "Dating Zambini was bad enough but Malfoy?"

"What do you want me to do, Harry?" Leah asked.

"Pick." Harry said.

"What?" Leah and Hermione both said.

"You can't ask me to choose between you guys." Leah said, waving her hand between Harry and Draco.

"I just did." Harry said.

"I can't do that." Leah said, she was on the verge of tears now. Why did her damn prophecy have to come true?

"Don't think crying is going to change anything!" Harry said.

"I'm not!" Leah said. "Why such a sudden interest in my life, huh? You wouldn't have cared at the beginning of the year."

"Well look where we are…the end of the year!" Harry said. "You can't choose?"

"No!" Leah said.

"Fine…then I'll do it for you!" Harry said. He turned and left. Ron followed him, giving both Leah and Draco evil looks. Leah broke down and fell to her knees, crying. Draco was at her side instantly with his arms around her.

"I'll try talking to them." Hermione said. Draco just nodded and Hermione left. He wasn't sure how long he and Leah were on the floor but he was pretty sure that, even though she stopped crying eventually, she didn't fall asleep. Draco looked around the damage of the room caused by his and Harry's fight. He had a few cuts and a black eye from that fight. Harry got the worse though. He wasn't expecting it so Draco broke his glasses and gave him a black eye. He was probably in the hospital wing now getting glass pieces out of his face.

"I'm sorry." Leah muttered. Draco looked down at her. She wasn't looking at him.

"Sorry for what?" Draco asked.

"Everything." Leah said. Draco just hugged her tighter and muttered things to her.

So much for telling him about the baby.

Wow…long chapter. 13 pages. I told you there would be a lot in here.
