Chapter eleven
Nick came back with a potion vile filled with a creamy white substance, he was looking at the two in awe. Carrie quickly took the potion and ushered Nicholas out of the room and closed the door but not before she made him promise not to tell any one.
"I'll need a drop of your blood." Carrie said and at once Draco recoiled from her reach.
"Why, what do you need my blood for, what's wrong with me?"
"Nothing is wrong with you, I just need your blood to see if my assumption is correct, if it is then it is a cause for celebration not remorse, now will you please trust me." Draco shook his head looking terrified, "Harry!" Carrie pleaded with him; Harry understood what she wanted him to do.
"Come on Dray, I won't let her hurt you, I would trust her with my life."
"But she has just had her memory removed and put back in, sorry Harry but I don't have the same level of trust in her that you do."
"Do you want me to get the blood then?" Draco shook his head. "Well we have to have a drop of blood so if you don't agree to it then we'll just have to stun you and get it anyway."
"If you do then I'm not having sex with you for a week." Draco warned as Harry withdrew his wand, however at these words he put it back.
"I promise not to stun you; I don't think I could cope without sex." Harry said and leaned in to kiss Draco, Carrie however could do without sex from Draco, and so without further ado she stunned him and pricked his finger putting two drops of Draco's blood into the potion before healing him and waking him.
"You knew she was going to do that." Draco said irritably and turned away from Harry, however he wasn't paying attention to his boyfriend.
"What are we looking for?" He asked Carrie.
"Red for negative and blue for positive" She responded carefully mixing the blood and potion together and then it began to change colour.
"It's blue" Harry said, "Positive."
"Positive, positive for what?" Draco asked panicked, Harry looked at Carrie questioningly.
"Congratulations Harry, Draco appears to be pregnant?"
"WHAT!" The two teens said in unison.
"How is this possible?" Harry asked, as Carrie opened her mouth to explain Harry interrupted, "I know how this could happened so don't get cute." He snapped.
Draco seemed to be having a little trouble breathing; Harry sat next to him and took his hand within his own. "Draco, honey, are you okay?"
Draco didn't respond right away, his breathing slowly returned to normal but there was still panic in his eyes. "But, I can't be pregnant."
"Oh you are Draco, what's wrong with that, it is Harry's baby right?" Carrie asked.
"Of course its mine" Harry said at once, "It is right?" He then asked Draco uncertainly.
"I haven't been sleeping around if that's what you mean." Draco snapped, "Its just I never thought that this would ever happen."
"So you knew that you could get pregnant?" Harry asked, "I mean, it isn't exactly as if this is an everyday occurrence, there aren't many wizards that are able to conceive."
"Yes I knew that I could conceive but only if I found the one person that I was meant to be with for the rest of my life, you see my great, great grandmother on my mother's side was a pure veela. All her decedents were female so it didn't really matter about the whole part veela thing because they can conceive anyway."
"So the veela part of you has allowed you to conceive our baby because we're soul mates?" Harry said summing up what had been said.
"Pretty much" Draco said, "I'm sorry I never mentioned it but I never thought we were soul mates, it just seems a little surreal."
"I know baby, I know." Harry said to Draco as he pressed a soft kiss upon his lips. "But now we have to be practical now that we know, I don't want you leaving this house, I won't risk losing you or the baby."
"The baby is barely an inch long; I think I can cope with going out of the house Harry." Draco said indignantly, little did they know that this was only the start of their bickering.
"I don't care, I want you to eat healthy and exercise regularly, I want you and the baby to be as healthy as physically possible."
"Isn't he cute when he gets all worried" Carrie said to Draco, Harry snorted indignantly at this however Draco just nodded and smiled at his lover. "I'll leave the two of you alone to celebrate and don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Thank you Carrie." Harry said as she left closing the door after her.
"Now Harry, I know your worried and a little excited about this but I don't want you to treat me any different, I'm pregnant not terminal."
"I know but I worry, don't you see how much risk this puts you and especially the baby in, I'm Harry Potter and the most feared wizard in the world wants me dead, what happens if he finds out about you?"
"Then we'll deal with it."
"I don't want any deatheaters finding out that you're pregnant, in fact I think that you should go back to England."
"What, why, there's nothing for me there, you know that, I have nothing to go back to, besides aren't I in more danger there where I have no one to protect me?"
"I have a safe house there that you can stay in, I can't watch you all the time, I want to know that you're safe."
"If I go back to England then you won't be able to keep an eye on me at all, besides that you're going to miss my pregnancy if you do that, can we not at least try for normal, where we go and buy things for the baby and fuss over what to name it."
"You really want all of that?" Harry asked smiling happily.
"Yeah, don't you?"
"I would love to have all of that, I'd even bicker over what colour to paint the nursery with you but before we can do that I want to know that when the baby is born that it'll be safe and loved, in a world that isn't plagued by war and death."
"Does that mean that we can't have normal?"
"It means that normal comes later, after I destroy Voldemort, which I promise you I will do, wherever I have to go."
"And wherever you go I'll be right there by your side, you're not going to miss one day of this pregnancy that at least I am determined about."
Harry leaned forward and kissed his boyfriend pushing him down on to the bed where he continued to ravish his mouth.
As they continued to make love the other Allures gathered in the sitting room having random discussions when they heard the tell tale signs of the beginnings of a long day. In the end they had to turn on some music to drown out the sounds. The two teens didn't make it downstairs until two, an hour before the school was due to let out.
"We're really behind schedule Harry, did you have to go at it for so long." Clayton said as they entered the sitting room.
"Actually," Harry said, "We did." Then he looked between the Allures and then to Draco, taking the blondes hand within his own and grinning madly. He cast several privacy spells around the room before saying: "I was hoping that everyone would be here before I told you this but I just can't hold it in. Draco's pregnant."
Everyone looked shock all apart from Carrie and Nicholas who had known already. Everyone got up to try and hug the couple at once, Harry and Draco were practically suffocated by all the people surrounding them.
"I thought we were behind schedule." Harry said jokingly.
"Actually we are, but congratulations." Clayton said to Harry, "I hope you don't mind but I've already laid out the plans but I suppose you don't want Draco tagging along now he's expecting."
Before Harry could respond however Draco spoke up instead, "I'm going; I don't want to be treated any differently by any one." He said, Harry didn't look happy about this but said nothing and promised himself that he would talk to Draco about that later on when they were alone.
"Right, lets get moving, what's the plan Clay?"
"Drew's going to walk out of school with them both, we're going to grab them and drive off."
"That's it?"
"Yep, simple but hopefully effective." Clayton said, "I think it's the best plan, are you up for it Harry?"
"I think it's about time that we all learned the leadership qualities that I have, I am no longer in charge, your all far to dependant on me and it's time that you weren't."
"What brought this on?" Sydney asked.
"Nothing, we can discuss it later." Harry said as he gave a significant look to Draco meaning that they would discuss this later when the others weren't around.
The rest of the Allures didn't have time to argue with Harry about this, they needed a leader and this hadn't been the best time for Harry to give up that position, especially when there was no one to fill it but time was short and they had a job to do.
They all piled into the minibus with Clayton at the wheel ready to go, they were silent all the way to the school where they parked up just round the corner from the gates. Since they were already running late they barely had to wait any time at all before kids began to pile out of the gates.
"Harry, Draco and Megan will grab Landon, Carrie, Sid and Trin will grab Cassidy, I'm the getaway driver and Nick, you watch for anyone coming round the corner okay." Clayton said and everyone nodded, not fully understanding how Harry had slipped out of the leadership role so quickly and Clayton had taken over from him so easily.
No one however wished to question this, it was too much of an important assignment to show dissension in the ranks, they could discuss this later, when they got back to the house with Landon and Cassidy.
"May I make a suggestion?" Harry asked, this alone wasn't the normal way of things, he did not ask he instructed. Clayton nodded, "Could Draco possibly be the one on look out instead of Nick?"
"It is possible; however I think I'll leave it up to Draco to decide." Clayton responded, both teens turned to the blonde expecting a response.
"I told you Harry, I don't want any special treatment, I was assigned this position and I will fulfil this position, Clayton thinks that I can handle it, please just let me live my life, I don't want to be wrapped in bubble wrap for my entire pregnancy." Draco said and Harry could do nothing but abide his boyfriend's wishes.
It wasn't as if they had anymore time to debate this as Drew strolled around the corner, Landon and Cassidy by his side. They burst out of the minibus, wands drawn and stunned their friends. Draco, Harry and Megan grabbed Landon and carried him easily into the minibus, while Carrie, Sydney and Trinity carried Cassidy. Nicholas just hurried them on as he looked up and down the street for potential witnesses, after he and Drew had climbed abroad Clayton put his foot down and they drove off.
Mission completed.
They arrived back at the house and moved both Landon and Cassidy safely inside before awakening them both. They looked scared and a little panicked. Cassidy was silent but Landon actually spoke.
"Where am I, who are you people?" He asked.
"Your name is Landon Sussman and we are your friends, and you young lady are called Cassidy Patton, I realise that you have no memory of us but that is because it was wiped from you, I am going to get it back." Harry told them both. "But before I do I want to know …"
"You" Cassidy suddenly said, "Lily, what are you doing here, with these people?"
"Because the same thing that happened to you happened to me as well, I put my trust in these people and I discovered that they were right, it's time that you did the same Cass." Carrie said to her and she nodded.
"However before I restore your memory I need to ask whether you know anything about who could have done this to you, anyone that you met with regularly or watched you, anything like that?"
"There was another man, Tom is his name, he lived with us in the flat." Cassidy said, Harry sighed.
"Yes, he is also one of us, is there anyone else that you can remember?"
"There was another, but he never showed his face, at least not to us." Landon said as Cassidy shook her head.
"Do you know what he called himself, anything that can help us identify this man?"
Both teens shook their heads, they were both clearly terrified despite what they had been told, Harry sighed and stunned Cassidy once more.
"What did you do to her?" Landon asked backing away from the all, it was however no good as Harry stunned him too and did the necessary spells that he had used on Carrie to restore her memory.
Once again he was faced with the choice of removing the horrific memory of their pasts but he didn't, he allowed Cassidy the horror of the ability to recall when she had been forced to watch her mother raped by deatheaters, her father tortured to within an inch of insanity before they were both murdered and she was left trembling in a corner.
He allowed Landon to recall the moment that his three year old sister was butchered in front of his very eyes, her organs ripped from her body. To remember the moment that he had walked down the stairs to find both parents hanging from the exposed beams in the kitchen, their wrists slashed, blood covering the floor.
Not only did Harry restore these memories to his friends but he now had the ability to recall them as well, he had been in the deepest subconscious of their minds, it had tired him mentally and physically, beyond that of the previous evening, he had seen memories that he would have preferred that he be forever bared from. However he was strong and he would bare them along with his own.
