Pregnant!
Bubbles. Pink bubbles.
Draco slapped his hand over his mouth to hide his gaping mouth, Harry just stared. Hermione was by her boyfriend's side in a millisecond and Ron burped up more pink bubbles.
Before either vampire knew what was happening, Hermione was upon them. She yelled at and accused Draco of trying to poison Ron out of spite. Draco was too stunned to do or say anything to defend himself and therefore just stared at her. The girl was torn away from him just as she was about to slap him over the face with her hand. The blonde looked up and saw his lover hold his friend in a firm grip.
"What did you give him?" Hermione yelled as she struggled to get loose from Harry's grip.
"I... I..." stammered the blonde, still in to much shock to actually make a complete sentence.
What happened? Harry's voice said in his head.
/I... I think I gave him... my potion./ Draco said slowly in his head so only Harry could hear him.
"Your potion!" Harry almost yelled at him.
Draco flinched and started to draw himself away from his mate. A hand on his arm stopped him when he was two feet away from him.
"I'm not mad at you, Dragon." Harry said before kissing his forehead.
Draco smiled softly and let himself be drawn in to Harry's arms. He buried his face in Harry's chest to hide from Hermione who still was yelling at him. He didn't want to look at the redhead either. It was after all his mistake that caused Ron to start throwing up all those bubbles. It must have scared him half to death.
"What was your potion?" Harry murmured in his ear.
"A pregnancy potion. And by the looks of it, he's having a girl. The bubbles would have been blue if it was a boy." Draco said into Harry's chest without caring if he heard him or not.
"Calm down Hermione!" Harry growled at her when she made an attempt to get to Draco's throat again. "There is nothing wrong with him!"
"How can you say that! He is puking up bubbles, Harry! Why are you still defending that low life?" the girl screamed at them.
The other Gryffindors that had been in the room either quietly made their way out of the tower or up to their dormitories. It was never a good sign when Hermione started yelling at Harry. And the fact that Ron was throwing up bubbles which were now floating around the room just made them want to leave even more.
The Golden Trio often got into trouble, maybe it was contagious?
"He's no low life! He's just human! He gave him the wrong potion by mistake! He's pregnant, Hermione!" Harry shouted back. This dumbstruck the yelling girl.
"What... What do mean? Who's pregnant?" she asked, horrified at the thought that she may have just yelled at a pregnant vampire.
"Ron!" Harry said and pointed over at the redhead who now had gotten control of the bubbles and was watching the bubbles at the ceiling explode with small pops.
Hermione turned her angry gaze to her lover. How could he! How could he be unfaithful to her! And with a man! Why? Hadn't they had it good? Weren't they in love? Hermione could feel the tears start to fall down her face when she calmly walked over to Ron. He looked up at her when she sank down to her knees by his side. He thought she was going to be calm about it, like she always was. God was he wrong! It came as a surprise when she started to pound on him. He was too surprised to stop her, he didn't understand why she was hitting him.
"How could you, Ronald Weasley! How could you do this to me? Is this how you reward my love for you? By cheating on me!" she yelled as she kept pounding on his chest, shoulders, arms, anywhere she could reach but kept away from his stomach. No matter how angry she was, she was not going to hurt an innocent child.
Harry was once again forced to pull Hermione away from an innocent person before she made any real damage.
"Who is he?" yelled Hermione as Harry pulled her into his strong arms again and held her tight.
"No-one! He has not been sleeping with anybody but you, Hermione!" the raven haired vampire shouted to be heard over her screams.
"He's pregnant, Harry! How else can he have gotten pregnant if he didn't sleep with a guy?" asked Hermione angrily.
"I don't know. But I have not smelled anybody else on him but you and the fact that he's having a girl makes it impossible for him to have gotten pregnant by a man!" Harry explained calmly.
"What are you talking about? It's not impossible for you and Draco to have a girl, why would it be that for Ron and someone other wizard?" asked Hermione, now back to her matter-of-factly self.
"It works differently for us. You have to explain exactly how Draco can get pregnant by me, anyway. I mean, a wizard has to drink a potion. Two wizards, only male chromosoms, right? Only possible to get a boy!"
"Oh yeah. Didn't think about that. But how then? He hasn't taken any potion, and if he hasn't slept with a man?"
"I don't know. Sev could probably figure it out though. We'll go down there as soon as both of our lover's have recovered from the shock of your temper." said Harry gently, nodding in Ron's direction.
Hermione got the hint and went back over to the still surprised redhead. Harry drew Draco back into his arms and held him while the blonde just basked in his scent and presence.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An hour later, when Ron had recovered his ability to speak, they were going down to the dungeons once again. The blonde that Harry held firmly by the hand, didn't seem to be willing to go back down there. Harry couldn't blame him after what Lucius did to him but still kept pulling along until they reached the stair that led down to the dungeons. Draco stopped in the doorway and refused to go any further.
"I don't want to go, Harry." he whined when Harry turned to him. "I wanna go flying. Let's go flying!" he suddenly sounded enthusiastic and started pulling Harry towards the big oak doors.
"Baby, it's cold outside!" Harry laughed but let Draco pull him along.
He cast a look over his shoulder and saw that his two friends had disappeared down to the dungeons without them. So he let Draco drag him outside. They really weren't bothered by the cold. They felt it, even got cold sometimes, but they weren't bothered by it.
They went down to the broom shed by the quidditch pitch to get their brooms. When Draco noticed that Harry didn't get his Firebolt, he looked at him like he had gone mental.
"You aren't flying with me?" the blonde asked fearfully. What if his dream came true? What if he fell of his broom and Harry wasn't there to catch him? Harry seemed to hear his thoughts and smiled at him.
"I'm going to stretch my wings a little, baby." he said calmingly while he started to unbutton his shirt.
Draco relaxed and smiled back at his mate. He took his Nimbus 2001 and then started to help Harry take his shirt off. When it was off Harry immediately closed his wings around Draco and kissed him.
"I love you." Draco said before he broke free of Harry's protective embrace and flew up in the air on his broom. Harry wasn't far behind.
"I love you too!" Harry said as he flew by him.
Draco smiled. Harry flew in a circle around the blonde vampire on the broom, who followed his every move with his eyes like he was afraid that he would disappear if he didn't. Harry tried to reassure his mate with a smile and a stolen kiss as he flew by right in front of Draco's face, never really leaving the blonde's side. He could feel his worry and wanted to gather up the other boy in his arms and calm him. He gazed around the school grounds every other second to make sure that it was just Draco's imagination acting up and that there was no real threat. He never saw anything.
It was when Harry did one of these searches that Draco felt the dizziness begin. He thought it was because he was too high up so he dropped down a few feet but it didn't go away. He swayed, almost falling off the broom, but managed to recover before Harry returned his gaze to him.
They played in the air for almost two hours, racing, twisting up in the air, laughing until their eyes were filled with tears, before it happened.
Draco had gotten more and more dizzy while they played but ignored it in favor of playing with his mate. Then, two hours later, it got too much for him and he fell off his broom.
Harry was frozen when Draco fell. Suddenly realization dawned upon him and he shot off like a rocket after his mate. It felt like an eternity before he reached the falling blonde and the only thing Harry could think about was holding him in his arms again, unharmed. He saw Draco's closed eyes and limp body falling, like he was asleep. He caught his mate when the ground wasn't more then ten feet away from him. As he shot up in the air again, he felt the tips of his wings touch the ground. As proof of how close the blonde had been to crashing in to it.
Draco felt the arms of his mate close around him and he knew he was safe again. Just like in his dream. He had never doubted that the dream was going to come true, on some level of his mind he had always known. It had never happened to him before, being able to see the future in his dreams, and he didn't know were it had come from but now he had it. It could be a side effect to the bond he and Harry now shared, or it could be the child he might be carrying. Right now Draco didn't care. He was safe and warm in his mate's arms. That was all that mattered. He smiled and snuggled deeper in to Harry's embrace.
