Distressed Blonde

Harry didn't care about Umbridge. Snape would take care of it. Harry needed to take care of Draco. His mate was hungry. If he hadn't been pregnant Harry would have told him to ask Ginny. She was after all a vampire's mate and he doubted that she would have a problem with Draco drinking from her. But he was pregnant and so far along that he almost never took anybody else's blood other than Harry's.

He said the password to Snape's personal chamber and caught the blonde that came tumbling out. He was crying and at first he struggled against the hold Harry had on him. Then he realized who it was that held him and stopped. He relaxed against his mate, going completely limp. Harry almost fell over when Draco's dead weight was forced on him.

"Dray, what's wrong?" he asked in concern.

"You didn't answer! I called you, and you didn't answer! You pushed me away and Gin..." Harry cut his rambling of with a kiss.

"I didn't leave, dragon. I was just thinking. I'm sorry I didn't answer when you called." he tried to soothe the blonde.

Draco nodded against his shoulder. He was still crying but the fact that Harry held him helped to soothe him. Being a pregnant vampire wasn't always good. Whenever Harry didn't react to him, while he was within Draco's sight, he would think that his dominant had rejected him and when he didn't see him anymore it was even worse. Draco had actually only called Harry one time and not very loud. Now he could see that Harry hadn't heard him and he didn't blame him. Now. Then he had thought Harry was to far away for him to reach him which would mean that Harry had left the grounds, which would have to mean that he had left.

"Mr. Potter!"

The two vampire's froze when they heard Umbridge call from down the hall. Harry immediately pushed Draco in to Snape's chamber again and closed the door. As soon as the door closed Harry could feel Draco's obvious distress.

It's alright, love. I'll be there as soon as I can. I'll feed you and take you back to the dorm so you can calm down, okay?

/Yeah, okay. Just hurry./

Harry extended his magic through their bond and caressed Draco's cheek with it. He kept it up to help Draco calm as the group got closer, with Snape first.

When they were close enough Harry grabbed Snape's robe and pulled him closer.

"Keep them out here until Draco has fed. Please? He's a mess and I really don't think that he can handle them right now." he begged and the older vampire nodded.

Harry smiled gratefully and opened the door to Snape's chamber again. Once again he was almost pushed to the ground by his mate. But this time he picked the blonde up and walked through the door, totally ignoring Umbridge demands for him to stay. The door slid closed behind them.

"Come on, dragon. You need to feed." Harry murmured in his mate's ear when he felt him begin to tremble. "Why didn't you tell me to feed you before breakfast?"

"You wanted to see your friends and I didn't want to stop you." Draco replied calmer than he felt.

"Well, don't ever think you're stopping me if you tell me you need to feed. You heard Madam Pomfrey! You need to feed when ever you're hungry or it's the baby that pays." Harry said softly.

Draco could only nod.

Harry went over to the couch and sat down with Draco in his lap. He moved his mate's head to his neck before calling for Ginny who came out from the small kitchen.

"Get me some of the blood packets that Severus has in his fridge. I'll need them." he said just as Draco bit into his neck.

Ginny came back half a minute later with a tray with five packs of blood on it. Harry immediately bit into the first on and drained it.

"Are you sure he's okay?" Ginny asked worriedly.

"Yeah, he's just hungry." Harry said before he bit into the next pack of blood.

"When did he feed last? Two weeks ago!"

"No, really early this morning." Harry panted.

Ginny looked confused for a moment and then a light seemed to go of in her eyes. Harry smiled faintly at her while sucking a third pack dry.

"What are you doing to me again?" Ron asked while eyeing a white machine warily.

"An ultrasound, so we can see the baby." Madam Pomfrey said calmly.

Ron didn't really trust the white machine that was standing beside the bed he was laying on. It looked a lot like the videogames that his dad had in the back of the shed back home. Those things scared the hell out of him. They sounded a lot...!

Hermione held his hand and kissed it softly.

"You know, I should be in that bed, not you." she said softly.

"You wanna trade? I'm game." Ron said seriously.

"I'll bet." Hermione smiled.

Ron suddenly gasped when Pomfrey rubbed a cool gel on his bare stomach. The nurse snorted at him when he glared at her for not warning him. Then she put a plastic snout on his stomach. Ron sucked in his breath in a vain attempt to get away from it. Hermione kissed his forehead to calm him.

"It's okay. It won't hurt you, love." she whispered to him and he smiled a little in response.

"She seems fine." the nurse said and smiled at them.

The two teens smiled at each other at this.

"But I need to take a few more test." she said and Ron paled.

Hermione, who knew what she was going to do, made Ron look into her eyes and wouldn't let him turn his gaze away.

"No, look at me!" she said when he tried to turn away.

"Why?" he asked.

"Just don't look!" Hermione said forcefully.

"Why not?" Ron shouted and turned his gaze towards Madam Pomfrey and fainted.

Madam Pomfrey was standing over him with a long but thin needle. She 'humph'-ed and stuck the needle deep into Ron's lower abdomen.

Harry was panting harshly with his cheek on Draco's stomach. Draco had taken a lot of blood from him and he was dizzy. Listening to the baby's and Draco's heartbeat was soothing and slowly his breathing went back to normal.

"Can we go back to the dorm now, Angel?" Draco asked quietly.

Harry rubbed his nose against the soft flesh on Draco's stomach for a few seconds and then crawled up his body to kiss him lightly on the lips.

"If you are up for a round with the toad, then yes, we can." he said when he let go of the blonde's lips again.

"She's out there?" Draco asked with a pout which made Harry smile.

"Yes, dragon. She's out there."

"No. Don't want to!" Draco said firmly and buried his face in Harry's neck, but showed no sign of biting him again.

"Then we won't." Harry said simply.

"We can't stay here."

"Why not?"

Draco didn't answer. He bit Harry's earlobe and gently tugged on it. Harry growled and they kissed again.

"Severus can't hold them out there forever, you know." Ginny suddenly said from the door.

"I know." Harry said without looking at her.

"What are you going to do?" she asked when he didn't say anything else.

"Stay here 'til Draco is ready to face them. He's still a bit upset." Harry answered her like the blonde wasn't even there.

That didn't bother Draco. He was busy trying to take Harry's clothes off to listen to what they were saying. Harry let him take off his robe and shirt but stopped him when he reached for his belt. Harry gave him a soft kiss and settled his weight over the blonde. He could feel Ginny's eyes on them and turned his head to smile at her.

"Sev does that to me when he doesn't want to have sex but doesn't want me to move. Or just after..." she trailed off, realizing what she had just said.

"I know he does. It's a vampire thing. We like to think that it stops our submissive's from doing something stupid. Like move when they shouldn't." Harry said still smiling.

"Does it?" Ginny asked. "For you I mean."

"Dray has pushed me off a few times." Harry replied softly. "But mostly he realizes that I know what I'm doing and stays where he is. Doesn't move a lot or sleeps, like now."

Harry looked down at the sleeping blonde beneath him and marveled at how fast he could fall asleep when he was really tired. The fear and crying had taken its toll on the blonde and being pregnant really didn't help.

Harry slowly sat up. But as soon as his weight disappeared from Draco's body the blonde whimpered and stretched out his arms for him. Harry drew his mate into his lap and cradled him to his chest, kissing the top of his head. He stood up with the blonde in his arms and started to walk towards the door.

"Are you going out there without your shirt?" Ginny asked and could barely hide the smirk that was tugging on the corners of her lips.

"Yes, I am. And you have spent far too much time with Snape." Harry said.

She shrugged. They turned their attention towards the door when it slid open. They hadn't touched it.

"I demand that those two are taken to the Ministry!" Umbridge pointed one of her fat fingers at Harry and Draco.

Draco stirred in Harry's arms, woken by the toads near scream. Harry growled at her. Draco needed to sleep! This much stress was not good for Draco or the baby! Or Harry for that matter. It was him that had to give Draco blood when he was stressed to calm him again.

"We aren't going anywhere else but the Tower at the moment. Draco needs to sleep!" Harry growled and tried to push past the Aurors with Draco still in his arms. That proved to be a bad idea...
