Toad attack

"I demand those two be 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.

After that everything happened so fast.

One of the Aurors grabbed Draco's arm in an attempt to pull the blonde away from Harry but he woke up and immediately lashed out at the Auror that tried to separate him and his mate. His nails were long and his fangs bared.

The Auror in question dodged Draco's attack and then quickly slapped Draco across the face, making Harry angrier. Snape was quickly by their side and placed a hand on Harry's shoulder to calm him. Harry then tried to draw Draco back into his arms out of harms way from the Aurors but Draco was pulled out of his grasp by strong hands. Then, before anybody could make another sound, they were gone.

All the Aurors, even Umbridge, were gone from the Halls of Hogwarts as was Draco. Harry let out a scream of agony. He hadn't been able to protect his mate. His pregnant mate.

He felt strong arms wind around his chest from behind and then Ginny wrapped her arms around his neck. They tried to comfort him but the older one of them knew he would not be able to. Harry would always blame himself for this no matter what happened. If Draco died, Harry would kill himself that would be the only way for him to make the hurt go away. Snape understood him.

"It'll be okay, Harry. We'll find him." Ginny tried to comfort the raven haired teen.

"Yes, we'll get him back." Snape agreed.

"I know we will, because I'm going to the Ministry and get him back. I'll kill that bitch!" Harry said forcefully and showed them away before storming out of the room.

Severus pulled Ginny close to his chest and kissed her passionately. He tried to get the feelings out. The feelings of failure. It wasn't only Harry's responsibility to protect Draco, it was Severus as well. Harry was his childe of sorts. He had drunk his blood after his first change. The first blood he ever tasted. It would have been different if he had drunk a muggle's blood or another wizard. By drinking Severus blood, Harry connected them like sire and childe. And Harry was a childe. He was new at being a vampire and made rash decisions. Like now.

He didn't think. He didn't even know were Draco was. How could he save him if he didn't know where he was? Such a fool that boy could be sometimes!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry pulled out his wand when he was outside of Hogwarts wards. The spell that he had cast on their child didn't just let Harry know when something was wrong; it gave him the baby's position. And since the baby still was inside Draco, it gave him Draco's position. The only thing he needed to do was say the incantation and let his wand lead him, then he would find them both.

"Find!" he whispered while concentrating on his and Draco's child.

His wand started to spin in the palm of his hand like it had done back in forth year when he had gone into the maze. But this time it wouldn't show north, it would show the direction for him to go if he wanted to find his mate. It stopped spinning in the direction that Harry knew London was. So it was very possible that he was taken to the Ministry.

He growled when he thought about Umbridge and what she might be doing to his mate. That last thought made him run down to the broom shed to get his Firebolt.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draco struggled against the Aurors that held him in place. But of course it didn't help. All Draco could think about was that Harry better hurry his arse down here and save him!

The Aurors pushed Draco down on a bed and held him down until another Auror put leather straps around his arms and ankles. Then they let him go. Draco pulled and jerked on the straps in an attempt to get loose but they wouldn't budge.

"They are charmed." a soft voice said.

Draco turned his head and snarled at the new woman. She smiled gently at him. Draco deiced that he didn't like this person, whoever she was.

"We'll be going then." Umbridge said from the other side of the room.

Draco didn't like anything about what was going on. He didn't know what it was, but he didn't like it! Harry hadn't gotten the chance to explain anything to him yet.

The woman stepped closer to the bed and sat down on the edge. Draco snarled again and tried to free his hand so he could hurt this woman really badly.

"I told you they are charmed. You won't get lose until somebody takes them off." she said calmly.

"Harry's going to tear you apart if you so much as touch me!" Draco warned her when she extended her hand to put it on his clothed stomach.

"Harry? Your mate?" she asked calmly.

Before Draco could answer her, she pulled his shirt up and put her hand on his stomach. It wasn't warm like Harry's hands. They were like ice. It burned his skin and got inside him. Burning.

"What are you doing!" Draco demanded while trying to squirm away from the hand.

"I'm forcing your body to reject the baby." she said simply.

"What!" he cried horrified.

"An easy abortion you could say. It takes three hour for it to work so now all you have to do is wait." she said as she removed hand.

The icy burning didn't go away though. It was cold. Draco whimpered quiet pathetically. How the fuck was he going to get out of this one! Harry didn't know were he was so he couldn't expect his help.

He couldn't let the baby die.

"Where are we?" Draco asked the woman that was now almost by the door.

"A clinic by the Ministry." she replied without turning around.

/Harry/ he cried in his mind.

No answer.

/Harry/ he cried louder and more desperately.

Still no answer.

He felt tears come to his eyes and he let them stream down his temples and into his hair. Nobody was there to see it and Harry wasn't there to comfort him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry had barely reached the shed when he felt a familiar pull behind the bellybutton that signaled that he had touched a portkey. But he hadn't touched anything, which could only mean that the baby was in mortal peril. That was how the spell worked. When the baby was in danger the spell immediately brought the two parents to the child's location. Draco was already there so the spell wouldn't affect him.

He landed quite ungracefully outside a shabby looking building. Even before Harry reached the door he could feel the wards that were around it and growled. They weren't strong enough to hold him out if he wanted to get in. What Harry was worried about the guards that undoubtedly were in there and Draco that was in danger.

He moved closer to the wards and let his magic touch them. His magic was angry, just as Harry himself was. It literally blew the wards up with ease. Then he just waved his hand at the door and it opened without any protests. He didn't see anybody inside the door and went in.

He drew out his wand again and used the same spell that he had when he still was on Hogwarts' ground. It pointed up a white staircase. He absently noticed that it didn't look as shabby inside as it did outside. It looked like a clinic. But Harry focused on finding Draco.

When he got up the stairs he saw that the hall led to a number of rooms it was deserted. Well, almost. There was one woman outside a room in the middle of the corridor.

/Harry/ he heard Draco call in his mind and he could hear the total despair even in his mind voice.

It's okay, baby. I'll be there in a sec. He tried to sooth his mate.

The woman turned to him just as he finished the thought, like she had heard him. He didn't linger on the thought however. He had to get into the room, Draco was in there!

He growled and advanced on her. She backed up against the door like she thought it could save her. Harry stood in front of her and growled warningly.

"You... you can't... can't go in there!" she stuttered cockily.

"Oh no?" he said in a dangerously silky voice.

She shook her head firmly, obviously not trusting her voice. Harry growled once again and grabbed her throat and lifted her off the ground like she weighed no more than a feather.

"I still can't go in there?" he growled out.

She didn't answer. She was clawing on his arm and hand to get him to let her go but he just tightened his grip. With the hand that wasn't holding her up, he opened the door and then preceded to throw her through the opening. She was now coughing in a corner as far away from Harry as she could get. Harry on the other hand, didn't pay her any attention. He only had eyes for the crying blonde on the bed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draco opened his eyes when he heard the door open and the woman was thrown in. When he saw Harry he started to cry again. Harder this time. When Harry finally had answered his pleas in his mind he had felt relived that he was on his way. He didn't think he would be there in four seconds though. But he was glad he was.

He held out his arms to Harry and his mate came over to him. Harry kissed him and cradled his face in his hands, searching his face for an injury or sign of pain.

The chill that he still could feel in his stomach lessened for every moment Harry's skin touched his. But Draco was still worried about the baby. That it lessened could mean that the baby was dead but it couldn't have been three hours already.

"Harry, the baby..." he whispered against Harry's lips when he was about to kiss him again.

"What about it?" Harry asked worriedly, remembering how he got there so fast.

"She did something..." Draco couldn't keep going.

Harry held him tighter and whispered reassuring words in his mate's ear. Words he didn't really believe himself. He picked up his still distressed mate and apparated them back to Hogsmead, right outside The Three Broomsticks. He carried his crying mate inside and ignored all the stares he got from Hogwarts students and villagers that was in the pub at the moment.

"Madam Rosmerta!" Harry called when he spotted her in one of the dark corners of the room.

"Yes?" she said kindly.

"Can we use your fireplace to floo to Hogwarts infirmary? It's an emergency!"

"Yes, of course. This way!" she said as soon as she saw Draco in Harry's arms and Harry's still not clothed chest.

She led them to the backroom where Harry first hade gotten to know about Sirius being his Godfather. She threw floo powder into the fire and the flames turned emerald. Harry stepped in to fire and smiled gratefully at her.

"Hold on tight, baby." Harry murmured to his mate before calling out the name of his destination.
