Disclaimer : All characters belongs to J. K. Rowlings, minus Dr slump, whose name belongs to Akira Toriyama. All were kidnapped in the dawn, and are not used to make money. They will be returned when I'm done.
See, don't own so don't sue, unless you're interested in my teddy bears collection...
Besides this work will contain : mpreg and people out of character since I am definitely not JK Rowlings, and some strange sentences since I'm French. Still here?
So, on with the show...
Chapter 6 – One pregnancy for the Snapes, one!
They were having dinner when suddenly, Harry jumped on his feet and shouted, "We missed classes! The professors and our classmates will want to know why! And Dumbledore!"
Blaise's eyes widened. "Speaking of which, I'd like to know why he fled the room earlier. I mean he could have hidden you somewhere else, the shrieking shack, for example. Why did he had to put you here?"
Severus shrugged. "He wanted somebody with them? Or he thought that I perhaps could brew a potion to help Lupin?"
Harry's breath hitched. "Or perhaps he wanted them to inspect your quarters with their smells, to see if they noticed something out of order..."
Sirius nodded. "He was the one to suggest I stayed as a dog until we reached your rooms."
"But, I couldn't be the spy, I did not know about their mission."
Blaise whimpered. "I hope he didn't planned on having you and Black fighting and killing each other, seeing as you don't have the best of history together..."
Harry's mumbling of "He'd better not!" surprised everybody.
"Well, enough brainstorming for tonight!" James exclaimed cheerfully. "Siri, Remy, you can use the couch. Blaise, Harry, you can transfigure chairs into sleeping bags, I certainly don't want you to go back your dormitories. We will try to interrogate Dumbledore tomorrow. Sev?" James turned to his lover, conveying his intentions with his tail, who was tenderly strocking Severus' arm. "Besides, you said later, and it is later, and I have been a good little Nekojin..." he pouted. He grabbed Severus' hand and hastily dragged him to their bedroom, locking the door. Severus' voice could be heard casting silencing charms.
It was approximatively seven in the morning when Severus and James emerged from the bedroom. They were met by a smirking Sirius. "So, you two had fun last night?" Blaise and Harry were nowhere to be seen.
"They decided to sleep in the potion classroom after we were woken up by James' purring." He shrugged. "I never thought you could be so loud."
James and Severus blushed a nice shade of red. Remus, still as a wolf, entered the room with Blaise and Harry in tow. The three of them were grinning as their eyes landed on the blushing pair.
"We took him to the Great Hall for breakfast." explained Harry.
"Dumbledore asked us both where we were yesterday." Blaise stated.
The three adults turned towards them, their interest awaken.
Harry glanced to Blaise, who nodded. "We told him we met in the library, and seeing that Blaise had borrowed the book I wanted, we decided to share. We were so busy studying we didn't see the time. We took some food from the kitchen." He snickered a little.
Blaise went on. "We told him I was tutoring Harry in potions, and the best thing is that it was not a lie... It's what we did when we were woken up by the purring emanating from your room..." he teased. James and Severus blushed a new.
"For today, it would be better if you could write us a word... Maybe stating that Harry need time with his godfather..." he mused.
"And for you?" Severus wanted to know.
"Well, my family want to spend some time with me before travelling abroad. What's wrong with that? Besides, today is the first day of the Eastern holydays." He shrugged.
"Seems like you got it covered" remarked Severus before going to his desk, retrieving a piece of parchment, a quill and ink he handed to James, who jolted a few sentences and signed with a flourish.
"Why is it James writing it, and with his left hand?" enquired Sirius.
Severus smirked. "Albus knows my handwriting, and James writing with his left hand will alter his enough for our purposes. Now, all we have to do is wait for Madam Pomfrey and we will move to the house James and I bought."
Harry raised his hand and waved it. "And what about me?"
Severus smirked. "I'll tell him you are coming with us."
A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door.
"Severus, my boy? I wanted to check on you before you left for the holydays. Can I come in?"
"Just a minute! Black is not dressed!"
Sirius snorted. Harry transformed into a cat. Blaise couldn't resist teasing him. "At least now, Harry is not stuck into cat form!" which earned him a scratch. Grinning, he transformed too.
Severus went to open the door when he saw James, rooted to the spot. He looked shocked and was alternatively between his hands and Severus.
"I can't!" he mumbled before running to the bedroom. Sirius ran after him.
A few minutes later, Black ran from the bedroom to Snape, murmured a few words in his ear and ran to check on Madam Pomfrey.
"Bad news, my boy?" asked a curious headmaster.
Severus, frowning, shook his head. "No, my oldest cat is a little bit grumpy. He is hiding under the bed. Black thinks he might be sick..."
"So, everything is alright?" insisted the Headmaster.
Severus nodded and handed him the note. "Blaise Zabini's parents came to fetch him this morning. Potter has a potion to finish, so I'll take him with me. We might be onto something important."
Dumbledore agreed. Madam Pomfrey arrived and he left.
She quickly examined Remus and received a big lick on the face when she asked him if he could understand her. She pronounced him healthy at the end of her examination but said she could not give him his human form back, but maybe he would transform by himself after the next full moon. If not, they'll have to ask professor Flitwick for a research on the counter curse.
She was about to leave when Severus directed her to the bedroom. "You still have one patient to see." He told her while opening the door. At first she only see Harry and Blaise who had jumped on the bed to be near James who was rocking himself under the covers.
She turned towards Severus and told him sternly. "I am not a veterinarian" as she made to leave, she noticed the form huddled under the covers, shaking slightly.
"Madam Pomfrey, meet my lover. He is part Nekojin and seems to be stuck in his in-between form."
She raised an eyebrow. "Were there some other symptoms?"
"No. We woke up as usual. He never had trouble to transform before..."
"Did he do something different from usual yesterday?" she asked, her lips curling a little, as if she was trying to refrain from smiling.
Severus' blush was enough of an answer for her.
She quickly marched to the bed and threw the covers away. She gasped, surprised, when she recognised James who whimpered and jumped into Severus' arms.
Severus sighed and, rubbing his back, put him back on the bed.
Madam Pomfrey began to laugh at the end of her examination. Sirius glared at her.
"Don't worry! He's not ill, he's pregnant! When pregnant, Nekojins can't transform because the depense of energy would endangered the baby. This is why they have the need to stay by their mate's side, or at least, to keep them in sight. To be protected, them and the baby."
Everybody was stunned silent, Sirius looking to and from between James' still flat stomach and Severus' gaping face.
James threw himself back into Severus' arms, purring louder than ever.
Severus turned frowning towards the medi witch. "Don't worry, I'm bound to secrecy by my oath" she assured them. She winked as she left.
