Previously:

"Ron, I know that I told him yes last night but when I woke up this morning, I had this nagging feeling that I just couldn't shake and it's really starting to eat at me."

Ron looks at him concerned. "What do you mean? What kind of a feeling?"

Harry sighs and puts his hand through his hair. "I feel like I'm lying to myself about this entire situation. I said yes because I know in my heart, I want my child to have a much better up bringing than I had in the beginning, but I feel as though I will never be able to give Cedric my full heart no matter what happens."

To Ron Harry didn't even need to finish that thought, only Ron, Fred, George, and maybe Bill knew what he was talking about. "Harry first things first I need you to breath okay. Can you do that for me?"

Harry nods but doesn't say anything so Ron continues.

"Okay now that that's out of the way. Why do you feel that, and have you talked to Cedric about this? I want you to be completely sure about the choices you are able to make about your own life because Merlin knows they aren't very many you can make."

Harry sighs before answering Ron's question. "I mean like I physically can't give him my full heart because it feels like someone else already has it and no I haven't I didn't want to worry him because he seemed so happy last night. I can't say that I'm not happy because I am I just. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel right now."

Ron puts a reassuring hand on Harry's shoulder. "There isn't a right or wrong way that you're supposed to be feeling right now Harry. If you're not 100 percent happy with Cedric, then you need to do something about it before he gets strung along." He says this even though he knows exactly what is going on.

Harry shakes his head. "It's not that Ron. I'm extremely happy with Cedric he is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. However, your stupid brother left a mark and a feeling that no matter how hard I try I can't get rid of it."

Ron looks at Harry with a 100 percent serious look which for Ron does not happen very often. "Is that what you really want to happen? Do you want to get rid of what you feel for him and what he means to you?"

Harry has some tears in his eyes when he looks back up at Ron. "No, that's not it all." That is all he manages to say.

Ron see's the emotions threatening to take over and gives Harry a brotherly hug. "Oh, Harry I know he seems to have that effect on people but right now you have other things you need to worry about, and Cedric will do everything that he can to protect you."

Harry hugs him back. "Yes, I know he will and that's why if anything happens with Charlie saying goodbye to Cedric will be even harder, but at the same time saying goodbye to Charlie will hurt just as much because in order to give Cedric my whole heart that's what is going to have to happen."

"I know it seems like there is no winning in this situation, but it will work out in the end. Also let's not worry about what ifs right now. We should only be worrying about what we know right now." *Even though I know that Charlie will be the best partner for you.*

Chapter 3 Rocky Road?

"Thank you Ced at least I know you love me." Harry smiles slightly and kisses him on the cheek.

It's now time for classes to start and the first-class Harry has is Defense Against the Dark Arts. "Oh, great what a lovely way to start the day." Harry stats as he makes his way to the desk where Ron is already sitting down in a seat.

"I'm with you on that one mate, this could get interesting and not in a good way either." Ron agrees with Harry.

"Good morning class." Umbridge in an eerily cheery tone while looking at her class.

The class groans than mumbles. "Good morning professor."

She gives the class a false cheery smile. *Well this response just won't do. We are just going to have to try again I suppose. * "Let's try that, again shall we. Good morning class."

The class tries to sound cheerier. "Good morning Professor Umbridge."

She smirks in her small victory. "That's much better." She makes a weird giggle. "Now these are your textbooks that you are to use throughout this school year. I will be teaching you ministry approved DADA."

Hermione raises her. "Yes, dear what is it?"

Hermione looks up at her and has to keep herself from rolling her eyes. *What in the world does she think she is trying to pull here? She is going to leave us utterly defenseless if she refuses to actually teach us spells. On another note Harry better be careful, I have a bad feeling that she is going to try and antagonize him. * "Professor this doesn't tell how to use defensive spells."

She giggles again. "Using defensive spells? Why on earth would you need to use them?"

*Is she fucking serious right now? * "Oh, I don't know maybe in case someone attacks us." Harry said flatly even though he knows he should just stay quiet.

"Students will raise their hand in my classroom. Who would attack innocent children like yourselves?" Umbridge just looks at him with a condescending expression and wants to rile him up just so she can throw him into detention, so she waits patiently for him to explode. *Come on Potter take the bait, I dare you. *

"Hmm let me think ah I don't know maybe Voldemort." Harry says with an angry sarcastic tone. He thinks in his head after he says this. *Is she an idiot or what. I mean come on everyone knows this already whether or not they want to acknowledge it as fact or fiction, they don't just dismiss it altogether. I can already tell that this class is going to be the death of me, not even Lord of the dicks can top this, she is the absolute fucking worst teacher ever. *

*Yes, it worked. I have you now Potter and I won't be letting go. * "Detention Mr. Potter in my office tonight at 7 pm and you will have it once a night for the next weeks as well for your blatant lie and disrespect of a Hogwarts teacher."

Harry sits there stunned for a brief minute then groans internally. *God damn, I walked right into her trap and she got me. This is not going to be a pleasant experience for me. *

The class ends, and all the students leave the classroom quickly.

"That was bloody awful." Ron said. "How on earth are we supposed to get through a whole year of that?"

Harry answered. "I have no idea, but I suddenly hate DADA class. I think I'm going to write to Siri about this. I will catch up with you guys in a couple of minutes." Harry turns and leaves to write Sirius a letter.

Dear Padfoot,

I really need some guidance here. We have a new DADA professor and she has been appointed by Fudge himself. She won't let us use magic! What the hell are we supposed to do? Please give me some advice.

Also, I recently started to not feel so good but I'm not sure if it's just part of the pregnancy or not. Before you start freaking out, no I haven't told anyone because I only started feeling off last night. I really hope it isn't anything major, I don't think I could handle any major disaster's right now. I hope you and Moony will have some answers for me, I really hope you can answer me back soon.

Love,

Bambi

Harry attaches the letter to Hedwig. "Give this to Siri girl." Hedwig hoots and flies away. Harry walks to his next class. The day goes by pretty quickly and it is time for Harry's detention. "Guys I have to go to my first detention of the pink toad soon or she is just going to punish me more if I'm late."

Hermione looks at him then looks back at the group. "I don't trust her at all and if she is going to teach us then we need to find someone who can." She turns her attention to Harry.

Harry sees her looking at him. "Mione why are you looking at me like that?" *I really don't like that look in her eyes right now, it usually means she thought of something crazy and it looks like she just got an idea that is not going to be good for me. *

Seamus shakes his head. "Yeah me either, but Harry can handle himself he will tell us if something bad happened and I think she wants you to teach us Harry since the pink toad won't."

Harry looks flabbergasted. "I can't do that, I'm not even remotely qualified to each other students how to defend themselves."

Neville looks Harry. "What in the world are you talking about Harry? Of course, you are, and I think the students would benefit from learning from you."

Cedric looks at Seamus. "I wouldn't be so sure about that Seamus. I have been dating him for a year and I already know he tries to hide some things that have to deal with him. You know that too, you have all been friends with him longer than I have." Then he turns his attention to Harry. "Your friends are right love; you would be the perfect person for the job."

Harry shakes his head. "I think you are all nuts, but I will think about it. Right now, I really have to go." He gives Cedric a brief kiss then leaves for his detention.

‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰

Later after Harry's first detention with Umbridge, Harry is making his way to his and Cedric's Room when he runs into Draco.

Harry smiles as he sees him. "Hey Draco, how are you?" Then before Draco could answer his question Harry passes out. Draco manages to catch him before he hits the ground.

Draco starts to freak out. "Harry! Wake up please!" Students start to hear shouting coming from one of the hallways and Professor McGonagall comes running and stops dead in her tracks.

"Mr. Malfoy what is going on here." She looks at him sternly, but it is filled with concern for Harry.

Draco has tears in his eyes. "I don't know professor he just came up to me and asked me how I was doing then before I could even answer he passed out."

McGonagall looks at them sternly and sighs with worry. *What has happened to this child now? Harry, I hope whatever it is you will be able to overcome quickly. * Then she turns her attention back towards Draco."Okay well we need to get him to the infirmary." Professor McGonagall and Draco manage to get Harry to the infirmary.

Madam Pomphrey looks at Draco and Professor McGonagall in shock. "What happened here?"

"I- I don't know I just found him like this." He was nearly crying.

"Well put him on this bed here and let me look at him it doesn't look like we have much time to figure this out. Meanwhile I would like you to find Mr. Diggory for me."

"I can do that." Draco runs out and looks for Cedric.

"Cedric! There you are, I've been looking for you." He runs over to him. "You have to come quick its Harry and he is hurt really bad."

"What?" Concern fills Cedric's eyes and he gets up and follows Draco to the infirmary. "Oh, my God Harry!" He runs over to where Harry is laying. "What is wrong with him Madam Pomphrey?"

"I'm not sure to be honest. Mr. Malfoy said he just passed out in the hallway; I'm trying to figure why right now."

"Oh, my god, what is happening to him?" Cedric is now crying. "Is the baby okay?"

She shakes her head. "I do not know at this point. I'm having a hard time finding a heartbeat."

"No!" Cedric can't take it. *Please, please, please don't tell me we are losing our baby, this is going to devastate him. *

Madam Pomphrey looks at him sadly. "I'm sorry Mr. Diggory there is no heartbeat to be found."

Immediately Cedric breaks down and becomes a lump on the ground and Draco gets down and tries to comfort him.

Draco rubs his back. "You have to stay strong for him he is going to need you now more than ever."

Cedric nods slowly. "I know he will I just can't believe that this happened to him."

"I agree with you I can't wait till we find out what happened."

Madam Pomphrey walks up to him. "Mr. Diggory has Mr. Potter been complaining about anything strange going on or any sickness?"

Cedric thinks about it. "No Madam Pomphrey he hasn't, at least not to me."

"Okay thank you Mr. Diggory although it appears that he has been poisoned with something that was only meant to attack the baby. We will have to ask him if he has felt off at all."

Cedric just shakes his head again. "Who would do this and why?"

Draco looks at him. "My best guess would be either Cho or Ginny."

Cedric immediately gets angry at the mention of Cho's name. "If it is Cho there is nothing stopping me from ripping her apart. I really can't see Ginny pulling something like this, she would never physically harm Harry."

"Cedric, I don't think Harry would appreciate you getting kicked out of school and going to prison and you are probably right about Ginny, she cares about him too much." Draco told him.

Cedric nods in agreement. "Yeah, you're probably right but still I'm so pissed and hurt right now, I can't believe this happened to him. Harry is going to be crushed when I have to tell him that he is no longer going to be a parent, he was really starting to get excited about it."

Ron and Hermione run in frantically. "Cedric, how is he?"

Cedric is crying into his hands then finally looks up. "Harry will be fine, but the baby didn't make it."

Hermione puts her hands over her mouth and feels the tears forming in her eyes. "Oh no. How did this happen?"

Draco answers for him since he knows Cedric is too broken up right now. "We don't know the answer to that Mione, although Madam Pomphrey says that Harry was poisoned, and the poison was only meant for the baby."

Ron is completely furious by this. "Well there is really only one possible person that could have done it since everyone you two told wouldn't have done it."

Hermione nods her head and hugs Ron needing is comfort. "Yeah you're right Ginny would never do this no matter how upset she was."

Draco stands there and a thought comes to his head. "Someone is going to have to tell Sirius about this. I think I'm going to go tell my godfather." The others nod and Draco leaves to find Severus.

Professor Dumbledore walks into the room. "I have been advised that there is some grim news to report this evening, is this correct?"

Cedric stands up. "Um yes sir, Harry collapsed, and our baby has been lost. Madam Pomphrey says that he was poisoned."

"This news is most distressing. It may be difficult to figure out who the culprit is."

Madam Pomphrey comes over. "Everyone but Cedric needs to leave, Harry needs to sleep so his body can recover."

Everyone knows she means business, so they all leave to let Harry have his rest that he needs.

‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰

Draco finds makes his way down to the dungeons and knocks on the door. To his surprise Sirius is the one who opens the door. "Hello Draco, what are you doing here?"

Draco looks up at him and feels the emotions overwhelm him and the tears start to fall. "Um can I come in I need to tell you and Sev something."

Sirius immediately gets worried and lets the distressed teen into the room. "Of course. Sev your godson is here to talk to us and he is really upset about something."

Severus walks into the room a minute later and immediately gets concerned once he see's his godson's expression. He walks over to him and pulls him into a tight hug. "What's wrong Draco?"

Draco wraps his arms around his godfather and allows the tears to fall freely. "There was an accident."

"What kind of accident Dragon?" He rubs his back soothingly and looks at Sirius and wears a similar expression to his own.

Draco buries his face into Severus' chest before answering. "Harry walked up to me after he had served his detention with Umbridge and asked me how I was doing and before I could answer he collapsed. I caught him and called to him, but he wouldn't wake up, then McGonagall walked over and helped me carry him to the infirmary. Sev he was poisoned, and he lost the baby and he is still unconscious in the hospital right now."

Both Severus and Sirius gasp at this news and Severus can see the devastation in his mate's eyes. Sirius holds himself together for his godson's sake. "Does anyone know how it happened?"

Draco loosens his grip on his godfather a bit and shakes his head while looking at Sirius. "No, we don't, he is going to be crushed just like Cedric was when she told him. I feel so guilty that I couldn't do anything to help him."

Sirius walks over to the shaken teen and rubs his back. "Draco there wasn't anything that you could have done to stop this from happening. But I know he is going to be broken when Cedric tells him, so we all have to be here for him to help him recover from this." He then looks at Severus. "I'm going to head to their room and wait for him. There is no way that I can wait until tomorrow to see him."

Severus nods his head and kisses his mate. "Okay Padfoot. I think now would be a good time to ask him."

Sirius nods. "Yeah you're probably right." He turns around and leaves the room.

Draco looks at his godfather. "What were you two talking about just now?"

Severus smiles a bit and shakes his head. "I can't tell you that Dragon, you're going to have to wait to find out."

A few hours later Harry wakes up and looks around the room trying to get a hold of his surroundings. "Cedric?"

Cedric opens his eyes. "Harry love you're awake! How are you feeling?"

Harry groans. "Lousy, like someone hit me with the knight bus."

Cedric laughs a little at this but then makes a frown while he is internally screaming. *How in the world can I tell him that he is no longer going to be a parent? This is going to crush him. * Then he looks at his fiance with sadness in his eyes. "Love, I'm afraid that I have some bad news."

Once Harry sees the serious expression on his face he starts to panic not liking where this is going. "Ced why am I in the infirmary and why do you have that expression on your face?"

"Um, well Draco and Professor McGonagall brought you in here after you collapsed earlier today, and Madam Pomphrey started working on you right away and umm." He doesn't have the strength to finish the rest of the sentence.

Harry puts his hand to Cedric's chin to make him look at him and he sees tears streaming on his face. "Please, please don't tell me what I think you're about to say." He can already feel the tears forming in his eyes. *No, no, no. Please, please, please, don't tell me he is going to tell me what I think he is going to say... I can't lose someone else. Merlin, I need Charlie so bad right now. I feel extremely guilty for thinking this with Ced right here but, I just really need Charlie's strength right now, i don't know if I can get through this without him. *

"Love, I wish..." He trails off because he can't' form the words then he looks back at Harry. "Baby I'm sorry." Is all that Cedric is able to get out.

Madam Pomphrey walks into the room and notices the tense situation then she turns towards Harry and sees him looking at her with pleading eyes. "I'm sorry Harry but I was not able to save your baby, you were poisoned by someone and we don't know who. I really wish I would have been able to stop it."

Harry starts to go into denial. "No that can't be true." He immediately breaks down into tears and curls into himself while Cedric goes over and holds him to his chest.

"Mr. Potter I need you to tell me if you have been feeling off at all recently."

Harry looks at her briefly. "A little bit since last night but I couldn't figure out why and I just figured it was a normal thing with the pregnancy, so I didn't say anything."

She nods her head. *This child really needs to stop hiding how he is feeling from everyone. No one is ever going to think he is weak if he is going through something, I really hope someone someday will be able to get that through his thick skull. * "So that must have been when it happened. I truly am sorry Harry." She turns her attention to Cedric. "I expect you to take care of him and make sure that he doesn't strain himself until he is fully healed."

Cedric looks at her and nods his head. "I promise I will take care of him Madam Pomphrey."

She nods and gives him a slight smile. "Very good." Then she turns around to give them space.

Cedric turns his attention to his sobbing fiancé and just holds him tighter until he is able to calm down. "Do you think you can make it back to our room now or do you want to wait?"

Harry is able to calm down slightly a few minutes later and looks at Cedric. "I think we can go now. I really want to be away from everyone for a while."

Cedric nods. "Okay love, we can do that." He helps Harry get out of the bed and they slowly start their journey to their room.

‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰

As soon as they reach the portrait Harry speaks up. "Ced I need Sirius I don't think I can survive this without seeing him today." Then he and Cedric walk into their apartment.

"Well than it is a good thing that I came to see you." Sirius walks into their room and Harry runs over to him crying and hugs him tightly.

Sirius just slowly takes them down to the ground and rubs Harry's back and whispers calming words to him to try to get him to relax. He looks over to Cedric to see the devastated expression. "How did this happen?"

Cedric just shakes his head. "I-I don't know someone managed to poison him and it only targeted the baby."

Sirius nods. "Well whoever it was they certainty knew what they were doing. Pup it's okay you are very strong you will get through this I promise."

Harry nuzzles his head into his godfather's chest. "I know but it still hurts so much Siri."

"I know it does pup. I know this might not be the best, but it might cheer you up, but I was wondering if I could have your permission to adopt you."

Harry finally holds his head and looks at Sirius shocked. "You mean it Siri you want to adopt me?"

"Absolutely if that's alright with you that is." He suddenly gets a full-blown hug and almost lands on his back. "I take that as a yes?"

Harry laughs a little. "Yes please." Sirius smiles at him. "Okay I will get started right away and you two need to help each other through this tough time and also find other friends to talk to its very important."

Cedric nods. "We will and thank you for coming Sirius this really means a lot to have your support."

Sirius kisses Harry on the head. "Of course, and you are more than welcome. I will do anything for my pup." He gets up and leaves the room.

Cedric looks at Harry. "Dumbledore came by while you were sleeping and gave strict orders for you to take the day off of classes for tomorrow so you can rest."

Harry nods. "Ced I just want to go to bed if that's okay, I'm really worn out."

Cedric walks over and kisses Harry. "Of course, my love." Harry turns towards the bedroom and walks out of the room.

‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰

The next day turns out to be quite uneventful because Harry was put under strict orders to take the day to recover from the previous day. The whole gang is outside by the Black lake just talking.

Ron looks up at Harry. "How are you feeling?"

Harry is sitting on the grass with his back leaning against a tree to keep himself upright. "I don't really know. Right now, I'm sort of in a just in the movements type way. Although Sirius came by last night and he wants to adopt me."

Hermione smiles. "That's great Harry! You know this year is definitely going to be interesting."

"You mean just like every other year Hermione?" Ron asked her.

Hermione rolls her eyes at him. "Yes, Ronald just like every other year."

Everyone just laughs. Ron looks down grumpily. "I hate when she uses my real name."

Harry is laughing. "You know she only uses it when you do something stupid."

"Thanks for the support Harry." Ron sticks out his tongue at Harry.

Harry is still laughing. "Anytime Ron." Harry sees an owl swoop down and drop a letter in his lap.

Luna looks at him. "Who is that from Harry?"

""I don't know I wasn't expecting a letter from anyone besides Sirius and this isn't his owl." Harry opens the letter and reads it.

Dear Harry

I know this is probably very unexpected to receive a letter from me, but I heard about you having a baby from Ron. Don't yell at him for it he knew I would be able to help support you. Anyway, I am writing because I am coming up to take Hagrid's place as the Care of Magical Creatures Professor and I wanted you to know before anyone else. I should be there next week, I had to put my Dragon handler job on hold for now. Also I wanted to say congratulations on your engagement (also from Ron, so please don't kill him for telling me this either.)

I miss talking to you Harry and I know that I would like to get together and talk and catch up on everything that has been going on lately. Send me an owl back with your answer; please send Hedwig so I know it's from you.

Sincerely,

Charlie Weasley

Harry was just staring at the letter he didn't know what to say to him because it was just so unexpected. Hermione is just looking at him. "Harry is everything okay?"

Harry snaps out of it. "Yeah everything is fine it's just a letter from Charlie."

Ron is surprised. "You mean as in my brother Charlie?"

Harry laughs a little at Ron's question. "Yeah the one and only Charlie Weasley."

Ron shakes his head because he knows Charlie loves Harry, but Charlie has no idea Ron knows. "What did he say?"

Harry looks at him before he answers. "He said that he was taking over Hagrid's job and he will be here next week."

Cedric was a little jealous but didn't show it. "Well that should be a good class now. It's not that I don't like Hagrid it's just he can be a bit eccentric sometimes."

Everyone nods.

Seamus laughs a bit. "Yeah he can, I still remember his first class two years ago when he introduced us to Buckbeak."

Ron laughs. "Yeah that was pretty funny."

Harry rolls his eyes. "That's easy for you guys to say, you all backed up and volunteered me as tribute."

Cedric laughs at his fiancé. "Love I have to see Professor Flitwick now; I will see you later." He gives Harry a kiss and then leaves.

Luna looks at Harry. "So, what are you going to do about Charlie's letter?"

"I'm going to write him back later; I don't have much time to do it now." Harry states.

"Why did Cedric suddenly leave? I didn't know he had to see Flitwick today." Neville asked concerned.

Harry shakes his head. "I don't know to be honest I have a feeling that things are going to be a little intense between him and I and Charlie isn't going to make it any easier."

Everyone but Ron looks at him. Then Hermione speaks up. "Harry what does Charlie have to do with anything?"

Ron looks at Mione. "Charlie and Harry sort of had a thing before he met Cedric."

Hermione looks at Harry. "Wait, you did? Why didn't you say anything before?"

Harry looks at her. "I don't know I guess I never thought about it because it never really went anywhere."

Hermione nods. "Well I guess that makes sense."

Harry nods. "Hey, I changed my mind. I'm going to the owlery to write him back now instead of later." Harry gets up and leaves.

Neville looks at Ron. "Do they still have feelings for each other, and will that really impact Harry and Cedric?"

Ron looks at Neville. "Yeah they do. Charlie is going to be a problem for Cedric. I have a feeling that if things go south for Harry and Cedric then Charlie will sweep Harry off of his feet."

‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰

Bill is leaning against one of the door frames in Charlie's hut with his arms crossed in front of his chest. "Okay, run this by me again. You are putting your job on hold for someone who is already in a relationship with someone else. Do I have that correct so far?"

Charlie just looks at his older brother. "Yes, that would be correct."

"Okay but why now? Char you had I do not how much time to say something, so why didn't you. Why wait until now?"

Charlie shakes his head. "I don't know I think the distance and being apart from him are really starting to eat away at me. Plus, I got a letter from Ron the other day that just kind of sealed the deal for me."

Bill raises an eyebrow at him. "What did he say?" Charlie grabs the letter and hands it to him.

Dear Charlie,

Hey big brother how are you doing? I wanted to forewarn you about a few things that I think you need to be made aware of and yes, they all concern Harry. He recently found out that he was having a baby and his boyfriend Cedric proposed to him. I know he puts on a good face and all, but I can tell he isn't happy. I'm concerned that he is forcing himself into this because of the baby and that's not good.

I hope you will be able to talk to him and figure out how to help him because I don't think any of us will be able to like you can. Please help my best friend Char, he means so much to me and I just want to see him happy and I know you can help him do that. He relies on you so much and I don't even think he realizes how much he leans on you, he is going to need you now more than ever. I hope this letter gets to you safely and I hope to hear from you soon.

Love,

Ron

Bill reads the letter than looks back up at Charlie. "Okay I see what you mean now. But are you sure you want to do this?"

"I have to Bill, you're the only one I have told about my feelings for him. You know that I can't wait anymore, I need to have him in my life."

Bill's shoulders shag a little bit and he walks over and puts a reassuring hand on Charlie's shoulder. "Alright, I will support you just be careful and don't push him. I know you have always been a good source of support for him."

Before Charlie can respond he sees a white snowy owl flying towards his window. He opens the window to let Hedwig through. "Hey girl what do you have for me?"

Hedwig holds her leg out so Charlie can receive the letter attached to her leg. Charlie grabs the letter and gives Hedwig a head rub, then he reads the letter.

Dear Charlie,

Yes, Charlie I was a little surprised to receive a letter from you however I don't think it could have come at a better time. Yesterday I was poisoned somehow or at least I think it was yesterday, I'm not really sure. Anyway, something really bad happened yesterday and I'm still trying to process what happened. I lost my baby yesterday so I really could use one of your hugs if you don't mind when you get here.

Sirius is going to adopt me on a more cheerful note. I don't know how I am going to survive from losing a part of me. I know everyone keeps telling me that I am strong, and I will get through it but I just don't see how. I can't wait to see you. I have a request to make. Could you possibly come a little earlier please because I'm really going to need you.

Yours truly,

Harry

After he finished reading this, he went ghost white and a feeling of dread wraps tightly around him. *God damn it! He doesn't need anymore, of this crap. I need to be there for him no matter what else is going on, he needs me. *

Bill sees his expression and walks over and takes the letter out of his hands and reads it himself. Then he looks back over at Charlie. "Go. Keep him safe."

Charlie just nods at his brother. "I know. I will." Charlie finishes packing up his things and says goodbye to Bill before he leaves for Hogwarts.

‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰

After Harry had finished writing his letter to Charlie, he went to detention with Umbridge. After he finished that he decided to head back to his room to work on some homework.

Cedric walks into the room and Harry looks up at him. "Hey, love how was your training with Flitwick today?"

Cedric sits down next to him. "It was good a little hard to focus but I managed."

Harry looks at him. "Well that's good. I know this is going to be tough, but I am really going to need you."

Cedric holds Harry's hands. "I know you will, and I will try my best to be here for you in any way that you need me to be."

Harry smiles slightly. "That's all I can ask for. I love you so much."

"I love you too." Cedric kisses him. "Oh, before I forget how did your detention go with Miss. Umbridge?"

Harry smirks. "Oh, you mean the pink toad. It was lovely and stupid and pointless. I had to write lines repeatedly until she decided to let me go. The lines she made me write were 'I must not tell lies.' Yeah it was sooo much fun." He rolls his eyes as he says this to Cedric.

Cedric just looked at him. "Seriously? That's all she made you do. What's the point of that?"

Harry thinks to himself. *Well that's not all but we aren't going to bring up the other part* "Yeah that's it and I don't know, she really shouldn't be at this school if she's not going to do anything to help us."

"Yeah I agree with you love." Cedric kisses Harry again. "Well I'm going to bed I'm wiped out and you should be too."

Harry smiles at him. "Yes mom." He laughs and Cedric just pokes him. "Haha very funny Harry."

‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰

They both went to bed and the next day was Saturday, so everyone had the day off except for Cedric who still had to see Flitwick for the entire day. So, Harry and Cedric said their goodbyes and Harry went to the great hall to eat breakfast with his friends.

"Hey guys." His friends look up at him and smile.

Ron speaks first. "Hey Harry. So, did you happen to forget to mention that my brother was coming early?"

Harry looks at him confused. "What do you mean did I fail to mention that he was coming early? In his letter, he told me that he would be here next week. I mean I asked if he would be able to come early but I didn't think he was going to be able to."

Ron shakes his head. "Well obviously he listened to you Harry because he is here."

"Wait you saw him?" Hermione asks him.

Ron nods. "Yeah he actually came looking for all the Weasley siblings so me and the twins got to say hi to him not sure where Ginny is though."

Harry stiffens up and Seamus just looks at him. "Harry mate are you okay?"

Harry shakes it off and comes back to reality. "Yeah I'm fine I'm just worried about her and since I don't know if she is involved with what happened I'm afraid."

Neville pats Harry on the back. "Don't worry we won't let anything else happen to you."

Harry gives him a small smile. "Thanks guys I appreciate that, but I think I'm going to go and pay him a visit." *I didn't think he was going to show up already. Merlin, I don't think I'm going to be able to keep hold of my emotions once I see him. I really freaking missed him. *

Hermione just gives him a look. "Okay Harry be careful and let us know how it goes." Harry nods and gets up and goes in search of Charlie.

‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰

Charlie is in his private quarters that he received from Dumbledore which oddly enough had two bedrooms in them which he wasn't exactly sure why that was but didn't question it because Dumbledore seemed to do things his own way. He was in the middle of putting his things away when there was a knock on the door.

"Give me a minute I will be right there." He shouts from one of the rooms. He goes over to open the door to find a raven-haired green-eyed teen standing there.

"Hey Harry." He just looks at him and breaks into tears and Charlie just gives him the biggest hug he can and closes the door and puts a silencing charm up. "Hey what's going on?"

Harry looks at him. "You weren't supposed to be here until next week why are you here now?"

Charlie just looks at him. "What did you think was going to happen after I received your letter. I wasn't going to let you go without support and besides you asked me if I could, so I did."

Harry shakes his head and continues to hug him. "Char I don't know what do anymore. Sure, I didn't plan to have a baby, but we adjusted and now it was stripped away from me and now I'm just a mess."

Charlie continues to hold him, but he takes them over to a couch that is in the common area and sits them down. "Now you don't really believe that there is nothing else for you, do you?"

Harry shakes his head and looks at Charlie. "No, I guess not but I don't want to live this way. Always feeling like nothing good will ever happen to me."

"Now I have to stop you right there. From what your letter you sent, you also mentioned that Sirius is going to adopt you, and don't you have Cedric?"

Harry manages a small smile at hearing him mention Sirius. "Yes, Sirius is going to adopt me but I'm living a lie when it comes to Cedric and it is now coming more into light than it was before."

Charlie looks at him. "What do you mean?"

Harry sits up and looks back at Charlie. "I love him I really do but I don't think that I will ever be able to give him my entire heart because I'm in love with someone else and in case you haven't noticed there is a huge difference between the two of them."

Charlie chuckles a little bit at the attitude that Harry gave him towards that end of that. "As a matter of fact, yes I have noticed the difference since it has happened to me personally as well. But Harry I don't think it is right to keep leading him on then if you don't feel like you can give him everything."

"Yeah I agree but I am happy but I'm just not sure if I have the strength to do anything about it now especially after what happened yesterday. I couldn't do that to him. I know what it is like to have a broken heart and to depend on someone else to pick up the pieces. I just can't put him through that unless it is absolutely necessary."

Charlie gives him a sympathetic look then he notices something on Harry's hand. "Um, Harry do you mind telling me what that is on your hand?"

Harry looks down on it and thinks. *Oh shit, this is not going to be good and lying to him is impossible he always seems to find out the truth anyway. Well I guess I will tell him about this but hopefully he doesn't ask me anymore questions about my heart I don't think I can handle it.*

End of Chapter 3

I decided to add the part between Charlie and Bill to support the claim that Bill knows about Charlie's feelings for Harry, I hope you like it.

Leave your comments and suggestions please it is much appreciated. I need at least 2 reviews for each chapter in order to write new material. I am uploading everything that I have so far.
