Harry was 9 months pregnant and was happy it was almost over. He was sick of being swollen, tired, sore, and getting annoyed easily. He was excited about the twins, but wanted it over. He knew he had everyone there to talk to and such, but it was scary this time, he had his full powers still and got nervous when he was upset. He had gotten mad at Tom a few days ago for being late for lunch and had set everything in his office on fire, including his robe.
Luckily Tom's good at fire spells so he stopped it before anything happened. Afterwards Tom took him into their room so he could try to figure out the problem. Harry was getting a little bored so he went outside to take a walk in the garden. When he got out there, he saw Ron with Hedwig, his owl who was sleeping in a tree.
Ron saw him coming and said "Hey, what's up?"
"Not much, just taking a walk." he said.
"You feeling alright? You look kind of pale." Ron asked looking at him concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Tired, but fine."
"If you say so. Wanna play some chess?" Ron asked.
"Sure." Harry said.
While those two were outside playing chess, Hermione was inside playing with Berwin.
"Where's Berwin Harry?" Ron asked.
"Inside with Hermione." Harry said trying to find a move.
"Ahh." Ron said smirking at Harry.
A few minutes later Hermione came out to join them.
"Where's Berwin?" Ron asked her.
"He was getting tired so he went to lay in bed for a bit."
"Ahh, ok." said Harry as he took Ron's queen.
"Alri - HEY!" Ron exclaimed when he saw what Harry was doing.
"What? You can't win every game!" Harry said laughing.
"He has a point Ron." said Hermione giggling.
After lunch, Harry decided to go read in the living room for awhile. It had been an hour and suddenly his stomach started to tighten a bit. He put his hand on his stomach and started to feel a bit nervous, and thought,
'This is how I felt when I started to go into labor with Berwin. Maybe some fruit tea will help? I hope.'
So he asked Missy if she could get some fruit tea for him to see what happened. But no matter how much he tried, the pain was getting worse and worse. So finally he gave in and used their connection to call Tom.
'Tom? Can you come to the living room?' he asked.
'Is something wrong Harry?' Tom asked.
'JUST GET UP HERE!' Harry snapped.
So Tom left the meeting and was worried that, by the sound of Harry's voice something was wrong. And had an idea of what it was so he didn't bother walking, he just apperated to the living room.
"Harry? Harry what is it? Are you alright?" he said when he got there seeing Harry wince.
"My stomach feels a little tight. And I'm getting nervous, this is how it felt with Berwin." he told him feeling scared.
Tom sat down next to him and rubbed his back.
"Don't worry Harry, we know what to expect this time." Tom said smiling at him.
"You're right." Harry said sighing, "I could do it with Berwin, I can do it with Mai and Gwili."
Harry admitted putting his head on Tom's shoulder.
For the rest of the day Tom stayed close to Harry. They had Berwin go to Bill and Flora's for the rest of the day so he wouldn't get worried or scared while Harry was having the babies. Tom, Ron, Hermione, Draco, Charlie, Fenrir, Lucius and Severus and the Lestrange brothers stayed with Harry. The two of them went to bed early so that if Harry woke up like he had with Berwin they would've gotten at least a little sleep.
It was hard for Harry to fall asleep because of the pain in his stomach, but he fell asleep eventually. Just like Tom thought, Harry woke up like he did with Berwin late that night.
Harry woke up with the same problem as before, only stronger from it being twins. His eyes were closed tight with pain, teeth were clenched, he was sweating and he was clutching his stomach.
"TOM!" he yelled.
Tom sat up and looked at Harry, who nodded his head in a pain covered face. This time he was relaxed. He had already taken out some clothes for Harry to change into, told Healer Burns how Harry had been feeling and everything else. Tom headed over to Harry and got him out of bed so he could help him change after his water broke. He sent a patronus to Healer Burns and after that Harry's water broke. It was a bit harder to help him change this time because the contractions were already getting closer and closer which caused Harry to lean forward and hold his stomach.
While they were on their way to the healing room, Harry was getting into more and more pain making it harder and harder to walk. He was breathing deeply as they walked. Tom looked over at him constantly wondering if he should just carry him. He would tell him not to worry while he tried to tell himself not to worry. Suddenly out of nowhere, Harry stopped and held onto Tom for dear life.
"Harry?" Tom said nervously.
"I can't do it Tom. I can't make it." Harry breathed as he dropped to the floor holding his stomach, clenching his teeth and keeping his eyes shut tight.
"Yes you can Harry! I know you can!" Tom said helping him up.
But he couldn't even stand up from the pain. Tom started to panic a bit when he saw Harry's face turn red. He had started to sweat even more, clutch his stomach, breath faster, and then suddenly he started crowning. He needed to get Harry to Burns, and fast! He didn't know if he could apperate with Harry, he was nervous to try, but knew he couldn't wait much longer. So he picked up Harry and apperated him to Healer Burns.
When they got there Burns and his assistant were waiting. Ron, Hermione, Draco, and everyone else were waiting for them. Tom gently put Harry down on the bed and Healer Burns got started. Ron and Hermione were on one side and Tom was on the other holding Harry's hand.
"Come on Harry, you can do it! Just think, a bigger family, more people to love, Berwin will have someone to play with if you two are busy." Hermione encouraged.
Harry looked at her and Ron smiling. He may be in a lot of pain, but could still get a smile on his face. And they were right. He swapped from a smile to a face with clenched teeth and tightly closed eyes.
"AHHH! OHH, THIS IS WORSE THAN WHEN I WAS HAVING BERWIN!" Harry yelled.
"I know Harry, I know but you can do it. I know you can." Tom said running the back of his hand down Harry's cheek.
Harry looked over at him with exhausted and watering eyes. Smiling slightly. When they all saw Harry start crying they were shocked.
"Harry? is something wrong?" Severus asked.
He opened his emerald green eyes and saw everyone's faces.
"Harry Potter doesn't cry guys. Maybe when he was little, but after everything that's happened over the years, he doesn't do it anymore. Harry Potter FIGHTS!"
After hearing him say that, everyone started smiling.
"Why would you all think he was crying from pain and such? He's been through plenty of harder and more painful things. From Halloween 1981, to this very day!" said Tom.
Harry went from smiling to squeezing Tom's hand as a contraction hit and Burns had him pushing.
"Just one more push with this one, just one more!"
"Come on Harry, you can do it." Tom said to him as his eyes closed tight from the pain.
Soon enough the first twin was born, but Harry still had one more to have making him need to suffer from the pain of giving birth from the beginning since that one was already crowning on the way there. After he had had that one Burns took care of Harry and his assistant took care of the twins. Harry and Tom looked anxiously at each other, Burns, and his assistant with the twins. After what happened with Berwin, they were nervous that something else would happen even though Dumbledore was gone and nothing had happened this time. Seeing the look on his face when he had them in his hands, everything was fine. Harry was fine, they were fine, everything was just perfect this time.
When Berwin came into Harry and Tom's room he saw Harry feeding Mai, and Gwili sleeping.
When Harry saw him coming he smiled and said, "Hi Berwin. Did you want something?"
Berwin looked down at Mai and smiled. He couldn't see them very well because he was born blind. But given potions allowing him to see a little. He's always wondered what they look like, so Harry and Tom described what they looked like, but he had a good idea.
"No I'm just wandering around really." he said.
"Oh, do you wanna help me feed Mai?"
Harry knew Berwin loved to help him and Tom with Mai and Gwili so whenever he thought he could help them with it he'd ask.
"YEAH!" he said excitedly but quietly since Gwili was asleep.
Tom and Harry were impressed by how he could do that without being told, but were happy.
"Ok, do you wanna sit on my lap and feed her, or do you want to play with her while I feed her?" he had a pretty good idea of what the answer was going to be but he could be wrong. "Ummm, sit on your lap and feed her."
He had a feeling that would be the answer.
"Accio cope." he said.
And a cope came over so that he could put Mai down and put Berwin on his lap.
"When I finish school will I be able to do that? And all the other magic you and Tad can do?" he asked as Harry put Mai on his lap handing him the bottle.
"Of course you will. And when you were in my stomach Healer Burns said since me and Tad are extremely powerful wizards, you'll be to. Actually, me and Tad are the most powerful wizards in the world."
'Just tell him, we can explain it later'
'Are you sure?'
'Yes.'
'If you say so.'
"And there's something we've been meaning to tell you... Missy, perfect, can you get everyone to go into me and Tom's room and I'll meet them there when Mai finishes her bottle please?" "Of course Master Harry. Missy being right back!"
"Thanks" he said back.
After Mai finished her bottle, Harry put her down for a nap.
"Berwin you come with me. we're going to me and Tad's room for a minute there's something we've been meaning to tell you."
When they got there Harry saw everyone sitting on chairs that were in their room. Then someone put their hand on his shoulder and kissed him. It was Tom,
"Ok Berwin you go sit on the bed while I talk to Tad for a minute." Harry told him.
"Ok!"
"Are you sure about this Tom?" Harry hissed so no one could understand them.
(Well obviously Berwin can but he was too far away to hear them)
"Harry, he's seven years old, I know he's still young but he needs to find out before he start's Hogwarts." he hissed looking at him as he ran his fingers through Harry's hair.
"I guess you're right."
Harry sighed
"All right, now let's go." Tom hissed.
So Tom and Harry sat down on their bed and looked at him for a minute.
"There's something we've been meaning to tell you. Something you need to know before you start Hogwarts." Harry said nervously.
He looked over at Tom, and took his hand.
"You know the wizard that they used to call You - know - who and plenty of other names?" Tom asked him.
Berwin nodded his head curiously.
"And those wizards they called Death Eaters?"
"Yes, why?"
"And the wizard called The Boy Who Lived, and The Chosen One?"
Berwin nodded his head again. Tom and Harry looked at each other and everyone else in the room.
"Those wizards are us." said Tom.
"I'm the Boy Who Lived and Tad's You-know-who." said Harry
"Everyone in here is a death eater of my inner circle, and my name was Lord Voldemort. I would be called, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, You-Know-Who, The Dark Lord, and Lord Voldemort. Not many were brave enough to say Lord Voldemort or Voldemort, and to most people you would have to be extremely brave to call me that and even braver to call me Tom, Riddle, or Tom Riddle in front of me. My father was a muggle, his name was Tom so my mother named me after him. And he did not know my mother was a witch and hated magic so of course when she told him, he left her. And right after she had me, she died. So I grew up in a muggle orphanage causing me to become Lord Voldemort. After I left school, I killed my father for leaving my mother. And as for the death eaters, the people in here are my inner circle. You've seen the marks on their left arms, that is the dark mark. If I wanted or needed them all I had to do was call them through that by using a spell I created or one from my inner circle." Tom explained.
"As for me, I'm The Boy Who Lived. Have you ever wondered how I got this scar on my forehead?" he asked. Berwin nodded.
"It's from being the first and only person to survive the killing curse. When I was a baby Tad came after me because of a prophecy concerning him. I'll explain that at the end. And after that, one of the teachers from Hogwarts had me live with my Aunt and Uncle in the muggle world like Tad. The night he came after me he killed my parents from my dad fighting him and my mom sacrificing herself for me. Now, because of what my mom did for me that night, when he shot the killing curse, his signature curse back then, at me and it rebounded onto to him. Leaving me with my scar, a piece of his soul in my body, and a horrible childhood like his. Both of us were orphans, raised in the muggle world, hated where we grew up, unaware we were wizards until we were old enough for Hogwarts, are half bloods, and share plenty more things. My Aunt and Uncle treated me worse than a house elf and made me sleep in a cupboard under the stairs. My scar would burn whenever we were close to each other or he was feeling powerful emotions. It hurt because the piece of his soul that's inside me would try to get out and back to him through it. We were mortal enemies from the night he heard the prophecy, to the night I told him I was going to have you. We would duel but our wands share the same core so we can't do anything to each other. My wand is Holly and phoenix feather, and his is Yew and phoenix feather. The feathers came from Professor Dumbledore's old phoenix, Fawkes. Olivander said my wand is the brother and opposite of his. Opposite of his wand because my wand is holly which comes from 'holy'. My wand repels evil, while yew, can achieve astonishing longevity, can symbolize both death and resurrection;. When they say I'm The Chosen One, that's because of a prophecy about who can defeat Lord Voldemort. It was either me, or my friend Neville. And it was me, only I could defeat him."
"What did the prophecy thing say?"
Tom and Harry looked at each other and decided to tell him the prophecy.
"The prophecy said, 'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches. Born to those who have thrice defied him. And the Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal but he shall have power the Dark Lord knows not. And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives. The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord shall be born as the seventh month dies.'
"My birthday is July 31st and Neville's is the 28th. Bella went after his parents, and obviously Tad came after me. But when I came over to tell him about you I swore on my magic to not raise my wand at him unless it was to defend someone. And the next day he returned the favor by swearing on his own magic to keep me and our family safe and happy." Harry explained everything else, and skipped one thing, his defense against, and abilities in dark magic.
When he saw Tom's face Harry just sighed and said, " And in my fifth year of school, we had an awful Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and I was the best in the entire school at the subject. So Ron and Hermione had me start my own class. Obviously being the best one in the entire school at it I taught it and was the leader. Like Tad is with his Death Eaters. Hermione made coins that would get hot to let the members know when the next lesson was. She got the idea from Tad's Dark Mark. We did it in a room called the room of requirement. So no one could find us."
"Your dad hear is the best person in Defense Against the Dark Arts I've ever seen. This young man here `can fight off the imperious curse, even if I shoot it at him. He can do Dark Magic also, he, unlike me, uses it responsibly. He can do all the things I can and as powerfully. But if he can help it, he never uses it." he said.
"TOM!" Harry yelled at him as he turned red.
"What, it's true isn't it?" he said shrugging and smirking at him along with the others.
Harry rolled his eyes at him.
"Wow, you two have quite the past relationship and childhood." Berwin said staring at them amazed watching them swap back to what they looked like before the explanation.
Even some of the Death Eaters were surprised.
