Harry and Draco had now been bonded for 3 months, and it had been 2 and a half months since they went on the raid and they had loved every second of it. They were never able to be too far apart from one another, they always wanted to touch one another, they could feel the others emotions and they knew that nothing was going to come between them.
Harry had been thinking more on his love life since he began dating Draco and he knew that he did not have that much experience. Before Draco he had only ever kissed one girl and it was a quick one when she was crying, that was not a real kiss. Draco was Harry's first everything, his first kiss, his first touch and his first making of love. And it was very special to Harry.
Draco had also confided to Harry that he had got a lot of first from Harry as well. Draco had dates before but that was all they were, dates. Draco and his father had said that Draco had to keep up appearances to the people when at parties and therefore had to come with a girl. Lucius had no problems with Draco being gay, as he was bonded to James Potter, but he did want Draco to be around the girls of other families until he had found his bonded. Draco told Harry that he had never kissed anyone, though there were a few times that girls got too excited, Harry was also his first touch and his first making of love.
Harry and his side had been happen to hear in the paper that their plan to make the light panic was working perfectly. Two weeks after the raid in Diagon Alley Dumbledore had went to see Harry. Harry Riddle had noticed then that Dumbledore only came to him at his old home when there was trouble, but stayed away all of the other times. However Dumbledore got a shock when he went into the home this time, as there was no Harry Potter to be found. When the Dursley's were asked where Harry was they answered with 'I don't know', claiming that the boy left months ago and did not return.
This story was all in the Daily Prophet, saying that the light did not know where Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived was. They did not know if he ran away, if he was kidnapped or even if he was killed. Another thing that came from this was that Dumbledore was being looked down upon from those in the light that were beginning to change, questioning why Harry was not more guarded and how could they let the boy disappear.
This caused great joy for Harry and the dark.
In 2 weeks time it was the Triwizard Tournament, and Harry was preparing for it. During school all of his teachers and his friends were helping him prepare for the upcoming events. The tournament is meant for those above his year, Harry is in the 5th year but they are recommended in 6th year, only those put forward by their headmaster are allowed to participate. Igor, who is the headmaster, knew that the Dark Lord wanted his son to be in the tournament as it would make great practice in battling and honing skills, Igor did what his master told him to do.
Harry and all his friends had decided to stay at the school for the whole weekdays, including the nights as well, but returned home during the week. When Harry was at home he was mostly with his fathers, with Draco or training for the tasks.
It was during one of these that Harry and his family got the surprise of their lives.
Harry was practicing the pain curse, Crucio. Harry seemed to have a hand at the dark arts not having trouble in producing any of them, he had passed all of his other lessons including the wand less and the parsel-magic spells as well. The only thing that the boy had not been taught were the unforgivable curses.
"Father, the tournament is in two weeks, will I be able to learn these in that time? And will I even need to know these for the tournament?" Harry asked his father, he was sure that unforgivable spells were not allowed in the tournament.
"Harry these are not for the tournament, you need to practice these now as the attack on Hogwarts is only a short month after the tournament, this will give us enough time to take the ministry and prepare a plan for Hogwarts." Tom explained.
His son was just like him in many aspects, including his stubbornness and his attitude.
"I know that father, and I can't wait to take that school. I want to make you proud of me, make you proud that I am your son." Harry said. That is all Harry wanted, he thought that he was not the son that the dark lord would need nor want, he spent so many years before this thinking he was nothing, only a weapon that people could control. Now that he is out of the light and where he belongs in the dark it has lessened, but the feelings of people leaving him because he was weak were still in his mind.
Voldemort and his son shared special bond, through the scar that Harry had on his head they were connected mentally and emotionally, kind of like a bonded pair would be but for a father and son. Voldemort knew that his son thought he was disappointed in him, that he was not proud the boy was his son and that people would leave when they saw how weak he was.
"Harry my son, you are not weak. You have never been weak and you never will be weak. You are one of the strongest people I know, especially for someone as young as you. You have made me proud already, you forgave me when a lot of others would not have, you gave me and Severus the chance to have a family and more importantly you taught me to chose right from wrong. Whether you win the tournament or not does not mean I am going to be less proud of you, nor anyone else in this room. I love you, Severus loves you, the Malfoy's and the Potter's love you, the Death Eaters love you, your friends love you and your mate loves you, no one is going to leave you." Tom said, moving over to hug his son, Draco and Severus soon joining in as well.
"Thank you father, that is something I needed to hear." Harry said, before he went on with his lesson with Bellatrix, his family, friends and his mate all there to watch him.
But half way through the lesson, Harry being able to cause mild pain under the curse, there was a loud scream. Harry turned around ready for an attack when he saw something that made his heart shudder in his chest.
Draco was on the floor moaning in pain and clutching his stomach.
"Draco!" Harry yelled and stopped what he was doing, before rushing over to his pained mate.
"Harry, what is happening to me?" Draco asked, though his voice was laced with pain. Draco had mentioned that he was feeling under the weather the last two months. He said he nearly always felt nauseous, was sick some mornings Harry waking up to this on a number of occasions and he also seemed to be gaining weight around his stomach area. Harry had told him it was just a bug and that it would pass in a couple of weeks, he didn't know that it would cause this to happen to someone he loved more than anything.
"I don't know my love, but we are going to call a healer and have everything straightened. Okay?" Harry said, the pain Draco was feeling seeping into his heart as he watched his mate, knowing that he was unable to do anything to help him.
While the two mates were talking, Voldemort and Severus had went of to contact a most trusted healer that would not say anything to anyone. When they returned with the healer in tow, they saw the two boys in the same position as they were when they left, Draco lying on the floor moaning though not as in pain as he was before and Harry kneeling over him whispering loving words to the blonde boy. However it was clear to see that both boys were panicked and upset about what just happened.
"Harry son, you are going to have to move a little bit away from him so I can work. You can sit behind his head, place his head into your lap and whisper calming words to him." The healer said. Harry nodded and did as he was told, moving behind his mate and putting the blonde head into his lap, softly stroking the hair and whispering to his mate.
The healer cast her wand all over Draco's body, a spell used to diagnose the situation of those who are ill or injured.
This took only a few moments but it felt like hours to those waiting to hear the news.
"There is nothing but good news. Your mate is just fine, the pain is normal with the condition he has, and it will pass with the pills I will subscribe for you." The healer said. Harry was relieved that Draco was alright, but she said that there was still a condition and that the pain was normal, and to Harry that was something to worry about.
"So what is wrong with him?" Harry asked quickly. Draco had been given the pills and was now sitting next Harry, snuggling into the side of his mate happily.
"Well you two bonded 3 months ago, Draco is pregnant." The healer said, causing those in the room to freeze in shock. "I have other appointments so I will take my leave. I will find my way to the floo, as I know you need to process what I have told you. Good day." She said, and with that she walked out of the room to the fireplace, and using the floo to go wherever she needed to be.
Everyone in the room was quiet. Out of everything this was something that they never expected to hear, they all knew that there was a chance that couples can become parents on the first bonding, but it was a rare feat. Most bonded couples had to wait a year or more to conceive, which is why Severus and Tom had not had a child yet.
Oncevagain Harry and Draco had beaten all the odds.
Harry was the first one to break the silence. "Your pregnant? I'm going to be a father!?" Harry yelled. He was happy, he had always wanted a family of his own and a big one at that, he was happy that he was able to share this with the person he was destined to be with. He was even getting his family faster than the average couple, which made him even happier.
Harry's squeal brought everyone out of their daze, and all of their gazes soon rested on the rounded stomach of Draco, who was holding it protectively.
"Harry we are going to be parents in 6 months!" Draco yelled. As soon as he did this everyone relaxed, they all thought by Draco's silence that he did not want the baby, this yell proved that he was happy about what was happening.
"Once again you two decide to beat the odds and have a child long before you should have been able to. But we are proud of you." Severus said, he saw the happy looks the pair sharing with one another and he couldn't wait to experience the same thing when he or his mate had their son/daughter as well.
"Harry, Draco. You gave me a family and now you are giving me grandchildren, I don't think I could be more happy right now. Soon we are going to have a little bundle running round here." Voldemort said, a happy smile on face. It had been a long time since small, happy feet were running through these walls.
At dinner that night the pair made the announcement to everyone in the dark. Every single dark wizard in the world now knew that Harry Potter had joined the dark, the word spread and everyone in the dark was trusted so the light caught no wind of what was happening. When the dark heard of the news they were excited, there was going to be another heir to dark, and to such wonderful parents as well.
Harry's friends were excited for them, Harry knew that Ron, Hermione and all of his other friends at Hogwarts would not have been happy for them, as they didn't even like homosexual people, male or female.
When the group went back to Bulgaria they told Viktor, Poliakoff and Gellert as they had stayed back this time to study up, they too were happy for the couple as was the headmaster and teachers when they were told about the baby.
Draco was warned by everyone that his magic might to deplete as the baby needed energy and magic from their parent, but since Harry and Draco were strong a lot of magic was already in the baby so it did not do much damage to Draco. He was tired a bit easily and he was not able to cast the unforgivables as strongly as he used to, but he knew that it was all going to be worth it when they saw their child.
This news in fact caused Harry to push himself harder, not hard enough to make himself tired, lost of energy or ill, but hard enough to make him learn the remaining two curses in two weeks. He now had a pregnant mate, a family and true friends to protect, people who loved him for who he was and not who he could be.
And the light be damned if Harry was going to let them get to the people he loved the most.
Harry was ready for the tournament in two weeks, Harry was ready to take over the ministry in a month and Harry was ready to take Hogwarts in two months.
After a long week at school the boys all went back to the manor Viktor, Poliakoff and Gellert all joining them this time. Harry and Draco went to bed right away, saying their goodnights and I love you's to one another before going to sleep.
Harry's hand was firmly resting on Draco's rounded belly with his arm was around Draco, who was snuggled safely into his chest, protectively.
Nothing was going to harm their child, not even as they slept.
