Harry took a shower and ate without being prompted then headed back to the potions lab. Draco and Snape followed him. He immediately pointed to the board.
"Now, that I got my freak out over. What should we do next?"
Draco snorted. "You officially have been thrown off the team. You are a little mummy now."
Harry snarled. "I'm not fighting him today. We can't do anything until we have all his horcruxs destroyed."
Draco looked back to Snape. "Harry, we have another problem. Severus did an unbreakable vow with my mother. He has to complete my mission. My mission was to kill Dumbledore."
Harry shrugged. "Can we break a vow?"
They both frowned. Harry nodded and turned back to the list and added, kill Dumbledore.
Snape smirked as Draco stuttered. "Just like that."
Harry thought about the way Dumbledore had planned for him to die. He just shrugged again. "Dumbledore hasn't cared about casualties. It's not my place to care about his. What does he always tell me? It's for the greater good."
Snape shook his head. "That isn't the pressing issue."
"No, Dumbledore has already destroyed the ring, I destroyed the diary. We need to figure out what the others would be."
Snape eyes moved to the books on the book shelf. "Harry, did you steal these?"
"I'm going to go with borrow. I want to make copies then we can have Dobby sneak in the originals."
Draco rolled his eyes. "I don't see how anyone thought you were the innocent one."
Harry scoffed. "Because you were a dick about everything."
Draco smirked. "Prat."
Harry turned back to the board. "Snape, you've been around them more than anyone. What should we do?"
Snape raised an eyebrow and looked at Draco before turning back to Harry. "Let me think about it. I have been making extra potions that we might need. I think better while I work. Give me a few days. I'll try to think of anything that would help us."
Harry nodded and walked out of the room. He headed downstairs and found Dobby waiting in the kitchen with Kreature. They both turned to him. Snape slid in the room and began waving his wand over Harry.
Harry sat back sighed and waited. He knew this had been coming. Draco walked in the room and waited with Harry.
The parchment appeared beside him but Snape didn't take it. He walked out of the room looking at Draco before he left.
Draco moved to the parchment and picked it up. He started at it for a few minutes before he turned back to Harry grinning. Harry stood confused while he waited for Draco to hand him the paper.
PREGNANCY- POSITIVE
FETUS- 2
FETUS 1- FATHER- STEVE GRANT ROGERS
FETUS 2- FATHER- JAMES BUCHANAN BARNES
Harry's hands began to shake. Draco moved locking his arms around him from behind as they looked at the parchment.
"Potter, you still have them. They are no longer dead. We will get through this. I'll keep you safe."
Harry just nodded too overwhelmed to speak.
Fred and George returned that night. Harry was emotionally drained. He couldn't let the parchment out of his hands. Draco stayed by his side as the day progressed. Dobby visited Hogwarts and spoke to Neville. The situation was the same Dumbledore trying to rein in control and conspiracies were flying. The Slytherins were also making accusations about Potter taking Malfoy. They all snickered about that.
The next few weeks went by slowly. Draco and Harry replicated the books from Hogwarts. Harry continued his training downstairs with Draco joining him, Draco bitching the entire time. Snape stayed in his lab making notes on Voldemort and making potions. Fred and George stayed over a few nights out of the week but they were getting nowhere.
Harry convinced Draco they needed someone close to Dumbledore. They all decided the only one they could trust was Lupin.
Dobby went to Lupin and brought him back to the house.
"Harry!" Lupin's screamed as he was apparated unceremoniously in the living room.
"I need your help."
Lupin stood watching him the leaned over and sniffed the air. His eyes narrowed but he didn't speak. "What are you not telling me?"
"So much. I need you to get closer to Dumbledore and spy for us."
"Tell me why you smell different."
"You know why."
Lupin nodded. "Dumbledore has been looking for something. He has me going to the packs trying to get them to stay away from him. I haven't trusted Dumbledore since you left. I have been trying to keep tabs on him. He has gone to the old Riddle Manor and he has been going to a shoreline."
Harry perked up. "What was it about Voldemort when he was at the orphanage; they went to the beach every summer."
"You think Dumbledore is searching everywhere the dark lord went." Snape realized.
"It makes sense Voldemort is a complete egocentric narcissist. He would only think places that were important to him were worthy to keep his horcruxs."
"Horcruxs are you serious?"
"Yea, that is why Voldemort hasn't died."
Lupin sat down. "How did we not know about this?"
"Dumbledore hordes information."
"We need to go to the beach." Harry spoke.
"You aren't going anywhere."
"Draco, I can't stop because of this and you're acting like I want to charge into battle."
Draco snarled. "No."
Harry ignored him and turned to Lupin. "Where is it?"
Lupin looked between them then told them where. Draco snarled at him.
Harry pushed Draco as Draco pulled him into his arms. "I know you. If you go anywhere, I'm coming."
Harry rolled his eyes. "I'm not leaving."
Lupin looked at them. "When did this happen?"
Harry rolled his eyes again. "When, we left Hogwarts. We are keeping each other together."
"I'm glad to see the rumors of you both killing each other aren't true."
Draco pulled him closer his hand going to Harry's stomach. It was something that had begun to happen during the night.
Lupin stayed over the next few hours. They let him see the pensive memories of Dumbledore. Harry knew it would reinforce his suspicions of the man. Lupin left with Dobby as Harry turned back to Draco.
"Are you ready to go check out the beach?"
Draco snorted. "You waited until he left. You knew he would never let you go."
Harry smiled and apparated to the beach. Draco came seconds later cursing. Harry moved wrapping his hands around his mouth before someone heard them. Draco stopped cursing but gave him his best slit Malfoy glare. Harry grinned.
They both looked for anything suspicious but they were in the middle of nowhere. From Voldemort's memories, they knew a hotel was farther down the beach.
"Do you feel anything?" Harry asked as he stood eyes closed trying to feel for magic.
Draco moved a step away and followed Harry's example. Draco blew out a breath. "I feel something but I don't know if I'm just sensing you."
Harry opened his eyes and looked to the cliffs edge. "Something is down over the edge."
Harry walked to the boundary and looked over. There was a small ledge halfway down the cliff. Water was slamming into the walls. Mist rose up spraying against them. Harry apparated to the ledge. Draco cursed above him. The ledge opened up into a large cave. Harry took a step inside and he heard Draco apparate behind him.
Draco moved pushing Harry behind him. "Self preservation Potter, you are caring my god babies."
Harry snorted and moved following steps behind. The feeling of magic was strong against the back wall. Harry pointed to it. "Something is there."
Draco moved to the wall and looked to the rocks. There was nothing there. They both moved around running there hands over the walls. There was nothing just the feeling they were missing something.
Harry went to move closer and tripped. His hand slid over the wall breaking skin. Draco jerked trying to see the damage and they were both taken back when the wall began to open.
They turned to each other. Draco was frowning. "Potter, we should leave."
Harry shook his head. "We need to do this Dumbledore could come back at any time."
"Potter."
"Can't be any scarier than our flat."
Draco snorted.
Harry moved and was again pushed behind Draco. He rolled his eyes and walked into the cave. They both stopped looking around.
"What the fuck is this place?"
Harry walked to the water's edge. He took a step back. "There is something in the water."
Draco lifted his wand sending a spell that made balls of light fill the room. They stayed hovering showing the small island with a podium. They both peered back to the water.
Draco moved to the chain lining the ceiling and waived his wand. A boat quietly slid through the water.
"You are not getting on that thing."
"Draco."
"Hell no. I'm not one of your little sycophants that you can talk into this."
Harry moved before Draco could corner him and climbed in the boat. Draco ran trying to pull him out of the boat. Harry moved to the front and Draco followed him prepared to throw him over his shoulder and take him out of the place kicking and screaming.
The boat took off before he could bodily take Harry. Harry just smirked at him.
Draco grabbed his arm and tried to apparate them out of there. It didn't work. He fumed. "We are screwed Potter, we can't leave."
Harry nodded and turned back looking where they were headed. They both turned looking out to the water when they heard the large splash.
Nothing appeared. They turned back when the boat hit the rocky shore. Draco snagged Harry's hand and refused to let him go first. Harry relented and let Draco climb out of the boat. His boots sank into the loose rocks and when nothing attacked him, Harry came out of the boat following him.
They moved to the center and the bowl lying on the rocky podium.
"No."
Harry rolled his eyes. "There is something inside the bowl."
Before he could stop him, Harry was trying to stick his hand in the bowl. An invisible barrier stopped him. Draco smacked his hand away. "I'm going to roll you up in bubble wrap."
"I'll just roll around in it to hear it pop."
Draco sneered at him. "I'm seriously rethinking our friendship."
Harry picked up the shell and stuck it in the liquid. It went into the liquid easily. He tried to throw the liquid out and it stayed inside the shell like jell-o. Draco watched him and rolled his eyes.
"Ideas?"
"It's a fucking potion that will probably kill us. And you can't drink it, it could make you miscarry."
Harry looked at the shell and back to Draco. "Dobby!"
Dobby popped into the room and looked around. His eyes went huge. "Master! You have to leave. There are dead within the water."
"How did you get in here? We can't apparate?"
"House elves apparate in and out of Hogwarts all day long. Wizard's think their magic is superior but I don't think it is. House elves do everything without wands and while being bound by rules of slavery."
Draco was looking at him like he was insane then laughed. "Hubris."
Kreature popped into the cave. He was furious. "You will leave this place."
Harry took a step to him. "Kreature, what's wrong?"
"Master Regulus died here."
"Dobby, can you take us home?"
Dobby nodded and took both their hands and took them back to the flat. Dobby was pulling his ears as he looked at Kreature. Kreature was still shaking with fury and frustration. Draco moved to him. Kreature loved Draco because he had Black blood. Draco sat on the floor, something his family would beat him over if they saw.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
"Master took me to the cave. He drank the liquid and cried to stop. When he was done, he gave me the locket and replaced the locket inside. He asked me to destroy the locket." Kreature threw himself in the floor and started kicking and screaming. "Master then walked into the water and killed himself. He asked me one thing and I've used every bit of magic I have and still can't destroy the locket."
"Do you still have the locket?"
Snape had filed into the kitchen seeing what the commotion was about.
Kreature moved to one of the rooms outside the kitchen. He pulled out the locket and gave it to Draco. Draco dropped it when it went into his hand.
"The drunk mudblood was eyeing it for weeks. He has been stealing from the house. Dumbledore never stopped him."
"Potter, it's wrong."
Snape walked over examining it. He began to fire spells at it. Nothing phased it. Harry and Draco watched him not sure what to do. Draco was braced with Harry behind him.
"You said you killed the diary. How did you destroy it?"
"Basilisk fang."
"Well, we can't get one of those. What else can we use?"
"Why can't we? The basilisk is still in the chamber. We would have to clear out the tunnel that collapsed, but we could do it. The only other people who know where it is, is Hermione and Ron and they can't speak parcel tongue so the chamber won't open for them."
"You want to go in the castle and open the chamber of secrets?" Draco asked slowly.
Harry looked to Draco then back to Snape and shrugged.
Draco looked excited. "Can we go now?"
"As soon as it gets dark."
Harry ran up to their room and pulled out his invisibility cloak and map. He pulled out Dumbledore's wand and his wand for Draco.
He moved back down the stairs and laid the map over the table. Snape was seething. Harry just rolled his shoulder and pulled the map out letting them see everyone's movements. Draco snorted. "No wonder you never got in trouble."
"I can't believe this is real."
Snape was busy pulling at the map. He stopped when he reached Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore was not there. They began to look over the map, he was nowhere. Harry pointed to the room of requirement. "People won't show up if they are there. It's why I knew something was wrong with Draco. I couldn't find him on the map."
Harry handed Draco his wand. You need to be careful with your wand. You are still being tracked. Use mine. I'll use the one I stole from Dumbledore. Seriously, be careful with it."
Draco nodded. Harry turned to Dobby. "Sneak and tell Neville we are going in the chamber tonight. If he can sneak away, have him meet us in moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Tell him to make sure Ron and Hermione don't see him."
Dobby left with a pop. Snape left them seconds later to get ready. Harry handed Dobby the invisibility cloak. Draco took the map and put it in his pocket. Harry watched him. Draco moved to him.
"You are going to listen to me. There is no more running off without me. You will not make decisions without me. If you want us to do this together, you are going to be with me not ordering me."
Harry leaned against the table. "Okay, but sometimes I'm going to do things you won't like but I'll try to wait until after I have your god babies."
Draco moved putting his hand on Harry's stomach. "I know you want them here with you but I'll try to be there for you. I don't have anyone but you."
Harry moved hugging him. They both leaned into each other. Harry put his face into Draco's neck. Draco smelled familiar and was starting to smell like home but he missed them. Draco knew what he was thinking and just pulled him closer his hands going to his lower back and making sure there bodies locked.
Snape walked into the room he looked at Harry and Draco curled in to one another. "Are you sure it wasn't you?"
Harry snickered. "Were all the rumors about you true?"
"What rumors?"
Harry fidgeted. "That you were a slut."
Draco snickered. "Maybe."
Dobby came back with a pop. "Master Neville is going to head to bed and sneak out when everyone goes to the DA meeting. He said for you to be careful tonight."
Harry nodded. They all turned back to the map. They found Neville walking to the bathroom sweeping into corners to avoid other people. They watched as Hermione and the rest of the DA was sneaking to the seventh floor.
Dumbledore was no where in sight. Dobby took Draco and Harry's hand then apparated them to the bathroom.
