Chapter 5
It was much that way for the last six months. Harry had been learning about taking care of children, by the help of molly and the many books he had been given by hermione. Ron no longer lived in the wizarding world. He had fallen in love with a muggle woman and lived with her pretending he had been an orphan much like his brother Percy had all but done. Harry sighed growing sleepy again. A wizard pregnancy was much different and yet similar to a witch pregnancy. Wizard pregnancy lasted only seven months not nine like females tended to do, wizards had to be watched during their pregnancy because it was a rare thing to happen among males. Harry would be having a child in one months time, he was excited an a little scared about how well he would take care of his and Severus's child. Yawning he pushed himself to his feet putting a hand on his back he waddled to the new fridge he had bought for molly because of her help. It was muggle made but he had payed for it to run on magic and not power like in the muggle world.
Harry started singing softly as he made a sandwich adding peanut butter mushrooms and pickles to it. He grabbed an apple and went to rest on the chair again groaning as he felt the baby kick a rib. "Ugh little one shh, I'm eating so hold on you will get yours soon" Harry commented to his unborn child as he devoured the sandwich. George came into the room from upstairs where he had started spending most of his time at during the day. Harry had found it odd behavior of Gorge but then he was still mourning his twin. "Hey George" Harry have gorge a small smile. "hey harry, hows the pregnancy coming along? any bad pain since the last time?" Gorge asked quietly sinking down onto the couch arm next to harry. "Everything is alright with the baby.. I'm just a little tired nothing to worry about right now..it kicked right before I had a snack though" Harry chuckled softly rolling his eyes. George smiled a real smile this time but it did not show his teeth "Want to know what it is? Because mother found out by the last medi-witch that was here to check on you and the child" He said eyeing harry's big belly.
The sound of someone stumbling out of the fireplace swearing up a storm. Draco swayed into the sitting room where harry and George were seated. He pulled something out of his pocket an enlarged it setting it on the ground, a black bag with white fur about the top of it. Harry raised an eyebrow eyeing the Slytherin in wonderment. "Harry, since you are going to have my godfather's child it means you are now part of the malfoy family.. distantly. I brought you gifts since I wont be here when the child is born. Oh and Father said he wanted to speak with you tomorrow. Thank you for getting him out of azkaban, I must leave for greece tomorrow. See you around, Potter.. Farewell George.." With that Draco apparated out of the burrow.
Harry was surprised to have seen Draco pop up at the burrow of all places. Then again Draco had been acting strange. Ever since harry had sent the letter to release Lucius from azkaban, on the grounds that the man had only been trying to protect his family. Harry felt sorry for the Malfoys because what would it have been like if Voldemort had killed off all of them over some stupid prophecy. Harry figured his father might have done the same thing Lucius had done. George watched as Harry stared after Malfoy, noting the look in Harry's eyes. Shaking his head George got up, he started pulling gift wrapped packages from the bag and a letter fell out and hit the floor quietly. Harry spotted the letter and held out a hand. "It says, Open on a full moon next to the lake at hogwarts.." George raised an eyebrow but handed Harry the letter, wondering what it said.
The rest of the weasley family was giddy about the brand new baby stuff for Harry's child. All of the new baby things were in royal purple and black arachna silk, even the dragons, griffins, an snake stuffed animals. Harry was in awe of the gifts they were prize enough for a new prince or princess of any muggle royalty. "That was very thoughtful of the Malfoys, They know I have enough money to buy things for my child. Yet I have been having trouble deciding on the colors." Harry said loud enough for everyone to hear him, then he tried to stand but felt the heavy pain in his ribs as the baby kicked again. "Naughty naughty baby, that one kind of hurt more then the last. I know I know it is probably cramped in there. Soon you will be with us...Oh how I miss your father." He sighed while Molly and George went to make him something sweet to eat.
Draco had to find out who his soul mate was before the end of the year, his merman blood would boil him in his sleep if he did not find his mate soon. The last few months had been hell on earth for him and his family. Lucius had lost his high standing in wizarding society. Dracos mother had become deathly ill during Lucius's temporary stay in azkaban. Her mermaid soul had started to collapse while her soul mate had been locked up, Draco had written Harry telling him about his family being more mer-creatures then actually wizards and witches as well as everything that meant for his own family's safety. Draco was heading to greece where his father had said there was the mermaid Goddess Athena. She would know what to do and Athena would know who his mate was as well. It was hope even if just a little hope he had left to save what was left of the malfoy family.
Athena had been contacted by Lucius saying his soul mate was very ill. Even upon his return from azkaban. That Draco would die within the year, if he did not find his soulmate before his 18th birthday. The Sea Goddess was worried about the Malfoy family greatly. She had sent a message back to Lucius telling him to send his son to her, She had an amulet for Narcissa. It would help her to become healthy again as long as she wore the amulet and never took it off. Athena swam quickly towards a greek shore hoping that Draco would be there sooner rather then later. She knew who his soul mate was because she had been having dreams of them both.
Landing his broom upon the greek shore where he and the Mermaid Goddess were to meet at. Draco was worried and kind of nervous about meeting a woman who even the muggle Greeks knew. To the muggles though she was just another myth, Draco even as he knew he had to make haist could not help but feel extreme jealousy when he remembered how Harry and the Weasley boy had been sitting so close. It had surprised him to no end because before that Draco had never even thought of Harry, as anything but a annoying brat from Gryffindor who with the help of his friends had vanquished the dark lord voldemort. He watched the shore at the spot where he was told to meet with athena. Guessing he might have to strip and get into the water to speak with her Draco had brought a towel as well as an extra change of clothes.
Soon as he transformed into his merman self he swam below the surface of the sea and around the bay waiting for Athena. Its a good thing that tonight has a full moon. Draco thought as he did spins and turns under the water enjoying the cooling sea rushing over his tail. Thats when he saw her, Athena was just as lovely as his father had said she was. Long flowing natural bleach blond hair bronzed skin and bright aqua colored eyes that even shimmered in the light of the full moon filtering down through the Greece sea."Hail Athena Goddess of the sea! I am so glad to be meeting you this night!" Draco Said bowing towards her in the waters. Flicking his own light silver-blue tail in a show of respect as his mother had once taught him to do.
She thought to herself as she approached the young Malfoy heir. This young man is indeed under the foul curse of having his blood boil if he dose not find out about his mate. Sooner rather then later would be best. "Hello Draco, here is the amulet for your mother. Tell her that she must never take it off or she will die within the day of or she will have to return forever to the sea. You might want to be prepared for who your true mate is. If you had more time then a year I would make you find out on your own." Athena said softly with a bit of sadness in her melodic voice. "Thank you so much for helping our family, You are indeed the Greatness of the seas that every one speaks of. If you tell me what my soul mate looks like and where to find him or her I can learn of the name later." Draco responds his voice soft and a little shaky from the lack of sleep and food.
Draco held tightly to the amulet Athena had given to him for his mother. He followed her to a small cavern under the sea in the great greece bay. Here they sat on a rock munching on seaweed and drinking water from a fresh undersea fountain. Once he was full he yawned and fell asleep on the a comfortably rock covered in seaweed and old worn blankets that had been lost to the sea by the wind. He awoke at dawn not realizing he had fallen asleep from a full stomach of rich food he sat up fast slipping into the water. "Draco my dear you should be more watchful of getting proper rest and food, I will tell you now who you are looking for... But you may already know him" Athena said with a bit of laughter in her voice.
She smiled at him as he slid up the surface of the rock keeping his lower half in the water out of respect. Its a Him! This is going to be better than I expected! I'm actually excited about knowing who it is. Draco though as she started to describe his soul mate to him in her lovely melodic voice. "He is a very strong man, Handsome in his own way, He tends to favor comfortable clothing over style. He has Blue-Green eyes he is very brave but has trouble telling others how he feels. I think you can relate to him in that sense. This last clue I tell you should give you the name of your soul mate, the man in whom you seek. He is six months pregnant with the child of a great dead wizard.
