Severus had decided to head for the infirmary. He had some potions. Or that was his excuse. He knew Harry was having his ultrasound. He had to admit he was interested. Well he would not admit it to anyone. But he would be an Uncle to the baby. And he had come to care for Harry. He hoped for both of them it was a girl. He knew they both had their hearts set on it. Though they were both too foolish to admit it to each other. They were both far too stubborn. Draco had confirmed Harry's. He had heard his stepfather talk about the baby. Harry referred to it as a girl when he was not being careful. Severus had heard it once. He knew Harry was having trouble bonding. He hated he was pregnant. He hated who the father was. But he did not hate the baby. But he was definitely not ready to be a Papa.
He was heading up the stairs when he heard some kind of argument going on. By the time he got to the landing Harry was falling down the stairs and he caught sight of Ron and Ginny at the top of them. He had his wand and softened the fall as best as he could but Harry was almost at the bottom already. He saw Harry had been in a quidditch roll and prayed that and his spell would be enough to keep the baby safe.
He knelt down next to Harry as Pansy and some of the other snakes came his way. He watched as he removed Harry's robes that there was blood. He prayed they were not too late. He did not have enough experience with male pregnancies.
He looked at Pansy. "I need you to run to the infirmary and get Madam Pomfrey for me. Tell her what happened and get her down here."
Pansy was pale but she stumbled to her feet. "I will get her right away."
Others around him were asking what they should do. He was not sure about moving Harry. He was a field medic. He had never dealt with this before. He was worried the baby might be hurt more if he moved him. He cared about the Papa and the baby right now. And he did not think Harry could handle losing the baby. He might not feel a bond with it but he would feel guilt over not protecting it. He listened in shock as Blaise told him what had happened, they having over heard Ginny threatening the baby whom they called an abomination and her and her brother causing Harry to take the fall down the stairs.
Poppy showed up beside him with Lucius at his side. "Oh Merlin what happened to him?'
Moving back so she could look at Harry he explained what he knew. "I did not want to move him until I knew if he was okay."
Lucius looked down at his husband as Poppy was running the test. Remus was with them. Filius and McGonagall had been summoned. They were taking Ginny and Ron to the headmaster. It would be up to him to decide if they summoned the aurors. At the very least Severus knew they would be expelled. There was no way that Lucius would not allow anything less then that for the kids who had attacked his husband.
Poppy motioned for Severus to pick Harry up. "He did not lose the baby. At least not yet. That quidditch role saved the baby for now."
Severus knew Lucius wanted more but he looked at his friend. "Let us take Harry up to the infirmary. I am sure Poppy will tell us more when we get up there."
When Harry was in a bed Poppy confirmed it was not out of the woods yet. Harry himself had taken a serious blow to the head and the fact he was still out bothered her. And while he had not lost the baby yet Harry had taken a blow to the lower abdomen and there was a chance that he could still lose the baby. He was going to have to be as still as possible for a few days until the wound to his stomach healed and just pray that the baby did not go into distress. For now she used a bed sticking spell on Harry to immobilize him. She explained it was as much for Harry as the baby. She warned them between the potions she had Severus help feed Harry and the blow to his head he would likely not wake for a day. It would be a week before they knew if the baby would make it.
Lucius sunk down onto the bed next to him."This is my fault. It's my fault. All my talk about heirs. He should have been celebrating not running off in tears."
Severus was surprised to learn it was a little girl and to hear what had happened. "The only people to blame here are the two who pushed your husband Lucius."
Looking at the monitoring spell Lucius was reminded it was only a half hour since the ultrasound. He and Harry should have been celebrating. He knew Harry did not want the baby to begin with. But he knew Harry would be devastated if they lost their little girl. He knew he had been selfish. He had been selfish to demand a baby of Harry so young. And if his husband had to suffer the devastating pain of losing his daughter, he had no idea how he could help Harry if it happened.
Minerva came to the door. "Albus is sending for the aurors. He has heard what has happened and believes the kids will be charged with assault of your husband."
Lucius looked up from his husband and at his son. "Draco can you stay with him. I know he is out but I don't want him alone. I want to see this."
His son sunk down onto the bed with Harry. He readily agreed to stay with Harry. No one was surprised Lucius wanted to go. And no one would argue it as well. They knew that Lucius would want to tear them apart for that they had done to his husband and baby. Even if the baby was still alive. They could only imagine what would happen if Harry lost the baby. Killing an unborn baby in their world was manslaughter, even though abortion was legal. But they kept hope it would not come down to that. They would not give up hope. Harry was a fighter and he would fight for his baby. No matter how he had felt he would fight for her.

The Weasleys could not believe this. They had been informed of the fight that their kids had with Harry. They had not spoken with Harry since his wedding. And definitely had not approved of his marriage. Or the fact he lied about it. But they were shocked how the kids had acted and definitely did not like their term for the baby. The shock and anger led to confusion with the couple as they watched both the aurors and Lucius and Severus came in with Remus.
Moody had been told what had happened. He looked at the kids. "The two of you are under arrest for assault and attempted manslaughter."
Arthur stepped up. "I admit that they should not have said that to Harry and should have been more careful but they don't deserve prison time. It was an accident."
Moody turned to him. "They have been heard to make threats against Harry and tonight at his baby. We have witnesses. They will be facial prosecution."
Lucius and Remus were surprised. They had believed the Weasleys had considered Harry a son before that summer. And thought that it would come out. They loved their kids. But they could have at least seen their kids needed to face the consequences. They were their youngest but still. If Draco had done it Lucius would have gotten him the top lawyers to help him get an easy sentence but he would have known Draco needed to face trial for it.
Molly looked at Remus when her kids were being taken away. "It was an accident. They did not mean to hurt him or the baby. And you know it."
Remus shook his head. "I can't believe you. If that was Penny or Fleur with your grandbaby fighting for their life, how would you be acting?"
The woman for a moment looked like she was going to say something but she turned and left with her husband and the aurors. Remus knew Harry's brothers who were in the infirmary with Draco, Fred and Charlie with his husband would remain behind Harry. But it seemed that the old Malfoy/Weasley grudge extended to his husband. Neither Remus nor Lucius could understand. Ron and Ginny would likely not face serious time for the fall itself had been partly an accident even with the threats and fight, but they had been expelled from the school before Moody was summoned.
Moody was still there and he looked at Remus. "Would you like me to tell Sirius? It is his granddaughter after all."
Remus shook his head. "I will tell my husband myself though I don't know if he will even care enough to come and see Harry."
Moody knew what was going on. He had told Sirius himself that he thought the man was being a fool and needed to get his head out of his ass. He did not think Remus had it wrong. But they were both hoping that the news his son was pregnant and fighting for his baby's life might snap some sense into the mutt once and for all. Remus thought if Sirius did not come he would lose his son. Harry may forgive him for not being at the wedding. But if he was not for this he'd lose Harry forever.
Remus turned to leave. "I will go ad talk with my husband. I just hope for Harry and my granddaughter's sake that I can kick sense into his fat head."
