Chapter 6: Discovering Mysteries

Birds chirping just outside the windows. Harry burrowed his head into the soft pillow, unwilling to wake up just yet.

He felt someone was staring at him, or rather glaring a hole into his head.

Harry Potter slowly opened his eyes and turned his head, towards the source of the glare and faced Professor Snape. He gasped on seeing the beautiful black obsidian eyes staring at him.

"Mr. Potter, what are you doing in the same room as I am? This is my room in the infirmary, who says you can be in here?"

"Madame Promfrey put me in here as she found that I had the same symptoms as you, Professor Snape."

"Still there's no excuse that you can be in this room! POPPY! POPPY! Come in here!"

Harry was confused. He felt that Professor Snape was not the same Snape in the dream scenes. It was like that Snape never existed at all.

Madame Promfrey hurried into the room, and was pleasantly surprised that Professor Snape was looking well. "How are you today, Severus? It is a miracle that you had survived after a serious bout of Cruciatus Curses. Let me check you." Thus said, she started the magical equivalent of monitoring stats all over Professor Snape.

"Hmm... hmm... you are looking so much better than yesterday. It is amazing that you managed to recover so quickly considering..."

She also did the same on Harry Potter.

"Alright, I will get a House elf to bring you two breakfast, and I want both of you to finish all of it. Then I will be back with Professor Dumbledore."

Then, all of a sudden, Professor Snape fainted with a faint whimper. Madame Promfrey quickly shot a spell for a quick diagnostics and frowned on the results shown.

"What happened? He was fine. This doesn't look good. Harry, please watch him for me, call me if anything changes. I need to consult the healers in St. Mungo's." Madame Promfrey fled the room.

Harry was surprised. Professor Snape did look like he was well, but appearance was deceiving, as he is now lying very still on the bed like death warmed over twice.

Remembering what Madame Promfrey said about his bruises were cured, he quickly removed the concealing charm on himself after casting a locking charm on the door. He took off his clothes to check on his body for those old bruises.

Harry got a shock on seeing unblemished skin on his person, except for the blue smudge right under his heart. On closer inspection, it had turned bigger than the first time and looked like a heart... or just a smudge. It had been a few months since he saw that blue circle. Curious. He had almost forgotten about this spot until he saw it again.

Sounds of moaning pain came from the next bed. Harry looked up and saw Professor Snape thrashing on the bed. He looked like he was in a great pain, his hands was clenching onto the bed sheet as if trying stop the pain. Harry hurriedly went to him, putting forth his hand on Professor Snape's heart. Single white light bubble lifted up and started to encompass Professor Snape, making him hard to see in such bright light.

With his hand on Professor Snape, he felt like a million tendrils going into Professor's body, giving healing energy vibes. It was tiring him out. He almost slumped onto the bed.

Then, quite as suddenly, the light just disappeared. In its place, a very healthy looking Professor Snape with his deep obsidian eyes staring at Harry Potter.

"What did you do, Mr. Potter?" drawled Professor Snape.

"I don't know."

"Then take your hands off of me, if you please." Dusting off the place where Harry had placed his hand on.

Harry felt hurt.

"What is that? How did you get that?" exclaimed Professor Snape on seeing Harry's blue circle-turned-heart on his chest.

On his haste to get to Professor Snape, Harry had forgotten to wear his robe back and was half naked, waist up.

"I don't know how I got it either."

"This is serious, Harry, do you know what that means? When the blue circle had turned almost heart-shaped, it means that you are going to give birth soon."

"WHAT?" gasped Harry. "I can't be pregnant! Wizards can't get pregnant! I haven't even... I mean I have never been with... " Words failed Harry, his eyes widen in surprise.

"Sorry to disappoint you, in magical world, wizards can give birth through magical means."

"But... but... I don't show as being pregnant. I mean, aren't being pregnant makes you fat?"

"No. It only shows in that single blue circle as the baby is magically carried. In the case of a wizard."

Harry fainted. Again. Severus hurried grabbed his wand and levitated him to his bed.

"Poppy! Poppy! Come in here! Quickly! Mr. Potter had fainted!"
