REPOST 09/08/2005
I AM WHAT...!
I woke up the next morning with the feeling of Harry softly, caressing circles on my stomach. I sighed contently and snuggled closer. I still could not believe what had happened the night before. It was the most wonderful night of my life. Up to that point, I had had other lovers before, but this was not just a quick shag. We made love. It might sound cliché and all, but that was truly what we did.
I turned around so that I was facing Harry. I looked up at him and smiled, knowing that I probably would not be able to stop smiling.
"Hi," I said.
"Morning love," he replied. He smiled and leaned over
"Last night was amazing Harry. You don't know how long I've waited for that."
"Yes, it was Draco. Why didn't you say anything sooner? How long have you felt this way?" he asked.
"Well, I was sure you would never return my feelings. I have had a crush on you since sixth year. I realized a few weeks ago that I loved you."
"Oh, so that explains all the stolen glances last year. I had no idea what to make of if. I thought I was losing my mind. Or I thought I was hallucinating that you were looking at me with longing and want. I was really confused. Then, I started having dreams about it. I liked the fact that you were looking at me like that. So, I eventually started to like you."
"So we both liked each other since sixth year. How come we haven't admitted our feelings for each other before this?" I asked.
"Well, I guess it just wasn't the right time for us to be together. But now that I have you, I'm not letting you go, love."
"You better not," I leaned forward and kissed those perfect, delicious lips.
After our kiss we just lay there completely content in each others arms. I never wanted to leave, I felt so safe here. There was neither Voldemort nor my father. I wanted to lay there in his arms forever, but I knew I could not. I sighed and looked up at him from his chest.
"As much as I hate to leave, we have to get up, class will be starting soon. My dorm mates are probably wondering where I was all night."
"Yeah, mine will be too. Hey, what are you going to say to your father?" Oh no, I had forgotten about that.
"I don't know. I have no clue what to put in the letter, but I know father will be furious. He'll either come to school in person or send me a howler. Either way it won't be good."
"Don't worry about it Draco. I'll protect you. But you'll see everything is going to be just fine."
"I really hope so Harry, I really do. Well, we better get up. We have to leave whether we want to or not."
He nodded. We had to get out of bed. I looked around for my clothes, which were thrown all around the room. I chuckled softly. I picked up my clothes and put them on. When I was finished, I looked at Harry who was also done dressing. He looked at me before I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him. God, can I be clingy or what? He also wrapped his arms around me.
"Don't worry about it Draco, everything is going to be alright." I looked at him and nodded. We walked out of the Room of Requirement to the Grand staircase and stopped. I looked at him. He grabbed my face and brought me into a passionate kiss.
We broke the kiss gasping for air. "Have a good day love. Meet me in the Room of Requirement tonight. We have some homework to do among other things," he teased.
"Tonight it is then. Bye love."
I watched Harry until he disappeared behind a corner at the top of the stairs. I made my way to the Slytherin portrait, said the password and made my way to my Head Boy room. When I stepped inside the room, I found Blaise sleeping on the couch. He must have been worried that I did not come back last night. I walked over to him and lightly shook him awake.
"Huh…wha...?" he said.
"It's me Blaise. Have you been here all night?"
He sat up and rubbed his eyes trying to wake himself up. "Yeah I got worried last night when you didn't come back. So stayed here to wait for you, I must have dozed off"
"You didn't have to do that. I was just fine."
"Where on earth were you last night? You told me you would go to Dumbledore, then I thought you would come right back to the common room."
"Um... I was with Harry afterward," a blush started to make its way up on my face.
"Why are you blushing...Oh, My God. You didn't!" Blaise almost screamed with delight.
I giggled. "Yes, you heard me," I actually giggled. Some Malfoy I am.
"Blaise, I had no idea how it happened. Everything was going fine with Dumbledore. Then I had to take Veritaserum. I confessed that I love Harry, next thing I know he's kissing me in front of Dumbledore, telling me he loves me too. After that, we went to the Room of Requirement. Oh my god Blaise, it was so amazing, he made love to me. It was absolute bliss." I said all this faster then I actually intended, not even stopping for a breath. I looked at Blaise's puzzled face.
"Whoa Draco, slow down there...start over. Tell me everything that happened and start from the beginning." I took a deep breath and started again.
"Well, after I left the common room I met Harry at Dumbledore's office. We went inside and sat down. I told Dumbledore I couldn't go back home, that I didn't want to be a Death Eater. He told..." I suddenly stopped talking. I just bolted from the couch, ran into the bathroom, and promptly vomited into the toilet bowl. I sank to my knees, laying my head against the bowl.
"Ugh…" that's all I manage to say when I heard Blaise coming into the bathroom.
"Are you okay Draco? What was that? One minute you were fine, the next minute you're throwing up."
"I have no idea. I was fine, and then I just started feeling really nauseous. I actually feel better now. Maybe I just got a little over excited," I said.
"Blaise, I'm going to go take a shower. I'll meet you in the common room in a little while. I promise we can talk about what happened tonight."
"Okay, Draco. Are you sure you're alright?"
"Yes Blaise, I'll be fine. I'll see you in a bit" I said. He nodded and left the room. After my shower, I was still thinking about what happened earlier as I walked over to my closet. I mean that was really weird. Something like that had never happened to me before. I did not get sick. I never got sick like that. As I pondered on this, I put on my clothes, threw on my school robes, grabbed my cloak and school bag then headed to the common room where I met Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle and Blaise.
"Good morning Drakie, I didn't see you get back last night. Where were you? Seeing someone behind my back?" Pansy said while half glaring at me, arm crossed, tapping her foot on the floor. UGH! Is that woman totally clueless? How many times do I have to tell her that I do not like her at all?
"Pansy, first, stop calling me that horrible name. Second, it's none of your business where I was last night. I was never together with you. Now, if you'll excuse me I'm rather hungry and going to breakfast." I said smugly. I looked at Pansy. I could see her eyes watering. She turned around and runs up the stairs to the girl dormitories crying. Hmm, I finally knocked some sense into that woman.
"Let's go," I said. Well, that was more like ordered.

The rest of the day was rather boring. I could not wait to see Harry, or to curl up in his arms. After dinner, I made my way to my Head Boy room. I grabbed the book I need and then make my way to the Room of Requirement. When I got there, I realized the door was not there so I thought about it.
I need a place where Harry and I can be comfortable and study...and maybe some snogging. I repeated that three times in my head. A few seconds later, a door appeared on the wall in front of me. 'God, I love this room.' I entered the room to find a very cozy sitting area in the middle and there were shelves with books all around the room. 'Yes, this will do nicely,' I thought. I sat down on one of the very comfortable couches and waited for Harry. I decided to start the letter to father. I grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill and began.
Dear Father,
What you have heard from your informant is very true. He and I have become friends over the past few months. I have asked for his help father. I do not wish to become a Death Eater, I have no desire to follow in your footsteps and live up to the Malfoy name. I know exactly where my loyalties lie and they most certainly are not with Voldemort. The light will win this war father. I will not be coming home this Christmas or ever again for that matter. You cannot make me go back home. I am of age now and do not have to listen to you anymore. Goodbye father.
Your former son,
Draco Ryan Malfoy
Just as I finished my letter Harry walked into the room. I looked at him and smiled. He walked over the couch, dropped his bag, sat down next me, and sighed.
"Busy day?" I asked putting the letter into my bag.
"Uh huh...you have no idea. Come here," he said grinning. I moved to sit closer him, and was pulled onto his lap as he wrapped his arms around me. I sighed. This was right where I want to be. I snuggled into his chest. I lifted my head up so I could look at him. Harry leaned over and gave me a very soft and sweet kiss.
"I missed you," he said against my mouth and kissed me harder.
"I missed you too," I said after we broke our kiss.
"How was your day?" he asked.
So I told him how my day was. With what happened that morning after I went back to my room. He kept asking me if I was all right. I told him that Blaise knew about us. He smiled at that and told me that he told Granger and Longbottom about us. He said Longbottom almost fainted, but that Granger totally understood. She also said to tell me that if I ever hurt Harry that she knows a very powerful castrating charm.
'Man that woman can be scary when she wants to be.'
After that, we did a bit of homework and had some very nice snog sessions, I might add. "Harry I have to go to the owlery and send my father a letter. Then I will be heading back to the common room to meet Blaise, so we can talk about what happened last night since I didn't get a chance to fully explain it to him this morning."
"Sure no problem, love, I'm exhausted anyways. I think I'll just turn in early tonight."
"Same place tomorrow night?" I asked.
"Of course love." After another very steamy kiss, I grabbed my stuff and headed to the door when I heard Harry voice.
"Oh and Draco?"
"Yes?"
"I love you."
I smiled. "I love you too Harry, you have no idea how much."
I turned and left the room. I made my way to the Owlery. I whistled for Arrius to come to me. I tied the letter to his leg. "Hey there boy, I need you to carry this to my father. Come back the moment he takes the letter from you. You don't have to wait for a reply." He hooted and I watched him fly off into the night sky. There were clear skies that night. The next day was going to be a beautiful.
My talk with Blaise seemed like to go on for hours. If you know Blaise like I do, he always wanted to know every single detail. I finally made my way up to my room and fell on my bed exhausted. I did not think I even changed into my pajamas. I just fell asleep with my clothes on. It was a peaceful dreamless sleep.

It had been two weeks since Harry made love to me. Everything had been going wonderful. I had not heard from my father at all which is not normal behavior for my father. I would have thought that he would have come to school and try to make me come back, but he had not, not that I was complaining.
Harry and I have gotten closer, in more ways then one, but I had been having morning sickness for the past two weeks and I had no idea why. My eating patterns had been extremely weird too. Like yesterday at lunch, I had a huge craving for pickles and marshmallows. At dinner, it was worse. I had mashed potatoes and vanilla pudding with sardines. Blaise kept looking at me funny asking me what the heck I was eating. Then I snapped at him, telling him to mind his own business. Then I apologized for snapping at him. I was a mess.
So now it was 5:30 in the morning and I had my face in the toilet bowl, losing the contents of my stomach. I heard Harry coming into the bathroom. He had been sneaking into my room with his invisibility cloak for the past week. He knelt down beside me and rubbed my back softly.
"Draco, are you okay? This is not normal. You've been sick every morning since I've been staying here."
"I don't know Harry. I have no idea what is wrong with me. I've been eating the strangest food. I get sick every morning. My hormones are out of control. Maybe I have a horrible disease or something." I wanted to cry, which was really weird for me because I never cried. I am a Malfoy. Malfoys do not cry, but then again; I am not a normal Malfoy now, am I?
Harry must have seen my eyes tearing up because I felt him wrap his arms around me. I leaned my head on his shoulder. I felt him softly run his fingers through my hair.
"It's okay love. Why don't we go see Madam Pomfrey at lunch? I'll come with you. Nobody will see us because they will be at lunch."
I looked up at him and nodded. He kissed my forehead. "Now up you go. Let's get you cleaned up. I need to go back to the Gryffindor tower to get ready for the day." I nodded again. He helped me up and left the bathroom. After I took a shower and brushed my teeth, I headed back into my room and walked to my closet. I had almost forgotten Harry was still in the room. I felt Harry put his arms around my waist and lay his chin on my shoulder. I leaned back against him. He kissed my neck softly and I sighed.
"I'll see you at lunch love, meet me in the entrance hall." he said.
I turned around so that I was facing him. I put my arms around his neck and pulled him into a deep kiss. "See you at lunch then." I said after we broke the kiss. He nodded and gave me one last kiss, then grabbed his invisibility cloak before leaving the room. I sighed. I hoped that Madam Pomfrey would be able to figure out what was wrong with me.
Arriving at the entrance hall a few minutes after lunch started, I saw Harry waiting for me. I looked around to see if there was anyone there before I pulled him into a hug.
"Ready to go Draco?"
"Yeah...let's go." I sighed. I have been doing that a lot lately.
"Don't worry Draco, everything will be fine."
I nodded my head and we made our way to the Hospital wing. When we arrived, I saw Madam Pomfrey sitting behind her desk in her office.
"Excuse me Madam Pomfrey." I said. She looked up from her desk, saw us and frowned. She got up from her chair and walked over to us.
"What have you two done now? I was almost beginning to think you two have grown out of your fights." She said crossing her arms.
"No Madam Pomfrey, we haven't been fighting. I just came here with Draco. He's been sick these past two weeks. He's been having morning sickness," Harry said.
"Morning sickness? You're here with him Mr. Potter? Don't you two hate each other? Why didn't you come sooner if he was sick?" she said all of this in a rush.
"No Madam Pomfrey, we're ...eh, friends now. He's been having morning sickness for the past two weeks. We didn't come sooner because we thought it would go away on it own." I said.
"Friends? Okay, well lay down on the bed over there Mr. Malfoy and we'll see if we can figure what's wrong with you." I nodded and lied down on the bed while Harry took a seat on the chair next to the bed.
Ten minutes and some very fancy wand waving later, Madam Pomfrey looked at her chart and frowns. "No, no, that can't be right, let's do it again shall we?" she muttered to herself and started over again. I sighed, how long was this going to take? I looked at Harry who just shrugged. Ten minutes later, she was shaking her head again, while talking to herself.
"What is it Madam Pomfrey? Why do you keep shaking your head about?" I said a little frustrated.
She looked up at me. "Oh, I'm sorry. I think there is something wrong with my wand. The results I'm getting can't possibly be right. I'll be right back." She walked into her office.
"Okay that was really weird," Harry said
"Yes, it was...do you think something is seriously wrong with me?" I asked, slightly worried.
"No Draco, there is nothing wrong with you. I don't know why Mada…" but Harry didn't get to finish what he wanted to say because at that moment Dumbledore walked into the room and Madam Pomfrey came back from her office.
"Professor Dumbledore what are you doing here? Draco and I just came here beca..." but Dumbledore put up his hand to stop Harry. Then he turned to Madam Pomfrey and they started talking to each other in hushed voices. Okay, now I was just getting annoyed.
"Hello? Excuse me, but could someone please tell me what's wrong with me, because, I would really like to know."
They both turned and looked at me. Dumbledore nodded and walked over to me. "Just give me ten minutes Mr. Malfoy," he said and then did the same wand waving that Madam Pomfrey did. After that, she checked the results and just stared at the chart dumbfounded.
"But Albus how is this possible? It's just not possible. How did it happen? I've never seen this happen before." Okay, this was getting on my nerves. I was about to say something but Harry beat me to it.
"Okay what is not possible? I want to know what is wrong with Draco and I want to know now."
"Calm down Mr. Potter. I was just about to tell both of you exactly what is wrong with Mr. Malfoy." He turned to look at me "You, Mr. Malfoy, are completely healthy except for the fact that you are two weeks pregnant."
"Pregnant?" I heard Harry say sounding shocked. Dumbledore turned to Harry.
"Yes, Mr. Potter, he's pregnant."
"Pregnant?"
"Yes." Dumbledore said again. I suddenly snapped out of my shock.
"I'M WHAT!" I practically shouted and then promptly fainted.
