Chapter Fourteen:

For the next month Harry and Draco became almost inseparable, Harry was always near Draco and had befriended the Slytherin's friends (except for Blaise) as Draco had tried to get along with Harry's. He had not forgiven Weasley for punching him; the concept of losing his baby was too hard to grasp especially when male pregnancies were so dangerous.

Hermione and Draco got on so well that they did homework together and had intellectual discussions that left everyone around them reeling.

It was towards the end of his eighth month in late March when everything took a turn for the worse. One evening Harry was called to Dumbledore's office and he didn't return, Draco went to Uncle Sev's office but he wasn't in and none of his or Harry's friends knew what was going on.

Harry had been gone for the night and the following day before Draco approached Professor McGonagall in her office after classes. Nervously he knocked on the door and waited for the "come in" before entering.

"Professor."

"Mister Malfoy, I was wondering when you would come and see me."

Draco bit his lip "so you know where Harry is then?"

"Mister Potter has gone to defeat You-Know-Who."

The blond fell heavily onto the nearest chair and muttered "we didn't get to say goodbye, what if he doesn't come back?"

"I'm sure Mister Potter will be fine, Mister Malfoy. Would you like a biscuit?"

"No thank you ma'am."

She peered over her glasses at him but said nothing as a silvery lynx streaked through the stone and paused before speaking in Kingsley Shaklebolt's rich baritone.

"Minerva, he's gone. For good, Death Eaters have been captured and our side seems to be intact ," the lynx paused and bowed it's head "we can't find Potter. There's a body near where he was last seen, it might be him but it's difficult to tell. I'll update you as we find out more."

Staring at the spot where the patronus disappeared from Draco felt the tears running down his cheeks "no, no, no, no."

"Mist- Draco. Draco look at me" McGonagall was around the desk and kneeling in front of him, "you need to take a deep breath, in and out."

Draco cried out in pain and clutched at his pregnant belly "oh it hurts, please make it stop!"

The Professor jumped up and levitated Draco, and the chair, before running with them floating alongside her to the Hospital Wing which, thankfully, was on the same floor. They burst through the doors with McGonagall shouting "Poppy! We need you!"

Madam Pomfrey ran out of her office gasping at the sight of McGonagall helping Draco onto the bed as he curled over protecting his stomach, whilst crying.

"I'll take it from here, Minerva. Draco, love, is there anyone you want with you?"

"Pansy and Hermione" Draco sobbed and McGonagall ran to find the two girls.

"Now this is early Draco, what happened?"

"Harry's gone!" The blond wailed and ceased to talk reduced to sobbing.

Poppy paused and mentally gathered herself, she couldn't mourn for the boy and take care of her patient- she had to be strong. Drawing her wand she waved it over Draco gasping when she realised that he was in labour, the shock of hearing about Harry forced his magic to start creating the birth canal and his child was ready to come out, a month early.

"Draco, love, I'm going to change you into a hospital gown. You're birth canal is almost fully formed and you're four centimetres dilated."

The blond nodded and moved to sit up so she could magic him out of the school uniform and into the hospital robes. Once that was done she went to get a bowl and a cloth as the two girls came running in, one to either side of the bed to grasp each of Draco's hands.

Hermione had tear tracks on her face and Pansy was pale but neither of them said anything. The three of them stayed in silence as they waited for Madam Pomfrey to tell them how Draco was doing. Male births were usually a lot quicker than female ones because the magic made everything speed up.

"Draco, you're almost fully dilated so you're going to need to brace yourself to start pushing soon."

The blond nodded and started to breathe deeply and slowly, hands tightening on the girls' hands as his magic swirled around him.

Madam Pomfrey frowned as she waved her wand over him, "Draco you need to start pushing at the next contraction."

The blond let out a yell as the contraction came a few minutes later which made him then flop on the bed exhausted because the physical exertion had weakened him after the sudden magic surges to create the birth canal and the emotional exhaustion from his grief over Harry.

The three women tried to get him to push at the next contraction but he just rolled his head muttering "enough, Harry please."

Pansy had to leave the room because she couldn't bear to see her best friend in such a helpless state, leaving Hermione and Madam Pomfrey to deal with Draco.

Inside the Hospital Wing neither woman was having much success so Pomfrey drew Hermione aside "we need to get him motivated or the baby won't come out and they'll both die."

"I don't know how to, he needs Harry" bother women turned to look at Draco who hadn't moved.

The doors of the Hospital Wing burst open and on the threshold stood a man covered in dirt and blood, he scanned the room before rushing to Draco side "Draco, love."

"Harry?"

"Yeah, it's me." Harry pressed his bloody lips to Draco's as his hand moved to caress the bump, leaving behind a smear of dirt on the gown.

Draco pulled away and had blood over his lips and dirt where Harry's face had brushed against his, "come on love, we need to get our baby out of you."

Letting out a soft sob Draco sniffled "that's the first time you've called it our baby."

"Poppy?" Harry turned to the mediwitch who moved swiftly to the end of the bed peering between Draco's legs.

"On the next contraction, you need to push hard Draco, the baby's crowning!"

Clutching at Harry's hands Draco let out a loud yell as he pushed with all his might while Harry whispered encouraging things into his ear.

After a few more pushes a cry pierced the air and their child was born, Madam Pomfrey cleaned the baby and cut the umbilical cord before taking the measurements as Draco fell back into Harry's arms. Hermione moved forward and waved her wand over Harry so he was clean as he was kicking off his shoes before he climbed into the bed behind Draco.

Madam Pomfrey handed the bundle over "congratulations, you have a daughter, do you have a name?" she smiled.

Cradling his daughter to his chest Draco smiled as he stroked her cheek "Lily. Lily Narcissa Potter-Malfoy"

Harry's arms tightened around his lover and he buried his face in the back of Draco's neck letting his tears pool there, touched that Draco had named their daughter after their mothers.

Once he collected himself Harry looked down at his child brushing a hand over the full head of black hair whispering, as he did so, "my little flower. Our little girl."
