AN: Hello Loves- This is an update- unedited version of Chapter Three. This story has been moved to AO3- Archive of Our Own with the title Fixing Fate's Errors, and has been edited and updated there. My username is ToxicAngel13 there and I have more stories that I keep up with posted there!
The end of the school year was much more solemn than he remembered it being the first time, when Cedric had died. Dumbledore wasn't there, as he was already having to attend hearings about the last task, and the abuse that Harry had suffered through. McGonagall looked like she was twice her age, and kept shooting glances at him. She hadn't talked to him yet, which just pissed off his boyfriend and friends. As his head of house she should have already spoken to him, but it seemed she was unable to face him. The rest of the students were either sending him pity filled glances or trying to tell him useful facts on how to get back at his 'family' and the guardian that placed him there. Draco Malfoy in particular was vocal. The Malfoy heir was furious about the abuse, more to the point he was furious that a magical child had been abused by muggles.
In the other timeline he would have found Malfoy inserting himself in his sphere of friends and having his bodyguards protect Harry from people crowding him to be funny. Hell he would have suggested anyone who even mentioned being friendly with him to go to the infirmary and have their head checked. Now it was kind of annoying, especially because Malfoy wouldn't let himself be shoved away. Each attempt that he made to distance himself from the platinum haired blonde was met with a condescending grin.
"I don't think so Potter. Someone needs to look out for you, and while I see you've gotten Diggory as a guard dog, but I'm not chancing anyone here getting any ideas now that it's known what the muggles did to you." He spoke imperiously, putting more food on Harry's plate. He had just sat down at the Gryffindor table like he owned. Then he snorted. "Besides a snake in lion's fur can only stand it's prey so long. How you managed this long without strangling one of these flea bitten mongrels I'll never know." He added in a conspirator like whisper. Harry tried to ignore him as his stomach suddenly rolled at the new addition to his plate. Malfoy's look sharpened into worry as his eyes looked over his face, and then he was glaring at Cedric.
"Could you please just stop and Eat?" Harry quickly spoke, trying to get the sharp blonde's mind off whatever was going through it. Malfoy looked at him and settled, draping an arm around his back.
"Alright? Do you mind if I took the haggis from your plate? I just realized it's the last bit out." He hummed. Harry bit back a grimace as he took it without waiting for a reaction. He'd swear he was still pregnant and it looked like Malfoy suspected his condition in the very least.
Cho looked Black in the eyes, not backing down. The older man wasn't scaring her and she wanting him to know it. He didn't want to take her home with them, but she wasn't leaving her little brother alone with him until she knew everything was alright there, and besides they had an appointment at Gringotts.
"You have no choice in this Mr. Black. I'm coming home with my little brother to determine his safety. My parent's have agreed to allow me to spend up to a week. In the morning I'm taking Hadi to the bank to check on his accounts, then to a private healer to have him looked over again. I have no doubt you had these plan's too, but mine are already down on paper." She hummed, shrinking her brother's trunk absentmindedly. Hadi was snickering behind her and Black finally growled.
"Fine. You're sleeping on the couch though, I don't have a spare room. And I'm coming with the two of you in the morning." He warned. She shrugged, not phased by it.
"Perfect. Come now Hadi, we need to get to your new home and get you fed, you are on a schedule. You need to keep it to finally get some meat on those bones of yours." She chirped, happy with her victory. She stopped as she notice the frown on her little brother's face.
"She won't be sleeping on the couch. I'll give her my bed if I have to." He protested, looking like he was going to cry. Cho sighed, knowing that her little brother's emotions were fragile right now. Black looked like he had been punched in that one sentence though, proving to Cho that he cared for Hadi's emotional well being at least. The older man kneeled down and looked into the teen's green eyes.
"I was only joking Ry. I promise I wouldn't make her sleep on the couch. She was being pushy." He murmured. Hadi looked away from him and Black looked up to her and sighed.
"I'm sorry I was disrespectful. You will have a bed." He promised. She grinned, nodding before pulling Hadi to her side, and ruffling his hair.
"Enough with the puppy dog eyes kiddo. You're devastating with them. He caved." She joked playfully. Hadi smiled broadly hugged her and smirking at Black, who got up with a groan.
"I should have known there was a Slytherin hiding in there." He muttered playfully, offering the portkey. Both touched it and them they were in a lavish home.
"Welcome to Padfoot's Hideaway. I'll show you to your rooms, then we'll have dinner." He murmured. Cho smiled approvingly, keeping Hadi at her side as they followed his godfather.
Later that night, after everyone was fed Cho followed Hadi into his room, wanting to check in on him. Black was nice, if a little odd at times, but she didn't have a problem with him keeping custody of Hadi. He'd be good for the Teen, but he was going to kill Cedric when he caught on they were dating. She shot a silencing spell at the door, a little smug at being able to use her magic during the summer. Everyone of Hadi's supporters had gone to their parent's who pressured the ministry into making allowences for them to have the restrictions lifted. As such everyone who could protect Hadi now could use their magic anytime, Hadi included. The teen rolled his eyes, relaxing on his bed and looking a little green around the gills so to speak.
"What's going on kiddo, don't think I haven't notice you retreat to the bathroom and put up silencing spells." She asked, a little worried that he was either sick or harming himself as a way to cope. He groaned, looking at the ceiling and she sat next to him, rubbing his stomach soothingly, like her mother would do when she was ill. He looked at her a moment before sitting up.
"Did you know I never went through the basic sexual health classes normally offered to muggleborns and muggle raised children?" He asked suddenly. She froze, a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"No I didn't. Madame Pomfrey should have included you though." She murmured slowly. Hadi sighed, looking away from her and at her hand that was still rubbing his stomach.
"I think Sirius is going to kill Cedric after the healer appointment." He suddenly announced and she closed her eyes. The reason for the silencing spells, it was that he was throwing up.
"When did you two have sex?" She asked softly. He laughed a little, laying back down heavily.
"Before the final task. I didn't think about protection because hey we're both boys and I was nervous enough that we were going to take that step. Not that I didn't want to. I enjoyed myself all night long, and he was gentle and I never wanted to leave that bed." He replied. She closed her eyes tighter. She could have lost her brother and her niece or nephew that night if he was pregnant. And it wasn't too early for a male to experience morning sickness. She'd have to make sure Black knew hurting Cedric was off limits and that Cedric knew he had to get a ring on her baby brother's finger before they became parents.
"It's going to be okay." She promised. Hadi laughed shortly.
"I'm 14 almost 15 and I may be pregnant. I have an evil ass who wants me dead, an old ass who let me be abused, and the wizarding ass world who will want me to get rid of it. They want me to settle down with a nice girl and spawn my children through her." He replied sarcastically, showing just how badly he was affected by the world they lived in and it's expectations. She kept rubbing his stomach.
"You're young, yes physically. If you're pregnant then it's just another little person who will love you unconditionally , and you'll have plenty of help raising it. As for the other things. Nothing is going to happen to you or that baby if there is one, and the wizarding world can bugger off it's your choice." She replied firmly, looking at him. He smiled slightly.
"Somehow you have this was of making it seem like it will be okay." He murmured. She grinned.
"That's because it will be, and if anyone tries to make it so it's not, then they have to deal with me." She replied, her voice playful but serious. She cleared her throat.
"You have to go to bed now, we have an early morning. Bank then the Healers. If what you think is confirmed I'll restrain Black and you get to call Cedric. I'm going to pummel his ass for not using protection himself though." She replied, standing up. As she moved to the door she looked at him gently. "Sleep well little brother. I'm just next door and I've channeled the wards into my room. If you try to cast a silencing spell it will be taken down." She warned, before leaving. Harry sighed, looking up at his ceiling. Tomorrow was going to be one hell of a day. And Cedric was going to be tore apart by his very over protective Godfather.
"We're here for our appointment with the manager of the Potter vaults." Sirius spoke, his voice hard. He hadn't liked the fact that Harry only knew of his trust. With everything that had happened it stunk of something he didn't even want to think about. Dumbledore had a hell of a lot to pay for. The Goblin sneered at him and Harry cleared his throat. The goblin looked at him with a softer glance, shocking Sirius.
"If we could have Griphook attend to I'd like that. He's a good friend." He spoke almost demurely. The Goblin grinned, shocking Sirius again. The mean tempered little beast cared about nothing more than Gold.
"Of course Master Potter. We have been auditing your accounts, as was requested. Reparations are being made, and in accordance to your parent's wills I must inform you that you will be taking a full inheritance test this visit. No worries though, it is not harmful to a wizard in any way other than losing a couple drops of blood." He responded, before yelling for Griphook. Sirius noted the frown on Chang's face at the mention of blood loss, but figured she was still in her mama bear mode, brushing it out of his mind.
"What amount was stolen?" Sirius barked. Chang sighed and he shot a glare at her.
"I believe you heard me the first time Lord Black. One Albus Dumbledore, declared executor of Master Potter's vaults on his own decree withdrew vast amounts. All of which are almost repaid. Now Master Potter if you will. I believe it is time for the next portion of your visit." Griphook murmured. Harry smiled.
"Of course Griphook. Forgive my Godfather, he is realizing that he misplaced his trust for years." He murmured, offering his arm. Griphook pulled out a large knife and everyone stiffened except Harry. The Goblin cut his palm in one swift motion and Harry didn't even wince. Several large drops of blood fell into an inkwell before the cut healed itself. Harry leaned back in his seat as Griphook placed a quill into the pot. It rose into the air after a moment, then down onto the paper.
'Lord Hadrian James Potter-Black
Son of Lord James Arthur Potter and Lady Lilian Marie Cormaine-Evans-Potter
Heir of: Lord Sirius Orion Black, Lord Godric Gryffindor, Lord Salazar Slytherin, Lady Rowena Ravenclaw, Lady Morganna
Vaults: 2, 12, 13, 14, 123, 145, 1145, 1829
Monetary Value: Undisclosed due to the presence of non family
Creature Inheritance: Incubus (57% Active), Veela (40% Active), Wizard (3% Active)
Mating Status: Active, Bonded with one of Four'
Sirius looked faint, as did Cho, but Harry had known, not about the fourth mate- that was different, but about the rest. He resisted looking over at his godfather as realization sparked in the other man eyes. He knew that Harry was dating, that he had had sex. There was no way to be 'mated' unless intercourse had occurred. He could feel the rage building in his second (according to how it had gone before) mate. Cho shook herself out of her stupor first, motioning to Griphook to pause as he went to continue, a furious look on her face. Harry didn't know what she was mad about. Before- in the other timeline, Hermione had just been sad.
"Cormaine is a wizarding family- a French Wizarding family." She spat out. Griphook nodded.
"Mrs. Potter was adopted by the Evans after being placed in an English Orphanage when her parents were killed. Not with the family's knowledge. She was a Pureblood as much as her husband was." Griphook responded, and Harry froze. Hermione, a muggleborn had been with him before. She wouldn't have noticed the additional name in his mother's title, and she wouldn't have known off the top of her head that it was pureblood. Even Sirius' anger faulted as the room realized that Harry was in fact pureblood.
"My mum wasn't a muggleborn?" He asked faintly. This was just another thing he'd never been told. But damn it, he knew that there were measures taken with a pureblooded orphan. He would have never gone to muggles. He would have never been abused. This had conspiracy written all over it, and he didn't like it at all. It was one more thing that meant that he had been kept abused for an agenda- Dumbledore's agenda. Sirius pulled him into his lap without a word, inhaling into his neck and making him boneless at the sensation. He felt a smirk slowly cross his Godfather's face at his reaction, and he saw Cho's sharp look. There would be no hiding anything from his self proclaimed older sister- not when she knew he had an inheritance. Something sharpened in her gaze as she turned her eyes to Sirius. She wasn't going to go easy on him.
"No. Your mother was a pureblood, but she never came into the bank to verify her identity and claim her inheritance Master Potter as such you were considered a half blood until this test. The information gathered here that pertains to your status, will be forwarded to the offices dealing with your case. Additional charges may be filed against Albus Dumbledore in light of the fact that he allowed a pureblood child to be abused." Griphook responded, breaking the tension in the room. Harry looked at him and nodded- his throat tight. Griphook cleared his throat, looking uncomfortable with the turn of events.
"This meeting can be concluded here if you want Master Potter. I know you have just experienced a great shock. However I do suggest that you see a healer, and introduce your first mate to your support system." He added, his voice almost meek as he dared to look at Sirius, who was once again simmering. Cho cleared her throat, drawing their attention. Her eyes were burning with unrestrained anger.
"I know his first mate and if you allow it I will use your fireplace to call him to come. I think he should be present for the rest of our business today." She spoke, her words tight and showing her anger,
She looked to Sirius as if she expected him to protest, but there was a snarl forming on his lips, and his arms tightened around Harry possessively. The teen had a sudden insight. Sirius had a creature inheritance too- he'd never admitted to it before. And now that he knew Harry had one and that it was active he understood his attraction to him, And he was feeling possessive. Griphook motioned to the fire and Cho moved to it, calling out the address to Cedric's home. He could feel Sirius' growl against his back and couldn't help but squirm, his body responding to the stimulus it was getting from his mate. He heard Cedric's voice through the fire, answering Cho's call and felt guilty for his reaction, but then Sirius pressed a kiss to his neck.
It was like every nerve in his body exploded in that one action, and he didn't remember it feeling like this. But then again he was mourning his first mate's and child's death when Sirius had broke down and admitted his attraction. That would have affected his state of mind. He whimpered slightly, and Cho's head swung toward him so fast he was surprised her neck didn't snap. She looked murderous as she swung up to her feet and moved to them. She removed him from Sirius' lap and grip in a firm movement.
"You are supposed to be the adult Black. Hands off." She hissed before guiding him with her to the fire. She knelt back down and he could feel Sirius looking at him. His gaze was burning into him. Suddenly Harry didn't think he was going to have to worry about having blue balls. If Sirius' reaction was anything to go by he was more than ready to help his needs. He was still going to kill Cedric after the appointment though.
"Cedric, things came up at Gringotts. You need to get your arse over here now. I think you should be here for the rest of today's events anyway." She demanded. He heard his first mate inhale sharply.
"Is Hadi alright?" He asked, his voice filled with so much worry. Cho snorted.
"He just had the hell shocked out of him. He's not a halfblood Diggory. His mother was as pure as his father." She growled. Cedric inhaled sharply, and Harry's ears perked up, waiting for his response.
"I'll come through right now if it's open both ways." He replied, his voice gruff. Cho sighed.
"That wasn't the only shock. Be prepared for Black trying to kill you. It's clear that you're not only dating." She warned, a slightly disapproving note in her voice. Harry heard Cedric Sigh.
"With Hadi I'm not surprised. He has a creature inheritance right? And when we consummated our relationship before the final task I jumpstarted it. I'm not going to apologize for loving him, or for what we did Cho." Cedric murmured, his voice thick. Cho growled, and Harry could tell she was pissed.
"He's only a 14 Cedric. You should be apologizing. Get your Arse over here now. The floo is open." She bit out, before stepping back, bringing Harry with her as she did. Cedric came through the flames a second later, looking worried as hell. His eyes searched the room until he saw Harry. Cho was standing in front of him, looking all of the fierce momma bear that she had become since the final task. To be frank seeing her in this capacity, when he remembered her getting to openly grieve for Cedric before was more than a little disconcerting. Especially considering they had faked the whole grief kiss in that damned tea shop.
"You have some explaining to do Diggory. Such as why you had sex with my 14 year old godson." Sirius' voice interrupted the stare down. Cho snorted as Cedric turned to glare at him. She moved in front of the two of them, her black eyes flaring with anger. She might be pissed at Cedric for actually sleeping with him, but she seemed to find the signs that Sirius was to be something more to him worse.
"Cedric has nothing to explain to you Black.. Hadi's a child, yes, so you shouldn't even fucking entertain the thoughts that you are. I saw how you reacted to the news his inheritance was active- besides being pissed with Cedric for actually consummating." She hissed. Harry blushed bright red, and found himself in Cedric's arms in seconds. His mate glaring at his second mate and he couldn't find the words to correct Cho. Sirius blanched at her direct accusation. He opened his mouth then closed it, unable to deny what she said.
"I think I may be his second mate." The older male finally muttered, looking ashamed. Cedric's arms tightened possessively and Cho sighed. She shook her head slowly, looking over the man that had custody over her little brother. Cedric was tense against Harry and he could feel him vibrating in anticipation of something. What he was so nervous about Harry didn't know. He hadn't had this experience before- of one mate meeting another let alone someone worried about the outcome. In the past that Hermione had prevented none of his mates had ever overlapped. He had loved one, then lost them far before the next one acted on their feelings. He doubted any of them actually knew about his creature status to tell the truth.
"This is a damned mess Black. You're his legal guardian." Cho growled. The other man shrugged helplessly, looking a little lost, to lost for Harry's taste. Even during his worst Sirius had never had that look.
"I can't help it Chang. It is what it is. I feel the pull of my submissive calling for me. I didn't understand it fully until I heard the results of his inheritance test. And right now he's putting out the call. A submissive Incubus needs the intake of sexual energies once it's activated. No matter how much you try to feed him or make him comfortable his metabolism will increase beyond his ability to adjust without said intake. From Harry's state I'd say he hasn't been able to intake of the energy he needs since his activation. And that is putting his body into overdrive as he tries to compensate." Sirius finally replied. Cho stared at him uncomprehendingly while Cedric cursed under his breath. Harry shuddered as hot air brushed his neck. His body was begging for more contact and then Griphook had to cough loudly.
"Master Potter is experiencing withdrawals from lack of nutrients to his dominate creature." The Goblin confirmed. Harry blushed bright red as Cedric let his hand trail. Cho cleared her throat.
"We're going to his appointment with the healer's before anything happens. I can't damn well tell the two of you to stay away from him in the light of what is happening, but this is a seriously screwed situation. And Black? You can't kill Cedric no matter how much of an idiot he was." She barked. Griphook smirked at Harry and the teen knew that his Goblin friend knew of his pregnancy and why his godfather would kill Cedric. He could see apprehension hiding within the Goblin's eyes though, of what he didn't know.
"I agree with you Lady Chang. Master Potter is in no condition to deal with his mates disagreeing, and won't be until several years after he obtains all 4 of his mates, given that he was activated early. He will be sensitive to anger around him, more so than a typical submissive of his kind that was allowed to activate at the correct time. And before you blame the boy holding him for that given the circumstances Master Potter lived under, and experiences in this world his early activation was inevitable. His creature side saw his experiences as something he needed protection from and his dominate mates would afford him that protection." Griphook chimed in, looking grave, but Harry could hear a smug undertone in his lecture.
The goblin was enjoying every moment of this, and Harry shouldn't be surprised. Griphook always did like entertainment, and found Harry's life to be the best provider for his amusement. Cedric inhaled, before pressing a kiss to Harry's neck that made squirm and push down the urge to grind into the taller boy. It was the look on Sirius' face that stopped him in the end. Suspicion laced it as he looked over Cedric and him. The older man turned to the Goblin, a hard look on his face- after shooting Cho a glare.
"There's more. I remember when my parent's had this test done, The last part of it embarrassed the hell out of me, since I hadn't ever bottomed in my life." He spoke, his voice low and raspy, just a touch angry. Griphook looked at him hard before nodding slowly. Harry tensed just a little, and Cho shot him a worried look. Their behavior made Cedric tense and Sirius' lips tightened as he motioned for the goblin to continue.
"From the test Master Potter conceived before the final task during the tournament that he was forced to participate in several weeks ago." Griphook intoned. Cedric's moved away right after the announcement, and Harry thought that he would be mad about the fact that he was going to be a father, but they returned, positioned on his hip instead of his middle. Sirius looked like he was going to be sick and that caused a lump to jump into his throat, clogging it. His godfather let out a strangled whimper, looking at him, worry shinning in his eyes. Somehow that worry calmed Harry a little and he took a deep breath.
"How the hell did this happen Diggory?" Sirius demanded, his voice rough. Cedric shifted, and Cho cleared her throat, drawing everyone's attention. She had that same look of worry in her eyes now.
"Hadi was never given the sexual education classes muggleraised and muggleborn children go through, so he didn't know it was a possibility. Cedric was irresponsible, and I suspect he was caught in the moment and didn't think of using protection." She explained, her voice uncommonly meek. Sirius growled.
"That doesn't change the fact that Harry is pregnant, and with his creature inheritance… Hell he should have been having sex everyday with only having one mate- and that's just the minimal to keep his needs fulfilled and if he wasn't pregnant. I'm honestly surprised he's not in a damned coma right now." Sirius spat out, and all the worry suddenly made sense to Harry. To be honest he had figured a lot of his problems had been because of the spell Hermione had preformed, coming back to the past and shock. And he had stayed as close to Cedric as possible since the final task. From what he understood of his inheritance the closeness of his mate had helped, especially when Cedric was aroused. Griphook shifted.
"I would suggest that you get to your appointment with the Healers Master Potter. They can explain the risks of your lack of sexual contact better than I can." He interjected. Harry nodded faintly, his mind spinning. He didn't know what the effects would be on his baby. And oh god Cedric wasn't going to leave his side, that meant he'd be coming back to Sirius' with him, and that the other man would know that they were having sex, maybe even want to join in himself. This was happening way too fast for him. He was lead out of the bank with his mind spinning on what ifs. Cedric knew that they were mated, and that he was going to be a father. Sirius knew of his inheritance, which would erase his reluctance to do anything with Harry. He didn't even notice he'd been glamored until he heard the Healer ask who he was going to be treating.
"I need an oath on your magic not to reveal his identity, anything you may see or hear or condition to anyone in anyway, written, verbal, non verbal, legitimacy, any way shape or form." Sirius growled. The healer didn't hesitate, and to his credit only looked a little apprehensive as to who he would be treating. It wasn't common to go that far to protect someone's identity, and not when they were in need of a healer.
"I, Marcus Alexander Channing, swear on my magic and my life that I will in no way break the confidentiality of my current patient in any way voluntarily or involuntarily. So mote it be." The healer intoned, Harry shuddered slightly at the feel of the bitter magic in the air as the vow took, and then as the glamour on his person was removed. The Healer Channing didn't even blink as his identity was revealed though, and Harry had to wonder where Cho had found him. People usually goggled at his scar.
"Mr. Potter. I had a feeling that your guardian would be taking you to a healer soon enough after everything that has come out. How are you feeling today? You're looking a little pale." The healer tssked, before looking at the group of people within the room, a slight frown on his face. "And do you wish to discuss any of this with the people present in the room. I know of course your guardian must be here, but you are under no obligation to have any other person within this room as you are examined, and the results are discussed." The dark blonde man informed him. He could feel Cho and Cedric glaring at the healer as he shook his head. It took him a second to gather his thoughts into words. There was just so much happening.
"No. I'm alright with them staying. We just got done at the bank, I had an inheritance test preformed." He finally got out, his voice was thin and cracking- a sign of the stress he was under. The healer's concerned look intensified. His hand rested over his wand restlessly as he looked over the group again.
"I see. Is there anything I should be made aware of before this examination begins Mr. Potter?" He asked lightly. Harry had the insane notion that the man was ready to defend him from something.
"I have a creature inheritance, and it's active. I'm mated to Cedric." He whispered. The healer's look sharpened and the man's lips curled back as he looked to the teen. He looked angry- probably at the age difference, but perhaps by the same sex pairing. Harry didn't know. Cho looked like she was ready to step in.
"Alright then Mr. Potter. I have to ask this though, was the mating consensual? You are only 14 years of age." The healer purred, his eyes sparking. Cedric shifted under the blue eyed man's assessing look and Harry straightened up, a look of alarm crossing his face as he realized Cedric was being accused of forcing him. He knew that most of the wizarding world would assume that, but it didn't mean he would have to like it.
"The mating was completely consensual. I've been dating him for the better of six months, and if this is about my age then I will find a different healer to deal with my recovery from the abuse I suffered and my unborn child. I will not have my mate's name smeared for loving me!" He shrieked, his emotions spiking and making his voice shrill. The Healer froze, then stepped further from Cedric. He looked over Harry shocked, and Harry realized he had changed slightly. His hands were clawed now- talon like.
"Mr. Potter I was not threatening your mate, nor the sire of your child. Perhaps you should inform me what creature inheritance you have? So I know what not to do in the future. I have no intention of becoming the victim of a raging magical being because of my own stupidity." Channing soothed, his eyes wide, pupils dilated. He stank of fear and it made Harry's stomach turn unpleasantly. Where had this transformation come from? He never remembered it happening before and he had been pissed plenty. He took a deep breath, and didn't jump as Cedric's arms surrounded him. Instead he cuddled into the embrace.
"Dominantly Incubus, then Veela and then wizard in that order." He finally responded when he calmed, Channing laughed lightly, drawing a curious look from the teen as the other man relaxed.
"I apologize for upsetting you Mr. Potter, but I had to make sure that you were not being forced or pressured into this union. That reaction you just had? That was your veelan inheritance defending your mate. It would not have happened unless this young man was truly your mate, and that reaction eases my own mind. Now, we should begin your examination, prescribe you what you need and get you home. If I am correct this bonding is relatively new and hasn't quite settled down. While I applaud you coming out into the world at this stage I really must insist that until this mating is settled down that you not explore too much in the company of others. Do you have any idea who your other mates are? With you being pregnant they should be feeling the call to come to you and protect you while your in such a delicate state. I understand with your age that having multiple mates may seem daunting, but what has been initiated cannon be undone. I trust you have a support system outside of the bond?" He spoke quickly, making Harry's head spin as he tried to keep track of all the questions that had been asked, and their answers. He could feel himself relaxing into Cedric.
"I know of one more potential bondmate although there are three more in total besides Cedric. And I do have a support system outside of the bond. Cho represents that." He replied calmly, leaning back into his mate's arms. Channing nodded, smiling at the teenage girl. He looked over the group differently this time.
"Very well, now that their presences are explained I feel more comfortable in discussing your information with them present. Now I'm going to be performing a few scans- one to determine your health and needs and one to determine your child's health and needs. Your pregnancy will differ from a normal wizards, I cannot stress this enough. As a primarily dominate Incubus you will need to have sex several times a day to maintain a healthy intake for you and your child." Channing hummed, explaining himself as he finally drew his wand. "I will need your mate to step away from you while I do these scans." He added, his voice apologetic. Cedric nodded, looking at the man suspiciously as he moved away. Harry had to resist the urge to giggle as the first spell hit him. It felt like millions of fingers brushing over his body, searching out every spot. The urge to giggle left him as his healer frowned though, and the tension in the room mounted.
"You are suffering from severe malnutrition, and while some of it comes from the lack of intake of sexual energy most of it stems back your entire childhood. I should have expected something like this given the rumors and Dumbledore's trial, but the extent is worrying. You're suggested sexual activity should be double what I would normally suggest for a pregnant incubus, and we'll have to design a high caloric diet for you on top of that. I'm sorry to say that you probably will never be very tall or large weight wise though. As your pregnancy progresses you might end up on bed rest towards the end. I will also be prescribing a series of potions safe for you to take while pregnant that will slowly mend the badly healed bones throughout your body in an attempt to strengthen them. It should give you extra time on your feet without the risk of rebreaking them as the child adds it's weight to your body." Channing spoke, his voice detatched and medical in tone, but his eyes blazing. He was angry for Harry. At the reminder of the abuse the teen had gone through the other's in the room stiffened. Harry was reminded just how much they cared for him and it was daunting.
"That being said it's a hell of a good thing you came in Potter. Without the adjustments you are running the risk of miscarrying that child, and becoming sterile." Channing added. Harry froze this time, memories from the timeline that had never happened coming to the front of his mind. He had been sure that his Uncle's beatings had caused the miscarriage and his problems conceiving again but now? Vernon's beatings probably hadn't helped, but his baby had starved to death- that's what the healer was telling him. Arms wrapped around him, and he realized he was hyperventilating. Cedric was glaring at Channing, while cooing to him to calm down. Sirius looked like he wanted to kill something and Cho looked as sick as he felt.
"Is my baby okay?" He finally whispered, worried that the child had already been harmed. Channing motioned for Cedric to step away again and the older teen shook his head sharply, baring his teeth.
"Not until he's calm again. He's been through hell damn it." The teen hissed. Harry leaned back into his embrace, thankful for him. Thankful that he was still alive and that he was here for this. Channing sighed.
"Cedric, your mate is worried for you child currently. If you step away I can complete the necessary scar and reassure him of the child's health. I said he was at risk, not that any damage has been done. He needs to know for sure though, and he will not calm until I do so." Channing spoke slowly, like he was speaking to a child. Harry reluctantly pulled away from the welcomed embrace. He wanted to know his baby was okay. He nodded to the healer as Cedric's arms let him go and another spell hit him. This one felt reassuring, and he swore he could hear a little heartbeat. Channing smiled, and Harry felt his own lips curl up.
"There we are. You're not even a month along yet but the little one is progressing better than I could have expected given your state. There's nothing wrong as far as I can tell, and as long as you stick to your regimen your pregnancy should be relatively uneventful- just the way we like them to be. Feeling better now Mr. Potter?" Channing reported. Harry nodded, and then Cedric's arms were around him once more. His mate pressed a kiss to the back of his neck that got him going again and the Healer smirked at the interaction.
"Is that all?" Sirius asked suddenly, looking uncomfortable. Channing smiled, like he thought the man seeing his charge with his mate was making him that way. He nodded, his smile widening a little.
"I'll write all of this down for you Mr. Black, but I should advise that Mr. Potter and his mate indulge their desires as soon as possible. Food alone isn't going to get him back on track. I hope you understand this." He replied. Sirius nodded tightly, shifting a little and as he did Harry realized what was going on. Sirius was aroused, and Doctor's orders said Harry needed sex. The teen smirked to himself, knowing that his baby wa safe and healthy had calmed him a lot. And if something happened with Sirius too? Well he already knew his Godfather was his mate also. He watched as Sirius took the notes Channing produced and winked as his Godfather looked over. The older man groaned and Harry giggled a little, behind him Cedric was snickering.
"Minx." The teen whispered into his ear, and suddenly Harry wished they were home. Oh he knew that there would have to be a talk before anything happened, but he didn't feel like being in public anymore. All he wanted was to be home, with his first two mates and his adoptive sister. The rest of the world could rot for all he cared at the moment. Healer Channing looked over as he finished with Sirius and smiled slightly.
"I think Mr. Potter has had his fill of being surrounded by people, so I will let the lot of you go. If his energy levels do not increase, or if he starts to cramp I suggest you bring him back in." Channing finished the appointment with a grin. Harry nodded to him as he was bustled to the floo by his mate and family. Things had changed so much from how they had happened already. It left Harry slightly fearful of what was going to come next in his life. He already have two of his four mates, would deliver his child if he had anything to say about it, and was apparently sending out some sort of call for his other two mates. He knew Severus was one, and he knew the other man would fight it due to his own guilt. However his fourth mate was entirely a mystery. He had no idea who it could be, and that scared him. It scared him more than he could say.
