Chapter 22
"What can Dobby do for Master Harry?" The small perky house elf asked exuberantly. Harry didn't know what he wanted, at least not from Dobby. However, he knew he wanted Severus to just SAY something. Anything. The man had been completely silent since they had fount out about Harry being pregnant.
"Can you get Draco for me, please Dobby?"
Dobby bounced in excitement. "Of course! Anything for Master Harry!"
As soon as Dobby was gone, Harry turned to Severus, his arms wrapped around his body protectively. Harry just stared at the man staring at the wall. Severus' face was as blank as his eyes. He hadn't moved an inch the entire time, and Harry was almost positive, had the man not been in public when the news was stated, he would have fainted there at the shop.
The door opened and Draco stepped through cautiously. "Harry?"
He stopped dead when he saw the look on Harry's face. The look of confusion, irritation and fear. The way he wrapped his arms around himself defensively, staring at Severus.
Draco frowned. 'What in the name of Merlin...'
Draco saw the complete look of shock on Severus face and the fear. He had never seen his Godfather look so afraid.
"Harry? What-"Draco began worriedly, but Harry cut him off.
"One moment Dray." He grabbed a small bag, and then turned to Severus again.
"Sev? I'm going to stay with Draco tonight. I-I can't…I can't stay here, not with you so…please. Just…if you don't want it-"
The words seemed to snap Severus out of his daze because his head snapped up sharply, his eyes boring into Harry's. His little Mate thought he didn't want their child? How…Severus couldn't even think.
"If you don't want it…I- just. I'm staying with Draco. Tonight. Tomorrow we'll talk." Harry finished lamely. Wincing at how weak his words sounded. The creature inside him was clawing at his heart. He wanted his Mate-needed his Mate. But he would never give up his baby. Harry swallowed a sob at the pain in his chest and led Draco out of the room.
The two walked in silence for a moment before Draco couldn't keep his curiosity in check any longer.
"Harry what the fuck happened, and don't tell me nothing." Draco snapped, grabbing Harry's arm and pulling them both to a stop in the empty hall.
Harry knew he wouldn't get off with a simple answer and hung his head.
"I'm Pregnant Dray."
Draco froze. Pregnant…how…then it dawned on him why Severus had looked so…afraid. Snape had had a shitty upbringing and never thought he would ever have a family. Now he was presented with the opportunity and had no idea what to do, let alone think.
"You're...pregnant…" Draco began slowly. Letting it digest. "And…and you are just going to leave him alone…just going to leave my Godfather alone to wallow in his own fears…is that right?"
Harry didn't pick up his head. "He doesn't want it-he…he hasn't looked at me…" SMACK!
Harry's head shot up and tears welled in his eyes at the force of Draco's blow.
"That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! Of course he wants his child! He is just scared! Petrified he is gonna fuck it all up! Merlin, Harry! And you just left him there! Get your ass back to that room and talk to him. Now!"
Draco was livid. He couldn't even imagine what Snape was going through.
Harry just stared at Draco in shock. How could he go back? Severus…his heart gave a lurch for the man. He just wanted his Mate's arms around him. Needed the comfort.
"How can I? He won't want me…"
Draco groaned in irritation. "Of course he wants you. I have never seen that man look so enthralled with anyone. Never seen him smile so fucking much. He loves you Harry! You have this amazing ability to read peoples emotions-and what- you all of a sudden forget to use them? Get over yourself! Severus LOVES you. you know that. And he damn sure will love that baby. Now, go before I hex your ass into oblivion."
Harry didn't answer. Draco was right. He hadn't thought. He had been too absorbed in his own fears to think of Severus' fear.
"You're right. Thank you."
Draco smiled and pulled the small burnet into a very unMalfoy-ish hug.
Once he pulled away, Harry gave a small smile and all but ran back to his rooms. He was just turning the corner when he ran into a very firm, very warm chest, and would have fallen on his arse if strong familiar arms hadn't wrapped around him, catching his falling form.
Severus had just stared at the portrait after Harry had left. He couldn't even comprehend…The pain he felt in his heart at his love leaving was fierce. Severus couldn't let Harry go. He needed the small burnet in his life. Needed the child growing within Harry. His own child…the thought made Severus grin, he could see a little girl/boy with deep black messy hair, and Harry's eyes…he didn't want the child to look like himself. He wanted a little Harry…
Realizing this he strode quickly from the room, and all but ran toward the Slytherin Dormitories. As he was rounding the corner he collided with a very small, familiar body. Instinctively Severus reached out and caught his small Mate.
Harry looked up, and into the piercing black eyes of his Mate.
"Severus…" Harry whispered softly, taking in the raging emotions flowing from his Mate. Happiness, sadness, fear, love…
Harry didn't get a chance to say more, as Severus' lips crashed to his in a passion that left Harry feeling breathless and dizzy. He could do nothing but melt into the strong man and kiss back with the same fervor.
Severus held Harry in a tight grip as he devoured his mouth. His arms circled around his small waist, and he pulled the lithe body flush against his own. Ripping his mouth away to attack Harry's throat, said boy groaned and leaned his head to the side to give Severus better access.
Lifting the small body, Harry wrapped his legs around Sev's waist and let him walk the two of them back to their rooms.
Harry's hands were working the buttons on Severus' shirt and was pulling it roughly from his body as soon as they entered the living area.
"Mmmhh! Sev-Sev'rus, ah!" Harry bucked his hips into Severus' hard groin and hissed as said male bit down hard on his neck.
Severus laid Harry on the bed and pulled the shirt over his head, throwing it behind him carelessly. Leaning in to nip the soft golden skin at Harry's chest.
Harry gave a long sultry moan, and bucked his hips up in need.
Severus gave a low groan and rolled his hips into the young body beneath him.
"Sev'rus…please! Ah!" Harry couldn't take it. He needed to feel his Mate inside him. Severus seemed to understand this and quickly made work of their trousers. Harry nearly screamed when he felt Severus' mouth over his leaking erection. Severus sucked the tip into his mouth and moaned at the taste of his Harry, the vibrations making said boy whimper and buck into his Mate's hot cavern.
Severus whispered a preparation spell and slithered back up to kiss Harry passionately. Ravaging him, and then without proper manual preparations, with one thrust Severus was sheathed inside Harry's tight hole.
Harry bit his lips to hold in his cries of pain and pleasure as Severus waited for him to adjust. It only took a moment before Harry was wiggling beneath his Mate.
"Sev…Move!" He demanded, staring into deep onyx eyes.
Severus was more than happy to oblige and was soon pounding Harry into the bed.
Loud moans and grunts could be heard in the living room, but neither cared.
Harry could feel his climax building with rapid speed with in him, and grabbed his forgotten cock, stroking it fiercely, only to have his hand batted away, and replaced by Severus' large scarred hand. He stroked the burnet slowly, a complete contrast to the fast, hard thrusts of their love making. The feeling was wonderful Harry found himself screaming out, as long strands of semen coated their abdomens and Severus' hand.
Severus bit his lip when he felt Harry clamp down around him, and it was just the thing to finally push him over the ledge. Severus sank his teeth into Harry's neck and he came, filling his little Mate with his essence.
Severus collapsed, and Harry turned and snuggled into his side, fingers splayed across Severus' pale chest.
"I-" he began, only to be cut off by his Mate.
"I want it." Severus told the small form curled at his side.
Emerald eyes stared into onyx, and Harry could feel it. Could feel the love radiating off of his Mate. Could feel the truth behind the statement, and he could hear it in Severus' voice. Harry felt a huge bubble of joy burst within him. Things were good. He had his Mate, and now he was going to have a family. Together.
"I love you." he informed the silent man with a grin. "So much."
Harry couldn't stop himself from pressing a loving and sweet kiss to his love's lips.
Severus smiled and hugged the burnet close to his body, soon falling asleep to the sound of his heartbeat, and the thoughts of his child swimming through him.
"Hello Harry." Luna's airy voice greeted him.
"Hi Luna. How are you?" Harry asked his blonde friend with slight amusement as she kneeled in front of Nybbas, who had decided to grace the world with his presence.
"Very good Harry. Very good." she whispered then continued to stare at Nybbas.
Blaise smiled warmly at her and Harry could feel the bouts of affection coming off of him.
'That's cute…' he thought to himself, sharing a look with Severus. and snuggling into his side.
Draco just smirked and glanced around with mock disinterest.
The portrait swung open and Dean, Seamus, and Neville tumbled in.
"Sorry 'arry. The freaking Cat McGonagall wouldn't let us go. Recon she's got a stick shoved up her- Ouch! That Hurt!" Seamus grumbled at Dean who had elbowed him in the side.
"Hello Harry, Professor." He emphasized and the look of dawning came to Seamus and he flushed in embarrassment.
"Oh, right. Sorry." He mumbled causing Harry to laugh, and Severus just smirked a little in amusement.
"Hi Nev. How are things?" Harry asked the shy Gryffindor.
"Alright." He said tiredly.
Harry frowned. All his friends seemed tired. They had bags under their eyes and seemed to slouch into each other.
"What's going on?" Harry asked sharply. Needed to know what was effecting his friends like this.
Neville shrugged, and Dean looked at his feet.
"Seamus?" Harry warned.
"It's nothing 'Arry. Just, Hermione has really cracked down on us with our homework now, and Ron snores like a fucking freight train. We're just worn out mate. s'all."
"Why don't you cast a silencing charm?" Blaise asked them curiously.
"Because when Vo-Voldemort was alive, Hermione placed wards around everything. We can't." Dean informed the Slytherins.
Severus frowned.
"She is not allowed to do that." He mused aloud.
Draco nodded. "Not to mention spells that ward any magic aren't just laying around. She must have gotten it from the restricted section."
Harry wrung his hands.
"It's my fault. We often snuck in there under my cloak…" He confessed.
Severus rolled his eyes. "Yes, you were always doing things against the rules. They seem to not apply to you."
Harry gave him a rueful smile at the man's double meaning. It had been a week since they had found about him being pregnant, and they were finally telling their friends.
"Hey Harry, where is Brendan? He is usually always with you." Dean asked.
"He misbehaved in class and landed himself in detention." Harry said with disapproval.
"blimey Harry you sound like my mum. That tone. She always uses it on me when I do something wrong." Seamus stated causing Draco to chuckle.
"If only you knew Finnagin..if only…" he sighed.
Harry glared.
"Knew what?" the Gryffindor asked curiously.
"That's kind of why I asked you all to-"
The portrait swung open, interrupting him revealing a very irritated Brendan Warrick.
"I'm sorry Harry. The idiotic woman…gah!" he complained as he flung himself at Harry, who in turn chuckled and snuggled the small first year to him.
"What were you going to tell us?" Blaise asked once everyone was settled.
"well…its kind of hard to explain. Um…Sev?"
The onyx eyed man raised a brow. "They are your friends. Not mine."
"Fine. Um. Well I guess I'll just say it. I'm ah…pregnant."
There was a moment of silence then,
"What! How is that even possible?" Blaise asked in shock.
"Well, when I got my inheritance, my creature changed me to adapt to my Mate, and since Sev is male, and er-"
"Dominate?" Draco supplied helpfully.
"Yes, um, dominate, my body changed so I could have children because neither of us is female so…well at least that's the theory. All we know is that I'm pregnant, not necessarily how it is possible."
"Blimey…" Seamus muttered.
Neville looked shocked, but then he smiled. "I'm happy for you Harry. Now you can have the family you always wanted."
Harry smiled in relief, and grabbed Severus' hand intertwining their fingers.
Blaise looked skeptical but shrugged. "I think it's really amazing."
Draco nodded. "You already know my thoughts Harry. I'm happy for you both."
Luna just stared at Nybbas. "your child will be very powerful." She predicted.
"You're gonna be a father?" Brendan asked.
"Yeah." Harry answered him.
Brendan sat thoughtful a moment. "good." he finally said.
Harry smiled at all of his friends in wonder. They accepted him, and the child within him. He could feel it, and that made him so happy he nearly cried.
Severus squeezed his hand and Harry gave him a watery smile.
Things were perfect.
