Chapter 24

After Harry left the great hall, things were in chaos. Dumbledore called for order, but no one heeded him. There was simply too much excitement going on. Students who had felt the young Elementals magic were shivering in a cold only they could feel, Hermione Granger being whisked away to the infirmary by Ron.

Theo stared at the spot Harry and Severus had just occupied and then glanced at Neville, who was staring at the Gryffindor table in what seemed like a trance. Things were seriously messed up for Harry and Severus. The world knew of his Legacy and now, his baby.

"What he in the bloody hell was that? Did you see how his magic…" Seamus' voice faded to nothing as the others looked at him somewhat helplessly.

"I think that was Harry in his Elemental form, if I recall the runes that covered his body symbolize the tribe he is from, and the color being his element…but his Magic…I've never seen such…" Draco too trailed off in awe at what they had all witnessed. Harry's magic had become visible around him like whips, lashing out randomly as his anger fluctuated. A dance of blacks and greens…a truly spectacular and entrancing sight that had taken all of their breaths away.

"Power?" Blaise supplied, and Draco nodded. Not even the Dark Lord had shown such skill. It was enticing, the magic, addictive upon sight.

Luna hummed pleasantly, knowing a chain of events had just been set in place. Harry would now live under the protection of the Earthen Laws, as would his mate. No longer required to serve under the Wizarding Laws that restricted so much, free to do whatever they wanted to keep their baby safe.

"Luna?" Blaise murmured softly, inquiring to her thoughts.

"Its time." She informed him before prancing off, leaving the odd group of snakes and lions in a deep state of confusion.

"Time for what?" Seamus asked bemused, looking at Blaise for the answer.

The boy simply shrugged. "I haven't the slightest clue."

Albus was furious, beyond livid in fact. He wanted to curse the supid witch that lay helpless in the infirmary. She had, in her anger told the world that Harry Potter, Boy-who-lived, was pregnant. And to top it off, Poppy could not revive her, as the magic that had hit her was ancient earthen magic, only revivable by that of the elemental.

How was he going to fix this? He could hardly do anything now that the boy was under Earthen Laws… bloody heathens….

Albus sighed and rubbed his eyes trying to think of the finer points to the laws, needing a loop hole.

The Elemental, didn't have to obey normal Wizarding laws, so could not be tried with dark magic, or cursing a fellow student. His mate could not be tried for forced intercourse…He did not have to appear at any classes, or in any form obey Albus' orders… No… The only way to make Harry comply was to get rid of the baby. That in and of itself may kill him, the despair would take over.

'But I must be cautious…or I could be tried in an Elemental court…' Albus warned himself. Perhaps the granger girl and Weasley boy will help…yes…I can turn the student body against Potter, turn them away from him in fear…

Albus mused.

Maybe things were not helpless after all.

Severus sighed, and held his love tightly in his arms. Harry was still glowing, but his magic was no longer crackling angrily, it was humming about the pair in soft waves, a soothing protection.

"Harry, are you alright?" He asked against the silky locks of hair.

The young elemental hummed and pressed more of his weight into Severus' chest.

"I'm fine Severus." he murmured softly.

Severus didn't believe that for a second, but didn't comment, instead leading his mate into the bedroom to lay down, curling his Harry into his body.

"Mmm…" Harry groaned in pleasure at the warmth that surrounded him like a loving caress.

"Harry?"

"Hmm?" Harry grunted, his eyes closed.

Severus didn't say anything more, instead kissing his mate softly on the forehead.

Harry smiled into the warm, solid chest. "I think it's time we started thinking of names Sev." Harry suggested sleepily, and Sev hummed, his own exhaustion pulling him under into unconsciousness.

**Dream**

"Father?"

Severus hummed, not looking up from his book as his son questioned him.

"I was thinking-"

"Careful son, that can be a dangerous pastime. I remember when your dad tried that as a youth. It always ended in disaster..." Severus interrupted cheekily.

"Yes, and I remember the stories dad tells me of when you were still teaching."

Severus groaned and finally looked up into defiant black eyes, the unruly black hair framing his strong defined jaw, his skin as pale as his own, a very familiar grin gracing his features.

"Fine. What is it you want?" Severus huffed out at the insufferable brat he called a son.

"Severus…Severus!"

Severus' eyes opened slowly to find Harry grinning at him, his expression amused.

"If you don't get you lazy arse up you are going to be late for class."

Casting a quick Tempus, Severus cursed and slid out of the warm bed, spelling his body clean, and slipping into a clean set of robes.

"Insufferable Gryffindor…" he murmured as he left the bedroom, trying to shake the dream he had just experienced.
