Here comes mainly Draco and Harry's first scan for the baby, along with a small twist for the two boys, involving both the younger Weasleys and Voldemort.
Enjoy!
A month later, Hogwarts:
Almost a month after Draco and Harry found out they were having a baby did they finally get used to sleeping in the same room with each other in school. The room they'd been given was one that changed into more of a living room/bedroom/bathroom than a private dorm. It had good colors of green, blue, and some silver, along with one large window that viewed over the Black Lake.
The two boys had gotten along much better since last month, not that they didn't get along before but now they acted more like a newly married couple. Hermione would visit for study sessions every few days, and the three got closer. Ginny and Ron hadn't made much of ruckus, but only because they thought Harry moved out of Gryffindor to get away from them.
"Hey Draco you ready?" they were having their first scan this morning, and Draco was about ready except the fact that he'd gained a little weight but not enough to show. Male pregnancies only lasted six months, but they didn't show until maybe around two months along.
"Coming." Harry knew today would be a good day, while everyone was at Hogsmeade they could enjoy the appointment in peace. Hermione was in the library working on a potions project, and would see them later.
"Let's go it's almost nine." They stepped out of their portrait hole and made their way to the Hospital Wing.
"Harry…what should I do when I start to show? Everyone will know by then…" Harry hadn't been able to say much to anyone, because this pregnancy was still high risk during the first two months and they didn't want to overexcite themselves.
"We'll see after the scan ok?" soon they entered the wing and Poppy was waiting for them with her equipment.
"Good morning boys."
"Morning Madame Pomfrey." They said and Draco sat on the bed. Poppy closed the curtains around the bed and took out her wand.
"Now I'm going to check the fetus to make sure everything's alright, this won't hurt. Please lift your shirt Mr. Malfoy." She waved her wand over Draco's belly and a white light floated over for a few seconds. "Seems to be alright." She moved her wand away and took out a small round object.
"What's that?" Draco was nervous.
"This will help us hear the heartbeat dear, fetuses develop rather fast in wizards." She spread some clear salve on Draco's stomach before placing the object over his stomach. "Ah…" a sound came from the machine, the sound of a tiny heartbeat. "There's your baby." Poppy pointed to the screen and there was a gray and white moving fetus on the screen.
"Beautiful." Draco had tears in his eyes and Harry smiled.
"Madame Pomfrey, can you tell what gender the baby is?" Poppy shook her head.
"Too soon to tell Harry, maybe next month we'll find out." She moved the machine away and came back with a little picture. "Would you like the ultrasound picture?"
"Yes please." Harry took the picture and let Draco take it.
"Same time and day next month?"
"Yes ma'am." She scribbled on her clipboard and opened the curtain.
"Remember to eat healthier Draco; it's good for the baby." Draco groaned.
"Thank you Madame Pomfrey." They left the wing and soon came into contact with the two Weasleys.
"Well lookie here Gin." Ron sneered and Harry stood in front of Draco.
"What're you doing here Ron, I thought you'd be in Hogsmeade?"
"Well thanks to you and your ferret bitch we've been banned from Hogsmeade for the rest of the year."
"Harry this is ridiculous, drop this nonsense and come back with me." Ginny reached out to touch him but Draco slapped her hand.
"Back off Weaslette." Draco said behind Harry.
"Oh the bitch has a backbone. You're a traitor Potter you know that? Living with snakes and abandoning your fellow Gryffindors."
"I haven't done anything Ron, I only do what makes me happy and right now neither you nor Ginny are a good help."
"Keep saying that Harry, but you belong to me. We will be married after school."
"Not a chance in hell Ginny, do you want me to tell your mum you've been bugging me again? Or do you like being embarrassed in front of the whole school?" Harry looked at Ginny closely, he couldn't put his finger on it but something was off with her and Ron.
"You actually think people will accept this Potter? You with Malfoy, son of a death eater?"
"His dad is a spy for Dumbledore Ron."
"So what?" Ginny. "He's a Slytherin Harry, none of them can be trusted."
"I'm done here, come on Draco." Harry pulled Draco away from the two lunatics and back to their room.
"Harry…did you notice anything about those two?" Harry nodded.
"They looked hesitant, well not really but sort of." It was weird, but it was probably nothing. "So…we finished all our homework, we've eaten early breakfast, what should we do now?"
"How about we head to Hogsmeade?"
"You sure? Everyone's gonna be there."
"Sure, I'd like to see what Fred and George have at their shop. We can bring Hermione."
"Good idea, she should be back by now." Speak of the devil there was a knock at the door.
"Harry, Draco it's me." They opened the door and Hermione stepped through.
"Hey, Hermione we were thinking about going to Hogsmeade for a bit you wanna come?" her eyes lit up and she hastily nodded.
"I'll get my coat." She left in a hurry closing the door behind her.
"I knew she'd love to." Harry laughed and helped Draco into his coat and scarf before getting his own. They would likely run into a few haters in Hogsmeade but they needed the air; Hermione came back fully dressed with her bag in hand.
"Ready."
"Ok let's get going." They walked outside straight to the small town, full of students and people in the snow. A few people stared at them but they just wanted to get to WWW without any trouble.
"There it is!" Hermione pointed to the shop's entrance and ran in ahead of them. As soon as they stepped inside the twins greeted them, or Fred did at least since George had taken Hermione into the back.
"Hey there you two, glad to see you!" Fred hugged them both.
"Good to see you too Fred." Harry. "How's the business?"
"Booming as usual little brother, how're things with you two?" Harry held Draco's hand.
"Perfect."
"Glad to hear it, browse around all you like we got plenty of new products!" Harry and Draco walked around the store and checked out several new things, including Explosion Cannons from China, meant to blow up on contact with a target, and release either thick red or black smoke for temporary blindness or coughing.
"I want some." Draco grabbed three cannons and handed them to Harry.
"You're not gonna do what I think you are are you?" Draco smirked evilly at him. "Let me out of the way!" he was about to move but Draco held his wrist.
"Not here!" he laughed and George came over with Hermione.
"Like them?"
"Lots." Draco smiled at George.
"Use them well, they come in real handy if you're in an ambush of sorts. So…." He eyed the two.
"What?" George leaned in and whispered.
"When's the due date?" he smirked and both boys covered his mouth and headed to the very back of the store. "Oi relax, I haven't said anything."
"Hermione you told him?" Harry looked at Hermione who shrugged.
"He would've found out anyway."
"Don't worry I know it's a big secret. I just can't wait til mum finds out she'll dote all over you two." Harry slapped his forehead.
"Oh god." He groaned.
"Hey Potter!" they turned and saw Colin and Dennis Creevey. "Enjoying your bitch?" Colin gave a greedy grin at Draco.
"Can I help you Creevey?" Fred came back to them. "I won't have you causing a scene in our store, so unless you'd like to buy something I suggest you leave." Colin looked pissed, but Dennis looked at the floor almost shameful.
"We weren't doing anything."
"You were thinking of it. Now go." The brothers left and Harry saw Dennis turned to him mouthing 'Sorry' at him.
"They're not the only ones, lots of Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs hate this but half the whole house of Gryffindor is on my side."
"Glad to hear it mate, and don't worry about pay Malfoy Harry doesn't pay here." Draco looked at Harry.
"I gave them my winnings from the Tri-Wizard tournament; they needed it more than me." Both twins patted him on the back and Draco put the cannons in his jacket.
"Well we should get back…" Hermione started.
"Hey Draco, why don't you head out and wait for a bit? I need to grab something first…" Draco nodded and left outside standing near the left far end of the store.
To Draco:
Draco walked around the edge of the store trying to keep himself at bay about his pregnancy. He was so excited about having a child but also scared if the Dark Lord found out. His father was safe in hiding, but he was still worried for them both.
'Oh my little love…' he knew he would have this child no matter what; even if the baby wasn't pureblood it would still be more than half blood, maybe a little. He touched his stomach and rubbed a little, even the baby wasn't fully formed he still felt a bond with his child.
"Lookie here…" a voice whispered behind Draco and someone reached out covering his mouth and pulling him into the alley.
"Mmm!" his left arm was pinned behind his back and yanked upward.
"No need to fuss Draco." The familiar voice of Fenrir Greyback was heard. "I just came to deliver a message, the Dark Lord isn't pleased with your daddy."
'Father…' "MMPH!"
"Hush, your daddy was able to escape little boy…but your mother wasn't so lucky was she? Word has it you're Potter's playtoy now, oh that will really get the Dark Lord on edge won't it?" he stopped and Draco felt a slick tongue trace the outline of his ear. He whimpered as his arm was yanked up again slightly. "He will have Potter Malfoy, and when he does you and your father will pay dearly; wouldn't want poor Severus to suffer now would you?" with that he released Draco and disapparated. Draco collapsed to his knees and breathed in and out.
"Draco!" he saw Harry coming to him and went straight into his arms. "What happened?" Draco looked up at Harry with tearful eyes.
"Voldemort knows…about us." Harry's eyes widened. "He's after you, me, my father, and I think he's after Severus too."
"Dammit."
"Guys?" Hermione came over.
"We need to get back, we have to see Dumbledore."
"Why?"
"Voldemort knows, and he's got new targets."
Sorry I had to cut it here, I've been busy with other things. Please enjoy and if you have any questions feel free to ask, and make sure they're good ones! LOL, oh and what baby shall Draco have, boy, girl, twins? tell me in a review.
