"Harry, will you stop trying to duck out! You have to face them eventually and considering school term starts in two weeks sooner is better then later." Draco grabbed Harry's arm for the fifth time as he attempted to make a run for it. The two stood outside Grimmauld Place waiting for someone to open the door. It would be the first time Harry had seen anyone from headquarters except for Blaise, Hermione, Draco, and Snape in a little over two months. He knew as soon as they saw him they would initially be happy and probably hug him and say they were glad he was okay. After that, then what? I explain myself and they start yelling and lecturing. I REALLY don't want to do this. Ugggg, but there's no way I can leave Draco to explain the baby by himself and besides, he wouldn't let me go if I paid him. Hell, he wouldn't let me go even if I promised to give him the best lay he's ever had. Damnit! Ceasing his attempt to pull his arm free from Draco's grip Harry allowed his arm to go slack and his shoulders to droop.

"Fine. I give up! I know you're right anyway."

Harry looked around at the faces all staring at him. Everyone currently at Grimmauld Place had been gathered into the kitchen and were all now sitting or standing in clear view of Harry and Draco giving them expecting looks. Harry coughed in the already silent room.

"I guess I have rather a lot of explaining to do."

"You most certainly do!" Mrs.Weasley had taken on the tone and posture of a very angry mother. The look was both rather humorous and greatly intimidating.

"Let him finish Molly." At Mrs.Weasley's side was her husband who also was looking at Harry with a very parental gaze.

"Ummm, thanks Mr.Weasley. Okay, here goes. Please, just let me say it without interruptions. I know you're all probably quite angry with me and I don't blame you. I just want everyone to know that I didn't leave to worry anybody or to hurt anybody. You see, at the beginning of summer vacation I found out something that I didn't know how to handle and obviously I did so very badly. I'm not really sure how it happened, I mean I know it's possible but I don't know how it happened to me. I guess I'll have to talk to Professor Dumbledore and ask him. I'm...Well I'm...I'm...I'm pregnant." Harry tried to ignore the gasps but found it impossible. He closed his eyes and swallowed only to open them as he found an arm encircling his waist. He looked at Draco as his love looked back at him reassuringly. So, Harry took a deep breath and continued. "The main reason I left was because I thought it would be helping, helping, Draco especially. I thought that Voldemort would use the baby to get to Draco or that Draco wouldn't except the child and would hate me. I rather thought that all of you would hate me as well. So, before I left I nicked a wand from upstairs, I guess it was your mum's or dad's Sirius, because Kreacher glared at me when he saw me take it. I used the wand to put as many spells as I knew on myself so none of you would be able to track me and so I could continue refreshing the concealment charm when and if I would need it. Then I left and went to a bar a little ways from here. I've been working and sleeping there ever sense. I'm sorry. I have no way to say how sorry I am. I know that I was wrong and shouldn't have left. I'm sorry."

A silence filled the room that nobody seemed willing, or wanting, to break. People looked at each other, the floor, the ceiling, Draco, anywhere but directly at Harry. For his part, Harry thought he would have liked nothing more to sink into a hole and never come out again. As a soft cough reverberated through the silence Harry found himself releasing a breath he didn't know he had been holding.

"Well, needless to say I think, this was definitely far from expected. Although I'm glad you're alright I have to say I'm disappointed in you Harry. I would have thought you would use more sense then that." Harry found tears prickling at the corners of his eyes at Remus' words. He knew he had to be stronger then this. Worse was surely to come. Damn hormones!

"Really Harry, that was extremely foolish of you. Especially in your state! You were endangering your health and that of your unborn child. You should have told Dumbledore as soon as you knew you were pregnant. I would have thought you would face your mistakes, not run away from them." Without knowing it, Mrs.Weasley had made a very grave error; one that made Harry's eyes glint with unconcealed fury.

"My baby is NOT a mistake." Realizing Harry's anger from the sudden stiffness of his body first Draco quickly began rubbing light circles over Harry's concealed bulge in order to calm the pregnant Gryffindor and stop an oncoming yelling fit.

"Shush dear heart, she didn't mean it like that. Don't get upset. Mrs.Weasley only meant that she would have thought you would have admitted to an ….uh….. unforeseen circumstance instead of trying to hide it. I'm quite sure she didn't mean anything by it." Relaxing slightly in his lover's arms Harry's eyes remained glued on the now slightly shocked look of his best friend's mother.

"Oh dear heavens no! I didn't mean that your child is a mistake at all Harry! Dear me, I would never say something like that. Just like Mr. Malfoy said Harry, I just wouldn't have thought you'd runaway." After Mrs. Weasley was done no one else spoke for sometime; leaving Harry to look at the faces of the kitchens occupants. Ron's mouth was slightly agape as he stared from Harry to Draco with a look of disbelief on his freckled features. Hermione stood next to him looking like her emotions were struggling between joyful at the thought of a new baby and disapproving at the age it was conceived. Sirius looked murderous while both Kingsley and Moody looked completely impassive. Harry turned his gaze back to Sirius for he was the one he really wanted to speak. He was the one that Harry was most worried about what he thought. Noticing Harry's probing look Sirius sighed.

"I don't know what you want me to say Harry. I don't know what to say. I just don't know." Sirius sighed yet again and pushed his chair from the table. With all eyes in the room following him the ex-convict briskly stood and walked out of the kitchen. With an almost pitying look at the now fighting not to sob Harry, Remus stood and followed Sirius out of the door. Seeming to sense the dam of tears welling behind his lover's brimming eyes Draco straightened and put his other arm around the young seeker's shoulders.

"I think that's enough for today. Harry needs rest and I think that this was a very tiring ordeal for everyone. Good night all." As he spoke the Slytherin gently pushed past stunned Order members and steered Harry out the door. Only once Draco had gotten Harry all the way up the stairs to the room he still shared with Ron did he relinquish his grip on his lover. Sitting on the bed next to Harry he opened his arms only to have them full of Harry a second later as the Gryffindor flung himself into the embrace letting the dam holding back his tears finally break."

"Sssshhh. Ssshhh now Harry. It's alright. It's alright now. I know that was hard. I know that hurt you to hear Professor Lupin and Black. But it's all over. You don't have to do that again. Just calm down." As Harry's sobs didn't abate any Draco shifted his body so Harry's tear stained eyes were looking at his and brought his lips to Harry's.

"Now, now. I understand you're upset but you really need to calm down Harry. It's not good for the baby when you get so worked up. Just take deep breaths. It's okay now." When Harry's sobs eventually faded into sniffles Draco carefully laid Harry down and put the covers over him. "Go to sleep love. You could use the rest."

"S-Sirius was so angry."

"Yes well you can hardly blame him. I'm sure he'll have quite a few things to say to me as well. It's only to be expected Harry. Black and Lupin for that matter love you, they only want what's best for you and getting pregnant is definitely not under that list for you right now. They're just ornery because they can't really help you with this and they don't like that feeling. They'll come 'round."

"Are you sure? I don't like it when they're mad at me. It makes me feel as if I've failed them, and it's like, it's like I've failed my parents."

"Of course I'm sure. You haven't failed anyone. They'll come 'round. They just need to get over the shock. Now I want you to sleep alright m'dear? I'll come back in a bit to check on you. I think I have to go face my music now."

"Oh dear, how could I forget? I'll come with you. I don't want them to blame you for this." Harry began to rise only to find Draco's arm against his chest.

"Oh no you don't. I'll be fine. Besides I'll have Professor Snape to protect me now won't I?" Harry laughed, which felt wonderful after so many tears, and allowed himself to be pushed back down. He was asleep before his head hit the pillow.
