Chapter 27
Peace and Love
Hogwarts was searched everywhere in every nook and cranny everyone could find for Death Eaters. They had disappeared completely it seems. While no one was killed, there were a few injuries. Lily, Remus and Harry were all in the Hospital Wing, Harry injured the most out of the three but Madam Pomfrey wanted to keep the other two there merely to observe them overnight to make sure they were well enough to leave in the morning. Harry noticed that Lily got frequent visits from Severus, of course, it was only when James wasn't around, though couldn't help but smile. It seemed like his mother had two people who really loved her.
Draco was by Harry's bedside, feeling numb. He was overwhelmed. They had a baby he hadn't even known about, and lost it so quick..they probably wouldn't of even been able to see what the gender was, Madam Pomfrey had stated that it hadn't been too far along. Harry admitted he had had no idea of his pregnancy until the bitter end of it, and that made it a little better. He had been beginning to think that Harry was keeping it from him, but if he didn't know himself...
As soon as it was clear that Hogwarts was safe at last, Dumbledore had taken extreme measures and placed powerful wards around the ccastle once more. While none of them were broken as they used the Vanishing Cabinet in the room of requirement, he couldn't help but take extra precautions for the students and staff. He refused to let something like this happen again. Everyone was safe, however, and that's what mattered.
While James may have left Lily's side every now and then, Severus quickly took his place, though Harry noticed that Sirius had yet to leave Remus, despite not being in his werewolf form, and Harry smiled. The two had never been together in his time, but it was clear they were perfect for each other, just like Draco was perfect for him.
Harry glanced towards Draco and noticed that the blond was looking rather stiff. He frowned slightly. "Dray? What's wrong?"
Draco jumped, clearly having been thinking until Harry spoke. "Wha-? Oh, nothing, Harry. Nothing at all. No need to worry."
Harry wasn't convinced. He sat up weakly, and Draco was instantly at his side. "You shouldn't be moving, you might upset your-"
Too late. Harry let out a small whimper of pain and Draco mentally cursed, calling Madam Pomfrey. He noticed that Severus was here with Lily, and James was nowhere to be found. Draco had no idea until he had visited Harry in the hospital wing of Severus and Lily's friendship, but decided he liked it. Perhaps it was a good thing for Severus. Lily too, of course.
"You shouldn't be moving so much, Mr. Potter," Madam Pomfrey reprimanded, making Harry drink a pain reliver potion. "You may just re-open your wounds, and I doubt you want to stay here any longer than you need to, do you?"
"No, Madam Pomfrey," Harry said quietly as he drank the bitter tasting potion. At least he didn't need to worry of it possibly being poisoned in this time.
"Good. Mr. Malfoy, I leave it to you to watch over Mr. Potter while I attend to my other patients," Madam Pomfrey said, taking away the empty goblet and walked off.
Draco sat beside Harry on the hospital bed, head resting on his shoulder. "Are you feeling any better, Harry?"
"Yeah," Harry whispered softly. "They may taste vile, but those potions do wonders."
"Agreed," Draco chuckled, and Harry couldn't help but laugh along with him.
That laughter however, quickly died out when he saw who entered the Hospital Wing. Draco stopped laughing too, mouth open in shock.
It was Ron, but he was with someone, holding hands, and both of them looked quite happy. That other person, just so happened to be Blaise Zabini.
"Bloody hell, when did you two get together?" Draco was the first to comment, Harry nudging him gently in the shoulder.
"Oh yes, that's right, we haven't seen each other in a while," Ron said as he looked at Harry who was just as surprised as Draco, but nodded in reply. "Well..."
Blaise told the story. Apparentely the two had been assigned to work on a Divination assignment together, and no matter how much the two hated each other (and maybe the subject a little too), they tolerated each other merely for the project. Harry was surprised that Ron hadn't dumped Divination, but he said it was sort of fun. Harry still had no intentions of taking it again, however. While the two were working on a project, the two's feelings just seemed to change, at leat that was their explanation, and love blossomed. They had been together a little over a week now, and went to see Harry after hearing what had happened at Hogwarts.
"That's wonderful," Harry smiled as he ran his fingers through Draco's blond hair, who's eyes became half-lidded. That was a weakness he knew he would always have.
Ron blushed, and Blaise chuckled, holding onto Ron's hand. "So, how are you feeling Harry? We tried to come immediately after what happened, but our parents didn't think it would be safe."
"I'm feeling better," Harry said truthfully. "It's still surprising that I was pregnant."
"But you weren't feeling sick at all mate?" Ron asked, and Harry thought for a moment.
"No, but I had been feeling nauseas the past two days, I just didn't think it could be something as serious as..." Draco squeezed his hand, making him calm down.
" 'S alright, mate," Ron said quietly. "She's watching over you now."
"She?" both Draco and Harry asked, blinking. Ron's face flushed upon realizing what he said.
"Oh... I've always wanted a daughter," Ron told them. Harry couldn't help but smile. Ron really was a sweetheart.
Draco seemed to be falling into a light sleep, and everyone noticed this. "Well, I think we'll be off, mate," Ron said as he gently pat Harry's shoulder. "We'll be back for another visit soon."
"Alright," Harry said quietly as he took the sleeping blond into his arms. "Have a good night you two."
"You too, Harry."
Harry smiled softly as the two left. "Well... Ron and Blaise.... who would of thought, eh Dray?"
Looking down towards the blond, finding that he was fast asleep, he smiled softly and kissed Draco's forehead gently, before falling asleep himself, happy that there was peace at last...
A/N: No, this is not the end, but its pretty close! One or two more chapters to go, I'm afraid. -tear- But if this makes it to 300 reviews, I'll be so happy I might plan a sequel. 280....wow, frickin wow.
