Draco and Remus both studied the photo for a moment, 'That looks like something that should only be attempted by professionals.' Draco decided.

'I think the last time I bent like that I pulled something,' Remus offered, Draco started coughing. 'You okay?' he asked gently rubbing the blonde's back.

Draco glared at Harry who was, at least, trying to hold back his giggles.

Harry was suddenly serious as he turned Severus, 'you don't think?' he trailed off not wanting to finish his sentence.

Severus first reaction was to tell Harry he was an idiot but he stamped that down quickly. Instead he cupped the back of Harry's head and gave him a chaste but passionate kiss to his lips.

'No I know you didn't do this. I think someone is trying to break us up.' Severus replied.

'Why would they do that?' Harry asked sounding hurt that someone would want to ruin his life when it was just getting good.

Severus chose his words carefully before replying, 'I think that there are some people who are less then pleased at your choice of life partner.'

Harry's entire being darkened in anger, 'yeah well that's just too fucking bad because who I spend my life with is none of their business and it's not their choice it's mine! And my choice is you.' Harry replied, as the glass in the windows began to rattle.

'Harry,' Severus said gently, trying to calm his almost husband.

'No Severus, it ends now,' he declared before standing and storming from the great hall with Severus, Draco and Remus following him.

Harry used the giant fire place in the front hall to floo to the Prophet offices, Remus, Draco and Severus following in confusion. They found Colin sorting through Rita's mail.

'Who the hell submitted these photos?' Harry demanded shoving the paper under Colin's nose.

Colin had to blink a few times before the photo could come into focus. 'Is that even physically possible?' he asked as he tilted his head.

'COLIN!' Harry roared causing everyone to look up from whatever they were doing to stare at them. Rita, who was talking to someone brightened at seeing Harry and scurried over, that is until Remus, Draco and Severus all growled at her she immediately stopped and turned to talk to someone else.

'Who did this Colin?' Harry demanded again pointing to the photo.

'I don't know Harry, the credit here,' he pointed to the edge of the photo, 'is file photo, so whoever did this doesn't want to be found. I'm guessing it was someone overnight who did it either before the real paper started to print or last when the paper's were getting sent off.'

'You're going to find out who works overnight and see if you can find out who did this,' Harry commanded.

Colin was about to protest when Harry glared at him before turning to everyone who was still watching them. 'Creevey here is in charge of finding out who is printing these false stories about me, understood?' The power that radiated off of Harry had everyone agreeing, including Rita.

The quartet took that moment to leave, namely because Severus wanted Harry to calm down, it couldn't be good for Harry or the baby for him to be this worked up.

Just as they were leaving a brilliant flash cut through the crowd heading straight for Harry's back.

Only it never reached its target because Severus, who had been moving towards Harry, launched himself at the younger wizard and managed to turn them so he would be the one hit.

Severus heard several people yell either his name or a stunner before his whole, painful world went black.
