A Forgotten Moment

Chapter 2- The Joys of Pregnancy

After settling into Severus' chambers in the dungeons. While Severus went to make sure that Harry's room was ready, Harry curled up on the couch and started drifting off. When Severus came back into the room he noticed that Harry was asleep. Sev picked Harry up and carried him to his room. He carefully laid him on the bed and took his outer robe and shoes off. Then he pulled a blanket over him, cut the lights off and left the room partially closing the door behind him.

Harry slept well during the night, but when 6 am rolled around he was up puking up everything he had ate the day before. This must have woke Severus up because the next thing that Harry knew was that Sev was comforting him while he was being sick. When Harry was finished, Sev washed off his face with a cool wet cloth and gave him some water to rinse his mouth out with. When Harry was finished Sev picked him up and carried him back to the bed.

"You know Sev, I'm pregnant not an invalid. I won't break just by walking." Harry said indignantly.

"I know Harry, but I want to spoil you all I can since you have given me the most precious gift of all." Sev replied. At this Harry soften a little and smiled at him.

"Sev, will you lay with me for a little bit? I just want to feel your arms around me while I rest." Harry asked quietly. Sev nodded and settled in right behind Harry. After a few moments Harry asked, "Sev, why me? You could have anyone you wanted why me?"

Severus took a moment to think carefully about his answer and replied, "because you're you. You go out of your way to help others whether you like them or not. You're kind, funny, and smart. You take the time to listen to your friends and help the younger students with anything that they need help with. I know you hear how much you are like your father, but now I think you are just like your mother more than your father. Especially your temper." He finished with a laugh. Then he turned serious and asked, "Why me Harry, and why not the any of the ones you named earlier? I'm just a grumpy, old man."

"Why not Ron, Neville, Malfoy, Crabbe or Goyle? Well that is easy. Ron and Neville are like brothers to me and that would be just gross. Malfoy doesn't have enough good qualities about him at all. Do I really have to explain Crabbe and Goyle? I mean really do they have even one useful brain cell between them? As for you well I've had a crush on you since you stepped between us and Remus as a werewolf and then you showed your bravery by spying for the light. That showed that you were brave. We all know your smart because you are after all a potions master. Your funny in a sarcastic kind of way. Plus I feel like I'm completely whole when I am with you." Harry answered back while blushing.

Over the next few days the mornings had become a familiar routine. Every morning at 6 Harry would make a mad dash to the bathroom, and Severus would be right behind him. After the early morning trip to the bathroom they would call Dobby and order a light breakfast. After breakfast they would go their separate way to class. Harry had Transfiguration and Charms before lunch.

Transfiguration was terrible. They had to transform a rock into a rocking chair and a string into an animal. The first 3 rocks exploded and the 2 strings caught on fire.

Charms was just as bad. They were doing a speed charm and instead of the rabbit slowing it's speed down it went faster than lighting. It was bouncing off the walls going about 120 miles per hour. This sent four students to the hospital.

By the time the Charms was over Harry was miserable. He made his way down to his and Severus' chambers. He dropped his bookbag by the door and went into his room and broke down in tears. When Severus got to the rooms, he noticed that something was off. He went straight to Harry's room, and saw that Harry was very upset.

"Harry, what's wrong?" Severus asked.

"Why are you even bothering with a stupid boy like me?" Harry sobbed.

"Harry, you aren't stupid. Why do you think that? Talk to me. I want to help you." Severus said.

"I couldn't do anything right in Transfigurations or Charms class this morning. I blew up three rocks, and set two pieces of string on fire, and then in charms class I sent 4 people to the hospital because of the rabbit I charmed to slow down sped up and caused massive mayhem." Harry said quietly.

"Harry that is to be expected. You are going to have rough times ahead because your hormones are changing. Your mother went through the same thing when she was pregnant with you. It will ease off and level out in a month or two until then you will have to do theory only and catch up on the abilities which you won't have a problem doing. Potions might be a problem for the next 2 months also depending on your morning sickness. What do you have after lunch?" Sev asked.

"I have DADA, COMC, and then Potions." Harry said.

"OK this is what I want you to do. Since your magic is out of whack, you need to go see Madam Pomphey and Professor Dumbledore. Ask them how long it will be like this and what you should do about it. They will probably excuse you from Charms, Transfigurations, and DADA until your magic is stable again." Severus said.

"What about Potions? Some of the ingredients are dangerous right and what about the fumes?" Harry asked.

"Potions you might have to do just theory and make up the praticals after you give birth. Since this is your 6th year you can make it up over the summer, but you can also do the unharmful ones when you are finished with your morning sickness." Severus replied.

Thank you everyone that reviewed. I will do personal thanks in the next chapter. I'm going to try and update once a month maybe earlier. Also Check out my site Multi-Fiction you can get the link from my profile.
