Chapter 25
It had taken a while to finish the potion. Draco had to spend many long hours in the lab that was there at the manor to finish it. But after a month the potion was finally finish. Now all he had to do was get his godfather to drink it.
Draco knew he would have to wait for the right time to get his godfather to drink the potion. He couldn't just go up to the man and say "Drink this." Severus would want to know what it was before he ends up making Draco drink it. Luckily the potion had a long shelf life.
Draco just couldn't wait to use it for what it did.
The potion at first didn't do anything. One had to take it three times before it started to work.
Once it starts to work the victim would before ill. The symptoms were much like the muggle illness called the flu.
From there it would become painful. Because the victim was still weak from being ill that when the second stage it was painful.
The second stage was the slow process of paralyzing the body. Normally one wouldn't feel anything when they are paralyzed. The reason was that nerves are damage. Normally this happen when there was an injury to the brain or spinal cord. The potion work differently.
The potion attacked the nerves in the body itself. It would start at the bottom of the body, the legs and feet, then work its way up the body.
Because the person could feel the nerves as they died it was a very painful experience. Some said the pain was worse than the Cruciatus Curse. This was why the potion was labeled dark and illegal
This part took time to kill the person. It was slow and kept the person weak. The length it took depends on how strong the victim's magic was. The stronger one's magic was the longer it took. The reason behind this was because one's magic would fight the potion to keep the person alive while at the same time try to fix all the damage that the potion has caused and was causing.
The final stage was death. The brain would be the final part of the body that would be attacked. This part was faster than the rest. Once it reached the brain the person would only have days left to live.
This was the perfect potion to kill his godfather with. Not only would it slowly and painful kill him but, unless a healer knew what to look for, it wouldn't show up in any scans. No one would know it was placed in their drink because it was odorless and tasteless.
Yes it was true that Severus might know what was going on when the second stage hit but by then it would be too late. He would know that he's dying and know how to save himself but his pride wouldn't let himself be saved by anyone else but himself. He wouldn't let anyone else make the cure for him. Not even his husband or Draco. Granted Draco wouldn't do for him but that wasn't he point. The point was that his pride would be the cause his death.
Draco's patience finally paid off when Christmas came that year. He told one of the house elves to put some of the potion into Severus drink for dinner.
He did have to wait until later in the day for the family to come over. The Snapes spent the morning at their place opening gifts before they floo over to the Weasleys place. Sirius and Remus were there as well.
They didn't show up at Malfoy Manor until around dinner time. That was fine with Draco. No one knew what he was doing or why he was so happy to see his godfather. Not even Pansy knew what her husband was up to. If she had she would haven't let him go throw with it or at least let Severus know something was up.
Yes she would want Draco to end up with his love but not this way. If anyone found out what Draco was up to he would end up in Azkaban for the death of Severus and lose Harry forever. But she didn't know so she couldn't do anything to stop him. Just the way Draco wanted it.
Once the last of the gifts were open they went into the dining room and sat down to a very delicious meal.
Draco smiled behind his own glass as he watched his godfather sip his wine. He was so focused on Severus that he almost missed what Harry was saying.
"We've told everyone else so it's only right to let you all know. Me and Severus are going to have another child. I'm pregnant!" Harry said with a huge grin on his face.
This caused Narcissa and Pansy to squeal with joy as they started to talk happily with Harry about the new baby. Lucius had given his congratulation to the couple.
Draco had chocked on his wine at the news. After wiping his mouth he smiled at the happy family. "Yes congratulations are in order. I didn't know you were trying for a baby." Draco said with a forced smile.
"We have been for a while now." Severus said. Severus left out the part about losing their first child. Only Harry, Severus and Draco knew that Harry had miscarried their first child. It was left unsaid.
"Now we can give Sarah a baby brother or baby sister." Harry said as he looked up at Severus with love in his eyes.
Draco kept a smile on his face while on the inside he was beyond pissed. He's plan was taking too long. Harry was falling for his bastard of a husband. Severus didn't deserve Harry's love. Not after all the hell he put that angel throw.
Draco then saw his change to give his godfather his second dose of the potion. It never said how long one had to wait in between each dose. So Draco was going to give them to him as soon as he could.
They had moved to the lounge were the kids played together with some of their Christmas gifts. The adults talked about anything and nothing at all. Most of the talk was about Harry being pregnant and all the help that Narcissa and Pansy would give him. Between them, Molly and Hermione Harry had more than enough help and more than enough babysitters for both kids.
While they were talking Draco had fixed everyone's drinks. He had his back to everyone so no one saw him add the next dose to Severus's glass. Draco then passed out glasses and made sure that Severus got the one with the potion in it.
The third and final dose came in the morning. Because of how late they had shown up at the manor Sarah had fallen asleep in the lounge. She did have a busy day so it was no wonder that she fell asleep so fast.
The Snapes were invited to stay the night so that way they didn't have to wake up the sleeping child. Harry had picked her up while Pansy picked up Scorpius. They took the kids to Scorpius' room. Even in the same bed. The kids were still very young were this was ok to do. Sarah was only 2 and Scorpius was 5.
Because of him being pregnant Harry had even gone to bed early. He was enjoying this pregnancy more than his last one and was learning things he didn't with his last one. Like the fact he slept a lot more than ever had in his life.
The next morning was one of the best in Draco's life. He had made sure to get up before anyone else. This included Severus. He made his way down to the kitchen and gave the rest of the potion to the same house elf. He gave him the same instruction as last night.
So when everyone sat around eating breakfast that morning, Severus was slowly sipping his death that was in his coffee. Draco just sat back and let the potion do it stuff.
By this time next year, if all went according to the plan, Harry would be a widower who was falling for Draco. At least this is what Draco was hoping for.
