Chapter Two
The following day right at noon George showed up at the Granger's door. Since Harry and Hermione were home by themselves, Hermione was the one to answer the door. She was shocked to see George standing on her doorstep and almost forgot to invite him in. When Harry saw George he began to get nervous, which Hermione noticed, and had to run from the room to throw up once more.
"Oh no, not again." Hermione sighed as she ran up the stairs after Harry. George followed right behind her.
"Has he been throwing up a lot today?" George asked once he caught up with Hermione.
"He woke up this morning and went running into the bathroom to throw up then half way through breakfast he did the same thing. This is the third time today but he claims that nothing's wrong with him. I'm really starting to worry about him."
"He told me yesterday he'd been feeling kinda ill for the past week so I offered to take him to see Madam Pomfrey today. Everything will be alright Hermione." George told her before turning toward the bathroom door. "Harry. I'm coming in." George opened the door to find Harry passed out on the floor beside the toilet. George quickly picked him up and carried him out into the living room. "Is your fire connected to the floo network?"
"It's only connected to Hogwarts. I'll go get some floo powder for you." Hermione ran to her bedroom and returned with a small jar of floo powder. "Here you go George."
"Thanks." George took the jar from her before stepping into the flames. He quickly dumped the jar into the flames as he yelled. 'Hogwarts Hospital Wing.' George stumbled out of the fireplace in Madam Pomfrey's office. She was sitting at her desk when they arrived and nearly fell over when she saw who was in George's arms.
"Mr. Weasley, what happened to Mr. Potter?" Pomfrey asked as she led George into the main part of the wing.
"He passed out in the bathroom at Hermione Granger's house. He's under a lot of stress right now." George answered as he laid Harry down on the bed. "Harry told me yesterday he'd been feeling ill for the past week so I offered to bring him to see you. He thinks he might be pregnant."
"Well then I guess a pregnancy test is in order. I'll also do some general scans to make sure that there isn't anything else possibly making him sick." Pomfrey began doing all her scans. Five minutes later she finally set her wand down with a grim look.
"What's wrong with him?"
"Well he is pregnant but he's also very malnourished and quite under weight. He needs to eat more then he has been. I think it would be best if he stayed with your parents for the rest of the summer. Your mum can care for him better then Miss Granger's family could."
"How far along am I?" Harry whispered. He'd woken up while Pomfrey had been doing her scans so he'd heard everything.
"You're about three and half months along dear. I take it you heard everything else I said as well?" Harry nodded. "I'm going to go grab some potions for you. I'll be right back." Pomfrey got up and went to the storeroom. She returned with three large potions bottles. "Now listen closely Harry. The pink one is a nutrition potion I want you to take with each meal. The blue one is a potion to help you gain some weight and it's to be taken every morning. Now this green one should help with the morning sickness and probably should be taken with the blue one. Now you're only to take a spoonful of each potion at it's specified time. Think you can handle that?"
"Yes but could you write it down for me just incase?"
"Of course." Pomfrey quickly wrote the directions down and handed them to Harry. "Now Harry you'll need to tell the other father about the baby soon since the pregnancy will depend on him being around." Harry began to sob when Poppy told him this.
"What will happen if the other father isn't around?" George asked as he pulled Harry towards him.
"Well the pregnancy will be a lot harder on Harry and on the baby. Why do you ask?"
"Harry's not sure who the father is since he hasn't had a long term relationship since his fourth year. Can I take him home now? He really needs to get some rest before we tackle that issue." George picked Harry up when the medi-witch nodded. He went back into the office and flooed to the Borrow.
"George? What are you doing here?" Ginny cried when her brother stepped out of the fireplace. "What's wrong with Harry?"
"Harry's gonna be staying here for the rest of the summer on Madam Pomfrey's orders. I'm gonna take him up to my old room so he can get some rest." George went up to his and Fred's old room and laid Harry down on his bed. "Harry, I'm gonna go back to Hermione's to get your stuff. Do you want me to tell her what's going on?"
"You can tell her the truth but don't tell the rest of the family. I'm not ready for them to know yet." Harry answered.
"I'll be back as soon as I can. Just rest while I'm gone. I'll make sure that you're left alone." George gently kissed Harry's forehead before leaving the room.
"What's going on George? What's wrong with Harry?" Ginny demanded when George came back downstairs.
"Harry is sick and needs to stay here to get better. I've warded the door so that no one can bother him since he really needs to rest right now. Now I've got to go get all his stuff from Hermione's house. I'll be back soon." George then apparated back to Hermione's house.
"Where's Harry?" Hermione asked when George apparated in front of her.
"He's at the Borrow. Harry's three and a half months pregnant but he's also underweight and malnourished. Madam Pomfrey wants him to stay at the Borrow for the rest of the summer so he can gain the weight he needs. Also since he doesn't know who the baby's other father is he'll need more care then your family can give him. I just came here to get his stuff and tell you what's going on."
"I'll go pack right now." Hermione ran to her room and quickly packed both her's and Harry's trunks. She then wrote a note to her parents telling them she and Harry had left for the Borrow a few weeks early. "Alright I'm ready to go."
"Good." George smiled at her before shrinking both trunks and putting them in his pocket. "Hold on to my arm so we can apparate to the Borrow." They both left Hermione's house with a faint pop and landed in the middle of the Borrow living room.
"George Arthur Weasley! Why is the door to your room warded shut?" Molly yelled when her son and Hermione appeared before her.
"I promised Harry I'd make sure no one could bother him while I went to retrieve his stuff from Hermione's house. I'll explain what's going on after I talk to Harry." George answered then dragged Hermione up the stairs.
"Is that you Georgie?" Harry asked when he heard the door open.
"Yes Harry it's me and I've got Hermione with me as well."
"How you feeling Harry?" Hermione asked as she sat down on the edge of Harry's bed.
"I'm scared 'Mione. Really scared." Harry replied as he began to cry again. George quickly pulled him into his lap and gently began to rock him.
"Shh…it's okay Harry. Everything will be okay." George whispered over and over again until Harry calmed down again.
"Thanks Georgie." Harry said with a yawn.
"I told you I'd be here for you no mater what. Now get some more rest Harry." George laid Harry back in bed and tucked him in. "I'll be downstairs if you need me."
"Alright." Harry yawned again before falling back to sleep.
"You'll be staying in Percy's old room Hermione so tell me which trunk is yours and I'll go put it down there for you." George whispered and Hermione pointed to her own trunk. "I've got to go explain what's going on to my mum. Stay with Harry until I get back." Hermione nodded so George left. He first dropped Hermione's trunk off in Percy's old room then went down to the kitchen where he knew his mum would be.
"George what in the world is going on? Why is the door to your room warded? What are you doing here? What is Hermione doing here and what's all this about Harry?" Molly demanded when George walked in.
"Sit down mum and I'll explain as much as I can." George waited for her to sit down before explaining. "Harry and Hermione came by the shop yesterday and while they were there Harry told me he'd been feeling sick for the past week. I offered to take him to see Madam Pomfrey today to figure out what was wrong. When I arrived at Hermione's house today to pick him up he went running from the room to throw up. When I reached the bathroom to check on him I found him passed out on the floor. I flooed straight to the hospital wing at Hogwarts. Madam Pomfrey did some scans on Harry and figured out what was wrong." George stopped to catch his breath.
"What's wrong with Harry?" Molly asked with concern.
"He's very malnourished and underweight so Madam Pomfrey suggested that he stay here for the rest of the summer. Madam Pomfrey felt that you could care for Harry better then Hermione's parents could. So Hermione and Harry will be spending the rest of the summer here and I'll probably be here for a while as well. I promised Harry I'd be with him through this."
"Oh the poor boy. Where is Harry right now?"
"He's sleeping up in my room with Hermione watching over him. He really needs his rest cause he's under a lot of stress right now. I'll make sure I get him up for dinner but try not to make anything too heavy cause he had been throwing up for most of this morning and probably won't be able to keep much down. Is there anything else you need to know or can I return to getting Harry settled?"
Before Molly could answer they heard Hermione scream down the stairs. "George get up here quick. Something's wrong with Harry." George and Molly went running up the stairs to where Harry was. He seemed to be in the middle of some nightmare so George pulled him into his arms and began talking to him while he rocked him. Harry calmed down almost as soon as George picked him up then began to wake.
"Georgie?" Harry whispered confused.
"I'm right here Harry. You're safe." Harry began to cry softly as George held him. "Just let it out Harry."
"What's going on down here?" Ron demanded as he came down the stairs.
"Harry's sick and is staying here for the rest of the summer to get better. He just had a nightmare so he's a little on edge right now. Now quiet down before you upset him any more then he already is." Hermione scolded.
"Mum I think you should start making dinner. Harry should probably eat in the next hour or so." George stated and Molly nodded in agreement then left. "Ron sit down and try to stay quiet. Harry will probably tell you what's going on once he's had a chance to calm down a bit."
"Georgie?" Harry sobbed.
"I'm still here Harry and so are Hermione and Ron. They're both very worried about you. Hermione already knows the truth but Ron doesn't know anything yet. Are you ready to tell him?"
Harry sniffed loudly before sitting up in George's lap. "I'll tell him. Ron, I'm pregnant, malnourished, and underweight. I've got to stay here for the rest of the summer so your mum can take care of me. I'm not stable enough to stay in the muggle world right now."
"Oh Harry." Ron sighed. "Do you know who the other father might be?" Both Ron and Hermione knew that Harry wasn't seeing any one guy so there could be quite a few possibilities.
"Not yet. George and 'Mione are gonna help me figure out who it might be. I haven't been rational enough to even start thinking about it." Harry replied.
"Well I'll help as much as I can mate."
"Thanks." The three friends and George fell into a light conversation until dinner was ready a half hour later.
"Boys, Ginny, Hermione! Dinner time." Molly called up the stairs to her three children and her two guests.
"I guess I should get out of bed now. Georgie, do you know where my potions are?" Harry asked as he slid from George's lap.
"I've got them in my pocket along with your instructions." George pulled the three potions out of his pocket and handed the pink one to Harry. "I'll leave the other two on the dresser with the instructions. Now lets head down to dinner. I warned mom not to try and feed you anything too heavy yet since you've been having trouble keeping food down."
"Thanks Georgie." Harry smiled at George before walking out of the room with Ron and Hermione. George followed behind them.
"Sit right here Harry dear." Molly began to fuss over Harry when he walked through the kitchen door.
"You don't have to fuss over him so much mum. He's not going to break if you let him serve himself." Ron tried to reason with his mother.
"Harry take your potion before you start eating." George stated as he walked in. "The food looks great mum."
"Yes it does Mrs. Weasley." Hermione agreed.
"Mrs. Weasley could I have a spoon to take my potion with? Pomfrey wants me to take a spoonful of this nutrition potion with every meal." Harry asked.
"Of course dear." Molly summoned a spoon over to the table for Harry then went back over to the stairs to yell for Ginny once more. "Ginevra Molly Weasley. It's time for dinner."
"Coming mum." Ginny called back then came running down the stairs. "Hermione? When did you get here?"
"About an hour ago." Hermione answered as she filled her plate.
"Are you staying for the rest of the summer as well?" Hermione nodded.
"Ginny sit down so we can eat." Molly ordered and Ginny complied.
After dinner Harry, Ron, Hermione and George all returned to Harry's room. George warded the door so that Ginny and their mum wouldn't be able to get in or hear what they were talking about.
"So how far along are you Harry? That can help us narrow down the possibilities." Ron asked while Hermione pulled out a quill and some parchment.
"Three and a half months." Harry answered.
"That puts the conception around the end of March or very beginning of April." Hermione stated as she did the fast math in her head. "How many guys were you with between March 21st and April 5th?"
Harry thought for a minute before answering. "Eight…no wait nine."
"Alright lets start with their names then we can look over the list and knock out all the ones it really couldn't be." Hermione poised the quill above the parchment and waited for Harry to start listing names.
"Terry Boot, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Seamus, Lee, Dean, Blaise and Draco." At that name both Ron and Hermione gasped since Ginny was currently dating Draco. "I know that he's Ginny's boyfriend but it was during one of their many mini- break ups."
"Harry that's only seven guys. Who are the last two?" Hermione asked looking directly at her friend.
"You've got to promise not to freak out when I tell you sine the last two are quite a bit older then I am."
"We promise. Don't we Ron." Hermione elbowed her boyfriend in the chest since he was still in shock over the Draco thing.
"Yeah mate we promise." Ron agreed quickly while rubbing his chest.
"Snape and Malfoy." Harry said quietly then hung his head in shame.
"You already told us you slept with Malfoy." Ron stated before he realized that Harry meant Malfoy Sr. "You slept with Draco's dad?"
"Yes Ron I did. Multiple times actually." Harry stated with a faint blush on his face.
"Alright Harry. Now we should go over the list and weed out everyone it couldn't be." Hermione said as she laid the list out before Harry.
"Well Lee can come off the list immediately since we just gave each other blow jobs. I guess Seamus, Dean and Justin can all be removed as well since they only every bottomed." Hermione crossed them off. "And Terry can be crossed off as well since he always used condoms."
"Alright that leaves us with Blaise, Draco, Snape, and Mr. Malfoy. Can any of them be crossed off the list as well?"
"No cause I bottomed to all of them and none of them being purebloods used any type of muggle protection."
Hermione looked over the list and nodded. "This won't be too bad. Since most of them are at Hogwarts you'll be able to have contact with them all. Mr. Malfoy may be the only problem but I'm sure we can figure something out. From what I remember reading about male pregnancies you only have to have some kind of physical contact with the other father on a regular basis. It really can be something as simple as shaking hands or brushing against them in a crowded hallway. It's just got to be physical contact."
"Is there any way to find out which one is the father before the baby's born?" Harry asked with hope in his eyes.
"There is a spell that can project an image of the child and age the image to a point. It wouldn't tell you much unless the baby has platinum blonde hair. Anyways the spell can't be used until at least the sixth month." Hermione explained.
"Harry who do you hope is the father?" Ron asked quietly.
"I really don't know who I'd want to be the other father but I do hope it's not Draco for Ginny's sake. I'm not sure if she'd ever forgive him or me if Draco turns out to be the father."
"Are you going to tell the four of them that they might be a father before the baby is born or are you going to wait until the baby is born to tell them?" George asked.
"Well Snape will have to be told I'm pregnant since he's one of the teachers. We'll need to keep this information from Voldemort so Lucius will probably need to be told so he can make sure Voldemort doesn't find out and if he does that we know right away. I know I'll have to tell Draco when he comes by next since he'll be the most effected by this if the baby is his. I think that Blaise will be the hardest to tell but I'm gonna tell him as well. Do you think your mum would mind if I invited Blaise to come here to visit so I can tell him?"
"Mum probably won't mind but you should probably put off asking her until you're a little healthier. She probably wouldn't object to much though if you had Draco ask if Blaise could come with him the next time he visits." Ron replied.
"'Mione. Give me your quill and some parchment and I'll send a note to Draco about this." Hermione handed the requested items over and Harry quickly scribbled a note. "Have Pig take it to Draco. I know how much Draco loves receiving letters from that owl."
Ron laughed. "Alright but you can deal with Draco when he comes." Ron then left to give the note to Pig.
After Ron left Harry was tired again so George and Hermione ordered him to get some sleep. The two of them left Harry to sleep and went down to Hermione's current room. She and George spent a couple hours talking and getting Hermione settled in before George left and returned to his and Fred's flat.
"Where have you been all day George? You left to visit Harry almost ten hours ago. What happened that you were gone so long?" Fred questioned his twin when he arrived.
"I had to take Harry to see Madam Pomfrey this afternoon then she ordered Harry to stay at the Borrow for the rest of the summer. I took him to the Borrow then returned to Hermione's to get her and all of Harry's stuff. The two of us then returned to the Borrow. After dinner Hermione, Ron and I spent sometime with Harry then he went to sleep so I helped Hermione get settled into Percy's old room. I only just left but I'm going right back. I just came back to tell you I was staying at the Borrow for a few weeks and to get some stuff." George answered while packing. "Well I'll see you around Fred." George apparated back to his room at the Borrow.
"Georgie, is that you?" Harry asked sleepily.
"Yeah Harry it's me. Go back to sleep. I'll be here if you need anything." George replied at a whisper before going over to the other bed to get some sleep.
