Thank You for your reviews! :

CC-RandomDragon, Mika the Dark princess, DoctorMarthaJones, Sarahamanda, Yana5,

Hikory (Yes, Madam Pomfrey would have informed all of the teachers so they know not to make him do anything too difficult. Yeah, they're allowed to have Ron there. He'll be helpful to them both, plus soon Harry will be too tired to get frisky anyway because of the baby. I suppose I can divide the room if you want me to, but I don't see how it's a big deal.),

marksmom,

Nocturnal Owl (oops. My bad, it honestly totally slipped my mind. Um, maybe it isn't happening now 'cause of the baby? Yeah, makes sense. He won't become the fish-boy again until it's time for him to give birth. :) I haven't always, and I try to be a little fair, but it doesn't always work when she's so stubbornly blind to what's going on around her.. :)),

HeidiFox (Awww! Thanks! :)), ashie-slytherin-greenflames, Makeupholic (I like it, too! :) He has no reason to be. It's her own fault for being deluded.),

CC-RandomDragon (Thank you! *Squeals* :)), Kab-OldEnoughToDie (Here's the chapter where you see some of that. :)),

Invisiba Jones (No, it happens in this universe, too. :) Hmm.. Interesting idea.. We'll see. They probably won't have kids for a while yet, anyway. They want time to just be together and settle down in Viktor's castle in Bulgaria with his siblings.),

Chapter 36 Defending Love's Honor

Harry entered the Potions classroom and sat down, Draco sitting beside him and putting his arm around his shoulders, pressing his lips to his soft, blushing cheek gently, his free hand caressing his flat stomach tenderly. They had decided last night that even if Ginny hadn't told anyone yet, that they didn't want to keep his condition a secret. Nobody would be able to say that they were ashamed of their baby.

"So it's true then, Potter?" Seamus Finnegan called out loudly. "You're married and expecting Malfoy's brat?"

Draco drew his wand from his robes, about to hex the Irish boy, shocked when Harry stood up quickly, gliding over to Seamus's corner of the classroom, lifting his left fist and punching him square in the face, knocking him out of his chair and onto his ass with the force, standing above him with green eyes blazing with fiery anger and triumph as he flipped his long black hair back over his shoulder with one hand where it had swung forward with his body's momentum.

Seamus stared up at him in stunned disbelief, hardly able to believe that much strength resided in such a thin, feminine looking body. Harry lifted his head to look at everyone in the room, speaking softly but clearly to convey how serious he was.

"I don't ever want to hear any of you, or anyone else, talk about our daughter that way. You will all give her the respect that she deserves as befits her status as a citizen of the magical community, and as a child created of a love deeper then anything you could possibly imagine. I, and my husband, will not tolerate anything less, and next time I will not be so lenient in my actions."

"Mister Potter," Snape said softly when he entered the room with his usual sneer on his face.

Harry turned to face him respectfully. "Yes, Professor?"

"Fifty points will be given to Gryffindor and Slytherin. For your admirable defense of your daughter and loyalty to your family."

Harry glanced around the room with chin raised and a sneer that would make any Malfoy proud, inclining his head to Snape with a small smile. "Thank you, sir."


"I just don't understand you anymore, Ron," Hermione said quietly. She was sitting next to Ron on the couch, while Harry and Draco were whispering where they sat cuddled on their large bed together. "First you support this atrocity between Harry and Malfoy, resulting in the creation of a child between them. And now Ginny tells me that you are entertaining the notion of becoming Viktor Krum's submissive, his.. castle wife, I guess."

"I entertain nothing," the red head returned calmly. "I am Viktor Krum's submissive. The Bond is solid."

"What? You mean you've?.."

"Yes."

"That's dis-"

"Hermione, I love him!" Ron interrupted her sharply, causing Harry and Draco to look up at them then away quickly. "I can understand if you don't understand that, and even that you don't accept it. But if you can't keep your mean opinions to yourself, then.. I don't want to see you anymore. I'm sorry, but that's all that I have to say about it."
