Sorry for the late post up! Busy day for me, but that's no excuses!
So, here's your chapter today!
Warning:
Mpreg, sensitive, threats, cuss, semi-violence
Harry shut the door to keep Albus out of this and said the security password for a lockdown in this room. He didn't want anyone to interrupt, especially his boyfriend. Now, he has to deal with Malfoy for the spin of a cover boyfriend.
"Might as well tell me what you have been telling your friends about your so-called boyfriend here." Malfoy crossed his arms.
Harry sat down on his bed, "Well, I told them that my boyfriend and I have been dating for less than a year, he's a nice guy, caring, who won't hurt me, and cut me off some slack with not eating breakfast earlier today. Plus, very shy on exposing his relationship with me and keeps it personal with me."
Malfoy nodded, "Sounds like me almost."
Harry tilted his head, "Almost?"
"I wouldn't cut you off some slack for not eating breakfast, you're pregnant."
Harry rolled his eyes, "Well, that's what they know. But, are you sure with the whole cover boyfriend thing?"
Malfoy pointed at the door's direction, "Is your boyfriend easily jealous?"
"Er…in a way, yes, but he's restraining himself."
"His brother really set him off, I assume?"
He nodded, "Yes…in a manner you do not want to see."
Malfoy held an understanding smile, but the silence came in uninvited.
"So, uh, how do we get the whole reveal I'm the boyfriend to everyone and that I claim I'm the father of the baby?" Malfoy shoved his hands into his pocket.
Harry hummed, "Well, I was thinking about getting caught and would be force to explain then. This way, they will realize we fancy each other in their eyes."
"So, you want to fake the sleeping together in bed, they come to check on you while you left the door unlock, and catch us sleeping comfortably."
Harry didn't expect Malfoy to have a creative idea there and that would be a perfect way to have a blown cover.
"That would be good, they are starting to make a habit coming in here now." Harry stated.
"Then, we'll need to practice hugging, holding hands, snuggling, and I think we'll stick with kissing on the cheeks and not comfortable with PDA."
"PDA?"
"Public Display Affection."
"Oh," Harry blushed, "Yeah, that's Albus and my situations."
"Good to know. Plus, I do disappear a lot. So, this can clear the air for a lot of people."
Harry rolled his eyes, "Yeah, you're missing and no one seems to find you. Plus, my friends noticed I defended you…so, you'll actually fit the role a bit."
"Should we start practicing?"
Harry sighed and they started out hugging each other, but it didn't exactly start out easy for Harry. He had to figure out how to wrap his arms around Draco without causing inner conflicts or discomfort of himself. About few minutes, Malfoy managed to find the right position and made things easier for both of them. They both turned red on their cheeks and quickly depart themselves. They went onto snuggling by the fireplace, on Draco's arm, and the bed. The holding hands were easier for Harry and he never knew how big and comfy Malfoy's hands were. It would be as if his hands can cover two birds in them. Lastly, Malfoy demonstrate his ways of kissing on Harry's cheeks and Harry followed the same. Definitely when the two's cheeks were like pink roses.
No mama, no new dada.
Harry jumped at the sudden thought of his daughter. He feels this may complicate things…oh, he knew that much.
"Oh, no, sweetie, he's not replacing daddy. He's helping me so I can stay with your daddy." Harry told her.
Promise?
"I promise." He smiled.
Malfoy chuckled, "I doubt I'm much of a threat to Dumbledore to be the father anyway, how's her thinking intelligence?"
Harry shrugged, "She's thinks like a toddler, but she understands some of the words she thinks of."
Malfoy drew out his wands and chanted something as a book appeared, "This book is what my mother read out loud to me when she began being pregnant with me. When she was three months pregnant, my mind was already advancing. I imagine your daughter will be advance within a few weeks. Right now, she's only relying on what she hears." He handed it over to him.
"…great, I have to cut off cussing, oh, merlin's beard." Harry shook his head and accepted the book.
He sets it down on the table and headed over to the dresser.
"I see Professor really put in a lot of effort for you in this room," Malfoy observed the room, especially the nursery side.
Harry nodded as he pulled out his pajamas, "Yeah, ever since we found out I was pregnant. He wanted to give me a room so none of the other boys would pester me or even dare cross the line to take advantage of me. But, I think he wants to keep the stress level down for me and overdid it."
"He has fine taste for the designs and good influences for the baby too look at. The rocking chair will be a soothing time with the baby as well, pregnant and afterbirth." Malfoy stated.
Harry blinked, "…how did you know it's a soothing time?"
He hummed, "Mother lost two babies…they were my younger siblings and died rare case of a dangerous illnesses. They were twins as well."
Harry frowned at the thought of Malfoy losing his siblings at such a young age. He couldn't believe how difficult it could be for the mother who carried their children throughout birth. He soothed his baby to know he wasn't going to let that happen.
"…I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault, Potter."
Harry chuckled and he knew he was never going to hear the end of it. His thumb pointed to the bathroom.
"I'm heading into shower. Don't steal anything or wreck them, Albus won't be able to control himself if something happens." Harry warned.
Harry walked into the shower, not caring about how Draco's reacting, and Draco had no idea Harry wasn't joking about Albus. He decided to observe the room to let time fly by and noticed the books Harry was into or taking currently. To him, he recognized some of the book and familiar what it was about. So, he grasps some of the understanding to what type of a person Harry was to him.
He found pictures, but not exactly his friends and himself. He saw the Mr. and Mrs. Potter and now, he could see this was the only way for Harry to see his parents. He saw absolutely no pictures of the current family and he often did wonder about that. No journal or diary for Harry to write either.
He sighed and drew out his wand. He used the basic spell to bring his clothes for tonight and tomorrow. He decided to change into for the night, but he only wore black pajama pants that went passed his ankles. It almost covered his feet, but he didn't care. He started to set them on Harry's desk, so he would know where to retrieve them.
Harry came out of the shower all dried up and dressed into his blue pajamas shirt and pants. He froze at the sight of Malfoy half-naked body. He saw how developed muscles Malfoy has with six pack abs exposing to his sight.
"Uh-I-I-uh, Malfoy, wh-why are you not wearing a-a-a shirt?"
Malfoy chuckled, "I don't sleep in with my shirt anymore, it's comfortable. Do you mind?" He placed his hands onto his waists.
Harry shook his head, "N-no. I'm surprised to see you work out."
Malfoy smiled, "Thanks." He noticed Harry's pajamas really showed his pregnancy, "How far long are you with your girl?"
Harry's hands rubbed his stomach, "Almost four months in two week."
Malfoy took noticed on and kept that in mind. For now, they had to work this out to remain Harry's relationship a secret by covering this up. Harry climbed into bed and Malfoy joined along. At first, they felt uncomfortable and didn't know how to sleep together.
"Potter!" Malfoy was already annoyed by now, "Hold on! I have an idea." He muttered something else.
The Slytherin boy forced Harry to sit up first, he slid up closer, and leaned back. Then, he pulled him down closer to allow Harry's head on his chest. Harry noticed how warm Malfoy was and decided to push it aside.
"Are you comfort? Beside the next idea might be a bit too much and-"
"-It's fine, Malfoy. By the way, should I call you Draco or Dray or sweetie-"
"I like Dray, you can call me that in public. I always wanted someone to call me that." He smiled.
Harry blinked, "If I had called you that, would we have been friends?"
"…I am not sure, Harry. For now, let's get into the whole routine being…an item."
Harry nodded and felt comfortable to sleep on Malfoy for a while. Malfoy curled his arms around Harry and they drifted off to sleep without worrying about anything.
Hermione and Ron walked straight over to the headmaster's office of early morning start of their day. They were glad today was Friday and Hermione couldn't wait to plan the whole shopping after all classes were done. To Ron, he thought it was an excuse to be off school ground. They were glad to know the headmaster's password for once instead of counting on Harry or Dumbledore to get them in. They went up the stairs and saw Albus at his desk. He was too busy working on some of the things he needed to deal with at the moment. They felt no needs to bother him and helped themselves into Harry's room, knowing it wasn't lock.
They looked around as they came and dropped their bags at their very sight. They were seeing Harry snuggling with someone in his bed. They knew he had a boyfriend, but they didn't expect…
"MALFOY?!" The teenagers screeched.
Harry and Malfoy were prepared to play along, knowing it was to keep the baby safe, and Dumbledore out of the mess. Malfoy woke up in fear and clung onto Harry, showing them his fear of them finding out, and Harry chuckled out of guilt.
"I think I should have locked that door." Harry said quietly.
Malfoy glanced at Harry, "You think!? I thought it was already locked and n-n-now they have seen us!"
Harry patted Malfoy's chest to calm him down.
"Relax, they know you're nice-"
"-Harry! He is not nice as you defined!" Ron scoffed.
Hermione nodded, "Yes! We do not approve of this relationship, we don't trust Malfoy!"
The rich boy pouted, "I told you, Harry! They hate me already."
Harry snuggled up onto his 'cover' boyfriend's arm, "Now, they will have to apologize if they wish to keep me happy."
Ron and Hermione exchanged glances at each other, feeling bad now, and thought about it.
"It would make sense from yesterday, he did defend the boyfriend, and perhaps we're the ones who have been blind seeing this." Hermione gestured over to the couples.
Ron sighed, "I supposed we can't do nothing much about this since we have no idea what has been going on for almost a year." His head shook, "But I do want to kill him for getting Harry knocked up," He shot a glare at Malfoy.
Malfoy sighed, "We had no idea he could get pregnant!" He brushed soft fingers against Harry's stomach, "But I'm not leaving him alone with my daughter," He smiled.
Harry giggled and adored the way Draco was behaving around his friends. He eases down and showed comfort in exposing his boyfriend.
"You're cute when you're serious, Dray." Harry couldn't stop smiling.
Ron's eyes twitched at the thought of two former enemies in each other's arms and…nicknames?
"Only for you, my sweet." He placed a kiss onto Harry's cheek.
Harry blushed and his friends were utterly shocked to witness this. So far, Harry knew all this acting would be worth to keep the baby safe and their headmaster. They believed him this much.
"How…did you even…?" Hermione couldn't put her words together in this.
Malfoy chuckled lightly, "How we fell in love?" He hummed, "I supposed I was teasing him one day in the hallway and he was upset at me for disrupting him on his training for the event last year. I found what bothered him and called him sexy gay he is."
Harry shook his head, "I was actually annoyed and mad when you called me that. I was so confused why you thought I was gay."
His boyfriend patted his hand, "I enjoyed calling you that every day until you slapped my face and I laughed."
"I asked what's wrong with you?"
"I told you that I had feelings for you, but you wouldn't go out with me."
"I froze at what you said," Harry smirked.
"And I loved the way you reacted, so I kissed you in my control."
Harry shook his head, "That made me weak knees for weeks. I had to cover up everything I do, but when you kissed me. I couldn't do anything and let you do it."
"I thought you loved it, so I thought I tried a different approach. I asked you out."
Harry chuckled, "And I slapped your face for demanding you to explain yourself. You smiled and gave me that happy look. From then, I knew you were serious and said one date and that's it."
"You had no idea how happy that made me and I instantly prepared out date with everything."
Harry smirked, "I thought it was a prank, but you really went all the way out for me. You made me realize you're a sweetheart Slytherin and wanted no one but you."
Ron was eager enough to throw up, but Hermione did not see this coming. Albus knocked on the door and came in willingly. He jolted and saw the two.
"…Mr. Malfoy, what are you doing here?" He asked.
Harry knew his true boyfriend was playing along.
Ron shook his head numerous of times, "Professor Dumbledore, they're dating each other…literally." He got up and left the room to feel unease about this.
Dumbledore watched one of the Gryffindor leaves the room and Hermione sighed.
"Can this world get anymore insane?" She asked.
Albus chuckled, "I supposed, but it would make sense to think about it." He shrugged, "But all four of you should get yourself breakfast and get your day started."
Malfoy nodded, "Of course, I have to pester him to make sure he eats."
Harry felt slightly annoyed to the fact he had to be eating every moment he had the chance. This was much more of a challenge to himself to deal with two different lifestyles, one with pretending to be in love with Malfoy and the other is where he's free to be himself around Albus and Malfoy. This had to be very strange way of living his life like this.
Now, I am currently writing chapter 13 as we speak...then again, it's almost finished with that and will be getting into chapter 14 as well. I will be trying to get ahead so you guys can expect a chapter every day to be the least - three weeks left of school! Yes!
Sorry, anyway, expect the next chapter tomorrow as usual~
