Chapter 7

Hermione watched once again as Harry walked out of the Gryffindor common room. He had been spending less time in Gryffindor tower for the past two weeks. It was beginning to annoy her a little. Harry should be studying; not gallivanting around the castle causing Merlin knew how much trouble. She knew that Ron knew something, though he wasn't saying anything to her. She put away the book she had been reading and went to follow Harry out of the portrait.

Harry was on his way to the entrance hall. He shook his head. He was quite tired of Hermione's behaviour, and had pretty much moved down to Severus' rooms, though the vampire didn't mind. Harry smiled, but immediately frowned when he sensed Hermione's magical energy. He stopped walking and turned around, coming face to face with the bushy brown haired witch. "Hermione, what are you doing following me?" He raised an eyebrow at her. Raising an eyebrow generally had the effect of catching the eye of many people. That was a trait that most Fae and Veela shared was their ability to ensnare the human population.

Hermione came up sharp as Harry whirled around to face her. She snorted and looked annoyed at the young Fae in front of her. "You disappear from the dorm constantly, I never see you do homework. Yet somehow you hand it in, and I know your not going to the library, so don't even think about using that excuse. I know you told Ron something, and he won't tell me. I want to know what is going on with you," she almost yelled at him, keeping her voice down to an angry simmer.

Harry looked at her. "I don't have to tell you anything. I am allowed to have my own secrets Hermione." He took a step back from her; he wanted the space between her and him. He tried not to move his arms in any way, as he knew he might do something stupid. "I do my homework elsewhere. I don't have to do it in the library or in the common room. Ron's not saying anything because I asked him not to, and he's respecting my privacy. As for you, you're acting as if I'm not allowed to try and do what I need to keep myself healthy." His eyes narrowed her. His normally vibrant emerald eyes darkened into a deep jade that could have put a curse on someone just by looking at them. He wasn't in any mood to deal with Hermione. She was acting as if she was the boss of him, which she wasn't. He was rather glad about that.

Hermione puffed herself up, trying to make herself bigger than what she was. "I may not be the boss of you Harry James Potter, but I know something is going on, and I need to know about it to make sure you are kept safe. Voldemort may not be around anymore, but there are still people around that would love to see you hurt or even dead. I know you need to stay healthy, but you also need to be able to do something in the future when you leave Hogwarts or are you going to end up a jobless nobody. I think your parents would be ashamed of you if you don't do well in school." She was not really listening to what Harry was saying.

Harry's cheeks turned red with anger. "I know that Hermione. I'm being safe, I'm doing fine in school and I'm studying. I won't end up jobless. But you don't control me at all. You may think you are protecting me, but you aren't. You're stifling me. I can't be safe if I'm not healthy." He then spun around and went to walk right out of the school and towards the Quidditch pitch. He needed away from Hermione badly. She was being cruel to him and he couldn't take her attitude any longer. She was treating him like dirt, at least that's how he saw it. He was partially driven by his hormones, but he was somewhat correct.

Draco was sitting in the library, finishing off his DADA essay. He was almost at the end of the two-foot essay when he was his with a tidal wave of emotions leaking through the bond. He sent out his Veela sense to see which one of his bonded it was. He felt Severus was happy and content, with a hint of confusion. 'Knowing Severus he is in his lab messing with some potion or other.' He smiled to himself. He reached out to Harry and was almost overwhelmed with the feeling of frustration and anger. He packed his things away into his bag and got up, he needed to find Harry and help the Fae to calm down.

Draco found Harry in the Entrance Hall. Hermione was there still, standing her ground. Harry was up in her face, his eyes narrowed. "You don't get it at all Hermione. You don't understand what its like to be a Fae. You don't understand the pull nature has on my very being. You're just a normal human with magical abilities. That doesn't give you the right to criticize me." He didn't notice Draco walking down the stairs to where Hermione and Harry were. Harry was too wrapped up in trying to get Hermione to leave him alone. Of course, even Draco noticed that the brown haired girl didn't seem to get the idea.

Draco watched and felt as Harry became more irritated with the busy haired young witch. 'I have to do something to get him away from her without being obvious,' he thought to himself as he watched the young idiot try and stop Harry from going anywhere. His eyes lit up and a malicious smirk appeared on his face. He walked towards the pair and purposefully bashed into one Hermione Granger. "Watch it Granger," he sneered. "I wonder what the library thinks about its missing bookworm extraordinaire. Oh wait! The books don't miss you anymore because you have forgotten how to read what is in them," he added, sensing Harry moving away from them quickly. Draco wanted to have it out with Granger for all the stress the foolish witch had caused Harry.

Harry turned and scurried away, heading towards Severus' rooms. Hermione was too distracted by Draco to notice, this made Harry happy. Hermione's brown eyes narrowed at him. "Malfoy, can't you leave anybody alone. You're snobbish and rude." Hermione was never the one to think of the great comebacks, but that wasn't really that surprising. It was all how it ended up. She went to look back at Harry, finding that he wasn't there. "Where did he go?" She was not in a good mood about that. She didn't think it was right for Harry to be wandering off by himself, which was what he had just done.

Draco smiled to himself; Harry was more than likely heading towards Severus to seek some solitude from the infernal witch. He needed to keep her occupied just a little longer until he could feel Harry relax when he neared Severus. "What's wrong you lost your little lamb have you? Oh dear, poor little Bo Peep. What ever shall you do?" he mocked the young girl and her chasing after Harry like he was a lost lamb.

Hermione's hands clenched at her sides. "Draco Malfoy, you are the utter epitome of arrogance." She then lifted her hand and slapped him across the cheek once again. She didn't like the insults he was throwing at her. Well, she perceived them to be insults. Draco held his cheek for a moment; he had been expecting such a reaction from her. She glared at him, making sure he could see her eyes. She didn't say anything for a full minute, but on the other end of the bond, Draco could feel Harry relaxing. It might be because of Severus, or just because he was far away from Hermione, whatever it was, Draco was relieved.

Draco smirked, his eyes taking a gleam of triumph. He let go of his stinging cheek and said two small words to her, knowing she would not get what he was referring to. "I win." And walked off towards the Slytherin dungeons.

Hermione humphed and went in search of Harry once again. She was not going to let him stay out when he needed to be with someone else. As Draco walked down the hall he was suddenly tackled by a mass of black. This turned out to be Harry. "Thank you SO much Drake! Thank you, thank you, thank you." He was hugging the taller Veela, not letting go for anything. Of course, with the close proximity, it was easy to feel his much larger bump. It was obvious that he was growing quickly, not that it was all that surprising.

Draco wrapped his arms around the exuberant Fae and closed his eyes, letting the feel and sense of Harry surround him. He could just about feel the gentle and barely noticeable magic coming from the child. He was excited about the pregnancy. He moved his hand down to the lovable bump and let it rest there. 'I wonder if Severus has told Harry that the pregnancy won't be that long,' he thought to himself as he captured Harry's soft lips in a gentle kiss.

Harry kissed him back, but sadly, the kiss was interrupted by someone coughing. "I believe that you two should not be snogging in the middle of the dungeons. It might look a little odd." The two pulled away from each other to come face to face with one Severus Snape. It had been a while since he had last seen Harry and Draco together, so he took in the sight that greeted him. He noticed how one of Draco's hands was resting upon Harry's stomach and smiled himself. As far as he knew, Harry had no idea just how long this pregnancy would last. This could be quite the interesting development.

Harry smiled widely and threw himself at the older man and quickly stole a kiss from him as he was caught by the strong arms. "Sevvie!" he cried happily. Harry couldn't understand it, he felt overly happy when seeing both his mates, it was a hard job for him to walk away when Draco had shown up earlier to distract Hermione from one of her rants. He looked over to Draco with a kicked puppy look and motioned him over to them both. "I want a group hug Drakie." He smiled, batting his eyes at the smitten Veela. Draco rolled his eyes, but joined them both in the embrace.

Harry giggled happily and sighed. He was in a good place right then. He was technically a month pregnant now, though Harry didn't say a single thing and he liked the idea of letting his mates fawn over him. They were good at this one. He sighed happily and then giggled again. Severus looked down at him. He had never heard Harry giggle twice in a row. He raised an eyebrow. "Harry, why are you giggling so much?" The older man decided to make all three of them begin the walk back to his rooms, as he knew they didn't need to be seen in the corridors at all.

He ran in front of them a little and started to dance, or to better put it, twirl around and around. "I'm just SO happy, I have both of my mates with me and I have a little baby on the way. Life could not get any better," he said joyfully, and then suddenly he stopped and looked at them both "Well except for that overbearing, annoying, pompous little know it all, Hermione Granger. She treats me like I am nothing but dirt, why does she do that, she was my friend." Tears began to form in his eyes, as he perceived Hermione's attitude as a betrayal.

Draco walked up to Harry and pulled him into his arms. Severus opened the door to his rooms, as he had found Harry and Draco not too far down. Draco led Harry into the room and Severus followed, closing the door behind him. "Harry, she doesn't understand," Severus started. "In her world everything can fit into a little book, the problem is, life isn't like that. She doesn't understand what its like to have a mate or to have a child. All she knows is being human and that's it. She can't understand what everything around you means." He then walked over to Draco and Harry, setting a hand on both their shoulders. "She doesn't get what it's like to be part of a mated pair, well mated trio in this case." This got a chuckle out of both Harry and Draco.

Harry looked over to Severus and said softly, "I know Severus, I wish there was a way we could get her to see, to show her. But I know as soon as I even try she would tell someone. I know Ron knows about the pregnancy, but I trust him with everything, even my life. He has stood strong with me, Hermione is bossy and tells me what I should and shouldn't do, and she has always done that," he said softly. A glint of mischief entered the emerald green eyes and he said, "I wonder if in our next potion class you could make her potion explode, nothing serious just get her in trouble for bad work. It is her worst nightmare," he suggested to them both. "I just want to get my own back a little," he added, chuckling lightly.

Severus shook his head. "I won't say anything if Draco does it, but I can't do it in my part as a teacher." He kissed the top of Harry's forehead. Harry smiled and pulled the two onto the couch where he sat down. The couch was Harry's new, favorite spot. He snuggled into Draco for the first time and chuckled softly. Severus looked at Harry and Draco. "Harry, I've been meaning to ask, just what do you know about your pregnancy?" He couldn't recall how much he had told the boy. He didn't want any shocks coming up.

"Well, I know that it does not take as long as a normal pregnancy. That I need to fly a lot more, I have a pull within me telling me I should be outside flying around. I have to eat right. Just the basics I think, why is something wrong with the baby? Have I done something wrong?" Harry's answer turned to the beginnings of a panic attack as he thought that he may have done something wrong and hurt the child that lay within him.

"No," Severus said hurriedly. That calmed Harry down. "You haven't done anything wrong. I wanted to see if I forgot to tell you something, which I did." Severus stopped talking and Harry raised one of his eyebrows. Draco gave Severus a look. He didn't like that he had nearly caused a panic attack in the young Fae. "Okay," Severus started. "You see, as this child is only part Fae and the other parts are human and Vampire, this child won't take as long to be born as it would if the other parent had Fae, Elf or Veela DNA. So, you'll only be pregnant for four months instead of six." Harry's eyes just went wide at that thought.

He jumped up from the embrace with Draco and Severus and started to pace and said quickly, "But… but that only leaves us three months to make sure we have everything we need for when the baby is born. We need a cot, clothes and toys, loads of things. Severus, Draco we have to go shopping, I have to get some things ready, who knows how much longer I am able to go around without anyone knowing I am pregnant. You should have told me earlier," he finished his little rant.

Draco blinked at Harry's behavior. He had never seen the boy rant and rave so much. Severus shook his head and had to figure out what to say. He didn't say anything for several moments. "Harry, calm down, everything will be fine. We'll get what we need, it won't be hard. You need to relax and not stress yourself out." When Harry passed by him in his pacing, Severus grabbed him and pulled him into his lap. Harry fit quite well and the boy just looked at him. He hadn't seen Severus do such a thing in a while. Draco watched him and noticed that Harry was calming down in Severus' lap.

Harry leaned against Severus' strong chest, sighing softly. "I know Severus, and I'm sorry. I just don't want our child to have nothing. I know I am being stupid, but I can't help it. I worry that I will be a bad dad. I don't want to be. Everything has to be perfect for when the little one comes. What if I am like the Dursleys. It makes me feel sick thinking about it," he explained quietly as he felt Draco behind him, gently stroking his back soothingly.

Severus kissed Harry's forehead. Draco continued to stroke his hair. "Harry, you won't be a bad parent. The fact that you want the child and wish everything to be perfect means that," Draco said. This was one of the few compliments that Draco served and it was just as special. Harry's eyes fluttered and he turned his head to look at Draco. Draco gave him a soft smile. People didn't believe that Malfoys had the ability to smile, well Draco did at least. Severus' hand moved to the large bump on his stomach. This was a soft moment between the three of them.

Harry closed his eyes in contentment. "Have I told you two that I love you recently, because you know what I do love you both so very much. I'm happy that you both decided to join with me. My life feels just about perfect. Love you Draco, love you Severus," he said, kissing them both softly.

Severus smiled. "Love you Harry," the two said at the same time. Harry settled his head on Severus' shoulder and let Severus rub his stomach. He liked how it made him feel. This was one of the better days of Harry's life, though he still wanted to move away from Hermione. The only problem was that he didn't want to leave Ron alone in the tower. This made Harry sigh. Severus looked at him. "What's wrong love?" He continued to rub the swell.

"I don't want to leave Ron in the tower by himself; Hermione is getting on his nerves as well. She keeps moaning and griping to him about me and my flying. She is… oh!" he exclaimed and looked down at his small swell. He smiled gleefully and looked up to the other two and said softly, with tears of happiness forming in his eyes. "The baby just kicked me. Oh they did it again, here feel," he said as he first grabbed Severus' hand and let him feel the little press of a foot, or a hand and then he grabbed Draco's. They both smiled softly and three hands crowded the swell. All excited about the new development with the child.

The baby kicked again and this brought an even bigger smile to their faces. Harry leaned into Draco, as he was behind him now. Severus leaned in and kissed Harry. "Well, this is a great development." Harry nodded and closed his eyes. He liked having Draco and Severus' hands on his stomach and the feel of the child. It was then that he realized he couldn't wait for the child to be born and three months seemed like forever for him to wait. Harry just stayed like that, feeling calmness flow over his body.
