Summary: Life seems to be okay, but when you find out you have to mate, it only gets stranger. Isn't a person meant to only have one mate? What does it mean when you've got two? What do you do when only one is the submissive? Well, three people are to find out soon.

Notes: This is a new header now, as Tiger has changed her style a bit. But the main part of information is that we are trying to make some parts as believable as possible. This is also a warning, though we think people have realized by now, this is not a fic for people who like Hermione.

Chapter 16

Ron stood, waiting at the gates to Hogwarts. It had been two days since he had talked to Lucius Malfoy in the Three Broomsticks. He was going to stay around while Lucius talked to Severus, Harry and Draco, though he felt that things would be fine between the triad and Draco's father. Severus had come up to him the day before and told him that he had to be there when they talked to Lucius Malfoy.

Lucius arrived at the gates and looked at Ron. "I assume you've been asked to lead me to the rooms." Ron nodded and turned around, leading Lucius to the school. Neither said a single thing. Lucius thought that there would likely be a fight with Draco, whereas Ron thought everything would be just fine. Nobody knew which one it would be, but they could only hope that it would turn out just fine. Lucius finally spoke. "What are you going to do while I talk?"

He looked over towards the elder blonde and answered, "Severus wants me there and it maybe to be around in case Harry gets upset. As Draco or Severus may be upset as well, I may be the only that can calm him down. I think he also wants me there just in case you try and take Draco away." His answer was as truthful as he could make it. Something told him that telling the blonde a lie would not be a good way to start of this little visit.

Lucius only nodded. He accepted the answer, no matter how much he disliked it. He was scowling. Ron walked up to Severus' door, leading Lucius all the way down to the teacher's dungeon rooms. Instead of walking in like he normally did, he actually knocked on the door this time. He took a deep breath in and waited. It didn't take long for the door to open. Lucius and Ron were greeted with the sight of a shirtless Severus. The man had been in the shower when Ron left, but hadn't gotten enough time to put his shirt on when Ron arrived again. "Ah, hello Ron, Lucius," Severus said. He stepped aside and held the door open for the two. Ron thanked him and walked in, Lucius following right behind.

Draco and Harry were curled up on the couch together as they waited for Severus to finish getting dressed, and for Lucius to show up. Harry was wearing a tight jumper which showed everyone his bump. At that moment the kids were kicking, as Harry was feeling incredibly nervous. You could see his stomach rising up in places. "Please sit down, both of you," Severus said as he disappeared from the room back into the bedroom to put something on. Lucius and Ron sat side by side on the loveseat in the room.

"Hello Mr. Malfoy," Harry said. He smiled ever so slightly, feeling increasingly nervous. He didn't want to let Draco go, and he was holding the pale blonde's hand. He felt an especially strong kick from his children and took a deep breath. There was something slightly off to him, but he didn't say much else. Draco rubbed Harry's shoulder, but didn't say anything. He only nodded to Lucius, instead focusing on Harry. Nobody said a single thing, waiting for Severus to return. They didn't have long, as the man returned fully clothed and joined Harry and Draco on the couch.

Lucius didn't say anything, he just watched. He saw his son; someone he thought had become too much like himself smile and be concerned for someone else. He saw love shining so brightly in his young son's eyes that he was slightly jealous of it. He and Narcissa had been friends, but there was no love between them. He watched as Harry gave a tight smile, he could see a bit of pain in the green eyes of his son's lover, he was slightly confused by it.

Severus let out a small sigh and placed a kiss on the side of Harry's head, placing his hand on the noticeable stomach. Lucius didn't say anything as he watched them. All three seemed to interact quite well. After a moment Harry relaxed. Draco handed Harry over to Severus. The boy didn't fight; he let them move him over. He sighed quietly, but it was a contented sigh. Finally Draco looked back at Lucius, his face taking on a stoic mask. "You wanted to see me father and now you're here, so get on with it." He crossed his arms and waited for Lucius to speak.

Lucius' ice blue eyes warmed a little as they took on a sad quality. "I have never once seen you happy until today. I tried everything, giving you whatever you wanted and demanded. You always gave a polite smile, but I have never seen a true smile on your face. Before you noticed that I was in the room you were smiling freely. Then you saw me and that stoic mask came into place. You know why I objected to you finding your mate?" he said softly as he looked at his only son.

"Because you wanted me to produce an heir and you didn't know if my mate would be able to," Draco responded. Harry was whispering something to Severus, causing the older man to nod. He then set his head on Severus' chest, but other then that, all was quiet. Draco just watched Lucius, not taking his silver eyes off of the man. He felt that the man was going to take him away all because of who his submissive mate was. He knew that if it was Severus there might not have been a problem, seeing as how that meant Draco would have been the submissive, but the fact that the submissive was Harry, he thought that Lucius would never approve and that would ultimately hurt Draco. He wasn't leaving the two for anything.

Lucius actually smiled at his son, which shocked the other occupants of the room. "Correct. Mr. Weasley told me that I had to see the three of you together, and that when I did, I would be able to see for myself that you would be better off here with Severus and Mr. Potter. I must say I was doubtful that it would change anything," he said as he looked over to where Severus and Harry sat, he had noticed the exchange of words and was slightly curious.

Harry had his jewel colored eyes closed. He had one hand resting on Severus' chest, and the other placed upon his stomach. He was completely unaware of Lucius' eyes on him, Severus of course was. "You know as well as I do Lucius, that it kills a Veela to not be with their mates. So if you wanted your son to live, you would have to let him stay." He had his own arm around Harry's shoulder still and this was a protective gesture, especially for a vampire. That was proof enough to Lucius that Harry was indeed with child, this type of movement was only done when the vampire's mate was expecting, though it was only with their child, he was a little curious about that as well.

Lucius gave a small burst of laughter. "Did I say I was thinking about taking him away now? No Severus,I will not take him away. I have never seen my son happy, and if this is what it takes for him to be happy then so be it. The one thing that worried me is no longer a problem and I know that he will be taken care of. I trust you Severus; I have done so for a very long time, even when you were spying on Voldemort," he told his long time friend.

Severus muttered something, but that was all. Harry opened his eyes and looked up at Severus. "That wasn't very nice Sev." He then looked at Lucius. He watched him in that unnerving way only a Fae could manage. He didn't take his eyes off of the boy, unable to really see a single thing in front of him. Finally Harry hummed and sat up, pulling out of Severus' embrace and moved over to Draco. He then looked between the two. "You're still a little worried, I can tell. You're worried about any heirs that Draco produces. They would barely be human, about half human." He was being unbelievably observant. Ron chuckled to himself, knowing that Harry could have these moments quite well.

Lucius nodded. "The Malfoy family has always prided themselves on the fact they are pureblood. To find out that Draco had Veela blood in him, enough that he had a destined mate was unnerving. But to have him with someone else, all would be fine. It was a shock to find out about the Veela inheritance. It takes away a little, but even more so when there are children between creature bloods. It may cause a stirring within the Malfoy family. We are the head of the family, direct descendents. But someone from the other lines can contest to it if they feel the line in dying out, or not pure enough. It is always a problem, but even more so with creature mates and such." The truth was there in his eyes, he wanted to uphold his ancestor's line.

Harry nodded. "I can't do anything about that. My mother was a full-blooded Fae. I can't explain it at all." He sighed and placed a hand on his stomach. "But in some sense, I don't think it will matter. Even you have to admit that the fact your son caught the supposedly hard to catch Harry Potter is going to be something to remember." He frowned at that and had to shift as his kids kicked quite hard again. He didn't like that thought, but he knew how purebloods seemed to think about that. He sighed once again and leaned into Severus. Draco ran his fingers through Harry's long black hair. It soothed the young Fae to have the attention of both his mates.

"I may have to admit it Mr. Potter, but that is no way to think of yourself, now is it? You are a very powerful wizard, and a half blood Fae. Those of Fae blood are usually unnoticed and never tell anyone what they are unless they are the Fae's mate; I think you are the only Fae that is known publicly. There is nothing I can truly do to keep the bloodline as pure as I want it. I will not take you away from each other." Lucius went quiet for a moment as he thought. "I did not think your family were all Muggles, but maybe squibs, as Fae do not interact with Muggles, only magical people."

Harry nodded and winced. He had both his hands on his stomach and looked at Severus. "Sev, your kids are beating me up." Harry's voice was whiny. Severus reached out and rubbed Harry's stomach and smiled ever so slightly. Harry shook his head and leaned against Draco's chest. Lucius inwardly chuckled at the moment. Harry then looked at Lucius again. "You're not as bad as people make you out to be Mr. Malfoy." He closed his eyes and shook his head once again. He had a slight headache forming, but that was normal for a pregnant Fae when they hadn't eaten at certain moments.

Ron had been silent throughout the whole conversation, but he had been feeling everything that Harry had. "You need to eat Harry." Was all he said, he looked over to Severus and said, "He is getting a headache because he is not eating when he should. He didn't eat anything at breakfast, as he was too nervous about the meeting with Mr. Malfoy. "I'll go and get him something, alright." He got a nod from Severus and got up and left the four of them alone.

Harry only sighed. Lucius looked between the two. "Is he always able to do that?" Severus nodded in response. This caused a contemplative look to appear on Lucius' face. "Well, this is interesting." Harry just set his head on Draco's shoulder and rubbed his stomach to soothe his children. He didn't really want to talk about anything. Nobody spoke once again, waiting for Ron to return. There was something about having the young Weasley there that helped them all manage to talk without feeling that something was wrong.

It was another ten minutes before Ron walked back into the room. Levitated behind him was lunch, enough for everyone with some spare. He set it down on the small coffee table. "I got enough for you all and Harry to eat as much as you can manage, and it better be more than a plate." He then gathered some food for himself and sat back down next to Lucius. They soon had a plate each, though Harry's was overflowing thanks to Severus and Draco adding things to it when they noticed that he wasn't putting much on it. Ron just smiled at them both, silently thanking them for doing so.

Harry shook his head, but didn't argue. He knew that arguing would be quite pointless. He was silently eating, thanking everything in existence that he was starting to feel better. He was hoping that he wouldn't have to deal with another pregnancy for a bit, he wanted to see his kids grow up. Slight problem was that nobody was telling him just how fertile a Fae was, and he couldn't find the information anywhere. Harry sighed and continued to eat. Draco looked at Harry. "What's wrong?" Draco asked. It was unusual for Harry to sigh at his food.

"I'm just wondering how fertile Fae are. I know I can get pregnant, but will I get pregnant again the next time we have sex after giving birth, or will it wait a while? I'm just curious, not one of the books on Fae, I have read, mentioned it at all. It just said male and female are able to get pregnant," Harry answered as he took a bite of a crispy chicken leg.

Severus rolled his eyes. He had been waiting quite a while for Harry to ask that. It was quite the complicated question. He felt that it was his job to tell Harry everything he could about Fae. He saw Lucius ready to say something, but he held his hand up, causing Lucius to stop. He thought about his words for a moment and then smiled. "Well…When it comes to Fae, you know they live longer than the average wizard, who lives normally to a hundred and fifteen. Well, when it comes to it, Fae also have fertility until their death, though it tapers off at the end." He suddenly stopped and picked up the glass he had filled with blood earlier and took a drink. He set it down again. "The truth is, there is no constant. They are usually fertile all the time. This means you could, or could not. The reason this is, is because you're a male submissive. Female submissives have a period of time where they can't, but that's because they can breastfeed. Male submissives don't have this period of time." He then stopped once again and continued to eat his meat. He didn't like the meat at the school as they cooked it too much and he preferred to have it quite bloody.

"So I could be pregnant when I am a hundred and fifty? Wow that's a very long time." He smiled as he thought of being old and grey with a bump on him. "It's funny to think that. Can you picture me at that age and pregnant?" Harry laughed.

Severus shook his head. "You have to remember that I'm also vampire. When a vampire bonds, the mate of the vampire is affected by them. Meaning that you'll only die if I die, and the problem with vampires is they're the being on this earth that is that the closest to immortal, underneath the gods." He watched as Harry's eyes widened at that statement. Draco's eyes also widened. He knew that having bonded to Harry ultimately bound him to Severus, this only worked because Harry had already bonded with him. The only cementing process was that if they wanted to, they could share blood. Draco wanted to wait to cement it like that. Harry let out a shudder all of a sudden, making both look at him. Severus chuckled, realizing what it was about. "Don't worry Harry, it's not TOO horrible."

"But I would see my friends grow old and die, and I'll still be here. I don't want to see them die." Harry looked over at Ron and began to cry, he didn't like the thought that one day Ron would not be there next to him.

Severus laughed once again. "You need to research some more Harry. If you two are truly heart brothers, you can form a bond that will allow you two to live as long as the other, but that requires the consent of both." He then looked at Lucius who sat there with a contemplative look on his face. "If you think too hard Lucius, you'll ruin that nice blonde head of yours."

Lucius snorted at the remark, he would have come up with a clever quip, but he wasn't as good as Severus and would only look like a fool trying. "I have a book on heart brothers, if you both would like to borrow, it then please say so and I shall send it to you. Though if you don't know for sure, there is a spell that will tell you both if you are. You should find out as soon as possible."

Harry just relaxed. "I think we are, there are too many signs that say so." Ron nodded in agreement. Harry looked at Draco and Severus. "I'm getting tired and need help up." They nodded and helped him up. Severus then walked Harry to the bedroom. That was another thing, as his pregnancy progressed he became increasingly tired. This was normal, but usually it would have to be into the third month, and so far Harry hadn't reached that time. He wasn't over with the third month and already he was this tired. Severus was worried about that, because that meant that he might not be able to carry the children to term. He thought that most of it would be on Hermione. Usually when something like that happened with either Fae or Veela, they would have the child early. Harry having twins made it worse.

Lucius looked over towards Draco when the other two left and asked, "Is he alright? I didn't think he was that far along in his pregnancy to be that tired." Draco could see the slight worry in his father's eyes when he asked the question.

Draco shook his head. "He isn't. I'm worried as well. Granger caused quite a few problems for him during the early stages." This caused Ron to scowl worse than usual. When it came to Hermione, he wanted her dead as quickly as possible, but that wasn't really happening. Severus came back after Harry was tucked in and returned to his seat, he had a look of worry on his face. Draco looked at him. "He's getting worse, isn't he?" Severus nodded in response.

Severus scooted next to Draco and pulled him into his arms, he knew the blonde was upset as well as worried about their mate. He hoped that the embrace would comfort him. "I don't think he will be able to carry them to term. What Granger did while he was in the early stages put a severe strain on him, and his ability to carry them? It won't affect any future pregnancies, but the damage for this one has been done. I just hope he is able to carry them for a little while longer. I do not know if they will survive at this stage," Severus said to them all.

Ron frowned. "That's not right." He then looked at the door that Harry was sleeping behind. He sighed and stood up. "I should get going." The two nodded and he walked out. Lucius stood up and followed behind him. He said that they were safe before he did so. Once everything was finished he sighed and shook his head. Ron just frowned and led Lucius out of the school, glad that he could now see what was going on. Draco snuggled more into Severus, he was worn out from the visit, but he was more worried about Harry. The two comforted each other, but their eyes continually darted to the door. They were worried about their pregnant mate. Hopefully everything would be fine.

A/N: Thank everyone for waiting. We're sorry this took so long. Tiger didn't get much editing done during her trip and has wanted to take a shotgun to any editing (I have almost done so). So thank you for waiting and hope that everyone enjoys.

Sorry it has taken a while to get up, I've been a little down over the last few days and have taken to doing little one shots to get me kick started on some of my fics. Duochan
