Chapter 21

Two days has passed since Draco had gotten Harry pregnant and Harry was feeling great. Conner had calmed down, which had turned out to let him get some much needed sleep. Thanks to Severus, he kept up with his course work, even though he wasn't in classes. It ended up being a day that he decided to go to class. He knew that he could officially take time off whenever he wanted, but he didn't like doing so. His specific classes for the day were over, leaving the period before dinner free. He knew that it was Severus' free period and that Draco still had a class. Humming to himself, Harry made his way towards his shared dungeon rooms.

He was still a little unsure when he left the twins with Grandpa Albus, as he wanted to be called. The headmaster had very kindly offered to baby sit the twins after his first visit. The headmaster, like Minerva, had fallen in love with the little angels. Harry was too busy with his head in the clouds that he didn't see the tall and elegant man walked around the corner in front of him. "I'm sorry," he said politely as he then looked up at the man he had bumped into.

He saw that the man was Lucius Malfoy. He just looked at him for a moment and Lucius looked back. "Don't worry Harry. I was just on my way to come and visit," he replied. Harry nodded and headed towards Severus' rooms. He had to question why Lucius was heading in the opposite direction, but he noticed that Severus' classroom door was wide open, that told him all he needed to know. He had been visiting Severus first. Walking to the room door, he held it open for Lucius. Lucius nodded in thanks and continued to walk. Harry followed behind Lucius and closed the door. He hoped that Lucius didn't know he was pregnant. He wondered if Severus had made it to the rooms yet, for that was usually the only time Severus' classroom door was wide open.

"It is nice to see you again Mr. Malfoy," Harry said, stalling for a little time, hoping that Severus would soon walk through the portrait and into their shared rooms. "If I had known you were going to stop by I would have made sure someone was here to meet with you so you would not have had to go traipsing around Hogwarts. I would have also made sure that we had some tea and sandwiches for when you arrived," he said, smiling at the older wizard. He then called a house elf and asked it to send some tea and sandwiches to the room for them.

The elves sent the tea up right away and Harry began to serve it. Severus walked right out of the bedroom, running a towel over his hair to dry it. Despite what people thought, Severus' hair was greasy, he just had a shine to it that all vampires had. It always caused it to appear greasy. He stopped when he noticed Harry pouring some tea and Lucius sitting in an armchair. "Lucius, to what do we owe this pleasure? Draco isn't out of class for a bit." He looked at Harry, who shrugged. He didn't have any idea why Lucius was there either. Neither of them were about to question though, they would just accept it.

Lucius smiled at the pair, he knew they were still a little suspicious of him, but he had decided something a few nights ago, and that was to drop his arrogant mask around those that were now family to him, and he had also included Ron in that category as well. "I had wanted to see how you were all doing, and to see if Conner has settled down now that the shielding has been put around the room. You Harry are looking a lot better than you did when I last seen you. You look like very healthy and if I dare say… radiant." He smiled openly at them.

The smile shocked Harry a bit. It only caused Severus to raise an eyebrow. "Yes, Conner has settled down quite nicely," Harry replied. He went over to Severus and took the towel, walking into the room to hang it up. Severus' hair was lying damp around his face. Shaking his head, he walked up to the couch and sat down. He knew that Lucius was trying to get at something, but he wasn't sure. Harry returned after a moment and sat next to Severus. He didn't know how to respond to what Lucius had said so well. It was his reason for leaving the room. He still couldn't answer it.

He looked at the young Fae and his friend, it seemed that he had surprised them a little with the way he was acting. "That is good to hear. I am sorry that the way I am is surprising to you, this is how I am with those that are family. There is something different about you Harry and I can't place it right now, though it screams health and vitality, more so than any other time we have met previously. For those times I would like to apologize for," he said softly as he picked up one of the cups of tea and took a small sip of the hot liquid.

Harry nodded. He didn't say anything. His nod was a symbol of apology accepted. Severus put his arm around Harry's shoulders and kissed his temple. He then looked at Lucius and watched the man for a moment. "It's just slightly shocking. Anyways, I'm sure you came for more than just talking about my children." Severus was like any vampire with their children, protective. It was sometimes amazing that he would let Dumbledore look at him. That's when they figured out that he trusted the old man almost implicitly. Lucius chuckled softly at the underlying words that Severus had not spoken.

"You are right I did not just come here about the twins, though I have to admit they are beautiful children." He smiled. "I have been trying to get in touch with Ron and he has not been answering my letter. I wanted to know if something is wrong with him. I was not able to find out while I went around the school either. I was wondering if you Harry knew if he was alright." He asked. Harry was a little startled when Lucius called Ron by his first name. Harry felt that his heart brother was attracted to the older Malfoy, but wouldn't do anything because of his family's pressure.

"He's fine. Sorry he didn't respond. Ron's been overly busy with classes. Unlike me, he doesn't have Severus standing over him doing schoolwork at every possible moment." He kissed Severus' hand and saw the door to the rooms open. Thanks to Severus, there was a silencing charm on the rooms to where they didn't hear the bell. In walked Draco. He closed the door and turned around, he hadn't seen Lucius yet. He blinked and saw Lucius. He looked shocked to see his father there. He looked at Severus and Harry. He knew that they wouldn't say anything, but it had only been two days and Draco was only just calming down and not having random panic attacks anymore.

Quickly shaking off the shock at seeing his father smiling in front of none family members, he said, smiling. "It's nice to see you father and how have you been?" He asked as he put his bag down out of the way and took off his outer robe and hung it up and the cloak stand next to the room's entrance. He then walked over to the couch and sat on Harry's other side.

Harry went and cuddled next to Draco. He did this a lot, but neither minded, as he spent time with them equally. "I have been fine. I decided to visit. How have you been doing Draco?" He watched as Harry snuggled close to Draco and nuzzled his neck. It was a Fae gesture that many werewolves had as well. He secretly smiled in his mind at what he was seeing. He knew that something was up with how Harry was towards Draco. He knew that Harry had been like that with Severus when pregnant, but he was still like that. It meant that there had to be something because of the bond.

"I have been fine father. Things are getting hectic now that the NEWT's are getting closer. I have been doing nothing but homework and assignments for what seems like years over the past few weeks," he said, smiling as he wrapped his arms around the young Fae. "I hope you have been well too father. Though may I ask why you have come to visit us today?" He asked, he knew his father would avoid visiting the school without a good reason.

"I wanted to check up on the three of you, your children and I was a little interested in what was happening with R…Mr. Weasley." Lucius has caught himself that time. It was unusual for him to do so, but he didn't want to let another slip like he had earlier. He noticed that Harry sat up a bit and whispered something in Draco's ear. It made Draco laugh and bit, but other then that, he sobered up fast. Draco then looked at Lucius and nodded. Draco was a bit nervous about the possibility of sharing the truth with Lucius. He didn't want to let it slip that Harry was pregnant, but they needed to share. Just the thought of telling Lucius was causing the beginnings of a panic attack, but Harry nuzzled him and instantly calmed down.

Lucius watched his son closely; he could see the beginnings of a panic attack, though he knew that he had not had one of those since before he went to Hogwarts. The last one was at the thought of leaving his home and going away for such a long time. To everyone else Draco had been looking forward to going to school, but really he had around four or five panic attacks each day after he had gotten his Hogwarts acceptance letter. He then saw Harry calm his young son down. He smiled inside, he knew something else was going on, but he was willing to wait a little while longer for them to say something about it, though he could a very good guess at what it was.

Severus shook his head. He was use to Draco panic attacks, despite what Lucius thought, Draco had had several during the school years, and it was usually Severus who had to deal with them. He rolled his eyes. He knew that until Draco said something, the boy would keep having them. Harry went to whispering in Draco's ear. Severus cleared his throat, causing Lucius and his two mates to look at him. "Draco, tell your father already. You'll keep having panic attacks otherwise." This caused Draco to blush. He couldn't believe that his older mate was better at seeing things than he was. He looked at Lucius and then looked down again, his face red. Lucius felt that was a little curious, as he rarely ever saw Draco blush.

"Well erm…You see…It's…," he stuttered, he did not know how to tell his father the news and panic was beginning to well up inside of him again. Harry wrapped his arms around his mate to calm him down. With a deep breath he finally said, "Harry's pregnant. He is only two days, but Severus can tell within seconds of conception whether or not someone is pregnant," Draco said as he then looked up at his father.

Lucius sat there for a moment and then nodded. "Well, I'm not that surprised." Draco blinked at that. He would have thought his father would have been quite surprised by that response. The fact that he wasn't freaked him out a bit. He shook his head. Lucius smiled. "I see how you three act around each other and I can tell that Harry's healthier than the last time I saw him. That instantly tells me that something is up. And the way you're acting, it's yours." Draco could only nod dumbly at his father's astute sense of understanding. Lucius let out a laugh and stood up, shaking his head. He went over to Draco and ruffled the boy's hair, making him yelp. He then picked up the teapot and filled his cup once again. Severus shrugged; he had expected something like that.

Harry giggled a little he had never seen the older wizard smile and laugh so much as he had today and it was a little overwhelming. He then felt the pull from one of the twins. One was beginning to fuss in the nursery. So Harry got up off the couch. "Sorry but one of the twins are stirring and I don't want them to wake the other," he said in apology and went out of the room to get the one that was starting to fuss.

Severus shook his head. He knew that Harry would rush off at the first instance with his children. He just relaxed in the couch, glad to have the whole conversation out of the way. That didn't last long as a knocking came upon Severus' door. Heaving himself up from the couch, he walked over and opened it. He saw Ron on the other side. This brought a smile to Severus' face. He ushered the boy in. "Come in Ron." He laughed to himself as Ron walked in and stopped at the sudden sight of Lucius.

Lucius smiled as he saw the red head enter the room. When the young man stopped still when he saw him he looked into the shock blue eyes. "Hello Mr. Weasley. I was asking after you, as you have not responded to the letters I have sent you over the last time we met for lunch three weeks ago. I was hoping to find you in the school, but I could not. I hope you are well," he said to the shell-shocked young wizard.

Ron nodded dumbly. He hadn't responded for his own reasoning, but he couldn't exactly share that reason. He sighed and let out a soft sound as he sighed. "Sorry sir, I've been busy with schoolwork." Lucius knew he was lying, but he was going to let the boy get away with it. Harry came back holding a little infant. For once it wasn't Conner, it was Aislin. She was hungry and had decided that the best way to get attention was to be fussy. He had silently questioned himself about the reason his children weren't with Albus, but he then remembered that Severus didn't have classes after Lunch that day. It meant that he could pick the twins up from the man. None of them left them without them for long if they could avoid it. Ron smiled at Harry and walked over to him as Harry began to feed Aislin.

"Hey little one," Ron cooed, he would like to have children of his own, but with his mother pressuring him to settle down with a witch he did not think he would. He could not stomach the thought of doing anything with a woman. "You look well Harry. Better than you have in a while," Ron said, he had not seen Harry for around a week. He needed some time to sort through his feelings about Lucius Malfoy and come to terms that he may never have someone in his life.

Harry smiled at Ron. "That's because I'm feeling fine, hell, great even. I went to class today with no problems." He laughed at the shocked expression on Ron's face. He stepped around his friend and returned to the couch, sitting between both Draco and Severus. Ron sat down on an armchair with a bit of hesitance. He sighed and looked down. He didn't know what to do entirely. Finally he looked up at his friends. Harry was humming to himself. Before Ron could say anything, Harry said it. "Well, you know, I'm surprised you haven't admitted anything Ron. I mean, it's QUITE obvious how you feel." Ron's eyes widened at that. If Harry hadn't been holding Aislin, Ron would have probably jumped Harry, since he didn't know his friend was pregnant.

"Yes it is. My senses can sense your feelings quiet clearly at times. Especially if a certain blond is in the room and I don't mean Draco," Severus teased the young red head, he thought of the young man quite highly, he had hidden his intelligence quite a bit in his younger years to help protect Harry. So that Voldemort and others that came after the young Fae always underestimated the two boys.

Ron was blushing. He hadn't said anything on being pregnant just yet. He smiled slightly and stood up, handing Aislin to Ron. He shook his head and walked up to him. He then did something nobody would think was a brilliant idea, he kissed Ron on the lips. Ron was startled as Harry pulled back and laughed. Draco and Severus stared at Harry for a moment, until they realized what Harry had done. When a Fae kissed someone on the lips that wasn't their mate, they could make them blurt out any secret when asked. Harry then touched Ron's shoulder and smiled. "How do you really feel about Lucius? Come on, we're all dying to know." Ron got a look on his face; he would have no choice but to answer.

Ron's eyes went wide, he shook his head, trying to stop the words from spilling from his mouth but it didn't work. "I am falling in love with him." When he finished speaking he leaned back in the chair keeping hold of the young child within his arms. He looked at the child in his arms, he felt embarrassed at what he had said, and he wondered if the older blond would reject him.

Harry took the little girl from Ron and smiled. "Well, that was effective." Lucius stood up and walked over to Ron, moving behind his chair and leaning over. Draco hadn't seen Lucius do such a thing before, and was a little shocked. Harry then moved back from Ron and sat down. "I know you won't jump at me anyways…Besides! You wouldn't hurt a pregnant person, would you?" He then handed Aislin to Severus and pulled Draco in front of him to keep the boy from jumping at him. He hoped it worked. There were times that Ron didn't seem completely rational. There was also the simple fact that Ron was standing up when he had said that.

Ron hid the grin that wanted to play out on his face inside. He kept his feelings locked up tight so as not to let Harry know what he was planning on doing. "Your right I wouldn't," he said as he moved over to where Harry was hiding behind his mate. Quicker than Severus or Draco though, he had pulled Harry off the couch and swung him around in the air playfully, Harry squealed in laughter. "Congratulations on the pregnancy you little shit. And next time you pull something like that I will be getting you back. Though I may still, but it will have to wait until after you've had the kid," he said as he then put Harry back down on his feet. Severus, Draco and Lucius looked at the two of them curiously.

This was a slightly confusing idea. Ron was acting nice to Harry after he pulled a stunt like that. Harry smiled. Draco raised an eyebrow at Harry nodding in agreement to what Ron was saying. "Why aren't you retaliating to what he's saying? He's threatening for getting you back," Draco reasoned. Harry shrugged. That confused Lucius all the more. Watching Harry and Ron interact, was like watching an unusual play. There was always something happening that didn't make sense unless you knew about everything that had happened before, problem was that none of the Slytherins knew how Harry and Ron's relationship worked.

Ron laughed at their confused looks. "We know each other well, very well. We know when we are playing and when we mean business, he knows I am mucking around with him, though if I do get him back, he will get me back as well. It's just the way we are," Ron tried to explain the complex relationship between the two heart brothers.

Harry nodded in agreement. He smiled slightly and let out a soft sigh. He then looked at Lucius and Ron. He walked over to Lucius, pulled the man to Ron, and then put their hands in the other. He smiled. The two of them looked at him oddly. They didn't get what he was doing. Harry then pulled out his wand and cast a spell. This perplexed them even more. The problem was the spell forced them to kiss each other. Harry sat down and put his wand away, snuggling into Draco. The two wouldn't be able to pull back until they needed air a lot more than they could kiss. They did have shocked expressions on their faces.

Ron closed his eyes as he felt Lucius' soft lips touch his own. He felt a tongue on his bottom lip, asking him to enter his mouth. He felt Lucius' tongue enter his mouth and tentatively touch the invading tongue with his own. Ron became a little bolder and they started to war with their tongues. Minutes later they pulled apart flush and breathing heavily. "That was… nice," Ron said, unsure of himself and the feelings that welled up inside of him at the passionate kiss.

Draco was trying, with little success, to not laugh. Harry took Draco hand and just held it for a moment before he set it on his stomach humming. Ron and Lucius quickly pulled back from each other after a moment and both glared at Harry. Harry gave him the cute look that was irresistible. It worked on everyone, except women, problem was, the only girl in the room was his daughter, who looked like she might end up inheriting that look from Harry. Severus felt like groaning when he saw that look.

Ron and Lucius sat down on the couch together. "You two like each other, maybe even the beginnings of falling in love?" Draco asked as they both nodded yes in answer. "You should try dating each other," he said, smiling at his father. Ron closed his eyes and shook his head, saying no. The three looked at him. "Why not?" The younger blond asked.

"Because it's not right," Ron said. This caused Harry to stand up and walk over to Ron. Ron looked up at his standing friend. He smirked, a dangerous smirk. He then lifted his hand and smacked Ron upside the head several times before he pulled his wand out and hexed Ron. The problem was that Ron was now sporting electric yellow polka dots and acid green skin. His eyes were then turned into snake eyes. Ron was unaware of what Harry did to him, though everyone else broke out laughing.

Ron was looking at the floor between his feet and not paying attention to those in the room. He could not go against his families' wishes, he hated the fact that his mother was so adamant about whom he was with. Shouldn't the motherly witch want her son to be in love with the person he was with, no matter what the sex or house? He looked up at them and saw the laughter in their eyes as he now paid attention to what was going on and heard the laughter around him. "Why are you laughing?" He was feeling sad about not being able to be with Lucius, what could they find funny about that.

Harry conjured a mirror and showed Ron what he looked like; Ron looked at the mirror for a second and screeched when he realized what he looked like. He glared at Harry and went to jump him, before he recalled that Harry was pregnant. He stopped himself and sighed sadly. He sat down again. "If I agree to one date, ONE, will you bloody well remove this?" Harry looked at him for a moment and nodded, though he wasn't really going to remove it, just make it invisible for Ron to see, but he wasn't going to tell Ron that.

Ron could feel the deception from Harry, but couldn't tell what it was from. He saw the colours fade from his skin. "You now owe me a date Ron." Lucius smiled as he took Ron's hand into his. He could see the colours still on the red heads skin, but was refraining from laughing, as he knew that would give it away. He just hoped that it would go away by the time they went out on their date. Ron nodded and looked at the older man. He just hoped his mother would not find out about it, as there would be hell to pay.

Well, another chapter up, yeah! Thank you for those of you who have stuck by this story for so long, sorry for taking an age with getting it up, more to come soon.
