Chapter 15

Two weeks after Nemia was given Colin and Dennis' mother's engagement and wedding rings Severus collapsed during the fifth year Slytherin and Gryffindor class.

Nemia screamed and fainted, leaving her sister Artemis with barely enough time to catch her. Artemis slid with her sister to the ground, "Graham, get Nurse Pomfrey. Jack, go get Professor Remus." Artemis was the strong one, but she was terrified. What was wrong with papa? She called for a Prince house elf "Jazzy."

The house elf Apparated into the Potions classroom, "Yes, my lady."

"Go to my brother. Tell him we need him."

The House elf DisApparated.

Remus stormed in six minutes later, it was close to the full moon. He fell to his knees beside his mate, "Sev…"

Severus didn't move.

Nurse Pomfrey was three minutes behind him. She cast several spells to figure out what was wrong. She looked up at Remus accusingly, "You gave him that bloody potion again. What were you thinking? Are you trying to kill him?"

Remus was dumbfounded, and then it sunk in. The bastard who dosed his son, had dosed his mate. Remus scooped Severus in his arms, "Take care of Nemia. I have to see Adrian." he hurried to Severus' office tossed in floo powder and climbed in, "St. Mungos." he stormed into the hospital and made his way to Adrian's office barging in.

"Adrian. It's an emergency. The bastard got to Severus."

Adrian excused himself and led Remus to nearby room, "Lay him down." he glanced up after a few spells, "He mention he wanted more kids but couldn't have them why?"

"Sev has never been very healthy. He has severe anaemia and coupled with his childhood abuse, his body can't handle the stress of a pregnancy. He didn't tell me any of this when he took the pregnancy potion before. I didn't learn until he fainted and I took him here. He was five months pregnant. They removed the girls the second they were viable; Severus insisted they have a chance, even if it killed him he wanted our girls to live. I made him swear never to use the potion again." Remus collapsed in a chair defeated, "We haven't left school except for Nemia's appointment with you and our dinner with Seamus and Colin. He had to have been dosed at school."

Adrian cursed, "That bastard did this because I asked him to look into the potion." he did a more through look at his former Head of House. "The womb integrated into his body. These pregnancies are different then normal male pregnancies. The womb isn't seeming temporary…"

Remus held Severus close to his chest; "I know he'll insist on keeping this baby; just like this girls, even if it will kill him. I can't lose him. I love him."

Adrian nodded, "I see, so he wouldn't have willing taken this potion?"

Remus shook his head, "I made him swear. I almost lost him once…I didn't want to chance it. After they took the babies, he was so weak it took him four months to recover from the pregnancy."

Adrian nodded, "Colin is still weak and recovering from the train accident. He is underweight but the accident nearly severed his spine. We can't heal nerve damage."

Remus asked quietly, "He had to take a leave of absence last time. Pregnancy and brewing don't mix; too many dangerous ingredients. He'll have to do that again right? Bed rest?"

Adrian nodded slowly, "You sure he won't let me try to terminate the pregnancy?"

Remus shook his head, "Accident or cruel joke he won't care. He will say they have a right to live and be loved. How someone who grew up like he did can have so much love, I don't know. It's sad that many students are afraid of him."

Adrian smiled, "He is very different when he is with his kids. I saw him with Nemia and he was different then I remembered."

"Sirius realized that too. None of them really liked Severus at first. Then they realized that being my friend and truly accepting what I was meant accepting the person I chose for a mate. I miss them. Severus is the only one left that shared most of the best and worst memories of my life." he whispered in Severus' ear, "Don't leave me. We still need you. I need you."

"Take him home. Keep him in bed. You can send a house elf if you need me. I'll visit him in three days. You will have to take over his Deputy Headmaster duties and find someone to take over his teaching and Head of House duties.' Adrian was furious; this mystery Potioneer was a monster. He dosed people who were not ready or physically healthy enough to bear children. Talk about cruel and unusual, he wanted to curse this person with in an inch of their life. They couldn't be a healer could they? No healer in their right mind would chance making an unhealthy person pregnant.

Draco barged in, "Is Harry here?"

Remus blinked, "No, why?"

"He sent Dobby to get me at the Ministry. He said there was a family emergency. Artemis hasn't seen him."

Remus paled.

Adrian hissed, "That bloody bastard. Harry is seven months pregnant tomorrow. He probably wants to see how well his experiment is working."

Draco cursed, "Slytherin's bollocks! I promised Harry he'd be safe."

Adrian closed his eyes, how to find Harry before it was too late. He smirked, "You have a Malfoy house elf in your service?"

Draco nodded confused.

"You do realize that a house elf that swears it's loyalty to a family can track and find members that are at least third cousins to the bloodline?"

Draco's eyes widened, "Of course." he snapped, "Dobby?"

Dobby Apparated into the exam room, "Yes Master Draco."

"Find my daughters. If you can't bring Harry back on your own, return at once and take me to him." Draco ordered.

"Find Master Draco's girls. Find Master Harry Potter. Dobby good elf." there was a pop as Dobby DisApparated.

Draco knelt beside Remus "What happened to Uncle Sev?"

Remus growled, "That bloody Potioneer dosed him. If I find out who that right nasty git is I'll tear him limb from limb. His first pregnancy nearly killed him remember? But he wanted it so much that I let him. I was told when the girls were born if I loved him then I would never let him take that potion again."

Draco whispered, "Oh no. Not Sev too. I saw how weak and tiny Colin is and he shouldn't be pregnant either."

Adrian stood, "Take Severus straight home. I'll stay with Draco. If Harry is in danger from this person I may have to deliver the girls immediately. Ask Pomfrey to ready the infirmary. It maybe easier to go straight there."

Remus stood cradling his husband, "Bring my son back."

Draco nodded, "I will."

Remus slipped out.

Draco paced. "I shouldn't have gone to work today. I should have taken time off. Especially with Harry so close to having the babies."

"You have me. Between the two of us." Adrian summoned one of Neville's house elves.

"Rika here Master Adrian."

"Tell Nev that he is to stay inside Longbottom Hall. Tighten the wards. Please don't let anyone into the Hall but me and only if I call for you. Harry's missing. We think that Potioneer is responsible."

Rika nodded, "Rika tell Lord Neville. Be safe Master Adrian. Lord Neville won't want you hurt."

"Then go directly to Seamus and tell him to lock down Marcheness. Draco or I will send news through you or Dobby."

Rika's big eyes widened, "Oh! Yes Master." Apparating away.
