Chapter 15

Harry was sketching, an old habit he did when he was bored and restless. Draco was at work and he had an uneasy feeling that only increased when he saw Jazzy. He dropped his swan quill and parchment. "Jazzy?"

"Young Miss Artemis be telling Jazzy to fetch you. She said it important."

Harry stood stretching, "Can't Apparate. Where are they? What's wrong?"

"Hogwarts Potions class. Lord Prince was unconscious and so was young Miss Nemia."

"Wait for them to call you again. I'll floo to Hogwarts." he was supposed to be on bed rest this close to the end of his pregnancy but this was an emergency.

Jazzy Apparated away, presumably back to Wisteria Lane where the family lived during the summer.

Harry summoned Dobby.

"Yes Master Harry Potter?"

"Go to the Ministry. Find Draco. Tell him we have a family emergency. Tell him to meet me at Hogwarts." Harry wandlessly summoned a cloak and his wand. He took the library floo because it was the closest and arrived at the Entrance Hall floo rather then his Father's office in the dungeon.

"Petrificus Totalus." came a vaguely familiar voice.

Then a whimper, 'Professor please. Don't make me do this."

"Silence Granger. Do as you're told. Take him."

Harry couldn't move he was scared. Granger? The only Granger he knew was Hermione Granger, his ex-friend. What was Granger doing kidnapping and assaulting him?

He felt gentle hands drag him into floo.

"Dause House."

There was the familiar floo sensation but the destination was strange.

"Tie him down Granger."

"I'm a Healer. This is wrong."

"Crucio."

Hermione cried out in pain.

"Will you follow orders now?"

There was a whimper.

"Undress him."

Harry struggled in vain to throw off the binding curse. He had to get away; he had to protect his daughters.

There were soft, gently hands undressing him, soon Harry was naked on a table.

"Good. Now examine him. Tell me what you see."

"A seven month pregnant wizard. Two healthy twin girls sharing a fused placenta."

"Take them out I want to see the womb."

"It's not safe. They could die."

"The womb is what matters. Forget the children. Potter is supposed to be dead anyway."

"I'm a Healer. I'm supposed to save lives."

"You're a Researcher. You don't deal in patients. Do you want me to curse you again?"

"No Professor."

"Then do as I say."

Harry was so frozen he couldn't even cry, his daughters were in danger and there was nothing he could do.

"Duermos."

Harry struggled in vain to remain conscious.

XoooooX

Dobby Apparated silently, following the blood magic bond he had to Master Draco's babies. He found one little miss tossed on a table screaming while the other was still inside Master Harry Potter. Oh! Master Draco would be so angry…he DisApparated knowing that Apparating either of the three could kill them. He found Master Draco still pacing the office where he saw him last. "Dobby found Master Harry. Dobby see little Miss is screaming. Oh…Master Harry Potter sir, he's unconscious. He's bleeding. The Healer is trying to take Master Harry Potter's babies but she has a wand to her head."

Adrian cursed, "That Bloody bastard kidnapped a healer?"

Draco grabbed Adrian. "Take us there now."

Dobby grabbed both Slytherins' arms and Apparated them to where Master Harry Potter was.

Draco stifled a scream of pure rage Harry was unconscious and bleeding. He saw his daughter screaming, but not before he recognized the woman in torn aqua robes; Granger. Then that meant; that meddling old coot! Why couldn't the Barmy old codger just die? He whispered to Dobby. "Go get my cousin Tonks. I want them arrested."

Dobby nodded and disappeared.

Draco pulled out his wand, nonverbally casting, "Expelliarmus." the arrogant bastard's wand flew into his hand, "Step away from Lord Potter-Black. " the wand in his hand warmed, sparked, Draco smirked, "Levicorpus."

The bearded old man was hoisted into the air by his skinny ankles; his robe falling over his head before Draco could see the face of the man he hated more then his father.

Adrian held his wand to the woman in Healer's robes, "What is your name and what in Slytherin's name do you think you're doing to my patient?"

Hermione Granger stammered, "He kidnapped me after graduation and put me under the Imperio Curse. He forced me to go into Experimental potions research. We've been working on a permanent male pregnancy potion. I was supposed to get married this summer.

The Front door slammed open, "'Mione? Hermione? Are you here? Oh please be alright."

Adrian nodded at the door, "Deal with that. Now do yourself a favour. Tend to the infant. Summon another house elf. The girls must receive the right bracelet." he had to try to save the other baby; he doubt Harry or Draco could stand to lose one.

Draco summoned Winky, "Go into my office, bring the silver casket. Hurry." angry with the bloody bastard for hurting Harry and to prevent the man from trying to talk he cast silencio on him.

Winky Apparated away when a wild haired Luna Lovegood entered the room.

"Hermione, you're safe. I've had Blibbering Humdingers looking for you. You've been acting strange for months. Then when you didn't attend your own wedding I started to worry. No one remembered you were Ron's fiancé. They seemed to have forgotten you existed. I swear there was an infestation of Nargles and Wrackspurts in Ottery St. Catchpole."

Draco raised his wand, "She was kidnapped?"

Hermione broke into sobs, "Ron, forgot me?"

Luna nodded, "Everyone said he was engaged to Lavender Brown and he married her. Everyone dismissed my inquiries into your whereabouts. I've never been so mad about being treated Loony. Honestly, you're as real as Thestrals."

Draco gestured to a chair for Luna, slightly feeling sorry for the sobbing witch.

Winky popped in holding a silver casket.

Draco strode towards his firstborn and clasped a white gold bracelet with the Potter crest etched into the emerald on it.

There was a flash of bright light.

Draco took a deep breath, "She is protected." for a year at least; then they would have to find other ways of protecting their daughter.

Adrian finally got the smaller baby girl out, she wasn't breathing. You weren't supposed to deliver twins on one's own. "Healer, tend to Harry. He needs to be sealed up before he loses any more blood. I have to try to get this little one to breathe."

Draco stiffened; if Harry or his baby girl died he would kill the old man himself.

Dobby Apparated in holding onto Nymphadora Tonks and an older dark-skinned Auror.

"Draco! What is the meaning of this?" Tonks snapped.

"Harry was kidnapped. We're trying to save him and my daughter. I want this bastard arrested for kidnapping, use of the Imperious Curse, attempted murder of the Potter and Black heiresses. He was participating in illegal experimentation. He dosed four wizards with an experimental potion without their knowledge. Nearly costing one a professional Quidditch career."

Adrian let out a sigh of relief when the smaller female infant cried, "Thank Merlin. Draco, claiming bracelet."

Draco walked over with the ruby bracelet that bore the Black crest and gently snapped it on his tiny baby girl's wrist. "Tell the Aurors about the dratted potion."

Adrian rocked the infant, "It creates a seemingly perfect and permanent womb in the subject's body. The first victim is Harry Potter; he was kidnapped for research purposes I suppose. When we arrived Healer Granger had a wand pointed at her head and was trying to remove the second infant on her own leaving the first baby screaming, bloody and naked. Draco disarmed the wizard and eliminated him as a threat. I needed assistance so I had Healer Granger assist me by seeing to the child. While I attempted to stop the bleeding and save the weaker twin. Once the twin was removed, Healer Granger stepped in to tend to my patient."

Tonks glared at the seated blonde, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Luna Lovegood, owner and editor of the Quibbler. I am not here on business; I am here for personal reasons. Hermione Granger is a school friend. She was Head Girl before I was. She disappeared just before her wedding. There was a Nargle and Wrackspurt outbreak in Ottery St. Catchpole. Her engagement to Ronald Weasley was forgotten, no one in town remembered her. Ron, the useless fool, married Lavender Brown instead. Obviously, I'm not that Loony, Hermione is right here. I've been using Blibbering Humdingers to search for her. When the Professor was disarmed his magic was diminished enough for my Blibbering Humdingers to find her. I watched her help save her patient. She has been acting strange since graduation. Being Imperioed or under the control of Wrackspurts would explain it. She really did like Harry, was a good friend until she fell under the cloud of twenty Wrackspurts during her fifth year. I can chase off about six but twenty is impossible."

Hermione felt ill, Ron forgot her and married someone else. Her former Headmaster, who was first person from the Wizarding World she ever met had utterly betrayed and used her. She had been told that making friends with Harry would be a good choice but she remembered being his friend when he saved her from the Cornish pixies who caught her unaware her second year. Harry must hate her…

Tonks cast a powerful manacle charm on the wizard who nearly killed her cousin's fiancé and their babies. "Albus Dumbledore, you are under arrest for suspicion of kidnapping, foetal negligence, suspicion of use of the Imperious Curse."

Draco used a Dark Spell detection charm, "He used the Cruciatus Curse as well."

"Shut up Malfoy."

"My name is Prince, in case you've forgotten that I've been so thoroughly disowned it's illegal for me to even use that name. Now Kingsley Shacklebolt. I remember you. You and John Dawlish arrested Dumbledore after the Third Task. Please don't let them release him again. He is still trying to kill my Harry." Draco was furious that he hadn't suspected Dumbledore was behind this from the start.

Adrian handed Draco his youngest daughter, "We need to get Harry to Hogwarts immediately. I need blood-replenishing potions and I only trust Professor Prince's right now. Granger give Luna the other child I need you to help me with Harry. We'll have to floo to the Hospital wing. Now, I know you will have to interview Healer Granger but for now I need her. As the fiancé of Lord Longbottom, I take responsibility for her."

Kingsley grumbled, "Fine."

The Aurors stalked off with Dumbledore in tow.

Draco reluctantly let Lovegood carry his daughter; he did need one arm to floo. He entered the Floo, "Hogwarts, Hospital Wing." he emerged cradling his tiny daughter, to find Madam Pomfrey and three other Healers surrounding a bed.

Remus sat holding Nemia in his lap, while Artemis sat with an arm around her father.

Artemis recognized Draco and saw the naked bundle in his arms. She summoned a blanket from Nemia's private rooms. She held out the blanket.

Draco nodded gratefully; "Thank you." he glanced at his godfather's mate, Remus was pale and shaking. "Remus? What's wrong?"

"It's Severus, his body is going into shock. He's rejecting the womb. Poppy is trying to save him but I could lose both of them.

Luna handed Artemis Harry's firstborn, "Transfer the child to me. It can be done. In extreme cases, a wizard's baby can be transferred to a willing witch."

Adrian noticed the confusion; he spotted Remus and cursed. He'd abandoned a patient, he called out, "Madam Pomfrey, tend to Harry. He needs Blood replenishing potions and a calming draught as soon as he rouses. Granger and I will tend to the Deputy Headmaster."

Luna strode toward Adrian, "Transfer the baby to me. I'll carry it. It's the only way to save them both."

Adrian was shocked, it was an unorthodox and much frowned upon procedure. He could lose both patients and he thought it was his only chance to do as Remus and Severus wished; he glanced at Remus, "Your decision."

Remus nodded sharply, "Save them both. Thank you, Ms. Lovegood."

Luna undressed behind a curtain and put on a hospital robe before lying in the bed beside her former Potions Professor.

Hermione and Adrian casting scrubbing charms on themselves before beginning.

Adrian raised his wand at Luna, "Endometrial preparous." first step in the delicate process was to ready the witch's body to carry a baby. He cast another that would hopeful prevent rejection before muttering, "Placentus implantare."

Severus Prince's heart rate started to increase rapidly.

Remus moved to his mate's side, "Sevy. The baby is fine. Calm down."

Adrian glanced at Remus, "I need you to hold his hand; we have to remove the womb before it poisons him."

Remus paled but nodded.

Adrian used a special charm to numb Severus' stomach, he would prefer to sedate him but given the man's physical state he worried he wouldn't wake. He wasn't even sure if the man had regained consciousness since he fainted. He wished he had realized what was happening sooner but then he couldn't have saved Harry or Harry's babies. He used his wand to cast a spell that first made an incision in Severus' abdomen and then a second through the abdominal muscle. The third incision was through to start removing the womb. A wizard's magically created womb was supposed to begin to break down as soon as the baby and the placenta were removed. It was reabsorbed into the body, like Harry's this womb showed no signs of that. The womb's tissue was highly inflamed the interior of the womb was safe but it was obvious that Severus' magic had managed to protect the baby despite the blood flow to the womb being cut off. The womb itself had been attacked by what Muggles called T-cells and neurophils. The process couldn't be reversed because they were too late. He instructed Hermione to clamp what was left of the blood vessels so he could cauterise them safely as he attempted to remove the rejected womb. Hopefully, the removal of the rejected organ would save Severus' life. If it didn't he had the oddest feeling he should run.

Remus was absolutely terrified; Severus was rejecting the womb that evil bastard had created by giving his mate that potion. He was grateful to Luna Lovegood for offering to save his miracle child's life. He hoped what Adrian was doing worked…

Adrian let out a sigh of relief when he managed to separate the rejected organ from the Deputy Headmaster's body successfully, "Evanesco." he muttered banishing it, he muttered to Granger. "Seal him up properly. I need to check on Lovegood."

Luna had watched intrigued, though she didn't really expect to have children, it was an odd sensation to go from being a virgin to about five weeks pregnant within six minutes. She knew that Professor Remus cared for Deputy Headmaster Prince very much. She could hear two whispers from beyond the veil thanking her for saving Remus' child. Luna rest a hand on her stomach, no…babies…there were twins currently inhabiting her womb. She raised unicorns at the Rookery, she knew symptoms of pregnancy and could sense number of foals before the mares dropped them. In fact, she had delivered six foals in her lifetime.

Adrian used spells to see if she was retaining the placenta without rejecting it. He was pleased to see that the placenta had attached itself to the selfless witch's womb, "Thank Merlin. I wasn't sure if it would work."

"Of course it would. If I wasn't sure that my magic would allow it I wouldn't have offered. I always did wonder what it was like to be pregnant. It will be an interesting experience." Luna was excited.

Hermione managed to stop the bleeding and reattach the sliced muscle and skin as if they hadn't been sliced. She glanced up at Remus Prince, paling. "I did my best. I apologize for my part in this. I really didn't have a choice."

Adrian pronounced Luna healthy, "I want to observe the remainder of the pregnancy. I am sure that Remus would prefer you were close by. I have to worry about my other pregnant wizards. Healer Granger, until told otherwise I want you to stay at Nemia and Luna's sides. Nemia is nearly six months pregnant and the trauma of her papa's fainting spell and rejection of his womb may have an impact on her pregnancy. She already lost the baby's father in dreadful circumstances."

Remus was not happy, "As grateful as I am for your part in saving my mate, my son and my granddaughters. I am not sure I trust you. You have been responsible for a lot of heartache."

Draco spoke up, "Dumbledore used both the Imperious and the Cruciatus Curses on her. I don't like her very much she did endanger the lives of my family but she did manage to save Harry and Uncle Sev's lives. She may be just as much of a victim as Harry and Uncle Sev."

Hermione looked at the ground, "I never wanted to hurt Harry. He was my first friend."

Remus wasn't cruel; the former Head Girl seemed so upset. He sighed, "Fine. She can stay, for now. She did help save my family's lives. As long as she faithfully cares for Luna and Nemia I'll allow it."

Hermione sagged with relief and collapsed into silent sobs of relief.

Luna pulled the shaking woman into her arms and tried to soothe her, "It's alright. You're safe now. I won't let anyone hurt you," she whispered fiercely.

Remus was exhausted; Harry was kidnapped, Severus nearly died because he started to reject a womb. He had two granddaughters, a grandson on the way and his own child that Luna Lovegood offered to carry to save its life.

Madam Pomfrey showed Draco how to prepare formula and Artemis helped him fed the girls.

There was a soft moan, "Draco?"

Draco hurried to his fiancé's side, "Harry. Thank Merlin, you're awake."

Harry felt his stomach, it was flatter then it should be. "The babies!"

Draco held out their firstborn, "Hush now, we arrived just in time. Granger and Adrian saved your life. Adrian saved the little one Artemis is holding, she didn't want to come out."

Harry whispered, "She's so little…"

Draco kissed Harry softly, "They both need names." He held out the tiny baby to Harry, "She has your eyes…" so she did, she was so beautiful with Harry's piercing emerald eyes.

Harry whispered, "Ariana Lilia…" the name just seemed so perfect.

Draco tested the name, "Ariana, I like it." it was pretty; the baby had light hair…it was hard to tell the colour but it was a reddish blonde.

Artemis handed Draco the weaker twin, "Here."

Draco accepted her, "Thank you."

Harry smiled, "She looks like a Aster Narissa."

Draco didn't comment that Lilia was a related name to Lily, Harry's mother and that Narissa was similar to Narcissa, his own mother's name. He really did like their names…

Adrian made his way to the Infirmary floo, reminding Healer Hermione Granger to look after Luna and Nemia. He was exhausted, he wasn't good with females and he would prefer she looked after them.
