Darn it How could I have forgotten that Andromeda needed to be in this story more? And Shacklebolt...geez me and my twisted but creative mind...

Chapter 18

The First of December dawned white; it had snowed during the night. Draco slipped into his bed in Prince Manor and wrapped his arms around Harry. "Morning."

Harry yawned, "If it weren't for Winky and Dobby I would be exhausted from taking care of our daughters on my own."

Draco had been teaching Uncle Severus' potions classes since his daughters were born and sadly was missing the first month of their life. He had a duty to his godfather who was recovering from an unplanned pregnancy and womb rejection from Dumbledore's potion. "I know. Just a few more weeks and it will be winter break. I'll be all yours." He brought Harry's engagement ring to his lips and kissed it, "I am ashamed that we weren't legally Bonded before our daughters were born."

"No matter, I looked into it. The consort of the House of Black doesn't need to be a legal Bondmate for their offspring to inherit."

"What about Potter?"

"Who cares? There hasn't been an official Lord Potter since my grandfather Charlus Potter who married Dorea Black so it doesn't matter."

A sharp cry came from next door, Dobby toddled in with little Aster and a bottle, "Would Master Draco like to fed the little miss?"

Draco sat up and held out his arms, cradling the littlest twin and holding the bottle to her lips. "Still too tiny to drink half a bottle yet right?"

Harry nodded, "She hasn't even managed a third yet." They had been taken too soon; if Dobby hadn't found them so quickly then Aster might never have made it. It took two healers to save both his and Aster's life. Ariana was the strong stubborn twin, she'd grow up to be very much like Artemis he was sure of it despite not being blood-related.

Harry rest his head on Draco's shoulder watching as he fed their daughter, "They both have your hair."

"But they have your striking eyes."

Harry chuckled, "You and you're obsession with my eyes, seriously."

"They're Slytherin Green of course I love them. Besides, you know my House is second only to you and our family." Draco smirked as he patted Aster's tiny back gently to burp her. "We should be planning our Bonding soon, I don't want to go more then a couple months outside a Legal Bonding now that our daughters are born.

Another cry was heard, Harry held out his arms for Aster, "I assume you want to feed Ariana as well?"

Draco nodded, reluctantly giving up the angel who stole his heart for his princess, "I see them so little. I hope Uncle Severus get better soon."

Harry was worried about Dad; Remus had been through so much finding out his son and his youngest daughter were both having babies the same day. Then his papa was giving the male pregnancy potion and the rejection of the womb nearly killed him and his baby brothers. Now a former schoolmate was carrying his papa's babies, he had heard papa and dad talking about wanting a family when he was little a big family. At first he was worried that the only parents he remembered would love their blood children more but they assured him that they loved him very much. They never treated him any different from Artemis and Nemia; they were loved just the same. "I'm sure papa will be fine, he has Dad and 'Mione looking after him."

Draco wasn't sure he trusted Granger; she betrayed Harry's trust during the tournament having apparently only been his friend because Dumbledore paid her. Now she was part of the research that resulted in his 'rape' of his fiancé and the unexpected pregnancy that nearly ended Harry's Professional Quidditch career. Adrian had arranged for her release pending trial; she was to over see Nemia and Luna's pregnancies. Granger was forbidden to engage in any sort of medical research in the meantime and all the research had been seized. He held Ariana gently, "I just hope she's worth a second chance Harry. I don't want her to hurt you again. You've already been through so much. Your Quidditch career was almost ruined. The shock of finding out about the girls. My poor reaction. Being assaulted and kidnapped." Having their children cruelly ripped from his lover's body, "Finding out that Granger and Dumbledore were ultimately responsible for your anguish these last few months."

"I never regretted having our girls, I…only regretted the timing. I loved them; I just was scared because I wasn't ready for it. We hadn't even discussed when we would be ready for children." Harry said quietly as he held Aster's tiny body gently.

"An oversight, I had been thinking about what our children would be like since your sixth year." Draco smiled, "since that womb of yours doesn't seem to be going anywhere we'll have to be very careful. I'm not sure we're ready for you to get pregnant too quickly after Aster and Ariana. Especially since it seems that you're more fertile then more wizards, we might have a large family ourselves."

"I'd like to wait at least a year, I want to fly for Puddlemere at least one season. Next time I'd like boys." Harry blushed.

Draco chuckled as Ariana blew a spit bubble, "Whatever you want love. Boys sound lovely but we have an Angel and a Princess so we're off to a good start."

"Yes." Harry learned up to kiss his lover.

Draco wrapped an arm around Harry's waist so they could all cuddle, their first Christmas would be soon. "Adrian is Bonding at New Year's and Colin at Christmas, when do you want to Bond?"

Harry said quietly, "Can we do without the big ceremony and just file the paperwork? It seems so silly to have a huge Bonding when we're already parents."

Draco's heart twisted, before Harry found out he was pregnant he was planning his 'fairytale Bonding'. He had wanted everything to be perfect, now that dream seemed to be crushed. "I thought you wanted to have the Bonding you always dreamed of. Don't do anything rash, please I wanted to start things between us properly. The Bonding of Lord Potter-Black has to have at least some fanfare, it's custom even if you are bonding to someone with nothing."

"Not that again, I told you I never cared about your Vaults, your title or your name. All I cared about was Draco, my best friend from childhood. Draco, the Slytherin who dared to publicly befriend the outcast of Gryffindor. Who romanced me and helped me to forget the pain of having 'Mione and Ron abandon me and turn my own House against me." Harry said eyes flashing, "You protected me from everyone, you took me to the Dungeons and gave me a place to feel safe. You shared your House with me, Draco, you made me remember all the fun times we had growing up before Hogwarts."

Draco smiled, "I'm sure there will be more enjoyable times to come. Breakfast? I think the girls can nap in their bassinets if Dobby will make sure they are in the dinning room."

"Or course, it really is too bad that your father refuses to have anything to do with you. I would have though that he would want to get to know his grand children." Harry said sadly as he looked at the tiny beautiful little girl that Draco called angel.

"Honestly? They wouldn't be missing much, father isn't much of a parent and I'd prefer he wasn't a part of our daughters' lives. That way he can't betray them."

Harry felt sorry for his lover; he could hear the pain in Draco's voice. Draco didn't like to show that being disowned really affected him but he knew better.

XoooooX

Neville still wasn't used to staying at Longbottom Hall all day despite it being the second month or was it third? He couldn't remember, "Rika?"

"Yes Master?" the tiny house elf Apparated beside his chair.

"Pumpkin juice."

"Of course Master."

Neville was missing Adrian; his lover was at Marcheness seeing to Colin's bi-weekly check-up. He glanced down at his swollen stomach that contained their sons, he smiled at the ring on his finger that marked him as Adrian's intended that rested on his stomach. They kicked, he laughed, "Missing Daddy too? Don't worry, he'll be home soon." Despite Dumbledore's incarceration Adrian was extremely protective, he was allowed two places Longbottom Hall and Marcheness. His healer fiancé had yet to find a 'competent healer' to entrust him to, Hermione Granger a former housemate was still on probation and was seeing to Luna and Nemia. He hoped Dumbledore stayed imprisoned this time, the last thing he wanted was to be kidnapped and assaulted putting his babies at risk. He knew that Adrian's protectiveness was only natural…

He was looking forward to their Bonding, the official recognition of the reality that Adrian, himself and their soon to be born boys were a family.

He winced, with Dumbledore in custody arrested by his godmother's daughter and another Auror his godparents probably heard about his pregnancy from others.

Merlin, he was going to be in so much trouble.

Especially with how much his godmother's Bondmate had helped him in regards to his career. He hadn't even had the foresight to tell them that he was temporarily- he hoped, resigning from St. Mungos.

He sighed as he made his way to the library floo; he tossed in the powder, "Lavender Vale." Hoping that that the floo would be open so that someone was home.

To his joy and surprise the floo connected.

He called out shakily, "Aunt Annie?"

"Who is it?" came the very familiar harsh tones of his godmother.

"It's Neville."

"Well don't just shake in your shoes. Pull yourself together and come through."

Neville swallowed, "I sort of promised not to leave the Hall."

"You're at the Hall? Since when? I knew you'd resigned from St. Mungos. Which by the way Neville I am quite disappointed you didn't tell Ted or myself first."

"Aunt Annie, I hate to be rude but I can't exactly kneel fireside and it would be unfair to request it of you. Perhaps, we can compromise. Can you step through? You're welcome to lecture me all you want. Merlin knows I deserve it."

"Neville Alan Longbottom! What have Ted and I told you about making self-deprecating comments about yourself?"

"Not to make them?" Neville replied meekly.

"Then why are you? How can you expect for patients to take you seriously if you don't even have a good opinion of yourself?"

"Please Aunt Annie I don't want to fight. We do need to talk. Can you please step through?"

"Oh alright. That doesn't mean you're off the hook young man. I don't care if you're the youngest certified Mind Healer! I can still turn you over my knee."

"I'm sure you could." Neville wondered if she still threatened to spank Dora, knowing his godmother she probably did.

It took ten minutes before Healer Andromeda Tonks stepped through the floo.

She took one look at him, her eyes narrowed and she snapped, "Since when did you have a lover and fail to tell me? You're pregnant? Is that why you quit St. Mungos? How far along are you?"

Neville wilted, the questions felt like arrows.

Andromeda wasn't always so snappish, just when she was annoyed. Or at least disappointed.

Neville swallowed, "Did Dora mention her recent arrest?"

"Don't change the subject young man!"

"I'm not Aunt Annie. Promise. Did she mention arresting Dumbledore?"

"What did that useless man do now? I didn't like him much when Sirius spilled the nudging he got from that arrogant bastard. I liked him even less when I heard he wanted to subvert James, Lily and Sirius' will. He really made me angry when I heard what he did to Harry during the Tournament."

"He imperioed Granger and forced her to create a male pregnancy potion that created seemingly permanent wombs. She dosed four persons without their knowledge. The first was Harry, the only Halfblood subject to be engaged to a pureblood. Then he must have dosed me because I'm the farthest along after Harry. I was his pureblood test subject," he felt almost ill at the thought.

"Who is the father?" Andromeda had calmed down a little and was less abrasive.

"Adrian?"

"Adrian Pucey? The Genius Healer I shepherded through the program?"

Neville blushed, "He's really good to me. He figured out I was the third test subject though I was dosed second. I'd gained a lot of weight quickly."

Andromeda muttered about his eating habits.

Neville sighed, "I know. Adrian makes sure I eat. We haven't known about my pregnancy long. I planned to tell you sooner. Then everything seemed like a blown up cauldron. We worried about Harry he was getting close to the seventh month mark. Then Professor Severus Prince collapsed."

"I was part of his healer team. I warned him extensively that he wasn't healthy enough to have a child. He took that potion against healer's advice. He didn't tell Remus he'd done it until after he collapsed. Please tell me he didn't do it again."

Neville shook his head sadly, "No, he didn't. Dumbledore had him dosed. He went into shock because he was rejecting the womb. Before they could discover that Draco turned up and said Harry was missing. His sister had sent a house elf to tell him about their papa. Harry sent his own house elf after Draco. Granger and Dumbledore kidnapped Harry, then Granger removed the first child. Dumbledore refused to let her tend the child. It was left naked, screaming and covered in birth fluids. Adrian had Draco send his personal elf to find them. They rescued the child, tended to it, summoned Aurors- one being Dora, but the youngest twin was still inside Harry. By the time Adrian removed it, it wasn't breathing. He had to leave Harry to Granger while he tried to get the little one to breath."

Andromeda grumbled, "Why didn't they call me? I would have come!"

Neville winced, "They took advantage of Granger because she was already there and they were running out of time. Harry was bleeding, almost haemorrhaging because he wasn't being taken care of properly. Even I know there are supposed to be at least two healers during a delivery; especially if it's a wizard bearer. The first twin was lying naked, still covered in amniotic fluid and blood on a dusty, dirty table. When Dobby, Draco and Adrian arrived they had to eliminate Dumbledore as a threat, send for Aurors, tend to the first infant, attempt to ensure the second twin lived and save Harry from bleeding to death."

"I see. That's different. I would be very angry if I was passed over on purpose. I am still disappointed in you. I'm your godmother, in absence of your grandmother and parents I'm the closest thing to grandparents your kids have."

Neville swallowed, "Aunt Annie…we both know that Adrian can't be my birth healer nor can he be my regular healer. I know that you delivered Professor Prince's children. I was hoping, you'd overlook," he meant forgiven, "my silence and tardiness in informing you. I was distracted. The pregnancy was sudden, unplanned. We moved here, I resigned from St. Mungos. I am grateful for everything you have done for me. If you and Uncle Ted didn't arrange for students like us to 'study ahead' I would never have met Adrian so soon." If ever and he would be living in his apartment, lonely and forgetting to take care of himself.

Andromeda pinned him with a penetrating stare, "Of course I will. Would I deny my rights to be your children's grandmother? Accident or not, I wish Nymphadora would give me grandbabies. Unfortunately, she's too busy saving the world and being a nymphet!" she pulled out her wand, smirking, "Oh I do hope that you haven't told Rufus yet. He'll be very much annoyed that I learned first."

A few spells later and both Neville and Andromeda had pictures of the babies.

Andromeda grinned, "Two healthy boys, I envy you. I can't wait to brag. Nymphadora will be informed that it doesn't get her out of having grandchildren for me."

Neville almost felt sorry for the older girl, Nymphadora was quite a bit older then he was.

His godmother's only child had been sorted into Hufflepuff and had been about six years ahead of him. She was in her Seventh year when he and Draco started.

"Now you take care of yourself. Eat small but often. You're too thin! Any morning sickness?"

Not now. I was a bit queasy before I knew but it passed. I'm more interesting in the joy of feeling them move." There was a slight ripple under his skin.

Neville grabbed her hand and placed it on his stomach, "Feel that?"

A broad grin crossed the former Slytherin's face, "Yes. I forgot how magical it was. To feel that bit of pressure and know that it means there is a baby inside."

Andromeda rose pocketing her copies of the photos of the baby in the womb.

"Thank Aunt Annie."

"No thank you. I'm happy to be a grandmother." Andromeda said before steeping into the floo.

XoooooX

Adrian had finished his exam of Colin and was walking back to the Marcheness Library to floo home.

"Why are you so concerned with Colin's pregnancy? I thought he was doing alright?" honestly, Seamus was worried. Bea was not happy he was polluting the O'Shanesey name with his Muggle-born lover but her opinion didn't matter. He had more important things to do like hounding the Ministry to bring Dumbledore to trial for illegal potions testing and the rape of his lover. Colin's injuries this past summer made his pregnancy though miraculous but also quite dangerous.

"Professor Severus Snape was dosed with the potion following our request for him to research its properties. He conceived."

"That's wonderful isn't it? Harry and his sisters with have a larger family…"

Adrian shook his head, "You don't understand he can't carry a child to term. His body was traumatized too much during his developing years; neither his body nor his magic can handle the stress of a pregnancy. The day Harry was kidnapped Severus was brought to me because he'd fainted as part of his body's rejection of the womb. I didn't realize he was rejecting because during my exam we discovered Harry'd been kidnapped. By the time Draco and I recovered Harry and the twins Severus' condition had worsened. If the babies and the womb weren't removed he would have died."

"Professor Prince is alright isn't he?" Seamus asked the sinking feeling of dread already twisting in his gut.

"Thanks to Luna Lovegood's offer to carry professors Prince's children to term. She insists she's carrying twin boys. I can't verify that just yet, he was barely three weeks."

"Professor Severus almost died…can that happen to Colin?"

"I don't know. I'm hoping not."

Seamus asked, "If his body rejected the pregnancy what change do our children have?"

Adrian pinched his nose, "I didn't tell him but I know the gender of the twins. I haven't said anything just yet because I am still worried that he could lose them."

If Colin lost their babies it would destroy him, "What are we expecting?"

"A boy and a girl; the girl is very weak. She might not survive; your son has a better chance. In troubled pregnancies involving multiple births the weaker twin often expires to give the stronger twin a better chance of surviving to delivery." Adrian couldn't look Seamus in the face; he was expecting his own sons and hearing something like this would devastate him.

"Could I…carry our children if it got too dangerous?" Seamus had to know…

"No, a wizard cannot complete another's pregnancy. You need an established womb, a stable one. On rare occasion and only in greatest need can a witch carry dispermal embryos." Adrian said shaking his head.

Then Seamus had two choices, Harry who had recently had a traumatic birth or Artemis, his sister and the twin of the girl carrying Colin's nephew. "We can't lose our babies…" would either be willing to give his children a second chance if Colin rejected the womb? Rejection could be fatal, he remembered a cousin of his Muggle father receiving a liver transplant and rejecting it within a year. The woman died in hours…

"The only thing we can do is hope for the best, don't let him get stressed and make sure he stays in bed. Also make sure he eats, he has to put on weight because of the babies as long as he doesn't stand it can't over tax his delicate spine." Once again Adrian was restraining himself from breaking his oath as a healer and causing injury to that bloody embarrassment to all bent wizards, Albus Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.

"I'll take good care of him…"

Adrian stepped into the floo, "I know you will."

Seamus clenched his fist, it wasn't fair…he loved their babies and he would protect Colin from anything but he couldn't carry their babies for him. Merlin, why did this have to be so dangerous for his beloved?

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Troll?

A/N- I decided to stop confusing everyone- including myself. Harry's soon-to-be sisters are only three years behind him. Which fits best because when he is a Fourth Year and Draco is in Fifth, the girls are eleven. Sorry for the confusion.

To anyone reading as of August 5, 2012 Bound to you's rewrite is currently still in progress and up to chapter 17 are edited. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for Reading!
