Chapter 2
Rodolphus sighed. "Of course," he muttered.
Harry looked at him.
"Tom, it's for your safety, Rodolphus. If you got hurt, I don't want an angry Harry on my hands. So, by that, you're off until the birth and you recover."
"Rabastan, it's OK, brother. You can stay and help plan with our lord and Lord Harry."
Tom nodded. "That's acceptable. Now, let's eat and head to bed, shall we?"
Rodolphus huffed. "Fine."
Harry watched him pick at his food before whispering, "Rodolphus, are you not hungry".
He shook his head. "No."
"Are you nauseous?"
Rodolphus shook his head. "Yes."
Harry whispered, "Why don't you lean on me and rest?"
Rodolphus laid his head on Harry's shoulder with a sigh of relief, falling asleep from being so tired from the day.
Tom looked over to them. "Is he ok?"
Harry replied, "No, he feels nauseous again."
Severus said, "I have anti-nausea potions in my bag if he wants one now."
"That would be great, Sev," Harry said.
Severus got them out of his bag. "Here," he handed it to Harry.
"Love, wake up, Rod. I have something for you," Harry said.
Rodolphus woke up, feeling so drained. "What?" he said with a scratchy voice.
"Anti-nausea potion," Harry replied.
Rodolphus took it and downed it, feeling instant relief. "Thanks." He laid his head back down, sleeping on Harry again.
"I'll keep you stocked for him," Severus said.
"Thank you, Sev. I appreciate it," Harry replied.
When dinner was over, everyone got up to leave.
"Come on, love, wake up. Bedtime for you," Harry said.
Rodolphus grumbled, "Ok." He woke up and went to stand but felt dizzy and fell onto the Dark Lord, who was closest.
Tom grabbed him. "Rodolphus, are you ok?"
Harry got over to him, touching his forehead. "Rodolphus, what happened?"
"Dizzy," he mumbled. "I'm sorry."
"No need," Tom said. "Can you stand?"
Rodolphus shook his head, "No," vision spinning and making him sick again.
"Rodolphus, what's the matter?" Harry asked before summoning a bowl.
Rodolphus got sick in it, holding his stomach in pain.
Tom frowned, looking at Harry. "Call a healer, that's definitely not normal."
Harry summoned their healer, who came in and did a scan, making sure everything was okay. "He seems ok, just tired. Has he been sleeping and eating right?"
Harry answered, "He has been nauseous all week and tired."
The healer said, "Anti-nausea potions and rest. Make sure he eats a little bit of something, even if it's just toast or crackers."
Harry nodded, "Ok."
The healer left.
