“speaky noise” thinky noise ::snakey noise::

Draco eyed the delectable body in front of him, as if trying to memorize its perfection. Harry’s wet hair dripped down onto his shoulders and from there the water was playing a dangerous game as it darted in different directions taking the blond’s attention with it. Quidditch had done the tanned teen good. Harry’s arms were nicely toned and matched perfectly with his washboard stomach. His gaze traveled back up to Harry’s face as he looked into his sparkling emerald eyes. As he stared at Harry’s luscious lips, Draco unconsciously licked his lips and wondered how they would taste after a shower. He noticed the faint blush on the otherwise perfect complexion. He was amazed that rather than mar his looks, it only made Draco hungrier for the teen.

Okay you selfish, obnoxious git; stop bleeding staring at me!

The voice that entered his mind shook Draco out of his daydream about grabbing Harry and all the wonderful things they could be doing right now, such as shagging, or shagging, or did I mention shagging? Wait a minute… no bleeding way! I can still hear you!

No, really? What gave that away Malfoy?! I did mention to stop staring though…

“Severus! I can still hear Har-Potter. You said that all of the side effects would be gone! Why is this happening?!” Draco spat out angrily. Seeing the smirk on Harry’s face, Draco also started to blush, as he realized he had been caught still lusting after the dark haired boy.

As Severus racked his brain trying to think of why the potion did not work fully, a thought dawned on him. Harry was still standing in the doorway only in a towel that was now starting to tent slightly. Clearing his throat, to stop the mutual lust-fest, Severus finally managed, “Harry with the closet in your room you do not need your own clothes. Just walk up to it and think about what you want and it will give you an outfit. As I figure continue to attempt to figure this out, I suggest you get dressed.”

Harry turned carefully, as to not let the towel reveal anymore and walked back into the room closing the door behind him. Harry walked up to the closet; his mind still reeling about Draco being there. He thought for a nice pair of jeans and a shirt. He opened the closet and there was a pair of black leather chaps and a pink ball mouth gag. Blushing madly he slammed the closet doors shut. Come on! I need to look decent, not like a slut. Let's try again. He opened the door again and this time he found a black blindfold with silver stitching that said ‘Master’s Pet’, a leather collar with a chain leading down and attached to a black leathered loincloth. Oh for Merlin’s sake!

Back in the other room Draco was sitting in one of the chairs facing the fireplace, smirking and trying to imagine what was making Harry so flustered. Severus was pacing back and forth running his hands through his slick black hair sighing periodically sighing with frustration.

“Sev, I suggest you go save Harry, before he breaks your closet.” Draco had decided to help him out, so that they could have their chat.

“Why would he- Oh buggering hell!” With that Severus quickly walked into the room to find Harry quickly shutting the closet door behind him.

“Sev! Help me please. I do not know how to work this thing and it keeps giving me, um, odd clothing choice.” As Harry tried to explain, Severus opened the door to reveal a paddle and a riding whip. Blushing feverously he slammed the door shut and whipped out his wand. Mumbling a spell under his breath while staring transfixed at the closet. After he had finished the spell he opened the door to reveal a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt.

All the while Harry was staring at him with a mix of shock and curiosity. After Severus had fixed the closet he turned to see the boy staring at him with a raised eyebrow. Sighing out of defeat he said, “Okay, but remember, you wanted to know. This room is typically used as mine and Remus’ play room because of the four post bed.” After seeing the varying emotions run across Harry’s face until it was struck with recognition he added, “Hey don’t blame me, you were the one that wanted to know.” He smirked as he left the bewildered teen to dress and make his way back out of the room.

As Severus closed the door of the bedroom he came face to face with his agitated godson. “Sev, I don’t know what you told Harry but I would rather not get pictures of you and Professor Lupin anymore. Unless you want me to ruin your beautiful carpet by losing my breakfast all over it.” he spat venomously.

“I am sorry, Draco.” Seeing him make a move towards the door he had just came out of, he moved to cover the door. “We need to talk Dray, before you and Harry do. I really need to know what is going on. I have already gotten bits and pieces from Harry and I do not wish to speculate anymore, so I would like your side. Please Draco, tell me what is going on.”

“I have nothing to say to you Sev. For Merlin’s sake, I do not even know what reality is anymore. I left here with you still hating Har-Potter, now you and him are acting all chummy and he knows more about you than I do! I didn’t know you were dating Professor Lupin. Why didn’t you tell me? Am I not trustworthy enough? Do you not love me enough to tell me everything?” He finished with a silent curse to the hormones that were making him overreact.

“Draco, let’s sit down. I want to talk to you. Harry did not know that Remus and I were dating until I messed up and told him. Remus and I wanted to wait until after the war to tell people. We didn’t want anyone to use that against us and have it be a potential pitfall to the lights victory in the war. As far as my relationship with Harry goes, things have changed. I gave him a chance and I saw a side of him that I didn’t know before. My opinion has changed of the boy. Now could you tell me what happened between you and Harry?” Leading Draco to sit in one of the chairs near his fireplace, he sat in the one across from him. Severus worriedly searched his godson’s face trying to find some answers; he refused to ever do legilimency on him out of their respect for one another.

With a heavy sigh Draco told Severus all that happened. Well, almost all of it. He left out what happened when he woke up the morning after his father had taken him home. I wanted to tell Harry first… but what if he doesn’t even want to talk to me?

“Sure I want to talk to you still. I want to find out why you were such a prat to me. Then I want to know how you really feel. After that we can perhaps discuss what you won’t tell Sev until after you talk to me.” Harry commented as Draco cursed inwardly and turned towards Harry, who was now leaning in the doorway full dressed. He was now wearing a plain dark blue t-shirt with a pair of black jeans that accentuated his well-formed body. His face was unreadable to Draco as he wondered if the other knew yet.

Severus, who had been silently observing the boys, finally decided to announce his presence in the room by clearing his throat. Both boys jumped as their attention turned to the older man. “I will be in my lab working on our ‘problem’ if you need me you will soon know where to find me.” He stood up and went to the bookshelves and knocked three times with his wand on a book called, “Magical Me” by Gilderoy Lockhart, causing both boys to smirk.

As soon as their smirks appeared they faded as the bookshelves moved to reveal an upward spiral staircase. Turning he commented, “You must remember boys, when you want something to remain a secret you have to have a cover that would make even the most talented aurors to not suspect it. No one would ever suspect that my secret potions lab would be behind a book by a man whom I had the unfortunate luck to be colleagues with a few years back, right?” He winked and turned to ascend the stairs.

As soon as he was out of sight the bookshelves went back to their original position. Harry snapped out of his gaze strode over to the once occupied chair and plopped down and locked eyes with Draco. “Now what is it that you wanted to tell me, Malfoy?”

“First off H-Potter, I do not hate you, as I assumed you are thinking.” He paused slightly. He was not expecting Harry to break out into a full grin. “I was merely worried that my father would hurt you somehow if he knew before I could explain everything. I did mean it when I said I loved you…”

“So how do you feel now then?” Harry asked his voice unreadable.

“Harry, I still love you with all my heart. I am sorry for putting you through so much pain and surprising you like that. I wanted to discuss what would happen but I didn’t get the chance. You must know that my father is not your biggest fan and he will probably not accept us. However, I want to be with you. I want us to keep it a secret though, so no one will use it against us in the war. After the war they can all sod off and we can go live somewhere far away from prying eyes in peace. That is if you still want me.” He finished hurriedly as the thought of Harry sneering at him and leaving the room played out in his mind.

“Draco, don’t be silly. I love you too and I’ll never leave you again. I’m sorry that I didn’t give you a chance to explain. I want to be with you too and if that means we have to keep it a secret for a while, that’s fine with me.. As long as I get to hold you and call you mine in my own heart; than that’s all that matters to me.”

“Harry…” Draco said as he leapt out of his chair into Harry’s outstretched arms. Lifting his head up silver met emerald and both gently closed, as their mouths collided in a sweet and innocent kiss. Harry started to nip and suck on Draco’s bottom lip requesting him to deepen the kiss. Draco compiled easily as their tongues fought for dominance. Harry let Draco take the lead as the blond repositioned himself to straddle his hips. Harry let out a low moan as Draco ground his erection into his. Thrusting his hips to match Draco’s they formed a rhythm. Harry reached down to Draco’s pants button and began to undo it.

“Wait! Stop, we can’t.” Draco nearly shouted out of surprise as he tried to pull quickly out of Harry’s embrace. Unfortunately for him, Harry was much stronger than he was and he held him tightly.

“Draco… why are you pulling away? Don’t you want this too? I thought when you said that you wanted to be with me; you also wanted to, well, do things with me too…” he whispered in his ear, the hurt evident in his voice.

“I do. I am just tired… I don’t want to do anything tonight.”

“For Merlin’s sake! You are not a girl, Draco, so don’t use that damnable excuse of you’re tired! Tell me what it is, please.” He added softly after seeing Draco nearly scream back at him.

“There is nothing Harry. Look who is being the girl now! ‘Tell me what’s wrong! Lets talk about it’ Merlin! You have balls, I know because I’ve sucked them, so use them instead molly coddling me!” His eyes never met Harry’s as he struggled to move; and now his back was to Harry. Getting frustrated he fought off the urge to start crying. Bloody hormones… I will not cry for this stupid git… I can’t possibly tell him what is wrong.

“Why would you cry? Draco love, please talk to me. I am sorry if I offended you, I am just concerned about you.”

“Merlin… one of these days I will remember not to think. Fine I might as well tell you that way you can leave me sooner.” Seeing that Harry was about to deny that, he continued, “Harry, just kiss me and I will tell you. That way I can get a goodbye kiss…”

“Draco, you are starting to scare me now, love. Fine, I’ll kiss you and then you’ll tell me, right?”

“Yes.” With that Draco turned around so that Harry could see the newly formed tears as he leaned in to kiss him. Their lips met softly at first and then Draco urged the kiss by putting more pressing into Harry with his lips. Harry kissed him back with just as much passion. Slowly, he broke the kiss and looked into Draco’s eyes.

“Now tell me what is the matter.”

“Harry… I… you… we’re pregnant.” He searched his eyes as he told him. Harry’s grip slackened and he took that opportunity to pull himself out of his embrace. Turning back he saw that his face was as white as a ghost. “I am sorry, Harry. I didn’t mean to cause you more suffering. Don’t worry I’ll leave now, and you’ll never have to think more about this. Good bye, Harry.”

Up in his potions lab, Severus shivered lightly as he continued his search. Why can I not find what is wrong with them? Some great Potions Master I am, I cannot even find a reason to explain this. The only explanation that the book offers is one for girls and that is when they are pregnant. When they are pregnant and have made a soul connection, a baby, some of their abilities may remain as an added protection. Merlin… if only Remus was here… he would know what to do, he miserably thought to himself.

Just then a pair of hands snaked around his waist and made their way down towards his waistband. “If you would kindly take your hands off of me, I would be much appreciative. I am seeing someone right now and they would not be pleased with your actions. Then again, it might be interesting to watch him prove my point.” Severus seethed while turning around to come face to face with a smirking werewolf.

“Do a lot of people hit on you while I am away love? Or are you seeing someone new? In that case I can just go.” He smirked as he pulled the Potions Master towards him and ground his erection into his hip. “Then again, I would seriously miss the great sex.” He finished by rubbing Sev’s hard cock through his jeans lightly smiling as Sev’s head dropped into his shoulder, and moaned into his neck.

“Remi, I didn’t know it was you. I am sorry love. I was just so focused on my research. I missed you.” He said while kissing the smaller man eagerly. Their hands roamed over each others body in an endless search for more contact. Just then Severus felt the wards go off. What in the- Oh no! The boys!!

“Stay away from me Potter! We have already been over this! I am trying to leave you alone!” Draco shouted as Harry once again made an attempt to stop the trembling boy from using the Floo Powder.

“No, Draco. You don’t understand!”

“Oh, I understand perfectly Potter! You want nothing to do with the baby or me. Gods, just leave me alone! Go back to Ginny like you wanted to!”

“Now that is just uncalled for Dray! I told you already, I’ll tell you again. I am in love with you! I want you Dray, only you. Now that 're going to have a baby I want nothing more than to make you mine until the day we die. I would rather die than cause any harm to you. Gods… I just…want you to stay here with me.” Harry finished with tears streaming down his face.

“I guess the wards were right, someone was trying to leave.” A silky voice broke the strained tension in the room causing both boys to look up at the intruder.

“My, my Sev. You have had your work cut out for you, haven’t you? I left a few days ago and now my godson is crying and clinging to someone I thought he hated. When were you planning on telling me all of this?” Remus commented while stepping around Severus and sitting on the loveseat. Patting the spot next to him, “Come and sit Severus. We have to straighten this out before anything else goes awry.”

Severus moved with ease and sat next to his agitated lover before beckoning his godson to do the same. Draco reluctantly sat across from Harry his eyes staring at the fire, not daring to look at the others for fear of his emotions winning.

“So, would one of you care to share what made you so upset with each other? When I last left you, you were about to jump the other and shag them senseless. In fact, let’s start at the beginning to make sure we are all on the same page.” Severus said while staring at Harry trying to get him to go first.

“Fine, I will tell you all! Harry, the stupid git, got me preggers and now hates me because I am going to get fat and he wants to go back to Ginny, the whore, who will only stay with him until his fame dissolves and his name isn’t in the papers!” Draco spat out, hormonally, while standing to leave again.

“You move another inch and I will be forced to put you in binds Draco Malfoy. I may be your godfather but do not underestimate that threat. You will not leave here until this is settled.” Severus stated calmly while locking the Floo Network. Rounding on the bewildered teen he added, “Now, Harry, would you like to comment on that? Or do one better and start from the beginning!”

With a heavy sigh Harry recited the events since they woke up from the hospital after they had just been switched. Harry continued his story past their separation, including how Severus and himself became as close as they did and what Severus had found out that fateful night. Despite the gasps of horror from his godfather, after all this is all new to Remus for he was never able to bring himself to tell anyone, he became unrelenting and finished with the latest revelation from Draco, thus bringing them to where they are now.

After giving the boy sometime to digest all of what he had spoken of Remus had to ask, “Harry, why? Why didn’t you tell me? I would have saved you! I would have taken you away from there if I had even an inkling that was happening. I love you Harry, you are like a son to me, you must know this.” Lilly… James… Sirius… I am so sorry. I failed you as Harry’s guardian… “I am just so sorry Harry…I failed you…” He finished dejectedly.

“No Remus. You didn’t fail me. I failed myself. I did try to reach out and get help but it was to the wrong person. Luckily Severus wouldn’t accept anything less than the full truth otherwise who knows what would have happened to me…” He trailed off as he shivered instinctively with fear. Gods… I didn’t even think of that. “Nevertheless, Remus, it’s not your fault.”

Remus moved from his seat next to Sev to stand in front of Harry. With a renewed conviction he grasped Harry’s hand and looked towards Severus. “Sev, please help me with this. I vow an Unbreakable Vow on this day with these witnesses Harry, I will never allow harm to come your way if I am able to prevent it in any way shape or form. I will lay down my own life to prevent this. For this I will.”

“For this is done.” Harry murmured as Snape’s wand shot out the signature red flames thus creating their Unbreakable Vow.

Severus, who had remained passive until this point, was now fighting this nagging feeling that he had missed something in Harry’s story. Something seemed off in his tale and if he could figure out that little detail he would have the answers to his earlier problem. That’s when it hit him like a ton of bricks, his heart started racing and he paled considerably. Dear Merlin! Draco is pregnant!

“Draco, did you say you were pregnant?” Severus asked with an indifferent mask on.

“Yes. I even had the bleeding test sing it to me. We are expecting.” Draco answered his eyes turned to Harry, as if daring him to leave.

“Then it all makes sense. The reason you still have lingering effects from the potion is your additional protection for your child! I do not know if the spell will continue to work all the time but it will grow stronger as the child grows. You young men, are soul mates, otherwise the pregnancy would not have kept the additional protection.” Sev finished in awe.

Draco shifted his attention from Severus to Harry and smirked, “I guess this means you really love me, huh?”

Harry smile couldn’t have been wider if he would have tried, “Yeah, I guess that means I do.” He got up and walked over to the pregnant teen and lifted Draco carefully in his arms before kissing him soundly. “I love you Draco Malfoy.”

“And I love you Harry Potter,” Draco replied happily. I wish this feeling would never end.

It won’t my love. I'll never let anything happen to you or our baby, Harry replied with determination, as his grip around his lover tightened slightly. Draco gently cupped Harry’s face in his hands, as he sealed the promise Harry made with a kiss.

A/N: If they only knew how wrong Harry was… dun dun dun!!! Thank you to all those that review! It means a lot to me!!

Love and a Peace,
