Chapter 14
A New Hope
Chapter 14
By: MorningStar
Later that afternoon found Harry sitting in Severus’ study. Severus was seated behind his oversized desk scrolling away in a parchment book. Undoubtedly doing something to prepare for potions class, Harry imagined. Damien was out in the enormous yard, where he would usually play until his father called for him to come inside. Harry was seated in an oversized chair, immersed in a pregnancy book.
Harry looked over to his professor, “you know, I think I’ve learned more these past couple of months than I have in one year of being at Hogwarts.”
Snape looked up and laughed. “That doesn’t surprise me. You have much more to distract you while at school.”
“I guess you’re right,” the pregnant man said, continuing to read on.
Severus watched Harry for a moment longer, he couldn’t believe all that he had gone through. It saddened him to know that his ex’s godson had been hurt by so many ungrateful people. Severus felt as though he now understood the young Gryffindor and he wasn’t much different than himself really.
“You know, Harry, I was serious about you telling Draco this morning.”
“I know, I’m just waiting for the right moment, like I said before. I’ll tell him soon.”
Severus nodded and started to scribble in his book again. It wasn’t long before he was interrupted, however. The fireplace roared to life, turning colors as Draco stepped into the room. Harry looked up from his book and over to Severus as the young Slytherin walked in.
“Hey,” Draco looked over at Harry. “I thought I would visit. What are you reading, Harry?"
Snape closed his book and rose from his desk. “Here is your moment, Harry,” He said as he exited the room.
***
Draco took a seat next to Harry, “What’d he mean by that?”
“Oh, nothing,” Harry replied, handing Draco the book he was reading.
The blond read the cover aloud, “A to Z: Everything You Need to Know about Male Pregnancy.” He began flipping through the pages, “Interesting, maybe I should read this so I can help you more. It might help if you had someone younger to talk to anyway.”
Harry fidgeted in his seat, “actually, about that Draco…”
Placing the book on the table, Draco turned to look at Harry, waiting for him to continue.
“Well, Severus took me to see Madame Pomfrey a couple of weeks ago.”
“That’s great! What did she say?” questioned the young man.
“She said that everything is normal and that the baby and myself are doing just fine. She also said that I’m about four months along,” Harry waited, watching Draco. He was hoping that the Slyherin would put the rest of the pieces together himself.
Draco continued to watch Harry as he thought about what the other wizard had said. Four months meant that he would really start to show soon. Then, after a long few minutes, it dawned on Draco. Four months ago would have been around the end of last year at Hogwarts! Draco knew that the shock of this new revelation was apparent on his face but he couldn’t hide it. “That means that…. That...,” Draco trailed off.
Harry nodded as he brought his hand to rest on the bump that was his stomach, “Yes, Draco. It means that the baby growing inside me belongs to you.”
Draco took a deep breath to calm himself; he didn’t know what he was going to do. Well, he was going to be a father, what choice did he have? He was still in love with Harry, even if he never told the other man. He was going to be there for the dark haired man even if it wasn’t his child.
The blonde stood and pulled his lover into his arms. He didn’t know what to say, all he could do was hold him. He hoped that would be enough reassurance.
***
Severus was back in his study working on potion lessons when Draco knocked at his door. “Enter,” he called without looking up from his work. He knew that his godson would come to talk with him soon.
“Hey, Sev,” he greeted as he took a seat.
“Draco,” the potions professor nodded, closing his parchment book. “Is Harry asleep?”
“No, he’s in the bath. I suspect that he’ll be there for a little while.”
“Ahh. Well, tell me, what’s on your mind?”
“Several things,” the younger man admitted, letting his gaze fall to the floor.
Severus rose from his chair and walked around the desk. He took up his seat on the edge on it, facing his godson. He stretched his legs and crossed his ankles, “enlighten me, Draco”
The boy sighed deeply, “I’m going to be a father, Sev, What am I to do now?” He looked up at his godfather pleadingly.
“Well, I don’t know, Draco. I can’t tell you what to do, all I can tell you is what I would do. If I were in your shoes, I would be there for Harry. He doesn’t want to be alone in this, so let him know that you’re there when he needs you.”
Draco nodded as though he understood, “I love him. I mean, I really do love him.”
Now it was Severus’ turn to nod. He knew what it was like to truly love someone, to want to spend the entirety of his life with someone. “I know, Draco. Have you told him yet?”
“No. At first, when we started meeting last year, I didn’t love him. He was just… well, you know, Severus. He was there to take my mind off things. I didn’t think that I would fall in love with the boy, I just thought that he would be… experience.”
Snape thought for a moment before answering, “Draco, if you really thought that all he would be was someone to fuck, I believe that you would have been more cautious. You had to have known that you could get him pregnant, after all, you were there when I had Damien.”
Draco dropped his head again and closed his eyes, “I’m such an idiot!”
“Draco, is this what you’ve been hiding from me? That you’ve been sneaking around with Harry Potter? Did you think that you couldn’t tell me this?”
His godson nodded, looking up to him with tear filled eyes, “I didn’t want to upset you, I didn’t think you liked Potter.”
Snape put his hand on the young man’s shoulder, “Draco, it’s not Potter that I didn’t like, it was his father. I’ve told you so many times that you can tell me anything, I’m here now aren’t I?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, now calm down and go to bed. Harry’s probably waiting for you,” the older man replied and watched his godson get up and leave the room.
What was he going to do with these two? He knew that Draco would stay with Harry, that wasn’t going to be a problem. Harry would be joining the two men in the dungeons upon arrival to Hogwarts so that Severus could keep a closer eye on him. Now he just had to figure out what to do about everyone else at Hogwarts, he wouldn’t just sit back and let them taunt Potter or Draco. Severus pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, it was going to be one long year!
