Notes: Draco Malfoy heir to one of the richest fortunes in the British Wizarding world does the unexpected; he falls in love with the wrong person. Struggling to stay true to himself he tries to forge his own path. Yes this is a bit different from my usual story…it just came to me as I was about to doze off ages ago.

Chapter 12

Draco was surprised when he emerged from his room to find his mother sitting in their parlour/library in the student apartment that he shared with Harry.

Narcissa Malfoy’s face was pinched, “Please tell me that Andromeda was joking even if such humour is beyond her.”

Draco was tempted to hide behind Blaise but his friend squeezed his hand in reassurance.

In his mother’s hands was a letter and she was clenching the parchment in her hand that showed just how upset she was.”

Blaise had spent much of his childhood around Draco and his mother so he spoke for Draco. “Whether you are referring to Draco’s relationship with Professor Severus or his unexpected pregnancy I’m afraid that both are true.”

Narcissa was tense as she folded the letter, “I see, Draconis Abraxus Malfoy have I ever made you think that you could not come to me?”

Draco hung his head, “I was afraid you would forbid me to see him, because he’s so much older.”

Narcissa sighed, “You have Veela blood, and as long as it wasn’t to a Muggleborn we would consent. In the degree of their blood status there is very little difference between Harry and Severus, only that their spouse who had Muggle blood in James’ case was a witch.” She shrugged, “In any case, what’s done cannot be undone. Thank Salazar that no contract of any kind has been signed between yourself and Harry. It was a semi-official courtship and according to the terms you ended it. Young Harry has no interest in you?”

Blaise snickered, “Besides being against ever calling him ‘uncle’ I think not, Harry was never any more interested in Draco than Drake was in him.”

Narcissa blinked, “Then why would he...Devious Morganna that boy! Tell me he hasn’t seduced Remus...”

Draco and Blaise exchanged glances before the former spoke.

“We cannot mother.”

Narcissa summoned an elf for tea and breakfast before she reached over to pick up three folded parchments. “Your schedules boys and a letter for me...from Severus. Well we shall see what he has to say for himself. Only a blind person wouldn’t have seen his attraction to wizards in school...although you would seem in appearance to be not his type.”

Draco flinched this time as he joined Blaise on the settee across from his mother.

The Malfoy elves much have anticipated this because they arrived quickly with food and teas.

Draco stared at the unusual tea that was clearly meant for him.

Narcissa sniffed, “Ginger tea, it will settle your stomach. Until the birth you will eat most meals in your rooms where you can partake of lots of foods with ginger as well as potions without being disturbed. I will see about getting that contract signed as well as picking out a nursery for you. It is too soon to be completely sure of gender but given that you are both wizards there is a higher probability that they are male. I’ll be looking on you often, likely at least once a day. If you feel tempted to tell me to leave just remember that this was your choice...”

Draco flinched, his choice? To be pregnant so young or to have persuaded Severus into having a sexual relationship with him?

Either way, her last comment was painful to hear...

Draco pouted as he nibbled at his breakfast until he’d eaten enough to be able to have his potions.

After that his mother looked up from her letter she sniffed, “Well you better head up to your room to fetch your books, as for you Blaise you’d best be heading to the dungeons to fetch your own. I’m sure that Draco will be along shortly, he’s already missed the traditional march to breakfast. We can’t have him late to class as well.”

Draco hung his head and trudged up the stairs his class schedule in hand, he was already dreading his father’s reaction...

So now he had to deal with his first year of NEWT courses while pregnant...

Pregnant...

That meant that he couldn’t attend Potions and brew soon...

How could he hope to pass his Potions NEWT without taking Severus’ class?

No Potions NEWT meant goodbye to an apprenticeship...

The only good thing to come of out this accidental pregnancy was that he might end up bonded to Severus sooner rather than later.

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

Jan - I'm sure that he will, though it seems that both boys have been essentially abandoned by their parents; their fathers by death and their mothers through selfishness. Perhaps Quidditch? After all Urquhart does canonically join the team this year. As for Lucius, if Narcissa and Sev will swear an unbreakable vow in canon why wouldn't both be equally detirmined to protect a pregnant Draco from deaingl with his irate father?
