-- Ok, first of all, Jicky - Are you psychic? You said H and S should behave more like their pictures. Read the first sentence!
-- To all my lovely reviewers: draco's_little_whore, Zozobozo (SS is gonna be a HUGE blimp!), catysmom, Jicky, and LilRinnieB - thank you so much! I am toying with the idea of writing in the missing sex scenes (not all of them though, cos I'd be doing it forever!). Let me know if that is something you'd like. (Jicky, I know what your answer will be!)
-- Also, after I've finished this, I am gonna do a chapter of author's notes where I answer any questions you may have (and I'll put up the original plan for this story - very odd to see what it actually turned out like!). So let me have those questions!
-- And now, on with the story!
Chapter the Twenty-First – News
Harry and Severus had celebrated their first wedding anniversary by behaving much like their painted counterparts had done. After all, March was usually a wet and windy month, and this year was no exception. The best place to spend it was in bed.
Lying quietly in bed, listening to the wind rush through the trees outside, Harry reflected on how easy a routine could be established. Less than a month ago he had spoken with his husband about where to place the picture. Now, not a day passed that he didn’t check up on its inhabitants on his way past it.
He had also become used to teaching Potions. Since the Gryffindors had tried (and failed) to show he had no control, he had found his groups much more malleable. He still had some problems with the Slytherins, but knew, from listening to the other teachers, that this was quite common. Yet, he seemed to have less trouble than some members of staff. When he had remarked upon it to his (huge) husband, Severus had merely commented, “Of course, you’re a Slytherin by marriage.” And he had waddled out of the room.
It had taken Harry a few minutes of shocked silence to digest that startling piece of news. He had tripped over the sheets and then stalked after the other man, annoyed.
Now he stood in the kitchen, glaring at his partner.
“I’m a Slytherin by marriage?” he queried. “I’m part of your House now?”
“Of course,” Severus responded, annoyingly calm, “that’s partly why you struggled with the Gryffindors; they resent you having married out of the House.”
“School was years ago!” Harry protested, “I’ve changed my name, had two kids, been engaged twice and got married since then! Can’t they let this silly House rivalry go?”
Severus merely raised an eyebrow. “What House do you want Mycroft to be in?”
“Gryffindor of course,” Harry answered without thinking.
“And Daniel?”
“Gryffindor,”
“And,” here the older man paused, a smile on his lips. He was about to drop a bombshell and was looking forward to the other’s reaction, “the triplets?”
“Gryffin – TRIPLETS?!” He yelped, staring at his partner’s swollen stomach.
“Triplets,” Severus confirmed. “Three girls.”
“Wow.” Harry stared for a few moments before saying again, “Wow.”
The Potions expert waited quietly, he had a plan to put to Harry, a crucial plan, and he wanted everything to go well.
“I wanted to ask you something, related to the girls,” he began after giving the younger man a little more time to come to terms with the shocking news.
“Hmm?”
Rolling his eyes slightly, the pregnant man gripped Harry’s arms, “Will you re-consider leaving after three years? Can’t you wait until our youngest is going to Hogwarts? By then the children will be old enough to cope with a divorce. Don’t leave after our third anniversary – the girls will be only two and a half – they’ll barely have any memories of us as a family. Will you commit to eleven years? For the children?”
Harry stared at the other’s stomach. He seemed fixated by it. Eventually he nodded.
“Thank you.” Severus said before he sat down, legs trembling. Everything had gone to plan. There was only one simple thing left – ensure Harry kept getting pregnant, then he would never leave.
-- I know, short, and off stage sex again, but this is needed to show Sev at his most devious!
-- Gonna do some work then I might write the next chapter of "Areas of Expertise". Or, I might update this if people review. *whistles innocently.* SP
