*~*~*~*~*~*~Enjoy*~*~*~*~*~*~

After several weeks Christmas rolled around where Draco, Ron, Hermione, Pansy, and Harry were on their way back to the LeStrange manor. Lucius could sense a difference in Harry and it made him very uneasy. Harry's face was set in a grim expression as he made his way up the walk to the huge oaken doors. He heard Hermione oohing and ahhing over the exterior and even heard Pansy giggle at something Ron must have said. The muscle in Harry's jaw twitched, but he said nothing. Once in the house Bella walked over her stomach was the size of a large Quaffle. She had on a silky black dress as she had her hair pulled into a pretty bun. She smiled and walked over.

"Oh Harry..." she wrapped her arms around his neck tight.

Harry steeled himself for the revulsion he expected to feel, but the affection hit him like a punch in the stomach. His breath left him and he found himself wrapping his arms around her automatically, squeezing her to him carefully as her belly bulged between them. Bella smiled then gently turned her head and claimed her lips gently. God she missed this man who had given her the best gift of all. She wanted to give him everything because of his gift to her. Harry fought with himself, but in the end decided to go with it. If she was a whore, why couldn't he enjoy her too? He slid his hands over her thighs and took her lips roughly, trying to cover the tenderness he could not hide. Bella purred deeply slowly breaking the kiss.

"Come on lets go upstairs. I want to show you the room." Harry swallowed, but nodded, following docilely.

Bella leads him up the stairs to their bedroom and to an added door. She opened the door showing an empty room. The walls were a simple white but there was a huge window bringing in a lot of light.

"What do you think?" Harry nodded, not really looking.

"It's nice." He said quietly.

Back in the entry hall, Lucius' eyes followed the path the couple had taken.

"Something is wrong." Hermione nods.

"Harry has avoided me like the plague. And i noticed that whenever one of us mentioned Bella he would start to sneer." Lucius turned to her with surprise.

"And you felt it pertinent not to inform anyone of this fact before now?" He looks back up the stairs.

"He could be under Imperius." Ron jumped in, defending his friend.

"He's gotten through that before." He blushed as he spoke, wishing he'd remembered *that* little tidbit at the beginning of this debacle.

Lucius turned to Ron and sneered in incredulity.

"I beg your pardon? Gotten through?" Hermione sighs.

"When we were 14 Harry was able to break the Imperius curse. But hes... acting like he doesnt love Bella... what is wrong with him?" Inside the room Bella looked at him then crossed her arms over her stomach.

"Alright Harry... what's wrong?" Harry shakes his head as he comes back to the present.

He's found himself wandering in this thoughts a lot more than usual lately.

"I'm sorry, what?" Bella looks at him then sighs softly.

"What is wrong Harry? Your not acting like yourself."

"I'm fine." He says, taking a pre-emptive step back in case she tries to touch him.

"Er, the room looks nice. Bright. Good for babies." Bella looks at him as she could feel him pulling away.

She moves fast for a pregnant woman pinning him to the wall.

"Why do you pull away from me? Before you went off to school you got the shakes if you couldnt touch me every 10 minutes. Now you havent even asked if we could be intimate while im like this? So i ask what in the hell is wrong with you?" Bella was angry at this feeling she got from Harry.

Harry stares into her eyes and tries desperately to convince himself that he feels nothing. That the tiny kernel of doubt and desire curling in the pit of his stomach does not exist. When he tries to examine it, his mind becomes fuzzy and he blinks his eyes as a wave of dizzyness sweeps over him. Bella looks at his eyes as she catches him in case he falls.

"Just rest Harry." Bella picks him up and carrying him to their bed laying him down.

"I'll get someone to help you." Bella said petting his hair then walking out of the room.

Harry has the vague idea that a pregnant woman shouldn't be carrying such weight before he loses consiousness. An hour or so passes before Bella comes back with Voldemort. He had been informed of Harry's peculiarities and he was here to see for himself. Harry blinks slowly into semi-consciousness. At the sight of Voldemort, he tries desperately to get his mind to work and tell him why the hell the Dark bloody Lord is standing over him and looking, of all things, concerned. He pulls his wand from it's sheath at his hip, but his head is too muddled to produce a spell. Bella quickly takes the wand out of his hand and puts it into her dress.

"Harry... whats wrong you look so confused and muddled. Are you alright?" Voldemort meerly looked into the eyes of the man he knew had stolen the heart of his fair Bella.

Harry blinked hard, but the more he fought to understand, the more chaotic his head became until he felt as though he had no thoughts at all, only spinning whirling blurs of color and feeling. Voldemort looked at him then waved his hand over Harry's face slowly making Harry slip into a deep sleep.

"Bella i want you to go to Severus and tell him to bring the potion i told him to make." Bella slowly nods and walks off very much worried about her young lover.

Ron frowns when Bella comes down the stairs alone.

"Hey, where's Harry?"

"He's asleep upstairs. Its like his mind is moving through mud." Bella's face turns to almost devastated.

"Does he not love me anymore? He certainly didnt act like it." Ron's eyes widen.

"Er. I mean...I uh. Of course he does! I mean...he- he's been acting a bit barmy the last few days...I'm sure it's just...er. Whatever's wrong with him...or...yeah." Pansy looks at him shaking her head.

"Of course he loves you Bella. Just give him time." Bella slowly nods and rubs her stomach as she walks to Severus labs.

Severus glances up as Bella enters. He finishes his shredding and quickly puts his supplies away, washing his hands. As he dries them on a pristine white towel, he turns to Bella with one brow raised.

"You aren't due for another checkup until next week." Bella bites her lip.

"Um i was told to get the potion that Voldemort asked you to brew. I think hes going to give it to Harry." Bella unconsiously rubbed her stomach.

Severus' other brow raises and he shows a brief display of surprise before turning and opening a cabinet near the floor. He removes a small fist-sized box and sets it on his workbench. He taps the box with his wand and it disappears, reavealing a tiny tripod holding an even tinier bubbling cauldron over a miniscule white fire. He prods the fire out with his wand and carefully removes the cauldron, which seems to be cool to the touch. Or at least it isn't burning. He retrieves a small vial and carefully pours the contents of the toy-like cauldron in it, corking it and handing it to Bella.

"Mind you're careful. Too much activity could curdle it." Bella nods and gently takes it and brings it up to her bedroom where Voldemort was sitting on the bed looking at Harry as he slept.

"Here you go." She said handing him the vial.

Voldemort gently poured the liquid down Harry's throat making him swallow.

"Alright Bella. This will clear up his mind and allow him to think clearly. Now lets see what the boy has to say." Voldemort waves his hand over Harry's face gently waking him up.

Harry immediately begins to sputter, his gut lurching as the dizzyness in his mind suddenly stops. He leans upward, his face white, before bending forward and abruptly losing the meagre contents of his stomach onto the floor. Bella gasped then quickly cleaned it then sat next to him wiping his mouth.

"Harry? Are you alright?" Harry took deep cleansing breaths for several moments before answering.

"I...thing so. Give me a moment." He casts a wandless cleansing spell on his mouth almost without thought as his memories come back to him, perfectly clearly now.

Bella gently ran her fingers through his hair as she kissed his temple.

"Just breath love." The memories are a flood of clear, but quick snapshots before they all settle into place and he gets a perfect picture of what happened to him.

Harry sits up straight, his face betraying nothing, but arc of magic jumping over his hands and between his lips. The air in the room tastes metallic; charged with sheer force of Harry's power. His rage swirls around him like a wind, pulling away all fear and replacing it with utter determination. He will kill Albus Dumbledore. Bella gasps as the force of his magic throws her back hitting the wall as Voldemort holds his ground. Bella hit the wall then slid to the ground slightly. Her head was slightly throbbing but she felt fine. Harry begins to lose himself in his power, his eyes rolling back in his head and his nails digging crescent-shaped wounds into his palms. He hears nothing over the roar of blood in his ears and electric rush of magic in his veins. He clenches his teeth, his muscles contracting with the onslaught. Bella groans and slowly crawls over resting her hand on his. She gently laced her fingers with his.

"Harry...?" As quickly as it came, the power ebs, gentling at the touch of his lover.

Harry slumps forward, his arms wrapped around his waist.

"W-what the hell was that?" Voldemort looked at him.

He had hatred for many people in his life but to use that kind of dark magic was beneath even him. To cloud a persons better judgement was not an ethical choice.

"Dumbledore used an old spell to cloud your better judgement. It makes any suggest seem like the honest truth. What did he tell you?" Bella looked at Voldemort with shock as she looked at Harry.

Harry stared into Voldemort's eyes, offering complete and total trust, opening his mind for Voldemort's Legilimency. He allowed Voldemort to see each event in his mind as he spoke of it, leaving nothing out, even his less-than-commendable feelings, determined to be honest. Voldemort easily sifted through Harry's memories of his time at Hogwarts since leaving here and felt a primal rage towards a man he had once trusted himself try to hurt not only a trusted follower but a close friend.

"I see... It seems that the potion brought out your mature magic. It normally doesnt show til one graduates. I guess your just an early person." Voldemort said with a slight chuckle making Bella smile her hand resting on her stomach.

Harry nodded, then turned to Bella, taking her hands in his.

"You realize that I have to kill him now, don't you?" He raises a hand and brushes her hair from her face.

"He's tried to hurt you now. And I won't allow it." His hands are gentle, but the fire of rage is still in his eyes.

Bella nods.

"I know but dont expect me to just sit back and watch." Bella says as Voldemort nods turning to walk out.

"Believe me Harry the old man has been meddling for too long in our lives. You and your friends are not returning to Hogwarts after Christmas. Too much of a problem to possibly have this happen again." Voldemort said as he walked out of the room.

Harry feels a pang at the loss. Hogwarts was the only home he'd ever known, but he understood that it was irrevocably Dumbledore's territory. He nodded and ran a hand over his face. Bella sighed at the sight of her lovers anguish face.

"Dont worry love. All of us here can still teach you. You know Severus is here to teach you potions. And Cissa is a Divination wiz and me and Lucius are great at Dark Arts." Bella said sitting on the bed.

Harry nodded.

"Yeah. I know." He blinked as something occured to him.

"Oh...er. Hey, so...um. *Can* we...uh, you know. When you're..." He waved his hand vaguely at Bellatrix's swollen belly.

Bella giggled and gently ran her hand over his thigh.

"Ya we can. Much to Severus's dismay, we can still be active together." Bella smiled gently licking his cheek.

"I could be on top." Harry shivered and grinned.

He loved it when his Bella turned on her seductive charm. He laid his hand on hers and led it up to his rapidly rising lap. Bella grinned softly as she unbuttoned his pants. She had been craving his taste for months now. She freed him from the confines of his pants and took him deep into her mouth. She wasted no time sucking gently at him. Harry almost cried out. God, he'd missed this. Missed the sight of Bella's eyes locked onto his as her lips slid down his hardness. He ran a hand through her hair, his hips pumping ever so slightly. Bella purrs sucking on him harder. God she missed his taste on her tongue. She swirled her tongue all around him. Her finger moved into his pants and slipped a single finger slowly inside him.

Harry tilted his head back and groaned, his hips lifting to give her better access. He could feel himself tightening up, pulling ever closer to orgasm as she played him like a fine-tuned instrument. Bella kept her mouth moving slowly over him to keep him simmering on the brink of climax as her fingers moves in and out slowly. Harry raised a hand and plucked at his own nipple through the fabric of his shirt, his head falling further back and the sounds from his throat becoming desperate. Bella grinned as she liked the thought of Harry playing with himself as she pleasured him. She deep throats him swirling her tongue around him. She moved her finger up brushing against his sweet spot. Harry tightens like a bowstring, crying out and calling Bella's name as his climax crashes over him. He rolls his hips as he comes down, breathing hard.

"Bella...God." Bella slowly pulled her mouth away after drinking him down grinning.

"Im glad you still like that. I would think you would get bored of me." She grinned as her finger stayed inside him just slipping aorund inside him.

Harry releases a small moan.

"Never. Never get bored with my Bella." He runs a hand over her hair and down to her shoulder, which he squeezes.

His fingers linger there a moment before dipping forward and caressing the sensitized peak of one breast. Bella cries out as her nipples were very sensitive and were instant peaks. Her finger curled brushing against his sweet spot.

"Ngh." Harry winces in pleasure, his shaft already showing signs of interest as he rubs over Bella's nipple several more times before pinching it carefully.

Bella moans louder arching into him. She slips her finger out licking her lips.

"Would you like to taste me?" Harry's eyes dilate with desire and he licks his lips.

"Oh yes." Bella grins then lays back against the bed.

"Go ahead... look under my dress." Harry runs his hands up her thighs, her dress caught under his thumbs.

He leans forward and kisses the inner edge of her knee. Bella smiles and lays back as her body lightly shudders under his hands. He pushes the dress up past her hips and over her belly before glancing up. Bella's body had taken the massive growth rather well. There were no stretch marks as her skin was still very smooth. Harry ran his hands reverently over her belly, his expression going soft as he contemplated the tiny beings inside. The feeling of two kicks were felt against his hand as Bella gasped slightly.

"They do that alot." Harry's eyes widen and he stared at his hands in wonder. "They... they're really in there..." Bella smiles.

"Yes they are." she rests her hand on his.

"Severus said that i would probably have them around Febuary." Harry nods. He impulsively kisses her belly, feeling a tiny foot pressed against his lips as he does.

He climbs up onto the bed beside Bella, framing her face in his hands. He touches his forehead to hers and caresses her cheeks.

"I love you Bellatrix." He says, and his voice is deep with emotion.

"I love you too Harry." Bella whispered her voice laced with emotion enough to make a few tears slip from her eyes.

Harry kissed her, his lips soft but demanding, and he vowed to himself that he would never let anyone hurt his family ever again. Bella purred gently kissing him just as soft. She would make sure to provide everything for this man. Her body still wished for his touch. Harry dropped one hand to Bella's stomach, accidentally grazing her breast. Bella gasps and arches into him.

"Ahh..." Harry's eyes widen and he freezes.

"What? Are you okay?"

"Your touch... it makes me feel so hot..." Bella blushes softly as her brown hair caressed her shoulders.

Harry glanced at his hand and realized what he must have done. He grinned.

"Does it?" He touched the now hard peak of her breast softly with a fingertip.

Bella gasps as she bites her lip.

"God..." Harry circles the areola before palming her breast, careful not to squeeze her.

He flicks his tongue over her lips. Bella gasps and slips her tongue out wrapping around Harry's tongue. He releases a helpless moan, sealing his lips to Bella's and kissing her deeply. He rises onto his hands and knees over her, never relinquishing his hold on her mouth, as his hands move posessivly over her body, his desire not lessened at all by her new shape. Bella moans softly as her body felt the same way before. Her core already leaking. Harry releases Bella's mouth as he pulls her dress over her head. He trails kisses down her throat and to her sensitive peaks, where he flicks his tongue teasingly. He slides a hand over her hip and to her center, not quite touching her, but feeling her heat. Bella gasps loudly arching higher into him. Her core was burning hot.

"God Harry. Please dont tease me Harry." He nods, and quickly unzips his trousers, slipping out of them and pressing close to his Bella.

In her condiditon, he can't kiss her as he pushes forward, but he cups her cheek, his other hand between them, the thumb slipping over her most sensitive flesh. Bella cries out since she was more sensitive now.

"Ahhh! Harry!" Bella's core closed around him tight.

Harry shudders with the sensation of her squeezing him, his jaw clenched tight. He slides out of her completely, allowing his shaft to flick her clitoris lightly before he lowers and slides back in. He moves his hand from her face, over her chest and caresses her enlarged breasts with the back of his knuckles. Bella cries out loud bucking into him as she lifts her knees welcoming him more.

"Oh so good... your so big..." her voice was almost thick as syrup.

Harry groans at Bella's words, his movements speeding and his thumb touching her continuously as his other hand carefully pinches her nipple. Bella's cries become screams as she bucks into him harder.

"God... im gonna..." she shrieks as she climaxs hard on him.

Harry takes Bella's hips in his hands and rides out her orgasm, his own finally crashing over him as he shudders and eventually bows forward over her, his breathing laboured. Bella pants hard and licks her lips. Harry slips to the side, stretching out beside Bella and kissing her temple.

"Nice to know we can still do that." He chuckles.

Bella giggles as takes his hand resting it on her stomach.

"I am too. I dont think i can go 9 months without sex with a god like you."

"Guh-god...?" Harry blushes deeply.

"W-well. I'm glad you think so." He seems to be at a loss of what to say.

Bella grins and pulls him close as a foot kicks his hand.

"I think thats your son saying hello." Harry grins and places a hand on Bella's stomach.

"Rather rude of me to poke him in the head like that, eh?" Bella laughs hard at his joke.

"I think his sister has more to say to you about that." Harry pauses, his brow furrowing.

"I hadn't thought about one of them being a girl." He sighs theatrically.

"I'm going to have to kill some boy over her, aren't i?" Bella giggles.

"I will have to assassignate a girl over our son." He grins at her.

"We're agreed then. No one's good enough for our babies." Bella nods as she rubs her stomach.

"Our son will have to find a combination of Pansy, Hermione and me before i will say go ahead and date." Harry nods.

"And our girl will not only have to find a combination of...of...you know what? If she turns up with some boy like me, I'm kicking him out on his ear because I know exactly what he wants." Harry laughs brightly and reaches around to squeeze Bella's ass jokingly.

Bella gasps and giggles.

"Oh god... our son will be a horny bastard." Harry's eyes widen.

"I hope he doesn't come home with another you. I'd never get any peace!" He falls back, playfully horrified.

Bella giggles.

"Oh but our daughter would probably run off with a bad boy and get right in my shoes." Harry wraps his arms around his lover.

"Hey Bella." he asks, suddenly serious despite his soft smile.

Bella looks at him.

"Yes Harry?" He leans up and kisses Bella, using her distraction to pull a chain from under his shirt.

On it is something he'd had to beg the twins to get for him. A small gold ring with a diamond and two tiny pearls, the brackets shaped like phoenix feathers. Inside was the instription: Amor Vincit Omnia, love conquers all. He pulled it from the chain as he broke the kiss.

"Will you marry me, my Bella?" Bella's eyes widen like the moon as she slowly sat up looking at the ring.

"Oh Harry..." she breathed.

The engagement between her and Rodolphus was rather unemotional. There were no bands exchanged just worthless vows. Her heart bubbled up as she smiled brightly.

"Yes yes! Yes i will." Harry's face split into a wide grin and he slipped the ring onto her finger.

"I...had it made especially for you. I had to guess at the size. Hermione helped me there." Bella felt tears roll down her cheeks as she pulls Harry close kissing him passioantely.

She never felt so happy in her life.

"Oh Harry... i love you so much." Harry kisses her for a long time before he pulls away.

"I love you too, Bella." He squeezes her.

"More than I thought I ever could love someone..." Bella clutches onto him as she cries gently into his shoulder.

Harry rocks her gently, kissing her temple, more happy than he's ever been and much more relieved than he cares to admit. Despite knowing she loved him, Harry had been unsure if her previous experience with marriage would make her wary of trying it with him. Bella holds onto him as she looks at the ring feeling a swelling of her heart. God she couldnt be happier. Harry felt one of the babies kick against his chest and he chuckled.

"Seems they're happy too. I guess I'll be making an honest woman out of you, eh?" Bella laughs hard.

"Honest? I dont think ive ever been honest."

"Well." Harry says, grinning. "Married at any rate. And mine." Bella smiles and kisses his lips deeply.

Harry smiles into the kiss and runs his hand through Bella's hair, sleepiness creeping up on him. Bella slowly breaks the kiss and falls asleep with him.
