Pranksters In Love

Harry and Draco stood outside of the Bell home waiting for someone to answer the door. “She had better be home!” he muttered to himself.

A house elf opened the door and bid them entrance when he recognized the two men. “Mistress Malfoy is not here, sir,” he said to Draco.

“I am not looking for Katie, we are looking for Felicia.”

“I will see if she is available,” the well-trained elf said diplomatically.

“Tell her that Harry is here and that he immediately needs to speak with her,” he demanded.

“Yes, sir,” he said popping out of the room.

A few minutes later Felicia came into the room. “Harry, I wasn’t expecting you,” she exclaimed with a smile.

“We need to talk, Felicia.”

“Well hello to you too!” she said.

“I have just learned something disturbing and I need to discuss it with you. I am sorry for being insensitive, but we really need to discuss this.”

“What’s up?”

“I just learned that most aphrodisiac potions have a fertility potion mixed in with them. Did you use something to protect yourself?”

Felicia looked at Harry stunned. She had no idea about the fertility potion, and she hadn’t even thought of taking something to prevent pregnancy.

“Well, I guess by your blank look that I have my answer. Get your cloak and come with me,” he said.

“What? Where are we going?”

“St. Mungo’s. They can do a pregnancy test right now.”

Felicia gulped. This just kept getting better and better she thought bitterly. She prayed to Merlin that she hadn’t conceived. She flicked her wand and was ready to go moments later.

“I shall wait here for you, Harry, and then we can finish our visit to Hagrids.”

Harry turned and looked at Draco. He had been so quiet that he had forgotten that he was there. “Thank you, Draco,” he said.

Draco winked at Harry, “What are friends for?”

Harry grinned at that. He liked Malfoy and thought that being his friend wouldn’t be quite so bad.

“Lets use the floo network,” Felicia suggested.

Harry nodded his consent.

Hermione was lounging on the sofa in the library when she heard an owl tapping at the window. She rose and opened the window. The owl held out its leg and she untied the message. She handed the owl a treat, patted its head gently and asked if it needed a response.

The owl trilled and flew back out the window.

She unrolled the parchment and saw that it was from Minerva McGonagall.

Dear Hermione,
I find that I am in need of a transfiguration Professor. I cannot devote full time to my headmistress duties and teach so many transfiguration classes. I was hoping that I could convince you to agree to become the new transfiguration professor. You would be in charge of all the transfiguration class with the exception of the NEWT levels, which I will continue to teach. Please think about this for a few days and get back to me as soon as possible.

Fondly,
Minerva McGonagall
Headmistress Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry


Hermione squealed in delight. She couldn’t believe that she was being offered her dream! She didn’t even need to think about it. She knew that she would be there with bells on! She quickly wrote out a response and went searching for George’s owl. She stopped instantly in her tracks when she thought of George.

She was married now. She couldn’t just randomly make decisions without consulting with her husband. They had never talked about her working before. They really hadn’t spent a lot of time talking about anything. Their marriage came about so quickly, and then the deaths of Molly and Ginny. After that he had spent so much time at his store getting it up and running. By the time that he got home at night he was exhausted and they fell into bed where they would make passionate love and then he would fall straight asleep. Most mornings he was gone before she woke up.

She thought for a second and decided to surprise him at work. She had been meaning to pop in there anyway, and this would be a perfect excuse to do so.


Felicia layed on the cold table while a healer ran a wand over her bare belly. She saw the wand flash a couple of times and wondered what the flashes of light meant. She couldn’t believe that she was stupid enough to forget about contraceptives.

Harry watched the healer beating himself up again for his stupidity. He was in the exactly same position with Felicia that he had been in with Ginny. At least this time he would know for sure whether or not she was pregnant. He didn’t know what he would do if she was. He really didn’t not want another lying witch for a wife.

“Well, it looks like you are completely healthy. I can’t detect any medical issues that we need to worry about,” the healer said with a smile.

“What about pregnancy?” Harry demanded.

“Conception has occurred. As I tell all of my clients, the first few weeks anything can happen. It is very early and we can never tell if the egg is going to implant into the uterus or not. All I can say at this point is that conception has occurred. I can tell you the sex of the babies, and I can do a paternity test if necessary, but I can’t give you any long term information.”

Harry stood there stunned. She was pregnant. He was going to be a father. This time for real. After a second his head popped up. “Did you just say babies?” he demanded.

“Yes, twins. They are fraternal. That means two eggs fertilized. Would you like to know the sex?”

Both Harry and Felicia were stunned. They stood starring at each other for a moment in shock. Felicia finally broke the silence. “Harry?”

“I would like to know,” he said.

She smiled at him. “Me too.”

The healer beamed at both of them. “You are having two boys!”

Harry smiled. Two sons! He really didn’t care what the sex of the baby was, but he couldn’t say he wasn’t happy with the idea of having to sons to play with.

Felicia watched Harry smile and her heart raced. He was such a sexy man. She hoped that her son’s would look just like him. She was all of the sudden quite content to be pregnant. It wasn’t what she wanted or expected, but she was happy nonetheless.

“Are you needing a paternity test as well?” the healer asked. It was getting to be pretty commonplace to do them as so many witches and wizards were being forced to marry in such a short amount of time.

Harry watched as Felicia turned bright red. “No,” he said. “I know that they are mine.”

Felicia sighed in relief at his answer. She had hoped that he wouldn’t demand a test. She had been a virgin and he knew it, but sometimes men did strange things when they were backed against a wall.

The healer smiled and said, “Well, if that is everything, I guess we are through here. You will need to make an appointment at the front desk for monthly checkups on your way out.”

Harry and Felicia looked at each other again. Neither one of them was sure of what to say. Harry still did not want to get married but knew that now that she was carrying his son’s he didn’t have an option. He wished things could have been different. He thought that he might have liked Felicia under normal circumstances.

Felicia saw all of her dreams fly by as she thought of children and marriage. She really had wanted to travel and see the world. She wanted to experience what it would be like to live on her own without anyone telling her what to do and where to go. Now that she would have a husband she would again be under someone else’s control. She didn’t even know him that well. For all she knew he could have been a wife beater or a control freak.

“I think that we both need to process this information. Let’s still meet tomorrow for lunch and decide where we want to go from here.” Harry said.

Felicia nodded. “That’s a good idea. Can we keep this just between the two of us for now? I would like time for us to figure out what we are doing before my family get involved.”

Harry agreed. “I would like this to be a decision that the two of us make based off what we want. I would like whatever choice we make be what is best for both of us because its what we want. I don’t want your father telling you to do something because I am Harry Potter. I don’t want my friends telling me to do something because it’s the right thing to do. It needs to be what is best just for you and I.”

“I agree.”

“Let’s go then. I need to get back to Draco. We are going to ask Hagrid to help us find his brother so that we can try to figure out where Lucius is.”

“I’m surprised that anyone is even looking for him,” she said. “I didn’t think that anyone really liked him.”

“Nobody does that I know of. Its one of those things where Draco would be expected to look for him so that is what he is doing. I really don’t think that he is worried about where his father is.”

“Isn’t that so sad? To not be loved or wanted?”

“I promise you this, I will do anything and everything that I can for those boys. I will be the best father that anyone could ever ask for. Our son’s will want for nothing, including love and attention. When I am gone, they will miss me because they love me,” he ferverently swore.

“I know you will be a great father, Harry.”
