Bliss (The story)

Harry sat in his dorm reading a book that he’d checked out from the library entitled, Everything You Need to Know When You’re Expecting. Madam Pomfery had told him about it when he’d started asking her questions during his last exam. It was only a few days until holidays and Harry was overjoyed to be spending time with his Godfather. Though he didn’t really know how he was going to tell him yet. Maybe he’d just notice, Harry mused. He was starting to show now, not much but if one paid enough attention, they’d notice the bulge forming in his midsection.

Dean and Seamus had said that they were spending Christmas at Hogwarts, something about having more privacy when no one was around. Hermione and Ron were going to spend it with Harry at Grimmald Place and Ron’s family were going to join them the day before Christmas, and were only staying a few days. Other than that, Harry didn’t know what everyone was doing for the Holidays and he didn’t care much.

He’d tried a few other times to tell Severus about the baby but each time he’d failed. The man just didn’t want to talk to him, for reasons he didn’t know. Maybe he was trying to avoid him, maybe he already knew and didn’t want to be a part of it, maybe he really was busy and Harry had caught him at bad times. Harry had no idea and he was starting to give up trying to tell him.

He had noticed that Draco Malfoy was spending more and more time in the professor’s presence though. He didn’t know why but the more he thought about it, the more jealous he became. Harry wanted to be the one spending time in the dungeons, he wanted to be the one to go to Snape when he had a problem, he wanted to cry on the older man’s shoulder and be soothed by him when he was having a bad day.

And Harry seemed to be having more and more bad days lately. He seemed to cry for no reason now, and just chucked it up to the new pregnancy hormones. He thought back to a few days ago when a group of second years had come into the common room giggling and causing a fuss.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sitting at a table working on their Transfiguration essays and when the girls sat down in front of the fireplace and continued to gossip rather loudly, keeping Harry from concentrating, He decided to take matters into his own hands.

The brunet stood from his seat and made his way over to the younger girls, “Do you mind? We‘re trying to get some work done.”

One of the girls looked up at him and replied, “We were just talking.”

“Yeah, rather loudly,” Harry retorted, his patients wearing thin.

“Then ignore us, it is a free common room,” another girl said, her voice as loud as Harry’s had become.

“Well some of us have work to do, so I suggest you shut your bloody mouths before I shut them for you!!”

Another girl grabbed the second girl by the hand to calm her friend and soon all of them left. When Harry returned to his seat across from Ron and Hermione, Ron looked dumfounded at what his friend had done.

“What?” Harry asked as he picked up his quill to finish his essay.

“Oi, Mate, you alright?”

“Yeah, sure, why?”

“Harry, they were just talking,” Ron pointed out.

“They were talking really loudly, I couldn‘t concentrate,” the Gryffindor pointed out.

“Well you didn‘t have to yell at them.”

“They were annoying me,” He said in a defensive tone.

“It‘s the hormones,” Hermione spoke up, not taking her eyes from her transfiguration book.
Maybe he had been a bit harsh, now that he thought about it, but all he could hear were the sounds of their voices while he was studying and it was getting on his nerves, he had to do something.
