Chapter 8
Chapter 8
Harry was surprised at how fast the months were passing. As his stomach continued to grow, so did his appetite and strange food cravings along with many rushed trips to the bathroom for his overactive bladder. He found himself calling upon Dobby many times during the day and night to go the kitchen and get him something odd to eat. Molly was finally done setting up the bedroom at the Burrow for Harry and his babies. After they were born, he planned on taking a couple of months off to bond and take care of them himself. When they were old enough and he was recovered from the birth, Molly would be helping him out by babysitting for them while he continued with his teaching. Harry was now on his way to see Severus so that he could tell him he was pregnant and request some time off.
He was walking towards the Headmaster’s Office when he had the strange feeling of being watched. The fine hairs on his neck
were bristling in warning and he hugged himself as if a chill had suddenly hit him. Turning his head, he looked behind him but didn’t notice anything strange so continued on his trek. It‘s nothing, he thought, and blamed it on the strange concoctions he had taken to eating that were messing with his mind. As he continued walking, he stopped again, and could have sworn he heard footsteps coming up from somewhere behind him. I have to stop this. It’s foolish. Who would be following me around anyway? My imagination is just playing tricks on me that’s all. At least, that’s what he tried to convince himself it was.
Harry was glad when he finally reached the stone gargoyle and took the stairs up to Severus’ office. When he arrived, he reached out and knocked on the door. After a couple of seconds, it slowly opened to allow him entry and he walked in.

Hazel eyes watched with lust as his prey continued to walk unaware down the hallway. Within such easy reach, yet so far, he thought. I will have you soon, my little pet, very soon. The plan had already been set in motion and now he just had wait for the right time to present itself. It won‘t be too much longer and I will finally have you right where I want you. My patience has finally paid off and nobody is suspicious. He watched until the young green-eyed Adonis slipped by the stone gargoyle and disappeared from his sight.

“Harry! Please come in and have a seat. I just have to finish writing this letter and I’ll be right with you,” greeted Severus.
Harry sat in the proffered seat in front of the large oak desk. After he made himself comfortable, Fawkes flew from his perch to land on the arm of Harry’s chair where he folded his great wings. Harry smiled at the beautiful crimson phoenix and reached his hand out to gently run it over the smooth feathers.
“Hello, Fawkes,” whispered Harry softly. He smiled into Fawkes black eyes and was warmly greeted by soft singing coming from the golden beak.
After Severus had finished his letter, he tied the scroll to the leg of a waiting owl and it flew off and out the open window behind his desk.
“Sorry to keep you waiting Harry,” spoke Severus and leaned back comfortably in his chair while gazing at him with a worried look on his face. “When you said that it was important we talk, I must say I have been somewhat concerned that something might be wrong. I hope you are still happy with your teaching position and it has not become too much for you to handle. I wouldn‘t want to lose you for any reason.”
After a nudge from Fawkes, Harry replied in a nervous voice. “Well you see Sir, I do have something rather important to discuss with you. Although, I don’t think it’s what you would have expected it to be. I am just afraid I don’t know where to start.”
“Well, why don’t we try at the beginning then.” suggested Severus to the younger Wizard.
Harry nodded his head and began to tell Severus the whole story leaving out only the most intimate parts. When he had finished, he sat watching his bemused Headmaster and was wondering what he was
thinking. He watched Severus close his eyes and begin to mutter something under his breath. He’s going to fire me, I know he is. How can he continue to let me teach knowing what I have done? If any parents find out, my career is ruined and poor Severus won’t look so good either for having hired me. What am I going to do now? I am lucky my parents and Sirius left me sizeable inheritances because I am going to need it.
Severus listened to Harry tell his version of what had happened the night of the Ministry Ball and now was sitting in his chair thinking it over. Lucius, you damned fool, now look at what you’ve gone and done. As if this poor boy sitting in front of me hasn’t had enough to deal with in his young life, now you’ve gone and gotten him pregnant. You arrogant pigheaded fool. I can’t let Harry know that Lucius already told me about that night. He would never trust me again and I wouldn’t blame him. I should have known that, where the Slytherin Ice King was involved, something like this would happen. What the hell was Lucius thinking? That’s the problem, he wasn’t, well he was but with the wrong part of his body. Good going Lucius, now not one but three of your offspring are going to be set loose on the Wizarding World. I don’t think they will be ready for this. I am not ready for this. Merlin, what a combination, Potter and Malfoy, who would have thought it could every happen. He opened his eyes and saw Harry watching him. The poor boy looked like he was about to bolt out the door never to return.
“Harry, it wasn’t your fault so don’t blame yourself,” stated Severus in a calm tone, “Lucius is the one who is responsible for all of this not you. I want to thank you for having the confidence to come forward and confide in me. It must have been a very hard decision on your part but I am glad you had the courage to make it. Your parents would have been proud of you and though I hate to admit it but even your Godfather. I will allow you time off so don’t worry about that. I have no doubts about Ms. Granger’s capabilities and am confident she will work out fine as a replacement teacher until you are able to return. I will help keep your secret until you are ready to let it be known. You have my Wizard’s Oath on that.”
Harry was speechless but after another nudge from Fawkes came out of his daze and thanked Severus. They spent the rest of the morning together discussing plans. When it was time to leave, Harry made one more plea to Severus.
“Headmaster...Sir...Severus...I would like to ask you one more favor,” requested a distressed Harry.
Severus was expecting this and helped Harry out by answering, “You don’t even have to ask me Harry. I give you my word, my oath, that Lucius will never learn about the babies from me. After what he has done to you, well, let’s just say he doesn’t deserve to know. At least, not until you are ready for him to find out. Then, when that time comes, you will be the one who tells him and not anyone else. To be truthfully frank, I would not blame you in the least, if you decided never to tell him.”
“Thank you, Severus. I can’t begin to tell you how much this all means to me. The support that you, Hermione and Ron, Molly and Arthur, have given to me is just too much for me to even comprehend right now. I am truly blessed to have so many wonderful friends. Thank you.”
When it was time for Harry to leave, he stood up and Severus walked around his desk to escort him to the door. Before he left, Severus put his arm around Harry’s shoulder and gave him a squeeze saying, “Harry, please don’t worry, things will work out for the best that I promise you.”
***********************
Harry returned to his rooms and sat down to rest. He would be returning to the Burrow for his weekend visit and needed to get his thoughts together. It amazed him how well Severus took the news and how he had been so supportive. Thinking back to his
years as a student, Harry never thought that they would have
been able to put aside their past differences and hatred to form
a friendship such as this. Smiling, he thought, maybe things would work out for the best. He was going to finally have the family he always wanted. He and the babies were healthy and life was good. Gently rubbing his belly he thought, soon my little ones, soon
we will all be together and nobody will be able to tear us apart. Yes, life was definitely good.
***********************
Meanwhile, down in the dungeons, a solitary figure stood over a cauldron stirring the hidden contents and then pouring the finished product into a small flask putting it into the pocket of his robes. Walking out of the room, he waved his hand in the air and the evidence he left behind disappeared.
