Drao's POV

I shifted uncomfortably under Hermione's stare.

I needed to get away and think, one baby was difficult to come to terms with but two? Two was so much more difficult. I gasped in a few shaky breaths and turned on my heel, the astronomy tower, fresh air, space.

I didn't dare look back to see the hurt on Harry's face, I couldn't stand to see him hurting because of me.

The tower seemed to move further away with every step I took, each agonising stair, every breath seemed to pull me farther away. After what felt an age, I pushed the door open and sighed as the cool air hit me...i immediately latched on to the railing, and dropped my head to look at my feet.

Two babies?

The thought chilled me, tears prickled my eyes, threatening to spill. I shook my head defiantly as they began to trickle over my cheeks. I tried to choke back the sob that escaped my lips, shivering, I slid to the floor as another sob tore itself from my throat.

Harry settled himself next to me and wrapped his arms protectively around my shoulders, having followed me

"Shhhh" he whispered "Calm down" he pressed a soft kiss to my temple as I took in large shaky gulps of air

I tried to tell him that this was all too much – but I couldn't make the words come out. Another strangled sob escaped my lips.

Harry's POV

Draco's agonizing sobs filled the astronomy tower, it tore my heart in two to hear him in such a state, all I could do was hold him and try to assure him things would work out. Eventually he fell asleep and I carried him slowly to the Gryffindor dorm room.

Hermione and Ron were waiting for us and relief washed over their features as I smiled softly and carried Draco upstairs.

Draco's POV

I blinked slowly, willing sleep away. The events from earlier came crashing down and I had to take a deep breath to calm myself. I got up slowly and pulled on a dressing gown, Harry had changed me into my pajamas. I trudged down the stairs, Hermione, Ron and Harry looked up as I stepped on to the threadbare rug on the floor "Draco" Harry breathed in relief he stood up and stepped over to me, pulling me into a warm embrace. "I love you" he murmured in my ear. I felt my eyes fill up again and tears rolled down my cheeks and I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck

It pained me to admit it, but I whispered to Harry quietly "I'm scared" he held on to me tighter as I bit back a sob. Harry's arms slipped underneath my knees and he pulled me up into his arms

"Come on" he smiled softly as he carried me up the stairs and gently lowered me on to the soft bed, pulling the covers over both myself and him. He pulled me close to himself and kissed my temple as I grabbed his top.

Slowly I drifted off into an uneasy sleep

I woke up groggily the next morning, Harry was lying next to me, watching me carefully with loving eyes "I love you so much" he murmured into the silent room. I smiled and held on to him as he pushed us both into a sitting position.

"Shall we go down to the Great Hall for breakfast today?" he suggested, I nodded and smiled as he got up and quickly changed into some clean clothes. I followed suit and grabbed some clothes before changing and leaving for the common room.

Hermione and Ron were already up "Morning" the brunette smiled "We going to eat downstairs?" Hermione asked. I nodded and we left in silence, it was slightly awkward after the unexpected news from yesterday. I glanced at myself in the mirror as we walked past, I gasped at my red-rimmed eyes and ghostly pale complexion.

Harry wrapped a reassuring arm around me and I sighed softly as we found ourselves outside the Great Hall.

Ron pushed the door open and we followed him inside, sitting at the lone table in the centre of the room. Dumbledore smiled at us, the merry twinkle still present in his eye.

I lowered my eyes to my plate as it filled with fried eggs, bacon, baked beans and more. My stomach churned as I stared at the food. The loud clinking of cutlery filled the hall and I felt my stomach lurch once again. I jumped from my chair and ran from the room, not looking back or caring if anyone followed. I collapsed to the floor of the cubicle and heaved violently into the toilet. Coughing and spluttering as another wave of nausea hit me with double force.

Harry ran his hands soothingly over my back. Well I assumed it was Harry – I daren't look around to see. I hiccoughed as tears streamed down my cheeks from the acidic taste

"Shhh, it's ok baby, just breathe" he calmed me as I continued to heave for a further ten minutes. I leant back against Harry with a sigh as my stomach settled. He wrapped his arms around me and gently pulled me up off the floor and back to the Great Hall. I sat heavily on the bench and stared glumly at my food

XXX

The last few days passed before the students came back and soon I was packing my things to head to my shared room with Harry.

I sat down on the large double bed in the complex and looked around. Everything was going to change oh so much, were Harry and I really prepared? No. I thought miserably.

Harry sat next to me, noticing my absent-mindedness "Is everything ok love?" he asked softly

"Yeah, just worrying about everything" I replied vaguely

he smiled softly "Of course, but things will be fine

XXX

The students all arrived back at the castle the next morning. I sighed as I woke up to the first morning of lessons...back to pretending me and Harry were enemies.

As I sat on the Slytherin table I was bombarded with questions, too many to focus on, so I picked the shrill voice of Pansy to focus on "How was your Christmas Draco?"

I nodded and smiled, it was good to have my friends back "Yeah" I grinned as Pansy smiled "You?" I asked

"Great, though I missed you Draco!" I smiled – I had missed them, and having them back made me appreciate them that much more.

XXX

It was nice to see my friends again for the day, but I couldn't suppress the sigh of relief and content as I sat in Harry's arms in our personal complex within the castle

XXX

The next morning I left for breakfast early, Harry would arrive later with Ron and Hermione. I sat next to Pansy at the table and she immediately latched onto my arm. I discreetly tried to shrug her off but she was determined and smiled a sickly sweet smile at me "Where were you last night Draco?" I cringed slightly – hating to lie to her, but also hating the way she was treating me like her boyfriend.

"Lot's going on at the moment Panz" I replied, averting my gaze from her, I couldn't lie while staring into her eyes.

"Oh no, I hope you aren't too stressed Draco" she smiled softly and fluttered her eyelashes. Could I be possible that Pansy did in fact like me as more than a friend? I shied away from her slightly, not wanting to give her the wrong idea by being to comfortable with her clinginess.

As Harry walked in I glanced over. He was deep in conversation with Ginny Weasley and I felt a pang of jealousy run through me.

This continued for the entire day...he spent all of his free time with the Weasley girl and ignored me, not even a glance in my direction. I couldn't bear to sit through the evening meal watching him talking to the red-head and so left for our room early. I curled up on the sofa in my pajamas...hugging my knees to my chest as I waited for him...

I knew my mind was being irrational – Harry wasn't interested in her, but he had spent the whole day engrossed in conversation – perhaps he was changing his mind?

I was brought from my thoughts as the door opened and Harry stepped inside. He smiled and sat next to me, pulling me onto his lap.

I turned my face away as he went to place a soft kiss on my lips. He pulled back – a hurt expression painted on his features.

"You spent all day talking to her" I mumbled while refusing to look at him

"Oh" he smiled softly as I turned to look at him as a tear rolled down my cheek "Love, I was just trying to keep her from finding out about us just yet" I smiled as he pulled me closer

"I love you, don't forget that" he smiled and kissed my temple as I snuggled closer contently.

XXX

Saturday morning dawned cold and crisp. I snuggled closer to Harry and smiled against his pajama clad chest. "We should go" Harry said against my hair "We don't want to draw attention to us"

I nodded and quickly changed and left. As I got outside the Great Hall Pansy and Blaise walked over "Where were you last night?" Pansy asked suspiciously, there was definitely something going on inside that head of hers

"Was just busy Panz, sorry" I smiled apologetically, it wasn't TECHNICALLY a lie.

She smiled "Oh, I hope you're alright Dracy, you seem so stressed!" I smiled awkwardly as she dragged me into the Great Hall.

By the time the afternoon had arrived, I had sent Harry an owl and we met in the astronomy tower. Harry grinned as he saw me leaning against the railing waiting for him. In a few steps he was behind me, wrapping his arms protectively around my swollen middle. I smiled and leaned against him turning my head as he leant in to kiss my lips softly. I smiled and turned around in his arms, wrapping my own around his neck and pulling him closer to me. A gasp dragged me from the moment, ice cold fear washed through me, as I turned my head to look at whomever had seen us, half expecting Pansy, I couldn't suppress the gasp as Cho Chang stared at Harry with wide, unblinking eyes. Harry cursed and stepped towards the girl as tears spilled down her cheeks and she dashed from the room. Harry looked at me nervously "Go after her" I choked out through my fear "She'll tell everyone"

Harry nodded and ran down the stairs, leaving me at the top of the tower.

He came back a while later, "I don't know where she went" I let my head fall into my hands

"What're we gunna do? She'll tell them! Everyone will know!" I wailed in despair as Harry pulled me to my feet

"Go back to the room. Stay there over dinner, I'll handle everyone" I shook my head against Harry's chest

"The only thing worse than going, would be not going" I smiled and kissed him before we left for the hall, arriving slightly apart, just in case the girl had kept her mouth shut

Unfortunately for me not. Harry had insisted on going in first, to get the brunt of it as he put it. I sighed as everyone stared at me as I walked to my seat. Pansy looked at me sadly "Don't worry Draco, we're still here for you" she and Blaise smiled. I nodded thickly – they'd stuck by me. I smiled as Pansy wrapped an arm around me "I don't know what I'd do without friends like you" Pansy smiled as I stood to leave as the whispering and abuse grew louder. "I'll see you later" I smiled to my only two Slytherin friends left. Pansy nodded as I dashed from the hall.

I hid away in my small complex in the castle and only minutes after I'd curled up in the bed, Harry and Dumbledore arrived. Harry pulled me close to him as soon as he had sat down, Dumbledore conjured a chair next to the bed and sat down slowly.

A loud sob filled the room and it was moments later that I realised it was me crying against Harry's chest. Dumbledore watched me sadly as I tried to choke back my cries and stop my tears.

"I understand this is distressing" Dumbledore began softly as I calmed down "The teacher's are all aware of the situation." he paused "Including the pregnancy" my eyes widened "After a long discussion which has been ongoing for days, we decided that it would be in yours, and the babies best interests to have all teachers aware of the situation. In case any problems arise in your classrooms" Harry nodded, I remained quiet, still feeling numb.

Dumbledore smiled "I expect you both to be in your lessons on Monday" Harry nodded and the headmaster left without another word. Harry pulled me closer to himself and kissed my temple. I sighed and closed my eyes, the stress of the day creeping up on me.

XXX

I woke late the next day. It was Sunday much to my relief. I rolled over to smile at Harry, but my hand brushed a piece of paper on his pillow.

'Have gone to meet Hermione and Ron to explain, will be back at lunch

Love you

Harry x'

I smiled and held the note for a few moments before slowly rolling over in the bed and standing. Vertigo blurred my vision and I crashed to my knees as the room blurred into darkness for a few long moments. Slowly things returned to normal. I shook my head in annoyance and pushed myself to my feet. My swollen stomach making my back ache already. I placed my hand on my sizeable (for a bloke) bump and headed to the sofa to sit down, thankful that it only looked like I was bloated, for now.

Harry returned less than an hour later. I smiled as he sat next to me

"How were they all?" I asked, assuming he had been to the Gryffindor common room. He smiled

"Fine. They've got no problem with it" I smiled and leant against him "How do you think the Slytherin's will react?" he asked me. I shrugged half-heartedly...I didn't want to tell him that they'd be furious.

"Fancy getting some lunch?" Harry asked me after a moments silence. I nodded and stood up to change, before I faced the sneering faces and taunting voices.

I walked into the hall slowly, sweeping my gaze across the sea of students, now all staring over at me. It felt like it was first grade all over again and I was the shiny new toy. I sighed and sat at the Slytherin table in silence...none of my own house had spoken to me yet...I think I'd have preferred to be abused than ignored.

After not too long Pansy sat next to me and smiled as she held on to my arm and grinned "Hungry?" she asked and shovelled food on to my plate without awaiting an answer. I chuckled and slowly began to eat the mountain of food she had supplied me with.

I didn't even manage to finish half the food on my plate before nausea kicked in. I slowly rose from the table, just as Millicent threw the contents of a glass of orange juice over my head. I jumped back in shock and left with a quiet "I'll see you later". I was just getting close to the doors, in just a few more steps I could make a mad dash for the toilet and throw up – my body so desperately wanted to. I passed the Ravenclaw table quickly without glancing over.

I lurched forward as something caught my foot. I turned my body and managed to keep the weight of my precious swollen stomach, but pain exploded in my forehead as my head smacked into the hard stone floor of the Great Hall. My vision swam in and out of focus for a long minute and I was aware of Harry kneeling next to me without even realising he had walked over. I looked up at Harry and smiled through the pain as I pushed myself on to my knees and then up on to my feet. I must've hit my head harder than I had though as I felt myself stagger into Harry's arms as I watched Cho Chang smirk smugly at me. I felt my anger boil but Harry was directing from the Hall and to the hospital wing. Probably for the best. I had been taught how to efficiently execute the cruciatus curse when Voldemort spent a period of time at the Malfoy Manor – what I wouldn't give to test it on Cho... My father insisted that I be taught the ways of the 'Dark Lord'. I wasn't proud of myself. The house elf I was forced to learn on eventually lost it's mind, it tried to kill me one night while I slept, but – and I hated to admit it – thankfully, the Dark Lord was aware and stopped the elf before it had the chance to seriously injure me.

I wondered why my thoughts had wandered to such measly and trivial things in my past as Harry directed me to the hospital wing. Great. This was just where I wanted to be! I sighed in frustration as the nurse strode towards me as we walked in. She tentatively reached forward and brushed my hair away from my forehead, was I that badly hurt? I reached my hand up and gently ran my hands over the pain, I couldn't feel much, it was a numbing pain, but my hand was bloody when I pulled it away. I cringed

"nothing a bit of magic won't fix in a jiffy!" she smiled and pulled her wand from her apron, flicked it and mumbled a healing spell, I'd heard it before. I smiled as the pain changed from a numbing stabbing sensation, to a dull throb. "Let's just check for concussion" she smiled "Lumos" she commanded as she pointed her wand close to my face and pulled my eye wide open. Then the other

"Mild, if at all. Just stay awake till this evening and you should be fine" Harry nodded and pulled me to my feet once again – leading me straight to our room to clean me up.

XXX

The evening arrived all too soon. Harry and I hadn't left the room all afternoon, Hermione and Ron visited and decided to stay for the evening.

My eyes drooped all evening, Harry gave me nudges periodically through the evening to keep me awake, per Poppy's instructions.

XXX

The next day we had double potions first, Snape was discreetly easy on me for the lesson, I smiled as he glanced at my potion with barely a comment on the fact it wasn't right. I sighed and stirred my cauldron, willing the mixture to turn the right colour. Pansy walked over and smiled "Can I borrow a mandrake root Draco?" she smiled I nodded and passed her the ingredient, and turned back to my potion.

She smiled "Thanks" Draco she turned to leave and gasped as the root slipped from her hand "Oh my gosh!" she exclaimed as the root dropped into my potion "I'm so sorry!" I shook my head "It's fine" I assured not realising the effect the ingredient would have. I jumped back as my potion bubbled over and spilled on to the desk, burning through and on to the floor Snape strode over "Had an accident?" he asked coldly looking at the Slytherin girl, Pansy blushed "I'm so sorry Draco" she ran over to her own table. I sighed and cleared up the mess "I'm going to have to fail you on this Draco" Snape said somewhat softly. I nodded "I'll need 10 inches of parchment off you on how to create this potion effectively and correctly" he added harshly. I nodded silently. Understanding that he had to treat me the same as any other student was something I had to accept.

The lesson ended with no drama and I found myself in mine and Harry's complex in the castle doing my homework at stupid-o-clock in the morning. Harry stayed up with me and helped with his potions book...still we didn't know who the 'Half Blood Prince' was but I wasn't going to question, it helped me out of a very sticky situation.

I sighed as dropped my quill – finally the homework was completed and I could sleep. It was two thirty in the morning, Harry had fallen asleep at the table long ago, his glasses had half fallen off a while ago. I nudged him gently to wake him as I shoved my homework and the 'Half Blood Prince's' book into my bag, he blinked and yawned, straightening his glasses and lifting his head from the table "I'm finished" I smiled as Harry yawned again. I gently rubbed the small of my back to try and ease the building ache as we stood and left for bed.

XXX

Over the next couple of weeks, things began to calm down. The whispering stopped, the abuse stopped, yet Cho Change still held on to her extreme grudge against me. She became steadily more and more unbearable when we passed in the corridors and even worse, in our double herbology lesson.

I spoke to Harry about it after a particularly rough day

"Harry?" I began softly, not knowing how to approach the subject

"Yes love" he answered and looked over at me

I hesitated, should I really be bringing this up?

"Is everything ok?" he asked as he sat next to me

"Not really" I couldn't lie to him "I've been having a few problems with that Cho girl"

Harry raised his eyebrows minutely. "I see" he paused "I can understand why, but perhaps I'll have a chat with her" I looked at him for a long moment and nodded

"I was seeing her briefly last year love, I should've realised she'd react badly when she found out about us" I nodded and smiled as Harry pulled me into a hug pressing a soft kiss to my forehead.

XXX

Within the next few days Harry had spoken to Cho Chang, he didn't tell me what was said but he had told me things were sorted, however she hadn't changed one bit since. And that is how the herbology lesson began to go terribly awry.

We were re-potting young mandrake plants. Simple enough task, we had all done it before. Except that before I didn't have an enemy like Cho Chang on my case.

"Now make sure to keep your earmuffs on, the cries won't kill you but will certainly knock you out for a few hours" we all put on our earmuffs and began to work.

That was when Cho decided to take matters into her own hands. Just as Pansy pulled her mandrake out of the pot, Cho crept up behind me and pulled my earmuffs off. I cried out in agony as the piercing cry filled my ears, I crashed to the floor as my vision faded and within less than half a minute I felt myself slip into darkness.

XXX

I woke up in the infirmary. Harry was sat next to me dozing as I stirred and blinked the sleep away

"Draco" he breathed, as I woke "I'm so glad you're ok" I raised an eyebrow and Harry smiled "It's nearly 8pm" I nodded blankly.

"What happened?" Harry asked. I studied his face for a moment, had no one realised it was Cho? I shrugged

"I don't know" I lied "must've knocked my earmuffs" Harry nodded and smiled softly

"You should be more careful baby" he smiled and kissed my forehead. Poppy came over a while later and smiled "You're free to go Mr. Malfoy" she smiled "Cho brought your bag up, it's just inside my office" I nodded and grabbed my bag before leaving with Harry straight for our room.

XXX

The next morning I woke with a pounding headache...I rolled over and groaned into the pillow. "Love we have to get up" Harry murmured softly, though he made no move to get himself out of bed.

I sighed and swung my legs over the side before pushing myself to my feet and heading for a shower.

Harry wrapped his arms around my bare stomach and kissed my neck "I can't wait to meet them" he

is voice echoed in the large shower. I smiled and leant against him as he gently rubbed circles on my bump "Come on or we're going to be late" I chuckled as we left the shower and headed for breakfast. Harry hung back to pack his books for the days lessons and agreed to meet me after we had eaten

I settled down with Pansy and Blaise just as the post arrived. I glanced down at my toast – it was making me feel queasy. I jumped as a scarlet red letter landed on my plate, smoking dangerously at the edges. Panic rose within me, a howler? I grabbed the smoking letter and made a mad dash for the door, but not before it exploded into flames. I dropped the burning letter as it took the form of a face and rose in front of me. The loud, booming voice of my father filled the Great Hall, I shied away from the envelope, my mind forgetting that my father wasn't ACTUALLY here with me...

"DRACO MALFOY, I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE ASHAMED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE"

I cringed further away from the letter

"YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE NAME MALFOY"

I wrapped my arms around myself in shame

"YOU DISGUST ME"

I flinched violently at my fathers words and glanced over to the Gryffindor table, Harry hadn't come in yet

"DO NOT RETURN THIS SUMMER, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME OR CONSIDERED A PART OF THIS FAMILY"

I dashed from the hall and ran for the nearest bathroom.

I leant against the sink and splashed my face with water, pulling off my jumper and leaving me in my shirt.

I could feel tears prickling my eyes and a sob tore itself from my throat. Surely I should be happy, I could spend the rest of my life with Harry and no interference from my family...but to be disowned. I choked on another sob and heard the bathroom door open and close, footsteps echoing in the large room as he stepped through the flooded floor. I sniffed pitifully, waiting for Harry to come over and comfort me, tell me everything was going to be alright...after a few long, painful moments, still nothing had happened. More tears streamed down my face and I dropped my head to look at the floor, unable to stare at my own pathetic face in the mirror.

"Draco" I heard a feminine voice hiss, I whipped round – Cho

I didn't say anything but reached for my wand, as soon as I had pulled it from my pocket she screamed

"EXPELLIARMUS!" my wand flew from my hand and landed across the bathroom. I watched her with wide eyes

"You stole someone special from me" she hissed, I shook my head miserably "So I will steal something precious from you" she snarled as I continued to shake my head in disbelief – did she know about the twins?

"N-No" I stammered "Please, please no" I whimpered "Don't, please" I sobbed

"Once I get you away from him, Harry will be mine!" she shrieked

"No, please no" I choked "Don't, please" I cried

"SECTUMSEMPRA!"

I screamed as a blinding pain tore through my chest as I crashed to the floor, gasping for air all thoughts left my mind

I whimpered as blood soaked through to my shirt and on to the water-logged floor, moaning pitifully as I heard the door swing open and slam closed. I groaned in agony as black spots flew across my vision.

Dizziness overtook me as I whimpered a plea for help

"H-Harry" I called out weakly

I heard to door open again and I groaned as the slam echoed in my pounding head.

"Harry?" I mumbled weakly as I began to feel numbness creep up on me, soft murmuring filled the room and slowly the pain ebbed away. I blinked, trying to focus on whoever was leaning over me.

As the pain stopped the stranger spoke "Draco, are you feeling ok?"

It was Snape.

I shook my head slightly.

"I have to get you to Poppy, can you stand?" he asked as he gently pulled me to my feet and picked up my wand for me. My legs gave out as soon as the potions master let go of me, he grabbed onto me before I could hit the floor

"Don't, go, don't leave me" I chattered deliriously

I found myself in a daze as Snape walked me to the hospital wing. I couldn't remember getting there, only arriving to Poppy's concerned fussing

"Lay him on the bed" she commanded. I felt myself being lowered gently on to the bed and suddenly the door burst open and within seconds Harry was at my side.

"Shhh it's ok love" he gently stroked my hair, which was soaked from the water on the floor.

"We need to check the twins" Poppy said urgently pulling over the screen "Harry get Dumbledore"

Harry jumped up but was beside me again as I whimpered "Don't go, please, don't leave me"

"I'll find him" Snape said as he swept from the room

General POV

"Take this Draco" Poppy handed the platinum blonde teen a potion, he was still weak from the curse however and almost as soon as she had let go, the glass fell from his weak grip and shattered on the floor

"I'm sorry, please I'm sorry" he mumbled drowsily as Poppy passed Harry a potion to give to the teen. Harry gently poured the potion into Draco's mouth, making sure not to spill any or choke his boyfriend.

Draco's POV

Moments later Dumbledore and Snape arrived, wasting no time checking on the twins. I felt the queasiness of the magic buzzing around me but I firmly kept my mouth shut.

Poppy sighed in relief "They both appear to be fine" she smiled softly and handed Harry another potion to give to me. "We'll keep you in over night Draco, to monitor the twins, and yourself. That was a nasty curse, I hope you can remember who the culprit was" Poppy watched me closely as I agreed drowsily, but the potions were taking their toll and she could tell I was not really there, darkness was creeping up on me and I willingly embraced it's numbing softness.

XXX

It felt like I had been hit by a train as I woke up slowly. The events of the previous day were hazy beyond Cho screaming her curse. I shivered involuntarily and pulled the blankets closer around myself. A sudden panic overwhelmed me as I reached down to feel my stomach, were the twins ok?

I sighed in relief as my hands brushed over my still swollen stomach and I settled back against the pillows as Poppy walked over

"Ah, Draco, I'm glad you're awake. Everything is just fine, the twins pulled through – Dumbledore thinks their magic protected them from the curse. You lost a lot of blood but nothing a few potions couldn't fix. Though you have been left with some nasty scars" I nodded and thanked the nurse as she handed me a plate of toast which I slowly ate, while waiting for Harry. Who turned up at exactly 7.30 he sat down next to me and took a piece of toast

"Do you remember who it was Draco?" he launched straight in at the deep end. My thoughts raced through my head, tell on Cho? Be a grass and get her most likely expelled? I sighed and shook my head

"I'm so sorry Harry, but I really can't remember" I felt awful lying to him, but would've felt worse if I'd ruined his 'friendship' with Cho, and gotten her expelled. Harry nodded in understanding, and smiled "Well at least you're ok" I nodded and ran my hand over my bump gently

"Why don't we ask Poppy if they're boys or girls?" Harry suggested. I looked at him for a long moment and nodded

Harry jumped up and ran to ask Poppy, who came back with him chuckling "I wondered when you'd ask" she laughed "Come back after dinner tonight and Dumbledore and I will find out for you"

Harry grinned "I'll be back at lunch, love" he kissed me and dashed off to his lessons.

The day dragged, painfully slowly for me, eventually the evening arrived and Harry was with me as soon as dinner was over.

Dumbledore arrived only fifteen minutes later and he and Poppy wasted no time in beginning the spell.

The nurse smiled "Congratulations" she grinned
