The unexpected pregnancy

The next morning we headed to breakfast and I found out he was very clingy in the mornings. VERY clingy.

He sat at the slytherin table with me and made me sit in between his legs pretty much on his lap. In front of EVERYONE so embarrassing. My cheeks were flaming as I ate and Harry sat there with his arms wrapped around me, head on my shoulder and every now and then he’d open his mouth asking for a bite of my food.

And I’d comply because I’m weak for him. At the end of breakfast, Dumbledore appeared behind us and told us to follow him.

We followed and he led us to his office once we entered he tightly told us “As new information has come to light we will be giving you both private quarters with two bedrooms. In preparation for next year there are some boxes with baby things the teachers have put together arriving in the next few days. You will also be permitted to use these quarters for the next two years.”

We both nodded thanking him and he continued just as tightly if not more so, “You will have a small kitchen area in these quarters and a small living area.” We spoke for a while longer before telling us “And Dracona you will be excused from some of your classes for check-ups and things by Madam Pomfrey. As well as Harry if he wishes to join you. But only for a few not all of them.”

I looked at him questioningly “Why can’t he join me for all of them? I have more classes than he does, my homework and catching up will be greater and I’m also a prefect.” I challenged.

“I do believe we both know that Harry may fall behind if he misses so much class.” I was quiet for a moment before asking, “And what about me? What if I start falling behind? Also, why does it have to be on school days? Why can’t they be on the weekends?” Dumbledore looked at me blankly for a moment before answering “Well as you said you take more classes than Harry. I’m sure you would be fine to drop one or two. And Madam Pomfrey does not have the most time on the weekends as opposed to the weekdays” I was enraged at this man’s audacity. I needed those classes for my future. I would not be dropping any of them.

Dracona was mad I could see it in her eyes and feel it in her magic. I was pretty mad as well. The only reason I was ‘falling behind’ was because I purposefully did bad because I didn’t want Ron to get too jealous, he always was that guy you had to be careful about what you accomplished around. Hermione was too.

I might stop talking to them soon if they don’t like me and Dracona’s relationship, or my plans for the future. But right now I don’t care if my friends are jealous. Dracona and our child's futures as well as mine come first.

“I think I’ll go to all the appointments anyway. And I’ll be picking up some extra classes so I’ll need to speak with Professor McGonagall later today.” I decided and grabbed Draconas hand to try to calm her down hugging her into my side as she flushed.

“Come on Princess let’s go we have to get to charms, then you have arithmancy.” I turn around arm on her shoulder and we head out of Dumbledore's office. “And after lunch, we have a free period before transfiguration. And McGonagall doesn’t have a class during that free period so we can go see her together!” I could tell he was angry as we walked out, his magic was flaring but, meh. I couldn’t care less.

We headed for charms but I realized we didn’t have our bags so I just summoned them to us from the Dungeons and we continued on our way to charms.

When we arrived we apologized for being late, but Professor Flitwick already knew we would be from Dumbledore. We sat together and I kept an arm slung over Draconas shoulder keeping her close.

That afternoon after lunch ended we met with Mcgonagall in the great hall and I asked if we could speak with her in her office, she didn’t question it and led us to her office.

While we were headed to Professor McGonagall’s office I realized I had never actually been in her office. I wonder what new classes Harry would be taking. If he was I also wonder how he’s going to keep his grades high enough to stay in any of them. However, he had done better today in charms and it looked more natural. Maybe he was faking the struggle? It would make sense when I thought about it more. The weasel had always been jealous even when you could tell Harry didn’t want the attention. Most of the Slytherin boys didn’t like him because they thought he was attention seeking, the Hufflepuff did too, especially after last year, the boys and some girls. Most of the ravenclaws could see straight through him though.

They could tell he didn’t want any of the attention. Just like I could. The weasel was jealous last year and thought he had put his name in the goblet, but Harry stayed by his side and waited even though weasley did come around he still didn’t believe him in the beginning.

I snapped out of my thoughts when we reached her office and stepped inside, it was decorated in Gryffindor colors on one side though there was a fairness to it and it didn’t take up the whole office. There was a trophy case on one side with achievements of hers and past students, a filing cabinet and a simple desk and chair sat in one corner for detention and confiscated items.

In the middle was her desk a nice redwood color, her chair, and two smaller chairs in front of the desk. We all sat down and McGonagall looked at us expectantly, Harry began to speak “Professor I want to take up some more classes. I need to start thinking more about my future and the future of my family.” She looked quite pensive for a moment before speaking, “Most of the classes you don’t currently take require more work, this means they have a required grade of an E. Are you sure you can handle that?” she held a hand up a hand as Harry opened his mouth Hold on Mr. Potter let me finish. I think that it would be better for you to improve your grades in other classes before I approve for you to take more classes.” Harry had tried interrupting her but she held up a hand to stop him and I hid a laugh.

“Professor I can handle it-“ “Prove it to me by getting the rest of your grades up then I will approve your request.” They bickered for a moment back and forth before I decided to intervene “Professor with all due respect I believe Harry can handle it, you of all people should know how Ronald Weasley gets when people outshine him. I believe Harry only did so badly to try to preserve their friendship. If Harry had been good in all of his classes since the beginning Ronald Weasley would never have stayed friends with him, he would be far too jealous. Like last year, Weasley was jealous Harry got chosen to participate in the Tournament even when you could tell Harry did not want to participate.”

Harry creased his eyebrows in confusion and disbelief. I guess he doesn’t understand why I would do something like that for him. But him saying he wanted to start thinking about our future as a family sent butterflies straight through my stomach and him thinking about it at all meant he did really want me and our child, it was confirmation.

Professor McGonagall sighed rubbing her temple and contemplating the decision.

After about 2 minutes she inspected us with a hard look in her eyes as we sat in those two seats. Eventually part of the hardness in her scrutinous gaze faded away “All alright. Get your grades and performance up in classes this week, only then will I approve you to take up more classes. As long as Mr. Potter completes his work inside and outside of class the entire rest of this week and next and I can see his determination to put forth an effort in his classes he may drop and take up more classes. Do you both understand?”

“Yes Professor.” we both stated. I could tell he was a little deflated at being told he’d have to wait until the end of next week before he could take up more classes “however, I do plan to drop Care of Magical Creatures and Divination so that I can take up more classes and because they won’t help me get anywhere and aren’t useful. Do I still have to try in those?” Harry asked gruffly slouching back into his chair.

“You do not in Divination but do try in Care of Magical Creatures. Personally do not care for Divination and know that many cannot take it because they simply do not have the correct skillset for it. However, I will tell you to continue in Care because that will add a little more to your workload. We can discuss next Friday what classes you would like to take up and I will see if I can approve of them. If your grade is not high enough in other classes though I cannot help with that and you shall be unable to take the class until your grades are high enough.”

I nodded as McGonagall spoke and once she was finished Harry said “I understand Professor.”

As we stood up I remembered we didn’t know where our private quarters were “Professor, do you know where our private quarters are, we haven’t been told?” McGonagall looked a bit startled but said “I do, but I believe Professor Dumbledore was supposed to show you this morning. Nonetheless, I will show them to you.” Professor McGonagall stood with us and ushered us out of her office and up the stairs to the 6th floor and to a painting of a lord standing behind a chair with his pregnant lady sitting in the chair. Quiet fitting.

“The password is currently ‘knightly’ but you may change it whenever. Just ask an elf. They will be able to change it.” as she said ‘knightly’ the painting slid open and inside was a quaint living room. Two doors branched off of the room, both on the left-hand side. While there was a small archway behind the couch leading into a small kitchen.

We both walked inside and the portrait closed behind us Professor McGonagall turned around outside to leave us alone.

The living area had a fireplace opposite the archway with a small wooden shelf sitting slightly above it, the walls were painted a pale blue with light wooden floors, and in front of the fireplace sat a couch and reading chair, both black leather with white pillows sitting on them and a green blanket of mine laying across the back of the reading chair. There were bookshelves lining the right-hand wall, only a small portion of it had books on it and they were all parenting and children's books I could tell from the spines and illustrations on the front of a few I picked up.

Through the archway into the kitchen, there was a small round redwood dining table with four comfortable-looking dining chairs surrounding it in the right corner of the room while the left and wall across from the archway were both covered in counters and cabinets. The counters were made of white marble the walls were a pastel greenish blue color and all the cabinets were made of redwood as well while the floors were black and white marble tile. There was a sink in front of the window and a few pots and pans in the cabinets as well as cups and silverware.

Through one of the doors was a deep blue room with one window and creme-color-carpeted floors. One king-sized bed with a black headboard and white sheets with a silver comforter I recognized as mine as well as a few small pillows that couldn’t be mine so they had to be Harrys’ and one end table on each side of the bed both with a small lamp sitting on top. An ebony dresser and crimson-colored armchair with a small creme circular pillow and a bookshelf in a corner next to another smaller one. The window had yellow curtains. There was also an ebony desk on the wall by the door entering the room. Another door was against the wall with the bed close to the desk. Inside was a gold and white marble bathroom that also led into the room next to ours.

In the room next to ours was an unfurnished gray room. The room we get to turn into a nursery for our baby. I’m so excited, I already have ideas for what to put in there.

As we both look around our new Private Quarters I notice the light in Dracona’s eyes and the smile forming on her face. It was so gentle and full of genuine joy and wonder it took a lot in me to look away. She looked stunning, stood in that gray room with a single hand resting on her stomach and that soft, beautiful smile on her face. As I wondered what that look was for I vowed to myself that I would learn what every expression on her face and every thought that went through her head was and be able to disyfer it in an instant.

She didn’t notice me as I walked up behind her. Only when I was wrapping my arms around her waist and placing my hands over the one sitting on her stomach, I sat my chin on her shoulder and whispered “What are you thinking Darling?” she leaned her head back eyes closed, “I’m thinking about what we should put in here and how we should decorate. Oh! We should paint one of the walls with fluffy clouds and then put little dragons and snakes! Or owls! I’m not sure what you would like but I want dragons to be on the clouds. What do you think?” she looked over at my face eyes bright as she rambled.

“I think we should do dragons and snakes. Maybe a couple owls flying around. Dragons for you and snakes for me. It’s perfect.” I couldn’t have helped the smile that was on my face if I tried. Dracona relaxed and leaned her head against his shoulder for a bit. But, soon we had to go back to class, neither of us wanted to leave the other but we had different classes and it was inevitably going to happen.

As I left our Private quarter with Dracona I hugged her before we parted ways, she was going to Ancient Runes and I had Divination her Pureblood mask was in place but I could see the light in her eyes as she hugged me back before turning around and leaving. I sighed watching her leave before heading up to divination, ron was going to be mad. I mean I did kind of ditch him but he had hermione and I always feel like a third wheel with them.

He should be fine but he has been really jealous of my fame even though I didn’t ask for it, and I do agree with what Dracona said he probably would have been jealous of me if I had taken similar classes as hermione. And I’ve known that hermione would have too if I had really done my best in my other classes, I would have scored higher in our year than she does. She never liked being shown up by anyone, especially in classes.

They would live and I would too, I’m not giving up my future family for my friends. It's just not going to happen. They had their own thing going on and I have my thing going on, I'm happy and they can suck it. Actually no, I would rather they didn’t I'll save that for Dracona.
