My Little Secret

Chapter 3

Harry's POV

I jump backwards and fall over. Sirius rushes over and helps me up. "Sorry, I didn't men to frighten you," he says. I just nod as I look over him. He looks like every other ordinary person. "Why don't we go inside?" "Okay," I reply.  

We stand in front of the apartment complex, when suddenly, the building expands. Once it's finished, Sirius starts walking forward. "You coming?" he asks. I nod and join him as he enters the apartment. It's old and musty, but otherwise nice. It looked like no one had lived here in a long time.

"This is my house. I know it's not much of anything, but I do hope you can be happy here while you stay, and one day I hope we can live here together," Sirius sighs. "But enough of that. Let me show you to your room." He leads me to the second floor and opens the second door on the left. 

Inside the room on the left wall is a full size mattress on a dark, antique, wooden bed frame with a matching nightstand beside it. The right wall contains a matching antique dresser with eight drawers. On the far side of the dresser is a doorway that leads to a closet and a full bathroom.

"I know it isn't extravagant, but I hope it takes to your liking," he says. "Supper will be ready soon. Also, I have to warn you about our house elf. He's a little temper mental, but since you're family, he will listen to you." Then, Sirius goes back downstairs, leaving me to my thoughts.

Is he really a murderer? He's so kind and gentle to me. But why does he treat me so? I wonder why he was is in Azkaban. And how exactly did he escape the most secure prison in the world? I ponder these things as I put my things away. I finish quickly and sit down on my new bed. It's much better quality than the one the Dursleys gave me, and it's much older, too.

After several minutes, Sirius calls me for dinner. I stand up, and as I try to walk, get very dizzy. I must not have eaten enough today. I don't recall actually eating anything, and then I threw up, which probably didn't help.

I slowly and cautiously walk down the stairs to the dining room where I smell the food. When I hit the bottom, my knees buckle and I collapse. Sirius must have heard me hit the floor because he comes rushing to my aid.

"Are you alright?" he asks as he helps me up and to the dining room table. "Yeah," I reply. "Just a little dizzy." "What happened?" Sirius questions. "I was really dizzy because I haven't eaten all day, and when I hit the bottom of the staircase, my legs gave out and I fell," I explain.

Sirius nods and serves us dinner. I notice he puts out three bowls instead of two. I'm about to ask who else is coming when I hear the door open. "Severus! Just in time! Come greet Harry and sit down for dinner," Sirius exclaims.

Snape enters the kitchen and eyes me oddly. I'm probably pale as hell and look awful. "Hello Harry," he greets. "Hi," I manage. I feel like shit, so I can't do much more. Snape and Sirius take a seat and we start eating. The table is quiet except for the clinking of the spoon against the soup bowl.

I decide that now would be the best time to ask Sirius my questions. "Uhm, Sirius?" I say. He looks up at me. "Yes, Harry?" he replies. "I was wondering how you came to be in Azkaban, why you're so kind to me if you're supposedly a murderer, and why Professor Snape is here," I question.

He takes a deep, nervous breath before he begins. "Well, I was falsely accused if selling out your parents to You Know Who. The real culprit was some one else, which isn't important right now. I'm so kind to you because I am your godfather and want to take care of you," Sirius answers.

"And Severus is here because he is my husband," he says. My jaw hits the table. I look back and forth between the two of them. "That's ... surprising," I say. "I had fallen in love with your father, while Severus had fallen in love with Lily. I gave up on James after he first talked to Lily. Compared to her, I had no chance.

"Severus waited until they were engaged. I had already taken a liking to him during that time, and we soon started dating a week before your parents wedding and announced it there. Not long after, Severus proposed and we got married. Then the second wizarding war took place, and I went to Azkaban. That's our story," Sirius explains.

"And why exactly are you here, Harry? Everyone is searching for you," Snape asks. "I was running away from the Dursleys when I received a letter from Sirius asking me to meet with him near my house. When we did, he gave me the address and some instructions, then left.

Then, the Knight Bus showed up and brought me here," I reply. "Why were you running away? Was it about what happened with your aunt?" Severus interrogates. "No, it was because of something I don't want to talk about," I say, suddenly not very hungry. I know I have to eat, though.

"Don't worry Harry! You can tell us," Sirius reassures. "We promise not to judge you, whatever it may be." Maybe I should tell them. They can help me out and Snape can talk with Dumbledore and McGonagall. "I-I'm p-pregnant," I stutter. Sirius drops his spoon in his bowl and Snape's eyes widen.

"You all probably hate me now! You can just get rid of me like the Dursleys!" I cry. "We wouldn't do that, Harry," Sirius replies. "We were just shocked, that's all. We didn't think that was what you were going to say."

"Who's is it?" Snape asks, though I can tell by his expression that he already knows, or has and idea of whose it is. "It's Draco Malfoy's," I mumble. "And how did that happen?" Sirius asks. "We're dating. Since you're married and grown men, you probably know how exactly it happened," I reply.

Sirius laughs and Snape smiles. "Well, since this baby is only going to have one set of grandparents, we're going to need to be there for him, huh Severus?" Sirius says. "Yes indeed," Snape responds. "And unless we're in public, Harry, call me Severus."

I nod as small tears roll down my face. "Thank you both so much. I don't know what I would've done if you guys hadn't helped me or accepted me," I cry. "Don't worry about it Harry," Sirius replies. "Just remember the both of us will always be here for you. Now finish eating. You haven't eaten all day and that's not healthy for you or the baby."

I nod and return to my food as Sirius and Severus continue talking, mostly about current events and old friends. After dinner finishes, Severus leaves. He'll be coming back in a week, though, to drop me off at the Weasleys, since Sirius is still an outlaw and I can't be caught with him.

Sirius helps me upstairs and into bed. "Hey, Sirius?" I say. "Yes Harry?" he replies as he finishes prepping the bed. "Why do you think I'm able to get pregnant?" I ask. He quickly finishes what he's doing and sits beside me on the bed.

"Has Severus or Dumbledore talked to you about Voldemort's magic being transferred to you?" Sirius questions. I nod in reply. "Well, I think that not only some of Voldemort's magic was transferred to you, but some of your mother's, too.

"Her magic is the magic of life. Not only had she recently given birth to you, but she also gave her life to save yours. When her magic was transferred, all she thought was about how she loved you, her baby, and how she wanted you to live. So I think that Lily's magic inside you is what gives you the ability to get pregnant," Sirius explains.

"Alright," I respond. "Thank you, Sirius." "No problem Harry. Goodnight," Sirius says as he heads back downstairs. "Goodnight Sirius," I reply. Then I get ready for bed. Once I'm finished, I lay down. As soon as my head hits the pillow, I'm asleep.

The week passes by more quickly than I want it too. And soon enough, it's time to say goodbye. "Don't worry. I promise, once this is all sorted out, we'll live together as a family, okay?" Sirius says. "Bye Sirius," I say. We hug and then I join Severus and outside, who's ready to take me to the Weasleys. "Let's go, Harry," Severus says, and then we're off.

I hope you all enjoyed the third chapter of my Drarry book! Sorry if this chapter is a little (okay maybe not a little) cringe. If there are any grammar mistakes, please point them out kindly and I will fix them. That's all for today! Thanks and Enjoy! ✌️
