My Little Secret

Chapter 4

Harry's POV

Severus and I arrived about thirty kilometers outside the Weasleys house. "See you at school, Harry," Severus says, then he teleports away. As soon as he's gone, I throw up my breakfast. When I finish puking my guts out, I start walking towards the house.

I walk up to the front door and knock. I hear shouting inside. "Ron go fetch the door!" Mrs. Weasley orders. A few minutes later, Ron opens up the door. "Harry!" he exclaims as he engulfs me in a hug. "Hey Ron," I say. He lets me go and leads me inside.

"Hey mum! Look who's here!" Ron yells. All of the Weasleys, except Mr. Weasley, and Hermione come downstairs. "Harry!" Hermione exclaims. She runs over and hugs me. "Oh Harry! Where have you been? Everyone's been searching for you," Mrs. Weasley asks. 

"Oh, I've been out on the streets. I didn't want to stay at the Dursleys, so I ran out. Vernon was extremely upset about his aunt," I reply. Hermione and Ginny look at each other with uneasy expressions. "All that matters is you're safe. Why don't we help you unpack Harry?" Ginny says.

"That would be great, thank you," I reply. Ginny and Hermione grab my bags and take them up the stairs. The Weasley brothers all stay downstairs and wait for us to come back down. As we walk up the the stairs, I have to take a break about a third of the way up.

I sit down on one of the steps, making sure nobody downstairs can see me. "Harry, are you alright?" Hermione asks, sitting beside me with Hedwig. "I'll tell you when we get upstairs and have the least likeliest possibility of being spied on," I reply. "But for now, I just need to rest a minute."

"Then I'll stay with you to make sure that you're okay," she says. I smile and we start back up the stairs. I have to stop three more times before we finally make it to the top. Ginny has already unpacked my luggage and is waiting for us on my bed.

"Finally!" she exclaims. "I was worried that something happened!" Ginny says. She helps Hermione with the rest of my luggage and soon everything is unpacked. "Alright, there you go! All done!" Hermione says. "So what did you need to tell us?"

I sigh as I sit down on my bed. I know I should tell them, but I'm not sure how they'll react. They already know about Draco and I, so maybe they'll take it well like Sirius and Severus. But what if they hate me for it? What if they tell me to get rid of the baby? 

"Harry, is everything alright?" Hermione asks. I wonder why she's asking when I realize I started crying. "Uhm, so you guys know how Draco and I are dating?" I start. They both nod and sit on either side of me. "Well last year, the night I fought the Basilisk, I spent the night with Draco.

"He wanted to treat me, if you know what I mean," I laugh while crying. Hermione and Ginny laugh as well. "I knew you guys would get intimate. I just knew it. That means you are in a serious relationship," Ginny says. I nod.

"But," I continue. "A few weeks ago, the day I went missing, I found out something. Something that doesn't even seem real sometimes." I take a deep breath as I start sobbing and shaking. The girls hug me tightly. "I-I'm pregnant." 

They both stop hugging me and stare at me. "Really?" Hermione asks. I just nod and sob. "That's why you ran from the Dursleys, isn it?" "Yeah. Vernon found the pregnancy tests and I accidentally told him that they were mine," I explain.

"We should tell at least one of my parents or brothers, except Ron of course, since you obviously didn't want him to know," Ginny suggests. "Se— I mean, Snape already knows. He found me crying on the side of the road and brought me here," I lie. 

"How about we tell Fred and George? They're both older, are overprotective of family and friends, can easily lie and cover for you, and are very trustworthy when it comes to you Harry," Ginny says, laughing at the end. "Okay, let's tell them," I agree. "I'll invite them up," Ginny replies. Then she heads downstairs, leaving me and Hermione alone.

"How are you doing Harry?" Hermione asks. "I'm scared," I cry. "I'm scared of what everyone will think when they find out, especially Draco and Ron. I'm also scared for the baby. With Voldemort on the loose, how will it be safe with me? Will I even be able to take care of it with the Dursleys?" 

Hermione pulls me into a hug once more. "Harry, we'll be there to protect you, all the way, and we'll respect whatever decision you make when it comes to the baby. My parents wouldn't mind having you over and I know the Weasleys will always accept you," she says. "And there's always another option." She hesitates. "You could abort it. Only if you wanted, of course."

I stare at her in shock. Even with everything that happened, I never even thought of possibly getting rid of the baby. "Why wound you even suggest that?" I ask, getting very upset. A look of relief crosses her face. "Oh thank goodness! I was worried you might do that!" she sighs.

Then, Fred, George, and Ginny walk in. "I don't understand what you needed us for," Fred says. "Honestly, you seem to have everything under control," George says. "Let us explain. Now sit down and shut up," Ginny orders. The twins smirk at each other. "Yes ma'am," they simultaneously reply.

"I can do it if you want, Harry," Hermione offers. "Yes please," I reply. I start tearing up again. The twins faces immediately drop when the see the tears roll down my face. "Fred, George ... Harry is pregnant," Hermione explains. Their jaws drop. "That's," Fred starts. "Impossible," George finishes. 

I start crying more and lean into Hermione's shoulder. I honestly never knew anyone could cry this much. "Well, it's not impossible, because here he is, baby and all," Ginny says. "You can even tell from the mood swings." I laugh in between tears at her joke. Fred and George give me small smiles.

"Who's the father?" George asks. "And why do you need us?" Fred questions. "Draco Malfoy is Harry's boyfriend and the father," Hermione explains. "And we need you to help cover this up as long as possible from everyone, except the teachers at Hogwarts." The twins have a mischievous look on their faces.

"Of course we'll help you Harry!" Fred exclaims. "It's also a good chance to stick to several people and test out some of our new magical tricks and pranks," George states. I laugh a little more. "Thank you so much. All of you," I say.

"Of course Harry," Ginny replies. "Happy to help!" the twins exclaim in unisons. "We'll always be there for you Harry. Whether it's You Know Who, or baby troubles. No matter what," Hermione says. They all pul me in for a group hug.

It lasts for a couple minutes before we here Mr. Weasley come home. "Now where are all my kids at?" he hollers up the stairs. "Coming dad!" the twins shout back. Hermione helps me clean my face and make it look like I hadn't cried my eyes out several minutes earlier. 

Then we all went downstairs and ate dinner. After dinner, we all talked and chatted all the way up until bed, and even then, Ron, Hermione, and I talked between ourselves. As I fell asleep that evening, I couldn't help but smile as I thought about the joy everyone brought me when they agreed to help me. I have a good feeling about this next year.
