Losing battle

"Where's Ron?" Dean asked and I bit my lip to stop myself from smiling.

"He's just upstairs, he'll be down in a minute."

"Is he okay?" George asked.

"Yeah he's just getting our surprise ready for you all."

"Surprise?" Luna asked intrigued. I nodded.

"Well what is it?" Pansy asked also intrigued.

"Ron!" I called.

"Coming!" He yelled back and I heard footsteps coming down.

"Everyone." I said just as Ron came into view.

"Meet Noah."

"Oh my god!" I laughed as everyone shot up from their seats.

"How did you- when did you-" Fred stumbled over his words as he saw his younger brother standing there with a baby in his arms.

"Please don't tell me you birthed that kid." Seamus said and Ron rolled his eyes.

"No Seamus. He's adopted. We've been planning it for months, got a recommendation put in by a lovely woman at the adoption agency and we got a letter yesterday saying there was a baby for us."

"He looks just like you both." Harry said and I frowned, "I know that's not possible but he does."

"Can I hold him?" Ginny said half in tears. Ron smiled.

"Of course Gin." He passed Noah to her who already seemed to take a liking to her hair.

"Sorry, baby fever." She said wiping her eyes.

"Well you guys completely ruined our surprise." Hermione said laughing. She pulled a picture out her pocket.

"6 weeks." I gasped.

"No way!" I hugged Pansy.

"Congratulations!"

"Hey it's not mine." She joked, "it's some random guys from the sperm bank." Hermione rolled her eyes at her girlfriend.

"Uh guys." Neville said and Luna held out her hand.

"No way!" We all shouted again at the ring sparkling on Luna's ring finger.

"It was quite beautiful actually, Neville proposed under the stars on the big field. I could tell he was nervous as there were hundreds of nargles floating around his head of course but I did not expect a proposal." We all laughed.

"Well congratulations." Ginny handed Noah over as he held his hands out for me. He stayed there for a moment then took a look around the room and spotted Draco. He held his hands out for him. Draco pointed at himself.

"Me? The kid wants me?" He said and I laughed.

"Apparently so." Draco frowned taking him from me sort just holding him out with his hands. Noah just giggled and Draco's lips curved up into a smirk.

"I like this kid." He said resting him on his hip. I could see harry smiling down at the floor and it made me smile too.

"Life moves quickly don't you think." Ron said and I snaked an arm round his waist.

"Sometimes that's a good thing though." He continued looking at Noah in Draco's arms. As soon as Noah spotted Ron he reached out for him and Draco passed him over. Ron smiled kissing Noah's forehead.

"I love you so much." He said softly.

"We should celebrate everything. Hermione and Ginny's pregnancy's, Neville and Luna's engagement, Noah of course. Everything." And that's what we did. At one point I went upstairs to take Noah to bed and Harry followed me.

"He's so cute." He said looking down at the sleeping boy.

"I know." I smiled.

"You said the something about the lady at the adoption centre giving you a good review. Do you think you could give me her address?" I smiled.

"You thinking of adopting."

"I haven't really spoke to Draco about it." He sighed, "but one of the first things he told me is that he didn't want kids so I don't know." Harry shrugged.

"Draco wants children." I said softly, "He just doesn't want to turn out like his father." Harry nodded,

"I get that but I don't think I'll be able to convince him he won't."

"Draco listens to you Harry. He loves you and he'd do anything for you. Hell you've got him to do more things in four years that I've not been able to do in 19." Harry smiled.

"Thanks Blaise." I smiled.

"No problem Potter."

We returned downstairs and I brought the baby monitor just incase Noah started crying.

"How is he?" Ron asked as I sat down next to him in the sofa.

"Asleep, that's a good sign." Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just want him to feel safe here." He said and I squeezed his hand.

"He does." Ron nodded.

"Harry asked for Amanda's address." Ron's eyes went wide.

"They're thinking of adopting?" He whispered.

"Well Harry wants to run it by Draco, something he's not sure of because Draco said he doesn't want kids but I'm sure they'll be fine. I hope they'll be fine at least." As if on queue Draco walked out the house running a hand through his hair Harry chasing after him. Every conversation stopped and we all went quiet trying to listen to the conversation outside.

"Draco please!"

"Harry I said I didn't want kids can't you just accept that!"

"But you're so good with Noah and I-"

"I had him for five seconds! And Noah's not my kid he's Blaise's!"

"So? Draco you are not your father why can't you just believe me?"

"His blood still runs through my veins Harry! I don't wanna be like him! What if I snap one day and I hurt our child I could never live with myself!"

"But you are not like that! I know it!"

"I don't think you do." There was silence so I assume Draco had walked off. The door opened and Harry came back in pressing his back against the door, eyes closed. No one knew what to say.

"What happened?" Theo asked softly and Harry opened his eyes.

"It's just the same argument over and over and over. I'm sick of fighting a loosing battle." He said a tear slipping from his eye.

"Can I stay here tonight?" He asked looking at me and Ron.

"Of course."
