" Saviour of the Wizarding World is a parent

Last night, a wonderful commotion was seen going on in the home of Harry Potter-Malfoy and his husband Draco Malfoy. Many members of the Weasley family - known friends of the Boy-Who-Lived-and the parents of Draco Malfoy, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, were seen Apparating to the home late last night. Two hours later a great celebration was heard inside the home and not much later all of the guests left with many a smile on his or her face. One guest was heard to exclaim, "A baby girl! We'll have to think up a trick just in her honour."

A statement was released by the Malfoy family stating that yes, indeed, Harry Potter-Malfoy gave birth to a female child late in the evening of April sixth. It is stated that Harry Potter-Malfoy and child are in good health and the entire family is in good spirits and excitement over the new addition to their family.

It is not known, however, whether or not this child is full human or is an Indago like her parents. Severus Snape, who is the leading authority on Indago, is one himself and has been living in the Potter-Malfoy home these past two months, could not be reached for comment. The possibility that the child could be an Indago is amazingly low, but there is some consensus, in scholars and readers alike, that says if anyone could do the impossible, it would be Harry Potter.

"How much did they distort?" Snape asked.

Draco put the paper down next to his breakfast plate. "Surprisingly little. In fact, they revealed that they have been spying on the house. I'll have to raise the wards again." He took a sip of his coffee. "Harry won't like it. He says he had to live behind too many wards in his life and now they make him feel as if he is still hiding." Draco shook his head. "Regardless of the fact that Harry is still hiding from the world. It makes no sense, but there's the mind of a Gryffindor for you. Brave but illogical."

"I would imagine his thoughts on the subject have changed, now that he is not protecting himself anymore," Snape said before taking a bite out of a piece of triangular toast.

"True." Draco glanced up at the ceiling. "I'm going up with his tray. Coming?"

"No. I'll be in in a bit. I have some correspondence to handle." Snape set down his tea cup. "Will you be staying home then?"

"Of course." Draco rose to his feet. "I didn't work like a dog for my health. Everything has been arranged and they shall be fine without me for a few days." Draco would not leave Harry alone at this time even if things weren't in order. Harry needed him most now and Draco would be sure that everything was perfect for when Harry emerged from the den.

An owl came in through the window. His father's owl. "Again?" Draco snapped. "How many lectures by paper can I read in a single morning?"

"Parenthood brings many responsibilities to your family and line," Snape stated calmly.

"Yes, I know," Draco said sharply. "It seems to be his closing line in every one of these damn things!" He snatched the missive out of the owl's beak roughly causing it to screech at him and fly off. Tearing open the envelope, Draco scowled as he read, then tossed it on the table.

"The party," he huffed. He looked at Snape. "The Naming Ceremony," clarified. "Father is making arrangements for it to be held a week from tomorrow. He wants it in the morning."

"He may not be ready to present the infant at that time," Snape said, referring to Harry.

"Master Draco?" Ably appeared in the doorway.

"What is it?"

"There are several delivery owls coming, Master Draco," Ably said and pointed out the window. There in the not very distance was a black cloud. The cloud was moving swiftly towards their home and soon all occupants could see the many wings and parcels flying their way towards them.
