Blaise carried Harry in his arms towards their apartment and froze as he heard the sound of Umbridge clearing her throat. "Hem. Hem. Mr. Zabini. Mr. Nott... What is that there?" The sickeningly sweet voice of the toad looking lady came from behind them.

"Er... Our baby?" Blaise handed Harry off to Theo and stood in front of them. He had schooled his face into an impassive expression. He was not going to give her the satisfaction of upsetting him.

"A baby? Why was I not informed of this?" Umbridge's tone said someone would get in trouble. This was information that Cornelius Fudge would want to know.

"Because we aren't required to inform anyone other than our head of house." Blaise made a signal to Theo who turned and ran down a secret passage.

"What?!" Umbridge stared as Theo vanished. "Detention, Mr. Zabini and for Mr. Nott too!"

"Can't give us detention because we thought you were going to attack our child. A parent has a right to flee in face of serious injury or fear of injury without fear of repercussions. Section 28 subsection 12 C." Blaise quoted a law book he read, turning and walking away. He disappeared down a corridor and then behind a tapestry, appearing near their apartment and going in by Harry and Theo.

"Are you okay?" Theo had been biting his lip, looking anxious. He had heard about what Umbridge had been doing in detentions.

"Yeah I'm fine. Don't worry, Theo." Blaise shook his head, sitting next to Theo and smiling at him reassuringly. "Where's the baby?"

"He's sleeping in our bed. It's so good to have him home." Theo grinned slightly. "Poor baby had the Wizarding Flu."

"He's okay now, right?" Blaise frowned, remembering being vaccinated against the Flu.

"Yeah. Andromeda Tonks fixed him up." Theo was smiling again, curling up to Blaise's side.

"Good... He probably was so miserable." Blaise stroked Theo's hair, wondering absentmindedly if his mother would accept him courting Theo.

"And now he's crying for us." Theo's ears had picked up the sound of their child crying for them. He stood up and Blaise followed, opening the door and entering the room.

"What's the matter, Harry?" Blaise addressed the child, going and picking him up. He looked concerned with the baby.

"Dark." Harry didn't like the dark after getting used to having people holding him while he sleeps. 

"It's okay, Harry." Blaise sat down, holding Harry closely and smiling at him. "The dark is your friend. It allows us to sleep." He ran his fingers through Harry's soft hair, not saying anything else until the child fell back asleep. "Tired Theo?" Blaise looked faintly amused, seeing Theo yawning.

"Shush. It's been a long day." Theo undressed in the bathroom and then came back, laying down and getting comfortable next to Blaise and Harry. "Goodnight." He closed his eyes, curling under the blankets.

"Goodnight, Theo." Blaise shifted down, resting Harry on his chest and closing his eyes.

~Next morning~

Severus Snape was woken up by the door guardian calling for him. He grunted, putting on his dressing gown and sweeping over to the door. Severus opened it and stared at who he saw. "Minister Fudge... What are you doing here?" He chose to ignore Umbridge.

"I was informed Mr. Zabini and Mr. Nott have a baby. And that Mr. Potter hasn't been attending his classes." Minister Fudge said pompously.

"You would need to talk to Professor McGonagall about Potter not attending classes. And they do have a child." Severus crossed his arms, face in his usual scowl.

"Why would they have a child with no birth record, no record with the healers either?" Umbridge butted in with a nasty smile. She had done her research to see which of them had carried the baby.

"I am not at liberty to say. I will not break confidentiality laws." Severus shut her down, not afraid of the toad woman. "Nor the trust of my students."

"Oh come on, Severus!" Fudge shouted. "You need to tell us right now."

"I do not have to and I'll thank you not to yell at me, Minister." Severus' eyes gleamed with a malicious light. "It is not my information to give and I am required to keep it confidential."

"Think about what you are doing, Severus." Umbridge simpered nastily.

"I am Lord Prince. Last of my line." Severus decided to claim his title for the first time, feeling a rush of magic. "They have my sanctuary." He had said some very important words.

Fudge sputtered, face turning purple before he turned and walked away while being followed by the toad woman. Severus sagged against the wall. "What have I gotten myself into?" He shut his door again, going and sinking on the couch. The new Lord Prince stood up and floo'ed to Gringotts to talk to the Goblins.
