Deveraux's School for Magical Beings

Chapter Seven

                  ~Harry Potter~
I sighed, "It's not that I'm objecting to having a male mate, its that I'm objecting to having my masculinity stripped away by becoming pregnant. Is there a way to tell if I'm a carrier before I meet my mate?"
Rapclaw nodded and confirmed, "The inheritance test will tell you what you are and if you're a carrier. If you are a carrier, Harry, its not as if your genitals will be switched. You'll still be a man. Should you get pregnant your bump will not grow that large. Its for your protection and your child's. It will merely look as if you be gained a small bit of weight."
"Isn't that unhealthy for the baby though? Are they underweight? Premature?"
"No, not premature necessarily and there is a different standard for babies born from males. They are smaller, yes, but if you carry them to full term then they are healthy and hearty." He cleared his throat and looked down at the paper in front of him, "Your inheritance test has finished. Would you like to see your results or are you okay with me reading them aloud?"
I flushed, "Could I read them before you read them aloud?"
Rapclaw nodded and replied softly, "Of course, Harry. Here you are."

I let out a slow breath before I handed it back to Rapclaw and questioned, "Please, can you explain some of that in detail? I'm very confused."
He read it over, his eyebrows raising slightly as he did so, and said, "Of course, Harry. Where should I begin?"
I quirked my lips into a smile and questioned, "At the top?"
He chuckled, "Very well. We were correct in the guess that you are a dragonette. That being the usual gift from Lady Magic, you have several gifts. Would you care to help me decipher which have already happened and which will have to be trained?" At my nod he continued, "Wings are obvious, however, have you tested whether they can hold you in flight yet?"
I shook my head, "I haven't really been outside yet sir. When Severus rescued me from my muggle relatives I had a broken wing, you see. My uncle, upon seeing my inheritance, beat me. Luckily I was able to write a letter to Minerva who recognized what had happened and sent Severus to rescue me. The last few days have been spent recovering from my injuries and getting to know Severus and his family."
Rapclaw didn't look happy to hear that but continued, "We know about the protective scales, clearly. Enhanced senses?"
I nodded and explained, "My sense of smell has become heightened and my eyesight has been fixed-I've had dreadful eyesight since I was a child but now I can see for miles. My hearing has also improved quite a bit. Do you have a dragon in the tunnels sir? I think I can hear wings. Maybe those are birds..."
Rapclaw chuckled and agreed, "It could be either. We have both within the building." He cleared his throat before asking, "Night vision?"
I shrugged and said, "It could be but I've never really been in a dark enough room to tell properly."
Severus spoke, "Harry, are you able to see well in your room once I shut off the light?"
I nodded, "Well yeah but I just thought that maybe it was the moon..."
Severus shook his head and denied, "No, I make sure your curtains are closed before bed. Otherwise the sun would wake you up. I do believe the night vision is so well melded in with your regular vision that you don't seem to notice the difference."
A smile spread across my face as I spoke softly, "Wicked..."
