Choosing godparents



Draco clicked on the link to finish his order and reclined on the chair. He crossed his arms behind his neck and mentally ticked off items on his list. I’ve ordered baby formula, nappies, and the crib. I’ve finished painting the walls of the room.

The blond stood up and made his way to the nursery. He smiled when he saw the bare room that waited for the furniture. There was ample sunlight coming from the window; the gleaming wood of the floor was polished. In the walls there was an animated mural depicting a Quidditch game. Tiny blond figures garbed in green robes chased after several golden snitches.

Harry waddled into the room, a sinister smirk adorning his face. The pregnant man frowned when he saw the diminutive Quidditch players. He took out his wand and with a flourish changed them to tiny brunets wearing red robes.

Draco glared at his husband, but Harry smiled beguilingly. “Did you get the crib?”

“Yes, charged it to our credit card.”

“What about the baby clothes?”

“Mother and Mrs Weasley are going to get them.”

Harry exchanged a smile with Draco. “Hope they don’t get angry. Remember our wedding?”

“Yes. Ron’s brothers tried to break up their fight.”

Harry sniggered. “Charlie and Bill were turned into donkeys! Fleur wasn’t happy.”

The brunet put his hand on his abdomen, smiling radiantly at Draco. “The baby’s kicking!”

Draco knelt on the floor and put his hand on Harry’s belly. When he felt a small movement, he looked up at Harry with awe. The blond leaned forward and spoke softly to the baby. “Try not to kick your daddy too much, baby; only when he deserves it.”

Harry ruffled Draco’s blond hair, too happy to chastise his husband.

At that moment the bell rang. Harry shouted, “Come in, George!”

Turning to Draco, the pregnant man said, “My escort has arrived.”

Draco stood up and brushed his robes, frowning at the tiny brunets chasing the snitches. He said distractedly, “Going somewhere?”

Harry smiled craftily. “I’ve a date with Viktor.”

“Indeed.”

Harry scowled. “That’s all you have to say?”

Draco brushed with his thumb a hoop on the wall, wondering whether to add Bludgers and Beaters to the mural. If Harry has lunch with Victoire, that means Bill and Fleur will be there. They’ll keep him out of trouble… hopefully.

The blond turned to his husband and smiled. “Have fun.”

Harry glared at Draco.

Trying to pique the blond’s curiosity, Harry said nonchalantly, “Have to go now. By the way, I left my email program open.” Harry waved his finger at Draco. “Don’t snoop, you know I hate that.”

“Whatever you say, Harry.”

Draco took out his wand and kissed Harry. “Take care. I don’t want you wandering off. You never know when you might get in trouble.”

Harry walked to the door, wondering if Hermione’s plan to exact revenge was too complicated. Maybe he should just hex Draco and be done with it.

Draco called out to him. “Kiss Vicky for me, will you?”

Harry stomped into the living room, closing the door with a bang.

Draco swished his wand, adding small Beaters and Bludgers to the mural. Now what’s got Harry’s panties in a twist?

HDHDHDHDHDHDHDHDH

After he charmed the Bludgers so they would hit randomly the tiny Gryffindor Seekers, Draco walked back to the living room with a wicked smirk on his face. He sat down at the table and looked quizzically at Harry’s laptop. It was open to his email program.

The blond shook his head and closed the window. Harry should be more careful; everyone could read his messages and find out what he’s up to.

Draco reached his hand to grab one of the toffees which were on a dish near the centre of the table, but changed his mind at the last minute. George was here, I don’t want to become a giant canary like Harry’s cousin. Besides yellow doesn’t become me.

Draco opened the browser to Yahoo’s website and read what was trending. A Muggle prince is getting married today… security measures tight, blah, blah!

The blond smirked wryly. The prince should try getting married to the Saviour of the Wizarding World. I bet they wouldn’t be able to cope with reporters invading the wedding in their Animagus form!

Something caught Draco’s attention, he read intently the item: CDC warns public to prepare for “Zombie Apocalypse.”

The blond shook his head. What are these zombies? Sounds like furry animals to me, perhaps related to ferrets? And what’s this CDC?

Draco researched on Google and found out that it was a reputable American federal agency dealing with disease prevention. He returned to the Yahoo website and clicked the link.

He stared dumbfounded at the text, hardly believing his eyes. Flesh-eating zombies... they eat brains? By Merlin’s beard!

He scrolled down and was quite alarmed by the photos he saw. Those look like Inferi to me, though not as thin. Perhaps the American climate is more congenial for them?

Draco started biting his nails, conjuring all kinds of explanations for the news. He settled on the simplest one. These zombies are American Inferi; the new Dark Lord intends to unleash them on an unsuspecting world. Obviously the American Aurors got hold of this secret and are preparing their citizens.

He sat up with a start, almost falling off his chair. The Royal wedding! The dastardly Dark Lord will attack the Muggles with brain-eating Inferi! Probably he wants to get rid of Harry, the only one who can stop him!

Draco pushed the laptop away from him and stood up, running to the bedroom. Harry’s out meeting with Victoire! The zombies will attack him and the baby! I’ve got to save them!

The blond opened the closet and grabbed Harry’s Invisibility Cloak and a vial of Polyjuice he kept for his secret missions.

He Apparated out of the apartment.

Well, it depends on the zombies on whether Harry's vengeance comes to fruition :)

Just give me a prompt and I'll write them. I need one for each season :)

OMG, that's a brilliant response to the CDC zombie bulletin!!!

(Still loving this series, btw! And what is it that Harry actually wanted Draco to see in his email!?!?!?)

Thank you! The CDC zombie alert was interesting :)

Harry had plans for Draco which will become clear in the next chapter, zombies notwithstanding :)
