Marked Without Meaning ep 2

Grimmauld Place was too quiet when Harry stumbled in, robe clutched tightly around him, head still spinning.

He’d scrubbed himself raw in the shower. Brushed his teeth twice. Burned the bedsheets with a cleansing charm. But none of it worked. The scent still clung to him.

Draco Malfoy

He flopped on the couch, pressing his face into a cushion, and groaned loudly.

He’d slept with Malfoy. Let him scent him. Let him inside—*

No. Stop.*

His stomach turned.

He needed tea. And sleep. And to never think about this again.

He barely made it to the kitchen before a loud pop announced Hermione’s arrival.

“Harry? Are you okay? You didn’t show up to the Order check-in—”

She froze when she saw him.

hermonie/ harry frnd

“Oh no.” Her voice dropped

hermonie/ harry frnd

"is it's "????

Harry just nodded

Hermione rushed to his side, wrapping her arms around him, leading him to a chair.

"I felt your wards go weird yesterday,” she said. “I thought you might be close to a crash.”

Harry stared at the floor.

. “I went to Vesper.”

Hermione inhaled sharply. “

“Harry—”

harry Potter / omega

“I was careful. I was glamoured. No one knew it was me.”

hermonie/ harry frnd

"…Did you bond?”

harry Potter / omega

He shook his head. “No bite. No claim. Just—” He broke off.

Hermione gently touched his arm.

hermonie/ harry frnd

"Did he hurt you?”

Harry swallowed.

harry Potter / omega

. “No. He was… kind. Strange, I know.”

She waited. And then:

hermonie/ harry frnd

"Who??? "

He didn’t answer.

"…Was it someone you know?”

harry Potter / omega

"Yes"

hermonie/ harry frnd

"Harry "

He looked up.

harry Potter / omega

"It was Draco Malfoy.”

Hermione blinked.

hermonie/ harry frnd

“I—what?”

harry Potter / omega

“I didn’t know until morning. He was masked.”

She sat back, stunned.

hermonie/ harry frnd

“Well. That’s… unexpected.”

. ...

Three days later, the nausea started.

Harry lay on the floor of his bathroom, forehead against the cool tile.

It couldn’t be. He’d taken post-heat potions.

But something felt wrong.

He called Hermione.

An hour later, she returned with two wands and a diagnostic spell.

She didn’t speak for a long time after the result glowed pale blue in the air between them.

“…You’re pregnant,” she said softly.

Harry closed his eyes.

And for the first time since the war, he felt truly afraid.
