The Drarry parenting/mpreg headcanons nobody ever asked for
(But I still wrote them down because I’m an obsessive loser)
- Draco and Harry start dating years after the Battle of Hogwarts even if they manage to realize their mutual attraction during the 8 year. Mostly because life after a war is a mess, Draco never really redeemed himself in the eyes of the public and he deals with depression and guilt. Harry feels like the whole world started spinning way too fast.
- After one year and a half of living together, Draco just comes up with the idea of becoming parents. (It’s not really accurate. Harry had always dreamed about a family on his own and he’s an amazing father for Teddy, so the children issue came up a couple of times, but Harry just pushed it aside because he thought he would never become reality)
- Draco values the possibility of adoption, but since his past affiliations are still questioned, so he just offers to do it. To bear Harry’s children.
- Of course, Harry is astonished. Men don’t get pregnant! Draco points out that wizards are able to completely change their bodies and take an animal shape for years, even. Harry is astonished. Draco kisses him and promises that everything would be fine and that stuff like that aren’t really unusual in the Wizarding world. The only tricky thing would be tell that to Lucius.
- Of course, it isn’t easy as it seems and it’s dangerous. Draco and Harry go to the best specialists but there are risks and Draco will need to be super-careful. Harry is worried, but healer Luna Lovegood (<3) takes on the case.
- Ofcoursecourse, Hermione does research and discovers *everything* about the issue; Ron gives Harry the best advices about pregnancy problems; Molly starts making little sweaters and Ginny, being the cool aunt in her world tour with the Quidditch team, sends cool cards from everywhere.
- Scorpius and Albus are born on the seventh of July. They are premature and very, very tiny.
- Albus Severus is named after two Headmasters of Hogwarts who are a Slytherin and a Gryffindor and mentors of Draco and Harry. Harry chooses the name Albus to make peace with the past and he does it with hope and gratitude; Draco chooses his godfather’s name.
- Scorpius James is called after Harry’s father and he continues the Black tradition of being named after the stars.
- Draco chooses the Scorpion because his son was about to die and spent his first two weeks in a magical incubator. He was the weaker twin and Draco feared for him.
- The twins left St Mungos a day before Harry’s birthday and were celebrated with a tiny surprise party at home. At midnight their father is also celebrated by his friends and family.
- The following weeks are mostly sleep deprived for both Harry and Draco. Harry decides to take a leave of absence from work to better help Draco. The twins aren’t really terrible, but they are two and Scorpius gets incredibly fussy when he has his little pains and he always wakes up his brother.
- The are, though, the most perfect children ever, according to their unbiased parents, along with their big brother Teddy who is officially a Hufflepuff.
- One September evening Harry comes home late and finds Draco in the garden with the twins. He’s holding Scorpius and talking to him about the stars, while Albus sleeps peacefully in his magical floating sling. He kneels near them and thinks that everything is perfect.
