Chapter 1 Instant Fatherhood
Harry Potter had to grow up over the summer. Not because of Voldemort and his Deatheaters and not because he was coming of age in the Wizarding world, but because he got a girl pregnant. The night before Dumbledore picked him up before the start of his sixth year, Jill a nearby neighbor had shown him what sex was. They had done "it" twice that night. She had assured him that she had taken care of "protection" from the very thing that had happened.
After almost a year of extra work and Dumbledore's death, Harry was not in the mood to deal with his family. So he was surprised that instead of arriving at Privet Drive, they pulled up to Jill's house. He had gotten a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. Uncle Vernon literally pulled him from the car and up to the front door of the house. Jill's father answered the door. He did not look happy and allowed them in. Harry saw Jill's mother and Jill sitting in the Drawing room. Jill was holding a baby and Harry knew what had happened.
No tea was offered, just Jill's father getting straight to the point. "It would seem that you and my daughter got to know each other very well boy. I want to know what you intend to do about it."
"What do you want me to do? Marry her?"
"Yes"
Harry sighed. He couldn't and wouldn't marry Jill. Voldemort would kill her the moment he found out. "I won't marry him Daddy. I've already told you that" stated Jill.
"Then the boy will have to go to a home. I will not have him here any longer!"
A boy! He had a son and they wanted him to go to a home. Over his dead body they would. "I'll take him." Every pair of eyes in the room turned to look at Harry.
Uncle Vernon however had other ideas. "You are not! You are not bringing another FREAK into my home. He'll go to a home and there is nothing that you can do about it!"
"Do that and you'll wish that you had never laid eyes on me, let alone being born! One night in your house that's all then we'll leave." Jill's mother had left the room and returned with a baby carrier and a diaper bag.
"I named him Michael and he was born on April 21st" said Jill handing over the baby to Harry. Michael looked a great deal like Harry, messy black hair and vibrant green eyes. The little imp smiled up at him and Harry lost his heart. Jill showed him how to fasten the carrier once the baby was in it. Then grabbing the carrier and the diaper bag he walked out the door and got into the car and into a new life.
The ride to the house was quiet and filled with tension. Uncle Vernon looked like a volcano waiting to erupt. As soon as the car stopped Harry had his son upstairs in his room. He quickly returned to grab his trunk and Hedwig and her cage before his uncle could destroy them. Once in his room his Uncle took great delight in locking them in.
For now the baby was asleep but Harry didn't know how long that would last. He had never been around a baby before. He needed help but really didn't want any of this to be known. His son's life would be in more danger if word got out about him. Harry knew that Mrs. Weasley would help but he didn't want to experience her disappointment in him. Hermione also would help, but probably had no practical experience. She would need to read every book on child care before hand. Ron would just explode. Moony would help, but couldn't be around for the full moon. Harry didn't know too many of the other Order members to ask. This was his problem and responsibility. He was going to have to do this on his own and keep it as quiet as possible because 'The Savior of the Wizarding World' is not supposed to be an unwed father at sixteen.
