Minerva was walking down the North Corridor when she felt odd, strange even. Then she collapsed. "Minerva? Are you alright? We need to get you to the hospital wing." Snape said next to her side ready to aid her. "No, no I am fine Severus. I do not need to go to the hospital wing, I am fine." McGonagall said, getting up. "Minerva, you have been acting strange lately, I am taking you to the hospital wing, just let Poppy check on you please." Severus said, genuinely concerned. "Fine." McGonagall said in defeat.
They went down to the Hospital Wing, Severus holding Minerva's arm the rest of the way. "Poppy, Minerva's weak. Just check-up on her please." Snape said sitting her down. "I am fine Severus, really." McGonagall said, assuredly. "Ah, I don't want to hear it Minnie. You've been eating a lot lately, and have been in pain lately too, not to mention the mass amounts of sleep you've been getting." Poppy said getting the last student in check. "Thank you Severus, you may leave I think I know what's going on here. Minnie I'm going to give you a pregnancy test." Poppy said shooing Severus out.
"Pregnancy test? I AM not pregnant!" Minerva said defiantly. "Well you're about to find out, I know it's only been three days since Elphistone's death." Pompfrey stated facts. "I know…" Minerva said, wanting to cry. "Minerva! I can't believe this! You're pregnant, Minnie! Minnie, this is amazing!" Poppy said jumping up and down excitedly. "WHAT?!" Minerva shouted frantically. "No, no, no this can not be happening. No oh, no." Minerva continued. "Maybe, we should talk to Albus about this." Poppy said, trying to calm the normally stern up-tight professor.
Pompfrey leaded the pregnant professor up towards the headmasters office. "Sit down right here, Minnie." Pompfrey, said sitting her best friend down. " What's going on Poppy?" Albus said looking at a worried McGonagall. "I'm pregnant…" McGonagall said, shaking. "Wh-What?" Albus said startled. "Now, Minnie you really only have two options. You can abort, or give the baby up for adoption." Poppy said, almost crying. "NO! I am keeping this child! If I were to abort the child, I would be no better than Tom Riddle himself, and I am not giving her away to some strangers! I am going to raise my own child, damn it! I will not settle for any less!" Minerva shouted enraged that Poppy could even say such a thing. "Minerva, I am afraid we have no choice. You can't raise a child. You know nothing about raising any child under eleven. She or he could be in danger if you raise her, Tom Riddle is at large." Albus said.
"Damn it, Albus I am not getting rid of my daughter or son!" Minerva said, crying slapped Albus, then ran. There was only one place she knew she could find solace. "Rolanda! Open up, please." Minerva said crying. Rolanda opened the door to see her best friend crying, lost. She brought her best friend inside, sat her down and made some tea. "What on earth is going on Minnie?" She said, handing McGonagall a fresh brewed cup of spear-mint tea. "Oh where do I begin?" Minerva said frantically, then began to explain what had just happened. "Dear oh, dear…" Hooch said shaking her head, in response to what her friend was telling her. "That's when I came here. Oh, Rolanda what do I do?" Minerva finished. "Just, wait it out I guess, but for now we should head back to the castle." Rolanda said getting up.
They headed into the castle, by which time was dinner. "I am sorry Minerva, about earlier. I should have never asked such a high order of you." Albus said. "It's fine…" Minerva said, suddenly not hungry. "You should eat, you are eating for two after all." Albus said, digging in to his own dish. "No, I think I'm going to turn in early. We will talk about my little girl in the morning." Minerva said, standing from her table. "How do you know the baby's a girl?" Albus questioned. "I just know… somehow." Minerva said smiling, leaving for her quarters.
