"Are you marrying him because you're pregnant with his baby?"

Eighteen year-old, Mafalda Prewett was in the Burrow's kitchen with her twenty year-old cousin, Ginny Weasley. It was about midnight. Everyone else was sleeping.

"I really love him," answered Mafalda. "You know, like you and Harry."

"But, you're eighteen while Viktor is twenty-four."

"Yeah, but you're twenty, while Harry is twenty-one!"

"That's a one year difference! You are six years younger than Viktor! He was your professor at Hogwarts!"

"Yeah," said Mafalda. "But, I didn't have feelings for Viktor until I left school. An age difference doesn't mean nothing, you could be fifty while someone is twenty. It's love."

"I guess," said Ginny. "Why aren't you waiting until the baby is born to get married?"

"Me and Viktor want this baby born into this world with married parents."

"That's a good decision," said Ginny. "I like how you're having your wedding in December. During "the most wonderful time of the year!""

Mafalda and Ginny laughed.

"Do you think Viktor will be a good father?" asked Ginny.

"Of course! Do you see him with Victorie? She's his goddaughter but he treats her like one of his own. You've seen the gifts he has bought her."

"Yeah," Ginny said. "You are a very lucky girl."

Mafalda smiled. "I never thought I would end up with the most famous Quidditch player in the world, who is now a Transfiguration professor!"

"You got a good taste in men, while he's got a good taste in women."

"Very funny. I remember my first year at Hogwarts. Remember, the Triwizard Tournament. I remember the Durmstrang ship coming towards the castle, I remember everyone in awe when they saw Viktor. I wasn't brought up in the wizarding community, so I didn't know who he was. He was taller than me, and still is! He was quiet, though. I remember him going after Hermione the entire year."

"Did you have a crush on him back then? Just like any other girl?"

"I thought he looked cute," said Mafalda. "But I never pictured myself with him. I pictured this woman who has dark brown hair, thin, and his height. And plus, why would he want a Slytherin?"

"He sat at Slytherin table the first night. I remember that."

"Yeah. I was nowhere near him. I was on the left end of the table, near the headmaster's podium. Everyone just kept glancing at him."

"Well," said Ginny. "Seven years later."

"I knew Viktor since my fifth year," said Mafalda. "But as a teacher student thing. I was kind of shocked that the most famous Quidditch seeker in the world is my Transfiguration teacher. Well, about the end of July, I bumped into him while I was shopping in Diagon Alley. He invited me for a drink in the Leaky Cauldron, we talked for a couple of hours."

"Ooh la la!"

"Shut up, Ginny! Anyways, he moved to London after the term ended, so he invited to his house."

"Nice place?"

"Amazing place! It was like a mini castle! His broomstick was inside a glass case with his Quidditch robes. He had many trophies around the house. And, we just talked."

"Talking about?"

"What I have done after seventh year, his retirement from Quidditch, and the things we have in common."

"Did you find it strange talking to your former professor?"

"At first, yeah. But as time went by, I thought of him as a friend, and not a professor."

"So, what happened after that?"

"He got his driver's license, so he drove me home."

"Viktor Krum knows how to drive?!"

"Yeah, he learned about a year ago."

"Good driver?"

"Good for a beginner."

"Okay, okay," Ginny said. "When did it become all romantic?"

"Well, he invited me to dinner at this fancy restaurant in like the beginning of August. Great dinner, we talked about what we wanted to do with our lives, what our families were like."

"Good conversation."

"Yeah," said Mafalda. "So, we went out on a couple of more dates. And, I started getting feelings for him. I already knew he had feelings for me, I just wasn't sure if I want to have a relationship with him. In the middle of August, he invited me to his house. I was already there like about ten times. I went, and he told me his true feelings he has for me. He is such a softy."

"Is he? I never thought of Viktor Krum as a "softy!""

"Me neither! Anyways, he told me he loves me, and I told him I began getting feelings for him. He kissed me on the cheek, but he kissed me on the cheek every time he's seen me. But, this was a longer kiss. I looked into his eyes while he looked into mine. I'm like, "he has such beautiful eyes!""

"I've noticed!"

"Yeah! So, I leaned closer towards Viktor. He leaned closer towards me, and then, we kissed. And after that, I got pregnant!"

"Wow! How did you tell Viktor you were pregnant?"

"Well, it was the end of August. I went to his house again, we were watching tv, and ate dinner. After dinner, I had to tell him. So I told him, "Viktor, I'm pregnant.""

"Did he choke on his food!"

"No, he was calm, relaxed, but his eyes became huge! I think he was just in shock. I think he never thought he was going to have a kid. He was happy, excited."

"That's sweet."

"I know! So, during the end of August and middle of September, I visited and slept over at his house. I was living with my parents, they were so happy for me."

"They didn't think you were too young?"

"My mum has this thing where she says "You become pregnant at any age because you are ready to have a baby."" Like, if your thirty and having your first baby, you're ready for a baby."

"I get it."

"So, Viktor was saying that I should move in with him. I was very close with him and I was only with him for about a month or two."

"Yeah," said Ginny. "But you first met him in '98? So, you knew him for about three years."

"I was thinking if I should move in with my baby's father or not? He wanted to become involved in this baby's life, which is a great thing! But, my parents wanted me to stay with them, but told me to follow my heart."

"And?"

"I moved in with Viktor in the middle of September. You already know that! He was such a gentleman, too! So, it's like the end of September we were in downtown London walking around. We went on the London Eye, and when we were at the top. He proposed."

"On knee?"

"No," said Mafalda. "I didn't want men who wanted a proposal bigger then the wedding! So when I saw that beautiful ring, I began to cry. I said yes."

"That's romantic," said Ginny. "And now it's the end of November and you're getting married next month!"

"Yeah," said Mafalda. "It has been the best year of my life." She got up from the kitchen table. "I gonna' get some rest."

"Okay," said Ginny. "I'm going to finish cleaning the dishes. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."
