Katie hugged her knees to her chest. It was a warm day, one of the few at Hogwarts. She sat beneath a tree, watching younger years play. Some read, some studied, and some just played. The Weasley twins were off goofing around by the lake. But the happiness hadn't quite reached Katie. To her, the day should be overcast with tension in the air. She had something to tell her boyfriend, and she really wasn't sure what he would do.

As if summoned by her thoughts, Oliver Wood plopped down beside her. She leaned onto his shoulder, and he put his arm around her shoulders. Katie whispered,

"Oliver..." He looked at her, a 'go on' expression on his face. Katie took a deep breath,

"Oliver, I really don't know how to say this." She sighed

"What?"

"I just told you that I don't know how to bring it up, how can I tell you?" They laughed, Katie a little nervously.

"Seriously though, Kates. Just tell me as bluntly as you can and I'll—"

"I'm pregnant." The words almost flew from her mouth. Oliver was speechless. Katie stared down at her knees. Oliver tightened his hold on her shoulders, bringing her closer to him. Katie leaned into his side, crying. He brought his other hand around to pat her back as he whispered,

"Wow… You're having a baby. Wait, we're having a baby." Katie nodded into his shoulder as her tears slowly disappeared. He gently brought her face out of its hiding place, using his thumb to wipe away the remaining tears. Katie sniffed, hopelessness filling her face. Oliver gave her a small smile, which she returned, thought slightly wetter. He cupped her cheek in his hand and said quietly,

"Hey. We're having a baby! A beautiful baby with a wonderful mother, not a half bad father, and a love for Quidditch." Katie laughed at the last bit. Oliver's grin widened as he said,

"There we go. At last a laugh out of my mother-to-be." Katie kissed him, and he happily responded. When they pulled apart, Oliver smiled before his face turned to one of pure horror. Katie frowned,

"What is it?"

"You can't play Quidditch now."

"Nonsense! I'll play until I start to show, and by that time we'll be out of school."

"Katie…"

"Oliver, it's fine. I checked a book and that's what it said."

"Fine, but I'm double checking that."

"You worry too much!"

"When the future Starter for Puddlemere United is concerned, I am. And it makes perfect sense." Said Oliver. Katie laughed,

"I love you."

"Well I'd hope so!" They kissed again, and any fears about Oliver's reaction disappeared. He wasn't going anywhere.
