Lily turned swiftly down the corridor, and after making sure that no one was watching, she slipped into the empty classroom. James was already in there, as he promised he would be. They were on the third floor, and it was after midnight and Filch had Mrs. Norris patrolling the school, so Lily and James both knew that they had to be careful on their way here. Even though there were both Head Boy and Head Girl, Hogwarts had a strict curfew policy, one that even their ranks of authority could forget. Lily Evans was in her seventh year. James was also. They had been going out since September. This, however, was all new to them.
" James," Lily whispered, as to alert him to her presence. She immediately started to cry. James hobbled over to her, having sporting a new quidditch injury to his leg. She sat down on an empty desk, and James sat down next to her.
" What is it? When you gave me that note I knew that it had to be urgent. Why did we have to come here, Lily?" James looked at his girlfriend with concern and confusion, and that made Lily cry even harder. She buried her head in her hands.
" I didn't want anyone to hear, that would have been awful. Just awful!"
James shook his head, and put his arm around Lily's shoulders. " Lily, what is it?"
Lily gulped for some air, and lifted her head. She stared at James.
" I'm pregnant."
