Prologue

It was May of 2005 and he had about 3 months before he would start his dream job at Hogwarts. His vacation in America had gone well while it lasted. Hanging up his phone he had just been informed that yet another one of his friend from school were going to have a child. Sure he was happy for them but he had been realizing that his life was pretty much in a ditch while his friends were moving on. Sighing loudly he decided he needed a drink. He looked around at the various people there. It was the typical all American place: pool tables, people out for the night with their friends sitting on metal stools and a large wooden bar off to one side. Sitting down he ordered a double and told the bartender to keep them coming. He had been so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice the slender brunette sit down next to him.

"You look like you have a lot on your mind" spoke the brunette. He jumps slightly and turns to her causing her to giggle softly.

"Yeah I guess," He spoke looking her over. She had forest green eyes, with light caramel hair, she wasn't wearing anything out of the ordinary but the tight jeans and simple top accentuated her figure perfectly.

"Ahh so you're from England I'm guessing based on that accent," she smiled wide revealing her straight white teeth.

"Yeah, just over here for a couple weeks to get away."

Their conversation continued with simple conversation ranging from where they grew up, families and friends. Dancing along with shots and a few bottles of beer also took place and the next thing they knew it was morning.

The next morning he opened his eyes to bright sunshine streaming in from a window, his head pounding like a hammer against his skull. Slowly his eyes adjusted to the light and he started taking in his surroundings from the light purple on the walls and the flowing curtains hanging from the open window.

"ugh, stupid sun" Came from his side and his head suddenly jerks to it, a movement he then regretted because it seemed his head hurt ten times worse. She slowly sat up pulling the sheet around her and pulled a shirt over her head turning and smiling softly to him "Hey there, would you like some coffee?"

"Umm sure," he stated sitting up and pulling on his pants he heard her walk out of the room and started gathering the rest of his clothes before following after her.

"Cream or sugar," she asked setting the cup in front of him and turning back to the refrigerator.

"Uh, just sugar is fine," he mumbled softly.

"You don't do this much do you, not that I do to its just you seem a little uncomfortable," She smiles over at him slightly while sipping her coffee and leaning back against the counter.

"Yeah it's kind of new to me," he smirked softly looking up at her. "So not to seem rude but what do you do again?"

"Oh I'm a nurse at a local hospital. You're a teacher right at a boarding school?"

"Yeah," He looked down at the coffee instantly remembering that she was a muggle "Well I'm starting in the fall."

"Is there any way that I could possibly get in touch with you?" she smiled wide leaning across the counter and looking in his eyes.

His head instantly started going through the possibilities it wasn't like she could send him an owl or call him at Hogwarts. He could just give her Harry's address and he would send it to him. "Well phones aren't really allowed to be used at work but letters are always welcome and this address will know where to find me." He said writing down Harry and Ginny's home.

After exchanging addresses and phone numbers to use until he went to work they talked for awhile more and he started making his way to the door.

"It was very nice meeting you" She said lightly leaning up and kissing him softly on the lips.

"You too" He said as he pulled back smiling, and walked down the stairs of the apartment out onto the streets before looking back and making sure she had gone back inside and ducking into an ally to apparate to his hotel room in a wizard hotel . There he started packing his things to head back home slightly sad that he probably wouldn't ever see or talk to her again.

The next couple of months passed by pretty quickly he got letter from his friends about the news of Ginny being pregnant again. His first month of classes were doing great, though most just loved to hear stories about his time at Hogwarts which he was glad to share. Though he never did get a single letter from the certain girl he had met in America that it until a certain morning in November. He watched the Potter owl fly in and drop the letter it was short containing only one sentence, just a couple words, but it would change his life forever.

Neville,

I'm pregnant.
