(A/N: Yes I'm writing another Harry Potter story, but this one is different from YNET!  I'm making this one more dramatic because my writing mentors said I should experiment with different genres.  Not that they know about fanfiction.net.  Anyway, I'm writing it in the Harry Potter category because 1.  That's where a majority of the readers are, and 2.  It's interesting to put Harry Potter characters in situations like this.  I've been thinking this one over for some time, and it will be shorter then YNET!  Sorry, but there's not much you can do with the characters I'm using.)

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, or it's characters.  I just made up the plot.

An Undying Relationship

    When I look down at the two little boys watching TV in my apartment, I can't help but feel grief and joy at the same time for my sister.  No they're not mine, they're my sister's Padma's kids.  I'm only watching them for the afternoon.  I suppose I should tell you of how they came about.  I don't really like thinking about it, but if you insist…

    It was our 7th year at Hogwarts…around the start of October when I noticed something weird with Padma.  She had been looking really pale for the last two weeks, and just generally didn't look like her normal self.  Not that I spent a lot of time with her considering she's in Ravenclaw, and I'm in Gryffindor.  I finally pulled her into the library one day before lunch.

    "Padma, are you feeling all right?  You haven't been looking too well.  I mean, you usually have color in your skin."  I asked her.

    She replied.  "I'm fine Parvati.  Don't worry about me.  I just have a cold that's all."

    I didn't believe her for a second.  "Don't give me that crap, I want to know why you feel so sick.  Or have you had that "cold" for two weeks?"

    "All right fine, but promise me you won't tell anyone.  Especially not our parents."  I agreed.  She then lowered her voice to barely a whisper.  "I'm pregnant."

    It took me a few seconds to comprehend that.  "YOUR WHAT?!"  Everyone nearby looked in our direction.  Padma just lowered her head.  When I saw how pathetic she looked at the moment, I calmed down.  "When did you find out?"

    "Two weeks ago.  But please.  Don't tell anyone!  I don't want anybody to know."  She pleaded.

    "It's gonna be hard for anybody not to notice in a few months.  Who's the father?"  I asked thoroughly shocked.

    "Blaise Zabini."

    "He's in Slytherin isn't he?"  I asked.

    "Yes, but he's really a nice guy.  Not all Slytherins are evil you know.  Take Draco Malfoy for instance.  Hermione did wonders for him.  And Blaise has never once made fun of anybody."

    "I believe you, but I can't keep my mouth shut.  This is a big thing were talking here.  This isn't something like you cheated on a test, were talking about bringing another life into the world.  Besides, people are going to notice you getting fatter all of a sudden.  You have to tell mum and dad."

    "I can't.  As soon as I tell them, they'll come right over and embarrass me.  Please!  You can't tell anybody."  She continued pleading like that for a minute.

    The lunch bell rang, and we were forced to leave.  For the rest of the day I was debating with myself on weather to tell anybody or not.  I couldn't even pay attention to Divination, which was my favorite class, and I got in trouble for it.  "Miss Patil, if you would care to join us, your crystal ball would be doing more then just collecting dust."  Professor Trelawny said in my face.

    "Sorry Professor, I just got side-tracked."  My best friend Lavender Brown was looking at me with a somewhat disgusted look on her face.  I heard Ron and Harry giggling behind me.  Obviously Ron had made another joke about Trelawny.

    Potions was crappy too.  I tried my hardest to pay attention, but it was no use.  Fortunately, Neville Longbottom was screwing up more then ever, so Snape didn't notice I accidentally put fly wings in the potion instead of lacewings.  Later that night, unfortunately, Lavender confronted me on my lack on concentration that afternoon in the common room.  "What's with you?  You hardly paid attention at all during today's afternoon classes.  That and you never showed up for lunch.  I know you said you were going to talk to your sister, but you never came back.  I looked all over for you."  She said.

    "I was just busy that's all.  I saw Padma, and Professor Flitwick asked me to help him with something.  You know him being short and everything."

    "Fine if you didn't want to tell me all you had to do was say so.  Don't go lying about it.  See you later."  She then went up to our dorm.  It was at that moment when Hermione practically fell in the portrait hole giggling like mad.  Draco must have dropped her off.  Disgusted, I went upstairs as well.

    The next day was Saturday thankfully.  I didn't see Padma at breakfast, so I went to look for her.  I looked in the library, she wasn't there.  I looked outside for her, but she wasn't there.  There was no Hogsmede trip that day, so she wasn't there either.  I looked all over the school, but all I could find was a friend of hers.  I asked her to see if Padma was still in the Ravenclaw dorm, and if she was to meet me by the lake.

    It was nearly dinnertime when Padma finally decided to show up.  "What took so long?"  I asked rhetorically. 

    She just sat down across from me.  "What do you want?"  She asked.

    "Whoa those pregnancy mood swings kicking in already?"  She just stared and said nothing.  "Look I've been debating with myself ever since you told me yesterday.  And I've come to a conclusion.  I should tell mum and dad, but…"

    "But what?"  Padma asked.  "But I wont tell them.  At least I wont.  Sooner or later you're going to have to tell them.  I suggest sooner, but that's your decision."

    "Thanks Parvati.  You don't know how much this means to me."  She said.

    "Hey what are sisters for?  Although I don't think hiding a pregnancy from your parents came in the job description."  I said.  She laughed, but it sounded weak.  After a pause, I blurted out.  "I can't believe it.  You get pregnant, and I don't even have a boyfriend."

    "That was not what I wanted to hear."  She glared at me.

    "But it's so bizarre!  I mean getting pregnant is something that people would expect of me, not you."  I said.

    "I know.  People are going to say 'Ohhh Padma is a mother!'  I mean hell, even I said it."  She said.  "They should teach you this.  I mean this is real life.  Learning how it happens doesn't help, learning what to do when it happens helps."

    "So…are you planning on hiding it the whole nine months?"  She nodded.  "How do you suppose you're going to do that?"  She shook her head this time.  "Don't worry.  I'll help you out whenever I can.  Speaking of which, have you told Blaise yet?"  She shook her head again.  "You've known for 2 weeks, and I'm the only one you've told?"

    "I didn't even want to tell you.  Oh this is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through.  Wait-what do you mean you don't have a boyfriend?"  Padma asked me.

    "Not anyone serious at the moment.  Anyway, you have to tell someone other then me.  Someone with medical expertise.  You're the one who got knocked up, not me.  Did he even use protection?"

    "Of course he did.  But you know they're not completely reliable."  She said looking downtrodden again.

     "Don't worry sis.  You're going to get through this.  I'll help you out.  The sorting hat didn't put you in Ravenclaw for nothing.  Come on.  We have to head back to the school.  Lavender is probably ready to bite my head off."  She laughed and we got back up and headed back towards the school.  "So what do you want to name it?"  I asked

    "I'm not thinking that far ahead yet."  She laughed.

Next: Some more complications with everyone else.
