The Break-Up
Part II
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
"You dirty, conniving piece of filth!" the youngest male Weasley exclaimed in anger just before he collided with Draco. The two fell on the ground with a thud, with Ronald on top of Draco and pounded his fists into Draco's chest and sides.
"Ron!" Hermonie, Harry and Magnolia yelled as Ron kept throwing punches at the Slytherin who tried his best to block the angry attack.
"I should've known that a slimy Slytherin like you would do something do her. What did you do? Huh? Place a spell on her?"
"Ron!" Harry and Hermonie yelled at the same time to gain the red-head's attention but to no avail. Ron just kept throwing punches at the blond under him and throwing insult after insult.
Harry tried to pull his friend off of the Slytherin and Hermonie tried to talk Ron out of attacking but they both had no such luck.
Neither of the Gryffindor students saw Magnolia take out her wand and they didn't hear her say a spell until Ron vocally yelled out in pain as he jumped off of the Slytherin.
"What, Ron? What is it?" Harry asked in concern as he watched Ron rub his arse.
Ron didn't answer Harry, instead he looked at Maggie who still stood with her wand drawn.
"Maggie, did you just cast an unforgivable on me?"
"What?!" both Harry and Hermonie exclaimed as they looked at Harry's twin in surprise.
Magnolia rolled her eyes in annoyance as she put her wand away, "Of course not. It was a stinging hex".
"It hurt. A lot!"
"If you would've read the chapter on hexes like you were supposed to, you would know that a stinging hex increases the level of pain depending on the caster's emotions, such as anger" Maggie recited as she knelt on her knees beside Draco who was now sitting up with his hand over his bloody nose.
"What are you doing?!" Ron exclaimed in both alarm and frustration as he quickly grabbed Magnolia by her upper arm to pull her up and away from the bleeding Slytherin.
"Let go of me!" Maggie screamed as she shook to get her arm out of his hold, "He's bleeding!"
"Why do you care if he's bleeding?" Ron asked with outrage in his tone before he turned to the blond still on the ground, "What did you do to her? Did you and your slimy git friends pour something in her drink?"
"No" Draco spoke up for the first time.
"Than why were you two sucking face?!" Ron bellowed as he walked towards the Slytherin in a threatening matter.
"Ron! Enough!" Magnolia cried out as she hurried to stand in front of him to prevent the enraged red-head from advancing towards the injured young man behind her.
"He didn't do anything to me, nor his friends. Just leave him be".
"Why are you sticking up for him? He did something to you" Ron persisted as he took her shoulders and shook her a couple of times before Maggie ripped his hands off of her shoulders and stepped back.
"Listen closely because this is the last time I'm going to say this. Draco. Didn't. Do. Anything. To me because he's my friend".
"Friend? That conniving loathsome git?" Ron scoffed.
"Ron, stop" Harry injected as he forced his friends back by dragging him by his arm, "It's fine. He's fine with her" he added as his sister knelt back down and cast Episkey on his nose. Once the spell set Draco's nose back, she used her sleeve to wipe away the blood on his upper lip.
"You knew about them?" Ron asked his friend.
"Yeah. I already caught them together" Harry added, "But it's fine".
"Fine?! Fine?!" Ron yelled in outrage, "Harry, the slimy git..."
Maggie refused to listen to anymore of Ron's insults and accusations so she tuned him out as she gently padded the blood off of Draco's upper lip and his possibility of his broken nose.
"Sorry" she softly whispered when Draco hissed in pain.
In response, Draco placed his hand around hers that had been helping wipe up the blood and gave her the soft smile only he gave her.
"C'mon. Let's get you to Madame Promphey, maybe she can do something about your nose" Maggie suggested as she got to her feet and Draco did the same.
While Ron and Harry were distracted by their arguing, Magnolia and Draco tried their best to sneak away but not everyone was distracted by the argument because what Hermonie asked caused the arguing to stop and the attention to turn to her.
"Maggie, you're not really keeping it are you?"
"Keep what? Maggie, what is she talking about?" Ron demanded.
"Nothing Ronald. Granger doesn't know what she's talking about" Maggie replied as she continued to head back to the castle with Draco following but curiosity keeping him silent.
"Alright Magnolia" Hermonie challenged in a smug look on her face "If you won't tell than I will. Ron. Harry. She's pregnant".
Silence filled the night for a few minutes before cries of shock and outraged replaced the silence.
"Oh, you stupid stupid girl!" Magnolia yelled at the female Gryffindor with her fingers curled in fists.
"Was it, him?" Harry asked and Maggie knew who he wasreferringto.
"Of course it was him, Harry. Who else would bloody hell be?"
"Who?" both Hermonie and Ron wanted to know.
"None of your bloody business" Maggie snapped before Harry could even open his mouth to respond, "And don't you dare tell them, Harry. There is no reason for them to know".
"But they're my friends" Harry argued.
"Your friends, not mine. This is my business and no one else. I don't even know how Granger found out and if I find that it was you, my own brother, told-"
"He didn't. I've been watching you" Hermonie spoke up, "You been throwing up every morning; which is morning sickness, you've been picky about what you eat and what you smell around you-"
"You studied me?!" Maggie said in outraged, "I am not a project, Granger!"
"Well, I had to to find out what was going on with you. And you can't keep the baby".
"When will you get this through your brain Granger? It is none of your business what I do, when I throw up or who I have relations with. You are not my mother and just because my mother is dead, doesn't not mean that the position is in need to be filled. You have no right to tell me what I should do, especially with my child. You are not in charge of me".
"I'm only trying to help" Hermonie argued.
"No. You just want to show how smart you are".
"That's not true".
"It is Granger. You want everyone to know how smart you are. Just do everyone in the Wizarding World a favor and keep your knowledge to your grades and your mouth firmly shut. Oh, you've ruined everything, you filthy Mudblood."
"Maggie" Harry gasped and Ron copied his move that he did on Draco but this time on Magnolia herself.
Draco tried to catch Maggie's falling form, only she didn't fall backwards but on her side.
"Idiot!" Draco cried out to the red head as he knelt down beside the fallen Ravenclaw student, "Oh, Merlin. You're bleeding" he said when he saw blood slowly ooze down from her split bottom lip and down her chin.
"I'm okay Draco" she reassured as she used her wrist to wipe the blood away, "Don't touch me, Harold!" she screamed as she slapped her brother's hands away, "You've done enough!"
"Maggie, I didn't mean for this to get so out of hand-" Harry began to apologize.
"I don't want to hear it! You broke your promise of keeping your friends out of my business, I want nothing to do with you!" Maggie yelled at her brother as Draco helped her up on her feet, "You've got what you wanted; friends, people to call family, a life that you didn't like back with our Aunt. I hope this is want you've been wishing for, because in return; you've lost me" and than she and Draco walked off, leaving the three Gryffindors in shock at what had just happened.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Draco Malfoy and Magnolia Potter sat in silence in the Medical Wing. The two students were alone, since Madame Promphey had left to retrieve a healing balm for their injuries of where they were punched by Ron Weasley.
"Are you really pregnant?" Draco whispered, as if he was afraid of someone overhearing him.
Magnolia rested a hand on her stomach, "Yes. I am".
"Who did this to you?"
"You have to understand, I didn't ask for it; I had no choice".
"You did this to you?" he asked again more sternly.
"It was a Muggle, Draco. One of my cousin's friends" she answered as she looked down with shame.
"Are you going to keep it?" Draco asked Hermonie's original question.
Magnolia's other hand joined the one already on her stomach, "Yeah, I'm going to keep it" she answered as she raised her gaze back to the Slytherin boy, "And don't try to change my mind. This is my choice".
"Okay".
Silence filled the empty wing due to the fact that neither of them knew what to say.
"I'm sorry about your nose" Maggie's soft voice broke the awkward silence.
"Don't worry about it. Weasley sure has a great right hook" Draco answered with a shrug as he brought one hand up to his nose.
"Yeah, tell me about it" she replied with a giggle as she placed a hand on her swollen lip.
"I can't believe you called Granger a Mudblood" Draco chuckle, "did you see the look on her face?"
"She just makes me so mad. She thinks that she is entitled to know every little thing about everyone, and expose what should be kept secret".
"So you weren't going to tell me that you were pregnant?"
"Of course I was. I was going to tell you tonight, by the Black Lake. But Harry and his obnoxious friends interrupted. I'm sorry you had to find out that way, that wasn't my intention of breaking it to you".
"I probably would have reacted the same way".
"And how did you react? I was so caught up in Granger".
"Shocked. Inraged. Scared" the blond Slytherin replied.
"That is to be expected" Maggie responded as Madame Promphey returned with the healing balm in hand.
"Mister Malfoy, place this on all of your injuries" she instructed, holding out the container for him to take and use.
Draco took it without complaint, "What about Potter?"
The Mediwitch replied with, "She will be coming with me, Mister Malfoy".
"And what about her baby?"
The stern woman raised an eyebrow in curisoty.
"It's okay Madame, he was told about it tonight" young to-be-mother placed in.
"Very well. That is why she will be coming with me, Mister Malfoy, to make sure the baby isn't harmed in any way from the scuffle that happened tonight. Come, Dear" the elderly staff member beconned Maggie and the student did as she was bide.
Even though Maggie didn't look back at Draco while she was escorted away to the other side of the infirmary, Draco watched the hunched form of the Ravenclaw. The pregnant Ravenclaw. He just didn't understand, why would someone do that? What did submissive Magnolia ever do to them?
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
It was a quite escort, but Magnolia didn't mind. She prefered the silence; she was used to it.
"Sit on the bed, Miss Potter" Madame Promphey instructed as she pulled out her wand.
"What kind of tests will you be doing?" the submissive girl asked in almost a whisper.
"The same tests I do on you when you come for you monthly sonogram and check-up. Hold still, Dear".
The Mediwitch pointed her wand at Maggie and proclaimed the spell that had escaped through her lips so many times before. Almost instantly, Magnolia felt the shimmer of magic enter through her skin pores and combine with her insides. It was an odd feeling but yet comforting and refreshing feeling, like when someone gently sprays water on you but inside of you.
"Thank Merlin that the baby wasn't harmed" the elder woman breathed out in relief.
"I didn't think it would be hurt. I was only punched".
"I know but it doesn't hurt to be cautious".
"May I go now?"
"Yes, of course. But remember, my door is always open if-"
"If I want to talk. I know" she sighed, "Thank you Madame. Goodnight".
"Goodnight, Miss Potter" the elder witch bade at the retreating figure of both Miss Potter and young Mister Malfoy. The Medical witch couldn't help but allow her facial features to soften. That poor girl has gone through so much, more than any child her age should be going through; living with such neglectful and abusive relatives, having sexual intercourse thrust upon her in such a manner and now needing to grow up faster than any child should. It wouldn't be long before Miss Potter would shatter, at what pieces she will leave behind her destruction.
