Chapter 2

"I...I...I'm pregnant." I finally whispered.

"Oh, well that's I can understand why you didn't want to tell me." Dumbledore said looking at me with understanding. I could feel the tears pricking my eyes as I looked upon the man who was like a father to me for so many years. I couldn't fall apart now, I had to stay strong and keep it together.

"So is it possible Sir?"

"How early would you like to take them?" He asked softly.

"As soon as possible. I don't want the whole school to know, and if I wait until the end of the school year people are going to know." I said wiping away a stray tear.

"I'll see what I can do. In the mean time I'll have Madame Pomfrey know so she can help you out with any problems that occur." He said with a small smile.

"Thank you Sir." I said sadly.

"Do you know who the father is?" He asked. I looked down at the ground, I couldn't tell him that I knew. I was to ashamed to tell him.

"Some muggle guy. I went to a party with some friends of mine and I guess someone spiked my drink because I woke up the next morning to some guy I didn't even know. This was a about 2 weeks before school started and then about a week ago I became sick in the mornings and it was then I noticed I was late and I found a spell. The results came out positive. I don't even know the guys name, and I can't tell my foster family, they would just kick me out. I mean I'm already living on my own as is but that's why I want to take my N.E.W.T.S early so I can finish school a little earlier than planned. I know I need to get a job so I can start saving up for this baby." I said as more tears fell.

"I'll do my best to get a Ministry official to give you your N.E.W.T.S, but I do know one thing. You will be a great mother, and I'm proud of you. It takes a lot of responsibility to take care of a child, especially alone. But you're just like your mother. Very bright and strong. You will do great things." He said. I know he was trying to cheer me up, but I was just to depressed at the moment to take the full compliment.

"I appreciate that Sir. I should get to class before I miss any more." I said standing up.

"I'll send a note to your professer's, letting them know that you need the day off due to personal reasons. I will also set up a private room for you, for the pregnancy." He said taking out a piece of parchment.

"Professor Dumbledore you don't have to do that."

"You need some time off Ivy. Too much stress is not good for the baby and you will need your pivacy during this time. Go to Madame Pomfrey after you leave here and tell her about the baby so she can get started on the proper potions for the pregnancy." He said smiling gently. I smiled back and thanked him once again before heading out of his office and towards the hospital wing.

I guess I was so deep in thought that I wasn't paying attention and I ran into someone. I was knocked down to the floor while the other person just stumbled. I quickly placed my hand on my stomach, making sure I didn't get hurt there.

"Watch where you're goi-" But the voice cut short. I looked up from the floor to see him standing above me. He had a confused look of his face. "Weathers?"

"Yeah it's me." I said before standing up. "Thanks for not helping me up. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go."

I was just walking around him when he caught my arm, stopping me. He looked down at me. His face held no emotion but his eyes did. I had to look away. "Where are you going? You're class is the other way."

"Not that's it's any of your business, but I'm not going to class. I'm head for the hospital wing. I have been excused for the rest of my classes by Dumbledore. Now let me go so I can be on my way." I said through clenched teeth. He was really starting to get on my way.

"What's wrong? Are you sick?" He asked again all void of emotion.

"I just don't feel well, and it's none of your business how my health is. Or have you forgotten that you said you don't care about what happens to me anymore." I said as I yanked my arm his grasp and walked away. I blinked back the tears that threatened to come as I thought about our last argument. I told myself that I would not shed another tear for him ever again. He hurt me more than anyone had ever done before. I wouldn't let that happen again.

I finally made my way to the hospital wing and found only Madame Pomfrey there, and this I was glad for. I didn't want anyone else knowing about the baby.

Once I finally told her what was going on, she said that she needed a few days to get the right potions together. I thanked her for all her help and left to head to my dorm.

When I reached the Gryffindor entrance, I told the fat lady the password only for her to tell me that my dorm was not within Gryffindor anymore. It was up one floor, but I was still allowed to come in to the common room. She also to me that my stuff was already moved there as well. I thanked her and made my way to my new dorm.

I made my way up to the next floor and found a picture with a young woman on the front. She looked up at me and smiled.

"You must be Ivy, yes?" She asked me.

"Um, yeah. I'm guessing this is where my new room is?" I asked back.

"Yes, Dumbledore told me what is going on and assigned me to your dorm. He also said you need to choose a password of your own so no one else can enter. I am the only one allowed within this painting and the painting inside. It's to insure your privacy. By the way my name is Lily miss."

"Okay. Um I guess my password will be 'midnight'. " I said to her.

"Sounds good Miss." She said as her portrait swung open. I walked through the entrance to see a large room. My trunk was already at the foot of my bed but it was open. I looked in it to see what was missing. The thing was practically empty. I looked around the room to find my books, quills, inks, and parchment on a large oak desk. There was a window right in front of it along with the perch I had for my owl. I kept looking around the room and found two more doors. I open the one closest to me to find it was a small walk-in closet. All my school uniforms were already hung up, along with my casual clothes. I checked the other door to find my own personal bathroom. I smiled as I saw a large bathtub and just a few feet away a decent size shower. I closed the door to the bathroom and put my bag into the chair next to the desk.

I had to lay down as I was feeling a little dizzy. I had only closed my eyes for a few minutes when a loud pop sounded scaring me. I sat fast only to make me even more dizzy. I laid back down as I put my hand over my eyes and tried to calm my breathing to help stop the dizzy spell to pass.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Miss. I didn't mean to scare you." I heard a small squeaky voice say. I pulled my hand away from eyes and looked around for where the voice came from. What I found was a small house elf standing next to my bed.

"Can I help you?" I asked confused.

"Debbie is sorry Miss. I'm your personal house elf. Dumbledore himself picked Debbie to help Miss with your pregnancy. Debbie will get you anything you need Miss." The little house elf said bowing.

"Oh, you don't have to do that Debbie. I'll be okay." I said hoping she wouldn't take offense to my words.

"Miss, Debbie is happy to help you. Debbie-" She paused when she looked back up at me. "Miss, are you ok? You look awfully pale Miss."

I was just about to answer her when I felt like I was going to be sick. I jumped off the bed and ran to the toilet just in time to empty my stomach. I felt small hands grab my hair and move it from my face. I turned to see Debbie holding my hair and a sad smile on her face. I couldn't return the smile as I heaved into the toilet again. Once I was done I sat next to the toilet and watched as Debbie grabbed a washcloth from off the sink and soaked in cold water. She came over to me a gently pressed the cold cloth to my face. I closed my eyes as I leaned into the coldness.

"There, there Miss. Debbie will take of you." She said gently as she moved the cold cloth around my face.

"Thanks you." I whispered as tears filled my eyes.

Her smile grew some at my thanking her. "You're welcome Miss."
