To eighth year and beyond

Head-Boy

'ARGH!' someone shouted, as they slammed the compartment door.

'What the fuck?' Maya groaned, opening her eyes and looking at the door. 'Hermione! I just got Arya to sleep.' She moaned at her friend, trying to settle the baby that started to wail.

'Shit, sorry guys.' Hermione whispered, coming over and taking Arya from a very tired Maya. 'Sorry beautiful girl.' She said to the baby, cradling her.

'Why were you shouting anyway?' Maya asked, yawning.

'You won't believe who the Head Boy is.' She said, through gritted teeth.

'Who?' Maya asked, confused.

'Theodore Nott! Can you imagine?!'

'Woah, really?' Maya said, wondering how that had come about.

'Yeah, and the first thing he said to me? "Oh look, it's the little know-it-all mudblood.'

'SERIOUSLY?' Maya shouted, standing up and making for the compartment door.

'No, Maya. Just leave it.' Hermione said, using her wand to block the compartment door.

'Hermione, he can't get away with that!'

'Just leave it Maya; the word means nothing to me now.' She said, cooing over Arya. Maya knew she was lying though; being told you had "dirty blood" wasn't nice for anyone. She would speak to Draco about Theodore.

'Where are the boys?' Hermione asked, noticing that Maya and Arya were alone.

'They wanted to play exploding snap so went to a different compartment.' Maya answered. 'Do you mind if I go and look for them?'

Hermione nodded and Maya left the compartment. She had only walked a couple of compartments up when she heard a voice. 'Hello blood traitor. So, you finally came out of hiding?' they sneered. Maya looked in the next compartment and saw Theodore Nott speaking to Draco.

'Whatever Theo; I'm proud of what I did all those years ago. I'm sure you can't be proud of everything you did.' Draco answered.

'Of course I'm proud.' The boy sneered. 'I stood up for what I believed in.'

'Yeah, and so did I. So did the Order, who won the war. Just give it up Theo, no one will put up with the pure-blood self-righteousness anymore. Also, I see you are Head Boy. You must have been given that badge for a reason – make sure you live up to whatever expectations come of a Head Boy.'

Maya didn't hear anything else but the next thing she knew she was being knocked out of the way when Theo flounced out of the compartment.

'Watch it!' she shouted at him.

'You watch it you bitch.' Theo snapped back.

'What did you just say to her?' Draco roared, coming out of the compartment.

'Just leave him Draco. If he carries on like that, he won't be here very long.' Maya said, pulling his arm. 'Draco, just leave him.' Maya shouted, tugging his arm back as Draco tried to pull away from her.

Draco eventually turned around, breathing heavily. 'There's no place for all that superiority anymore. How did he even get Head Boy?'

'God knows. He's a dick – he called Hermione a Mudblood!'

'SERIOUSLY?' Draco shouted, trying to pull away from Maya again.

'Draco, stop! Hermione said to leave it.'

Draco nodded, breathing heavy again and Maya knew he was counting to ten.

'Where's Arya?' he eventually asked.

'She's with Hermione.' Maya smiled, pulling Draco to her for a kiss.

'Did you get a sleep?' he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist.

'Oh about ten minutes.' She responded, rolling her eyes. 'Hermione came in, shouting about that prick. She woke us up.'

'Oh. Sorry.'

'What are you sorry for?' she asked, chuckling.

'That I wasn't there when you woke up.'

'Awww baby, you're so sweet.' She said, kissing him again. Once done, she led him back to their compartment.

…

'Eighth years, I would be grateful if you could please stay behind; all other years you can leave for your common rooms.' Professor McGonagall said, dismissing the majority of students. Once the hall was deserted, Maya looked around and noticed there was only about 10 eighth years:

Hermione, her, Draco, Neville, Dean, Parvati & Padma Patil, Susan Bones, Hannah Abbott and Theo Nott. Theo was sat away from everyone else, sending out death glares to anyone that dared look at him.

'Attention please. Due to space, we have decided that the eighty years will have their own tower. You are all also of age and I am aware that some of you are engaged/involved/have kids, so you will be allowed to share rooms. Miss Granger, Mr Nott, you will also be in the eighth-year tower and not in a separate heads common room.'

Hermione nodded, but Theo just scowled.

'All of you may go, apart from Mr Black and Miss Jones. Can you both stay please?'

Maya and Draco nodded. 'Oh, your password is NEWTS.' McGonagall called after them.

'Now, Miss Jones, Mr Black. As promised, we have arranged your childcare. You have been assigned a house-elf for the care of Arya. Winky!' she called, and a house-elf appeared with a pop.

'Yes miss.'

'Winky, this is Miss Jones and Mr Black, plus their daughter Arya who you will be looking after.'

'Pleasure to meet you Mr and Mrs.' Winky said, smiling at the teens. 'Winky is very much looking forward to looking after a baby again.'

'Nice to meet you too Winky! You can call me Maya, and this is Draco. This' she said, holding the baby down to Winky 'is Arya.'

Winky's smiled widened even further. 'She's beautiful.' Winky said, smiling down at Arya, who giggled at the elf. 'Winky will come to your common room tomorrow morning at 8am.' And with that, she disappeared with a pop.

'Professor – I have to ask. Will Winky be paid for this? Hermione will never forgive me if she isn't.'

'Not to worry Maya, all of the elves within Hogwarts are now paid – thanks to Miss Granger.'

Maya beamed at that – she would need to remember and let Hermione know.

…

Draco watched his girlfriend from the doorway of their bedroom; she was looking at herself in the mirror and she looked very pissed off.

'Are you ok?' He asked, coming up and wrapping his arms around her.

'No..I mean yes..maybe?' she answered, confused.

Draco chuckled. 'What's wrong?'

'Just look in the mirror and you'll see what's wrong with me.'

'What?' Draco asked, now also confused.

'Look at me. I'm so fat.' She said, looking down at her body.

'FAT?' he laughed. 'You, fat?'

'You don't need to laugh at me Draco.' She snapped.

'Hey, I'm not laughing at you. Why do you think you're fat?'

'Well, look at me. I feel so fat and frumpy since I had Arya.'

Draco laughed again. 'Maya, you have your pre-pregnancy body back! You were back out running within 2 weeks of Arya being born and I have to say, I think you are more beautiful than ever. I look at you and I find you incredibly sexy, like I always have, but then I remember you carried a baby for 9 months and I love you and your body even more. You're amazing.'

Maya looked at the floor. 'I just don't feel it right now.' She said, sadly.

'Let me show you.' He whispered in her ear and led her over to their bed. He quickly cast a silencing charm on their door and checked that Arya was sleeping.

'Can I show you how amazing and beautiful I think you are?' he asked.

Maya nodded, and he started to kiss her all over. Eventually, he started to take off her clothes; Maya tried to stop him taking off her shirt, but he soon had it off and he was kissing her tummy where she had stretchmarks. The whole time he whispered to her about why he loved that part of her body and how beautiful it was. Soon, they were making love; it wasn't like the times they had before which had always been good but also wild and adventurous; this was more about love.

'Thank you.' Maya whispered once they were both done, and Draco held her in his arms.

'You ever feel like that again you come to me ok? I will happily show you how beautiful you are to me every day.'

Maya smiled and fell asleep in his arms; her favourite place to be.
