Realisation
That night as she sat in her bed behind the curtain listening to the other students talking in the dormitory she remembered that she had also slept with one of her best friends' boyfriends and she realised that it could be his child.
She had hoped never to have to think about it again, having been drunk that night as she had been most of the times she had slept with anyone. She hoped it wasn't his child but knew there was always a chance it might be.
She heard her friend talking about how much she loved him and how she wanted to be with him forever and she felt an enormous amount of guilt welling up inside her. She tried to block out the thoughts, hoping desperately that he wasn't the father…
But what if he was? Her best friend would murder her! Literally! She began to panic, knowing that she had to find some way of finding out who the father was without asking Madam Pomfrey for help and she knew it was going to be hard.
She took out her diary and tried to work out roughly how long she had been pregnant for. She worked out that she had been pregnant for about 3 months seeing as that was when her last period was but the last time she remembered sleeping with anyone was about 4 months ago.
Well she had slept with Charlie but that had just been sleeping… hadn't it? She began wondering whether it was possible to get pregnant from just cuddling when she remembered that the cuddling had been before the alcohol… she had woken up the next morning in his arms, in his bed, naked, but she didn't remember doing anything.
She had to ask Charlie if he remembered anything but she couldn't leave the room now as it was after lights out, She just had to lay down and sleep, hoping that Charlie would be willing to talk to her in the morning.
