Amanda POV…
It was the fifth time this week that I got sick. For the pass week I have been sick. For the most part I kept it from my roommates, they would ask and I would tell them everything was okay. But on this morning Beth woke up to find me in the loo.
"Mandy, I think you should go to the hospital wing before breakfast." I nodded.
After we were both dressed, Beth and I went to the Hospital Wing to see Madam Patil. She smiled at us as we walked in.
I took a breath before I told her that I wasn't feeling well. I had a feeling that one night a month and a half ago was going to change my life. "Madam Patil, I have been sick to my stomach for the pass week." The smile on her face fell. She looked down at my stomach and looked back at my face.
She turned to Beth. "Miss Winters, I'm going to need you to leave." Beth give me a look, I nodded. Beth left the room. "Miss Longbottom, please take a seat on one of the beds." I took a seat on the bed that was close. "Please pull your shirt up." Madam Patil took out her wand and ran it over my stomach. "Just what I thought," She did some other wand work and a bubble appeared in midair.
"Miss Longbottom," She pointed to a little spot on the bubble. "This is your baby. You are about eight weeks along." She made a picture appear and handed it to me. "You can pull down your shirt." She pulled a chair up. "I will give you a potion for morning sickness, but you need to decide if you want this baby. I think you should talk to the father before making any decisions." I nodded because I didn't know what to say.
Madam Patil got up and with a wave of her wand she brought out the potion. "You may go." She handed me the potion.
I made my way to the door when I stop and turned to the healer. "Madam Patil," She turned to look at me. "Can you…"
Before I could finish Madam Patil broke through. "I won't tell your father, but you should talk to him."
"Thank you." She nodded and I left the hospital wing. Beth was sitting by the door, waiting for me.
"Is everything okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, she gave me a potion for it." I didn't know how to tell her that I was pregnant with Hugo Weasley's baby. I had the picture in my pocket, I could feel it again my leg.
"Good, now let's go get some breakfast." She hooked her arm around mine and we went to the Great Hall for breakfast.
All the way to the Great Hall all I could think about if I was going to keep it. My dreams of becoming a journalist were dimming. If I keep the baby I would have to give up my dreams for a few years. What if I decide to keep the baby but Hugo wants nothing to do with us? I sighed because Hugo wouldn't do that to me. How could I tell my parents or Hugo's? This is going too hard but I I'm going to have to tell Hugo and see what he wants to do.
As we got closer to the Hall, I couldn't hear what Beth was saying about something one of our friends did. All I could think about was the baby and if I was going to keep it. I could never get rid of him or her. I don't think I could give it up for adoption, from going through the all the nine months then seeing someone else walking away with my child. I knew that I was going to keep them even if Hugo doesn't want to be a part of it.
We had reached the Great Hall, Beth went in before me; I stopped to look at the Gryffindor table. I scanned the table looking for that one red head. I found him in the middle of the table with Lily and some of their friends. They were laughing and making jokes about something. Hugo didn't know that I was going to change his life forever.
I went to my table and found seat next to Beth and our other three friends. They were talking about what we were going today. Amy was saying that we should go to the library to do our homework. She was the bookworm of the group, her blue eyes were dim because of her glasses, and she didn't know how beautiful she was with her dark brown hair. Rachel wanted to go and watch someone quidditch practice, she had a thing for quidditch and she played on the house team. Her black hair was cut short and her green eyes were always thinking. Kinsey said that we should sit by the lake and enjoy the weather while it last. Kinsey blond hair was braided, but her curls were already coming out, there was always a sparkle in her blue eyes.
I was watching Hugo and seeing if I could talk to him today. He ran his hand through his hair, it just made it messier. Lily said something that made him laugh. He was a carefree teenager right now. He got up with Lily and another boy, they left the great hall.
"Amanda, did you hear what Beth said." Rachel waved her hand in front of my face.
"Sorry, what did she say?"
"We decide we are going to take a swim in the Black Lake." Rachel said. The other two were trying not to laugh. "Or we could follow Hugo Weasley around."
I felt my cheeks heat up. "What are you talking about?"
"You could not keep your eyes off of him all through breakfast." It was Amy who answered.
"I have to tell him something." I said. "You know our families are friends."
They rolled their eyes. "What do you need to tell him?" Kinsey asked.
"That she has liked him since they were ten." Rachel said. Everyone laughed.
"It's something about perfect duties." I said. They knew both of us were perfects.
"Oh." They said. We got up and left the Great Hall. We went upstairs to grab our books to sit and study by the lake. The sun was out and warming up the October day. We spread out our books and started on our homework. One of the other houses had quidditch practice, telling me by the brooms in the air. We were greeted by everyone who was out by the lake. I finally started to pay attention to my work when Rachel had to say.
"Isn't that Hugo?" All of our eyes went to find Hugo. He had on his quidditch robes. He was talking to a dark brown hair girl who was a year under him. It looked like he was flirting with her by the way she was hanging on him. He must have smiled because she covered face with her hands. She left him standing there and went to tell her friends that she had a date with Hugo Weasley. Hugo saw us staring at him, he smiled and walked off.
"You should go and tell him about the perfect duties." Beth said. I nodded and gathered my books.
"I'll see you in the common room." They nodded and went back to their work. I took a deep breath and followed Hugo.
I found him talking to his friends. "I just asked Jessica out?" His friends patted him on the back. Then they started talking about if they got a change to win the quidditch cup this year. I was going to call out to him but I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Amanda, are you feeling well because your teachers are worried about you." I heard my father's voice behind me.
I put on the smile that could get me out of anything with my dad. "I went to see Madam Patil this morning and all I had was a stomach bug. She gave me a potion for it." At first I didn't think he believed me, but he just nodded.
"I hope you feel better." Dad said and he walked back to the entrance hall. I didn't know where Hugo went and I didn't want to go and find him, so I went back to my common room. I can talk to Hugo tomorrow. My friends asked me if I talked to him, but I told them that my dad stopped me and that I will talk to him tomorrow. They nodded and left me alone for the rest of the night.
oops
The next morning I watched Hugo again, I saw him leave by himself. I told my friends that I would see them later. I got up and felt the picture in my pocket. I followed Hugo out of the Great Hall. I took a breath before I called out to him.
"Hugo!" Hugo stopped and turned to see who called him. When he saw it was me, his smile disappeared. Hugo and I barely talked after the train ride. We saw each other in perfect meetings. When we had class together he would sit on the other side from me. We both didn't want to talk about that night but now the baby changes everything.
He waited for me to catch up with him. I gave him a weak smile. I looked around and saw people were coming out from breakfast. "Follow me, please." I didn't wait for him to say something; I walked down the hall until I found an empty classroom. Hugo followed me in the room, closing the door behind him.
"Well…" Hugo encouraged me to tell him what is going on.
"Hugo," I looked into his blue eyes. "I'm going to have baby." The look on his face was terror then it was angry.
"Like hell you are." Hugo words cut into my heart. I felt the tears prickling.
I took a couple of breaths. "Hugo, I'm eight weeks pregnant. I got pregnant when we had sex after the party. You were my first and the only one I slept with." I looked him in the eyes. Tears started to link out. I pulled out the picture I had in my pocket and handed it to him.
"Where?" He said softly. I pointed to our baby. It was sinking in for him. "Can I keep this?" He held up the picture. I nodded. "Do you want to keep the baby?" Hugo asked. I nodded. It been all I could think about for the day and knew I could never get rid of the baby.
"Hugo, I'm not asking anything from you, I'm just telling you so you can be apart of the baby's life." I said. I knew that I would raise this baby with or without Hugo but everyone would know it's a Weasley.
"No, I'll be there for you and the baby. I can't let you do this on your own." Hugo started to smile for the first time since I called out his name.
"Are you sure? I don't want to push you into anything." I took a sigh of relief.
"Yes," He gave a short laugh. "Are you trying to push me away?" I shook my head. "Good because I'm not going anywhere." He pulled me into a hug. "We're in this together. Or until your dad and older brothers kill me or my mum and grandmum." I laughed.
"Okay, I hope you live long enough to see your child." I said. Hugo nodded. We left soon after that. I felt some weight lifted off my shoulder.
Oops
Hugo's POV…
Later that night, I was pacing the Gryffindor common room. Everyone was in bed. I could not sleep because every time I closed my eyes all I saw were babies. I took out the picture that Amanda gave me and looked at my child. I knew that Amanda was not lying about this. I could tell when she was lying and she would never lie about something that was going to change our lives. I fell on the couch and tried to close my eyes. I set the picture on the cushion next to me.
"Hugo," Lily said in front of me. "What you are doing up this late," She saw the picture next to me. She picked it up and saw what it was. "Is this what I think it is?" I nodded, she hit on my head. "How did you get a girl pregnant?" Lily sat next to me. "And who is this girl?"
I took a breath. "You remember the party that Andrew Zinc threw before school," Lily nodded. "I met Amanda Longbottom by the drinks and we drank. I took her out to the dance floor and after two dances I asked if she wanted to leave. We went back to my house and we had sex. Now she's going to have my baby." I told my cousin.
"Amanda Longbottom is going to have your baby." I nodded.
"Professor Longbottom's only daughter." I nodded again. "The girl we grew up with. Her parents are friends with our parents."
"Yes, Lily." I whispered loudly.
"Wow." Lily looked at the picture. "Your parents are going to kill you."
"I know and remember Amanda has two older brothers and a father who controls my grade."
"You will never see your kid." Lily handed me the picture. "How are you going to tell your parents?"
"I don't know but I will have to tell them soon before I send in my auror application."
"I thought you wanted to be a quidditch player." Lily looked in the fire.
"Yeah, but now I have a child to care for and becoming a quidditch player is hard. If you don't get recruited in school, you have to go to trials and if that doesn't work I'll be working at the shop for the rest of my life." Lily nodded in agreement.
"Good luck. Now that we figure that all out can I be happy for you." Lily had on a smile.
"Yes, I'm going to dad." I smiled too.
"If your mum doesn't kill you first," I nodded. We laughed. We went to bed soon after that and I didn't mind seeing all the babies in my dream.
