"Um, No?"
After the first day of classes ended, Felicity was heading towards the Ravenclaw common room. She had just had Transfiguration with the Hufflepuffs and was feeling pretty down as she hadn't seemed to be able to do anything right. Usually she was really good at transfiguration, but today wasn't good for her.
She was about to say the password and go in, when she remembered what she had said to Flint. Honestly, she dreaded going to see him especially since she was now pregnant and with Blaise's kid. She sighed. Now she had something to fix with each one of the big evil Slytherin guys. Turning, she decided to go talk to Flint anyway.
Reaching the dungeons, she looked around. The dungeons were really cold, and she had no idea where the actual entrance for the Slytherin common room was. She shivered slightly and peeked around a corner. Nothing. Maybe she could talk to him tomorrow, tell him she couldn't find it or something. Yeah, good excuse.
"You came." Felicity shivered again as a hand slipped around her waist, pulling her round to face him. Putting on her smile, she nodded.
"I was about to leave, where's the entrance?" she asked innocently. Flint chuckled softly, bringing his face up closer to hers.
"Over there." he whispered, pointing to a wall. "I'll show you." he said, leading her over and whispering the password. Slowly, a door wavered into view in front of them and he opened it, leading her in. He glanced at her for a second, and then pulled the hood of her robes over her head.
"What's that for?" she said quietly.
"Malfoy's in here." Flint chuckled. Felicity suddenly tensed up, wondering what she would do if he found out it was her. He already hated her enough, she didn't need him to hate her even more. "Relax, we're going to my room." he said, trying to lead her forward. She didn't move.
"No." she uttered the one word, but Flint had heard her.
"Excuse me?" he asked, coming up close to her and staring at her face that was partly covered by the hood.
"Flint stop leading in unwilling victims." Malfoy muttered from his seat in front of the fire.
"She hasn't been unwilling until now." Flint replied.
"Well then she must be a total nut-case. Who is it?" Felicity heard footsteps and then saw Malfoy's feet as he stopped beside Flint.
"Sorry mate, that's for me to know and you never to find out." Flint laughed.
"It's not Parkinson, is it?" Malfoy asked, trying to see under the hood which Felicity just tugged lower. "Cause if it's her just tell me and I'll stop trying to look. I mean, I don't want to look at her and you know that."
"Yeah, it's Parkinson." Flint said. Malfoy grunted and walked off, flopping down on the couch again.
"Tell her to have fun. That is, if she hasn't changed her mind yet." Flint nodded and tried to lead Felicity to his room again. She still didn't budge.
"Well fine, if you don't want to go to my room we'll do it right here." Flint said.
"I'm leaving." Malfoy said, getting up and running to his dorm.
"I didn't come here to kiss you," Felicity said angrily, pushing her hood back now that Malfoy was gone. "I came to tell you that I've been kissed now. So I'm sorry but you were too late." In that moment while Flint stood there in shock, she turned and fled from the room.
Felicity entered her dorm and shut the door, glad that no one else was here yet. She leant against it and tried to breathe slowly. Her heart was racing at the fear of what almost happened. Rule number one of being at Hogwarts: never talk to Flint.
"Liss? That you?" she heard Maddie walk up and knock on the door. Felicity stepped away from the door and went over to her bed, sitting down and looked at where Angel was sleeping on top of her carry-cage. "Liss?" Maddie called again. The door opened and she walked in slowly.
"Hey!" Felicity said, smiling over at her.
"Hey, why didn't you answer me?" she asked. Felicity shrugged innocently, still smiling.
"Sorry, I was just a bit lost in thought, that's all." she laughed. Maddie laughed and came over to her own bed, sitting down and crossing her legs.
"So, what are you allergic to?" Maddie asked.
"Pumpkin." Felicity said, shrugging sadly. It was true, she was allergic to pumpkin, but the only thing was she hadn't had any at lunch. She hoped Maddie wouldn't remember that.
"Oh man! That sucks!" Maddie said. "We have pumpkin juice every meal!" she said.
"It's okay, really." Felicity said, smiling. "I don't really like it much anyway, so no major loss for me!" she giggled.
"Well at least you're okay with it." Maddie grinned. "Cute kitty by the way, what's her name?" she asked.
"Angel." Felicity answered, looking over at the sweet little Angel. "Draco bought her for me." she said quietly.
"Aww! That's so romantic!" she said. "So are you guys serious or something?" Maddie raised her eyebrows in a teasing way and they both laughed.
"I'm not sure, honestly." she said. "It's a bit confusing."
"Come on, guys are confusing. It's something we girls have to deal with!" Maddie laughed and Felicity poked her tongue out, chucking her pillow at her. "Hey! Pillow fight!" Maddie yelled, grabbing hers and Felicity's pillows and whacking Felicity over the head with them.
"Ahh!" Felicity squealed, a smile on her face as she wrestled with Maddie for her pillow.
"Um excuse me- ahh!" the first year at the door screamed and ducked as a pillow was thrown at her.
"Sorry! I thought you were someone else." Maddie said, running over and picking her pillow up again. "Did you want something?"
"Oh, uh, yeah." the first year girl stuttered. "Blaise Zab- something is at the door to see Felicity." she said. Felicity's good mood drained from her in an instant as she wondered what Blaise could possibly want. Was he going to say sorry for 'mysteriously' getting her pregnant?
"Right, um." Felicity stood up and put her pillow back on her bed.
"Oh man, you've got all the Slytherins going for you!" Maddie laughed, gently punching her arm. Felicity rolled her eyes and walked out, not bothering to tell Maddie just how right she was. Walking down the stairs and across the common room, she opened the door.
"What do you want?" she asked. Blaise stood there looking worried and he looked up at her, smiling.
"I just wanted to check if you were okay. Malfoy looked pretty angry, I wanted to check he hadn't hurt you." he explained.
"Well I'm fine, thanks for dropping by." she said, going to close the door. His hand shot out and kept it open, his other hand reaching for hers and gently pulling her out of the common room so they could talk privately.
"What's wrong? What got Malfoy so angry and why were you crying so hard?" he asked, genuine concern in his eyes.
"Don't act like you don't know!" Felicity said, snatching her hand away from him and glaring. "I mean, it's not like neither of us can know. That just wouldn't be possible." she mumbled.
"What's not possible?" he asked. "Please Felicity, tell me!" he begged.
"First of all, I want you to tell me honestly if you remember doing anything to me that could have upset my emotional health." she said.
"Um, no?" he asked. "Look, I have no idea what you're talking about! Please, just tell me! Is this what Malfoy's upset about? Does he think we did something?" he asked.
"Yes, he does. He's pretty much convinced actually. So am I." she said. It was all she could do to stop from crying. Blaise blinked.
"I'm still a little lost." he said quietly.
"I'm pregnant, and you're the father." she choked out. Any minute now, you'll freak out and run away, Felicity thought sadly.
"I'm what?" he asked slowly. Felicity didn't speak, she just stood there waiting for the words to sink in. Which they did. "So you don't remember um, doing anything?" he asked.
"No. Why, do you?" Felicity asked. "Cause if you drugged me or something I'm gonna kick your butt." she threatened.
"No, I don't remember anything either." he said. "That's just, not possible!" he exclaimed, running a shaky hand through his hair. "And you say Malfoy knows?" he asked.
"Yeah, it didn't really come out as I had planned." Felicity paused and then added, "Seeing as I hadn't exactly planned on telling him at all." Blaise chuckled lightly.
"Are you going to get rid of it?" he asked.
"No way! Murder!" she said. He sighed in relief.
"Oh good. I know I'm not a girl and I'll never know what it feels like, but I'm against abortion." he said. Felicity nodded, smiling.
"Me too." she agreed.
"So uh," Blaise swallowed. "Does anyone else know?" he asked quietly. Felicity looked down and shook her head.
"You know I was thinking you were going to freak out and run off as soon as you found out." she laughed lightly, but it was hollow. He put an arm around her shoulders, smiling down at her sweetly.
"I'd never do that to a girl." he said. She smiled up at him, deciding that Blaise was the kind of guy who would be there for her any time.
"Blaise, you know how Draco and I are engaged?" she asked slowly. He nodded and waited for her to continue. "Well, I don't really want to be, and we were going to plan a way to get out of it but now Draco's acting weird as if he actually wants to get married and I just don't know what to do any more!" she said.
"Hey, don't worry about it. He'll get over it eventually." Blaise encouraged.
"I hope so. But now my mum's angry at me for getting into Ravenclaw and she said Mr Malfoy was angry as well, then he sends me a letter saying he's sorry for making my mum yell at me and he makes me some blue drink and then suddenly bam! I'm pregnant!" she said. Blaise stared at her.
"What did you say?" he asked.
"Please don't make me repeat it all over again." Felicity grumbled.
"No, the last part. Mr Malfoy made you a drink and you got pregnant?" he asked. She looked up at him, frowning.
"But that's not possible!" she said.
"You said it, not me." Blaise said. Felicity looked at the floor, thinking it over in her head. It made sense, sort of. It would explain her not remembering anything.
"But why would he do that?" Felicity asked. "He was trying to say sorry for getting angry in the first place." Blaise looked down, an idea of why forming in his head.
"I've been Malfoy's friend for a while, so I kind of know a bit about how his fathers mind works. It's just a guess, but I think he wanted you to think he was saying sorry when he was actually getting revenge. The drink was the revenge." Felicity blinked, her mouth falling open.
"I'm going to kill him!" Felicity yelled.
"Well, you can try." Blaise chuckled. "But for now, just go back and relax for the rest of the day. Don't want our baby getting stressed out." Felicity looked up at him, and then he realised what he'd said and gulped.
"Right, our baby." Felicity said quietly, smiling at him.
"What did you just say?" Felicity and Blaise jumped, spinning around to see Maddie standing in the doorway of the Ravenclaw common room with her jaw almost touching the ground.
"Our baby." Blaise said. "It was just a bit of a joke. You know, cause there's this kid in first year that's in Slytherin and I just asked her for help to build up his confidence. And we were joking that he was like a little baby kinda thing." he explained.
"Oh phew, here I was thinking I'd have to lecture Felicity about waiting." Maddie laughed. Felicity and Blaise laughed, giving each other knowing glances. "Come on Liss, I want to tell you who I like." Maddie said, waving to Blaise as she pulled Felicity into the common room. Felicity shrugged to him before the door shut and she followed Maddie up to the dorms, listening to her ramble on about some 'drop-dead-gorgeous' guy in Hufflepuff.
