Rose POV

I woke up early on Saturday morning, my nerves preventing me from staying in bed any later than seven. As I had gotten up early, I took a nice long, hot shower. After getting dressed, I walked down to the Great Hall for breakfast. It was still early, but there was already a fair amount of people eating. I sat at the Ravenclaw table and filled my plate with food, mainly sausages and rashers. I chanced a glance over at the Slytherin table, but Scorpius wasn't there yet.

I finished my breakfast and, as there was still no sign of Scorpius, I walked back up to my common room. To my suprise, I found Scorpius sitting in the common room talking to Joseph and Conor. As soon as I walked in, they stopped talking. They all looked quite serious, which made me feel uneasy.

"Hey Rose" Scorpius said as I sat down beside him.

"What were you all talking about?" I asked.

Scorpius nodded over at Joseph and Conor, who got up and left. I watched them until the door closed behind them and then turned to face Scorpius with one eyebrow raised.

"I think we should tell Al" he said.

As soon as I started to think about it, I agreed. Al had been the only one to know that we were dating. He deserved to know that I was pregnant. But was now really the right time?

"Today?" I asked him.

"I don't see why not" Scorpius replied. "I was talking to Joseph and Conor about it too and they agree with me. He has known that we've been dating for a year now. I think we should tell him first".

I could see that Scorpius really wanted this. I nodded my head in agreement and he smiled. There was a knock on the door. I stood up and went to open it. To my suprise, it was Albus – and we had only just been talking about him.

"Hey Al" I said, shutting the door behind him as he walked in and sat down.

"We have something to tell you" Scorpius said, barely letting Al's bum hit the couch. I sat back in my seat beside Scorpius.

"I'm pregnant" I said.

Albus stared at me in shock. Quite understandable really, considering that he had been given no warning at all. The room was filled with a silence. Then I heard a tapping at the window. Scorpius walked over to let the owl in.

"It's for you, Rose" he called out. I walked over and took it from him. I opened it and quickly scanned down the contents.

"Shit" I said.

"What?" came the simultaneous response from the boys.

I began running around, pulling on my coat and shoes as I replied.

"My parents, something came up, I have to meet them in ten minutes" I said, wrapping my scarf around my neck and grabbing my gloves from where they lay beside the fireplace.

"I'll see you both later, bye!" I called as I ran out of the door. I ran through most of the building, but slowed to a walk as I reached the door. There was no point trying to run through the crowd of students that were moving out into the grounds.

Winter had come early to Hogsmeade. It was only the end of October and it was bloody freezing. I rubbed my gloved hands together and shoved them into my pockets. I pulled my Ravenclaw scarf tighter around my neck and battled through the strong winds until I reached the door of the Three Broomsticks. I had left Hogwarts early enough that it was still almost empty. I spotted my parents sitting at a table in a corner away from the door. I walked over to them and sat down.

"Rosie!" my mum exclaimed. "How are you darling? How is Head Girl going? Is the Head Boy nice to you? And your classes, how are your classes? Can you handle the homework? Are you feeling stressed? Is that what you need to talk to us about?" she rushed out.

"Calm down Hermione, let her catch her breath" my dad said, smiling at me. In fairness, I could understand why my mum's brain was working over time. I had never, ever, asked them to meet me in Hogsmeade before. She must be thinking something big has happened. Nothing mhuge had really. I mean, I wouldconsider a baby a small thing, wouldn't you?

"I'm fine Mum, my classes and the Head Boy are fine. I promise. It's something else".

She perked up a bit, noticably a bit excited.

"Is it a boy? I knew it was. I told Ginny that you'd find yourself a boyfriend this year" was what she said.

I sighed. I had hoped that she wasn't going to be excited about me getting a boyfriend. It will just make it so much worse when she finds out that I have one, and have for a year. And he isn't exactly someone she would like.

My dad let out a little chuckle.

"Please Hermione. My little Rosie is far too young to be interested in boys".

Bloody hell. If my dad thought that I was too young to even be interested in boys, how would he take the news that I was having one's baby?

"Mum's right, Dad. It's a boy, but it's more than that".

I could tell by the looks on their faces that I would have to go through this step by step.

"You both know Al's friend, Scorpius, don't you?"

"That Malfoy boy?" my dad practically spat. This was going well.

"Yeah. Well, about a year ago we started going out. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be angry. Anyway, the reason that I'm telling you now is because I'm pregnant" I rushed out.

I watched as what I had said sunk in.

My mum seemed to be a mixture of angry and disappointed.

Dad, on the other hand, was furious. His face was bright red and his fists were clenched on the table.

"Oh Rose" my mum said. "You stupid, stupid girl". I opened my mouth to reply, but my dad beat me to it.

"Get out" he said coldly. "Get out of my sight" he spat. "I think it is best if you don't come home for Christmas. You should consider yourself no longer welcome in my house. You are no daughter of mine".

My jaw dropped open. I had expected him to react badly, but was kicking me out not a step too far? I stood up and pushed the chair in after me. I nodded at my parents and turned to leave.

I managed to hold back the tears until the door closed behind me. With tears streaming down my cheeks, I left to find Scorpius.

I hope that you still like this. Let me know if there's anything you think needs to happen and I'll see if I can fit it into the plan :)
