Amare sat in the hallway at her house. This couldn't be happening to her. She had a sister who was a year old. This couldn't be happening. She banged her head against the wall five times when she heard Ginny shout up the stairs.

"STOP THAT!"

She sighed and put her head in her knees, crying. She ran a hand through her short hair and then sighed loudly. Tears were still coming from her eyes and James walked passed her. She had known it, but it just hit her now. This second. As she sat in the hallway, thinking about her life plans. This wasn't part of it.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

She shook her head. "Nothing, James. I'm fine." She said.

"You're crying."

"It's complicated." She said. "Very complicated. You… wouldn't understand. I… I… I need to talk to Teddy. Yes. Teddy. He needs to know first."

"What are you doing?" He asked.

Amare wiped her eyes. "Right now, I'm going to visit Teddy."

"Okay." James said. "can I come?" Amare shook her head and there was a loud crack from downstairs and Lily started crying. Amare and James sighed and then walked down the stairs. James sat at the breakfast table and Amare smiled at Ted, who wasn't smiling. She walked over to him and gave him a kiss.

"Amare needs to talk to you." James said to him.

"Yeah… I need to talk to her too." Teddy said. "Can we go outside or… somewhere else."

"Yeah." Amare said. He took her hand and brought her outdoors, where it was cold. She shivered, her bare feet touching the cold, icy stone on the ground.

"I uh…" He stared.

"What is it?" She asked. She didn't want to go first.

"I'm being transferred." He said, not looking at her. She stared at him. "To… Australia…" He said slowly.

Amare looked down at the ground, playing with the snow with her toes. "Alright." She said.

"What did you have to say?"

"Oh… I just… I wanted to talk to you because I hadn't seen you today yet. When're you leaving?"

He sighed. "Christmas eve."

Tears started coming from Amare's eyes. Teddy wrapped his arms around her and he held her closely. She cried into his shirt. She was pregnant. He was going to Australia. In three days. On Christmas Eve. A sob escaped her and then she couldn't stop.

"I'm sorry." She said.

"No, I am." He said, kissing her cheek. "It'll… I think it would be best if we broke it off." He said with his arms still wrapped around her.

"I'll miss you." She said, kissing his cheeks. He nodded.

"Same." She looked up in his eyes. She felt like she was going to throw up and ran inside the house and to the bathroom before she could. She vomited in the toilet and then sat up. She wiped her mouth and sighed. Should she get an abortion.

"Mars Bar, what's wrong?" Her father asked, walking into the room and sitting down besides her on the edge of the bath tub. She hugged him tightly and started sobbing again.

"Babe, what's wrong?" He whispered, putting an arm around her shoulder. She pulled her wand out and closed the door.

"Muffliato." She whispered. She turned to her father, a worried look on his face.

"What is it?" He asked.

"I… er… I uh… think… pregnant." She mumbled inaudibly.

"What?" He asked.

"I think I'm pregnant!" She cried.

"Aw, Amare." He said, hugging her tightly.

"Do you know who the father is?" he asked.

"Ted." She said. "But he's being transferred to Australia, this won't work. I can't ruin this for him, dad."

"I know. This means a lot to him." Harry said, rubbing her back. "He has a right to know, though."

"I can't ruin this for him!" Amare said. "I care about him and I know he wants to do this. I know he does. And he has to. I won't be able to live with myself knowing I kept him away from his dreams. He's always wanted to be a part of other countries and Australia is his dream."

Harry looked at her and nodded. "Alright." He said. "I… won't tell him."

"Thanks daddy." She said, hugging him tightly. There was a knock on the door.

"Is Amare alright?" Ginny asked. Amare lifted the charm.

"Yes." She said.

Harry shook his head. "And if you tell Ginny she's gonna be pissed, so please don't say anything to her."

"She's my wife, Amare. I need to."

"Please don't." Amare said.

"I tell her everything."

"Fine. If you want her to hate me even more—"

"She just hates your attitude."

"Like that's any better." Amare muttered. She got up and exited the bathroom, brushing past Ginny with her nose in the air. She walked down the stairs and sat at the table. She put a hand on her stomach and sighed. This was not going to be good.

"What's wrong?" Al asked, looking at her puffy eyes.

"Ted… he's going to Australia. I don't know when I'll be able to see him again, and it makes me sad." Amare said.

"Oh." Al said. "Teddy's leaving?" he asked.

"Yeah." Harry said. "But it's not bad, you'll still see him."

"Then why is Amare so sad?" Al asked.

Harry sighed.

"You'll find out one day, Al. I can almost guarantee you'll feel this low one day—wait, no… that's impossible. Never mind. I'm going back to bed." She got up and walked up stairs.

"Amare, we're going school shopping today for extra supplies for you, so no you are not going back to bed."

"Shut up Ginerva, I can do what I want."

"Amare!" Harry shouted.

"Sorry, daddy." Amare said, walking into her bedroom. She collapsed on her bed and closed her eyes, falling asleep.
