And, one year after our last update… We're back! Yay! So, the chapter you have all been waiting for…

Chapter 10

Lily POV

"Sit, sit." Dumbledore gestures towards some chairs in his office, and sits behind his desk. "Lemon drop?"

"Ooh, yes please!" Sirius and James take five each. I stare at them, trying to be polite, so I only take one.

"Now, I understand that all of you have been through a very traumatizing ordeal tonight. Would you care to tell me about it? Miss Evans?" He peers down at me through his half-moon spectacles.

"Well, I don't want to go into a lot of detail. Suffice to say that I was kidnapped by Lord Voldemort, he took me to his lair and… and….well...er…" I don't really want to tell Dumbledore about my sex life. Luckily for me, Sirius has no such qualms.

"They were going at it like to rabbits on Viagra!" Sirius exclaims brightly. I blush.

"Ah. I see. Well, I know of a good therapist in London if you'd like" I look at James. James looks at Sirius, who looks at Remus, who looks at me. We all shake our heads.

"That's really okay," I say "I'd prefer a memory charm if you don't mind."

"A memory charm?" Dumbledore's bright blue eyes twinkle at me. "Well, I suppose we could explore that option… It was a rather traumatic experience."

"What?! I don't want anybody messing around with my head. It might ruin my stunning good looks." Sirius protests.

"And your modesty." Remus mumbles.

"And anyways, personally I would like to always remember the sight of Lily and Voldemort going at it like-"

"I understand, Mr. Black." Dumbledore smiles.

"I don't think I want one either." Remus says. "I don't want to forget the sight of James falling off his broomstick for once."

"Mr. Potter?" Dumbledore inquires.

"If Lily is going to have one, then I'll get my memory erased as well." James says after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, then. Mr. Black, Mr. Lupin, you may leave. I'm sure you know the way to the kitchens. Go get some hot chocolate." Sirius and Remus scamper off like the puppies they are.

"Mr. Potter, Miss Evans, if you would stand over there." Dumbledore gestures towards the center of the room…

One month later

"Maybe you should go see the nurse Lily." James suggests worriedly

"What? Is there something wrong with me, do you think there's something wrong with me?!" I snap back at him.

"No, Lily. It's just that you've been throwing up every morning for the past week. I'm worried about you."

"Fine. But if I get in trouble for missing class, you're going to pay."

"Lily, classes are almost over."

"I don't care. I need to pass my N.E.W.T.s"

"You'll do fine." James assures me.

And with a twinkle in his eye and a spring in his step he heads up to the nurse. I follow reluctantly.

Ten minutes later

"I'm WHAT??" I shriek at Madam Pomfrey.

"Pregnant. And you have been for about a month."

I feel the blood draining out of my face. How could I be pregnant? James and I had always… oh, wait. No. Damn. I realize that Madam Pomfrey has been speaking for the last two minutes.

"… and of course, you know, that wizarding pregnancies last six months longer than muggle pregnancies. So your baby will be due in late July, early August."

I nod, too stunned to speak. After a moment I ask "Can I go now?"

"Of course my dear. Now, take good care of yourself, and eat lots of folic acids."

I exit the infirmary and run straight into James.

"So? Are you okay?" James asks.

"Where's Sirius? I think I'm going to need someone to catch you…"

"Right here!" Sirius calls out "So, what's going on?"

"James…" I take a deep breath. "I'm pregnant."

"Bloody hell." And right on cue, James faints.

"I'll get the smelling salts." Sirius pulls a vial out of his pocket, uncorks it and waves it under James's nose. He wakes up and stares at me. And pulls himself up so that he is up on one knee. Oh my…

"Lily, will you marry me?" He pulls out of his pocket the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. "I've been carrying this around with me for months, waiting for the right moment to ask you. Will you?"

I start to cry. "Yes James, I will."

Later

General POV

"So Albus. I like your new earmuffs."

"Really?" Albus blushes a lovely shade of scarlet.

"Oh yes. They're very charming." Madam Pomfrey blushes also.

"So Poppy, what's the news from the hospital wing?" Albus asks, his eyes twinkling madly.

"Oh! I was going to tell you, but then I got… distracted. Lily Evans is pregnant! Can you imagine? At least she has only two weeks left at school, so she won't miss any of her classes. She's such a bright girl."

"Indeed she is." Albus gets up and put on a bathrobe, ignoring Poppy's blush at his nudity. He walks over to his desk and pulls out some papers.

"Hmmm… this is indeed exceedingly intriguing. Poppy, do you know who the father is?"

"Well, I didn't do any tests, but I assumed it's James Potter. I mean, the two are practically conjoined twins. Who else would it be?"

"Oh, no one. Just… I'm sure it's nothing."

"Albus, does this have anything to do with Miss Evan's kidnapping a month ago?"

"I think Poppy, that it would be better if we did not speak of it."

Dumbledore POV

I hate invading the privacy of my students, but I told myself that this was for security reasons. I quietly entered Lily's room, being careful not to wake her up.

"Creoreapse" I whisper flicking my wand over Lily's sleeping form. It took a moment, but there it was. A silver flash and it was just as I had feared. Tom Riddle's face looms over Lily's sleeping body. I sigh. I had hoped that I wouldn't have had to do this next spell.

"Celogenitor." There is another flash of light, green this time. Lily stirs, and I start, but then she rolls over and begins to snore. I slip out of the room, hoping I've done the right thing.

Authors Note:

Us + Latin Translator weird sounding spells. Oh well. In case you were wondering, Creo means" to produce, to beget, of parents" and Reapse means "in truth". Celo means "to hide, conceal, keep secret" and Genitor means "a begetter, father, producer".

Please review- we would like to get 50 by the end of the story which is in... two chapters! Oh my! Egg has also written a death scene for Lily and James that we've decided to put in as a seperate story, so we'll be putting that up as soon as this is over. -Catlyn
