Amare rested her hands on her stomach as she boarded the Hogwarts express.

"If you need any help with anything, Amare just send me a letter alright." Harry said. Amare nodded. She hugged her father, took a deep breath, hugged each of her younger siblings, Ginny, and got onto the train with Candy behind her. They sat down in a compartment and Amare rested her head on the window, staring at the hectic people on the platform. The compartment door opened and she saw Victoire in the reflection of the window.

"I hear what happened with you and Ted." She said, sitting down across from Amare. "So you two are split up, right?"

"Yep." Amare muttered.

"So it's fine if I date him?"

"Like he'd want to." Amare muttered.

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that."

"Big bloody whoop,bitch." Amare muttered, still staring out the window. The train started to move and a tear slid down Amare's cheek.

"You're calling me a bitch?" Victoire asked. "I'm just asking if it's okay if I—"

"Shut up!" Amare said standing up. She pulled her wand out and Victoire put her hands on her hips.

"Are you serious?"

"You're forgetting something." Amare said. "Actually, you don't know something."

"And what's that?" Victoire asked.

"I'm pregnant with his child." Amare said. Victoire looked like she was going to pass out. Her face got paler than it already was and she stared at Amare.

"You're shitting me, right?" Victoire asked.

Amare shrugged. "We'll just have to wait and find out." She said.

Victoire narrowed her eyes at her. "I'm going to tell the whole school."

"Feel free." Amare said. "They'd find out sooner or later."

Victoire left the room, tripping on the hem of her long skirt, and glared at her through the window. She walked away and Amare turned to Candy.

"You aren't seriously pregnant." Candy said. "You can't be."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you."

"Amare! Whatever happened to everything?" Candy asked. "Everything. We used to tell each other everything." Candy looked close to tears. "I can't believe you."

She got up and left the compartment, going to sit with her boyfriend of the week, Amare assumed. Tears fell from her eyes. Why was her life such a mess? Teddy, her boyfriend of a year, moved away to Australia for more convenient work. Her sister as mad at her, she was pregnant with her ex boyfriend's child, and she was stuck at school. She was going to run away. She wasn't going back. She stood up and grabbed her trunk from the rack. She got it down and held onto it. She apparated away to the Hogs Head and entered the run-down pub. She walked in and smiled at the man behind the counter. He smiled at her and he was missing three teeth. She left the pub quickly and walked down the cold streets of Hogsmade to the Three Broomsticks. It was fairly empty and she walked to the counter, dragging her trunk.

"Hi, may I get a room?" Amare asked. The lady looked up at her.

"Yeah." She said. "You're Potter's kid, eh?"

"Uh… yeah." Amare said. "I'm… Potter's kid."

"You can have it free."

"Thank you." Amare said.

"Do you need a job? You look like a Hogwarts runaway."

"Ye-yeah, how'd you know?"

"You look like that sort." She said. "Come with me." She led Amare up the stairs and down a hallway with a few rooms. She opened number 7 and Amare walked in. It was really nice, better than she expected. It was like a log cabin and had a nice-looking bed. The door to the bathroom was a deep crimson and there was a nice view of Hogwarts.

"Thank you." Amare said.

"You're welcome, kid." The lady said. "Do you want to start work next week? Let you get settled and such."

"Thank you." Amare said. "I really do appreciate it."

"My pleasure." The lady said. She left the room and Amare sat down on the bed. She sprawled across it and closed her eyes, falling asleep.

She woke a few hours later, as a loud train rolled in. She ran to the window and craned her neck to see students filing out of a scarlet train. Her heart beat faster as she saw them. She should be with them. But she's not. And she can't be. She sighed and sat down on the bed. She pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill and wrote down on the parchment:

Dear dad.

I'm perfectly fine. Don't worry about me. Candy will probably send a letter freaking out. Tell her I'm safe and I'm closer than she thinks.

Love, Amare.

She stuck the letter to her owl and muttered, "Bring this to dad." The owl nodded and then flew out the window. She heard faint laughing and chatter from the kids from the carriages that pull themselves, bringing the kids up to Hogwarts, as she looked down upon them. She put a hand on her stomach and felt like she was going to throw up thinking about her child inside her. She held it in and stood up.

A week later, she was at her first day of work. Being a bartender was fairly simple. Ask what the person wants, and keep giving it to them. Don't stop until their just shy too drunk to pay the bill. It was boring.

She had started to notice her body start to change, also, within the next month. She had gained a couple pounds and her pants fit differently. She had the slightest bump on her stomach, and she decided it was going to be a boy. She was going to name him Cory Andre Potter. He was going to be her life and she knew how much work it was going to be. Her father hadn't sent her a letter and neither had Candy. Candy was probably still mad at her and her father wanted to give her some space. Teddy was still on mars, not anywhere near Amare was, and Amare was saving up her money.

The first Hogsmade weekend of the term was in February, for Valentine's day. It had now been a month and a half and she was four months pregnant. She was showing rather obviously to anyone who stared at her, Candy wouldn't be happy. This was obviously an important day for Amare's income. She needed this. She had on a pair of sneakers, jeans, and a blue t-shirt. The first set of kids came in and sat in a far corner. Amare had a feeling the fourth years were not going to move for the rest of the day. She walked over to them and smiled.

"Hi, I'm Sierra, I will be your server today." Amare said, looking at the group. She used one of her middle names so they wouldn't know it was her, just a look-a-like. "Would you like some drinks?"

"Butterbeers for all." One of the boys said quickly before looking down at a piece of parchment one of them had taken out. Amare went back and got them five butterbeers as more people had entered and spread out throughout the room. Before she knew It she was running around all over the room, serving everyone. Her pockets were stuffed full of tips and she went to one table by the window and stopped, staring at the group of people. Candy, Kiora, Lisa, and Paul, a Hufflepuff clinging to Candy, looked up at her. Amare looked at them. She locked eyes with Candy and Candy's eyes lit up.

"Amare!" Candy exclaimed. "What… what're you doing here?"

Amare looked at her, not saying anything. Candy stood up and left the room. Amare looked down at the ground and Paul got up to follow her. Amare glanced at Kiora and Lisa.

"Hi." She muttered.

"I think we'll just leave." Kiora said. "Sorry."

"It was nice seeing you." Lisa said. She reached into her pocket. "Here. Candy told us what happened." Lisa handed her a silk pouch.

"No." Amare said.

"Keep it, Amare. Happy Valentines day." She smirked. Her and Kiora left and Amare put the heavy pouch in her pocket and continued serving for people. Why did she do this? Why did this happen to her? Was it wrong that she regretted it? She had never regretted anything in her life up until now.

A/N: I'm still sort of sad that I haven't gotten any reviews. So would you answer these questions for me?

Do you think Amare should let Ted be a part of the kid's life?

Do you like this story in general?

Does it measure up to your expectations?
