Approximately one month had passed since the beginning of the school year. A painful 20 days under the wrath of the Carrows (it turned out that they made toad-faced Umbridge seem as tame and sweet as the Ecuild Sofeestinds compared to them). A painful 20 days of trying to do so much work and not completely wreck her pregnancy (she hadn't even been to see a Healer yet). A 20 days of.. avoiding Malfoy. This was the easiest to do out of the rest, since he barely even glanced her way.

What else had happened in those 20 days? Oh yes, she had Ginny tell Neville 'the secret' shortly after he had seen her rushing off to the bathroom (in fact, it was sort of a daily routine nowadays). He had gawked at her suddenly-pregnant-sized-belly (when nobody knew the secret, it just looked like flat belly) and said the word "you're pregnant?" many times. He also turned extremely red when he discovered that the father of the child was the bully-enemy Draco Malfoy. It was quite amusing to watch, but got annoying.

Now, on to the subjects. Since muggle-born students couldn't attend Hogwarts anymore, there were less students and, thus, more classes were shared with other Year students (meaning she had a class with Draco Malfoy). She had: Double Potions, Double Defense Against The Dark Arts, Muggle Studies, Astronomy, and Divination.
Potions always seemed long, and was shared with 6th year Ravenclaws and the 7th year Slytherins (He was the reason why it seemed so long and tedious).
Defense Against the Dark Arts was really just the Dark Arts, since it was a Death-Eater controlled Hogwarts. Amycus Carrow taught this class, and he loved to punish students. She shared this class with Gryffindors, and Ginny hated it as much as she did.
Muggle Studies was made compulsary, so she had no choice but to listen to Alecto Carrow talk about how muggles would be better of dead and nonsense like that. She would actually use the Imperius Curse on students and make them act like "the stupid muggles that don't know magic" (her quote being quite ignorant, since muggles obviously couldn't ever just learn magic).
Astronomy was fun and fascinating. It was, perhaps, one of the few classes that stayed the same despite Hogwarts being run by Voldemort (to an extent).
Luna had Divination with Professor Trelawney this year, and this class was by far the most accurate. Sybill Trelawney was a true Seer.

Luna was currently contemplating this while in her Potions class. Since she hadn't been paying much attention to what she was doing (in the physical sense), she had accidently put in 2 hand-fulls of Gurdyroots instead of just one. The potion (which was called the Droughting Potion or something like that) was turning purple rather than black. Personally, Luna liked the exotic purplish color rather than a boring misery color, but tried to fix the mistake by doubling everything else too . It turned the black color that it was supposed to turn into, but also looked as if smoke was coming off of it. That can't be good.She decided to add in some roses to the mix (to smell better at the least. Because why else would a Potions classroom have roses in the first place?) and some water. It possibly wasn't in the ingredients, but she trusted her Ravenclaw mind sometimes could stray from the rules and come up with something brilliant.

Sure enough, when Professor Slughorn came to see the finished potions, he stopped by Luna's and sniffed the fumes. "Ah, the watered roses do make the potion much better and effective. Great thinking, 10 points to Ravenclaw!". Then he leaned in and said, in a softer tone "And, of course, a friend of Potter must reflect some of his great potion skills!". The other Ravenclaws looked jealous, as did some of the Slytherins. Slughorn had been extremely saddened by the fact that Harry Potter (his favorite student) wasn't coming back for his 7th year. So he had been trying to find replacements. Most of the other Ravenclaws still looked angry at her for stealing their glory (most likely) but only one Slytherin kept looking at her. Since destiny or irony was rather cruel to Luna, it was no-one other than Draco Malfoy himself.

Why was he looking at her so? Like she had done something wrong? Well.. she had done something wrong (and so did he, since he had been involved in the act as well), but why wasn't he over it yet? Luna was sure he had already lost his virginity to Pansy Parkinson. His cold glare seemed to be burning onto her back as she pretended not to notice him rudely staring.

RING, RING, RING

The thundering 'rings' of the Clock Tower could be heard, signaling the end of class. Luna couldn't be more glad for this, and immediately walked out of the class.

It was time.

She met up with Ginny and Neville at the library. "Did you bring the book?" Ginny asked. Luna nodded.

To explain it, 'the book' meant her Pregnancy Book. And, in that book, it marked today as a very special day: the day when she would find out the baby's gender. Luna personally thought (and hoped) that it was a boy. Ginny wanted it to be a boy too. But Neville, on the other hand, thought a girl would be cute. Finding out the gender was a large portion in the things that Luna had been thinking of for the last few days. It signified that the whole pregnancy was actually real (and that a miscarriage would be very rare, in other words, probably not going to happen). After all, she hadn't given much thought about what would happen after giving labor...

There were really only 3 choices: become a teen mother, give it up for adoption, or abortion. And the last one was so cruel (even if it was the offspring of a Death Eater) that she could never bring it in her to do. Even if it was the easiest of the 3 choices. Adoption was easy to do, her baby wouldn't even have to know that Luna was her mother. But the good part of that was also the bad part; she couldn't just give it up after 9 months of carrying. Not to mention that there was a chance Draco Malfoy would see that child someday, and find out it looked very similar to him.

Only the 1st choice remained, to become a teen mother. Losing her 7th year of education at Hogwarts to take care of the child. But this wasn't even the worst part: The Fidelius Charm could not work after she would give birth to the child. The 'secret' had been to hide her pregnancy, not exactly the baby. So, it would be very strange indeed if a blonde haired and grey-eyed (both of it's parents having the same eye and hair traits, it would be uncommon for the child not to have it as well) baby just appeared one day in the Lovegood's house. Since Luna's mother died, she couldn't pretend that the son/daughter was her sister/brother. And no student of Hogwarts would believe that it was her child, since she was seen, by them, to have a normally flat stomach with no signs of pregnancy. So what on earth would she do?

But it seemed too happy a day to think these things, so Luna tried not to. Instead, she thought about getting pink or blue baby clothes when she would find out the gender. Perhaps even pick out names! Lorcan Lovegood sounded cute for a boy. Yet she also liked how nice Reyene Lovegood sounded too. Ah, so many names!

"Luna?" Neville must have noticed her facial expression turn from worried to, suddenly, a bubbly sort of mood. Yes, she liked that name too: Bubbly. It was so fun to say.

"Oh, yes. Well, let's start!" Luna announced, still thinking about her new-made bubblyness. Is that even a word?

"Sssh! No talking in the library!" Madam Pince, the librarian seemed to hiss at them. Luna, Ginny, and Neville did what every other student did when they were shushed up (perhaps every student but Hermione); they kept on talking and payed no attention to the librarian, of course. Instead of being silent, the three quietly moved to a section as far from Madam Pince as they could.

"Open the book up!" Ginny ordered-whispered. Luna opened it up to page 23, and read the following:

"

FINDING OUT THE GENDER OF YOUR BABY
For you and your husband, this must be a exciting opportunity! Choosing names and picking out clothes! You can use the potion labeled 'Gentonic' (it can be bought or made) to find out if your baby is a boy or a girl. You drink the potion, and if it turns blue, its a boy! Pink for a girl!

"

Obviously, this was for planned pregnancies between loving spouses. Luna Lovegood wasn't even Malfoy's girlfriend, didn't even call him by his first name, and did not plan to get knocked up at her tender young age.

Then again, who did?

"Did you bring it, Neville?" Luna asked in a dreamy-sounding voice. He nodded, and got the potion from his school bag. They went to a secluded area, and that was where Luna drank the potion.

Strangely enough, it tasted of bubbles, reminding her of her new favorite word. "Open up your mouth.. Saw ahhhhh" Ginny seemed to be pretending to be a muggle dentist (her father really was too obsessed with them) and Luna did so.

"What color is it? Pink or blue?" Luna tried to see bring her tongue up to see it, and she succeeded.

It was the color -

"Loony, your tongue is blue" Draco Malfoy seemed to pop out of nowhere. What was up with him randomly appearing at the important moments of her life?


OK, I just HAD to put that plot twist part-thing in! And no, he still doesnt have a clue that she is pregnant..
