A few months later, some noticable changes were happening. I was getting bigger. I could pass for getting fat for about a month, but what would I do after that?

"Woah," Malfoy said, "Tucking it in, aren't you, Moore?" with his famous (annoying) smirk.

"Only because of you, Malfoy." I said, not noticing my HUGE mistake in saying that until later.

I'm sure he was a bit confused after that. Stupid git.

When I was talking to Fred later on, I REALLY noticed some changes.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

I started crying (I don't cry) "I'm... just.... really... upset!" I said, between sobs, "Everyone's going to know! And then... then...."

"It's okay, Angel." he said, putting his arm around me, "They might find out about you, but nobody'll even THINK about who the father is."

"And WHY wouldn't they!" I started yelling, "How ELSE would I be having a baby!?!"

The mood swings are killing me... along with the morning sickness, energy loss, and hunger.


In potions class later that day, I made a small mistake with the mandrake roots.

"So impudent." Snape had said, "You were SUPPOSED to cut them into one-inch pieces, not three-inch. Can you not READ?"

I started crying right there, "I'm sorry, professor." between sniffles, "I'll try to fix it."

"Are you crying!?" he said, rather loudly, "40 points from Gryffindor. I will NOT have that kind of behavior in my classroom."


"He shouldn't have taken that many points." Andrea said, "I'm sure Dumbledore told all of the professors about your condition. Why is he still acting like that?"

"Because he likes torturing me." I said, sobbing, "I'm sorry for getting emotional like that."

"It's not your fault." she said, "I think I'm going to do that in the next class, and just see what he does about it."

"It was completely rude." Fred said, "You're going to have a baby that hates him. No question about it."


A few months later, more and more people started noticing my rather large stomach.

"Wow." one Slytherin girl said, "She's REALLY letting herself go. Just look at her. She's such a cow."

Another said, "What is wrong with her? She should REALLY try to look better."

One sympathized, "Maybe something happened to one of her parents. Her sister seems fine. That MUST be it."

I thanked the last one for caring. She gave me a small smile that told me she knew what I was going through. How she knew, I'd never know, but I did go to her when the Slytherins were bothering me.


As it turns out, the Slytherin's name was Kaida. I must've talked to her for hours every day.

She knew what was going on because it happened to her. She's a seventh year, and was a fifth year at the time. I guess I never paid much attention to the gossip back then. She told me all about what would happen the next few times I went to St. Mungo's.

I told her that I was considering naming my daughter after her, because she was the only person that offered a kind word to me.

"Thank you." she said, "I'd be honored if you did."

"No, thank you." I replied, "You're being so kind. I figured all Slytherins were the same. Evil, uncaring jerks. But obviously, there have to be SOME nice ones. You are."


"So, I'm figuring out the baby's name." I told Andrea, George, and Fred, "What do you think of Kaida Electra?"

"I like Kaida." Andrea said, "What does it mean?"

"Little dragon." I replied.

"Cute." George said, "Why Electra?"

"Yeah," Fred said, "Why not Azura? Or Midori?"

"Yeah!" George said, "What do those even mean?"

"Sky blue, and green." he replied.

"Those are cute, but why not something NOT WEIRD!?!" Andrea said.

"Like what?" I asked.

"Capri." she said, "Or Graziella?"

"Kaida Capri?" George said.

"Kaida Graziella?" Fred said.

"I don't see it." they both said, shaking their heads.

We laughed a bit at them being all twin-ish for once. It was weird seeing them do that. Fred was always worried about me, and George was usually hanging on Andrea's every word. Seeing them agreeing on something was kinda cool.

"What about Kaida Juliet?" I asked.

"That's brilliant!" Fred and George said.

"I like that." Andrea said.

So it was decided, unanimously, that my daughter's name would be Kaida Juliet. Beautiful.


I talked to Slytherin Kaida later on and told her that we were using her name. She LOVED it.

"My middle name is Midori." she said.

"Seriously?" I asked, "That was one of the middle names that Fred tried to convince us to use."

We laughed for a bit. And talked a bit more. I decided that, should anything happen to me, failing Fred, my daughter would go to her.

"So, I'm her godmother?" she asked.

"Sure." I said, "We haven't found the perfect godfather, or backup godparents, but I'll let you know when we do."
