Nothing negative about the baby…? All right! And there's no need to send milk bottles/baby food/diapers, the baby isn't coming anytime soon. :-) Thanks to everyone for supporting the story. It really means a lot.

(Throws rattles at people)

The next day at Hogwarts wasn't anything special. Bloo the Hufflepuff and Chef McMuesli were back to doing work, while Amy Rose was still in the hospital wing, relaxing for the week. Her sleeping pills were helping her quite a bit, as she is required to use three pills every four hours.

C'mon, somebody, visit me, Amy thought, praying silently. Her prayers must have come true, as Nurse Leslie said behind her room door a second later, "Amy, you have a guest. They'll come in a second. Get ready."

Amy smiled as she sat bolt straight in her bed. She had taken a shower two hours ago, so her hair was well groomed, her eyes no longer bloodshot, and face bursting with happiness. She said, "Come in!" and took a drink of water from her cup on the end table near her.

The door opened, which revealed that…

…Lazlo, Raj and Clam the Hufflepuffs were visiting Amy. She gave a groan of disgust. Raj noticed and whispered to Lazlo, "I don't think she wants to see us."

Lazlo whispered back, "Of course she does!"

"Hi!" Clam said, walking up to Amy, whose face looked rather annoyed and bored. She said in a forced tone of voice, "Hi."

"Didja see our card?" Lazlo asked, with a grin, ignorant to Amy's exasperation. "Yes, I did," the hedgehog replied once more in her forced voice. Raj asked nervously, pretending the girl wasn't as fiery as Hell, "Did you find out your aller-"

At this point Amy snapped. Her hands were balled into fists, and she was shaking with a purple face. She'd never been this angry. Ever. She grabbed her infamous Piko Hammer and held it in a threatening way towards the boys.

"NUUUUURSE LESLIEEEEEE!!!"

At this point, the Nurse wheeled in with his chair quickly, grabbed all three boys by their tails and yanked them out of the room, and kicked them out of the hospital wing. The boys all shared sad looks, as they walked to their classrooms.

"Was it something we said?" Clam asked as they were walking.

In a hallway, Sonic and Knuckles the Gryffindors were walking towards their next class when Knuckles stopped walking for a second. Sonic asked, "What's wrong?"

"Did you hear someone scream?" Knuckles asked, referring to Amy. She screamed so loud that half of the school could hear it. If you were close enough to the hospital wing, it was crippling enough to make you faint. Amy's voice was more piercing than usual, so it was tough to tell it was the hedgehog girl.

Sonic shrugged his shoulders with a no head nod.

"Get along to class, you two," Herriman said, hopping all the way through the hallways, scouting for troublemakers.

Deathley's second potions class was just as exciting as the first one the previous day. She was much more careful with the ingredients, as she wasn't sure about magic's end result on unborn babies and their mother. This time around, the class was now learning a fire potion. As soon as every student's supplies were out onto their tables, Deathley began the second lesson of the year.

"Erm, yes…to commence a fire potion, get four Dried-Up Lava Stones and put them in your cauldron-ow, stomach-and, like, put in the same amount of warm water as with the ice water from yesterday's lesson. Add the whole bottle of Sunshine Sparks and two bottles of Smoking Steam and five Blazing Bush Clippings to the-OW- potion. Stir it for about two minutes and presto, your fire potion."

Students began to make their potions in their cauldrons with ease. Some of them had to ask questions to other people in whispers, but the Toonslayer didn't mind one bit. She walked around the room when she saw Ed the Hufflepuff having trouble with creating his potions. Again.

"Ed? Are you having trouble making the fire potion?" Deathley asked nicely taking a seat on the left near Ed.

The adolescent boy, however, couldn't hear since he stuck the wooden spoon into his ears and using it as a Q-Tip. "The what now?"

"I said-" Deathley began, but was cut off as she saw Ed pulling the wooden spoon out of his ear, with a pile of earwax on the spoon. "HOLYCRAPDON'TDOTHAT!" the bat girl blurted out, which in turn caused the class to look at Ed and Deathley. A few "ew" and "yuck" mumbles were heard. Ed stirred his potion, after seeing many people do so. He then slurped the potion with the spoon (the earwax fell into the potion while he stirred it) as if he was eating soup.

"No-" Deathley said once again, but was cut off as Ed's head caught fire, but it went out quickly, and many people could see his sooty face. His comment? "Tastes like chili."

Deathley stared, but then walked off mumbling, "Hopeless."

Speaking of Deathley, her personality has changed quite a bit since the pregnancy was announced. She's a little more motherly and timid than rebellious and eager as she once was; she's been a bit jittery, to be honest. (One moment the next day, she said "Hello" to Cream and Cheese, her pet chao. When Cheese accidentally knocked into Deathley she yelled out, "OHMYGODWHATWASTHAT?")

Deathley sat outside on a bench on the broomstick flying field, drinking some green tea. It was now a Thursday evening, and she'd been eager to get outside for some fresh air. She didn't stare directly into the Sun, as she could go blind doing so. The sky was a mix of vibrant purples, oranges and yellows. (It was all reflected in her ocean blue eyes.)

Mr. Blik had gone out to look for her, to break some bad news: he was breaking up with her. It seems that he thinks he'd be a terrible father to the baby, that and he still had feelings for Katilda, a cat from his neighborhood. He'd got a small bouquet of roses for our Toonslayer, just to make her feel better. Blik decided to take it easy on her however. Being an assassin with a temper, Deathley can snap on him like a twig. (Admittedly their relationship was more of a one-night stand, since in the end the two would probably break up anyway. The kid was the end result.)

"Hey, uh-" Blik began, but was cut off quickly.

"Let me guess," Deathley said quickly with no emotion in her voice whatsoever, "you're gonna break up with me since you'd be a crap dad and you still like that Katilda girl. But you still like me as a friend. And you have a bouquet of roses. M'right?"

"…Right," the cat said, clearly confused, handing the bat the bouquet, which she took happily, setting her cup of tea down. "How'd you know that, Death?"

"Being a celebrity and having famous friends that went thought similar events like right now gave me a faint idea of a warning signal," Deathley said, sipping more tea coolly.

"Ah," Blik said sadly, taking a glance at her hair. It glimmered like a gold bar found in the early morning. Blik reached out and stroked it softly for a minute or so. Deathley reached up and slowly took Blik's paw/hand off her head.

"Yeah, don't do that," Deathley said again, getting off the bench and leaving towards Hogwarts. Blik stared on. The bat girl couldn't help but feel guilty as she walked on. She had let him get her pregnant, and the next day they broke up because, in the end, Blik would probably dump her for Katilda or another girl.

It was now the second week of February in Hogwarts, nearing Valentine's Day. During the period of time I didn't mention, students and staff went along with their everyday lives with not much notable for me to report. (Well, there as that one time Ed turned himself into buttered toast and tried to eat himself, but I'm sure you don't want to hear about that.) In November, two cat/bear/rabbit hybrid children from Marzipan City, Chowder Daal and Panini Endive, had transferred to Hogwarts to take a break from cooking and learn some magic (seeing as their hometown itself is quite magical). Chowder had gotten sorted into Gryffindor, much to everyone's surprise – he seemed like a Hufflepuff – and Panini had gotten into Ravenclaw, where she fit in quite well.

Of course, seeing as Ravenclaw if the main focus of our story, they were in the lead for the House Cup with Gryffindor in second, Hufflepuff in third and Slytherin in fourth. (Slytherin's bozo students couldn't keep their big mouths shut, costing them a lot. At least according to a Gryffindor girl named Lilo Pelekai and her "dog" Stitch.)

Panini's transfer to Ravenclaw was a god-send. She joined the H.C.G. and cleaned frequently, and once unintentionally but amazingly got rid of pests, too. Why do I bring that up? Well, it's time for a FLASHBACK!

"OK, group," a male raccoon said to his friends Verne the Turtle, Stella the Skunk and Hammy the Squirrel, behind a small Hogwarts hedge, where they were hidden. "We're gonna bust in that school and steal their mother lode of junk food! Soda, candy…and Spuddies!" Determination showed in his sky blue eyes. His fur was all mixes of brown, gray and black. He was short. This was RJ the Raccoon.

"You like your Spuddies, don'tcha, RJ?" Stella asked with an amused smirk showing her charcoal black face, her green eyes lighting up.

"Why yes, yes I do," RJ said with the same smirk.

"Ohohohoh!" Hammy said over and over, raising his small brown-fur covered arm in the air again and again. His green eyes were showing attentiveness.

"Yes…Hammy." RJ said pointing to Hammy's raised arm, as if Hammy were a student and RJ was the teacher.

"Did you find a pink girl bunny for our group?" Hammy asked, peering above the small hedge, seeing Panini's silhouette in the distance, but barely. Verne, Stella and RJ took no notice of the approaching Panini. RJ was no doubt confused.

"Did we, Verne?" RJ asked the turtle.

"Did we what, RJ?" Verne asked back, acting witty, a smirk on his green scaly face. His brown eyes made him seem more intelligent.

RJ rolled his eyes in his head. "Hire a…pink rabbit girl?"

Verne quickly ducked into his shell, pulling out a small notepad that is used for teaching young children how to write. He flipped through pages casually. "Nope," Verne said, putting the notepad away. RJ looked at Hammy with a raised eyebrow, as did Verne. "Why'd you bring up pink rabbit girls?"

Before a response from Hammy could be said, Stella yelled out "DUCK!"

Panini had arrived with a weed hacker! Her shadow cast over the four small animals.

"Not another weed hacker!!" Hammy yelled, running away at high speed in the woods, with the three others following soon after.

However, it turns out Panini wasn't chasing the Hedgies away. She didn't even know that they were behind the hedge. She just hacking weeds!

Panini's arrival in Ravenclaw stirred up some crushes. Tails can't help but at least smile and blush lightly when Panini was in the room! He loved her food, personality and looks. He was head over heels with her. She was oblivious to it, sicne she was into Chowder, but she seemed less interested in him now. (Panini sort of got Chowder's hint…after the fifth "I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND!")

And with the Valentine's Day Dance coming up, he was planning to give her an invitation to the dance. He wanted Panini to feel special on that day, since Chowder always ignores her.

I swear this chapter is as random as a Family Guy episode.

Will Tails succeed? Find out soon on the next chapter of IMLT!
