I am sorry that this story hasn't been updated in a while and I know that I should be killed and stuff so you can. But this is just a baby chapter that will hopefully tide you over until Chapter 38.

I saw the others start to run towards us. I sent a shield towards them but Fred knew me too well and quickly blocked it. Damn! I thought to myself before going towards Lucius.

"You take care of them, kay?" I told Molly and Arthur. They nodded in agreement. I walked towards the two Malfoys.

"Your trespassing on this property!" I called to them when I was a few metres away from them. Draco started laughing and pointed his wand at his father and with a swish of it Crabbe erupted.

"What!" I shrieked.

"Thought that it might give you a bit of a laugh!" Crabbe guffawed. I looked at Draco and it wasn't until then that I realised that his laugh before had been a little bit forced.

"Are we going to be invited inside?" Draco asked dryly.

"Only if you can be trusted." Arthur interrupted. The others looked at Arthur hopefully, hoping that he would send them away.

"They can." I heard myself say. Draco let out a sigh of relief.

"You can't be serious!" Ginny cried out in dismay. "I won't let them inside my parents house!"

"Yes I am. But they won't be going inside. They're going to tell me why they're here right now." I said coolly, not even bothering to look at Ginny.

"Katie." Draco whispered so that no one else could hear.

"Yeah." I whispered back.

"It's done."

"Good." I said with a curt nod, tears forming in my eyes, I knew that this would mean the end of my hero. The end of an era. The Dumbledorian era.

"That's not all." Draco interrupted my thoughts with more whispers.

"WE CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING!" Ron bellowed.

"Just trust her, alright?" I heard Hermione say. Interesting, I had always thought that she had hated me.

"What is it?" I asked Draco, who was eyeing Hermione suspiciously.

"I think that Sally should be put under protection." He said quickly.

"What!" I shrieked.

"Why?" Yelo asked.

"Because I think that my mother might know." He told us.

"Katie, who the hell is Sally?" Ginny fumed. I ignored her. This was serious. Sally Freeman was a muggle girl who had met Draco over the summer. She knew about wizarding and had no issue with it. Draco had fallen head over heels for the beautiful blonde and Sally, for some unknown reason felt the same. I didn't understand it but apparently Draco still had his soft side. I had only witnessed it twice for myself and it was debatable in my head as to whether or not it was a permanent fixture.

"OK, I'll get Flitwick to perform the Fidelius charm and I'll be her secret keeper, OK?"

"OK." He nodded as he gradually regained his normal composure. Until then I had had no idea that the others had been calling out my name, even a few adults.

"Katie Jane!" Arthur yelled. I froze. Damn. They didn't know. Only Snape did.

"Yes." I squeaked.

"Who is Sally?" he asked sternly.

"Uh.... ummm..... Yelo?" I passed on.

"Thanks." She hissed before turning to the now furious adults. "Sally, is a girl of our age." Yelo said properly.

"And?" Molly questioned.

"What else do you want us to tell you?" Yelo asked defiantly. I swear Molly's eyes just turned red with anger. Draco backed up.

"I think that I'll be going then."

"Coward." I told him.

"Trust me, she looks like she could give the Dark Lord a run for his money." He said with a small flash of a grin and then he ran with Crabbe wobbling after him. When I turned around I knew that I had a lot of explaining to do.

10 minutes later...

"Katie? Who is Sally?"

"Why are you so familiar with Draco?"

"What's the deal?"

"Draco? Katie, how could you?"

They all stopped when Fred actually talked to me.

"Katie, what is going on with you and Draco?" His tone was like a slap in the face. Hang on, he thought I was...??? Oh god, that is disgusting!

"Merlin's beard Fred! You actually think that I would... you know with .... Malfoy? If you actually think that then you are off your rocker." Before Fred to continue Ginny cut in.

"You cow! I knew it! I knew that this would happen. I've warned Fred for years about you. That you were hiding something —" Molly walked in and with one look from her Ginny was silenced.

"Ginerva, come to the kitchen. I think that you may have said quite enough." She said promptly before leaving with a very narky looking Ginny in tow. Fred took his opportunity.

"I don't know what to think." Scratch that earlier comment, this was worth two slaps. It made me angry.

"Oh for God's sake Fred!" I cried. "Stop being such a drama king! Draco was here because Sally Freeman is a muggle girl that Draco has fallen for. He came to me for help because he was scared that Voldemort was going to find out and kill her. Draco is a friend and nothing more. He is also under so much pressure from his parents that he is starting to crack in the inside. That is why he came today even thought I asked him not to. That is how Draco and I are connected. And for the record Fred, right now, it's me that can't stand to look at you." It was with that sentence that I knew that I would have to wait a while before telling Fred about the baby. And with that thought that blew me to bits inside I walked outside, quickly, so that nobody could see my tears.

HePOV

I could not believe myself. I was feeling sorry for Katie.

Katie, the girl who Ginny and I had talked about up until the early hours of the morning.

Katie, the girl who I was so jealous of because she was so much smarter than me.

Katie, the girl, who was now a woman, who showed bucket loads of courage so when I was around her I felt like I only possessed a teaspoon of it.

Katie, the girl who had powers that were out of this world and of whose I could never match.

Katie, the girl who had seen so much more than I probably ever would.

Katie, the girl who I hated with a deep and fiery passion.

So if I hated her so much, why was I preparing myself to quiet down the uproar of displeasure amongst our cohort?

"BE QUIET!" The Weasley boys jumped in fear that it was their mother. I smirked a little, she did always have a sense of control over her sons.

"How dare you Fred? Thinking that you can talk to Katie like that? Well, let me prove you wrong. You to have had your arguments and quarrels before and trust me we've all been present for several hundred of them but let me tell you something very important and this is a something which you have probably forgotten in you pea of a brain. YOU ALWAYS MAKE UP. YOU ALWAYS MAKE YOUR WAY THROUGH IT. But sooner or later Katie is not going to forgive you and she is going to move on from you. However, you can stop this by going to her and making up right this very instant." There, much better.

"Uh, Hermione?" I heard Ron question.

"Yes." I replied pleasantly.

"Since when did you stick up for Katie?" he asked, dumbfounded.

"Since I figured out that she is nice and since I accepted that if Dumbledore trusts her then we would be wise to do the same." I said testily. Why did boys have to question everything that I had to say?

"But it makes no sense!" Ginny stormed entering the room again.

"Why doesn't it?" Harry asked.

"That's it!" Fred said, getting up abruptly before I had a chance to put Ginny in her right place.

"Oh for God's sake what now?" Yelo asked impatiently, finally piping up.

"I'm going to see Katie." He said before walking out of the room.

Ginny groaned in frustration.

"Why? Why does she get everything? It's not fair."

"She hasn't got everything you dim-witted child!" Yelo said vehemently.

"Yes she does." Ginny said pertinently. "She has a boyfriend, a best friend and secrets."

"Secrets aren't all they're cracked up to be. Don't you see how they are destroying her relationship with Fred? Don't you see how if Voldemort,"- almost everyone here flinched at the name- "gets any stronger she'll die? Don't you see that she has seen people die and that she is going to lose her last bits of salvation." Yelo said, her eyes getting glassy.

"I understand." I said perfectly clear.

"You know as well? I thought we were friends!" Ginny cried out.

"I don't know the 'Big Secret' but I think I know what's upsetting Katie right now and you are not helping her, your brother or me by acting out the way you are now." I replied scathingly.

At that Neville and Luna burst through the door.

"Neville? Luna? What are you two doing here?" George asked.

"We just heard from Dumbledore. Jesus Christ Yelo? What is she going to do?" Neville asked.

Ron stood up and much to my surprise he said.

"Hang on, we are all meant to be a team here. If Neville and Luna know what the hell this is about then I want to know what this is about."

"You're all a TEAM!" Ginny fumes as Ron goes follows Neville and Luna to find out what I think I already know.

Katie is pregnant.

"She's what!" I scream before Luna and Neville cover my mouth.

"Yeah, we know. It's a shock but we've got to be there for Katie right now." Neville says

"Is it....." I can't even finish the question.

"It's not." Luna says serenely. I let out a breath that I didn't even know I'd been holding in.

"Good."

Then it hit me.

Katie was carrying my niece or nephew.

I was going to be an uncle.

Then I passed out.

FPOV

"Merlin's Beard Katie! Just tell me what is going on. Please." Fred had been begging me now for hours on end.

"Fred, I can't. I just can't." Fred had a whole life ahead of him. I could not tell him to try and understand but I had to. If that made any sense at all. Fred got angry at my last answer.

"You know, I have put up with so much shit from you over the years and I have never complained. Not once." I went red and I could feel my heartbeat rising to an unhealthy level.

"Never once complained? Oh really Fred you expect me to listen to this tripe? You complain whether it be to me or to someone else?" I retorted.

"Only because I care and I love you!"

I melted and I kissed him.

And I felt the baby move inside of me.

Everything would be OK.

Reviews make me happy.
