1 A/N Thanks again to all of the great reviewers out there. I'm still on
Hermione's viewpoint.
We have been here for a week now. All of the windows have been enchanted black and the room is soundproof. We can't hear or see anything. And begin stuck in the same room with the same people is starting to get a little boring.
Although I've made friends with quite a few of the girls up here during the past week. Plus I've found out some interesting things about some of the girls. Hannah Abbot started dating Terry the summer before last. They really weren't sure if their relationship would work, but it has. Blaise and Christopher are practically made for each other. They both love Quidditch. Although Blaise jokes that her kid will probably detest the sport. Lavender told me that after Ginny dumped Harry and transferred to Durmstrang Harry was heartbroken. I didn't have the heart to tell her what almost went on between Harry and myself. Natalie McDonald actually grew up across the street from Seamus. They hated each other until she joined the Gryffendor Quidditch team as a chaser. Then they started to talk and hang out a bit. Eloise Midgen looks millions of times better than she did in our fourth year, but with everyone picking on her she has become horrifically shy. I felt bad since I remembered teasing Ron and Harry about having to take her to the Yule Ball during our fourth year. Susan hasn't seen Ron since he went to Azkaban and he doesn't even know that he has a daughter. Alissa is a little sweetheart. Laura and I joke about the Slytherin guys all the time. She has a great sense of humor. I think that we could probably stay friend for a while. Malcolm is one of the few Slytherin guys that actually still talk to Draco. They are both pretty good friends as well. Blaise said she was glad that Draco was voted Quidditch captain since she quit. Lisa is also really funny. But today we are all getting really bored. We have mostly finished our work that the professors gave us. We need something else to do. I am poking around the wing when I find this huge closet. It is filled with name you baby books.
"Bingo." I say as I grab a stack.
"Hey everyone. Listen up. Grab a book. Pick out three girls' names and three boys' names for your baby. Complete with middle name. Then write them on a sheet of paper. We will then trade and rate each others' names." Everyone grabs a book.
Lisa says, "Great idea Mione." We all sit down with our books.
I start paging through. Soon I am finished.
Caitlyn Nicole
Elizabeth Marie
Gabrielle Ann
Kyle William
2 Alexander Thomas
Draco Xavior Jr.
We all finish and draw one out of a basket. I drew out Blaise's list.
3 Maria Claire
Odessa Lynn
Katherine Sue
William Patrick
Marcus Anthony
Ryan Christopher
She has some pretty cute names. I like Katherine Sue and William Patrick the best. She has good taste though. I circle those two and hand the list back.
"I like these two the best." I tell her.
"So do I" She confessed. "And my grandmother's name was Katherine."
I go back and sit down. Lisa comes over with my list.
"These are all cute Mione. But I like Caitlyn Nicole the best. And she can always be nicknamed Cait. But I like Alexander Thomas the best for a boy." I look up at her.
"I really like Caitlyn Nicole the best too. And I like Alexander Thomas the best. We all take a look at the rest of the lists. Lavender picked Andrew James for a boy and Alexis Marie for a girl. There are some creative names and some that are just plain strange. Eloise has a Mariah Elise as her favorite name. I think it's very pretty. I look at a few of the other lists. There are some creative ones, but I still like Caitlyn the best. None of us are that uncomfortable around each other anymore. We have even forged a few friendships out of this predicament. But we are all still worried about what is going on in Hogwarts right now. We are hoping that no one was hurt. We must be winning though, because we haven't been portkeyed anywhere yet. Blaise seems to be the most worried out of all of us. Then again she also seems to be the most relaxed. Poor Susan has to deal with already being a single mom. She and Mrs. Weasley do get together and chat for a while. She said that Molly was distraught when Ginny transferred to Durmstang. She said that Molly blames Ron for the transfer. She hopes that someone will be able to figure out what happened to him. Last night I had a dream about what had happened last Halloween night. Except I heard something else. It was a voice that was saying,
"Take her. Take her for all she has done to you. She deserves it. She needs to hurt. She must pay." It wasn't Ron's voice. It was as if I could hear someone telling him to do that to me. It was awful. But it only heightens my suspicions about whether or not it was Ron who attacked me. It was as if he was being controlled by the Imperious curse. I pull out a Muggle Book, The Princess Diaries and go sit in a far window seat. I've head that reading out loud helps to raise a baby's intelligence, and as far as I am concerned I should get a head start on reading. Plus I am really hoping that I have a girl. I swear if I would have to put up with two boys that always talk Quidditch I will go insane.
