Chapter 12- Potters, Malfoys, and Weasleys p
Alec spent the next week in the hospital wing. Bailee visited him everyday after classes. The school year was winding down and Alec had to take his N.E.W.T.s in the hospital. p
"I can't believe its almost over." Bailee stated on a Friday afternoon. p
"What's almost over?" Alec inquired sitting up. He unwrapped a bar of chocolate and broke of a piece for his girlfriend. p
"Our final year…soon we'll graduate and then what?" Bailee inquired. p
Alec smiled, "and then we'll be together forever."
Slowly he stood up and opened the drawer to his nightstand that was beside his bed. Bailee was sitting on his bed and watched him curiously. Seconds later he produced a black velvet box. He knelt down in front of her and grabbed her hand. Bailee nearly choked on her piece of chocolate. p
"Bailee Potter…I know that we are just seventeen but I have never been so sure of anything before in my life. Will you please do me the honour of being my wife?" p
"Yes! Yes Alec, I will be your wife!" p
Alec leapt up and flung his arms around Bailee's neck. He kissed her franticly and then pulled back. He placed the ring on her finger and grinned so broadly his jaw hurt. "I love you." p
"I love you." Bailee smiled her heart fluttering. p
News of Alec and Bailee's engagement spread through the school like wildfire. p
"Can I come to your wedding?" Michelle inquired the next day as she and Bailee left their History of Magick class. p
"Of course!" Bailee replied walking with her friend to the hospital wing. p
"Hey, isn't that your dad?" Michelle questioned when they rounded the corner. p
Bailee stopped in her tracks and noticed Harry talking to Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore inside the Transfiguration classroom. Bailee walked to the doorway, "Dad?" p
The three adults turned and stared at Bailee. Harry was wearing his muggle business suit and motioned for Bailee to enter the room. p
"Dad what are you doing here?" Bailee wanted to know. p
"The ministry sent your mother to investigate Mr. Chang and they asked me to help." Harry explained as Bailee sat down. p
"Mum's here?"p
"She is talking to Rooney's parents as we speak." Prof. McGonagall piped up. p
"Let's go to the hospital wing now. I trust the Malfoys should be there by now." Dumbledore spoke up. p
"Dad what's going to happen?" Bailee inquired as they left the classroom. p
Harry ran a hand though his sleek black hair and stared at his daughter. A couple of third year Hufflepuffs ran up to him and asked for autographs. p
"Mr. Potter is not to be bothered!" Professor McGonagall told them shooing them away. p
Harry put his hand on Bailee's shoulder, "well he will most likely be expelled." p
They approached the hospital wing moments later. Draco Malfoy and his wife Pansy were waiting with Professor Snape. p
Bailee noticed how much Alec resembled his father and was nothing like his mother. p
"If you are ready we can go into my office." Dumbledore announced. p
"They choose you to investigate this Potter?" Draco sneered crossing his arms. p
Harry glanced at him and it was clear that they were still rivals after twenty seven years. p
"My wife and I, yes." Harry responded. p
Bailee and Alec slowly followed behind the adults. He held her back until the last adult passed them. He didn't want Bailee to hear Draco insult Ginny. p
Alec grabbed her hand as they entered Dumbledore's office. He sat down and stared heavenward while the others stared at Harry. p
"We're here!" Ginny announced entering the office with the Changs. p
Draco looked like he was ready to "avada kedavra" Mr. Chang and his son. Rooney swallowed nervously. p
"Now since school is almost over, there is no reason to expel Rooney. He can just stay back a year." Ginny suggest calmly. P
"What!" Draco roared, "of course there is every reason to expel him! He nearly killed my son!" p
"Now Mr. Malfoy-" p
"Ginny, dear, I would never think this to be possible, but I agree with Draco. Rooney shouldn't be allowed to graduate." Harry stated, interrupting his wife. p
"Now Harry, are you really willing to ruin this boy's life over a little game of Quidditch?" p
"A little game of Quidditch?" Draco barked banging his fist on Dumbledore's desk. p
"Did you think that it was a little game of Quidditch when he broke our daughter's arm?" Harry inquired quietly. p
"No, but you did." Ginny sighed. p
She glanced at a furious Draco and then at her husband. She brushed back a loose strand of red hair, which had fallen out of her bun. Then she turned to Rooney's parents who looked petrified, like Draco was going to hex them at any second. p
"Your son should be…expelled from Hogwarts." Ginny declared, as if the words caused her a great deal of pain. p
Mrs. Chang began to weep loudly, which gave Draco immense joy. Justice had been served.p
"Well, that settles it." Professor McGonagall announced. p
"He should spend a year in Azkaban as well. Those dementors (he glared at Harry) will set him straight." Draco added. p
"That's taking it too far…." Harry growled. p
Bailee placed her hand on Alec's shoulder. They both winced as their dads duked it out. p
Pansy Malfoy glanced down and noticed the gold ring on Bailee's finger. She gasped loudly placing her hand over her heart. p
"Alec?" p
"Yes Mother?" p
Pansy leaned forward and grabbed Bailee's hand. She turned the ring so the diamond was facing her. p
"Oww…" Bailee cried. p
"What is this?! You're engaged to…her?" p
Pansy dropped Bailee's hand and fainted, falling back on the ground. Alec and Bailee looked down at her in shock. p
"Pansy!" Draco exclaimed rushing over to his wife. p
Bailee's grip on Alec's shoulder tightened as they watched his parents. Pansy sat up suddenly and grabbed Draco's collar. p
"Our son proposed to her!" She shrieked pointing at Bailee. p
Draco turned and glared at his son. His cold gray eyes flashed with anger, "Alec…" p
Ginny noticed what was going on and gasped loudly. Alec and Bailee sat nervously in the corner of the office. Alec grabbed Bailee's hand and stared at the floor. p
"Explain yourselves!" Ginny exclaimed marching over to the young couple. p
"I…did propose to her…we are in love." Alec stated quietly. He was staring contently at the floor while Bailee bit her lower lip nervously. p
"Bailee is this true?" Ginny wanted to know. p
Bailee nodded her head slowly she turned and looked at her extremely upset mother. p
"No way…" Rooney muttered in shock. p
There was a strange silence that filled the room. The Changs excused themselves so Rooney could pack his belongings. Then Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape left the room. p
"Alec I forbid you from marrying this girl." Draco stated breaking the silence. p
"I'm afraid you can't do that Father." Alec replied standing up. He was still holding on to Bailee's hand firmly. p
"Aren't you forgetting something my dead boy? Other than the fact that you proposed to the daughter of a Weasley, you can't marry this girl because of…" p
"Raven Warner." Alec mumbled sadly. p
"That's correct, now your mother and I are going into London. We will see you at graduation." Draco replied and helped his wife up with that they disapparated out of the room. p
"Well Ginny, we should be off as well." Spoke Harry who had kept silent. p
"Ay and you two should return to your dorm. We have a lot to do before graduation tomorrow." Dumbledore told Alec and Bailee. p
Bailee felt terribly confused as she ran out of the room. It was like being slapped across the face in a way. Alec hung his head miserably and slowly followed her. p
*A/N* I hope this chapter wasn't too short. I was struggling with this chapter…lol. Sorry if there is character confusion! Draco and Pansy and Alec's mother and father while Harry and Ginny are Bailee's parents. On to the next chapter!* *glamrockstar*
