Harry Potter: College Years

Chapter 10: A White Christmas

On the morning of December 25, Padma Patil woke up with enormous stomach pains. She looked over at Terry, who was still sleeping peacefully. She then remembered the night before.

"Oh God. Mum will kill me," she muttered.

"Who will kill you honey?" a sleepy male voice asked. Terry had opened his eyes and was sitting up.

"If what Lil and Cho said was true. I'm going to find out." Padma said and marched into the bathroom. She came out with a pale face.

"It.was.positive." she said, then sat down next to him. Terry put his arms around her.

"Don't worry love. I'll take full responsibility of being the father of this child," he said soothingly. Padma looked up at him and smiled through her tears.

"I knew I could trust you!" she said, then threw her arms around him.

Let's leave them alone and go to Harry and everyone else for the while

Meanwhile.

"Wake up Harry!" three cheerful voices rang out. Harry opened his eyes to see Hermione, Lily and Lavender standing around the bed. He sat up and saw Ron and Draco standing away from their girlfriends.

"Their idea not ours" they said at the same time. Harry rolled his eyes and got out of bed.

"Merry Christmas!" he shouted and hugged Lily and Lavender and kissed Hermione.

"Present time!" Lily giggled. They went into the room that Harry and Lily had magically transformed the day before and sat before the large Christmas tree.

"Merry Christmas!" A red haired girl bounded in with a blonde boy following her.

"You too Gin, Seamus," Hermione said.

"What about us?" Parvati said as she, Dean, Padma, Terry, Cho, and Roger came in. Padma smiled at Terry then said.

"What Lily and Cho said last night was correct. I am pregnant," Padma announced. A loud cheer rose up from the group.

"Congratulations sis!" Parvati squealed and hugged her sister lightly. Cho came up to them.

"Now we'll have huge stomachs while these people over here stay all thin!" she said laughing. Padma laughed along with her.

"Ok, enough giggles. Present time!" Lily announced. She and Hermione handed out presents to everyone. (A/n: I'm only doing what the pairs gave each other ok?)

Harry gave Hermione a charm bracelet with two H's connected by a heart. Hermione gave him a $200 certificate to any store in Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade.

Lily gave Draco a new broomstick called the Silverbolt2001 along with a Broomstick Finishing kit. Draco gave her a diamond necklace that went perfectly with her diamond bracelet he had given her for her 18th birthday last March.

Ron gave Lavender a $200 certificate to the Valley Mall in LA. Lavender gave him ten front row tickets to see the Weird Sisters in concert in LA in January.

Parvati gave Dean season tickets to see his favorite football team in England. He gave her a bouquet of yellow, pink, white and red roses that were charmed to last for two years along with a yellow diamond bracelet.

Cho was given a basket full of baby things by Roger while she gave him a new Rolex watch.

Terry was looking at Padma, then without any warning took her hand.

"Padma I can't think of not living with you for the rest of my life. Not because of the baby, but because you make me a better human," He took out a box. "Padma Patil, will you do me the honor of being my wife?" Padma screamed and threw her arms around him. A small but sure

"YES!" was heard from her. Everyone applauded and cheered.

"Wait more good news!" Lily said.

"You're not pregnant are you?" Cho asked.

"No I drank my champagne last night, no offence Padma" Lily said quickly. When Padma smiled she continued.

"Accio Breakfast!" she said. A magical blue dust swirled around the middle of the room and then when it cleared there was a huge buffet with elegant chairs lining it. A chorus of 'wicked' was spread around the group as they sat around the table.

After a long breakfast they all got dressed and met in the lobby of their dorms.

"Hey it's snowing!" Hermione said, pointing.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Get your coats and meet me out there in five minutes!" Lily ordered and ran off to the room she and Draco shared. Daria Evensong came out from behind her desk and greeted them.

"Hello you guys. How are you settling in UCLA?" she asked. "Fine Ms. Evensong. But we leave in May to go back to England." Hermione explained. Ms. Evensong nodded.

"Well I hope you enjoy the rest of your time here" she said and went back to work.

Harry returned to his room and found Hedwig there. He untied the letter and read:

Dear Harry,

I am writing to ask for your help. Do you remember the lion pendant I gave you and the phoenix pendant I gave Lily before you left? You may not know this but Harry Davis and James Potter were cousins and great friends at Hogwarts. They are both the heirs of Godric Gryffindor. What I'm telling you two is that you are the heirs of Gryffindor. Cho Chang of Ravenclaw is Rowena Ravenclaw's heir while Ernie McMillican is the heir of Helga Hufflepuff. The help of your pendants are what we need to destroy Voldemort. We all are counting on you.

Albus Dumbledore

Harry ran to Lily's room where she was putting on her coat.

"Lil, where is the phoenix pendant Dumbledore gave you before we left Hogwarts?" he asked breathlessly.

"Right here" she said taking it off and started to hand it over to Harry.

"Wait" she said and stared as the pendant glowed red. Harry took off his lion pendant and it glowed gold.

"We're the Gryffindor heirs" he whispered. Lily's eyes were wide.

"Listen, get Cho and Ernie now!" he said. She ran out and came back a few minutes later with them. Cho had an eagle pendant that began to glow blue when she stood next to them and Ernie's badger pendant glowed yellow.

"We need to send these to Dumbledore now!" he said. They all handed the pendants over to Harry and he sealed them in an envelope. Then he tapped his wand to make the envelope invincible and sent Hedwig back to England.

"All we can do is wait," Lily said.
