(A/N) Thank you so much for reviewing! They mean so much to me!

Anyway to clear up a few things- Draco said that he wouldn't be able to get Simone and Arissa out of trouble next time. He didn't mean that he would be away; he only meant that he wanted his girls to make the right decisions. Oh, and ignore the girls when they say that Draco and Hermione have been out of Hogwarts for 20 years. They were married at 19 and had the girls when they were 20. As for Lucius, he'll come up later. Muahahahahahahaha!

Chapter Twenty: Another Surprise

Arissa

I'm not sure what my face looked like after I saw my parents' faces in the Hospital Wing, but I guess it was shock. Simone looked the same way.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, rubbing the sore spot on my lower back.

"We wanted to see you two play in your first game," Mum said, as Simone made room for her to sit on my bed.

"And a great game it was too!" Dad added, hugging Simone. "Nice shot at that Slytherin Beater, I might add. Nice way to stand up for your sister."

She beamed as he looked towards me. "And you! Scoring the first goal of the game! I'm so proud of you."

It was my turn to beam as he gently hugged me.

"Are you in much pain, Arissa?" Mum asked.

"I'm just bruised. Madam Pomfrey is going to give me a potion. Then I can go back to my dormitory."

"Let me see your bruise!" Simone exclaimed, making our parents' eyes open wide.

"Simone!" Mum gasped.

"It's alright, Mum. She came in here not too long before you," I said, lifting my shirt a little to reveal the bruise.

"Man, that had to hurt!" she said.

"I don't remember much. Only you screaming 'Watch out!'"

She giggled, but then she gave me a look. She was asking if we should mention Christina's dream to them. I shook my head. Simone chose to ignore the dream, but truth was, I've been talking about it with Christina. She was right; Narcissa was killed.

"Anyway, that's not the only thing we came here for," Mum said, breaking our brainwave.

"What is it?" we asked in unison.

She smiled while Dad put his arms around Mum's neck. "We have something to tell you that couldn't wait until Christmas," Dad said.

We exchanged glances. "What is it?" I asked.

They smiled again. "What's so big that you two couldn't wait until Christmas?" Simone asked.

"You two are going to be big sisters," Mum said softly.

These were words I've been dying to hear for about eight years. We were going to have another brother or sister!

"Oh my God!" Simone shrieked. "You're going to have a baby?"

They nodded. "How long?" I asked.

"The baby isn't due until June," Mum said.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww," we groaned. I don't know why we did it, but it would've been cool to have another sibling share out birthday, which is May 16th.

Mum just smiled. "Any guesses?" she asked.

"Boy!" we exclaimed.

They laughed. "What?" I asked.

"We've always wanted a little brother," Simone said. "Now we can boss him around."

More rounds of laughter were heard. Madam Pomfrey came and brought me a small slab of chocolate and a potion. She stayed until I finished it, made sure my bruise was gone, and discharged me.

"We also have some bad news," Dad said.

"We know. Narcissa is dead," Simone said.

"How do you know?" he asked.

"Our friend had a dream about her dying," I said.

"Really?" he asked, amused.

I nodded, leaving out the part about us being next.

Mum gave us a strange look. "Anything else you want to tell us?"

"No," we said. Her look still remained.

Simone broke down. "She also dreamed that Lucius was going to kill us."

Mum gasped. Dad's expression was blank. "Are you sure?"

"That's what she said, but I don't believe it," she said, crossing her arms. "We're going to live, Daddy. We're not going down."

He looked relieved, but there was something else in his eyes that I couldn't place.

He snapped out of it quickly. "We'd better be going, Mione," he said. "Great game. We're proud of you." He hugged us again.

"You'll keep us updated?" Mum asked as she hugged us. We nodded. She smiled. "My little girls all grown up," she sniffled.

We watched in silence as they walked away from us.

(A/N) All righty then! A strange chapter, no? Maybe it will answer some questions from the last chapter. Review!!
