Chapter 14
Harry's Heart Breaking Dilemma
When Harry got to bed, he couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned, all he could think of was the threatening letter Zack sent him. He knew Emily would never go back with him… or would she? Now he was totally lost in his thoughts, he couldn't come to a decision and he couldn't sleep. He was facing a horrible dilemma, to follow his heart or save his own life. He kept thinking, 'I survived the Avada Kedavra curse, but could I survive mortal weapons. And training from Emily, she knows so much about fighting. I don't think I could withstand that.' This is what he thought about all night. He finally came to a decision, and would have to tell Emily in the morning.
It was the 1st of November and a beautiful morning. 'Why does it have to be such a beautiful day?' Harry thought to himself, he was getting dressed and read for breakfast. He went downstairs to catch up with Ron. He had so many thoughts running through his head. 'No, this is the right thing to do,' he told himself over and over. He got down to the common room and he saw Emily, she was looking more beautiful than ever. Harry took a deep breath and walked over to her side. He got to her and took her hand, "Emily, can I talk to you? Alone, maybe walking to the Great Hall," she nodded and he took her away.
"What's up Harry, you look worried about something," Emily said in a concerned tone.
Harry looked deep into her sparkling sapphire eyes and said, "Emily, I think we should break up."
There was pain showing in her eyes, like she had been stabbed in the heart. "Why? Did I do something wrong?" she said trying to fight back her tears.
Harry could feel his heart breaking. "No, I just don't think it's going to work out," when he finished a silent tear ran down Emily's cheek and she ran off.
Harry didn't run after her, he didn't want to make her anymore upset than she was already. He just stood in the hallway for a minute, while he was standing there Zack walked by. He stopped next to Harry and said, "Good choice, I wouldn't want to fight with me either."
He patted Harry on the back and laughed, he was followed by Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. Harry walked down to the Great Hall, this beautiful day, was dark and gray for Harry. Emily had run into the girls' bathroom crying uncontrollably. She didn't know why Harry broke up with her. She loved him and she thought he loved her. She felt very sick to her stomach and ran into one of the stalls. She decided not to go to breakfast she just went straight to class. Se didn't pay attention in any of her classes; all she thought about was Harry. She went to lunch and when she went to sit down next to Fi, she saw Harry. She couldn't eat so she said, "Fi I'll see you back at the common room sometime, I'm not hungry."
She got up and left the Great Hall. Harry stopped eating and just starred at his plate. Ron looked at him and said, "I'm guessing you decided to save your skin."
Harry nodded and Ron shook his head. Fi and Hermione were both lost so Fi asked, "What do you mean Ron?"
Ron explained to them how Zack sent Harry and letter saying he would kill him if he didn't break up Emily. Fi couldn't believe it, "Harry you have to report him to Dumbledore. He was told to leave Emily alone and if he tries to go back out with her she won't let him and he'll probably hurt her."
Harry was trying to stop thinking about her, he said, "He said he had weapons and training from Emily, I wouldn't stand a chance."
Harry sat in transfiguration lost in his thoughts.
"Mr. Potter, please pay attention or you won't know what is on the exam," Professor McGonagall shouted.
Harry snapped out of his trance and paid attention. After dinner everyone went to the common room.
"Emily, I'm here," Fi shouted. Emily didn't answer, so Fi went up to the girls' dorm. When she got there she found Emily sitting on her bed hugging her legs.
"There you are. Harry told me what happened," Fi said sitting next to her friend. Emily started to cry but managed to say, "I don't understand why he didn't think it would work."
Fi didn't want to have to tell her about the letter from Zack, but she did anyway.
"Em, Zack sent Harry a letter. He told him if he didn't brake up with you, he would kill him."
After hearing that Emily was now furious instead of upset.
"He did that, he wrote him a letter and said I trained him. Is he out of his blasted mind? I showed him how to punch and use a stake. What is he going to do stake, Harry?" Emily started shouting.
"Em calm down," Fi said sitting her friend on her bed.
"Fi I can't calm down, Zack just totally crossed the line." Emily still couldn't believe it, "I never thought Zack would stoop that low, what am I saying, of course he would. He tried to kill me for crying out loud."
After her little outburst she sat down and had to relax. While it was in her head Fi asked, "Hey Em, why didn't you come to breakfast this morning?"
Emily told her that after Harry had broke up with her she went into the girls' bathroom and when she had finished crying she felt very sick to her stomach. Fi's eyes widened, "Em how long has it been since the night you 'slept' with Harry?" she asked with her eyes still wide.
Emily thought for a minute and then replied, "It's been almost two weeks."
Fi stood up and grabbed Emily's hand, "We're going to a drugstore right now." "Fi it's time for bed, we can't go out," Emily said.
Fi told her that if they flew on Angel they wouldn't get caught. So they went to the window, called Angel and flew off to London.
They walked into a drugstore and Fi ran to get something. Emily waited with Angel outside and Fi came running out.
"Okay let's get back," she said hopping on Angel behind Emily.
"What did you get?" she asked and Fi said she would show her when they get back. They climbed through the window and Fi took the bag out of her pocket. She opened the bag and handed Emily a pregnancy test.
"An e.p.t test, are you crazy?" she said in shock. Fi pushed her into to bathroom and told her not to come out until she was finished. A few minutes passed and Emily came out with the test.
"Well, what does it say?" Fi said in an anxious tone. Emily looked at her and said, "It's positive."
Fi put her hand over her mouth and Emily curled up into a ball on her bed.
"I can't believe this, I just became a statistic," Emily said.
Fi told her to rest and try not to get too stressed. Emily closed her eyes and Fi tucked her in. When Emily had drifted off Fi went down to the common room. Harry and Ron were still up, "Well, Emily is sleeping but, she's not doing too well,"
Fi said and Harry sat up.
"What's wrong with her is she just really upset still?" he asked nervously.
"Well she's not so upset about the break up anymore. I just gave Emily an e.p.t test and it was positive," she told the two.
They looked at her funny and Ron asked, "What kind of test is that?" She said, "Oh sorry, it's a pregnancy test."
Harry's emerald eyes grew large and he said slowly, "Emily's…pregnant."
Fi shook her head and then said, "Harry you just broke up with the mother of your child." Harry was speechless, he didn't know what to say or do. "I can't go back out with her, Zack will kill me," he said and lay back in his seat.
Fi said, "Harry if you don't go out with her, she might kill herself."
Harry looked at Fi and said, "No she wouldn't, she'll move on and find someone else."
Fi shook her head, "Harry she's in love with you and she would rather die than not be with you."
Harry couldn't believe what he was hearing, why would Emily make such a big deal over him?
"Fi I can't do it, I know I'm the boy who lived but I don't think I could stand up against Zack," Harry said.
"Harry you have to understand something, me, Mrs. Rowland, and Jenkins are the only people Emily ever truly loved. She never loved Zack; he was just someone for her to be with. She has never been truly in love until she met you," Fi explained and Harry covered his face with his hands.
The thing was he truly loved her too. She was the only person who understood what it was like to lose their parents. Yet, he still didn't want to risk his life to be with her. He didn't say anything else and went to bed. Fi looked at Ron and said, "Well, I sure am glad I don't have a jealous boyfriend to take you away from me."
Ron smiled and they said goodnight and went their separate ways to bed.
The next morning Harry got up, got dressed and headed down to the common room. He saw Fi, Ron, Hermione, and Justin but he didn't see Emily. They smiled at him and he said, "Okay I get it, I'm a terrible, terrible person and I broke with Emily."
Then he left for the Great Hall. He was half way to the Great Hall when he saw Zack and he was talking to Emily. He walked closer to hear the conversation, he stopped and listened.
"How dare you do this to me? I love Harry and now he's afraid to be with me because he thinks you're going to kill him," he heard her say.
Then he heard Zack say, "I want you back and that was the only way. You know you love me and want to be with me."
Emily had fire in her eyes and she said, "I don't love you Zack and I will never love you. I can't trust you and besides I'm pregnant with Harry's baby. If he doesn't take me back I'll never love again."
Harry watched Emily as she told Zack off then he saw Zack look at him. He started to walk toward Harry, and Harry started to walk into the Great Hall.
"So Harry, did you tell Emily to say all that? You're just a big wuss aren't you? Let's see how tough you are, meet me in the dungeon tonight," Zack said and walked off. Harry was shocked and confused at the same time. What more could he do, he broke up with Emily but Zack still wanted to beat him up. Harry walked into the Great Hall and sat across from Emily.
"I'm sorry Emily and it looks like Zack is still going to hurt me anyway."
Emily looked at him for a minute then she said, "He's a weakling you have nothing to worry about."
Harry was confused and said, "He said he had training from you and weapons."
Emily laughed and looked straight into Harry's eyes and said, "The only thing I showed him was how to throw a punch and he couldn't use a weapon to save his life. He's just bluffing Harry and you're falling on his every word."
"So I shouldn't have anything to worry about?" Harry asked a bit confused.
Emily nodded and laughed again.
"Um, Em if you'll accept my apology I'm sorry and I would like to be your boyfriend again," Harry was really hoping she would say yes.
Emily was quite for a moment but then she said, "Harry, I would love to be your girlfriend again. Tonight Zack is going to see you but he's going to see me as well."
That night Harry and Emily walked down to the dungeon together. When they got there Zack was standing in the middle of the corridor with Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle.
"Well, it's a good thing you came with me Emily, because instead of it being one against four its two against four," Harry said with a blank stare.
Emily looked at him and said, "Harry, I'm stronger than the four of them combined. Now, will you stop worrying and just walk into the corridor."
She pushed him and he stumbled into the corridor. Zack looked at him with a cruel smile on his face.
"So you did decide to show up," Zack said but he was taken by surprise when he saw Emily come out of the shadows.
"Hello Zack, what not expecting to see me? Thought you'd scare Harry by telling him you had training from me? All I did was show you how to throw a good punch, now I could beat you right now or you could leave me and Harry alone," Emily said very angry.
Zack stared at her for a minute and said, "Fine I'll leave you alone."
He huffed and walked off to the Slytherin house. Emily smiled and took Harry's hand. They walked back up to Gryiffindor Tower laughing about how Zack reacted to her. They got inside the common room and sat by the fire.
"So, you're really pregnant. I'm going to be a father?" Harry asked.
Emily nodded and hugged Harry. She sat up and said, " I'm still shocked. I'm 16 years old and I'm going to be a mother."
She told him that she always wanted a family, but she thought that she'd be at least 20 and married. He held her close and told her that he will always be there for her. He told her that he will be the father of her baby and give her all the support she needs. She kissed him and said thank you. They got up and went their separate ways to bed. Harry got up to the boys' dorm and into his bed. He was so happy that he and Emily were back together, but he was still in shock that he was going to be a father.
