A/N: Here's the next chapter. Sorry it took so long; I've been busy with
school. Hope you all like, there is more D/G action in here, since all of
you asked for it.
Madame Pomfrey rushed worriedly to Teresa's bedside. She quickly gave her a potion that should wake her up soon. Blaise, Ginny, Draco, Alicia, Stephanie, Tyrell, Mikel, and Snape stood worriedly by her bed.
Ginny was pacing back and forth. Now was so not a good time for Teresa to pass out. Not only had she scared the shit out of Ginny, but also Ginny was in desperate need of her advice.
Teresa finally awoke as lunch began. Madame Pomfrey had ushered everyone out, but Severus Snape had come back. He refused to leave his goddaughter for long. When her eyes blinked open, Snape offered her one of his rare smiles that looked too awkward on his face. Teresa smiled back.
"Hey."
"Teresa, how are you feeling?"
"I've been better."
Teresa sat up as Madame Pomfrey rushed to her side. She gently gave Teresa some chocolate. After Teresa assured Madame Pomfrey that she was fine, she left, giving Snape and Teresa some private time. Severus sat down next to Teresa.
"Are you all right?"
"I'll be fine. I just. lost concentration."
Snape looked doubtingly at Teresa. "I don't believe that. Tell me the truth Teresa."
Teresa sighed. "I saw Voldemort."
Snape's eyes widened. "What do you mean."
"In my mind, I saw his eyes. He whispered to me 'you will be mine'."
Snape looked worriedly at his goddaughter, he knew why Voldemort wanted her and there wasn't a day that went by that he didn't worry about her. Severus let his face fall emotionless once more.
"What did you mean when you said 'now it's three times'?"
Teresa thought back to earlier. She vaguely remembered saying that right before she passed out. Sighing, Teresa explained.
"Uncle Severus, you know that it's not in the Anastasio nature to be afraid."
Severus nodded. Teresa continued. "Well, when I saw Voldemort in my mind, that was the third time I was ever afraid. I just made a comment about that. You know me, when I'm afraid, I'm sarcastic."
Snape nodded. He lightly put his hand on Teresa's. She was the daughter he never had and one of the few people he was open around. "I understand. Do you think you'll be all right?"
Teresa nodded. "Go eat something, I'll be a long as soon as I convince Madame Pomfrey that I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. I'll see you later."
Snape nodded and quickly left. After convincing Poppy Pomfrey that she was all right, Teresa changed out of her Hogwarts team robes and into her clothes she had been wearing for the competition. Teresa quickly left and headed to the Great Hall. On the way there, she was intercepted by Ginny.
Ginny sighed with relief when she saw Teresa. She quickly hurried over to the brunette.
"Thank Merlin you're all right."
"I'm always all right."
"Teresa, I hate to ask you this since you just fell sixty feet and you just woke up, but I need to talk with you."
"Aight."
Teresa and Ginny headed to the kitchen. Ginny tickled the pear and walked in. They sat down beside one of the tables. The two were quickly greeted by Dobby.
"Dobby is so pleased to see Missuses again. How is Ginny? And Teresa? Dobby heard about the game. Dobby is glad Hogwarts has won and Dobby wonders if Missus is doing well? Dobby heard about the Missus fall."
"We're doing fine Dobby. Teresa is all right, but we would like food. We didn't feel like eating in the Great Hall."
"Dobby is glad to be of good service to you. What can Dobby get the two Missuses?"
"I'd like a goblet of pumpkin juice, spaghetti, and French bread."
"I'd like the same."
Dobby nodded and left. Teresa looked intently at Ginny. Only after Teresa explained what had happened at the Quidditch game would Ginny divulge what had been so important.
"I don't know how to say this. I. I've. I skipped a period."
Ginny looked nervously at Teresa, whose eyes had bulged out. For a split second, Ginny thought that she was going to shout, but Teresa kept her cool.
"Are you sure you're not just late."
"Yes, I should have had it a bit over two weeks ago and I just have. a feeling."
Teresa nodded. "You will need to get a test. Does Draco know?"
"Not yet, I don't know what to say. I'm afraid of what he'll do."
Teresa and Ginny thanked Dobby as their food arrived. Teresa took a few bites of her food before she spoke.
"You do know you are in deep shit."
"I know, I didn't expect that I would conceive the first time. Things happened so fast and it just never occurred to me that Draco and I should use protection."
"You were the last person I would have thought to become pregnant out of marriage."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I was sure if anyone did, it would be Alicia. Don't get me wrong, she's one of my best friends, but even she knows she's easy. She doesn't do it with too many guys, but if she likes you, she'll go for it. Alicia thinks that some spark will fly and she'll know. But then again, she's on a Muggle pill for that."
Ginny nodded. "What am I going to do?"
"Well, I suggest you tell Draco ASAP and postpone telling anyone else before you are 100% sure. Now you have to spend Christmas at my house because I think morning sickness begins in the second month and you don't want your mom making any guesses. I'll owl my sister and tell her you're coming."
"Are you going to tell her about. my situation?"
"It would be best. That way, she can get you a test and make any adjustments or preparations. Besides, she'll be upset if she sees you getting sick all the time. I won't tell her if you tell me not to, but I must warn you, she has a boyfriend who is also staying with us. She will probably tell him."
"That's fine. What's her name and her boyfriend's name?"
"Her name is Mariah and I have no clue what her boyfriends name is. He was gone over the summer, in Africa or something and she doesn't have a picture of him yet. They are pretty serious from what I've heard though."
Ginny nodded. One thing remained to be settled. "So, you think I should tell Draco before I take the test?"
"Well, honestly Ginny, if you have a hunch you're pregnant, than you probably are. I know Draco, Ginny, he'll understand. The main problem will be Lucius, but worry about that later."
Ginny nodded. "So, are you ready?"
"Ready for what?"
"The Yule Ball. It's tonight."
"Actually, I forgot. I guess I better go get ready." Teresa stood.
"Teresa, Draco and Blaise, are they coming with us to your house?"
"Unless you say otherwise."
"No, it's fine."
Teresa nodded and left. Ginny sat alone. Dobby cleared the table. Ginny sighed and left the kitchen. Ginny knew that Draco would probably be in his room now and Blaise looking for Teresa. With all the courage she could muster, Ginny walked straight up to Draco's room, she knew all the Slytherin passwords.
Ginny timidly walked in his room. The blonde looked up from his drawer. His chiseled chest was tan, despite the lack of sunshine, and all he had on were a pair of baggy jeans. Draco walked to Ginny and lightly kissed her. He attempted to deepen it, but Ginny pulled away.
Draco was a bit shocked as she sat on his bed, motioning him to follow suit. Draco took her hand.
"What's wrong Gin? Is your brother being a prat again?"
"I wish that was it."
Draco looked questioningly at Ginny who sighed. He turned her head gently toward him.
"Gin, tell me what's bothering you."
Ginny took a deep breath. "There is no easy way to tell you this, so I'll be blunt. Draco, I think I might be." Ginny paused.
This was it. She knew that this would determine if he really loved her. Draco smiled, encouraging her to continue.
"I'm pregnant."
His smile faded to a shocked expression. For a minute, no one said a word. When Draco did speak, it was very quietly.
"Are you sure?"
"Not yet. Teresa will be getting me a test when we get to her house."
Awkward silence filled the air. Fear rose in Ginny. She felt like her world was crashing down around her. Ginny wouldn't know what to do if Draco left her. Tears began to water her eyes. Draco saw this and brought her into his arms.
"Oh Gin. I don't know what to do, but I do know that everything will be fine. I love you Ginny, nothing will ever change that."
A light sob escaped Ginny's smiling lips. "Oh Draco, I was afraid of what you'd say. I didn't want you to leave me."
Draco looked a bit hurt, but brought Ginny's eyes to meet his own. "I would never leave you. You mean more to me than anything, Gin. You're the first person to see past the rough exterior and into my heart. I would never let you go, especially when you need me most."
Draco cradled Ginny in his arms. They leaned back onto his bed. Ginny smiled, on the verge of joyful tears. Rolling on top of Draco, she passionately kissed him. Draco's arms snaked around her back and pulled her closely to him.
Ginny felt herself go loose in his arms. Draco rolled on top of Ginny. He begin to leave a trail of butterfly kisses up and down her neck. Her low-cut, V-neck shirt allowed him to kiss her lower.
Ginny's hands wrapped around his neck, playing roughly with his gel- free hair. Draco's hands slipped up her shirt. His hands ran up and down her familiar form. A light groan escaped her lips. He returned to kissing her mouth, which opened for him when he requested entrance.
The two broke apart, each gasping for breath. Ginny glanced at his clock and saw that it was already 3:30. She knew that she should leave and get ready for the Yule Ball.
"Draco, I have to go. The Yule Ball is in three and a half hours and I need to get ready."
"It takes three hours to get ready?"
"When you're a girl, it can take more."
Draco laughed and rolled off of her. Ginny and him got off his bed. Draco pulled Ginny into his arms. Unconsciously, one of his hands lightly rubbed her stomach.
"I love you Gin."
"I love you too."
The two pulled in for a heated kiss. Draco felt himself wanting to pull Ginny back onto his silk-sheeted bed. When he broke the kiss, Ginny smiled and left.
Ginny passed Blaise on the way. He told her that Teresa was waiting for her in their room. Ginny nodded and smiled at Blaise. The two of them had become good friends. Blaise often talked to Ginny when Draco wasn't around. They understood each other well.
Walking into her room, Ginny saw Teresa sitting on her bed, waiting. She looked expectedly at Ginny who smiled.
"Well?"
"He truly loves me Teresa. Draco told me he'd never leave me."
Teresa smiled at her friend. "I knew he wouldn't."
The two girls both took showers, each taking their time. When they were both done, it was 4:30. The two were deciding what they should wear. Teresa, who had been taught a charm that enabled her to make dresses, told Ginny to envision the dress that she wanted in her head.
Instead of robes, the Hogwarts students were wearing Muggle prom dresses. That was Stanwand's tradition at balls and Dumbledore saw no harm in going along with it.
Ginny told Teresa she had the dress pictured clearly in her mind. Teresa firmly said the charm.
A long, light blue dress appeared on Ginny's bed. It was strapless on the left side and on the right side, it molded up until it was a thin strap. The top part was tight and would show off Ginny's form beautifully. The top had miniature 'fake' diamonds on it and the bottom half was a soft material flowing gently down and it had a small train in the back.
Ginny gasped. The dress was gorgeous and it was exactly what she wanted. She smiled at Teresa, who smiled back.
"You'll look beautiful. Like a modern day Cinderella."
Ginny laughed. She knew who Cinderella was. Teresa imagined her dress in her mind. Ginny admired the dress that appeared on Teresa's bed. It wasn't really a dress. It was a tube top that had strings going down the front that you tied to prevent it from coming loose. Intricate, 'fake' diamonds adorned the top. It would show off one or two inches of her flat stomach. The bottom skirt was a soft, smooth material that gently flowed down and spread out a bit at the bottom. The dress was a not a bit darker than lavender, but not purple.
The two girls put on each of their dresses. When the dresses were finally adjusted and charms had been put on them to protect them from spills and rips, it was 5:30. Then, they began doing their hair.
Ginny pulled her hair up and out of her face, with two pieces hanging in front. The hair-do was lovely and it made her look even more beautiful. Teresa had her hair hanging loosely with small curls. A tiny tiara sat upon her head.
"That tiara is pretty."
"It was my mothers. She would have wanted me to wear it. She wore it to her last ball at Hogwarts."
Ginny placed a comforting hand on Teresa's shoulder. After a few minutes, the two girls did their make-up. Both did it very light, seeing as they didn't need it. Finally, it was time for jewelry and shoes.
"Ginny, I have a diamond choker that would go well with that dress."
"All right."
Teresa summoned the necklace and Ginny put it on. It was beautiful. Teresa than said the charm again and another necklace appeared. It was a golden chain with three diamonds running down an attached chain. The three diamonds represented the past, present, and future.
Teresa remembered when her mother gave this to her for her fifteenth birthday. She smiled as she slipped it on. Then, Teresa got her shoes out of her closet. They were clear pumps with satin straps the color of her dress. Ginny's shoes were silver and clear. The two girls finally finished getting ready at 6:55.
Ginny and Teresa gave themselves an once-over and smiled at each other. The two women headed out the door. As they descended the stairs, it appeared as if they were floating. Teresa's bad-ass attitude had melted away. For one night, she would be angelic.
Seamus and Dean were checking them out, their jaws dropped. Harry, Ron, and Hermoine saw them. They walked over to join them. Ron resisted the urge to glare at Teresa and instead smiled.
"Ginny, I don't want to fight with you. Let's agree to disagree. You're my only sister and I really don't want to loose you."
Ginny smiled and hugged Ron. "I'm so glad to hear that."
"Look Teresa, we may not like each other, but let's get along, for Ginny."
"All right."
Hermoine smiled. She was wearing a dark, blue strapless dress that shimmered. Her hair was straight and lay tamed at her sides.
Harry, who was Hermoine's date, was dressed in a traditional black tux, as was Ron. Lavender stood beside Ron. Her dress was red and fit her body tightly, wit no straps as well and Chinese designs running up and down the dress in black. Her hair was pulled partially back.
Ginny and Teresa left the Gryffindor common room after receiving a few more approving stares from the males. As soon as they stepped out, Draco and Blaise greeted them. Draco had on a pair of black slacks, a white, silk shirt, and a black cape. His hair fell loosely by his face, but it was controlled. He took Ginny in his arms.
"You look beautiful."
"You do too."
The two kissed. Blaise lightly grabbed Teresa and brought her close. He was wearing black slacks and a black, silk shirt. His two-inch hair looked good and his brown eyes stared lovingly into Teresa's eyes.
"You shine brighter tonight than you ever have."
"You don't look so bad yourself."
Blaise smiled and kissed Teresa. She let him crush their bodies together. When the two couples parted and headed to the Great Hall, they noticed that most everyone else was there. The Great Hall was filled with first years as well.
The two couples danced the night away with only one bad encounter with Taylor. She tried to start a fight with Teresa, but it was quickly ended when a bowl of punch accidentally landed on her head (thanks to Ginny's 'clumsiness').
McGonagall saw this and was about to scold her students, but Professor Copenhagen told her to lighten up. McGonagall's dress was lack and white and actually stylish for her age. Copenhagen winked at Teresa, who smiled briefly at him. He favored her.
Another slow dance started up. Instead of Blaise dancing with Teresa, Draco and Blaise switched. Draco took Teresa in his arms. They weren't far apart, but they weren't meshed against each other either.
"Teresa, thanks for everything you're doing for Gin. I know that she needs you a lot, especially since the currant situation."
"Draco, she is my best friend and you are like a brother to me. I will always be there for you two."
"I know."
Draco brought Teresa closer. They dancing together and she rested her head on his chest. Ginny and Blaise knew that they saw each other as a brother and sister, and so didn't mind the closeness that their lovers shared.
Draco felt someone tap him on the shoulder and turned around. Professor Snape was standing behind him. His hair was washed for once and in his tux, he actually looked good. Draco, Blaise, and Ginny knew that Snape was Teresa's godfather.
"May I cut in?"
"Of course."
Snape took Draco's place. The two danced quietly for a few seconds before Snape spoke. He looked deeply into Teresa's eyes when he did.
"You look just like your mother. The only difference is you have your father's eyes and his brown hair. I know you miss them Teresa, but I want you to know that I will always be here for you."
"I know. Uncle Severus, I don't know if I've ever thanked you for being there for me. You've been like a second father."
"It is my pleasure to love you and continue the job your parents once had. You've always been my favorite godchild."
Teresa laughed. "Uncle Severus, I'm your only godchild."
"Minor detail my child, minor detail."
As the song came to a close, Snape leaned closer to Teresa. He gently whispered in her ear.
"Teresa, don't be afraid to love. I can se it in your eyes, you don't want to be hurt. But sometimes, by not taking a chance, you hurt yourself more than you could ever imagine."
The song finally finished and Snape kissed Teresa's hand and walked off. The danced continued into the night and Teresa kept thinking about what Severus Snape had said. In the middle of the dance, Hogwarts' team had been awarded the Quidditch cup and Teresa had been awarded the trophy for the competition.
At the end of the dance, Blaise and Teresa left for her room as Draco and Ginny left for Draco's. As the two entered Teresa's room, Teresa became nervous. She knew what she wanted to say, but she wanted to be sure she was ready to say it.
Teresa believed that telling someone that you romantically love them was one step below promising to love, honor, and cherish them in marriage. As the two changed and Teresa glanced at her mother and father's picture, all of her worries melted away.
Blaise joined her in her bed as she sat on it, ready to announce her love. He took Teresa in his arms and gently kissed her neck three times.
"I love you."
Teresa looked longingly at Blaise. She took his hands and kissed them three times. Her heart was beating fast and she felt that the world had come to a stop. No one existed but her and Blaise.
"I love you too."
Blaise looked surprisingly at her. He passionately kissed her. "I know."
The two continued into the night. They made love for the first time. Teresa and Blaise were gentle and passionate; each feeling their hearts' desires being filled. Their cries were silenced by a silencing charm. They didn't know their best friends were doing the same thing on the other side of Hogwarts.
After a few days, the Stanwand students left. Alicia, Mikel, Stephanie, and Tyrell promised to write. Damion and Taylor finally gave up their conquest and headed home still as a couple. Teresa sent her owl, Amora, to her sister.
Mariah agreed and said that she would prepare Ginny, Draco, and Blaise's rooms. She also told Teresa that their brothers, Tyrone and Matt would be coming home for the holidays. Matt would be bringing his girlfriend and Tyrone his wife and baby girl.
It finally came time for the Hogwarts Express to leave. The train ride was peaceful and when they arrived in London, her butler, Wilkins, greeted Teresa.
"Hello Wilkins."
"Hello Mistress Teresa."
Wilkins was a ghost, a very old ghost. He drove Blaise, Teresa, Draco, and Ginny to Mariah's home. Mariah had Teresa's house from the wizarding world in America moved to England's wizarding world. The house was large and Teresa heard the others muttering compliments.
The yard had twenty acres. In the back were the stables and the activity building, which contained the pool and games. The house itself was a mansion. It had four stories and an attic. The house was also long. Wilkins got the baggage for the group as Teresa led them inside.
A 5'8" blonde came rushing toward them. She was dressed in a relatively nice, light blue wizarding robe. The blonde embraced Teresa. She smiled at her and then introduced herself to everyone else.
"I'm Mariah. I'm Teresa's elder sister. And this," Mariah motioned to a man walking up behind her, "is my boyfriend, Bill Weasley."
Everyone was surprised, but Ginny was shocked. Her mouth dropped open and, in the horrible realization that her brother knew she was pregnant, she passed out. Ginny was barely caught by Draco right before she hit the floor.

The two pulled in for a heated kiss. Draco felt himself wanting to pull Ginny back onto his silk-sheeted bed. When he broke the kiss, Ginny smiled and left.
Ginny passed Blaise on the way. He told her that Teresa was waiting for her in their room. Ginny nodded and smiled at Blaise. The two of them had become good friends. Blaise often talked to Ginny when Draco wasn't around. They understood each other well.
Walking into her room, Ginny saw Teresa sitting on her bed, waiting. She looked expectedly at Ginny who smiled.
"Well?"
"He truly loves me Teresa. Draco told me he'd never leave me."
Teresa smiled at her friend. "I knew he wouldn't."
The two girls both took showers, each taking their time. When they were both done, it was 4:30. The two were deciding what they should wear. Teresa, who had been taught a charm that enabled her to make dresses, told Ginny to envision the dress that she wanted in her head.
Instead of robes, the Hogwarts students were wearing Muggle prom dresses. That was Stanwand's tradition at balls and Dumbledore saw no harm in going along with it.
Ginny told Teresa she had the dress pictured clearly in her mind. Teresa firmly said the charm.
A long, light blue dress appeared on Ginny's bed. It was strapless on the left side and on the right side, it molded up until it was a thin strap. The top part was tight and would show off Ginny's form beautifully. The top had miniature 'fake' diamonds on it and the bottom half was a soft material flowing gently down and it had a small train in the back.
Ginny gasped. The dress was gorgeous and it was exactly what she wanted. She smiled at Teresa, who smiled back.
"You'll look beautiful. Like a modern day Cinderella."
Ginny laughed. She knew who Cinderella was. Teresa imagined her dress in her mind. Ginny admired the dress that appeared on Teresa's bed. It wasn't really a dress. It was a tube top that had strings going down the front that you tied to prevent it from coming loose. Intricate, 'fake' diamonds adorned the top. It would show off one or two inches of her flat stomach. The bottom skirt was a soft, smooth material that gently flowed down and spread out a bit at the bottom. The dress was a not a bit darker than lavender, but not purple.
The two girls put on each of their dresses. When the dresses were finally adjusted and charms had been put on them to protect them from spills and rips, it was 5:30. Then, they began doing their hair.
Ginny pulled her hair up and out of her face, with two pieces hanging in front. The hair-do was lovely and it made her look even more beautiful. Teresa had her hair hanging loosely with small curls. A tiny tiara sat upon her head.
"That tiara is pretty."
"It was my mothers. She would have wanted me to wear it. She wore it to her last ball at Hogwarts."
Ginny placed a comforting hand on Teresa's shoulder. After a few minutes, the two girls did their make-up. Both did it very light, seeing as they didn't need it. Finally, it was time for jewelry and shoes.
"Ginny, I have a diamond choker that would go well with that dress."
"All right."
Teresa summoned the necklace and Ginny put it on. It was beautiful. Teresa than said the charm again and another necklace appeared. It was a golden chain with three diamonds running down an attached chain. The three diamonds represented the past, present, and future.
Teresa remembered when her mother gave this to her for her fifteenth birthday. She smiled as she slipped it on. Then, Teresa got her shoes out of her closet. They were clear pumps with satin straps the color of her dress. Ginny's shoes were silver and clear. The two girls finally finished getting ready at 6:55.
Ginny and Teresa gave themselves an once-over and smiled at each other. The two women headed out the door. As they descended the stairs, it appeared as if they were floating. Teresa's bad-ass attitude had melted away. For one night, she would be angelic.
Seamus and Dean were checking them out, their jaws dropped. Harry, Ron, and Hermoine saw them. They walked over to join them. Ron resisted the urge to glare at Teresa and instead smiled.
"Ginny, I don't want to fight with you. Let's agree to disagree. You're my only sister and I really don't want to loose you."
Ginny smiled and hugged Ron. "I'm so glad to hear that."
"Look Teresa, we may not like each other, but let's get along, for Ginny."
"All right."
Hermoine smiled. She was wearing a dark, blue strapless dress that shimmered. Her hair was straight and lay tamed at her sides.
Harry, who was Hermoine's date, was dressed in a traditional black tux, as was Ron. Lavender stood beside Ron. Her dress was red and fit her body tightly, wit no straps as well and Chinese designs running up and down the dress in black. Her hair was pulled partially back.
Ginny and Teresa left the Gryffindor common room after receiving a few more approving stares from the males. As soon as they stepped out, Draco and Blaise greeted them. Draco had on a pair of black slacks, a white, silk shirt, and a black cape. His hair fell loosely by his face, but it was controlled. He took Ginny in his arms.
"You look beautiful."
"You do too."
The two kissed. Blaise lightly grabbed Teresa and brought her close. He was wearing black slacks and a black, silk shirt. His two-inch hair looked good and his brown eyes stared lovingly into Teresa's eyes.
"You shine brighter tonight than you ever have."
"You don't look so bad yourself."
Blaise smiled and kissed Teresa. She let him crush their bodies together. When the two couples parted and headed to the Great Hall, they noticed that most everyone else was there. The Great Hall was filled with first years as well.
The two couples danced the night away with only one bad encounter with Taylor. She tried to start a fight with Teresa, but it was quickly ended when a bowl of punch accidentally landed on her head (thanks to Ginny's 'clumsiness').
McGonagall saw this and was about to scold her students, but Professor Copenhagen told her to lighten up. McGonagall's dress was lack and white and actually stylish for her age. Copenhagen winked at Teresa, who smiled briefly at him. He favored her.
Another slow dance started up. Instead of Blaise dancing with Teresa, Draco and Blaise switched. Draco took Teresa in his arms. They weren't far apart, but they weren't meshed against each other either.
"Teresa, thanks for everything you're doing for Gin. I know that she needs you a lot, especially since the currant situation."
"Draco, she is my best friend and you are like a brother to me. I will always be there for you two."
"I know."
Draco brought Teresa closer. They dancing together and she rested her head on his chest. Ginny and Blaise knew that they saw each other as a brother and sister, and so didn't mind the closeness that their lovers shared.
Draco felt someone tap him on the shoulder and turned around. Professor Snape was standing behind him. His hair was washed for once and in his tux, he actually looked good. Draco, Blaise, and Ginny knew that Snape was Teresa's godfather.
"May I cut in?"
"Of course."
Snape took Draco's place. The two danced quietly for a few seconds before Snape spoke. He looked deeply into Teresa's eyes when he did.
"You look just like your mother. The only difference is you have your father's eyes and his brown hair. I know you miss them Teresa, but I want you to know that I will always be here for you."
"I know. Uncle Severus, I don't know if I've ever thanked you for being there for me. You've been like a second father."
"It is my pleasure to love you and continue the job your parents once had. You've always been my favorite godchild."
Teresa laughed. "Uncle Severus, I'm your only godchild."
"Minor detail my child, minor detail."
As the song came to a close, Snape leaned closer to Teresa. He gently whispered in her ear.
"Teresa, don't be afraid to love. I can se it in your eyes, you don't want to be hurt. But sometimes, by not taking a chance, you hurt yourself more than you could ever imagine."
The song finally finished and Snape kissed Teresa's hand and walked off. The danced continued into the night and Teresa kept thinking about what Severus Snape had said. In the middle of the dance, Hogwarts' team had been awarded the Quidditch cup and Teresa had been awarded the trophy for the competition.
At the end of the dance, Blaise and Teresa left for her room as Draco and Ginny left for Draco's. As the two entered Teresa's room, Teresa became nervous. She knew what she wanted to say, but she wanted to be sure she was ready to say it.
Teresa believed that telling someone that you romantically love them was one step below promising to love, honor, and cherish them in marriage. As the two changed and Teresa glanced at her mother and father's picture, all of her worries melted away.
Blaise joined her in her bed as she sat on it, ready to announce her love. He took Teresa in his arms and gently kissed her neck three times.
"I love you."
Teresa looked longingly at Blaise. She took his hands and kissed them three times. Her heart was beating fast and she felt that the world had come to a stop. No one existed but her and Blaise.
"I love you too."
Blaise looked surprisingly at her. He passionately kissed her. "I know."
The two continued into the night. They made love for the first time. Teresa and Blaise were gentle and passionate; each feeling their hearts' desires being filled. Their cries were silenced by a silencing charm. They didn't know their best friends were doing the same thing on the other side of Hogwarts.
After a few days, the Stanwand students left. Alicia, Mikel, Stephanie, and Tyrell promised to write. Damion and Taylor finally gave up their conquest and headed home still as a couple. Teresa sent her owl, Amora, to her sister.
Mariah agreed and said that she would prepare Ginny, Draco, and Blaise's rooms. She also told Teresa that their brothers, Tyrone and Matt would be coming home for the holidays. Matt would be bringing his girlfriend and Tyrone his wife and baby girl.
It finally came time for the Hogwarts Express to leave. The train ride was peaceful and when they arrived in London, her butler, Wilkins, greeted Teresa.
"Hello Wilkins."
"Hello Mistress Teresa."
Wilkins was a ghost, a very old ghost. He drove Blaise, Teresa, Draco, and Ginny to Mariah's home. Mariah had Teresa's house from the wizarding world in America moved to England's wizarding world. The house was large and Teresa heard the others muttering compliments.
The yard had twenty acres. In the back were the stables and the activity building, which contained the pool and games. The house itself was a mansion. It had four stories and an attic. The house was also long. Wilkins got the baggage for the group as Teresa led them inside.
A 5'8" blonde came rushing toward them. She was dressed in a relatively nice, light blue wizarding robe. The blonde embraced Teresa. She smiled at her and then introduced herself to everyone else.
"I'm Mariah. I'm Teresa's elder sister. And this," Mariah motioned to a man walking up behind her, "is my boyfriend, Bill Weasley."
Everyone was surprised, but Ginny was shocked. Her mouth dropped open and, in the horrible realization that her brother knew she was pregnant, she passed out. Ginny was barely caught by Draco right before she hit the floor.
