Chapter 24
Ambush - ambush come from behind
Ambush - ambush I'm in disguise
Ambush - ambush take you by surprise
Tegan hugged her sister tightly as she felt tears come to her eyes.
" How did you know I was here?" Tegan asked as Kerri smiled.
" Well your fiancé got a hold of me and asked me to come to your birthday party" Kerri said as Tegan smiled and hugged Draco.
" Thank you so much" Tegan said as Draco smiled.
" Anything for you" Draco said as the people surrounding them said aw. Tegan blushed slightly as they all sat down at the table that was set up. Tegan cut her cake that was specially made by Kerri and they ate. A few conversations made there ways around the table. Tegan couldn't help but wonder if Kerri had any contact with there mother.
" Have you talked to mom?" Kerri asked and Tegan looked at her surprised.
" No not recently. Have you?" Tegan asked as Kerri nodded.
" Yeah, I stopped home before I came to Hogwarts" Kerri said as Tegan nodded. Everyone finished eating there cake and Dumbledore cleared away the dishes with his wand.
" Why don't you start opening your presents dear" Mrs. Weasley suggested and Tegan nodded. She took the present that was nearest to her and took the card off. She read that it was from Mr. And Mrs. Weasley and smiled at them. She opened the wrapping and saw 2 sweaters. One was much smaller then the other and she smiled. The larger sweater had the word mother stitched on it. The smaller one had the word child stitched on it.
" Thank you" Tegan said smiling brightly at the thought of her and the baby wearing matching sweaters and took another present. She noticed this was just a journal with a ribbon tied around it. On the ribbon there was written to Tegan from Dumbledore. Tegan undid the ribbon and opened the journal cover. She felt tears come to her eyes as she read the inscription.
" The private diary of Mary Aurora Taylor" Tegan read quietly. She smiled at Dumbledore. She would now be able to learn who her mother was before everything happened. Tegan placed the journal on the table next to the matching sweaters and she took another present. She opened the card and saw that it was from Hermione and Ron. She unwrapped a picture frame which had little categories of its own. She noticed there were various pictures of Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny under the friends category. Then under love there were pictures of her and Draco.
" Thank you" Tegan said as she smiled and noticed the spot for family pictures was blank. She would have to put the baby and wedding pictures under that category. She took another present from the table and noticed it was the smallest out of all the presents. She read that it was from Harry and Ginny and watched as they gave each other a glance. She opened the box and saw a beautiful bracelet with two diamonds within it. She saw that the diamonds were Draco's and the babies birth stones.
" It's enchanted to tell you where they are on the back" Ginny said as Tegan turned over the bracelet. She looked on Draco's birth stone which said Gryffindor common room. When she looked on the babies she felt more tears come to her eyes. The birth stone said as in tummy and Tegan smiled. She stood up and gave Ginny and Draco a hug.
" Thank you" She said as they smiled. Draco took the bracelet from its box and put it on Tegan's wrist. She smiled at him as she noticed there was one more box and took it. She read the card and smiled happily.
To: my love on her 18th birthday
Love always and forever: Draco and baby
Tegan opened the box and felt tears finally spill over onto her cheeks. It was the crystal statue she had been seen but it was now enchanted to look like her and Draco.
" Once the baby is a little older I'll make the smaller statue look like him" Draco said as Tegan smiled and kissed him. She heard a clink behind her as she turned around. She saw a pouch on the table and her sister was standing before her.
" There's 10,000 galleons for you there" Kerri said as Tegan looked shocked.
" I can't except this" Tegan said as Kerri smiled sadly.
" It's a present for the baby then. Put it too good use" Kerri said as she hugged Tegan. Kerri pulled away quickly and started to walk away.
" Kerri wait!" Tegan said going to walk after her sister but stopped. She clutched her stomach as she collapsed to the floor. The last thing she saw before she blacked out was Draco kneeling before her.
