CHAPTER 14
The Girls Learn They Were Wrong
A few days passed and Cho seemed rather quiet. BV couldn't tell when or if Harry had apologized. One Night Cho came in to the dorms with tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong Cho?" Asked a concerned BV.
"Nothing, BV, nothing," Cho responded calmly.
BV sarcastically said, "Uh huh, and I'm the pope!" Cho smiled weakly and shook her head. "What is it?" Asked the paranoid BV.
Cho sighed, "God, I knew he was a good guy. Why was I dumb?"
"Oh, did Mr. Potter apologize?" BV asked rather bemused.
"Shut up, BV! I know you had something to do with it!" Cho scolded.
BV raised her arms up in a mock surrender, "I did nothing of the sort!"
"Oh yes you did!" Cho accused; then she quietly whispered, "Thanks."
BV walked over to Cho and whispered in her ear, "Welcome." BV then got up and left destined for the commons. She was about to work on her potion essay and start studying for finals and O.W.L.'s
A Few Months Later
"OH MY GOD I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT! I KNEW HE WAS NO GOOD!" Cho Chang yelled storming into the dorms.
"Cannot believe what?" Asked Andrea as she stood up from her stretches for dance.
"YOU DIDN'T HEAR?" Cho shrieked positively enraged. Andrea shook her head as she went down into a split.
"I did." The girls turned to see Rhonda leaning against the door frame "Marietta's now in the hospital wing!" Rhonda said obviously try to not laugh at the situation. "What exactly did he do to her?"
"NOT HIM! HER! Little Miss I-know-everything, Hermione Granger! No one knows how to get the word 'sneak' off her face!" Cho yelled.
Andrea fell out of her split laughing, "Wait! Wait! Hold on... Marietta Edgecombe is in the Hospital Wing with the word 'Sneak' on her face?"
"YES!" Cho screamed infuriated, "AND IT'S POTTER'S FAULT!"
"Wait, you just said it was Granger's!" Rhonda complained as she started walking into the room.
Cho screwed up her beautiful face, "He's the one who agreed to let her use such... such..." Cho struggled for words, "such an unethical charm! I refuse to date someone like that!" She paused and breathed heavily, her fury evident. BV began to get enraged, how stupid could you get? She thought to her herself shaking her head and deciding to give Cho a nasty dose of reality.
"FINE!" BV snapped, "Maybe you should try to get shagged by your dead boyfriend instead!" She crossed her arms and leaned against her post of her four poster bed.
At her comment, there were two angry and one bemused voice yelling, "BV!" BV turned and realized it was Andrea who found this very bemusing. Andrea was having a blast with this. She grinned and gave BV a thumbs up, thus egging BV on.
"What? Seriously Chang! Why would anyone want to date you when all you are thinking about is him? MOVE ON! He's gone and always will be! I know they say that 'Love conquers all'. But love can't conquer death, still loving him won't bring him back! Trust me I've tried!" BV fumed.
"BV, I thought you were on my side here!" Cho bickered. "I thought you knew how I felt about him, why aren't you being sympathetic, he's not the same nice guy you met. Why aren't you on my side?" Cho cried out in anguish.
BV calmly said, "I'm on your side as long as it's to my benefit, if you know what I mean?"
Cho crossed her arms haughtily, "Well for your information, I don't get what in the world you are talking about!"
Rhonda snapped, "She's basically saying, you were a friend in need and you always gave her hand so she was repaying the debt until you decided that was it!"
"No, I'm saying, Chang was a great friend until I saw her true colors and I hate them, so I'm not gonna be on someone's side if their values are so different. I'm not gonna help someone who doesn't want to be helped. GET IT?" BV argued.
Andrea who normally never sided said, "In other words, Chang, you don't want to forget, you don't want to move on. So BV is basically gonna let you stay there. And I agree, if you wanna be miserable all the time, wanna cry about something you couldn't change, keep crying but don't drag us with you!"
Rhonda, little miss opinionated, started in, "YOU TWO! How dare you! She's one of our best friends, she's upset and needs help and your turning away. You don't get over things like that overnight!"
"YEAH!" Cho yelled, "WHY AREN'T YOU HELPING ME, BV! He's not the same guy is he!?" Cho said infuriated.
"Listen Chang, I'm know he's not the same around you. He's different with me cuz I'm not a bitch who accuses him on every date of doing something wrong! And you know what Rhonda, I agree with you, but Chang's gotta be willing to back away. Never forget, but move on. She says she wants to but never does! Nothing pisses me off more than someone who puts off what they want the most! She's here for her, not him!" BV yelled back.
"MAYBE I'M NOT READY TO MOVE ON!" Cho screamed finally getting the message BV was sending!
"THEN QUIT KISSING BOYS LETTING THEM THINK YOU WANT MORE WHEN YOU'RE NOT READY TO HANDLE IT!" Andrea screamed. The girls stopped at looked at Andrea. Andrea was normally so quiet was now being a completely different person. She realized it too and quietly got up and walked across the room and out the door.
"SEE REINHEART IT'S YOU! ANDREA HAS NEVER LASHED OUT LIKE THAT!" Cho scolded.
"So? She's got a point!" BV snarled at Cho.
"WHY YOU...."
"JUST SHUT UP! I'M SICK OF HEARING IT! SHUT UP!" Rhonda yelled collapsing on her bed.
"WHY DON'T YOU RHONDA!" Cho yelled, "Maybe we're sick of hearing you back out! They're being brats, they're using my pain to feed off of!"
"NO! Cho, you are so stupid! We're using your pain to try and show you what we're telling you! You're just to dumb to see it!" BV yelled back.
"Whatever Chang, were all right in some sense or another!" Rhonda said pulling back her covers and crawling in clothes and all. "Good night ladies!" She said as she snuggled in pulling down her curtains around her bed.
"Good idea!" BV said changing and then she crawled into bed.
Cho cried out, "You spiteful bitches! All of you!" She ran out of the room and did not come back.
Mid- April
BV was laying on her bed one Saturday afternoon studying for her Charms O.W.L.'s. The whole Cho was being self centered and blaming Harry argument had died down with no discussion. It was best, they all had to tend to their own wounds from the argument, most of all, Cho. BV felt as though she was almost healed. She dipped a quill aimlessly into her ink pot when an owl flew in the open window and dropped a letter off for BV. She opened it and read through it.
Hi Honey!
Hope your doing well! Noel and I are doing just fine! I bet your wondering why I wrote to you. Well I talked to Professor Dumbledore and we arranged that I could bring Noel there for Easter! So on Easter Sunday you can meet us up on the 7th floor lounge. Professor Dumbledore can tell you where that is if you don't know. He says we should be just fine there! Love you tons, keep studying.
See you then,
Love your mother and Noel.
"WOO HOO!" BV screamed jumping off of her bed and dancing around the dorms even though no one was there! BV figured it was best that no one saw her dance like an idiot or they'd start questioning her. Andrea came in and smiled.
"Finally get something BV?" She said sarcastically.
BV grinned, "Yep! Man, Andrea, seriously, Cho was right, I've had way to much of an influence on you!"
"It's for the best!" Andrea smiled back.
"Oh really?" BV asked truly puzzled.
Andrea smiled, "Yeah, before I was never open to others, I never felt confident enough to open my mouth and tell them what I really thought. Thanks."
"No problem." BV answered smiling back at Andrea.
Andrea smiled at her and the two sat in silence for a bit before she asked, "Hey, BV."
"Huh?" BV asked looking up from her charms notes.
Andrea sat there quietly staring at her and then coughing up some courage said, "I was thinking, call me crazy, but I think you've been lying to us."
"Lying about what?" BV asked slightly afraid of what Andrea would say. Her mind ran wild with the thought that Andrea figured out the truth about Noel Leigh- Anna.
"Noel Leigh-Anna." Andrea said staring at BV trying to read her face.
BV scrunched up her face, "how can I lie about her?"
"I think she's yours." Andrea said calmly. There was no way around this Andrea had won, she figured out the truth. She learned that she was wrong and everything wasn't how she normally saw it.
"How did you figure it out?" BV asked finally giving in.
Andrea smiled, "I knew, I had a feeling. When you were telling me about your rape I started putting two and two together. Especially when you said you skipped for a few months cuz your blood takes a while to reproduce. That was awkward so I started researching and they said nothing about reproducing blood taking a while. So I figured you were pregnant."
"And I guess my telling you and Cho two different things by accident didn't help matters!" BV said finally relaxing it was rather easy and rather needed that she should talk to someone.
"Yeah, that was a huge tip off when I thought about it. And besides she looks so much like you! When I saw the picture if her laying in her crib I realized you sleep the same way. On your side with one arm above your head and the other supporting your head." Andrea said grinning.
"Oh that's a new one! After all the reason's I've heard on these paternity shows that's new! The baby sleeps like them!" BV laughed out.
Andrea said, "Well, it's true, I only realize because it's really awkward! Now this one you'll think is absolutely out there! But it's true! I noticed it with my niece and nephew."
"YOU'RE AN AUNT!?" BV screamed staring at Andrea.
"Yeah my brother Ilea, he's twenty five, has a 8 month old daughter, Maria Eileen and my younger , well sorta, he's younger than Ilea, Yuri has a 4 month old son, Michael Lance. But I noticed something when comparing their baby pictures. Ilea's wife was older when she had Maria, she was 25 and Yuri's wife was only 19. Even though girls are usually tinier at birth, Maria was bigger than Michael. My mom asked the doctors if that was unusual but they said no actually it was because Maria's mom was older, more stretch in her stomach more room for the baby to grow."
"I get it." BV said knowing what Andrea was about to point out.
Andrea smirked, "Yeah and Noel is very tiny. I figured your mother had to at the youngest be about 42. And Stacey to be about her late teens early 20's. So looking at Noel she had to have a young mother, which made your story about her being Stacey's seem realistic until I compared with my nephew. Noel's a lot smaller! Because...."
"I'm was a lot younger." BV sighed, "Man, Andrea you really think too hard!"
"I know, but BV?" Andrea asked.
BV sat back against her pillows, "What?"
"Why didn't you tell us?"
BV thought about this trying to string words together, "Well, first off I didn't want you guys treating me any different. When everyone at Vincentian found out I was pregnant they started to stare at me like I was some freak or some whore who after she had the baby would sleep with them next. I lost the decent reputation I had at Vincentian. It's hard to get a good one. Teachers have favorites and it's hard to break past those barriers."
"Oh, BV!" Andrea said hugging her, "I admire you more for this! Wow! I never would have been able to do that! Raise a baby!"
"But that's just it! I'm not raising her!" BV yelled.
Andrea grinned, "Hey BV for the first month of her life who was there when she cried who did everything she needed?" Andrea asked then she answered, "You did and at 15 that's incredible!"
"I guess, but like I said, everyone just treated me differently so I didn't wanna chance that here." BV said smiling weakly.
Andrea grinned a Cheshire grin, "Yeah, well anyway! I bet your wondering why I came up here! I actually came up here to tell you Mr. Potter would like an audience with you in the great hall at 3:45."
"Fine, Fine, what does stupid want to know about girls now!?" BV exclaimed seeing she had only twenty minutes to get out of her pajamas. She ran into the bathroom and easily flatted her fly away pieces of hair. She put on a dab of makeup so she'd look presentable. She grabbed jeans and a woven poncho. She spotted a long sleeved white tee shirt. She attempted to throw it on before she realized it was Cho's because it was too tight! She grabbed a turtleneck from her drawers and threw on a pair of black boots.
"OW OW!" Andrea cat called her grinning from her bed as she looked up from reading a book.
BV glared at her, "Shut up, Andrea, it's not like I wanna go." She walked towards the door and slammed it shut.
Andrea whispered, "Yes, you do. You really like him more than Cho does."
BV descended the ladder muttering, "What is it now, Potter! Seriously doesn't that boy study for test at all!" She climbed back up cursing, "If this about Chang I'm gonna kill him, I swear to it!" She was still fuming when she ran into a Gryffindor boy. She apologized and the boy turned around. It was Seamus Finnigan. He gapped at her wildly like he'd never seen her before. "Well I'll be going, now, sorry again." BV apologized.
"Yeah, your welcome." He said vaguely. BV raised an eyebrow and hurried off. She was suddenly hit with reality. He saw a part veela, he went gaga! BV shook her head as she entered the great hall she began to walk around looking for Harry. All of a sudden she felt hands on her shoulders she shrieked drawing attention to herself. She jumped and turned around looking into Harry's green eyes.
"Hello to you too, Miss Reinheart!" Harry said laughing. He whispered, "Now that everyone is staring would you like to take a walk with me?"
"Sure," BV said as she tried to conquer breathing normally again. "Did I ever mention I hate when people do that to me cuz of Jed?"
"No, but I figured." Harry said rather embarrassed at the scene he had made. The two walked outside and went towards the lake. "BV," Harry started
BV looked at him, "Yeah?"
He turned away, "Why didn't it work out?"
"Oh Harry!" BV exclaimed amazed that, this was the reason he want to talk to her! "Cho, well, Cho's living in a world of her own. She's not sure what she wants, she's not sure of what to let go. She wasn't ready to love again and unfortunately you got caught in the cross fire. Trust me on this. She's still healing from pretty boy!"
Harry started to laugh, "So she's not mad at me for anything, right?"
BV smiled, "Well she's angry, but nothing you'll ever do can change that."
"Why?"
"Why?" BV repeated, "Well, let's just say she envies Miss Hermione with a passion." Harry's mouth began to move and before any sound came out BV interrupted, "And no matter how many times you tell her your not dating she's still gonna think it cuz your friends with her and that's cool." And before she caught herself she said, " Chang's loss not yours."
Harry looked puzzling at BV, "Oh really, her loss not mine?"
"Yeah.... OH MY GOD! OH NO HARRY! I'M NOT AFTER YOU NUH UH! NOT AT ALL!" BV said quickly.
"Sure?" He asked almost daring BV.
BV looked at him, "Yes... No..." Then remembering her American upbringing she sang, "Maybe ... I don't know can you repeat the question."
"I said..." Harry started.
BV laughed, "Harry, it's an American Muggle thing, just forget it.... And..."
"And?" He prompted.
BV took a deep breath, "And please forget about me. I can't and.... I refuse to love again. It burned me too badly the first time. Now I got a baby to take care of and I can't allow myself to love again, I'm sorry. I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but I can't. And besides your too nice for me."
"Oh BV!" Harry exclaimed wrapping his arm around her shoulder, "No, I'm just a guy, just a guy who's trying to avoid the evilest wizard of all time so he can live. But I'm normal, really BV!"
"Someday, Harry, maybe, someday." BV said looking at him as her eyes began to water.
"Why not today, BV?"
"Just... Just..."
Harry came closer, "Just why?" He was inches away from her face. They stood about even height wise BV may have had a few inches on Mr. Potter, but not many.
"Just because I said so!" BV said childishly.
Harry was now centimeters away, "Not good enough Reinheart." He stretched out his hand and brushed it against her soft cheek.
"Yes it..." BV started but as soon as she opened her mouth Harry pressed his firmly against hers. BV's eyes widened and she was caught breathless. She quickly pressed herself away. She was infuriated and did not know they had an unseen audience.
AFTER BV LEFT
"Awh shit, seriously, I know curiosity killed the cat, but I can't stand it!" Andrea said slamming her book down.
Rhonda entered, "Oh just for once, Andrea, just be curious and nosey! As long as it's not me your nosing about!"
"Not you, Reinheart." Andrea said as she rolled off her bed.
Rhonda grinned, "Well in that case! Nose all you want!"
Andrea started walking across the room to her closet, "I think I will!" She opened the doors and found her favorite pair of blue jeans. Low rise to show off her middle and a black crop top from ballet practices at home. She bunched it up with drawstrings at the bottom of the shirt. She found BV's ballet flats and thew them on.
"OW, OW ANDREA! Look at you! So sexy!" Rhonda called looking at Andrea like she never saw her before! It was true sorta, Andrea usually hid her tiny mid section under a button down blouse with average fit jeans. Her hair usually stayed pulled up in a bun or braids or something. Now it went wherever the wind wanted it to!
"Yeah, but I gotta go!" Andrea said, "Don't wanna miss the action!" She skipped the last five rungs of the ladder and ran out the common too the second floor. She looked outside and saw Harry and BV down by the lake. BV was standing there her pink poncho fluttered in the breeze showing off her white turtleneck underneath. She grinned as the two came close, she had been right, BV liked him more than Cho ever said she did! Then the couple kissed making Andrea grin like crazy! But that lasted all of two seconds for when their lips met BV broke so unexpectedly. Then Andrea got rather angry with her, but she didn't know what they were saying but saw BV start yelling at him for, what she assumed was, the kiss. She got up and stormed off towards the entrance hall.
"Harry! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?" BV screamed tears forming in her eyes. She stared at him and once she received no answer she turned and started to walk away.
"BV..." Harry whispered, "Please, don't go." Then he called out, "BV! I'm sorry!" She turned and stared at him.
"I am too Potter, I am too." The two stared into each others eyes, not knowing that destiny decided to be kind. BV tried to look sorry, but it wouldn't come so she turned and walked back up to the castle where she was immediately confronted by Andrea.
"COME!" Andrea yelled grabbing her poncho as she tugged BV back to Ravenclaw Common room. Andrea's eyes were no longer crystal sparkling blue dots in a glittery black abyss. They were filled with a fiery wrath, a wrath that would make the gods of the ancient world tremble with fear. The affectionately called Aphrodite would have trembled if she was still the normal Andrea. Andrea stormed into the dorms with BV dragging along. "Hi Rhonda, do you mind if BV and I have a little chat alone please?"
"OOH, Reinheart is in trouble with Aphrodite! Go To em girl! Good luck BV!" Rhonda said as she grabbed her bag and walked out of the room.
As soon as the door shut Andrea whispered, "Silenceo Automus."
In admiration BV said, "Advance, Andrea, nice."
"Yeah whatever!" Andrea scoffed. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!"
"WHAT!" BV screamed at the suddenness of Andrea, "What the hell are you talking about!"
Andrea rolled her eyes, "You, you and Potter! I saw you two kiss what is wrong with you why did you break it?"
"ANDREA! Are you mad! I can't kiss random guys! I don't like him! He likes me a lot but I can't return those feelings! His heart has been toyed with enough! I don't wanna break his heart again! Why should I lead him on like Cho lead him on? WHY?"
"You shouldn't I just thought you two had something going, guess not." Andrea said her cheeks turning a light crimson.
BV whispered, "That's alright, maybe someday, just I don't think either one of us can handle being in love right now."
Andrea hugged her, "I understand, but a word of wisdom from a goddess, don't tell Cho!"
"I had no intention what-so-ever of telling her."
THAT NIGHT
"HEY LADIES!" Rhonda called out, "TRUTH OR DARE?"
Cho smiled, "I'm game!" There was a general consensus and the game began.
"Oh yeah, someone better explain the British way to BV or she'll get confused like me!" Andrea said smiling.
Rhonda said, "I'll tell her. Okay BV, here's how it works! There's a mistress of questions each round she asks each of the players truth or dare like normal until she gets each one of us then a new mistress takes over after a mistress truth question. Usually very deep and dirty. And! To ensure truth to each question a truth charm will be enforced upon the room... Mistress Chang? If you will..." Rhonda said to Cho. Cho whispered a spell and the room was covered in an eerie blue light.
"Truth spell?" BV asked amazed at Cho's talent.
"Yeah, nice little thing you learn from Lauren." Cho smirked.
Rhonda said, "And since I have decided to start the game I am the game's first mistress without a mistress question." She tried to be all eerie and mysterious, but it wasn't working. "Marietta, Truth or Dare?
"Truth." Marietta said confidently.
Rhonda thought a bit, "Hmm, ooh I got it! Have you ever failed an exam and had to do extra homework for it?"
BV sat there rolling her eyes this was it? She thought as Marietta said, "I failed an exam but never had to do extra work." She said as she sat back against the foot of Cho's bed.
"Alright, Chang, Truth or Dare?"
"Oh you know me Rhon, Dare." Cho said grinning.
Rhonda thought but as she was Andrea whispered something to her she grinned and said, "Alright Chang! We," She indicated Andrea and herself, "Have it! Okay take those boxer shorts over there." She pointed over Cho's shoulder and the girls turned to see Andrea's silky black boxers lying discarded on the floor. "And take them down stairs to Christopher and tell him he left them behind the other night."
"WHAT!" Cho screamed, "WO, WO RHONDA! ISN'T THAT A BIT OUT THERE?" BV was laughing really hard along with the other girls.
Now this is more like it! She thought to herself.
"Too chicken, Cho?" Rhonda taunted.
Cho who was very red in the face got up grabbed Andrea's shorts and started out of the dorms. The girls all walked to the ledge to see her do it! "Hey Chris!" Cho called out. The girls began to giggle each covering her mouth trying to mask it.
"Yeah Cho?" Chris asked turning away from Padma it was rather obvious the two had been kissing Christopher had red lipstick all over his mouth!
"I was just cleaning my dorm and I came across these." She said casually, this wasn't that bad actually she was gonna break up a relationship over a dare! SWEET! She thought. She pulled the shorts out from behind her back, "I guess you left them the other night..." Then she whispered something the girls couldn't hear but boy Christopher and Padma did. Padma got very angry and Christopher was red in the face. Cho started walking away.
"Hey Cho! These aren't mine!" He called out to her.
Cho smirked, "Sure they are! Or why else would they be under my bed or don't you remember the other night?" She started climbing the ladder. The girls were already laughing on the floor. Cho came in and collapsed in Rhonda's lap laughing her head off! "Hey Rhonda!" Cho said in-between laughs.
"What?" Rhonda asked trying to catch her breath.
Cho smiled, "the great thing about doing stupid things is after a while you become pretty good at it!" That started a whole new epic of laughter.
"Okay, Okay!" Rhonda said trying to regain control. "Aphrodite, truth or dare?"
Andrea smiled, "Okay, how come I know what the dare'll be if I say dare? So what I'll do it, Dare."
Rhonda started laughing, "Go to it Aphrodite!" Andrea got up with a huge grin on her face. She started climbing down the ladder.
"Rhonda, what's the dare?" Marietta asked.
Rhonda said, "Now she's gotta get her shorts back from Chris accusing him of stealing or something like that!"
"Oh my God, RHONDA!" BV gasped laughing. This was getting good! The looked down and Andrea was getting ready to go for it.
"HEY CHRISTOPHER!" She called out. The common room began to stare.
"Oh Hey, Andrea!" He said wiping the lipstick off his lips. He really like Andrea and the whole Ravenclaw house knew it too. This was gonna be good. Andrea stared at his other hand which still held her boxer shorts.
She gasped, "My, shorts! YOU PERVERT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY SHORTS!" The occupants of the common room gasped.
"Andrea," He feebly said, "I didn't..."
"OH NO YOU DON'T! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" She turned and there was Steven Walsh he was pretty nerdy but he was alright. Andrea flung herself at him crying. "Christopher! I can't believe you I thought you were a good guy!" Steven awkwardly wrapped his arms around the crying Andrea.
"Wow, she's good at this!" Marietta said.
Cho said, "Well she is a ballerina, born for a stage, born to perform, but I'll admit this is pretty darn good and I bet Andrea is having a field day with it too!"
Andrea lay in Steven's arms crying for a minute or so then she snapped up, "Wait! That means you must have rapped me when I wasn't feeling good! When I had that sleep potion, you put something in it!" She accused pointing a finger at Christopher. "Then... Then.. you.. " She gasped and began to bawl into Steven's open arms. "YOU DEFILED ME! I HATE YOU! CHRISTOPHER, I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL!" She screamed at him.
Christopher found his voice, "Andrea, I didn't sleep with you, I swear to God!"
"THEN HOW DID YOU GET MY SHORTS?" Andrea screamed through her fake tears.
Christopher started, " Well, Cho..."
Andrea didn't let him get farther than that, "CHO! Cho what! OH MY GOD! YOU PERVERT! You used some spell and made Cho take them off of me! That's so sick you damn pervert! What pleasure is there in that? Why didn't you go all the way you bloody coward!" She screamed at him. The whole common room was staring with bemused looks upon their faces.
"ANDREA!" HE screamed as she walked towards the ladder.
"WHAT?" She yelled back.
Christopher said "I don't know how to make you see I didn't defile you!"
"Whatever!" Andrea said as Christopher grabbed her wrist.
"Wait, Andrea, I really like you and I honor you, I wouldn't do that to you. I swear!" He said as he leaned forward and kissed Andrea full on the lips. Her eyes got wide and she tried to push away but Christopher had too good of a grasp on her.
"OH MY GOD!" Rhonda gasped as Cho began to giggle.
"This is fantastic!" She laughed quietly.
Andrea finally pushed Christopher away from her. But in the process she backed up and she fell through the ladder shattering the wood. She lay on the ground wincing in mild pain. Steven went to her aid, "Andrea?" He called.
"Hmm?" She asked very dazed.
"You alright?" Steven asked.
Andrea got up, "Fine just fine." She used a spell to fix the broken ladder.
"ANDREA!" Steven exclaimed.
"What?" Andrea asked puzzled.
"Your legs!" He pointed down to Andrea's bare legs where cuts lingered from the split wood.
Andrea said, "Oh there fine, I'll just go clean them up. But thanks for being so concerned." She leaned forward and kissed Steven on the cheek. She climbed up the ladder a few rungs.
"HEY, ANDREA!" Christopher called, "FORGETTING SOMETHING?" HE tossed her shorts back up to her.
"Thanks, and next time be man enough to take em off yourself!" She said spitefully. The whole common room oohed at her derogatory remark. She came back in the room and used a quick spell to mend her cuts. She started to laugh as she collapsed on Marietta's bed. The girls got up and gave her a standing ovation.
"WOW! I THINK ANDREA WINS ALL! That was fantastic Andrea!" Rhonda said. "I never would have imagined you as a drama queen!"
"Well, I heard your comment, Cho, she's right! Born a dancer, born to be on stage, made for performance!" Andrea said smiling at her job well done. "Oh yeah Rhonda!" She said after a moment of silence, "Thanks."
Rhonda raised an eyebrow, "Thanks?" She asked.
"Yeah," Andrea said smiling, "Now Christopher won't flirt with me everyday!" The girls moaned and then started laughing.
The game processed and then it was Cho's turn to ask a mistress question to whomever wished to be the next mistress. BV decided to take a gamble, "I'll take the question, Chang." Cho and Rhonda began whispering to each other. Cho emerged from her little pow wow with a cocky grin on her face.
"What BV you look worried, Rhonda told you mistress questions are deep and dirty." Cho smirked.
"So? What's the worse you can do?" BV asked staring at Chang's face which was grinning broadly.
"Have you ever had sex with a guy?" She asked.
BV's mind began to race and the words spilled out before she was ready for the reaction, "Depends how you look at it!" She said.
"WOAH! What? How can that be?" Rhonda asked.
BV sighed, "Well, technically yes, but it was literally rape."
Cho gasped, "You were raped?"
"Yeah, fourth year at Vincentian." BV said leaning back on her elbows.
"Do, you... um mind telling us about it?" Rhonda asked wearily.
BV looked at her, "I don't mind, it doesn't bother me."
"Okay." Rhonda said as she reached out and reassuringly shook her foot.
BV took a deep breath, "Well we had a rival school from California visiting for a Quidditch tournament between the two schools. Well they had classes like usual, so of course a bunch of surfing dweebs can't study very well! So I was asked to tutor this Jed Flaraski. I was a prefect so it was kinda expected of me to tutor him, so I did. Well the first night I met him I met his little skanky girlfriend. She was something else. We don't get along either! Hmm maybe it's the fact she keeps calling me a half-breed and I kept telling her to remind me later... I don't know."
The girls laughed at this. "That could be it." Andrea said grinning at BV, who had to admit it was pretty funny even though it was true!
BV continued, "He was so lost even after explaining it. He was definitely up to no good. He tricked me into agreeing to a Friday night tutoring session. So we meet on Friday and it runs late. He insist he has to take me back to my common room! So I give in, we arrived to my common room and while I'm trying to open the main door he grabs me from behind, stuns me and dragged me into the Arithmancy classroom. And I think we figure out how the story goes from there."
"Woah, BV, I would have never guessed!" Marietta said clasping a hand to her mouth.
"BV" Andrea warned, "I think they need to hear what happens a few months later, don't worry, they'll be proud."
BV glared at her when Cho asked, "What else goes wrong?"
"Okay, I guess Andrea's right! Well two months later I realized I was still missing my period..." BV started.
"YOU WERE NOT!" Rhonda gasped.
Cho went nuts, "YEAH, SHE HAD TO BE! OH MY GOD! Noel is your baby, not Stacey's not your moms! YOURS!"
BV nodded and Rhonda couldn't believe this, "Wait a second, so that little baby," she pointed to Noel Leigh-Anna's picture, "is your baby daughter?"
BV nodded, "Yeah, I've never really told anyone until now."
"So, how did you know Andrea?" Marietta asked.
Andrea pushed her blonde hair to one side, "Well it's a long story."
"Let's hear it!" Cho said shaking her head.
Andrea sat up and crossed her legs Indian style, "It started back when I wasn't feeling well, BV realized I was the one raped by Roger that night."
"WHAT!" Rhonda screamed, "ANDREA! Why didn't you tell us? Seriously we've been going crazy this whole year trying to figure out who it was!"
"I was scared" Andrea whispered, "not sure how you guys would handle it."
Cho scolded, "You could have died! Good thing BV got to you and saved your tiny little butt!"
Andrea smiled, "Whatever so, BV told me about the rape and reassured me I wasn't pregnant by telling me she skipped for few months cuz her blood. Well I researched and found no evidence to back that story up. I looked at Noel's picture and realized she was really tiny. The doctors told my Mom that her 19 year old daughter in law's baby was smaller than her 25 year old daughter in law cuz the 19 year old mom was smaller. I noticed Noel is really tiny, actually extremely tiny so it couldn't be Stacey's but BV's daughter." She shrugged her shoulders and smiled.
Marietta said, "Sounds like a good bit of luck to me Andrea!"
"Yeah it was, seriously if it wasn't for me BV might not have ever told us!" Andrea said as she proceeded to crack her knuckles.
BV decided and then spoke, "Hey guys, you can't tell anyone but Mom is bring Noel on Easter Sunday. If you guys wanna see her with me?" She asked unsure.
"BABY!" Cho and Andrea shrieked they looked at each other and started laughing.
"Sure." Rhonda and Marietta said together.
"BABY!" Cho and Andrea yelled smiling at each other.
EASTER SUNDAY: Seventh Floor Lounge
"Okay guys, ready?" BV asked looking at her group of friends.
"YEAH!" The all screamed back. The girls were ready to meet BV's little daughter and their clothes showed it!
Rhonda was wearing denim overalls with a cute pink tee shirt underneath. Her hair was in pigtails and she had tied pink ribbons to hold the pigtails. She had put on very little makeup. When asked why she skimped out on her normal façade of makeup she answered, "I don't wanna scare the baby!" And she had on BV's favorite shoes, her hot pink converse sneakers. Marietta was a bit more dressy she had on a light yellow terry-cloth skirt. She had put on a white turtleneck and pinned a sunflower broach to her chest. BV warned her Noel might try to grab it off of her. Noel had a fascination with yellow things, BV and Marlene's hair for example! Marietta's hair stayed in it's fixed braids. Cho had a soft pink dress on with jeans underneath and cute little flip flops on. She had left her hair down, but put a pink head wrap in her black hair. Andrea won the most baby-friendly award! She had on a long sleeve pink tee shirt with a white tee shirt over it. The tee shirt had Born to Dance on the front and when Andrea turned around she had the number 16 on it. Above the number it said "Baby Girl". Her blonde hair was well out of baby Noel Leigh-Anna's way as it was in a high pony tail which was then wrapped up in a bun. Andrea also had on Cho's pink Ballet shoes on which were almost hidden under her long jeans.
BV said to Andrea as she came out of the bathroom, "Good job Aphrodite, Noel can't grab your yellow thing."
"What?" Andrea asked confused.
BV laughed, "Your hair, Noel has a fascination with yellow things, mainly, blonde hair that's in reach of her tiny hand!"
"Good, no ouches for me!" Andrea said smiling at BV.
"Let's Go!" BV said as she lead the girls out of the commons and towards the seventh floor commons. No questions were asked, mainly cuz of prefect Rhonda's presence! As the girls got closer to the commons they saw a woman sitting on the sofa. There was no doubt this was BV's mother. BV ran and hugged her mother screaming, "OH MOM! I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!"
"Ooh! Bridgette Viktoria! Honey, your squeezing too tight!" Her mother gasped as the girls laughed. "Okay Bridgette." Her mom said after she caught her breath, "Who are these lovely ladies?"
The girls grinned as BV began to introduce her friends, "These are my dorm buddies. The one in the overalls is Rhonda." Rhonda waved and BV continued, "The one in the pink dress is Cho." Cho smiled sweetly at Marlene Reinheart. "Marietta is there in the yellow and white" Marietta nodded her head. "And last but not least, "Andrea in the pink and white"
"Hi, Mrs. Reinheart!" Andrea said smiling.
"Oh, girls, just call me Marlene." BV's Mom said smiling at the girls.
BV casually asked, "So?"
"So what?" Her mom taunted back.
"My daughter!" BV said as though it was obvious.
Marlene looked uncomfortable, "Well Noel has a bad cold and I figured it wasn't a good idea to bring her here."
"MOM!" BV whined, "THAT'S NOT FAIR!"
Marlene smiled, "Wonderful mother you are! She could have gotten worse if I had brought her!"
Andrea looked down shaking her head and smiling at BV when she noticed something. She nudged Rhonda and Rhonda looked at her. Andrea pointed at the little baby crawling towards BV. Rhonda remained quiet and placed a hand over her mouth. Marietta then noticed Noel and was about to say something when Rhonda motioned for her to be quiet! But of course that wasn't going to stop Cho!
"BABY!" She screamed out loud. Rhonda Andrea and Marietta groaned. BV looked around at eye level to see where her baby was. Expecting someone to be carrying Noel Leigh-Anna to her. She felt a little push on her leg. She looked down and there was Noel in her little yellow sleeper crawling around. She looked down at her and looked at her mom with a bemused grin on her face.
"Mum, you know how much I hate you right now! That wasn't cute!" She then leaned over to pick up her daughter. "WOW! Your getting big!" BV said as she lifted her daughter on to her hip. As normal Noel Leigh-Anna went for BV's hair. She grabbed a fist full and tugged watching her mom wince with pain. Cho began to pull hers back.
Marlene laughed, "Oh Cho, honey, Noel will only grab blonde hair, I think it's because when she was born Bridgette held her and her head was on BV's hair. She seems to tell people apart by their shampoo's, watch..." Marlene walked over to BV and Noel. "Noel, who's that?" Marlene asked her granddaughter. Noel pulled her Mom's hair to her mouth but instead of trying to eat it, it looked like she was smelling it.
"MA, MA!" Noel shrieked, "MAMA!" BV looked with teary eyes at her mom.
"I HATE YOU!" She yelled at her mom, "Why couldn't I have taught her that?"
"BV! That was hard to do!" A voice said. The girls looked around and finally saw the speaker as she stood up from behind the couch.
"Hillary!" BV screamed.
"Yep, but it was hard, we had to blow up a picture of you and place some of your shampoo on blonde strands of yarn glue those to the picture. AND! Avoid her calling Marlene mama!" Hillary said somewhat laughing. "I told you she was a quick learner just like you!"
"Seriously! I wasn't smart enough to figure out who was holding my by their shampoo!" BV argued.
"Nope," Hillary said smiling, "You just knew after you were told."
"How Precious." Rhonda whispered reverently. She stepped slowly towards BV and Noel.
BV smiled, "Here you go Rhonda, watch out she's heavy."
"Ooh How big you are!" Rhonda said bouncing Noel on her hip. Noel instantly grabbed a dark black pigtail and smelled it.
"That's Rhonda." BV cooed.
"Wanda!" Noel chirped back sending Rhonda over the edge!
Rhonda smiled, "OH MY GOSH HOW CUTE!"
Noel then went on a chanting spree, "Wanda, Wanda, Wanda!" Then Rhonda turned and Noel saw BV, "MAMA!" She started crying as she reached out for her mom. BV took her back and Noel smiled at the girls.
"Stops in a hurry!" Marietta said smiling.
Cho smiled, "Yeah she knows Mommy and missed her mommy!" She stepped towards Noel, "Yes, you did." She said babishly, "Your mommy was here all along with us and we took good care of her oh yes we did!"
Marlene whispered, "Your so good with babies, Cho, ever consider a career with children ?"
"Actually I was." Cho said blushing, "I was really thinking of being a nurse for infants and newborns."
"You'd be good at that," BV told her friend. "Ooh, okay, baby Noel Leigh-Anna, time to meet Cho. Don't worry Cho she won't pull she'll grab." BV handed Noel over to Cho.
"Wow, you're a big little pot-licker aren't you!" She cooed in baby Noel's tiny ear. "So perfect" She whispered. Noel grabbed Cho's long black hair. "Hi baby Noel, I'm Cho... Cho." She repeated.
"CHO!" Noel spit out proud of herself.
"Ha Ha Rhonda, she got my name right!" Cho taunted.
Rhonda smirked, "Well you really can't mispronounce your name!"
"Here you go Andrea!" Cho said handing the little girl to her friend.
"HI!" Noel chirped becoming more sociable as more people held her. "You?" She asked Andrea.
"On- Dre- A" Andrea pronounced slowly.
BV exclaimed, "Really? You pronounce it that way!? I always thought it was And -reah."
"Oh it doesn't matter, really, Momma's the only one who really makes a fuss of it." Andrea complained.
"Awdrea!" Noel chirped at her .
"Close enough." Andrea smiled.
"ANDREA! Seriously it's your name it matters how it's pronounced!" BV bickered.
Andrea grinned, "Fine, BV it's pronounced On-dre-ah"
"Thanks." BV said in a final tone. The girls spent a few hours with Noel, Marlene and Hillary. But it was soon midnight and Noel had fallen fast asleep hours ago. So the girls hugged Marlene and Hillary and each kissed baby Noel's forehead. They left BV to say a final goodbye.
"Good group of friends you have, Bridgette Viktoria." Marlene commented, "Cho is quite a character. But she seems like you a lot."
BV smiled, "Yeah, Cho, she's livin for that dream that'll never come true. She's struggling to move on with out any mistakes."
"And she's not willing to admit she's wrong. Something I think you've finally learn, my daughter." Marlene said smiling at her daughter.
"Yeah, it took a while, but I'm not perfect, nor was I ever. No one is." BV said maturely.
Marlene looked down in BV's arms, "Oh really? Little innocent babies like Noel aren't perfect?"
BV looked down at her tiny daughter asleep in her arms.
"Well maybe she is perfect, alright, just perfect." BV sighed as she kissed Noel's cheek.
EPILOUGE COMING!
