(Author note: I know, I know. I'm horrible! It's summer, and I'm hardly updating, lol, but that's because I'm working on LOTS of future Maya -listens to the cheers- That's right! XD!!! Well, here's chapter 16! =D)

Chapter 16: Pregnant? Or not...

"Ermmm....." She shrugged slightly. "I'll try..." She said slowly.

"Thank you. You'd best get to your class now, I have another in five minutes"

Maya nodded slowly, and walked towards the door. She turned around again. "O, and professor? I'm sorry I flipped you off.."

"As you should be. Run along" He flicked his wand, causing it to smack her butt on the way out (LMAO)

Maya glared at him on the way out. "OUCH! DAMNIT!" She howled, running off down the hall.

Maya came into the detention that night. She stopped, and glared at him slightly. "Where the hell did you learn that charm?" She demanded.

"Excuse me, Miss Tanner? That language is inappropriate. If you detest writing lines, I suggest you take measures to correct it," he said with a definite smirk

"This isn't cool. You are like.. teaming up on me. I mean, you got like evil eerie powers, and I got zip!"

"No, Miss Tanner, I have just successfully passes classes that you shall take next year"

"Hmm, can I drop potions next year?" She wondered out loud.

"No, you cannot," he answered sharply. "I need you to file these papers for me" he handed her a stack of papers and pointed to a cabinet full of files

Maya crossed her arms, and looked at the files. Her eyes moved from the files, to the papers a couple a times before she looked at him. "Do I have too? That's alot of paper.."

"Yes, you do please. The faster you start, the fast you can finish"

"Can I use my wand?" She asked softly.

"No, it's really not such a large stack Miss Tanner" he turned his attentions to his lesson plans. She watched him for a moment, before going to the pile. She watched to make sure he wasn't looking, and charmed the papers to sort themselves.

Suddenly, all the papers flew back at her. "I said NO Miss Tanner," Snape said without looking up

Maya pouted, and put her wand away. She sighed, and started to put them in the files herself.

In an hour or so she finished, and looked at him. "May I go now?"

"Yes, you may. Do not forget your essay"

"What essay?" She raised an eyebrow.

"The essay, a roll of parchment long, on the Draught of Living Death, due in three days. I told you about it after class earlier," he said, looking at her with an eyebrow raised

Maya looked confused for a moment, before finally, she nodded. "O, yea. I remember.." He nodded. She rubbed her forehead, and gave a small shrug. "Alright, cool. I'll try to finish that, and yea."

Snape nodded. "Then you're dismissed, Miss Tanner"

"Good night, professor." She smiled at Severus.

"Same to you Miss Tanner," he nodded, giving a small smile. Maya walked out.

That night, her, Harry, and Ginny decided to play a game on the stairs. They each got in muggle sleds, and rod them down the stairs, laughing loudly. Maya screamed with laughing, as she smashed into Minerva's door. She didn't realize it was Minerva's door, however, as she got up, and raced back towards the stairs. "What in the name of heaven is going on?" Minerva demanded, coming out of her room in a plaid robe, looking at the kids

Maya stood half way up the stairs, with a sled in hand. Harry zoomed past Minerva into her chambers unable to stop his sled, and Ginny smiled innocently. "Good evening professor."

"What are you three doing? This is insanity! All of you, have you lost your minds?"

"No, it's fun." Protested Maya. She held up her sled. "See you get on this." She pointed at the stairs. "And you ride down them on it."

"I understand how it's done, you are going to break your necks! Stop doing that!"

"Ermm, why mum?" Maya shrugged. "It's fun."

"You will be INJURED! Now stop that, or I'll take those sleds away! Go to your dorms, now!" she shouted nervously

Harry came out from the chambers, and started up the stairs with Ginny. Maya narrowed her eyes, and frowned. "We were having fun.."

"You will be killed, now stop this Maya, all of you, to bed!" Maya groaned loudly, and followed her friends.

"Doesn't the girls dorm have a slide?" Asked Harry.

"NO Mr. Potter!" Minerva shouted. "15 points from Gryffindor!"

"BUT MOM" Rang out Maya's voice from down the hall somewhere. "That's not FAIR"

"GO TO BED!"

Maya mocked her, smirking. "Go to beeeeeed." Harry and Ginny laughed gently.

"3 more points!" Minerva called to her "Maya, you stop that!"

Maya cleared her throat, and lowered her voice. "Maybe, you stop that!" Minerva marched into the common room and took Maya by the ear, marching her out

Maya screeched, and swatted at her hands. "HEY OUCH!"

"Don't you swat at me, or I'll swat YOU young lady," Minerva hissed

Maya paled greatly, and looked at her feet. "Yes, ma'am."

"You are staying with me tonight, since you cannot behave yourself"

"B-but mom!" She exclaimed. "Please, may I stay with my friends?"

"No, you may not" Minerva stopped at her door and pointed inside, letting go of Maya's ear. Maya watched her for a moment. She sniffed, and walked into the room, and slammed the door.

"Do that again and you WILL get it young lady!" Minerva called in warning, sitting on the couch with a huff. Maya stomped over to her bed, and plopped down on it with a huff. She closed her eyes tight. She felt a slight burn in her arm, but ignored it. She didn't feel like going to a meeting tonight. Severus knocked on Minerva's door.

Minerva answered it. "Yes, Severus?"

"Maya and I.... We need to go"

Minerva's face took a dark look to it. She nodded her head once, and pointed at Maya's room door. "Sh-she's in there, Severus."

Severus nodded and went to Maya's door, knocking, then opened it. "Maya, we have to go," he said gravely

Maya was curled up on her bed, crying softly. Her arm was burning, but she couldn't go. She wouldn't. She shook her head. "No.."

He went to the bed and picked her up. "Maya, he'll come here, looking for you, if you don't come." He grabbed her cloak along the way and began to carry her outside to apparate to the spot

Maya shook her head, and started to shake with fear. "No, no!" She screamed, trying to fight against him. "I can't go! No! He'll hurt me! He always picks on me!"

"I'll protect you Maya," he said firmly, her voice nearly shaking. "I swear it" he whispered. He stood her up and wrapped her in the cloak, then picked her up once more. "Tell him you're sick, I'm telling him that"

"He won't care! You know it! He'll hurt me again. I-I can't take another crucio." Her voice shook hard. "Let me go, please?" She begged. "Don't take me into pain.."

"I'll protect you" he whispered. He held her and apparated to the spot. He stood her beside him and took her arm, steadying her. She barely stood there. She shook hard, tears rolling down her cheeks. She stared at her feet.

"S-Severus." She squeaked. "I want to go home." She whispered, looking up at her teacher.

"Shh" he whispered. She sniffed, and ducked behind him, as she felt her fathers' eyes on her.

Lucius appeared in front of them all, smirking slightly. "I see you all made it." He glared at Severus. "Get that girl out from behind you." He ordered.

"Lucius," Severus said, "She is not feeling well. Very weak. She is... with child!" He lied

Lucius raised an eyebrow. "She's eleven. Who did the little slut sleep with then?"

"Me...." Severus said firmly. "She slept with me, because she wanted to carry a strong wizard for her Lord. I am a renowned Potions Master, and her father is a powerful Dark Wizard. We knew that surely, our child would be very powerful and knowledgeable, to someday fight for the dark lord. She does not mean to cower, she fits sickness, because it is early stages" he lied easily. It came very easily.

Lucius glared at them suspiciously, but for once looked away. "Anyway." He carried on with the meeting, without looking at them again. Severus held Maya close the whole time.

Lucius waved a hand in front of them all. "You may leave." He said with a growl.

They bowed, and he picked her up, apparating back to just outside of Hogwarts. He looked down at Maya when they arrived, and stroked her hair for a moment. "I told you I'd take care of you...."

Maya smiled gratefully up at him. "Thank you.. Too bad in nine months we are screwed." She mumbled.

"I've got nine months to think of something. And I will, I swear it. Such as, your mother finds out you're pregnant and makes you abort. Totally believable, considering they hate your mother"

"Hmm, that might work." She said thoughtfully.

He nodded and began carrying her back to the chambers. "I apologize that they will probably be calling you slut on occasion, but they aren't dumb enough to crucio someone carrying a cross between my bloodline and your fathers. There are powerful witches and wizards on both sides."

Maya nodded slowly. "Maybe Draco will leave me alone.."

"That's a good point as well. Lucius would have a fit were he to mess with that which Lucius approves of, which he obviously does. Just don't speak of this to anyone, and Lucius won't want it spread either, that he's begun to allow the breeding of children for the Dark Lord. Even he has a shred of decency. Surprisingly."

"Argh, you think I'm going to mention it? I don't need people thinking I slept with you." She frowned, and crossed her arms over her chest.

"OF course not. I just want to be cautious. I could get fired and sent to Azkaban, should the wrong person find out." He set her down in front of Minerva's door, sighing heavily, looking tired. "Are you alright now?"

Maya looked equally as tired. "I guess. Just the after sting on my arm." She shrugged slightly.

He nodded, and for a moment, gently rubbed her arm. "Would you like a pain relieving potion? There'd be no need to go to Poppy for it. The less that know of this, the better"

Maya nodded. "I could take one of those.." She said softly.

He nodded. "Are you well enough to walk?" he looked concerned, which would have given anyone else but Maya a heart attack, to think of the young Professor Snape as having any kind of human emotions.
