She was at loss of words as she stared open mouthed at Professor Lewinsky. How could it be? Damn, that's the second time today I'm thinking this, she thought.
Behind her, she heard James cough. Oh him! Lily thought. She could almost make out the wheels of his brain spinning, already devising new and countless ways to nark her.
'Any other questions Ms Evans?' Professor Lewinsky asked.
She jumped and blinked.
'Uh...Y-yes,' she said, finally finding her voice. 'I know that it is...uh, abusive of me to be asking this...but can...would it be,' she let out a hiss of breath and tried to regain control of her mind. 'Would it be possible to... change partners?' she finished in a smaller voice the speech she had started so bravely
Lily crossed her fingers under the table while she waited for an answer. Please, please, please, don't make me do this with him, Professor.
The way the latter looked at her, she almost thought that she'd agree to let her change.
Professor Lewinsky let thirty seconds roll by before answering. Please, she thought, looking at her.
'Changing partners is a "no", Evans,' Professor Lewinsky said, finally. Lily let out the breath she'd been holding. 'Divorce is on the verge of "acceptable"... but, again, bear in mind that marks will be deducted if the marriage is no success: the baby could suffer from that.'
Lily groaned inwardly. Her fate was sealed and there was no changing it.
'Anything else?' Professor Lewinsky asked.
Lily shook her head and looked down, 'no Professor.'
'Good. Then, Lily Evans and James Potter,' she said loudly, and a quill from the teacher's desk magically lifted in the air and started to write.
Professor Lewinsky then started assigning the couples but Lily could not hear anything… not anymore.
This can't be true. Potter, the same pain in the neck she was talking about just earlier was her…partner. We're going to have to take care of a baby together, she thought. We're going to be a couple for ten days.
They couldn't help bickering at each other every two second…which meant she had to prepare a whole lot of retorts for the week to come…
Oh, I can't believe it, she thought burying her face in her hands.
This is really not my day...
'So Mrs. Potter,' she heard him say, close to her ear. 'Got an idea about how we're gonna name our baby?'
She was boiling with anger at him. Of course he'd be glad! This was just another chance for him to torture her even more. She turned her face to him.
'Yeah, an idea, I've got! If it's a boy, I suggest we name him after his father,' she spat.
James looked thoughtful. 'Yeah, James is quite a perfect name, really.'
'No. I was thinking about something along the line of Dumb Head?' Lily snapped.
Her anger doubled over when he smiled coolly and shook his dark-haired head while taking a seat next to her. 'Now, now, Evans...I mean Lily, you're a Potter now, aren't you?' he smirked. '"Dumb Head Potter" will not do, will it?'
She nodded. 'You know what? I think you are so right: people might confuse the father and the son. How about "Dumb Head Jr."?'
He shook his head chuckling. 'Lily...'
'Don't,' she said, holding up a finger. 'Evans is better coming from you.'
'As you wish, Lily,' James said. Then he looked at her. 'Oops, sorry, Lily. Darn! I can't stop saying "Lily", Lily.'
Lily glared at him and tried contained her frustration. This boy was really getting to her. How could someone be such a pain???
'So, if it's a girl,' James smiled. 'I think we'll name her after her mother. How about Hottie-Tempered?'
If her eyes could, like, flash fire, she would have a very roasted and burnt James Barbecue next to her.
'Potter,' she said through gritted teeth. 'I -'
'Here is your child, Mr and Mrs Potter,' Professor Lewinsky interrupted, smiling first at James, then at Lily. 'Bravo, you are the proud parents of a little boy. He is barely six months old and in great health. I hope you will take good care of him.'
Lily forced a smile at her as she took the baby and the equipment going along with it. 'Thank you,' she said.
The baby was small, like a six month old. He's cute, she found herself thinking.
'Aw, he looks just like me!' James said taking the doll out of her hands.
'Potter, if you didn't know it, that's an insult to the child,' she said.
He glared at her. 'This is no way to talk to your darling husband.'
'You're not my husband!' Lily replied.
'I'm sorry but for the week to come I am, dear,' James smiled.
Arg! How can he be so calm? She thought.
Professor Lewinsky asked for their attention back. Apparently, she had just finished distributing the babies. The couples looked at her enthusiastically.
Lily was disgusted. She could have been enthusiastic about this project to, had she not been with him. Ugh. This was a nightmare.
'I have already talked about this to all the teaching staff and they have agreed to be co-operative and will allow you to take your children in class.'
The students all nodded.
'Now class, have you all got a partner and a baby?' Professor Lewinsky asked.
Unfortunately, Lily thought, glancing at James who was holding the "baby".
There was a mutter of acknowledgement. Professor Lewinsky smiled and raised her wand. 'Then, may the project begin!' she said as a flow of blue and silver sparkles emerged from her wand and went straight into the babies. 'Good luck to all of you!'
Lily sighed as she watched the baby come to life in James hands and as it started to cry. James panicked and trusted the doll back into her hands.
Luck? She thought desperately. What I need is more like a miracle!
