Lives and Loves of Ravenclaw Girls
Chapter 31 – The One with all the Tears
By: Soretta and Samantha

Sirius Black sauntered into the third year Divination class as if nothing was amiss. Under his arm he carried the class notes that Professor Vablatsky had written. A couple of the students in the class started whispering to each other when they saw they had a different teacher.
"There will be none of that," Sirius told the whisperers. "Ten points from Hufflepuff!" Sirius grinned inwardly. It felt so great to take house points away. The two whisperers grumbled and shot death glares at the young man who was taking their class.
"Books out, please," Sirius said in a misty voice. "We will be studying moons and shit today."
One students hand shot up straight away. Sirius smiled like a maniac at the brown haired Ravenclaw and sufficed to say succeeded in scaring her to badly that she merely squeaked and went back to her work.
"Now moons tell us a lot of crap about other crap that we don't really need to know," Sirius told them. "Divination is a very wholly discipline, I don't like it very much."
Now the whole class was staring at him as if he had just escaped the closed ward at St Mungo's. Sirius seemed not to notice and headed for the window.
"Come over here and let's observe the sky."
The students were just getting out of their seats when they heard a loud voice behind them.
"Mr. Black what in Merlin's name are you doing here?"
Sirius turned to find himself face to face with Professor Malfoy.
"Hello, Professor," Sirius said grinning at the professor. "I'm filling in for Professor Vablatsky."
Professor Malfoy turned to class and said, "Class dismissed," before cocking and eyebrow at Sirius, "You put a full body bind on Professor Vablatsky and took her class notes. She did not give you permission to take one of her classes!" Malfoy said angrily. "Go to my office NOW!"
Sirius bit his lip and practically ran from the classroom with Professor Malfoy hot on his heels.

Heidi walked up behind Will and covered his eyes with her hands.
"Guess who!" she called.
"I have no idea," he said sarcastically. "We need to talk, Heidi."
"That doesn't sound good," she said worriedly.
"Here, read this." He shoved the letter he was carrying into her hand. She quickly unfolded it and began reading;
Dearest William,
As you know we are extremely displeased with the young lady you insist on pursuing. You must know that it is very bad for our social situation that you have been dating this filth. We expect you as our only heir to uphold the family values by not associating with that kind of witch.
Please understand that we have your best interests at heart and expect an owl from you within the next week informing us that you are no longer seeing this young lady.
Regards,
Mother and Father
"Holy crap," Heidi breathed. "So I guess this means …" She couldn't bring herself to say it.
"No!" Will exclaimed, "No."
-
Sirius walked silently next to Professor Malfoy. Many students passed them and gave him sympathetic looks.
When they reached Professor Malfoy's office she practically shoved him inside. Sirius looked around the room to avoid looking at Professor Malfoy. The wall behind her desk was covered with the Malfoy family crest. There were several pictures of her children and husband sitting on her desk. Her other walls were covered in pictures of dark creatures and expensive tapestries.
"So, Mr. Black," Malfoy said sitting behind her desk, taking out a quill and some parchment. "Care to explain yourself?"
"Well, it was a dare," Sirius mumbled. He looked down at his shoes.
"A dare?" she asked. "Who was it that dared you?"
"Can't say," Sirius said defiantly. He looked up at Professor Malfoy just in time to see a smile on her face.
"Mr. Black," she said still smiling. "What you did was wrong. Funny, yes, but wrong. I think a weeks worth of detention will do it and fifty points from Gryffindor."
Sirius nodded silently. He was going to get some death stares later on that day when the rest of Gryffindor found out he had lost them fifty points. The weeks worth of detentions were nothing to him, he had served so many that a couple more wouldn't hurt.
"You can go now, Black," Professor Malfoy said getting up and showing him to the door.
-
The still form of Tyler Anderson made a sudden shift, catching Megan's eye. She stared at him for long minutes but he didn't move again. Megan sighed. 'Perhaps I was imagining things,' she thought.
She was just about to get up and go to the cafeteria for lunch when she heard a grumble from his bed. She looked over to see his eyes partly open.
"Tag!" She yelled and ran back to his bed. "Tag, you're awake!" Tag merely blinked at her.
"Who –" he coughed. "Who are you?"
Megan stared at him in amazement. How could he not remember her? How could this be? "I'm M-Megan," she stammered. She looked over at him, but he still seemed to have to idea who she was.
She bit back a sob and fled the ward.
-
The next month flew by in a blur of Quidditch matches and school work. The sixth years had never had this much homework before. Heidi was feeling the strain; her relationship with Will was kept secret only her best friends knew that she was still going out with him. Between Will, Quidditch and the amount of homework they were receiving she hardly had time to breathe, let alone pick up on what was wrong with Samantha.
Samantha had rebounded from Severus Snape and was now dating every guy she could lay her hands on.
Shannon was worried about her and had tried to talk to her about it, but Samantha had laughed it off saying she was just having a bit of fun and nothing was wrong with her.
-
Samantha waited calmly in one of the stalls of the Gryffindor girls' bathroom. She tried hard to not turn around and watch the little white stick that was predicting her future.
'This is not happening to me,' she thought resolutely. 'No way, not happening.'
A tiny bell ring brought her back to the world of the living again. She turned around and pick up the stick off the back of the toilet, her heart filled with dread as to what the little stick would say.
"Two lines," she said to herself. Tears poured down her cheeks as she checked what that meant on the back of the pack. "I'm pregnant."
-
"Julie, he can't remember anything!" Megan cried. Julie held Megan in her arms while she cried.
"He will eventually, honey," Julie told her. "Remember, the healers said this might happen."
This made Megan cry even harder. "But I want him to remember!" she sobbed.
"You want who to remember?" came the voice of Heidi. Behind her were Shannon and Samantha.
"Tag can't remember her, she's slightly upset," Julie told them.
"WHAT! YOU NEVER TOLD US HE'D WOKEN UP!" Samantha yelled.
"Must have slipped our minds," Julie said appearing sorry. Megan was still sobbing away on Julie's shoulder, looking for all the world as if Samantha, Heidi and Shannon weren't there.
"Slipped your mind!" Heidi exclaimed. She was livid they had been back at Hogwarts for nearly two months and in that time neither Julie nor Megan had even mentioned Tag in front of them.
"How the hell could something like that have slipped your mind!" Shannon didn't even wait for answer as she tore up the stairs to their dormitory. Samantha glared at Julie and Megan and then she and Heidi ran up to their dormitory after Shannon.
-
When they entered their dormitory they found Shannon sitting silently on her bed.
"I can't believe it!" Samantha exclaimed as she shut the door.
"I know!" Shannon said getting up and pointing her wand at the door. "Colloportus!"
Samantha, Shannon and Heidi found sat on Heidi's bed silently for a moment. Lost in their own worlds they didn't notice that they were crying.
"I have s-s-something to tell you guys," Samantha said whilst hiccupping. "I'm pregnant."
"What? Really?" Heidi said turning and hugging Samantha.
"Oh, dear Merlin," Shannon breathed. "Who's the father?"
"I think its Snape," Samantha blurted out.
"I think you should go to Madam Pomfrey, Sam," Heidi told her standing up and heading towards the door.
"No! I don't want anyone knowing that I'm pregnant!" Sam exclaimed.
"They're going to find out anyway!" Shannon giggled. "Pregnancy is not an easy thing to hide. Trust me, my sister has a one-year-old daughter and she hid her pregnancy pretty well from our parents, but her whole school knew about it."
Heidi nodded and in agreement and finally Samantha agreed to go to Madam Pomfrey.
"But not until tomorrow, I'm tired," Samantha told them, "Let's go to bed."
-
Where Megan and Julie slept that night, they didn't know. The spell that Shannon had put on the door hadn't been broken when they awoke in the morning.
Heidi shook Samantha and Shannon awake that Saturday morning, insisting that they leave for the infirmary when less people were around to see where they were going.
-
Megan sat vigil by Tag's bedside. Julie was on the other side of the bed.
"What do you remember, Tag?" Julie asked gently.
"I remember playing in the snow!" he said giggling like a small child. Megan threw up her hands.
"Why don't you remember me!" Megan wailed. Julie quickly got out of her seat and consoled Megan.
Tag waved to them childishly as they left the room. On their way down the hallway they passed two healers who were talking rapidly. They stopped abruptly when they noticed Megan and Julie.
"Are you Megan Docura?" one of them asked. Megan merely nodded. The healer motioned for Megan to follow her. Julie made to follow her but the other healer stopped her.
Megan looked back at Julie with a scared look on her face before disappearing into an office with the healer.
-
"Miss Adams, what can I do for you today," asked the matron, who was bustling around the infirmary checking the beds as she went past. Samantha seemed as if she had momentarily lost her voice.
"Sam took a muggle test and it said she's pregnant," Shannon spoke up. "We want you to do one, just to be sure."
Madam Pomfrey looked slightly shocked but led Samantha to one of the beds. She shooed Heidi and Shannon away and shut the curtains behind her and Samantha.
-
Heidi sat on the end of Will's bed admiring the dormitory.
"Heidi," Will said searching her face for any expression.
"Mmmm," Heidi replied as Will started to kiss her neck.
"I love you so much, Heidi. You know I want to be with you?" Will asked.
"Of course I do! It's just I've never done this before," Heidi replied blushing.
"If you don't want to do this, I totally understand," Will said, massaging her leg through her robes.
"No, I want this, it's just –" Heidi trailed off as Will moved his hands to the buttons on Heidi's shirt and started undoing them.
"You're so beautiful, Heidi," he told her while leaning down and kissing her collar bone.
Heidi placed her shaking hands on Will's shoulders to steady herself. Then slowly she moved her hands into his hair, it felt like spun silk.
She let herself be pushed slowly back onto Will's bed as he managed to carefully undo her buttons on her skirt and slide his hands down her thighs.
He kissed her stomach and then came back up and embraced Heidi in the most passionate kiss she had ever received. Slowly Will moved above her then he saw her face.
"You sure, sweetheart?" Will asked. Heidi unscrewed her face and looked up at him.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I love you, Will Roberts," she replied.
"Oh, okay," he said reassuring himself.
Once all Will's clothes were thrown on the floor they lay together in love and embraced in each others arms, totally oblivious to the outer. Pure and mud alike.
Just Heidi and Will in love and together.
-
Shannon flew into Defense Against the Dark Arts on Monday morning and only stopped to breathe when she reached her usual desk. It was noted that Julie and Megan were sitting on the other side of the room.
"Sorry I'm late, Professor," Shannon said breathing hard as she sat down.
"Ten points from Ravenclaw, Miss Harley," Malfoy told her before turning back to the blackboard.
"What are we doing?" Shannon whispered to Samantha.
"Sphinx's," Samantha whispered back to her. Professor Malfoy shot them and glare and they quickly got back to work.
-
Samantha hurried out of potions the next day like a bat out of hell. She traveled down into the castle and came to a stand still at the portrait that would give her entry into the Slytherin common room.
She hid behind a niche waiting for a Slytherin to come along. Her luck was in, a huge gorilla-like Slytherin came ambling down the corridor. He said the password (blood line) and disappeared into the dungeon common room.
Samantha waited for ten minutes before walking up to the portrait and repeating the password to it. She breathed a sigh of relief when it let her into the common room.
Dressed in black robes none of the Slytherin students paid her the slightest bit of attention. She hurried past Bellatrix Black on her way up to the sixth year boys' dormitory.
-
"Miss Docura, please take a seat," the healer told her as she sat behind her desk. Megan shakily sat down.
"Firstly, my name is Phoebe Hunter; I'm the healer that's in charge of the fourth floor of this hospital."
Megan didn't say anything but just nodded. Suddenly the door burst open and Tag's parents came in looking rather disgruntled.
"You asked to see us, Healer Hunter?" Mr. Anderson asked. Phoebe gestured for them to sit next to Megan.
"Now, as you know we've been monitoring your son and those he was with since Miss Docura found them two months ago," Healer Hunter started. "It has been decided to move Tyler to the ward for permanent spell damage."
A shocking silence followed her statement. Megan tried a few times to say something but only came off looking like a fish out of water.
"What?" Mrs. Anderson finally said, "Why?"
"It's just that all of the other victims have made considerable progress with their memories, in fact one of them has already gone home," Phoebe told them. "Tyler hasn't made any progress whatsoever."
"No!" Megan yelled and was out of her seat so fast it tipped over. "Tag's going to remember!" she burst into tears and fled the room.
-
Upon entering the dormitory Samantha found the crumpled form of Severus Snape on the floor next to his bed.
"Severus?" she called softly. Severus turned his pale face towards her slowly. He merely blinked at her with fresh tears poring down his face.
"I – I," she began, "I don't care that you're a death eater anymore, Severus. I just want to be with you!"
