Chapter 15

I do not own any characters but Shelby, Max, and D

Gryffindor Tower

"Yes Harry, my daughter Shelby,"

"Ron, why didn't you tell us?" Ginny said

"Who's the mother?"

"Linda, but she's gone she ran off and now I'm going to take care of her. Dumbledore said I could stay in school and take care of her he's getting me a new room and all." Ron said smiling slightly he couldn't believe he could ever care for something as much as he cares for her.

"Linda?" Harry said thinking "The girl 9 months ago the senior in school.... The blond one?"

"Yeah" Ron said "Look you can see blond hair on Shelby already, like her mother. First blond in the family." Ron said smiling

"I have a niece," Ginny said smiling "god mom's gonna kill you!"

"Ron," Hermione said then hugging him hard. "Do you have diapers? Bottles? Baby food? Crib?"

"Well no." Ron said realizing he didn't know anything only that he loved her and wanted tot take care of her...

"O I know I have this book... it has spells to change diapers and I can write to my mom and have her send, baby blanket's and a couple of bottles, I guess from Diagon alley cause they should be magical one." Hermione started and Ron was just smiling happy he had such great friends.

"Why didn't you tell me about Linda Ron?" Harry asked

"Look, it was one night. We were drunk and went behind the pub... After that we hadn't spoken it was just one stupid night and neither of us was in love or anything. Until 3 months later she sent me a note to meet her, I did and she told me she was pregnant and going to have the baby. I sent her money though she didn't ask and some food and stuff. She was kicked out of her house because of it and together we got her a small apartment. She would let me know if she needed anything and I agreed to be part of the baby's life. Then I got a note she was in labor, and I tried telling you guys so many times but I couldn't. This is my baby and I'm going to be its dad."

"You have us Ron," Hermione said putting a hand on his shoulder. Ron smiled and they all sat in the common room together for a while.

Morning

Gryffindor Common Room

"Mr. Weasley." Dumbledore whispered tapping Ron slightly on the shoulder "Mr. Weasley wake up..."

"Hmmm what," Ron mumbled sitting up. "Professor Dumbledore! What are you doing here?"

"I am here to pick up Shelby," Dumbledore explained. Ron had slept holding her the whole time she was so small it took him hours to sleep fearing she would fall out of his arms as he slept. "I have two of my best house elves taking care of her."

"All right," Ron said as he handed her to Dumbledore. He didn't want to let go of her but he did.

"It's all right, you can come pick her up from my office after morning class's to take her to lunch. I will have also the house elves prepare some baby food for you to feed her with and a bottle of warm milk."

"Thank you Dumbledore."

"No problem my child, Shh I don't want to wake up the other boys." Dumbledore whispered as he left.

Two Hour's later....

Breakfast

"Ron Where's Shelby?" Harry asked as they sat to eat.

"Dumbledore took her, I get to go get her after morning class's and take her to lunch."

"Well we only have 2 class's before lunch." Max said smiling

"We have 3 Max," Hermione said

"Nope, potions class is going to be canceled. Severus has wedding plans to sort out with some people which he has to do now so he's going to cancel it."

"Maybe this Marriage has some benefits..." Ron said.

"Wait who's Shelby?" Max asked

"Shelby is my daughter, she was born yesterday." Ron said not wanting to jump around it and trusting Max.

"Your daughter? Wow how old was the mom?"

"17 actually, a year older then me."

"That's young, I'm surprised she didn't get an abortion." Max said

"An abortion, you mean kill the baby! No way it's a good thing she didn't." Harry said

"Yeah that would have been terrible." Ron added. Then Max stood up and left knocking over her plates.

"What was that?" Harry said.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"!!! D said punching him on the shoulder.

"Ow! what?" Harry asked

"There is nothing wrong with abortions! You have no right to judge anyone! I f you were 16 and pregnant by some guy you wouldn't fucking keep the baby, unless you wanted to. That is everyone's own chose."

"I didn't mean anything just trying to show Ron it is all right that he kept the baby."

"Well some people didn't do that and making tem feel like shit is not the way to do it!" D said pushing him as she stood and left the room.

Teachers Table

Dumbledore was not at breakfast today as he was busy making arrangements with Shelby. McGonagall and Snape sat next to one another and were watching the students.

"What is going on there?" McGonagall asked

"I don't know but Max seemed upset should I go after her?" Snape asked

"I don't think so, her friend D went after her maybe it's a girl issue."

"Well there goes Hermione perhaps your right. Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter look pretty upset... Like they did something." Snape said with suspicion

"They probably made some stupid male comment."

"More like some stupid Gryffindor male comment."

"Like the boys in your house say better comments I've seen how they treat the girls."

"Yeah but in my house there smart enough if they are friends to smooth it over,

"Yeah, yeah cunning Slytherin. Is that how you got Max?"

"No," Snape said thinking of Max "With Max, I fell in love with her and acted like a idiot male Gryffindor." Snape said laughing in his sarcastic laugh... if you could really call it a laugh "But then when love was through making a fool out of me I came back to the,"

"Sarcastic bastard you are?" McGonagall added smiling

"Yep."

Grand staircase

"Max! Wait they didn't mean it they were just being boys! Stop!" D yelled running up the stairs after Max. Max was a dam fast runner as she had played soccer and D was getting pissed.

"D! Max! Wait up. What Harry and Ron said was idiotic." Hermione said running after the two. Then Max stopped and sat down plop on the middle of a staircase. D and Hermione caught up and each fell to one of side of her out of breath

"Max, look their boys they don't know any different." Hermione said.

"They don't know, I got pregnant one night, now I'm on the Pill so never again but it happened. I was stupid it was months ago about one month before I came here. He was some jerk who treated me like shit. We slept together after getting stoned and partying and he promised to use protection but the bustard didn't. Then I was pregnant and 16 I had only one good choice abortion."

"Wow, Max you are a very strong person. I respect you so much for being able to make the tough decision as long as it was the good one for you."

"I couldn't ruin my life." Max said

"You couldn't keep him anyways with us traveling dimension to dimension! You did the right thing." D said

"Yeah look last night Ron and I talked you know now he can't go to university anymore, there are a lot of doors that have been shut for him and he knows it. Everyone has to make there own decision Max. D's right you had to do what you had to do." Hermione said.

"Group hug!" Max yelled and they all hugged and suddenly the staircase moved as they so often do. The 3 of them screamed and laughed holding onto the stairs tightly until they stopped. "We should get off the stairs now!"

"Yeah!" D said

"Right behind you!" Hermione added as they ran off to there first class.

Transfiguration class

"Today we shall be learning how to transfigure a book into a little box. So if you have a secret book or diary and you ever need to conceal it, u can turn it into a small box and keep your secrets there." McGonagall said dramatically smiling "The spell is Arca Dissimulare! Now say it clearly and tap the object once on each corner of the book." The whole class listened and followed.

"Hermione," Ron said "I can't get this, can you help?" he asked nicely. She was next to Ron in class but Harry wasn't next to them as usual, instead he was next to D at the table to the left of Hermione and Ron and Max was next to Draco behind Hermione and Ron.

"Ron, you tap all four corners not just four times but on the corners of the books and then say the spell not during or before." Hermione said smiling. After a couple of times she had gotten it. She quickly looked behind her and saw Draco give her a wink and a little smile, Hermione smiled back and turned around quickly before no one noticed, though 2 people did.

"I saw that," Max whispered in his ear.

"What?" Draco asked in a low voice

"That smile to her," Max whispered back smiling.

"That was a scowl to a Gryffindor and don't forget it!" Draco said raising his voice a bit, he was worried if any Slytherin found out it would not be good or safe for anyone.

"Don't worry I won't tell but be more careful, this time I only noticed next time someone else will."

"Thanks." Draco said back while getting back to his transfiguration. He had already done it but was pretending to practice as he daydreamed. Someone was watching the two, as they obviously weren't thinking about transfiguration.

Hermione had pretended to drop something and she turned around she smiled at Draco who ignored her completely. What had she done? Then suddenly he threw her a note...

Sorry, got to be more careful love, tonight come to my rooms.

Then it disappeared in fire; wow she would have to ask him that spell. She understood it wouldn't be too good for everyone to find out... but even being the brightest witch of her time she still did not understand the full extant of danger she would be in.

Granger and Malfoy together a couple! She thought sitting down. She couldn't figure it out a Gryffindor and Slytherin. It has happened in the past but those two? I wonder if anyone else knows. I doubt it; it doesn't show that they know. I think I better keep a close watch on them. Does that girl know the danger? O my god the two have rooms right next to one another. Maybe I should get Severus and see what to do. McGonagall thought to herself.

"Very good now I want 2 feet of parchment for next week on the reasons of the tapping on four corners and the other effects this spell can have."

"Max, what class do you have next?" Hermione asked

"Draco and I have history of magic with Hufflepuffs you?"

"We have charms with the Ravenclaws." D said

"After that we have free time since there is no potions so what you want to do?" Max asked

"I was hoping D, that we could go and do our homework thing." Harry said giving her a look that he wanted them to alone.

"Right, yeah." D said

"I actually am going to go to my room to do some work." Draco said.

"Yeah me too." Hermione said "Plus maybe I'll rest in bed before lunch"

"I have to go see Dumbledore about Shelby." Ron said

"Right, actually I have a lot of work I got to catch up on. Max said smiling faking it.

"Good, you should really do some work," Hermione said as they all packed up and left to their next class.

History Of Magic

"O great the bloody teacher is asleep again." Draco said

"Yeah, so Draco can you believe about Max and Snape?" Sarah asked. She was a Slytherin like him.

"Yeah, crazy but my father says he's happy for Severus finally getting some, and Max is one hot girl to get, father's going to be best man in his wedding." Draco said acting his part as always.

"Yeah I heard, mother and father told me that the dark lord had something to do and Max has joined them! She's one of the youngest ever to join. I'm glad she's on our side I mean she hangs out with that mud-blood Granger, and disgustingly Weasley and potter. Even her best friend D is potters girlfriend!"

"Yeah I can't understand it either." Draco said holding in not hexing her for calling Hermione a mud blood.

"Draco, Sarah hey," Will said walking over "What you guys talking about I'm bored out of my bloody mind with this teacher he fell back asleep."

"We were talking about the filthy Gryffindors Potter, Weasley, and Granger." Sarah said laughing

"Yeah and how could someone like Max hang out with jus low life's? I think the dark lord wants her to get information."

"Probably," Will said back "though that granger girl has gotten prettier, I wouldn't mind having a go on that. Father always tells me Mud bloods are good for one thing, they make excellent whores." Will said and started laughing in a cruel laugh and Sarah joined him smiling. It took all of Draco's energy to laugh along and smile. Then he turned to look at Max who was taking a nap at another desk.

Class was over before he knew it and he headed to his room. He was excited to see Hermione, he just wanted to hold her and kiss her.

Charms class was over and Hermione headed back to her room, to see Draco. She wondered when she could tell Harry and Ron, she would talk to Draco about it later.

Harry was taking D up to the astronomy tower to be together and Ron headed to Dumbledores office.

Max had nothing to do and no one to hang out with. She decided to walk around and maybe head to the dungeon to see if Severus was back yet. Max went and knocked on the door, but no answer so she decided to walk in and wait incase he came back but to her surprise Mr. Malfoy was there.

"Max what are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for Severus," Max said

"Ah your fiancé yes I came back here to make arrangements but he seems to not of come back from his other arrangements what about you no class's?"

"I have a free period and then lunch." Max said

"Free period?" Lucius said, "How would you like to go over some more spells?"

"Umm," I shouldn't those dark spells really effect me somehow but I have nothing better to do.... "Sure."

"Come with me," Luscious said as he walked down a corridor and whispered a word to a portrait. "This is were Severus and I as kids would practice these spells." It was dark and cold but a perfect place to test out spells. "We would test the out on each other or Rats,"

"What spell first?" Mac asked excitingly. Malfoy taught her about 8 dark spells and the more she practiced them the more she loved the feeling. They were powerful and obviously dark, it made her feel bad and like she could hex anyone to death if they messed with her and not flinch, or care.

"Look at the time," Malfoy Said "I best be going and you best be going to lunch." Malfoy said smiling.

"All right, it was fun thanks." Max said

"You did well, did you enjoy them?"

"Yeah, they were great you get this rush!"

"Yeah there amazing but addicting, be careful."

"Don't worry about me," Max said smiling as he kissed her hand they left. She headed to lunch and he headed back to the dungeons.

Lunch

Max sat with Draco at the Slytherin table today thinking it maybe be best if she met some more Slytherin people.

Gryffindor Table

"Harry where's Ron?" Hermione asked

"I don't know he should be here soon." Harry said and surprisingly at that moment he came walking in holding little Shelby.

"Ron," Ginny said smiling.

"Whose that Ron?" Dean asked and the whole Gryffindor table seemed to be waiting. Ron saw people from other tables were also watching he knew once one person knew he wouldn't have to tell others as it would pass around quickly since nothing could stay a secret in this castle.

"This, umm" he didn't know what to do, so the truth was the best thing. He hadn't even told his parents though, but he will soon. "This is my daughter Shelby."

The whole Gryffindor table went into murmurs.

"What? Your kidding right?" Dean asked

"No I'm not."

"A kid?" Jordan added in "your kid? At 16?"

"Yes my kid." Ron said

"And we support him." Harry said.

"Weasley has a kid?" Marcus said from the Slytherin table

"So Weasley actually got laid? That's the shock." Max said smiling

"Max?" Draco whispered to her. She was smiling cruelly like he has seen his father and their friends do. The whole Slytherin table laughed.

"Max!" D said upset at that comment

"The worst is the poor kid, hopefully she won't look like Weasley." Max added as everyone added

"Max, what is up to you?" Draco asked

"Nothing baby, just messing around with the stupid Gryffindors."

"Yeah the idiots," Sarah added laughing

"Max stop," Draco whispered to her

"Don't tell me what to do." Max spat at him, "Go back to fucking that little mud blood whore of yours," she whispered to him. Draco didn't know what was wrong with her but she had gotten up and left with Sarah and Will.

"Something's wrong with Max, what's gotten into her?" D said

"I think I know what." Draco said as he came over to the Gryffindor table.

"What?" Harry asked

"My Father."
