A/N: Grrrrr! I'm really sorry that I haven't posted in a while! And I'm really sorry that this chapter is short! But... here it is!

Oh yeah! And too HermioneRon 4ever... Yes, Tia will be getting help from ... a guy :P. But it might not necessarily be who you think.


I had never experienced such bad aftermath from a fight as I did with Kadie. We stopped speaking entirely and barely even looked at each other. This was definitely not what I needed. I had begun to spend my time after classes lingering around the Hospital Wing, waiting for any chance to talk to Hannah. Madam Pomfrey took this time to check up on me and badger me with random questions, which is when I decided that I may as well check and see if Kadie was right.

"Um, Madam Pomfrey?" I asked quietly as she checked my stomach.

"Yes?"

"I was wondering, did you by any chance, tell my aunt about ... this?" She looked at me strangely.

"Of course not, dear. I know how you would prefer to tell her yourself," She stated.

"Okay."

When Madam Pomfrey had finished checking me over, I left the Hospital Wing and went back to Gryffindor Tower. When I arrived in the girls' dorm, I was met by the insanely annoying giggles of Parvati and Lavender.

"What are you two laughing at this time?" I sighed as I sat down on the end of my four-poster.

"Oh, just something that happened in the Great Hall." Lavender stated. I looked at my watch and realized that I had missed dinner, but I really didn't care.

"What happened?" The two girls exchanged glances, looked at me, looked at each other again and giggled.

"Cho Chang sent Harry a letter today, and he didn't get a chance to read it until dinner," Parvati began.

"She broke up with him!" Lavender finished. Okay, I knew that these two could be kind of mean, but this was just cruel.

"That's terrible! How can you laugh at that?" I asked them.

"Because apparently, she did it because she had been convinced that your child is his!" The two burst out laughing. I sat there, completely shocked. Why would she think all of a sudden that Harry and I had... well, you know. Now all chances I had with Harry were completely gone, now that I had ruined his and Cho's relationship. But who had told her that it was his? Did she just think of it suddenly and decide to break up with him because of her imagination?

"Oh my god! That isn't funny! Cho knows that Harry isn't the father! How can you possibly find this funny?" I yelled. The twosome stopped and stared at me.

"Geez, Tia. We figured you'd at least be a little happy that Harry's single. I mean, c'mon. The whole school knows you fancy him!" Parvati stated. I rolled my eyes, determined not to get too stressed out.

"Who cares? You two are laughing at his pain! Right now I think you belong in Slytherin, not Gryffindor." And I walked out.

I needed to get away from people for a while. I just needed some time alone. As I walked down to the Quidditch Pitch, I realized that all I wanted lately was to be alone. And apparently I wasn't going to get that here, either. I noticed someone lying on the pitch. It was dark, however, and I couldn't tell who it was. As I turned to leave, I found out that I wasn't going to be lucky enough to sneak away without them noticing me.

"Tia?" A voice called my name that I recognized as Harry's.

"Hey." I mumbled just loud enough so he could hear me. I walked over to him, and as I sat down beside him, I realized that I could have easily walked away and letting him think I was someone else. "I heard about Cho. Sorry."
"It's not your fault." He stated simply.
"I feel like it is. That is, if what Lavender and Parvati told me is true." Harry looked up at me and I could just make out the curious look on his face.

"And what did they tell you?" He asked.

"That Cho broke up with you because she thought that this was yours," I told him, gesturing to my inflated stomach.

"Hmm."

"So it's true? That's why she broke up with you?" I asked.

"Yeah. But it's not your fault. Someone told her that it was mine, and she believed them. Don't know why, though," He said.

"I don't know either," I sighed.

We stayed quiet for a few minutes, even though it felt like eternity.

"So, how are you?" He asked suddenly.

"Um, in all honesty... not so great."

"What's wrong?" He sat up and looked at me. "It's not the baby, is it? I mean, it's okay?"
"Yeah, the baby's fine," I sighed, "It's just... Kadie and I had a fight."

"Oh. Um... do you want to talk about it?"

"No. I'm fine." He gave me a sort of "Do-you-think-I'm-that-dense?" look, to which I added, "Really."

"Okay. But, I want you to know that I'm here if you need to talk. Well, not necessarily here," He gestured to the pitch with a hint of a smile on his face, "But I'll be around."

"Thanks. And, if you wanna talk about Cho…"

"I'll come to you."

"Promise?"

"Promise."


A/N: What do you think? I'm sincerely going to try to get the next chapter up soon!
