-chapter 3

"So then I said, sure I'll go with you to the winter ball, and do you know what that guy had the nerve to say? "What did he say to you Katie?" The three of them walked side by side, they were the queens of the school: Lily, Katie, and her loyal lap dog Frances. Crowds parted to let them past, boys lined up to be the one's to date them, they had the best of the best, and none could stop them. Katie Zabini was the richest of the group, her father owned half of the shops in Diagon alley, and had five vaults at Gringotts, fully occupied. She had a natural tint to her skin that made all the girls envy it. She was a size three in jeans, had long, raven hair and an impeccably white smile, full of perfect, straight teeth. But the thing that was envied the most, not her fortune, hair, skin, or teeth, it was her eyes. They where like deep, piercing pools of black and had a thin brown circles around them, the perfect combo to make any boy stare. Frances Weasly wasn't too bad herself, alright she wasn't any boys first pick, in fact she had brown hair and a kind of pale glow about her, but two things made her worthy, her fortune and her size D breasts. It was a common occurrence that when a boy talked to her, he rarely looked her in the face. Last but not least Lilly Wood, she was a thing of beauty, not Katie's, exotic looking kind of beauty, but definitely a thing of beauty. She had hair that was blonde with a bit of chestnut mixed in to it, her eyes were the bluest of blue, and her smile drove boys mad. Her real special ability was that she was half metamorphmagus. Her mother was none other than Nymphadora Tonks. Since Lilly is only half metamorphmagus she can only change certain things like makeup, eye color (though she rarely does) body art, piercing, and ah yes, chest size. She was known to look soft and innocent but really was a party animal. She was the prettiest girl in school, besides Katie that is, and usually got a date at the snap of her fingers but now, thanks to her now oversized belly, she was rarely seen with a guy. "He says that he already has a date." "Oh god the nerve of that boy!" Frances exclaimed. Seeing as Lilly didn't say anything Katie looked over and said "Lilly were you listening to my story?" "Oh no, sorry, I was thinking." "Oh" she said haughtily "Well then I suppose I'll have t-"she broke off, seeing Darien over Lily's shoulder. "Oh gods, Lilly look!" Frances exclaimed seeing what Katie was staring at. Before Lilly could see him, Darien was at her side. "Hey." "Hi." "Hello Darien." "Oh hello, Katie, Frances. Look Lily, we need to talk." "Alright, I'll meet you in an hour, after dinner." "No, we need to talk now." "But Darien, I can't, I've got potions." "Snape can wait, this can't." "But Darien…." "In here, bye Katie, Frances." He said as he started dragging Lily to an abandoned classroom. Once in the room he turned her around to face him. He looked into the scared eyes of the only woman he had ever loved, they were so blue, he thought he could drown in them if he looked at them for to long. He looked away and at the floor. "Is it mine?" he whispered. "Darien I-" "Yes or no." "……..I don't know." As she said this, tears rolled down her cheeks. "Darien I don't know." She said, now sobbing. He felt like slapping her in the face but instead he took her in his arms while she emptied her eyes of all of her tears. When she finally quieted he took her face in his hands and wiped her tears away with his thumbs. He looked into those blue eyes, so blue….he leaned in and those icy eyes were hidden by her eyelids. He found her lips and kissed them lightly, he started to pull away when her hand came to the back of his neck. She pushed his head to meet her lips as she deepened the kiss. He brought his hands down to rest on her lower back as he traced his tongue against her lips, requesting permission to enter her mouth, to taste her fully. She eagerly opened her lips and let his tongue caress hers. Man she can kiss! He thought as he brought his hand down to cup her bum. Wait a second, this isn't what we're supposed to be doing! He realized and broke apart from her. She opened her eyes and a confused expression came over her face What! Why did he deepen the kiss if he didn't want to continue! "Wh-?" "This isn't what we're here for." He said coldly. "Oh, right." "How many?" "How many what?" "How many possibilities?" "……….two." "Who?" "Darien don't do this" she said sitting down in a chair and putting her head in her hands. "WHO! …….who did you cheat on me for." he requested, pain now clouding his voice. "Darien I-I can't….." "Please Lily, I want to know." he pleaded. "Ethan………Ethan Potter."

"Verona what are we going to do?" "Draco, we'll manage." "I mean he's my son and I don't even know anything about him!" "Draco! It'll be alright, just invite him to the manor when Christmas is here." "Verona…….I've-I've heard rumors I-I don't know what to, I can't take him back out of Hogwarts………but-but the rumors they're so terrible." "What ever could they be that's upsetting you so much?" "I've-I've heard that-that………he's gotten a girl pregnant."

"Deven!" shouted a cold, high pitched voice. "Yes my Lord?" "Come closer boy!" The young, black haired boy came closer, into the light of a brewing cauldron. "Let me have a look at you." The boy came still closer, this time holding his head up high. His cold, white hand touched the young face of the boy standing before him. "Have you been practicing?" "Yes my Lord, day and night." "Well, we shall soon see. GOYLE!" "Y-yes my L-lord?" said Goyle's darkened form. "Bring them in." "Y-yes m-my Lord." "Don't stand there mumbling, do as I say!" Goyle whimpered and opened the large door. "Fire up the torches, I want to watch!" The Dark Lord ordered. He then turned to the boy "Deven, let's hope your training has paid off." He said, indicating that the boy should go into the arena. As Goyle heaved the huge doors open, the boy found himself actually scared Stop that, I must remain emotionless! He told himself. Once the doors had opened The Dark Lord started to laugh, the very laugh that made shivers run down the boy's spine. What the hell is it? Only horrible things make my Lord laugh like that. The boy told himself…..

A/N I'm so0 sorry it's been so long, my mother had a seizure and I've been in the hospital, computer less. Also, things kept just coming up, one after the other, to keep me away from spending more than an hour daily at my computer. This chapter isn't one of my best, but expect better next update. -Laura
