Confusion crossed Katies face as she failed to think of what could be worse than her father discovering his daughter was secretly meeting up with a muggleborn. Nothing could be worse than that surely

"Oh Katie! I'm Pregnant!"

Chapter 5

Jessica's last statement hit Katie like a slap in the face, "Oh My God! No you cant be!" Jessica burst into a fresh set of tears as Katie stood in silence, her mouth gaping wide open and her eyes bulging from her sockets. There was so many questions, but which one to ask first?

"Does Lee know?" Jessica stopped crying immediately.

"No! Katie he cant know! What if father finds out he'll kill us both. Katie you have to help me I don't know what to do I'm two months late and the Flints are joining us for dinner tomorrow night I think fathers trying to fix us up and…." With a croak , Jessica's frantic speak became too difficult to understand. Katie embraced her sister as she desperately searched for a solution. Father would disown Jessica if he found out she was sleeping with a muggleborn let alone had let herself become pregnant with ones child! The only option was … "You'll have to have an abortion"

December finally approached as holly, bells and the dreaded mistletoe decorated the halls of Hogwarts. Katie, as usual was going home for the holidays much to her displeasure. As she packed her remaining luggage into her trunk she suppressed a shudder as she thought of the upcoming task the sisters had to complete throughout this festive season. It was all arranged, it wasn't hard to find a doctor whose silence could be bought. The abortion was booked for boxing day, a time when the girls knew their parents would be attending the annual adult party this year to be held by the Flint family. With a final sigh she headed towards the exit of the Slytherin common room.

After a long, rather uncomfortable journey, the Hogwarts express finally reached its destination. Two large, bulky men were waiting at the station ready to escort Katie home. These two men were hired by her father to spy on his two daughters, though Simon insists it was simply for protection. As much as Katie sometimes wished they would just disappear and give her some privacy, she had to admit they made the tedious limousine journey home a lot more entertaining.

"Seriously you guys fight like an old married couple" Katie giggled whilst watching the two argue over the new uniforms they had been given to wear by Katie's mother. The Carrow family crest was sewn into the left chest of each robe. Both were clad in long, velvet navy blue robes with gold trimming which, in Katie's opinion looked rather feminine. Neither of the guards commented on them at first but it wasn't until she turned to Brian, the most easily agitated of the two and asked him if he had sewn the crest on himself that the argument had started resulting in her forgetting her troubles and enjoying the childish argument of the two large men sharing her limousine.

Upon reaching the manor, the atmosphere changed drastically. The feeling of dread returned to Katie's stomach as the two guards regained the harsh, professional poise which was expected of them. Katie's mother came rushing out to greet her daughter with a large, extremely false smile.

"Katie! Welcome home sweetheart, how was school?" Without waiting for a reply the older Carrow guided her daughter into the manor waffling on about the latest scandals and gossip which was sweeping the wizarding world at the moment.

Christmas morning arrived and Katie couldn't help but be a little concerned at the sight of her sister rushing to the bathroom like she had every morning since Katie returned. She signed as she mentally came to the conclusion that there was an advantage to the fact that her parents neglected their daughters so. The opening of presents went by quickly, she received the usual chocolates, clothes, books and make up from her friends and family but what did alarm her was the present she received from Draco. It was a platinum pendant and bracelet set with diamonds and emeralds glittering around each, it looked very expensive. It wasn't so much the present, but the note which worried her.

Dear Katie

Merry Christmas babe hope you like the gifts, I have one more for you but that will have to wait until later today.

Love

Your Draco

"Oooooooh how exciting! I wonder what it could be" Said her mother reading the card over her shoulder before looking knowingly at her husband.

"What does he mean he'll give it to me later?" She asked her parents dreading the response.

"Well we've invited some friends over for Christmas dinner." Replied her father in a stern tone which clearly stated "No exceptions!"

"Oh…..Great!" She added with false enthusiasm. The two sisters retreated to their bedrooms to get ready for the guests arriving. Katie dressed in a simple set of black robes with a modest neckline crossing her fingers that Draco would keep his hands and lips to himself this time she returned to the living room to find it already occupied by her parents and three others.

"Ah! Katie come in, surely you remember Nathan and Marie Flint? And their adorable son Marcus" Looking around she saw two grumpy looking adults with dark features and extremely bushy eyebrows and a younger boy of about eighteen or nineteen, Marcus Flint. The family greeted her polity before turning their attention back to the door as the bell rang through the house. The Malfoys entered looking smug as always. Narcissa immediately ran to Katies mother kissing each cheek and launching into a conversation which was so fast only the words "scarlet woman" and "disgrace" could be heard. Katie came to the conclusion thy must be discussing the latest antics of the Parkinson girl who had recently been caught cheating on her fiancé with his brother, according to her mother. Draco stood in the doorway smiling at Katie, eyeing the jewellery he had bought her around her neck and wrist which her mother insisted she wore.

After much small talk, Jessica arrived looking flushed and distracted. Her fathers face twitched in annoyance at his eldest daughters late appearance but he hid it, as always under a mask of coldness. Apparently Marcus had been spending quite a lot of time at the manor over the past few weeks, he had taken quite a liking to Jessica who was currently trying to avoid any contact with the boy.

Her mother smiled and winked at Narcissa who was watching with a bizarre expression which reminded Katie of a twelve year old trying to match-make. Jessica smiled politely at Marcus and his parents before going to sit beside her sister. The adults chatted throughout dinner and finally, when all were full Simon stood up to speak. "Merry Christmas family and friends! It's been a pleasure having you here and hopefully we'll be able to have you all over next year also, perhaps all as one happy family." Katie felt the blush rise in her cheeks as she stared down at her plate wishing the earth would open and swallow her whole. Jessica coughed into her water as the Malfoys, Flints and Katie's mother raised their glasses and cheered.

As the three families began walking back towards the living room Draco grabbed her arm so they would fall behind. She turned to look at him angrily.

"What do you want Malfoy?" she asked already irritated before he even began speaking.

He smirked before saying "I've got another present for you. I'm supposed to wait and do this in front of everyone but I think this is the best way, afterall its not like you can say no" After a moments hesitation Draco began to fumble around his inside pocket, a cute pink blush appearing on his cheeks. "Oh my God! Did I just think he looked cute? No more Champaign for me today" she thought. Momentarily distracted by this thought she just noticed with a gasp he was down on one knee with a ring sized box in his hand. He looked up at her and smiled as he opened the box revealing a gorgeous large diamond engagement ring, opening his mouth to speak he said the words she dreaded hearing "Katie Carrow, will you marry me?" Katie looked around, frantic incase her parents had heard this. Satisfied they didn't have an audience she turned to the smirking blonde replying

"No" in a harsh whisper. Draco blushed further before his expression changed to a mixture of irritation, disappointment and pure fury.

"Dammit Carrow don't be such a bitch!"

"KATIE! Hurry up! Marcus has something important to say!" At the sound of Katie's mother's voice, Draco sprang back in fright, landing on his bottom with an undignified "Umpfff" Katie took this moment to escape as she walked away leaving the sleazy Git alone in the corridor.

As she walked into the living room Marcus was down on one knee infront of Jessica holding a large but not as large as the one Draco had held out…obviously! hehe diamond ring. He had just proposed to Jessica!

Jessica stood speechless looking at the ring with an expression of pure horrification. Draco walked into the room looking grumpy just in time to hear Katie's father saying "Of course she will, wont you Jessica" Noticing the stern look her father was giving her, Jessica managed to croak a quiet "Yes" The parents clapped while Marcus slipped the ring onto Jessica's finger, wrapping his arms around her and kissed her on the cheek. The rest of the evening went by quickly, Katie was happy being ignored until she heard her mother talking to Narcissa in a purposefully loud voice so everyone could hear "It's so wonderful that Jessica's finally managed to find a nice man to settle down with, now all we have to do is get a ring on Katie's finger and I'll die a happy woman!" Narcissa nodded her head shooting annoyed glances at her sulking son. As the families said goodbye Marcus kissed Jessica gently before apparating with his family. As the Malfoys were about to leave, Katie tried to distance herself as much as possible from Draco and went to bed that night happy that she managed to avoid another embarrassing goodnight kiss.

Katie was awoken the next day by someone shaking her harshly, shouting her name. It turned out to be a very pissed off Simon Carrow. Apparently he had heard about Draco proposing and was furious that she had said no. Screaming was heard, things were thrown but this time she refused to back down and say yes. Her father thought otherwise but thanks to an Act passed fifteen years ago parents could no longer force their children into marriages without their consent.

"You can beat me senseless its not gona change anything I'm not going to marry that self centred, arrogant little prick!" SMACK! Her face burned but she refused to cry. Running away upstairs to her room she buried her face in her pillow and screamed. Jessica came in and sat on the edge of the bed, Katie immediately felt guilty about being such a drama queen when Jessica was going through much more misery than her. Shame squirmed in her stomach as she realised she had been so annoyed with Draco she had completely forgotten about Jessica's abortion today.

"How you feeling Jess?"

"Nervous, I don't think I can do this Kate!" Shaking with tears and anxiety Jessica collapsed into her younger sisters arms and cried her eyes out.

"Don't worry Jess, everything will be fine, you'll see." The sisters stayed together talking and crying until the clock struck 6.30. Katie's mother and father left for the party and the girls began to gather their things ready to set off to the hospital.

It was freezing outside, rain lashed down upon them as thunder and lightening roared. Shivering and wrapped in dark cloaks they headed towards the apparition point. Upon reaching the hospital they were greeted by a chubby nurse with a kind face and warm smile.

"Hello my dears, welcome to the Luden Abortion Clinic. The doctor will be along shortly he's just dealing with another patient if you could follow me please" The girls followed the nurse into a large white room with one slim bed in the centre and a tray with metal tools to the side. Katie looked at the tools in horror, feeling her sisters hand clench around her own in pure terror.

"Shhh don't worry it'll be over in no time" she smiled at her sister trying to muster as much courage for her as possible.

"I'm sorry dearest but I'm afraid you'll have to wait outside while the procedure takes place" the nurse said while ushering Katie out of the room into the hall. Dim lights lit the hallway of the abortion clinic as Katie sat patiently waiting for news that the operation went OK. Boredom took over, it was taking longer than expected. With an impatient sign Katie raised her left sleeve to check the time only to realise she had left the bracelet on which Draco had given her. Carefully examining it she noticed a dark shadow block her light. "Now we know why the little slut didn't want to marry Draco don't we?"
